K-Mart the video of the song by Biff Brown (3-man)
It’s pretty funny how people have criticized social media guru Chris Brogan for writing a blog peice on KMart, after all his gig is all about building relationships you can use so why not bridge the gap between faceless corporation and people? Anyway, synchronicity and quantum intent has allowed me to have this classic pop punk Kmart song on youtube and on my art blog.
I wanted a simple way to quickly make Youtube videos from my stack of art and stack of MP3’s but I want to use my PC instead of my old Mac. I tried Windows movie maker, and it crashed every time! So I searched and found Pinnacle VideoSpin, a free simple video maker. You can upload directly to Youtube from the maker so it is pretty quick and clean. Here’s "K-Mart" by 3-Man, a pop punk band fronted by, and songs written by, Russell Biff Brown.
KMart by 3Man (Biff Brown) lyrics
Got three ninety nine in my pocket
going to kmart lookin’ for a bargin
kmart’s got lots of things
balls and hoops and Santo rings
well, I grabbed a cart and
started running down the aisles
in kmart no one goes in single file
I wasted two fatties at the deli stand
ran over two kids in toyland
(chorus)
kmart kmart ran my sister down with a shopping cart
kmart kmart looking for the blue light special
there was a sale i just couldn’t resist
but the light went out and i got pissed
It’s really gross the people pushing and shoving
to go through the place you gotta go num-chukking
it’s blood and guts and bombs and guns
(god, I just hope I didn’t hurt anyone)
(chorus)
(by the way, Alice from the Brady Bunch was the inspiration for the song haha!!)
3-Man rules! For a few months in 1991 they were the coolest band in the world, until Trevis got greedy and tried to sell the demo they recorded doh, Biff broke the band up right after they won the battle of the bands at the infamous Hanger 9 in Carbondale Illinois. Biff Brown of course formed Groove Swamp right after he broke up 3Man!
Here’s all the songs on the infamous demo!
It’s weird how quickly 3-Man morphed as they started playing Descendents covers (which Biff didn’t particularly enjoy, he heard me play the Descendents enough for me to know that he wasn’t a fan) and then they did all of Biff’s songs (including several from our days in Mississippi), then Biff started to collaborate with Jazz singer Nora, amazingly one of the rare ‘un-plugged’ gigs survived, and here it is…
~* all music by Biff Brown – singer/songwriter now in PA*~
I painted a huge mutant angel on unprimed canvas, similar to the style of the painting above (Biff and his Wife Julie), as a backdrop for 3-man, does anyone have a photograph of it? Trevis? Lumpy?

As a Kmart employee…should I even comment? I am anyway. I appreciated it as humorous and found myself wondering which stores were in the video. Any suggestions?

I have never heard of this group before but I would really like to check them up! Odd for a punk rocker like me who have not heard of ‘em! I’m actually into like the Sex Pistols, the Misfits, The Clash, to name a few….anyway, thanks for the info!
