From Quiz Dead Kennedys

Answer: Pull My Strings

The Awards Show was for new and up-coming 'New Wave' bands. DK was expected to play their biggest underground hit at the time, "California Über Alles". About 15 seconds into the song, singer Jello exclaimed, "Hold it! We've gotta prove that we're adults now. We're not a punk rock band, we're a new wave band." And then they broke into "Pull My Strings". This was the one and only time the band ever played the song, either live or in studio.

3. Which member of the band left in January of 1981 to pursue a career in architecture?
