Brats
Brats is a 1930 Laurel and Hardy comedy short. The film was directed by James Parrott. Laurel and Hardy play dual roles as their own children. It also inspired a helper group for the Michigan tent for The Sons of the Desert, which is composed of all the child members of the tent. This is the first of only three films where the boys each play a dual role: the second is Twice Two and the third and last is Our Relations.
Plot
Laurel and Hardy are spending a night in with the kids. The fathers are playing checkers and snooker, but are constantly distracted by their own incompetence and by their children, who are constantly bullying each other and trying to stay up late. The film begins with Stan and Ollie playing a game of checkers, and Stan Jr. and Ollie Jr. playing with blocks. They smash a vase and are sent to bed. Ollie Jr. goes into the bath and chases Stan Jr. out (leaving the taps on), but slips on the soap causing part of the ceiling to crash onto the pool table. Stan and Ollie are furious and rush upstairs. When Oliver opens the bathroom door, the water from the bathroom gushes out.

Brats (band)
Brats was a Danish (Copenhagen) band formed in 1977 as a punk band. Original line-up featured Hank Shermann (real name Rene Krolmark, at that time known as Hank de Wank) on guitar, vocalist Franz De Zaster, drummer Eddie Haircut and bassist Mickey Rat. After recording songs for Danish Pære Punk compilation, the band split up in 1979, not much later reforming as a heavy metal band with new members. Hank Shermann was the only original member left, and he recruited bass guitarist and vocalist Yenz Leonhardt (Jens Arnsted, later of Iron Savior), drummer Lars Monroe and later second guitarist Michael Denner. This line-up signed a contract with CBS.
After one full-length album, 1980 (1980) (re-released on CD by Diamond Records in 1999), Denner left and was replaced by Carsten van Der Volsing. Yenz was replaced with King Diamond on vocals (but remained as bass guitarist). Up to that point, the band was a hybrid of punk and metal, but King didn't want to sing punk rock, so the band started to write heavier songs than before (some of them would later become Mercyful Fate songs, although with different titles and lyrics). It was also at this time, that Krolmark became Shermann. CBS didn't like the new material, so the band quit the contract. Yenz and Monroe left the band, and the rest of the band became Mercyful Fate with new drummer Jan Musen. In 2008, the band released The Lost Tapes: Copenhagen 1979, which was actually their first album, but was never released before.

Tame Me (insomniac)
I wanna name my poison
I'm ready for some
I fill a glass, a dozen
Oh, I don't wanna stop
No, I don't wanna stop
You'll never see me sittin' down
'Cause I move, I live, I drink to fast
I gotta have all there's around
Ain't seen no thing that can make me relax
Chorus:
Just can't seem to get insomnia
Off my back, so you just gotta
Tame, tame me - lay me - curb me
Do domesticate
I'm speedin' by, you watch my back
Gotta jump me or I'll stay insomniac
You gotta go for my face
You see theese feet,
They just won't touch the brake
