Or they can spit in your eye or mouth — seen the movie "Big Trouble" recently?  It's hilarious!!  (I realize the Bufos don't spit ... but that doesn't lessen Stanley Tucci's agony in the closing scene.)

For some reason, I really like this mood it is putting me in!

You heard wrong.  normally with cane toads and you generally boil them to make a tea or dry the relevant glands and smoke them but real drugs remain far superior.

Wow a Dengue Fever track that i only dislike instead of totally despise

A Quinn-Martin production!

damn it Lana!!!

Cool song. To shed some "reality" on the Toad-lickin' comments...
The relevant substance , 5-OH-DMT (bufotenine), is not orally active. So you don't lick 'em, you scrape  and ... usually, smoke it.
So I've heard.

Lounge-cool ... cold Cape Cod ... ahhh ...

I will try to redeem myself by leaving bad humour behind and saying that I am very jealous you saw them live. 

Saw this great band live a couple weeks ago.  They were great.  Opener was an amazing band called Secret Chiefs 3.  Never heard of them, but they blew our heads off.  In a good way.

Gorean Frog Slave from the book...."Slave Frogs of Gor"  

"The Frog was kept collared and controlled by his Master. The collar symbolically linking it to the pad on which it was forced to stay, posed in one of the nine hundred approved frog poses." 

I have read one GOR book....the collar thing has just burned itself into my mind as the most horrid bit of writing.  

I haven't bought any of their stuff but I'm diggin' it.

Everybody here in the parking lot behind Romeo Tuna's hotel be dancin'....

What instrument makes that "ribbit" sound?

The band name is a perfect match to their muzac noise.

What a monster on the bass .....

I just dare you to listen to this with your eyes closed and NOT see Peter Sellers in a trench coat!

Ribbit! Ribbit!

According to Wikipedia, bufo alvarius (Colorado river toad) is a toad looking like this:



It rather makes you wonder who was the first person to lick such an ugly (to humans - no doubt sex on legs to other toads) beast...

Should be dung fever

As someone who ... has a lot of friends describe their drug experiences to me ... let me add this:

No one knows the full and true effect of a drug before they take it.  Ask Big Pharma, and they'll prattle on for several minutes about unintended side effects — a list of things up to and including death.  Of course, these side effects don't apply to all who ingest said chemicals, only a few; and no one knows which (if any) will show up when you take it.

Same discussion for drugs that are classified as recreational or illegal.  Different highs for different guys.  (And gals, but that doesn't rhyme.)  The moral of this story?  "Curiosity killed the cat", maybe, or "whatever gets your through the night", or "if it feels good do it", or, quite honestly, "no one knows the consequences of taking a specific drug before they actually take it."

Of course, if you're caught with illegal drugs, the one 'fer shur' consequence is that you'll go to jail.

i can lick frog addiction anytime i want

This number is reminiscent of something that Tuatara might have done.  If you like this sort of thing you might want to check them out too. Members of the band include Peter Buck of R.E.M., Barrett Martin of The Screaming Trees, Justin Harwood of Luna and Skerik.  Spy movie soundtrack vibe that is very cool and jazzy.

I am a spy in SE Asia, and must focus on my mission. This is very distracting...

Aparently it's the Mastadong.
 
From Little Rat Bastard :

The LA-based band Dengue Fever is itself a hybrid of psychedelic indie rock and vintage Cambodian surf tunes, so what better to create their music with than a custom, hybrid instrument? Half electric guitar, half chaipai dong veng (a traditional, long-necked Cambodian guitar), the Mastadong's equally unusual name was suggested by one of the band's fans. Guitarist Zac Holtzman is constantly asked about it at Dengue Fever's live shows, so he made a short video to explain the instrument.
