Detachable Penis

I had an appointment with my physician midday today; so I took a mid-morning departure from lab, bussed it back home, and drove to the doc's. Check-in, check-up, check-out.
Back in the car, I flip on 107.7FM ("the end... Seattle's original alternative"), and almost smash my Buick into oncoming traffic when when radio greets me with a chorus gleefully chanting:

"Detachable Penis"

I must really be out of touch with modern music. Or maybe I just haven't given 107.7 a good listen-to lately. Either way, "Detachable Penis" confused me so much that I didn't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt.
Maybe it'd be better for my driving habits if I just listened to Car Talk and NPR full-time instead.

Quiet, Sam! No one needs to know that I lack cultural enlightenment! :-)

I think that song is like over 10 years old. Hm.

Well, when I searched the band (King Missile) on google, one of the first sites that came up had it spelled "Detatchable Penis" - with the extra t. So I assumed it was an artistic thingy - the extra t and all. Now, with subsequent searches, I guess it was just a mistake. D'oh.

Why is there an extra T in detachable?
