"Laugh My Head Off" comes from To Mother, the first EP from Babes in Toyland, the American punk band, built from Spanking Machine outtakes that the band re-recorded with John Loder in London in 1990. Loder engineered and produced it at Southern Studios, his own home setup in Wood Green, and the band shares the songwriting credit.
Kat Bjelland sings and plays guitar, Michelle Leon is on electric bass and Lori Barbero drums. Grief hangs over the whole record: Bjelland's mother, Lynne Irene Higginbotham, died of pancreatic cancer while it was being made, and that loss shaped both the EP's title and its cover, a childhood photograph of her.
