"Booby Trap" rides along on Killer Klowns from Outer Space, the 1988 EP the Dickies released on Enigma, and it's a Leonard Graves Phillips song through and through: he wrote the words and the music. The EP also carries "Killer Klowns", the title song from the 1988 film Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and it packs a goofy remake of "Eep Opp Ork (Uh, Uh)", the Jet Screamer rockabilly number from The Jetsons, one more novelty cover for a punk band that collects them.
The sleeve came from Shag, the Southern California artist, the first of several times he worked with the Dickies, and Trouser Press found the whole record fun, if not especially inspired.
