[kj] Funny KJ tracks?

[Christof hamille]

Killing Joke have had funny moments (Top of the Pops for example), 
embarrassing moments (Outside the Gate) and at very least I've rolled my 
eyes at some of Jaz's choice of words.  But even at the end of the day it is 
usually better than 95% of everything else out there.
