Melvinsare a bizzare American rock band that usually performs as a trio. They are responsible for influencing genres like sludge, grungeand doom metal. Singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne (aka "King Buzzo") and drummer Dale Crover are constant members while several bass guitarists have cycled through the group. The band was named after a grocery clerk at the Thriftway in Montesano, Washington where Osborne was employed. Melvin was the most-hated fellow employee and the band felt it to be an appropriate name.

Okie From Muskogee (feat. Hank Williams III & Henry Bogdan) Lyrics
Melvins
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't our burn draft cards down on Main Street
We like living right and being free
We dont make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching wood
We dont let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do
Chorus:
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place here even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the court house
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and roman sandals wont be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean
(Chorus)
We still wave Old Glory down at the court house
