My Daughter the Broad is an album by the American band
The album introduces two new personas of Dennis Flemion, with distinct-sounding voices, a geriatric pervert and the high-pitched murderer Jack, as in the songs "Reelin' and Rockin #1" and "I'm Evil, Jack." Fans often request songs from the album in concert, but the band refuses to play some of them because of the difficulties involved with re-creating an improvisation in a live setting. The title was inspired by Mudhoney's My Brother the Cow.[3]

Pitchfork Media | 6.5/10[6] |
Magnet wrote that the album "confounded and titillated with tunes about male and female sexual deviances, study-hall pervert mutilation, molestation fantasies and other songs that raised eyebrows yet made no sense ... one of the funniest albums ever made."[7]
