DAAS Icon (also known as Icon) is the first and only studio album recorded and released by Australian comedy trio, the Doug Anthony All Stars. Released in 1990, [1] it features the singles "I Want to Spill the Blood of a Hippy" and "Bottle". Icon went on to become the highest-selling independent album in Australia, [2] but was banned in the UK due to a reference to the IRA in the song "KRSNA". [3] This was later overturned by a British court. [4]
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1991, the album was nominated for Best New Talent and Best Comedy Release. [5]
The tracks "Little Gospel Song" and "Change the Blades" previously appeared on their demo tape Let It Swing in 1988. The track "Shang-a-lang" samples part of the drum intro from the Beastie Boys' " She's Crafty".
All tracks capitalised as on the back cover (for CD) and inner sleeve (for LP).
All lyrics are written by Paul McDermott; all music is composed by Doug Anthony All Stars
