'"Gimme Some Head"' is a single by American shock rock performer GG Allin. It was released through Orange Records on November 1, 1981 with "Dead Or Alive" as the B-side.
History
It features members of his first backing band The Jabbers as well as Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson of proto-punk band the MC5 (credited as The MC2) on lead guitar and drums respectively. The recording sessions for the song took place in fall 1980; these sessions also produced a third song entitled "Occupation", which was not released until the 1990s when it began circulating on bootlegs.
