BAD NEWS - WARRIORS OF GENGHIS KHAN T-SHIRT

A cult comedy t-shirt available in black cotton.

Louder than Motorhead. Worse than they are.
The Bad News – Warriors of Genghis Khan T-Shirt is a chaotic, cranked-up homage to the most gloriously incompetent heavy metal band in British comedy history. Inspired by the immortal 1983 mockumentary Bad News Tour (and its follow-up), this shirt celebrates a band that couldn’t keep time, tune, or tempers — but still managed to become legends.

Formed in the feverish minds of The Comic Strip Presents — and featuring a who's-who of British comedy royalty including Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson, Nigel Planer, and Peter Richardson — Bad News was a satire of rock excess gone horribly, beautifully wrong. Their infamous hit single, “Warriors of Genghis Khan,” combined clunky fantasy lyrics, ear-splitting feedback, and band bickering that makes Spinal Tap look like actual musicians.

“We are the Warriors... of Genghis Khan!” — Bad News

This shirt pays tribute to that wonderfully terrible track — a power-chord-packed parody of all things metal, made by comedians who loved and loathed the genre in equal measure. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of The Comic Strip, a metalhead with a sense of humor, or someone who just appreciates absurd cult comedy, this tee lets you wear the legend with pride (and maybe a bit of blood from a flying guitar neck).

So plug in. Tune up (badly). And join the Warriors of Genghis Khan.

Includes Optional Backprint
