![]() The kids in Ken Park have abusive/neglective parents. The end credits song is "Who Are Parents?" by The Shaggs. The movie is a series of vignettes (just like Gummo) about the bad home lives of each kid in the movie. The Shaggs are also three sisters but their names are Betty, Helen, and Dorothy (Also likes to referred to as "Dot"). In Gummo, their names (in age order from youngest to oldest) are Darby, Helen, and Dot. In the album "Philosophy of the World" (released 1969 and is the first and last album by The Shaggs) there is a song called "My Pal Foot Foot" which is a song about The Shaggs losing their pet cat just like the sisters in Gummo.Īlso the three sisters in Gummo I mentioned before have something in common. I noticed that Harmony is possibly a Shaggs fan because in Gummo (1997) Darby, Helen, and Dot has a cat named Foot Foot. So what does this have to do with Gummo and Ken Park? The Shaggs have seen both positive and negative attention for being one of the more unusual bands out there. I noticed that two of Harmony Korine's films, Gummo and Ken Park (he wrote the script but still, he was in the movie) both have references to a 1960's band called "The Shaggs".
