Watch out, fellas...OFS (Our Father's Sons) Unlimited were from Columbus, Ohio, home of the Prix Label, which is featured as part of the Numero Group Eccentric Soul series.
Mister Kidneys is a funky warning about a smooth talkin' backstabber, 'slick as Super Fly', who is prowling the scene, messing up lives, stealing women from their fellas. The music is a mix of guitar, organ, horns, and bongos/percussion. A couple of short guitar solos included, one at 0:48, the other later at 1:26. Near the end, the vocalist spells out m-i-s-t-e-r...I wonder why he did not also spell out k-i-d-n-e-y-s? Or kidneys instead of mister.
In the Simpsons TV universe, action figure Radioactive Man has a villain named Mister Kidney Punch, who specializes in, unsurprisingly, delivering a punch to the kidneys. According to the Radioactive Man wiki, he works alongside the Scarlet Floozy and the Human Lawn Dart in a group called the Threatening Threesome. Perhaps Mister Kidneys and Mister Kidney Punch are...one and the same!!
not too many images of the group to choose from...Mister Kidneys in lower right corner.
