Zip Zap Rap was a 1986 single released by "Devastatin' Dave, the Turntable Slave" with some backing vocals performed by middle-to high-school-aged children. As part of the War on Drugs campaign by the Reagan Administration the single focuses on the effects of a cocaine addiction and alludes to possible alternate career paths rather than living a life of crime to pay for the drug. Furthermore the cover itself features a yellow stripe in the top-left corner reading "Hear our message: say no to drugs".

The album gained notoriety in early 2007 when it was featured in many "Worst Album Covers" lists in the blogosphere, going so far as being mentioned by The Guardian as one of the worst of all time.

"Devastatin' Dave" Kurin currently lives as a music producer in California, and has appeared on the TV series Divorce Court.
