Wish You Were The Egg is the next-to-last eighth Punk Floyd album with founding member Dirk McQuickly, released in 1979. 

Tour and Controversy

After the release of the album, Punk Floyd went on a tour of Japan. After the customs discovered a fireman's helmet in Dirk's luggage, he was promptly sent to the local fire station to fight fires. After 10 days, he had learned enough Japanese to tell the locals that he wasn't, in fact, a fireman. It cost Punk Floyd their tour, and resulted in Dirk being sued by all the venues that had to cancel gigs, as well as all the houses he let burn down.
