Babysitters on Acid is the first album by the American punk rock band the Lunachicks.[3][4] It was released in 1990 by Blast First Records.[5] It was re-released in 2001 by Go-Kart Records.

Critical reception[edit]

AllMusic wrote that the album "didn't have much to say, but said it with enough base humor and zealous punk antics to keep the spirit of comic anti-revolution alive".[2] Exclaim!, reviewing the reissue, called it "a dopey and young record that basically defies serious criticism".[6] Louder Sound deemed the album "a day-glo classic of ramshackle excess and high-concept absurdity".[7]
