Total Entertainment! is a studio album by American queercore band Pansy Division. [3] [4] It was released in 2003 by Alternative Tentacles. [5] [6]
Now called the album "a goofy alt-rock amusement park ride of a record, with more hooks than a crocheting bee in a doily-happy nursing home and the gayest lyrics this side of Rufus Wainwright." [7] The Richmond Times-Dispatch called it "pipin' with hilarity and crunching power pop." [8] The Advocate called it the band's "most varied effort to date." [9]

0 is about 40 seconds of silence, followed by what sounds like a movie sample, set in a record store, in which a woman offers to play the new Pansy Division they just got in and a man declines. 16 is preceded by a 2:55 silent pre-gap.
