Voice of Chunk is a 1988 album by jazz band the Lounge Lizards.

“The Lizards, led by neo-saxman John Lurie, were best known for their outsider approach to bop. This is perhaps their best work, filled with humor and a solid melodic sensibility. Marc Ribot’s angular guitar and the complement of Evan Lurie’s piano make the disc a particular delight. Madhouse jazz for the unhinged.” – Tim Sheridan/AllMusic.
