Mojo Nixon paired with Skid Roper in the early 1980s in San Diego.  Roper mostly provided instrumental backup to Nixon's lyrics.

Nixon and Roper released their first album in 1985 on Enigma Records.  The song "Jesus at McDonald's" from that album was the duo's first noteworthy single.

Throughout the late '80s, Nixon and Roper produced several satirical pieces lampooning contemporary celebrities.

Nixon and Roper's third album, 1987's Bo-Day-Shus!!! featured the song "Elvis is Everywhere,"

Nixon made his acting debut as drummer James Van Eaton in the 1989 Jerry Lee Lewis bio-pic, Great Balls of Fire!.

The film starred Dennis Quaid and Winona Ryder, the latter of whom appeared in Nixon's video for "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child.

Nixon appeared in several promotional spots for MTV during this period, but the network's decision not to air the video for "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant ..."

prompted him to sever ties with the network. Meanwhile, Nixon and Roper also lampooned contemporary American culture and social issues

Nixon and Roper parted ways late in 1989.
