About 20 years ago, my wife and I met Gibby in a bar. He told this story about how when he was a kid, he made a kite and flew it so high that it attracted aliens. (As in from outer-space) Someone asked him what his home-made kite was constructed from. He replied "Fish butts"

Leary is the most interesting guitarist around and he gets no recognition. BHS Rules!

These guys might be the most unappreciated band ever.

Best band ever , love them. Interesting, fun , sometimes funny and kick ass . Incredibly original and creative. Feel very lucky to of discovered them . Only wish I could of seen them live . Very talented band

I have no idea why....but this song regularly pops into my head. Even with not hearing it for years, it will just randomly appear in my head...especially the second verse.

the Butthole Surfers have been my favorite band for a long time. they were one of the first bands i started listening to. i'm pretty sure they will always be my favorite.

leary is a genius

When u trippin balls but still gotta play the song

The acid was prevalent in the 90s

"Happy birthday Ricky, .... you're gonna die".

this is the best version, his being so Wooden is apt considering the song

Two of a kind. One of the all time great lead singer/lead guitarist combos.

I remember they did this song live on Head bangers Ball: Riki Rachtman said he was embarassed, Gibby said "and we're sittin' here next to you dude!"

Reminds of my youth !!!!! Smells like cinnamon.... classic!

This band is never unappreciated or underated in any part of the universe

either Gibby is completely fucked up or he is dead clean.

One of my absolute favourite bands. Cool guys! Gibby is such a funny and intelligent fella and a great artist

Leary has the best facial expressions in rock

I can't believe that I missed this version. I watched almost all the 120 Minutes episodes around the time that the album that this song was on was released. I really like this version.

Such a brilliant performance! I love the sharp contrast of their moods!

Oh man! I remember this song. I didn't know it was them. Right on! Brings me back.

I watched this air.. recorded it on VHS. Good times.

Love this album, I heard it for the first time in 2003 from my girlfriend. I was 22 , obviously still love them

So much acid that was ingested listening to these musical geniuses

I saw this on MTv live and it's been burned in my memory ever since. Can't believe it's on here. MTv used to be so cool back in the day

Hurry Gurdy Man. Sweat Loaf. Goofys concern. So many good songs

I love this performance.

Geniuses. Nothing less. Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary.

Great Song! Great Performance!

Gibby reminds me the doctor Gonzo of Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas...greaat song...great acid!!!

GREAT SONG, LOVE THE GUITAR AND THE LYRICS

i love when smart people do drugs and not just fools who make us all look bad. these two men are just awesome. even while doing something like this they make it so fucking insane in a unique way/

love this. hope it stays up this time!

That was Epic. THanks for posting

So good man

Paul's facial expressions always crack me up.

amazing !!

my favorite surfers song.

That was hilarious!😜

Favorite Song, like this recording ... wish I knew the date? Guessing 1994 or 1993? Saw Paul Leary in Seattle I think 2010, he was aged which scarred me, as I am aging too, reason the liking this song, we are a all one step away to death. Remember that night, the stranger we me on the internet, him hitting the sweet tasting gas, Nitrous oxide. Saw Paul, talked to him but never took a picture, he handed a $20 to a homeless chick near the Showbox, And I automatically, grabbed my wallet and gave her a buck. That night I almost got kicked out of the showbox, and I think I was recording something, Mnnn time for me to upload something.

*exhale* I miss Ricky

Waouuuh!!! Scary! Paul Leary's best performance ever!

great. like everything from the bhs!

great band

I am posting again of a post I posted two years ago, that is 2014. So, I saw BHS play in Seattle in 2010. And ever since that date I dropped out of school, started a religion the became a catholic, failed at that, then started a drug habit with meth in 2012 11/22/2012.. and now I am on probation living in Capitol Hell, where my court approved housing is . Now i SHARE THIS SONG ON FACEBOOK

This is such a deep track .

Unique band!!!

I was at that Gardner Mass show as well. Great show. Scott Wielan from STP kicked some dudes ass in the crowd. Butthole Surfers were awesome though.

ahhh when MTV was Music Television.

Trollin hard!

The Biutthole surfers are a fine and strange band full of Psychadelic goodness

we love you GIBBY

they are tripping so hard it’s fucking beauty

This is so fucking awesome

Find the live version if you can..it's epic.

paul fucking jams bitches! :P

They did do a lot of acid...

This was the first song I learned to play on acoustic guitar.

Take me Break me Tell me a good one And maybe I'll cry Go with me Show me Tell me a good one And maybe I'll die Lately I've been dancing in ceiling fans Into the kitchen, and out the back gate Well I know it sounds strange But It could be the other way Round to the ground where I know I must stay Take me Break me Tell me a good one And maybe I'll cry Go with me Show me Tell me a good one And maybe I'll die Lately I've been dancing in ceiling fans Circled in secrets and playing a game Well I know it sounds strange But It could be the other way Round in a town where they don't know your name

saying these guys aren't deep is like saying the sun isn't bright. it would take me way too long to explain to ignorant people that these guys's songs are generally all deep lyrically and emotionally, so just go with it. kthanksbro. now if you said they were a little bit way too out there for you, that's a completely opposite thing, and i think they are a little bit too out there for the general public. but that doesn't make them bad, it just makes them hard to listen to and follow 4 those peeps

such an underrated band

OH ja Butthole Surfers! Gibby and Paul ,great band!;)

Truthfully, with these guys, it was probably both

10/10

This is clear evidence that drugs really aint so bad after all.

bitching song. thanks for posting

i promise........ numba 8! perfffffeuckt!!!! hillarious! great. fucking. job. revenge story!!!!!!!! fuck bankey!!! lmfao!!!!!!!

mooi man

Paul Leary 's nutz brah .

@MasterSplinterP1 yeah but he's doing hammer ons and pull offs and I can't tell when and how he's doing with them exactly.

I want whatever they're on.

oooops don't stare! hahahaha :)

I want to like but it's likes is 666. But really do like this song & the band.

Sorry just this one. I was lucky enough to download it because when i went looking for it again they had removed it. But there are a couple of BS crazy things around here. Cheers m8

paul leary's hilarious

And people always think that Gibby is the one that brings all the weirdness to the band.

@jesusshootingheroin John Paul Jones even PLAYED on a track on that album!

i saw a yellow goblin in my head with gold viking horns like flavor flav one time on a bad trip. adam sandler had a white robe on and his head turned into a cherry and his robe turned into whipped cream. worst trip of my life. i've had some good ones back in my day check out my skate video. cop pulls out a gun butthole surfers are a good band

The LSD is strong with this one

it would be nice to find a lesson on this...does anyone know where I can find one?

I can tell Gibby and Paul has had enough of this corporate shit.

Penn & Teller

Is it just me or is Gibby being so stoic the funniest part of this? Not sure if I'm seeing shit that isn't there or it was deliberate. Then again, if I have to ask I probably know the answer...

any one else think gibby sort of looks like bianco del toro in fear and loathing

Play the whole song at 2x speed

@jesusshootingheroin Dude you PWNED!

thats so weird, im just getting into that album

gibby on a cereal box called "butt flakes" a 0% nutritious meal until you wipe without mom telling you to do so

Butthole Surfers have a lot of subtle humour in their albums. In my opinion it is no mistake that this song is #2 on the album. A few years earlier all the hair metal bands had to have a power ballad as track 2....bands were forced to do this...and it was pretty crappy. I'm convinced that tune is a satire of the late 80's early 90's power ballad.

Gibbys hands are huge at 2:54

Music is to make ya feel something, if ya don't feel something, move on..bhs move me..I'm musician as well, I appreciate lots of different kinds, and there is talent in creating your own sound and ideas. These guys do just that, there's noone like them. Paul leary can jam btw, besides producing some great records for other artists.

It is kind of funny.

one word: acid.

smells like cinnamon. hahahahaha

"It is kind of funny..."

AHAHAHAHAHHA!

@aeronpanick thank you very much for your answer, your statement makes sense and explains a lot, I can't stand pakistani music even more than noise, I guess I am kind of authentic but classic rock records fan, as you mentioned while it is natural for many people, is it the matter of habit for other? so is it possible to get used to it? cause LSD is too expensive... :D I don't want to sound cocky and lame but I can enjoy myself without drug abuse, at least for now :D

pwned!

tab this for me
