Remember seeing this video in the early 80's on USA Night Flight. That's how I got turned on to The Residents. I have been insane ever since. These guys were WAY ahead of their time. Early video pioneers, early computer media pioneers, musical pioneers whose influence is felt by alternative, punk, new wave, noise rock. The Residents deserve to be in the conversation for one of the most influential bands of all time, and a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I couldn't agree more. I first saw them on "Night Flight" as well, where they completely blew my mind.

BeefheartLynch My dad works with a former resident (this is a different singer, my dad works with the one that sang Constantinople) and he said "We just started in college doing this as a joke, the others got obsessed with the money and I left. We weren't making music just sounds."

"Duck Stab" was my entry point into The Residents when I was about 14. My sister knew a guy that she borrowed this record from. I met a kid in my high school design class that made me a copy of "Wormwood" and "Our Finest Flowers". It still remains some of the most enigmatic music I've ever heard and a band that really influenced my own art. (My channel name here that i've had since i was a junior in high school is even a reference to the Santa Dog album lol)

For those who want to know what the song is about- I can't say, but if you want music that is linear with non-absurd lyrics you may want to listen to a band other than The Residents. On the other hand, if you like the mystery of not knowing and have an appreciation of absurdity and enjoy the challenge of art that makes you think then viva la Residents. Very much like a Lynch film or a story by Kafka.

Crystal Meth. "Skinny was born in a bathtub." Much home made meth is cooked in bathtubs, therefore, that was how he was born, or how 'Skinny' was made. "And he grew so incredibly thin, even the end of an eyedropper sucked him in." (Most) people get crazy thin if they're a meth addict About selling things, a person is likely to go broke, likely lose their job if they are a serious addict, so they are going to sell whatever they can to get a fix.

I have known about them and followed them since high school 1977. They were so mysterious then because no Internet and pre TV videos. You would see the albums or maybe you might read something in the UK musical press. The Residents have to be one of the greatest modern visual/video artists ever. They probably had tiny budgets for everything. But every image that they ever turned out was disturbing, odd, creepy or frightening. They never had an image that was cheezy.

This has got to be about meth use, right? Obviously meth correlates with being skinny, being born from the bathtub means the cooking of low grade speed, and skinny selling anything to anyone to get his fix. And just the zoom in on skinny's eyes, I see a black void, no differing shade of black for his iris. Idk if this is intentional or just limitations in what can be picked up.

I’ve first heard this song back in the 80’s and I just heard “The Days of Pearly Spencer,” a classic song by David McWilliams. While the two songs couldn’t be more different, the videos seem to have a connection, accidental, if not on purpose. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks this, then again I may be the only person to have had the honor of hearing both songs. Either, or the two are brilliant, if not amazing.
