The most pleasurable way of listening to this is to open it in ten different tabs at different intervals.

One of the co-founders of The Residents has just passed away...Hardy Fox RIP. October 30 2018. It was a good run Hardy. You will be remembered forever. Wherever music 🎵 is appreciated for what it is. A huge part of my youth just died. Thanx for the memories, and for all that wonderful weirdness!!

I've read this was screened with Eraserhead at midnight screenings in the late 70s. What a combination!

This is how most adults in the seventies used to picture their kids' favourite music.

Evergreen State College 1979, I think? I was an early fan of punk rock. I walked into one of the lecture halls for "free movies". They played this short by The Residents, the promo for The Cramps "Human Fly" and probably something by Devo. It scrambled my brain permanently. I wasn't the same person when I left.

This has been in the darkest recesses of my mind for like 10+ years wtf, can’t believe I found it again after all this time

Man I love The Beatles

Usually I would want what they've been smoking but when it comes to the residents I really don't

I can't believe the residents have been active for 45 years.

One the greatest music videos ever - classic and timeless.

From what I've heard, the reason that the "Paperheads" keep walking into frame was due to the fact that not only were they performing in front of the camera, they were working it, as well.

I saw the Residents at a few underground places in Berkeley, CA, about 1974. I used to hang around Rather Ripped Records waiting for the new Imports to come in. THE RESIDENTS would play their parties, usually behind cheesecloth. Never knew who they were, (obviously!), but one, Snakefinger, split off after they disbanded, and cut a 45, ep, whatever. I still have, it, autographed - how much can I pay someone to take it off my hands, lol?

Welp this proves I'm not doing enough drugs

This is my first Residents experience. Creepy as Hell. I love it. Instant fan.

This is one of the best pieces of art i have ever seen.

1:16 * Got to know how to pony Maroney Mashed potato, do the alligator Put your hand on your hips now Let your backbone slip now Now do the Watusi Like my little Lucy (*few lines from "Hanky Panky" by Tommy James and the Shondelles)

I always wondered what would happen if you crossed Eraserhead with American Bandstand.

I'm going to wear this to work.

48 years later and still ahead of it’s time. I love these guys.

This is enough to destroy anyone's mind in 5 minutes!

I think this band will go far. They've got that certain something that sets them apart from the more run-of-the-mill girl groups, that's what I do think.

My fondest childhood musical memories have been irreversibly altered forever. And that's GOOD!!!

Saw these guys with Devo back in 1976 and they just blew me away, love this like crazy!!

What a timeless classic

For those who don’t know, this song is actually called “Land Of A Thousand Dances” and it’s originally from the 1960s. This version is from the ‘70s.

I want to know what they were like as children.

I don't even know if this was intentional or whether this is just something that I'm seeing in this video but The Residents seem to be the only rock & roll (?) band that were able to successfully incorporate authentic, legitimate Dada/Surrealist imagery into their work - music & video. This video just reminds me of weird ass Alfred Jarry/Ubu Roy kinda shit. It's disturbing & intriguing in equal measure. Once you see it you can't get it out of your head.

Is it weird that my brain no longer registers these kind of things as weird, like at all?

David Lynch's favourite band?

Idols! Simply clever and smart musicians! Greetings from Italy

I WATCH THIS EVERYDAY.

It’s crazy to think that these guys were originally a hippie group from Louisiana

saw this on a monitor at duffys bar in minneapolis before a band called echo and the bunnymen were on stage. husker du and the replacements played there frequently.

The middle part was an “FBI, open up!” joke before it was cool.

And now we present... THE PYRAMID HEAD CANTINA BAND!!!

The pre-eyeball stuff was the most inventive!!!

Today's youth: Billie Eilish is so weird and creative. Me:

There is no description worthy of what this may or may not be. Its art for its sake pure and unapologetic I love it whatever it is

The beatles after the lobotomy

Better than the Beatles

I wake up with this in my head all the time.

2008 my arse! I remember seeing this in the mid 1970s on "The Old Grey Whistle Test" About 1977.

So an interview from Euronymous of Mayhem brought me here, because he listed this as a band he liked. I am...surprised and a little confused.

Devo is normal

I really love the residents

I have dreams at night when I'm sleeping that are just as atmospheric and strange feeling as Residents' videos. It's unsettling and engrossing all at the same time.

This is my fave Residents' video. True Art.

God bless the residents. Let them sweep the crap of sheeran and bieber away before them. The saviours we need so much now!!

When they are just banging on the drums in the beginning, is terrifying, imagine your sitting in the corner of the room, in the dark, where they can't see you and all of a sudden they stop, just sit there and then turn and look at you.

Aah, ....v nice to find this! Saw 'Vileness Fats' last in some little independent cinema in West Berlin, in the 80's...

You know, with Hitler, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don't care for him.

Dadaism

Dancing to the groove!

"The Beatles like this"

Somewhere about 1980, I was in Memphis, at this funky punk club called Antenna. They played videos from Rock America (MTV was not yet born) I saw this … it made an impression …. And how!

it's really strange, but i like this!!!!

i've got the whole album and although i loved it i found it hard to listen to (not because of the strange noises) because i didn't know what half of the songs were that they were covering. did anyone else have that kind of problem?

i watch this everyday.

Me: mom can we see KKK? Mom: we have KKK at home KKK at home:

Wonderful if also a little disturbing! Saw this on The Old Grey Whistle Test many many years ago as a teenager. Impressive then impressive now. Class

if you say they were crazy, then you can say picasso was crazy, or any other great artist who found a new way of making art. they're not crazy, this avant-garde.

The back of my apartment abutted the back of El Ralpho Studios.

The "Na na na" part sounds familiar to the beginning of Here Comes the Hotstepper

Siempre regreso a ver a los residents cuando no encuentro mucha inspiración y ellos me devuelven una sonrisa.

I love easy listening music.

I feel like I'm watching some particularly bizarre cognitohazard SCP...

yo sabía que estos muchachos SON buenos... gracias por compartir!!-

The architects of avant garde underground performance art!

It is actually on display with a Devo video at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.

@ronnysoeberg I know this is after forever but... The reason the newspaper heads look like they do is because that was the easiest way they could do a newspaper hat. It wasn't meant to represent the KKK. Also, the steaks, set and much else were props from the movie they were making at the time, "Vileness Fats". They just threw everything in there. The songs, btw, are "Land of 1000 Dances", "Wipe Out" and "Telstar", which are all part of "Swastikas on Parade", the first side of the album.

Wow! And these guys are from Shreveport, Louisiana? Hicks go to San Francisco in the late 60's, freak out on acid, and look what happens.

I feel like David Lynch was involved with this. Wow.

Im one of the biggest fans of The Beatles .. I dont know why I really like this song

The Residents forever!!!

I have this video on icky flix dvd.

What's the meaning of uploading this as just "Third Reich"? What happened to the "...'N' Roll"? Without the full title it's meaningless. Please do The Residents the honour of titling their work correctly, as the way it is now is very disrespectful.

This is where I wanted to be... This is where I am..... This is where I want to stay.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is considered the first ever music video, yes?

another masterpice!

I hope this song plays as the last human on Earth dies from Covid.

Brilliant: Thank You for Uploading.

This scared the crap out of me when I first saw it. Then I became a fan. My favorite albums are Third Reich & Roll, Duck Stab/Buster & Glen, Not Available, and Commercial Album.

I don't like this world but I admire their ability to access it.

And of course,man...that's an awful lot of newspapers they used in that. lol!

I think this played on midnight sessions with Eraserhead at some cinemas in the late 70s

Holy hell. I literally can't feel my legs.

A Thousand Thanks!

...you'll never hear surf music again...

I feel like The Residents' video style has a kindred spirit with Terry Gilliam.

Acojonante, unos genios locos!!!

This is a fucking fever dream and i love it

Forgot about this song

Oh and just so you know Thecuregalore94 Realise and realize are different spellings of the same word, and both are used to varying degrees throughout the English-speaking world. Realize is the preferred spelling in American and Canadian English, and realise is preferred outside North America. The spelling distinction extends to all derivatives of the verb, including realised/realized, realising/realizing, and realisation/realization.

FUCK REICH !!!

i'm sure someone else has said it... but the little preamble bit of this video always makes me think of eraserhead

Homer is a genius!

what a scream x

This has "David Lynch" screaming all over it.

Time flies

I'm back over 1 year later. What the fuck IS this song? I love it, but they NEVER play it live, and it's NOWHERE on their site and it's listed NOWHERE as one of their singles. What the fuck?
