See this post on recs on how to post!

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Fun fact. Les Claypool hates when people say this

This video, especially the yodelling, lives in my brain.

Also, Primus sucks.

Weird, I once heard it described as "What the inside of Ted Cruz's head looks like".

Ahhh Primus. The band I liked as a kid because they were funny and then growing up to realize they are incredible musicians. The albums Claypool did with John Lennon's son a few years ago are pretty good if you haven't listened to them yet.

You should also check out Oysterhead. (Supergroup with Claypool, Trey Anastasio (Phish guitarist) and Stewart Copeland (Police drummer))!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Copeland and Claypool in the same group?! Why didn't I know about this until now?

[โ€“] edgarallenpwn 2 points 1 year ago

I got whiplashing seeing that reply. Definitely need to check it out

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Everything with Copeland needs to be more prominent, IMHO. I always marvel at the just 3 snare hits in Walking on the Moon.

[โ€“] Cold_Brew_Enema 7 points 1 year ago

I fucking love this song.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Primus sucks! <3

[โ€“] ren 6 points 1 year ago

best and most ridiculous song title ever.

love it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Duo De Twang does an acoustic version of this. Les on the bass in any version is awesome...I mean sucks.

Wow I've not thought about this song in probably close to 25 years!

This is a great clip thank you!

Saw them live during the Farewell to Kings tour and they played this song!
