The Butthole Surfers
 

Useless trivia..

The lead singer of The Butthole Surfers is the son of Mr Peppermint.. :2 cents:

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, playing a game
Well I know it sounds strange but it could be the other way
Round to a town where they don't know your name
Together....for a while....ain't no good

Kuntz, Kuntz, Kuntz....KUUUUNNTZZZZ

"I smoke Elvis Presley's toenails, when I wanna get high!"

sorry, Mr Peppermint seems to be a N. Texas thing...

ok i missed something

http://www.mp3.com/butthole-surfers/...214/songs.html

try
Dracula From Houston
and
Shame of Life
for starters

and "Pepper" is a good one too.

Agreed, one of my fave's of theirs.

I think they would have gotten a lot more air play if they had a different name for the group.

That's right...and Gibby's dog is named Mr. Cigar.

Pepper (from Electric Larryland):

Marky got with Sharon
Sharon got Shareese
She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar
Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doin' it in Texas
Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas, he was dancin' with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain.

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how to look through other people's eyes.

Some will die in hot pursuit in firey auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche comin' down the mountain.

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes.

Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever present football-player rapist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doin' it in Texas
Holly caught a bullet, but it only hit his leg
Well, it should have been a better shot and got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinkin' from a fountain
That was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes.

My 1st taste of them was "Lady Sniff" in the mid 80's

great song!

Damn! Just had a Lollapalooza flash-back.

they are a pretty fucking weird band

crazy music

They were good back in the day. :2 cents:

You are correct, sir.

I was on the Associated Students Program Board at SJSU (San Jose State University) in the 80's when we booked the fledgling Butthole Surfers to play the Student Union Ballroom.

Before the band took the stage, one of the band members took it upon himself to smash his head into a huge oil painting (mural) in the Student Union, thereby denting it and causing thousands of dollars in damages.

The A.S. Board paid the big bucks for the restoration of the artwork, and the band was not invited back...I still dig their music. :1orglaugh
