  • @TheShieldsMD ALIENS

  • Without a doubt, the greatest WTF video from one of the greatest WTF bands.

  • I'm in that weird part of Youtube again.

  • I remember in the beginning of 2000 when MTV2 was airing supposedly every video they had, one video that I was looking foreward to seeing the most was a clip from a Swiss group called Yello. The song was called "The evening's Young". When it finally got to that video, the right credits were shown, but THIS was the video that was shown instead. Now, I LOVE this video, but why couldn't they have fucked up with a different one instead?

  • Just Weasome!

  • And I thought the Residents were creepy enough...

  • @DrFrohman You can thank the Residents for this. They were one of the Ralph imprints. It's like they're the next generation of the Residents - more Residents than the Residents.

  • copious amounts of LSD were involved in the making of this video/song

  • Sheer genius. Incredibly disturbing. The Residents are gods.

  • Nope. No more internet.

  • LOVE IT

  • Moira Scar

  • why the fuck would u put a kid through all that.....

  • what is evil, conceptually?

  • Traumante :P

  • peado much?

  • that was fucked up

  • 42 people here fear boobs

  • fucking disturbing, only pedophiles will like this ;)

  • @NovSpice damn i am like the greatest pedo bear in the entire life

  • Somehow mental illness comes to mind...

  • wow very out there ya think.

  • Every time one of you dislikes this video or writes a scathing, unintelligible comment about it, you only add to its cool points. This was meant to upset "people like you".

  • great music.. if you don't like it you are a turd

  • The greatest music video of all time. Deeply unsettling.

  • When this little kid is older, he's going to see this video and be like "What the fuck was a I a part of?!?!"

  • @theyshallhavemusic That kid is probably older than you now.. This is from 1980.

  • too fucking  weird'

    !

  • Some folks just don't get it. I love these guys and have since I first heard them in the 80's, and I'm not a druggy or anything like that. I just really dig strange and discordant music.

  • fucking trash

  • nailed it.. you guys were too ahead of your time... thanks alot for posting

  • what the fuck is this?.....a few words come to mind while watching this

    .child abuse

    .sick

    .fucked up

    .plain dam weird

  • Did the Residents make the film for these Renaldo & the Loaf songs, or was it all collaborative??

  • is this one of the videos like "the ring", you watch and and you 'l die after a week (atleast if you dont already die watching this video :/)

  • It's not like I planned on sleeping tonight anyways.

  • Comment removed

  • Nobody's stopping you ....

    Genius vid BTW , a long time fave.

  • Only 35 dislikes? I'm going to be the first person with the cohonas big enough to say it's absolute shite, and listening to it makes me want to eat myself.

  • @99macca

    Im with you...this is absolute shit. A total waste of acetate it was recorded on.

    But then most of their fans are rabid drug addicts

  • @7Beyonder It's so horrible, grates on me so much

  • Shit on my nuts and call me Susie what the fuck was that?

  • dude this shit fucked with my mind yesterday

  • This must be the most ''makes no sence'' video i've EVER seen!

  • this seems to border on child abuse

  • @workinprogressmusic

    Ever heard stories in you childhood like, the boogey man or the gypsies will come for you if you dont finish you dinner?

  • what the duck did i just watch??

  • After watching this, I got an urge to watch Beetlejuice.

    I honestly have no clue why... o-o

  • well the apocolypse has a theme song

  • WTF? Weird!

  • outstanding!!

  • @MachinegunApe are you gay

  • How are the waves?

    How are the waves?

    Calling to you?

    Calling to you?

    How are the waves?

    How are the waves?

  • @guttersnype00 Ooooooh, look at the earth!

  • When I was a kid, and I got delirious with the flu, my hallucinations were even creepier than this. I thank those experiences for my artistic tastes and the way my mind works even now.

  • @zerobeat18 i thought i was the only one..

    this comment makes me happy :)

  • hahahahahahaha wtf?! xD

  • I saw this on "Night Flight" in the middle of the night when I was a kid. It was one of the darkest, insane things I had ever seen to do w/ a band. Nothing like Night Flight could ever get on the air today, it was a show by & for people up in the middle of the night. The Residents "Hello Skinny" video was on too & made me seek out these records.

  • @criops Night Fliht was where I first saw "The Third Reich and Roll." When I was fifteen I would stay up all night and watch it, wondering how there could be so much strange and wonderful stuff in the world. Great, if strange and lonely memories.

  • Asian bridals here **busizz4me.info**

  • wow i dont even have to be stoned to watch this and puke

    awesome shit

  • O _ O

    [...]

  • I' m SO glad I found this! I used to watch it on "Night Flight," when I was 14! (It just might play a role, however small, in how screwed up I am!) I wonder if THIS is what David Lynch was referring to when, in an early (Pilot?) episode of "Twin Peaks" one of the characters says "There's a fish in the percolator." Oh, guess not, or he would've said "in the blender!"

  • What the fucking fuck???

  • oh and for those wondering what the story is behind this video, go to wikipedia / Renaldo_and_the_Loaf

    Director Graham Whifler produced a short film in 1980, Songs for Swinging Larvae, from the album of the same name. The film concerns a kidnapped child and raises questions of home and human relationship. The film has since been banned from television and film festivals due to its controversial nature.

  • Why can't I stop watching this?! XD

  • I had a tape from the Gwyned music collective :-) brilliant

  • isn't this the residents cover of renaldo and the loaf's song?

  • @slisbtor4ok no that's the original version

  • there are no words.

  • Continuation.....The creepy dad guy wants the kid to have fun but in a fucked up fashion. He then gets to intimate. So the kid backs away. He doesnt want the kid to go back to the communist so he smothers him. While they are sleeping, the kid has a dream that some cat yak thing is telling him to run away because both of the homes are fucked... but in dreams you don't actually hear what you think you do. You just remember it that way.Eventually the kid gets trapped and the mom and dad morf. END

  • @vonzippa12 I like this theory.

  • I think I might be able to explain what is going on. The mom is a communist. The hippy guy is a hippy. They used to be married but they got divorced because they couldnt settle there differences. The mom tries to show a very strict and makes the kid do what she wants him to do. (I can't quite explain the blood shit. it probably represents the fact that there is no diversity in anything, but tries to make it look creepy. To be continued above!

  • @vonzippa12 hOW ABOUT NO, yOU nigger.

  • All my questions have just been answered...

  • I think this is the sequel to Eraserhead!

  • @Bram25 haha I totally agree!

  • Aw fuck, who gave Tom Green a record deal? you'd think people would have learnt after the Bum Bum Song...

  • Allow me to explain. This is what happens when 2 absolutely nutty guys from England who call themselves Renaldo and the Loaf get a hold of the Acid that those wacky Residents were on.

  • lolwat

  • Are ya going to the conga Joe? are ya going to the conga Joe? are ya going to the conga Joe? :-) Ahh great. Well done Steve and Brian - a timeless classic.

  • It's plainly about divorced young parents. I should know. I have a mansion and a yacht.

  • I... I got nothing. :|

  • the goats or cat is my favorite

  • @tinynoah21

    thought it was some kind of new cow species

  • I can not like or dislike this video because damn . . . I I just don't know about anything anymore

  • I need some acid for this video...

  • @Luv8sU213 i think you would just peel your fucking face off.

  • Awesome, thanks for posting. To those who don't, "get it", watch it again, and again. Some things need to be absorbed to be understood, there's nothing wrong with you if you don't understand this, or anything. Yes, it's easy to ask, but you'll enjoy all art more when you find YOUR understanding, the way it relates to YOU. I am not suggesting it has different meanings, it just hits us each differently depending on our experiences. Art that can be interpreted to such extremes is just sloppy, bad

  • I really like this :D it's so damn creepy, bizzare, and yet the message is pretty nicely shown.

  • what is this i dont even

  • This was the most awesome thing I've seen in a long while.

  • I... just...

    dear god what

  • the shit?

  • very strange - I like that! =)

  • Excellent posting! I used to think they WERE the Residents, a kind of side project. I mean, who could be strange enough to get pressed by Ralph Records? Cool also to see so many people into them. Long live the Loaf!

  • Im wondering if that video has some really deep meaning, or is just random as shit. Sad thing is, nobody beside they will ever know.

  • I remember I first saw this many, many years ago on a Resident's DVD I believe. I will never forget that puppet with the busted jaw or whatever. In fact that beast will probably flash before my eyes when I die...if I'm so lucky.

  • Are children now just swinging larvae? A miniature version of a worker, never to see interaction of any sort from adult members of the hive? Because of largely fantastical societal fears and groundless mores? Do I get it now? Am I way smarter than the kids growing up now because I was allowed access to adult weirdness as a kid?

  • @ericberner

    Nicely put Sir. 

  • @ericberner No, yes, maybe, probably and definitely.

  • That was the most disturbing thing i have ever seen. My mind is raped.

  • this never made MTV?? BASTARDS!!

  • 666

  • @blackfkgmetal Ewwww, you know in *most* other religions that's actually the number of God? But then again this song is divine.

  • That is the weirdest video I have ever seen. WTF?! (in a good way!) :)

  • That is the weirdest video I have ever seen. WTF?! (in a good way!)

  • Is it just me, or is the video for "It's The Beat" by Simian Mobile Disco inspired by the kitchen segment of this? This video horrifies me a little, makes me laugh me a little, and amuses me quite a bit.

  • insane. that is like straight up, like, 9 different types of Crazy. Shit.

  • OMG that monster thing frightened me

  • wow, I still have this on an lp..

  • It's pretty simple. The strangeness of the video is mostly because the story is told largely from the child's point of view. A little bit of the mystery of adult life. Why does mom spend so much time pouring liquids into different containers? Why do they brush my hair when it hurts me? How does a blender work?

    Also, that puppet is the creepiest thing I have ever seen. Holy crap.

  • @archaist very nice. (Told from a kids' point of view.) I never thought of that before, but you are certainly right. Very insightful.

  • wow. These people make me feel normal.

  • Well, there's 5:45 I'm never getting back.

  • the kid was probably so scared the whole time.

  • I always thought this was a pretty obvious metaphor for divorce, though that doesn't make it any less fantastic. this video perfectly sums up what it was like to be a kid, if you ask me - weirdly wonderful and fucking terrifying at the same time. laughing my arse off at all the knee-jerk reactionary comments made by the same kind of people who attacked a paulsgrove child doctor because they didn't know the difference between paedophile and paedetrician.

  • this video makes crave h

  • This song owns

  • This is brillient insanity.

    Renaldo and The Loaf are amazing.

  • WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH?!

  • @froozh

    As a Eric Cartman would say, and I quote:

    "They just warped my fragile little mind!"

  • WhatTheFuck?

  • @eli2620 FUCK YOU ASSHOLE THIS SHIT IS THE INSPIRATION FOR MY MUSIC

  • why the hell do you have to be such a god damn normal asshole? do you have an imagination?

    or are you one of those poor bastards who thinks that the vomit puked out on in the mainstream is art? people like you make me ashamed to be human. get bent!

  • all I can say is suction cup my head

  • I watch this daily.

  • its like they made videos of ym dreams..

  • Ok first of all, just because it's weird doesn't make it art. ANYTHING creative is art (yes that includes Lily Allen), it's up to you to decide whether you like it or not.

    Secondly, great video! I'll try and reference it in my next assignment!

  • what normal ?

  • Comment removed

  • Ooooo Look at the Earth...

    I love that.

    Pure FUCKIN ART !

  • what the fuck....? i dont even...dude, what just happened?! video is weird o.o

  • Nightmare fuel deluxe.

  • Child abuse?

  • can someone please seriously tell me how this is interesting or normal in your world?

  • What?

    I am sorry to say that we exist in the same world my friend.....

    Although i would not call it normal

    but this is genius! Art for pure fucking arts sake!

  • Since when does something have to be normal to be interesting? To me, usually the opposite is true.

  • Can anyone tell me what this actual song is called? Apparently "Songs For Swinging Larvae" is the album title, but I can't find what this song is called!

  • This is an edit of the entire album.

  • thanks! so is it even possible to get an audio file of this?

  • You should be able to find it via torrent sites. The video is on the Residents Icky Flix DVD.

  • oh ok. thanks!

  • this is the best video i have seen in my life. i want to be a resident when one dies please so these things can go on forever.

  • that is the best idea i've heard in a long time.

  • Me derrito de derecha a izquierda , de arriba abajo, de un lado a otro, de la esquina al centro AUXILIOOOOOOOOO

  • This is the lirick of the intro rare and quick voices.

    English

    but how in the name did you get these facts?

    why, of course, i know you are right on both points

    if i remember, you made enquiries

    in my atmosphere, gazing at the laid

    i could hardly keep from smiling at you

    i have hear you say, there are no data

    i sprang from my chair,i was annoyed since i sat opposite you all the morning.

  • is a completely different song.....

  • ...and the child in this video grew up to be a member of parliment.

    Great Video, they don't make them like this these days....

  • You're all wrong.

    If Hal Roach, the creator of the LIttle Rascals and Our Gang comedies, had access to color film stock and had dropped acid, it might look like this. Even down to the kid in the little sailor suit.

    I wish Cotton was a monkey.

  • Comment removed

  • Looks to me like some sort of surrealist commentary on parent-child relationships. I'm most likely wrong though.

  • i think you're about as right as anyone can get. then again, who the fuck knows?

  • well duh

    ...

    yeah, it must be

    I mean... what else?

  • blorp blorp blorp blorp blorp schlorp

  • this video has warped my fragile little mind

  • Best video ever.

  • between son and mother is always a huge gap and hes scared and angry.

  • oh god I love this

  • well its orignial

  • Really artistic, but some ppl have problems, we have traumatizated minds who cant understand da video n music

  • Wtf?!! Is this a song? The video's twisted and disturbing!

  • I think I can explain... The mom was a which and she was fattening up the kid to eat him to explain all of the blood. Then Indian guy says no!! and Kidnaps him, then takes him to his little ware house and explains that processed food is bad. Then he decides to summon a Yak for some reason which posses the witch then turns her into a man. Then he's all like, "You suck little kid! You made me a man with boobs!" And so he tried to kill him and super kid flies away

  • Makes sense to me. XD nice

  • @ThePencilgrip I love you

  • the words...what the fuck!?

  • lol

  • this is what happens when you put bob saget in a band with hippies

  • Ok, I found the soundtrack a few weeks ago and fell in love with it. But, this video.. It was banned in the UK? Wow, I guess they need to get some more cameras installed to figure out what went wrong with the censors. This thing is more tame than an old Madonna video.
