Butthole Surfers - Pepper

[soursmoke247]

i'm not sure what the crime was in this video, but i'm sure eric estrada is the mastermind .

[thomvinson]

Effin Brilliant!

[thepouge1]

Ah, yes...The abstract music movement. This music made perfect sense back when I smoked the doobie.

[cpgadvisory]

this is some form of genius. there's no other explanation for this video i can see

[JKornification]

@MrCannaBeans I agree entirely.

[BobbyfromPepper]

I'm a racist...true story!

[FightingStreets]

I always thought they were saying "They were all in love with Diane" in the chorus.

[igottwopeepees]

hell yea! I used to see this music video every friday/saturday night on MTV, you know back before the "TV guide" channel and cable boxes. SO I had to sit there and watch MTV between 12am and 4am hoping they would show a rerun of beavis and butthead.

[pistolpimp36]

WOOOOOOO!!!!!

[degenerate82]

Fortunately the police in riot gear was only a figment of some mid-90's band's imagination.

[BabbleonSistas]

Ok so let me sum up every music video comment thread on YT.

1) The guys who lived this music, who say music today is dead.

2) The kids who are 14 who says this music will never die.

3) The guy who will say this song sucks just to pick a fight.

4) The guy who will tak 3's bait.

5) Nostalgic drug references

Did I get them all?

[thatguru877]

@BabbleonSistas No you forgot saying RIP about dead artists. I'm so fucking glad I never heard of these guys until now, so I dont have to again.

[skyman214]

@BabbleonSistas you forgot the guys who make smart remarks on people 1 through 5 and the guys who are neutral and make a comment like awsome video or awsome song.

[Ritty1985]

@BabbleonSistas pretty damn close i say lol. preach on!

[keazyfreed]

@BabbleonSistas You forgot douchebags like you, who think they are cool by saying every comment on youtube is the same.

[Aaronjones93]

this was good music in the 90's all i have to say is Fuck the next generation

[ViolaMcviolet]

"Some will die in hot pursuit in fiery 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, coming down the mountain"

This is such a feel good song. I always thought that part would be a great way to end an AA meeting instead of the "Our Father...".

Love this song, love this video.

[clowncarnage]

@ViolaMcviolet spiritually inspirational

[TheGreatJuicebox]

So what was this song about?

[ViolaMcviolet]

@TheGreatJuicebox Life is what you make of it. Love it and those that grab your heart with all you got because you only get one life time and it goes by so quick sometimes you feel like your head is spinning. So don't waste it on hate, stupidity and bs that really, in the grand scheme of things, is a waste of that time. Be conscious, stay in touch with your self or you could very well get hung up on that kind of bs and not even know it.

[ViolaMcviolet]

@ViolaMcviolet Oh sh1t. I'm sorry I messed up with grammar on that post.

[Michpecot123]

Not all of us "kids" are ignorant when it comes to good music :P

[cubsfan1028]

@Michpecot123 I AGREE WITH YOU, MY 8 YEAR LIKES SLIPKNOT, DISTRUBED AND SABATH. HELL MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SAYS BIEBER LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE A "SISSY"

[reese8131]

I'm with Mr. Beans on that one. Damn kids and your justin biebers

[phanahan]

I for one am happy that the Surfers are being "rediscovered". Dont judge them on Electric Larryland. They went in a new direction with it. It has some good songs, The Lord is a Monkey, Jingle of a Dog's Collar. A solid C+. But they've been around since 1984 and have an impressive body of work, I recommend checking it all out. This band is a trip. The album they released when I was in college was Independent Worm Saloon and it's excellent. 4 words. Dog Inside Your Body.

[Dartwith]

remember bombin down the back roads with this blaring on a bright sun drenched day? we had a joint going between the three of us and we pulled over to go swimming... i miss you!

[wasdishowiplay]

Lol I had to scroll forever to find the mr beans comment every one hates. Made me lol 3 lines warranted so much hate. I tip my hat to your troll powers and wag my finger at your ignorance. Have a nice day peoples :D

[alicemonsta]

yes<3

[TheBradcake]

This is one of those songs you get addicted to. You know what I mean, like for a full week or two it's the first song you go to on your ipod or you listen to when you run, or when you do your work. It's just fantastic and simple and honestly, I miss music like this.

[Zycarth]

-No comment-

[dsandwhich00]

How old was Gibby in that Daniel Johnston doc?



[stopYOURdumshyt]

goddamn, really hits home how long it's been since we've had a decent rock station in dallas...wanna go back in time and see ministry, thrill kill, and butthole surfers again. fuck, seems like 1000years ago. where's the time go?

[brierwolf]

@stopYOURdumshyt It isn't just Dallas, corporate clone stations are everywhere now.

[BOTTSRGEDDON]

You never know just how you look through BOTTSRGEDDON eyes.

[murrow54]

eric estrada!!!

[chipdrusano]

What's with the cans of corn? LOL

[geefroy]

this is an amazing song.... anyway- they were supposda be named "butthole sniffers" but the label didnt let them roll with it.

[Missouriman37]

hell yeah! seen these guys live! they fuckin rule

[Pro1337Sn1px0r]

I need to know, how many people clicked this because Butthole Surfers made you laugh or at least chuckle?

[gnorthbird1]

im in the 35 level of inception. i dont know how i got here bt i ll jam out and try to find my way back to the first reason i was on this

[73donjohn]

Awsome! havnt heard these guys in years!

[centerforce2]

This song is timeless. Anyone can enjoy it.

[Tstew94]

i don't know when this came out or anything of the sort, but i definitely think they have the most bad ass band name ever! and the song is freakin rad!

[halfNERD17]

looks like doctor gonzo

[MrTwitch62]

Always LOVED this song, so much truth to it.

[joeylenseigne120]

hahhaahah nice name butthole surfers

[MrJsr666]

I love the images!!!

[matthk3]

theres so much wisdom in this song

[babypiano666]

reminds me of being in the car as a 5 year old

[stw9495]

I just love telling people that I listen to the Butthole Surfers. The ones who've never heard of them give me the craziest looks.

[katrik1988]

I dont mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows..

[Krazyk12200]

Holy crap haven't seen this video in years.

[CaMb960]

his voice in here is very similar to damon albarn's voice

[7Roeth]

Beck Loser, similar vibe

[DejBlankC]

I remember recording this song on a cassett tape HAHAHAHAH WOOOW!

[Huffstuff420]

This has less views than Tripping Daisy? WTF!

[ChrisTheImortal]

i remember sitting next to my radio with a cassette, waiting to record this song lol

[delynrox]

every time i hear this song i get a little hard

[herpsrcol]

Don't say "fuck kids these days" I don't remember when this came out but i'm still just as much a fan and rocker as everyone else here. Ive been a giant fan of this and many other bands-Nirvana, Beck, PearlJam, Sublime Etc...

Everyone of Everyage has the right to listen to whatever they want. Can't we all just Shut up and listen to some fucking awesome music?!?

[sel23les]

Holy crap I havent herd this song in forever!!!

[hockeypanda32]

240p we meet again...

[dudamainmoth]

i remember playing this on my walkman as i rode my bicycle

[DenwarTheoriginal]

One of the best Chorus's EVER!!

[SleepyPandaRave]

I heard this song on the radio just today in the car. Oh my gosh I am so in love with this song!

[pursuit310cs]

im reading a book on anti gravity....its impossible to put down

[y0uG0tpwned1]

Boring.

[mmmmhonda]

@y0uG0tpwned1 how old are you?

[MrCannaBeans]

Fuck you kids these days.

If you don't remember when this came out, then you don't deserve to comment.

[oliverohaver]

@MrCannaBeans fuck you ass hole

[majormojo500]

@MrCannaBeans fuck you too! maybe I'm not old enough to remember when this came out, but what the fuck is wrong with this generation listening to good music and sharing our thoughts on it. fuck you good sir.

[victav]

@MrCannaBeans Right.... Jimi Hendrix died before I was born, does that mean I'm not allowed to comment on his music? It doesn't matter if you remember when this came out or not, you're still an asshole.

[larock1982]

@MrCannaBeans most artistic ability went out the window when the millenium hit, they will never understand brother

[ninjabob52]

@MrCannaBeans 6th grade. is that okay with you? Just TRY playing music loud & keeping it to yourself! its like taking piss out of a pool.

[MrShinyCadilackness]

@MrCannaBeans Dude, "kids these days" don't know who the fuck Butthole Surfers are. Chances are, people who are watching this video are fans of the band. Don't be a dick.

[JDStephens94]

@MrCannaBeans Your a douchebag

[DiscoSheriffIsaac]

@MrCannaBeans You don't deserve to live if that's how you think.

[iKickComputers]

@DiscoSheriffIsaac High five.

[Yuripadees]

@MrCannaBeans Please, try not to be the biggest asshole on YouTube.

[sedftnio]

@MrCannaBeans well what about the Beatles? i am pretty sure you don't remember that. by the way, i'm 14 and FUCK YOU!

[disappear]

@MrCannaBeans Hey, anyone that doesn't want to listen to the gay dancey pop shite, or whatever passes for music now adays on the radio, gets my approval.

Its acctually really sad. I was young enough to remember music like this, and we always thought like "Man, music is gonna sound so fucking random and crazy in like 10 years! Its gonna be amazing!"

[disappear]

And now we live in some 50's, retro age, reimagined by the gayest gay due imagainable, and anyone that doesn't like that crap is now considered "a hipster".

Man, what the fuck happened? I'm fine with homoerotic dance anthems, really I am. But I never imagined that that would be all that was LEFT, along with a plethora of mass marketed America Idol clones.

I miss hearing people sing from the gut. Not pitch perfect renditions of songs collectively written by soulless music conglomerates.

[disappear]

Then again, I suppose anyone that doesn't get their entire music education from the TV show glee, and America Idol reruns, is "trying too hard" apparently.

Anyway, guess I'm gonna go format my hard drive, and pick up that latest "awesome" justin bieber record now.

[Tstew94]

@MrCannaBeans yah suck a dick mrcannabeans! you're wack you're probably old and crusty, i like this song and I'm 17! they daefinitly have the most bad ass band name ever

[seamusdbutter]

@MrCannaBeans fuck you

[cookme1234]

@MrCannaBeans shut the fuck up noob

[pbrskater26]

@MrCannaBeans

Damn, if your not a 90's kid you dont understand!!

[GoldenArc]

@pbrskater26 That's bullshit. The 90's weren't anything special. I would know, I was born in '83. Give up the ageist elitism, it doesn't help anyone.

[mtzxple]

@GoldenArc No your an asshole cause the 90's were awesome.

[GoldenArc]

@mtzxple Quit living in your nostalgic fairy tale world. Get with the times, jerkoff.

[GoldenArc]

@MrCannaBeans I remember when it came out. Am I in the cool kids club now?

[NateSean]

@MrCannaBeans And fuck you and every other attention starved Youtube commenter who thinks he or she is better than everyone who wasn't born before 1999 along with the forty-four people who clicked you up because they don't have the balls or the brains to come up with their own original thoughts.

[gtrtrtrtr]

@NateSean I was going to reply to his comment, but yours sums up my thoughts perfectly

[Merknilash]

@MrCannaBeans If you don't remember when this came out, you don't deserve to exist.

[whitewitchoz]

@MrCannaBeans Sounds fair to me !

[ezernut9mm]

i hate this song almost as much as they do.



[FYCBigJezus]

The lead singer reminds me of Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite

[dontmesswithtexas14]

@FYCBigJezus lol thats pretty funny good one

[DaneBrother]

Underdawg!!!!!

[antiunion14]

Ahh..the 90's when you thought that all things were possible.

[jhoffett]

@antiunion14 There is a place where that dream still lives on...

[ninetimesnice]

love both this song and loser. would have never known they sounded alike if not for the comments.

[colemanpike]

Damn you 240p!

[tinknatas]

thanx man!!!!

[bagelbruin]

Has anyone seen P-Groove cover this song? It's awesome too.

[dreamdextreme]

Who gives a care both are awesome songs :)

[OutyMan]

Butthole Surfers - Pepper - Released 1996

Beck - Loser - Released 1993, Re-released 1994

Sources: Wiki "Pepper (song)" and Wiki "Loser (Beck song)"

Additional Sources: Capitol Records, Bong Load Custom Records, and Geffen Records-subsidiary DGC Records

As to the stealing the sound. Who knows really. We are all influenced by what we see and hear even if we don't acknowledge it. Music is possibly the biggest example of this. Melodies/rhythms get recycled over and over through the centuries.

[johnbjoss]

this style of bholes is pretty tame. check out powerless... another man's sac or hairway to steven for unrestricted mayhem.

[dansnively]

wow, who gives a shit about when becks loser and butthole surfers pepper came out! they are both great songs, cant everyone just enjoy them

[TheHugeweapon]

same time as beck brought out looser that ere of music was alike to there genre

[drywallninja1]

Its not the same exact beat so, no they arent copying beck

[allvariationstaken]

erik estrada!

[DRFTSLT]

these lyrics just make so much sense though!!!!

[Xzapflicks]

for all the stupid people butthole surfers asked beck to use the beat

[moneyquickeasy]

@Xzapflicks There is a difference between stupidity and ignorance. Don't be so rude.

[Tr1cE]

beck is a scientologist and he sucks!!!

[SuperTheguy1234]

@Tr1cE did you just say that? im appalled.

[Tr1cE]

@SuperTheguy1234 truth hurts dudde

[Chapter1Tormented]

The chorus to this song makes me think of my addiction to alcohol and wonder how it affects those around me.

[retro7018]

the music has a distorted 60's/70's feel & even the singer has a 60-ish way about hiim & his delievery.Nothing can touch the video as it seems more like a mini movie, the editing & B&W footage just adds to the weirdness to the scenes.Its a masterpiece & I wish more videos had this sort of feel & vibe. One would think this band would've been much bigger.

[killaweedbro420]

i love 90s retro goodness and all the links you get when you look up songs like this one

[TheSantosConnection]

"Loser" came out in 1994, and this came out in '96...BUT WHO CARES BECK IS A SCIENTOLOGIST

[greencheapsk8]

"images it shows" I thought it said Juicy chode -_-

[mikemurdorf]

anyone see the dislike bar? cause i sure as hell dont haha

[janiej0nes1]

fuck becks song.yer a loser u tard

[Curbstomper12]

WTF kinda name, how'd you even come up with that

[HopeVJustice]

I've only just stumbled upon this band.. and thank **** i did! ^^ <3

[LEONKENNADY948]

One of the few songs i know every word to and its very worth it

[noahsim97]

@wrangler4banger The world may never know.

[sowhiteandnerdyful]

gotta love saints row 3rd

[joshhipp]

this shit will make u freak out....

[rootsgomer]

The first try I scored in rugby leage school football at age 13 I was singing one of the verses to this song!!

[HappyBunny8one2]

Similar to "Cake". Name always cracks me up.

[theevilbat187]

Gibby is so much skinnier in this than the Ministry vid for Jesus Built My Hotrod-

[SuperJR03]

"you don't know how you look through other peoples eyes", best lyric from a song, these guys one-hit wonders from the 90s... If you think you are paranoid, you probably aren't it's natural to feel curiousity... THAT AND THIS SONG IS ALL ABOUT DRUGS and overdosing, repercussions and the inclusion of the police brought into the scenerio, just statin and pointin it out

[rockemsockemrobots77]

The singer has one bad ass molestache.

[aspect43]

Very Good Xuva.

It's a bit browsing the condom rack at the Rexall.

Ps I wonder if Jimi's ghost was hangin around Electric Ladyland during the recording.

[wrangler4banger]

What are they feeding to them from the cans? 2:05

[wrangler4banger]

What are they feeding to them from the cans? 2:05

[Nina9020992]

A childhood anthem. Love having a young mummy! Haha

[moonbeamflare]

Thank you. It's been years since I've seen this.

[crazymrnoname]

this is alot like becks song loser



[Awesomeman37]

@crazymrnoname Dude you are like the millionth person to make that comparison.

[rebelpride320]

@crazymrnoname this band is often confused for being beck

[anothergunner]

@crazymrnoname hmmm maybe beck is a lot like this

[Christmastaflex]

@anothergunner Lose came out before Pepper but who fuckin cares

[Darclipto]

@crazymrnoname except better

[bigmidget117]

@crazymrnoname maybe becks song is a lot like butthole surfers

[DrugdPdestrian]

@crazymrnoname thats exactly what i thought when i came across this on saints row 3

[banjobilly5]

@crazymrnoname this was before beck

[cottageorgan]

@banjobilly5 Loser was released in 1993 as a single, then on Mellow Gold a year later, this was released in 1996 off the back of Electriclarryland...They're both great, so who really gives a fuck? I don't!

[rhetwylie]

@crazymrnoname Your face?

[DoogesR1]

@crazymrnoname huh?

[34LOLWTF]

@crazymrnoname I thought the same thing when i heard it, i was like is this beck?

[floppy0909]

@crazymrnoname

Seriously? Check the dates ... sigh

[ctewallwicked]

@crazymrnoname besides it came out before becks loser

[Wesley683]

@ctewallwicked wait, beck's loser came out in 1993, this came out in 1996

[CorazonDeLeon92]

@crazymrnoname It's the other way around, this song is a bit older.

[ThePimperor]

@crazymrnoname the Buttholes were earlier than Beck

[motopitchman]

@crazymrnoname i have both songs :)

[cpowell786]

@crazymrnoname But this came way earlier.

[ChomskyDisciple]

@cpowell786 Actually, Pepper is from Butthole Surfer's 1996 album Electriclarryland. Beck's Loser is from his 1994 album Mellow Gold, released as a single in 1993. Beck did his song first. :P

[tinknatas]

who came first beck or butthole surfers bro!i think beck loser sounds like this!!!!

[dominickjohn3]

@crazymrnoname Didn't he sample the drum beat from this on "Soul Suckin' Jerk" off Mellow Gold?

[bamsonchargeit]

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes.

[Kaitlyn102798]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[JgWerd]

I was in 4th grade when this song came out, and I absolutely loved it.
