Yes. It's based off it. This song was part of the bonus disc for said album. Said disc was comprised of a combination of session recordings from the album, including stuff that made it to the final product.

any one liking residents music might want to check out ART OF NOISE. They were more commercial but you can tell where their influence came from in a heart beat.
Because that's what the surreallists do: they joke of what we call "reality", bringing us into another experience of "reality". And letting us see that the thing we call our "reality" is just one way of perception, NOT REALITY itself.

muy mal ... BAD VIDEO...!!! esto es musica para el control mental .. otra banda que trabaja para los Illuminatis... muy notorio no? la parte donde el ojo va deborar un cebro con tenedor y cuchillo,,, y en todos hacer refrencias de la elite.
Could? Come on, get in sync with the world my beloved disturbed chap. They have been killing normality and all that associates with regular since 72. I`ll gladly offer some of my mental health to be slaughtered in the name of good fucking times next monday april 4th... and Its gonna be my first time too, ohhh, by tuesday im not a residents virgem no more, Im excitedd
Really i do like the residents!!! People should actually take a brief moment of their time ,to listen to the beat (N. Tesla) and watch the stage performance. America is so geared on sugar coated reality bs, that they don't know talent when they see it!
wow!this music is good but I am alone at home sitting at my computer and I am quite scared. it´s like hell live,but the hell from childisch imaginings.
@TheSeekingSerenity Yup. Eventually it was returned, but they ran with the change. I suppose the fact that Homer's essentially the front man anyway made it less crucial-- and on the last tours, they haven't used the eyeballs at all.
@Hudzan Tool is great, and definitely much more musically talented than The Residents, but in terms of message/meaning, The Residents kick Tool's asses. Tool makes "weird" music, is visually driven, and has a "real" message, just as The Residents did, but The Residents took it further than Tool ever has. And plus, they influenced Primus.
@yourmom416 What I'm trying to say is: when you hear a Tool song on the radio, you think "Oh, this is cool" and turn it up and jam. When you hear a Residents song on the radio, you think "What in the name of God is this?" and turn it off. Meaning that The Residents accomplished their goal, whereas Tool, despite being more talented than The Residents, have not; so The Residents win this one. IMHO.
@OddBank Yes, I like Tool. I also like The Residents. I wasn't comparing them, really, I was just replying to the person who said that Tool kicks The Residents' asses, because they don't. The Residents are much better than Tool will ever be, even though Tool has more musical talent. That's all I was saying.
And also, I apologise for the double posting of my comments; I'm not sure why that happened.
definitely? you dont think much before spouting do you. how would you know what killers think? "get high"? on what? it only takes reading halfway through your post to get the impression that you are ignorant and opinionated.
Sorry, that honor is reserved for anyone who listens to this crap and gets enjoyment out of it. I said "get high" because there is clearly no other way to have any appreciation for this horrendous music. And opinionated? Everyone has their opinions on what music is, so I guess that you're opinionated for liking this music? Seriously. I'm very open minded when it comes to music and listen to just about anything, but theres no hooks, catchiness, or real talent involved in making this.
@MJSpiderman7116 Hey, guess what, this isn't music for people who like to turn their brains off and hum along to generic Justin Timberlake bullshit. I'll grant that most of their work isn't enjoyable as music in the conventional sense, but in terms of storytelling and experimentation, it's excellent.
I will give them credit for that I guess, they definately took risks and tried something new with this instead. Definately much more bold than alot of modern artists (Justin Timberlake is BS, that feeling is mutual). I just don't think boldness makes up for it though. It just sounds creepy, and its not something I can listen to without just feeling.. disturbed. Maybe that's what they were going for, but it's just not for me. Its defiantely memorable, just not in the way that I'd like it to be.
@MJSpiderman7116 actually i think he was attacking your ridiculous statements
music doesn't need hooks and it doesn't need to be "catchy," nobody ever said music had to closely follow your narrow and closeminded assertions of what it should be. sometimes music refuses to follow the same dull, average structure that other musicians are compelled to follow. you're the kind of person that tries to cage any kind of experimentation and outsider thinking. p.s., fuck drugs.
Lol closeminded, I'm sorry but I'll listen to just about anything. I have plenty of bands on my iPod that don't follow the typical 'dull average' structure of mainstream stuff. Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree in particular are examples of bands that aren't average in their writing and execution, and they're both immensely more talented than this band.
@MJSpiderman7116 are you really that proud to be a prog-rock sheep? there's no getting around the fact that they still follow the exact same contemporary structure and guessable melodies and breaks
just because it's literally not filler-chorus-filler-chorus doesn't change this
it still just sounds like saturated 90s rock
why do people list feeling uncomfortable from listening to the residents as a bad thing? it's art, art is supposed to get under your skin sometimes
Actually Dream Theater/Porcupine Tree do have a number of songs that don't quite follow the standard format, although they do have their songs that are like that. The thing for me is.. The Residents are definately a unique band, and maybe the unsettling factor does prove that they are artistic. But I just cant, well, enjoy music that creeps me out. Unique and daring? Yeah. But its not something I can listen to and enjoy because of its sound. Sorry if people dont understand, but thats how i feel.
If I might make a point. I can't help but notice that you're trying to pull a kind of "I'm a reasonable guy, I just don't like it" schtick.
Yet in your previous comments, you implied that people who like the Residents are retarded. Residents fans are obviously going to be upset about that sort of thing so are you really surprised? I get what your saying but I don't really think its worth commenting about. I enjoy the Residents. Quite with the reverse snobbery.
look at how much of existence we ignore.that's why the dark or what we call evil stuff builds up then comes out.We must all express our true selves and work to attain goodness.Ignoring our whole only splits us (schizophrenia). JuNg clered up a lotta this almost 100 yars ago but americans continue eating disease causing food making walmart families richer .We rsuch a stupid wealthy nation!And now where inform is so easily accesible who will take the blame for our ignorance we cant blame i
@nakedfunk Yeah!!!I love the feel of the past as well as the present state of mind, with all of their stuff, almost like the bee men? Echo? Echo? Echo? and the bunnymen?
So all of you(the ones which ask)are beetween 17 and 20 years old.......It´s never too late for Residents and by the way I´m 41 and I start listen Residents also with 17....saw them 3 times live.......2 times on acid!!!!!!!
I wanted to wait awhile before I responded to you. I do believe I'm officially hooked on The Residents, and I have absolutely no intention of quitting.
@TheMercilessEye: Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind you teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm!
The 4 second micro-films that make up this video were made long before the cookie monster / al joelson CARGIN MAH LAZER meme. They never fail to be ahead of their time.
I don't know what/why etc makes some people consider that the slightest bit of abstraction makes that thing a drugs thang. They must be very conventionally minded folk. Betcha William Blake ne'er dropped a tab of acid. And dear old Pablo Piccasso - simply didn't do drugs. And when he saw balls he saw cubes. You see some people, found drugs produced spurious thought
I didn't come across them until about 5 years ago, but it was still love at first listen. I've got a wonderful poster from the band in my son's nursery.
I worked for a record importer in the 70's and about 1977 I came across "Meet the Residents' in the warehouse. We were allowed to play records and I liked what I heard and have been a fan since. They're still around and putting things out. It's interesting that they've been around since the late 60's.
actually there are easier to swallow songs, such as half of the second half of the mole trilogy, "the tunes of two cities". Time to bust out the old vinyl, that was a good one.
Stoned out of my head right now. Man I should look up trippy shit more often, this is giving me all sorts of fucked up senses. Wait am I making sense?
Dude if you watching this sober then you one fucked up person. Bad publicity? Its the fucking internet who gives a shit. Don't be a bitch, its only weed.
I won't disagree with you... I am indeed one fucked up person. I listen Sun O))) to make myself feel better and read pessimistic philosophy, such as Zapffe, when life gets me down. Oh, and The Residents casual listening to me.
gentlemen, congrats. with our combined efforts we have have mades drugs completely obsolete through use of.... the internet!

It is never too late. But be warned - once you get hooked you will find it hard to break the habit.

I wanted to wait awhile before I responded to you. I do believe I'm officially hooked on The Residents, and I have absolutely no intention of quitting.

One of the 4-second-films you left out was "dogshit sushi". Whenever I'm playing breakout on my blackberry, the bricks all look like those "sushis"

The 4 second micro-films that make up this video were made long before the cookie monster / al joelson CARGIN MAH LAZER meme. They never fail to be ahead of their time.

Now I know why it sounds so "conventional" for a Residents piece...it reminds me a lot of the music from "the Mother's House" in Vileness Fats...

I don't know what/why etc makes some people consider that the slightest bit of abstraction makes that thing a drugs thang. They must be very conventionally minded folk. Betcha William Blake ne'er dropped a tab of acid. And dear old Pablo Piccasso - simply didn't do drugs. And when he saw balls he saw cubes. You see some people, found drugs produced spurious thought

The crazy video aside, musically, this is just about as accessible as the Residents get, I think...
Danimal14222 2 years ago
I think you're right. They were always out there. You either like them or don't. I've liked them since I discovered them in the late 70's.

I didn't come across them until about 5 years ago, but it was still love at first listen. I've got a wonderful poster from the band in my son's nursery.

I worked for a record importer in the 70's and about 1977 I came across "Meet the Residents' in the warehouse. We were allowed to play records and I liked what I heard and have been a fan since. They're still around and putting things out. It's interesting that they've been around since the late 60's.

actually there are easier to swallow songs, such as half of the second half of the mole trilogy, "the tunes of two cities". Time to bust out the old vinyl, that was a good one.

Dude if you watching this sober then you one fucked up person. Bad publicity? Its the fucking internet who gives a shit. Don't be a bitch, its only weed.
Animation420 2 years ago
I won't disagree with you... I am indeed one fucked up person. I listen Sun O))) to make myself feel better and read pessimistic philosophy, such as Zapffe, when life gets me down. Oh, and The Residents casual listening to me.

More necessary than the word necessary is to describe how necessary that was.

three hits of lsd you should have been unable to watch anything exept your own hallucinations, unless it was comedy acid
