This was on Much Music every New Years growing up. This was something I actually looked forward to at the end of every year lol "I hope they play that weird fish song again!"
I just got to share this, years ago when I worked for a lumber company and I drove this one guy crazy for singing this song, he hated it, then years later my brother worked at the mill and he would sing way down yonder in the peanuts patch, which drove him even crazier.
Funny: If we assume they were on acid or similar, it's an honest tribute to the inane. If we assume they were sober, it becomes a pretentious art project by people who want to seem different and shocking.
@chinasherry1961 Not too sure on that one. I was trying to remember that some "Bill" had something to do with it. Thinking Bill Paxton, Bill Pullman. lol
As soon as my son learns to speak, Ill lock him in a completely dark room with a tv. Itll show interference for an hour before this starts. Then itll switch off for another hour until i let him out
I first heard this song on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' one New Years Eve after having a few drinks ... I nearly pee'd myself laughing! Why it suddenly came into my head 30 years later ... once seen, never forgotten!
In 1981 or so, my sister and I stayed up all night just to see this video a second time. We are now senior citizens I guess by generation x standards and I found it again! My sister and I still laugh at the joy it gave us now so many years ago...
I just went fishing a week ago (it's been years since I've fished), and had to butcher the fish. All along I was thinking of that old "Fish Heads" vid/song I had seen as a kid when MTV 1st came out in the 80's. I was telling my friend about part of the song I remembered word for word, so when I showed her this video she was surprised to know that I actually remembered a verse!! "I took a fish head out to see a movie...I didn't have to pay to get it in...
McDonald's ripped this off in their new Filet o Fish commercial - probably couldn't get the rights to "Fish Heads" so they did sort of similar synth/casio tune - even the "yeahh" at the end
I had no idea, but I always thought one looked familar. It is a silly song but one of those things where, you knew where you were & who you were with the first time you saw it on MTV. Thanks for the comment!
@thewormster Yes, one of the creative Barnes' is Bill Mumy from that show. Neve mind he went on to Babylon 5! lol. My sister and I sang this ditty far too often!
LOL...hell yes they were serious. This was like one of the first music videos to air on MTV. I don't know why or what they were thinking but it is funny as hell. Thanks for the comment.
Well, the comments are all true, I haven't seen any fish heads drinking cappacino, or playing baseball, or any of the other stuff. As for "eat them up, yum!" if you like the taste of fish heads, I won't fight you for the big pieces.
When I first saw this video on MTV, my sister and I laughed so hard that not only did I actually pee my pants, but we had migraines for 2 days from laughung so hard. YOU'VE GOTTA LOVE AND APPRECIATE this little ditty for all it is!! ALL or NOTHING!!!
Looks like 4 people got charged for bringing their fish heads out to see a movie.
