"Kuntz" is a song by the Butthole Surfers. The song consists of a recording of a Thai singer which is sped up, slowed down, and otherwise manipulated. The lyrics are in fact intentionally altered to emphasize and repeat the word "itch" (คัน - kan[1]) to make it sound like "cunt", which has a very different meaning in English. it is stated that the lyrics roughly translate to: "That itch that won't go away...The itch never leaves." The song is written by an unknown and uncredited Thai artist.
@sydbarrett5 When we went to see them in Toronto last year (my dad's 4th time, my first), dad went up to Paul Leary's wife, who was doing merch, and said "Gibby is a fucking genius." To which Leary's wife replied, "Yeah, but he's really fucked up, too."
Going On 23, the Buttholes most psychotic and darkest of all tracks. Missed my one and only chance to see them in 89. Wish they`d include more UK dates when they tour. btw...good live footage and the sound is pretty good too!
I wasn't sure whether it was thai or cambodian. It sounds like an old famous cambodian singer called Sinn Sisamouth. Great tune any way, i love when artits use obscure samples like this!
At 2:44 what movie or footage is that from?!

I wonder if he's mellowed out a bit over the years. Great artist.
