The Superions - Who Threw That Ham At Me (Official Video)

[DRFRAVIO]

Fred Schneider is a man!!!kkkkk..amazing!!!

[electronicoffee]

This should be remixed with Paula Deen when she got hit in the face with a Ham.

[tomakoma99]

I heard it on Fire Island in the late 80s....from a guy that said he just saw it himself right before the ferry picked him up,,lol

[twobirdtattoo]

Back in the 80's, I got my haircut a number of times in Manhattan by a woman (I THINK her name was Julia) who told me that she was in line at a grocery store and the woman in front of her dropped a canned ham out of her coat and yelled "Who threw a canned ham at me?". I always remembered that story because I thought it was a riot. I wonder if she also cut Fred Schneider's hair at some point and told the same story to him... way too much of a coincidence. Funny!

[DeborahHarryFan]

DISCO GARBAGE CAN, FLIP YOUR LIDS LOL

[bboinnngg]

Fred, I love your seriously screwed up humor ! My favorite bit is the appearance of the lovely PJ and Paul at 3:25 - love the joy in their faces.

PS - don't shoplift - I used to work in a drug store in Boston where this happened - business men in suits steeling total crap- totally humiliating to get caught - so not worth the risk !

[semidios1968]

It's a fantastic song and a funny video. Almost as hypnotic as "toss that beat in the garbage can"

I really like it!

[thevideocritic12321]

lol WUT?

[bolshoiboy8]

This feels like a different version of Flight of the Concords and other things Ive seen. It was funny but..

[PUTSOUTHINYOURMOUTH]

Stunningly Brilliant! 

[tomakoma99]

Gay Urban Legend..lol

[twobirdtattoo]

@tomakoma99 really? Is it a Gay Urban Legend? I do definitely remember being told the story from my haircutter back in the 80's in NYC, and she said it happened right in front of her on line at the grocery store (see my recent comment). If she told the story to me, she must have told a lot of other people. I definitely told it to a number of people over the years. It's funny to hear such an old story pop up in a song so many years later.

[skyeorage]

heehee i know 2 ppl in this

[tigerinmyhips]

@pabloenano96

With the success of the song, I'm sure the Superions could give a damn about what a nothing you are...are you one of the Baltimorons who was fired from the crew?

[tigerinmyhips]

@pabloenano96

[mattv626]

[tigerinmyhips]

[madmansak]

[tigerinmyhips]

@madmansak , he's the guy who ate the props at the end of the shoot.

[MissRandomIsRandom]

Thumbs up if you've done the Disco Garbage Can at a party or other public place. I know I have!

Seriously, though, I love this song. My dad and I will randomly yell out "Who threw that ham at me!?!" and my mom's like "wtf?" XD

[tigerinmyhips]

Did the camera man on the grocery store scene have a seizure while he was attempting to film that???

[tink314232]

had to share this with the friends. Good friend scott posted this to my wall today. :)

[JohnnyLovely2]

LOL ridiculous dance... i'm gonna do it.

[nataliethebrilliant]

[PUTSOUTHINYOURMOUTH]

Hey Y'all, Who threw that SPAM at me!

[natesot]

[trebornosneb]

Appropriately some of this was filmed in the fantastic American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore!

[TroggIII]

IF everyone would just wake up doing the "disco garbage can" wouldn't life just be wonderful???

[kfried71]

this should be in a richard simmons workout video

[datrinta]

That's the weirdest video with the most ridiculous dance I have ever seen! Hahahahaha! I can't stop laughing. Congrats Superions!! Great song. I give you guys a 10.

[jude8098]

heard this on stern.couldn't stop laughing.

[peekabooyoohoo]

I was just cranking this in my car with the windows down here in Burbank and some chicks beside me were dancing their asses off to it!

[seekoober]

Wow, seeing this video reminds me why we pay fit, attractive people to be in things.

[peekabooyoohoo]

@seekoober

I think it's great that Fred Schneider has a variety of people in his video.

[CheekyMonkey1968]

OMG! i love this! Too fun!! And now also it will not get out of my head LOL.

Cheers!

[TheAppleHat]

i heard this on the radio and laughed my butt off it was awesome

[Jamienyc1026]

Heard you on Howard, Love this song.

[katiehatch29]

Rad! enuf said!

[VerenceIV]

I LOVE ALLEN GATOR!!! (Call me! You've got the number...)

[originalactorman]

i loove the guy in the denim vest

[peekabooyoohoo]

Does anyone know how to listen to the Howard Stern interview? The links i'm finding aren't working. Thanks!

[frenchwv]

Call your cable company and subscribe to Howard TV. The interview is on there.

[natesot]

I just watched it, its great they even play a bit of this song.

[webon411]

@peekabooyoohoo

You can download it via torrents if you know how to use those. He was on Monday's show. I'm gonna try to upload the interview on here.

[dannydesktop]

he was good on stern and im a fan but im still kinda just wtf @ this song, but w/e its k who thru the ham at me

[deemacgee]

For a while, I thought that was Jake Shears (of Scissor Sisters fame) doing the thieving.

[peekabooyoohoo]

The shoplifter guy is much taller than Jake Shears. in the credits it says he's the star, executive producer and iphone camera man.

[phendformyself]

This is awesome! I remember the B 52s back in the early 90s when I was a kid!

Fred ROCKS!!!111oneone

I'd dance to this at a rave!

[DonVanco]

I did not hear the Stern interview - did Fred mention that this is based on an actual news story?

A woman in Cleveland, OH (I believe) was "boosting" a ham, and it fell from her skirt. She said "Who foow dat ham at me??"

It made the papers / TV.

[keysten5]

@DonVanco - yes it was mentioned. This vid is hilarious. Love it

[webon411]

@DonVanco I think he said it was an old urban legend.

[Mckatt2]

I love this and I loved Freds interview on Howard Stern yesterday!

[Mckatt2]

I love this soooo much...Love Fred!!!

[butchermachine]

Awesome interview yesterday on Howard Stern. I love this song! Fred rules!

[muireadach]

Nice, Fred:

The hits doubled after that appearance yesterday on Howard Stern. I did my part.  you da man!

[peekabooyoohoo]

What a great video! It looks like it was a blast to make and the song rocks!

[Wild1995]

Who threw that ham at me?

[marlonbarnes]

Thank you Fred! I saw your other band in Cleveland several times as early as 1983.

Thank you for staying away from social issues in the music here. You make me laugh!!!

[kerry5101971]

It ain't 'Rock Lobster" but not entirely awful. Will wait to hear more before I just chalk the whole album up as a toe-tappin' sort of meh...

[jennygirl666]

Loves this! Its loading slow though -- anyone else having this problem? Great video, great song!

[ritlingit]

I can't believe that Stephen King is the water shoplifter!! That is awesome!

[peekabooyoohoo]

@ritlingit

I'm sure his drag was supposed to be campy, as the entire video looks that way, but it's just downright awful! It looks like he's trying to copy the gals on Mad TV!

[TheJscs]

@ritlingit Looks nothing like nor is it at all King. Stephen King is at least 6 foot 5 and quite thin.

[peekabooyoohoo]

Maybe Stephen King is it's drag name? lol

It's too bad the real Stephen King wasn't in it!

[andreahartley1]

I was working at a grocery store about 6 yrs ago and this actually happened. Except the lady yelled "Who Frew dat ham at me?"

[deemacgee]

Tee hee hee! Catchy. :D

[frnkstallone]

one time i saw this dude f**king a canned ham in the back of vons.

[steelearch]

...and Fred Schneider has yet another side gig from the B-52's!!

[thisismyhappening]

Blogged along with news.

[janpaulmiller]

The bearded judge is hott, hott, hott

[tigerinmyhips]

he is hot!

[tigerinmyhips]

Wow, this looks great, what a fun video!

It's like a John Water's video, only with better looking people! :)

[leenixon12]

Hilariously low budget. I love it!

[robinsonpatrick]

Great!!!

[linkmaxbub]

Gotta love a low budget video.

[theuTV]

FANtastic!

[5degreesofbacon]
