  • God that album cover is creepy as fuck. Still good band though.

  • Not just musically beautiful but the most scintillatingly clever and funny nonensense - ON TOP of all that. Had a Thai girlfriend, and that's how I came to be enlightened. We played it to her hardass drunken mother and that woman, who was from Issan, she cracked up. And I seriously enjoyed successfully playing the Butthole Surfers to my girlfriend's seriously not modern mum. Heh. Heh heh. *It's for all the family to enjoy* :D

  • I WILL try and put a full translation up at some point. In the meantime, y'all force this on your

    Thai friends!

  • Mii duang, khray waa Khong dii

    Duang dii tammay mun khun.

    Khun Khun Khun ....

    North-eastern Thai, traditional Issan folk song played with virtuoso and sung faithfully in dialect. Translation:

    There is fate/destiny, who's to say whether good

    Good fate, why does it itch?

    Itch itch itch etc

    Not some vicious racist slur at all but quite the opposite - mastery beyond ordinary human measure or another obscure culture's music - over music itself. Gleeful border-hopping.

  • 'THAI-wanese' lol....that's about as hardcore asian as you can get

  • Itch....Itch...Itch....the itch that never goes away....

  • Kan kan kan kakanakakakankant kant

  • Its supposed to be Thaiwanese, i think

    

  • What language is that? Sounds like it would be something South Asian.

  • drugs....drugs.......drugs....­.

  • This song is.... fucking insane... xD

  • My Imam/pastor/guru approved this for you all to listen to. Carry on...

  • If you think about it, when you say Kuntz like this it sounds like "cunts"... which would be quite rude.

  • @ou7shined Lolretard

  • why can i not stop giggling lalwz

  • @spamjunky3000 because this is the most beautiful song you've ever heard

  • can't wait to hear this on Glee...those douches

  • @AJtheory and I mean the Gleesters

  • A song about my son's soon-to-be ex stepmom. This is for you PSYCHOBITCH!!

  • rEMINDS ME OF ALL THE GREAT ACID IN THE LATE 80'S

  • @legacyabq what would they be then lol

  • sonic drug

  • The song is in Thai, kunt in thai = itchy, sounds like the english word cunt

  • You have got to watch out for that demon kunt

  • in soviet russia, kunt fucks you....

  • It simply doesn't work if, at the end of the mantra, you have no kunt...

  • See You Next Tuesday, Kuntz!

  • ok, i get my answer.

    the song is also on youtube, "thai shotgun cassette"

  • Hillary Clinton, Cuntoleeza Rice, Sarah Palin, Janet Napolitano=Kuntz

  • the amount of times i jumped up pissed and try to stop the tape, becuase i thought it was sticking or getting screwed up, is to many to count, all i can say is kuntz.

  • still one of my top 10 favorite butthole surfers songs. maybe even top 6.659 (rounded to the nearest hundredth of course)

  • I remember playing this tape when I was a kid and my mom told me to "turn that shit off" glad I didn't!

  • My drug dealer's lst name is Kuntz...this is awesome.

  • this was my grandma's maiden name....

  • its my best song -very crazy

  • oh man this one got forgotten in my acid casuality days but as soon as it statred it came back in a fluid liquid complete and perfect perfection. how could have i forgotton, as i said before gibby is brilliant maybe even genius

  • Genius. One of the finest bands ever, a treasure from my early teens. Still able to listen to them now which is more than can be said for some of my music collection from the period. Nice to have a fatty boombatty with.

  • Hahahah shit my premature mind is starting to have too much fun again....

  • i am tripping out, i love this band

  • Ecco da dove hanno preso il nome i marlene kuntz!

  • This album came out when I was a freshman in architecture school. There was a competition to create a "six-foot column" and have a gallery showing. I got three Peavey amps, stacked 'em up, draped 'em in a blood-red cloth and had "Kuntz" playing on an endless loop for the entire duration. It drove people crazy, but I made it to the finals of the competition.

  • THIS WAS MY WEDDING SONG ''NEXT DAY DIVORCED''

  • its so dumb, but its so catchy!!!!

  • Oh, and yeah. I think I'm living proof. If you were tripping and listening to this, well some of the folks who did just that with me, they're not even with us anymore. Those still left are insane to a fault. Definitely both a blessing and a curse to so many of my generation. To have taken hallucinogens so young, yet to have escaped their grasp before they had complicated things too much, only to later discover that they had complicated EVERYTHING. The brain chemistry of a teen is IMPRESSIONABLE.

  • @SoyBoySigh Yeah took so much mushrooms and acid it fucked me up for life to a certain degree. However I will always love the buttholes there is a spiritual ridculous hilarious about them. It is like laughing psychotically while having a bad trip at the same time.

  • 97? Yeah, it was 87 for ME too.... Maybe 90 by the time I stopped listening to the band and cleared my head for a while.

    But hey, does anybody know the song's meaning? I mean, in Thai? Any Thai people who know of this and haven't already begun to help the original artist institute his law-suit, it would be great to hear what it was really about before it became about giggling while exhaling pot smoke then sitting back rapt with wonder at the patterns the mushrooms made you see in said smoke....

  • @SoyBoySigh  From what I understand, "kahn" is the Thai word for itch. The song describes 'an itch that can't be scratched' or 'won't go away' "itch itch itch itch itch..." A euphemism for love or yearning of some sort, I suppose.

  • Back in 1997 this is what you listened to when you were experimenting.

  • @RinaTodd This came out in 1987.

  • if i was trippin i think this would drive me insane

  • duang nee thamai nee mun kan

    (spot this why this it itches!)

  • duuuuuianaaaaaaaaquitidiiiiiii­iiiiiiii

  • Seriously.... the stupidest song I've ever heard in my life.

  • ahhh cunts mmmmm :)

  • Dinosaur Holokuntz!

  • Everybody sing along!

    "You'll clay walk on me. You will be combined demon kuntz. Kuntz kuntz kuntz kuntz kuuuunttzzz!"

  • I was hired as a live-in assistant to a very hep woman welder. She made fireplace screens, furniture, art pieces and sconces (wall mounted candle holders, a big seller). After 5 or so weeks of hearing her call for "sconce, sconce, sconce..."pieces of iron I could not help but get this song going in a vicious loop inside my head. Although I am sure she was familiar with The Surfers, as well as this song, somehow I don't think she ever made the connection. This became my private joke...

  • i'm 14 and my mum can hear me blasting this at full volume down the stairs, so what do i do? REPLAY!!!

  • @2doctoma Watch Out! We Got A Badass Over Here!

  • @2doctoma i'm 12 and what is this

  • Trippin'

  • omg that indian song is the fuckin shit

  • @MaxBassBoost It's Thai, not Indian.

  • anyon eknow the crazy arab song

  • Check out Dinosaur Holocaust's "i wanna walk her home" for more of this type shit

  • This has been my ringtone for like a year now. But whenever i hear the intro to this song, i always look at my damn phone. Still a brilliant song.

  • ive posted several times..but i love it

  • Lyrics?

  • Some kind of Thai agriculture song I heard is what it is about though i doubt the Surfers were interested in promoting Thai agriculture when they did this .

  • My favorite Thai song from my favorite Texas band!

  • My ass was haunted til you saved me!

  • very true

  • Been listening to these guys since CD's came in a cardboard sleeve around the jewel case

  • @tonguewithtalent been listening to these guys since cassette, this was their last real good album though.

  • @rillloudmother I thought hairway to steven was also a great album. The guitar work on that album was insane!

  • kuntz, kuntz, kuntz, kuntz, kunts, krunts, krungs, drungs, drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs.....

  • I... FUCKING LOVE THIS. It's like cumbia and psychadelicness cumbianized

  • i have to go repent for likeing the buttholes so much, no pun intended.

  • Ever have a song that takes you back to a time and place? This takes me back to my final year of high school during Grade 12 winter exams. It was the third butthole surfers song I ever heard and I was hooked.

  • ... kuntz... KUNTZ, KUNTZ, KUNTZ, KUNTZKUNTZKUNTZKUTZKUNTZ@$&%$^­*

  • I love this song! It's funny, interesting...

  • It's a beautiful thing indeed.

  • 6 Cunts didn't like this video!!

    P.S. I want some acid for this song!!

  • This is the best song to listen to while doing whippets.

  • I have the "The original, unmodified version Thai Shotgun Cassette " on my ipod

    The original song that "Kuntz" is based on, obtained from a recording medium entitled Thai Shotgun Cassette (note that Turner doesn't specify whether this is an official title or whether the recording medium it was obtained from was actually a cassette).

  • According to a reader's comment on Mark Prindle's record review page, 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.

    The band recently made a remix of this song that is on the playlist on their MySpace page.

  • 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.

  • "Kuntz" is a song by the experimental punk band Butthole Surfers, originally released as the ninth track of their 1987 album Locust Abortion Technician.

  • @TEMPmichaelhansen Really???

  • @cyaninternetdog

    all on wikipedia

    i have the original song

    and more info in OUR BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE

  • i have the original song source (read the chapter in "OUR BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE" book) At least you, William Berger. Original source (MP3) of the song immortalized and transformed by the Surfers on their genius Locust Abortion Technician album. No info, except that it's from something called Thai Shotgun Cassette, and kindly passed on to me by Andee Connors. If anyone has further info to share on it, please let us know!

  • thewy took this unknown recording and manipulated it

    the source is unknown

  • I wish I wrote this song

    I wish I talked like that

    all the time

  • KUNT, KUNT, KUNT, KUNT!!!!!!

  • In their music there is something...probably perversion, provocation and cynism. it's a shit, but I'm not able to stop to listen this album...

    Hmm...it's very strange....

  • brilliant.

  • last night i listen this album!

  • i want to be a locust abortion technician when i grow up!

  • hahaha hamster you kill me...so funny so funny.......what does it matter the user name you choose...ha funny....I love butthole surfers.....so go suck a huge KUNT....hahaha love ya

  • kunt kunt kunt kunt kunt

  • Hello new ringtone!

  • @bps3013 did you ever find this for a ringtone??

  • @therbs442 I found the mp3 online and made my own ringtone from it. :D

  • I really get a kick out of reading how easily this band incites such venom. They would love it.

  • @kornboy667 I don't usually pick fights on the internet, but i could never stomach juggalos. I believe that if you actually enjoy ICP you have forfeited your right to comment on actual music. How can ANYONE respect the musical opinions of a juggalo? Their favorite "band" consists of two adult rednecks who dress up like clowns and yell appallingly bad poetry to crappy digital beats.

  • I have a friend who wants this played at his funeral. Hope i live to see that.

  • god, i love these guys. i want to try acid and just listen to them the whole time.

  • che tripppppppppppp

  • NEVER LISTEN TO THIS WHEN YOUR TIPPIN BAWLZ!!! Scared the shit out of me.....

  • @toyguns123 I don't do drugs. This still scares me.

  • @downwith4kids it's because you dont do drugs that it scares you xD

  • heavy. Good times

  • KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT

    KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT KUNT

  • KUNTZS

  • Utter genious!!!

  • @juggalette669 unlike that spelling of genius

  • @juggalette669 please change your name and stop liking that shitfest of a "musical" duo, ISP. Only then will I give a shit what you think about the great Butthole Surfers. 8D

  • @HamsterFueledRocket dude do you really think saying that is gunna make her do that, fuck no ,saying they suck is just going to encourage the ones who already like them. excluding me, i know i have waaaay better music taste than most people, and frankly i dont give a fuck, the butthole-surfers are deff great, but what if i was to say the same shit about them that your sayin about the posse, or just hating on ur favorite band in general, im guessing youd be the type to pick a fight over the net

  • It is Thai, I think the word kun, wich sounds like cunt means itchy.

  • Greatest....Song....Ever

  • LOL @ the person who said Hairway To Steaven.

  • @dammitineedaname Its an album by BB

  • Comment removed

  • Am i the only one who thinks this should be sung by all contestants in the next Idol or X-Factor final?

  • I dedicate this song to whippits.

  • Live in Thailand, this trips out my villager friends... got most of their early stuff on vinyl, still play it on the turntables everytime visit home..... favorite is still psychic powerless.. another man's sac.... that and hairway to steaven....

  • I dedicate this song to George Nasr of Melbourne.

  • la cumbia villera que no era cumbia villera.

  • One time I listened to this over and over while reading "Wise Blood" by Flannery O'Connor. It was... quite strange. I think that may have been the day I went mad.

  • actually, not in English...Javanese or something

  • 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. The lyrics roughly translate to: "That itch that won't go away...The itch never leaves."

  • @chanch420 That sounds pretty awful when you think about it.

  • This is making me go insane.

  • I love The Surfers. Been my favorite band since 1986.

  • @baphxiii wow . i guess you dont get oout much lol

  • @ilalaloveyou0 Actually, I do. I enjoy this band because they are truly unique. Unlike Lady Gag or some of the other crap music you have posted on your page.

  • @baphxiii this song is about her.

  • OriGinal version From Thailand by Thai Native Artist "Plern Promdan" but I can't remember this song's name Sorry :(

  • KPMG makes you go as crazy as these guys.

  • Hilarious shit. The song is in Thai, the word "kun" wich sounds similiar to cunts, means Itchy.

  • @Robertnuns LOl thats the hole reason butthole surfers like this song

    Becasue of cunts

  • This kind of reminds me of Thai folk music. Extremely exotic and nice to listen to. Butthole Surfers rule the world. Also like cough syrup and 22 going on 23. Some of the Butthole Surfers fans may like Brian Eno (Julie With for starters).

  • Lol, that's so funny and unique. Gotta love it :D

  • OK...where's the Mushrooms?

  • i wanna surf that butthole !!!! fuckin great !!!

  • oh, man. me and my friends used to get baked out of our gourds and listen to this album. kuntz was my favorite. great memories.

  • I've seen so many things while trippin and listening to this album.

  • This one goes out to Freeman.
