Primus and The Residents are friends. The Eye Guys once circulated through the audience at a Primus show, handing out free records (CDs I guess) to anyone who didn't talk to them (if you acknowledged them, no CD for YOU!)
I've read that before; wish I'd been there. I just don't know how much Les Claypool was channeling The Residents for that song or if it's just a coincidence.
I don't get it. Cannon and Ball, Little and Large... Penn and Teller? Surely it should be Penn and Paper or Listener and Teller. They are fucking with our heads. And what about the Residents? They must be big bastards too.
I remember the 80's like it was tomorrow...I did nothing but take LSD and listen to the Residents...This might explain why I'm permanently warped even to this very day?!
One has to remember that Snakefinger was left-handed, one reason why they were thought of as The Beatles when they first started. There are other instruments though of which he was proficient :-)
In the early Residents tapes (baby sex, & warner Bros.) Snakefinger played the violin on just about every "song". All of The Residents would wail on horns in that Captain Beefheart untrained free-form way, and all the Residents played percussives.

After listening to this song, listen to De Anza Jig by Primus. I swear parts of it are very similar.

oh man the uncle sam mole show. the stage setup was completely redone for this, and you can tell. its dark, and has cool lighting.

actually the lighting is probably cause the footage looks a bit hazy.
