  • best version of this song besides the original

  • @FourthHorseman4 yeah, Jerry Reed was a genius

  • Sounds just like the original. Primus just takes what Jerry Reed did and made it that much funky/awesome/strange!

  • LOL Nice version

  • Naw none of you know nuttin bout da swamp and da gattah....or da skrimp. SHOOT EM LIZZIBETH!!!

  • 7 people got throwed in da swamp for alligator bait!!

  • @jws1272 did you get that from the top comment

  • @jazzas90000 It's part of the lyrics! Just increased it because there's 7 dislikes now.

  • @jws1272 yeah i know the songs lyrics i like the song an ok be sure to come back in few monthsto top it up again

  • Listening to this while watching swamp people

  • primus needs a new cover cd

  • from which album is this one ???

  • @IMBACHABRI

    kid, open your eyes: Rhinoplasty

    c:

  • @SirSchranzALot damn weed xD

  • That is a note for note tribute! Highest complement for some of the best of today!

  • They do Jerry Reed right with this cover. Better than most bands manage to pull off.

  • @AgentBlythe1 Primus always nails it when they do a cover.

  • needs a bass solo.

  • @NORRISPUNCH Any song is vastly improved with a well times Bass solo

  • fuck yes

  • They do this cover almost perfectly identical to the Jerry Reed version. Other than Les's vocals it sounds identical to me.

  • not bad, the guitar just dont sound right

  • Awesome cover, made my day!

  • jerry reed did it better

  • in the song he says its illegal to hunt gators in the swamp. but in reality if you actually new shit about swamps they pay you lots of money to hunt as many gators as you can because they are over populating

  • @almostsk8ter1234 Jerry Reed released the song in 1970. It very well may have been illegal in that era

  • @almostsk8ter1234 Don't overthink it buddy... your head might start hertin'

  • @redresch shut the fuck up bitch. i know why your head hurts, because your dad and mom tried to kill you with a hammer when you were little because your scum

  • @almostsk8ter1234

    Lol @ this internet tough guy.

  • shit this a good cover

  • LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny

  • HERE COMES AMOS!!

  • This song is so redneck it hurts

  • Comment removed

  • primus plays this a little too fast

  • GREAT cover!

  • Jerry is a funny-ass country musician, and Primus is a funny-ass band..... They couldn't have chosen a better song to cover. R.I.P. Jerry Reed.

  • wow....

    thanx

    what a great cover of a great song.

  • Damnnn hahahahaha fuck yeah

    Jerry Reed is Bad ass

    And SOOOOO IS PRIMUS HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

  • nothing like the real version

  • This song sounds like it could have easily been one of Primus'. The lyrics tell a funny story about a fictional or real person, much like many Primus songs. (Bob, Jerry Was a Racecar Driver, De Anza Jig, etc.)

    I dig it.

  • WE NEED ANOTHER COVER ALBUM PRIMUS!!!!!!!!!

  • man i want a new primus cover album

  • Obvious Primus had some country influence, I'm not surprised they'd be inspired by Jerry. He was such a clown, it makes perfect sense.

  • Primus SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

  • Clay Cesspool is cool , and Primus Sucks, and this cover has some balls to it !

  • I love it. Very rarely do you find a remake that after hearing the orginal version first you can actually like. Les is the shit; and Primus SUCKS!

  • 3 people were used as alligator bait by their fathers.

  • It kinda makes you wonder why Primus didn't just go into country music

  • @ashleystilleto cuz country is a real downer man les is to bomb for that

  • @ashleystilleto because primus cant be defined into ANY genre. primus is primus. END OF FUCKING DICUSSION.

  • @138WEEZY /Psychedelic Polka

  • k-rose ftw!

  • quei tre son proprio dei cazzoni

  • how do you figure they are making fun of jerry reed??

    maybe if they corned it up a bit but i listened to the whole thing and its pretty close to the way jerry did it ... now you think cause claypools voice is different than reeds ...hes making fun ??

    cause this cover is pretty dang close to a karaoke version ...only you have the lead singer of primus doing it

  • they corn and pork everything

  • @wyattrashbug Dont think they were baggin on jerry.

  • sweet, I didn't know they did this song. awesome

  • @angelsong3000 Me too! Sounds just like the record!!

  • @angelsong3000 Jerry Reed sang the song first but primus did one hell of a cover =)

  • hahahah @ the K-Rose comment

  • Imitation IS the most sincere form of flattery.

  • Something tells me that Jerry Reed and Les Claypool would do pretty good on a song together . . . shame Jerry's gone.

  • Nothing compared to Jerry Reed. sory but it does just sound like karoke.

  • PRIMUS=TITTIES

  • Could have been a lot more funky and rocking. Sounds like rock karoke

  • Primus SUCKS!

  • @300Z31 that offends me cause im dumb as hell!!!!

  • @Chenzy09 rofl

  • this is a great cover!!! jerry reed has a better laugh... hahahhhhhhhhhhh

  • When i firswt heard this i laughed the hardest in my life, yay Primus. Never thought they would do country besides Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.

  • They changed it form neck to waist.

  • Only Primus could cover this song =P Awesome \,,/

  • @pantscrapper12 It's pretty funny, my Grandfather is a HUGE fan of the original song, and I played this for him and it fooled him at first. They did a great job with this cover. It's a cover, and it's still one of my favorite Primus songs.

  • I shat my pants at how awesome this is

  • primus sucks

  • you suck

  • "Primus sucks" was like an old chant at there shows.

    it's not about a video game

    this song is a song.

    Not just from a game.

    Jerry Reed is in Movies and is a Legend

  • @blueeyedsoldier100

    Indeed. This is an awesome cover, by the way. I had no idea that Primus covered this.

  • @Carcassfan891

    crazy is what i thought hahahaha

    it's not better.

    But it's their kinda music

    hahaha i tripped out, Jerry Reed is bad ass.

    But this is awesome

  • @pballAbe I hope you know this isn't the original song... The real one is by Jerry Reed

  • Fucking awesome.

  • lollllllllllllollllllllll

  • I've never heard this version!! It's pretty good. Les pronounces "Thibideux" like "tippytoe", the way I always thought it was for years until the internet came along... haha.

    And yeah, Primus Sucks! yeeha!

  • PRIMUS SUCKS!!! yeah ;]

  • I still prefer the original, but I do think Jerry would be proud of this none the less!

  • Primus own face, they cover this song brilliantly

  • This is awesome.

    PRIMUS SUCKS!

  • Jerry reed would be proud, they did a great job!

  • @edzick917 Agree 100%. Great cover.

  • You know what's funny. I didn't even blink when I saw they did this cover. This Reed song is PERFECT for Primus's sound. Awesome.

  • Couldn't have said it better myself bro.

  • This is an amazing cover. This actually fooled my Grandfather, who is a fan of the original song. Of course, when he heard Les start singing...he knew. But the music fooled him. They did an amazing job with this.

    PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

  • This is an amazing cover by Les. The original is good, but Les makes it thump.

  • Wicked sweet song

  • AMAZING!
