The Residents - Picnic Boy

[Alekx]

RIP Picnic Boy.

You weren't too FAT.

[cthulhugamete]

the true heirs of DADA

[donov25]

@cthulhugamete DaDa as in the band? The residents have been around much longer than Dada.

[eruption257]

dear god they turned him into the hamburger lady

[badazzpresidents23]

@eruption257 I like the reference ;)

[52barney]

indeed that is Lili-Marlene Premilovich BKA Lene Lovich.

If you are not familiar with her there's plenty on YouTube to check out.

It is worthwhile

[Koolkitties]

holy shit

[CJAnonymous]

Poor Picnic Boy.

So young.

[FlyingCow777]

what the fuck am i watching

[KoivuTheHab]

@FlyingCow777 The beauty of art my friend...

[MjXllcommando]

by showing us our culture in a completely alien way they just succeed in reminding us just how fucked up we really are. its brilliant.

[emmetwebster]

These videos are not as good as the videos The Residents themselves would make.

[tennispaful]

phat, fat, fhat

[elchicano2010]

Buen video de the residents, aunque como alguien dijo que era musica surrealista, puede ser, pero yo le voy mas al avantgarde, porque la musica avantgarde es mas fuera de un orden establecido, ejemplo: algunas veces Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Gong, Can etc, etc

Aunque el video esta bien lo que esta muy alucinado son los niños que se ven, el gato espantoso, el cielo rojo que se ve horrible y como descuartizan al cuate que sacaba la lengua y se vuelve un craneo

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

Why melvins reminds me to this?

[obliquestrategies66]

this video is by the same director that did I Am Spoonbender's 'replaced by toys', right? the 2 videos are very very similar actually. watch em back to back... great stuff.

[davesblueguitar]

Picnic Boy.  Uh Huh.....

[bejAmir]

THE COMMERCIAL ALBUM is... amazing

[TechMetalChapel]

Something about this reminds me of my own nightmares

[tatunkha]

If you think the cat is funny go see the residents clip for constantinople now that is freaky - these guys are genius

[tatunkha]

This film I had to watch 3 times to see it properly as I was laughing too hard.

[Joeey]

pretty serious DEVO influence

[Pneumonica]

@Joeey Actually, probably mutual influence. The Residents predate Devo by about 6 to 10 years (depends on how you count), but this album came about 2 years after Devo first started.

[Refrescospepito]

Sung by Lene Lovitch.

[infradig8]

Picnic boy couldnt save face

[mollisk]

horrible acid trip

[MikuMech]

Why does this video make me think of A Clockwork Orange so much?

[taketsnurrar]

That cat is fucking scary.

[Bram25]

LOL-cat says: I dontz wantz a picknix! :(

[J040Z1NH0]

eye like it.

[MONKEYJAW89]

those cylindrical buildings at the beginning are in Greenwich observatory

[gasdisaster]

WOW!

[Bram25]

Serious Cat iz seriouz! 

[pazzensutra]

I'm not too terribly fond of this video. Pretty dumb.

[dcarr84]

Did they ever find the stolen EYE head ?

[HyulpyGuy]

..Guest vocals, courtesy of Lene Lovich!

[ClassicRockSovereign]

@HyulpyGuy

Nah, that sounds too masculine to be Lene....

[Hadding1933]

@HyulpyGuy It sounds like Lene Lovich to me! If it isn't she, it's an imitation.

[asiaownsuk]

anti immigrant propaganda

[theo9952]

@asiaownsuk

what ????!!!!!!

are you serious ????

[Talloweed]

Explain.

[pazzensutra]

@asiaownsuk Whatever!!!!!

[nicademus666]

srsly, who could NOT recognize Lene and her great voice?

[theo9952]

@nicademus666

but, guys, this is RENALDO AND THE LOAF-one of the two, i don't know who the singer of the duo is- I AM SURE ABOUT IT ! They are in the credits of the commercial album, too !

LENE LOVITCH ??? NO WAY !!!

[nicademus666]

YES, it IS Lene, she is credited as "Snakes' Sis"

[theo9952]

@nicademus666

have you heard RENALDO AND THE LOAF? if you have not, there's a couple of videos on youtube. maybe you could check if you like. the voice in this, sounds exactly like RATL's singer, there is no mistaking it. L. Lovitch participated in the commercial album, her name is even mentioned as such, in the credits of the remastered cd version, but it must be another song that she sings.

[nicademus666]

of course I've heard RaTL. Picnic Boy is most assuredly sung by Lene Lovich. It IS NOT Renaldo OR the Loaf. BTW, her last name is spelled LOVICH

[MONKEYJAW89]

@theo9952 that song is weird

[EverDownward]

@nicademus666 I thought she was credited as "Sandy Sandwich?"

[nicademus666]

@EverDownward Could be, but I do not recall Sandy Sandwich mentioned on the original release... It is not at all unusual for the Res to alter their product with each re-issue. Which is another reason I gave up on collecting everything they do... Really, who the hell needs 3 different releases of the same thing?

[TheBaronVitelius]

Yes, that is Lene Lovitch on the vocal, one of several cameo performances on this LP.

[silentx9]

Nothing weird about girls cutting off a guys face

[silentx9]

this vid. wierded me out

[knifecut]

Lene!!!

[dubkeb]

yes,the legendary Lena Lovitch sings on this one.

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

Is that Lene Lovich??????? Like this one from the Commercial Album. At least they are short - so if you hate them you can move on very easily....

[stormwolf911]

First time ever even hearing about this band.

All I can say is that was fu6king awesome hahaha

I've got to check out more of there stuff, I've never seen anything like this!

[Moldimir]

Be careful they have a lot of stuff. Some more prefferable to some some less. It all depends on the taste. They have released over 40 albums and even more live, compilation and audio stuff. Every album speaks for it self.

[3Orphan3Gears3]

the other video is better

[Talloweed]

I much prefer this video.

[gorkysire]

This version's awful

[nicademus666]

gorky, this is the ONLY video or version of this song.

[gorkysire]

I was talking about the video! I probably should have clarified.

[teleny2]

Without the scary visuals, I'd love to teach this song to kids.

[inredress]

maybe the other version with dancing skull guy would work?

[InfantStrange]

My favourite :D:D :D

[CountVanAccount]

God the picture of this cat---THING haunts my dreams.

[teleny2]

I find him to be a urbane, polite, mancat. He doesn't want to see his friend's feelings hurt.

[Talloweed]

If there isn't a band called, "Urbane Polite Mancat," there should be.

[turduckenband]

picnic boy is indeed far too fat

[SleepyFoxx]

OHGODWHAT

[ltaglieri12]

haha great song i could listen to it over and over

[hailmetal16]

Sweet song, that bass is pretty cool too

[synestheticmusic]

remains my favourite residents song.

[nokajje]

THAT IS LENE LOVICH!!!!!!!

[AlbertMondback]

Is that Snakefinger's voice?

[MasterScarry]

Its my favourite video ) and music. Thanks )
