And when I bought the album shortly after the BBQ Pope experiment everyone I knew referred to it as Brown Reason to Live -- but the Pee Pee thing is cool too, I guess.
I remember when I was in college one of my friends went to Wax Trax Records and brought back the 12" single of BBQ Pope. We put it on the turntable and (frankly high as a kite) had fun with the fact that you could be equally amazed or revolted by the song at 33 1/2, 45 or 78.
Ah, memories of madness living with mates 20 years ago. After a burst of Big Black, some Ministry and a subtle hint of the Mentors, this would be the track that would get the bloke next door banging on the front door, nearly crying with anger. Poor bugger. Then I bought a drum kit...
I had a copy of 'Cottage Cheese from the Lips of Death', a compilation album on which this song appeared. Before that, I had not heard of the Butthole Surfers.
the only reason it went by pee pee the sailor was there was a cartoon on the sticker on the wax that said that. being that there was no other album title on the cover we all went with that . over the years its become brown reason to live. call it whatever ya want but that should shed a little light.
@brainalishi Nobody I knew back then ever referred to it as Pee Pee the Sailor. Everyone called it Brown Reason to Live or just "the Butthole's first record".
@scottc8691 Naw, the first EP and the Live PCPPEP were put together and released in one package after they were both released on their own (they stuck a couple of bonus tracks on there too).
Back in the day...I used to go over to the type-writer section of Lechmere Stores...and type "The shah sleeps in lee harvey's grave!" on ever IBM selectric there. Then I'd wander around and watch people's faces when they'd read it.
I later explained to the commenter that I was joking when I told him to read the description. As for the title, I couldn't give a bigger shit. Call it "Super 3D Fuck Farts" for all I care. I don't like the concept behind self-titled albums, so for the prevention of confusion, I call it its other name.
The album cover itself--the profile of bloated, starving Africans--is from Butthole Surfers's first album. This album had no title, but the REAL nickname of the album, what people REALLY called it was "Brown Reason To LIve". I'm old, and I know this. I first started listening to Butthole Surfers in 1985. How Kurt Cobain got "Pee Pee the Sailor" I have no idea. He and I are about the same age, and from the same area; no one called it "Pee Pee...".
@profd65 The original vinyl release did say "Pee Pee the Sailor" on the B side label. It was never the official title, but that's why some people think it is.
