Primus (live) - Behind My Camel / Groundhog's Day - 08-06-10

Primus performing a cover of The Police song "Behind My Camel" and their own "Groundhog's Day" live on August 6, 2010 at Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, Tennessee.


lyrics:
When I woke up this mornin' I felt a pang
I was hungerin' for some apple pie
Stumble in the bathroom, hung my hog a little bit
Washed the sleep out of my eye
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a fine day
Scratched myself a bit
Poured me out a bowl-a corn chex
Closest thing I could find to apple pie
Lingerin' taste of toothpaste
Made the milk go down a bit funny
But you know, them chex they do satisfy
Oh yeah, this'll be a fine day
So, after my mornin' rise-n-shine and eat-n-clean
Had my mind set to hit them streets
Drizzle from the night left cold puddles out
Had my black stomp-boots on my fee
It's my day
Since I was in kneepants my pop had tried to make me realize
If I set my mind down to it I could be a big man in the public eye
So with my big blue collar on, I set out to find the easy way
What an ice cold bath it was when I found you had to pay to play
To taste the taste it's a tease that never would subside
The taste is strong but soured by my learned eyes
Well, if a woodchuck could chuck wood
He'd get down on his knees to pray
This little snappy boy might see
The light this groundhog's day

@StratmanHSS why do you hate this song? not techinical enough for ya? I think the song rules for its ambience!

[StratmanHSS]

I absolutely hate this song. Though I still prefer primus' version to that of the police.

[scallyhunter]

@esocikes get into the police, my friend. beyond the greatest hits, there are some very inventive tracks. copeland's drumming... one of the most imaginative. in fact claypool played with him in oysterhead.

[moeskido]

With Zappa gone, Claypool is about as close as I can get to the kind of angular music I like. Looking forward to seeing Primus for the first time.

Can't wait to see these legends in Australia.  PRIMUS SUCKS

[esocikes]

Primus sucks but srsly why are they covering this song, its pretty lame imo guess it provides a nice build up to gday.
