If you consider the best thing in eternity by something so annoying that I'd rather have my head bitten off from this, then yes I think that checks out.
In addition to Jello Biafra from Dead Kennedys, this track also features Alien Jourgensen, Paul Barker, and Jeff Ward, who had all been involved with Ministry and Revolting Cocks among other projects. Great lineup.
The backstory on the tune that Lard's covering here makes for compelling history. The tune was released in 1966, and hit the top 10 of the charts with a quickness. Then the corporate radio censors got cold feet about its making-light-of-the-crazed content and quit playing it. So the song holds the record for quickest drop on the Billboard top 100, going from top 5 to falling off the charts with a quickness. Because of soft censorship in the music biz. Think about it...
The original is by Napoleon XIV. I love this version though. But for once I will ask for thumbs up, only so that people can know about the original and listen to it. It's marvellous and deserves its credit.
If i'm not mistaken (correct me if i'm wrong) the original 7" of this song...the B side was the song in reverse? THE POWER OF LARD... Jello rocks like no other :)
This is the most unsettling and disturbing song I’ve ever heard, it doesn’t need violence or shock factor in it. It’s just the sound of mental instability growing exponentially, to the point where you increasingly believe (perhaps rightly) that you are on the verge of putting society in danger.
@snj68 Not only was the B-side tune in reverse, but the label that was in reverse too. There were two labels that were used, on one it was just the song title that was backwards, on the other version it was the entire label that was printed backwards, as a mirror image of the front label. /end history lesson
Out of all the songs Lard ould cover...this is already one of my all time favorite songs, I wore it out on my K-Tel (?) Loony Tunes album (I was 7 and it was the 70s) and stomped all over the house to it hopefully driving my mom up the wall and I can't think of a more perfect band to cover it. Did Jello write the new lyrics?
JUST LAUGH HAH HA HEE HE HAH HA... ITS FREE you cough you spluuhg but HEY we'll all be HAPPY WHA HEYY! OOH free prescription drugs...... So NO GOD DAMN AWESOME
Jello’s voice has the perfect blend of maniacal laughter and dark undertones in this song
i'm pretty sure this is the best thing in the entirety of creation
Absolutely! Jello`s quintessential,premier Swan Song! "But don`t tell him I said that"!!
You could be right...x
Meant an exclamation mark and not a kiss....
Oops! Sorry
Haha, hoho, heehee
If you consider the best thing in eternity by something so annoying that I'd rather have my head bitten off from this, then yes I think that checks out.
This is the sound of madness, just sit back and enjoy it.
I remember when Jello came to my college and did his motivational speeches. Was an amazing experience.
With earphones during the chours it sounds like someone is pounding/moaning in the back of your head (among other things). I love it.
Great version, really wicked!
this is brutal... and BRILLIANT! All 8 minutes of it...
I keep imagining The Warden from Superjail singing this song.
Best version of this song.
cheers jello for openin my mind all those years ago thanks for all your music over the years
This reminds me of some crazy mushroom trips we had back in the day crazy times. Great track.
This is utterly bizarre and I love it!!!!
I'm starting to question my sanity

this is like the best thing ever.
I never knew about Lard until I discovered a tape of theirs at goodwill for 50 cents.
Check out the witch trials
to the funny faaarm, where people are happy aaall the time!
THERES ALWAYS ROOM 4 JELLO!!!!!!
I love Mr Biafra and all his works.
MADNESS!!!
this songs awesome!
the original song was never able to have a copyright or something because it didnt contain any musical notes.
pretty cool lol
Wonderful. Love it. Thought it was from them, it really sticks to what they are, doesn'it?
JELLO RULES

Down with the quickness
More disturbing than the original
Indeed,probably meant to be!
No.
WHAT A CLEVER VERSION OF THIS SONG. TAKE AWAY THE LARD
love this song!!!!!
The original is by Napoleon XIV. I love this version though. But for once I will ask for thumbs up, only so that people can know about the original and listen to it. It's marvellous and deserves its credit.
Love this album
Wow, haven't heard this in a long time but always remembered the lyrics.
Agreed- Biafra's voice is ideal for this song.
CHEERS FROM CANADA,LOVED THESE GUYS SINCE THE 90S,AUSOME ALBUM,JUST SAW JELLO S NEW BAND THIS SUMMER,JUST AS GOOD,(THE GUATAMO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE)
if I play this song once more when my wife's around, she's going to divorce me. Can't blame her but this version rules
as a divorced man, it might be worth it!
I came here from Xisuma
If i'm not mistaken (correct me if i'm wrong) the original 7" of this song...the B side was the song in reverse?
THE POWER OF LARD... Jello rocks like no other :)
This is fucking crazy but I love it
No! This is what happens to your mother,if you REALLY misbehave! This is a remake on a really old tune my mother use to play :-)
1966 is not"really old" do behave!
I think 1966 qualifies as 'really old'.
@@Anacletusathonite16108 LOL, more than 50 years old is pretty old for a song... That is three generations
I searched this because my teacher was talking about it. Im scared now
@Patrick O´Connor:
Thanks a lot, Man,! More than trivia, this background story!
It gets scary towards the end....
Man this cover was so fucking perfect!
They're coming to take me away haha
They WOULD come to take you away.

Love that later part of this song where Jello just obsessively repeats the lyrics.
Wow... This. Is. AMAZING. THIS should be the original!!
the picture fits perfectly :)
This type of music would be perfect for a Halloween parade!🧟♀️
whatever you do, have a great time on mushrooms!

/end history lesson
perfect for king jello! :-)
If Jello wasn't such a good singer he would've made a brilliant cartoon vocalist!!!!
Das ist die Stimmung in Deutschland 2021....

Did Jello write the new lyrics?
Someone use this to make a JokerXHarley video
Meh!
@KuNGFoOCHaRLiE Dr. Demento - Funny Farm .. my dad used to be a DJ and I remember he had it on vinyl.
sinister but true ...have you heard the original?
Time to Melt, that's the one.
OPEN UP, WE GOT A WARRANT
Al Jourgensen + Jello Biafra must rule this world
@imnotmitchturino This is how this song was meant to be played. no fucking joke.
Al Jourgensen + Jello Biafra = Musical Bliss aka Lard~!!
@KuNGFoOCHaRLiE "Some 60's song"? "They're coming to take me away haha" is epic xD
Jello Biafra with or without the Dead KENNEDYS was always "edgy". This, I think, is "over the edgy"!!
@ArmpitNoises i can't even imagine wot u went thru wi that - hope u survived ok :)
Beautiful madness.....
Hohoheehahahoo
Haven't I seen him appear in the topical news quiz 'Have I Got News For You'?
Its lard man, a cover of some 60's song. Lard are awesome, check them out.
O.o .... Somehow it is almost scary!
Lard is great, though.
Murder
loL :)
@sherpa285 3 cheers for satori.
who from critikal livestream
Xuma?
And I thought Napoleon XIV was the Creepy version
This stuff is cracking me up! Makes you feel so high. The neuroticfish version is better in my opinion.
El original se titula ''Ya siento que vienen por mi'' interpretado por Alejandro Mitchell Talento el año 1964 (Chile)
Estás confundido.El original es de Napoleón XIV, de 1966. Alejandro Michel hizo una copia en español en ese mismo año y modificó la letra. Averigua.
What a great song take away the lard. I still don't like that it insults
The mentally disabled. Pray each day for these lovely people
is that a piece of lard???
black yo eye
JUST LAUGH HAH HA HEE HE HAH HA... ITS FREE you cough you spluuhg but HEY we'll all be HAPPY WHA HEYY! OOH free prescription drugs...... So NO GOD DAMN AWESOME
wow!!, i was lmao when i heard this version, he does it better than the original singer to this song. lard does the better version, for sure
Napoleon XIII did the original.
This is noisy.
