I love how just about every comment here is relevant to when this album first came out like 16 years ago! Makes me feel so nostalgic even though I was still unaware of Claypool back in '06.
I have listened to this over and over and over. All the way across Nebraska from the Iowa line to Wyoming once. And then I wished there were more Nebraska.
Without Les Claypool, I wouldn't be a musician. Much less would I be the bass player that I am today. Other than Carl Sagan, Les is the only individual that has profoundly changed my life. Great guy and an unreal bassist, long live sir Claypool
people think he's a smug asshole for no reason, but it's actually because he's worked his ass off to go from being a goof ball in a loser band to being a legend of bass guitar
No one gives Les one better on the bass. Holy shit I love this song its one of his best. One Better, Buzzards of Green HIll, Red State Girl, Ding Dang, Beezlebub (w/ Beats Anique where he basically ruins the electronic genre),. The Big Eyeball in the Sky, Thai Noodles, Hendershot, Stayin Alive (cover), ec, many Primus greats, Jerry, Wynona, Mud, Tommy, John, Harold, Frizzle, Groundhog. ect ect ect ect Claypool is the one better.
*travels to this video comment in a little red time spaceship from the far away year of 2019.* ......myup. Sure don't miss none of those things. *Puts back on spaceman goggles and flies away*
The video is an excerpt of the short "Kontsert porgandipirukale" (Concert for a Carrot Pie) (2002) by Heiki Ernits and Janno Põldma, so hardly this video is official. Anyway both things, animation and music are great.
Wow, this video was posted 17 years ago. Same with the John the Fisherman video. Just goes to show how much people are into Les Claypool. Primus sucks!
Tales from the Punchbowl and Frizzle Fry are indirct refrences from Primus. Barrington Hall is another from The Frog Brigade. Barrington Hall was famous for having parties with LSD spiked punch. Claypool was a fan of such parties.
Les gets his appeal not because of how well he can play, but because he plays so well while making his awesome sound. He's not the best out there. By no means is he the best out there. He is the most origional though.
You name all great bassist's, but none of them are as affluent or innovative as Les Claypool. I would listen to him over those guys any day of the week.
This video wont make you do hard drugs, but its what you are most likely to see if you do, :) Primus might suck, but Les sure does not, this is good shit!
Yes, but Les plays the ol slap and tickle unlike most bass players. His strumming method combined with his slapping is what makes his ish hard to copy. That and he is a freak of nature. :)
You know what would be cool? If Les formed a superband with Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammet. Apparently they were good friends in high school. That would kick some ass.
This song/music video made me happy during my teen angst era in high school. Thanks Les!
Original video is "Kontsert porgandipirukale" (Concert for a Carrot Pie)
Les Claypool is amazing! This song is amazing! Any sound that comes out of Les Claypool's bass is amazing! =)
He played all the drums on this album too.
Hope you spit up your coffee when you read that.

Yea feels like time machine in a way, likeni stumbled on some hidden time treasure
Les Claypool is a human cartoon character so awesome song.
Beyonce, I'm real happy for ya, and Imma let'cha finish, but Les Claypool has the greatest music video of all time. Of all time!
I love the song and thank you for the upload. Learn it on bass and you'll feel so much better. Pete approved.
awesome psychadelic funk groove... Am not a fan of les claypool myself but this song really rocks
This is my favorite song on the Of Whales and Woe album. Fantastic stuff.
I have listened to this over and over and over.
All the way across Nebraska from the Iowa line to Wyoming once.

You my friend, are my hero. Thanks for the upload.
The ultimate *UFO technology* video ;D
And what a tune!!!!!!
I will give you one better
It's this underground drug called "practice." He's been on it for 35 years.
@BoulderBro999 why? No, Ler is awesome, Lars is the drummer for Metallica.
@BoulderBro999 why? Ah, I see.
people think he's a smug asshole for no reason, but it's actually because he's worked his ass off to go from being a goof ball in a loser band to being a legend of bass guitar
Wow. Best video I have seen to date for anything done by Les.
Claypool es un maestro !!!!!!
Les Claypool is an absolute legend and I feel his time is still to come
No one gives Les one better on the bass.
Holy shit I love this song its one of his best. One Better, Buzzards of Green HIll, Red State Girl, Ding Dang, Beezlebub (w/ Beats Anique where he basically ruins the electronic genre),. The Big Eyeball in the Sky, Thai Noodles, Hendershot, Stayin Alive (cover), ec, many Primus greats, Jerry, Wynona, Mud, Tommy, John, Harold, Frizzle, Groundhog. ect ect ect ect
Claypool is the one better.

*travels to this video comment in a little red time spaceship from the far away year of 2019.* ......myup. Sure don't miss none of those things. *Puts back on spaceman goggles and flies away*
I posted the 420th rating!!! I'm awesome!!!! But on a more serious note, this song sounds like an auditory dream. Incredible.
i'm seeing him on monday i can't wait
creativity in its unrestrained form.....tends to come out something like this
I like the music'n'all, learning alot of it, but his videos really creep me out ^^
Extraordinary animation and music.
The video is an excerpt of the short "Kontsert porgandipirukale" (Concert for a Carrot Pie) (2002) by Heiki Ernits and Janno Põldma, so hardly this video is official. Anyway both things, animation and music are great.
It's good. It compliments the music and lyrics.
dang man great stuff! les is a hero!
Actually, he did, and he admitted it.
What?
les is the best hands down
@ManDudeYeah He's the best bassist, I love listening to him.
damn. this is funky as hell. its crazy funky
On the 8th Day, God said "im gonna get me one better"...... so he created Les Claypool.....
yeah i agree, he's gotta be the best.
Wow!! Magnifique!
very good ! :) thank,s to LesClaypool
Damn the beggining of this song is funky as hell
Im Seeing him in Concert 29 days!!!!!!, SO STOKED
You simply cannot get "one better" than Les.
the family benefeits through working together...the bugs benefeit through competition...the sun and moon evened out through karma
There is a shitload of Zappa in that man.
Bless you, Claypool for never compromising your gloriously bizarre perspective.
You can't compare them they each had their own styles and any way Cliff died when he was young he still could have even greater than he already was.
DANGER! That would be too EXTREEEEEEEEEEEME!
Wow, this video was posted 17 years ago. Same with the John the Fisherman video. Just goes to show how much people are into Les Claypool. Primus sucks!
Bad-ass song ever made, and a really cute video!
25 people can't give even 0.5 better...
Oh man i remember when these types of comments were popular
Tales from the Punchbowl and Frizzle Fry are indirct refrences from Primus. Barrington Hall is another from The Frog Brigade.
Barrington Hall was famous for having parties with LSD spiked punch. Claypool was a fan of such parties.
Yea, just felt like saying Primus sucks for old times sake ;) Grats on the concert, I need to catch Claypool sometime soon...it's been awhile.
I gotta watch this high.
God bless the fucking bass in this song!!!! Les Claypool, what a guy!!
nearly the best bass solo i've ever heard, by the way nice animation
this tastes great!
im gonna give you one better:) yeah les live!
OOOHHH SHWEET MAN THANKS!
I read the video has a connection with Les always wanting to become a childrens novel writer.
Im pretty happy he decided to take music.
all bickering aside,..... this is one trippy cartoon, and bassline!
Yeah man, this song and (John the fisher man) my fav lol.. good stuff...... Primus sux ......
dude, i believe in religion now xDDDDD
PRAISE GRAND MASTER CLAYPOOL!
This is a very good song.
makes me wanna dance!
Who animated this??
i had a "bad" trip like this once, but with the blue smurf dudes, it wasnt bad, but the fact that i had it was awesome
I just saw him in Dallas... he's awesome!
The video/animation contest posted on his website ends July 2nd.

Les gets his appeal not because of how well he can play, but because he plays so well while making his awesome sound. He's not the best out there. By no means is he the best out there. He is the most origional though.
I'd use this to introduce my kids to TV.
It sounds a lot like the frog brigade though, Trust me i've seen em live and have all their cd's, including all primus cd's as well.
LE lapin me fait kiffer^^
LMAO! great video.
cool bass tone
yes it does,an awesome solo it is i might add
Lol, nice Jason, nice.
You name all great bassist's, but none of them are as affluent or innovative as Les Claypool. I would listen to him over those guys any day of the week.
mmm funky goodness
les eres el mejor eres inspirador
chido
i love twisted stuff, aphex twin and stuff...but this is another dimention of soulsickness
This video wont make you do hard drugs, but its what you are most likely to see if you do, :)
Primus might suck, but Les sure does not, this is good shit!
wtf, its so epic!
lol coolest video ever
Yes, but Les plays the ol slap and tickle unlike most bass players. His strumming method combined with his slapping is what makes his ish hard to copy. That and he is a freak of nature. :)
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THIS VIDEO! not really, i just wanted to be one of those people who thinks they are a philosipher on youtube...
yes les yes les yes les yes les yes les yes les yes les yes les yesyesyesyesyes
YES !! ^^ That's what I'm talking about... :)
YES !! ^^ That's what I'm talking about....
THE SOLO!!!
Les Claypool makes zero sense but the man is a musical genius...
yes...yes it is
Les Claypool animated this, i agree with u that this is a cool song =P
HAHAHA!!! Awesome!
Check out Earth Blues by Hendrix. Both of them rock.
You know what would be cool? If Les formed a superband with Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammet. Apparently they were good friends in high school. That would kick some ass.
