Les Claypool said in interview that he got the idea for this song from a beaver that startled him as he was walking back to his vehicle after a day of fishing.The song is written with deliberate innuendo in mind regarding the double entendre of the word beaver.
Best line of the song lyrics: "Along came Lou with the old baboon And said Recognize that smell? Smells like seven layers, That beaver eats Taco Bell." LMAO
Inadvertantly heard some modern country in a small retail store awhile back. It sounds exactly like the pop music. Not a big loss for me, but I was rather shocked how generic & samey not only music, but media in general, has become.
I'm lucky to have watched Primus 6 times live and claypool solo once. That being said, definitely one of the most entertaining shows you could ever see. The man is a lyrical genius and happens to be one of the best bassist of all time. The band is amazing
I was lucky enough to have seen them once. Never heard of them before that and Les came out and said “hey we’re Primus and we suck.” Instantly hooked lol.
I'm not a huge fan of Primus, that is to say that I really only like this song and a couple of others all hits. But holy shit is Les Claypool amazing on bass. He takes an under apricated instrument and makes it the star of the show. Simply incredible.
The absurdist artsy thing is always going to prevent them from making a connection with people the way a more earnestand sincere group will. The musicianship of all members is ceaselessly impressive though. They do at times make a point in their songs, but it's typically delivered with sarcasm and snark and dry humor. Sgt Baker and American Life are good examples.
How bout some love for the Antipop album??? Electric Uncle Sam, Greet the Sacred Cow, Mama Didn't Raise No Fool, Power Mad, The Final Voyage of the Liquid Sky. First Primus Album I owned back in the day.
"I was fly fishing with a friend of mine up in Lassen County (California), and the sun was going down and we were heading back to the car," he said. "He was off in one direction, and I went off in another direction. I come around this corner and I step into the creek. And just as I spied this thing, it spied me. It was this big, furry mass coming my way. It flipped and popped its tail and scared the s--t out of me, and I scared the s--t out of it. It was this giant beaver. I mean, it was huge. So it kind of got in my head. This big brown beaver, big brown beaver. Okay. Well, how can I make a song out of that? And then it became, 'Wynona's got herself a big brown beaver.' And from there it just built into this little mythological character that obviously had a little double entendre to it."
Damien Bafile Not THAT Korean war. Well, I guess TECHNICALLY that one, since it was still ongoing. That said, I don't think you can really say the US lost it - they got their asses beat, yeah, that's why you don't hear about it much compared to other wars. The Marines in particular suffered their worst defeat since the Fall of the Phillippines, and there was huge missteps across the board, that said - wars that someone wins don't technically last decades later. It was a stalemate. The US/UN went in to stop NK from overrunning the Pusan perimiter and unifying Korea - then when they found success and rolled back NK, they decided THEY would unite Korea, and rolled the NK right back up to the Yalu River - which prompted China to say "can u fucking not?" and wash over them like a tidal wave - rolling THEM back down South after which an uneasy stalemate formed. You can say "America lost the Korean war" because NOBODY won the Korean war - but NOBODY WON THE KOREAN WAR, so what would be the point of even saying it? It's both reductive to understanding the conflict, and inaccurate.

That bassplayer is Les Claypool, who's like the personification of Primus. He went to school with Kirk Hammett, and auditioned with Metallica on Kirk's recommendation. The rumour says Les was "too good", but frankly I think their tastes just differed too much. Les wasn't even into metal, and Metallica would soon turn Funkrocklica or something.

@@brianmadigan9938 Again mang couldn't agree with you more. I always considered them heavy funk. They are definitely in their own genre and Les....in my opinion is the best bass player ive ever seen.
Fun fact, Tim "Herb" Alexander's bass drum says "Buck Naked & The Bare Bottom Boys". Its an actual band from the bay area that Les was good friends with. They put it in the video to pay tribute to Buck; who was tragically killed by a drunk driver while walking his dog in the early morning.
From the Wikipedia article "Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys", "The band's career came to an abrupt end in 1992 when Phillip Bury [aka Buck Naked] was shot and killed while walking his dog in Golden Gate Park's Panhandle by a cab driver named Michael Kagan, who had for many years fed pigeons there."
On the situation comedy show, Seinfeld, George Castanza (can't stand ya, like his gym teacher used to call him! Hahaha!) once said if he were to become a porn star, he would use the name Buck Naked. Wishful thinking there, George, what with all the plain looking, balding, 'thick' porn stars out there, Hahaha!
Jamel, I’ve been watching your Rush reactions for months. You are awesome! Been a Rush fan for 40 years, but my first Rush concert was in 1992 at the Dean Dome in UNC, NC...the opening act...was Primus! These guys are phenomenal musicians with so much humor, I laugh hysterically when I hear them. I also laughed all through this reaction! Your expressions are priceless! 😃
@@nomimalone7520 I've seen Primus several times and when I saw them the first time I told myself there was no way they would be tight live, the music is too loose, but I was totally wrong, one of the tightest bands ever
Primus is one of the weirdest bands I've ever seen. Talking about puppies, eating pudding and cheese, throwing mud, cat's named Tommy, and racer's named Jerry.
Fun fact: the video was recorded along to the music being played at half speed, so when the footage was sped up to the correct playback speed the movements would look extra jerky and unnatural.
I've been a primus fan for almost 20 years and the first time I heard that that's exactly what I thought too. They ARE a wtf band. Funky old-school bass riffs coupled with bluegrass a taste of metal and storylines that fit the music.
I first saw that video while high. The 90s were weird. I know. I was there. Edit: if that video hadn’t been so weird, I don’t think it would be been on heavy rotation on MTV. The band could NOT have gotten away with playing it straight.
I've been going back through your catalog of videos and came across this gem. Bro when you stopped the video and just looked into the camera, I was laughing my ass off. Watching you try process the weirdness that is Primus was awesome. Thanks for making my day.
I had listened to this song earlier today and it was still stuck in my head for quite some time afterwards; So much so that I was walking to the supermarket in the same style as these three do at 0:58 😄
I love that you're doing Primus. Just a bunch of great musicians trying to make the wierdest music they can and bring tha funk at the same time. Try "Shake Hands With Beef". Wierd and Funky.
Agreed, it appears to me that much like myself the guys in Primus just want to enjoy life and do what do(and they do it well) with drama and constant need to be serious and let having fun become a memory! Its not easy trust me, but if you are one of those people like i "was" that cares way to much what other think about you, u absolutely by whatever means necessary have to lose that part of your person because im hear to tell you if and when u do, say hello to life and living, cause you've never met them before! Thats how i see these guys, they obviously have lost or never had that Demon to deal with cause im pretty sure they don't give a rats ass what u think about them! If they did there's a chance a couple of their songs would not exist! That would b tragic! lol
It won a Grammy, I was at my in-laws house watching the show with my father in law who read the name of the song on the screen and laughed his kiwis off. Claypool was laughing his kiwis off when it was announced they had won.
This is the SOUTH PARK theme song band....Les Claypool is an AMAZING bassist and lyrically different, but in a catchy way. Great reaction for a birthday gift,so thank you
Talent, jamming music and hilarious lyrics and great performers. Psalm in concert a few years back and it was incredible, one guy playing the whiskey jug jumping around the stage barefoot. The real deal.
I love your reaction videos of Primus!! lol That guy is the most talented bass player ever but you are right, they have a huge WTF factor. I highly reccomend trying to see them live if you can, it is awesome live!

That first look you give the camera... Hahaha! I've never understood Primus fans, but i saw Primus live once at a festival, and though i don't "get" the music, it was a very entertaining show! LOL
PRIMUS is an American alternative metal band from San Francisco that composed and performed the South Park theme. The frontman of the group, Les Claypool, sings the lyrics.
Im so happy watching you listen to Primus!!!.....You gonna remember this band for the rest of your life..........this Is the top of the music piramide my friend!!!
I heard somewhere that when Metallica was auditioning bass players after Cliff died that Les Claypool was one of the ones they brought in. The studio sessions would have been nuts.

Yeah, the playing and composition is outstanding so I can. Lol
John Carolina but that’s not really what the Grammys are all about... so I also find it kind of hard to believe.
It won a Grammy, I was at my in-laws house watching the show with my father in law who read the name of the song on the screen and laughed his kiwis off. Claypool was laughing his kiwis off when it was announced they had won.
Puns
Got to do Primus’ “Tommy the Cat” or “Jerry was a Race Car Driver”
John the Fisherman, My Name is mud...
Remember Primus was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance with this song in 1996.
This is the SOUTH PARK theme song band....Les Claypool is an AMAZING bassist and lyrically different, but in a catchy way.
Great reaction for a birthday gift,so thank you
Happy Birthday Tim🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@jamelakajamal thank you sir, for that, and keep on trucking with the reactions....love the way you do them.
Les made the theme song for south park and is the guy playing in the intro.
Awesome
He also did the Robot Chicken theme
also did a song "the beves and butthead show"
Danethxx what
Your first pause is EXACTLY why I love PRIMUS!!
Awesome. I'm not a Primus fan myself but I'm amazed to hear you say they suck. (From The Green Jelly video) and I'm here for that.
Primus sucks 🤘
(Only real primus fans would get this 😄)
Jon Laird Primus Sucks!
Primus sucks!
hey hey, not true, fans of Kurt angle will get it too. oh it's true, it's DaRN true.
Wow! That's totally original
I heard that Les has grown less fond of it.
I don't think a more accurate response to Primus has ever been uttered: "It's like nothin' I ever thought I'd hear in my life". PERFECT!
Talent, jamming music and hilarious lyrics and great performers. Psalm in concert a few years back and it was incredible, one guy playing the whiskey jug jumping around the stage barefoot. The real deal.
I gotta say, I'm a reaction video freak, you have the best diversity and the best songs in your archive, I love you bro you golden.
Les sounds like ripping off the chords from his bass, especially here. Monstrous genius, he is... really is indeed!
there were rumors and celebrity fights that this was about Wynona Rider.
The lead singer dated her for a while
@@stevenbenson9976 really??
I thought that it was about Wynonna Judd.
Yep, it was.
@@stevenbenson9976 didn't know that.
You had me rolling bawhahha. Awesome 👍 how you held it together this song has always cracked me up.
I love your reaction videos of Primus!! lol That guy is the most talented bass player ever but you are right, they have a huge WTF factor. I highly reccomend trying to see them live if you can, it is awesome live!
Such a surreal band, that's what initially attracted me to their music.. they're definitely original af.
Jamel man, you the coolest dude on UA-cam. You rock !!!. Loving Primus brother
I loved how much fun their videos were. Classic
I guess Les Claypool auditioned for Metallica. James was like, "Yeah, you definitely got your own thing going...".
say sandman do you wanna lay down by me?
@@whitestripesftw By my side? Say SANDMAN, say SANDMAN!?!?!?
Les went to high school with Kirk Hammett and they stayed in touch
Les was like: you guys want to jam some Isley Brothers tunes?
Meaning he was beyond James lol
I’d love to see you react to some Jane’s Addiction!
Mountain Song
Jane Says
Ted... Just Admit It
Three Days (live in Milan, if possible)
Stop!
Been Caught Stealing
Standing In The Shower... Thinking
Thank you helping me smile today.
Primus I love but your reactions, expressions and perceptions got me laughing my ass off. Awesome. Subscribed!
That candy he put up his nose was also not really candy.
What was it?
@Joe Lee I was just kidding. The original post struck me as weird. Yes, everyone knows it wasn't sugary candy.
Booger Sugar!!!
👀
That the good good good
The singer is the same dude that does the “South Park” theme song (the earlier versions).
The voice and the bass.
Robot chicken too.
Not just a singer the entire band.
Lmbo!!! One of best reactions ever!! Love it!
One of my favorite videos you've done. So very cool.
A lot of people these days are VERY late to the Primus party.
So was I just a few years ago.
Welcome aboard
Same here Chuck. What the hell was I doing? Ugh.
I started three weeks ago
PRIMUS SUCKS!
Jane's Addiction, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Primus: The most influential and least known bands of the late 80's and early 90's
Kjell Ove who did Primus influence? I enjoy them, but literally no other band sounds remotely like them
Dude flipper, or ween?
Cartoon for one.
MUST include Morphine and My Bloody Valentine. In fact my top three nineties albums are Morphine's The Night, My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and Primus' Pork Soda.
Oh, AND Ween's Pure Guava.
Jamal...I so much enjoyed your reaction to Primus!....Priceless!...I had tears in my eyes watching you...You're doin' a good job with your channel...Keep it up...
That first look you give the camera... Hahaha! I've never understood Primus fans, but i saw Primus live once at a festival, and though i don't "get" the music, it was a very entertaining show! LOL
Straight from the Duracell battery commercials of the 80s
Hate to disappoint, but the song is about a woman that actually owned a pet beaver.
I think you'll find it was a porcupine *spoiler*.
PRIMUS is an American alternative metal band from San Francisco that composed and performed the South Park theme. The frontman of the group, Les Claypool, sings the lyrics.
Im so happy watching you listen to Primus!!!.....You gonna remember this band for the rest of your life..........this Is the top of the music piramide my friend!!!
You should dig up the Woodstock footage of Primus covering Metallica’s “Master of Puppets”. Les plays the guitar leads on his bass.
inkstainz2277 broooooo that shit is insane.
I heard somewhere that when Metallica was auditioning bass players after Cliff died that Les Claypool was one of the ones they brought in.
The studio sessions would have been nuts.
