“You never know just how you look thru other people’s eyes” is the lyric that resonates for sure.
or "how to look" he says as well.
My mom was actually good friends w/ the lead singer in high school. Both grew up in San Antonio. It’s not everyday that your mom says “son, you ever heard of a band called the Butthole Surfers?”…
Well, son, a funny thing about regret is that it's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.
@@winstonmarlowe5254 in this case followed by: and by the way if you see your father this weekend be sure and tell him..."
@@caesarjergens Satan satan satan...
My favorite story about gibby is that one of my favorite people (Keith Morris) was backstage and Gibby was cutting up 3ft lines of coke. Then said "hey Morty go for one"
That's awesome! Knowing the fact that Gibby Haynes was one crazy motherf*cker 🤣
That heavily distorted guitar and lyrics wandering over a landscape of existential aimlessness are soooooo mid-90s. That time was such a vibe.
Lex - "Imagine surfing on a butthole", lol. The mind of Lex. Brad's look of utter bewilderment, lmao.
I fucking busted out laughing when she said that.
Brad is never bored with Lex around. 😉 I love the way her brain processes information.
I had the same look.
It's an evocative band name, it really challenges you to conjure a mental image. You're just not sure what the hell you're supposed to conjure.
😅
There was a period when these guys were known as 'Your favorite band's favorite band.' They were -never- going to be a huge commercial success, and they really didn't care. Even named themselves something that you just couldn't say on TV. Watching news anchors squirm while complaining about 'The BH Surfers' was always good for a laugh. Even better when one of them actually managed to -say- 'butthole' on air. They were an amazing band that did whatever they felt like and ran with it.
Sometimes I think Lex’s laugh and Brad’s confused expressions are my favorite parts of every video. :)
That opening question, look, and laugh were perfect.
they ARE my favourite parts 😂😂😂😶😶😶
I do agree! Classic comment!
Lol same
Brad is definitely confused most the time...
Butthole Surfers are a very under rated band from that era. They are amazing.
It's generally about the falling, failing youth. They outline all the stereotypical deaths - the football player/predator, the girl commiting suicide, the one who gets drunk/high and is killed/injured by a train, the AIDS death (caught a nasty virus), etc.
And the thought that when you are young, nothing will touch you. You can't die because you know all and are all.
"I was not ready for this." Perfect first reaction to the Butthole Surfers.
Strongly recommend Who Was In My Room Last Night by this band. Absolutely freakin' KILLER guitar riffs.
Also Dust Devil!
Dust Devil big up!
Fuck yea.....
Can't hear that song without thinking of Beavis and Butthead!
Completely agree!!!
Lexi: "This is like Cake, Sublime, and RHCP all in one...." She's so on point, it's scary...God-given talent, I'm tellin' ya.
Butthole Surfers predate all of these bands by at least a decade - they are all pale imitations.
@@sea-ferring BS only predates RCHP by 2 years, Sublime by 7
the only one that is "at least a decade" is Cake which is exactly 10 years in 1991
@@nim4464 Yes yes. You caught me exaggerating. The point is that Cake, Sublime, and RHCP wish they could operate on the same level as Butthole Surfers. Mentioning them in the same breath shows how bad the OPs musical IQ is.
FLEA WAS IN THE VIDEO FOR WHO WAS IN MY ROOM LAST NIGHT 🎸
Exactly! I can't believe I haven't heard of these guys. As soon as she said that I subscribed.
Brad you don't look weird - you have a charming smile - and Lex - you look very comfortable in front of the camera - that's why you make a great pair to watch. Thanks for posting this one.
Thank you 🙏🏽🎉
@@BradAndLex I’ll back Jedd up on this. Neither of you look foolish with your ass showing.
But the lyric is you NEVER know how you look through other people’s eyes. So worrying about it, cause you’re never gonna know. 😄
That is one thing that I've noticed is that guys don't really get complimented enough so we really don't know how we look.
@@BradAndLex i think you are experiencing the same problem artists have. artists are sometimes unsatisfied with their work while everyone else thinks it is great because the audience sees what they created and the artist sees how different it is from what they had in their mind. the camera captures a sliver of who you are and you don't entirely control what sliver that is. when you watch yourself, you see what it isn't capturing of you while your audience just takes what is presented at face value.
Love the Surfers. Human Cannonball, 22 Going on 23, Something, Bar-B-Que Pope among others. Fantastic band.
This song and "Loser" by Beck are such a good double feature on 90s alt playlists.
I was about to say that
I think I always thought this was a Beck song too
You can pretty much swap out the chorus and the stanzas and they still sound like a damn good song.
They are so similar that I always thought this song was from Beck.
I saw Butthole Surfers open for Nirvana in 94. Surfers played an epic set, with a slide show about the Tuskeegee Syphillis Experiment playing for a nearly all white audience. I went in a Nirvana fan. Came out a Surfers fan, & Electriclarryland and Independent Worm Saloon stil get 2-1 play in my rotation compared to Nirvana's peak albums.
I've totally forgotten about this band💡 for years I've been thinking this was a song from Beck.
They came to Birmingham, AL to play in the late 80’s. Local radio would only refer to them as “The B. H. Surfers, live in concert”
"You never know just how you look through other peoples eyes"
Omg…you started with that! 😂😂😂😂😂
Yup they have more songs!
One of my favs of all time is "Who was in my Room Last Night" One of the best guitar riffs ever conceived. You just cant play it without donning a proper stink face and rock guitar stance.
“Detachable Penis” by King Missile. Lyrics are pretty straightforward
Nice pick! I love that song. It's a bit absurd, and done in a wonderfully understated way.
Best song!
Damn you beat me to it.
God why didn’t I find this reaction sooner??? Along with Detachable Penis, I would’ve also recommended a couple songs by the Dead Milkmen: Punk Rock Girl, and Bitchin Camaro. 😂
In high school I actually got a “Bitchin Camaro!” For my 16th birthday (in ‘91) I got a 1990 Camaro RS. ♥️🔥
Think I was exposed to most of these songs from Beavis And Butthead.
They are from San Antonio, Texas! Im from the Central Texas region. . Ive seen them before. They remind me of Cake, Beck, Nada Surf. Odd group style and funny! Brad will like them lol. Yes, spoken word, rap/rock, psychedelic rock. Alt rock. Unique group. You should see their videos, too. Very weird and funny. Im sure yall have heard this song on radio or tv (movies, shows). This was huge back in the '90s, '00s. Song is sarcastic approach to avoiding death lol. Call it GenXer humor!
This song dominated the summer of 1996. In fact, according to Billboard magazine, it was the #1 Alternative song of 1996, beginning its three-week run at #1 on the Alternative chart on July 6, 1996. It was also one of the Top 100 Mainstream Rock songs of 1996, coming in at #77 on that year-end chart. It never charted on the Hot 100, though, because it was never released as a single for sale, and airplay-only songs did not qualify for the Hot 100 until the end of 1998. Amazingly, however, it did reach the Top 40 on the Hot 100 Airplay (supplemental) chart, peaking at #27 on July 27, 1996. It also barely missed the Top 40 on the Radio & Records CHR Airplay chart, peaking at #42 on August 16, 1996. This means that some brave Top 40 stations gave this song airplay in spite of the band's name.
It’s a great song, always has been one of my favorites.
Crazy hooks in lyrics and psychedelic guitar parts.
1996’ had some very awesome music but I’m not surprised this song dominated.
Love your videos Brad and Lex!
I was 12 when it came out and I LOVED this song. Well, here I am 27 years later and watching other people listen to it. I played it for my 14yo a couple months ago and he likes it too.
Ya Lex I totally hear you with the Cake-Sublime-RHCP mashup and you could probably mix some Beck in there as well. Great tune.
I only disagree about RHCP, but I don't really like them... I'd throw soul coughing in the list though
I have a very fond memory of Junior Year Art class, first period with Ms. Althoff. She turned on the radio, this came on, and we all sang it at the top of our lungs. Lex's description is a good one. It's soooo 90s.
That intro! 😂😀🤣😅 We were just dying over here, watching that over and over for like 20 minutes! Lex' look, like "did I go too far this time?" LMAO! Brad looking like he's questioning his life choices, hahaha! The chemistry you two have is what makes you guys the best.
😂😂 i was laughing reading this comment lol you’re the best!
@@BradAndLexI think we can call it Lexploring. Even if she goes too far, it's all in the name of art 😌 Lex is the risk and adventure that makes life fun
I never thought about their name that way growing up. I actually thought it meant like, "These Surfers are being some REAL Buttholes!" This has made me look at their name a whole new way after all these years! LOL!! :)
Riding skateboards , surfing, and bmx on Newport Beach in the late ,70s early 80s. This and red hot chili peppers were jammed by that alternative croud of social misfits like myself !
I always thought this song sounded like a song Beck would have done back in the day
Reminded me of Beck alot, sound's like he caught some influence from them
sound just like loser by beck
I loved this song. I have it on one of my playlists now
Jerome Martin "Jerry" Haynes (January 31, 1927 - September 26, 2011) was an American actor from Dallas, Texas. He is most well known as Mr. Peppermint, a role he played for 30 years as the host of one of the longest-running local children's shows in television, the Dallas-based Mr. Peppermint (1961-1969). He was the father of Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes. Just a bit from Wikipedia.
Lex " Can you imagine surfing on a butthole ". The constipated look on Brad's face. LMFAO !
Awesome, Butthole Surfers!! Welcome to stoner rock.
Their music covers a WIDE variety of styles.
Y'all are great reactors and look good @ the same time. Seriously.
Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers did produce Sublime's self titled album.
The Butthole Surfers have been around since 1981. I bought my first Butthole Surfers record in 1985. This song is from the mid 90s, WAY later in their career. You should start with their first album ‘Pee Pee The Sailor/A Brown Reason To Live’, then go on from there to ‘Psychic … Powerless … Another Man’s Sac’, as well as their EP ‘Cream Corn From The Socket Of Davis’. Other great Butthole Surfers albums are ‘Rembrandt Pussyhorse’, ‘Locust Abortion Technician’, and ‘Hairway To Steven’. They were basically the punk rock Grateful Dead; as they and their fans were heavily into psychedelics. I’ve seen them many times since the 80s, all over the country. They are one of my favorite bands.
I never....NEVER thought i would here this song reacted to. You guys are Awesome.
The Annoying Song is one of their best ! The Ollie they referenced is Oliver North.
These guys were noise rock and many legends of the 90s enjoyed em
Pure 90s Alternative Rock goodness. Check out "Who Was In My Room Last Night" by them.
Best intro yet!!! Lex is so adorable!
Gibby , King Coffee, and Mr Leary make Me proud to be a Texan! I was actually at a Butthole Surfers concert in Austin, where a dude jumped up on the stage, grabbed the mic from Gibbys’ hand , and yelled :” MY TONGUE IS A BUTT HOLE SURFER!”
"Cake, Sublime, and RHCP mixed together." Flawless description of this song.
Two seconds in am i'm cracking up.
I’m almost 40 and I grew up as a kid in Dallas watching the lead singer’s dad on a local kid’s show called Mr Peppermint. Such a stark contrast to his son’s music about bootyhole.
So they missed an even better band name: Peppermint Bootyhole.
yes when someone calls someone a butthole or god forbid an asshole, they are clearly talkimg about that person's booty hole.
@@JungleCrook the band name isn’t calling anyone either of those
@@TonsMoreCowbell yea u missed the point but its ok
@@JungleCrook nope
Love the Buttoned surfers you should check out "Who was in my room"
Ministry... Jesus Built My Car.
“Jesus Built My Hotrod” (It was a love affair, but mainly Jesus and my Hotrod. Yeah…f@&$ it…)
Lex is hilarious lol
I'm enjoying the wide variety of music you react too, some of these songs I haven't heard or thought about in years
When I was 20 (late 80's) I saw them live upstate NY. Life changing. "Blind Eye See All" DVD and YT clips will show you what a live show was like in the late 80's.
I clicked immediately on the video to see what Lex would say about their name. I'm the opposite of disappointed
My favorite BH song is Who Was In My Room Last Night? Very heavy compared to this but insanely catchy and rocking and fun.
It's songs like this that makes me miss the Early to mid '90s these weird quirky songs that could only exist back then that became hits
I always considered it as a Tribute to people who they have known who have died. A similar concept would be Jim Carrol's "People Who Died".
All their songs are "odd". And fun and awesome! "Pepper" has big time Beck "Loser" vibes
with some School Of Fish thrown in
@@djC653 love School of Fish!😁
@@Elizabeth-yp8re their 3 Strange Days has guitar sounds kinda like this song does.
@@djC653 it must bc don't remember this song tho at the same time there's something familiar about it. it's definitely a good song. digging it!
Also a little of ‘the 3 ep’s’ by the beta band
The outro, and the guitar solo, is the best part of the song. Great track.
This whole song sounds like a chant in front of a genie's lamp while sipping on raspberry lemonade.
I'd put it up there with 'Beck'... great song!!! ✌️😎
Man, I love you guys! So fun!
Growing up Gen X, we were constantly being told the world was ending. The Cold war was still on, so there was the constant threat of nuclear war. There were environmental crisis's, financial crisis's, and political crisis's. As adults we made nihilistic music.
Dang...that makes a lot of sense. Never thought of it that way.
Crises. The plural of crisis
Can't wait to read the comments on this one : ) I was confused AF when this one came out too. But it does have a good vibe
This is about their experiences on the punk scenes in Texas in the late 80s and early 90s. They were into trippy hip hop style but broke up shortly after this song. They do have an interesting Beck like version of American Woman. They’re something though.
Dude, I don’t think you know what your talking about. Gibby and Paul are still friends, and could put out a BHS album anytime. They put out a few albums after this.
They were NOT a “trippy hip hop style” band; not even close. You don’t know what you’re talking about
BS were a punk band which combined different styles
I saw the BH Surfers at Lolapalooza a long, long time ago (same show I saw Ice-T and Bodycount). The only thing I really remember is Gibby coming out on stage with a pump shotgun. He started firing it, evidently they were blanks. But yeah, it was pretty crazy.
Brad is confused while Lex just rocks out. Love you two
Hey what's up guys! Greetings from South Florida! Way back in the day, I was in a Metal band called Vengenz. And we hung out with this Punk band called The F Boys. Their lead singer got me into this band. This band is just crazy, I love it! You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
“Can you imagine surfing a butthole?” That’s called salad tossing…
I remember in middle school having all these alternative bands written on my jansport backpack,in hindsight having butthole surfers on there might not have been the best idea 😆
The visual images Lex plaints of actually surfing a butthole made an awesome segue into the song.....which paints enough strange visual images on its own!
Gibby Haynes' father was Mr. Peppermint on television in North Texas, decades ago.
People used to say he hated his son's music. The truth is, he loved his son and his son's accomplishments.
I’ve seen this band around 15 times. This is like a kinda like a G rated song of theirs. They have a ton of albums. They were around for a long time. This was their only hit. Some other recommendations are human cannonball, who was in my room last night, anything from the Hairway to Steven album and Anything from Locust Abortion Technician. Basically they were a punk type band but they used to drive around the country and Eat acid every day and set shit on fire. One year they had a stripper with them on tour that used to take her clothes off and she had these metal teeth. I can’t even get started on the videos they played behind them when they played on stage.
Very jealous, would’ve loved to see them live
Yeah, they're watching her, She's an absolute GEM!
The song's about Gibby Haynes school life in Dallas, and some of the people who were at that school.
You're one of my favorite reaction channels -- if not my favorite. (There are a handful of ones I like a lot, but you're the only one I make sure I check out every day. Ha) Either way, for something different and very cool: try the band "Avett Brothers" and, maybe, the following songs:
1. Murder in the City
2. Live and Die
3. Head Full Of Doubt/Road Full Of Promise
4. No Hard Feelings
Just some ideas. Something fresh, interesting, and very well-done. Some of the best song-writing around.
One of their 'milder' tracks - try "Who was in my room last night" for a very different feel... There's an amusing cable show on CZcams (it'd be easy to find but I forget what it's called) with the Beastie Boys when they were a punk band, and Butthole Surfers freaking out on acid - worth a watch! 😊
That was easily the greatest intro! Lex's commentary, Brad's reaction and facial expression... priceless!
The sound/style of this song has always reminded me of Beck's song Loser. Just for fun, you should check out 88 Lines About 44 Women by The Nails.
More Generation X alternative rock! Nada Surf, Cake, Beck, Pixies, The Breeders, Dinoasaur JR, Janes Addiction, Incubus, The Flaming Lips, Hole, No Doubt, Local H, The Offspring, RHCP, The Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Weezer, Silversun Pickups, Throwing Muses, Luscious Jackson, Muse, The Jesus Lizard and a whole bunch more! '80s, '90s, '00s alternative rock. Go react to them right now.
Yes Nada Surf is so underrated!!
Top notch psychedelic guitars on this one.
It’s interesting to see people try to come to terms with this song, for when it came out, I just accepted it as another cool song.
Also, watching your reaction here reminded me of another cool song about death: People Who Died by Jim Carroll Band. I be interested in your reaction to that.
People Who Died by The Jim Carroll Band is a great punk song from 1980!
I was just thinking about that song and couldn't remember the artist , thanks !
tru...Jim Carroll was a special band... Catholic Boy.. what an album!!!
And Eddie I miss more than all the others! And I salute you brother!!!
Definitely watch because of both of you. You guys both bring something different and seem genuinely like good people.
I've always hummed/sang that chorus as a kid, it's one of the songs that just has this mesmerizing hook for a chorus--even through Nu-metal era broke out in the late-90s (I was already a freshmen when it started) I still hummed/sang that chorus just because it was so hummable and catchy.
That comment on the texture & surfing was hilarious!! Even better was the look on Brad's face!
I seriously thought Brad's head was gonna spin around, like in The Exorcist, trying to figure out this song!
Oh, and Brad, you're right, we are looking at Lex. We love ya brother, but you don't look like Lex does! ☺👍
I really can’t tell if that’s a Himalayan lamp or your couch is on fire 🔥🤣
Cracks me up. (Get it!!)
Along with Lex, I've long wondered if it was butthole SURFERS or BUTTHOLE surfers. Her take is certainly the funnier. I'm in stitches.
Other funny-named bands are Smegma & The Nuns, Fetchin' Bones and Rolling Beach Beetles. Band names are some of the best two and three word poetry in English. Reminds me of Beck.
Love this band - check out "The Wooden Song", "Birds" and "Tiny Rubberband" (w/Moby)
🤘 started in San Antonio, TX at Trinity Univeristy.
This is why they started using the classification Alternative Rock. Rock music spread in so many different directions, not everything could be put into a box
There are over 300 subgenres of rock
I was in high school when this came out 😆! Funny alt rock band. Love the '90s.
Saw them 93/94 New Years Eve….opened for Nirvana. That was a unique concert.
One of my very favorite bands!!! They got their name from a heckle. They used to be called The Hugh Beaumont Experience (named after the actor who played the father on the Leave It To Beaver TV show). They were playing a show and someone called them butthole surfters and they decided that was a much better name.
There are three songs like this I love to compare and contrast. The other two are The Kids aren't Alright by The Offspring and the OG, People who Does by the Jim Carroll Band.
You noted some Sublime comparison...makes sense because the Butthole Surfers' guitarist produced Sublime's self-titled, breakthrough album.
Love this song! I never thought hard about the lyrics, its always just sounded great lol I recommend Everclear - Wonderful, Father of Mine, I Will Buy You a New Life, Santa Monica
Father Of Mine is fantastic!
Yes! Another vote for Father of Mine
Santa Monica!
Love their music.
The closest song to this (musically) that I can recall from the Butthole Surfers is “The Shame of Life”, though their early material was FAR more bizarre. They started as a kind of psychedelic-noise-punk band, but this song in particular (“Pepper”) marked the beginning of their more generic radio-friendly alternative rock sound.
I STRONGLY recommend “Who Was In My Room Last Night?” or even “Cherub” for a taste of the Buttholes at their most certifiably insane. lol
Cherub or Lady Sniff would make them burn down their house and run away screaming.
@@KelsaRavenlock, I’m tempted to tell them to watch the entirety of the ‘Blind Eye Sees All’ video, but there’s no way they’d make it past “The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey’s Grave”. LMFAO
To be honest I have never actually found a person willing to listen to a whole song by them from the early days, not even the rare Butthole/Beasitie clip from the public access New York music show will get them to try.
Well not 100% true as in the 80's and early 90's I knew fans, but after the "Hairway to Steven" album got radio play they fell off the map a bit.
@@KelsaRavenlock IIRC, Gibby has his own podcast/radio show in Texas, but idk if the full band still tours.
@@mourningwoodward I haven't seen them live in decades . My last show was so long ago the Surf Punks and Untouchables were on the same bill.
Gibby Hayes the lead guy in this band chose the name simply to bug his mother.
It was the name of a song for a band that had no regular name and when they played a gig the announcer read the song name instead of the band name they chosen that night, when his mom hated it they kept it.
Now thats how you start a conversation¡¡¡
They would play this in the 90's on
goth/industrial night at the clubs in Detroit.
I'm still not quite sure what you would call it. Maybe alternative or dark rock.
It was a good song to dance too though.
You could follow it up with Siouxie and the Banchies or Sisters of Mercy or the Smiths pretty easily . :)
Great band. 90's had some really cool stuff; react to Dinosaur Jr, they have a great sound, too.
