I really can see the Zappa/Beefheart comparison but this is something that has a life of its own! Totally brilliant inside of complete insanity! Thanks for posting
the level of creativity and originality is epic. I prefer the 'Analogue' years, Santa Dog thru Commercial LP. Just because I love the warmth of those recordings. It feels like your in a room full of weirdos LOL
I have had this album together with Meet the Residents on one cassette tape. I must admit that THESE Residents I like the most. Same with Mothers of Invention or Captain Beefheart. Older the better. Kind of...
If you like this check out the "A Nickle If Your Dick's This Big" compilation that recently came out. It features some of their oldest surviving officially released recordings, including three live performances.
My favourite mothers album is freak out (their first). My favourite residents album is their first but favourite Beefheart album is trout mask replica (just above safe as milk and lick my decals off)
I believe it was sent back with a stamp that says 'Refused'. Frank Zappa had received a copy as well, but that was sent back because he was moved at the time,

MrChrisHermes Oh, it would be fun, in a somewhat horrifying way. :) (Apparently, the father of one of the Hampton Grease Band got their album into the muzak at his insurance company's building - THAT was probably scary...)
umm okay sweaty lemme explain since you obv dont know. post punk was invented in 1738 by blaise pascal, yeah. that IS after he died. fuckin normies smh
The punk scene did enjoy the Residents’ cover of Satisfaction, but besides that, this band isn’t affiliated with punk at all. They are an Art-Pop band. They frequently make eerie covers of popular/Pop songs, like Boots by Nancy and the aforementioned Satisfaction, and albums like Duck Stab are just otherworldly Pop albums.
He does sound like Bryan Ferry a bit, and the surfy pop-rock collage aspect is there, but it's much weirder and less "pop" than most of what Roxy were doing, even early on.
This just proves that there have always been weird musicians. Also these tracks sound like something that would play right before someone has a panic attack/ expirence a prolonged Heroic BSOD
8:48 Ohh - "kick a cat" is obv a reference to Zappa, for all his brilliance, losing his primeval innocence... Existential crisis or no, don't do it folks! (Dont lose your dreams .. Or kick anything small and fluffy!)
Hi @@shinybeast8946 1- The songs about Frank Zappa 2- 8:20 Dont REALLY 'kick a cat' kayyy? With a name like yours I figured you'd know - Beefheart was WAY more my cup of tea :) Merry New Chiristmas !
@@pongnose Snakefinger met them in 1970 actually. He appeared on at least 2 of their earliest live performances in '71 and '72 (they also did a show at his wedding) and one of their demos in '71. He, however does not appear on this release. That much is true.
The lyrics are; "Santa Dog's a Jesus foetus, Santa Dog's a Jesus foetus, Santa Dog's a Jesus foetus, has no presence, has no presence, in the future, in the future" Santa Dog = Satan God

I can't stop listening to this shit. I've already left my family, friends and girlfriend.
DON'T EVER DO RESIDENTS
+Groucho Zappa I like how you say you left them!
i feel ya man
left yourself too?
Too late, I'm hooked. The CD collection is catching up to my Frank Zappa collection.
I love 'em too - I'm listening to them here on my 64th birthday!
Classic Residents! Easily one of the greatest american bands right up there with Mothers Of Invention and Captain Beefheart.
I've never heard of the other 2. I shall check them out now. Thanks!
Snake finger was chosen to play on war milk if beefheart made it

Well, to be fair, _"up there"_ for these bands in today's music scene is still pretty *obscure* by odd standards. 😅

It's genius. Pure and simply genius. They make music like nobody else ever has, ever.
You said it!

This is the most beautiful piece of music ever composed.
It’s Christmas Eve today and I felt a need to return to this
I got a Residents tattoo. Love these guys
@GEORGE 74 I do not want to dox myself. It is the Eskimo cover on my arm
I had to hear Santa Dog. It gets stuck in my head sometimes, especially the creepy-good background Santa, Santa vocals!
Santa Dog still has a presence, it follows that the future is yet to arrive.
It’s arriving now. 🙌
This is the only Christmas record I listen to all year round. At that, it's barely even a Christmas record.
Season's greasons
I'd look up the lyrics but I need that side of my brain.
Thanks for making this available. The greatest 11+ minutes of music in the history of Western civilization!!!
i just bursted out of laughter. take my like.

One of my favourite albums, perfectly constructed. The Residents are very meaningful
it's a four song ep. not an album
+Nic Lawson they didn't call them "EP's" in '72...
+Felix Siam The entire world sparked into existence with the birth of Nic Lawson.
Well if it's any consolation, it's Residents official release #1
uh, yes they did, Extended play is not new.
I have had this album together with Meet the Residents on one cassette tape. I must admit that THESE Residents I like the most. Same with Mothers of Invention or Captain Beefheart. Older the better. Kind of...

@@Gabriel-wk3hz: The best in my opinion despite being very easy to get into.
I like Freakshow quite a bit, and Fingerprince, and God in Three Persons is neat

This is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Brilliant.
I've always wondered if Nixon listened to the copy they sent him, and what he would have thought of it.
That would have been one hell of a fifth of whiskey he had.
It was apparently sent back unopened.
I believe it was sent back with a stamp that says 'Refused'.
Frank Zappa had received a copy as well, but that was sent back because he was moved at the time,

a plunging elevator, or one stuck between floors, maybe. :) (I actually like the Residents, but really, I think not...)

Elevators shouldn't go any higher than 13 floors, even in Residential evil santaland
Two people lack the Christmas Spirit...
or maybe they are from the future
I wish I'd gotten one in the mail by accident back in '72 (at age six). Woulda played it over & over
about a month or 2 ago I managed to get my hands on the repressed issue of this for just £30. I would have been willing to pay more.
love
NA NA NA NA NAAA KATAMARI DAMACY!
great band
this reminds me of Larry Wildman Fischer
There doesn't exist a band more creepy and demented as The Residents... Not even Nurse With Wound, Whitehouse or Throbbing Gristle... ;)

It says *inspired*, dumbass
Chris Farmer fair enough point, dumbass
@bacorable punk started in 1968.
This song is punk/new wave almost a decade early.
umm okay sweaty lemme explain since you obv dont know. post punk was invented in 1738 by blaise pascal, yeah. that IS after he died. fuckin normies smh
@@PvPene ok. Maybe. But check out diskomo... About 15-20 years early on the rave/techno scene.
How is 4 years almost 10 years? And besides, this is it's own thing. It's more like Zappa than punk and nothing like any new wave I've heard.
The punk scene did enjoy the Residents’ cover of Satisfaction, but besides that, this band isn’t affiliated with punk at all. They are an Art-Pop band. They frequently make eerie covers of popular/Pop songs, like Boots by Nancy and the aforementioned Satisfaction, and albums like Duck Stab are just otherworldly Pop albums.
@@zentyler1646 The point is in punk and the immediate post-punk scenes, the ones who gravitated towards art rock were inspired by the Residents.

Oh man how you can hear early Beach Boys stuff throuh this! Glad they found their own path after this EP!

The first song reminds me of early Roxy Music.

So good
Fun fact: CatJam emote works pretty well with the first song... He Vibin
