It doesn't matter. I've never, at any point, had space in my life to elevate any person that would be associated with shite like that.

One of STP's best songs IMO.

shite like music?


quote:

Butthole Surfers got their name by accident during a 1981 live performance when an announcer forgot their temporary moniker and introduced them using the title of one of their original songs, "Butthole Surfer". The band liked the reaction and kept it.

No Deep Meaning: The name has no profound or hidden artistic message; it was simply a crude, intentionally shocking phrase used as a tongue-in-cheek song title.

Subversive Intent: The founders embraced the moniker precisely because it was absurd, vulgar, and guaranteed to prevent them from ever receiving mainstream radio airplay or being taken seriously by conventional music gatekeepers






You trying to make it a gay thing says more about your train of thought than anything

I was 21 years old and living life to the fullest in 96. All of these were my jam.

Butthole Surfers have the greatest album names


I don't think I ever got to see them straight up (I honestly can't remember), but I did see Gibby Haynes sing Jesus Built My Hotrod at a Ministry show. I think he was just as high as when they recorded it in studio...

Another win by a straight, male pureblood


Yeah, they're only the band who's lead singer "played" a 12 gauge shotgun during their shows by firing blanks over the crowd (or at least used to). Despite the shocking nature of their band name, they were the 90's version of Ted Nugent in that regard.

And there is nothing more "straight male pureblood" than that...

Sophomore in HS. It’s funny looking at this list and the memories associated with the songs. I can’t say that any were especially my favorites or anything, but I can recall most of the music videos from MTV. For some I have a memory of a time and place when I may have listened to it. For some an association of specific people. I remember being at Blockbuster Music when my friend bought that STP CD, or the first time I heard down because someone was singing it by my locker, or getting drunk with Burden in My Hand in the background, staring at Jewell’s melons when the music video came on. Weird how old songs are associated with random memories that you didn’t even know were there.

Peak Deadhead era for me. I wasn’t really aware any other music was happening.

Those 30 years are a blur.

It’s amazing that piece of shite song was ever in the top 100000 much less number 1

Not a very good list TBH. Earlier 90's was much better.

Pepper by Butthole Surfers sitting at #2 was a better song IMO. Getting old does suck!

I have an unhealthy hatred for it

There are a ton of great songs there though.

My personal favorite is counting blue cars

Some absolute bangers on that list. I still regularly listen to trippin on a hole in a paper heart.
