The studio version is clear, kick-ass, a fine version. The Surfers' live versions on Youtube are also fun. But this video clip captures that nightmare version (Gibby going from accountant to running naked in public), playful nightmare, having fun, but just on the edge of society, Butthole Surfer style.
It's Texas psycho-punk at it's best. When Gibby screeches through the megaphone into the mike, it's heavenly hell. Paul screeches through his guitar, eyes closed, head shaking, a shaman.... The lyrics are meaningless beautiful cacophony, cherub angels, bullshit. It's beautiful insanity, beautiful insanity, beautiful insanity. Tasty.
When I watch this, when I play this song loud, I forget everything else. It's a nightmare, but I'm on top. I'm the fucker, not the fucked...
And I laugh out loud, crazier, louder than the other fuckheads...
