Comic strips, anyone? What a hilariously quirky little song! I did get a good chuckle out of it!
Here’s the link to the original song by Primus:

I love Primus, but I don't know how I'd react if I heard them for the first time on the recommendation that they were influenced by Pink Floyd.

I have never witnessed someone so seriously and intensely interpret Primus lyrics.

The guitarist, Larry LaLonde, is also one of the founders of Death Metal guitar work as well, having played in the band Possessed back in '85-86 or so. Ler is SUPER underrated ❤🤘

"I feel like I'm watching a cartoon" - LOL, actually the video for this song was (mostly) a cartoon! What's amazing is how Les Claypool can play these very tricky bass lines while scatting out the vocals really fast. Watch Primus's performance live at Bonnaroo 2012 for a look at how this song goes down live - the crowd loves it.

Primus is in a league of their own. Strange? Yes. Unique? Yes. Awesome? Yes.

Primus is literally its own genre. They defy classification.

Les Claypool is one of the great innovators on bass. As a bass player, I listen and wonder how he does that. Primus is also influenced by Rush. They did a whole tour recently playing the classic Rush album A Farewell to Kings in its entirety. Les is one of the best of all time at his craft.

The voice of the Tommy the Cat character is the great Tom Waits. And that's pretty much his normal voice!

Primus often is cartoonish, but with quite dark themes. “My name is Mud” is about a hillbilly who “crosses the law” with a baseball bat- “John the fisherman” about a man who Longs to be one of the harvesters of the sea, Winona’s big brown beaver- about a not so shy carnie girl with a special pet. They have many different styles- all unique- all instantly recognizable as PRIMUS

It’s always fun watching people listen to Primus for the first time. It’s definitely a wild experience.

All the musicians in this band are phenomenal.

I think you happened to pick the very best introduction song to Primus (pronounced pry-muss). I also think you will very much enjoy the Primus journey through their catalogue! For your next selection, I would highly recommend the song, "Southbound Pachyderm". It's not as quirky as many of their other songs, but it still maintains the uniqueness that Primus brings.

Amy should do a deep dive into Tom Waits. It would complete me.

In order to really appreciate this song you have to see the live version. Les's ability to sing over top of what he's playing is simply amazing.
Top tier musicians all around.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this person. I could listen to her talk about music all day. Wonderful!

Les Claypool is a singular talent on the bass, a carnival barker extraordinaire, and a master teller of strange tales rolled into one awesome, weird dude. This was a great reaction, hopefully we see more Primus!

Les Claypool is one of the worlds most unique bass players ever. (Prime-Us) Les was asked to try out for Metallica. After his audition. Metallica say that he was way too good to be playing in their band, and he should go and create his own. So he did. Other songs you should check into is Jerry Was A Racecar Driver, Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver, My Name Is Mud, or DMV

Oysterhead is my particular favorite band of Les Claypool’s… but I love Primus… I was lucky enough to see them open up for Rush in 1992.
Tim Alexander, Larry La Londe and Les Claypool were amazing!
And Rush was EPIC!!!!!😮

I’ve seen Primus live several times. Truly unique and wonderful. I enjoyed this reaction and definitely suggest you doing more Primus reactions ❤

I started playing bass as a kid, and les claypool was my absolute favorite at the time. Then I got to meet him when i was 16, working at a golf course. He was leaving because it started to rain. I happened to have my bass on me because i was going out of town after work. He waited in the rain for me to run and grab it for him to autograph. Then he jammed on it for a bit, no amp, no one else in the lot, jammed my own bass for just me.
