1. I always admired the Butthole Surfers FULL STOP.

Oh so many grand songs!

2. Two facts about that song:

1) I happen to have the original Thai song they manipulated for that. They did almost nothing.

2) That song, on endless repeat all night, soundtracked a really bad acid trip I had in 1993.

5. me and some friends

had shared acid hallucinations of characters based on that song.

god, was that really 20 or so years ago?

[asthmaticeog]

7. Exactly 20.

Yikes. One more year, and it'll be 20 years since their last good album. :wow:

9. That information I do not have.

It was given to me on a mix tape. Apparently the source is an old world music various artists cassette.

The 'net has offered this up, though: http://www.pcplanets.com/videos-86682-Kuntz-.shtml#

10. Best. Surfers song. Ever.

I love Kuntz, and the original is even better.

apparently, the song is about an itch that won't go away- and the word for "itch" in Thai is the one that is repeated over and over.

11. "Look daddy, I'm a surfer!"

Favorite line from the Simpsons' Rod Flanders

And this is one of the funniest, um, "interviews" I've ever seen:
