Butthole Surfers

[cantthinkofanything]

I never really listened to them much but I've liked a few of the songs I have heard. I checked out one or two of their CD's on Rhapsody some years ago and I was thinking that the music seemed current and better than much of what was being played on the radio. So much so that I was surprised they weren't more popular in the mainstream.

Did they significantly cost themselves financially with that name choice?

[Infinite_limit]

Wiki page states name change/mistake when first contract signed. No commercial success before

I just listened to their 3 "Best songs" according to TopTen List and 'Pepper' is the only I remember

My lasting impression is 3 songs and sounds like 3 different artist. Cult band. The name might have helped them as I remember the name more so than any of their song titles. Ironically a song titled "Butthole Surfers" is how the band changed their name

[hehateme]

Im sorry, at first I thought this was a thread meant for kool and lebomb to share their love of balloon knot surfing with each other

[Pauly D]

San Antonio's own. Those guys have major cred but I'm just not into any kind of punk. I wanted to like their music. They're still cool as shit tho

[gameFACE]

Their name actually helped them out in the early 90's. Maybe cashed in on it some. It was a time when you could start saying "butthole" on radio and TV and get away with it. No big deal today. They were never destined to be a huge band anyway. I listened to them mostly in the mid to late 80's but their live shows attracted too many dumbass skinheads. The forum Nazi wannabee's would love it. Still laugh my ass off at the song Moving to Florida.

Can't picture a time/mood where the Butthole Surfers would fit.

[Bartleby]

I had one of their early albums, Pee Pee the Sailor, and never could figure out which speed it was supposed to be played on. Crazy shit!

[leemajors]

Independent Worm Saloon is a classic imo

It's like thinking all paintings have to be beautiful, realistic landscapes or portraits. Or all movies have to be three acts with a developing hero or some shit.
