Actually for the video, they did playback of the music at half speed, they played it back at twice the speed in time with the music to make it look "normal". They couldn't move fast enough with the costumes on.
In the making of documentary, they slowed the song down so that the band could play the song more easily in their suits, the sped it back up to normal. That's why the bassist can seemingly move so fast with all that stuff on.
That's interesting. I noticed in the video that they seem to have enlarged hand prosthetics; did they play with them, or is the sound overlayed on the video? Do you know?
Great reaction. Re: the writing on the drum kit: Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys were a Rockabilly band that used to play in San Francisco in the late 80's/early 90's. Tragically, the band leader (aka Professor Buck Naked) was shot to death while walking his dogs by a crazy pigeon feeding dude that was upset that the dogs were scaring away birds in the park. This video was made a few years later and Primus included the actual Buck Naked drum kit as a tribute to their friend...
The singers a character, but listen close and see his phenomenal bass playing abilities! As weird as the lyrics are, he touches on personal and social issues
They actually recorded this at 75% speed so they could mime the instruments properly with the suits on & their fingers being part of the suit. "Buck Naked & the Bare Bottom Boys" pure gold 🤣
Les Claypool🤘(The bassist and vocalist) Primus-My name is Mud. Primus-Mr. Krinkle. Ozzy Osbourne Ft Les Claypool-N.I.B. Primus-The Devil Went Down To Georgia. Primus-Tommy The Cat.
In the video they actually slowed the track down, they played it slowed down, then sped the video up for the final product. Can les claypool play? Hell yes dude he slapps
Man, FINALLY, someone gives a proper "reaction" to the video. Some people just stop the video right after the music! It's like... well, what'd you think?! You gave a perfect reaction! That gunshot at the end "Dude! Don't fuck with me!"
When they made this video they slowed the track down and then recorded them playing at the slow speed. Once it was finished they just sped the final cut to normal speed.
It's so odd to me the way the same suggestions are constantly parroted in these comment sections. Everyone acts like Southbound Pachyderm was never written. I don't get it.
Yup. Probably because everyone focuses on the more "goofy" songs that they did that aint so on the nose about the actual meaning they are singing about. Seems primus has randomly become a meme lately. Thats why you never see songs such as southbound (about global warming), laquerhead (about the dangers of huffing) and too many puppies (about the govt sending young kids to war to die) for example in any of these vids. They are too "serious" and their dark messages are too clear and not masked by "humorous goofiness"
You should watch the making of the video.. It's actually really interesting! The parts in the barn were them moving in actual slow motion and then the video was sped up.. Plus, the costumes were a pain in the arse!
They are playing it. What they did was slow it down to like half the real speed of the song and filmed them playing it slow, but sped it up to match the exact real tempo of the song. So they move like they are stiff, they do that in a lot of their videos. But yes the suits were stiff but they can play haha it is shocking
To pull it off in costume they had the song played at a faster speed to match the playing they're actually playing,they then slowed the video down to sync it up with the original song.
Les Claypool.... absolute legend! Best ever bass player! Primus... one of a damn kind man. Love to see your reaction to a band that's been out since the early 80s lol.
@1:39 "They're not actually playing..." Actually, they are. But the video was filmed at half speed. They played along with the song being played at half speed. There is a video on YT about the making of this video.
YES! One of the GREATEST BANDS and BASS PLAYERS EVER!!! Odd lyrics at first but when you dig in you get it... double entendre and ALL! "My Name Is Mud" is a must....GREAT reaction new SUB here because of it! Keep up the Honest Heart felt reactions. TY
Egg Press is When a man gets up quickly, not realizing that one of his testicles has slipped outside of his drawers. So Egg pressed for a week is basically a ball injury
Les Claypool is an avid fisherman.He was walking back to his car one day after fishing & saw a very large beaver & it scared the shit out of him.So he wrote this song with all the double entendre innuendo he could muster. The lyrics say "Grabbed him by the kiwis & he egg pressed for a week" that was so they wouldnt get censored by MTV back in the day. "He says "& he aint pissed for a week"
Welcome to the crazy world of Primus... The story about this song's creation that I heard was that Wynona Judd (the country singer) inadvertently showed off her brown beaver somewhere and this song was the result (take that as you would any rumor I guess.) Primus - My Name Is Mud -- ruclips.net/video/953PkxFNiko/видео.html Primus - Mr. Krinkle -- ruclips.net/video/TOdo7dhvSwg/видео.html
The bass drum says "Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys",an actual rockabilly band. it's a tribute to that band in general, they were friends of Primus, and their singer Buck Naked in particular, as he was murdered in 1992. Buck seemed like a fun guy. Apparently he would perform wearing only a hat, chaps and a plunger to cover his dick. So yeah.
The story behind the song, as I heard it... Les Claypool loves fishing in his downtime. He was out fishing with friends when they saw a beaver up on the banks. His friend exclaimed something like “Whoooa, that is one big brown beaver.” Les liked the silly sound of “big brown beaver,” and that’s where the idea came from. When they started developing the song, they thought it was just going to be a bullshitty little track to move the album along. But it just kept gaining momentum in the studio, and when the album dropped they were surprised to find out it was actually really popular. So they found themselves making a music video for a song they took as a joke. There are some clever jokes weaved into it, but as Les says, “truth be told, it’s just a silly song about a woman who loves her pet beaver.” That’s pretty believable when you examine the body of that album’s lyrics - most of the songs are just humorous little musings they wrote. And that’s how Wynona got herself that big brown beaver.
The double entendre is correct. It's intended if you REALLY look at the lyrics.... "grabbed him by the kiwis and he ain't pissed all week." case of the clap... Welcome to the world of Primus!!
True, but the song was inspired by a fishing trip when Claypool was walking back from his boat and a huge beaver came out of the water and scared the hell out of him. So it's both a song about a woman who has a huge pet beaver, and lots of double entendres.
I say he's totally slap playing that bass guitar! Les is one of the best bassist out there! The man has crazy mad skills. Just check out any of their other songs.
They were playing the instruments at a slower speed and recorded at a slower speed and it was all sped up in post production. It gives it a weird feel to the video.
Fun trivia sorta, this song was written after the singer/bassist was out in the wilderness and had a legit huge beaver cross his path that startled him on account of the beaver's size.
Thanks for the reaction! There is a video for the making of this video. It was actually filmed in slow motion. If you want to hear just how good he is on bass, do a reaction to DMV or Tommy the Cat. PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!!!
Mr. Krinkle primus fan much? Haha. I was always partial to over the elctric grapevine, mrs blaileen, southbound pachyderm, sailing the seas of cheese, dmv... theres too many greats
Glad you enjoyed it, it was great seeing someone else see it for the first time, I remember the first time I saw it, back when MTv was about playing music, same reaction, loved the lunacy that is Primus. You should check out Sausage, another one of Les's groups: ruclips.net/video/2PXjTtyxsMM/видео.html
They had to actually play them but the director slowed the music down so it was even harder. Wynona Judd? Country star at the time may explain the plastic cowboy suits. 7 layer burrito is 7 layer labia. Kiwis verse = STDs. Look up Neil Diamonds “Porcupine Pie”.
Hey doc, Primus was nice. I recommend you some Tool (check out the song Sober live version), Alice In Chains, Mad Season, Mother love bone or temple of the dog. I haven’t seen (m)any reaction videos to these iconic 90’s band. Greetings from Holland.
No your Wrong. Sorry song not a bout Poon-Tang I saw Les Claypool talk about this song in the 90's on MTV. He said he was fishing with someone and a HUGE Beaver jump out down stream. That is where the idea for the song came from.
Motown funk meets Charlie Daniels Devil tune at a fast tempo (140?). Breaks the rules in so many ways, fun stuff, great musicuans, wionderful vid technique.Thanks.
I feel that the lyrics are intentionally sexual to show that your mind expects it to go that way when in actuality it is just a beaver. sometimes a beaver is just a beaver.
I'm probably late to the party doc but they slowed down the song by 25% when filming and they were able to get their fingers in their gloves on the cords. Could they legit play them, hell no. But in the BTS they could hit the cords slower.
Doc Rich: "There's no way they're playing those guitars."
Les Claypool: "Hold my beaver..."
😁🤘
Actually for the video, they did playback of the music at half speed, they played it back at twice the speed in time with the music to make it look "normal". They couldn't move fast enough with the costumes on.
@5 stringin I'm not disputing that Les is bad ass (an understatement), the fact is most people DO NOT know how the video was filmed.
ffjsb I don’t know how but I knew that too. Maybe a behind the scenes thing I saw back in the day or something 🤷🏻♂️.
In the making of documentary, they slowed the song down so that the band could play the song more easily in their suits, the sped it back up to normal.
That's why the bassist can seemingly move so fast with all that stuff on.
AYYYYE YOU WATCHED THAT TOO!! RIGHT ON, BROSIEDON 🤘
they did the same thing for the shake hands with beef video but instead doing to make easier in a suit they did it to make them move more like flies
That's interesting. I noticed in the video that they seem to have enlarged hand prosthetics; did they play with them, or is the sound overlayed on the video? Do you know?
The "egg pressed" line was to appease MTV's censorship...weird because they never censored the actual word "pissed."
What about the Porcupine part? Is that supposed to be what I think it is?
@@ChilupaKing
Sometimes a porcupine is just a porcupine.
El Bruce Brilliant
Just like the cartoon creates plausible deniability if the FCC tries to claim the song is about a vagina. Even though it is.
@@portapotty69 True.
Primus SUCKS! Such a great band.
You know it!
Les claypool is a bass god.
He was born with a bass from birth.
So weird and funky.
Primus is hella fun, but super talented too. That bass is perfection.
Great reaction. Re: the writing on the drum kit: Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys were a Rockabilly band that used to play in San Francisco in the late 80's/early 90's.

Edward Riel as a drummer with that same kit (vintage early 70’s Vistalite) this is cool to hear.
I still can't get over how crazy he makes that bass sound.. blows my mind every time
Best part is the song is literal, it's literally about a beaver
Block *porcupine
@@cararacs good call
I think that they are intentionally making you think that it's a double entendre when it isn't and is literally just a beaver
Its actually about a woman who owend a beaver..
The singers a character, but listen close and see his phenomenal bass playing abilities! As weird as the lyrics are, he touches on personal and social issues
Yeah Les is a legend but the whole sound of Primus is special, ie the drummer and guitarist are also badass!
True, Larry LaLonde is an under-rated guitarist. It suits Les's Awkward/Funky Style of Bass Madness!
@@_THUE_ Yeppers! And Tim Alexander is an underrated drummer who compliments the Primus feel.
They actually recorded this at 75% speed so they could mime the instruments properly with the suits on & their fingers being part of the suit.
"Buck Naked & the Bare Bottom Boys"
pure gold 🤣
More like 25% speed
@@someoneelse101 they said in the video of how they made it that thy slowed it down to 3/4 speed.
Nobody plays bass quite like Les
They're totally playing those guitars lol they slap em.

Primus-Mr. Krinkle.
Ozzy Osbourne Ft Les Claypool-N.I.B.

You gotta check out their old school songs that formed the band.
Start off with John the Fisherman or Too many puppies. Frizzle Fry is a great album.
Bro you reacting to the double entendre here is like when white people learned what skeet meant 😂😂
Primus' groove is irresistible
Les has said before that the song is about a woman and her pet Beaver but was written in such a way that it left interpretation up to the listener.
Primus was the SHIZ back in the day!
Primus SUCKS!
Back in the day? Saw them last year and they as solid as ever
In the video they actually slowed the track down, they played it slowed down, then sped the video up for the final product. Can les claypool play? Hell yes dude he slapps
I had a good time watching this , i enjoyed laughing along with you
There is a video on YT of the band playing this song live in penguin suits on Dave Letterman that smokes.
Man, FINALLY, someone gives a proper "reaction" to the video. Some people just stop the video right after the music! It's like... well, what'd you think?! You gave a perfect reaction! That gunshot at the end "Dude! Don't fuck with me!"
5:03 egg pressed = ain't pissed. This was played on MTV during primetime so, voluntary artistic censorship.
They played Woodstock 94 and Those Damned Blue Collar Tweakers is def worth checking out. I’m moshing waaay stage right🤘
"egg pressed" was the clean version that was TV friendly
My name is Mud, Mr. Krinkle, and Southbound Pachyderm. Gotta check it out.
Shake Hands With Beef or Jerry Was A Race Car Driver
When they made this video they slowed the track down and then recorded them playing at the slow speed. Once it was finished they just sped the final cut to normal speed.

Yooooo. Started with Primus’ best song. AND you did the video, and got it.
I think the 'egg pressed' part was to pass by any censorship issues.
I love your reaction...like this band bout 30 years...love to see you have so much fun with it :)
do Weird Al Yankovic - White & Nerdy REACTION
Bahahaha yeah and his 'Do I Creep You Out?' video, hahahaha
I believe it was about wynona ryder when she got busted for shoplifting.
It was written about his girlfriend, actress Winona Ryder who plays Will’s mom on Stranger Things

Lol no, its about a woman that really had a big brown beaver, but the double entendre is the way of Primus

Them big brown beavers can bite !
Fun fact: That art on the bass drum you laughed at was actually the name of one of Tim's (The Drummer) influences as a drummer who died recently.
How to explain Primus. Great musicians who take their playing very seriously but never take themselves seriously.
My favorite trivia about this video is that the gigantic pick Larry uses was thought up exactly 5 minutes before shooting started.
The bass drum says "Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys",an actual rockabilly band. it's a tribute to that band in general, they were friends of Primus, and their singer Buck Naked in particular, as he was murdered in 1992.

I bet they had some fun making that video

He also plays a technique called clawhammer which is a picking technique for banjo
Love the way you broke it down, your right on the money dude, LOL!
The song is actually about a girl that had a pet beaver according to the band
ROFL, I've watched you a bunch recently, I've never heard you curse. This is fun to listen too.
They were playing the instruments at a slower speed and recorded at a slower speed and it was all sped up in post production. It gives it a weird feel to the video.
Les Claypol is the baddest bass player out. Try "my name is mud"
Fun trivia sorta, this song was written after the singer/bassist was out in the wilderness and had a legit huge beaver cross his path that startled him on account of the beaver's size.
Yeah lol. He ain't pissed for a week lol 😂😂😂
Now you gotta do, Jerry was a Race Car Driver.
I like your energy, man! Keep it up!
Nah, they are playing those instruments legit.
The suits restricted their movement so the video was shot at half speed and sped up to make it look normal.
Less Claypool (the bass player and singer) has confirmed in interviews that this song is about the private parts
Les is arguably the best bassist...IMO. Great reaction, fun to watch!.
By definition they are playing the guitars it’s called slapping, aka slapping the base.

If James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic, Rush and Frank Zappa had a gang bang, you would get Primus.
Theyre actually playing it during the video but theyre playing it much slower with the video sped up.
You probably know these guys from the Southpark theme. If you want to appreciate some nasty bass skills check out "Tommy the Cat" live at Bonnaroo
They had to actually play them but the director slowed the music down so it was even harder.
