people think he's a smug asshole for no reason, but it's actually because he's worked his ass off to go from being a goof ball in a loser band to being a legend of bass guitar
Tales from the Punchbowl and Frizzle Fry are indirct refrences from Primus. Barrington Hall is another from The Frog Brigade. Barrington Hall was famous for having parties with LSD spiked punch. Claypool was a fan of such parties.
*travels to this video comment in a little red time spaceship from the far away year of 2019.* ......myup. Sure don't miss none of those things. *Puts back on spaceman goggles and flies away*
Wow, this video was posted 17 years ago. Same with the John the Fisherman video. Just goes to show how much people are into Les Claypool. Primus sucks!
I love how just about every comment here is relevant to when this album first came out like 16 years ago! Makes me feel so nostalgic even though I was still unaware of Claypool back in '06.
The video is an excerpt of the short "Kontsert porgandipirukale" (Concert for a Carrot Pie) (2002) by Heiki Ernits and Janno Põldma, so hardly this video is official. Anyway both things, animation and music are great.
I have listened to this over and over and over. All the way across Nebraska from the Iowa line to Wyoming once. And then I wished there were more Nebraska.
This video wont make you do hard drugs, but its what you are most likely to see if you do, :) Primus might suck, but Les sure does not, this is good shit!
No one gives Les one better on the bass. Holy shit I love this song its one of his best. One Better, Buzzards of Green HIll, Red State Girl, Ding Dang, Beezlebub (w/ Beats Anique where he basically ruins the electronic genre),. The Big Eyeball in the Sky, Thai Noodles, Hendershot, Stayin Alive (cover), ec, many Primus greats, Jerry, Wynona, Mud, Tommy, John, Harold, Frizzle, Groundhog. ect ect ect ect Claypool is the one better.
Well were not talking about them are we... were talking about rock bassists and as far as they go, he's one of the best. Personally, I dont give a flying fuck if a jazz musician knows his locrian better than Les. Being a good musician is not about writting more complex music than others, its about originality and innovation...
If you look at his website, you can see he's asking for original stuff for his music with added emphasis on animations. And it almost seems as thought the video has absolutely nothing to do with the song except for the few seconds of the cat talking like Les's lyrics.
Anybody know where I could find the mallet sheet music for the whole song? This is cut shorterfrom the original... Thanks. Having quite a bit of difficulty finding anything, and I'd love to perform a cover, but the mallet solo is pretty intense to learn by ear in the original.
God is that all people on here ever do is bitch at each other? You can't expect every Primus fan on earth to know each tiny little fact about them. He is probably like me, loves Primus' music but doesn't fuckin stalk them and know every single fuckin thing about them
I listen to them all frequently except for the ccbbb's but claypool only tours in america/canada and i'm to damn poor to pay for a 1500 dollar trip, wich is pretty annoying. I mean the ticket prices are like 50 bucks at a random show..
its "ima gonna get me one better, just you wait and see, ima gonna get me one better, you can't get the best o'me, (something like) pass it all around, ima gonna get me one better, cause i got the biggest balls in town"
This is fucking awesome! I dont know who the hell do this, but its really cool. I ever wanted to see this sort of animation with Les music backgrounds. It could be some silly or gay for someones, but I aprobe it.
Les gets his appeal not because of how well he can play, but because he plays so well while making his awesome sound. He's not the best out there. By no means is he the best out there. He is the most origional though.
There was a cartoon called 'Flytales' used for time filler between movies on one of the Canadian movie channels some years ago....does anybody know if this is the same animators?This song KICKS!!!!
I like it, althouh it has very little to do wtih the actual song, althouh I think the old lady flying away may represent the satelite, I would like to see someone do a serious video of this song.
Some say the video and lyrics dont connect. I thought the part where the flys were competing for the girls kinda set the mood of the lyrics. But then again... this isnt an official vid so who knows.
Don't be afraid. You've been lulled into a false sense of security by the incessant pop music and cohesive video sludge you see on television. This is a thing called "talent"...it will not harm you.
Well see chinese ufo 2010 and ponder what the video is about. Inertial propulsion. I gone give you one better, just you wait and see, you can't get past me. The best one around.
there are claypool compilation music books that ive seen in stores that have both the sheet music and tab. being a popular claypool song this is probably in one ofthem. dunno if that helps
Yes, but Les plays the ol slap and tickle unlike most bass players. His strumming method combined with his slapping is what makes his ish hard to copy. That and he is a freak of nature. :)
if you're 12 you sure as shit shouldn't be watching the devils rejects. (for others J.Q.W. is a character from the extremely adult oriented movie the devils rejects.)
i wouldnt call this twisted i mean really none of his vids are twisted just kinda artistic and out there. i wouldnt put em in the same kinda twistedness as aphex twins hahaha
You know what would be cool? If Les formed a superband with Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammet. Apparently they were good friends in high school. That would kick some ass.
Not entirely true... In a way the video does have connection with the song because the sun and the moon kinda have a "Im gonna do you one better" thing going on
You name all great bassist's, but none of them are as affluent or innovative as Les Claypool. I would listen to him over those guys any day of the week.
Without Les Claypool, I wouldn't be a musician. Much less would I be the bass player that I am today. Other than Carl Sagan, Les is the only individual that has profoundly changed my life. Great guy and an unreal bassist, long live sir Claypool
It's this underground drug called "practice." He's been on it for 35 years.
@BoulderBro999 why? No, Ler is awesome, Lars is the drummer for Metallica.
@BoulderBro999 why? Ah, I see.
people think he's a smug asshole for no reason, but it's actually because he's worked his ass off to go from being a goof ball in a loser band to being a legend of bass guitar

very good ! :) thank,s to LesClaypool
This song/music video made me happy during my teen angst era in high school. Thanks Les!
makes me wanna dance
dang man great stuff! les is a hero!
holy shit i am loven that funky ass bass and the cartoon was weid but awesome
LMAO! great video.
lol coolest video ever
YES !! ^^ That's what I'm talking about....
I got high and watched this, and the experience was great, until the cat-maestro showed up, that thing was fucking scary!
its crazy how Les went from Bob to this...thast CRAzY!..but nontheless its toight!!
What is the video from? If it's not an original production for this song.
fuckin' sweet
Yeah, I assumed so... just making sure.
@branzuela45 there's no guitar though..
Original video is "Kontsert porgandipirukale" (Concert for a Carrot Pie)
this video still a better plot than jersey shore, twilight, and both fred movies
*travels to this video comment in a little red time spaceship from the far away year of 2019.* ......myup. Sure don't miss none of those things. *Puts back on spaceman goggles and flies away*
Les Claypool is amazing! This song is amazing! Any sound that comes out of Les Claypool's bass is amazing! =)
He played all the drums on this album too.
Hope you spit up your coffee when you read that.
Wow, this video was posted 17 years ago. Same with the John the Fisherman video. Just goes to show how much people are into Les Claypool. Primus sucks!
Who animated this??
I love the song and thank you for the upload. Learn it on bass and you'll feel so much better. Pete approved.

25 people can't give even 0.5 better...
The ultimate *UFO technology* video ;D
And what a tune!!!!!!
I will give you one better
Actually, he did, and he admitted it.
What?
Beyonce, I'm real happy for ya, and Imma let'cha finish, but Les Claypool has the greatest music video of all time. Of all time!
awesome psychadelic funk groove... Am not a fan of les claypool myself but this song really rocks
This is my favorite song on the Of Whales and Woe album. Fantastic stuff.
I have listened to this over and over and over.
All the way across Nebraska from the Iowa line to Wyoming once.
And then I wished there were more Nebraska.
This video wont make you do hard drugs, but its what you are most likely to see if you do, :)
Primus might suck, but Les sure does not, this is good shit!
It sounds a lot like the frog brigade though, Trust me i've seen em live and have all their cd's, including all primus cd's as well.
Les Claypool is a human cartoon character so awesome song.
No one gives Les one better on the bass.
Holy shit I love this song its one of his best. One Better, Buzzards of Green HIll, Red State Girl, Ding Dang, Beezlebub (w/ Beats Anique where he basically ruins the electronic genre),. The Big Eyeball in the Sky, Thai Noodles, Hendershot, Stayin Alive (cover), ec, many Primus greats, Jerry, Wynona, Mud, Tommy, John, Harold, Frizzle, Groundhog. ect ect ect ect
Claypool is the one better.
Damn the beggining of this song is funky as hell
probably inspired by earth blues - jimi hendrix, if interested
You my friend, are my hero. Thanks for the upload.
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THIS VIDEO! not really, i just wanted to be one of those people who thinks they are a philosipher on youtube...
Well were not talking about them are we... were talking about rock bassists and as far as they go, he's one of the best.

You name all great bassist's, but none of them are as affluent or innovative as Les Claypool. I would listen to him over those guys any day of the week.
Okay, I have to go do the laundry and take a shower now so I can get that stinky funk out of my clothes and hair.
Stinky, like toe jam and tasty. :)
Yeh I know that's why I suggested it. I know James said that but I don't know why he said he's 'too good' because Cliff Burton was just as brilliant.
Yea, just felt like saying Primus sucks for old times sake ;) Grats on the concert, I need to catch Claypool sometime soon...it's been awhile.
so that same dude that did the claymation for primus vids did the intro for Robot chicken?...les made the song though right?...iono! Les is dope!!
@michaelscriptor
im sure he did at the time he was just REALLY high at the time lol shit like this makes sense when your really high
oh my sweet lord, i havent got this song! WHAT THE FUCK! LES CLAYPOOL SONG AND I DONT HAVE IT?!
anyway yeah, this song r00lzorz n shit
how can you not know what the video is about? sure its pretty surreal.. but any creative thinker can work it out :)
amazing song.
the family benefeits through working together...the bugs benefeit through competition...the sun and moon evened out through karma
@TPCrackerman Knowing Les Claypool, I bet he wasn't on LSD and this is just the shit he sees normally when he closes his eyes.
I posted the 420th rating!!! I'm awesome!!!! But on a more serious note, this song sounds like an auditory dream. Incredible.
dude les claypool kicks soooo much fucking ass i saw him live this past sunday he rocks soooo much him and his fancy band
fans chant primus sucks at the concerts, it always weirds out the lesser primus fans who don't know about the tradition
@ManDudeYeah He's the best bassist, I love listening to him.
i'm seeing him on monday i can't wait
i had a "bad" trip like this once, but with the blue smurf dudes, it wasnt bad, but the fact that i had it was awesome
what the hell just happened? i mean i get the video but the music has nothing to do with it at all. i am so scared.
I was replying to someone who said he's the best bass player in the world, and I was just giving a little context
i dunno boy.......perhaps the belt will teach you to worship jesus whilst your in my home! ITS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!
well i definitly wouldnt call this twisted its kinda just funny. everythings to cutesy for it to be twisted hahaha
album version is a million times better. they cut out the sax, marimba, and bass solo in this video version.
Man ... Wooten or Flea are not style creators like Claypool. That's why none of them can compete with Claypool.
So what is this anyway. Where did the video come from? I haven't heard of any vids for of whales and woe yet.
Haha, me too. :D
This song fucking rox my sox, and other internet acronyms.
@kingturkey2 it's only 21 to 1113. A person who doesn't realize this just isn't part of the 1113 yet. LOL
@kent6667 i know but the meaning of the sentence was t that les live is just cool:P to see him this year.:)
What the hell... >.< Am I the only person on this planet that can and does listen to primus sober.... O_o
Without Les Claypool, I wouldn't be a musician. Much less would I be the bass player that I am today. Other than Carl Sagan, Les is the only individual that has profoundly changed my life. Great guy and an unreal bassist, long live sir Claypool
I think the cartoons in this video are from old nursery rhyme book...
IDK which one though
anyone know?
dude, fishing is wat claypool does to take his mind of music, i should find something to do the same
les made the claymation for the primus videos no?...did he draw for them as he may have for this one?
Yeap, If les was mud, swim in his talent, And never speack of it again, LES CLAYPOOL is my bass hero
This song is so awesome, Les Claypool is a god! PRIMUS SUCKS! (i know its not primus but whatever)
Who is the animator for this-its awesome!
@ManDudeYeah agreed.....except not the bass player i am today (i'm terrible) but learning lol
Yeah man, this song and (John the fisher man) my fav lol.. good stuff...... Primus sux ......
sloppy? i don't know about that. i thought he was actually pretty fuckin clean really, haha.
Does this bass line sound similar to "fight the power" by the isley bros or is it just me?
herbie747 u dont get it do u, PRIMUS SUCKS was their slogan, Claypool himself started it.
yea but bob marleys was part of his reigion, so i think he had good reason to smoke green
this vids from somethin else, ... like I seen it as a kid maybe, idk but this songs wild
@ObeseChess God on an acid trip, contemplating whether or not to restart the big bang.
Khrushchev and carrot roll. A bizarre song and a bizarre video. Still awesome though.
