The Residents - Easter Woman

from the Commercial DVD

[@user-yr8mu1ce1m]

My dad loved The Residents and so I grew up with them and loved their music. The Commercial Album/DVD was such a great album. I remember stealing it from my dad’s huge box of Residents stuff and playing this song and Amber over and over.

[@bbungled]

This is the song that, aptly enough, got me into the residents. It's friggin sweet!
PS: Don't take me too seriously on this one... but the urban landscape+building+heater combo kind of reminds me of Eraserhead. Does anyone else feel the same way?

[@simoneric8183]

I'm interesred by all that can be said about the Residents. Believe me or not while I started reading in your comment " PS don't take me too seriously", at this very second this word you wrote (= "seriously") immediatly came in a flash twinned with the word Eraserhead and this word popped suďdenly in my head for no definite reason.. and I KNEW that you were going to mention this film.
until some seconds later I read what you wrote a few lines after that... and ..
I'm also a big fan of this film ( I had it on vhs cassette long ago, I must have seen it 20 or 30 times)...

Never listen to The Residents before going to bed.

[@theheavymetalbrony2257]

That´s how I got into the Residents to be honest. I´ts almost word for word from a comic strip called Nemi; An eyeball with a tophat approaches into the frame, in the third panel the eyeball opens it mouth to reveal sharp theeths.
The fourth panel shows an worried Cyan talking to Nemi on the phone, Nemi tells her that one shouldn´t listen to The Residents before going to sleep, there´s not many people who can handle it.
I searched YT for The Residents and discovered Diskomo, it was like nothing I´ve ever heard before and made me search for more of their music, I´ve been trapped ever since :)

[@kohlemainen]

Haha! Brilliant! I'm going to bed after this. Promise

[@vitordarksider]

I do it every fucking day

[@Somebody23]

Got a kick out of this comment because that was exactly what I was doing before reading it. Thanks.

I listen to dark ambient going to bed

[@magicbuck]

They still got it played on the radio, they paid for advertizement spots, the requirment for advertizements were they has to be one minute long. They bought 40 spots, one for each song. And of course another word for advertizements are commercials, there for, there album The Commercial Album is a rather appropriate name.

I remember this song from the Ralph Records Buy or Die 1980 Sampler...changed my life

[@colonelweird]

Me too! I think Ralph had ads in Creem magazine - I sent them a dollar and got an EP full of the weirdest music I had ever heard.

[@bennievargas2673]

I bought the commercial album for my kids 7th birthday. He said he would probably like it when he was older

[@twinhellas]

bruh buy him something he actually likes

[@Uchuuneko]

This song should of been at least 4 minutes long. Very awesome vibe.

It also occurs that this is one of their better videos. Production wise, quality wise, appropriateness to music, etcetera, this has got to be the best I've seen yet. Phantoms is pretty great as well.

That face at the end reminds me of little big planet

[@Matheus16905]

Imagine this song as a soundtrack of a videoclip with a bunch of those "Uncanny Valley Efect" images (creepy humanoid robots/dolls and stuff). Terrible and terrific!

[@2PlayDead]

Hahaha This is so badass. Remember watching the Commercial DVD when I was real little. Probably a little concerning but this shit is too good.

[@rageface-blt7008]

Love this

[@AlbertMondback]

Beautiful.

[@rpaxon]

It's from The Commercial Album, on which every song was one minute as part of a concept about pop music and radio jingles.

[@nikolinaPCP]

I totally agree. Though, this atmosphere is so creepy ... but that's the whole charm of the thing.

[@nflt1960]

Great song, I love the Heaven? album this is on, still waiting to see H.E.L.L. No!

[@bobsbakery9741]

I really wouldn't want to watch this on any kind of hallucinogen. Talk about an instant bad trip. Jesus.

[@myn021]

showed my friends this while they were on acid to see their reaction, it was funny to me lol

[@Talloweed]

Thrones did a fantastic cover of this song.

[@arthurchallat8530]

I didn't knew Salad Fingers was a musician

[@rpaxon]

Great video, one of about 5 or so that really stand out on the DVD

[@crazyedd123]

why doesn't youtube have a 'repeat play' button, don't they know about the residents -.-

[@utahsham]

This scares the shit out of me.

Hello!
Does anyone know if the buildings that appear in the video really exist in any city?

[@EvilCat-EnergyCatalyst]

I feel bad for that little creature who's wife was taken away to the afterlife by Easter Woman
