I was working in a fish plant in 95 and the song hit a little close to home they would go on strike every year and settle for next to nothing. Pitched tuna till my arms went numb that year.
He held pretty steady when he played for us and his bandmates birthday. I am not surprised though, they had Alot of stage equipment to bring in. It was Charlie and the Chocolate factory blasted with Primus. It was incredible. Les Claypool was very steady that night and a really good showman.
"I really appreciate anybody who has any type of signature, whether it’s a guitar player or somebody who makes pancakes. It’s so rare to have your thumbprint really stand out from the rest of the bunch. He was a fellow who challenged himself and did what he needed to remain interested in making music and creating. I think that’s very bold because when most people find their comfort zone, they stick with it. He’s a shining example for guys like myself to take chances, and not be afraid to take those chances. His humor was amazing--“Dumb All Over” is still incredibly timely. It’s almost scary. He knew how to hit the nail on the head and still have it tickle your funny bone or bring forth this odd imagery that would border on silly. But, he would never get ridiculous to the point of where it would undermine his stature."[1] - Les Claypool, reflecting on Zappa's 70th anniversary on December 21, 2010.

I LOVE this funky bastard.saw the bonnaroo 08' show
I was there, song def stood out big time!
Primussucks for life! Claypool is the greatest!!!!
I saw Les live a few years ago. He came out wearing a different mask for nearly every song XD
If you ever see him live les is crazy on stage, he never stops moving and bouncing around
+Brisn Doty Some say he's still moving and bouncing around til this very day
+SpearWieldingOctopus ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

And that shit is hard to do while playing bass

This sounds like Crash Bandicoot 2's soundtrack.
Wynona's big brown beaver
WOAH!
Yes!!!!!!!!! My personal favorite off of this album!!!
Les Claypool
musical and lyrical genius!!
not related to fishing but i do drive a big truck, and this fits perfectly to keep my odd brain centered at the wheel. perfect fit.
I,too know of people who drive trucks in virtual farm simulators..Some even drive trucks and vehicles for Mars rover virtual enterprises..
yeah, i actually drive a semi truck for a living
I remember my diesel drivin days
Yeah man. Their sax player can do some WEIRD stuff too. I have this DVD called 5 Gallons Of Diesel and hes in almost all the live shows on there.
I have to wonder if Les is a bit of a Frank Zappa fan.
there is no doubt in my mind
