Amen.

It turned out to be Rembrandt Pussyhorse by a band called Butthole Surfers.  WTF!?!  Yeah, I bought it and ended up liking it - especially their over-the-top cover of American Woman.  Well, that album from 1986 was their second and they produced more as the years went by.  They even topped the charts with a song called "Pepper" that sounds a lot like Beck IMHO.  But, I digress. This song is from their 1993 album Independant Worm Saloon:

Amen.

Haha! Son, I've been readin' up on Butthole Surfers. I seriously doubt they give a shit what we think of 'em. The main dude is Gibby Haynes. He's just a coupla birthdays short o' 70.  My Google search says he's been married twice (to wimmin) and has a son.

Regarding the name, this is from Wikipedia:

"The band did not begin as Butthole Surfers, although they did have a song of that title, possibly an early version of 1984's "Butthole Surfer". This changed at their first paid concert, when an announcer forgot what the band was called and used the song title for the group's name. They decided to keep the moniker, and have largely been billed as such ever since.  Prior to that, Butthole Surfers performed under a different name at every live show. Early aliases included The Dick Clark Five, Nine cm Worm Makes Own Food, The Vodka Family Winstons, Ashtray Babyheads, Ed Asner Is Gay, Fred Astaire's Asshole, The Right to Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole, The Inalienable Right to Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole, Zipgun, and many others.

The name has long been a source of trouble for the band. Many clubs, newspapers, radio, and TV stations refuse to print or mention their full name, and instead opt to use "B.H. Surfers" or other abbreviations. In a 1996 Rolling Stone interview, when asked if he could go back and choose a more culturally acceptable name for the band, Haynes replied, "I would name the band: I'm Going to Shit in Your Mother's Vagina."

Amen.
