Butthole Surfers - Human Cannonball Lyrics

DEAD KENNEDYS!

DR ROCKSO ARE YOU READY TO ROCK

the cover for this album always gave me the weirdest vibe

These guys were just designed to be listened to on acid

Paul Leary murders it on this one. Lost amidst the lunacy that is the ButtSurfers is that these psycho Texans were like an unstoppable force of sheer bloody power and energy live. They weren't f***ing around. I once saw Gibby hop off of the stage and club some poor fool to the ground then hop back onstage in like 30 seconds. Or so it seemed. Why did he pummel the guy? Don't know. Didn't ask either

Shitthole servers. Whats for diner. Tonight.....?"

I should have looked at the track title. All these years I thought he sang "tonight you're probably feeding like a human cannibal"

Ahhh ahhh ahhh

This whole album was top notch.   The only album I like by them, the rest I can't get into.

???"... : shithole surfers. , whass that....!/??"

the perfect band other than the Ramones

What about Fugazi?

The only thing I remember from 1984-1994.... the music I lived by.

Reminds me of bro hymn by pennywise

Yes but it was written a couple of years before bro Hymn

@Hugues Blais yes thats true

They were soo much better with TOUCH and GO

Ladies and Gentlemen, Gibson J Haynes

Replace the guitars with synths and you got yourself a Screamers song

Absolutely mental BAND . Totally unique. God bless em .

Walked right out the da doourr

Well.here.i.yam.

yeah like this a lot

Actually fab

you cant bring me down kerry steele. this song rocks and your dead son cannot change the fact.

What a dickhead thing to say asshole

This would be like, the absolute perfect song to have played in the background during the "come-up" montage in some crazy movie about cannibal Pcp dealers as they go around the country making mad dough and also eating people.

Pennywise bit these nxggas tho??

This sounds a lot like the pennywise song bro hymm i think they used this song for the melody

One of my favorite love songs

To all the punks gone to heaven
All the shit we put up
With
PEOPLE dont know DISCRIMINATION

all these floozy
Racism racism
The non stop chant

Are you seriously saying that punks were more discriminated against than , Black people, Jewish people or any other cultural or religious minority?
Because that would be completely stupid....unless sometime between the 70's and now there were death camps for punks....that I somehow missed
and didn't end up in......

@AZURE official no but we have our own problems and racism aint one of them

This album
Was GROUND BREAKING
Blasting around Toronto
83
Sound landscape
Mind blowing

Just another love song.

N.I.B. hihihhihhi

if the fish could waltz then they'd waltz just like this

Pennywise ripped this off pretty bad

Oh wow I never realized that ...

My favorite Butthole Surfers song

They are one my favorite bands 💜

You have good taste and I fucking miss the 80's and 90's.

@Eric Yoder dude me too and thanks 💜🤘🏻 80s and 90s by far the best music era period.

Me too🤘🏻🤡🐿

...fisga humanitária?

Imperfections...

:D Up! Anna,Christine,Tinja&Markku

someone should invent a time machine just so they can take the butthole surfers at their prime and have them play at woodstock.

the beginning reminds me of doctor rockso

WHAT IS ROCK AND ROLL ?

Who's driving this bus?

I Jack off with my blood as lube. Then rip off you pussys. Crybaby softie millennials

That's one hell of an album cover!

C L O W N S

Fuck yeah!

This track might be better than "Pepper."

@pigGRAY lots of ppl like weed aslo

Any BH Surfers is better than Pepper. They cleaned up and the music suffered tremendously.

Yeah but every other track on this album is better than human cannonball.

Better than even, you know, perhaps sucking off the family dog even, you know, it's really super what we have here.

TOUCH and GO was sooo much better ...

Hee hat druhts which hee hat diyuht

Bands and titles like this led to a LGBQ ( lesbian . gay . bi quer ) clowns and buttholes bunch of clowns haha

Faith? Is a made up story with some historiol meanings? Hand Made.Ali

Muito bom amigo! Gostei muito! William Brasil

It's a Bob Dylan ripoff! Gibby's "Pardon me, I'm only bleeding..." versus Bobby's "It's alright, Ma, I'm only bleeding..." I'm *sure* Gibby was thinking about Bobby when he wrote this. It rather sets me back on my heels, because, a little while ago, I rashly wrote (somewhere else on this site) that the Butthole Surfers didn't stoop to blatant Bob Dylan homages 'til 2001, when they released their *WEIRD REVOLUTION* album, which namedropped Dylan in the song "Mexico" ("God, Christ, Allah, Buddha,/Bob Dylan on a motor-scooter,/We love him...") and (arguably?) paid homage to a couple different Dylan song's (and to Dylan's style of surreal tall-tale songwriting) on "Dracula From Houston." (For more details on this, see what I wrote over there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oON0QqYu-Us).
Mind you, "Human Cannonball" is a brilliant song. I don't mean to imply that I *mind* the fact that it's a Bob Dylan ripoff. I mean, it's only the "I'm only bleeding" line that Gibby ripped off from Bobby. "Human Cannonball" certainly has a harder harder sound than anything Dylan ever wrote (I just love that barreling guitar-line); this isn't *folk* rock, it's *punk* rock, thank goodness! And besides that, there'd be no rock'n'roll without ripoffs...in my career (as a poet) I'll confess, I've been known to pinch a line or too from ol' Bobby myself.

I mean they literally have a song named "Sweat Loaf" on this album.

@Jj Hawn And it's literally the same riff from sweet leaf

And then the shrooms kicked in

Gator.🐊

I had this cd

I had this on cassette tape

I have it on vinyl.

I lost my mind

The Surfers were a bit of a task to get through. I saw them play hundreds of times.

John Walton hundreds...

@Shreduardo Yo I might have exaggerated a bit.

Porque estan prohibidos? Hay grupos que si alaban a satan sin pena alguna ( venom uno de Ellos) y yo se que eso es lo que importa bastante en latino America.

Jose Martinez no creo porque para empezar tienen firma con sony music y pues si si es porque se llaman los surfeadores de anos xD

Wikked wikked

I listened to this back in the 80s, it was fun but.....I've sold my soul to the Japanese. Better video games period. Fuck American games.

Saludos desde Chile. Acá Butthole Surfers esta prohibido culturalmente. Socialmente banned.
Good song tho /

Geoff R.I.P😢😢😢

Fuckin love it!

Soooooo good!

lucky to see them live

Dose dose dose and dose again

Pardon me, I'm only bleeding
But you cut me to the bone
My imperfections have reduced you
To a lowly animal

A part of me was introduced to you
And walked right out the door
And tonight you're probably feeling
Like a human cannonball

It used to be that loving you
Was easy, unrestrained
And now I'm only bleeding
But I'm loving, only pain

Pardon me, I'm only bleeding
But you cut me to the bone
And tonight you're probably feeling
Like a human cannonball

Anthony Pirko your service is greatly appreciated

Fuckin poetic.let drake oil peep
Big perppppppil
Twink peep
Twi ky peep
Sap cocky
All that garbage
