Butthole Surfers - The Hurdy Gurdy Man Lyrics
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquillity.
'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity.
'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Here comes the roly poly man and he's singing songs of love,
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly, poly he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang,
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang

Butthole Surfers The Hurdy Gurdy Man Comments
fucken hell, almost looks like fun!!! hope yous are still doing ok.
So Geil
Another turd version. It can't be redone. Move on.
Parece Deep Web
Offff da nutt!!!! Lol
Best song ever
du pur génie
The original is far better than this...
Donovan must be thinking to himself "This is what I actually meant to do, but ran out of acid."
I still remember when I was a kid me and my brother used to listen to a certain cassete tape as we went to sleep, for some reason I always fell asleep before this song would come on, one night it woke me up in the middle of the night and I had no idea what was going on and I was completely horrified it was awful and I still remember it to this day.
Heath Kirchart brought me here.
this is a cursed video
This is why I watched 120 minutes
creep 😲
No cunts on me drugstable!
This song makes me sad as fuck and I don't know why. So does Donovan's version. Both just give me an overwhelming blanket of sadness.
Me I love this song, and this band. Long live.
Man it would have been awesome to hang out with these guys back in the day
Col. Greasebag McQueen I did
@Stop the Philosophical Zombies That's awesome! I'd like to hear the story if you're willing.
my greatest life achivement was being born early enough to remember the 90s and its glory. its like being half as cool as an 80s kid, you always strived to be that but the handme downs made you feel the part,
To be perfectly honest: this version sounds so much more psychedelic than the original version by Donovan. I prefer it over the original...
I'm menthal patient,what what what??'?''?',like,what what what
I relapse listening to this and I'm comfortable with it
That isnt donovan and it sucks. Thanks for submitting your shits
Next time i am doing acid i know wath i will listen.
When mtv was good
Gibby's all freakin out inside the car 'NOOOOO!!!!!! YOURE KILLING THAT STEAK!!!!!!!!"
i still hurdy gurdy always will
Yes those were the days, but if Bill and Ted taught us anything given the world is not at peace, the best music has not yet been created 😔🙏
I call this troll rock
Sounds like every song when tripping on shrooms.
Dumb and Dumber
I almost liked this but then remembered "Pepper" would be in recommendations for months...
The original by Donovan from the 60's is better because you can actually understand it.
Is there any lyrics in this song, or is it intended to be random?
This is terrible
Im innocence
It's so pretty but so fucking weird
I really don't understand why tis isn't the most successfull song ever.
Well Donovan's original release was a top 5 hit in both the US and the UK, and it's still well known some 50 years after its release, so I guess it's pretty damned successful.
@Malcolm Short Not to mention the original version of this gorgeous song--written and performed by the legendary "Donovan"--was/is far superior to this version by Butthole Surfers. Which says quite a lot about the Donovan version, because I enjoy this BHS rendition as well, however, it simply can't touch the original.
To me BS up there with the residents
The 60s pretended to be f'd up. The 90s make the 80s look like the 50s. And we're 20 years past that.

Man, I miss being young and dumb. Chillin’ with friends.
Sammy Mac You mean being dumb and dumber, no?
lurch321 basically. Lol
The product of LSD daydreams right here folks.
When you have a budget of $100 for a music video and spend $99 of it on drugs.
Pass me your iPhone. I got this
I'm assuming this was just a casual day they decided to film.
@Janice Sunseri massive amounts of LSD
@LeeStaggers25 I found out in my 20s that you can develope resistance to LSD if you take it every day.
@Janice Sunserimushrooms for the win
i cant take them seriously especially this one :D
First heard they guys frying on acid lol wat a ride I think the album was called Rembrandt puusy whores I think good band I love em even now that I'm sober rock n metal rules
Foamy apple juice.
looks like gummo soundtrack
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility.

A vastly underrated band.
This one's my favorite.
I always play this to mess with people's minds
It works
Ladies & Gentleman,this is The ButtholeSurfers,straith ahead from San Antonio - TX
thank you butthole surfers i didnt knwo this was a cover
anyone else's favorite part 2:05 ?
Not mine
There was enough stuff ingested before that video shoot to scare off Hunter Thompson
Pretty fly for hi-fi.
SURE FUCKED UP a GREAT SONG 👎
Does anyone have the lyrics lol
Better than the original imo...
This is really weird. I love it.
I was born in 91. My first cd was a compilation record my dad bought me when I was 4 and I don't remember if it was this song but there was a Butthole Surfers song on there. This song was definitely prominent in my childhood regardless. Crazy that 20 some years later I'm rippin a bong to this one. Here's to the 90s kids.
Foamy Apple Juice LMFAO THE BEST!
Foamy Apple Juice LMFAO THE BEST!
this aint donavon
WHAT THE FUCK AM I WATCHING'
Pale comparison to the original. Good try though.
Me gustaría que MTV sea el mismo de antes, el de los 90
Super cover.
Does anyone know in what place, state or city of the USA this clip was recorded? Thank you
This is better that the whole fuckn album wuz..."Foamy Apple Juice", indeed!
i watch this almost everyday before i go to work. thank you
my wtfmeter just broke
Alright guys, we need to make a video. What do we have?
"A bunch of strange clothes and a grill."
Ok, let's get to work.
they were so high on acid. how did they even make it thru most of their years i have no idea
Butthole Surfers were so awesome before Gibby hooked up with Al Jourgenson and lost the script..
This video makes me think of fear of death, on how absurd it is and yet we're bound to be cursed by it... and before you ask yes i am high right now
Mother Of Oblivion Don't spend your life worrying man, enjoy the ride while you still have time.
satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas - And when that ride comes to an end, just remember “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” - Hunter S. Thompson”
however correct
Life's a fragile thing Har, one minute you're chewing on a burger, than the next minute you're dead meat!
I'd love to see the behind-the-scenes for this
I think this was that.
The best cover song and perhaps one of the best videos of all time. Way to go Butthole Surfers, even the name of the group is cool
First time I heard this it was on full blast and I was on cid Lol
Dumb and Dumber 1994

Quand on n'a aucun talent on vampirise celui des autres. Version absolument inutile.
Rest in peace, Wogg.
You deserved better than this world. Thank you, for everything you showed me, everything you taught me.
I was never a good enough friend, but I'll do everything I can to justify and vindicate your memory... you were a beautiful person the world could not have been more privileged to know.
I pray that what you found beyond our world was better. You, of all people, deserve the rest...
They were one of mu favorite bands, the some asshole patent complained about the pencil in the ear on ELECTRIC LARRY LAND and, while they were at it, wanted them to change their name. The beginning of the end. Damn you PTC.
This is fucking amazing.
i know its old but man is that cover bad
Mi hha naa hanna ninaa nananinaa haa
