Primus - Ballad Of Bodacious Lyrics






Bodacious am a whole lotta' bull
over nineteen hundred pounds.
He's born in Galry, Oklahoma
and he's the baddest sonsabitch around
if a Burma bull ever were a super star
then Bodacious just might be.
He's a cream colored, beefy brawn,
full-fledged, four footed bovine celebrity.

Who's gonna ride Bodacious?
Who's gonna tame him down?
Look out for Bodacious,
he's bound to hold his ground.
Here comes Bodacious,
ya'll just step aside.
Big and bad Bodacious
takes a toll from those who ride.

Young Bo met a man named Tuff Hedeman
at the start of his buckin' spree
and Tuff became one of the few to make the whistle
bkac in Nineteen Ninety Three.

Tuff tried to ride Bo again at the finals
in Nineteen Ninety Five.
Bodacious had got a little older and wiser
Tuff barely came out alive.

Primus Ballad Of Bodacious Comments
  1. J.... C....

    Goddamn Bodacious' bastard pride. Tragedies A Coming, and he cannot run and hide.

  2. l.... ....

    Tragedies A'comin sounds very similar to this song

    l.... ....

    Thank you.

  3. J.... M....

    Primus SUCKS

  4. R.... J....

    The Wynona's Big Brown Beaver of 1999.

  5. t.... a....

    This song is just as badass as Bodacious himself. It doesn't buck as hard though. Nothing does.

  6. m.... g....

    I like to go to country bars and ask does anyone want to hear some rodeo music? then i play this!

  7. V.... ....

    And that's how you play the drums.

  8. O.... K....

    I listened to this when I was like 5 or 6 with my dad in his 66 Chevy and I still jam to this. Primus is pretty badass.

  9. S.... O....

    Primus huffs...

  10. G.... M....

    Amazing album

  11. A.... Y....

    ngl primus is pretty good

  12. M.... K....

    Huff nitrous and then listen.... you're welcome assholes 😂

  13. f.... _....

    Disliked cause the image for this video is not the bull from the Tommy the Cat video.

  14. D.... P....

    I love song it is badass

  15. D.... P....

    And I feel so bad for tuff

  16. D.... P....

    Bodacious was a badass!!

  17. J.... *....

    Guess what?
    P R I M U S




    S U U U U U U CKERS!




    Thought I was gonna provide y'all with yet another suck....nope.

  18. D.... B....

    Mason Lowe hates this song.

    D.... B....

    I had to google that and yikes... Then again, he was a professional dumbass, so not entirely unexpected.

  19. F.... ....

    Les was a friend of Kirk hammets and after cliff died Kirk got him a try out for the band. After they all jammed for a while James said no way...the guy is in a bass league all his own. It would have been metallica featuring les had he joined the band.

  20. P.... ....

    I listen to Slayer and Death on the daily, yet The Primus mascot is the one who always haunts My dreams

  21. L.... ....

    A most bodacious perfromance by primus

    L.... ....

    That comment should have more likes than just mine.

  22. L.... R....

    One my favorites ...kicks ass..
    Primus Sucks n so does Tom Morello...

  23. N.... T....

    so funky

    N.... T....

    why does this sound like a bad transition to the 80s from a good progressive rock band

  24. L.... C....

    Another reason, I love Les Claypool. I watched Bodacious back in the day, and i... believe... he retired unridden?? Yes, I've just in the last 2 months discovered Primus at 52. :o

  25. M.... A....

    I really love this song!

  26. j.... ....

    big FAT ASS bodacious

  27. U.... R....

    Bodacious, the best athlete on 4 feet!

    U.... R....

    Uncle Rob Bushwacker was a better bull. Bodacious had that head snap back head butt he would throw right after kicking up his hind end. The rider was thrown forward just as Bodacious was snapping his head back. Nothing a rider could do.

  28. C.... m....

    Love the description, yep

  29. S.... l....

    PRIMUS SUCKS A LOT

  30. R.... R....

    Y'all haters probably went to the concert sober or something. If it hadn't been for that one cool chick that you regret not running away with, you probably would've never given them a chance(+_+)

  31. C.... B....

    R.i.p bro

  32. C.... B....

    Bad to the bon

  33. C.... B....

    I love this song

  34. p.... h....

    So let me see if I understand. You got on this thread by listening to a Primus video. You did this because you're a fan or had some interest in the band or its music. No? You just got on this thread to post the comment "Primus sucks"? Really? A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Why don't you start using yours instead........

    p.... h....

    phil haines "Primus sucks" was their actual endorsed by the band slogan for a while,don't ya know.

    p.... h....

    Primus Sucks!

    p.... h....

    Hopefully you know that true Primus fans are the ones that are saying Primus Sucks! Google it. It's their thing.

    p.... h....

    But Phil needs to do research and use his mind. PRIMUS SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!

    p.... h....

    Hahaha. Who needs to educate themselves now Phil? Lol

  35. D.... W....

    This album kicks major ass love primus

  36. E.... J....

    Omfg this song fukin blows so bad. fuck Bodacious and fuck Primus. Primus Sucks ! I cant stand wicked or original music. Or dirt skanky bass.

  37. s.... ....

    toast to the bull that won! I salute you

  38. S.... ....

    After all these years; Primus still suck...

  39. J.... L....

    Hell yes

  40. Z.... M....

    RIP Bodacious, a bull so badass he was retired in his prime. "...Tuff tried to ride Bo again at the finals in 1995, but Bodacious had gotten a little older and wiser and Tuff barely got out alive." Bo broke all the bones in Tuff's face, requiring six hours of reconstructive surgery.

    Z.... M....

    Everybody that rode him only beat BO when he was younger & under weight.Once BO was in his prime & learned that head butt it was over with! BO wasn't having none of it.

    Z.... M....

    True story!

    Z.... M....

    It was 13 hours of reconstructive surgery but yeah Bo was a bada$$

  41. F.... S....

    I saw Primus and Rush years ago and Claypool blew me away...PRIMUS SUCKS

    F.... S....

    Damn, Primus and Rush in the same concert?

    Sign me the fuck up.

    F.... S....

    That sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

    F.... S....

    Hi, I'm not a fan of Rush, not my thing, really, but I appreciate that they are considered top of their game, one of my things to do in life is to see a Primus concert a least once..........

    F.... S....

    You know Les doesn’t really like the Primus Sucks thing. It’s one of those organic things that was cool at first, but has been driven into the ground.

  42. f.... a....

    One word bitches PRIMUS!!

    f.... a....

    two words PRIMUS SUCKZ!! lol

  43. S.... ....

    have they EVER played this live?

    S.... ....

    +Shieldz64 I am also curious about that

    S.... ....

    I haven't heard this one but have seen dirty drowning man live

    S.... ....

    Look up primus on setlist.fm

  44. M.... ....

    Primus, the only band with their own ID3 tag... guess why?
    Because PRIMUS SUCKS!


    PS: To the Newbies, that means: Primus is even better than yo Mama, and you'll just have to deal with it...

    M.... ....

    @MrNodebate I didn't know of them till this year, tbh.

    M.... ....

    @Tom Schmidt
    Well, you'd be surprised;) But check the comment sections yourself of a couple of songs: my guess is it happens about 50% of the time when "Primus sucks" is used as a slogan that a newbie thinks you literally mean it...

    M.... ....

    +Nikolai Maness Fair enough! Gotta love Primus eh!?

    M.... ....

    @hockeyexpert81
    Always good to have new sailors on deck ;)
    Fish on!

    M.... ....

    MrNodebate wait why give me good reason

  45. B.... B....

    whenever i feel down i just liusten to this song

  46. F.... G....

    Bodacious pees on the dislikers.... so far three peed upon.....squish squish squish

  47. U.... M....

    this song highly resambles Tragedy's A' Comin'...

    U.... M....

    +Uri Man great observation, I cant belive I didnt notice before

    U.... M....

    +Uri Man Except this one has a sicker guitar

    U.... M....

    +Jose tomas B. M. i think its buckethead

    U.... M....

    Took the words right outta my mouth.... must have been while you were fistin me

    U.... M....

    @Justin Brown you replied the right way to that imbecile swine

  48. J.... S....

    I always wondered why this album had more of a raw funk feel compared to their other stuff, then I saw it was produced by Tom Morello.

    J.... S....

    @James Schmitt There's a lot of producers on Antipop (Tom Morello on this, Stewart Copeland on Dirty Drowning Man for example). I even think Fred Durst did one of them too.

    J.... S....

    James Hetfield co-produced one of the middle songs on the album too. I believe Lacquer head is the one with Fred Durst. Also, the guy who voiced Tommy the Cat also does a backing vocal for Coattails of a Deadman song (2nd last one on the album). Whats his name....? Ah I remember now. Tom Waits.

    J.... S....

    thats fuckin so damn cool, it's creative people like les claypool and tom waits who truly have created art, like it or not, there is nobody who can say les copied his style, influences like tom waits i'm sure can only show you how they do it, by creating it from their wtf minds and fuck how everyone else does it, check tom waits music out if you've never heard anything from him

    J.... S....

    Noooo shit!!?!?

  49. 1.... ....

    Fucking love this fucking song !......Fuck !

  50. T.... ....

    country or metal, I don't know. But what I do know is that they are the best freaking polka band I've ever heard!

  51. s.... ....

    @TheTrainFace id love to see them, as a fellow primus fan :)

  52. t.... m....

    0:05 Open E string.... ( nasty open E )

  53. E.... ....

    It's not metal, It's not country, there only Four words can describe this those are LES MOTHA'FUCKIN CLAYPOOL. an i like the fact that Bodacious is a bull.

    E.... ....

    3 words

  54. J.... K....

    Primus does suck, but I have a lovely pair of coconuts.

    J.... K....

    HIS COCONUT GUN CAN FIRE IN SPURTS

  55. B.... W....

    @XmegaXandrewX
    Because somebody said it was. Anyone can put whatever label they want on anything. Does it matter? No.

  56. M.... ....

    @XmegaXandrewX Les himself has described he music as a sort of metal in the past. And as for country, frankly Les sings like a hillbilly sometimes lol.

  57. S.... k....

    @NomoTheDomo Always.

  58. S.... ....

    Is this Les singing?

  59. T.... C....

    @Quiltfish yeah apparently the dude had "input" on this album.... i'm not sure primus would, or could, sustain such "input"... even if they'd tried they'd have made him irrelevant by their output.
    follow? i'm sure you do

  60. b.... ....

    i don't know why this would be good. it sucks!!

  61. T.... ....

    Primus sucks!

  62. F.... C....

    @scazi1017 people who think primus is being slandered are awsome

  65. M.... ....

    This almost sounds like graham central station

  66. H.... ....

    People are so horney about dubstep, and yeah, it is pretty cool, but primus sucks!

    H.... ....

    Fuck dubstep and fuck you

  67. C.... G....

  72. M.... ....

    I noticed that nobody has disliked this song. Bodacious is the baddest sonsabitch around !! PRIMUS SUCKS !!

  73. B.... D....

    @themooddisorders Fred Durst produced "Lacquer Head", not this one.

  74. a.... ....

    @scazi1017 in that case, I Have A Lovely Pair of Coconuts because Primus Sucks.

  75. a.... ....

    Its about a bull. who else knew that?

  76. L.... B....

    @JASONvsBOSCO yeah I don't get it. I'll admit I'm not much of a Primus fan.. I'm more of a King Crimson fan, note the name, if you don't get it your not a KK fan!(lol)

  77. J.... ....

    @MrAdrianbelew I don't think he means Primus sucks! I think he means Primus sucks! If you don't get it you aren't a Primus fan...

  78. L.... B....

    @picklefucker555 They don't really take their own music seriously so that's kind of a dumb thing to say. Also, compared to almost any popular band now-a-days they're really good.

  79. 8.... ....

    @bigge0369 Sweet! :D

  80. 8.... ....

    @bigge0369 Tuff rode him! Then turned him out on the next draw after his wreck.

  81. j.... ....

    i wish i knew of this band ten years ago

  82. J.... C....

    this is the best primus song, and all there songs are good :D

  83. s.... ....

    @scazi1017 It's like black people using the N word. They own it and so the soulless masses that really do think they suck have no effect on them. PRIMUS SUCKS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  84. J.... C....

    @EpicRetardation Fuck Yer. primus is the shit

  85. A.... b....

    @KreatorOfDeath1985 Fred Durst is a person/ thing you should be glad you don't know...

  86. F.... ....

  87. F.... ....
