Primus - Tragedy's A' Comin' Lyrics

Damn,I always knew Primus was unique & sometimes their music doesn't fit into any one category. This song has made a new one,& I want to call it "Funk Rock"!

Únicos e inimitables.

Dude my fucking bong broke 5 minutes after the song played

That Actornot on horseback is more realistic than the actornots in "space"...

This is actually really freaking bad

Mark Haggard, is that you? 😜

Primus sucks.

Gawd I love Primus videos. The non sequitur is strong in this one.

I can't be the only one who thinks this sounds like a song from The Mighty Boosh

Sounds similar to Ballad of Bodacious

everything primus make is so fucked up I love it

Thanks Primus for some excellent music over the years.I’m never bored,always amazed.

When you get level 40 fishing in runescape

why has this video more views than the video uploaded on primus’s channel?

Ler the guitar genius

Larry Lalonde?

Everytime I listen to a Primus song for the first time I dislike it, second time it sounds good and not before long I'm on my 10th listen

Les Claypool in this video : Observe*

No offence to Larry....much love for Death Metal and Primus

Les should collaborate with Nigel Pusford

What the fuck is this shit about?😂😂😂😂 O fucking love it but dunno what the fuck Is this.

primus sucks

all neo-nazis eat maggots from rancid trash and fuck their cousins.

awesome song though.... those fucking drums....

I respect the use of the regulation horse rider outfit

When I saw the lobster I immediately thought to catch a lobster you mist be a lobster

One of their best songs

am I the only who is completely confused on why they decided to add the dancers?

Like yeah it's Primus, it doesn't have to make sense

But for me dance =/= Primus

Did someone else note there's a far barking at 4:49 when the song finishes?

How many puppies?

primus got a strange obsession with food

and fishing =]

This is soooo similar to The Ballad of Bodacious

Imagine walking outside a park maybe and seeing les claypool in a lobster suit on the ground...

Less,,    I know  u  watch  these Vids,,,   Call  me for the fishing adventure of your life !!!,,,   No strings attached,,,,   No b-shet Man,,,     Waiting,   Kodi!   @   Alaska x 40 years,,, ! x4

Green Naugahyde is for Primus what The Hunter is for Mastodon.

castaway on drums

I was listening to this in class on my phone with the music video playing and the kid next to me gave me possibly the most confused expression ive ever seen

What a great sound.

J'aime Primus à toute heure de la journée, mais je l'ADORE après minuit.

Luc Therriault - Ce n'est pas du meilleur, mais c'est bien.

OMG, is it the 60s? Love Primus Hate this!

Weird for the sake of weird.

What effect is Les using to get that tone in the main slap bass line that starts at 0:18?

PRIMUS SUCKS FOREVER!

Les kinda looks like Mads Mikkelsen in this one

just wished "the lobster" was like this

The skull is a little hard to crack, you know all that Kevlar and polycarbonate, but the meat inside is very tender.

weirdest primus video ever except for the lacquer head video

Why does this feel like a FIFA song (not a bad thing)

badass jam!

Lob Craypool.

One of my fav tunes off the record

When I first saw this video, it got me thinking... " Is anyone in Primus a vegetarian? Do they have any opinion against eating meat? Is there more to the musician dressing up as a scared lobster?"

This awesome song could have been a Funkadelic jam. Those were some awesome freak musicians.
Who's listened to "Standin' on the Verge" lately? Still Hot

George Texstel Les played with the late Bernie Worrall in his side project C2B3. I'm sure he appreciates the Funkadelic muchly.

reminds me a lot of "the ballad of bodacious"

ignoring the solo, this song is extremely easy (yet still fun as hell) to play on guitar.

sunnyvale 4 life lol

i roll with mah kitties and i'm hard as fuck.

Les Claypool is probably the only man in the world who could take a song about his mother's disease and death and turn it into a goofy video

oh that sucks. :(

Should be relabeled "The Trump Song"

Two hands
Two scoops
Two genders
Two terms
😁👌

if you like that song, without the guy disguised in a lobster, you need to take a hammer to the head repeatedly.

Sounds like Antipop Here

Primus sucks!

Maynard from tool should have been the waiter

Justin Tyler he looked like it didn’t he

tragedy of the lobster dancing in butter

whats your mental illness, iam Canadian

wow 2:14 says it all about corrupt hillarys theme song....oh shit ! ... its right on about her! lol...

This song has nothing to do with her. Take your Trump boner else where, you don't belong Primus sucks.

@SwimHelper Da_Killa_Ounze ha ha ha ...primus sucks and we won...but u really suck

rsd338 Fuck them both

@DFM Bass and you 2

rsd338 haha you don't even know primus sucks, you must suck.

primus sucks

Les Craypool. laugh at my horrible pun.

Arbiter1912 i hate u but i also love u for that

That's an awesome pun!

I like it.

the hell happened to my comment

69th comment like. I love puns

Always the sea,do you see?classic primus.

Pretty similar to Bodacious but good song nontheless

Similar, but cooler!

Primus Tragedy`s A Comin-2011
Les Claypool-Lead Vocal , Bass Guitarr
Jay Lane-Drums,Backing Vocals
Larry Lalonde-Guitarr

I f-ing LOVE this band! They probably ain't the best in the world of music, as a whole but they are beyond a doubt one of the COOLEST! MY big brown beaver and I listen to them almost every day.

wrong on one thing...80% of musicians dont have anywhere near the talent of all three

legendarily cool!

Great!!now mu broke Ass is Hungry for sea
FOOD!!!!

I like how Primus has appropriate theme songs for everything.

'Bout time they replaced that Claypool feller with a crawdad.

Justin Trovrt Damn thats funny

🤔where is the fucking lobster in emoji?🦀

jajajajajajajajj fckn fckn crazy !!!!

He even mentions cancer in the song.

I didn't get it

Les has a facial hair face like Rowan Atkinson, he suits soup straining equipment a lot and just looks damned strange when clean shaven.

ITS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE

Les about this song:
"There's a lot of crazy s--t in my life right now: My mom is fading away from us; she's not going to be around much longer. My little nephew was diagnosed with leukaemia at only two months old. I have friends battling cancer. When I wrote that song, I was just like, 'Holy f---ing hell…' Whatever metaphor you want to use: Into everyone's life a little rain must fall. Well, there you go – Tragedy's A-Comin'. The funny thing is, the music to that song is very uplifting. I love the contrast of it. From Tommy The Cat to Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, there's a lot of tragic figures in my music and Primus' music. It's just the way I exorcise my demons, through these kinds of people."

Why lobsters though?

Mr. Futago why not?

@Mr. Futago That Lobster knows that it takes just one customer of that restaurant who wants him on his menu.

It takes just ONE who will go "I'll have the lobster!"

Didn't know Maynard James Keenan was a waiter.

+Infidel Freedom looks like the dude from "The presidents of the united states of america" more than maynard

What a bunch of Lobsters,man...Really.....Seriously.....C'mon.....I....mean....Really....

What is that Synthesizer that's going wa wa wa?

+Julian Scarbrough I think it's just a Wah-wah pedal but he may also use a whammy pedal in parts, I'm not sure.

It's bass synthesizer pedal or envelope filter. I guess synth

Do you know why Primus is dyin'? Because it has cancer *BADUM TSSS*

its funny because he cant eat the lobster wearing a spacesuit

that's the tragedy

I didnt know Johnny Depp could play bass like that

Johnny Depp plays Pirates, not Bass.

Gonzaa Rmt.....HMMMMM NEAT....PRIMUS SUCKS FOREVER!

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah

He looks so much like vince gilligan tho

@Greg Turner More cowbell!

Les Claypool looks kind of like Egoraptor in that lobster suit.

+Jacob K Les Claypool looks like he hasn't left the inside world since frizzle fry

When are these guys gonna stop sucking??

their not and never will

People who Troll SUCK

LOVE THE TRUTH BUT THEY DON'T SEE IT

FLAT EARTH WAKE UP PRIMUS PEOPLE

Reminds me of Bodacious.

les kinda looks like Johnny depp

@Greg Turner XD

How shallow. Very insulting to Les.

you mean johnny depp kinda looks like les.

I'm very impressed with Les. Johnny, not so much.

No, Johnny Depp looks like Les Claypool. 👌

El casco atrae un misterio... O.o

the guitar playing starting at 3:39 is awesome; I wish they had built more of the song around it.

they did. in the beginning

Marc Dominguez Lol

Would be dope if the whole song was based on that riff instead of the rythym he's got for it

@Jay Doe https://youtu.be/8DiWzvE52ZY

Oh Man oh man, I really don't know what part of is brain those ideas coming from but i got to say he's got amazing imaginary.....

Damn my bastard pride..

I oddly enjoyed that

+DTMC215
Don't Tell Anyone.

Great song, by Primus ( as usual)  astronaut  riding a horse , like it....
