Butthole Surfers Lyrics


Formerly known as the Ashtray Baby Heads, this maverick
quartet from Austin, Texas, USA, made its recording debut
in 1983 with a self-titled mini-album (the name Butthole
Surfers comes from an early song about beach
transvestites). Gibson "Gibby"


Haynes (vocals) Paul Leary Walthall aka Paul Sneef (guitar)
and King Coffey (drums) were initially indebted to the
punk/hardcore scene, as shown by the startling "The Shah

Review about Butthole Surfers songs
80's indies | Reviewer: Brettwiggins
    ------ About the song Who Was In My Room Last Night? performed by Butthole Surfers

One of the great 80's indie bands. Read "our band could be your life" it really goes in depth about the most influential indies bands of the 80's. As with most bands from that era, the song that most people identify with the surfers is not even close to being their best

Great Song | Reviewer: Jdjdiahsjd
    ------ About the song Pepper performed by Butthole Surfers

    ------ About the song Pepper performed by Butthole Surfers

I heard this song for the first time, maybe just yesterday. I haven't been able to get it out of my head since! Just something about it makes it so.. addicting. If you need me, I'll be listening to it over and over again for the next few months.

Love it | Reviewer: Mark
    ------ About the song Pepper performed by Butthole Surfers

I heard this song first when my oldest song listened to it in high school. He always said he was the football player. Since I grew up with Led Zeppelin and Santana and the Beatles, I don't care for a lot of what's out there today, but I love these guys and especially this song, to me this is what great rock - or any great music is all about - a good rhythm with a good story behind it, catchy lyrics done by killer talent.

love this song | Reviewer: Nicole

    ------ About the song Pepper performed by Butthole Surfers

I'm from midland tx I love this song.... Every time I hear it it reminds me of when I just changed schools and on my first day riding the bus to school me and a few others got delayed cause we witnessed a guy playing on the train tracks he got hit.. He lost his head and much more but I thought of this song when it happened idk I went to many schools all around the US. And if you think texas kids are messed up try milton fl that will change ur mind quick!!

overanalysed | Reviewer: Bryan
    ------ About the song Pepper performed by Butthole Surfers

I went to High School in Dallas with the lead singer, Gibby Haynes. This song is just a reflection of the people in our high school. pretty messed up class I have to say. Thats all this is. Gibby was always a non conformist and this is just his statement. Its not about anything else.

Acid Rock? | Reviewer: Mikey
    ------ About the song Pepper performed by Butthole Surfers

These guys were pretty unapologetic heroin users if I'm not mistaken. What is acid rock, is it that they took a bunch of acid and make music whilst under the influence? because thats exactly what this song sounds like.

Ahh music/art interpretation. | Reviewer: Amy
    ------ About the song Pepper performed by Butthole Surfers

The first time I remember hearing this song was just as the news was breaking about the heroin epidemic in Plano in the mid- late 90s. I had probably heard it before, being an Austin native, but it's use in tributes and such link them inextricably in my mind. From that link and from the lyrics themselves I am asked to take a look at the invincibility of youth and a look at the way I think about life and death.

This song does what any piece of art should; it invites debate and conversation about topics that relate to all people, not just the target demographic of the final product.

    ------ About the song Pepper performed by Butthole Surfers

I like the song i liked it when i first heard it 18yrs ago, i had no idea who it was or what the title of the song was, i just thought it had a catchy sound to it. Then i never heard it for the longest time, until yesterday. I suppose i just kept missing it on the radio waves. Who cares what its about, its a cool song. I like Rachels take on it, it takes you back to a time.
