As FZ asked: 'Does Humor Belong in Music?'
If you look at a behind-the-scenes of this song's music video production, it's really interesting - they recorded all of their performance in the "plastic suits" at about half-tempo. Then the recordings were sped up to normal tempo, to emulate the sort of robotic/abrupt movements they make in the video. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Tim Alexander is such a sick drummer.

That roll at the beginning is epic af. Love the sound of his kit on that record.
….the punch of the bass drum. …….the crispness of the closed hi-hit. The closer you listen the better it gets. Yes, there are “crazier” Tim Alexander drum parts, but his choices here are incredibly tasteful. I already had utmost respect for him, then witnessed him play the entire “Farewell To Kings” Rush album a couple years ago. What a beast.
"Jerry Was A Race Car Driver" & "Tommy The Cat" show off Tim's unorthodox bass drum licks, the latter guest stars Tom Waits as Tommy. Glad you finally got the title out, this was my ex's fave Primus song and video.

Yup. I was there!
I understand why les vocals are not for everyone, but as I was raised listening to frank Zappa I thought it was hilarious and fits the wackiness of their music perfectly.
Some of my favorite Tim Alexander drumming is in the tune "Mr. Krinkle". Especially towards the end when the song picks up.
Tim’s work on this tune is so clever. Emulating a horses Gallup. Perfect
The bass drum work on this is amazing. It's almost like a roll into the main beat as opposed to the usual single beat on 1 and 3 etc.
Ler is a massively underrated guitarist. On the track “My name is mud” he found all the chords and notes that didn’t fit…. and that’s what he played, creative genius 😎

That’s an interesting choice! 🤙
I don't think I've ever thought of Les as singing... I've always thought of it as storytelling / telling tall tales with awesome musical accompaniment. And I've always been jealous that he can give the story its timing and space - and yet manage to keep his bass playing in time with the music. I can't do that.. I have to line the words up with the beat - or my bass playing would be off. Crazy.
Primus always grooves with an oddity - but it is always talent too. I just cannot ever get over Les and the bass - truly gifted and creative. Les is just brilliant (and in about 20 bands - maybe more...)
First, Larry LaLonde is a sort of underappreciated guitarist. First, he was in Possessed whose Seven Churches is taken to be the first death metal album and already some of the guitar work shines. So that's to your death metal comparison. And, in Primus, LaLonde just fills the space besides the spotlight as Les Claypool essentially is the Jimi Hendrix of bass guitar, but then, excellent musicians to support you are priceless. But perhaps a suggestion of what to further elaborate on in your Primus reaction - it's not like it weren't a rock band, but at the same time everyone in Primus is doing something slightly different, role-wise, than what's expected in a typical rock band.... the bass being the most noticeable thing, then you realize the guitarist is doing all these clever things to keep things interesting and moving (sorry, I'm a guitar player so my attention is in that direction) but what about Tim Alexander? Anything he's doing that's not just a matter of individual playing style but a sort of off-the-rails that makes sense and you can get away with exactly (and perhaps only) in this band?

Larry's intro solo to "Storm in my Mind" could go toe to toe with anyone else's in 1987.
I'd first heard of Primus through some of my German friends telling me about them having opened for Rush during their 'Roll The Bones' tour (in '91, I think - Heaven knows why I didn't go there myself?? It would turn out to be my only opportunity to see Rush in person!). Anyway, my first impression of Primus' actual music was the 'South Park' theme and 'Tommy The Cat' not long after - and I was disappointed that their style wasn't my cuppa. Until a few years ago, when YT recommended me _this_ song, and I clicked on it because the thumbnail pic looked intriguing 😀 And I loved this song straight away and especially together with its clip (There's also a 'Making of...' video, by the way), so eventually I decided to give them another shot by listening to a whole bunch of their other songs - but STILL wasn't able to get into them! 😅 Oh well... And after discovering this song, I'd first assumed that it had been released only fairly recently; I was VERY surprised when I found out it was already 25 years old at that time! 😳😄

what does primus have in common with zz top ? they both have a genre named for them. primus calls themselves "funk-thrash", and zz top is "texas-boogie".
You should check out their cover of A Farewell to Kings. I went to the concert here in Phoenix, "Herb's" home town. I wore my Rush t-shirt from 1992 when I saw them both fir the first time, and bootlegged it. Kiddos, it was a thing back in the day, like walking up hill both ways in the snow in July to school.

I loved this when it came out, when I was 15, but honestly I was maybe catching 10% of what they were actually doing musically. Honestly, Primus somehow managed to do what whole generations of atonal composers never really could. Any time you hear the bass and guitar playing notes in the same key, it's only because the two keys they're actually playing in happen to share those notes. And yet somehow it all works.
i knew your accent would trip you up on this one! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, that was a good laugh
You know... I'm not the fig plucker, I'm the fig plucker's son, but I'll pluck figs till the fig plucker comes. Try that one.

For a really good time, try Jilly’s on Smack. Kinda trippy, but really cool. There’s a live version. Bonaroo. I think.
I would also suggest "Lee Van Cleef" by Primus, as well as "Tommy the Cat"
That was tight

would much rather listen to Les Claypool sing than say, Bob Dylan. What Les may lack vocally he far exceeds with his masterful bass playing. One of the best ever, in my opinion, outside of Cliff Burton.

It's fine to say Les isn't a great singer. But he's an awesome vocalist : his delivery, pace and tune stability is flawless once you get over the tone. Heck, I'm quite sure even Maynard couldn't do the same thing with this song or with "Tommy the cat".

i liked the instrumentalists better than the singer frankly.
The vocals are unconventional and not for everyone in the same way as Geddy Lee. Do they have the best voice? Not really. Does it fit well with the band and the music? Yes. Is it unmistakable as them? Absolutely. Like you said, those are just an observation. It doesn't mean it's bad. And yes, Les Claypool gets the lion's share of the attention. But a band doesn't get to be successful with only 1 person able to play. And while Les stands out more in his "field", the other members are arguably equally accomplished.
