So finally got around to checking out some of Les Claypools new material.

Figured I'd post this song, as not only is it a fairly decent "epic", there is a nice part of the video around 6:24 when they list a variety of Conspiracies.

I figured I'd post the lyrics and video here for our enjoyment.






Lloyd Boyd was conspiranoid
Barking chemtrails in the skies
Claiming Bill Gates has put microchips
In all the chicken pot pies
Launching himself in his lawnchair
Proving the earth was flat
Microwaving his burritos
Now he always wears his tinfoil hat

Conspiranoia
Conspiranoia
Conspiranoia
Marion Barrion, contrarian
Felt Dr. Tony was selling her lies
So to keep from getting the big bad flu
She sprinkled cat urine into her eyes
With garlic cloves in her nostrils
And drier sheets taped to her head
Marion Barrion, contrarian
Is now stinking up a hospital bed

Conspiranoia
Conspiranoia
Conspiranoia

Can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make him drink
You can guide a fool towards logic
But you'll rarely make him think
Be wary of conspiranoia
As purveyors abound
For an open mind too open
Spills its contеnts on the ground

Conspiranoia
Conspiranoia
Conspiranoia
Conspiranoia
Conspiranoia
Conspiranoia

Let me tеll you something about Betty White
That the lamestream media won't report
She died of a COVID booster shot
She was also Barbara Bush's secret sister

Cow dung will protect everyone
It's scientifically proven that cow dung is anti-radiation
This is a chip that can be used in mobile phones to reduce radiation
It'll safeguard people against diseases

Which leads us to chemtrails
Scientists and governments are seeding the atmosphere
Implementing biological warfare and population control
And geoengineering a race of superhuman Jews

We are ruled by a race of extraterrestrial beings
Who came to Earth around five hundred thousand years ago
In order to mine gold
They are a race of blood-drinking, shape-shifting alien reptiles
And have infiltrated the Bush family, Margaret Thatcher, Bob Hope, and the British royals, among others

JFK Jr. is alive and well
He did not die in a plane crash off the coast of Martha's Vineyard in '99
He's gonna appear here in Dealey Plaza fifty-eight years after his father's assassination
To announce that he'll be Donald Trump's running mate in 2024.
The Earth is not a sphere
And evidence has been faked or suppressed
To hide the fact that it is instead a disk
Or a single infinite plane
GPS devices are rigged to make aircraft pilots wrongly believe
That they are flying around the globe

The Camp Fire in California
Destroyed over a hundred and fifty-three thousand acres, eighteen thousand structures, resulting [?]
If it was caused by a downed power line
Why did numerous witnesses [?]
Do you really believe it's coincidence that the fires also burned
The areas of Jerry Brown's projected seventy-seven million-dollar high speed railway project
[?]
'Cause I don't
Not when the evidence is right in front of our faces
Jewish space lasers


What do you guys think? Does Les take any of these seriously? Or is he poking fun?

It sounds like the old band, les, ler and herb. Ler has long been one of my favorite guitarists. His lines are always fresh and unique. Epic is the right term, longest song by Primus I can think of but that's ok. I had to laugh at many of the conspiracies mentioned, I think cow dung is my favorite.

Can't wait to listen, at work at the moment. Claypool is a madman

Ha! I started playing the bass guitar at 14 due to Les Claypool! Hands down the best bassist of all time!

At 8:20 in the video it says: “She died of a Covid booster shot”.

Damn, this video is on par with I Pet Goat. So much imagery and symbolism. Down the Claypool rabbit hole we go……

I've always loved Claypool.
This song makes me question that.
It sounds like he's Anti conspiracy, pro Fauci.

Is he trying to be stupid, edgy, or nefarious?

stop taking yourself too seriously, and realize there's a line between questioning things and being a conspiracy freak (like people who believe the earth is flat)


Primus sucks!

Surely that statement sounded smarter in your head.
A fine line is a small difference.
Comparing flat earth with questions makes zero sense dude.




Primus sucks!


Sorry, but he's one of the best bass players alive.
Also one of the best jam bands alive.
He's also not new to conspiracy songs, like this one.

Some more killer, non mainstream jams...

I've recently gotten his Four Foot Shack album, I actually like it quite a bit.

Makes me wanna go fishing. Talk about foot stomping.


Les is definitely one of my favorite living artists, he's always had strange ideas and never ceased to amaze me with his story telling through music. Definitely an inspiration.

Were you unaware that the phrase "Primus Sucks" is actually a term of affection?

On Comedy Central next week, they're going to air the South Park 25th Anniversary Concert with musical performances from Trey Parker & Matt Stone, Primus, and Ween. It takes place at Red Rocks Amphiteatre in Colorado on August 10, 2022.

It's gonna be on Comedy Central at 10 PM on August 13.

Here's the one that reminds me of fishing.

Les is just trying to sound relevant. What he really needs is just 1.5 more million dollars.
Come on man.
He was the shi# back in the 90's
But, now he doesn't know shi# from Shinola

I dunno man, I just listened to the The Claypool Lennon Delirium: Monolith of Phobos album released in 2016 with Sean Lennon. I have it on vinyl, with a decent system, but uh, this album kind of blew me away.

I would suggest a dedicated listening session to anyone who hasn't heard it. A little chemical assistance may help but is not required!
