'Whip It' by Devo. It was the most weirdly 80's thing ever. I thought it was maybe even a novelty song or something. Which it is, kinda.

Also, Morbid Angel.

"Rattled by the Rush" appeared at about the same time I started listening to Pavement.

I think that I heard "If I Only Had A Brain" by MC 900 ft Jesus for the first time on B&B.

Butthole Surfers of course.

It is a shame Beavis and Butthead is not around anymore as some of the videos I have seen on the new Headbangers Ball and video shows on Fuse are dying to be given the B&B treatment.

Flaming Lips seconded
Whale - Hobo Humping Slobo Babe
Beck - Paid In Mind (uh, he's like the kid who gets in the gifted class)

And all kinds of weird early 90s alt stuff like Nitzer Ebb and Prong.

― Stew (stew s), Monday, 17 October 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

I think the first time I heard Pavement was on Beavis and Butthead.

MOWIN' THE LAWN, MOWIN' THE LAWN...

I only know their one song, but whatever group it is that does the "do you hear me? Do you care?" song.

That mc 900ft jesus video is a good example of songs that are only good when you watch them on Beavis and Butthead.

That list could use some updates. There is no Ween song called "Spirit of '76."

― billstevejim (billstevejim), Saturday, 19 November 2005 02:46 (twenty years ago)

letters to cleo... that song here and now may have been a little gay in retrospect, but it was also pretty sweet

― bbogucki, Saturday, 19 November 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

Whoever it was that sang that that went something like
"the plantman knows when the plants will grow"

Gay Young (ex Pavement Drummer) "Plant Man"

"...cause he's the plantman! He's the Plantman!"

I think Thurston from Sonic Youth was in that video.

― Pants Malone, Thursday, 1 December 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

the liar! the guy painted red. who is that??

― Heywood Jablowme, Tuesday, 13 December 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

The Plant Man bit is one of my most distinct memories of the show. "So his parents bought him a guitar, and he couldn't play that either, but he's like, I can do this cool thing on the drums!" I think it's Beavis who says that the little tom roll is the only thing he can play on the drums...

The Best of Beavis & Butthead

― Chris H. (chrisherbert), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

Greta - whose existence was contrived merely for their (and our) amusement, or so it would seem.

― Steve Gertz (sgertz), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

Radiohead. Oo;

― sonore (sonore), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 04:23 (twenty years ago)

I do remember laughing myself silly when they showed (I think) Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Peek-A-Boo" and they cut to Beavis & Butthead, blank-faced and dumbfounded with "what-the-fuck," until the video ended.

― Myke Weiskopf (Myke Weiskopf), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 05:00 (twenty years ago)

Bjork (Human Behaviour)
Slayer (Seasons in the Abyss)

― Elliot (Elliot), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 07:27 (twenty years ago)

seven years pass...

for me it was Crowbar and Mercyful Fate.

plus it made me call my mother to pick up Vulgar Display of Power one day (she worked across from Camelot Music).

literally just realized the other day that I"ve been listening to Crowbar longer than Slayer, aka a band I have tattooed on my right arm.

why? simple....I saw them on Beavis and Butthead, one was satanic, one wasn't, and I was still a thumper.

their albums are kinda same-y but I will always stan for Broken Glass

― Weltanschauung Dunston (Neanderthal), Thursday, 18 August 2022 00:56 (three years ago)

still best Beavis and Butthead moment is Hum hitting the distortion pedal at the beginning of Stars and Butthead going "uhh....it's over!"
