This is a great song, and the video is even better. If you’ve not seen it before, I definitely recommend clicking the link below.
I love the sense of humor of this song, as well as the genre styles of the band. Alternating from rock and funk to a bluegrass feel at times, this song is just plain fun. It’s your basic silly Primus song, seemingly about nothing other than a humorous double entendré, but it’s still got a depth of it’s own from within the music.
And of course, the lyrics:
Wynona’s got herself a Big Brown Beaver
and she shows it off to all her friends.
One day you know that beaver tried to leave her
so she caged him up with cyclone fence.
Along came Lou with the old baboon
and said “recognize that smell?”
“Smells like seven layers,
that beaver eats at Taco Bell.”
Now Rex was a Texan out of New Orleans,
and he traveled with the carnival shows.
He ran bumper cars, sucked cheap cigars,
and he candied up his nose.
He caught wind of the Big Brown Beaver
so he thought he’d take himself a peek.
But the beaver was quick and it grabbed ‘em by the kiwis
and he ain’t pissed for a week
(and a half)
Wynona took her Big Brown Beaver and
stuck ‘em up in the air.
Said, “I sure do love this Big Brown Beaver,
and I wish I did have a pair.”
Wynona loved her Big Brown Beaver
and she stroked ‘em all the time.
She pricked her finger one day,
and it ocured to her:
She might have a porcupine!
