Wynona's Big Brown Beaver Controversy Explained

Les Claypool welcomes the audience in Biloxi and then rips into Wynona's Big Brown Beaver with a pause in the middle to explain the great beaver controversy of the late 90's!

For those wondering in the beginning what he's saying is "Mmmmb bmmvb, tohad;an, safda the adduaen swphqabe to aheiahg, and waehtw, blumaabre fleaehipo sadaefa aeg ghne so we wehbe creaodh"

I'm comforted by the fact that even a legend like Les Claypool still has to peek at the fretboard now and again.

[PoppaBoogaloo]

Boomhower slayin' that dang ol' bass there, I tell you hhwut.

[pippipster]

He should do train station announcements

At 2:42 there is an easter egg in the speech Les is giving. When you listen to it at regular speed, it’s difficult to understand what he is saying, BUUUT, if you play it in reverse you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover the audio sounds just as difficult to understand.

This is why Primus sucks.

When les does the spin with his bass he gets
+4 armor +4 style +12 beaver and don't forget it buffs his weirdness stat which also buffs his thumppin strength.

I thought I was fluent in English...but I guess not so much...could barely understand 5 words of Claypool's intro speech

[mrlemurplays]

0:57 Nope, five years later you’re still the best bassist around....

[MrMyplace]

I'm naming my first born Wynona, to make sure she/he lives an enriched life

[benprice]

sounds like he is talking into a paper cup held against the wall

[TwippyTwilight]

Damn live or on video I can never make out what he's saying.

Hello there People of Biloxi and the surrounding regions. Um... Have I been here before? I've been here before, haven't I? I'm a little spacey, I'm a little bit of a space cadet. Umm... I did enjoy looking out the window at the shrimping boats and going n' wandering amongst the shrimping boats because I feel that I - I mean I'm kind of a boating fellow, soo it makes me feel good to be around what we call the Big Creek... and things that float... Ya know, I been seein' a whole lot of, a lot a little, lil faces here this evenin' and I'm enjoying that! Little fellow there, ya got a little fellow there and a little guy over here! We need to get this guy closer for the next set, for sure! We need to work that out for that guy, he's a champion! Five years he's gonna be kickin' my ass on the bass guitar, let me tell ya that right now, that's the way it works. So, ah, that's truly it, that's all I have to say to you at this point in time. We're gonna mosey on in to ahhh, in too ahh, some ahhh, some ahhh, well, some Primus tunes!

This is an obscure little number - THREE - FOUR!

Now Rex was a Texan outta New Orleans and he travelled in the carnival shows, drove bumper cars smoked cheap cigars and he 🍬 candied up his nose 👃

[fredstriker]

Listening to less is like listening to a cartoon character, for that matter watching him dance, sing, or play is the same

[WyldBillDuce]

Dude really stopped the song to break it down real quick lol

[tiluriso]

@ 2:58 - If I remember correctly, actually it wasn't Wynona Rider herself, but her then boyfriend David Pirner, singer of Soul Asylum. I remember reading on Spin or Rolling Stone at the time, he said he was going to 'kick their asses'. He never followed through with it, though.

[Lycurgus]

It does not have to make sense... even in the least bit. That is the beauty of Primus! \m/

[Spitfire-zxrj]

that confused look on the guitarist, he was like "where were we?"

[gtsteele]

Luckily, I couldn't understand a goddamn word he was saying. I want my 4 minutes back.

Les is clearly fluent in Mississippian.
