Monday Morning Music - So I Tickled His Chin And Gave Him A Pinch

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver - Primus


"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" is the first single off Primus's 1995 album Tales from the Punchbowl
The song's lyrics constitute an absurd, rambling tale about a woman named Wynona and her "beaver". They combine an on-the-surface crude sexual double entendre in "beaver" with the more purely nonsensical silliness typical of the band (e.g., strange references to baboons, Taco Bell, carnies, and porcupines).

 Many incorrectly believed "Wynona" was about actress Winona Ryder. Claypool has stated several times that the song is not about Ryder, pointing out that the song's name is spelled and pronounced differently. While this placated Ryder, her then boyfriend Soul Asylum vocalist David Pirner took offense and renamed one of his songs "Les Claypool's A Big Fucking Asshole" in concert.

Enjoy!
