Weird song from the 2000s??

Submitted by Pleaseburnme420 t3_ygacne in Music

(Asked and Answered) I'm trying to remember a song a vaguely remember listing to in the late 2000's I think. The dude has a really mono tone voice and he's just kinda talking.. I'm pretty sure the chorus says something about a fountain?? Sorry the song is on the tip of my tounge I just can't remember the words enough to find it.

Sounds to me like Pepper, by Butthole Surfers. But it’s ‘mountain’ and not ‘fountain’

They were all in love with dying, they were drinking from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche, coming down the mountain

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes.

Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies.

You never know just how you look through other people's eyes.

This song came out in 1996. It was # 1 on the US Modern Rock charts. You couldn't escape this song in the summer of 1996.

Here's the real question...

Were they surfing on buttholes or were they surfers that were buttholes?

I never even thought to question this, I thought they surfed on buttholes.

Wellnyou could expand that discussion. Before they were the butthole surgers they had another band name.

since it's already been answered, I will just pop in to agree that it is indeed a strange song

though the stranger thing in that instance was having a song played on the radio and MTV by a band called THE BUTTHOLE SURFERS

What a great band. They're as much a part of Texas as oil.

ramen_vape t1_iu9yw1w wrote

Almost lol, but Texans are very inspired by our own alternative rock scene, I think. Butthole Surfers, Pantera, Mars Volta are all really influential groups. Toadies.

Dramatic-Ad-2581 t1_iuadtqn wrote

There is something very unique about Texan music. Those cats you mentioned, Townes van Zandt, Roy Orbison, The Geto Boys, DRI, countless weird punk bands, plus all of the early blues/country/folk artists who probably fostered newer artists sense of adventure

Great song and the Butthole Surfers are a solid band!

Fun fact, they hate what this song did to them.

Wasn’t enough juice to break them fully in to the mainstream, but just enough to make them “uncool” to their long time fans.

Surely U2 is never going to be an answer if someone is asking for a song
