Butt Trumpet were a bit cruder than your typical Headbangers Ball schleps, with obscenity-stuffed lyrics and vivid scenes of dead dogs in garages—front woman Bianca Butthole (later of Betty Blowtorch) more often than not sounds like she wants to rip your fucking head off. Today's 12 O'Clock Track was a tough choice, because I've been revisiting Butt Trumpet songs all day and each is worthy in its own endearing, NSFW way—"I've Been So Mad Lately," whose lyrics are almost entirely profanities, nearly won out.
But after careful deliberation, I went with the band's most "popular" song, "I'm Ugly and I Don't Know Why," partially for nostalgic value but mainly for Bianca Butthole's incredible closing rant about losing her second-grade love, Danny Irving, to Heidi Weller and her handful of pumpkin seeds. I've never heard it sound so good.
