Lyrics to Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers by Primus from the Sailing the Seas of Cheese album - including song video, artist biography, translations. Sailing the Seas of Cheese is the second studio album and major-label debut by Primus, released on May 14, 1991. It spawned three singles: Jerry Was a Race.

Bass-oriented alternative metal band, formed in California in the mid 1980s, under the original name 'Primate'. In 1989 Primus released their debut album 'Suck On This', followed by a line of successful albums in the early 1990s; 'Frizzle Fry' (1990), 'Sailing The Seas Of Cheese' (1991) and 'Pork Soda' (1993), plus their first 'covers' EP 'Miscellaneous Debris' (1992). Their fifth album, 'Tales From The Punch Bowl', went Gold before the end of 1995. During the summer of 1996 they parted ways with drummer, Tim Alexander, who was replaced by Bryan 'Brain' Mantia - making his debut on 'The Brown Album' (1997).

A second 'covers' EP 'Rhinoplasty' followed in 1998. Primus then departed from their previous approach, with the 'Antipop' album in 1999. A more metallic sound, featuring different producers on almost every track - including such notables as Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello; Limp BizKit's Fred Durst; Tom Waits; South Park creator, Matt Stone and former Police drummer Stewart Copeland. It also included such guest artists as Metallica's James Hetfield and former Faith No More guitarist, Jim Martin. Mantia left in 2000 to join Guns N' Roses. During the ensuing break, band leader/bassist Claypool focused on recording his side project, Oyster Head (which included Copeland and Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio), as well as releasing a two-part solo, 'Live Frogs: Set 1 and Set 2'.

Re-united with Tim 'Herb' Alexander in 2003, Claypool and LaLonde released the EP 'Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People' and a DVD compilation, featuring the band's videos, studio footage and rare performance bootlegs. 2006 saw the band release another DVD; 'Blame It On The Fish' featuring the band live on their 2003 tour, as well as a greatest hits package 'They Can't All Be Zingers: The Best Of Primus'. This was followed by the 'Beat A Dead Horse Tour' in 2006 and a further album. Lion disk maker for windows 7 download.

Played the venue on Halloween, touring behind their new album The Desaturating Seven an aptly themed ode to seven color stealing goblins. The album is the first original material that Claypool, guitarist Larry “Ler” LaLonde and drummer Tim “Herb” Alexander have released together since Tales From The Punchbowl was issued in 1995.

Primus started the show with “American Life,” and kept the crowd animated through a career-spanning 11-song opening set that included favorites such as “Lee Van Cleef,” “On the Tweek Again,” and “My Name is Mud”. The band teased “Too Many Puppies” switched into “Sgt. Baker,” and “Hello Skinny,” before returning to finish “Too Many Puppies.” The first set closed out with the Tales From The Punchbowl track “Over the Electric Grapevine” that incorporated teases of “Nutbutter’s House of Treats” and “Shake Hands With Beef.” Throughout the show, Claypool made comments about the crowd’s costumes, calling one concert goer a “handsome fella” when he saw that he came dressed as Woodstock 1994 Claypool. After a 10 minute set break Primus returned to play their new album which was inspired by the 1978 children’s book The Rainbow Goblins in its entirety. The The Desaturating Seven set featured psychedelic images from the book projected behind the band and giant translucent trees adorned the stage. Adding to the Halloween ambiance, stage hands were dressed in floor length black robes.
