Butthole Surfers Release Crazy Video For “Intelligent Guy”…“We are not and never were in the business of being intelligent,” laughs guitarist Paul Leary of psychedelic post-punk sonic terrorists BUTTHOLE SURFERS about their ironically named single “INTELLIGENT GUY” from their upcoming album AFTER THE ASTRONAUT, which comes out on June 26, 2026 via Sunset Blvd. The third single released from the album that was originally recorded back in 1998 as the follow-up to their 1996 mainstream breakthrough album Electric Larryland but shelved by the label… until now, “Intelligent Guy” pits Leary’s searing guitar against King Coffey’s syncopated drum programming while Gibby Haynes delivers his trademark surreal yet oddly poetic lyrics (Now I’m not the world’s most incredible man / I never can quite seem to understand / If it weren’t for all the people I’d be all alone).
The follow-up to previous singles “Jet Fighter” and “Imbuya,” “Intelligent Guy” is accompanied by a fever dream of a video, filled with aliens, cellular-dividing fetuses, grotesque landscapes, muscular babies, and dinosaurs being ridden by clowns playing guitar.
