Betty Blowtorch - I'm Ugly and I Don't Know Why

video from "Betty Blowtorch and her Amazing True Life Adventures" a film by Antonia Scarpa

[@AppleCore2d]

One of my favorite bands in high school... My dad works for the newspaper and he got their cd in a press package... it got sent my way... I got really into them... I got my friends into them... then she died... thats rock...

[@michaelshields9087]

Hey...I know this comment is MAD OLD...(12 years haha!)...but I saw that yer dad receives press packages for the newspaper he works at... this comment obviously stood out to me immediately... curiosity’s got me wondering what paper he works for and how and why was a Butt Trumpet (sorry...I guess likely Betty Blowtorch by this point) CD thrown his and the newspaper’s way? The only reason I ask is because the band is/was pretty dark and underground (at least they were circa 1993ish or 94ish they opened for FEAR @ The Limelight NYC). They broke up onstage that very night in front of us... Just thinking about how obscure they pretty much are/were...does your father work for a smaller or less mainstream paper? Not tryna be too intrusive just insanely curious about this event...I know it’s gone sound clićhe AF but I’ve got punx rock coursing through my veins so I basically live off of discussing this type of shit...haha! Get back to me if ya find a moment. Cheers 🍻

[@michaelshields9087]

Oh then through my dumb curiosity and excitement I just now saw “and then she died...” so now I know it’s Bianca Butthole and you’re referring to Betty Blowtorch... both great bands...

[@pepperfrostt-shirts626]

It astounds me as I read the comments on the BB vids, that there is hardly mention of what a kick a** lead guitar player Blare is. She is f'n amazing.

[@ims.MichaelJames]

She's tight for sure.

[@looshkin66]

[@JetFixxxer]

I first heard this song back in 95.. Heard it on WTOS out of Maine. When they aired it they stated it was the Butt Trumpets. In fact I downloaded the MP3 and it was the Butt Trumpets.

[@michaelshields9087]

[@josie3221]

[@Katimashi]

[@davidpatterson7934]

[@moominpeko]

[@chryssoraidy9838]

[@LHVMleodragonlamb]

[@dimpfelmoser]

[@chrismitchell5260]

Woo hoo butt trumpet

[@BRIANCOTNOIR]

@jilltaylor2006 No, I totally agree with you; that is quite an accurate statement \m/

[@oldnatty61]

There are markers. Anchors. Place holders. Barometers. OG's. Some are recognized as such. Others not so much. Does't change who they are/were.

[@samiam47]

I had a girlfriend named Heidi Weller. Butt Trumphet were so great.

[@marybogue2930]

That is funny

[@DB307MJ]

HAHA!

[@jordinyc]

@slimpickins70 I actually like this version better than the Butttrumpet one

[@mrparkinson]

Cool song, but one question: who writes on pumpkin seeds?

[@crscott9908]

Heidi Weller does.

[@kittiesandcolas7957]

Drunk house anthem CA 2001

[@pensoxgyrl]

Mike Durian you need her in your life, I'm prolly a year late and a dime short but she's you're kind of cool

[@Dead_Gamer666]

that guy with the white hat turned backwards looks like artie lang.

[@koffinkat666]

The guy at 1:27 is truly singing from experience.

[@downallyourstreets]

That chunk O’ beard looks like a muff, so when he kisses his significant other it’s called bump in’ uglies!

[@chriscollins570]

I'd share a needle with Sharon!

[@bob1757]

Did Bianca originally sing this song?

[@rickpop5446]

I think she talking about you..

[@haymaker710]

I knew it.

[@yssettheworldonfire]

eh i like the butt trumpets version better....i listened to that cassette tape over and over :)

[@PJtheFey]

This version is missing a few notes.

[@travisking7013]

Rip Bianca Wilson she aslo play in Motochrist and Humble Gods

[@ColorsBright]

@tearfulsarrow haha artie

[@ReverendBenzo]

Sharon Needles is so hot.

[@jumpfart666]

Butt Trumpet did it first?

[@andrewbintang4591]

sharon needles was the real talent of this band, she sang, played guitar and also played bass guitar.

[@wikidweasle]

yahh the original band had a male singer, this was the first song that was ever put on radio by them

[@GaryVonGary]

Do you know where Heidi Weller & Danny Irving are now? Married perhaps?

[@BlackTeddies]

Original was much better but this is okay too.

[@loraineleonard7912]

FYI- Charles Manson died early today on 11-21-2017! The dude had extreme issues too. More extreme than Betty Blowtorch.

[@DoctorIvanSFN]

The original version by Butt Trumpet is better than this one... great track though.
