Mike Watt - Piss-Bottle Man

[@rellgreen6558]

The lineup of musicians on Ball Hog Or Tugboat is legendary.

[@chrisobrien7526]

There was a song with Eddie Vedder on vocals. I misremembered, thought that he sang this one.

[@HubbaBubba768]

I love how Mike is so pleased with himself for pissing in a bottle. As he should be.

[@DynamiteThunder]

Right? He had so much fun just dumping all that piss out the window

[@shenanitims4006]

Whenever I drove cross country and used bottles instead of stopping, I smiled just like that.

[@patdisaster8543]

Primal......in a biblical sense.....Terra Cotta.

[@exploringmind7648]

@@DynamiteThunder yeah, u don't dump it out the window.

[@dutchuncle408]

Perfect bottle is 32oz. Gatorade (any flavor will do). Appropriate size aperture and volume requirements.

[@GTA2SWcity]

Who else remembers this when it was originally featured on Beavis & Butt-Head?

[@SteveFrench_420]

Oh shit! Ur right! I do remember seeing it on MTV but forgot it was B&B

[@ColtonRDean]

Butt Head: Later in this video he gets abducted by aliens. Beavis: I want to be abducted by Mexicans. Butt Head: Shut up, Beavis. You’re supposed to call them hispandex.

[@davegunning1443]

Out of all the songs written about Piss-Bottle Men, this one is the best.

[@colinwilliams553]

WHOever that is playing the drums like that is certainly channeling the spirit of the great KEITH MOON and doing it splendidly.

[@hixter]

That’s Bob Lee of Clawhammer. He played/toured with Watt as a member of The Black Gang. I gave him a copy of the Keith Moon biography back in the late 90s.

[@samhelsel443]

For sure. Also, bass line channels his inner Gene Simmons

[@megamillionfreak]

If it wasn’t for Mike Judge and Beavis and Butthead I’d have never heard of this.

[@beelzabubba]

This whole album - Ballhog or Tugboat- has a different great line-up of musicians on every song. One of my most worn out CDs.

[@howard2031]

Everytime I piss in my Gatorade bottle...this song comes into my head.

[@roxtar10870]

Me too... It's a road trip song for sure.

[@Brainwash_victim]

An alternate reality where Watt is not wearing flannel or driving a van...

[@nomadben]

I could have never imagined something so unusual in all my life.

[@timothyboles3009]

My Dad taught me to piss in a bottle, good times. Lost him to COVID Jan 26 2021. Thanks Mike Watt for bringing a smile to my face and some joy to my broken heart. Saw you guys back in the 80s in Guelph Ontario at the Trasheteria. You were playing pinball and we talked a while. Thanks for being a solid dude.

[@riokinsey2134]

I'm sorry for your loss. Glad you can find some humor. Funny song

I wondered about the armbands...., Did the germs wear them and what did they symbolize? The song is so good!

[@shenanitims4006]

Sadly, I can’t figure out why they were repping the Germs. Seems rather random. I know Pat played on the album, but I don’t believe on that song.

[@matthewbuchholtz4170]

@@shenanitims4006 LA punk thing, eh? Watt and D. Boon were in that scene when they started Minutemen. I wouldn't say random exactly, those folks always rep each other. And the Germs logo is just cool

[@shenanitims4006]

@@matthewbuchholtz4170 True that. Watt is still repping his small town whose name is escaping me right now. But the Germs reference still strikes me as odd since they could easily be repping Flag. (Sadly the Minutemen didn’t have much in the way of logos.)

[@binkyfire3693]

Keith Morris reps the germs all the time too

[@upfrontmonkey9203]

Never knew about this song but it really hit home for me. A guy singing about traditions handed down from father to son. His dad disappears out of the picture (alien metaphor here) and the only real thing handed down to him/he learned from the guy was to piss in a bottle. Super catchy tune too. Probably the greatest song I never knew about.

[@DynamiteThunder]

Damn I never realized how deep this was

[@tiffanymichaels2429]

Where did you hear that. Mike Watt's father was in the navy. Never heard about him up and disappearing. Searched to confirm that's what the song was about but found nothing. Just curious as to where you found info.

[@101Volts]

@@tiffanymichaels2429 OP's comment isn't necessarily reflecting on Mike Watt and his Father, but it could just be supposing that the song is a fictional tale.

[@TR-yi8up]

Whatever you want to say about music, it’s amazing to me how it works sometimes. I bought this album because of Evan Dando being on it...The Lemonheads were the second live show I ever saw, and this was near the tail end of their final, only peak...But I had no idea who the smiling bass player was, despite having heard the name Mike Watt before. This weekend I watched ‘We Jam Econo’, said a silent prayer for D Boon and extra wide mouth Mountain Dew bottles.

[@edhelvey]

I bought this album and saw Mike Watt when he toured for it (with Foo Fighters opening) because Mike Watt's band, fIREHOSE, was one of my favorite college radio bands - as was his prior band the Minutemen.

[@101candlesorkestra]

One of THE great songs and one of THE great guitar solos.

[@angryeel2864]

I'm gonna state the obvious and the not so obvious since there's a wide array of people commenting and viewing this. That's Mike Watt from The Minutemen and fIREHOSE on bass (which I hope he got back...heard some scumbags stole it) Joe Baiza from Saccharine Trust on lead guitar, Zander Schloss who played bass with the Circle Jerks and guitar in other outfits on rhythm guitar, Evan Dando from The Lemonheads on vocals and a Jack Black lookalike on drums. If you check out the album this is off of called Ball-Hog or Tugboat? you'll see there's an amazing cast of players and contributors throughout the album.

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

I wondered who was who, thanks for clarifying, can't get enough of this song

[@alanvillarreal979]

The "Jack Black" lookalike is Bob Lee. Looks absolutely NOTHING like JB, by the way...

This song isn't about masturbation. It's about being a truck driver and having a bottle in which to urinate while still driving.

[@furnitureconsortium]

He’s not talking about the lyrics, he’s referencing the music and energy of the song which is pretty similar to The Who and their song “pictures of lily” I can definitely hear Mike Watt tipping his hat to The Who here as he’s done from time to time throughout his career.
