Song / Classic This Is the Most Beautiful Residents Song*

Posted by on Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 2:55 PM

Give me a late pass: I just discovered the understated beauty of the Residents’ “You Yesyesyes Again” (from their 1977 album Fingerprince) and am totally taken aback by its lovely melody, which is still kind of odd and eerie, but downright accessible for these murky-fidelity-loving, eyeball-headed subversives.


*That I've heard; I'm by no means a Residents completist. Feel free to correct me if you think I have erred—because this matter is not at all subjective and can be proven scientifically.

I agree with #1. That melody really stays with you, and it's as close as that band comes to being revealingly human.

And though the competition is fierce, I vote for all of "God in 3 Persons" as the most f*cked up Residents song.
