Primusis a rock band band formed in California in the mid-1980s by two ex-members of thrash band Blind Illusion by Les Claypooland Larry LaLonde. Larry's band before Blind Illusion was death metal pioneers Possessed. Les (vocals and bass guitar) has been the only constant member. They have had two guitar players (although Larry has held onto the role for the past 16 years) and many different drummers (although Tim Alexander and Bryan "Brain" Mantia were the only ones who recorded with the band, and Jay Lane, the only other one who had creative impact) in the past. Their music has proven difficult to define; while usually considered by critics to be funk-metalor alternative metal, Primus has been called everything from " thrash funk" (as the band blends funk-style bass technique with thrash influenced guitar riffs and songs tempos), to " alternative rock" to "the Freak Brothers set to music." Les Claypool himself once described their music as " psychedelic polka." Thanks to the diversity of their sound they have been able to gain fans from nearly all rock subgenres.

Groundhog’s Day Lyrics

Primus

When I woke up this mornin I felt a pang.
I was hungerin for some apple pie.
Stumble in the bathroom, hung my hog a little bit.
Washed the sleep out of my eye.
Oh yeah, its gonna be a fine day.
Scratched myself a bit.
Poured me out a bowl-a corn chex.
Closest thing I could find to apple pie.
Lingerin taste of toothpaste
Made the milk go down a bit funny.
But you know, them chex they do satisfy.
Oh yeah, thisll be a fine day.
So, after my mornin rise-n-shine and eat-n-clean.
Had my mind set to hit them streets.
Drizzle from the night left cold puddles out.
Had my black stomp-boots on my feet.
Its my day.
Since I was in kneepants my pop had tried to make me realize. if i
Set my mind down to it I could be a big man in the public eye. so
With my big blue collar on, I set out to find the easy way. what an
Ice cold bath it was when I found you had to pay to play. to taste
The taste its a tease that never would subside. the taste is strong
But soured by my learned eyes. well, if a woodchuck could chuck wood,
Hed get down on his knees to pray. this little snappy boy might see
The light this ground hogs day.
