The Residents The Third Reich 'n Roll 

you've got a high fever, are close to death, and someone puts on the oldies station as you drift in and out of consciousness

R.I.P. Hardy Fox. We hardly knew ye. No, literally. We hardly knew ye. I found The Residents when I was 12 and they turned me on to the fact there is more to music than the stuff on the radio and the charts. And for that I'll be eternally grateful.

Think about it: in another universe, The Residents *are* The Beatles.

Swastikas on Parade may consist of: Let's Twist Again / Land Of 1000 Dances / Hanky Panky / A Horse With No Name / Double Shot Of My Baby's Love / The Letter / Psychotic Reaction / Hey, Little Girl / Papa's Got A Brand New Bag / Talk Talk / I Want Candy / To Sir, With Love / Telstar / Wipe Out / Heroes And Villains) (Hitler Was a Vegetarian might include: Judy In Disguise (With Glasses) / 96 Tears / It's My Party / Light My Fire / Ballad Of The Green Berets / Yummy Yummy Yummy / Rock Around The Clock / Pushing Too Hard / Good Lovin' / Gloria / In A Gadda Da Vida / Sunshine Of Your Love / Hey Jude / Sympathy For The Devil)

One of the best albums ever made. This was the best accidental discovery of my middle school years. A staple ever since

how this album didnt end all rock n roll is a mystery to me, this is the best rock n roll album ever made and always will be.

I just got the original 1977 vinyl off Ebay for £10 with free postage. No other bidders. Fucking bargain! :)

the residents never fail to catch me by surprise with their sudden shifts to melancholy

(from WIkipee) The Third Reich 'n Roll came next, a pastiche on 1960s rock and roll with an overarching Nazi theme, represented visually on the album cover, which featured Dick Clark in an SS uniform holding a carrot, with a number of Hitlers dancing on clouds behind him. On each side of the record was a single composition, approximately 17½ minutes long, using recordings of classic rock and roll songs that were spliced, overdubbed, and edited with new vocals, instrumentation and tape noises.[3] The original songs were finally removed leaving entirely new and bizarre performances. The music video for this album was shot on the sets that were built for Vileness Fats.

My favorite part is from 18:18-20:12 where the guy from "96 Tears" consoles the girl from "It's My Party", that part always has me laughing! Pure genius!!

This is a 1976 RU-vid Poop for the blind.

This was the first Residents album I ever owned. Its still my favorite one.

I am sleep deprived and the residents became my favorite band of all time

There is music. Then there is The Residents. Way beyond music.

The most potent sneer at pop culture ever recorded, and still the most bizarre. They also loved these songs. Satire is the highest form of flattery?

The only way I can get near Beatles or Stones songs anymore.

No matter how many times I listen to this, it still shocks me, it also goes by so quickly.

I'm so happy all these albums are on youtube.

My buddies and I used to freak out the straights and jocks on our dorm floor at VPI in the late 70s when we blasted this and other Residents albums while playing cards (hearts) or Risk after homework. They would counteract by blasting Journey or Fleetwood Mac. Effin' funny!

Brilliantly deranged perfection... Jan and Dean purchase a UFO, plunge it off Dead Man's Curve crashing into a partially submerged Yellow Submarine before bursting into the most beautiful mushroom cloud of Nagasaki proportions...

When will we see the Residents doing a concert for the superbowl?

Mi fa piacere di vedere che non sono l'unico essere al mondo che ascolta The RESIDENTS! Ma se fossero in molti ad ascoltarli allora avrebbero sbagliato qualcosa, ma per me rimangono dei geni assoluti!!

The Residents invented Sampledelia.

This is true art of the highest order.

I first heard them on the John Peel show in 1978....and over 40 years they still do my head in...

Shit, this is everything I've been into since a kid. I grew up watching cult classics and obscured music"my buddies thought I was weird". This is 40 years of everything packed in all together. Thankyou u-tube or whoever upped this thankyou. I wish I could play this over the p.a. at a nursing home!!!! Just for kix

Gracias por subir esta obra

Never stopped loving this

this is the 3rd Residents album i am listening to in a row .. but i am not sure they are in order. i am in awe

This is my Beatles!

One of my favorites by them.

I need to rethink my life when I listen to this. Dear God, what have I done. So little time. So much Residents material!

My favorite Residents album! :)

Everytime I listen to this masterpiece: fascinating, insane, out of this world...

World War II could have been so much more fun

OK so a youtuber reviewing the work of the Residents tells me that this album didn't really WOW him but that it gets high praise from fans. So I thought I would check it out. Now experimental/avant-garde isn't really my bag but I have to say this album probably carries a more general appeal for the tourist. Iconoclastic and funny as fuck it is like a piss take on all those "dirty ditties" albums. the playful compliment to the Resident's more serious side on "Meet the Residents." I have to give this a big thumbs up! A pleasant surprise.

I love it all including the covers.

Lo gasté al vinilo de tanto escucharlo, mi disco favorito de The Residents.

AWESOME :D

Love this album.

Les univers musicaux sont si variés et multiples, merci aux Residents d’apporter leur belle pierre à cet édifice ! Enjoy

so many classic rock covers - i never suspected!! XD XD bravo the residents!

Right on!!!

A great concept.

i always come here to hear the hits

masterpiece

Thid makez my spleen quiver with joy and my ears feel tickly.

Oldies but goldies

The Letter - so great.

Genius is very seldom acknowledged or appreciated! Such is the case with The Residents. The Obscurity Theory is one that a lot of artists don't employ and they should!

Dizzy ^^ but bought this LP back then without knowing what was awakening me. ;) But from & especially good to listen to, to know that you can call yourself normal from the madness. ^^;)

Il y a tellement de profondeur et de richesse émotionnelle dans cet album que je l'ai réalisé quand j'ai d'abord passé du temps avec lui durant mon adolescence. Ça me semblait «bizarre» mais finalement guère plus que «Captain Beefheart» mais je viens de comprendre qu'il y avait plus que des bizarreries au sein de cette architecture sonore biscornue ... Comme une âme encore non déflorée !

All time classic

I listened to this today

One of the Best

My cat loves the Residents.

No one can be like them

Ich hab e mir sie auch damals einfach nach dem cover gekauft, dachte die höre ich mir einfach mal an. Leck mich am xxx, "WAHNSINN ' ist die beste DEFINITION davon😂❤

When aliens finally get the first radio broadcasts from Earth thousands of years from now, it will sound like this...

my baby does the hanky panky

This makes my Cat happy ¡ so Happy¡

Alliens ware passing close the Earth and recieved radio waves coming from it. The liked and tried to perform our music, but....

"Hitler Was A Vegetarian" ends on a somber and haunting note. Two staples of rock and pop music, reconstructed as a funeral dirge for the 1960s. Gary Phillips' guitar gently weeps as the times and the world that shaped the members of the Residents is lowered into its grave.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Mad Projecto !!

the sound of the past being tortured, raped, thrown off a building, burned and mutilated.

Brilliant. Another cd I have to buy on pay day😮

My maby donna hangi panki

Wack, but groovy and timeless, after all these years. It's provocative, sarcastic, exciting and fun! It could be a hit today with a bit more bottom. Something very familiar about this and frightening, like an old b/w horror film. I had not heard this LP in over thirty years and once it began playing, it all came flooding back, flawlessly, like it was waiting to be sprung. Dig.

(from The Residents Wikipedia "talk" page): "The Residents" are not a real band. Hardy Fox (in character as Chuck Bobuck) admitted as much in an interview[1]. They are a fictional construct, in the same way Goofy or Donald Duck are fictional; their records, the art & advertisement/copy/press releases surrounding the records, the performers hired to portray them (even if said performers are also the creators, they are still "performers," in this case hiring themselves), should be approached similarly, and by taking this knowledge into account I feel this Wiki article may be vastly improved, exiting the realm of band-mythology and attempting to approach "reality" (a rather difficult and contentious notion in and of itself, as The Residents' mythology was manufactured [I think] to point out). Walt Disney voice acting Mickey Mouse does not mean Walt Disney IS Mickey Mouse; hence Homer Flynn providing most of the voice(s) of "The Residents" on records (esp. after 1977), creating "their" lyrics, etc. does NOT mean he IS a Resident, because "The Residents" are an entirely fictional construct. Similarly, Hardy Fox coming out as "composer for The Residents" is no different than the fact that Mark Mothersbaugh was composer for "Rugrats" -- the key difference is that "The Residents" declined to credit individual contributors and purposefully sought to blur the line between fact & the media-manufactured fiction to which audiences had become accustomed via television, radio, merchandise (inc. LP's, singles, etc.), etc., whereas most productions credit all individuals clearly & decline to play such media games. Interestingly, the guy wearing the Donald Duck costume at Disney World has been instructed to never disclose the fact that he "is" Donald Duck. He's told to tell friends/relatives/etc that he is "friends" with this aforementioned fictional icon. Very similar to "The Residents," which are a production of The Cryptic Corporation. The goal, I think, of Homer Flynn, Hardy Fox, & the others involved in manufacturing "The Residents," was to intentionally blur the lines between fact and pop-culture mythology, as a sort of commentary on the relationship between art & business (called "Siamese twins" by Homer Flynn, in a lecture from the early '90's -- a reference to "God in Three Persons") and the audience which consumes its products. We now live in an era where music and artist images are manufactured to market towards specific preexisting, risk-free demographics, readymade and pretending to "realness," when in actuality fictional & prefabricated. The "Pre-fab Four" were a clever commentary on this trend, already emergent in the early '70's when "The Residents" were first dreamed up. Press material is drawn up to be repeated by a vast network of online "influencers," which together generate the illusion of popularity and relevance to the consumer base; similarly (and in a much more crude, DIY, and relatively primitive/low-budget/tongue-in-cheek fashion), the creators of "The Residents" frequently wrote mythologized articles and reviews under false names to create the illusion that "The Residents" were real and worthy of attention (see: liner notes of "Third Reich n' Roll" release from 2011, review of MtR by "Harvey Sox" found on "The Residents 1972-1982" Facebook page, etc). A very interesting project. [1] www.oregonmusicnews.com/charles-bobuck-hardy-fox-residents-interview -- "The Residents concept is completely malleable. It doesn't have to be associated with music. It could become an iPhone app design company. That is the remarkable aspect that sets the Residents apart from 'bands.'" Please note that both "Will Rothers" and "Charles Bobuck" are pseudonyms of Hardy Fox, who -- in this press release masquerading as an interview -- is "interviewing" himself. Since the very beginning of "The Residents" concept, this sort of manufactured, misleading media game-playing has been utilized to playfully (?) whet interest in this essentially fictional "band" amongst Cryptic's intended demographic.

I swear, I'll never be able to listen to any of the original songs deconstructed here without thinking of the Residents' masterful re-interpretations. In some cases, I prefer the Residents' remakes to the originals (especially It's My Party, a song I've long loathed, even back when I listened to oldies radio). Would've been fun to hear the Residents massacre some of the really bad pop songs of the 60s, like Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Puff the Magic Dragon, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, Mr Custer, Summer in the City, I Will Follow Him, and The Name Game. Despite the way the music industry and mainstream media slobber over music of the '60s, the truth is there tons of horrible pop songs that proliferated the decade. Third Reich and Roll illustrates that fact clearly. Even a lot of the good 60s songs have become tired from radio overplay/movie soundtrack overexposure.

October 1974 (tracks 1-14) October 1975 (tracks 15-29)

No one like the Residents.... wonderful

One of the best albums of all times

I need a drink....alot of it now.

I wanna see a Cabaret Voltaire/Residents supergroup tour! The REsiCabs

14:35 hermoso lo que se escucha de fondo, parece musica desde altoparlantes en medio de la calma en una guerra

Rock & Roll but in the Wolfenstein Universe

The title of the song "Loser Weed" is properly "Loser is Congruent To Weed".

19:14 - 20:16 My favorite part! :)

Bueno.

Could you imagine if Firesign Theater did an album with The Residents? It would either be called "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Residents" or "We're All Just Residents On This Bus".

Morgen am 20.2.2023 spielen The Residents im Mousonturm in Frankfurt/Main

"The Letter" is terrifying imho.

The perfect infection vector for a 15-yr old weirdo back then. The bicentennial year meant different things on different things, remember? This sounds great on vinyl with Dockstader on a second 1900's 78rpm Victrola while cats bat & cats bat cats at the assembly.

This is a masterpiece and a piece of shit at the same time

It's like a musical nightmare and I like it.

Residents finest!

RIP Hardy Fox... whoever he is...

i'm not here. I'm here. Here. I'm not where. I'm where. Where. Here & Where. My friends.

I'm not now. I'm now. Now. I'm not when. I'm when. When. Now & When. My friends.

Or as this album is also known as, "When You Give Your Kid A Casio."

Wszystko co można powiedzieć na temat rock'n rolla, ale obawiacie się zapytać.

Jkkkkkkk, un cachito de vinilo de esta "canción?", La mezclaban en CHOCOLA....Me acaba de entrar el humo del cigarrillo en los ojos...😪😥🤤🤫😬😁😁😁😁

which part of the album is your favorite moment mines gloria which is at 29:18 :D

What's the song that comes in around 10 and a half minute mark? It's my favorite Residents song but this album has no real tracklisting

Compared to Trout Mask Replica the Residents is a very commercial band.

9:40 Is that the solo on Hair Pie? Though it may be a Coltrane or Ayler recording.

33:01 The end of Evangelion??!?!?!?!?!? wtf

they would play this at my favourite strip-club....but where is it?
