Creep in the Cellar (2:04)
From Rembrandt Pussyhorse and 3 other releases
The piano on “Creep in the Cellar”, written by Haynes, and the organ on “Perry” were played by the recording studio’s owner, who offered free studio time in exchange for being included on the album.
Also of note is the violin heard in the background. This was the result of the Surfers purchasing a used 16-track tape, on which a country & western band had previously recorded. Upon playing their mix of “Creep in the Cellar,” the band discovered they had inadvertently kept one of the country band’s channels, which contained a backwards violin track. Liking the way it worked with the song, they opted to keep it. They were also too tired to care about editing it out.

Butthole Surfers – Creep in the Cellar
Oh there's a creep in the cellar that I'm gonna let in
There's a hole in his brain where his mind should've been
When he starts talkin' backwards your head starts to spin
And he really freaks me out when he peels off his skin, yow!
Butthole Surfers
