Today’s video of the day is Butthole Surfers – “Underdog” released in 1995.
The song “Underdog” by Butthole Surfers was featured on the Saturday Morning: Cartoons’ Greatest Hits album, released in 1995. This compilation album brought together popular alternative and rock artists to cover classic cartoon theme songs. The Butthole Surfers took on “Underdog,” adding their signature chaotic style to the beloved theme from the 1960s animated series.
Saturday Morning: Cartoons’ Greatest Hits showcased the band’s ability to adapt their experimental sound to a more mainstream project. While the album was a fun diversion, “Underdog” stayed true to the band’s roots, blending humor and noise rock. This release came just before their commercial breakthrough with Electriclarryland in 1996, helping them reach new audiences.
Their version of “Underdog” stands out from the rest of their catalog, fitting in as a playful yet intense track. Compared to earlier albums like Locust Abortion Technician or Hairway to Steven, this song is more accessible while still capturing the band’s chaotic essence.
