Lyrics:
Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill
Is Dexter ill today, Mr Kirk, Dexter's in school
I'm afraid he's not, Miss Fishborne
Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand
The Baltimore County school board have decided to expel
Dexter from the entire public school system
Oh Mr Kirk, I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer
It's the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane
That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic,
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch! What does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Play the kazoo, let's have it tune
On the count of three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth
Avalanches is above, business continues below
Did I ever tell you the story about
Cowboys! Bit , bit bitches and the indians and, Fron, Frontier Psychiatrist
I, I felt strangely hypnotised
I was in another world, a world of 20.000 girls
And milk! Rectangles, to an optometrist, the man with the golden eyeball
And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin
I promise my girlfriend I'd, the violin, violin, violin
Frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch, what does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune
Now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth
Frontier Psychiatrist
Can you think of anything else that talks, other than a person?
Uh ohh, uh oh, a bird! Yeah!
Sometimes a parrot talks
Ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Yes, some birds are funny when they talk
Can you think of anything else
A record, record, record !

This video is like one of those weirdly upsetting dreams you'd never consider trying to describe to someone
Accurate
Good grief it is.
Nice analogy
Let's hear it for the head shrinks!
Then you remember only half the dream, which makes it even harder to explain.
This is like when you fall asleep in front of the tv and your dreams start going on along with whatever's on.
Why is this so accurate lmfao
That happens to you too? 😜🤪😝😁
@@leoniegray6404 Happens to a lot pf people.
lol
@@dannytheman1313 yeah usually happens when youre half asleep
For some reason, that ghost backing choir just makes sense.
I know right
Seems natural to them...
At least it’s honest about *being* a ghost choir.
they are the most sane part of the video
god i miss seeing such creative and unique music videos like this one. absolute masterpiece.
Ditto
Don't you go talking about this being nostalgic. I'm too young for that.
it reminds me of 90s cartoons somehow
Maybe some of the Ok Go videos would appeal to you 🤷♀
I suggest watching some of lowertowns videos
Every year I come back to this song and video to see if I have enough life experience to understand what I’m seeing. We’ll try again next year
lol
If you ever do understand it, please enlighten me.
How's that working for ya?
Everyone is nuts in their own way.
Lmao
It's extremely impressive how they managed to capture the visual aesthetic of the music perfectly.
Wait, wait. So this video was made to match the sampled dialogue and it was made recently, whereas the dialogue is taken form some 1960s radio play???
10/10 comment
Exactly how i imagined it
@@josevillesampled ancient tracks
@@josevillenot all the dialogue, the opening bit is from John Waters' 1981 film Polyester
I feel like sampling and turntablism is like abstract art; the barrier of entry is pretty low, so people pan the entire genre.
But man, every once in a while you get that person who _clearly_ has some deeper understanding of sound and structure and reaffirms why the genre even exists in the first place. There's something ineffably catchy and mesmerizing about this video.
give kid koala a go highly recommend skanky panky
Beautifully put.
sometimes a parrot talks
HURLLEHURLLEHURLLEHURHURHUR
HURLLEHURLLEHURLLEHURHURHUR
HURLLEHURLLEHURLLEHURHURHUR
HURLLEHURLLEHURLLEWUHURHURRRR
could even say you felt strangely hypnotized
Wonderful way of putting it. This relates to a lot of the Vonnegut story "Bluebeard".
This song is exactly Like Life.
Weird. Bad Quality. Totally Chaotic and Insane. And it feels like you dont know why or what for.
Can we appreciate how well that grandma plays the drums
I Think grandma is a grandpa.😂
Viola Smith!
She can get it
@@joelmondragon36 That should be the name of The Avalanches' next album.
did you just assume xirs gender?
I always love how the horns and choir come in after the principal calls Dexter criminally insane.
Makes it sound like he just dropped the greatest roast of all time
@@supathechest in the beginning of the video
I mean u not wrong lol
Shots fired too
@@hdfxdcsuperglide3016 Yes
I love when she’s like why Mr. Kirk Dexters in school
He’s like I’m afraid he’s not Mrs. Fishborn
And her face just drops.
Along with mr. Kirks mic
My budgie loves the bird part...starts tweeting and squawking extra loudly.
Just another level of genius this piece of art shows
Your budgie has good music taste.

*walks into retirement home*
“Hey guys, who wants to be in a music video?”
Ahahahhaajah. Spit my damned drink out.
3 words: fire water burn
They're performing in a nursing home full of deaf people.
Me! 😁.... When I'm old enough 😋
1st time I took lsd I listened to this 😋 I must be so freaking old because it totally made sense back then... How times have changed? 🤔 Now is so much.. Stranger 😁
Almost to 666
Never understood why this album didn't get the recognition it deserved. Perhaps not immediately obvious just how technically good it is?
Well it actually did. Kinda depends on the circle of people you talk about it with. I am in a Facebook group which revolver around music and this album is easily considered a modern classic.
I think it was because of a lot of legality issues with some samples they used
It got beaten to death and left to rot by tiktok
@@stickitydoodahI've never seen it on Tiktok???
Does anyone remember Elijah Wood introducing this video on some music video show in like 2001? He said something about it being his favorite band at the moment.
it must’ve been so, so fun to direct this, or even work on it. just a group of completely unrelated people, props, and topics and then instructing a bunch of senior citizens to participate in a giant art performance that will fry even their grandkids’ minds.
This song is everything and nothing at the same time
True.
Lol Everything and Nothing
James Bond reference
We all need therapy 😒
You’re a nut! You’re crazy in the coconut.

But was that a lady?
But what does that mean?

It’s man 😂😂😂
Fun fact, I was in this video. I’m the last guy to walk out and turn to the right (stage right, camera left). I was paid 200 bucks and was there for 2 days straight. Super long days for 3 seconds of screen time.
I consider you now a Legend!
How cool. I only saw this for the first time this year, and every time it pops up on YT, I click on it. From now on, I'll be watching for you.
Not was, you ARE in the video, forever. Hope you had fun in those 2 days!
You were a mariachi band guy? Or did you mean someone else?
Consider it a win! Sir, You've been seen in more videos than I have been in, 25 million times, and I'm a musician! 😂
This song is one you used to play a lot in High School. Then life hit you. Your grew up but never forgot this song. You come from time to time when you remember it. Play it when ever it comes up.
Dexter: misses school a few times
School: ... He's criminally insane
I'm Just as affected from you as Dexter's truancy
🤔 i get it now 😂
But that boy need's therapy
I mean did you even watched the TV show??
I was criminally insane.
If I were a therapist, this would be the song playing in the waiting room.
This comment makes me feel like I should become a therapist just so I can do that. If I can't think of anything else to do, I may actually do that.

You're a nut, you're crazy in the coconut
I'm a psychologist. I think if I play this song to my clients I can be very rich
and hearing your a nuts your crazy as a coconut over and over
I worked this year with the guy on the Psychiatrists couch. He's a binman now, he told me he was in this video, didn't believe until I went back and watched with him in the van haha. Get in John!, great dribbling.
The sea turtle man really ties the whole video together.
I just noticed that the Ghost-Sheet people aren't actually there, they're being projected onto another sheet.
That's deep.
...white as a sheet...
Sheeeeeeet!
After read your comment, I realize this boy needs therapy.
Well spotted
Wooooooooooo oooooooooh
I fell asleep watching TV once, and woke up to this. I was seriously questioning if I was still asleep.

This is just what having ADHD feels like. A constant stream of random soundbites and images from songs, commercials, TV shows and movies, and traumatic memories that got seared into your brain forever, bouncing back and forth in your head on repeat.
It's tight
Thats right
Absolute facts
that is WAY more than just adhd, my friend. I should know, i have it
😔that makes sense. I have ADHD and I've always liked this song and the video
for those that don't know, this video/music is made enirely form clips of other things. Literally nothing you hear is original, even though they made something entirely amazing and original with it!
Right!
It's called plunderphonics.

whenever im feeling sad, desperate, broken, angry, etc, this song just. re-integrates me into me. it's so satisfyingly coherent and makes so much sense to me. it's quite calming, actually. i guess it replicates what my mind is like so much that it feels familiar and comforting. god i love this song so much.
When the turtle grandpa said "What does that mean?", I felt that.
Turtle grandpa, most true yet random thing 😂😂
Haha 😂 yeah 😋 me too! 😁
Though? I do know "what does that mean"... I mean I know what it means but you don't wanna lol

I'll never forget first hearing this song as a teenager in a shop, buying chocolates and literally fell in love with it.
This song hits me so hard. It brings back how confused and afraid I used to feel of my own mind when I was a child. It’s amusing yet nightmarish.

That is so profound. You have now made me think really deep!

I had to come back to say this:
Your comment cracked me up so much I adapted it to my work situation (when the manager leaves the restaurant for xxx seconds)
It works so well because I work in a crazy old restaurant that’s been open since 1972, occupying a building that is much older. Our clientele and staff resemble the cast of the video and we are even reported to have ghosts. So anyway I forwarded this with your comment adapted to my situation and everyone thought it was hilarious.
That is like future special forces material ;)
That, my friend, is how you sample.

i remember being around 12, playing on my DS and my dad decides to play this song because apparently a coworker of his said i would like it. i got so into it and was just kinda... silently vibing. We never talked about this song again and i was half convinced i'd dreamed this

Macaroni King We already know this sooooooo What's your point
I must have listened to this track a thousand times before I saw this video. And somehow every single person in this clip looks exactly as I imagined based on voice alone.
I remember seeing the original “criminally insane” sample’s video and being shocked at the original people speaking
I always thought that the chorus part voice was Gene Wilder
I love how every sample his his own piece in this video
Exactly what I realised 👍😁 though 🙃 was tripping
I still say this is one of the best music videos ever made. I was 20 when it was released and it’s still as amazing all these years later.
i LOVE fish i make LOVE to fish i FUCK fish i KISS fish
It's very easy for you to explain what exactly is this 😅? Can you
Topped only by Avalanche's Frank Sinatra.
i am so lucky to have found this. i have always loved off beat and diff music. and none of this disappoints. any plunderphonic stuff .
I'm like 80% sure i fever dreamed this a few years ago
I had that sensation about other stuff. Prolly just an odd type of de ja vu.

My condolences good sir
Wishing you nothing but the best for the future 🙏
I'm so sorry
I can feel your pain. I have lost mine two years ago....... Miss her every day.
Don't know who you are. But we are all connected by music. My condolences friend.
Because she had awesome taste in music, man. RIP
This video is just... unironically awesome. Proof that you don’t need flash or trendiness if you have enough creativity and mild insanity.
Mild?
Mild Insanity? More like crazy in the coconut!
Yes! 😁
Or vulgarity.....
This is fairly flashy.
I don't know why this isn't viral.
Released way before such vids went viral in the way we think of them now. Still, those who got to experience this ( and I heard it first on a public rock radio station for reasons I don't know) it's stuck with us for so long.
This song pulled me out of a bad trip lol. I was having a bad trip and this song autoplayed and because of how random it is it made me focus on the watching video, that kind of grounded me and made me get into a better headspace while i waited for it to go away.
Four minutes and twenty seconds of absolute, meaningless (and yet, purposeful?) insanity. I love it.
Everybody needs that moment of "No reason"
Dad is really inaistent that this has some deep and heavy social commentary (we were having some deep talk, and I went back in and tried to lighten it up with this and he was surprised), but he doesn't seem to be willing to explain.
4:20 hehehe
Listen carefully, it means something alright. It's a 4.20 minute song written and performed by a 'handful of wankers' ---- probably for the 'tirst time' in their lives

Everyone's talking about how "insane" this video is but everyone neglects the fact that this clip suits the song perfectly! The director deserves a medal! It's amazing; all the actors, the decor and son on, it all fits...

I’m so grateful for discovering this song (to which I’d later listened to the full album) and Endtroducing by DJ Shadow in 2019, getting me into the wonderful genre that is plunderphonics. Never knew I need record-scratching, turntable- and sample-heavy electronic music in my life until then

There is so much imagery going on it is beyond my capacity to fully comprehend. But I feel like I understand it more every time I come back and rewatch it.

The turtle shell, the coconut, the esoteric symbolism of psychologically coming out of your shell of consciouness…

Let's be honest the beautiful haunting horns and choir from enoch light singers-, way of life. Make this special
Frontier Psychiatrist was first released August 21st 2000. Happy 20th birthday to this amazing song!
year 2000? i am impressed there are some characters that i recognize from my childhood. the coconut ventriloquist is one. i cant remember where but i swear deep in the faded memories of childhood i remember him, his voice. perhaps a childhood telwvision show from when i was like 5 years old. after the time i had during my 20s im surprised i remember anything much less some vague tv charactor. I even remember droopy, and mighty mouse.
Been listening to this song since ‘05
It’s basically ADHD therapy.
As a person with ADHD I can confirm.😩
As a person who has grown up knowing people with ADHD I can attest to its therapeutic potential.
That explains why I had to immediately share it with my ADHD friends
I agree as well ADHD therapy
That’s why I like it so much???
Every few months I come back to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating and this is a real video
I have heard this song many times over the years. I have to say this is the first time I seen the video to go with it. I'm speechless and even more confused and weirdly enjoy it.
Her: So what kind of music do you like?
Me: Umm... it's hard to explain.
trip hop, yo
EDM

@An Orangutan YOU BOY NEED A THERAPY!
☝ that boy needs therapy
I feel like this was ahead of its time
It still is.
time was right but people are behind :P I know it from day one
Maybe we're behind the times.
Weird because I listened to this when it was released and it really didn't feel ahead of its time just felt like it felt and feels.
I actually bought the album when this song was released. It felt like someone who try to fight mainstream entertainment media while wearing boxing gloves and clown shoes. It was mind blowingly amazing for me

this is literally a musical ytp, yet it's a certified hood classic
Sampling masterclass.
It's called "plunderphonics"
It's literally completely samples
I want.....no I NEED a framed picture of the old man turtle on my wall....I can't tell you why but it's perfect
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
@@Lobsterwithinternet it means he was white as a sheet..........and he also made false teeth
I uploaded the chap to redbubble under "Frontier turtle fellow" if you search for it on there you can get it as a print, a sticker or many other things :)
@@RoobehTunes you don't know what a hero you are
I think that's Mitch McConnell.
Holy shit how did I go my whole life without knowing this existed

Every aspect of this music video is flawless. Even the hypnotist who only appears for about half a second at around (2:19). Not appearing on stage with everyone else, but seeming tucked in almost subliminally.
He does appear on stage. Top-Left. Look closer.
@@thibaultm6111 Good catch. I guess he was tucked in even *more* subliminally than I thought.
you *think* he only appeared for about half a second...
and the dwarf!????
2:16 precisely
It's not only the song that is insanely good, but I'm just impressed by how they managed to get ALL of its aspects and actors onto one and the same stage and make it a coherent thing.
Well, within the scope of what could be called coherent in this song =)
This is a piece of actual art, audio and video alike. Something we rarely get to experience these days.
Gesamtkunstwerk 👌
@@Einenteaux Gutes Wort dafür!

i have listened to this track a million times in many, many years and only just discover this masterpiece video in 2019. I officially have been living under a rock.
same. this was my myspace profile song in like 2002. never knew it had a video
Yeah man i found out about this song today from a hungry box video
skull flamejsrf lol same
Agreed, same.
I've had this on k7 tape, used to listening to this like mad... completely forgot about it... two decade had past... then puf!! I'm here ♡
This song feels like a collection of memes that no one has caught onto yet
Yes. And I'll add that it's older than you think; the video's from 2001 and uses imagery, callbacks, samples and references to what was already retro television, which had been in the public consciousness, but is not currently.
I think it taps into memories and symbols that people have, but everything js just a little bit off but also familiar at the same time. Instead of memes that aren't made yet it's the old ones you made in your head long before you ever saw this video.
"WHat does that mean?"

Thanks to this song I learned the word Rannygazoo and have now added it to my personal dictionary, I knew about this song back in high school oh so many years ago, but never did a full enough deep dive at the time to learn of Rannygazoo, which means nonsense, tomfoolery, and deception.
I love the way you talk it’s so ❤
had a mental breakdown while peaking on edibles and this is really what it felt like
