Who wants free ice cream

Watch the Melvins (with Jeff Pinkus) play a Butthole Surfers tune while giving kids free Ice Cream.
These are a few of my favorite things: Jeni's ice cream, Humboldt Park, the Melvins and the Butthole Surfers. How did I miss this?? It's blocks from my home!

Oh, and they picked the Butthole's signature tune from their best era - Graveyard! Aces!
I call it their signature tune because it was the one song they seemed to play every show for years... there are two album versions from Locust Abortion Technician, a slow grindy one with the voice pitch-shifted down and a faster, more depraved version with distortion on the voice.

You lie in the graveyardI actually never worked out the lyrics exactly, even though I must have heard this song hundreds of times...
Well, you're rotting away
When I talk to you daily
You've got nothing to say
You lie in the graveyard
Well, you are down making plans
Well, you control all my thoughts
Well, you make dust fall

Hey! The drummer on the left is wearing a John Brannon t-shirt that a friend of mine designed.

There may be bands that I love more than the Melvins, but at any given moment there is no band that I love more INTENSELY than the Melvins.

I kinda wondered, because the text blurb doesn't make it clear, whether or not the free ice cream was always part of the plan, or if it just happened due to Royal Decree?
