Lesbian Seagull
August 28th, 2008
“Lesbian Seagull” is a song performed (surprisingly) by Engelbert Humperdinck for the animated movie Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (unsurprisingly). The song is originally sung in the movie by the boy’s teacher, though Humperdinck’s voice supplies the lyrics on the soundtrack and in the single.
The song was originally written in 1979 by Tom Wilson Weinberg, who wrote it in response to a study of long-term, lesbian behavior in some seagulls. Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge heard the song on a list by David Letterman and contacted Weinberg about using the song.
Humperdinck’s version also works into the movies end credits. Check out Judge’s version of the song here.
