Fish Heads (song)

Fish Heads (song)

Fish Heads is a novelty song by the comedy rock duo Barnes and Barnes. The song, featured on their 1980 album Voobaha, is about fish heads and all the things they can or (more often) cannot do (such as playing baseball, wearing sweaters, dancing, playing drums, or being seen drinking cappuccino in Italian restaurants with Oriental women).

Actor Bill Paxton directed and appeared in the music video for the song, which aired on NBC television on "Saturday Night Live", on December 6, 1980.

In the "Treehouse of Horror VII" (1996) episode of the animated television series, "The Simpsons", Homer sings and hums the song as he carries a bucket of fish heads to the attic to feed Bart's mutant twin brother, Hugo.
