Fishbone and the Familyhood Nextperience Present: The Psychotic Friends Nuttwerx is the sixth album from alternative rock band Fishbone. It features a large number of special guests and is the only Fishbone album released on Disney's Hollywood Records.
Whereas the band's previous album, the angry Chim Chim's Badass Revenge, contained some of the band's heaviest moments, Psychotic Friends Nuttwerx is full of sunny reggae, ska and pop hooks that make it the most accessible Fishbone album to date. The album has cameos from H.R. of Bad Brains, Gwen Stefani, George Clinton, Rose Stone, Rick James, John Frusciante and Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Durga McBroom, best known for her work with Pink Floyd, and many others.
While AllMusic called it the band's best album in a decade.[1], it received little support from the band's record label, and Fishbone once again found themselves without a record deal.
"Where'd You Get Those Pants?" uses the same melody as "Weed Plant", another Fishbone song.
