'I Was an Oscar Meyer Wiener in My Third Grade Play' - How GWAR's Blothar Learned to Scream (WATCH)

How GWAR’s Blothar Learned to Scream
@Devilman, Danny Wimmer Presents

Our latest guest on How I Learned to Scream is intergalactic scumdog and GWAR front-thing Blothar.

His story is truly unlike any other we've had so far. Part singer, part screamer, this quadro-phallic creature will shock you with his earliest influences. Even in space, no living being is able to escape from the tender-hearted sounds and genteel nature of soul and gospel music. It's what Blothar's parents listened to — Otis Redding, Ray Price, Johnny Horton, Ray Charles and more.

He even said his grandma wanted Inglebert Humperdinck to "put his shoes under her bed." That means sex if you didn't figure that out.

But that wasn't really where Blothar picked up his techniques from. No, no... all that early training was a byproduct of some hefty dumps, sitting on the toilet and agonizing kidney stones.

Blothar's favorite songs and artists to sing while cutting a rope? "Zippity Doo Dah," Pat Benatar and Cher.

"I was an Oscar Meyer wiener in my third grade play. They knew that I had potential from the way I sang [the theme song]," he recalls.

What else happens next as we uncover more of Blothar's journey to being the best vocalist to front GWAR over the last decade? We'd ruin it if we told you! It's too hilarious, just watch the rest below and start laughing!
