Warning: Display title "<i>piouhgd</i>" overrides earlier display title "<i>Piouhgd</i>" (help). piouhgd is an album by American alternative rock band the Butthole Surfers, released in 1991 on Rough Trade Records. The album was reissued on Capitol Records in 1992, due to the album being out-of-print following the US branch of Rough Trade closing doors the previous year. The album was reissued yet again in October 2007 by the Butthole Surfers' own label, Latino Buggerveil, and included the four songs from their 1989 EP Widowermaker as bonus tracks.
Title confusion
Rough Trade press releases stated that the album was pronounced "pee-owed" (a euphemization of "pissed off") and that it meant "I told you" in the Navajo language. Pinkus stated that this explanation was fabricated by the label unbeknownst to the band, and that the album title was created with the intention of it being unpronounceable.[5]
The album is spelled as "piouhgd" on original Rough Trade releases. On the 1992 Capitol Records reissue, the album title is printed on the spine as "pioughd." However, the original "piouhgd" spelling is still used on the back cover art of the Capitol release. The album has been referred to under both titles, as well as various misspellings.

"The Hurdy Gurdy Man" is a cover of the 1968 Donovan song Hurdy Gurdy Man. "Something" sets the lyrics of the band's early 80's original song to the music and arrangement of The Jesus and Mary Chain's "Never Understand." "P.S.Y." has lyrics sung on the album version that are hardly ever heard during live performances, making it a more of a jam song.
