Lesbian Seagull is a song performed by Engelbert Humperdinck that was used in the soundtrack for the MTV/Paramount film Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. In the movie, the song was sung by Beavis and Butt-Head's teacher Mr. Van Driessen.
The song was written by Tom Wilson Weinberg and originally appeared on his 1979 album The Gay Name Game. Weinberg wrote "Lesbian Seagull" in response to a government study of long term monogamous lesbian behavior in seagulls. Mike Judge, creator of Beavis and Butt-head, heard the song as one of David Letterman's Ten Weirdest Songs and contacted Weinberg about using it in the film, and is sung in the film by Judge himself, as the voice of Mr. Van Driessen. Humperdinck's version is used in the end credits of the film and is on the soundtrack released on Universal/Geffen records and was used as the "B" side on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ "Love Rollercoaster" single.
