The Fabulous Miss Peggy Honeydew was a nightclub singer portrayed by Margaret Smyk in the early live performances and recordings of the group who would later become The Residents, as well as in the group's unfinished musical feature film Vileness Fats, shot between 1972 and 1976.

Miss Honeydew is best known for her performances of "D For Doorknob" on the B.S. demo album, and "Lord It's Lonely" in Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats?. She also provided guest vocals on The Residents' third studio album The Third Reich 'n Roll.

History[]

Margaret Swaton (nee Smyk) was a long-standing friend of the group who would eventually become The Residents; she introduced them to British guitarist Philip "Snakefinger" Lithman, who remained a friend and collaborator of the group for the rest of his life.

Peggy Honeydew is known to have performed the song "D For Doorknob" live with Residents, Uninc. at The Boarding House in October 1971; a rendition of the song presumably recorded at the group's San Mateo apartment is featured as part of the suite "Hallowed Be Thy Wean 1971" on the demo album B.S..

As Honeydew, Swaton has sold signed photos (from the Boarding House show and Vileness Fats) occasionally in recent years through her nephew's eBay store, as well as 5x7 photo prints of the poster for the 2015 documentary Theory of Obscurity: A Film About The Residents; the signed prints are commonly sold in batches of limited numbers.

In Vileness Fats[]

In The Residents' unfinished "video musical" film Vileness Fats, Honeydew features as a minor character; a beguiling yet duplicitous singer with an engagement at the night club Willy's Hot Spot, located in the village of Vileness Flats.

Honeydew's boyfriend Lonesome Jack (the film's antagonist and alternate personality of the protagonist Saint Steven) arranges for Honeydew to seduce the conjoined twin tag-team wrestlers Arf and Omega Berry when they visit the night club, to distract them so that Jack's master plan (to invade the village and steal its supply of meat) can go ahead.

Honeydew successfully seduces the twins, who argue increasingly angrily over her; she suggests that the two settle the disagreement with a knife fight, which results in the death of Arf.
