Moxy Fruvous - King Of Spain

[Sasafras06]

BOW BOW

[jarlaw98]

i cant listen to this and not smile

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

It's even better live :D

[Toastification]

It rained today... Fruvous make it all ok!

[bieber2468]

I SEEN THIS GUY TODAY XD he was at are schoooool

[Animalco]

@bieber2468 I hope you're taking an English class.

[JoeBob27891]

The guy on the shaker sure knows how to break it down...

Plus, I love this song!

[kevinchajka2010]

i like the guy doing the bass (bow bow)

[somegalfromcan]

@kevinchajka2010 That's Murray Foster who is now with Great Big Sea.

[TheHotHotMess]

@somegalfromcan wait! really? i love gbs! :)

[somegalfromcan]

@TheHotHotMess It's true - he has much shorter hair now, but otherwise it's the same old Murray! GBS and Moxy are two of my favourite bands. I was sad when Moxy broke up, and sad when the original bass player from GBS, Darrell Power, left - but am very happy that they replaced him with Murray.

[sykregen784]

Apparently the audiences are dead...

[xXNorDakXx]

Does anyone have sheetmusic for this?

[datalal624]

"Don't move! Brand new Moxy when we come back..." If only someone could say those words now. :(

[Pcoar]

Stupid fucking Canadians

[zxcvbnm022]

@Pcoar stipid fucking haters

[Nap712]

2:00 - "Once he was the Fling of Spain" anyone else hear it? hahaha great improv

[Nap712]

Is it illegal to clap along or something? The hell is wrong with this crowd..

[fenixflyer91]

@Nap712 theyre canadian, need to really ask that?

[thesecretninjapirate]

[vinnylikespie12431]

[caldwell1966]

Classic canadian music!!

[gwxk]

And remember folks... Sting is the King of Pain.

[lifeisntthatsimple]

[sphilk]

Legen... wait for it... dary

[duranie74]

So awesome!!!

When would this be.. around 1993 or so?

[Ashatanredfox]

@duranie74  1998

[FruvousVideos]

@Ashatanredfox This wasn't 1998. It was 1993.

[maximopetar]

So... then again... why Spain? xDD

[Lectriblaze]

@maximopetar coz it rocks XD

[Lectriblaze]

Esto es... un insulto...

[CHRISGAMESSPAIN]

@Lectriblaze jajajaja hombre que va. No te lo tomes en serio. Ademas es una buena cancion.

[Lectriblaze]

@CHRISGAMESSPAIN no si ya en el fondo es cachonda y pegadiza :P

[kashiah1]

[purosteve]

Just fantastic. Thanks for sharing this.

[encanta411]

This song makes my day every time I hear it!

ok the fact that they are only four guys....wow! when I first heard them I thought it was like a good six people or more...LOVE this song! It's so fun!

[crypt375]

I hate how the crowd is so dead. I love Moxy!

[brandon9101]

WTF IS THIS HAHA I LMAO HAHAHAHAHHA !

[8thGuardian]

i have had this song stuck in my head for the past week, it's swesome

[Raukodraug]

I really miss being able to see these guys live... though I don't think any of them (except possibly Jian) had this much hair when I saw them in concert...

[sparkySPAZpuff]

I love this song! I never heard of it before I heard the Buffalo Chips sing it

[saynojess]

the thing that fascinates me i s how the hell they came up with this awesome

[jrothke]

This song never fails to cheer me up.

[DaKilla27]

"The Rich Guy wants to know king."

"That's a very curious tale, Rich Guy."

Best Conversation Ever.

[RoseMaundrell]

I agree! xD

[inatreefort]

its amazing that they keep that great energy with a dead crowd. =) love it

[Uhm36]

brill brill brill, realy good song, 5*

[jtnorg]

This is the most Canadian thing ive ever come across!

[rockwoodmetal]

check out "the arrogant worms"... canadiana to the end.. awesome

[AnzaBrush]

I've watched this video like a balilion times, and I STILL don't understand the "The rich guy wants to know, King" comment that gets the audience laughing.

I give up XD is anyone willing to explain it?

[b1ujnm57]

don't know probably something off camera

[mcclainx]

Fru, we miss YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! Come baaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tilanomos]

queen lisa tio tu no sabes ni donde queda canada hay que ver que pateticos son... hablan sin saber

[kennlegirl]

lol i had to do this song for a drama assigment lol it was fun but there is now pics of it in the 2009 yearbook how embarissing

[SpecialAgentRavage]

what year was this???

[sobrien76]

Based on Murray's and Dave's hair (see Ash Hash, also posted here from same show), my guess would be 1994.

[SpecialAgentRavage]

thx

man these guys had a pretty rough crowd

if they told me i was going to get a choclate eclaire, i would clap

[deepan66]

I thought billy bob was out of line, but now I am not sure. This is puffed up bullshit!

[taylorseymour]

He depicted all Canadian audiences and artists as lacking.

He was out of line. Moxy Fruvous is not what we measure ourselves against dude.

[YouAreHereNow]

This is a great song.

[zhabak1]

Lisa? Our queen of Spain is called Sofia...

[QueenMickey710]

That doesn't rhyme silly. :D

[nicolenjohn]

Murray is doing well in Great Big Sea now.. sans le hair ;)

[marymactavish]

Dang, Murray had some hair.

[tristianity4u]

Makes Barenaked Ladies look like the Sex Pistols.

[csuabo]

uggh...Thornton's music might sound good compared to this. Very cutesy.

[melynne99]

oh... please do some more research... fruvous was very funny and intelligent... this is one of the more fun cute songs.... If you can find the Live Noise Album, that is a decent sample of fruvous - although NOTHING compares to a live show

[csuabo]

Actually, I am of the same age as these guys and remembering having the misfortune of hearing a few of their songs back in the day. I stand by the "very cutesy" comment. I am not saying they do not have musical talent, but considering they make their lyrics a focal point, they are often very cringe worthy.

[boomzuun]

Billy Bob Thornton's fave tune?

[Taiyosuna]

Moxy Fruvöus is one of the few bands I actually prefer live. This song (King of Spain) and Boo Time are my favorites but Johnny Saucep'n and My Baby Loves A Bunch of Authors are good too. I heard they're sort of based off of TMBG, lol. Who knew?

[RadioHyperactive]

they have AMAZING voices, but even for the 70s/80s they always dressed weird, and were not very funny. (for the most part)

[RandiBeeman]

I think they're very funny, when they mean to be. Not all of their stuff is intended to be funny. But "King of Spain" is fun, and some of the improvisational bits they did on "Live Noise" are a scream (like "lowest highest point" or the stuff about naked puppets).

[bolthy]

That video is probably from the 90s. They formed in 89 and "King of Spain" didn't come out till their "Bargainville" album in 92.

[insecurewalrus]

This is one of my Favorite bands of all time, I wish they were still together, I'd travel just about anywhere in the world to see them perform.

[ZennLa13]

Lol I love Jian

[melynne99]

have you caught his Q tv videos, do a search here.... he is doing so well!

I ran into him in nyc on Saturday....

[ZennLa13]

No, I've been searching for them but for some reason haven tbeen able to watch any. I'll search again :)

[melynne99]

I'm sure you've seen the Billy Bob one by now... :)

[mclovin1617]

They can do so much with just vocals the song sounds very full, not alot of empty spaces, yet only one real instrument.

[KlezHunter1]

friggin awesome

[FernandaGollo]

First time I saw a video of those guys. Very cool.

[moxyfan13]

Thank you so much for putting this video up. I never got to see them in concert, I found out about them too late, and it's great to finally get a taste of what I missed. Man they were awesome.

[Bp323]

Man it sucks that they broke up..sorry 'went on hiatus'..sigh.

[fuffy147]

i've meet mike ford from this!

[gotothemoon]

I really really wanted to see a concert. Fruvous is awesome. Thanks for posting this.

[PeterVred]

I'm very sorry for you...I got to see them two times FOR FREE in record stores here in the US. And then later in concert at a big venue. The record stores were excellent, intimate shows.  I miss them so much.

[melmormama]

I miss Fruvous shows soooo much! Thanks for posting this.

[carmimesh]

MOXY FRUVOUS RULE

[darthron888]

This makes the song so much more awesome :D

[cellochick1190]

I love how it's a Caribbean style but about the king of Spain haha

Great song though!! I love Moxy Fruvous

[TreCoolismyidol]

love Mike Ford  :P

[mfnickster]

What is with that audience?? Except for the laugh at the 2:30 mark, they look like they're made of wood!

[TraningSword]

poo

[TheOnlyLMV3]

"and poutine on my face!" xD

[kmj415]

This was great, thanks so much for sharing!

[musicality43]

Thanks for uploading this! I've been looking for a video of their "Just For Laughs" performance for quite some time now, and this was...this was it. It's great; thanks for the upload!

[bobhutko]

Fantastic video! Thanks so much!

[sjwpg]

If they'd known in July of '94 that this would live on via something called "YouTube", they likely would have made much different wardrobe choices. =)
