[DAZEOFTHESTONED]

I'm a poet. And don't tell me what I've been doing. My doctor says I need to be less anti-social.

[makattak88]

Gordo is the fuckin man!

[kunglek]

Proud to be canadian

[Dunrex22]

DURHAM COLLEGE!!!

BOO YAH

[CanadaKill]

nothing to be proud of there. its a community college, u dont even have to have good marks.

[Dunrex22]

Durham College is a great trades school at the Whitby campus, and actually you have to have good marks. Fuck you a Dumb ass.

[yootoob975]

[adrianbeloo]

DUH ITS A WEED LEAF

[1KapG]

[stgm]

Everything the Hip does is classic Tragically Hip, and is awesome. This song is no exception.

[mpgirl69]

the Hip rock so hard!!!!....love em and always will!!!

[kylo4]

Love the garage-band styling

[xBaitMyScenex]

Queen's University

[center231]

Humber. baaaaaaaaaaaaam

[OwMyBrains]

Boring song.

[genuinecowhide]

boring person

[TheBryant13]

Your a piece of shit.

[slugg63]

cool "hip"shit.

[billtillo]

that is totally a ganja plant in the fish tank at the beggining of the video

[alexshirreff]

high times is just a state of MY tranquility. Lol

[suburbanhombre]

Been listening to the hip for about 14 years. Actually lived south of the Mason Dixon when a fellow from Buffalo introduced me to them, been into their groove ever since.

I just want to know who keeps turning on the lights? And why is the switch all the way in the other room?

[socrates1818]

Total Charlie Watts conscious rip-off, Gimme Shelter, That's cool

[kenbobwrites]

The name on the backdrop sheet is "The Rodents." There's hundreds of cats in the place and there's a poster of dog breeds just above the light switch he shuts off after walking through the house. Tragically Hip is brilliant. The songs keep getting better every time you hear them.

[lalaboards]

Way better than Michael Jackson

[camtassone]

little bones owns though, that rhymed and you know it did

[bttf4444]

This song has got to be amongst the best by The Tragically Hip. :)

[myleskubicek]

boots or hearts

[LuthienC]

LOL at pot in the fish tank...Love The Hip.

[LumpyBedWetter]

nice beat, easy to listing to, plus the other 20+ hits this band has got, the hip are a hit

[Vixxxen333]

The difference between the Hip and mainstream bands of today is that Gord is an amazing front man. He sells his band with his wholehearted belief in it. Plus he's super fun to see perform!

[visionarydreams]

Cats and Poets,,great combo.....<3

[visionarydreams]

There is no comparison to the mainstream bands of today....This band is real, and rocks and it isn't about a lead singer posing,,it's about real music, real writing, real melodies, it's about the MUSIC!

[supremewhiteguy]

God how this guy ever made it big is beyond me ......cant comprehend it....his voice . ... melodies all made up on the spot like he had nuttin' to do one day...boring monotonous .......holy crap ....who's lap did he kneel in front of to get this far ? and his voice sounds retarded like some reject god my neice sings better than this crap clown.....and this is Canada's best ?.........whew yuck !!!!!... that shrill...ehhhaaaa (uses it every song too like a formula ....ad nauseum) ..snore !!!!!!!!!

[Jaytheredneck1]

Whatever man, millions of people actually do like the hip, and if you don't well I don't think anyone is forcing your dumb ass to listen.

[broncobob59]

Yeah slap, and your probably a Justin Timberlake lover! What a douche!

[Caliburn89]

Hey man, Justin Timberlake is sensational. Futuresex/Lovesounds is a great album.

[jobigs15]

stop commenting on ever hip video and get a life u dirt bag.. fuck off.. Canada has the best musicians fuck off

[Samcrow504]

but we do apologies for unleashing celine dion, that just went wrong our bad

[bttf4444]

Shut up! It's one thing to not be particularly fond of The Tragically Hip, but your attitude is absolutely atrocious! Your screen name says a lot, too!

[curtisn33]

[stevy17]

someone help me out whats the name of the song ive been crying for feeling twice my age its gonna bug me all week

[TheC33]

Diggin' A Hole by Big Sugar is what your looking for i think

[asdflalalal]

Canada has no good music???

Céline Dion, Rush, Shania Twain, The Tragically Hip, Jeff Healey, The Guess Who, B.T.O., Nelly Furtado, Avril Lavigne

Sum 41, Billy Talent, Simple Plan

Fiest, Nickleback, Alanis Morissette, Sam Roberts, Neil Young, April Wine, Oscar Peterson, The Band

...and I probably forgot quite a few

[xxhasuxx]

Some of the musicians you've mentioned I've personally disowned from Canada BECAUSE of their music.

[backline35]

haha yeah celine dion

[asdflalalal]

Ya, like Céline Dion? Neil Young?...You can say whatever you want about Céline, (I don't like her music at all) but she is one of the greatest singers in the world, and you can't deny that. It doesn't matter whether you particualarily like their music, but within their own genre they are mostly huge.

Oscar Peterson is one of the greatest jazz pianists, Céline Dion is one of the greatest vocalists, Alanis Morissette was huge when Jagged Little Pill came out and I don't necessarilly like her.

[xxhasuxx]

While Celine Dion is on my disowned list, you missed the mark on the other disowned musicians. I was thinking more along the lines of Nickelback, Billy Talent and Simple Plan.

Mainly Nickelback though.

[TeSoad90]

haha i like the weed in the beginning of the video

[1gudspliff]

420!

[henrytardersauce]

good pic's there, yes canada has excellent music, whoever says any different is getting a free car with a bomb previously installed.

[nevmiles]

Moist & Our Lady Peace too . . and PILOT SPEED - the most underrated Canadian band at the moment. If you don't know them or haven't given them a chance, check 'em out right now....

PILOT SPEED . NET

[extropian]

Take Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, Simple Plan, Nickleback, and Alanis Morisette off this list, then...

Add: Sloan, Metric, The Odds, I Mother Earth, Arcade Fire, Stars, DOA, 54/40, Propaghandi, The Weakerthans, and Three Inches of Blood

Now, thats Canadian music!

[Rowanx123]

yo add some hardcore!

fucked up! Dayglo abortions

[chillagma]

if you want hard core you should see KORN

[Rowanx123]

korn isn't hardcore.

[iKayle]

Verse = hardcore.

Korn = shit.

[Ticats]

Add Tea Party too

[Joshuafitforbattle]

Along with Attack in Black, Broken Social Scene, City and Colour and Cancer bats! also way more. but i'll just add a few

[raina873]

Anyone here from kingston!! ya best band in the world i am from kingston!

[sistarista01]

haha i agree with yukongolddietcoke..smoke a joint and shut the fuck up..and be sad cause your not going to see them this summer and i am lol

[oakdale19]

[yukongoldietoke]

lol everybody shut the fuck up and just smoke a joint lol fucking mugs bitching about anything you can sink your teeth into and you cant make a comment best ever, douch tard its all a matter of opinion. thats like saying best type of cheese or best drugs and tomake a statment like thats the truth except it lol who the fuck are rolling stone magazines lol are you sure your canadian cuz u sound kind of amarican..

[yukongoldietoke]

lol and please yanks dont send me back a thousand replys about the amarican comment i got better shit to do then lisn to angry rednecks its a joke take it laugh and move along

[ROHLAnick]

high times eh thats our type of magazine :)

[GabrielPFoulkes]

look I'm Canadian but I must admit ALL the greatest bands EVER were either British or American, The Clash, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Pearl Jam, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Doors, Alice Cooper, the list goes on and on. The best things us Canadians have given to music are The Band and Neil Young, but that's about it. That's the truth, accept it

[rgs2654321]

Woh woh woh that's not true!!!We got nelly fortado,Sum 41,Avril lavigne ,the hip Neil young, brian adams, the guess who melissa auf der Maur guitarist for the smashing pumpkins, three days grace, theory of a dead man,lol billy talent,celine dion,great big sea,megadeath,shall i go on? o.k steppenwolf (born to be wild), sloan, alexis on fire, barenaked ladies,hedley,nickelback,Rush, the trews, Our lady peace, the tea party, Bif naked, Crash test dummies, David usher ,never ending white lights

[silent0saint]

man you missed a few

Moist, Limblifter, Age of Electric, Junkhouse, Death From Above, and Headstones

Gabriel...it's up to us to make these bands great here in Canada, nothing of ours ever gets supported by americans unless there is something in it for them.

[rgs2654321]

Gabriel isnt Canadian and if he is he shouldnt be telling himself all we got is Niel Young... lol Were the best! lol

[rgs2654321]

Shall I tell you more? not to mention all kinds of talent in the underground metal scene and people in all your big bands from canada writting songs and playin with these guys! So next time you want to talk out of your a-hole you might want to bring some preparation it might hurt after a while

[ROHLAnick]

sorry that america has 309 million people and canada barely has 30 million people.

I would expect that out of that many people that there would be more people with talent

[satansdik]

and i would argue that out of such a humongous base, that we (meaning the rest of the world) would get less musical garbage.

along with all the other garbage your 309 million people spew all over the world.

long live the hip.

[maruskarocks]

Can't imagine why you are called Satan's dick? Hmmmm

[ROHLAnick]

hahahahaha

[brandon277]

What about Trooper? Steppenwolf? BTO? Gordon Lightfoot? Skinny Puppy? Rush? James LaBrie (Singer of Dream Theater)? The Guess Who? Tragically Hip? 54/40? Those are pretty damn good contributions as well, if I may say so.

PS. I'm sure I missed QUITE a few. Those were just the ones I can think of at the moment.

[safetosaydontquoteme]

trooper, steppenwolf, bto, rush, and the guess who are all gay, the real music was made in the 90's.

[brandon277]

Haha, I guess you must like backstreet boys, nsync, shit like that. Whatever, to each his own... I'm just saying that Canada has made more than 2 excellent contributions to music.

[safetosaydontquoteme]

i guess you don't know the ninties. alice in chains, nirvana, smashing pumpkins, sonic youth, pearl jam, mudhoney, green river. you just named the worst canadian bands out there. i would have to say city and colour, protest the hero, tragically hip, our lady peace, cancer bats, metric and matthew good are all better than the ones you named.

[brandon277]

Haha, that's funny. First off, what point are you trying to make? I said there were a few I missed that I couldn't think of at the time.

As well, I don't think Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, etc, are Canadian. I was merely pointing out that Canada has made more than 2 contributions to music. I guess you agree to that point, as you've named multiple bands that ARE Canadian.

[brandon277]

Another thing - you must not have read my entire post, because if you had, you wouldn't have added the Hip in with your list of Canadian bands that are better than the ones I listed; the Hip were in that list.

[safetosaydontquoteme]

yeah yeah man, i'm all for canadian music, i was just naming 90's bands, since you said i probably like backstreet boys or n'sync...

canadian music forever.

[dizrim]

oh would you look at that ANOTHER great canadian band!!

[KickTheAshes]

Hey!

We're an up and coming band from Vancouver.

Come by our page, and check out some of our music!

We have some live footage of the Battle of the Bands gig we just played and won.

-KickTheAshes

Comment, rate, tell us what you think!

[PURPLEprsneater]

GAH! i cant wait!

i love the hip!

[koolfrenchdude]

no body ever comments on the vid they just turn it political IE fuck Muslims

Fuck Jews Fuck the US Fuck Canada

I'm not even mentioning other races!

[FrozenKsalt]

Since when does Jesus play guitar for Tragic?

[4smokey2mc0pot]

who calls it tragic?

[GetThisNow1234]

Damn straight

[blblblou23]

FUCKING NIGGABOO

[xderekx92]

canada rules and so do the hip. nuff said.

[nickhashair]

fuck yes.

[Muthabags]

as a canadian myself i must agree the hip is the shit

[alexwatt180]

the one guy with the curly hair and sunglasses looks like a hobbit in this video

[BigAL0006]

its about the mucians and the song not a war. I love the hip first concert ever my dad took me when i was about 4 or 5 stuck in my heart for ever

[squattoilet]

Nationalism is a crutch for the ignorant and severely retarded. Face facts kids -- Americans and Canadians have way more in common than some of you like to believe.

The Hip ownes. Thats all that really matters.

[darwinanddd]

Practically hip rocks too..............they have researched Gordie for sure!!

[phatmountain18]

whos that fuckin yank.....these boys are great..simply becuz they are canadian

[grunion1000]

how bout you dipsh!ts pat atention. good music=good video=who cares

[Laloaooa]

You lost dropout

[mcnanney]

well kbo5707 us canadians are in the middle east helping you dumbass americans in the war so you might to fucking get your facts straight

[skatiabrains]

Let's just enjoy the music. Who gives a shit who's from which country? There are geniuses and retards on every continent. And I'm sure there are a few at sea. Let the music unite, not divide!

[bgunnip3]

Awesome- just one from a HUGE list of great music by these guys! (And thanks for understanding that we "Americans" are not all as ignorant and intolerant as some of our compatriots might endeavo(u)r to be.)

[squattoilet]

No, you're wrong. Quite buying into this horseshit. As a Canadian that has lived in a dozen or so different countries let me tell you that Canadians have the worst reputation of any expats because of this holier than thou nonsense. The average American and average Canadian are basically indistinguishable...until the Canadian opens his yap and starts chirping about how all Americans suck...its ignorance and nothing more.

[burbtaco]

Well to such words i reply that your assumetions may or may not be right. One thing i can tell you is trying living in iether country and see where it gets you. Holky er then what you say is shit well thats a choice of personal prefrence and we get respect with a red leaf with out opening our mouth we we peace keepers long before bin landen had a turben

[Woset]

America is the most hated country in the world what do you expect? As a Canadian who agrees that America sucks I have nothing against American citizens. They have a dumb government and that's basically it. Sure Canadians say Americans are dumb and things like that but we don't announce it on national television. Have you ever seen an American sitcom? A lot of them make fun of canadians in general.

[stu106]

the fact that you are generializing Canadians in the same way you say they do about americans, makes you twice as much of an idiot. Im Canadian and I dont hate anyone, nor do I open my yap and chirp about how people suck, and I dont know any other Canadians who do. So why dont YOU cut the ignorance and quite "chirpping".

[Laloaooa]

Telling us to stop living in a bubble you inbreed drop out. We have 1% of the worlds population but provide 10% of all forces deployed. Read a newspaper idiot. But thank you for think that Canada alone could solve it all. We all know you ruined it.

[kbo5707]

I talk shit about people and countries ONLINE over the internet because it makes my penis seem huge....grow up and realize what you are saying. may god bless you.

[torontofourpatch]

He's not high or drunk, he's just being Gord

One day i'll be as cool as him hahaha

[DanielBecker123]

I love this video, and I love his hand motions during the video, its so great, he's either high as a kite or drunk, one of the two, oh and the cats are freaking awesome, big ups to the tragically hip, they are amazing and cease to amaze me all the time

[GodScoutSavage]

yes i agree with you americans are pussies.

[olivierballs]

i alson agree that americans are bitch ass pussies

[Kylebikinas]

To go back to topic, this is a great song.

[Kylebikinas]

I've just changed my mind, FUCK the States. Buying a Canadian Steel plant, the most productive one in NORTH AMERICA, and then fucking closing it down because it does better than your fucking Pittsburgh plant? Fucking pussies; almost 2000 jobs lost in my hometown today. Fuck you America.

[Kylebikinas]

I'm not talking about just the crime rate, more about the general attitude (once again, not ALL Americans) towards certain situations, it's just that it seems they need to make some major changes to some fundamental institutions, like the health care and education sectors for example.

[peppacornrows]

sorry that we spend trillions of dollars trying to help people in the world then spend as much as canada does on healthcare.

canada doesn't mean SHIT to the world.

[georgenoory]

if by helping people you mean bombing the shit out of them and letting them get slaughtered *cough* Rwanda *cough* then ok

[peppacornrows]

better than nothing

[TheMease]

Hey, at least we canadians can walk into a foreign country, slap a canadian flag sticker on us, and not get mugged cause we've been mistaken for Americans. I've spoke to so many Americans that do this.. they wear a canadian flag sticker on them when they travel, so they don't get mugged. The world hates America. And you know it.

[Kylebikinas]

This is not meant to be offensive to any present Americans, but I am so glad that I live in Canada, knowing what goes on across the border. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Canada doesn't have its own skeletons as well, I am just of the opinion that our skeletons are not nearly as frightening as those of our neighbours

[Hammo]

Totally agree man. I mean, it's nothing directly at Americans, the crime rate just seems a tad higher down there.

[asaidsam]

It's higher because their population is I believe 300 Million! ..Ours is about 30 Million I believe, Correct me if I'm wrong. But it's true, nothing against the American people, I actually believe they are the most open minded people in the world. But Fuck the American government, Obama ruled or not. Same as Canadians, and I love living in Canada, no where in the world can I receive such opportunities as a minority and as a Muslim.

[aurlis2012]

fuck all the comments below. this tune is pimpin! go canada! legalize it! YYEYEYEUHEUEEEE

[johngault55]

i find it sad that canada is starting to sound as devided as america

[tukthedestroyer]

if you guys havent figured out that the government serves only itself especially the canadian government, and you keep squabbling over whos better the sheet will remain over your eyes as they slowly take away your basic rights and put you in a cage for life. think about our right to bear arms its not even a right its a privelidge as is hunting and we all know how the crown would defend its wildlife. please wake up!

[soulsuckingmonkey]

vote GREEN

if you vote NDP OR LIBERALS were all fucked they will just tell you what you want to here and the they will fuck us all over

yet we still keep voting for these dick fucks like Harper

VOTE GREEN

[Kylebikinas]

I love how the seaweed in the aquarium looks like pot leaves lol

[aurlis2012]

LOL damn. good eye fellow pothead!

[Reeve9207]

Thank you. Okay, fine. Anyone know why his eyes are closed...? Is it symbollic, or what?

[ConceptualShark]

His name's Gordon Downey

[Reeve9207]

Anyone notice the singer's- forget his name -eyes are closed in the beginning for quite a while?

[lioman5]

ya, i noticed that, but its just the low-res strectches the pixels across his eyes

[StoneTemplePilots24]

hey haper may be an idiot but all politics are idiots thay may seem smart in the election but when they get elected they all completley change into idiots

and hey it could be worse we could have bush lol

[Milmer12]

awsooome song but weird video o.o

[groover2u]

This song is deeper than than the the aquarium with the plants... figure out who the poets are... and it all makes sense...

[ZOGMACHINE88]

im stupid so please tell me.

[groover2u]

Watch Gordon Downie's hand movements during the first 57 seconds of this vid...

[7Ronan1967]

The Rodents lol and I love all the cats. The fish must be enjoying all that weed :)

[IgnoranceKing86]

i mean say that. See thats the error you find in being high or driunk or whatever. we're not dumb we're gramartically retarded and dumb at the keys

[IgnoranceKing86]

I always find it especially enjoyable to see the lyricist being playful with his own lyrics in his videos so you get an idea where his mind was at and how he feels after. I'm high and drunk. Is that intelligently questionable for me to ask that?

[raina873]

id like to see the hip play more of their older songs from road apples and up to here , every time you go, (she didnt know one of their best) , when the weight comes down, opiated, born in the water, bring it all back all great tunes!

[willma313]

i'm taking my first comment back really really sorry about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alanis2007]

i love thee....awesomer band....

[willma313]
