[enokarkow]

[DMurph44]

This should be the theme song for the 90's, it was the greatest era for american music (a lot of you would agree)

[rcknbkr403]

Ummmmm. No.

[RoxyKilled94]

yes

[ytbaabyt]

Back up 10 years and you're right on.

[ytbaabyt]

Baaahhhh. My comment below was supposed to be a reply to DMurhp44's comment.

[laxerguy16]

fuck the 80s

[laxerguy16]

nooooo god no great music came out of that era but what about the 60s? that music influenced alot of the music in the 90s because of generation x.

[tman1879]

yes!!! this song is the goods!

[staphinfection]

[CrypticWriter]

This is one of my absolute favorite songs.

[helthib]

[54spiritedwill54]

I love this song so much.

[isabellaXOvigilante]

i fuckin love gordon gano!

[rpd123abc]

great memories! To relly get them, I think you have from the same era. i grew up in the Chicago Suburbs at around the same time and I always feel I know exactly what theyre talking about. I love them!!!!!!!!!

[tomlyoldhappyderek1]

Not true,you just have to be a somewhat confused sort of person between the ages of roughly 13 and 20-something? Who knows? I get them though.

[librarising79]

Oh hell yeah. Awesome. This is the first time I've seen this video! Killer.

[KenCat1337]

Fucking geniuses.

Artists.

[foundcausemiscreant]

i like american music

[dudesons441]

gordons voice makes him sound like hes a huge stoner and a skater but he doesent look like one at all lol

[erestube]

That's a damn good video! I love these guys! Too bad this was basically the end of the run for them. Stuff like this just doesn't go big-time. Drummer left after this album and things went downhill. But, thank god for YouTube!

[papaproposition]

I like this music

[CeiliPeace]

I had this song stuck in my head all day...LOL

My mum said she wanted to play this at her STOPP dance when she was in school, but it said drugs so she couldn't. I thought that was funny. Great song though. ^_^

[182poop182]

man... fuckin gnar.

[GuitarScream94]

u know this sounds suspiciously similar to were not gonna take it by twisted sister. listen 2 the solo of this & you'll see

[darkbc1]

twisted sister????? lmao,put the crack pipe away!!

[nandomanzo]

darkbc1 is right, cut the crack m8

[mayday992]

[GuitarScream94]

[Chenzel05]

Here's Johnny!!!!

[adj789]

[AnaSousa04]

I LOVE VIOLENT FEMMES :D

Come to PORTUGAL, please !

[2011mjh]

!! GREAT SONG !!

[ichewtoast111]

lol did u do to many drugs?

[layhao]

Their best song is "Tonight" but I cant find it on here.

[madgolfer711]

Easily the best song by the Violent Femmes. Listening to it makes me recall my youth and remember how much great music came out in the early mid-90s.

[ookland81]

How can three men be so bloody talented, yet be so unknown. The reality that defies logic. Even NASA would be stumped to explain.

The general population of the western world must have its musical taste up its backside.

Thank god I am one of the chosen ones who are blessed by this musical experienced.

As a fan my biggest challenge is which Femmes CD for today. There are all, The best of.

[spencers65]

"The general population of the western world must have its musical taste up its backside."

YES, You've hit the nail on the head.

[garymilli]

american music is a class album !!!!!!very underated band

[KizzleSmith]

lol the asian guy dancing at 1:36

[hollyhock100]

The best song in the history of Rock 'n Roll!

Why?

Not sure....

I just know it in my soul!!!!!!!!!!!

[poetATdawn]

This song is the best song! It's SO damn awesome!

[ifu0nlynew]

"i like american music best"

great song!!

[WheelofTime]

This song reminds me of me... honestly... I feel like I was born too late... I missed out on some of the best music this country has had to offer.

[hollyhock100]

Hell no! It's all there for you now!!

Enjoy!

Just turn of the TV!

[69stork]

dude music today is ass. literally.

[taxidriver1990]

Such an upbeat, awesome song. It's #1 on my iTunes "Top Played" list. Violent Femmes FTW.

[Hanner2012]

[awsimo826]

I like American music best to.

[Quag7]

I like to get weird to this song. My favorite by VF by far. I can't not sing along with it...verses and chorus.

[wutup66]

Amazzing band buy a cd to support them

[lonelygirlI5]

[ssm343]

Be a true patriot, do the world a favor and play this at you next backyard barbeque! Loud!!

[nunupiemwah]

i love this song!!!!

[firstpixel]

I went to their free show on 2004 in San Diego DelMar Fair

[111weedman111]

i was like 10 years old when my older sister and mom took me to their concert. it rocked.

[fallfight1201]

copacetic...

[manekineko1984Ew]

BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!

[elschizo40]

this is my theme song

[crannogdiver]

Ohh Ohh Ohh

here to stay.

Yus! love it here...

R t Y

[crannogdiver]

it took me 10 years 2 too manydrugs. Now I'm in the UK. Hillbillly on the piss. Yee |Haa

R t Yank

[falstaffswims]

Great about the UK. If you're in England, and you want MORE drugs still, they've got this new designer drug there that's especially popular with South London Chav kids: it's called "airplane glue" and it comes in little foil tubes ...and they asell it at hobby stores and toy shops. But do it the South London way, and "nick it." I warn you, though, there ARE side effects: it makes your teeth go all "wangly" (yellow and mangled), your face all "spotty," your queen into a harpy.

[falstaffswims]

It also makes you and your countrymen stupid as all hell, while your comedians remain inexplicably funny. It will make women give birth after only four months, usually to hideous skull-warped monstrosities like Lily Allen (who is rumored to be vying with incumbent Elizabeth II for the post of "Queen of the Harpies." I know what you're thinking: "What about Margaret Thatcher?" She eats harpies for breakfast, locked in a frozen torturous parody of bliss down in the very bottom center of Hell.

[erasemeaway]

lmafao

[jeremymeador30]

LMAO! spot on!

[carribbeandreams2004]

A thumbs up to that! But many of my fellow U.S. countrymen were pretty dumb to re-elect Bush in 2004. He is the crappiest President the U.S. has ever had. I last heard Bush has a 19% approval rating.

[mangokitty]

Agree completely, carribbeandreams2004. Bush and the Republicans have screwed this country over for decades to come. Defeat the rightwing freakshow GOP in November!

[crannogdiver]

yup

[bitchyblackfary666]

this band fuckin rocks

XD

[fekhoff]

Who cares where they're from!!! Great band

[StJude482]

great band and i think there from Canada

[gregtubez]

Actually they are from Milwaukee Wisconsin, I was under the impression for a long time they were Canada too, I figured Vancouver for some reason

[Riotgirl93]

they have a song called Vancouver. easy mistake I though the same thing until i bought this live album and I heard their accents and they kept talking about Wisconsin on the album.

[gregtubez]

I guess thats probably why i figured they was from Van! :^S

[carribbeandreams2004]

I found out the femmes were from Milwaukee by visiting their website. However, I think it is great that you bought their music. I am going to buy a femmes CD in the future just to support these guys.

[falstaffswims]

I was always puzzled by the fact that they sounded Canadian... I couldn't put my finger on what "sounded Canadian" about them... I think part of it was that, somehow, the opening music from "The Kids in the Hall" reminded me of the Violent Femmes...

[jeremymeador30]

they're from chicago, the windy city?

[meowmykitties]

Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

[carribbeandreams2004]

Miwaukee, Wisconsin per the Violent Femmes website. Good Call. :)

[carribbeandreams2004]

Kitty called it correct. From Milwaukee Wisconsin USA.

[atlcowboy2536]

talk about disco eyes...those pupils are huge

[dkallisti]

jesus christ, you said it. hows he even remembering the words? .... wonder how many takes this took

[Malady]

[malemanvideo]

[darkside147]

Did you do to many drugs too????? ;)

[jenton70]

Growing up in Milwaukee, I was able to see them many times. They've always been awesome live. Everytime I look at that ugly lake....it reminds me of me.

[Saskyc]

[peacegiver1]
