Sparklehorse - Pig

[kmsampare]

I want to run through the woods listen to this song.

[xalifornia]

punk. fucking. rock.

[mariemolkoholic]

i wanna be a pig, i wanna fuck a car

[TheSuperSmokey]

I find no difficulty to masturbate over this

[fnuggras]

i think this is good & arctic monkeys suck

[TheAppleSauceKid]

@fnuggras Darn right. I listened to a few of their songs because my ex girlfriend likes them a lot.

[TheAppleSauceKid]

Anyone else think this song has a very "Arctic Monkeys"-like feel? I'm pretty sure it's the other way though... anyone else think Arctic Monkeys have a very "Pig"-like feel?

[defbizkit]

I think that must be Tom Waits hes fighting in the woods there

[bradenls0]

an excellent introduction to the album

[paperclipsquash]

If Mark had have fucked a car, it would have xploded on the highway and traffic helicopters would encircle it. Mark would be long gone. On his horse>

[Bradius123]

I wanna be a stupid and shallow mother fucker now!

I wanna be a tough skinned bitch but I dont know how.

I wanna be a brand new baby with a spongy brain

well that what i sing when i am nutting the kids bedroom door :)

I got good morning spider from the accounts department at work for my 30th Birthday, best work present ever and still lovening it. rest mark.

[Bradius123]

I wanna be a stupid and shallow mother fucker now!

[Bradius123]

this is like the nihilistic self destruction intro which starts the best album ever

[endlessnameless941]

Fuck, the song he plays in the beginning of the video is awesome. Did he ever record it? I keep watching the video just for the intro. I like Pig but I like the other song better.

[EPFAgentJetPackGuy]

why did he shoot himself he is awsome! :(

[WhiteWolfWinter]

@EPFAgentJetPackGuy He shot himself because he was depressed.

[EPFAgentJetPackGuy]

@WhiteWolfWinter I know he was depressed but why was he depressed thats what I don't get! :(

[TheIGamblingIMan]

@EPFAgentJetPackGuy To the best of knowledge I THINK it was like relationship problems or something? I donno, brilliant artists are always depressed : /

[PistachioPistachio]

You are worth hundreds of sparrows Mark Linkous.

[SquirtonLsD]

"tough skinned bitch" ..is he talking about britney spears in 98?

[mrfudgeyhead]

So pure.

[MochizMuM]

Jack?

[lavishmcronald]

sounds a lot like iggy, super good

[stylusbarbed]

Great video.

[IggyHazard]

Somewhat Smashing Pumpkinsesque sound style. Maybe with some Soundgarden and Marilyn Manson visual influence.

The idea of a pig raping a car is hilarious to me. XD What would you do0m if a clown unscrewed the top of yore hedd and vomited a radioactive liquid pig into yore brain?

\8-P

[eclipticstarsign]

This video seems very Tom Waits-esque.

[MochizMuM]

jack Nicholson ?

[heyjude97]

@MochizMuM Mark Linkous

[MochizMuM]

@heyjude97 ....jack nicholson.

[xlrious1]

@MochizMuM mark linkous dude, its mark linkous

[mrfudgeyhead]

@xlrious1

Are you sure it's not Jack Nicholson?

I see some Joker in this.

[xlrious1]

@mrfudgeyhead haha, yeah im sure. only a mind like marks can match this song with a video

[3R1CtheRED]

wat effect or mic is he using to make is voice sound like this?

[LAYNELIVES1]

@3R1CtheRED

A distortion pedal into Microphone . And he's using a very cheap microphone on stage to get that sound .

If you have Garageband ( only on Apple macintosh computers ) , you have the " Megaphone " effect , it gives you exactly the same sound .

[iamjoedubois]

hahaha, what does he want to do to a car?

[kalonjikalonji]

spooky video!

[MrSallyjane]

Actually does anyone know who it was directed by? Its great!

[xlrious1]

@MrSallyjane mark did...he did everything

[MrSallyjane]

Ahh this is such a cool video! I keep watching it over and over =]

[tyrocks14]

I Love the beginning. Does anyone have a link 2 the tab?

[nadmc]

oh man, I just found out he died right now that I'm starting to listen his songs today...like sad & beautiful world was the 1st song I heard. man, it sucks that artists kill themselves. RIP then.

[scrumchubber]

its a strange feeling to know he recently killed himself. i only found out about him 2 months before he did it. i was thinking about killing myself around the same time, not that that means anything, it's just weird to know that someone else did it and that i'm still here. life is hard for me to understand :-) i think it's great that he made music though.

[VaughnMichael]

Wow I just found out about his death, this is really horrible.

This song and video got me into this band, what a sad loss.

[eyrie0]

I think you people are seriously off-course if you think Sparklehorse lyrics were ever to be taken literally... ;)

Anyway, I love this song (and Sparklehorse). Such an energy boost!

[sunriseRISE]

my fave songwriter/singer, band leader rock n rolloing ex coal miner.........MARL YOU WERE A STARRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[placebo150]

[willyrobinson]

is this pig of the flesh-eating variety?

[alfredox17]

it's like a death metal video with real music, kickass music xD

great song

[FridayMortimer69]

@alfredox17 suck a dick. Death Metal is the bomb.

[FridayMortimer69]

@alfredox17 oh, and death metal guys don't wear goth make-up.

I think you mean Black Metal, but you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

[raptoresque]

reminds me of the white stripes

[nanatsu7]

The singer sounds like... pj harvey, but its not her, or is she?

[cruelkitti]

She sings some in this song, yes...the chorus is sung by both Pj Harvey and Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) I love their vocals together...she sings in some of Good Morning SPider, too

[whitestarliners]

Such a top tune!!! love how it starts !!!

[krnflks]

He wants to be a "stupid and shallow motherfucker".

Stupid shallow motherfuckers love material things, like cars. Maybe too much if you know what I mean.

Its "Fuck a car".

[paidinteeth]

"Sorry to disappoint you raging homos" says the guy named TEEBAG48

[looshkin66]

word!

[RiotSymphony7]

@paidinteeth

hey, man! it's not gay if you're the one doing the tea-bagging :O

jk that's pretty gay.

[airpbj]

It IS 'fuck a car'....can you honestly not hear that? Don't listen to the morons that say otherwise.

[raptoresque]

@airpbj so what?! get over it you freak

[PhantomPatriotZero]

Same  here.

[Director705]

Sucks, but dude, it's all good shit, just mostly sad and soft, while this is totally badass.

[hectormandarin]

I've always thought he was singing fuck a car, not suck a cock, either way Sparklehorse are great and should be more well known than they are.

[louXboneless]

It's most def. 'suck a cock'.

Get over it.

[Stevedorex3]

Yep. It's "suck a cock". Every line in the song makes sense in context except "fuck a car". Whereas "suck a cock" seems to fit perfectly with the notion of being a pig. Granted he's a guy, but doesn't that just make it more piggish?

[Stevedorex3]

I absolutely love this song. First time seeing the video. Brilliant. I own the disc which doesn't contain lyrics. In this video it sounds like he's singing this verse:

"I wanna be a pig

I wanna fuck a car"

However I've had the cd for years and it always sounded like he was singing:

"I wanna be a pig

I wanna suck a cock"

Just listened to it again on my mp3 player. Swear he's saying "suck a cock".

Anyone have a clue what I'm talking about?

[waywardsmile]

Thanks Jake...I've always loved this song, never knew the words. A little disturbing to know that I was right on some of them.

[JakeHiorns]

Why don't you sing me that, pretty lullaby then when you're singing great, pack it all up I Wanna new face right now and i want it bad I wanna new body thats strong i'm a butchered cow I wanna try and fly I wanna try and die I wanna be a pig I wanna fuck a car I wanna be a stupid and shallow muthafucka now I wanna be a tough skinned bitch but i dunno how I wanna be a shiny new baby with a spongy brain I wanna be a horse filled with fire that will never tame

[Blacklightroom]

sprinkler-hose is my FAV band!!!!!!

hahaha .. no really, mark linkus is so genius..i see The Cars in alot of what he does, kinda loox like Rick Ocasek sometimes too

[ttiinnaasstt]

I miss analog:(

[MyBlueSparkle]

simple ingenious

[bennymutant]

This guy's amazing. His stuff is do dark but so beautiful. When's the next album?

[FilthCandy]

jarring... love the song and video's fairly cool...ty

[servo1056]

also my fav song but i just never really focused on this vid before...my opinion?dont watch this vid when your rolling your ass off!its fucking maddddddddddddddddddddd

[dawnchorus329]

my favorite sparklehorse song

[dawnchorus329]

i want a new face right now and i want it bad!

[lobot666]

Linkous is a creative musical genus...

[gorillabiscuits]

sparklehorse is one dude

[undermars]

Amazing band >=D

[rancours]

Lol the lead singer lives right down the road from me.

I find that very fascinating since I love his music.

[saba462]

i love this song and i love sparklehorse but...why does he want to f*ck a car?

[blackleatherjacket]

yes i love this sound too reminds me of the 90s the good old days!

[djrushin]

He doesn't. I believe he says that he wants to 'suck a cock'. DR, Leicester, UK

[Dude421]

Hence being a pig?

[tonberryknife]

nah its fuck a car

[Dude421]

Yes. I wasn't arguing. But I must admit, if he's gonna be havin sexual intercourse with cars, he needs extra strength Viagra and warming-sensation Trojan XPlus to get their "motor" running, if you know what I mean..

[tomroadrunner]

Oh... I thought he was saying "I wanna fuck a cop"... I'm not convinced I'm wrong yet, but now I'm not completely convinced that I'm right either! Haha

[rabbits78]

Lol I thought it was "suck a cock"! This dude rocks

[sweetttina666]

MAD FREAKOUT!

[ScornedbySara]

I believe this video was made after Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) overdosed on wine, xanax and heroin and collapsed hunched over on his knees. He had been unconscious on his knees facing the floor for fourteen hours before he was discovered. He's lucky to be able to walk now, as he had to use a wheelchair for a long time afterwards. He's even luckier to be alive.

[servo1056]

you are correct sir.that was on the radiohead tour."blanket me sweet nurse".

[Bradius123]

I dont know but Good morning spider is a fantastic album. Pig is like the death wish and the rest of the album is the recovery.

[DGuidi]

amazing!!!

[xloeyx]

love this song! shame i cant seem to download it.

[servo1056]

buy the cd!its on there.

[DoxVoom]

I really really really like this song, and never knew there was a video for it. Thanks for posting it!

[gwogwo123123]

[Lucanio]

[jack00008]

the beginning of the video is an homage to Daniel Johnston

[grimsfire]
