  • @lvfismf lol!!

  • hey @wolfsings if you bend over I'll give you a hand by pulling that stick out of your ass.

  • @brandlew i'm so glad you've got enough privilege to be ignorant.

  • @brandlew - really? what do you have to be mad about? am i a killjoy to your cultural appropriation? you don't get it, obviously; a lot of non-Indian people don't. but if youre not a Native American, dont go around telling them what SHOULD or SHOULD NOT be offensive. your ignorant righteousness is disgusting. please go educate yourself.

  • @TheWolfSings free Leonard Peltier

  • @brandlew - fuck yeah

  • @TheWolfSings I guess what I am saying is that you obviously have a lot of emotional energy and you are wasting it to hold on to a culture that, while beautiful and noble, has passed liike many before and like this current culture will too. Instead embrace that represents you. Not a culture passed and not a culture present. Create something beautiful and plant a seed, instead of tending to a great tree whose last leaves are soon to fall, if not already

  • @AdamSewell - No. How do you not get this? AMERICAN INDIANS ARE NOT DEAD. Their culture IS NOT DEAD. This is like "oh hey let me forget everything that happened in history and just steal someone else's identity cause I dont have my own" and "let me romanticize another people because ive never actually known a REAL indian in my fucking life so i can just remain ignorant". Here, educate yourself, ask questions, see what they and their allies are saying: mycultureisnotatrend.tumblr.co­m/

  • @TheWolfSings Fuck Yeah man.I'm a cowboy and the cowboys portrayed in tis video are incredibly shitty. I mean shit man. My people died killin praire niggers like yourselF, and when Shit heads SLANDER my people like this it grinds my gears. YEEEE HAAAAWW!

  • @TheWolfSings FUCK  EVERYONE OF ALL RACES THAT AREN'T LIKE ME. So, nanny, nanny, boo, boo. I hate indians and everyone else, including myself. What can you say for ANY group of people who can't fight off aggressors? They are weaker than their aggressors. LIFE. We do live in a jungle. GET OVER IT and yourself.

  • @type2s13 The problem is ... we simply ADORE ppl like us! I myself even can't imagine to find any1 outside WASP community 2 be that sexy, u no... I'm no jokin'! I do believe it's deeply rooted in our self-preservation -smthg we can't change.

  • @TheWolfSings I bet you a gazillion bucks that you're a white dude. How about you let the OFFENDED RACE speak for themselves? I'm so over hearing white people telling everyone what is and isn't okay. Lame.

  • @pancakesandwichhh - Valid point. I agree with you, though I'm not quite a dude. But I'm not doing all the talking, here. I've been linking to blogs that are about this topic (and are moderated by native americans), but no one seems to be reading them. Also I just started this convo bc no one else was saying anything about all this bs. Here are links though: mycultureisnotatrend.tumblr.co­m svnoyi.tumblr.com fiercelynative.tumblr.com ohqueouiindiens.tumblr.com

  • @TheWolfSings Im offended by the way this video portrays European Americans as cowboys.

  • @TheWolfSings hey faggot its a fuckin joke get over yourself.......btw the wolf sings is ur username and ur a native american how douchey and cliche can u get

  • @TheWolfSings I'm not sure that putting on cartoonish costumes, singing into a cactus and dancing with scantily clad cowgirls qualifies as cultural appropriation, especially here. But it seems you sure are trying to be a killjoy. Besides, did you notice the cactus microphone?

    Long live Black Lips!

  • are they serious? why the fuck are they wearing native american costumes? this is a complete lack of respect for actual indigenous peoples, blatant cultural appropriation, and a disgusting display of ignorance to what harm they are actually creating.

  • @TheWolfSings hahahahahahah

  • @TheWolfSings OMG you're right! Hey, have you heard about the Village People?? They're so offensive! A complete lack of respect for indigenous people, plumbers and police officers!

  • @SebastianQ86 - yeah you're right. Im not talking about plumbers and police officers, though, since they're not racially categorized. but a plains indian is.

  • @TheWolfSings We live in America, genius. It's also a MUSIC VIDEO.

    Seriously gtfo lol you made a fool of yourself. xD Now bend over for brandlew.

  • @amby44 - We live in America? What the actual fuck is that supposed to mean? That we shouldnt give a fuck about the peoples who have lived on this continent for thousands of years?

  • @TheWolfSings it is too bad that you are making such a tremendous effort to be offended, because 50 years from now after you have died, there will be no one to say, "Poor TheWolfSings, he was ahead/out of his time."

    even if there was a group of people to reflect upon the hypothetical impact your petty bickering has left, eventually anyone that has ever had anything to do with anything will die. All that will remain is dirt. Eventually even that dirt will vaporize and cease to be.

  • @AdamSewell - mycultureisnotatrend.tumblr.co­m/

  • @TheWolfSings Everything that has ever been done has already been done and will be done again. Brightly colored geometric patterns are not the invention of Native Americans. Neither is any other aspect of my culture that is being "appropriated" by the American youth.

    The point is this: Something beautiful will remain so with or with out the appreciation or understanding from anyone. So put all the frustration that you are trying to vent on YouTube into something as beautiful as you and me.

  • @AdamSewell - So you're saying that cultural appropriation is ok because "it's been done before". Wow. Open your eyes. It is NOT ok to allow &/or support non-Indians wearing headdresses or other SACRED Native objects/attire. All they're doing is trying to conjure up some bullshit "Indianness" to represent "what Indians are", which is a bunch of romanticized facades that continues to oppress Native peoples by further marginalizing them as "Others".

  • @AdamSewell - The non-Native people wearing these items, like those in this video, dont know shit about what any of it means. They think they're being "hip", that they're "going Native"; both ideas stem from general ignorance about other peoples and also racist ideas about what Amerinds are, how they live, etc. Also, stop patronizing me. Your argument is "let non-Native people steal Native American religious/cultural attire". That is effectively erasing an entire continent of peoples. Way to go.

  • @TheWolfSings Yeah and now they all own casinos.

    What happened happened, point is we're not the ones who did it.

    Stop getting all butthurt ya panzy. They're just costumes, dumbshit.

  • @amby44 - youtube.com/results?search_que­ry=the+canary+effect&aq=f

  • @amby44 - Because the status of people of color and minority groups is unequal to that of whites and other hegemonic social groups, whites dressing up as, depicting, or trying to embody any aspect of a minority’s (or anyone’s) culture reaffirms that there are serious societal imbalances along racial lines, and in failing to recognize that and change and/or alter your behavior you are supporting and reinforcing the centuries long history of oppression, segregation, and hegemony of our society.

  • @TheWolfSings how dare anybody who isn't of italian heritage eat spaghetti, or pizza!!!!!!!!! it makes me so angry when other people steal my culture and belittle my people like that!!!!!

  • @rastaman2345 - How dare you compare ignorantly wearing another culture's SACRED items --attire from cultures that have been historically raped & murdered by Europeans, its peoples forced to be "Westernized" at the threat of death and are still marginalized to this day--- to eating spaghetti.

  • @TheWolfSings by your logic it would be wrong to make, say, a western movie with ''indians'' where they are played by non-natives

  • @dritos - yep. it is wrong.

  • @TheWolfSings i smell a troll

  • @dritos - i dont know what youre talking about. people keep posting their racist and incredibly misinformed opinions directly *at me* because of my original post. i stop talking until someone replies to something i said.

  • @TheWolfSings How dare you compare reverently wearing one's own culture's SACRED items --attire from a culture whose history is still being recovered, rewritten, forgotten, or forged anew, its peoples not homogeneously united nor necessarily rejecting modern egalitarian Westernization--- to wearing silly costumes in a music video.

    If they dressed in generic lederhosen, you wouldn't have a problem with this, mofuggin' racist. ;p

  • @poodychulak - what. youtube.com/results?search_que­ry=the+canary+effect&aq=f

  • @TheWolfSings Trail of Tears, trail o' tears...

  • @TheWolfSings hey Mr. Zinn why dont you give your bleeding heart a fucking break and go argue over something somewhat valid. theyre just some kids wearing feathers and its just a song. no ones massacring defenseless villagers here

  • This is amazing! I love it.

  • I am highly offended by the lack of representation you have obviously incorporated in your highly advanced parody sub-represented as it is. In indifference to the equation Maxwell would have written to describe your music in derivative terms it stands to reason the hyper-tonalities scalp the western world of any sensible substantiation noteworthy of grace as may be generated in music appreciation that echos more than the enjoyment and humor I have survived in your creative presentation.

  • @patp2 wow, shut the fuck up.

  • @JohnnyHacksaw No shit, man!

  • great garage punk

  • 0:58 i about hit the floor

  • im gona dress up as a indian today and walk around south street

  • I LOVE YOU THE BLACK LIPS! :D

  • wtf?! blacklips you mothafuggas...i can't be angry, this doens't degrade me, it don't degrade no one, crazy white kids.

  • @24thingstodo A fuckin men

  • great funny i call scemo*-garage/punk rock, that's very difficult to do, the most who try this genre usually finish to be scemo only *= idiot silly or fool

  • they're like garage rock meets Swell Maps. really great!

  • So is that Jack Hines?

  • Also, despite his moustache and peculiar love of daisy dukes, Jared isn't gay either

  • this seems like a homage to 1984's RHCP's - "true men don't kill coyotes"

  • i was thinking the same thing

  • You guys are so funny with your stupid comments. They just have fun, they recorded this song in 2002 or may be earlier. They were young, and they did a funny music video, that's all. They are not racist at all, they recorded a single with GZA from the Wu Tang Clan (who is black). You better check their discography, or get informed...

  • Can't really expect a band called the "Black Lips" to be sensitive to stereotypes. Muhahaha!

  • los amo hijos de la chingada, aaay me los quiero tirar a todos, los amo cabrones!!!

  • What a racist video.

  • @lkjhgfdsa123able i agree most of the time. the mummies/ gories are better than cheap time, king khan, all of billy childish's bands. but i think the black lips come close. know any other good similar bands? specifically similar to the mumies?

  • @lkjhgfdsa123able @lkjhgfdsa123able i agree most of the time. the mummies/ gories are better than cheap time, king khan, all of billy childish's bands. but i think the black lips come close. know any other good similar bands? specifically similar to the mumies?

  • @lkjhgfdsa123able i love the mummies and the black lips. know any other similar bands to the mummies?

  • @PhilFoxNJ Supercharger, Thee Mighty Caesars, and in some cases even Devo or Residents are slightly similar, depending on your mood and openness to the slightly unusual :D

  • @lkjhgfdsa123able gories are ok, but the mummies kick ass. know any similar bands?

  • LOVE this, love this band!

  • fatman loses a pound..... just a fad!!!

  • anyone have the lyrics to this? i dont have the cd this is off of and i dont think the lyrics were even in that cd either way...but if anyone can understand the lyrics or has them somehow or watever please post!

  • Äh

  • lol @ square cowgirls

  • Great Band!

  • Comment removed

  • The Black Lips embody rock'n'roll. Although their sound seems quite conservative it's more innovative than anything of todays bands.

  • squire should totally do a cole alexander signature guitar based off his bullet strat, same with kid congo powers and his 80's squire strat, that way squire would have infinitely cooler signature guitars then fender, who seriously wants an old man clapton signature model, or david gilmour, that shit blows. I'm going to ask them right now, whos with me?

  • roll on

  • Best song and best band ever

  • yeah what an epic band!

  • The drummer reminds me of Kieth Moon. The band itself reminds me a lot of Gas Huffer. Right on. Good stuff.

  • probably the best band ever

  • ...kick ass.

    That's all I have to say.

  • genial exactamente lo que me gusta "natives and rock"

  • i listen to this song ALL the time

  • love the costumes

  • what kind of guitar use the lead guitar?

  • its a 5 or 6 string bass you can tell by the pickups i think

  • no, i dont think so, i dont mean the bass guitar, i mean the lead guitar, the white guitar

  • it's a japanese "heavy metal" fender tele painted white.

  • type in 80's bullet tele into google images, the first image should be a 80's white bulet tele, thats what he has, if you watch this vid, you'll see the black 5 way pickup selector on his guitar, proving it's not the heavy metal tele. Good shout though.

  • Snot, its a duo-sonic.

  • 0:59 is why i play rocknroll ahhhhhh
