At The Hundreth Meridian - Fully Completely - The Tragically Hip

[TheQuentin1979]

he became ameriacan everything does.

[fsmakela]

Fully, Completely... one of my favourite albums!@!!!#@&!

[TheQuentin1979]

one of the best bands to come out of north america other than metallica gnr and ac/dc

[hrspwr]

@TheQuentin1979 wha, never mind.

[GrasshopperTW]

@TheQuentin1979

ac/dc is Australian......

[mikecappa]

@TheQuentin1979 i think ac/dc are from australia or something.

[thechamblee11]

@mikecappa ya they are your so smart. tragically hip is from canada home of good beer and good weed so get the fuck out or shut the fuck up

[SmiffWit]

@TheQuentin1979 ...errrr... not that I disagree about the Hip (your other nominations notwithstanding) but... you really think AC/DC is American...?

[damage98]

not one of the best, the best. Soul...

[damage98]

omfg

[Shalshaska1993]

I do, in fact, live in Hengelo :P

[SIXXION]

I remember Buffalo.. I remember Hengelo..

[NameInVainProduction]

I love being Canadian!

[boundtogetdown]

did i see a robot chicken neon sign? i love that show, oh yea and this band rocks!!!

[TimAyresRealtor]

Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy!

[KingGeorge24]

Gordon Downie has one of the best singing voices ever!

[damnthatchainsaw]

Fully Completely will take its place beside Wheatfield Soul and Cognac and Bologna as the best Canadian albums unto infinity!!

[mongo88now88]

Listening to this song every day - good stuff. I do as well.

I would love Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy.

Hundredth was always a fav live too. Man, I can't imagine the last 20 years without the Hip. Cordelia!

[JonathanJonnoJones]

I listen to this song EVERY day. Love it!

[eviladam87]

when he is saying the hundreth meridian he is making the most annoying fucking sound ive ever heard...shit song from a C plus band

[nathanomgnathan]

how bout you suck a tail pipe cuz no one wants to hear your pessimistic attitude that only makes everyone mad and accomplishes nothing, so either fuck off or fuck off

[krishewittisawsome]

@eviladam87 GO FUCK YOURSELF comes to mind when i read your comment, is your band better than the hip? are you a full time song critic? no? then no-one wants to hear (read) your bullshit fag!

[nicdaspic]

I just looked up this Justin Beiber guy to see what all the fuss was about and oh my dear lord....when will all these mass produced, auto tuned, flavours of the week end??? It just all sounds the same now, I have simply stopped paying attention, not that it's worthy of any attention. I'll stick with my Hip any day.

[Keenen420]

@nicdaspic wow is that ever pathetic that he is even a topic of discussion on a hip video - they have nothing to do with each other - kind of like the rock and hockey/toothfairy - hes not even the flavour of the month - ur right - hes about the flavour of the week - imean sad to say i respect the jonas brothers more - lol at least theyre you know - big time right now - i cant stand any of that new crap - omfg hip rock i love the doors and pretty much anything 60s 70s and some 80s like the hip

[HDWWEClips]

@nicdaspic LOL Seriously! Rush and Hip :D

[MakenzeeRyan1]

i have never heard of these guys. I just was told they are big in canada. The only reason i looked this up was cuz justin bieber likes this song. But I kinda like it

[JediMagnusDelcarte]

Justin Bieber and wanna be musicians like him are precisely why no one listens to this sort of music ( The Hip and other good bands) anymore. Music nowadays is seldom any good and therefore is seldom worth listening to.

[MakenzeeRyan1]

okay. Whatever. he is a wannabe. right thats why he is huge. he is a good singer and deserves the succes! I listen to what i want and comment what i want you dont like it to bad

[TheJorsh101]

And yes he is a wannabe if he's only "huge" to 12 y/o prepubescent girls. He gets no respect from any guy above the age of 14 who has any sense in music and theres a reason for that. Also if you dont want negative responses, dont come to a Hip video and talk about Justin Bieber, thats just fucked.

[MakenzeeRyan1]

right cuz im 12? wow. i can look up and say whatever i want. all i said was i looked it up cuz he liked the song. Sorry if you dont like what i said

[stillbellykai]

@MakenzeeRyan1 Wow..ok...note to self..don't pick on her! :)

[MakenzeeRyan1]

haha

[TheJorsh101]

Man fuck Justin Bieber. This is a real Canadian band! man at least that kid knows some good music. Too bad he cant sing anything good.

[MakenzeeRyan1]

whatever

[fallen2077]

hahaha motherfucker dont compare justin beidear a 15 year old one hit wonder thatll be washed up by he 30 to the hip

[024eciloPehTkcuF]

justin bieber is a fool i could sing better than that p*ssy

[MakenzeeRyan1]

Why do ya'll keep giving me hate comments... I never said i didnt like the band all i said was he brought me here...

[dexterriley]

why is embedding disabled? do you not wish the vid shared?

[negation2]

and smoke pot its not bad for you in moderation... it is no different then over the counter drugs. if you are that close minded about pot i suggest you smoke it because some one in history had a closed mind once and his name was Hitler thats all i am saying

[negation2]

there is way to much anger here. I love the hip i stood outside in the largest snow storm in northern Alberta's history a day before the Hip's tickets were even being sold. and as well got my as dunked in a Nautical disaster dunk tank in the same cold and snow...... (thats to show my love) i have a simple request for all you angry people and thats to look up Simple Creed By the band Live and learn lesson (you don't wanna know how long i stood out side for Live tickets.... 4 days)

[rodneyrick]

Gord Downie is stoned out of his mind in this video.gotta love the Hip!

[CampbellTrain]

I wonder if Gross Morne National Park knew Gord wore their hat with their logo on it in the video?

[Tarfy]

We took in your dodgers when they refused to fight....so don't put all Canadians in one heap.

[cksilverado1]

I'm not sure Gordy would approve of such conversation.

[parkdale420]

lool

[TheBronzeKing]

parkdale420 and NerdyCanadian, will you please shut the fuck up or else fight somewhere else? I'm trying to listen to good music and your comments are spoiling it.

[billaroyamaha2]

so listen and stop reading BS. ???!!!!

or are you secretly enjoying their little spat u naughty boy

[parkdale420]

HaHa nerdy canadian is a dumb cunt...I am not a serb I am native.She or it blocked me for answering her dumb comments...she huffs nailpolish and is a meth addict...LOL

[NerdyCanadian]

Then why are you posting Serbian words in YouTube? Parkdale is full of losers, I read about it on Wikipedia. You're the drug user, posting videos doing drug things. Fucking loser. I hope you overdose.

I have never used drugs, because I am smarter than you. Fuck off, shithead.

[parkdale420]

And Vancouver is not full of Heroin addicts??HAHAHAHA you somehow have never been down on hastings??LOL yer dim...it's ok you can put your opinion out there like everyone else....derrr derrr derr..lol

[NerdyCanadian]

Did I imply Vancouver doesn't have serious problems? No. Your reading comprehension is pathetic! My implication is that the neighbourhood you seem to be so proud of is "low rent" and full of immigrants. Wikipedia said so. Fucking moron. The Downtown Eastside (Hastings) is the poorest neighbourhood in Canada and it's fucking disgusting down there, common knowledge. Going to be hilarious when the stupid Olympics come to town. Anyway, go back to your bong and your pathetic excuse of an existence.

[parkdale420]

Parkdale has something you couldn't understand in a million years...We have soul.The differences in us all here makes us all the same..you kinda sound on the border of a white power cunt...And if you are so smart there cunty you would know wikipedia is for morons...LOL

PS enjoy your morning Meth hit ya garbagecancocksucer!! LOL

[NerdyCanadian]

I could black, for all you know. If you weren't such a crackhead, you would know CANADIANS come in all kinds of colours. Not all of Wikipedia is accurate, but it is highly unlikely anyone would bother to put erroneous information about some part of Toronto, why bother? You can't even write in English coherently, pathetic. I guess you couldn't even complete Grade 8, eh? Thanks for just proving my point that dope smokers are just a bunch of stupid wastoids.

[parkdale420]

I could black??HAHAHA your writing skills are far from top rank cunty!! LOL

[RockGuitarManiac]

'Dope smokers are jusr a bunch of stupid wastoids'. Such a brutal generalization is absolutly false. I smoke weed, yet I am currently enrolled in college and am planning to pursue my studies at university. Does that sound like a 'stupid wastoid' ambition to you? If so, you're dumber than I thought, now stop bickering about trivial things, chill out and listen to the fucking song. Peace

[billaroyamaha2]

Wikipedia is for morons? That's a rather sweeping statement isn't it? So, you are arguing that EVERY single person that reads something on Wiki is a moron...?

I think people that use "LOL" every time they think they have made a point are dimwits.

I also feel that there are some less than desireable places to live in Toronto and Vancouver. The people that live there should clean up.

[skankachu]

best ever. talent refined to the finest degree. So fine that most of the general population cannot even appreciate its beauty. Soul, truth, beauty

[coquihalla1]

The Tragic is truely CANADIAN because they stayed with a celibral rock theme. You had to actually think what fuck they were really on about.Guess Who(American Woman),Rush,BTO,Neil Young(now a US citizen),Nelly Fertado & Sarah McLaughlin ALL played to an American audience for the bucks.(Keep it simple, the idiots will buy anything with a melody.) What American would know about the plight of Dav Milgard,the CBC, or the Brandon Wheat Kings? But ask a Canadian soldier in Afghanistan.Different story.

[scrubsrules98]

your so right superdemonspeed!

[SuperDemonSeed]

listening to this song while driving across saskatchewan is awesome

[algonkin64]

Great Canadian band!!!

[Calgaryfan14]

One of the best bands to ever come out of Canada

[riderfanszmul]

THEE BEST!!!

[soccerguitarist]

I wouldn't call them THE best. I mean, you got Rush, The Guess Who, The Band...

[mrbill1000]

guess who... do they even have any of their original members left?

[cobysland]

awsome video i love the hip

[7flies4U]

single video available in my playlist ... !ké passo? well amazing song :D gotta get the lyrics and try to understand it for once ;p

[hackinman]

Hip @ Massey Hall WOO!! Front Row Seats Baby!

[jcobaltss2005]

2nd row see ya there

[MiddletownDreamz]

Great tune. Super video. The opening of the west.

[vartsniffer]

the HIP

[pocopilot]

C-A-N-A-D-A --> Kingston ontario to be exact!!!!

[vartsniffer]

FUCKIN A

[curly271981]

they were up to Fort McMurray a couple of summers ago, that is one thing you have to respect these guys for, they don't forget their roots and me being from Newfoundland gotta respect Gord wearing a Gros Morne hat :)

[crawfordal01]

the hip rocks i saw them when they came to pei!!! its cool that a band this big would come to the smallest province. well all of our concerts sell out but still sweet!

[BorisTheSpyder]

A line cuts through everything ffs ! north to south ..east to west.....we all want to think all songs are written for us all..and they are...but each song has a meaning and only one !..PEACE !

[RockDrummer72]

wow people seem to over analyzing this song! Just enjoy the music!!!!

[wovokanarchy]

The 100th at Brandon, Manitoba.

[masterhatch]

100th just west of yorkton .

[constipatedclown]

i love this song!!! this is an excellent road trip song lol:P

[MKSBEMA]

I guess all they needed for this video was to say: "..Dudes, all we need is 5 tickets to South Dakota, A big friggin' crane, a plastic donkey, ladder, pick up truck, and a whole bunch of weed and shit man, we got a video!"

[cimmeriantower]

This has nothing to do with South Dakota, it's a Canadian anthem.

[bigginskie]

The great plains, as in the prairies, in Canada. Nothing to do with South Dakota.

[werdorino]

then why does he mention "an american myth" at the beginning

[IanRoantree]

Well you'd have to remember that America isn't just the USA. America is Canada, USA, Mexico and South American countries. The Hundreth Meridian goes through Canada to the united states, through Mexico.

[767fife]

america is the all of the americas

[edselca]

He says "debunk an american myth" the myth being that canada is a tiny country.

[prk166]

The Great Plains are larger than just Canada.

[corymazz]

ahahahahha, I'm from Kingston where the Hip are from and Guaranteed that's what they said. You forgot the 5 40's of Crown Royal though...

[howtzerdog]

ahh high school memories.....

[moreilly857]

he said wheat standing shoulder high fucking cronic lol

[sweetmohawklady]

"WEED STANDING SHOULDER HIGH" love it, Keep this comment posted too, youtube you fuckers.

[FrequentlyFried]

as a kid growing up in southwestern Ontario during the 90's this group seems to represent Canada to me. I guess the only comparison I can think of would be what Bob Marley is to Jamaica.

"I like the Hip because they are a true rock band with great musicial talent with thought-provoking lyrics." well said

[dbennett4]

Thought provoking lyrics? They are designed to make no sense, how do they provoke thought?

[VoteOlegForJesus08]

have to disagree. they present imagery that helps dwell on specific metaphors

[cimmeriantower]

Who/where says they are designed to make no sense?

[vartsniffer]

fucking MORON

jesus christ....

[InsaneMojo]

yes

[14blont11]

wooot

[parkdale420]

WEED STANDING...SHOULDER HIIIIGH!!

[JsCrag88]

i agree....that was kewl

[NerdyCanadian]

he sings WEEDS you fucking crackhead.

WEED standing shoulder high would only occur in British Columbia, anyway.

[parkdale420]

Shaaadap..Ya GARBAGECANCOCKSUCKER!!

[NerdyCanadian]

Fuck you, eh? Go fucking smoke yourself into oblivion and remove yourself from the gene pool, you stupid, fucking, knuckle-dragging hominoid.

[parkdale420]

pichka ti materina...LOL

[NerdyCanadian]

That's not fucking English, nor is it Francais. Go take a loooooooooong walk off a really SHORT pier. I hope to fuck you don't live in Canada.

[parkdale420]

Born and raised in PARKDALE!! LOL Come on down...BITCH!! haha

[NerdyCanadian]

Parkdale where? Arizona? Pretty sure that's not American English, either. Judging by the "420" in your username, you're yet another dope smoking wastoid. So, go away subhuman.

[parkdale420]

Wow...you are quite the yankee-hater eh?LOL Parkdale is in Toronto dummy!!And at the beginning of your hate-filled rant were you not correcting me on weed?LOL American english?? Ask some Europeans about us Canadians they will prolly tell you we sound the same EH..LOL

[NerdyCanadian]

I'm not a dummy, there's probably a hundred Parkdales in the world, since I don't live in Ontario I'm not required to know every single fucking suburb there. If you had reading comprehension, you would have understood I was criticising you for not using English, French or Spanish and not denigrating Americans. I don't give a flying fuck what Europeans think we sound like, that's not even relevant. Gods, you're stupid.

[parkdale420]

aaaahhh g'wan ya goofy cunt!!LOL Parkdale is in downtown Toronto not a suburb.pichka ti materina is a Serbian term dum-dum!! I would guess you are from some suburb like Burnaby or Richmond.LOL Stop huffing nailpolish!! Seems to make you an angry little monkey.

[NerdyCanadian]

Who gives a shit about Serbia? Fuck Serbia and fuck you. And you're dead wrong, I live in Vancouver. Not a suburb of Vancouver. I'm probably a foot taller than you are, too. Stupid Euro trash fuckwit. Go back to Serbia and kill some more Croatians.

[robegill14]

The Tragically Practically Invented Their Sound. Everyone Must BOW DOWN To The Tragically Hip!

[Broomstyx]

I BOW TO NO MAN!

[buckmaster1989]

cuz ur a dyke

[Broomstyx]

yeah. I admite this as a fact. I like women alot.

[lesterclaypool1]

why ? i dont want to ;]

[Onlydreamin1959]

A previous poster claims that the Hip's songs make no sense on purpose. Think aboriginal, "Where the great plains begin." All their songs make sense. The literal denotation creates a thematic meaning when one sits down and thinks about it. And yes, they are awaesome and unique. I can't think of a Hip song that doesn't make literal sense.

[VoteOlegForJesus08]

totally agree. i find they try to paint a theme in order for you to see a certain thing in society a different way. like, in order to show a truth, they will give you a picture from a line of words that tries to show you something you've never seen in a certain light.

[pilate10]

What are the lyrics to the backing vocals on this song?

[buckmaster1989]

Shawn shwee....boose you shalla been though buss(8)

[doomfork]

The Tragically Hip unapologetically make no sense in their songs. Their songs are really just words and sounds that convey a thematic meaning more than a literal denotation. That's what makes them so awesome and unique.

[Onlydreamin1959]

But all their songs make sense if you listen to their lyrics. They are not just sounds and words. They write about events, history, and legends that are known to all. I'm not sure what you mean by the Hip conveying a thematic mraning more than a literal denotation. They are unabashadly literal. Think, "New Orleans Is Sinking." How much more literal can you get? "Blowing High Dogh?" or "Bobcaygeon"? You really haven't listened.

[VoteOlegForJesus08]

everyone pays so much attention to points in history they reaccount. they aren't necesarilly trying to teach you about a historic event. they just use it to paint a picture and use it often like a metaphor to something that explains a feeling or a view they (or gord mostly i find) have on the world.

[Onlydreamin1959]

But they are so literal to Canadians. Take "50 Mission Cap" for example. I doubt that anybody outside of North America would know what this song is about, and yet it is plain to see for Canadians. I guess this is why they're not so popular internationally. By the way, they've been slammed here for songs that have been too literal and stereotypical. As for myself, I adore them.

[Onlydreamin1959]

Your profile is so funny. You're doing okay for a middle-aged man from Uraguay. Everybody can dig it. And you're not middle-aged for the record.

[VoteOlegForJesus08]

lol. good job, not a lot of people get that joke. because its suppose to be making fun of how nobody ever puts real shit cause you just rush to make an account so you click random crap but everyone thinks im actually middle aged and from uruguay

[MYNHLNETWORK]

[MYNHLNETWORK]

i live in buffalo ny its coool =}

[ilikemilkdoyou]

Just ordinary guys doing amazing music. That's how it should be.

[plcorg]

A great song, performed by a great band, sadly not seen in the UK enough! Makes such a nice change from reality powered pop and shows if you've got talent you'll succeed!

[westholmes2001]

Being a Tragically Hip American fan, I agree that our media is so sensationalized. They do whatever it takes to scare people, whether be the war, laws, crime, even the weather! Even the music popular Americans listen to is a joke; emo-rock and thug rap dominate the airwaves, and real rock bands, like the Hip get shunned here because they aren't the trend or because their Canadian. I like the Hip because they are a true rock band with great musicial talent with thought-provoking lyrics.

[obscureluzername]

At least, they used to be a true rock band in the days that this song was put out but now they just suck. Poets? Music at Work? Please!

[tammydef]

The line is Me debunk an American Myth? And take my life in my hands? Not medebunk. And how is it that you were offended by a word that doesn't even exist sportsportsport???

[kerrm76303]

The hip made so much awesome music. How did they not catch on in the states.

[camboyda]

I know man!!... I think maybe they're too proud to accept them as a canadian band generally? probably a harsh thing to say on my part, but meh

[sportsportsport]

on your own

[KimberKenobi]

This song is awesome. Great car chase song ;oD (some of you know what I mean...)

[sonic69nl]

Great they put this on the tube. Never seen it before. It wasn't shown in the Netherlands. Almost a crime cause Hengelo is mentioned.

[suivoh]

What is Hengelo?

[sonic69nl]

Hengelo is a town in the Netherlands. Near Enschede were i live now. And close to Haaksbergen were I used to live. So now you now 3 more town in Holland appart from Amsterdam. The Hip played a famous concert in the Metropool a musicstage in Hengelo. The papars wrote the next day that the hip was a great band but they didn't understand why the singer was so stonded. They didn't know then that Gordon is on a natural high the minute he walks on stage.

[loveme2times72]

Oh, I thought he said "Antelope".

[sonic69nl]

Another great mistery revealed. I talked to a guy in Boston before a Hip concert who told us that a lot of canadians didn't know about Hengelo. I guess Holland started opening the door to europe for the Hip but they never got so big as in Canada of course. Don't matter to me i just love the music.

[21tom12]

One of the coolest Hip videos out there for sure..

[kubicam]

Thanks for all the new vids! As you can see I'm obsessed with watching this channel...
