"Don't Box Me In" Stan Ridgway & Stewart Copeland

[berserk2012xxx]

no hay punto de comparación entre lo buena q es la peli, y este soundtrack...

[witchman67]

great movie.

look also for tom waits, tracey walter, and lawrence fishburne in small parts.

[gdub454]

this song is the epitome of cool...."and if sometimes i cant seems to talk...u know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk"...what?...living in the abstract..

[KristinSuzanne]

this tune Rocks! it has a little bit if everything, reggae, rock, blues...eclectic like movie...went perfect together

[CurtisMateer]

Funny that in it's own unusual way this is every bit as good as many of The Police's biggest songs,

[mikper7]

This song totally reminds me of getting me teeth pulled before I got braces in the Fall of '83. I was doped up on nitrous and bleeding profusley the first time I heard it, somehow this song fit the situation perfect.

[harvey1954]

Hooky, but quirky too. Really well done piece of work, like a new wave outtakes from the 3 penny opera.

[Hemlock2323]

Stan Ridgeway + Stuart Copeland = Fucking Awesome!

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

Surprisingly, this cool song did not chart anywhere in the world (U.S., U.K., you name it) in early 1984.

[thegoatnazi]

16 Dislikes go choke on shit

[CommanderMeaty]

Danny brung me there

[pjpoppinfresh]

I want more from these two...

[TheTwilightalehouse]

16 people were boxed in...or should be

[TheTwilightalehouse]

There'll be a time when i wont remember what i was afraid of

[TheTwilightalehouse]

What a fukin track

[kreutzerricky]

voce spettacolosa

[CountessRi]

I've loved this song from the very first time I heard it at 10 years old. I just knew it was special. Now as an adult... it is my theme song. It's complex and simple, just like life.

Tattoo down my back: and if sometimes I can't seem to talk... you'll know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk.

[hdtvcamera1]

Lyrics done with thought and complexiity made this a great song on many levels. So much more skill went into producing this music than the garbage that is being shoveled on us today.

[rangertech1]

This song has its own DNA and breathes. Stan Ridgway creative genius of the blue collar world. Happy Labor Day!

[serekithegreat]

S.E. Hinton rules, so does Stewart Copeland. Diane Lane was everyboy's dream back then. I always wondered what happened to Rusty James in Hinton's story after Motorcycle Boy died and he took off. Wow.

[crozwayne]

oh diane lane, what a perfect example of woman! abso' gorgeous! fantastic track and film as well!

[trukketrukke1]

film capolavoro e grande colonna sonora

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

The shots of Stewart on the upright bass throw me off somewhat because this video (and the soundtrack and movie itself) was released the same year as The Police's "Every Breath You Take."

Remember in that video the shots of Sting on the upright bass?

[Malocosa]

I wish Stan and Stewart had done more collaborations

[year72011]

and if sometimes i cant seem to talk, you'l know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk, . Lets see modern day artists write this stuff? NOT

[captmclain]

It was a great film and superior soundtrack. Awesome cast. Great companion to the Outsiders. Stewart Copeland is a genius and one of the top drummers in history. Stan Ridgway is extremely under-appreciated. I got to see him do an Acoustic show in Austin a few years ago and it was greatness.

[chotwaller]

derivative

[Wildcock23]

I want to know who the 13 dinks are that "disliked" this so I can box them in...

[mewdeeone]

@Wildcock23 I'll loan you some packing tape.

[amyath]

Video played by Weird Al on AL-TV that aired 4-1-84. One of his favorites. This is when they broke in and announced that Marvin Gaye was shot by his own Father. Of course this was taped in advance of the shooting. Never will forget it.

[amyath]

@amyath On MTV.

[alearda]

Fantastic.....

[alearda]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alearda]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[erosromeo]

wish Copeland + Ridgeway did more collaborations... such a powerful and creative music force

[TheTwilightalehouse]

the 13 who clicked dislike i will kill....for fun

[krelbar]

...the poster forgot to mention Christopher Penn

[DownTown320]

one of my Favorite Flicks Back in Dayz! The Music Still Kiicks ass!

[BAMAVADER]

Great song..

[CurtisMateer]

Nice to see the best Tom in alternative rock in this video.

[dot4design]

Fabulous song, long live stewart Copeland and stan Ridgeway....MORE FANTASTIC ´80´s music at my channel!!! Take a look....

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Stewart Copeland = my favorite drummer.

Subjective choice for sure...but I loved Stewart spilling his guts and banging away on the drum set!

[hamjamnspamalot2]

13 people are blackboards lacking pieces of chalk....

[BradBrassman]

Where's Rusty James?

Im Here

Not for long punk

[melomane2010]

Always loved Stewart's work here - and in fact the entire soundtrack he wrote for Rumblefish is amazing - Stewart won the post-Police battle of the best first solo album, with Andy's album with Robert Fripp a close second, and Sting's coming in a distant third.

[DanaVanHeerden]

Absolute genius. Ridgeway is one of a kind and still going.

[CapriciousCapricrn]

Love that angry drum.

[discodancer22]

this kinda sucks. like the hermonica in the background doesnt fit in the song at all. and yeah the dude sounds pretty crappy

[TheTwilightalehouse]

@discodancer22 Errrrr Fuck off

[wayupinya1]

@djkenry Shut your cunt. Now.

[BettinaBalser]

And to think, people actually believe that Sting was the genius in The Police.

[gdub454]

This song is the frikn EPITOME OF COOL.. quite poignant too when he says hes gonna jump into brand new skin....

[50GallonDrum]

Ha, good ol' Stu's playing the guitar LIKE A BOSS at 0:12

[clyde8her]

11 people truly suck.....

[cinnomonsinner]

shhh HARMONICA SOLO!

[tmbasser]

Love this song!

[eartant]

Wow ! Stuart playing drums/bass AND guitar. He was like the Dave Grohl of the 80's.

[pumaman1]

@eartant Grohl is one heck of a singer too tho...

[melomane2010]

Great soundtrack too . . . some of Stewart's best work.

[klistarf]

I love Stan Ridgway! A unique talent! Love Stewart Copeland, too! Amazing drummer - among his many talents... \m/  (:o)

[rudyprotrudy08]

This song reminds me of spooky 80's times. Piss stinking telephone boxes, scary dinner ladies, religious hymns in assembly, milk at school, no supermarkets, woodchip wallpaper (all over the house!) and slidinng down the bannister. Happy days!

[jzh094]

Rumble Fish and The Outsiders. Two movies I can watch over and over.

[morpheus1x]

Rumble Fish! and a shirley bassey'esque type of sound...

[actstuntcam]

Are those clips from "Rumble Fish"?

[xXviejas22Xx]

fuck the police, but this song is the shit, great movie

[milkyway229]

ska enabled

[jzh094]

@milkyway229 Original kinda ska yep. Then came bands like Real Big Fish, Catch 22, and so on. Bands like this were original ska bands. XD

[glassineheart]

@jzh094 if you think this is 'original ska' you're an idiot, please read the internets

[milkyway229]

I love this song! Happy 80s ;-)

[moderator67]

motorcycle boy reigns....

[YouMeandFresnoBob]

Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke - the very epitome of 80s cool. Those were great days.

[gdub454]

and even though i cant seem to talk..u know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk... cool abstract lyrics from Stan Stewart Copeland is an xtremely gifted drummer.. real tight and precise

[Tobylifehater]

Stuart Copeland and Stan Ridgeway met here in some kind of serendipitous melancholy that made symphony look lacking in movement. Fucking epic. A seriously good testimonial to our generation. (the late seventies, very early eighties kids who existed below the pop-corporate radar not because they chose to, but because the corporate machine was too stupid to catch on at that point.)

[cinnomonsinner]

fuckin awesome

[clyde8her]

What a combo...

[gkonschak]

Don't box me in.

[buckriley1]

actually forget TOM WAITS was in this video.

[ferrari934]

i gotta love stewart and this movie :)

[Kornknealious]

Anyone have "Don't drop the soap (for anyone else but me)" from Pecker?

[AliveSk8brds]

who played rusty'james???



[Komodoensis]

@AliveSk8brds - Matt Dillon.

[bicklevelvet]

Stunning and sublime just like the movie its from .

[gogolito]

When two great talents collide!!

[knee99ap]

ORSM.............

[Crokodyl]

I love dis Movie!!!! and this song is just, freak fre fre freakazoid!!!!!!!!!! hahaha dont box me in

[flyers22]

lowend....nope....that is Andy Summers on guitar

[mysurfaceorg]

Killer Track. 

[affiliatenation]

i feel a tug on the line... i wonder which end i will be on this time...

i will jump in a brand new skin... then you won't be able to BOX ME IN.

LOVE THIS TRACK.

[LandoftheShanks]

STAN RIDGWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[barramzer66]

incroyable stewart, j'adore cette chanson, le film est génial

[fluffydolly]

awesome book,song&movie!!!!!

[thoomolong]

This movie looks like it has all the Hollywood Rebels in it: Dennis Hopper, Jim Jarmusch, Mickey Rourke and Matt Dillon.

[Wildcock23]

@thoomolong Jim Jarmusch isn't in it...... I believe you mean Tom Waits

[LandoftheShanks]

@Wildcock23 tomwaits!!!!!!!!!

[theMacvarish]

I thought the film's only saving graces were Stan and Tom Waits.

Lost this years back, thanks for posting it.

[stuntman941]

Very Best film

[bluecarob]

I remember when i saw this movie. I enjoyed very much but i had a hard time getting over how dark it was. I guess it's a lot like life not knowing how things will

turn out. Great Song.

[PASJONAT51]

I nower konw that Ridgway & Copeland made a song! Is realy great

[gueuzeman]

Great tune, great soundtrack, i got it on vinyl a loooong time ago. Copeland is a genius, way more than a drummer.

.

[jennifersman]

@gueuzeman I still have my cassette copy, probably worn out by now, would love to find this on CD, it's an amazing album

[ogami1972]

@jennifersman good luck finding the album, but I have a decent mp3 of this track, if yer interested...

[witchman67]

Of all the S.E. Hinton books, I think that this was the best screen adaptation.

Cool song, too.

[cloack65]

tom waits the barman!

[Msumner316]

Back in the day this my favorite "pissed at the world" song. At lotta "I show them" in this. By the time the song had ended I had separated myself from all who doubted me.

[vulture3112]

I used to live this in New Jersey in the early 80´s before the nigga´s came in!!!!!!!!!!

[shellback963]

Diane Lane, Whoa what a beauty From Head to Toe. Too Gorgeous. Matt Dillon what a lucky SOB to be able to lock lips with her.

[jennifersman]

@shellback963 Diane is still a babe, she's in the MILF category now

[beefflavoredchicken]

@jennifersman you're goddamn right diane's a babe. she's practically one of the prettiest women in Hollywood

[goducks20101]

@beefflavoredchicken I agree, she's got the most beautiful legs, etc. If you can get a copy, watch "The Fabulous Stains"; her first film. She's good in it; Steve Jones, Mick Jones or Joe Strummer and Paul Cook are in it.

[SinCitizenGent]

Copeland was always my favorite drummer, Valhalla's drum kit. Also a fan of S.E. hinton, Stan, pretty much everyone the cast from the movie. And it just happens to capture my current shit mood.

[heru1966]

This is a fantastic tune....brilliantly written and delivered by Stan Ridgway....every word comes across so clear. Awesome drums from Mr. Copeland.

[Babyhowdy233]

@heru1966

I agree 100%!!! :D

[tow4dough]

those books were set in oklahoma. i lived there as a teenager reading them in the late 70's- great stuff

[ssm3141]

You're right. I think S.E, was from there too. I'm so ancient myself now, if it ain't hangin' out in the grocery store aisles or my kid's high school, I've darn near forgotten I used to remember stuff. I do remember that her books meant something to me too when I read them.

[Hunsruck]

DIANE LANE !! :-) WHoooo-hoooo

[adewolf]

A favorite movie of mine and a great soundtrack.

[icmequipment]

Also for you Stewart C. fans, he had a band called clarke kent, the drums were amazing of c ourse this was in the late seventies.

[jennifersman]

@icmequipment I remember that! I have the album he made as Klark Kent. His "Theme for Kinetic Ritual" was the theme music for that MTV music show called "The Cutting Edge"

[ChuckyTheGoat]

RiP, cHRIS Penn.

Also, Stewart Copeland is the man! I still remember him going crazy on his drum set for The Police.

[ssm3141]

I also love Stewart Copeland on the drums. Maybe it's because he looks alot like my first serious boyfriend. But also, think about how the Rumble Fish book, along with, That Was Then this Is Now, and The Outsiders were all written by a seventeen-year old girl in the mid-west calling herself S.E. Hinton. That freaked me out. Wow.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

@ssm3141

Thx, ssm! Didn't know that about SE Hinton!

[ssm3141]

Sure thing, Mr. Goat. In fact, SE appeared as a background extra in atleast one of these films. She was very non-descript looking. You'd see her on the street and never guess that she had that kind of fire and insight as a teenager. I wish I could remember which film it was, though. I was a film student at the time so I was pretty aware of who was who and what was what.

[Chameleon703]

@ssm3141 Thanks for the info. I thought S. E. Hinton was a man!!!

[ssm3141]

Oh, no problem! You're welcome. One just never knows who's got what creatively clickin' inside of them. The clicker for me is that she actually stopped writing soon afterwards. In fact, I don't think she had another thing published past the age of 21. I really did used to keep up with that kind of stuff pretty closely.

[jeffthewhore]

@Chameleon703  she was a hooker in rumblefish

[maureencora1]

Reminds me of some soundtracks to the Miami Vice T.V. show.

[ssm3141]

ChuckyTheGoat! Man! I mean, I saw this movie when it was released umpteen years back and, when I heard the first few notes of this, suddenly I could practically tell you what seat I sat in, what favorite pair of jeans I wore that night...Man, life IS a dawg-gone trip...Who even thinks about livin' long enough to have FLASHBACKS?! And I'm enjoying every minute of it!

[ChuckyTheGoat]

@ssm3141

Yes, sir. Different era. Very unusual movie. Long live Matt Dillon & Mickey Rourke!

[PsychedelicRoom]

original sound...feels like the melody could go anywhere, noir atmospherics, reggae influences, post punk ethos. a great collaboration!!!

[ssm3141]

Man, not heard this one on twenty-somethin' years! Just happened to think about it and here it is! Life IS a trip....

[ChuckyTheGoat]

@ssm3141 Right on! So damn good!

[HsHe77]

super!

[ShootToLuna]

I had no idea this song was in the movie, nothing like the book though, but still good. This just blows "The Outsiders" away.

[therealerf909]

Not sure why, but this reminds me of Spyro the Dragon. Hmm. OTHATSRIGHT

[ShootToLuna]

@therealerf909 Spyro is awesome :D

[LOSTPRATT63]

stan is the best,and its easy to see where the polices real tanlent came from.

[Amanicangel]

These two sound a lot like Devo, do they not?

[ulfthegoon]

Are we not men? Yes....sounds like that!

[mydryaz1]

..and behind the song, the first Matt Dillon appearance in a "big" movie.. In wich you can see Mickey Rourke with a human face..

[tarcarion]

The dissonant harmony of this song, haunting yet so melodic, makes this song one of a kind. Who said the only thing to come out of the 80's was Disco!

[jackhillty1]

stan

[decalcifies]

oh my god.. s.e hinton made me get into 80s movies like this.. correct me if im wrong about the time though. but man matt dillon was super sexy here

[Amanicangel]

You're correct. This was released in 1983

[decalcifies]

thanks. :)

[gridespider]

this video rocks. very hypnotic.

[vatchkleyden]

this song is truly one of a kind.

[EFODERFIX]

Un film epocale per me!!

A fondamental movie in my life!

[nonnasonica]

:clap::clap: :clap:

amazing movie+soundtrack

[enfuegofilms]

Great video. Great Song.  Stewart Copeland is the man.

[Atheistsmass]

Great movie.Both the book and film have awesome symbolism.Rourke and Dillon are

cute.I think S.E. Hinton did a cameo as a

hooker in this film and one as a nurse in

the Outsiders.

[beccagreen108]

OMG! Could S.C. BE More HOT?!!! He & S.R ARE 2 of THE HOTEST Men of the 80's and I've been 4 rows from each of them!!! Oh HOT DAMN they're SO Yummy!

[hoxvoxbox]

Copeland drummin' is an undescribable pleasure. Ridgway just rise the bar even more. GREAT soundtrack and great song.

[crashsite000]

This movie had a great cast

[FlashBeforeMyEyes120]

matt dillon was the biggest hunk. so cute.

[PanterA1984]

Anyone know the song that plays when the Motorcycle Boy and Rusty are on the bike near the end?

[solsurfer1]

Yes I believe it's called "Brothers On Wheels" and it's the coolest piece of music in the whole movie.

[PanterA1984]

Oh cool, I'm guessing it's on the soundtrack? I barely remember it, but I remember I found a reoccuring note/key/riff in the song amusing as TMB rode the bike carelessly. Cheers.

[PanterA1984]

Lol, I remember trying to find Brothers on Wheels weeks ago but couldn't find it. I saw the tracklisting of the soundtrack and guessed this song was the one I was lookin' for. Anyways, cheers for confirming my theory. I just need to find the song now!

[solsurfer1]

Yeah it's on the sound track but you can buy the individual track from Itunes or Amazon.

[HillDueceua]

@solsurfer1 "Brothers On Wheels" nearly moved me to tears the first time I listened to it

[badjaycl]

Geez I remember hearing this song about 20 years ago! Ridgway's voice kind of "cuts" through. Great song.

[MoonNymph775]

I LOVE RUMBLE FISH!!! :D

[WayOfTheWatervole]

great collaboration, shame they didn't form a band, would have been awesome.

[orlando0999]

BEST MOTORCYCLE BOY LINE IN THE MOVIE "you know STEVEN, even the most primitive society has its respect for the criminaly insane"...

[Marqeteer]

Thanks for posting this!  A classic that not many people know about.

[solimiansky]

the motorcycle boy

[donbrujo]

TIMELESS!!

[yohppoy]

one of the best song ever.

10/10

thanks

[LaPipaDeMarcos01]

amazing soundtrack for the greatest movie of all time

[GreaserGirl01]

i love this song!! the harmonica at the end so cool and stan does have an awesome voice!! it goes great with rumble fish!!

[EarthMovesAgain]

Stan had the coolest voice ever. Great song.

[sinner48]

great song nice one

[rmsolympic1]

I would like it even more if it were instrumental.

[kealabeam]

I love this song. LOVE it.

[squidbedoe]

YES! This tune has Stewart's signature all over it. He's not the greatest composer, but he shined here. Very cool collab between him and Stan. Would love to know precisely what Stan's contribution was (besides probably lyrics).

[saanzacs]

Motorcycle Boy will live on forever!!!!!
