Cage the Elephant - Back Stabbin' Betty

[MegaAmazingBanana]

I'm listening to this song on the kitchen table and i can see my grandma dancing from the corner of my eye....

[AshleyJamguardy]

why did it took me so long to discover this band? IT'S AWESOME!

[olivia1910]

don't know why, but this song makes me angry (maybe because I think of that bitch he talks about, I'm imagining myself in John's shoes...)

Cage<3

[shoobeedoob0p]

@KantoreBaumerB14 Music evolves over time, do you expect music to be the same forever? You didn't even give an example of any good rap and R&B artists? Like any artists 50 Cent and Lil Wayne have their own styles of music; as Caged the Elephant has there own style of alternative music.

[edmundjc]

Cage the Elephant: More cowbell than the leading national bands.

[RiseOfPanda]

i downloaded this song and the second half of it was a 2 minute clip from the drunk tank.. hehheh rooster teeth podcast.

[SirTacoKenneth]

Does anyone think rolling stones when u hear this?

[lamborger]

Hey Betty, FUCK YOU! haha. This band is awesome.

[alozb2g]

i got a fever....

[assasin8431]

my favorite band by far,but not their best song........

[Tonyrockwalker]

I was listening to this song in class and i randomly started screaming:

YOURE A NO, GOOD, LAZY MOTHER FUCKER, GOTTA A SHIT JOB YOU WORTHLESS MOTHERFUCKER!

I got suspended

Yup, my teacher is a Lady Gaga fucker

[HYSM90s]

@Tonyrockwalker Think your making up things that aren't there. Might want to read your student handbook next time.

[8BitStranger]

@Tonyrockwalker Maybe the teacher loves Caged the Elephant, but doesn't love Cage the Elephant being screamed by a tone-deaf teenager while they're trying to teach a class.

[MissLauder8]

One of my favs!!!

[GABDILIVE]

favorite song of the album!

[manwhassup1]

Now that was refreshing! 🐘

[666qwerty1]

This reminds me of Bananas.

[TheJustDann]

can barely hear the lyrics over the music on most their songs </3

[KantorekBaumerB14]

not all rap is shit, lots of indie, rock whatever music is absolute shite but that doesnt make the whole genre crap. There are good rap artists out there, you just gotta look a bit harder than 50 cent and lil' wayne.

[clixby95]

@KantorekBaumerB14  eyedea ?

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@clixby95 I was thinking more like roots manuva, but yeah he's good too.

[BTHBcMinecraft]

@KantorekBaumerB14 this isnt rap

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@BTHBcMinecraft really? thanks for clearing that up for me.

[secretagentYTer]

@BTHBcMinecraft no but everyone talks shit about rap on rock videos

[secretagentYTer]

@KantorekBaumerB14 THANK YOU!!

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@secretagentYTer no problem, I'm sick to death of hearing people bitch about rap and decry the genre as a whole because they listened to one lil' wayne track. It's like sayinf all rock music is shit because of cliff richard.

[Seekerofshadowz]

@KantorekBaumerB14 like jump around

[LuvmyanimalZ]

@KantorekBaumerB14 Finally someone.That truly likes EVERYTHING and doesn't just say it. Kudos to a real music lover.

[pickleweazle141]

@KantorekBaumerB14 im sorry i will have to dissagree.. im not saying all indie/rock is amazing, but it definately has a higher amount ot talent. yes, it takes talent to write music, no matter the genre. but how many rap starts actualy write ther music? not alot. and i will admit the "chopping" (rapping realy fast) is amazingly talentfull. but TALKING rhymes into a mic takes no talent.. but in my conclusion 98% of rap is complete shit.

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@pickleweazle141 I'd say most non-mainstream rappers write their own lyrics. Please don't pull statistics out of your arse, in my opinion it take no talent to use the same old four chords and write a shitty indie-pop song, therefore I conclude that 98% of rap music is shit. It doesn't work. Writing the type of lyrics that people like roots manuva write takes quite a bit of talent and then being able to perform them with decent flow also takes talent.

[pickleweazle141]

@KantorekBaumerB14 ass, ass, you can say ass! jesus. im saying all of that out of opinion, exept the talent part.. this isnt a four-chord song, and cage the elephant is the only indie band i listen too.. i can listen to everything from dubstep to metalcore to hawiian. but seriously see no talent in Rap,Hip Hop, or country. and thats just where i stand.

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@pickleweazle141 you stand in stupidity then, not liking it is all well and good, but writing off anyone from those genres as talentless is stupid. Also it's arse where I'm from.

[pickleweazle141]

@KantorekBaumerB14 i find it ironic that your hating on me for my opinion, through your opinion. i never tried to change your opinion, and some people might consider talking into a microphone actual talent. i said "chopping" takes talent, and writing music does. I base my musical opinions on talent, thats why i respect so many genres besides country, rap, and hip hop, because they take little talent, and mainly dont write there own music. Your arguement is invalid.

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@pickleweazle141 I am not hating on you for opinion, not liking a genre is fine I couldn't give a shit if you like rap. Making broad generalisation about the talent of arists from those genres and whether or not they write their own songs is moronic.

[itachiroxs]

@pickleweazle141 Mr Pickleweazle, listen to Johnny Cash, The civil wars (country) And scroobious pip (rap)

[LordCHull]

@KantorekBaumerB14 I believe the law is 90% of everything is shit, but I still don't care for even the good rap just not my thing...neither is indie rock but damn I love Cage the Elephant

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@LordCHull I dont really care for the genres either, just find it stupid when people say "all rap is shit".

[Xandeth]

@KantorekBaumerB14 Here is a fix *They only play shit rap on the radio.

[MrPsychoAJK]

@KantorekBaumerB14 It's nice to see someone here who has a brain, especially when it comes to rap. Marshall Mathers is an example of a good rapper. He doesn't just rap about drugs, alcohol, money, women, and murder like these modern assholes. I'm not saying Marshall has never rapped about these things, but he puts a lot of emotion into his songs, such as his song "Mockingbird". In my opinion, he is a great artist, not just a person who rhymes. But, Marshall is not the only good rapper out there.

[Gdick1193]

this song is awesome.

[risingpauler]

i love real hip hop... and cage

[Tarzipan58]

@lookleftdude i hav no problem with ppl who like more than one genre, its a good thing, shows ur open minded. but yh ok, if ur defending 'real' hip hop and rap then i guess it does make sense. and thats just how it is these days i guess, coz if theyve got the tech, theyre gonna use it!

now back to listening to cage's awesomeness...

[Tarzipan58]

i love that matt doesn't care if he offends ppl by swearing, he's sayin it anyway coz he wants to

[Tarzipan58]

i love this coz matt doesn't care if he offends ppl by swearing, he's sayin it anyway coz he wants to

[Tarzipan58]

@lookleftdude hardly any rock bands (that i kno anyway) use autotune. id say that pop singers and wannabes like rebecca black use autotune the most. and u make no sense sayin 'fuck mainstream' when ur defending rap and hip hop.

[lookleftdude]

@Tarzipan58 What? Try Immortal Technique, K-Rino, Diabolic, Da Circle, Canibus, Black Star, and lots more that are not mainstream rappers. And I didn't mean autotune specifically, I mean getting their voices modified to sound better by a computer, even their instruments these days. lol, alot of people seem to be pretty butt-hurt just because I was defending real hip hop and not that Lil-Wayne shit. So now it's a bad thing to like more than one genre? I'm such a loser for thinking that was good.

[whattheflunky]

Best song to listen to during a break up.

[zachman163]

i got dumped today and she left me for another guy after listening to this song i feel so much better fuck yeah

[tfoutfou123]

i've got a- big brain but im using it for nothing...

shitty job- i'm working at mcdonalds...

i got- no cash, feel sorry for my wallet...

i spend it all- cause im an alcoholic..

and i like thaaaáát

i would'nt fight that

i wanna hit tha bar...

story of my life...

[Codiisright]

@tfoutfou123 If it makes you feel any better, I think we should definitely be friends.

[danny101pm]

[CATHYMAI]

[Moment0Clarity]

They used to have a video from a concert in Leeds where Matt jumped down and slid in the mud, The song was not a well known one but it was great. I googled & searched but I can't find it :/ If anyone knows it and can let me know I'd appreciate it. thanks

[TemplarPyro]

[XSUTTON3X]

11 people are no good lazy mother fuckers..

[MsWickedOne315]

I have two of this band's CD's and I havent heard a song on either one of them that even comes close to rap music????????? Thats just the lead singers way of performing, He sounds like that on every song....... Dude got hooked on pills & smack at the age of 13, he kicked it a couple years back and I'm glad cuz I think this band is awsome....... In a wicked kinda way. (~.~)

[EliteInSkirt]

One of my favorite songs of all time.

[FreddieMcswaggness]

[eyebleednougat]

[ditchdakkon]

i would put cage the elephant in the same place as say.... kid rock, think about it, both styles include elements of rock/rap/country

dont deny cage's country side, you know your head their twang, and even slide in wicked

[thesocksfool]

Badass

[iSmOk3InS0Mnia]

So underrated, fucking amazing. Anyone who can say motherfucker like that deserves recognition.

[WooT885]

@iSmOk3InS0Mnia Deserves a friggin' MEDAL

[dhall1112]

[iizdaduke]

6 people... whatta bunch a no good lazy mother fuckers

[KimriProductions]

best band ever

[littlemissshawn]

raps only bad if all you seem to be able to rap about is girls, sex, and money....................other­wise its pretty good:D:D

[justhere4comment]

@littlemissshawn who doesn`t like sex tho?

[PiERCExTHExVEiLxl0VE]

Great song!!

[swimmeringable]

@captainofpineapples. I agree! But why does everyone argue about whether or not rap is good when we all just watched cage the elephant

[CAGETHAELEPHAWN]

Awesome? Yea. The shit? All the way.

[rmhd34]

Most rap sucks. Rappers are payed millions to TALK into a microphone to a beat they didn't even make.

[captainofpineapples]

@rmhd34 the only reason people like it is cause the tech. makes it sound alright

[RidleyPrime16]

@rmhd34 I think you may want to rethink the band you're defending here. Rap is a stylistic way of singing, it doesn't necessarily mean it's urban or hip hop and I don't just mean old school beastie boys. Some of the ways that Cage the Elephant sings their songs is still considering "rapping," despite the fact it's not labeled "rap music"

[artist1million]

@RidleyPrime16 he said that most rap sucks not all just most which is my opinion to but i can listen to some

[andrewburton12345678]

@rmhd34 You've clearly never heard of the Roots

[ceppard87]

@rmhd34 This is a pretty broad statement to make. There is PLENTY of good rap but just like rock, you can't judge the music as a whole for what you hear on the radio. No more QQ!!

[Mrsteisag2]

@ceppard87 fuck you

[Camohat100]

@rmhd34 this isnt rap...and you obvisiouly havent been listening to the write rap, go look up notorious B.I.G, the nwa, eminem and snoop doggie dogs old stuff, busta rymes, and george watsky ( a youtube) and you may change your mind :)

[zendayacolorful]

@Camohat100 right, not "write" and old school rap is good but new is whack which is what he is talking about.

[LentilsOverkill]

@Camohat100 That stuff tends to be crap. The lyrics are shit. The beats are shit. It requires little to no skill.

It's also insanely offensive and or stupid at times.

[Camohat100]

@LentilsOverkill rap takes no skill? biggie smalls and Eminem lyrics are shit? your a fucking idiot

[LentilsOverkill]

@Camohat100

Rap just takes a pen and paper and a beat. It takes actual talent and creativity to write a good melody; to get in a good bass line; to work out chords. It takes collaboration. All the rappers you list are dumbshit assholes that are/were completely full of themselves. Their lyrics are often poorly written in addition to being vulgar and sexist.

[Camohat100]

@LentilsOverkill then go write a rap. if you think they're shit, make a rap better than theirs. and making a good beat to rap to is harder than it sounds. and biggie smalls was a farther who went throw fucking hard times, 2pac was very intelligent and a Shakespearean actor, and george watsky is a nerdy white kid on youtube. dont talk when you dont know what the fuck your talking about.

[TheSaurusVideos]

@Camohat100 Shut the fuck up. Rock n roll is where it's at and always has been. Listen to muddy waters - manish boy now i insist.

[Camohat100]

@TheSaurusVideos so just because i like rap i cant also like rock, punk, metal, classical, pop, techno, country, bluegrass, grunge, and musical songs? go away you shallow mother fucker

[TheSaurusVideos]

@Camohat100 did I say that? No.

Rock n roll changes lives, pop music does not, i'll seeya later

[mrnicekevin]

@rmhd34 well rap comes from Rhythm And Poetry... maybe thats why its talking with a beat , just maybe

[TheMetallica7x]

@mrnicekevin Not the idiotic rap that idiots "sing" today

[xHowComeYouSuckx]

@rmhd34 Dude, not all Hip Hop is just talk, and I didn't know every lead singer in a band, sung, played the guitar, bass, drums, etc. Most vocalist in bands just do...vocals. Just like a rapper has his production team to make beats for him. Stop being ignorant and open your mind. Btw I listen to everything from Jay-Z to CTE to Bon Iver to Metallica, I have an open mind to music

[kaloko133]

@xHowComeYouSuckx country and jazz??

[rocketscience21]

@rmhd34 don't be a sore loser

[lookleftdude]

@rmhd34 Don't hate on Hip Hop, lol you couldn't get anywhere close to the skill people like K-Rino have. TALK into a microphone? Go ahead and try it. Fuck mainstream, it's sad that you even use mainstream "rap" as your form of judgement on an entire genre. Most rock bands these days get paid millions to "sing" into a microphone to get their voice modified by a computer and to dress up and look pretty. Fuck that. Mainstream sucks in all genres of music.

[MrAustyn88]

@lookleftdude Are you mental?

[FreshPieProductions]

@lookleftdude grow some.

[dombaglivo]

@lookleftdude Oh, you hate mainstream stuff. Cool your a hipster douche.

[lookleftdude]

@dombaglivo If it makes me a hipster douche to hate pointless music about "bitches and hoes" than fuck yeah, I'm the most hipstering douche there ever was.

[lookleftdude]

@dombaglivo Nice channel about dogs and vacuums by the way.

[Kylemathews1]

@rmhd34 you start a flame war lol

[okcschills]

Cpoust799. U r so dumb rap sucks. No one likes it. This stuff is where its at

[MrBrantack]

@okcschills your dumb, majority of people like rap, keep your opinion to yourself if your gonna be so naive

[lalarrubia321]

@okcschills rap is good too. you just don't like it as much. it still takes skill to make lyrics for rap. not all rap is good just like not all rock isn't good. just gotta split it down the middle both ways. some people just aren't gonna like cage the elephant. no reason to get bent out of shape

[MUSICfan431]

AMAZING bass!!!

[katielindprice]

Does anyone else think the beginning of this song has the beat of hot legs by rod stewart???

[holypurpletacos390]

I LOVE CAGE THE ELEPHANT<3

[ninjasrock123]

This song sounds like Bob Dylan, but way way way way way better

[Mistercyncality]

@itbaaron not sure if you're implying anyone who listens to rap is a retard but sounds that way and to be honest i listen to rap and Cage the Elephant so...

[911problemchild]

[ImakeUtap1]

Here in the real world we love our worthless motherfuckers.

[skrudumra]

cpoust799, are you serious? You think this sounds gay? Wow... You must have some serious social problems. Do you find yourself wanting to hurt defenseless animals too?

[cpoust799]

Probably the gayest shit I've ever heard. Be a real man and listen to rap pussies and quit shoving the drum sticks up your ass.

[Kurfan26]

@cpoust799 What kind of job do you have again? And how is the family of yours? Who is the real man and the pussy now?

[captinmunchie]

@cpoust799 TROLL

[MsHeatheriscool]

@cpoust799 Trololololololo. 

[TheCaptainBro]

@cpoust799 likes to like grape jelly off of his transvestite cell mate's asshole.

[XxFOXHOUND1OOxX]

@cpoust799 oh yeah Retards Attempting Poetry is cool

[LucaFur]

@cpoust799

Hey, just because you suck too much to play an instrument doesn't mean you should rag on people who are better at it than you.

[itbaaron]

@cpoust799 maybe your def and retarded,cage the elephant is one of the best selling rock artists, so suck on that you RAPtard

[TheLordOfDiablo]

@cpoust799 Successful troll is successful

[iPwned123]

@cpoust799 trolololololol

[FreshPieProductions]
