[oakyngw]

Aw... you're just mad because you thought you were going to see girls in bikinis.

I am from an island, actually. My dad made it in our back yard pond. He made me live there for ten years because I broke his lawnmower. Houston, Samoa... is that like Paris, Texas?

[SAMOANislanderBABE]

This is boring!

Are you even from the islands?

This sucks big time.

[loveyaaZ]

everyone s entitled to their own opinions , and i agree with everyone that IT IS A PIECE OF SHIT SONG ! XD

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

You are correct. And your level of insight into all things musical is made keenly apparent by your precise and cutting commentary. I think you should apply for a position at Rolling Stones magazine. BTW - I visited your channel and discovered that you do not exist. I'm sure if you ever do upload a video it will have SOMETHING to do with a pitbull.

crappy song

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Actually, it is a very good song. I asked 100 people on the street, and they concure... it is a good song. I'm not sure where you are getting your information, but it must be wrong. Did you ask anyone else who was with you at the moment; your dog, perhaps? My parakeet and wombat both said it was a good song, too. With all this evidence to the contrary, I ask you to reconsider your erroneous conclusion. Maybe you meant you thought it was a song about the fish called "crappy". If so, wrong again!

ROFL!! hahahaharhahar.. omg.. my belly hurts.

THE best reply ever, after Church Of Dave's video response to another negative person. hahaha rofl. brilliant.

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

If you think this is funny... go look at my Optical Illusion video, then read my responses to all the commentators (those which deserved to be sliced up). It's pretty funny stuff!

[monst4h]

I dont like it, but hey.

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

If everybody liked it I might be accused of practicing mind control. Thank you for busting THAT myth about me (hee hee).

[repaikie]

whichway

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

That-a-way!

[KrisShred]

Great song. I like the Eastern touch about it.

Kris

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Hello Kris! Yeah, I love world music and look for ways to inject "flavor" into many of my recordings. Just the hint of an ethnic instrument can add so much feel to a song. Thanks for stopping by! ~Jon

[smileykai77]

I concur!

[fanoguitar]

Now that is original. Like something Brian Wilson would do.  Good job!

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Thank you, Sir!

[WRITERCAB]

I like it, nice video, great song!!

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Thank you so much, Writercab. I appreciate the listen and comment!

[Noradne]

Wow Jon, this is amazing! I feel so warm and comfty now :) (and here it is around -4°C) And I have the urge need to sing along :)

While hearing it again and again I feel more and more enchanted by it.

Really great work!

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Your comments always make me smile, Jess! I'm glad I could warm your snowy clime a bit with tropical breezes. Thank you and Merry Christmas! ~Jon

[telday]

I seem to recall you commenting that you were going to post some of your more experimental songs. If this is an example, then please post more. Loved it, 5 stars!

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

This was more inspirational than experimental, but I did take liberties in both areas. The structure is simplistic, just three repetitious phrases, but the orchestration (buried in the mono mix) was quite fun. It is very difficult rhyming "Girl" and "Boy" so many times and still making contextual sense! You'd think there would be more words in English to satisfy such a hackneyed set. Thanks, Telday!

[KokoKaina]

Jon... ... ... WOW. As you can tell, i am absolutely speechless. This song is the story of my life. I love the atmosphere you've added to it, as well. My words are not worthy, Jon. Just... wow. 5 stars (i'll come back tomorrow and rate again) and fave'd. =)

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Inspiration can come from the most unusual of places, even YT itself. I'm quite adept at reading between the lines; perhaps even fabricating between the lines! Remember; one part inspiration, ten, persperation - I think that was Edison. Glad to have touched a nerve, in a good way, I hope. Thank you, Koko!

[genealogyy]

Hearts and souls in tune..

Hi Jon! you've done another beautiful song.BRAVO!!!

Have a good day my friend. Eric

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

First to comment! Thank you Eric. Yeah, the miles seem meaningless here on YouTube, huh?

[genealogyy]

Yes, you're right! so good experiences trough YT's way.. like your family is all around the world.

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Yes... it feels like a big family of musicians & friends! I've met so many great people from all around the planet.
