The Folksmen - Corn Wine (from A Mighty Wind, HQ)

[LisaDawnn]

The cast of Christopher Guest (Castlerock) are beyond talented.

[tommyrock69]

"It says nanny here, but it should say nanny." Then look at Shearer's face.

[Scruggsism]

one of the best tracks of many,one,s in a hurry one takes time! feckin quality!

[spetznas37]

lmao! years later still just as funny! I agree it should have been in the movie.oh this song is available online:)

[kingkarma40]

iron law alan, nani before ninni

[givefreeusername]

kind of academic



[mrgr2mm]

Harry Shearer is pure gold in this movie. So is Guest, for that matter.

"But I don't sing this song anyway." ^_^

[xrockthe40ozx]

Stupid Folky Flanders.

[Thekingofdoubles]

and an ending to this song...

[BrantECasteel]

There is no 480p option for this video.

[smartalek1]

Oh, that's pretty

[enaksound]

Awesome tune!! Crazy how it's about life and a couple who meet, then have a long relationship until in old age the man lays dying. But then also about the incredible idea of combing corn, and wine!

[AbbeyRoad279]

"Just one thing in mind"...he goes into "Ned Flanders" voice...and when he talks in his low voice, it's more like Principle Skinner...so that's how I see it in my head...a duet between Ned Flanders and Principle Skinner...and I'll tell you, that is disturbing! :)

[macgyver1macgyver]

I agree with the bass player that it's definitely "nanny" before "ninny". Every folk musician knows this iron rule.

[illinformedgeek]

have you ever noticed how much harry shearer sounds like early leonard cohen 

[ahugefaggot]

"a man to treat her well" i like to imagine is the lyric they skip

[Garnish7]

@ahugefaggot close. it's "a man to wed her well" actually

[sweetbabyray1000]

I'm heading to my local music store right now to get a Feadog Irish whistle. Sounds Nice!

[welcometourf]

this is very nowtro

[MsMelinette]

it's kind of academic hahahahahahaha

[awesomepower21]

@eatmorenachos I couldnt agree more, the world lost a true talent when he passed. Neil you'll live forever in our hearts

[basehead617]

"gonna start singing pretty soon"... such a random thing to say, how did they not laugh at all during this?

[buttholeeddy]

I think I am officially obsessed with this movie.

[exitwest]

I really wish they had included this in the actual movie. The subtle tension between Michael and Chris's characters is hilarious and sets up the later scene when Alan is driving the car and Michael asks him if has the map.

[stove0809]

i want this whole song on my ipod lol.. any one know where i can get it?

[RRFBINH]

@stove0809 I wish I knew where to get this one from.... if you found it, let me know!

[stove0809]

@RRFBINH Hey.. i found it.. but i didnt buy it... but here is the amazon link.. to the digital download.. and the CD, that its from... if your a Simpsons fan, such as I... you may know this voice.. but here is the CD link. go to Amazon.com... and type in Songs Pointed And Pointless thats what the CD is called... hope this helps you out..

[PinkcoltheGIRL]

my favourite xx

[Fretkillr]

It's "nonny ninny nunny ninny nun oh". Jeez every folkie knows that! Pass the corn wine.

[jesusthroughmary]

What does Harry Shearer say at 0:27? "Yeah, I'll be here"?  LMAO!

[captainhowdy1011]

He says "Yeah, okay"

[jesusthroughmary]

Oh...

Thanks. :o)

[Frantziana]

"do it next time" (the harmony part)

[Mikeyondadrums]

@jesusthroughmary

He just says "yeah, ok"

[spetsnaz37]

this is such a good scene!! guest plays the confused part so well!!

[Paulgr]

someone should put up "do what the good book tells you too" by the new main street singers from the movie.

[phildirt3]

guest is so brillant they play it so straight

[dulcetpine]

haha, i love this..."iron law, nanny before ninny'

[dqsimon17]

How come no one has put up "Potato's in the Paddywagon"?

[jesusthroughmary]

Somebody has.

[Aaecus]

I'll never understand why they cut this. I guess they just didn't have the time.

[korgri]

The oddest thing about Mighty Wind is the fine line between the parody and reality. There was a journalist at the Spinal Tap junket in 1984 who thought it was a real band.

[Mikeyondadrums]

If you never knew, I could see how you could easily be mistaken. They're so damn talented.

[korgri]

Satirists who come to realize that there is no point in carrying on their satirical intent as they realize that no one seems to be discerning a tipping point where what they do is recognized as absurd or comedic.

[jesusthroughmary]

I don't think this is a sentence.

[lowcrust]

Why this is not in the movie will forever be a mystery to me. One of the best films of all time.

[upshaw26]

should have been on soundtrack

[mLuribe]

shady grove!

[Couscous43]

Wish they would've left this in the movie. Corny (no pun intended) or not, it's a good tune.

[About2Rain]

Nanny before Ninny, except after "C"!

ha ha ha

[hovanti]

"Nanny no, nanny ninny oh???"

[hyperbilly13]

these guys are hilarious

Michael Mckean Christopher Guest and Harry Shearear are brilliant song writers

[balidaplex]

have some more burgers.

[carolinajen]

If only everyone got their humor...Gotta love them whatever they do!!

[OldManAP]

This is just barely even satirical...

I know these guys meant it as satire, and I've seen the film and can appreciate the scene in context...

Nonetheless, the song works as a good ol' folk song on it's own merit, and they play the heck out of it.

Whether you like the music, the film, or you're just stumbling onto this, ya' gotta love it...

[smartalek1]

@OldManAP "ya' gotta love it..."

Unless, apparently, you're Roger Ebert.

He gave it a thumbs-down (!) on the basis that...

wait for it...

...it wasn't "edgy" enough, it didn't "go for the jugular."

Apparently, satire works only if it draws blood.

I've rarely been so disillusioned; I'd never before/since so disagreed w/ Ebert.

[kwagmyrefrontman]

@smartalek1

Who cares what Ebert thinks? He doesn' t see genius when it smacks him right in the face.

[misspopanoche]

Oh how I wish they would have put this on the album...

Thanks for uploading!

[h00sierdaddi]

The Folksmen were actually the first band to put the end of a song in the middle. There's probably reason they were the first but you have to hand it to them for that.

[mudkipzwhere]

There's a jazz song called "Some Skunk Funk" that has about 5 endings in the middle of it (depending on what version you get)

Pretty sure it's been out a lot longer than this too P:

But either way, this video is amazing.

[mntiburon]

If only the two could just combine, corn wine!

[grabastic]

Consider the corn....lol
