The Toadies - Possum Kingdom

[osolukky]

I think it is more like a grunge love song... just saying.

[GmanHL1]

61 people dont live in the possum kingdom

[bmiller1973e]

guess some music in the 90's wasn't so bad after all:)

[idontgivetwo]

@bmiller1973e I made an account just to thumbs that comment down.

[AnthonyLucianoMusic]

2000. Deal with it.

[TheStayMint]

I'd fuck that bass.. not the bass player. Just the bass.

[goldmember1217]

Hearing this for the first time in years, still know all the words. classic

[BigKCful]

All this time and I never knew there was a 50 year old on the drums and a dyke on the bass!...Great song anyway!

[pdfmcgarry]

@Davey647Returns What's a Jory Caron?

[colorinthemoon]

I'll not be a gentleman :)

[SirHammerHead888]

...And these guys get to tour and open up for the mighty Social D??!!! Seriously??!! And this is their #1 hit??!! Really??!! What a shitty stupid gay song!!! And an even shittier and stupider band name!! Please get a sudden case of pink-eye so you cancel and Social D can play a longer set!!

[MrUj6238]

@SirHammerHead888 they will blow your doors off live seriously

[colorinthemoon]

@SirHammerHead888 homo troll

[SirHammerHead888]

@colorinthemoon At least I'm not a Toadies fan...

[gidgetsurfer]

@SirHammerHead888 Dude DONT BE A DICK! I dont know if you are aware that the headliners do get a say in who opens for them on tour, and by criticizing the Toadies your criticizing your beloved Social Distortion. However both these bands are passed their prime and are still finding a way to make a living playing music and I think we can all agree that is pretty freakin awesome and beats my day job, how about yours?

[kmurphree83]

Rihanna? really? c'mon!!!

[kssork]

behind the boathouse, ill show you my darkest secret dumdum dumdum dumdum dumdum its the bass

[meelzonweelz69]

Why is it whenever I hear a song that I like like it turns out to be as old as I am?

[osolukky]

@meelzonweelz69 because you are awesome!!!



[hyde097]

@meelzonweelz69 because that was last time good music was made.

[testtador]

Great video!!!

[herb414]

FUCK THE PITBULL BS AD. I CAME HERE TO SEE TOADIES, BULLSHIT.

[BobbyBeavis]

hah. I used to love this song, and knew it was a bit twisted when this was new but now I can appreciate how much more twisted it is than I really realized at that time being a naive kid.

[Hilly2826]

This is amazingly disturbing and I love it so much.

[mochawitch]

DAMN i love this song. it sounds more like vampiric suduction to me .but i guess that's kinda murder huh...lol

[momoyaj]

i KNOW i'm a sadistic son-of-a-bitch but how can u NOT like the lyrics? surprisingly every chick i know adores this song about murder (and sex in my opinion)

[damocles943]

oh, all he wanted to do was make a nice ice sculpture :)

[chgray3rd]

do you wanna die? it's a Shakespearean reference. In many of Shakespeare's plays he is equating death to an orgasm. he's asking her if she wants to get off. it's gonna be her first time. he'll not be a gentleman. just my ignorant, high school drop out, uneducated opinion. hope this helps you enjoy the song. great tune from the early 90's

[L3AV3R2000]

@chgray3rd Is that why the music video has images of what appears to be a dead body wrapped in a black tarp being drug trough a river.

[jsickels3]

@chgray3rd err, "you'll stay as beautiful with dark hair and soft skin. forever. be my angel." because she'll be dead. "do you wanna die?" plus the whole dead body in a tarp kinda gives it away. i don't think every song requires deep Shakespearean psychoanalysis.

[MrChetwannabe]

@chgray3rd ya man i agree with you i always thought this song was about a guy taking a girls virginity from her... whatever thou songs mean what you want them to i guess

[superhacker35]

jory send me here :D

[Davey647Returns]

Curse you Jory Caron! Why did you bring me here?! >_<

[crazyxmarine]

just wanted to say, too that I LOVE the Toadies; had a garage band myself, but we totally sucked, never came close to what these clever kids did! Just wanted to add that if you were out of gas, couldn't afford Six Flags or Lake Possum Kingdom, there was a shitty reservoir near Wichita Falls called Lake Arrowhead; stank of rotting buffalo carp and the water was turd-brown, but caught some awesome crazy alligator gar there, and was always knee-deep in local pussy (beer, weed & Camaro)

[crazyxmarine]

ultrararebreed: fuck yeah! but don't have to hide them, bro, just dump them in the mud pits near any of a thousand oil wells, or just lay them out in a fallow wheat or cotton field for the coyotes, crows, opossums, and fire ants; down to bleached bones in a week!

[MrSartin22]

the drummer looks like henry rollins

[Lukeyourself]

Toadies + Fit For Rivals... 2 best bands ever.

[Dginn71]

ya'll wanna know what killed this band...they had one of their dad's playin drums :|

[xanjak]

I can promise you, I'll not be a gentleman ...

[ethylanne]

DO YOU WANNA DIE?!

[gromshit101]

Fucking masterpiece

[crazyxmarine]

fucking idiots, all of you; this crazyxmarine grew up in Wichita Falls, dad fixed planes at the AFB during the Vietnam War; '69-'79 we lived in this pathetic shithole of a city a decade, until the F-5 tornado of '79 tore the shit out of everything & we left ; none of you imbecilic cunts get this fantastic song! Lake Possum Kingdom is where you went to cool the fuck off & fuck! Fossils, fucking, drinking and swimming! Yeah!

[UltraRareBreed]

@crazyxmarine ...AND hide the bodies.

[SuperGfairy]

I love toadies, always have sense I was 17 back in 94, I just don't think the video represents the passion of the song and song itself, and definitely they should have considered vampires, maybe reading Ann Rice would have gave them a better idea, they unconsciously wrote a story of a vampire instead of a rapist, this people usually dont think about sweet angels if u ask me, and the lyrics stay beautiful with dark hair and soft skin forever, dark secret, my bride,my lover make up your mind .

[eliownsnoobs]

lead singer looks like stewie from Malcolm in the middle

[MargieMama]

Ahh, new lover, lots of fun. Married him : ) Miss that time!

[systemofachemicalnir]

DUDE FROM THE TOADIES HAS MY GUITAR!!!!!

[TheResident0001]

IF You Dig Toadies

Check Out Johnny Hoffman and The Residents

watch?v=UHeA6Oivmas

[johnpagecontraband]

these fukin adds do nuttin but slow down ma comp! im not guna buy any of this stupid bs. i dont go2 the movies, im not in2 pop culture, stop wastin ur time!!

[eternalpulse888]

@johnpagecontraband  I never see ads... Firefox, adblock plus, subscription to a filterlist , be a winner too!!!

[johnpagecontraband]

@eternalpulse888 Im about to!! Ihad 2 watch an add before i left this comment!!! haha wtf

[MargieMama]

@johnpagecontraband Get Ad Block, it is awesome.

[gidgetsurfer]

I love this song, except when I listen to the lyrics and then I feel like a serial killer....

[Nhoward2807]

@gidgetsurfer That's the best part



[MargieMama]

@gidgetsurfer Me too...and you have an awesome screen name.

[gidgetsurfer]

@MargieMama lol, why thank you! Gidget was my nickname in high school, and if you ever see the movie with Sandra Dee you will understand that that isn't really a good thing!

[sofagirrl]

@gidgetsurfer Thats the problem with this song.The melody rocks but the lyrics bring it down.

[gidgetsurfer]

@sofagirrl so true!

[damocles943]

@gidgetsurfer that might have been the intent.

[gidgetsurfer]

@damocles943 I realize that, I love this song, but then I was really into Buffy. I always kinda thought about it like Dracula's bride.

[damocles943]

@gidgetsurfer a lot of people think this song is about vampires. the song is obviously about a killer, but you weren't the only one.

[TheLobsterReview]

@gidgetsurfer its the beauty of the toadies

[DeathViaTar]

Is it just me, or do The Toadies and Radiohead have a hell of a lot in common?

[reeceJyoung]

@DeathViaTar yeah, the main difference is that toadies is good though

[JasonL77]

For some strange reason, I still remember that this was the song that was playing the first time I ever went to a strip club. While that wasn't the last time I ever walked into a strip club, I never became one of those guys who spends alot of time in strip clubs, so I have no idea why I still remember that.

[shane809887]

I've been looking for this song forfuckingever!!!

[tkkalverm]

Of course, this is part of my prized 90's mix on my iPod. It makes me think back to a day when I had passion for life.

[rokincaid]

@tkkalverm Before the life crushing reality that is adult-hood? I'm right there with you.

[Nhoward2807]

@tkkalverm There are those of us who were just babies in the mid-90s that know this music can never be topped. I was 5 years old when this come out, but I'm madly in love with this era. My children will know no different.

[culturaleyes]

can't believe this vid is almost 20 years old!!!

[MegaCrasher3000]

The music has that great Pixies vibe to it, the singer seems slightly deranged and creepy, and they write songs about murder -- that's a winning formula, if you ask me!

[rawr311]

first song i ever heard by toadies ^_^

[gillmengreen]

SUCH A TIMELESS AWESOME SONG

[Saltyoven]

it's totally a band of misfits.

Like the lady bassist who is not skinny and has a lesbian haircut and a drummer who looks like he's middle aged, and the other guitarist who looks like someone who doesn't wash his hair, and doesn't belong in a band, and the lead man who kinda reminds me of a rat. I kinda like it. haha.

[sexpistol455]

Tits

[damiendarksun]

Ted Bundies favorite song!

[Pflanz2891]

Thumbs up if you think this song and far behind by candlebox are the 2 most underrated songs of the 90's

[bvee10]

@Pflanz2891 Far Behind was a great song, but I think it received it's due, I don't think it was underrated at all, it put Candlebox on the map at the time.

[SavewithTerri]

My husband and I were lucky enough to be chosen to hang out with Candlebox at a concert we went to. Everyone was super nice except the drummer. Big buzz kill.

[sexpistol455]

:D

[2bonthewater]

saw these guys/chickie in hawaii...........afterdark? not sure.......they killed it

[pandagirl98520]

is it weird that my bf wants to have sex to this song? lol just curious :P

[crazzyhunt]

@pandagirl98520 You're boyfriend is a badass, give him what he wants hun ;)

[pandagirl98520]

@crazzyhunt

he is a badass <3

[SWbro94]

how old is the drummer in this vid? 50?

[crazzyhunt]

@SWbro94 Well he's like 70 now bro

[Kylef7735]

@SWbro94 Whats wrong that? Phil X is 45 and the wildest most kick butt best guitarist alive.

[SacredSocietyAP]

@SWbro94 You noticed the drummers grey hair but not that the bass player looks like a dyke in a hockey jersey??

[trentholt]

@SWbro94 shows you must be some young punk

[SWbro94]

@trentholt not at all man, I've been rocking out to 90s rock and especially this song since it came out. I was just tryin to make a joke but I guess humor is lost on some people.

[TravTrav19081998]

@SWbro94 He can still kick ass on the drums though

[Z28Ruiner]

@SWbro94 Why does it matter? good tunes. Age is a crutch little one.

[SWbro94]

@Z28Ruiner Ah man, I didn't mean it in a negative way. I fuckin love toadies, it's just always a thing about this band/video that I thought was kinda funny, ever since i was 13 rocking out to this video, man.

[SWbro94]

heard this song when I was 13, been rockin out to it ever since. 90s for life.

[sloshvictim]

I forgot how good of a tune this is...catchy as hell!!! I now feel the need to jump up and down repeatedly. Time to hit replay.

[Ib2stone]

Can't wait to hear them play with Fifty Dollar Dynasty!!!

[legian12181997]

hell yea i was at this concert sunken gardens with bush an hum dam miss the 90s

[trishsdelish]

God I really miss the 90's.... the music...even the weird clothes.... :(

[Slomoshun09]

Most overrated band in history. This isnt' an exaggeration people..WAKE THE FUCK UP!

[R716460d]

@Slomoshun09 how do you figure that? This band was a great mainstream band in the 90's. Are you even from that era? If you are, you must have been listening to the spice girls. SORRY

[Slomoshun09]

@R716460d I was born in the 80's , Loved the 80's rock, raised in the 90's era and hated almost everything after the 2000's...soo shut the fuck up and don't fucking argue with me..

[R716460d]

@Slomoshun09 I dont blame you for hating everything in the 2000's but you might want to get out of your little box. There is so much more than 80's rock

[lordcmrlas]

@Slomoshun09 hahaha what are you blabbing about

[HeadShotOwnage]

That fat woman in the hockey Jersey is jamming.

[trentholt]

you know, the first time watching this video, I said to myself, "man, those dudes are a bunch of dorks." Then it dawned, ah ha! they really r a bunch of toadies.

[megamonstercupcake]

hey where did the toadies come from... the water

hahahahaha *slaps knee*

[pizss1]

iftouve made up your mind then dont listen to it you gayblade.I hate lady GaGa hence forthe IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII dont you tube her Vids faggot

[Daisy8647]

i already made up my mind..this sucks

[6MidnightToker6]

i made the mistake of dedicating this to a ex, still cant kill this song for me at all tho. ahhhh the fucking 90s i miss ur sweet sweet ass

[statik3313]

@6MidnightToker6

i made that mistake with "Meet Virginia" awhile back, man does it take me back to a simpler time tho

[fronombulax]

@6MidnightToker6 dude pretty sure this song is about raping and/or killing a chick so... shit might be appropriate

[shotofighter4]

@fronombulax It's about turning her into a vampire.

[alexells86]

@shotofighter4 Truth.

[Shortkut6]

@6MidnightToker6 Gawd they just ruin music

[treeehugginhippie]

wow, the part "DO YOU WANNA DIE?!?!" came on when I was home alone. honestly... I've never felt so free... then the question was lingering in my head... do I wanna die?

[skwerpeinsrcool69]

love it.

[rickey52007]

this was the jam back in the day.. 1995 baby .. cant beat it !! :]

[izapet]

I remember getting excited when this video would play on MTV

[MusicalRelease]

DO YOU WANNA DIE!?!?!?

[blasphemer1981]

Rape?? LOL try necrophelia.

[6e4a6]

humm, apparently, for whatever reason songs that talk about death and jesus at the same time make me horny. cool ...

[Z28Ruiner]

rape song or eloping music, hmmmm. Only the duct tape will know for sure.

[Chardeemacdennis]

@Z28Ruiner i think the song is about vampires, not rape

[miquelp1]

@Chardeemacdennis its rape, not "vampires" just plan old rape. and murder

[biofluxxx]

I love that E7 - Asus4 riff. It's bitter like an IPA.

[SPORTSNUTIM]

I didn't know that great of sound could come out of a guitar.

[skrud151]

Fook

[puffsplus100]

yes it is weird

[GreenChemicalBoy]

WAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZUUUUUUUUU­UUUUP?!?!?!?!?

[tagstudios1]

@triskut i think all soundgarden, nirvana, pearl jam, bush all of them are all grunge and comparable, but that Nirvana and Pearl Jam started the genre

[wolfedude17]

got this song stuck in my head at school

[SPORTSNUTIM]

Very underrated song!

[joanzin68]

yep



[Sublimenate94]

Does it really matter what's "grunge" and what's not?

It's a kick ass, crunchy fucking jam! can't we just enjoy that?

[MichiganPatriot]

What would you call this? A 15/4 time signature?

[waxman1999]

my brother passed out during this son

[mebbitt1]

Back in the days, before the Twilight saga, I thought this song was about a guy wanting to turn some girl into a vampire.

[bobano10011]

Is it just me, or does the lead singers face look like Daniel Tosh's in some places?

[brutuspac1]

is that chaz bono on bass.

[amandarose611]

I want this song to play at my wedding. Is that weird?

[audiosnag]

@amandarose611 Hells no. If wanting this song at your wedding is wrong then I don't wanna be right.

[izapet]

@amandarose611 do it

[skimberly2233]

@amandarose611 awesome idea!!

[Artemis300]

@amandarose611 Nope. This was mine and my significant other's song and we said if we ever got married, we'd play this.

[6MidnightToker6]

@amandarose611 not at all, i personaly think thats an amazing choice!!! Its suits perfectly lyric wise. i like the way u think.

[4201rwsj]

@amandarose611 a little yes



[durmiendo]

@amandarose611 it's weird after watching the video and seeing what he's talking about!

[envisionluke]

@amandarose611 Nah we played Closer by NIN. So this ones ...Aaalright! ;)

[trentholt]

man, that dude looks like the boy of that banjo boy

[MKOtori]

i use this song to serenade women

[bubbajane123123]

Awsome song!

[coeruleo]

rubberneck is in my top 5 albums of all time i think. can't believe they did THIS then broke up.

[SPORTSNUTIM]

Under rated song and video.

[Twistednerver]

The riff is killer...and that bass line....nioce! I forgot about this song. It was definitely one of the best jams of the 90s. Takes me back...damn musta been like 8 or 9.

[OtherRaptor]

I STILL think this song has one of the best bridges ever written

[molotov001]

Whoa, a Fort Worth Fire jersey. Never thought I'd see one of those again.

[GOMIESYOHOMIE]

the 90s, when "alternative" still rocked.

[thedangernation]

What happened to good grunge music? All we have today is synthnoise and autotuned crap..The 90's were truly the last decent decade of music

[rockers319]

@thedangernation Yeah it does suck. Everything is autotuned now a days :/

But this is also synthesized and autotuned. Just not as bad.

[elixiriszog]

@rockers319 Lol. Synthesized and autotuned? I have some bad news for you. This song predates autotune by several years. Yes, compression and various effects have been around forever to improve sound, but autotune? No. It's not.

[DoogesR1]

@elixiriszog Autotune was out before this song you fuckin moron

[guitarxguy]

Are you THREATNING ME!! I will NEVER DIE!! hehmhmhe

[foodboy179]

why cant I skip Romney

[eljesuso]

This freaking song is timeless! AW, YEAH!

[dean31384]

MUSIC. justin beaver you are doing it wrong. but you are still a nice lady.

[jfkbaby]

best summer of my life around the lake tonight

[killosopher]

I had no idea this song was this old

[peckerwood22]

@killosopher damnit man thanks for making me feel old lol

[killosopher]

@peckerwood22 believe me i know. Getting older kinda sucks
