John Prine and Iris DeMent - In Spite of Ourselves

[a420moms]

So refreshing, cannot listen to this song without smiling...if you don't get it well that's your problem!!

[bevisponcho]

Well the answer to the nay-sayers, need not an answer.. Probably beat their wives.

[bjones1123]

I bet you anything that the guy going by nerdgasmftw who wrote, "A friend suggested that I listen to this song. He is no longer my friend." is a gay man. He has obviously never been in a long term male/female relationship.

[meadecoredneck]

this is a real song,maybe not all the words ,but telling the truth about a married couple,thats knows how to live

[look4hiram]

Iris looks even sexier in this with the red hair - such a "plain and simple" girl that steals your heart away!

[smwrbd]

@look4hiram  No girls are simple...

[look4hiram]

@smwrbd Yes, she is "a simple girl" and that is spoken as a compliment. In fact, it's a huge asset in her favor. Take some of these "Hollywood Hotties" out there, strip off the makeup and get a good look at them first thing in the morning - YUCK! Trust me, Iris would look precious in an "as is" state - she possesses that rare trait - natural beauty.

[bigemoney31]

What other movies was this song on?

[hayleyjeanxo]

this song is so funny...like.

[jstraw1963]

Is that Taylor Goldsmith from Dawes on guitar?

[EdSlare]

Haha at 4:12 that guitar player in the background is creepily staring down Iris. And he's still doing it at 4:23.

[TroyOi]

@EdSlare Can you think of anything better to be staring at?

[jamcrane3]

That bit about Billy Bob Thornton is too funny and you just know it's true.

[FARTYCREAM4U]

fruity

[Tandemfun10]

I'd like to sniff her undies too...

[tuckeradamcountry]

this song explains so many old-aged, long-time, couples

[ClinchValleySD40]

Two of my very favorite performers, I never get tired of hearing this

[RobertRuhi]

Living legends!

[vatti902]

always loved this song. so cool.....

[TREYOLDHIPPIE]

well maybe there is hope for me

[MrCharlieturtle]

I just love both of there voices...perfect to the song!

[wwwtexas713]

[YourMomsSTD]

Well done.

[darrenlove66]

my husband and me are still friends...It's comfortable to have another human to be comfortable with. WE ARE the big door prize.... Find your prize and stick with it.

[EdSlare]

Why exactly is "Jenny's Magic Nipples" a suggested video?

[tth20102010]

@EdSlare Ummmm...I think it's because JP had been working on alternative lyrics....."There won't be nuthin but Jenny's Magic Nipples dancin' in our eyes..."

[nerdgasmftw]

A friend suggested I listen to this song. He is no longer my friend.

[Mcphersongirl]

For the 66 people who put "dislike", then they must be just grumpy cause they "aint got laid in a month of sundays"

[MrSirDel]

@Mcphersongirl Ha ha ...You said a mouthful girl I'm from UK and I love Both John Prine and Iris Dement, they should be better known here, I'm spreading the word

[warb1100]

@Mcphersongirl caught him ounce and he was sniffing my unddies

[GmasterRED]

Found this by searching "spite" because I was feeling spiteful

I approve

[richdeveau24]

Going to see his show tonight here in Halifax, NS. Can't wait!

[VonHollan]

love all his work



[jmack619]

just seen john prine in moncton canada great show, nice to see him still "out there" lots of kids and younguns there appreciating his messages. ps remember the news and the politics is not the real us.

[mccurryburg]

how anyone cannot like this is just beyond me... and i hope, to hell, i never have to deal with one of 'em. they should have to wear signs so we can take evasive action

[emeraldisland100]

This has got to be one of the best songs I,ve heard. Great talent & great hunour. You gotta Love John Prine

[JayGatsbyOdysseus]

This is a real trip.

[jacmac127]

That's right, a national treasure...indeed.

[mercyangel1619]

Love this song

[madrmac]

one of thje best songs i've heard of him and iris dement

[lluviosomo]

I know there's a lot wrong about The U.S.A. but if there were more sensibilities here like John Prine it would then truly be the envy of people everywhere, . . . Thank You both John Prine & Iris DeMent.

[MrFlatroofer]

Brilliant.

[sueforsoftails]

Love this song.......LOL I keep playing it over and over......

[folksinger1959]

John Prine is so wonderful! I have listened to him for more than 30 years! He can pull you through every emotion that you can experience! Thank you!!

[oddartist11]

That was really nice!

[Cannychanta]

I´m a Brit who´s just discovered this bloke through a friend in the States and I´m flabbergasted. They´re the kind of lyrics I´d like to write. Iris is a delight too. I´m going to learn this and play it in the local Irish Pub at the next open session. The brass monkey also gets a mention in one of my songs about Christmas in Newcastle. Give it a listen and good luck with the accent.

[S6XTY9INE]

His hairstyle, lol.

[Tyee59]

daddy and them was awesome crack sme up I likes ketchup on my scrambled eggs

[1BHAFC1]

Happy Birthday John

[1BHAFC1]

Only John Prine could get Iris to sing about sniffing undies...

[4me2email]

Andy Griffith for his 'Dad' in the movie...great stuff!!

[SCroix1]

Love those lyrics!:)

[singerray1]

This great! What a songwriter! I've got to see the movie...

[Confederado1]

I've enjoyed John Prine for years but have never heard this one. Boy, Howdy! It brought a smile to my old worn out face and I had to go back for seconds. Thanks big time.

[73coolgirl]

I don't like this, I love this!

[SuperSpike68]

Like TVZ....John Prine is one of my favorites......superspike68

[faey06]

Gonna see him on Ottawa on the 22nd :)

[Arrow141]

My great-aunt and her husband danced to this at their wedding. It was her first marriage- she's 52. <3

[EmmyLuluful]

@Arrow141 Reading this listerally made me tear up. That's so precious(:

[JohnC5700]

John Prine. What a talent!

[heatmanable]

what a duo what a performer Mr Prine is , always my favorite

[TheGunnersmate]

This is my wifes,& mine theme song,19 years together & still in love,find the humor in life,it's a 1 way trip & there's no goin back,enjoy,friends.

[MrMoronsrus]

Great song, great duo, and what a wonderful movie.

[cherokeenjm]

Perfect in everyway

[letsif]

Perfect combo

[rippenkitten1]

I love "drinkin his beer like it's ox y gen"...and this has been my wedding song for the past two girls...giddyup number three....

[TheMoonunit13]

INCREDIBLE

[whotaughtyou]

BEACH PORN SILVER

CV PRESAUTIONS

[MrAjames641]

I love this song and video! It reminds me of Johnny Cash and June Carter! And they are both smiling at each other if you watch it close enough!

[Beefmouth]

I used to own the movie he was in with Billy Bob, It was called "Daddy & Them" as far as I can remember

[Fetucinee]

Geezus this should be a rollicking, cavorting show closer but the performance is so subdued it sucks the life out of ya. I mean, despite the racy lyrics Iris doesn't crack a smile or wink an eye throughout. C'mon, embrace the spirit of the song.

[jojo4rmdabronx]

@Fetucinee ya she does watch from 04:17

[TheMakemFolksinger]

brillant first time i have heard this song, cheers The Makem Folk Singer UK

[poker005]

Yup! Here in Texas..it was my wedding song!

[comaradella]

FANTAAASTIC DÚO !!!!

[GuyEmusic]

Great!

[MrDel1940]

Love that song, remids me of me and my honey

[MrBluesrules]

A Lovely tune. Very real, 'bout real people. 

[rolholth]

The best love song of all times. This is what its all about folks...

[Dedalus11973]

Absolutely love JP, Iris on the other hand has got a voice that takes some getting used to... :)

[marty1964fishingman]

What Movie is John Talking About ? Is It Sling Blade ? Or a different one?

[uncleben7]

@marty1964fishingman The name of the movie was "Daddy and Them"

[Revolution1117]

Outside of Prine's humor and wit, he is truly an American treasure and one of the most respected songwriters in the industry. One of the most "underrated" musicians (outside of the music world) EVER!

[Nfudecember2010]

Gjc I'm with you entirely!

[rushknotwoodenworks]

Awesome

[cameronkl7]

As I sit here I wonder how anyone can not like John Prine

[gjc82071]

@cameronkl7 Because a vast majority of people are........as far as music goes.......indoctrinated, brainwashed, culturally starved and musically ignorant. Music is just too beautiful and too great a gift to humanity, to be locked into just a few genres. I like "something" (I mean @ least even just 1 single song/piece), from practically every single genre. The possible exception being Neo-Nazi/White power, speed/death metal. I like everything from Classical to Jazz to Country to Rock to, etc.

[pnp522]

@gjc82071 What's wrong with Neo-Nazi/White power, speed/death metal? I mean just because it sounds like a bunch of 4 year olds banging on instruments with the amps set to 11. Whats not to like? All you need is a set of earmuffs like the terminal jockeys use at the airport while they direct the jets on the ground.

[gjc82071]

@pnp522 That gives me a great idea. They should enact legislation to make mandatory the paring of earmuffs (or BOSE sound cancellation headphones), with the sale of each Neo-Nazi/White power, speed/death metal CD! LOL. I am not saying it should be mandatory that people wear them while the music is playing, but at the very least, they should have the option of doing so. LOL. :o)

[marcelstjean]

@cameronkl7 john's the man.

[rusedorange]

@cameronkl7 Some people make it a point not to like anything.

[earlfishbigwater1]

one of the greatest story tellers in song!!!

[LESWILDBILL1]

mr.prine is one of the greatest songwriter singer, storytellers ever. his music is timeless, as all great songs are !

[LittleJimmySouthern]

I like listening to him talk about as well as listening to him sing. And I will never forget the Billy Bob Thornton quote..."Mmmmmh" And Iris Dement just makes everything she touches, better.

[genecorrado]

If you dont like this you dont know anything about American music. John Prine is a national treasure.

[ImTheCalvinator]

reminds me of my silley girl in Iowa. I love her and she loves me in spite of ourselfs

[LadyArtemis62]

my fave song of all time

[MsTy3355]

I didn't think I could listen to this song anymore because it use to be "our song" then one day with my new love I thought of this song and it was about him and me not you and me and I played it for him and he loved it. Just shows you do get over pain and loss it just takes time and time truly heals. I just want you to know I do forgive you and I forgive me. I am truly free and it is possible to love as if you have never been hurt.

[5foffmans]

Love it!

[stevetadworkz]

Music starts @ 1:21, but why not sit a spell and listen to the story?

[AGfans4ever]

lol

[taypar11]

If you haven't seen DADDY AND THEM, your missing a very good movie. Prine can act, too. Laura Dern steals the movie, however.

[dago6542]

its now 58 people that can go to hell

[fivethreeohydro]

This song is great! Lol

[cassmarass6991]

the 57 dislikes are ppl who just hate the world and suck

[napoleanscully]

Always loved this song...makes me smile every time.

[Zulamayz]

"Opie's step brother?!? Caught him once, and he was sniffin my undies..." I probably will never be able to wash that out...still, I LOVE all the yum-yum about Iris DeMent! you go, girl...

[nat4flick]

Too Dunn x

[punkadelikdude]

RIP Dunn

[neocant1]

Diddo- surprised at the views Have loved Prine for a long time... And now that I'm married for 8yrs and hear this song... I know why...

[SEXYPANTSFORD]

I'm pleasently surprised to see this song has done so many views! Love John Prine, I listened to him while I was a kid

[DarkJosh99]

YES i friggen love this!!

[BrionBoyles]

Sweet jesus, Two of my all time favs, on a kick ass piece. THANK YOU

[marcelstjean]

john is the man.

[2024JayZ]

@marcelstjean haha Kick ass bro this is great

[rennyshelton]

My wife and I have been married 32 years. "In spite of ourselves" we resemble this song. And we love it.

[dallascowboy80]

Very catchy song.

[topgazza]

Hilarious and a great song as well. Just genius guitar playing. Peerless

[zastro52]

Iris & John are one of the best duets out there. Classic stuff.

[Aerdrigh1]

HMMMMM... She's my baby.... I'm corny/horny... Everybody's smarter than me...

[alex666493]

is it just me or did Dement totally steel the show there?

[parkfam]

The first time i heard this song, i loved it. Great harmony and great Guitar picking.

[hyzotic]

honestly... i think 3,956 people are secretly retarded together. only 56 people know about it.

[TheGrandCapt]

John can make any sad thing happy

[8sAces]

songwriters feel these things they write dont know if i could craft create and give something like it away

[MrSmithc01]

I love this song - makes me cry. Believe it or not, my step father played it at the memorial service for my mother. We loved it and she would have, too!

[harveypotato]

@MrSmithc01 - Wow. Your comment nearly made ME cry.

[MrSmithc01]

I love this song - makes me cry. Believe it or not, my step father played it at the memorial service for my mother. We loved it and she would have, too!

[overratedname]

This was my mother and new step-father's first dance song last week. A lot of love in our family, and this song speaks to us, I guess.

[donnasassygal]

Love this awesome

[gregorymt]

jewelllivers@aol.com

[CapinChronic420]

Love this song!!

[bubbah671]

iris was graceful through all of the talking.she is a such a star.

[rennyshelton]

One of the top ten best love songs ever.

[bjordanhotmail]

54 people haven got laid in a month of sundays

[judycoffin]

@bjordanhotmail just love this song!! Take care Everyone> :-}

[odovicor]

@bjordanhotmail Love your comment, especially to the little snark and its coterie of "54." Long live Shakespeare, Beethoven, Prine, Tammy Wynette, Maria Callas, the great poets, musicians, artists, and those like yourself who know it can "all be good" if the little shits just stay in their mom and dad's basement smirking because mom and dad are the only ones who think them special--beyond themselves. By the way, Prine is from down the road a little piece from where I live!

[CeylanGazelle]

@bjordanhotmail make that 66 as of 10-02-11 LOL great song

[chrisisgayha7]

Fantastic, thanks Roger.

[savj777]

@chrisisgayha7 Wonderful comment,I was 19,when i first heard John Prine. I'm 56 now and I still can be moved to tears by his music!!People like him and Iris,remind old men like me about the beauty in emotions,and life its self!!

[michaelb5e2]

5 years from now nobody will remember who justin bieber is or lady gaga or any of a handfull of pop singers popular now but John Prine started in the 70s and people will be listening to him 50plus years from now because he wrote and sang about all of our lives in one way or another

[devriesdana]

i want this to be our first dance song at our wedding. lmao. perfect.

[Daegred]

@devriesdana This is gonna be my sister's wedding song... and it sooo fits them haha Dad and Mom's gonna sing it lmao should be perfect!

[tokengimp]

@devriesdana FYI, My daughter decided this would be hers about three months ago.

[emilydupuis401]

@devriesdana this was the first dance song at my friends wedding! haha it was great !

[Beefmouth]

@devriesdana My buddy had this song for their first dance at his wedding!  Great Song!!

[stubby1338]

@Beefmouth pretty sure if i get married that this will be my first dance too.

[OrchidDada]

LOL! Beautiful!

[dublodream]

52 people are fuckin tasteless

[yahhhkrissy]
