The Man From Marin!

[AmesEla]

Omg! The Man From Marin is very amusing.

[TheCheetahWatch]

ugh, too true right down to the weathered blonde look they all have.

[NY2Calif]

Thank you! Laughed out loud!

[dylthaavatar]

Thanks for the reply, I'll look into the matter further.

[dylthaavatar]

You didn't write this song. My little brother's drama-class wrote this song for the "Bolinas School Talent Show" a couple of years ago. Did you steal it, or...? How come you don't give any credit to my brother or his class?... 7th graders by the way.

[heroineworshipper]

Having trouble fighting the laughter?

[DANKVONDOOM]

Ffffffuck this.

[squeekmousethecat]

Verrry nice -- (though I have to say, in defense of the Good Earth hippy grocery store, that they tend to sell much more local produce than trucked-in-from-far-away stuff -- that would be Whole Foods. A minor point.).

[dakopyc]

Love the lines about "Cafe Gratitude" (in SF, such a pompous place! ;) LOLz... "driving my Prius down Sir Francis Drake"... ;) and of course, the massage one about "Don't worry, that's just my kneecap!" hee hee hee Awesome parody, dude! Clever wordsmithing! ;)

[absrd]

Love for the man from Marin!

[peaklightimages]

Love it! Vir is a good new age weird al yankovic. Putting the "Ham" in Hamsa Lila!

Namaste yo!

[melissaross05]

Awesome! But I do think this applies more to Santa Cruz!

[gypsycellist]

I moved away from my beloved Fairfax and just ran across this. So cute and funny. Thank you.....

[TheCardinalchunder]

This won't make sense unless you've lived in Marin County in California. If you have lived in Marin, this is INCREDIBLY accurate and fucking hysterical. If you've never lived in Marin you simply will not get this.

[Mypullipmirajane]

Oi...

[bandoflight]

I Love you brother Vir. :)

[miriamhamsa]

Bingo, Vir!



[ceciliafox]

This is really funny, nailed it!

[HuggiMa]

So when are we going to film this on location, at all the spots that are mentioned in the song? My camera and FCP are ready to go!

[h2oholic]

being from Marin (no transplant here) I must give you a hearty LOL

[Amitabha108]

Just plain fun. Liked it a lot. Thanks for playin'.

[SpitItOutProductions]

So funny! Thanks for a great laugh!!!!

[SpitItOutProductions]

this is brilliant and absolutely hilarious! thanks for a great laugh!!!

[shehoss99]

OMFG. The truth hurts. Especially in purple. I LOVE YOU VIR. Seen my downward dog?

[inmitch]

Yeah assmuncher but one can watch PART of a video, decide it's not for them and move on. <--- THIS seems like common sense to me... and that doesn't make YOU dumb or me dumb, it's just a difference of opinion.

[assmuncher1984]

I like the uploader comments section.

nobody5432 - "this FUCKING SUCKS"

inmitch - "Then don't fucking watch it!"

To be honest, one has to watch the video to determine it sucks.

I don't think the username nobody5432 determined it sucked by not watching it.

You see what I mean?

That is what I hear all the time

"Why are you even watching this video if you hate it?"

Well, dumb ass. Since common sense is your second language let me get out my science book and whip up some facts shall we?

Dumb people.

[nigahigafanyay]

lol purple stretchy pants!

[AlexisRose108]

this is very clever, cute, and wonderful!

[joyisaware]

hahah i loved that, thanks 4 sharing

[myraUSA]

Fantastic!

[didiydi]

hahah!!! this was hillarious!

[jackbunny2006]

It would be funnier if all his real music didn't pander directly to the crowd he seems to be making fun of here.

[yahjnby]

I proudly salute you my fellow MFM!

[Alan2300]

cabro - everyone knows Cabro !!! and Santa Cruz... zers. UCSC -

[videograss]

Is the girl on the right single? I hope so! Have her call me, please!

[Kallainlove]

Hilarious! I lived in the freaking STAR PALACE for almost a year! You could NOT be more on target with this satire.

Thank you!

[BettyBiodiesel]

ahh haaa haaaa haaaa so funny so funny I love it a truly good depiction...we need one for hippies in sebastopol living in intentional communities...oh please help us Vir with your satire!

[cactusMigwell]

I saw Vir Jam with his band Hamsa Lila this past weekend in San Fran, wow!

[philipinwdc]

Ha! Funny!  I miss Marin!!! xoxo

[AlethaSings]

awesome! and horribly true!

[AnastasiaNetri]

Oh my god that is the funniest thing I have EVER seen! Go on with yo' bad self, man from Marin! I'm strangely turned on by him. Hmmm.

[raceyjones]

Nice one Vir.

[koshoart]

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) the New Agers are in a minority in Marin. Most of Marin County has been taken over by workaholic yuppies and the very rich so the most colorful group here would be the crowd Vir is singing about.

[imaninjaemily]

i live in marin now and may i say it SUCKS so stuck up and vegan!!!!!!! FUCK THE PRIUS there taking over the world. your video is tooo true.

[stagegirl1997]

hysterical!!!!! lol: 1:04 to 1:07

[Zeccola44]

Namaste mothafucka! I believe that the internet was invented specifically so that one day you could post this video.  Thank you.

[workingclasssociety]

Yeah, A lot of people have infested the whole county. Most of the people should move back to where they came from. They talk but don't walk the walk. There are for sure some closed minded stuck up people that ruin the down to earth good feeling people. I saw kids get BMW's at 16 and crash them a couple weeks later. I am glad I don't live like that even though I am from here. A lot of them try to keep up with the Joneses Peace and love, funny parody though.

[oranji]

20 years of living in Marin.... oh god, this is video is awesome, I believe that Marin should be it's own independent country. We sure act like it

[peacedance]

HAHAHAHAAAHA---Just moved here from Michigan a few months ago- and my friend Nicole from Chelsea told me to check you out---VERY, VERY right on funny. Thank you.--nice chest. ;-)

[nemea23]

Hilarious & oh-so-true-to-life! I am also a Sonoma County denizen, This disease has spread to most of the North Bay. But I have to ask. Is Vir actually British? Or is it just to add an extra air of Yinny pretension?

[mirrorspeak]

What's the background? Is that Cabro?

[inmitch]

Haha, no, but if the secret must be out, The Man From Marin, was filmed at my house in Santa Cruz.

[cameo008]

haha! thats defintly marin

[NerdySheeps]

hehe I live in sebastopl CA and this sounds just like it ahahahahahahahaahahahaaaaaaaa

[junkmailboxer]

ahahahahahaha

[sherisoulkiss]

love it

heee heeee

Purple stretch pants yeah !!

[hezsez]

You might want to consider Sonoma County where were cool green and beautiful. We have mansions, but you need four wheel drive to pass in the winter.

[pranamayainc]

Funny how truth is so often funnier (and stranger) than fiction... The only thing missing was a Werner Erhart reference!

[roxanism]

omg Vir! Classic.

[AlexPxr8]

He's one of those 'amster feelers, innit

[sagedrummer]

Awesome, see you at the Contact Improve Dance Jam!

[nobody5432]

this FUCKING SUCKS

[inmitch]

Then don't fucking watch it!

[Katakagara]

Funny! I was born in Ross,CA--Smack dab in the middle of Marin. It's great to hear all the places mentioned in the song.

Kataka

[pokemonmaster7777777]

What the... Aunt Whitney? Didn't my mom give you that purple thing?

[ChavezRey]

He tends toward the in, ten years from now they'll be singing along in Arkansas...well maybe fifteen...

[edog91955]

That would be..."He tends toward the 'yin'" [not the 'yang'] The weekly colonic might have something to do with that.

Fun video! See you up at Harbin Hot Springs!

[jnartist]

lol, Marin in a nutshell...Rich dude with too much time on his hands. Mom, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

[MOMMAKUH]

I love, love this video, but I saw him at Good Earth and he looked pissed...I wanted to say, "hey, aren't you the Man From Marin?" but was afraid I'd get chewed.

[puntamona]

i keep watching and its soo funny every time!!! Love you VIR!!!

[ebajeeb37]

genius satire!

love it.

lol lol lol

[juliankw]

Marin rules!

[whotookmypiewtf]

marin sucks i live here

[browalker888]

This is the best video I've ever seen. Marin Sucks, just ask John Walker Lindh

[eleanorerigby]

wow! That was awesome. People who haven't experienced Marin won't get it at all...

[MichaelsRT]

wow that was retarded.

There are now 15,245 people who are now dumber for having watched this stupid shit.

[r3music]

Wow.  Marin sucks. Clever tune tho.

[bloomiesbabe1]

hellll noo

[sanzyana]

hahaha

lov it! :D

namasté

[sunnyeish]

Perfect! He could pass for Men from Seattle too.

[santacruzsus]

[chocolatelovegoddess]

I love purple stretch pants, exotic purple fruits, the kama sutra AND the man from marin!!! Om nama shivia...

[bassil1]

I really  liked your friend's downward dog! ARF.

[op25no1]

almost 4 minutes of your life you'll never get back.

[movingforce1]

I love Sweat your prayers. see you there but leave your Yin at home. :))

[mamamedicine]

Hi

ThE Man here. Bring your Tantra to A special Marin Hottubbers gathering at the Natural Space THursay Nov 13 12E. School St Fairfax with Hu-man and the revolution

Lovin You

[colemonster]

Vir is my hero

[music2chic]

So hilarious.... i think if i sent it to my family in Canada, they wouldnt even know what half the words were.

[garnetfangs]

I was riding in my girlfriend's '57 chevy when I yelled "Marin Men, Grow Some Balls!"

He is perfect! The only thing more neutered are the guys pushing their baby carriages window shopping in San Anselmo!

Love you all - all you white people!

I am an aging cat woman by the way!

Love,

GarnetFangs

[michelebutterfly]

you are an aging cat woman? would you be willing to say more about that?

[virmccoy]

cat in the hat

[LorenceM24]

sooo awesome!

[tamarinda71]

this display of self-loathing and auto-emasculation hurts me

[dakasteve]

What do you mean? He loves everything he's parodying! You can hear it in his final "namaste" - meaning it, parodying its frequent usage, and meaning it again - "the spirit in me that thinks namaste overusage is funny bows in delight to the spirit in you that thinks namaste overusage is funny."

Or perhaps I'm reading a few things in there.

[tamarinda71]

was kidding. typed sarcasm doesn't go over too well. (vir does it better)

namaste, dakasteve :)

[alivenow1]

Just watched again with my roommate - I've forwarded to 5 people. Hilarious!

[glowingfilament]

Genius!

[CatHutton]

great...anyone want to buy a lovely marin home:)

[drabacus]

Probably the greatest song since 'Long-nosed foraging Rats of Rangoon' or the Vir McCoy classic 'Caca' from the YOU band day!

[jmogalian]

Love the song, love the players, and as a man from Marin myself..........Guilty as charged

[sayawho23]

Dude, can't wait to come up with a pilates routine to go along with your song, once again your music has moved me deeply brah, namaste right back attcha! Otters rule ;)

[dylthaavatar]

@sayawho23 this is not his song, he stole it from a 7th grade talent show in Bolinas.

[inmitch]

@dylthaavatar Sorry... kids are either misinformed or lying. Note that this was posted THREE years ago and the song was sung by the kids TWO years ago. Plus I know Vir McCoy and he writes all his own stuff including two children's CD's and a children's website. Vir loves kids and would never steal from them.

[jiminthetao007]

I'm laughing so hard I think I just peed my pants. You rock!

[dogheartc]

I luvva duvva duvva it, I mean, resonated with this. The vibes have only been surpassed by the work of Dick Cheney when he shot his buddy while hunting, plus the work of Marion Barry.

Seriously, a masterpiece. Yab yummy. The "Marinettes" added alot. More, please.

[delphicwon]

My new way to wake up in the morning to a good laugh...of course after I chant
