Scott Avett sings, "Where have all the average people gone?" by Roger Miller

[omajan09]

is someone stepping on bubble wrap?

[SiriuslyStarkidHP]

@MitchellFinewood Yes, because we all know pop music is rife with people who write their own lyrics and music. And play banjo, cello, and upright bass...

[morgantown1]

@SiriuslyStarkidHP ha, well said

[MitchellFinewood]

@raymondfeltonfan and the rest of the ignorant... Sorry to inform you, but The Avett Brother's are pop.

[c3peloww]

sorry to inform you, but you are retarded if you think the avett brothers are pop.

[raymondfeltonfan]

@MitchellFinewood sorry to inform you, but The Avett Brothers are not pop! They are to amazing to fit into just one category, but I can insure you, pop is not one! (:

[jamesvgold]

@raymondfeltonfan Slight Figure of Speech is about as pop as pop gets. Fine by me.

[MultiBillyGreen]

Now...This is music....

[porter8680]

I would slit me wrists with a ball bearing to hear the Avett Brothers cover just one of Willie Nelson's songs.

[dadgumit]

@porter8680 Actually, I have always thought Willie would do a GREAT cover of Salina.

[DaveMajor7]

Hey I play a cover of this song please check it out!! The Avett brothers inspired my to start singing song and not just play classical music.

[shortcfarms]

LOVE LOVE IT!!!

[IanJD10]

scott has a dip in and hes such a good singer

[IanJD10]

scott has a dip in

[19BARD85]

ashton kutcher plays guitar

[meier160]

great song, great voice but sounds like Scott is in a tunnel

[ifitsthebeaches27]

I quoted this song in my sermon for this Sunday! I also put in a quote from ill with want and me and God!

[MegaMgood]

As always, I'm blown away. I hope this makes it on the new album.

[Hinterlandfolk]

Scott is so amazing , Lithic couldnt of said it better. That song was meant for scott

[salvonation]

Hard to believe I'm the first like, haha...

[faeriekat1]

Why judge? Everybody is normal/crazy!!

[ThemeForAJackal138]

All white girls love him. I mean 95%

[foleyxl18]

1 person isn't average

[anm426]

Beautiful...both the song and Scott

[trippw10]

this video is perfection

[raymondfeltonfan]

I am 14 and the Avett Brothers are my favorite band, I wish they got more credit and the media wouldn't focus on singers like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

[ifitsthebeaches27]

@raymondfeltonfan heck yes! i am 16 and feel the exact same way!

[gesmith98]

@raymondfeltonfan You should start a cult to brainwash as many media drenched kids as you can into enjoying what is real!!!! You go my young friend!!!

[neverthink04]

@raymondfeltonfan whoa im 14 and my favorite band is that avett brothers too (have been since 4th grade haha) i thought i was the only one, thats awesome. :)

[raymondfeltonfan]

@neverthink04 they are truly amazing ! i dont know where i would be without them ! glad there are kids out there who know good music when they hear it (:

[banjogtr57]

@raymondfeltonfan Its better this way. The concerts aren't huge and u feel so close to them.

[otttto9999]

@raymondfeltonfan

why you hatin, yust enjoy the dam song wtf

[foleyxl18]

My Idol. It's funny when people say I have a similar voice to Scotts. If I ever get half as good as him I can die with a smile on my face.

[drunknmonky77]

I want to know what the person that disliked this video listens to

[Aputupa]

@drunknmonky77 Nobody disliked this song. Somebody just missed the like button.

[countrynuno]

amazing

[LiliStrange]

<3

[SL04]

It's absolutely scary how much Scott looks like my dad at his age in this video. Same beard, same hat, same guitar. It's like a trip back in time twenty years.

[jmkm1078]

One person can't whistle...

[donkeykidtim]

An Avett Brother singing Roger Miller?! I added this to my favorites about ten seconds in!

[jackblacksutube]

all these vids should be black and white

[BoobyMcDoogle]

Roger Miller <3

[ggirlky]

loved it - good for the soul!

[keweidoo]

schwul

[640on]

Should have played this at the grammy's for a little shock value. You have ten's of other songs that are equal or better in their own right! Rock on.

[cheesetoastable]

40,000 of these views are mine. 

[mindfulmusic78]

Great lyrics!

[TheBuchananme]

Who would dislike this? 

[0boardcertified0]

@TheBuchananme Gotta be Kanye or Bieber lol!

[morgancayla15]

look at that big cute smile he flashes at the beginning!

[MSeepaulsingh]

1 person sucks.

[mrbill224]

@MSeepaulsingh very original comment. your a very very very clever. how many 'thumbs ups' do you think youwill get for that one?

[countrynuno]

[hippiescummmmm]

Scott is so talented. He's my favorite Avett brother. He's gorgeous. And I love his beard! :)

[hopulikit22]

Strong as new rope....

[szshell]

Wow...amazing!!!

[wkodom]

Roger Miller sang this about my life before I was even livin'

[NCsqrlkiller]

Holy crap, what an awesome awesome song!!!!

[josedecour]

this is sweeter than yoo-hoo

[kerrymrobinson]

great song. thumbs up.

[joeyacdc]

lol baby vs. cat

[FridayMorningHero]

[kenis4]

@FridayMorningHero Probably, It's how we country folk ride.

[vealhambacon]

Everybody! Go to the Roger Miller Museum in Erick, OK on old route 66 or off of I-40!

[avettalmond2020]

i love the avett brothers

[chancellordumbfuck]

Them avetts got somethin' special....

[effluant]

What with all the hate people? Lifes short.

Love this song but hate the vibe of the comment log.

[TheMountainmom]

is thankful for the friend that lead her to the Avett Brothers, great music,.....so normal....

[brodank]

@barnhilljason420 and @ TABrmayes - bwahahaha!! you kids are a riot! it is har-freekin-larious readin you guys fight on youtube comments....oh man

[nastynate704]

@ all the people who argue via youtube comments: get a life.

[WyomingTimberWolf]

That was realy good Scott! 

[MultiPoilkjmnb]

love the lyrics

[PurpleAvettFan]

I love your beard Scott Avett, love it.

[sweetlittlesheila67]

I could see Gram Parsons singing this.

[amilye123]

Beautiful and Touching.

[SuperJos81]

I just saw their show in Amsterdam tonight. I loved the show and this song. Does anyone know whether it's going to be on a new album or something?

[TABrmayes]

@SuperJos81 it is a Roger Miller cover so I doubt that they aree going to put it on one of their albums

[TABrmayes]

@barnhilljason420 its kind of self explanatory.. if u read the comment that i replied to then u would have seen that the person was wondering if it was going to be on a new album so i just stated that it is doubtful.. and ofcourse u can put covers on an album, but do u see any covers on the avett brothers albums? with the exception of signs that was originally written by their father jim and a friend, the answer is no.. The only small chance is a live album, but thatnks for ur useless input.

[TABrmayes]

@barnhilljason420 wow u r a fucking idot. just keep ur mouth shut when u have nothing constructive to say.. the comment wasn't even directed at you in the first place and now ur just making urself look ignorant and immature. that would be great if it were on a live album and i guess we will see when they put another one out. but until then i will just hope that u and anyone else like u who is childish enough to start arguments on youtube dies violently. and i wont respond to u again fuckin loser

[AtomicHercules]

@TABrmayes yea bro wanted man is a doc watson cover. or at least they cover the doc watson version of wanted man. dumb ass dipshit.

[TABrmayes]

@AtomicHercules have you seen the track list for live volume three? no where have all the average people gone. fact is now that they have a major record label you arent going to be seeing a lot of cover songs on their live albums because columbia wants them to promote their own music. And if you paid attention i was talking about their studio albums on the previous comment and said there was a chance of seeing it on a live album. but thank you for wasting my time faggot. fuck urself.

[AtomicHercules]

@TABrmayes i was responding to where you said that the only cover on any of their albums is Signs, not predicting what they'll put on future albums, ya fucking moron. There are also several covers on Live at Double Door which is an official release so it's considered an album. You have poor reading comprehension so it makes sense that you're a stupid fuck. Also, fuck your momma.

[TABrmayes]

@AtomicHercules when i said that signs was the only one on an album i also stated in a following sentence that there was a chance that it could be on a live album. I know it was way over your head there but that implys that their live albums do have covers and that that would be the best chance to see this song. Obviously im not implying that they have no covers on any of their live albums, i would have to know nothing about them to say that. I apologize for confusing you.

[TABrmayes]

@AtomicHercules You should look forward to leaning about suggestive writing and speech in like 9th or 10th grade and then you can give your opinion in confidence, knowing that you are capable of carrying a conversation with adults. I know its rough to have to feel so stupid sometimes but hang in there and keep ur head up. most people have a lot of patience and pity for slow people so you should get a lot of room for error throughout your life and a good job working for ten dollars an hour. enjoy

[AtomicHercules]

@TABrmayes you're right, man. anyone that argues with you online must either be a kid or a loser in his mom's basement, right? Does that pretty much cover it? No one, not even your mom gives a fuck what you have to say.

[TABrmayes]

@AtomicHercules hahahhaha you make no sense.. u basically just clled me a loser or a kid but at the same time just called urself the same.. u are so stupid i dont even have to call you names because u do it for me.. hahahahaha

[AtomicHercules]

@TABrmayes your dick is small

[TABrmayes]

@AtomicHercules haha wow u poor thing, must be frustrated. thats funny!

[babsers]

Their last Chicago show is the first that I have missed them coming to Illinois in 4 years. :(

[sickillusions09]

[ouitdee]

I agree, the Minneapolis show was awesome! Took the road trip to Chicago and they did this song again, they rocked the house! Their cousin played the drums on one of their songs, she played great!

[fourwaysunshine]
