  • right on to the real Tim Fite

  • saw him live i wore all camo. i did it for its irony but the song was partially about me. he and his brother are very chill dudes.

  • 5 srars

  • how did this get so many diskile

  • i watched this about 4 years ago ...this takes me back

  • this was my 15 favrioted video

  • @nooloo3000 Then again with the even known as "Prohibition," where the poor, who basically lived in the woods off the land, made their own liquor. In the cities the liquor was something that was cherished and traded. The cities decided that the poor country folk and recently freed slaves who were making free/cheap corn whiskey should be supressed with military force. The woods folk were warriors and pioneers, so it didn't go well for the government.

  • what fucking genre does this fall under

  • @GhettoBlaster100 camouflage

  • @nooloo3000 Finally... we have a mental state of privacy and family security that is constantly being promoted in the south. At the same time the military is a very respected way for the poor to get out of poverty, improve the lives of their family; however the poor are often the target of choice to fill these armies. He is basically referring to all these things simultaneously, in my mind.

  • @GhettoBlaster100 it falls under Hillbilly NY Indie Political Hip Hop, aka badass.

  • HOOAH!

  • That's a good song I liked the beans part

  • brilliant piece of social commentary. big love for tim fite.

  • He's good on film, but otherworldly on stage

  • Tim Fite is unbelievably brilliant. His social commentary is unmatched and this video (and the oodles of ignorant comments about it) are proof that his music and message affects people. It's a damn shame that more people can't understand the seriously deep-seated messages in this song. It must be because they were educated in the system that is "supported" by NoChildLeftBehind. Bravo Tim Fite for showing the world your amazing grasp on American culture.

  • @mcvendettashizzle i wish there was a "double like" button i could press for your comment

  • @lollipopthug

    If you like the social commentary and positive vibes, check out my band BloodThirsty Vegans. Our site is just the band name dot com.

  • @mcvendettashizzle please explain hte deep meaning im curious i pardon my bad grammer

  • @nooloo3000 I got this one... The person is basically from the south, where we believed for a long time that the government is bad, and specifically out to get you. This mentality comes from two MAJOR incursions with the southern US.

    The north and south disputed territory, laws, and trade during the Civil War. After the south lost, there was a sense of loss, and the poor whites were put into a position of poverty, as slaves were freed, and the pay for employees was dropped dramatically.

  • Has anybody got a bag?

  • Hail to Don Van Vliet...

  • i dont really get what he's saying.

  • Not my musical style, but I love the graphics.

  • really fucking powerful.

  • dude... you should make more songs like this. This could be a big movement in your style. Everything else I've seen was sad. Good video styling, but slow sad music.

    I like you better as an angry pissed off soldier.

  • does anyone here have guitar tabs for this??? if you can atleast tab out the lick at 1:40-1:46 that would be great! thanks...btw tim fites the man! i dont care what you haters have to say- i got camo on my jeans

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent movie, top track :-D I saw Tim play years ago & just downloaded his latest album. Nice one Mr Fite. You're an absoloooooooot genius.

  • Why is this song only rated 3 stars?

  • I wonder the same thing

  • what happened, and I remember when this first got released, that many people unfortunately did not 'get it' they thought he was mocking the soldiers themselves so when one person says jump off the bridge everyone else does and thus people started rating it low and complaining without really understanding this brilliant music video.

  • Ohh! Thanks for making sense of it all. I thought people didn't like the music itself!

  • definitely in my top 5 favorite artists. very original, and nearly every song has such a good meaning. Brilliant!

  • This is Amazing

  • music is subjective so subject yourself to some silence

  • lol your sad i'd like to see you do better >|:P

  • Lol

  • I just realized that this is a Captain Beefheart sample...

    Awesome!

  • I can't wait to see Tim Fite and Man Man! I get to see them tonight!! Nashville is going to rock tonight!!!

  • haahhahahahahahahahha right?

  • we did :-))))))

  • this stuff is awesome

  • Great work Tim. The North Hampton show with Man Man was outstanding.

  • tim fite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • koo

  • Sweet.

  • decoy8812...

    he obviously didnt get the message behind this song...lol...

  • every serviceperson that gets deployed should get an ipod (a camo ipod of course) with this song on it.

  • you obviously didnt get the message behind this song...lol...

  • dumb ass

  • not tim fite he rocks!! im talkin about decoy

  • urankdam ur a conservitave arnt u?

  • it's hard to see!

  • GRAND!

  • "I got this defending a barrel of gasoline...

    It seems like this camouflage is camouflaging kings, posing as presidents, camouflaging the evidence, that the Patriot Act is tapping every phone in your residence" - wonderful song.

  • the best song by Mr. tim fite

  • "its a fashion statement from a fascist nation"

    nice...

  • i saw him open for les claypool it was awsome

  • oops - i meant "music critics". sorry.

  • a lot of msic critics have put "over the counter culture" on their 'best of 2007' lists. it's a great album that tim fite self-released and made available for free download on his site. go there and get it. now.

  • The album already made best of lists with me. Wuth that and 2 mniute Blues, it should be a wonder I don't have more of his discography yet.

  • damn i love this vid

  • this is such a great song and video, very catchy, can't stop watching it and will be remembered. My faith in humanity just sunk a lil lower after reading some of these comments...

  • YEs, thats real intellect.

    anyone who "puts down" or disagrees with what you like or associated with is a fat, un-educated worthless prick.

    real intelligent, is that the education they are handing out in military?

  • i just found out about tim fite... but i've been a fan of lil t and one track mike since before they released fome is dape... i'm SO happy to see he's still doing music!

  • he's not trying to be gangster! it's not standard rap (namely because he's not making this to talk about how rich he is or how many girls he fucked yesterday). this is music with a message, and you can just get over the fact that he looks weird.

  • Yes it is all about the money. Neverminding that Tim Fite released this album to the public FOR FREE.

  • I just got over 8 pages of thos comments and..

    It seams that there is hope for America. One little, cripled , bleading hope.

    I hate you. First Reich now USA( U suck Ass)

    Abowt the "song" , It makes ppl think, thats good, but hard. I got the impresion that He was preaty pissed off.

  • Freedom of Speech people, this guy doesn't agree with the way we're waging this war. I agree with him. We could do much better.

  • its cool BK is in this.

  • The best

    I like the part with two heads...jeje

    A SpanisH Boy

  • This is what music was invented for.

    TO express Unbelievable and genius.

  • When people make mistakes like MURDER, they go to jail undeadmedic. And Bush MURDERS children.

  • Buck

    fUSH

  • undeadmedic, countries don't have gender so enough with the "her" america is thousands of miles wide, by my standards thats fat for a chick so even if america had a gender "she'd" be fat, who likes fat chicks?

  • that's funny

  • Theres a big fuckin difference between fighting for this country and fighting for the american government.George bush and his fuck buddies couldnt care less about your life, my life or a soldiers life.

  • Fuck The United States Government. Yes I am a U.S citizen.

  • why would u not fight 4 America? or even DIE 4 her? she is there 4 u are u there 4 her???

  • "a fashion statement from a fascist nation", man, you couldn't be more on target.

  • almost one star come on people vote vote vote!!! (vote one star)

  • is hot this season

  • what a great video lol.

    and seriusly poopykid deal with it

  • ur a fuckin discrase

  • ur mom

  • i dont know why it has so low rating cause its great !

  • Lol its funny when he says "its hot to see"

  • That the PARTIOT Act is tapping every Phone in your Residence, Home in your Settlements, Bone in your Skeletons.

  • watch?v=AFEO7EPZpgE

    watch?v=eVqALWf92EI

  • ur just a republican so shut the hell up!

  • I also saw him open for Greyboy at the highline on sat May 12. I think a lot of people didn't get him or give him a chance, because he is just a *little* different than Greyboy, but I liked his whole performance. I'm a little worried about it translating to an album, but I'll check it out. I liked the performance and character in person...

  • i saw this guy open up for Karl Denson and the greyboy all stars at the ram's head this past friday, and i seriously thought this guy was fucked up on some hard drugs.

  • Now what you wanna look like? like you ready for war?

    BEST line ever!

  • People are missing the point. People whining about "patriotism" should shut up and listen. It's about all the obnoxious "ironic" hipsters and poseurs wearing cam as a fashion and to point out how stupid they are - in addition to his point on the political climate. "Camo on my Land Rover, camo on my scene...it looks good on anything...it's a fashion statement from a fascist nation...it looks good on everything." If anything, it is making fun of young American "liberals."

    Hipsters suck.

  • this song fucking song everyone who is arguing about politics should kill themselves. the tool singing is just trying to be cool by rapping, and he thinks hes good

  • I don't agree with the ideas expressed in this video, but you've got to agree that this is highly creative and entertaining to watch. It's unfortunate that the rest of the music industry lacks the creativity that Fite has. Just imagine what the world would be like if there was good stuff like this coming out all the time....there may be something to listen to. Nice job Tim!!

  • tha 2 black guyz r tha mozt camouflaged people in there

  • Good work on the video, but honest to god man, grow some balls. Most people VOLUNTEER for the military and know the risks. If you dont like America GTFO, we dont need people like you.

  • I disagree. I think we do need people like this. People who can stand up and ask "What the fuck is going on?". The ability to dissent and question is one of the most beautiful rights we have in this country. It's what makes us great. If we voluntarily give that up for any reason, we'll find ourselves in a very scary place.

    Free speech at all costs. All power to the people and ban the fucking bomb.

  • You're right, we need more humans instead of sheep who believe whatever their told without question.

  • Most people volunteer for the military, but not everyone acknowledges the risks. The most people think of is, "I could die."

  • dammit this should b five star.

  • How much money do you think he's making off of his YouTube video? Not only that, but oddly enough, the guy is putting this entire album up for free. Gee, he must be rolling in dough as a result.

  • Good point! However, my comment was not about "his" making money, but that people in general can in the U.S. which is the system in the world where the Govt. does not have any legal controls over publications, such as this. That should be respected.

  • Actually, I do remember that song, but I didn't realize that was Tim Fite. I was basing my comment on the fact that his other music on the website isn't that style. If people don't like this one, they might like some of his other stuff. That's all.

  • this is actually quite intelligent and poignent, the irony is lost on the less educated.

  • Sadly, you're absolutely right.

  • maybe you should learn a bit more about the government before ranting on a bunch of political-type words saying it's our government. shit video, shit song

  • Good work on the video, great performance. Wish I could like the political message behind it, but I can't.

  • I love this video! Great one man

  • It's pathetic how the haters rate this so low just because they can't get off their asses and make their own video lol.

  • Screw bush and the USA gov.

  • fuck george bush, fuck the USA gov...

  • tim!

  • Im still to this day wondering, why was this ever featured?

  • I don't really understand what his message was. The song sucked too.

  • WHERE are THE POSITIVE COMMENTS? great work!

  • 34 seconds was all I could take of this P O S

  • I'm underwhelmed.

  • LOL-I like that word leahbia....Can I use it?

  • i hate this friking hunk of carp

  • omg i keep having to watch the first few seconds of this video to hear how much it sucks. What a gay wangsta, he annoys me. Just looks like some fat white kid who grew up with unloving parents

  • got one word "DUM"

  • What? Camo on your Land Rover? Your jeep's made of fucking cardboard, dude! Why would anyone believe you have a Land Rover?

  • Well.. THATS the point, you see ??

  • i made it to 1 minute and 21 seconds, then i had to puke

  • dude. Never rap again.

  • if only we could put taps into ppls bones. that would make things a lot easier. LOL just kidding, Good beat, Good vid, SUcky message

  • i dont like the message it's giving out...and there are so many vids on political issues these days...*huh*

  • I thought it would be something even mildly interesting but i can see it's nothing more than an utter waste of time... please drop dead

  • I got a big black plastic bag in my trash can. what the hell is this?

  • beats good, rhymings good, the song and videos good in general, i just uttery disagree with the message it conveys...

  • i love the way you guys edited the video!!

  • i'll get you a body bag for free.

  • yah it was good but u have to work on your moves that was not gangsata'

  • this is not worth a 2 out of 5. It could be better but it was good all over. The music sounded like something the gorillaz would make.

  • was isen das für'n Müll?

  • oh boy..

  • good job

  • Wow.

  • actually i like this alot

  • somehow creepy

  • Rofl.

  • BRILLIANT. Don't listen to all the haters. YouTube commenters are demographically skewed dramatically to hateful people. Divide YouTube hate by 10 = normal population's hate.

  • be proud of yourselves for exercising your freedom. i hope that more viewers listen to your WORDS and not critique your directing. -b good

  • is this guy for real??? if so wtf???

  • this is pretty much one of the worst music videos ive seen i mean honestly i think falloutboy is better then this

  • I got the message, well said too.

  • stupid

  • just goes to show you that really good editing (and it was) can make up for really talentlessly performed music. 3/5.
