The Tragically Hip - New Orleans Is Sinking

[Odinkudo611]

true musicians, not here to look good, not here to dance, wear expensive clothes and make people envious, only here to make some god damn music.

[cdude1313]

during hurricane Katrina my city ( Timmins, On. ) requested this the most on our radio station..we have a weird sense of humor eh

[ChrisjayH1]

dear HPV people: I've had my a course of HPB vaccination, and your unskippable ad is way annoying. Please target someone else.

[jessprattable]

This song even makes Quebeckers proud to be part of Canada

[demial]

I didn't know the main singer got temporary Down Syndrome when he danced to his own music.

[bamsbbq]

best Hip song of all times

[dogo1ification]

This looks like the little town im from hahahaha

[JerryJayArms]

"Sometimes I feel so good I gotta scream." She said, "Gordie, baby, I know exactly what you mean." "She said, she said, I swear to God she said!"

[justrockon426]

f****** boring foster the people ads!

[beckibeautiful]

Great!! havent heard the hip since i been out West......reminds me of a better time in my life!!

[stonersintuitions]

Who gives a Damn about Vevo In deep partnership with youtube, shut up and Listen to the Hip Do what they DO best. Blow Your Mind.

[Jack53480]

VEVO sucks and the only Canadian band that Blows like the Toronto Maple leafs is Nickel Bag,

[MrDangerwarning101]

fuck you vevo! are you not rich enough?

Vivo a joint venture among Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, and Abu Dhabi Media with EMI licensing its content to the group without taking an ownership stake.

enough of the ads, youtube was not designed for you, it was for us, the common folks and proud of it.

[BeerisAwesome2]

Gordie you and the guys gotta make more songs like this and not the lighter stuff from past recent albums.

[2003fordmustang281]

@BeerisAwesome2 Oh i'm sure Gord has a plan

[NumbAsAStatue27]

This has got to be one of the most bad-ass riffs in rock n roll. Everytime I hear it I get so pumped up. Im damn proud that these guys are Canadian. Also everyone should check out my channel! Thanks to those who do

[25bluntman]

good candian music right here, fuck yeaaaaaa

[LaughingBonesArt]

This song has soul and purpose

[watro1]

These guys make me proud to be from Kingston!

[crocodiliusz]

LIAR, ONLY I AM FROM KINGSTON.

[bbayrocker]

@watro1 to bad the town hates 'em

[watro1]

@bbayrocker LOL. You mean 'too' bad.

[GSPRockNRoll]

@watro1 to bad there not from Kingston

[watro1]

@GSPRockNRoll Wow you have nothing right at all! Firstly you should have typed "too bad" not "to bad". Secondly it's "they're "...that means they are. Lastly and for the final fact, seeing as I'm from there I know this as fact. If you really want to fact check, wikipedia can help you out. Glad to educate you a bit. Have a great day :D

[theshipsdrummer]

sorry I just checked, the show that Hugh Dillon acts on is called Flashpoint, just wanted to clarify my mistake!

[mrb2177]

rush then the hip, both are gods, followed by plenty of other amazing canadian bands. im from america, i love canada! Georgian bay :)

[fortheloveoftunes]

This band goes well with the band "Headstones"

[theshipsdrummer]

@fortheloveoftunes this album goes well with headstones, but it's pretty well 20 years ago, these days the hip sound much different than the headstones, by the way I just heard the headstones have an album either just out or about to come out soon! Hugh Dillon (Headstones singer) got clean and is a lead actor/main character on a show called the Flash, it's pretty good!

[lfdlumpy]

WHY IN THE FUCK IS RIHANNA FEATURED UNDER A HIP VIDEO?!?!?!?

[DragonStomp365]

@lfdlumpy Because Vevo promotes them.

[Jack53480]

@lfdlumpy Because VEVO SUCKS

[onestop67]

@lfdlumpy because she has a nice scrunt.

[victoriaxxxxxrose]

@lfdlumpy cause vevo is gay.

and so is rihanna.

The real question is why is the tragically hip on vevo D:

[BrowninsTube]

@lfdlumpy it's an ad that is almost under all the videos i've been watching on here so far, got nothing to do with what you are watching.

[sledog26]

thats a pretty good rip right around 1:40 haha hell yeah

[NezbittheGreyKitten]

american ww2 combat helmet at 1:25 ???

[colin5070]

[chihauhaun]

[bigfishy14]

[chihauhaun]

@bigfishy14 lol :P

[mommuv4]

Love, love, love this tune....true rock and roll!!

[gravitar96]

12 people like rush better

[brood501]

@gravitar96 ... i like rush more but i still love the hip... your comment is garbage. 2 epic Canadian bands,

[ItsKocot]

@gravitar96 No, no, no, you're supposed to say something along the lines of '12 people feel like swimming'.

[mrbretty5]

Nasty song.....Long live the HIPSTERS!!!!

[TheKre15]

I can't swim at all, but if i tryed

[openshot]

[oilpatchgirl]

This is Canada.

[MetalFuzzz]

[IamDayoldHate1]

Derp. It's about the USS New Orleans

[iampoopman]

@IamDayoldHate1 No it isn't, the USS New Orleans NEVER SANK.

[colin5070]

[colin5070]

I like swiming o:

[pathtoyirah]

SOMETIMES I FEEL SO GOOD I GOTTA SCREAM

[allurabartlett]

I don't get why people compare the Hip to other bands, like Pearl Jam, or Bon Jovi. NO!!! the Tragically Hip is a class all of there own, there own music, and there own fans. They are way better then Pearl Jam, and Bon Jovi.

so i say frig you people who try to compare this band of talented geniuses

[kovalevisgod]

@allurabartlett I agree with you 100%...and I hate to be a dick but I believe "their" is what you were looking for.

[Ricefood]

i have aids this song makes me not feel sad

[sublimekg]

tragically hip = Canada's Pearl Jam

[snipeyouintheface72]

fucking ads



[megamyers]

this looks like a video that had to be tailored to fit early mid nineties liberal canadian tv.

i wonder what was truly invisioned

[stephanienharbbbbbbb]

Killer Whale Tank Version Is The ShIt!

[stephanienharbbbbbbb]

Killer Whale Tank Versions Is The ShIt!

[stephanienharbbbbbbb]

@mes401166 Yeeeah , dude .

[msTuesdayKnight]

this song fucking ROCKS

[mes401166]

@msTuesdayKnight i agree saw them in seattle in front of about 300 people, stood right at the stage front the whole time... best show ever!!!!!

[cf80to01]

Love the Hip! Went to the Rolling Stones at Magnetic Hill just to see them.

[PineFallsGirl]

Details! Details! STFU AND SKIP THIS SHIT! ><

[flyyspit]

Dont complain about a page you come to to COMPLAIN about it...You look really stupid and the IRONY is amazing...

My advice is stay away from Vevo links it will save the whining...

Only complaint for Vevo is DONT censor videos, put a disclaimer for certain vids but beside that ??...

Keep the high quality vids comin...

.LOVIN it

[zyclonb6]

The Tragically Hip are the only band that sound better live then in studio - holy shit I saw them when Mr.Downie had hair - right after Judge Baker took away my licence. A1

[mes401166]

saw them at merrymore in sea, wa. best show ever

[maremagnus]

VEVO really sucks and with Britneybitch on the side.... even worst!

Love real musicians no a bleached one that has nothing to do with quality music!

[togasira1]

帰ってきてくれガイエル１軍に！！！！！



[cheergirlielol]

tegan and sara brought me here!

[toewsfan0910]

i hate buffering with a passion other than that great song

[markrebus11]

@toewsfan0910 Try beefing up your RAM dude..I never see a pause..with 6 GB's..lol

[Backspacebrad]

Why does everyone hate VEVO?! Way better sound quality then the other shit

[pinkrick333]

@Backspacebrad -maybe its having to look at some friggin ad of lady gaga or J-lo and see their face while youre trying to watch your vid...personally I find it intrusive, not to mention that the last thing I want to see is lady gagas face while I'm watching classic rock vids!....maybe if the ads were more of the genre you watched it wouldn't be so painful..sorry, but you asked.

[Backspacebrad]

@pinkrick333 Ahh you have a point. I was just curious, so i enjoyed that comment. I'm not really one for watching the videos myself, i just get a song rolling.. then go back to FB.

[Ch1naManChan]

@pinkrick333 google chrome -> google webstore -> search "adblock" -> install -> no more ads

[BradG1992]

I swear this video should have millions of views, whats the problem!?.. lol

[felisberto2]

@BradG1992 the problem is:this music sucks,Justin Bieber is way better.

[xjaw13x]

@felisberto2 you have to be kidding me....

[BradG1992]

@felisberto2 if you're being serious I feel sorry for you, sincerely

[wafflepunkk]

I always thought this song was so ironic... because New Orleans basically DID sink...

[VINsational331]

@wafflepunkk that's not irony

[techman823]

[TheGino7668]

[VoxRox1]

@TheYerp26 On behalf of Canadians everywhere... we are truly sorry about that one.

[andyass3]

@TheYerp26 and sorry about justin beiber

[Hutty1616]

how do people not understand that if it wasnt for ads we would have to pay to listen to this music...

[VoxRox1]

Thumbs up if you hate Vevo, and all the bullshit advertising.

[kurtclayton]

[kcarlito100]

@kirkh21 I am sure the same thing can be said about the current city/town that you live in.

[JerryJayArms]

@kcarlito100 tacos and ba-no-no's.

[kirkh21]

New Orleans can sink into the ocean for all I care and can take the people their with it!

[JerryJayArms]

@kirkh21 Amen.

[JerryJayArms]

@kirkh21 Amen

[voodid]

@kirkh21 before New Orleans could fulfill your wishes it would first need to be located near an ocean. Then the people over their (heir - here - there) generally own boats, so it's all good.

[JerryJayArms]

@candylovestwilight hahahaha (:

[JerryJayArms]

@candylovestwilight umm no. nothing was forgotten. hedley blows.

[bikinghockeydude]

[TooMuchCTV]

Fuck yea its awesome up here, we get a federal election every two years or back to back if we're lucky, and the best part about it all. We get to watch old and over the hill men and women take extreme measures to plant a low blow on each and every person in opposition parties, We could turn that shit into a PPV if someone were smart about it.

[Devilsean]

@WuFFYWuLF Think Norways #1 now, but yeah were still top 5

[sweeeeney]

[TheCaptainLulz]

Gord......with hair....woah thats old. Dont really matter though, hes just as amazing with or without.

[supercrazy]

Holy look at the hair on Gordon Downie in this video lol.

[Rinconmaniac]

Leave your politics at home. Enjoy the music and some as the hip say some "Willie Nelson" sit back and enjoy :) Most of us on here are tired of Americans and Canadians comparing Dick sizes! They are both great countries. Nuff Said!

[Devilsean]

Gord Downie used to live 2 houses down from me, near the Danforth, great guy.

[akaflint10]

Love the song, the video- not so much.

[ThisIsPehPeh]

lol sadsic is such a retard

[doomzdayreaper]

if it weren't for canada WWII would have been horrible, Americans think we are shit but in reality we did alot, like alot.... America is good too don't get me wrong im just saying don't underestimate canada... we pack a punch ;)

[Milosh97]

I love Canada even though I've only been there once, and I just have to say, almost all the best music comes out of that country. Well done guys.

[schnel127]

[TiPz403]

Can't we all just enjoy this totally kick ass song? It's like being in damn grade 9 history class all over again
