Blind Melon - Three Is A Magic Number

[MattHatter]

Who is the band backing Shannon on this one?! Is it the rest of Blind Melon or is it another band? Gosh dang, what a groove. You just don't hear drummers do fills like what you hear at 1:35 anymore.

[scotthogue]

The backup vocals were done by some guys in New Orleans that played in Metal Rose and Bag o' Donuts. Shannon nails this song, but they do give him a great vocal pad.

[LadySasha72742]

School House Rock! OH MY I haven't seen this in sooooooo long!

[williartman]

2 balls and 1 cock is 3, 2 labia a 1clitorid is 3, 2 women and a mean is a Threesome and THIS is the magic number ! :) hahahah just kidding just wake up in a funny mood ;)

[Peacetome632]

[MrArijog]

Shannon Hoon was a magic singer

[joaquincho]

[Mrsjcullen21]

3 is still a magic number to me!Long Live Blind Melon!

[flyvibe71]

10 people must hate rainbows, and butterflies, and they must like kicking puppies.

[chilleverest]

3*3 =9 still...3 is a magic number

[vinojustin]

[TheCroatiaKid]

It would have been cool if this song was 3:00 minutes long. Or 3:33 minutes long.

[kogcc]

i love Blind Melon's version of this song.

[TheHillslam]

Drummer is amazing in this

[NICKY752]

[pixxispad]

[s8nsmurf]

555. 666. 777 = factors of 111 stating tiangles as the basic dominant plane structure

infinite repeating numbers are the foundation of prime code. always represent the mid range two basic opposites.

[twistaj32]

alpha beta centaury 11 12 13

a e i \A = referensing with 3 straigt lines that form the basis for this 8 (infinity) dimensional super structure structure \greek derived from sumerian = energy

I numeral letter for 1 basic exponents original numeral letters werre based on the most basic prime number system

factors of 3 and 4 quickly meet at 12 being the middle of the sacred numbers

6 and 12 being factors of 3

[twistaj32]

the first three demensions are derived from the roman nemeral I is, closely related to 3. "I & I & I is 3" - is 3. is the key to the passage knowledge wisdom and illumination.

Alpha and omega is the original meaning of beginning and end e and a being original meanings derived from the ancient sumerian text.

[losingmyreligion6767]

Never realized Blind Melon helped me remember the multiples of 3... Every once in a while i still have to repeat the 2 6 9.. part to myself.. lol

[Strongwhite88]

@losingmyreligion6767 

[losingmyreligion6767]

@Strongwhite88 oh really? thanks for the information, bro. yeah you coulda just said "hey this isnt the original" but on, you took the mature route and ridiculed me for not knowing.

[Strongwhite88]

Respond to this video... this is a cover of the original idiot

[CaptainOlimar247]

0:13 skip to the music

[paisleybabee]

synches up perfectly! 

[meganb1226]

I think the count is up to 5 on the stupid ppl! This band, and School house rock, were meant for this song! RIP Shannon Hoon, miss you everyday!

[pinkfloydmama]

Ahhh i Love Blind Melon!!! I grew up with them and still rock out to them regularly...Long live these groovy tunes:)

[anjiaoshi]

What, no comments on the excellent intercutting of footage from other Schoolhouse Rock videos to fill the gaps? Shit is masterful.

[fatherofelderberries]

this shit is awesome when ur high

[kromerm]

Rockin' out with the boys 2day to Blind Melon's version of 3 is a Magic Number

[iriegnome]

This tune just lended itself to Shannon's Hippie vocals and the bands ability to just groove

[lovebattery100]

@iriegnome man you summed it up

[BigBlack81]

@iriegnome Real talk. Rare is the cover that actually beats the original in awesomeness but this one does. Shannon's vocals are the ones that make the song.

[hooniwonder]

I love love this song....thank you shannon and the b. melon boyz....always...school of house rocks......always.....<3

[christschilde]

the rockinist S.H.R tune, the melon rock the crap out of it!!!!!!!!!!!!

[treespunk]

[stankamj]

@treespunk hey thumbs up for this treespunk guy :)

[tynabop]

My husband used to sing this to me when I was pregnant with our first baby. Everytime I hear it, it takes me back 16 years ago. Very sweet times :)

[TheHouseoftherisings]

the people talking fucking ruined it

[coleduncan]

Too bad this won't work on an iPad. My kid loves it.

[boring5551]

This is my family's theme song :3

[Natividad57]

[aspacelot]

RIP Shannon.  We miss you.

[Aliceinchainhead]

People that doens't know about the people that sang this song...they came out with 2 amazing albums

[grekhann]

they used this song on 3 (australian telco) on-hold music, this song has driven me f..kin nuts as i've been on hold a lot lately with them.

[UnivegaSuperSport]

I'd like to hear MGMT do a version.

[lexyloo15]

good animation!

[johnbruder01]

@acrttdriver those were the days....captain crunch and cartoons....life is beautiful

[FarBeyondSYL]

this is my favorite version

[atbizzle]

this song is a fuckin jam

[FoxPlant2006]

The original version was much better.

[gilemal]

mit össze kerestem ezt a számot...

[TheDissident77]

efee52 its on a release called, "School House Rocks: Rocks!" came out in the mid-90's. Excellent versions of almost every song!

[efee52]

what album is this on if it is on an album

[xxbatman1225xx]

@efee52 its also on the album School House Rock Rocks!

[cottoncandy113]

Is this really School House Rock? I never remember it being this good. I remember in school when we had a sub they would put School House Rock on and everyone would beg to turn it off because we were so bored. We all wanted to kill the stupid talking diploma because we were so bored of watching him sing. We were in third grade and we all hated it. But this one is cool.

[Bobellz]

@cottoncandy113 Blind Melon version in case you didnt know : )

[katiesolidguimond]

Bullsh-t the Bears would be down 18-0 to the Giants

[Cazz814]

I always remembered this song more than others when I watche dthis and used this to study back in elementary song. Because of Blind Melon I will never forget my 3 time's tables. haha

[TwiztidIndica]

I wish they made more songs like this with multiplication. I woulden't of had such a problem with it back in school.

[FireComesDown]

cuz knowledge is power!

[dawg1157]

Such a good song!! Is it just me or does it have a much deeper meaning? I mean, more than just about the number "3"....

[omgchelley]

what douche bag would dislike this?

[Sylar03]

I heard this on a commercial a while back for DFW's radio station The Edge and I've been trying to figure out what it was for the longest, but I now got it. Awesome.

[lithium2370]

1 guys girlfriend broke up with him on 3,3,03

[qmiya2]

at my school they like this song my name is monta davis and you can find me at sun rise

[sammy63129]

Which album can this song be found on?

[thangQanime]

0:06 Knowledge is power! Has anyone else noticed the diminishing in number of these afterschool educational specials and good cartoons in general? There's a reason for that...blame the stations which now pander to these new slap happy programmers who produce shows to make our children stupider and make bucketloads of cash in the process...

[LilSteeyKid]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thats the sound of the ambulance wen i KO your azz BEOTCH!

[briant420]

@LilSteeyKid You're a retard.

[SpikeBrown55]

i wish i learned everything thru blind melon song and animation. i want to live in this world.

[lovealiceinchains]

"3-6-9"

anyone else immediately think of three six mafia? lol

think ima use this for my kid's 3rd birthday slideshow :)

[Dartos151]

I just saw that Sony/Disney picked up this tune for their newest BluRay commercial. Great to hear Blind Melon on prime time TV.

[melindaqgp]

If you wanna download this mp3 goto easymp3grab doht cohm.

[johnbruder01]

GEOMETRY rears its beautiful head in every single religion ever known. that is an indisputable truth. 3 is a MAGIC number. end of story. 

[FieraDevilWings]

"Somewhere in the ancient mystic trinity" Indeed, they might be referring to the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda games.

...what? Just saying. (It's three triangles, so yeah.)

[Joyisawseome]

After 11 years of knowing this song, but never knowing who sang it, or what it was called, I finally found it, and its by no less than Blind Melon! XD

For some reason I can't believe it! XD

[thexenomancer]

...can you dig it?

[FieraDevilWings]

@thexenomancer - MMMAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

*gasp*AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

AAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAAAHAHAAAHHAHAA

*laughs fade away*

Indeed, I just continued a Vincent Price excerpt from a comment.

Although you didn't reference that comment from "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, did you?

[Lukith66]

@buddersbidges which member?

[cheryllynnmc]

Interesting how the reference to the Trinity has been obliviated from this series.

[johndejordy]

@cheryllynnmc The original never mentioned God, Son and Spirit - the closest was mentioning "the ancient trinity"

[elmoreoocyte]

@cheryllynnmc

Someone should have watched more School House Rock instead of reading myths. "Obliviated" isn't even a word. Do you mean "obliterated?"

[johnbruder01]

@elmoreoocyte which one in particular dealt with spelling, einstein?

[cheryllynnmc]

@elmoreoocyte Someone needs to look the word "obliviated" up in the dictionary. It's a word. 

[KBAFourthtime]

R.I.P., Shannon Hoon.

[mweihing]

Love the number 3...however 2 works 4 me!

[Fektthis]

I put some heroine in my IV, again and again and that made three, after that i od'd, cuz three, is a magic number.

[nibornna]

@Fektthis dude do you think that's funny? cuz it's not heroine is absolutely nothing to joke about.

[Fektthis]

@nibornna answer: yes I find it very funny and clearly I joke about it. So here's a question for you as you found it neccesary to ask me an unsolicted question on my personal views. My question for you is do you find that you generally speak for everyone on what is and is not funny or acceptable? My that must be a great feeling always being right about everything. I'll save you a self-righteous rant here as well. I know all about heroin and probably know more ppl dead from it than you. FunnyStuf

[LittleMissb98]

@Fektthis You know, I know several people that have died from heroin myself and I can't say that I ever feel the urge to make jokes about such a serious issue BECAUSE of that. So, if indeed you do know "more ppl dead" from heroin, than you obviously didn't value those people or respect their memory. Secondly, if you're trying to make jokes on Shannon Hoon's overdose, it wasn't from heroin anyhow.

[thebjm1967]

looove shannon rip

[edslides]

i miss this shit. cartoons ever saturday morn and the commercials were "schoolhouse rock" ! cap'n crunch, and shit on the shingles for breakfast. (afternoons, pop had "branded" and " gunsmoke" and "bonanza")

then at 6.00. mom watched lawrence welk and hee haw.

[nibornna]

@edslides i couldn't agree more!! if it wasn't for cartoon network, and nickelodeon there wouldn't be any saturday morning cartoon's for my son to watch. i remember when i was a kid there was cartoon's on all the main tv network's. i think tv these's day's suck's!!!

[owens1531]

@edslides sounded like my household....lol...my dad would call one of us kids from another room and make us turn the old knob on the t.v.. and he's sitting right in front of the tube....lol

[woody2327]

@edslides 

[woody2327]

@edslides I watched it with either oatmeal or Rice Crispies with LOTS of sugar.

[Godsraptor]

@edslides man that brings back memeories....for me it was apple jacks but everything else you are right on the money

[DaveUrx]

@edslides If I could, Id give ya a hug. Makes me think that Im 5 yrs old again.\

[msvbf]

Increible como uno se acuerda de cosas... cuando las ve.

[bluehiway04]

This whole album is kick ass. I need another copy.

[flyvibe71]

such beauty, and perfection. jeff buckley does a version, but i think this is the best one by far.

[skip70]

your comment is pathetic

[skip70]

fantastic

[ponglaiwj]

Great stuff ^_^

[TheScaryRed]

Can this performance be any more dead on!? His vocals especially give it this authentic vintage 70's after-school special vibe.

[JustWatching6]

I love this! Blind Melon rocks my world, man.

[ElephantsinMud]

i wonder who played the flute part on this song. anybody know?

[somecallmebobbo]

tttthhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeee

[cobraetti]

[clebo99]

Everytime I hear the line about a man and a woman have a little baby I get tears....such a great cover. Great band that ended too soon.

[japhyryder66]

Me too, clebo. Because a man and a woman had a little baby I call my daughter. My magnun opus.

[MariAnKenobi]

This is 10X better than the original School House Rock version, and I usually hate remakes.

[shihlunchang]
