Country Death Song

[SryaLane]

Wicked video! Seriously, I've tried with animations on the computer and I can't do shit, you're video is well put together and goes great with the song

But this song is so insane

[MrSoullicker]

>:) nothing for a man to do but sit around and drink......lol

[epicureus314159]

wow. this is really great. been a piece since you guys played tucson house parties, but youll always be one of my favorite bands and thanks for putting this on here. nice work.

[MrCigarman75]

Pure and simply, this should be the actual filmclip for this song. Bravo!

[AnnaTheDrooganLeader]

Fuck yes! I heard this song for the first time when I was 12, and I've been trying to find it since. I listen to Violent Femmes but I had no idea it was by them. Oh, the Internet is grand.

[grandmacaesar]

great job! (my kids don't like this song...)

[EmoFreak33303]

such a sad song.......

[rgruber88]

Really good animation!

[chuckiedoberman]

love this just came to me and forget how good this was

[kmendozagonzalez1]

what a great video for this song! i enjoyed the animation, it depicts the song nicely.

[Freakovski]

Funny!Remembers my 80 years german "U-Comix"....:)

[raehodo]

@PirateDuckyy I used to sing a similarly dark song as a lullaby to my boy, "I'm Stretched On Your Grave". Glad I'm not the only weirdo our there ;)

[raehodo]

Well done.

[vacuoso]

seriously crap. shite homage to a fantastic song. hope you know better now.

[Lukiel666]

very dark subject matter very beautiful song.

[JIHADJESSE]

you captured the meaning of the song well.

[doug4326]

The rest of the band should not put this writer down cause his mind has gone where no other mind should have gone

[kingdomdreams1]

this is freaking sick xD

[SweetNightmaresSteve]

I wish someone would love me and push me into a well :(

[TheMegaLoveking]

Fucking intense but brilliantly done the drawings make the filmclip seem dark and really reflects the bitterness of the song fucking awesome well done!!!

[PacisOrbis]

My friend plays this bassline -nonstop- at rehearsal. I'm about four repetitions from insanity.

[HRGKrew]

@PacisOrbis yours too? -_-

[johnnychaos91185]

@PacisOrbis At least he plays the bass. My bass player cries and wines until someone let's him play a guitar.

[PirateDuckyy]

this was the luliby my dad sang to me as a young child :3 love you daddy!!

[ACDCfloyd]

@PirateDuckyy that's a tad creepy.

[PirateDuckyy]

@ACDCfloyd no, my upbringing was a lot funnier than most kids, and it totally desensitized me from being weirded out/scared by pretty much anything

[97AlanD]

This is a pretty cool video.

[chrisrus1965]

whoa. that's really heavy man.

You think it's just a story and it is, but this must have happened millions of times to the poorest of the poor throughout history. Shudder!

Has this subject ever been dealt with before or since in any song, poem, book, movie; anything?

This is the heaviest s#!t possible. I think it's actually good to remember those things that everyone just wants to forget.

[pookievision]

This video is fucking quality!

[j0hnny8oy]

very good, the drawings reflect the the dark theme of the song perfectly. this is one of my favorite songs.

[Bacopa68]

Hope you got an an A and freaked out your instructor who had never heard this awesome song.

[DisguisedCarp]

True story.

[Wadeforming]

flippen awesome

[SlideAndDeuce]

This is just fucking brilliant. Seriously excellent job. Latock, be proud.You should be.

[molokovellocet06]

Most excellent video for a most excellent song!

[rikkijane]

great job on the video!



[GhostCave]

Excellent video

[LTandDS]

WOW! You guys did an incredible job! I think Tim Burton would be proud!

[1111165798]

good song

[captainstab2003]

i hope you got an a on your project!

[briodyjohnsean]

20years@i hear it the same day i find out im trminally ill viva bill hicks

[egarciasearcy]

Excelent Animation, I just love it..

[artaud23]

42 people are going into the well

[zero4092]

great band and one of there best songs...you did well i would have given you an A

[blackleatherrain]

...and here I didn't think this song could get any creepier. Great job. I hope you received high marks.

[MrBudrake]

ho could he live ith himself?

[j0hnny8oy]

@MrBudrake who stole your W??

[MrBudrake]

@j0hnny8oy my W key was broken xD

[netherlink]

Awesome video, great job!

[doug4326]

You know I liked to get F%^*ed up when I think this song will f#%@ you up.

[doug4326]

The only song more demented than me



[ThatDifferentDude]

I like this video. For those who are bothered that this is a disturbing topic try watching An Atheist Reads the Bible 3 Jephthah.

[PirateDuckyy]

my dad sang this to me when i was little.. :)

[stonebee87]

@PirateDuckyy That's kinda creepy...

[PirateDuckyy]

@stonebee87 yes but also awesome, screw baba black sheep and twinkle twinkle little star

[MeehKrob]

best animations class final ever

[BrownMaterial]

Wow! That was seriously dark and twisted! And I love it!

[Violetzhoodoo]

Really like this! I loved it when the kids put a show on based on this song... It sold out! You rock!!! Was it fun to do? Why did you pick this song?



[munkymusikrocks212]

great video man! hope it was an A

[BirdLivesInMe]

Is Deliverance a terrible movie because it has disturbing content? Is Stephen King a terrible author because of his content? This is a great song because of the passion and the great instrumentation. When the banjo and tempo kicks in you know you're in for something special. Creativity in music and other arts sometimes means that you put yourselves in somebody else's shoes WITHOUT being that person. Please don't be so shallow and prudish to see this song and video as anything but....peace..

[xcolorxmyxworldxxx]

This is very disturbing and makes me want to cry many many cries

[malfecto]

This would be the perfect song for the ending credits of Casey Anthony's movie...

[headfullufhell]

AWESOME!



[KalistiFive]

I love it, I truly do. I have loved this song since I was a teen, almost 36 now. The flavor of the song is really there. I feel despair when I listen to this song and every ounce of it is in your beautiful art.

[gronne13]

Great job on the video!

[eessccaralho]

which and the name of the program that made the animation?

[ciere]

Fucking love this song.

[timepope]

This song was a huge hit, and had mass appeal. That was just like... oh crap... almost 30 years ago. Dang I am old

[dragonbait205]

awesome video for one of my favorite Femmes songs of all time.

[Truthwillsetyoufree4]

wow this brings back childhood memories :D my dad made us listen to it in the dark hahaa! love it, thank you!

[antiC125]

NICE...PROJECT..

[kreed1]

Most Excellent vid animation of this song! And as all violent Femmes this was one of my favs as well...

[rustysaxophone]

LOVE the animation you made! Excellent!

[chabochi1]

NVER gets old!

[bklueve0]

Anyone who dislikes these guys is a complete moron. Jmo!!!!

[laslos3]

man...this is one dark song. lol. Ya'll should check out "those poor bastards too.

[wednesday72able]

Perfect!!

[timdunford1]

great great job. This was a childhood favorite for me..

[Alphawolfeone]

I get funny looks when I sing this at werk.....

[MrsWidlak]

@Alphawolfeone You think?, you sick baby killing bastard!

[Alphawolfeone]

@MrsWidlak -Would you like to see my Well? I'd REALLY like to show it to you.....

I think I remember you from 70's Porn, isn't your nickname Mrs.Widlak-Widelegs? O~~~

[chuckmgjr]

This song helped me through the depression of my daughter being taken from me. It is like this song is soooo dark it was darker than my own depression which made me feel better about my situation!

[mrqueticoman]

this is the most fucked song of all time omg

[carlosfelipe5150]

@mrqueticoman Cannot be any worse than Taylor Swift.

[BarrioPunkRock]

@mrqueticoman he was only 14 when he wrote this LOL 

[HeyItsAlliK]

@mrqueticoman Actually, it's really, really deep. What he's doing is killing his family so they don't have to suffer through starvation. You just have to really pay attention. The lyrics make you think "Well shit he's crazy" and forget that line "Nothing to eat, nothing to drink"

[benniebeeker]

@mrqueticoman you should listen to marilyn manson...  :D

[Jayfrost88]

This has scarred me like the "Machine" Song were the bees are working for the crows and stuff

[Jayfrost88]

UM...was he depressed when he wrote this one?

[musical789gigi]

terrifying and epic.

[kayoo6567]

this  is stupid

[MREL1M1NATOR]

This is a fucking amazing video!

[anthonybaldini]

friend me

[SevenOfNone]

Thanks for this

[2FaceUp]

[kizziahrs]

[ChartruseTurtle]

[daddyfatsaxohten]

thinking man's music

[HKTeeVee]

amazing.

[brklynbowlr]

Love the Femmes, and the video gave me chills. LOVE IT!

[MentalTeleprosy]

Abortion.

[WormTyrant]

One of the all time great you tube videos, I'm sure the band have seen it and approve, well done, it deserves more hits. And it didn't hurt of course that it is quite possibly the Violent Femmes best song of all time, besides Add It Up.

[bigshot9089]

im tripped out

[richiebridges816]

man this has to be the coolest video ive seen on you tube for awhile !!

[FlickSuicide]

Yeehawwwww!!

[thallium666]

awesometastic

[greymobvmp]

Never since small kine kid days did i ever think anyone would be equal to the making of a video for this song, congrats, you stand on a peak among great achievments aloha oi you sick fuck bwahahaha

[ANTISLANG]

awesome video!!!

[TheOlaf1972]

This is a beautiful tribute to a great song. Thanks for making it and thanks for posting it.

[inverhillsphilo]

greatest song ever written.

[isvartefaen]

Nice video to a great band.

[mrsjbreen]

WOW!!!! This is absolutely stunning. This album does not get the appreciation it deserves. This is an incredible song and you just absolutely nailed it visually. Congratulations on this and I am sure many future successful endevours to come!

[dakarlion1]

The second album of the Violent Femmes was a real disappointment after the brilliant first one, except for this song, probably my favourite one. Lyrics like "I pushed with all my love", how do you invent that? Thanks Gordon!

[femmesfanatic]

When I was first really getting into the Femmes, I played this song while riding in the car with my mom. After it finished, I asked what she thought of it. "That's the most depressing song I've ever heard in my life" she said. "I know," I replied "isn't it GREAT!"

[dakarlion1]

@femmesfanatic Great! I like your comment!

[MentalTeleprosy]

Best ever. I keep coming back to it year after year. Great Video and Song. I love you both as my daughters.

[endracismguy]

nice job

[Marchenland]

Great video!

[SJ22228]

agreed. you really captured not only the song but the folk doldrums of Wisconsin life as well.

[sdistk8d]

well done always loved the song you did it justice :)

[sakurasfullofcats]

When this song would play in the car my dad told me he was gonna throw me down a well xD

[theSUICIDEoption]

awsumest

[superwhuffo1]

I'm back again...man this is a well done video for this great song...it tells the truth about what can happen to people that believe in religion....

[w4lk4]

This was always my fav 'femmes' song. nice vid!

[moevanvera]

Amazing and superb. I adore this song and the animation is equally adorable!

[superwhuffo1]

This is based on a true tale in the 1700's...this is what religion does for people...

search: the dawn of intelligence

[lsnows]

Gordon Gano is a genius. This is a superb song, disturbing in its ending, but enticing in its lyrics. It grips you in its horror, and you take it to its ending. I heard that Gordon Gano wrote it during a break at school. Now, that's talent.

[MrsWidlak]

@lsnows Talent?! I suppose is you're a baby killing mother fucker.

[MrsWidlak]

@lsnows Talent?! I suppose it is you're a baby killing mother fucker.

[lsnows]

@MrsWidlak I don't hear you writing any music. Why don't you upload something. Until you put out something as good as the Femmes, you might want to keep your opinion to yourself.

[rentalife]

I thought the splitted -such acool band! the "Viva Wisconsin"-Cd is my favourite-like a best of album-GREAT ! Do they have something new out??

[VirSinDeu]

You did an amazing job. Thanks.

[LoudMouthSilentSoul]

that was messed....but amazing xD

[greasychoppers]

i fukin love this song. . . .

[LionessDeWinter]

Great animation! It gave me chills in a good way!<3

[johnny06096]

good for you jack !!!

[chr1ssboy]

Well done, you have made yoiutube worthwhile!

[kiketronix]

It is a very very very good video. Thanks for posting it.

[alevic63]

WOW! What an awesome video!  Love the song, love it!

[thePumpGr]

awesome video! one of the best i've seen on youtube and generally! :D (Y)

(of course great track as well)

[jlight121]

Songwriting at it's finest. Powerful. F'n wicked video to boot.

[mike390g]

Nothin for a man to do but sit around and think......... ill start killing my own kind.

[TheKatlovesScott]

omgggggggggggg i forgot about this song too! i love this band! THis was the first song by VF that i ever heard.

[TheKatlovesScott]

omgggggggggggg i forgot about this song too! i love this band!

[turtle435]

31 people have been pushed down a well

[emoislikecool]

@turtle435 Don't ruin good songs with you Thumbs up bullshit.

[kazama554]

uuggggly voice!!!

[saakoerertoget]

I am so impressed! Ten thumbs up!

[Moose1015]

I didn't think the video was amazing, but the song is mindblowing. Oh my God.

[Graubaer1963]

Genial gemacht! Daumen hoch!

[laminae]

I'm 37 years old. How in the hell did I miss out on this music when I was a teenager?

I don't freaking know, but it's time to catch up.

[elreykevin]

best music video award goes to the country death song by the VIOLENT FEMMES! Platnum baby! well should have..

[tammyninja]

dude great job on this clip, u perfectly captured the song.

beautiful

[tammyninja]

HAHAH classic violent femmes 

[iworavnagora]

no more violent femmes for me, sick bastards

[redcrowdemon]

You, Sir, are a gentleman of fine artistic temperament and creative genius. B*gger the A grade - you deserve an Oscar (But don't let such flattery go to your head - a certain understanding of the human themes of failure, disappointment and self-loathing are worth preserving for any future work you might do for the VF's, if nothing else.)

I've loved this song since the night they performed it live on late-night TV in '85. Jools probably. Video captures it perfectly... You'll go far, kid...

[MrsWidlak]

@redcrowdemon Yeah it sure is if you're a baby killing mother fucker!

[redcrowdemon]

@MrsWidlak The song is about mental illness brought about by extreme hardship and the tragic consequences that might ensue (or that's how I hear it). Surely as valid a project for an artist as any Shakesperean tragedy. Infanticide is bad, don't do it - big deal... etc. Doesn't mean you can't try to get inside the heads of the troubled souls who might go that route... It is a musical work of *fiction*, for God's sake - like 'Psycho' or 'Nightmare on Elm Street'.

[MrMoothecow]

@MrsWidlak its music lighten the fuck up?

[atari911]

This is very well done! Good job!

[JombaJomba]

Very nice work!!! Congrats and thanks!!!

[pseudocaveman]

Well done!

[littlewingforever]

Your damn right I like it!

[bjcc420]

awsumm

[mommieem]

that was incredible! best animation i've seen done to a song! i made an account just so i could tell you how much i liked it...lol! thanks so much for sharing your project and i'm so glad you got an 'a'...you deserved it! well done! =)

[DINGLE8972]

 Yeah.. Good Job !~!!!!!!

[OKvex]

@mommieem i agree completely

[TUBEROBERILDO]

Para Tuberoberildo é o melhor som do VIOLENT FEMMES

[tvcrunkfool]

did you pass?

[daisypeachy]

I took a short place with a man like him and should have hung myself in shame. MW is a bad man.

[jaspercdn40]

Great video, to a great song. Brings me back to high school

[shenron503]

I love it! Great animation and mood. It's perfect!



[Scruffalufaguss]

I lvoe this song so much. Violent Femmes are love.

The vocals remind me a little of Charles Manson's "Sick City"

[doom333gloom]

this is realy good!

[TheCityBoy310]

I bought this album in 1986... I still have the vinyl. Excellent job, hope you got an A++++

If you didn't, your instructor is a friggin dufus... You can tell him/her I said that!
