  • WE WERE MERELY FRESHMEN. Man, that song sucks.

  • I want a MST3K Soundtrack Consisting of every song they did on the show. Also I want this show back!

  • Tusk

  • Ah...the original 4 chords song. Thanks for uploading

  • Tusk....also mike

  • Those three had great harmony.

  • WIN!

  • And people wonder why MST3K is my favorite show of all time, tied with Firefly.

  • Tusk is a Fleetwood Mac song that came from their 1979 album of the same name. The song's origin is in a guitar riff that Lindsey Buckingham used to warm-up. Mick Fleetwood added the tribal drum sound later. The word "Tusk" comes from an in-joke the band had after seeing a mammoth tusk in a museum. The large tusk became a slang word for "penis" in the band. Think about that when you listen to the actual song and Buckingham sings, "Don't say that you love me/Just tell me that you want me...TUSK!"

  • Crow's rendition of RHCP "Give it away" had me ROFL!

  • Why do they say "tusk," "toss," or "dust," or whatever the heck they are saying?

  • No, you're all wrong. They are clearly saying "DUST!" Just like that famous Fleetwood Mac song by the same name.

  • @Ashtar94 The "famous Fleetwood Mac song" is "Tusk." It's the name of the album and everything.

  • It's "tuss"

  • TUSK!

  • Crow's a pretty good singer...

  • When the aliens come down and ask us "what was television, and what was its greatest contribution to the culture of your species?" we will show them this. And they will thank us.

  • Tusk!

  • TUSK!

    (also, Mike)

  • toss-NO WAIT, TUSK!

  • TUSK!

  • TUSK!

  • TUSK!

  • TUSK!

  • I don't really hear a K sound. It sounds more like toss to me

  • So funny when crow started in with give it away give it away give it away now

  • I watched the Tusk song and them saying "tusk" still doesn't make sense....

  • @PointsofData It's a reference to the Fleetwood Mac song "Tusk."

  • @386D I know.

  • This is genius...

  • TUSK

  • Every time I watch this episode and see this part I'm reminded of the Four Chords Song! It just shows how ahead of their time Mike and the Bots were!

  • This video is absolutely fascinating.

  • Look, you collective heads of knuckle, it's "Tusk", not "Toss". Listen to the original Fleetwood Mac song if you don't believe me or the now 7,816 other posters who have pointed it out here. Another pro-tip while we're on the subject; before you ask a question, check previous posts to see if it has already been asked and answered.

  • Lyrics part 3:

    Crow: And the cat's in the cradle with the silver spoon, Little Boy Blue with the man in the moon...

    Mike: In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it...

    Servo: One night in Bangkok makes a strong man crumble!

    Crow: Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry, when I take you out in a surrey...

    Mike: We were merely freshmen!

    Mike, Crow and Servo: Oh Susanna, oh don't you cry for me! Cause I come from Alabammy with a banjo on my knee! Tusk!"

  • Lyrics part 2:

    Servo: Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane...

    Mike, Crow and Servo: Tusk!

    Crow: Give it away, give it away, give it away now! Give it away, give it away, give it away now!

    Mike: I've got a brand new pair of roller skates, you've got a brand new key...

    Mike, Crow and Servo: Tusk!

    Servo: Admiral Halsey notified me, he had to have a bath or he couldn't get to sleep...

    Crow: And the cat's in the cradle with the silver spoon, Little Boy Blue wit

  • Lyrics:

    Mike: Pow Wow the Indian boy, loved all the animals in the west...

    Mike, Crow and Servo: We will, we will, we will ROCK YOU! Tusk!

    Servo: Though they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles and they ran through the places where a rabbit wouldn't go...

    Crow: Gypsies, tramps and thieves, we heard it from the people of the town...

    Mike, Crow and Servo: Tusk!

    Mike: High on a hill lived a lonely goatherd, lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo...

    Servo: Here comes Santa Claus, he

  • @TheQuilanvos

    "One Night in bangkok makes a strong man humble"

  • Comment removed

  • This is absolutely fascinating.

  • If you listen really close, you can hear the 'SK' of 'TUSK'

  • I LOLed at "Here Comes Santa Claus"

  • Its amazing how well every song they sang fit! This is just perfect!

  • I've had this on repeat for the last hour or so,

    it's such a great song. This and the Final Justice end credit songs are brilliant.

  • Man, I love this bit...

    And I've always heard a distinct "u" and "k" sound in there. Never gotten "toss" from it.

  • Tusk!

  • LMAO!

    Gotta love how they can get so many vastly different songs out of this and still make them all appear to blend into the closing credits music!

  • TUSK!

  • I love when they use the movie's soundtrack and sing to it. Tusk! I think their "oh werewolf" song was cute.

  • I love Mike's headwear. :D

  • @JSteinman1944 Key not pee.

  • @boffo1962 I know I failed xD

  • @JSteinman1944 What's a "brand new pee?"

  • @VelvetKevorkian lol I failed at hearing sorry xDD I think i'll just delete that comment before I confuse others xDD

  • @VelvetKevorkian It's "brand new key." It's a song by Melanie, and she's metaphorically referring to a certain part of the male anatomy.

  • 1:22 that's some good harmony

  • Is it sad that I recognize most of these songs?

  • @SubbyP No. It just means that you are well versed in popular music (which means you get even more enjoyment out of it).

  • Why can't I like Twice? Or Favorite Twice?

  • I simply can not stop watching this...

  • I think "Give It Away" was the best part

  • I recognize maybe 3/4 of the songs, and I'm enjoying looking up the rest!

  • This and the credits for "Laserblast" should serve as examples as to why RiffTrax should at least riff a part of the credits for the films they do.

  • @WhackyWookiee Well sometimes they have Disembaudio sing along to songs in the end credits. Also, if you watch the new High School Musical rifftrax, you can get a piece of this during one of the audition parts.

  • Pow Wow, the Indian boy, Loved all the animals in the West We Will, We Will Rock You Tusk! Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the places where a rabbit wouldn't go Gypsies, tramps and thieves We'd hear it from the people of the town Tusk! High on a hill lived a lonely goatherd Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo Here comes Santa Claus Here comes Santa Claus Right down Santa Claus Lane Tusk!
  • Give It Away, Give It Away, Give It Away Now! Give It Away, Give It Away, Give It Away Now! I got a brand new pair of roller skates You got a brand new key Tusk! Admiral Halsey notified me He had to have a bath or he couldn't get to sleep And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it One night in Bangkok makes a strong man humble Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry When I take you out in the surrey
  • We were merely freshmen

    O, Susanna,

    O, don't you cry for me,

    Cause I come from Alabamy

    With my banjo on my knee

    Tusk!

  • Give it away, give it away, give it away now. Give it away, give it away, give it away now. LMAO!!!

  • These guys are genuis!! Love this bit!!

  • TUSK!!!! O_O it is tusk peoples, if it was toss they would say it everytime it was the next persons turn and they ALL say it at the same time randomly

  • I'm surprised they didn't throw in "Davy Crockett" or "The Beverly Hillbillies" (which sounds similar).

  • @MsMeepyLinaBean75 Or how 'bout "Sink the Bismark."

  • oddly when crow sings gypsies, tramps, and thieves he sounds just like cher. pretty scary.

  • When I take you out in a surry... Oh, Oklahoma!...

  • MST3000 FTW!!!! god i love that show

  • All tusking and tossing aside, I keep coming back just to hear Crow singing Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    5/5.

  • FYI in the "Future Wars" episode, around 1 hr 17 min, Mike and the Bots start making fun of the background music by singing "Tusk." So yeah, they're clearly aware of the song and it must be what they're referring to in this.

    (And I was on Team Toss!)

  • Anyone here seen my old friend John? Can you tell me where he's gone? TUSK!

  • TUSK!

  • TUSK!

  • on the annotated MST3K they also say it is TUSK.

    if you dont know about the song, for instance, if you are a 16 year old kid,

    you might think theyre saying TOSS.

    they are NOT

  • I dunno, I grew up with Tusk. I can appreciate Toss' humour, and he really kept the show going as the 'frontman' better than maybe anyone els could have, but Tusk just has such a hilariously unique st--

    OHHHH

    Yeah, it's "Tusk". Mac reference. This is borne out by WildmanWoodie's highest rated comment. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.

    ALSO MIKE IS NOT M. BISON

  • its a pop culture reference to a song

  • its a reference to the song TUSK.

    theyr making fun of similar sounding songs.

    there aint non song called TOSS

  • It sounds like they're saying TOSS to me and always has. I taped this when it was first run and therefore have seen it so many times I have the entire "song" memorized. It makes sense that it would be 'TOSS!' as in 'NEXT!' or 'YOUR TURN!' I think they did this during another episodes credits, and that may be the answer.

  • Heh, that's right mike is still a Were-Crow at this point!

  • also its TUSK not TOSS... why the fuck would they be saying Toss?

    if you dont know what TUSK is...man I dont know... you are just a kid!

  • @abombinreverse I always assumed it was "Toss", as though they were "tossing" the singing to each other. Tusk just makes no sense.

  • @frasierfreak92 thats probably because you are under 25.

    but if you listen to the Fleetwood Mac song,

    you would know where the joke came from.

    almost everything they say on MST3K is a pop culture reference.

    Thats the beauty of MST3K.

  • @abombinreverse Just because I'm under 25, doesn't mean that you can judge me, I'm very aware of Fleetwood Mac and their song "Tusk". In this context "Tusk" doesn't make sense, so shut up.

  • @frasierfreak92 hey, junior. dont get mad because your young.

    anyone who has actually heard the song would know.

  • @abombinreverse I told you, Don't call me junior... sorry, wrong reference.

  • @frasierfreak92 im joudging that by your username, 'frasierfreak92' that you are an 18/19 year old kid. Now, Im sure an 18/19 year old kid would know ALOT about Fleetwood Mac, but if you werent around in the 80's i doubt you would remember the song TUSK. This was a song that was overplayed back when MTV played videos. so you couldnt have known it unless you were there. besides, the joke is about songs that sound similar. There is no such song as TOSS.

  • @abombinreverse if you'd actually read my previous posts, you'd see that I wrote about "TOSS" meaning they were tossing the singing to each other.

    N.B. You shouldn't judge by usernames, I'm actually 16.

  • man! how can someone give this a thumbs down?

    you got a problem with this video you take it up with ME!

  • Here comes santa clause here comes santa clause right down santa clause lane...

    TUSK!

  • "Give It Away" did it for me

  • Is Toss vs Tusk the new Joel vs Mike?

  • @norsef It seems like it.

  • the K in tusk is obvious especially in the second one

  • Come to think of it, "toss" would make more sense, except that they don't always say it when switching. I guess I'll just have to stick with "tusk".

  • How do I find mp3iifffy to download this song? I was told to google mp3iifffy.

  • Ok, ok, you guys hear "tusk", I hear "toss". There is no way I want to get into a semantic argument with my fellow misties. I say potato, you say potato--Damn, they're spelled the same. That metaphor just doesn't work as well in print. Back at ya-"toss"

  • @stinkoman78 I still do not think they are saying what you think they are saying. There is no reference point. Maybe we need an upper level ruling on this (or maybe I need to repeat to myself that this is just a show and I should really just relax).

  • I may be wrong here, but I pretty sure they are saying "Toss", as in "I'm tossing the singing to you". It just seems to make a lot more sense to me, but correct me if I'm wrong.

  • @emmeta1012 I always thought they were saying "Toss", but everybody kept posting "Tusk" to this video. When in Rome I guess.

  • @Ryaan2000 "tusk" is indeed what they're saying. it's a reference to the Fleetwood Mac song "Tusk". "Toss" makes no sense.

  • @Ryaan2000 TUSK!

  • @emmeta1012 They are saying "Tusk" it's a reference to the song "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac.

  • @emmeta1012

    They say "Tusk" in tribute to Fleetwood Mac. :)

  • @emmeta1012 It's "tusk," you, like the song?

  • @egdeltur666 I meant "you know, like the song." Too bad I can't edit comments.

  • @egdeltur666 Well, I did like the song, but right now, no, not really

  • Comment removed

  • @emmeta1012 you are wrong

  • @emmeta1012 I thought I was the only one to think that, LOL! Back then I hadn't even heard of fleetwood mac until someone on here told me about him. Then I started searching for the song to see what everyone was talking about, and yeah, they're saying Tusk. Listen to the song next time you get a chance, it sounds very similar to the background music here.

  • @emmeta1012 Nope. "Tusk" as in a song by fleetwood mac that has a distinctive tribal beat to it that fits in with the drums of the end credits.

  • @emmeta1012 No, they're definitely saying Tusk. Listen to the song Tusk and it will make total sense.

  • Ryaan2000, thank you so much for uploading this. This is one of the best things from MST3K. This makes me laugh & laugh.

  • TUSK!!!

  • Whats 'tusk'?

  • "Tusk" is a song by Fleetwood Mac and the "TUSK"s that everyone is posting is just something from that song.

  • @Ryaan2000 - could be referring to the album of which the song is on. the joke being that after fleetwood mac hit major success with rumors, they turned around and released and album that well... was largely of the opinion that it sucked.

  • TUSK!

  • lmao! o wow i miss this show ty!

  • TUSK!

  • 1:23

  • Wahrwilf

  • 0:07 - We will, we will ROWSDOWER! XD

  • I remember someone made a video with all the clips and lyrics of the songs used....then someone cried "copyright" and it left us...

    TUSK!

  • TUSK!

  • This is genius...sheer genius. I am in awe.

  • Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry when I take you out in a surry!

    We were merely brash men..

    Oh Susanna! Oh dont you cry for me, cause I come from alabamy with a banjo on my knee

    TOSS

  • we were merely freshmen.

  • TUSK.

  • GIVE IT AWAY GIVE IT AWAY GIVE IT AWAY NOW

    Admiral Paulsie notified me that he had to have a bath because he couldnt get to sleep

    And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man on the moon

    In your easter bonnet with all the frills upon it

    ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK MAKES A STRONG MAN CRUMBLE.

  • @jessRLYCRZZZZ TUSK!

    theyre making fun of songs...

    like the song by Fleetwood Mac called TUSK!

  • Pow Wow the Indian Boy,loved all the animals and the woods...

    We will, we will rock you!

    TOSS

    Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles and they ran through the places that a rabbit wouldnt go

    Gypsies tramps and thieves, wedheard it from the people of the town

    TOSS

    High on the hill with the lonely goater yodee lay hee hoo

    Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane

    TOSS

  • Another good song that could've fit well was Lake of Fire (Nirvana). Think about it.

  • Oh! This was definitely the best part of that whole episode!! :D

  • We need a MP3 of this.

  • I can't believe I've never seen this one before! I nearly fell out of my chair laughing everytime they said TUSK. I love that song.

  • This is my favorite ending out of all the movies they're forced to watch. I almost died laughing when Crow started singing Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    Also, I think "Iron Man" would've fit in there really well. "Ruuuunniiing as fast as they can, Iron Man lives agaaaain!!"

  • I'd probably add one of those Africani tribal songs that go like

    "Eeeah-ohh Mother Af-or-ica"

    TOSS!!

  • I think another great song to put into this one would have to be "If I were a rich man"

    "If I were a rich man,

    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.

    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.

    If I were a wealthy man TOSS!"

  • Actually they say "Tusk!"

    It's a song I heard from an old USC vid.

  • Thanks very much. I was wondering about that.

  • It's by Fleetwood Mac.

  • i think everywhere round the world if your forced to watch a crappy movie and you have a group of friends with you you should try this in a theatre lol

  • That is badass =)

  • TUSK!

  • Rented this episode of MST3K last night, and I nearly died laughing when they got to this part. xD

  • Well, Mike and Bill will always have a futre in singing!

  • Smoke Manmuscle

  • Gristle McHardbody

  • Big McLargeHuge

  • Hefty McBeefchunk

  • Bob Johnson!  Oh wait!

  • Dick Hardpeck

  • rowsdower

  • The Canadian Nick Nolte

  • @mst3k54 Splint Chesthair

  • Bolt VanDerHuge

  • TUSK! hahahahhahaha

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for putting this up! I haven't heard that song in forever!

  • i can't help but laugh every time they say Tusk... but why are they saying Tusk, whats the significance?

  • There's a Fleetwood Mac song were the randomly yell TUSK! I think they're referencing that.

  • Tusk, by Fleetwood Mac. The tune sounds quite close, actually.

  • Big McLargeHuge!

  • Can anyone list all the songs they sing? Also, Werewolf is probably in my top 10 mst3k episodes.

  • Didn't somebody assemble a medley of the original versions of these songs,the parts that Mike and the 'bots sing,and post it?

    Whatever happened to it?

  • There was, and I'm sure copywrite was claimed and so it was taken off.

  • The list of the song names is back. Just that since YT started with their "upgrades" sometimes posts get dropped off til a certain number of posts is reached.

  • Rump Beefbroth
