Paul Simon- Gumboots

[Ukuleleboy100]

Urgh, so annoying that there aren't any tabs for this!

[SuperPanda1971]

Thanks for uploading all these from Graceland, I had it on cassette, but it went missing, now I want to buy it on CD, I had forgotten how good it was.

[Jimpeeterske]

[HoverponiesForever]

Paul Simon is a genius... Whenever I hear his music, I want to get up and dance!

[treejahone]

Went wild the first time I heard this song, bought the albumn the day it was released in Australia. 1986 what a year.

[Vulpecula101]

Gumboots= South African dance

[Sheldon66]

One of my favorite Paul Simon songs.....eventhough it's a little ditty....there is something about it that makes it great.

[natureboy326]

[GirMcDog]

I love Paul Simon.

So much. <3

[Sensaye25]

One of the greatest albums ever. Dope song for sure.

[seguso]

@Sensaye25 The other albums being? I'd like to know what other albums people who like this album like. For me this is the greatest album of all times, together with "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" by Iron Maiden.

[Aqualung1989]

@seguso well I certainly consider this album one of the best of all times, along with a few Jethro Tull ones, Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat"... I may include Seventh Son also... hmmm... Clapton's "One More Car, One More Rider" (amazing live album)... but well, in 6 months may opinion may change a bit, you know

[seguso]

@Aqualung1989 thank you, I did not know any of the albums you mentioned. Could you be more specific about jethro tull's best albums?

[Aqualung1989]

@seguso well, it depends on what you like. I mean, I don't know if you know Jethro Tull (they influenced Maiden, btw), but they have from some classical stuff to some hard-rockish stuff (you'll find rock, blues, accoustic, folk...)... I'd personally say Stand Up, Aqualung, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses and Stormwatch, but thay have like 20 more albums, so... search for "best jethro tull albums" in my channel, it may help u a tiny bit :P

[seguso]

@Aqualung1989 thanks, I'll check them out :)

[Aqualung1989]

@seguso oh, and I'd add "The Turn of a Friendly Card", by The Alan Parsons Project. Good luck, I hope you find stuff you like :)

[Sensaye25]

@seguso I'd say...Led Zeppelin "III", Michael Jackson "Thriller", Nas "illmatic", Electric Flag "Long Time Comin', 2Pac "Makaveli", Raekwon "Only Built for Cuban Linx", Elton "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".

[samlittle94]

@Sensaye25 chill list of albums

[dubconor]

@Sensaye25 Ive always said that aswell, as far as albums go this was gold..

[bddoglovah]

sweet song!!!

[OMGLOLWTFSTFU]

Homeless, Gumboots ... they're not long enough songs.. I have to keep replaying them because of their awesomeness :P

[lissak27]

"Believing I had supernatural powers I slammed into a brick wall." good line!

[GordDunker]

@lissak27 I saw your comment just as the lyrics came up! sync!

so true.

[Johansmu]

Amazing song :) Though, Paul Simon didn't write this, he just added new lyrics and saxophone's. But it's still totally awesome.

[lookit87]

Who wrote it?

[seventiesclassic]

This was originally an instrumental..same title..by an African band called Boyoyo boys..Simon liked it , wrote lyrics and re-recorded it..It was the 1st track he recorded for the Graceland album.

[anxez]

Does it matter? I'm pretty damn sure he went to them about it and asked for permission, or at least if they would go on tour with him. Since every other band that he worked with for this album went on tour with him through South Africa, He even brought some of them to New York for when he performed on Saturday Night Live.

[seventiesclassic]

@anxez

I'm not talking about whether he asked permission to record it..or not...just passing on some info...ok?

[wyskii]

lol chill there buddy

[Johansmu]

I don't know exactly, but I think it's some kind of african folksong.

[tuckingfwit]

It's South African township music jive made by the group Lady Black Smith Mambazo.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Only a matter of time before the WMG police get this.

[Aqualung1989]

very true... but no! not this time! somebody sent me a video to unblock videos blocked by WMG. In fact, when I uploaded this video, it was blocked by WMG, and I unblocked it, thanks to the video I was sent. Go to my channel, you'll see the video =)

[astrobopper]

@Aqualung1989 What is it called? You have a lot of vids!

[Aqualung1989]

@astrobopper I was going to send you the vide but it has been blocked :S
