Soul Coughing - 16 Horses

[HalcyonicRepose]

This song sounds like someone desperately running from impending doom!

Why run?

[kdmphotography]

um, yesah, ditto! SC rocked like no other....

[WildBirdNerd]

ARGH this isn't on itunes, apart from some crappy guy trying to hold a candle to this immense band.

[brandywinevalentine]

adore this song.  hard.

[healmond]

hey u kno i love this band group and if the others do too you really sould try an other band group called "MORPHINE"....u would like it.

[EarthFireWaterAirSou]

hmm

2. song i hear from them, after 300$(wich became my favourite immidietly)

and it kinda reminds me of a strange twist of gorillaz and Dandy warhols

not bad

[PacifistNL]

Does anyone have a guitar tab for this song. I would so like to learn how to play this. It's got an amazing melody...

Thanks for any help!

[GlassCurtain]

@PacifistNL the tabs are at soul coughing underground. Pretty much all od SC's tabs are there. SCUG dot net. click on "tabs" then "other tabs" It's the first one.

[PacifistNL]

@GlassCurtain Thank you!

[Ele3tricEye]

@PacifistNL i will find a guitar tab for you only when you admit that sometimes war is a necessary thing

[LucidEyes17]

I can't think of a contemporary artist who is comparable to Doughty.

[narfsuicide420]

Yall are fucking stupid Soul Coughing and Mike Doughty are gods among men end of story they fucking own if you think anything different your fucking brain dead and may as well kill yourself

[brandywinevalentine]

@narfsuicide420 you might be taking this stuff a bit too seriously... or maybe it's time for your meds or something. either way relax, dude, it's just a band, there are better things to get uptight about.

[Bundy1]

Awesome tune; great soundtrack!

[Cocksalsa]

Why does this remind me of the them of Important things with Demetri Martin?

[dogukan1985]

nice song... from the x files soundtrack...

[JacksVan3]

hell ya X-fuiles CD

[onevoiceunheard]

um, i've owned this album for about 10 years now...and i've never heard this song? wtf?

[Sevy316]

its not on el oso...just happened to use that pic for the cover

[onevoiceunheard]

gotcha. thx for the clearification. thought i missed some hidden track or something. : )

[WeMustBeStopped]

On the soundtrack to the first X-files movie

[spopt36]

@onevoiceunheard

Yeah, it's not from el oso, it's from the X-Files: Fight The Future soundtrack

[rancid2222]

I emailed the keyboardist from the band. He said they would never have splitten up if it was not for Mike Doughty

[pr00de]

yeah, by all accounts he's a major prick.  shame.

[rancid2222]

Why was this not on the greatest hits album?

[micahg99]

that's what i was wondering. maybe they especially tired of that hit.

[theshellmeister]

My all time fav Soul Coughing song....thx for posting! I first heard it on the X-Files Soundtrack, too! ;-)

[Hankd7812]

They remind me of a Dave Matthews Blues Travelers mix but thats what I thought ten years ago I compared Soul to them when describing them just my personal opinion

[WeMustBeStopped]

?? While I do think SC defies any comparison, I wonder what sounds remotely like BT or DMB about their music? Seriously, that's like saying KISS sounds like a Pink Flloyd/Beatles mix.

[ezekieloak]

I got one for you...

Tom Waits vs. Soul Coughing.

...With highest reverence for both.

[hamdemon99]

Doughty's singing/wordplay always reminded me of 50's beat poetry. The acoustic bass brings this feeling home. Then we have incredible drumming on what sounds like differently tuned snares. And this guy quoting everyone from The Andrews Sisters to King Crimson on the sampler, also playing simple chord progressions on piano/synth. You're right, WeMust, they defy comparison.

[sirprintalot]

what a fab song

[bigosss666]

love'd it in that soundtrack.

[LavvSun]

It came from the X-Files Fight the Future soundtrack. Or at least that's where I heard it first.

[lumenslittlehelper]

@LavvSun the original song is found on El Oso double disk re release

[davidchenault]

...Uh 16 Horses was not on that album. There are 5 people in the world that can do what I do and I'm not one of 'em.

[Sevy316]

i know, its just a picture. didn't feel like looking for another one
