[herseythepusscat54]

[slipknotmaggot00]

@grady49 that comment shows two things: one you can't spell, as well has being completely socially backwards if you are still using "gay" as an insult.

[graddy49]

I stumbled across this and all can say is....GHEY

[WhiteRolled]

@graddy49 well why dont we move onto another video, instead of wasting a comment space. I mean, you wouldnt want to scroll down to a bunch of hate comments would you.

[heatherobert]

look at that guy hemmer at that violin, he is just givin' 'er!

[leimanaang]

Someone on you tube just recommended this band to me today. Gotta say I LOVE IT! Fantastic stuff.

Cheers from Florida, USA!

[mysterymanx07]

Makes me fucking proud to be Canadian.

[Cangoosegal]

@mysterymanx07 Makes me fucking proud to be from Newfoundland! :)

[sweethappyness]

i really want fish and chips now!!!!

[Cangoosegal]

@sweethappyness lol

[evamber01]

This souds like a cold echo of the original, from the Oysterband. The song is good, but when Oysterband sings it, you really feel that they're "'up"'. This version sounds a bit more bored...I don't like this after hearing the real version.

[Kriibow]

The true version is by OysterBand, isn't it ?

[TheRustyBender]

@Kriibow, yes Oysterband did the original

[Kriibow]

@TheRustyBender , thanks :)

[goteggs1234]

25 people never got drunk to great big sea

[isit1984yet]

The world needs more "positive" like this. Thank you :)

[1ostinspac3]

fir some reason this song pumps me up so much

[TheMattswish]

Whats better than a Great Big Sea concert? a FREE Great Big Sea concert....

They were amazing in Halifax for the Canada Games 2011.

[marbelols]

Just saw them for the first time EVER in Halifax tonight! Fantastic!

[coolcomedy009]

@marbelols i was there too!!!!!!!

[stefansmom]

[jackback790]

i like the violin a lot =) it goes well with the acoustic guitar =) wish i knew more songs with that combo =/ i really like them =)

[TheThing88]

23 people agree with me that the Oysterband version owns this one.

[mrquackadoodlemoo]

[landyy08]

@mrquackadoodlemoo finally someone who didnt make up some stupid "23 people who dislike this..."

[mrquackadoodlemoo]

@landyy08

[crystalcanadiangirl]

They are coming to Canada in a few days but they're only touching the east and the west coast, I say they should come to Ontario too!!

[shotgunwedding199]

@crystalcanadiangirl cant wait to see them in Kelowna, British Columbia. Sorry to hear about the bad luck out there! hopefully in the future they will tour there for ya!

[crystalcanadiangirl]

[mrquackadoodlemoo]

@crystalcanadiangirl

[crystalcanadiangirl]

[mrquackadoodlemoo]

@crystalcanadiangirl

[tourettesguy2008]

[ryan332007]

I've also fallen for Great Big Sea. Songs like this are just so positive, happy-go-lucky. How can anyone not like this kind of music? :)

[raeofsunshine81]

I have Fallen hard for Great Big Sea and their music. They are a huge inspiration to me. I have since started playing music again because they inspire me so much. I hope that one day i will have the Great Big honor of meeting them face to face. :)

[TheKendraPittman]

I LOVE ALAN DOYLE<3 A MILLION HEARTS FOR YOU ALAN! AMAZIN ALAN!!!!<<3<3<33

[AaronS3222]

Great Big Sea. <3 Amazing, Canadian band.

[babysmur69]

[DCSOUSA]

[calamityshot]

[OKASHE3]

[OKASHE3]

[bullet4mehvalentine]

@OKASHE3 Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but that doesn't mean you should spew bad ones all over the internet just for attention. If you don't like it don't listen to it.

[silverofaheartless]

@OKASHE3 T_T that was a really pointless comment man

[Mamooshka196]

@OKASHE3

I'm going to thumbs down ... Your comment >.>

[OKASHE3]

[thespoof17]

[cherryprincessm]

[SythKohore]

IAM FROM NEWFOUNDLAND AND THESE GUYS ARE AWSOME!!

[nudge666]

i've never heard these guys i Australia, found them by accident looking for another song, it was an accident im glad i had, great music and lyrics

[rosssparrow]

@nudge666 ye they have been around for a while. good band

[meghanthemonkey]

you understand if you're a Newfoundlander :D <3

[TomAndrew9]

I've seen lots of live acts myself. These guys are the best, hands down. My favorite aspect of GBS and acts like them? NO DAMN AUTOTUNE! (in recordings, obv.)

[bigbang377]

Newfie rock! ^^

[tualha04]

what's there not to understand??? Awesome band. Newfies rock!

[sparkytrick]

When I say I like Great Big Sea, people say, "Oh you like country too?" with a smile on their face then they start talking about all this new country that is just pop with a crappy Texas accent. These guys are much more than country.

[shiauko]

@sparkytrick They're not country, they're celtic! And Maritimes! A genre all it's own.

[rosssparrow]

@shiauko amen. country blows. this is bomb

[MrLabelChannel]

@shiauko actually i would count them as Irish Folk : 1.accordion CHECK 2.fiddles CHECK 3.The night pat murphy died.....CHECK

[vanillafrapp73]

23 don't understand these amazing Newfies <3 Woooo Maritimers!

[Stammer6]

lol no one understands the lyrics in Great Big Sea's music, but no one cares because it's so awesome.

[agenda88s8]

@Stammer6 u understand if u r canadian

[Stammer6]

@agenda88s8 I'm a Canadian. A dang proud one, too. But I still can't understand them XD

[herecomesxthesound]

23 people got confused

[ATeamsHannibal]

THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO PERK ME UP, THIS SONG ESPECIALLY

[septje]

Great song, crap film clip! I wish I had not seen it!

[TheEarthwormMatt]

23 people drowned in the Great big sea!

[allendupras]

@TheEarthwormMatt idk drownding in the great big sea seems like a great thing!!! great music !!

[PKM113]

I've loved this song since I was five. And it just gets better every time I hear it. Eleven years later, here I am.

[SHINeeallthetime]

:) it stuff like that actualy makes me proud of were i`m from:)

[Theeaudienceofone]

Them Newfies know how to rock

[SchaapWOS]

For some reason the violin part reminds me of "Home For A Rest" by Spirit of the West. Also Canadian, and also awesome! Yet, GBS is way better!

A great big AWESOME from Holland! :D

[notanasian]

Im Canadian....and idc bout JB....hollywood can keep him....great big sea is 1000000x BETTER!!!!!!

[iluvyou123100]

Eh! These guys are amazing. When I talk about them at school, Only the teachers know xP Go Newfoundland!

[xSpinningChair]

Gonna see them in a few weeks! So excited!!!!

[flyyspit]

FUCKIN Newfies...

Hows she by's

[lukechalaudio]

[Bouncyheart]

2:51 -_-

[msUnicornsex]

[1nicknick599]

[JCSJBoxer]

[SkittlesNL]

@JCSJBoxer newfoundland

[Goalieking30]

A very successful Canadian band! I'm proud to be Canadian!

[slimeytoes]

Parody of the Huddsucker Proxy... outstanding video

[emiqt]

My mom says, you used to be able to see these guys for free downtown, but then they started to doing concerts up away and now its very rare you they do a free concert anywhere, my mom used to party with these guys, lead singer told her that she kept the club alive :p

[foreverfalling86]

@emiqt They actually just had a free concert in Toronto. Actually...it's today! :P I know people who are working the venue.

[DeSTRoYeR992]

@emiqt ur mom is fuckin liar lmfao

[Klickthemaster]

when that guy got slapped, he looked more confused than anything.

[spiceyworkoutgal]

I love your music!

[Ottawa193]

This is the first time I've listened to these guys...so many wasted years...

[Etigress]

GREAT CANADIAN BOYS!!

[lovey112670]

love these guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrPowerring]

GBS has HUGE talent in the band. They are Newfoundland's single greatest export.

[sexloveandrocknroll]

They're awesome live- so charismatic, killer stage presence.

[Bus7777]

21 people like Justin Beiber.

[RayX77]

@Bus7777 it's now 23, bieber mania expends faster then we anticipated

[SCRulerShinoda]

@Bus7777 mercer's law invoked.

[TheKinger91]

@Bus7777

Dude, enough with Bieber hate comments. This is Great Big Sea, not Bieber leave him out of it. You're probably a closet Bieber fan anyways.

[Bus7777]

@TheKinger91 So me posting a hate comment makes me a Bieber fan? That's fubar.

[merci83]

@Bus7777 what has Justin Bieber got to do with this?

[peel432]

What's with the aliasing in this video?

It's so weird.

[brandonlogan11]

I'm gonna assume we have all of the Atlantic provinces gathered here.

[ISwearIAmNot18]

I love how they're surely hundreds of feet above ground and they keep teasing the edge.

[catfishwithrainbows]

My son (age 4 soon) ABSOLUTLY LOVES great big sea!

Truely music for your heart brain soul and it really makes you bunce in your seat!

[eagle416]

dunno.. I like the Oysterband version more.

[emberscatsootie]

I have seen them 20 times live in concert and I believe they did this song every time.

[CetasWind]

Ah, Great Big Sea. What rock did I live under until last year?

[kylekelly123]

good ol' newfy boys!!

[kendallbob]

erica jerked her stubby peen to this shit.

[Klickthemaster]

damn. I wish I would of thought of copywriting the stickman,

[jcorporon]

I'm going to see them for the 2nd time, love them! I first saw them in North Bay Ontario about 6 years ago(give or take a few years)and now that i live in Alberta they are coming to Grande Cache on sunday, never thought they would make it to this town as its so small!!

[ogolow]

I would love to see thses guys in concert makes me feel like i'm down home again

[JVstillHere]

My favourite GBS song, love this band

[CrazyCandyFreak]

cant wait to see them at bluesfest!

[saavik8]

@CrazyCandyFreak

it was such an awesome show ^_____^

[ConverseAllStarXD]

...i love how this video has nothing to do with the song xD

[mostdishonorable]

GBS rocks, they make you proud to be a Canadian, going to see them this Fri at Blues Fest WOOT WOOT!!!

[PoLkAdOtS124]

@mostdishonorable ME TOO !

[nougly123]

This is probably by far my favorite song of Great Big Sea that i've heard up to date.

I don't know why i just really liked this song after i heard it. and i agree with trooper341 GBS is one of the best bands in my opinion.

[sonique291]

saw them canada day 2000 central park ny. really good

[blueaddyice]

gbs is the best band ever!!! :P

[03kenseth]

great song, Doyle has a unique voice. this is a great band

[Burncourtable]

I love the intersection of Irish and Canadian culture and you can hear it in the music. i was born in Ireland but i love these guys

[lgcrooks]

Great version. But, of course, it is an Oysterband song!

[algonquinpaddler62]

A newfie told me a joke once ... How many mainlanders does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one! Hahaha

[maplestoryman77]

Alan Doyle (Great Big Sea Lead Singer) is my 4th cousin. He Rocks!

[iriebaby]

@maplestoryman77

Alan is my 2nd cousin! So that must make you and I related somehow, lol.

[xSylightx]

Live they're better, but it's still a great song

[SelingersMusic]

Fawck

[Robopencil]

Front man is in the new Robin Hood movie because Russel Crowe and him are good friends.

[HHollyMMarie]

one of my best friends said im not allowed to like Great Big Sea because im a "Damn main-lander" lmao hes newfie of course....and only islanders are allowed to listen to them mahahaha

[tango2470]

@HHollyMMarie I like great big sea and im a BCer!!!!

[HHollyMMarie]

@tango2470 proving my buddy wrong one comment at a time! :P

[Sporepikminaddict]

best band eva. i guess they got unlucky?

[Cynabunnie]

I can't imagine someone not liking GBS... what music is better?

[1nicknick599]

@Cynabunnie JUSTIN BIEBER!

[TashaDog124]

I love this song! I remember singing along to this with my dad as we drove down the Cabot Trail! =)

[zezimacoco]

I live in Nova Scotia and I don't like them very much.

[woolridge7]

@zezimacoco who the shit said you had to ?

[DrFaciliersShadow]

@zezimacoco course you don't your from Nova Scotia, your like poser Newfs down there

[DrFaciliersShadow]

@zezimacoco

A) calm down, if your gonna post something on the internet expect rebutals or don't post anything at all

B) I say newfs because i don't like the term Newfie and newfoundlander's too long and

C) from my experience of being in Nova Scotia (especially in Cape Breton) is that your like Newfoundlander's but not quite and either love or hate our music and you try to be like us yet not like us at the same time ergo posers.

[SalohcinSilverwing]

I'm American, and I love these guys' music. Forget rap and hip-hop, take Great Big Sea.

[zarbar2]

@SalohcinSilverwing Rap and hip hop have their high points too. That's not fair to degrade another type of music, just because you prefer one over the other.

Great Big Sea is amazing! I saw them live once... they are just as good live!

[109butwhy]

i love this band. it is soo awsome

[danielchew185]

GBS is like their name. GREAT!!! I only wish they could come down to malaysia for a concert.... =(

[newfygirl61]

GBS rocks..yes they are from Newfoundland..I am proud to be a Newfy also!!

[thehighesthippie]

Jg129- yea!! Port alberni purebred right here!! Long live the west coast!!

These guys are sweet I had forgot about them till I saw the come to nova scotia commercial with them in it lol canaidian bands just sound better to me haha

[saraheberle14]

ohmygod you guys r so nice! my cousin is sean mccann, and i admire u guys for your dedication and support towards the band, and ill make sure he and the band knows that you all care!!

[start690193]

hahaha when i was on a trip with my class, we were all sad during free time cuz all the gym equipment was broken and it was raining. Me and my bud just started singing. we got the entire class to get dancing, and the teacher brought in the cd player and played it and it was just awesome. :)

[penguinhardy]

Born: Calgary

Now live in a boring town called Amherst NS, The only good thing about being here is AMAZING Architecture, nice people.

I miss Calgary. But being here has made me listen to Newfie music. I like this song.

[santiano42]

This was on in the room next to me while I watched Alien for the first time.

I just can't for the life of me get either out of my head when one of them's on!!

When I'm up I can't get do-SPLAT!
