[worldwide714]

i'm against rape but the replay button had it coming

[Armydicked]

@worldwide714

I don't know what it is, but the crudier I more, the more I am understood!!! It's like when I was in the Army, I was told to go to the assembly in my barracks cap and I didn't know what the 1LT meant. He then said, Your OFF DUTY HAP and I still didn't know what he meant. Then the 1SGT said "You Know, yer CUNT CAP" and I said "Ohhh, you mean THAT one!!! Worldwide714 could have said I enjoy this song tremendously and everyone would have yawned; Now I KNOW HE LIKED this song!!!

[23mirracorider]

those 153 people are now dead due to death by bam-ba-lam

[ukwarrior89]

I named my first handgun black betty

[museman98]

@ukwarrior89 That's cool! Quite beautiful (as much as a gun can be!) You've inspired me to call my first car black betty

[Armydicked]

@museman98

I don't know what it is about GUYS naming inanimate objects but all guys do it. Since 1991, I have owned FIVE VEHICALS: 1991 Madza Miata 'Sexy Bitch' 1993 Madza Miata 'Skate', 1998 Chevy Blazer 'BitchBoy' (God, I hated that piece of shit truck), my 1991 Madza Miata 'ShowGirl' (a former ClubCar) and my present commuter car 1999 Madza Miata Sokoo (Sukakoo) Sokoo (Anyayo) Sokoo (Bed) Japanese Sex Worker terms for French, Greek & American. I'm not a Madza Freak; they just good cars!!

[larabina34]

@Armydicked I name mine alla time, and I'm very much a female :-)

[kingbob3009]

DAD: TURN THAT STUPID FUCKING SHIT DOWN!!!!!!

[acemisterxxx]

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard!

[finalcrash244]

[xXTeLeKiNeTiCXx]

I dial 911:

Police: 911, what's your emergency.

Me: It's a video on youtube, it has more than one hundred dislikes!

Police: So......

Me: ITS BLACK BETTY!

Police: We'll be right over, sir, just stay calm.

(Hears police car speeding playing Black Betty on radio)

[eckzo95]

the 1950's-60's gave us the likes of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.

the 1970's-80's gave us The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Clash, The Stone Roses, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Undertones... the list goes on.

and the 1990's-early 2000's gave us Nirvana, U2, Oasis, Green Day, Blink 182, Eminem, The Verve, Coldplay, The Killers, Bowling For Soup...

i am addicted to all these older, better bands of the past and i'm only 16. most of today's music just doesn't compare :(

[minitaz66]

@eckzo95

You know this is soo true and i'm 29 today the music is not the same : (

[korykrusher]

@eckzo95 personally for me its 1970's-2000's

[ultrakool]

i once dated a betty from birmingham, alabama. i was a tide fan and she was an auburn fan. once when i found that out, i dropped tha niggah biatch. roll tide

[nickelbrady]

Led Belly or Ram Jam not sure who made the song better

[peelercharlesb]

[Liton777]

i don't know why spiderbait even bothered trying to cover this

[Django5198]

never heard a bad version of this song

[CuteCatFaith]

I got this when it came out and used to blast it in my NYC tenement.

[shittyfagg]

@CuteCatFaith when you came out? Congrats man, well done.

[CuteCatFaith]

@shittyfagg I think my roomie had this record in a tenement we shared on East Tenth Street in 1977. I was 20 years old then and from Ohio. My parents were shocked I could share a place with "a man." Well, it was the cockroaches which were scary! They invaded his stereo, attracted by the warmth. No heat or hot water was guaranteed for renters in NYC in those days!

[funkymcmunky]

@CuteCatFaith hes a fag

[gertrud997]

SPIDERMAN!

[shea195]

this song is amazing who does not like this song besides those ugly 149 people.

[XXSilenceSuicide]

is this song about blazing?

[PBANDSNOW]

@XXSilenceSuicide The original song was written in the early 40’s during the height of reefer madness, so It might have been.

[popes0res]

149 people were eaten by black betty.

[TheTimmy2drinks]

[patagonia5rock]

@XxXxthecodgamerXxXx Too bad your youtube name already makes your argument invalid.

[DRACOA09876]

Bam-ba-Lam stands for back to kitchen im sheep

[debbieg57]

"Black Betty" (Roud 11668) 20th cent African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author. Some sources claim it is one of Lead Belly's many adaptations of earlier folk material;[1] in this case an 18th century marching cadence about a flintlock musket. There are numerous recorded versions, including a cappella, folk, and rock arrangements. The best known modern recordings are rock versions by Ram Jam and Spiderbait, both of which were hits.

[rexgrossman06]

i'm 74 and i never forget this song. i was fucking sady, a black chick, because my wife was mad at me and wouldnt have sex. so for 5 yrs sady was my black betty until my wife caught me. i left her but my wife still wouldnt screw me. so i looked for my black betty and she was gone. if your still out there black betty i still wanna be your white tom

[CCSCLT]

@rexgrossman06  You are a complete loser

[anthony88211]

@rexgrossman06 that's pretty pathetic might i say

[vapedbuds]

If i ever get into an epic fight where I've found myself facing countless ninjas, zombies, or whatever large horde of miscellaneous villians...this song better be turned to 11. And when im disemboweling and decapitating, you know that it'll get me real high, and thats no lie...black betty.

[SuWoopClutch]

im a bottle of water, my dad hasn't consumed me yet. i will be sperm cell in 25 days. i will be in a vag in a bout 27 days. well shit, like this comment if you're still listening to this in 2028.

Police: Why were you speeding?

Me: Black Betty was playing on the radio

Police: Oh, my apologies sir. (gives me a high five)

[bagger101]

[PieMasterX13]

[TheDarthax]

I am a ballchinian and I fucking love this song

[TheCymbiont]

I'm a turtle and I love this song.

[thijsson]

Why the f do people say sorry for this awesome song? My generation should say sorry for Justin Bieber..

[dawiedarling]

WoYaTzar, eff that, the song effin rocks HARD. 53 is HARD rocking

[ozone5100]

It's amazing how this music is still around after 40+ yrs. Today's music will be lucky to still be around after 5.

[ColinTheButthead]

Hahhaha! Derp! 2nd guy from the right haha!

[coldfarted]

@ColinTheButthead Hahaha. derp!!. the guy you see when you look in the mirror

[krille696]

i think i have the most spread out music taste ever, i dont care about haters, i like this song, i like through the grapevine by marvin gaye, i like 2pac, i like skrillex, i even like a few songs by justin bieber. i think music taste is indiviual and no one can hate on another person because they dont like the same music.

[jhodson91]

@krille696 totaly agree, except the justin bieber bit

[krille696]

@jhodson91 as i said everyone has theire own style, i just like one song from him btw.

[MaycerTheBat]

[sedgyify]

[sedgyify]

[slida65]

FUCK YOU FOR THE ONES THAT DONT LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

[immortal291]

longest.sentence.ever

[XenoRacing]

Thumbs up if you think the spiderbait cover was GARBAGE

[sirscrotum]

Im still a sperm cell in my dads testicle and I LIKE THIS SONG! All the other spermcells listen to lady gaga n shit.

[PieMasterX13]

@sirscrotum lady gaga is a good singer you just don't want to except that

[Msdistarr]

@PieMasterX13 I agree. And I'm 50 YEARS OLD (I had to say it). Anyway, the woman can belt out a tune like it's nobody's business. Granted, she dresses to her own drummer and she can be just a bit of an odd duck (no disrepect intended) but she can sing. Now I've never said this but I must: Whats-his-name Bieber, I don't get how people can possibly place his name and Lady Gaga's in the same sentence when they use that same old boring insult comment. It's Apples and Kumquat's. No comparison.

[Soulsacrificee]

@sirscrotum you are gonna win. let's go!

I just think it's fun to say bam ba lam
