  • Sounds like Maynard says "I've got some HEY advice for you, little buddy" Anyone else hear it?

  • Oh and by the way it's sips of coke dumb ass he is pointing out the irony that he is being called a sell out by someone who is wearing vans and drinking coke. So before you go all lyric nazi learn your shit.

  • The song is about an asshat telling him that he has sold out and him telling no shit.

  • OGT equals original gangster tool or a person who like tools first album opiate EP in 1992

  • @FolkManWithChainsaw So a tool hipster? Gross.

  • whats OGT?

  • @BEASTAGEv2

    en.wikipediaDOTorg/wiki/OGT_(g­ene)

  • @BEASTAGEv2 Original Gangster Tool; a fan exclusively of TOOL's Opiate 1992 EP.

  • I believe this is about those guys who buy everything just because it's the "in" thing. And he talks of the bands he used to listen to "selling out" even though, they are technically "hookers" not in the sense that they sold their bodies, but sold their personality to become famous and how the people who act as if they know everything about this are full of shit and only buy buy buy because the media and other people tell them to. Not because they actually like it. I think this is about trending

  • Comment removed

  • @NephirKore That's cool, but this song has a pretty obvious meaning, and that isn't it.

  • Hey, fuck you buddy!

  • I just found out I lived literally right down the street from Maynard. Cornville, AZ. Holy Moses!

  • My penis loves this song!

  • @seymourschmeltz Shit, so does mine!

  • Cut the Crap! Simply a great fucking song!

  • so does anyone have any real insight on who the hipster is?

  • 3 people sold their soul for a record that wasn't as good as this one

  • This is about the government only wanting your money and the average man being hypocritical by buying into the scam, correct me if I'm wrong it's a great song.

  • Tony likes it in there.

  • saw this song live a few days ago.......AMAZINGGGGGGGGG

  • The lyrics are definitely close enough to get the message. and who gives a fuck about maynard. he is one piece of a group that makes incredible art. its the art we should be concerned with...dip shit.

  • Also maynard is kind of a dick. my dads friend has met him and isnt nice and i heard maynard is very shy and introverted.

  • @jjc19461 And that makes him a dick? Really? Just becuase he doesn't interact? Listening to Tool and everything Maynard has made, he comes off to me as an extremely realistic and unbiased individual who clearly respects the art of his music more than the fame that pours out if it. The only way to make his point clear is to shove it in your face and let it roll, or not say anything at all and let the music speak for itself.

  • @P1nku5floydu5 And I just joined the sheep, thank god I'm an atheist, wouldn't want anyone pissing on me for being ignorant...

  • @P1nku5floydu5 there have been tool shows where just faces the back of the stage the whole time and doesnt say one word. and walks off afterwards. doesnt seem like he is enjoying it one bit, but the show i went to at the izod center, he only spoke like 3 sentences. Tool are a great band no doubt about it, but im saying Maynard isnt always a "nice".

  • @jjc19461 I saw him live at Mohegan Sun 2 weeks ago, and he was dancing on the back platform, looked like he was enjoying the music. He didn't say a single word to the audience, but he didn't need to, the music said it all. Without a doubt was the greatest show I've ever been to, and I respect everything they do.

  • @jjc19461 he isnt nice because he doesnt like fake, dont know your dads friend but if hes kissing his ass he shouldnt expect a positive response, He doesnt even take front stage he doesnt want the attention he only wants to convey his message

  • @bbennett0829 well then maynard seems like a selfish bitch to me honestly. Thinking he is cool because he is against everything else, its annoying. He only cares about his band, himself, his mom, and his vineyard.

  • @jjc19461 LOL a selfish bitch? Why because he doesnt want to do all the bullshitting every other famous person does? He doesnt want attention how is that selfish? So he doesnt wanna be crowded around and adored all day long because he has no ego to soothe, that makes him selfish? You sound like a moron. If a man wants to share his visions and music and not be bothered why cant he be? He's not being selfish he just wants peace.

  • @bbennett0829 its not that its just that he thinks he is better then the "masses." He thinks he is better then everyone else. I get offended by that, you may not since your an idiot and can accept that.

  • @jjc19461 For one I am no idiot but thats fair since I called you a moron, but two I mean its all in perspective If he really didnt like the "masses" He wouldnt have a twitter, he wouldnt make funny sketches to make people laugh, he wouldnt be a performer. I personally just think he doesnt feel he deserves so much gratitude for what he does, He only wants to convey a message and open peoples minds not be treated like a prophet but you see it how you like.

  • sips of coke?...its sniffs of coke...dont post shit you dont know about...maynard would be ashamed

  • @theoneandonly713 nobody fucking cares, if you honestly need to worry about maynards judgement your a fucking loser. "Maynard" wouldnt want YOU to think about him, but be your fucking self. Dont be a fucking maynard suckup and sheep. he is awesome but no need to make him your standards.

  • @theoneandonly713 Actually man its SIPS, the point of that lyric is to show that the guy hes talking to is a hypocrite by drinking one of the most marketed drinks out their and yet hes calling Maynard a sell out. Thats the whole point of that lyric Sniffs of coke wouldnt make any sense for the context and meaning of this song. Maynard would be more ashamed of your ignorance and yet conveying like you know shit.

  • the lyrics r wrong

  • Just saw them in south fl. Seems like this is their opener everywhere. read the lyrics and tell me thats not some ironic shit

  • OMG, i'm a pretty new Tool fan, and i havent heard this yet just because of the title. Once i heard it i realized it's about something completely different, and i fucking love it! One of their best/funniest tracks=D

  • This band is simply the most important metal band of the 21st Century...Period!

    That said, all you argumentative morons, just shut the fuck up!

  • Show is charlotte was sold out but i still got tickets. They played this song and they killed it. the entire crowd was going crazy

  • @kbolick60 I WAS THERE!!!!

  • The font used actually made the song seem much more calm for some strange reason.

  • YEAAAA THEY PLAYED IT LIIIIVE

  • GF bought us tickets and we saw them on Jan 25 at the ACC. They opened with this song. I was never really a BIG fan of this song. But you gain a new respect and love for music you don't like when it's played live.

    Easily the best thing show I have ever been to!

    But Tool, Y U NO PLAY ROSETTA STONED OR VICARIOUS!

  • going to see them tonight in Boston so fucking excited

  • @ctierneysmc great fucking show

  • @FungusAmongus98 that it was loved them opening up with this one

  • "And a dope, Slipknot tee" I love how Maynard changed the lyrics now

  • They're opening up with this song on their new tour. I'm going to the atlanta show. It's gonna be fucking awesome!

  • @TheP1DJ

    Yup, saw them last night (Jan 26).  The opening is nuts...The whole show is just ridiculous.

  • @mikejamesalt in London? yee man amazing show

  • @metalgod2347

    Yup. Easily the best show I've been to.

  • ---Final Verse of this Song is --- " FUCK YOU BUDDY"-- 'Fuck you Buddy' is actually a Game invented by Nobel Prize Winner John Forbes Nash, the game is also known as "So Long Sucker" - there is only one way to win this game and that is by fucking your game partner.

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSss

  • And this is the song they open the 2012 Tour with....fuckin awesome. Cant wait for Toledo on Tuesday....

  • "All you know about me's what I sold ya"

    Probably the best lyrics of all time and the best public sentence ever uttered by any celebrity or figurehead.

  • The Hooker with a Penis is Maynard.

    Will do anything if the price is right.

  • 3 people are exactly who he is talking about.

  • Tool is the realistic slap in the face life needs occasionally :D

  • although he is insulted... what a lucking guy the hipster! the best band in history dedicated a song!

  • Aunque sea bastardeado e insultado... que honor el del hipster! la mejor banda de la historia le dedicó una canción!

  • My finger belongs anywhere but my ass......but If Manor says so, then so be it!

  • Consumerism @ its best. Leave it to TOOL to tell all of us to fuck off!

    I love it. They tell and yell it as "it is."

  • 2:57 to 3:06

    Always gives me chills through my spine...

  • Lets take a look at the first verse, where Maynard builds this accusing character: I, met a boy, wearing Vans, 501s, BCG's, nipple rings, New tattoos... This character is a consumer. If I'm the fuckin' man Then you're the fuckin' man as well So you can Point that fuckin' finger up your ass. The chorus is the "point" of the song. We are all part of the integrated system known as "The Man." "I sold my soul to make a record, Dip shit, And you bought one."
  • @beauricksmenefee don't forget sips of coke

  • @beauricksmenefee And he's the man becuase he listens to his own music, meaning he'd suck his own dick if he could. I'm sure he's got tattoos and nipple rings too.

  • Penis Lyrics.

  • guitar tone is perfect

  • Robotnik: Hooker with a PINGAS!!

    Tool for the win! =D

  • I love the intensity of Maynard's voice the first time he screams "ass" He doesn't even care if his voice cracks. The vocals just show how much of a "go fuck yourself" he wanted to give this kid.

  • I'd love to buy your new record, but you haven't had one since 2006.

  • towards the end of the song i believe the lyric around 3:43 "begging for your fatass dirty dollar" should be "begging for your 'feited dirty dollar" ;)

  • Lol the name is hooker with a penis

    

  • tool is like sex for my brain >.<

  • how may times did he say fuck and strangly i want to go out and but hi new record.

  • Best lyrics vid I've seen yet. Great work.

  • love this song. the ending part is one of the heaviest, most rocking pieces of music I've ever heard

  • reverse psychology at it's finest

  • what is ogt???

  • @Warpollo Original Gangster Tool. A long time fan of tool

  • @Warpollo On Good Terms

  • still listening to this in 2011 <3

  • Shut up and BUY!!!

  • I'm sold, now I've got scrape together all the cash I can just to buy the entire catalog of Tool, puscifer, etc ! How cool is that?

  • @WeirdAlyankovicGirl Tool  Puscifer A Perfect Circle

  • Proof hipsters already existed in 1996

  • @RmonSP ha ha totally!!

  • @RmonSP I thought grunge was proof hipsters existed in 1991 anyway haha

  • @RmonSP Well, that's the definition of a bitch made bitch. Not a hipster.

  • It seems to me, besides being kick-ass song, that it is a distillation of

    popular culture's "judgement" and "corporatism" of art that struggles to get

    past all the Wall Street bullshit.

  • I think this song is hypnotizing me to buy tool stuff....ohhh nevermind i was like that years ago

  • @MrOutcast76

    Uh huh. Desperation in itself will never yield a triple platinum album.

  • Ive always taken this song as a "kcuf you" to the music industry, and the over marketed, under talented money machine that its become, and the execs. who "point their fingers of advice" at Tool and such. Tool never has nor will allow any company/executive dictate what they release, produce, or write.

  • Not about us... it's about Maynard meeting some punkass, maybe backstage, maybe vip who knows but It is completely directed at one individual.

  • 3 people aren't the man

    

  • perhaps the best song to turn to. Maynard, thank you for putting it so simply

  • I got some AD-vice for you li'l bud-DY

  • People who like country music always say they like it because it tells stories. I like this story. FUCK YOU BUDDY! (and fuck country music too).

  • @JohnMontgomeryDoe not a very tool like attitude.

  • Reminds me of number of the beast idk why

  • drummer = redic

  • Maynard is talking to Us you know

  • @rsjokes that is fucking awesome.

  • I think he just wants to sell his record desperaty. lol jk

  • Dude, Danny Carey is a fuckin FREAK of nature. Tool is the shit, always, but Aenima and Lateralus are the SHIZNIT.

  • Whatever it means, Danny Carey fuckin RIPS THE SHIT out of the drums, dudes. Seriously the guy is a FREEEEAK. Tool is the shit.

  • these 3 dislikes was from this "ogt",with different accounts,that maynard sings about...

  • hooker with a penis= radio friendly way to say "bitch"

  • Tool: Telling hipsters to shove it since 1996.

  • @Kaousuu That is the best fucking thing i've ever heard

  • Shut up and BUY!

  • WHATTABEAST

  • Does anyone see the irony of "New tattoos that claim that he was OGT..."? Or am I seeing things?

  • LOLWUT

  • i have a penis

  • How does this have to do with a hooker with a penis?

  • @TheAwesomekman the boy is a whore, thought that was obvious

  • @TheAwesomekman Random names to get the brainless public's attention. Half the names have nothing to do with the song. I don't know if this one has a message, but its probably some kind of joke.

  • @NIN99Koala Actually, it can have a figurative meaning, like you (or in this case the kid who told them they were selling out) think of Tool as a hooker because you are getting your service from them (the music), but their actually the ones in control and end up fucking you over(because they have the penis). Besides, do you think people really want to listen to a song just because it has a strange name?

  • @yankmywanker Well, there are serveral Tool songs that have no meaning in their track names, but I can see what you mean with this one.

  • @yankmywanker wow. ..that was good...i agree with you, obviously we'll never be able to confirm, but i'm comfortable with that

  • @TheAwesomekman are you 10?  ever hear of a metaphor?

    it's a comparison without using "like" or "as"

    that hard to grasp?

    ok...well....see when he says hoo......fuck it....this is boring

  • stolen from smashing pumpkins cherub rock

  • @Fritheby What was stolen from Cherub Rock?

  • @PerfectParasite guitar riff

  • @Fritheby Which one? Because frankly none of this song sounds like anything in cherub rock

  • @Fritheby dude i love smashing pumpkins and the only similarity between this and Cherub rock is the use of a lot of distortion and low tone

  • I get angry when I hear this song. It makes me want to eat a baby and throw little girls into volcanoes.

    Maynard isn't a god, but he damn sure writes music as if he was.

  • @uiruu I used to dislike Maynard for his ego....

    BUT, this is his life. He needs to have somewhat of an ego to write and sell what he does, it's what people enjoy.

    He may even be Bi-polar.

    MANY, and I mean MAAAAAAAAANNNNYYY artists, especially alt' artists like tool, have some sort of personality disorder.

    Some are able to make money off of it.

    As does Maynard.

    haha.

    I know what you mean, though man.

  • @BassJitsu18 Since when does Maynard have an ego?

  • I just read the Catcher in the Rye for my English class, the main character Holden calls everyone "Phonies" and conformists to society, but he is one as well. We had an assignment to pick a song that relates to him. Tomorrow my class will be bombarded with Tool :) Their ear's virgin cherries are about to be popped.

  • @rsjokes ummmmm...ur gonna play this song for ur whole class? O_O

  • @octobillyplatypus I edited out the "explicit language" but the song will still had the same effect on the listener

  • @rsjokes i loved that book but i barely remember now..

  • "Pink elephant with a what?"

  • i almost feel bad for whoever this song is about... he's gotta feel like a turd after being destroyed by maynard.

  • @formusicplaylist1 it's not one person...it's all of the people that act the way they are talking about

  • Comment removed

  • Simply put, we all sell our selves short every day, we just don't notice it as much as when we think we see someone else selling out . Or an even shorter version is "my shit smells like roses because it's my shit."

  • @fuckyougeorgebush Yea, I often catch myself with the same ideology. You just have to stop and contrast/compare what you are doing to what you are "pointing your finger" at and if you find that you are on equal ground then stop talking out your ass and be humbled.

  • this is about chino from deftones btw

  • tool is stupid they don't know what they're talking about

  • @hansiscoolerthanyou ...Please...DNFTT

  • does anybody understand the name? i got the song completely but ya O_O

  • Best. Band. Ever.

  • LOVE

  • Am I the only one to draw the connection to "hooker with a penis" being an act of selfcritisism by Maynard?

  • @tkisb nope. but its probably not bad criticism, just a funny song title about selling out and therefore being like a hooker for selling yourself.

  • He didn't say nipple rings lol

  • Don't piss off Maynard, you'll end up getting bitch slapped lyrically

  • tool is simply the best.

  • I hate 4:34 thats the worst part

  • My Interperetation: Maynard thought the boy was a hypocrite because even though he is flaunting several corporate logos, he still says that Maynard is selling out. But when Maynard says "If i'm the man, than your the man, and he's the man as well", he's trying to say that we're out own governor, and we can only conform to ourselves.

  • This is just a playful song by tool, random story, really no deep meaning, but god damn, they're still fucking amazing especially danny carey.

  • @knawimsayinnnnn the song is a story lol

  • @GuruBabadesh obviously

  • Fuck you buddy!!

  • Fucking hipsters...

    This is makes me happy.

  • I dedicate this song to every hipster fucking douchebag out there wearing their ski hats in the summer and dress shirts under their sweaters. Fuck them all.

  • awesome..... 

  • What does ogt mean?

  • @TheDylan626 im guessin original tool fan back from 92 from the EP

  • @TheDylan626 Original Gangsta Tool, from the first EP.

  • Maynard is a lyrical genius!

  • It wasn't until years ago that I found the lyrics to this song, and once I knew the story by reading the lyrics, THAT is when this became one of my top three favorite Tool songs.

  • hell, yes. 

  • id let maynard go shoulder deep inside my borderline anytime...

  • @konzjustin lolololol

  • So, the song is about a transexual hooker? LOL
