  • This song was played during the St. Louis Blues v Bruins game last night. Forgot all about this song. Gotta love it considering I'm a huge 311 fan.

  • well duh nick is in the video..helped write the song with steve!! morons!!! a true fan would know these things by now!

  • JUMP RIGHT IN MY BED

  • wow. havent heard these songs in sooo long. ive been away from stl for a long time. looking up fpm next :D

  • seriously? They are really getting back together? Only if alot of the 90s bands would, there would be a return of really good music to this century!!!!

  • me too! Can't wait...only 3 days now!!

  • I will be at the Pageant in the Loop 8 days from now!!!!!!

  • How did I not know that Nick Hexum was the voice I loved so long ago? NO WONDER I love this song. I've always know it was The Urge... Now I know why I love it. <3 Nick's Voice!

  • These guys just got back together, and are recording a new album. Spread the word folks.

  • @espacho hell yeah!!

  • I almost peed my pants when i saw Nick Hexum in this video! I fucking ADORE him and 311 :D

  • 311's main singer is in this!!! 311!!!!!!

  • I was able to see them not only play, but get signed the night they played in Fort Wayne,IN. At a place called Pieres. It was 96 and i was 18 and this girl I was banging,her mom did lights at the club and she smuggled my ass in an i got free drinks all night. Then that following summer I got to see them open for 311 at this hole in the wall called The Garage in Cinnci. Im 35 and that is up there with my top 5 memories of my life. By the By, I smoked out with both bands!

  • this song is a good

  • the lead singer, steve, just opened a hot dog shop in the hill neighborhood in st. louis... OM NOM NOM

  • These guys always put on the BEST LIVE SHOWS I've ever been to. So glad they just reunited. ptmfus!!!!

  • They were AWESOME at Pointfest in St. Louis!

    They are from St. Louis!

  • I wanna ride on one of those poles.

    That's what she said.

  • I went to Pointfest the other night w/ my boyfriend and we saw The Urge...They announced that they're getting back together!

  • Play that muthafuckin' urge shit!

  • Wow I discovered this tune on a sampler CD I won on a local radio when I was 16 and I praised this little wonder as a special part of me for so long. I used to appropriate myself weird little part of earth back then. SO FRESH! :')

  • NICK HEXUM!!!!

  • this is one of those songs that i ALWAYS stop at when i shuffle my ipod

  • I've heard this song like, a million times but, this is my first time ever seeing the video. It's kinda weird. But, I can dig it. Great song! Wish Nick was in it more though.

  • OH hell yeah, I will finally get to see the URGE live. I didn't think I would ever get to. The URGE and Cake on the same ticket it will be a great day.

  • headlining point fest is st.louis oh yeah

    

  • @drizzleownsyou and HURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

  • @KarlaFish saw hurt like 4x aready and they never fail to impress. did you go to the point fest like 3 maybe 4 years ago when the singer climbed to the top of the speakers? it was so cool.

  • @drizzleownsyou haven't been to PointFest before (I live in Arkansas), but I've seen HURT 3 times in St. Louis and 16 times altogether ;) best band in the world!!!!! :D

  • Glad they got together again, I may see them sometime before they decide to quit again.

  • the urge got back together!

  • GREAT RAP METAL SONG!!!

  • This song is about the gondaherpasyphlaids.

  • 0:40 raiden?

  • We definitely need more positive music like 311 and The Urge , too bad most of the new music is crap...maybe I need to stop complaining and start creating my own music

  • NICK HEXUM!!!! hahah 311 and the Urge I can dig it!

  • Best live band I've ever seen in concert, and I've seen plenty! Seen them play arenas, seen them play clubs, they rocked no matter where they played and were the most energetic bunch of guys I've had the privilege to see live!

  • That chick is hot! When I was younger, that shot with her in the hat always reminded me of RAIDEN.

  • 1:37 LOL swinging on sticks...must've been fun making this video

  • All I have to say is Ranch Bowl, Omaha, 1995. Roger the Sound Guy in his awesome sweatpants, R.I.P. You could walk into the snow completely ignorant to the ways of The Urge, but by the time you walked out you were a sweaty mess. Most incredible live show I have ever seen...a dozen times.

  • It's simply perfect.

    All elements of this video and song they have stewed to perfection.

    I don't even know the lyrics but I bet if I did they would only add to the perfection.

  • This was the best~ I was 19 when this song came out and I listened to it all the time...those were such good times. The sound of this is kick ass magic, and the lyrics are so relatable, how can ya now get sucked in by such awesomeness. It's a late 90's classic~ I just LOVE it!

  • love this song. the videos is totally nineties. reminds me of high school.

    not  to sound like a nerd but at the very end nick hexum sings "jump right in from the uuurrrge"-last line and he lets the urge drag on nicely,i always liked how it sounds. unfortunatly in this vid you can't really hear it. Still super awesome to hea it after ten years! been in my head for that long :-)

  • @theMasterYehudi Same here! I remember waiting impatiently for it to come on THE BOX Channel!

  • @iYEMTheGreatest dude, the box was the coolest!

  • @SoulOnDeparture666 Yes, The Box KILLLLS MTV and VH1 any day =); straight independent or commercial garbage all day, played on the behalf of the demand of the people...NOT SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS BY THE BIG CORPS.

  • @iYEMTheGreatest agreed, and it felt so awesome when you called in to pick a song, and the little phone icon would pop up in the corner of the screen and show the numbers you put in! haha what a trip. the end of THE BOX was the start of the decline of actual music television

  • @SoulOnDeparture666 Most def!

  • The urge and 311,

    Both of them inspire me to be a better musician.

  • @RainKrewskater and sugar ray.

  • thumbs up if this video makes you proud to be from St. Louis....

  • @hoffa58 we have a much better musical heritage to be proud of.

    dazzling killmen for instance. pave the rocket...lots of great bands from stl.

  • I found this CD (Master of Styles) buried in a box last night...and listened to the whole thing like 3 times already. Forgot how tight it was.

  • My older Brother first played this for me (YEARS AGO) on a sample C.D. At the time I liked it, however, I couldn't appreciate the message in the song until years later. Thanks Ryu.

  • @jorgeeus there is another song that features Nick Hexum. Sugar Ray's -- Stay On

  • Holy fuck, this brings me back! Awesome!

  • jerry has hair, never seen that much on him.

  • The Urge fucking rocks-period. 

  • sounds like Red Hot Chili Peppers

  • @robertle319 yea it does...but a lot of bands from the mid 90's had this sound. 311's got it too. Sublime....Eve 6....it's like rock reggae. love it. so much better than the garbage on the radio now. you ever wonder if our kids...20 years from now...will be listening to what their kids like and saying, "man whatever happened to kesha? THAT was music!"

  • @rusty73581 NEVER!!!!! Anyone can sing into a computer. That takes noooooooo talent and it will always be seen as that. This is actual music cause it takes years to master these instruments as well as they did and to sing as well.

  • This song is from the 90's and I don't know why but...today that song came to my mind,

    I got home and searched it in youtube and finally I know the video and featured Nick Hexum from 311. wow.

  • I said it on another one of their videos but I'll say it again...how this band did not become more popular than they did is a sin. A hidden gem for sure.

  • ive been an urge fan forever, and never knew nick hexum was featured in this until now, over 10 years later hahaha

  • I haven't heard this underrated tune for a long time since '98. I love the trumpets in the chorus.

  • Comment removed

  • About 12 years ago, I caught the last 15 seconds of this video late at night on MTV and never saw it again. But the hook was so catchy that I wanted to know what it was. All I remembered was that it said it was somebody featuring "Nick Hexum from 311". It might have actually said "The Urge Feat. 311" even though it's only Nick. Anyway, I couldn't remember the name of it, or the band, or the hook. So for a decade I've been tortured. And today, FINALLY, I found the tune!

  • @joeromel1 and i know it's been one of the songs that have played in your head for years and you had no idea what it was for the longest

  • @joeromel1 I would highly suggest you looking for some used cd's of theirs then. Each album is full of great songs. Heck you could probably get it from itunes.

  • @joeromel1 i had the exact same experience with "Now that I am Blind" by Deathray. youtube saved my life.

  • @joeromel1 Congrats man! Consider yourself lucky. I used to listen to this song way back when, and totally forgot about until this past year.....so its been 15 years easily

  • 0:01

    

  • Nick Hexum from 311! Awesome except the song is about AIDS

  • @codymasterswhatuwant Its not about aids...its about having sex with a chic without protection and having the thought in the back of your mind what if...

  • Nick Hexum?

  • @menace6699 yea I had no idea he collaborated with them and this song is an old jam. Makes sense listening to the song tho i guess

  • I gotta say it, this is a dumb video but I looove this song! The whole album is great.

  • Killer Band, Killer Video.. SUCKS ASS ITS ONLY ON VEVO!!!.. F this Freezing Up shite!

  • I actually met the fellas from The Urge a number of years back and hung out with them in their tour bus after the show. Great musicians and real fun people to be around.

  • I swear to fucking god vevo i will kill whoever invented this cause it is freezing the hell out

  • its how we do in the Lou. Go RAMS!

  • turn to fly is better =P

  • lol @ nick hexum

  • Comment removed

  • Just happen to stumble on this video..man this is cool!

  • why hate vevo cause you have a shitty computer? my ASUS runs it fine and the quality rapes my eyes lol

  • St. Louis, hell yes!!!

  • @USINFANTRYMOS11CNRNS I remember hearing this song all the time back in the 90's from all my friends in St. Louis. I used to love this song.

  • damn where they hell have i been this song is awesome lol

  • I just installed DirecTV for Jeremy. I guess the band is still together.

  • Karl,

    Penny Barnicle is waiting to making you a fresh plat eof "flap-jacks":)

  • P.T.M.F.U.S.

  • Everybody from my era always says they miss the 90's. Well i miss the 80's & 90's. Everything was so much more creative back then. Just like this video here. Nowdays all we have is lada gaga justin beiber and the no talent CRAP like that. What a shame

  • @TwistedRadioHead01 Well, to be fair there is still amazing music being made...the difference between now and then is all the amazing stuff is buried under the crap...whereas the cream rose to the top back in the day...in this day in age it is held under because it's about image and not talent.

  • i forgot hexum was in this video

  • 90's Hexum always makes me smile.

  • this whole album is awesome

  • @1VC4U Yes it does!!!! Wish they had stayed with it!!!

  • What how could it be nick hexum? Impossible, this is ska not rap!

  • @MattL883

    311 took them on tour.

  • @MattL883 Old school Hexum raps alot more than Steve Ewing did.

  • The other singer looks EXACTLY like nick hexum from 311.

  • @MattL883

    cause it is guy.

  • @MattL883 it is Nick!

  • @MattL883 he is

  • For those that don't know and love the urge..... The Steve Ewing Band is still around and they still do the old urge songs.

  • OMG! I remember they opened up for Goldfinger at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence when I was 16! Love this shit!

  • Love these guys! They put on a great show too!

  • the urge is the best

  • gotta give it up to nick hexum on this track as well. what a great band

  • To all the "Vevo sucks" people: maybe Vevo doesn't suck, maybe your computer sucks. I have never had any of the issues you people complain about. Time for an upgrade and faster internet connection. Deal with it.

  • @bafmd win.

  • Where has real music gone?

  • Steve is quite awesome, miss the Urge.

  • @jls4958 They are playing at Pointfest in September in St Louis Sept 10, 2011.

  • scared too scared what the hell here i goooo

    xD :D

  • damn this takes me back....

  • The Urge @ Mississippi Nights...few things were better in the 90s.

  • the reason why everything sucks is VEVO

  • St. Louis =D

  • My favorite video by my favorite band. Chinese dragons, Shriners, and Nick Hexum, what's not to like?!

    BTW, anyone who gets an opportunity to see a Steve Ewing (the front man) live show, DO IT.

  • @CutChemist he plays around town all the time doin unplugged shows. Caught him at Houlihans last summer, told my kid, that sounds like the urge unplugged! turns out he was on the patio with a guitar player, beautiful...

  • mommy playing kickball for kroger mother fucker you

  • i miss these guys!!

  • Everytime I hear it, I think of Krista Bratton!!!!!!

  • holy shit! its nick

  • BADASS BAND. 311 founded them outta ST. LUIE. Them and 311 do a kickass concert. Check out Open All Nite from The Urge

  • ah memories of junior high!

  • HOLY SHIT ITS NICK HEXUM!!!

  • @vanillabear311 I wish 311 had done more songs with these guys! Their sounds mesh so well!

  • @PunchAPeach hell yeah dude, they need to tour together

  • The lead singer is playing at a local bar here in St. Ann, Mo( which is in St. louis) tonight only $5 cover to get in.

  • Hello. We are a new Reggae/Rock band from Miami named HYLLUS trying to be heard. We have many different influences and strive to create a new sound. Check us out for a new groove.

  • nick hexum!

  • You're all retarded. Its "ska". Jamaican reggae alternative. This band is one of the greatest. A tragedy the day they broke up. Their shows would sell out in the matter of hours.

  • This is alternative rock you idiots.

  • ya vevo blows goats. takes forever to download a song

  • Sure you can call this rap metal. Another good term might be....ska. This song is very nostaligic for me.

  • Great rap metal song!!!

  • how in any way is this rap metal?

  • Wow I love this band. Does anyone know what these guys are doing these days? I once called this vocalist (got his number from a pretty awesome producer) at around 3 am and left 2 messages on his machine about how much I liked the band!

  • I know they play a lot in St. Louis. They're coming to the Delmar Lounge on the 18th.

  • representing stl ouis baby

  • why the hell cant there be any mainstream artists like this anymore? I'm so sick of all the Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus shit plaguing the airwaves!

  • @dresmith THANK YOU

  • @dresmith they're 2 completely different genres...?

  • @dresmith you got that right friend. miss this music.

  • @dresmith so truuuue

  • this tune still puts a smile on my face, even after 12 years. epitomizes the late 90s hokey music video trend, though. wonder how much sony shelled out for this dud.

  • Guest appearance by Nick Hex of 311

  • vevo sucks balls, always freezes

  • @FKNhostile187 It's probably your crappy computer. Never had even a slight delay on any computer I've ever used to watch videos on here.

  • @FKNhostile187 maybe its your shitty internet connection, or shitty computer for that matter

  • @FKNhostile187 get a better connection, never freezes for me. 

  • @FKNhostile187 hahahahaa get a new computer nigger!

  • fought the urge to do it .skin to skin.what the hell,just jump right in.......
