Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio

[spark20]

Funny that I heard this song first on Seinfeld (Castle Rock logo).

[universalself]

still luv the song + album cover

[iybarra111]

spm version better

[repoman2665]

VIVA LA MEXICO!!!!south of the broder!!!!boys

[JohnnyBlade2000]

A mistique of the airwaves back in that era.

[MrReznore]

I heard this in a seventies styled restaurant this winter.

[BizzarreProductions]

Me at four: DAD I WANT TO HEAR THE FRIED LIZARD SONG!

[ipnorospo38]

Cannibal OX - Iron Galaxy

[jimmy5150ify]

Back in tha day ZZ-TOP would get their music blasted over the Mexico airwaves and could be heard up into half Texas, giving them exposure. (their song Heard it on the X is about the station)

[Subllime48]

best song ever created by a human

[carchavtube]

"Radio...radio...radio...radio­...radio..."

[MelissaYeuxdoux]

@roosevelthighschool: This song is from back in the (fading) days of AM stations placed just over the US-Mexico border so they could run insanely high transmitter power (much greater than the 50 kW limit the US imposes) so they could be readily heard through vast portions of the US. Probably the best known is/was XERF, 1570 KHz, just over the border from Del Rio, Texas in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico.

[1989LSC]

Just heard this for the first time yesterday. Never laughed so hard. Now to go eat some barbecued iguana

[roosevelthighschool]

What's so great about Mexican Radio anyways?

[overlandparkope]

@roosevelthighschool it comes with complimentary chips AND salsa

[MsKeith1969]

speaking of mexico, i also like the mexican armed forces, especially the mexican air force (fuerzas aereras mexicanas - fam)

[altan151]

I heard this song still playing on the radio in 2012, brought happiness to me :P

[princessbeffer]

This song reminds me of the Retro Pop Reunion with Joe Cortese. I really Wish Las Vegas carried that show.

[sinnersandsaints]

Garbage.

[abcdefghujklmnopqrus]

@sinnersandsaints Then don't listen. Noone's making you.

[roosevelthighschool]

I heard this song today and wanted to know what the video looked like.

[fardreamer01]

this is quite possibly the most annoying song EVER!!!!!

[DaHeavyGunner]

@fardreamer01 Why? I love it!

[SNight322]

@fardreamer01 That's what's so great about it.

[gaybathroomsex]

I was sodomizing a gay dude in their highly orgasmic butthole while this song was playing at FULL BLAST!

[PAINTPRO4259]

@gaybathroomsex FUCK OFF PUNK..!!!

[ThePrestige4u]

When I was working in Mexico a couple of years ago, this song still was getting lots of air-time.

[StilettoSilhouette1]

kameron carl arnold bodell mcworkman, this is a great video. i love you. i think of you daily and miss you. watch this. play that guitar. i love you kid

[shirams]

The only thing missing from this song is an accordion.

[TheZachReed]

I love this song. Is the rest of the album good?

[5380fabio]

@TheZachReed Yes... "Call of the West" is a great album. I love this song in every versions but I prefer the Celtic Frost cover.

[aftertheheat]

@TheZachReed Yes! A good and strange album.

[Frostbyte380]

fuck mexico

[sprcrzy1973]

@Frostbyte380 Fuck your mom

[Frostbyte380]

@sprcrzy1973 already have lol

[KBkayenbarrett]

Wewt, this song is the bomb. Not many people under 15 aprriciate this kind of music, and I think it's a shame. This is an awshum song, and whoever doesn't agree can go die in a hole. Lawl, like a boss.~

[TheAdamkenneyfriedla]

This song is about "otherness", cultural difference.  There has been suspicion between the english and spanish speaking worlds since the armada. The English have been more "libertarian", the Spanish more "conformist". This song, in a tongue-in-cheek way, actively forces your imagination "over the border".

[TheGameInformer]

Kramer sent me here

[Johnnystrychnine]

@TheGameInformer God sent me here when I crawled through the tunnel.

[MsKeith1969]

VIVA MEXICO!!!!!! I LOVE THE MEXICAN FLAG, HISTORY, CULTURE, AND PEOPLE!!

[honest413]

@MsKeith1969 Thank You brother much appreciated!!

[MsKeith1969]

@honest413 THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR THE MESSAGE! FELIZ NAVIDAD! FELIZ ANO NUEVO!!!!

[aceknightking]

Why dose the older songs sound awsome and the new stuff suck so much

[crogater]

for whatever reason this has been stuck in my head all day.

[dtmevolved]

Heard this for the first time in the car, awesome....

[TOOCHEWED]

of course they eat iguana in Mexico

[cliffwalkinfool]

Great song for karaoke: bring your Radio Shack megaphone for the tinny parts!

[chocolate9076]

i wanna go to cancun and eat iguana :)

[ashabishoe]

If you're a Stan Fan, you might enjoy some of these other 80's gems......

[weezer1452]

I don't think they eat iguana in Mexico :P "Can't understand him, what does he say"!

[tazer5]

@weezer1452

they do!!!! :) in some tropical forrest states.

[sabbathfreak1]

wish i were in tijuana eating barbequed Iguana

[ColinTheAwesomest]

I'm on a Mexican... Radio... Oh oh oh

[TheTraxxasRCGuys]

Wish I was around during this time

[Freedomreaper1996]

@evercool I totally agree. I'm only 15 and I like legendary music like this. (Miley cyrus and Justin "beaver" sucks)

[MrsJaziWagner]

Hey Evercool5000, I'm 60 yrs old but I saw this band live in 1986 and I'll never forget it!!!

[sakaimaow]

wow with 6 speakers this song sounds really cool but they hafta be syched just right to hear everything.

[PureSkimf]

Mexican radio by SPM

He made it a little more real..

[saratsuzuki]

Great song!!!!!!!!!!!

[evercool5000]

no doubt about it

this is a Jam

only 19 but i'd give anything to live back in the day with classics like this being number one instead of pricks and bitches like justin beiber and miley cyrus having "number ones"

[chuk19100]

i wish they had bbq iguana here in the U.S. man my country sucks

[ussoldier137]

@chuk19100 say what?

[chuk19100]

@ussoldier137 i want to try bbq iguana its in the song and i dont think you can get it in the U.S.

i really want to try it

[FULLmeltHASH]

This song just popped into my head a second ago.. haven't heard it in what seams like 20 years, thanks for the upload.

[hootica1105]

what i love about you tube...you can hear anything tour memory wants to..its here

[mpjgbx]

My mexican radio is a cheap piece of crap. lol

[Plaidgeoduck6]

xD Best song eva!!

[lectrikdog]

@Plaidgeoduck6 From one of the best albums of the '80`s no less.

[Santner25]

OMG

This is gotta be my favorite song I have ever listened to!

[75tm400]

Lol ! I haven't heard this song since it first came out. This song is off the hook loL

[assmane999]

Who never heard of this song until you heard Kramer singing it as he installed his reverse peephole?

[esaus95app]

Ssefe anfa defe pofonerfe esfecufucharfa coforrifidosfo afasefeleferafadosfo

[monitachilaga209]

Quisiera estar en Tijuana comiendo barbacoa de Iguana ^_^

[bromixsr]

DAMN!! the 80's were just plain fun. Bring back more meaningless music people, we need it.

[uwukillnevertell]

i want to know who the fuck gave these people that this song is worth a shit. as bad as primus

[RichtheEvil]

@uwukillnevertell English please.

[Jizzoshthekosh]

[Centaurian0190]

some gmod video brought me here

[satellites1]

Great group...there time ahead

[Bit6846]

I find it ridiculously refreshing that this has more views than the Vevo version. Let's keep it that way. Screw you and your commercials Vevo.

[monicalups]

@Bit6846 and now youtube has commercials :(

[FrostyBurns]

@Bit6846 except that youtube shuts down without commercials.

[greenmonkey1127]

Amen!

[greenmonkey1127]

Amen!

[PoopSlime]

Lots of poop slime comes from beaners who listen to this song.

[shaggy10sc]

I remember watching MTV for hours waiting for the video.

[TheGamer19961]

this will be perfect while your in mexico

[yonderpath]

One of the GREATEST songs to grace mankind. lol

[emersontotalyconfuse]

Remember Devo, The Cars and the powerful The Fall.

[arkady714]

The 1980s...more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

[daygloman]

@arkady714 Don't believe everything you hear!

[Imptheshrimp]

@daygloman None of what you hear and only half of what you see.

[FavreianVengeance]

@arkady714 If there's a decade that can't be duplicated, it's the 80s.

[dryque2006]

Im on a Mexican radio....

[TheMisadventuresClub]

@TexanHeat1 The reason this song is cool is because it was in Seinfeld

[GK805]

COOL SONG THAT MEXICAN RADIO

[mrbinkidoo]

@TexanHeat1 its good because it isnt shitty modern pop like ke$ha or whatever lol. Is that reason enough?? ;)

[syakk68]

cool

[megaflyer99]

@tamerswan heehee eeeeewwww!! :) some iguana's are endangered, so I prefer not to eat them ;)

[HinaTemSaku]

@TexanHeat1

Also, don't come onto a video, say something as rude as you did, and expect a polite or smart response. The least you could've done is actually use proper spelling and grammar.

Maybe you should develop a coherent comment on your dislike of this video, then you might get coherent and smart responses. And from your other comments, I've also figured out you don't listen to a lot of any music, and I think you're just an ignorant cunt who's trying to get a response.

0/10

[HinaTemSaku]

@TexanHeat1

If you don't like, you don't like it. Just go find some song you do like, and leave this one alone. No one can convince you it's a good song.

And your Lady GaGa comment is just ignorant. You sound like you don't listen to her a lot, and while she may be weird, most (not all) of her songs have a deeper message.

With that being said, not every song has a message. This one is just for fun, so if you don't like it, go find something you DO like.

[bananaPLEASE]

My favorite time to listen to this is when it's really hot out! I can crank it up loud in my truck and wave to strangers just because I can and they don't know wtf is going on.

[leslielove]

since 1982



[chaseofhavoc1]

@TexanHeat1 lol..........your not right

[donnydcyclops]

@TexanHeat1 i like it cause its different, unique. when it came out, nothing else sounded like it. hell, nothing to this day sounds like it. i respect your opinion though.

[recover66]

Fucin a man this is da shit,I like when the head comes out the big pot of beans ,reminds me of being out west,cookin wiyh dat moskeat woooood!!!!

[AlluringPeace]

22 people don't like bbq iguana

[TexanHeat1]

I can't believe no one has said it yet. Wow! Well I'll do it. This shit sux ass. This has got to be one of the worst songs ever. I've heard this song before and I've tried to give it a chance but it still sucks donkey dick. Anyone here can make a song like this maybe even better. This is shit.

[Grimno]

@TexanHeat1 Better the crap that comes out today which is nothing but Genericness... sappy love songs... country songs about beer women and someone who died... Hip Hop which anyone can make, and let's not forget cRAP.

[fetusmuncher9]

@Grimno so so so true well said

[showoff922]

@TexanHeat1 no one said that because this song is great and ur just some retarded assclown

[russiaISWEAKUSARULE]

@TexanHeat1 no have no respect for the classics idiot

[d3ath2l33t]

@TexanHeat1 you're probably one of those asswipes who think they're the next eminem..

[ttomdorrej]

@TexanHeat1

Go give your mom a blow-job, faggot.

[ghostrider5378]

@TexanHeat1 Texan.

Clearly you're just mad because this has "Mexican" in the song title.

[reesiewolf]

@TexanHeat1 Dude, Don't search a song you do not like and post a hate comment on it. If you hate it so much why don't you shut up and move on? Really? Did mommy not give you enough hugs when you were little and decided to get some attention here?

[jaisin17]

@reesiewolf

NO he just had to get over his deep attraction to the dark skin- HE REALLY DOES LIKE it trust me..... and IF HE's DARK SKINNED, then he needs to get some psycho therapy.. lololololol

[jaisin17]

@TexanHeat1

U need a DONKEY DICK UP UR ASS !!! S I D E W A Y S ! ! ! ur a nerd fucker!! what do u know? really... come On...- UR PROBABLY FROM HILLBILLY INSEST VILLE, AND JUST CLAIM TO BE FROM TEXAS- GO DO A BLAST OF METH AND SHUT THE FUCK UP..... lolololololol

[jhooty14]

I came her from seinfeld when kramer was humming this while inverting the looker im his door lol

[CalebBooker]

This could come out today and dominate the airwaves. SO bizarre and awesome. Ahead of its time, really.

[TheOnionRoute]

♥ ☼ ♫

[SGR750]

The video is a delight, an absolute delight. The rhythm of his vocals leading and lagging the main beat of the song shows an exquisite command of the piece and of the craft. In current popular music Kate Nash has that talent. Hard to describe to wrap the vocal around the edges of the strong beat without hurting either the beat or the vocal. It's talent! Why they get the big bucks - and I don't. The Mexican food or the culture - you can keep 'em - but this song is GREAT!

[CyconautiX]

Stan Ridgeway made this band. The others were losers who died young from drug use. Also, this is the single version, not the version from Call of the West.

[GuruTracey]

This is great. One of the best 80s songs ever. I want some bbq iquana!

[therealraybaby]

I'm on a wavelength far from home.

[richard444rob]

was in the Austral8ian navy and went from San Diego via Barrier logan 2 Tiuana in 88 loved it

[groovinash]

this is...easily one of my ten favorite songs...amazing

[gielomir3]

This is by celtic frost?

[IndicaEuphora]

@gielomir3 No these guys are the original writers for this song. Celtic Frost covered this song.

[gielomir3]

@IndicaEuphora ah like that ok

[flootisboy65]

I wonder if anyone has ever danced around a Mexican radio.

[mdkzxhfuizsdhf]

16 people have not listen to a Mexican radio station

[DRGONZO714]

"I'm on a wave length "FAR FROM HOME".......I Think it meant a lot further than Mexico .....

 Signed....BUZZ LIGHTYEAR

[ggoblue]

heres the context...back in the day, wolfman jack broadcast rock and roll from south of the border, thus escaping US radio station power limits...mexican stations stepped all over the bandwidth and dominated the airwaves in socal.

[kookyinthecoconuts]

The First time I saw/heard thsi song was al 3am on MTV classic durring a 80's A-Z music video playlist, i thought it was only woerd since it was so late at night but nope its till wierd.

[JACOBACKLEY1997]
