Supergrass created such amazing music, not everyone recognised how wonderful they really were, but those of us who did will never get tired of saying it.
Wish they didn't break up, but I guess all great bands do...at least a member didn't die. Follow me here: They remind me of Nirvana in that they write simple songs with great depth. No, they don't sound like them, but they possess the same natural flow that only occurs in the right circumstances.
Found this band's work in the cut out bin at a chain record store .was not their goal am pretty sure- probably bad pr /management cos' they defintely have chops,great songwriting .If this video was shot in the course of a benefit to keep the Weeki Wachee Mermaids in business -that's pretty cool .Karma goes round .I'll do my part to keep these guys from hocking their instruments...
My mom was a Weeki Wachee mermaid and she's in this video twice! First at 0:29 she's right in the center under the Weeki Wachee sign with the red hair, then at 3:18 in the back row, second in from the right. Just got back from a trip there, it's a really amazing place to be.
I agree, I am not a massive fan of the Foo Fighters, not that that makes a difference but I have seen these guys twice and they are amazing, well under rated!
I went to that place when I was 6 years old. That was 35 years ago. It was a very fond memory from my childhood. I thought it was great that Supergrass did a video at Weeki Wachi. It looks like everyone had a great time at that benefit.
I have been a big fan of Supergrass since they came out. I enjoy them for their goofy playfulness, and this video is evidence of their fun nature. I used to play mermaid all the time when I was on the swim team, so this video speaks to me. Supergrass rocks my world.
Memo to other recording artists: the perfect music video has now been made and posted on YouTube. The medium has achieved its apotheosis. Stop work immediately. You cannot compete. Repeat: you cannot compete.
I saw them back in june in exeter, they were awesome live. They just look like they are really enjoying themselves, as did i watching them. Gaz is a prince among men! Keep up the wonderful work
i respect this band so much, they are'nt trying to stay in the number one charts of live in the limelight as most celebrities do, they just stay in the background, making GREAT music, doing live performances and building their fanbase, this is why they have outlived most of the other britpop bands.. many greats have come and gone, supergrass are underated, but they are still the best in my eyes
I spent many a night cruising the back roads late with my kids, getting away from my ex wife during one of her tirades. We used to listen to this song over and over on those long strange nights, the kids and I. It would make us forget everything and look at each other and wink and smile and giggle.
I remember seeing this video years ago on TV. It just popped into my head the other day and I've been trying to think of the band and name of the song. Thanks for this. Cool song and cooler video.
Have not seen this for a while....Road To Rouen is a great album. Saw the band in Edinburgh last night and they were brill. All the new material was excellent, and the new album should be as good as R2R.
I know Road to Rouen didn't get a whole lot of love, but it's my favorite Supergrass album and probably one of my top 10 favorite albums of any band. Great video, never even knew it existed until today.
What an absolutely corking video - like a slice of pure Americana. The song is just fantastic too. That's how to make a proper video and song combine properly.
Best music video ever made in the history of the medium. Like a mini-documentary, and it tells more about the heart of American culture (old and new) than any modern attempt at journalism could....
