Trampled by Turtles-Wait So Long

[mangoruse]

This song is NOT about a hooker. I know this because it is about me, and I'm pretty sure the authorities wouldn't allow me to care for disabled people in my home if I was a hooker. 'Fire burned fornication' refers to getting drunk and flirting (big deal) and 'dirty money that you earn' refers to getting attention from men. THere, consider yourselves schooled..

[BluntRip]

@mangoruse Cool story bro.

[HUNZ901]

how can you dislike this

[liveinvandownbyriver]

They are sitting in order of beard length.

[IslaywitaAK]

you wait so long for such an incredible song

[ohhaiim1234]

The beards, man. THE BEARDS.

[alemmingsdeath]

The only Bluegrass band that would do Slayer covers justice!

[ebly92]

the devil went down to georgia and got his ass handed to him

[Vacuum420]

Only in Minnesota do naturally seat ourselves by beard length.

[Shizwack]

@Vacuum420 lol - I never even noticed this fact...

[onthewaterr]

Story of my life

[thgirwkcin]

This song makes me wanna tell my boss to kiss my @ss, kick over everyones cubicle, drive my truck through the trails and drink beer.....and whiskey.

[onthewaterr]

fucking amazing

[SaladxAXsisdlss]

had chills/shivers from that intro buildup, my shoulders are numb

very nice

[LebannersHook]

@SaladxAXsisdlss Got the same feeling, these guys sure do have talent!

[kdusdal]

i am officially in love. holy shit.

[BirdLivesInMe]

The true HOLY SHIT starts at about 1:54!!! Love these guys!

[sublimekg]

amazing flatpicking on the banjo

[rockaholics1116]

You do realize this song is about a hooker right?

[MusicJunkyFunky]

@rockaholics1116 Haha I think most people don't know that part.... Best song about a hooker EVER!

[daFranch1se69]

If there's any song that reminds me of me and what I stand for, its this song. Fast as I can be and full of emotion and passion.

[ELEKTRON45]

this is beautiful :) 

[bjams77]

I'm a straight guy, but I have a feeling if I was a chick, I would want to do that guy so hard.

[Rattlefist]

I dun told you once you son of a bitch...I'm the best that's ever been...

[44RUBES]

danny davis anyone?

[taliaferrora]

They need to turn up the banjo on this recording

[beetelgeuze]

well that's a hell of a good violist right there! yihaa

[Kamell91]

Tu jest Polska !

[IVIegadude]

I'm pretty sure that if you tried to do a dubstep remix of this you'd just die.

[bjams77]

Banjo guy:

"I GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS!!"

[311cdm]

THE TURTLES ROCK!!!



[Calidaguitar]

With how fast they can play, it's surprising that they were trampled by turtles...

[HealingBlight]

@Calidaguitar They trained the turtles.

[fixmylake]

This song would sound better if it was played a bit faster...

Seriously, these guys need to market a workout video based upon speed strumming. All of that curling up in Duluth has clearly prepped all of their arms for some crazy, lightning-speed banjo/fiddle/mandolin playing. Love it.

[Rattlefist]

Damn!!! What up SON!! Best jam grass ever!

[Darthwannabe]

The Devil should have had this band join him instead of that bad of demons. "And a band of good ole' boys joined and it sounded somethin' like this..." -- the result would've ended in his favor.

[joeldg]

MOAR BANJOS

[a2redneck]

Can someone please recomend me more great music like these guys? much obliged!

[robotichedgehog]

@a2redneck the only other bluegrass band I know is the infamous stringdusters, but they're not as fast as these guys, gah, i love 'Trampled by Turtles'!

[a2redneck]

@robotichedgehog infamous: famous for a bad reason. thanks, ill check them out.

[zomnbio]

@a2redneck You should check out Larry and his Flask, if you haven't already!

[a2redneck]

@zomnbio will do!

[NehemiahNesheim]

@a2redneck Check out Pert Near Sandstone You will like

[a2redneck]

@NehemiahNesheim yes i do! i just listened to "soild gone" good stuff! where was this music all my life!?

[mattfreaknparker]

@NehemiahNesheim hey dude its matt, lol i didnt know you liked TBT bro.

[Gippo50]

What a tune!

[828Phatty]

WTF!!!



[bim2x4]

I'd love to see these guys live. 

[dgk4094]

hahah that mother fucker with the banjo gittin it lol hahah

[dobison1989]

Society needs more fiddling. 

[badgeruss]

I tried to strum a banjo like that in my dreams, but got cramp in my fingers. I woke up covered in sweat screaming.

[Darthwannabe]

That guy strums the banjo... STRUMS! AND HE CAN STILL PLAY THAT FAST! Most banjo players use like 3 finger picks... crazy good band, crazy good music. GOOD OLE' BOYS ARE BACK!

[worldbound15]

I just wanna say that the banjo player is mighty, mighty good lookin'.

[ThrashTheFash]

@worldbound15

You know who's a really looker though? That mandolin player w/ the suspenders ;) Seeexxxsaaaaay

[omalleyification]

TBT are truly awesome! just can't put how they make me feel into words!!

[edbaron95]

I feel like my computer screen should explode after watching this

[ericjthera]

Home townn.. Gotta love itt

[ferrousammonium]

...was brought up on Franklin, Carrol, Patrick, and Henry Country, VA and Rockingham County, NC string music. I am always awed at how hard the guys who keep this music alive work to play and sing. Trampled by Turtles makes the near-impossible look effortless.

[srm5436]

saw them in dallas, they killed it

[brennersullivan]

Hahaha this song is the tits?! Correctomundo I fucking love it!

[Marioking987654321]

59 people who dislike this song need to f*** themselves!

[rebelbutter]

this is unbelievable!!! been jammin to this song for almost over a year... so goood!!!!!!

[baad0501]

Beard Pride, 2011

[RyansaysNoht]

This song is the tits!!!!! I love when I stumble upon shit. I gotta listen to more of their songs .

[smkaps427]

minnesota lovin'

[pophutch72]

Holy hell, this is some good shit!

[POPxROCKSxANDxCOKE]

Incredible. If they ever play Ireland, I am most definitely there!

[denis1110]

@POPxROCKSxANDxCOKE same here, that would be brilliant!

[6buffdude9]

this is how we do it in Northern Minnesota!!

[iateyou13]

Such a fucking solid song

[kurtboy561]

Respect for great fiddlin, but what an awful song. Lacks any innovation whatsoever. Makes me wanna put a bullet to my head.

[elnuggeto686]

@kurtboy561 then do it.

[thatbreegirl]

Come on over to Indiana, we'd be happy to have you and drink some beer in a field and have a bonfire. :)

[geckomage]

i friggin love this song! the skill they all have, how many instruments they use, and how you can hear every bit of passion and emotion they put into what they do. also the singer looked like he was dippin ;D better be cope straight :O

[munit299]

MINNESOTA PRIDE NORTH STAR STATE

[BRETTDADDY400]

This song tastes like bourbon.

[missthesevra]

In my life, I don't remember ever hearing such a song. Ya got a life time fan.

[ThePolverariMusic]

MCS doesnt give this justice.

[twofsh]

WNCW.org played this song and I came here to hear it again..... and again.... and again!

[PeaceLovePunks]

Still My Favorite Song.....Always Will Be. <3 Folk The System

[KateOelrich]

Awesome song

[Fluffifullness]

My favorite Trampled by Turtles song. Very nice.

[dgrass6]

The instramentals go together like fuck and fuck

[strod64]

After that, I feel like a herd of turtles just came and trampled me. Later they brought me back to life by listening to this song.

[barneyWILLIAMSable]

I would love to hear these guys cover a Mumford and Sons song and vice versa. BOTH are equally good for deferent reasons

[supergnargnarbinks87]

not every single song by mumford has Shakspere in the lyrics, im not going to argue the point right now because i can only think of two that don't though...

[BallydowseRambler]

hipster folk mumford n sons who right the same song every song with lyrics from shakespear. 25 million views. True Minnesottan folk with original lyrics and different every song, 2million views. Such a shame. These guys are incredible!

[idletimerap]

@BallydowseRambler Thank you. Thank you. You are so ridiculously right

[speed4207]

59 dislikes??

[sasquatchdl]

hell yeah Minnesotans!

[Minnesnowtaaa]

True Minnesotans.

[Wikeh]

so i have to attend a certain number of concerts for my music class. the other days i saw that 'trampled by turtles' was playing in SLC. i lol'd a little bit, but then i youtubed them. Now, im a damn fan! these guys are great!

[MusicAlwaysFTW]

Guardsman Bob XDD

[dobison1989]

Society needs more fiddling.

[CalvinMcCaskill]

I wish I would have caught these dudes more often in Minneapolis when I lived there. If anyone knows someone in the band, have them get in touch with me for an astonishingly odd collaboration. I believe I've seen them live before, but we have to get in the studio, no doubt. peace!

[WispyHauntySpirit]

The devil went down to the home of these guys... and got his ass handed to him.

[ProfessorGroove]

Duluth MN my friend. Even though they're getting big now they still come back all the time. Great band.

[driveme2firenze]

@WispyHauntySpirit *devil went up to duluth

[geckomage]

@WispyHauntySpirit amen brother lmao.

[colquittkennedy]

@WispyHauntySpirit the devil went up to Minnesota ;)

[rhrhllc]

@WispyHauntySpirit They're from Minnesota....

[NotToBeTakenAway]

@WispyHauntySpirit the devil went up to MN! :D

[beefee102]

Needs more cowbell.

[wydog286]

I"m black and what is this?

[cubanRAWNIE73]

ok does anyone have tabs for the violin part?? cause i really want to learn this!! please message me if you do!!!

[turnstray]

Holy Crap he's flatpicking?!?

[beefee102]

Oh God, it's sexing my earholes so hard. SO HARD! PLEASE MOAR! OH YES! YES!

[EmpyreOfTHUGa]

What on earth just happened?

[whatsuplucas]

That fiddle solo is... wow.

[LegendairyParnell]

In beard size order :D

[bustanutbabybutttttz]

mumford and sons is like this on downers!

[Viralpigmonster]

whoa! did not expect them to be a bluegrass band lol excellent!! but since im here ...anyone else excited for the return of the SCI?

[SoleMeow]

Acoustic is nice, but the soundtrack's Power Pop version is more accessible. Something throbbing your rib cage, especially a syncopated rhythm section, has a built-in advantage over everything else. It literally moves you!

[memormine]

O_O. holy love.

[clashcityrockuh]

Jesus Christ.

[miaow777]

Amazing.

[dinoexgoesxrawrr]

Myspoonful brought me here. SUPERB

[joshspw]

Why can't I find some pickers like this?!?!?!?!

[billcosby138]

Motion City's version sucks so hard.

[CyborgEugenics]

Like Mumford & Sons on speed!

[CanadianLifeLine]

@CyborgEugenics

lol, truue

[fakeitlikeyoumatter]

is this song about a hooker?

[Jsteele324]

@fakeitlikeyoumatter Haha I think so... xD

[mangoruse]

@Jsteele324 Nope it's about a fan (me) who used to go to a lot of TBT shows, and I'm not a hooker. Sorry if that disappoints!

[Siphoneuphoria]

@fakeitlikeyoumatter The lyrics are about a hooker but the song is about playing the f**ck out of those instruments.

[skateonheadreturns]

This is beautiful madness

[MattPitnerMusic]

MCS did a great cover of this! But wow the original is just amazing! 

[Trombworks]

Amazing Song!

[Inspeyere]

Banjogasm.

[brandonsk8uc]

i didn't have MCS bring me here!

[skateonheadreturns]

@brandonsk8uc Who is MCS?

[Hamerish]

@skateonheadreturns motion city soundtrack

[skateonheadreturns]

@Hamerish Ew, gross!

[PhillyBluntsDoItRite]

real music

[mrbusters]

This is soooooooo good

[tehufn]

I need this on my MP3 Player!!

[graynadian]

This song is addictive! It's the best earworm I've ever had.

[BorrowedInstruments]

MCS brought me here too! This is so bad ass it's off the chart

[HOLYR0ME]

[natospec1]

[mtntrailrunner1]

[redrabbitreviews]

[GuitarGage]

Motion City Soundtrack brought me here... and I'm really glad they did

[kholtman52]

@GuitarGage that version blows

[9ScubaSteve1]

@kholtman52 you blow!

[GuitarGage]

@kholtman52 Oh sorry i didn't know i wasn't allowed to like the Motion City Soundtrack version? Thanks for correcting me dick licker.

[lauraAnn93]

How did Motion City Soundtrack bring you here...?!?!?! Love them too!

[beefee102]

@lauraAnn93 MCS covered this song, and in turn TbT covered MCS's song "Disappear"

[lauraAnn93]

Oh... Nevermind, I figured it out. I see they did a cover... That's not good. I love both Motion City, and Trampled.. But they shouldn't cover each other.

[heinry11]

I tried to play the fiddle part on the cello. Yeah, not happening.

[UnscrewedWheat]

I'm a dubstep fan and I love this.

[costomcharacter]

this song is dangerous, i played the guitar part and my desk lamp and snow globe fell off the damn shelf.

[Jesusdanger26Oh]

holy shit, this song is incredible. so is motion city soundtrack's cover also!!!

[diddlemetimbers]

Society needs more diddling.

[andpannell]

the gap is so huge in between bad band name and amazing band

[CarleeIsDead]

<3!



[EMACDUCK1919]

Tonight in Toronto yes!!!

[machinegunman6]

53 people got trampled by turtles. they also have no appreciation for amazing skill and talent. im a metal fan, and i still listen to this song about 20 times a day. its just that good.

[ironwindow01]

I keep watching it over and over again waiting for that fiddle to catch on fire

[tracilee27]

i love this song so so so so so much

[briainjk]

Man, how old is the bassist? What an awesome bunch!

[ferrousammonium]

...all started with Poole in Rockingham County, NC and Frankin County, VA and continues through these guys.

These are the best of the latest evolution.

[kuwaitsucksballs]

impossible to listen to this song just once

[MrHype713]

they fucking rule!!!!

[warriorelite27]

Mind blown. That fiddler is outstanding

[Physhi]

Ain't no Bela Fleck. =) But still good stuff.

[denis1110]

amazing song and they all seem like friendly, genuine guys too. 

[rockinray39]

Great stuff ! Please learn GRAB YOUR BALLS WE'RE GOIN from the album "Six Pack Plus One" by Rockin Ray...

[digthisholmes]

trampled by bearded banjo playing dickbags!

[QSKJDIK]

@digthisholmes what? they're all actually really nice and approachable.

[Jinxed44]

@QSKJDIK I think he's just trying to troll. Let 'im go.

[TheGreenflamehead]

i wanna kno how their instruments didn't catch fire lol they sum beasts

[ept004]

[phildigs13]
