Reel Big Fish - The Set Up

[MystieDawn9]

I love Reel Big Fish and this song is just awesome. I love to blast it at 530am so i can wake up in a REEL good mood

[eastballa16]

A true players anthem , haha.

[ska4you]

something weird has happend with the audio but i love it caus you only hear the lead guitar at the chorus and these notes are damn nice:D

[bigfatchodez]

this shit is only coming out my left headphone. stereo-rize yo shit nigga

[comptonbrotha]

Seeing them on Tuesday! Fuck yeah

[360TheaterOfPWN]

scott and aaron are gods

[MrThomasTuba]

Ive never seen this vid yet. didnt even know it exsisted.... Lots of Ex- RBF members in it.. =o(

[janettosan]

ughhhh so much LOVE! they are the men in my life, i'm not kidding. since i was ten or something crazy. anyone going to slam dunk to see them?

[driftwoodenterprises]

DO NOT watch this video if you're trippin. Just sayin.

[glycoboy]

i love this earlier sound of theirs.. sick guitar licks, amazing unique harmonies and bass themes. dope horns.. the last 2 cds are literally bunk... everything after cheer up sucks for the most part.. way to dumbed down and written for 13 year olds because there's so little creativity.. but they have plenty of good songs overall

[MrSuperpawn]

@glycoboy im 13 and i agree with you completly.

[Skakid789]

@glycoboy I think they're just trying to keep up with popular demands, I love their old stuff, their new stuff is.. oka. but I think the reason that they are started to redo everything is because they need to have/own rights to the songs now since they left Mojo. Also because they have all new member besides aaron and dan now. So they must be trying to write/play things to the new members abilities

[kobzky]

my fav reel big fish song. I'm a T-bone player, and we cover some of their songs.

I really really wanna cover this one, too bad i don't have a band right now. And too busy to organize one.

[timbolee]

My my, this sure is a great song that I also forget of too often. Would love to see a better quality online some time, but this is still friggin' amazing. =D

And, @KristaXkore , Scott is crazy hot. There is a straight guy's opinion on the matter, it's just a fact.

[cowluv9]

right audio only

[Dukklord]

@cowluv9 left actually haha

[jpschneide]

no sound.....

[TheeRelization]

aarons fuckin awsome but i always thought he looked kinda weird. but that doesent change that their music kicks ass.

[a7xisdabest]

I hate most ska but these guys are fucking amazing

[KristaXkore]

omg i STILL think scott is crazy hot

[Moparornocar74]

@KristaXkore Scott's a dork

[cartoonmarc]

I think someone should find a higher quality copy of this video

[Minimoosethesecond]

OMFG he's flying

[DropBeatsNotBombs10]

haha scott is soo hot in this video.

[GiberishElf]

this video is bad quality and olny play thru one speaker?headphone

[dav324]

hey your right...lol..weird

[dartherik3001]

i think this song is about a playa. he's like hey baby.

[MaxBeljaeff]

well with the characters bad back he shouldnt be picking up anygirls

[gwiz210]

Does anyone know where I could find a higher quality version?

[willf0rce]

with Arron's bad back he shouldn't be picking up any girls!

[OFFSPRINGRULEZZ]

What do you mean bad back? Does aaron have a bad back? or is it just a joke? sorry that caught my eye.

[willf0rce]

haha no dont worry, its what he says in the live version from "our live album is better than yours"

[OFFSPRINGRULEZZ]

Lol, which part the dvd part? or the audio part? I know i heard him say funny shit about this song in audio but yeah i think im starting to remember now i dont listen to taht dvd that much anymore watched it to many times lol

[pochoguevara]

The lead singer looks like Ace ventura in this video.

[thesevencross]

Dude, this album was released in 1998, 3 years before Toxicity. That's why they rock so hard.

[PhanSpikenBob]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this clip!! I check you tube on a regular basis in the hopes that this song is here!!! Love hte song!! XXXXXXXXXX

[jasonmccarroll]

is this takin the piss of system of a downs chop suey video at some points ?

[jos0531]

i do believe this one came first. could be mistaken.

[machtmartin]

yeah!!!!  RBF´s best song

[Zaratus1991]

lol i love it in the live version (our live album is better then your live album) when they go to play this

OK this song is called the set up ahh its about.....

[aeth0]

[xrockangelx]

...Aw, don't you just love that "I-forgot-this-song-omg-it's-f­uckin'-awesome" feeling? Yeahhh. Me too. ;)

[flipwits2]

@xrockangelx The only problem is that you should NEVER forget Reel Big Fish.

[xrockangelx]

@flipwits2 Lol! Touche, touche! =)

[shipp0andlee]

the song is awesome :3 but you pretty much screwed with where the audio comes out o.0 I mean all I am getting is music out the right and like nothing for the left ._.; quite annoying to say the least but the song is wicked none the less xD

[Vurdah]

Instant Love, just add RBF :)

[gumby118]

I want to see these guys in concert. They

were and still are one of my favorite bands. I'll never stop liking RBF. They will

always be a favorite of mine forever.

[KungPow12321]

Same here bud

[bradyisbeast12]

i'm going 7/19!!!

[sean99766]

its freakin hilarious that hey started off as an 80's metal cover band lol

[thecommenter4]

this isint a bad vid i thought it was good

[snowboardinghottie15]

i love reel big fish! their music is awesome!

[rockstarmyles]

what ever happend to the the high quality copys???

[Donkey100]

yay

[ColbertNation893]

sick song... and you gotta love the double neck guitar

[fahque79]

I seen them live back in 96 for six bucks at some local bar. Not many people knew who there were and there was only about 60 people there.

[zaphodfortytoo]

I met them in San Francisco. All signed my ticket too. Really nice guys, I must say.

[5StarGeneralFTW]

yeah but is that dude gay or what looks like hes banging him

[Dhop375]

What year was this made?

[instantprincewhippit]

98'

[chrisbuer]

haha, i love reel big fish they've been my favorite band since i was 9!! been to 13 shows and ill have up to 15 by this february

[MJDx0]

13 shows already! Frig me! Its gonna be the first for me in Feb like, but then again i'm only 15. =)

[OFFSPRINGRULEZZ]

They've been my favorite band since i was 4 years old since 96' im 16 now. 96 was pretty much when they started too. Dude 15 shows? I just went to my first one last sunday. god you guys are so fuckin lucky.

[mikerus1]

Dude, they started in like 92 or summat. They'd been around for a bit by 96 definitely.

[OFFSPRINGRULEZZ]

Well actually, that is true. But what im saying is like, that they didnt become more popular till 96. ya know what i mean? thats when i first started listening to them i was only 4 years old so ya.. but yeah i wish i could have gone to more shows i was just to young back in the day.

[SarcasmxAWayofLife]

dah! scotty's so hot!

[thechemist57]

Hojeez. I completely agree. <3

You're not being sarcastic, are you? ;)

[SarcasmxAWayofLife]

NO, not in the least. this video and everything sucks. you can hardly recognize him!

[yourtubesucks010]

back off you vultures!

Scott's mine!

[kizface]

i didnt realise this was a common phenomenon... i thought it was just me being wierd!... scott in the take on me video anyone? ;P

[colincoolkid]

my ears ow ow ow ow!!!! great song btw, but sound quality is complete shit D:

[beavisthelizard]

what a worthless song. nice catchy intro guitar work is ok, but its a nothing song...Nothing. :)

[corvanphoenix]

This song still has one of the best intro's of all time.

[GodofTrombones]

Travis gives me the creeps in the album photo. He's still kind of creepy in this video.

[Pazmin0]

lmfao

[egiappaige]

1997? or 1998?

That is when I was on tour with them... and saw this first cut in Canada... while Aaron (we all had seen it the night before) ate Lucky Charms cereal, as I showed my best friend taking an animation course up there.

Merch Girls are Easy ;) J/K

[GodofTrombones]

Cool.

[Dhop375]

OMG how old is this music video?

[SarcasmxAWayofLife]

bahahahahahahahahaha aaron barrett and scotty dancing in the first chors = love

[rockstarmyles]

why all these videos cut out intro guitar??

[AUsTjN]

the drummer totally ate the drum stick... that's amazing! oh and Reel Big Fish is the best

[Flex3182]

i miss two trombonists...dan is great but i just love seeing four horns up there

[llumys]

I miss Matt and Tavis.

[bahhstones]

i miss matt wong

[oscarsurf311]

i miss the 90s now all is rap and hip hop i hate this times rell big fish is the best band ever i miss this kind on music in our radios

[Lurk58]

Amen

[joshsoutherland]

I miss when people could type coherent sentences.

[SexyPenguino]

I concur.

[impactsting]

I blame excessive television exposure for this phenomenon. Have you ever seen some of the new shows designed for children? It's making the kids about has coherent as Teletubbies.

[abizon2]

i used to not like this song but now i cant stop listening to it!!!! Reel Big Fish for life!

[nateisneato]

I like how Andrew is playing with bass drum mallets. Tee hee.

[U83121337]

Actually it's a gong mallet.

[nateisneato]

Oh yeah, I just noticed that, haha.

[yak182]

This was when the fish was at their best,

Best Songs, best albums, Still young and stupid, Best people in the band, sill had tavis, matt, grant, and andrew on the drums. This was their peak. Why do they rock so hard? was the bes music theyve ever done i reckon.

[CthulhuToboggan]

Huh, I guess it just goes to show that everyone has their own tastes. Reel Big Fish is my absolute favorite active band (followed closely by Bad Religion) and I love this song. It has good vocals and shows off Scott to a nice degree. I also like the video. I think it's nicely quirky and illustrates RBF's bombastic stage presence well.

But what do I know? They've only been my favorite band since Turn The Radio Off! in '96.

[GodofTrombones]

I love this song

[OFFSPRINGRULEZZ]

Reel Big Fish is truly the rebels of rock!

[glycoboy]

why is this song soooo good and talented but the video is so childish... its like a barney show. i wish he'd just play his guitar and not just throw it around between his legs etc. what a joke..

[comunisumsucks]

dude i agree i love their songs their vids are just kind of annoying the way their made but then again it gives them individuality(hope i spelled that right) no one else has vids like theirs so its a good/bad thing i think

[ShadowEl]

I agree as far as this video goes. In my opinion, this one and Everything Sucks probably have the worst videos.

[jcrist]

one of the worst songs

[20003641]

go to hell

[fricktasticful]

wait, are you saying it's one of the worst rbf songs, or just one of the worst songs ever?

[jcrist]

one of THEIR worst songs, i love rbf.

FORGIVE ME for having an opinion you angry nerds.

[fricktasticful]

i'm not angry at all, i was just asking. i'm not the guy who told you to go to hell. i don't really like this song either (but i love rbf, so don't all thumbs down me for saying that).

[danecookness]

i dont see why you motherfuckers have to be angry at some ppl who have opinions and get mad like theyre saying hitler was great

[vertiis]

Guys with long hair rule - I have long hair so I know \m/

[summer6678]

ugh scott is soooooooooo hot in this one.

he should totally cut his hair and shave so he doens't look like a mountain man anymore. lol

i love him anyways.

[brandnewbritboy]

6 different guitars. Hahaha, I love the fact that he changes between them ever ten seconds.

[znuff666]

1:46 they mouth the wrong words!

[skatanicskanker]

nah its just lag, i think theyd know or at least learn the words to their own songs dont you lol

[znuff666]

they lyrics is 'somethin new' but its clear they are saying 'somewhat true' which is at a different part. im pretty sure the video editor just stuck this part in at the wrong part.

yes, they know the words. but the other dude didnt

[BenEss2k7]

Do these people REALLY NEED like 50 guitars? There's a red and white one, a black and white one, a retro one, Scott's one, and a white one! And then there's Matt's Bass. Lol!

So anyways, great vid and band!

xD!

[doodyl9]

thanks for posting the whole video. the other one has a shitty cut off.

[doodyl9]

whore.

[Amir3793]

THis songs and this band just prove that that that that SKA JUST RULES

[thechemist57]

Mmm. Scotty. <3

I love this video.

[panick44]

de nada

[panick44]

all this midless aguing and calling of "n00b" is irrelevant...lets all just say that this song is awesome beyond belief

yea?

that's what i thought...so hsut up and listen/watch!!!

but mostly

LOVE IT!!!

[HippyKev]

Sorry It IS Why Do They Rock SO Hard.....I Thought I Clicked On The Drunk Again Video

[FLKSADJfkl]

HAHAHHA who the fuck calls someone a Fuking noob you pany waiste nerd.

[reelbigf90]

loving this song at the moment! thanks for the video, happy skanking ;)

[HippyKev]

No "Cheer Up"

[RoonilWazlib505]

take your lack of reel big fish knowledge somewhere else n00b

[jayjay6060]

whaut album is this on

[gpenguin1]

It's on "Why Do They Rock So Hard"

[FLKSADJfkl]

Reel big Fish Fucking rocked at summerfest!!!

[skarules3453]

i wish i could play trumpet like jimmy

[willcrisp101]

great anthem

[fleet4life]

I love how Aaron keep changing guitars lol

[danielcp]

Q ARRECHA ESO RBF

[JOJOpunk182]

these guys makes me laughing this song is cool

[MichaKo0sche]

i've been watching this video atleast five times a day this week, but i seem to have a problem: it is the only video for me that has to load from the biginnig everytime. With most other videos it only has to load once, and then i can play it over and over. Does anyone have any idea why that might be?

[frenchfriesss]

This song could make anyone sing along and go air guitar during the solo. Amazing to watch in live too! SKA = PURE FUN!

[Vonnie20]

I love these guys...I love this song.

[AlexAV88]

wow i love the spinning trumpet at 1:43!!crazy!

[tachyonpython]

Anyone notice that at 1:46 Scott says "Someone True"? Look at his mouth move.

[drums4life24]

yeah thats pretty crazy

[vacopolycangus]

On the live DVD, Aaron says that the band wrote down a lyric just for the recorded version. If you listen to the live version, the end of the chorus's are different every time...a lot of times, different members of the band say different things during that part. "Say something new," "feel something new," "feel something too," etc.

[drumma]

lol i lvoe that little drum opening haha its sounds so kool even though i bet i could learn it in a couple days it sounds so kool

[TheManofPaper]

I swear if you look at the audience, you might see Tom Cruise... Weird.

[Peaceove]

THis songs and this band just prove that that that that SKA JUST RULES

[TheDarkVice]

Scott gets his own little singing spotlight in this video. :)

[EerieIndiana]

Hehe, yeah, I love it.

[sum41gurlie90]

scott's soo hott in this video

[SkaGuitarGuru]

amazing how big ska was back in the making of this video...now nobody knows what it is (at least the uncool kids)

[supermatrix3]

So true dude, so true its sad that ska had to die, but its good to see reel big fish keeps it going

[Beamer4wheeler]

yeah dude, i totally agree

[Beamer4wheeler]

hahaha!!! I agree man! my friend and i are rude boys all the way

[JWW20037]

which album is this from?

[alfonzo007]

"Why Do They Rock So Hard?"

[JWW20037]

thanks

[Ola2512]

Dla tego właśnie polecałabym człowiekowi z początku XXI wieku podejście lekko ironiczne, trochę bezinteresowne i bardzo optymistyczne i pogodne. Aby nie podchodzić to tego co dzieje się na świecie i wkoło nas ze zbyt wielka powagą, ale z lekkim uśmiechem i spokojem. Wtedy łatwiej będzie mu znieść to, co pewnie by go zezłościło, zaniepokoiło lub zmartwiło.

[SkaGuitarGuru]

never do this again, dumbass

[seanisdead]

they must be amazing live

[wannabefob32]

one word describes this song

fun

w00t!

[KageNinja12]

def. one of my favorite RBF horn parts, its just so kickass lol

[punkwolf739]

This song is great. Haha, Scott, he's so funny.

[Stryker42]

YEAH i hope these guys make more albums!!!! These guys always make music and i end up loving it cause they play at the tones i like which is aweosme!!!

[SkatinatorS]

REEL BIG FISH FOR LIFE!!!

[venusmoonwalk]

RBF rule!

[KageX]

If he's so gay, why are the brilliant and why are posting here dickhead. I thought you liked your bwoy Fiddy' Cent.
