Toadies - Possum Kingdom

[mooks997]

Great song from a great time period of music!!!!

[leximay1]

the real story is about girls getting abducted. 

[heavyhebrew]

I love the break and build up into a great mosh scene in the video.

Epic band is epic.

[JonathanJonnyJones]

@tixmastr Polka

Polka is definitely better than this garbage.

Even some Baroque era pieces involving a harpsichord could trump this.

American music sucks.  In fact, most North American music eats a dick. Bad lyrics with mediocre tunes. I'd lump this fag crap in with Nickelback.

[Moviesandvideo]

My grandpa is always listening to this crap.

[JonathanJonnyJones]

Retarded lyrics. American music sucks.

[mikejhaze]

@JonathanJonnyJones A wild Nickelback fan appears.

[ibanezgeorge]

@JonathanJonnyJones Eat a dick. Your favourited videos suck ass.

[JonathanJonnyJones]

@ibanezgeorge K. Don't care. Your taste for music is crap, which is a much more appropriate medium to gauge someone's personality than viewing the shit they watch on Youtube. I don't even favorite things on here, I just watch. Half the time I'm just clicking the bullshit that pops up on the list of similar and not-so-similar video links on the right (which is how I got to this shit-pile of a song). I'm sorry you were born with a poor Americanized taste for music. Sucks to be you! =(

[Fanciableproductions]

@JonathanJonnyJones If your going to troll my friend, come up with a better excuse than "I just click whatever pops up" Because we all know NOBODY randomly clicks things. Plus, Cmon, if you don't like the music, Okay, watch/listen to something else. just because you don't like the song, doesn't give you the right to insult anyone that might enjoy it. And before you reply with some insult, Im not going to have an argument with you, I stated my fact, and Im done, have a gudai

[JonathanJonnyJones]

@Fanciableproductions All I see here is: BLUR BLUR BAAARGH *butthurt* DURP DEEERRR DRP DERP DUHR! *incessant whining* and DEEPADEEDERPADOIP *cant win argument, leaves in frustration*

[N3vDawg]

@JonathanJonnyJones I've viewed your comments man. You're just some hater. I don't know what sorta satisfaction you get out of berating people on the internet, but it's really pathetic.

[JonathanJonnyJones]

@N3vDawg It makes me cum... all over my keyboard...

[Heppy12345]

In a 1995 interview with RIP magazine, Toadies lead singer Todd Lewis said: "It's just a story I heard long ago; it's just a really cool, eerie lake, and some stuff I heard and some stuff I just make up. I tend to do that. They dammed up this big river up there, and it's got all these spooky names like Hell's Gate. It's really cool."

[StigmatiX]

I live so close to Possum Kingdom lake and never knew/realized this song was about that. lol

[SuperAdosz]

Possum Kingdom's actually one of the most beautiful places in the world. It's a great feeling of freedom to be around it.

[aseeker469]

@SuperAdosz Agreed. PK is one awesome lake indeed. Likely the best in Texas, even more so than Travis. Now we need some rain to fill her back up to normal.

[xxMxOxMxMxYxx]

So help you, Jesus

[xxMxOxMxMxYxx]

@xxMxOxMxMxYxx But what if I'm Jesus... I won't help *you ;] Hahahahahahaha, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, AHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAAAAAA!!!­!!!!!!

[Thearthurembryband]

RAPEEEE!

[jrob9inson]

This song takes me back to highschool and patties run.

[greenfeatherful]

totally rock of tha era......!!!!

[LedWilde]

Todd Lewis is actually one of my favorite Rock singers, believe it or not. His voice stands out and he has his own style. Wish I had his exact singing voice! But I don't. Anyway, the album Rubberneck is a fuckin classic. Killer guitars in this song! You don't hear that much anymore. These days you just hear drop B power chords on the lowest part of the neck with bad singing. It's sad.

[reviseyourdemise]

@LedWilde he sounds like jonathan davis from korn! and i'm from the place the toadies came from >.>

[LedWilde]

@reviseyourdemise There is a similarity, now that you mention it, but to me there is still a huge a difference. To me anyway. I think this band came out first though, if not, the same time. You from Texas?

[reviseyourdemise]

@LedWilde i'm talking about them having the same voices but for sure their style is different! yeah, i'm from Fort Worth.. where the toadies are from!! :O

[AjaEmo]

@reviseyourdemise He also sounds a tiny bit like Jack White.

[SizedChewyStick]

@reviseyourdemise omg totally does sound like jonathan davis! i thought i was the only one who thought so xD

[reviseyourdemise]

@SizedChewyStick and the funny thing is they are from where i'm from :O

[partyspeltwrong4]

You dont own this song? dannggittt

[xxxxKissingInCarsxxx]

i actually found out today that I've been to possum kingdom when i was little, so i decided to listen to this:)

[jonnybretas]

very good

muito legal

[jonnybretas]

very good

[juices1234]

My brother went to the same high school as them... Must have been cool beans.

[TheBlingnbaby]

Guh, I would probably do some psycho stuff while this song was playing too. Love it.

[PwnageMewsic]

Yup, definitely didn't realize how disturbing this song was until today. =/

[121Ethan]

@PwnageMewsic Me fucking either lol did you read the top comment?

[velvetQueen699999]

This song sounds like it's about a vampire.

[wlangley88]

They are from Ft. Worth. Possum Kingdom Lake is about an hour west of there.

[ausdigaty]

is this song about sodamy???

HAHAHAHA!

[FlockTart]

@ausdigaty Everythings abotu sodomy

[Claudiface]

My dad would play this a lot when I was a child. I found it again today. :)

[TheUttexan]

9 people dont beleive in jesus

[snowbloodqueen]

This is a rape song. An anti rape song told through the eyes of a rapist...I never thought he could be a serial killer but it does make sense. When he says "So help me Jesus" it's as if he is mockingly praising Jesus or perhaps justifying/asking for forgiveness for what he is doing. Look up the meaning to this and Stone Temple Pilots "Sex Type Thing" it will explain it better.

[jroberts24]

hell, i thought it was about banging a chic behind a boathouse. lol

[MEforPitbulls]

Who cares what the song is about... It's awesome.

[fighterboy10]

@MEforPitbulls Ummmmm... Me. Cuz music is supposed to send a message... Just a thought :P

[Cramererica]

@MEforPitbulls Amen Brother!  :D

[ditagrace97]

it could be about unicorns for all i care :)

[TheButtascotchbro1]

@KirpenTheFlareon NEITHER IT ABOUT TEEN LOVE..

[lioftheflames]

I was mixing chemicals when i was camping and my friend said " do you wanna die?!" and then this song was playing when the singer was repeating "do you wanna die?" lol good times

[haileemiasienna]

sick shit

[Solroph]

This is one of my top 10 favorite songs ever. I have never heard anything like this song and it has such an amazing beat and tone.

[MegaKratos14]

man i love this song. i cant stop playing it.

[highvoltage4ify]

this song is awesome!!!!!!!!

[missalyss516]

bass is so sexy! ahhhhhhh i love it!

[RiverReid]

So amazingly creepy!

[KingBig1984]

about dislikes because its the popular thing to do

[KingBig1984]

Im upset



[MeezFun]

the last thing these fucking 8 idiots are going to see is my combat boots on their fuckin' heads.. may I go on?

[RudeTopic]

@MeezFun you wear combat boots?

[MeezFun]

@RudeTopic Yesh I do, I like combat boots o-o

[MultipleScrotum]

@MeezFun Gotta wear the combat boots, it's the only way to go.

[RudeTopic]

To the 8 people who disliked this... I FUCKED YOUR MUM! (:<

[wwhitzell]

it so a vampire song

[MeezFun]

@wwhitzell well... I think that Hellsing and the Toadies is godly, but it's about a murder story at the Possum Kingdom lake, there's much more on google, and theres a quote of him explaining it :]

[essiegirl7]

This is me and my friends song to life!:) We listen to it all the time at the pool we lifeguard at:) LOVE IT!

[16erdfour0netwo]

Hey people...I'm listening to the song now (at this time) the "thumbs up" is 420:)

I used to be the biggest stoner and this was one of my favorite songs to get stoned to!

Not as much of a pothead anymore, but I am high ; )

[stelladiver88]

God I love this song.

[jessica9511r]

is this about rape?

[bxbova]

@jessica9511r its about a vampire showing his lover what he is and her rejecting him so he has to kill her cuz she cant live as a human and hold that information

[stelladiver88]

@jessica9511r From what I've heard, it is based on a murder that happened at Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas. -> In a 1995 interview with RIP magazine, Toadies lead singer Todd Lewis said: "It's just a story I heard long ago; it's just a really cool, eerie lake, and some stuff I heard and some stuff I just make up. I tend to do that. They dammed up this big river up there, and it's got all these spooky names like Hell's Gate. It's really cool."

[mojorisen74]

@stelladiver88 Check out the movie "The cabin behind the lake". I swear they got the idea for that movie from this tune!

[mothershipish1]

@jessica9511r its about a phsycopathic murderer who stalks a beautiful chick and is obssessd with her and eventually kills her and chops her up like sliced ham

[megaman100001]

What year did this song come out?

[mojorisen74]

@megaman100001 1995.....

[ladyodessasilvererg]

Yes, I know what the songs really about, but it does sound like it could be about a vampire. And I'm not just some little twilight fangirl saying that either. Long before Twilight ever existed, this song reminded me of The Vampire Chronicles. :P

[soali001]

BE MY ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!



[Charsept]

its a vampire song, i dont care what the wiki says

[TheCrappyComputer]

(Insert epic guitar here)

/watch?v=aSI-Wk00rVw

[AGuitarNinja]

This song was based on me

[killerpoomuffin]

@AGuitarNinja Rebecca Blacks Friday Was Based On You.

[AGuitarNinja]

@killerpoomuffin the fact that I had to look that up shows your gayness

[killerpoomuffin]

@AGuitarNinja How Does You Opening Up Your I-tunes Folder Prove My Gayness?

[81thirtytwo]

@killerpoomuffin youve never heard this song really?? my god it was so over-played on fm airwaves. dude its like the gayest song on planet eart, worst lyrics ever too...

[harfo68]

@81thirtytwo HAY HOMO,NEW KIDS ON THE COCK ARE BACK,SO CAN WATCK THEM SWALLOW CUM,WHILE YOU DO THE SAME!

[americanhero6970]

My B-sack is itching a bit

[zxcv06]

so help me jesus <3

[17NJDevilsfan]

8 people need a great kick below the belt

[DracoDravon]

8 people hate this song... they obviously don't like being treated well, either that or they are just trolling around, at this time period it's hard to tell.

[grafixxs]

8 retards!!!



[witri9]

I'm convinced this song is about the defrocking of a young girl's innocence.

[ladyodessasilvererg]

I know what this song is about. But I still find it sexy. Then again I'm kinda into psychos....hehe

[comingforyou10]

@ladyodessasilvererg whats it about

[ladyodessasilvererg]

@comingforyou10

Possum Kingdom is actually a real place, a lake in Texas near where The Toadies are from. Well, some girls were murdered there. They believe it to be the work of a serial killer and this is sort of from the serial killer's point of view.

[Hippiechick360]

@ladyodessasilvererg Wicked.

[TheButtascotchbro1]

@ladyodessasilvererg IN LITERATURE TO DIE MEANS TO HAVE A ORGAZIM..MOSTLY IN WILLIAM SHAKSPEARS WORK..

[ladyodessasilvererg]

@TheButtascotchbro1

I am aware of that and that is an interesting interpretation of the song, but look up the song meaning for yourself. They really did write it about a serial killer. Of course, music is meant to be a personal experience, and regaurdless of what the song means to the musician, it can mean whatever you like it to for yourself. That's the beauty of music. :)

[TheButtascotchbro1]

@ladyodessasilvererg Ifeel you on thte serial killer part..which I find kinda creepy in of it self..and your right music can mean various things 2 each person..I'm just happy 2 b talking 2 another MUSIC LOVER AND SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTOOD WHAT i WAS SAYING ABOUT IT AND THE MEANING OF IT IN LITERATURE..LOVE AND PEACE 2 U AND YOURS 4 EVER..

[TheButtascotchbro1]

@ladyodessasilvererg  oh yeah get at me about the true meaning..a killer really..i mean really..thats kinda sad..

[ladyodessasilvererg]

@TheButtascotchbro1

It is. :) But as I said, it can mean whatever you like it to for yourself.

[TheButtascotchbro1]

@ladyodessasilvererg I'LL JUST KEEP GOOD THOUGHT GOING IN REGARD THAT..I GUESS IT'S LIKE NURSERY RYTHMES BEING ABOUT DEATH AND DISEASE..THAT'S REALLY WILD..

[TheMissionariesKid]

@ladyodessasilvererg Yep. I have been to the lake. :P

[supaFlyingCow]

@ladyodessasilvererg

dang really? i did not know that! o___o

makes sense now, thanks.

[heyitsthatguitardude]

@ladyodessasilvererg Well then. I always just thought it was about some horny teenager >.>

[113089Ashley]

@ladyodessasilvererg me too ;-)

[naturallogicskincare]

@ladyodessasilvererg Hey there! I've always loved this song, based on what it means to me in my head, but I have no idea what it's actually about. Feel like sharing? Thanks!

[100dollarjerk]

@ladyodessasilvererg i know right. Not that im into psychos but, even though I know this song is about a serial killer, you can't help but dig the beat.

[LedWilde]

This whole album is a great one. I recommend it.

[razzeldazzel55]

I <3 this song

[msmaryjayn420]

this is a old song!!!!

[danman55555]

I heard this song driving home today. I hadn't heard it in years. I was so fucking happy.

[nolifewoutdeath]

i play guitar and i've got it down ok. that said, the guitars aren't flashy but work really well. i don't have a guitar w/ a wammy bar but i've messed with 'em. these guys have used in a really cool, chilled way.

[LedWilde]

@nolifewoutdeath They (the guitar players in this band) have style.

[ragingstorm33]

thums up if your sick of the 3 people blah blah blah crap on every you tube video ever

[booooooolpusterd]

@ragingstorm33 Dude Relax its fun

[DallasTheMuse]

Wow ok just so every one knows this is a bout a serial killer who's name i forget but my mum studied him, he would talk all sweet and sudduce women to come behind a bout house in a lake that somone mentioned in the comments below, his dark secret is he's going to kill them, like your stay as beautiful with dark hair and soft skin for ever.... this is talking about her being dead bc you dont grow old if your dead. the do you wanna die should really give this away and the dready sound :) ur welcom

[codyjak]

@DallasTheMuse make luv to me.............no really thank you...i had no idea this was based on a real killer.....

[ZilaFreakinZombie]

@DallasTheMuse I Heard This Song Was also about murder cases btut at a river call Possum Kingdom IN Texas(Ithink in Texas) Hense the name.

And as stupid as this maty seem, That some of the cops on the mjurder case, where convinced that vampires where the killers. I believe in that, i dont know if you do.

Idknooow. Yours seems more logical.

[TheLuckyChocolate]

luv dis song

[givesahfuckboutu]

I have two tats 'Angel' & 'Sweetz'

My fav road rage saying: Do you wanna die?!

This is my song!

[CanaanIsSnazy]

My band and I cover this song, it sounds pretty good. :D

[SNEEDaGoon]

Be, My, Angel.

[phantomshot420]

its also about possum kingdom lake (: i go every chance i get cause i live by it, this is proof great bands come from texas

[sync500]

My first thought was vampire, but I was reading Vampire Lestat at the time..so it suits both imo.:)

[Harleysvideos]

I like toads  i like turtles i like toadies

[urockme100]

He's a VAMPIRE kids.

[theshadowofafigure]

''I will treat you well, my sweet angel. So help me, Jesus'' That is my favorite part!! I love this song!

[DirtyRatBastard]

8 People don't want to walk around the lake by my side.

[MrWhitepower27]

this song kix ass wtf is wrong with u people

[JayGB87]

THIS SONG IS NOT ABOUT VAMPIRES!

It's about a real serial killer, look it up!

[maggotforlife1995]

@JayGB87 jesusu calm down bro dont bust a nut....



[AliciaLessThan3]

seven are already dead.

[bigdude191]

6 people have no ears.

[MastaDRD]

6 people wanna die.

This comment will be irrelevant within the week, but it'll still end up in Highest Rated.

[maggotforlife1995]

i absolutely hate vampires but this song is still bad ass!!!!!

[MastaDRD]

It may not have been intended as a vampire song, but it makes a lot more sense than the incredibly vague description they gave. As such, I'll continue to think of this as a vampiric song. (And fuck Twilight, it's a blight on the world. Vampires were around a long time before that dipshit Meyer, and they'll outlive her too.)

[cupcakesbr]

Behind the boat house! ; )

[robbocop365]

now im the 5th to dislike the song! I'll abuse you guys so badly you'd think I was a friend of the family!

[blackraynestorm]

Oh God. All this Twilight shit is degrading to such a great song. *sigh

[misskiwi97]

[squid2369]

Excellent song

[Bdavis454]
