The Hippos - Wasting My Life

[Skapunkfan1]

1:25, Black Flag shirt :D

[Lallen785]

Are The Hippos still going? I haven't heard them for years!

[jeepwranglergirl1234]

@ 0:18 he's got really pretty eyes!

[WhisperingRose08]

I was watching the movie Snow Day. It's on FX and this song came on when they were ice skating and I had to look up the song I love this song cos of that movie :) I also love Another Dumb Blonde by Huko.

[rocker1227]

aw-good-soong..what-year-was-t­hat??

[musicman11231]

One of my favorite bands from my high school years, and a song that's still applicable to my life right now... Great video!

[syahhh1110]

Guy in glasses. :D

[missalice0306]

Gosh-the last time I heard this was on the school bus in 2nd grade! Thanks a million!

[heartkillslogic]

Awww what a flashback to Sophomore year of high school =]

[Sunfizz98]

Great band!! Lots of jumping too

[syahhh1110]

I love his voice xD

[Popogodo373]

Ska needs to make its come back cause it's BAD ASS!!

[Kipohippo21]

Yes. Yes. YES. 

[niggly54]

I miss the earlier days of the Hippos. Evidently, they bought into that whole crappy electronic-pop rock scene. Still waiting on Ska to make its heroic comeback.

[ZXAnton]

@niggly54 We can only hope it does comeback...

[74pecaji]

dannys mom works in my school

[ZyxthePest]

I so want this version of the song.

The album version is great as well.

[9ooglesuxballs]

@ZyxthePest This is the album version

[ZyxthePest]

Nope, production is different on this version, there's an album version on here somewhere if you wanna compare.

[9ooglesuxballs]

@ZyxthePest The album is in my CD player right now. Apart from the bit that the teacher says at the start, it's the same version as they used for this film clip.

[ZyxthePest]

@9ooglesuxballs Well I don't know where you found your version, but the album I purchased physically in 1998 and on ITunes doesn't have the same emphasis on synths, nor does it have the odd little production quirk from 0:10 to 0:13.

[ZyxthePest]

*1999

[psycho757]

the lead singer looks like dennis from it's always sunny in philadelphia

[cuando35]

remember this song from the movie snow day

[M15CY]

AMOEBAS!! 

[rocketboy375]

Anyone in the uk wanna start a Pop Punk/Punk Rock/Skate Punk band influenced by bands like blink-182, Fenix TX, Sum 41, Bowling For Soup,? Green Day, Less Than Jake, The Offspring, MXPX, New Found Glory etc? Message? me!

I play drums :)

[TheDavidsvideos]

this definatly deserves to have more views

[MrEpiccowful]

I got into The Hippos after watching a Scooby Doo film XD Alien Invasion to be exact they do a great song on it called 'The Aliens are here'.

[tokyochaser]

@hydrolize this is definitely a different mix than the mix on the cd...it has almost all the horns removed and some more synth mixed in. Its similar to the horn-less version of less than jake's "science of selling your self short" that they tried to get radio stations to play. My local radio station still played the horn version.

[hydrolize]

The funny thing is that on the CD this song has a horn section playing at some parts. In the video you can clearly see the trumpet player with and without his trumpet in scenes.

[Jemilia82]

Does anyone know where I could find The Hippos - Shake It Up?

[bricbob1986]

man, the hippos were bad ass, i got there cd when i was into ska and punk before the shit got all emo and stupid. it used to be fun, funny and creative, now everybody is fucking crying with their black hair in their eyes, crying about nothing, and pretending to play instruments. pathetic.

[FireDuderox]

@bricbob1986 No thats just Streetlight Manifesto

[Kobifia]

@bricbob1986 I know I'm gonna sound like such a dipshit but what's ska?

[Nickwritesthescene]

@Kobifia an orgasm to your ear.

[TheGMZSPhilms]

@bricbob1986 Gotta dig for the good shit bro.

[aguafinatv]

@bricbob1986 When did ska n punk change to emo? n why do you think it did?

[ErickReyKing1]

[jukka4president]

[AESTAUS]

this song IS sickkk, but admit it gets annoying.

[Richthofen80]

I wish they kept their horn section. Saw them live at the Palladium in Worcester, MA ten years ago. 

[SymmetricPanda]

I wish this band was still together D:

[Mastercheefin]

This version sucks, it is missing all the amazing drum fills.

[SkinsVsPigeon]

[timothyleephillis]

explain how vevo ruined youtube? i'm watching the video i wanted at the click of a button. fucking retard.

[zill150]

@timothyleephillis videos on vevo load 10 times slower... thats how

[timothyleephillis]

@zill150 not seeing a difference... get off of AOL maybe?

[BillyCauseyjr]

@timothyleephillis because Vevo makes money off youtube and takes away from the smaller amature artists who originally used this site.

but youtube has been a money machine for years now and it's not entirely Vevo's fault..... they just propogated a situation the creators and moderators made.

[yobito]

vevo fucked youtube everyone knows it, maybe u r the only asshole that was lucky, but for everyone else vevo loads slow as hell, thats why it ruined youtube idiot

[carbacher]
