38.45 (A Thievery Number) by Thievery Corporation

[buffenbison]

if you have good subs on your bass speakers, relisten to this song on that system, the sub bass makes this song for me

[DraganDrabic]

[Heyemeyohsts]

They look like the blues brothers but less cool!

[jrivera55771]

this song is so ridiculously good on so many levels!

[realJG72]

It's true. Jamaicans are born into this world knowing martial arts. Don't mess with em.

[Karrico2012]

[cogdesign]

I love this video; these guys are so dynamic

[Slavonac001]

contageous tune

all day in my head

[MoneyIsSilver]

I like how they have all the illuminati/freemasonry references 

[Gorkovka79]

TC is like Radiohead, but they do their music in reggae-techno style)

[johnjohnboy100]

I love hip hop (of the past ) but im glad TC dont use any rappers in their music ....

[Callipso888]

...aż żyć się chce!!!!

[GrueneBiene]

How coudl they get so popular? Can not believe it...

[panzi45]

funny video and crazy soong!

[daylo1228]

38 45 reefers to differnt size records or dub plates, yup burn it down

[jerslee]

@daylo1228 actually 38...45 refers to the gun caliber of choice by the "rudeboy" or tough guys in jamaica... record size are 33 1/3 and 45

[PedrocasMan1]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[HerrNookenstien]

great vid but the audio is really distorted compared to the single.

[KaunisRoheline]

ahh, good chill music shit!

[vipersarmycrew]

bjory311 is right this song is from the sounds from the thievery hi-fi album released in 1996 and has nothing to do with 9/11......maybe bin laden watched this video......ha ha ha......conspiracy BULLSHIT

[bjory311]

Easy now... lol. You know this song came out years before the 2001 terrorist attacks right? The dudes in suits are the founders of Thievery Corp. and I doubt they're trying to portray CIA officers. Plus... .38s and .45s are calibers of guns (thievery numbers). That's probably more along the lines of what the song is about... just my thoughts.

[sheeple08]

@bjory311 thanks for the heads up, one of those coincidence thingies then... i stand corrected, just saying what i saw

[bjory311]

Cheers, dude. I was just saying what I saw too... but I still like your interpretation. (Especially when you say "weak sauce" lol) So maybe you're right. I'm certainly no authority... I just really love TC :)

[sheeple08]

and i think the cia men in black are meant to encompass cia/fbi/gov/big business/industrial military complex.

over.

peace out..

[EnufX2]

I think you're meant to take your medications and just chill for enjoying the artists' art.

[sheeple08]

3:19 empty brieface (rumours, mistruths, fear, given them an enemy)

3:26 bin laden/evil boss tries betray them (hench men arabic try to capture)

3:37 Rastas make them release/help CIA with terrorists (armed forces maybe or people with knowledge(smokers)) bit weak sauce here tbh

3:49 CIA escape taking girls (wealth? for 'evil boss')

3:55 unkown red things and plane flying overhead, men in black look back over shoulder - self explaintory.

Dont make me a nut, just saying what i c :)

[sheeple08]

Annialiator bloodclot nation (bloodthursty mo fo nation (USA?)

Smoke- it will give u better clarity to see through the lies ;p - since you must learn, give me the sensimillia, watch me make it burn

shown tape of 38.45 11/9

at 2:29 recording of earthquake/land disturbance/buildings falling?

2:41 walking passed small ghosts of office workers?

3min+ meet bin laden again give playing cards/tape 11/9

playing a game of monopoly (with us?)

Rewarded with briefcase maybe empty..cont

[sheeple08]

~Can no 1 else see what their intention is in this video, i think its pretty clear.

Notes:

38.45 is a also 11.9 or maybe 9/11.

Airplanes at start and finish in videos.

2 men in black (cia?) looking at time table.

Suitcases- contents unknown but destroy airplanes maybe possible/insinuated.

38/45 a thievery number 11/9 thats a rude boy number (evil?) the coroporation(establishment?)

Evil boss (james bondish/ bin laden) finds out plan, 2 men in black pay off.

(continued)

[angelbe88]

I caught that too. I'm in to Numerology.

[arehumansgood]

some of the lyrics kinda ruin it. kinda overdid. i love this song tho. i love the keyboard combined with the percussion

[SoSoRAW]

i disagree i thought the lyrics were pretty good haha. "since you must learn, give me the sinsemilla watch me make it burn." prob my favorite part.

[nancysadiq]

i think i'm going to quit my day job and chase my pipe dreams thanks to this song. yessssssssss.

[earnestcotton]

OMF WOW good song jesus man I love these guys for years and never hear this until now HAVE TO HAVE THIS thanks so much for my next obsession

[theblunted]

My favorite song of theirs...

[milodjilodj]

[bassist11223]

I just saw these guys at the 930 club, how much bass they have is insane

[rastaman36]

u lucky bastard! thats all i have to say :P!!!!!

[dm2377]

@bassist11223 i think they smoke weed so much

[milezla]

thieveries rule

[burro310]

Just shut the fuck up bitch @Heyemeyohsts

[omc03]

3+4+8+5 = 20

Thievery Corporation = 20 Characters (incl. space)

[arehumansgood]

thats obv not why

[omc03]

Mmm maybe, maybe not but it's still an interesting coincidence.

[8830609]

3+8+4+5=20 round this up

[Oscar301]

when i first heard this i thought it was a group of nifty rude boys, not 2 dj's from washington dc. ulp! fuckin top track tho

[oneloveT2]

there are many different artists that work with the Garza and Hilton. Watch a live performance on youtube. I believe this is Sleepy Wonder on vocals. Its a World ting anyway. Check out the new album radio retaliation if you havent yet. One.

[aeh20s]

this is not Sleepy on the vocals. this song was recorded years before Sleepy joined with TC. this is Zeebo and Roots of See-I.

[oneloveT2]

thanks good to know

[Myrmeen]

One passage of these lyrics say: "Since you must learn give your sense to me and watch me make burn" ... but what i always heard was: "Since you must learn give me your sensimilla and watch me make it burn" ;=)

[DanRivers2008]

this song is all about making "it" burn, green schmoke

[stanislavsd]

I love it :))

[bnm5015]

Bangin song, this video is weird... Is there some kind of real meaning behind 38.45??

[schypht]

As far as I can figure, they're handgun calibers- .38 special and .45 ACP.

[DrHMFIC]

yeah: a .38 built on a .45 frame

[georgebal06]
