the swimming song by loudon wainwright iii

[mistaive]

@MilkingTheMilkLady I do both and longboarding and skateboarding are equally hard in their own way. I longboard more and think that if you try to do tricks then longboarding is much harder. Try doing a shuvit into a ghostride kickflip 180 into a noseside powerslide going 25mph, it isnt easy.

[wildnkarafree]

I love this song... last night I had the opportunity to hear Loudon play it live... it's the kind of song.. you don't even think about it.. you just get up and find your self dancing...

[lokotron1]

when youtube people are friendly and get along, that will indicate we are a civilized world.

by now your just a parameter on how lame society is.

youtube people represent average thinking.

[godfadda13]

Holy shit, people! Can't we just listen to a happy song and feel happy about it? Why do you have to make fun of each other? I know vetiver covered this and it was used on a longboarding video which i love, but both versions are great. Lets just chill and be happy, regardless of which version you prefer and if you like longboarding or not

[WouldPushin]

longboarding is gay

[TheAstonM12]

I prefer this version to Vetiver's though theirs is good. They play it in a different key.

[surferdudeman1998]

best song ever



[samkitto010]

anyone know where i can get the banjo tab music sheets for this song?

[vMeqaaz]

Shut up with all this "longboard shit" the songs amazing.

[csaw12]

i hate winter, it sucks, and this song makes me happy

[MilkingTheMilkLady]

Why are people even talking about longboarding? Longboarding is for people who don't know how to skateboard, but still try to call themselves skateboarders. Riding down a hill is not a skill. I do it all the time skateboarding.

[bigrecexec]

@MilkingTheMilkLady looks like we have a badass over here!

[MilkingTheMilkLady]

@bigrecexec Explain how I'm trying to be a bad ass, when I'm simply pointing out that longboarding sucks?

[bigrecexec]

@MilkingTheMilkLady because you are saying longboarding sucks cuz it's easy. Just because something is harder to do doesn't make it more fun. plus you sound like a faggot.

[Kingspawn000]

@MilkingTheMilkLady Try doing it at 30+ mph while drifting into a turn on your slide gloves. If you wanna pick on someone, pick on lugers. They don't even stand up. :p

[ishikawabitch]

@MilkingTheMilkLady longboarding is completely different from skateboarding, i don't think you can even compare the two. although you can trick on longboards, its more for free ride and like skateboarding, a lifestyle that has been created around it. stop trying to patronize long boarding. what are you even trying to prove? pathetic

[Theseanandjoe]

This Song reminds me of longboarding!

[Fishman4you1]

original!

[sfrance783]

unsa man ni nga kanta ui...

[LoLer9821]

this version is better

[gbrendan]

longboard is the wrongboard hahahaha heard this in the 4star pink motel video! 

[Diansti]

I miss the summer when i hear this song :(

[TheThroughtheAir]

It doesn't matter if this was on a longboard video. It doesn't matter if Veviter did cover. What matters is this is an amazing song.

[bootlace88]

I love this song, I heard the McGarrigles sing it in concert in Croydon way way back. So sad that Kate is no longer around.

[emnity33]

OK! Who the hell wrote the original song where can I get the godamn song for god damn god damit

[LAXBRUIN9]

to the longboarders this is the original version not the pintail vid even tho

im getting a pintail and for those who already liked this song who cares if we heard of it from a longboard vid???

[sleepisforhumans]

Ahh good old music. I definitely like this version a lot more than Vetiver (or whoever they are), but they did do a good job. Still makes me feel like longboarding all day!

[pallidsoul]

Pintails <3

[gallowaygrumblefield]

Click Thumbs Up if you couldn't give a flying fuck about the Longboards or Veviter or any other second rate band because you love this song, you love Loudon Wainwright singing it, and you will accept no crappy substitutes!

[otherpeopleslives]

who's the handsome dude?

[MasonDaFeesh]

DUDE BEST CAMERA WORK EVER!

[ellaelise]

What the fuck is Original Skates? More like The Squid and The Whale.

[TheRandomcityproject]

@ellaelise go die

[daniellethinksurgay]

way better than the vetiver version! i love it ! the instruments sounds amazing.

[padraigpurseal]

God there's a memory first saw the McGarigles do it in Dublin nearly 40 years ago, still sounds great

[Biggiiful]

I saw the longboard video and i fell in love with the song right away. I love that version. I searched for this song and came up with this. I put it on and at first i didn't like it as much, but that lasted like 10 seconds. Because very soon i felt the soul in this version. I still love the cover but the heart/soul coming out of this one isn't quite matched in the Vetiver cover.

[abennett4]

love the energy

[SeIzmIc12]

reminds me of summer... to bad it f!#@$&* 0 degrees here

[tienmanhwb]

good

[plasticbeach69]

Thumbs up if you got this song from Fourstar clothing skate vid.

[foxhound8901]

Our english teacher played this at the very end of the very last class Ill ever have in secondary school. Hes some man

[otherpeopleslives]

@littleboy555 I completely agree with you.

[Ydeable]

Simple and chilled

[stpierreorama]

whats wrong with longboarders coming to hear this song, its obviously a really good song and that longboarding video was great! the song was perfect for that video, shit now i wanna longboard.

[Muttt13]

If anyone has the tabs for Banjo, PLEASE hit me up

[annabelfrances]

wow, this brings back so many childhood memories. xxxxxx

[kwok333]

who the fuck unlike?

[LiamPadraigGarvan]

This song makes me happy!

[NEWeastwick]

PARENTHOOD!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Nokyo]

Am I the only one who hears the difference between the Vetiver cover and the original...

[chunking0]

lol got this song from original skates

[MidWestCuzzos]

im into hip hp rap and all of that but thiz gy iz an amazin singer

[tapper1477]

Think positive. Keep swimming.

[tepidfaith]

Well the vetiver song was on an album they did that was all covers...They probably just did covers of all the songs that inspired them to be who they are today...This is just a tribute ;)

[gachaim]

Go Longboard, go my Pintails 46!!

[alexpuchianu]

Very good song. Do you think this is his best song or would you recommend another one?

[lizbizzie]

This song makes me cry. I do not know why.

[1americanidol11]

Love this song!!! I heard it on parenthood and it's awesome!

[TheLeilisa]

Does swimming regularly make you grow taller?

[DrunkPerson]

@TheLeilisa nah but good health and fitness can

[TheLeilisa]

@DrunkPerson there is this product " helpo growth formula" it so far works for me . I need a couple of inches more.

[MikeSkiera]

LOL I hate to swim

[acmelder]

c(=

[MrCarcango]

LOL i like to swim also

[MrCarcango]

LOL i like to swim

[Taglete]

No matter what did you think the song,I like it so much.....

[mallyRIN]

Heard this in the Squid and the Whale and I have to say I fell in love :)

[sebasbritish]

i think like everyone came here with orignal longboards they should gt payyed by the song for promoting it lol but seriously

[rtist15]

Wheres a download for this?!

[MikeSkiera]

I'm a self-destructive fool (I'm a self-destructive fool)

[Denzelv26]

I dont like this kind of music...but i like this song...is that wierd?

[nikowe123]

0:28 RAPER

[nikowe123]

i seem to longboard better when i listen to this song

[Rheo4]

The version of the song that Original Longboards put in there video isn't this version The Swimming Song - Vetiver -----> thats the one on the video.

[littleboy555]

@Rheo4 whats the point of that cover? it's an almost exact replica.

[rathil]

@littleboy555 I guess Vetiver just wanted to play the song. There are dozens of covers of this particular song out there.

[littleboy555]

@rathil when a band stays so true to the original, it seems to me like they're almost stealing credit. guiding all these longboarders to the wrong youtube video and shit... confusing the uninformed...

[rathil]

@littleboy555 Not the bands fault. Blame those who used the song for their vid.

[AdventOctober]

@littleboy555 Definitely man. A proper cover should be a totally different style of music to the same lyrics if you ask me.

[jacobpaleschic]

@littleboy555 I wasn't gonna say it, but you said, and I 'liked it'.

[bakerB1B2]

@littleboy555 i totally see where your coming from, but maybe Vetiver loved this song and related to it, so much so that they felt they should be apart of it, but you are right, people shouldnt be miss lead, so I thank you for guiding them the right way

[calmlikeabomb123]

@littleboy555 I wouldn't have found this if it werent for vetiver.

[Atom1kYak]

@littleboy555 I have to disagree. The album that came from was released specifically as a cover album. This song is very similar to the original, which imho seems to be a tribute rather than theft.  I agree with littleboy555, it does pretty much seem like they just wanted to play it, rather than rip anybody off. Especially longboarders. I'm sure they're not the intended victims.

[BananaConcoction]

@littleboy555

It's noticeably different. I like the vetiver version better, sounds more modern.

[MastaAtotheS]

@littleboy555 it's on an album of vetiver that's actually a cover album, so in that sence it's more a tribute to beautiful music rather than actual 'stealing'. Though i do share your pov when it comes to covers that are meant as a single, to gain popularity (like the horrifying barbara streisand - duck sauce).

[Flagnagdes]

@littleboy555 just listened to that Vetiver cover, and I couldn't agree more. They even do the "aaaayyyy-eeee!" ad-lib during the breakdown. It's one thing to play a song you love for fun, and there's certainly a place for that, but I'm baffled as to why Vetiver would think they needed to record a cover that derivative. Maybe because they'll never write a song this good?

[sketchmaster50th]

@littleboy555 who gives a sweet fuck Vetiver did it better lol

[theblackcowy]

@littleboy555 plagiarism is the highest form of flattery

[odoylerules101]

@theblackcowy my weiner is the highest form of flattery

[lamby908]

@littleboy555 because the one on the original longboard video is better

[CrushableBike]

@Rheo4 thx m8 ive been looking 4 it every where!

[Rheo4]

@CrushableBike no prob man. i get confused with original pieces and covers all the time. especially with a song like this were the cover is so similar yet has something different about it.

[ttoms96]

@Rheo4 i like the original version wayy better than any of the covers. idk how anyone could make a good cover of it anyways????

[Rheo4]

@ttoms96 well anyone can make a "good" cover of any song if they have the talent to pull it off. the original version and cover by vetiver are practically the exact same, its mainly just the vocals that are different. so i thought the cover was pointless, yet amazing. even though it sounds just like the original, theres something different about it. and vetiver is the only band ive heard cover this song, so im not sure what the others sound like. i like the original version better also.

[I454l]

Longboarding + this song = Perfect

[mrchristiansven]

am i the only one that has no idea what original skateboards is?

[nyeehmads]

@mrchristiansven

a longboard company that used this song in one of their videos :D great vid and great song!

[MastaAtotheS]

@mrchristiansven you're just the only one who doesnt know google apparently...

It's a brand of longboards, who use songs like this one on their promo videos. You should check it out, longboarder or not...

[DaytimeFadesUp]

this song is by Vetiver. Did Loudon Wainwright do it first or is it Vetiver's song, cuz I love Vetiver's version to the end of the world and back and will be sorely disappointed if it's not their song

[jrigdon41]

@DaytimeFadesUp Vetiver covered it.

[MySexyPenguin]

Not to detract from this song, as I think I'm burning the image into my screen and whatnot, but another good one is 5 Years Time by Norah and The Whale.....it has the whole Wes Anderson-ish Royal Tenenbaums-esque-ness to it....(enough hyphenations for ya?)

But still pretty easy going....

[DaDazey]

Addictive kinda song innit?

[ReviensZidane]

no doubt
