Kentucky Headhunters - The Ballad Of Davy Crockett

[plumwoodray]

wow,this takes me back,listen to this on way work when i was 15yrs old.

[tristanfenton]

these guys a fucking great..I've never heard of them till today

[wavygr]

In a Mexican officer's diary it was stated Crockett and several other men were found hiding in a barracks they were taken out and executed. No one really knows what happened to him, The diary could have been forged. Love this group though, Weren't the Headhunters a one hit wonder?

[johnteed]

@wavygr I'm not sure how many number one hits they had, but there are at least 3 songs of theirs that I know. Including this one of course. I don't think they were a one-hit wonder. i could be wrong though. :)

[fourbyfourer]

Who's the bieber suckers that dislike this classic??

Ya gotta love The Headhunters..

[hardhand14]

I'm not even American and I know that Davy Crockett (1786 – 1836) was a real person.

Great video, reminds me of the Banana Splits on tv in my far distant youth

[poundokush420]

@hardhand14 My dad told me that i was related to him.

[wpettus13]

The famous last words of Davy Crockett to the U.S. Senate, “You can go to hell -- I’m going to Texas!”

[dao3rd123]

Of course Davy was real. I just got finished reading his biography. What people don't realize is that he was always poor and owed money or land to a lot of people. He was honest and did try to pay his debts. He took after his father, John who had the same problem.

[tonyridlen]

This is definitely a great song!!!!!

[WBWARRIOR77]

Most of the confusion surrounding both of these very real Americans is due to content being cut from history classes so that schools can try to "make" AYP sacrificing knowledge for process and test taking skills and that Walt Disney used the same actor Fezz Parker to play both Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone in the 1950s.

[domcplnc]

@WBWARRIOR77 David Crockett was captured at the Alamo and executed in Mexico

[MrKolt2112]

we are all trolls....hence youtube comment sections....

[evsynator]

You are never dead while people still think about you or even singing about you !.

[poundokush420]

i am related to davy crockett

[Kodiak157]

@poundokush420

Davey Crockett is fictional. You can only be related to him if you don't really exist

[BuzCzar]

@Kodiak157 Davy Crockett fictional? Man, your education left you lacking. There were fictional stories written about the man, but real..he was as real as it gets. Google is your friend. Try it.

[Kodiak157]

@BuzCzar Yes, Davey Crockett is fictional. His stories (written by Disney) were based on the life of Daniel Boone (who also had fictional stories written about him). Try researching history in a library instead of on the internet. I would suggest taking some history classes but in this country you might as well get your info from google or wikapedia. Those of us with masters degrees in American History are all trying really hard not to laugh at you right now.

[BuzCzar]

@Kodiak157 you are either a troll or a fool. If you are a troll congratulations, you got me. If you aren't then you really should go to a library, look up " A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett of Tennessee" That's the autobiography he wrote and was published in 1834. Also, he was a member of the U.S. Congress beginning in 1827. Your claim of a Masters in American History is a very poor lie. Your ignorance of one of the important historical figures of TN and Texas independence proves it.

[LuvBugLuvver]

@Kodiak157 Actually, the real history classes I remember taking in high school say that yes, there actually was a real historical figure named David Crockett who did indeed die at the battle of the Alamo. According to Wikipedia, he served as a house representative of the state of Tennessee from 1826-1830 and again in 1832.

[mypiratehat]

@Kodiak157

Are you really that fucking stupid?

I'm ashamed to be considered a History Masters with you.

[Jaschlueter]

@Kodiak157 Edward Sylvester Ellis (April 11, 1840 – June 20, 1916) This man wrote a biography of Davy Crockett published in the mid 1880's. This man obviously believed Crockett was a real person. You can find official record of his election to the United States House of Representatives. I also own a set of the Encyclopedia Brittanica published in 1888 which has an entry for Davy Crockett and gives the same information many others have posted.

[morosemoose]

@Kodiak157 Congressman David Crockett was born in 1786, elected to congress in 1826 and died at the Alamo 15 1836. If you have a masters degree in history, I'm Millard Filmore.

[Kodiak157]

@Kodiak157 Ok, OK, I was wrong, he's not fictional. You can stop replying to this now (sheesh)

[morosemoose]

@Kodiak157 OK! Just don't let it happen again.

:-)

[JimHadar1]

This never fails to make me smile. It (the vid not the song) has such a Monkees-esq or Beatles-esq quality to it.

[mogges1]

What ever happen to these long haired hillbilles.

[sonicthehamilton]

@mogges1 ..they're still around lol

[ilovepetsandpetshops]

This is so old lol !

[whammimjammin]

[BigDogJoe315]

[lakemead00]

[domcplnc]

These guys were just too weird to be around long. Miss em

[miralgo1962]

These guys are nuts! Check out their best song by far Walk Softly On This Heart of Mine

[kodicici]

There guys are cool.

[thegunky123]

[pureinheart777]

heres a quiestion for all the christians who are watching this.

what,would,jesus,do

should a bornagain christian lissen to worldly music?

is it ok?

[pctechnet]

@pureinheart777 what would Allah do? listen too this Yankee infidel music.

[pureinheart777]

@pctechnet

i'm not into your god.

my God Jehovah is the creator.

who came to the earth in the flesh through the virgin mary in the SUP-PER-NAT-ER-AL by the holy spirit to give birth to jesus who grow up to become a man..who died on a cross for my sins!

jesus is the only way unto the father God Jehovah in heaven.

jesus saves!

i'm a jesus freak!!

[carmekino]

@pureinheart777 It's "supernatural", sweetheart. And, as a Christian, I listened to a lot of Country growing up, so it's alright. You're not going to be thunder-bolted for watching the video. It's classic 90's country. Live a little. Oh, and, FYI: when you talk about Jesus and God, always capitalize. It's a sign of respect and let's people know that you really are serious about who you are and your religion.

[freddie171]

@pureinheart777 I am a born again christian and i don't see a problem with this music.

[pureinheart777]

@freddie171 not sure about the music here. i'd have to check it out to tell you my opinion. the only way i could say is this. its all about the heart. whats your heart doing. jesus is about us being rightious. so rightiousness appeals to jesus if it pleases jesus then the musics fine...but remember music can sound lovely but you need to check out the lirics ephesions 6:6 may help to define the music. W.W.J.D.

[carmekino]

@pureinheart777 Righteous and righteousness.What's. Music's. Lyrics. Ephesians. Pick up a friggin dictionary... Remember from school, capitalize the first letter of the first word of every sentence, and I when it's not used in the middle of a word.

[zombiedrummerkissfan]

@pureinheart777 You Know, One Of My Heroes, Billy Graham, Told Another One Of My Heroes, Johnny Cash, That It's Okay To Listen To and Play "Worldy" Music. God Ain't Gonna Send You To Hell For Listening To A Song. And If It's So Wrong For A "Born Again Christian" To Listen To and Watch This, Then Why On Earth Were You Watching It For In The First Place? You Had To Watch It In Order To Comment On It...

It Makes No Sense.

Explain It To Us...

[Fueldaddy76]

I never kilt a bear. They just walk up to me and die.

Digs for this band tho. Been rockin' 'em for well over a decade and still lovin 'em.

[wappco]

I "kilt a bar" when i was 27 ..... late bloomer

[MrCardinalzboy]

i like this song

its sounds really good

[grandslam1998]

I killed a baar when i was only two. Love this song and the group

[ronelvis]

Never saw this one before. What can I say?  It's brilliant, reminds me of the Monkees, but with better music.

[SSTRAUT]

these are my cuzens 

[unclejay1973]

I was raised on Classic Rock, moved into Heavy Metal, Blues, Jazz in my teens and 20's...but my heart always belonged to Rockabilly beginning with Elvis. Straight Country was never really a favorite of mine, but my respect and admiration has grown through the years...but these guys were always great, and had a great knack for edging into Rockabilly territory. A great band...would love to see them release a tribute to Sun Records album.

[Boots1282]

omg like this video rocks 

[Mangina9000]

And they built a Walmart and all the rednecks were happy and fat forever. Amen.

[gypsyseagod]

[bgredneck90]

vevo if you were a man i would punch you in the face, repetatively! These advertisements are bull shit

[1dabirdman]

gotta love the headhunters! great songs with harmonies and hooks. something that for some reason is out of touch with the youth of today.

[RomanoGiovanni]

Back in the day when music videos could be funny, family friendly and just a raucous good time, and still top charts.
