This song was named after the illegitimate child of Marcus' mandolin & Winston's banjo, born in a hobby shop off of I-72 after the instruments fell in love and ran away together in search of a better price for a Costco chicken bake. They received a lot of flack from the band, especially Winston, who had a very personal connection with his banjo. He & his banjo went through a lot together, notably a zombie apocalypse. Winston has since put his banjo on a leash & only lets it outside on Tuesdays.
OMG! I've just fell in love with this band. They are all SO talented... I could never do what Marcus does with all those instruments at the same time!
Well, I love them playing the instruments, love the voice(s), love the songs, the melodies... EVERYTHING!
I wish that someday they would come to Brazil!!!! I need to see them playing live! =Z
Mumford & Sons are probably the most amazing band ever to use a kids toy in their songs! I love them so much, and the connection between Marcus and John Lennon is uncanny!
Probably commented on this video about a million times but I cant get enough of mumford and sons. I think winston should just cut out the crap and marry me now.
The accordion is a percussion instrument today, and a Fisher Price xylophone, a professional music maker's tool. Is there anything they can't do? Anybody hear "Little Lion Man" at the end?
Not to sound like a geek: but the word 'xylo' means 'wood' in Greek, and therefor what everyone calls a xylophone is not a xylophone. A real xylophone is most similar to a marimba. This is more a colorful glockenspiel.
@tomcoletti2353 hi, i know you've gotten a lot of attacks about this but heres one more. what he's playing isn't a toy, it's an instrument. yes, it's designed for kids but it's still an instrument nonetheless and people are supposed to make "music from it!!!" i think marcus is awesome and very talented, but he is playing that xylophone exactly how it's built/supposed to be played. it makes sense to get excited about the fact he's using it, since it works so well here, but not how he's using it.
Hey guys, um, I did a guitar cover of "Nothing" by The Script by ear. It's on my channel if you want to check it out? It's 80% improv. So if you could that would be awesome :D Thanks! :)
@paulrichardhammond You can't spell so your taste in music is suspect as well. Maybe not but maybe so, not no chance - people are tired of pop, rap and screamo. To each their own but my guess is these guys will be musically successful.
Marcus was soooo shy back then! I mean he's still shy now but has definitely opened up some it seems. It's freakin adorable!
I love how they can stand on a balcony and perform acoustic, having not even been together that long at the time this was filmed, and still sound absolutely amazing. Love them so much.
Hey there guys, don't hate on this if you do not understand that this is the only way we can get people to hear us, but it would be lovely if you could click on our channel and listen to a song or two, thanks. If you like what we do, tell your friends, because then we don't have to "spam" great songs like this <3
Hi there, it would be really amazing if we could distract you for a few seconds to check out our channel, we are a new band from london, currently trying to find our sound, if you could listen to a song or two that'd be lovely. I'm sorry that we have to advertise this way, but unfortunately people can't just magically stumble across our channel :/
What an awful host.. who calls their guests shy?! Isn't that just going to make them more self-conscious? But honestly after watching some interviews with Marcus lately I've noticed him a little too talkative/tad cocky... I like him like this :)
Jesus, I find it amazing how much more confident Marcus is these days. Funny thing, he didn't need the fans to become that way, could have all along, he's fucking awesome
