[foxlette420]

I love this son

[jakeford1982]

[quikspyda]

A Song if a Man is going Third Base with Lady

[skaterskater12]

Hell yes

[superhuman295]

is this song about masturbating?

[B0GIE1]

@superhuman295 um.....what?! lol

[superhuman295]

@B0GIE1 thats wat i heard lol. i never knew for sure

[B0GIE1]

@superhuman295 oh....to be honest i think its about running and never stopping or somthin like that....

[superhuman295]

@B0GIE1 well thats good lol. idk who thought it was about masturbation but it just started making me wonder

[jakeford1982]

@B0GIE1 i think this song is about a motercycle because it says fule burning fst on an empty tank but you could be right to

[DobsBomber]

@superhuman295 Wow... I think its about a man who is so caught up in proving himself to his wife, the world, himself, that he forgets about being there emotionally for her. But, I can actually see where you're coming from. Maybe.

[superhuman295]

@DobsBomber now this is what i heard, idk for sure

[drifter2597]

@superhuman295 Perhaps. It's all about perception.

[xXShayminkawaiiXx]

again 0:00



[OMGepicME]

I think of chuck everytime i hear cake...

[MrChucky01]

i give it a two thumbs up!!!

[VUPURREDOX09]

[HisBlondie90]

[BillyTalentRocks2010]

@HisBlondie90 Maybe you should......bake a cake :D Ba-dum tss

[Pezreh]

@wantedman1000 I used to make skyrim jokes then I took a vagina to the penis.

[wantedman1000]

@Pezreh well played

[AshesOfGlass]

@wantedman1000 EVER SONG!!!!EVER FRIGGIN SONG! ive listened to 12 songs and EVER song has had this kind of comment! dont get me wrong i love skyrim and this is funny.....the first 90 times... -______-U

[wantedman1000]

@AshesOfGlass You used to love these jokes, but then you got a sense of humor

[AshesOfGlass]

@wantedman1000 i used to like these jokes, but then my brother played skyrim Y.Y

[JuscLTU]

@sealface23 you know what I hate? It's when people, after using youtube for years, don't know there's a button to show all comments and you can quick find the person.

On topic: good song :)

[Cannonsmack]

@Redanmoonkin A really a sick joke is that this is ALWAYS played on the radio.....

[RiceKiller191]

This will seem odd... I don't listen to Cake very much but my friend brother used to listen to Cake a lot. There was a song I liked and the only thing I remember from the song was something about running or walking out of a patio/back or front door or a house. Anyone know song I'm talking about or was I just slipped meth as a kid?

[xxxShadowWolvesxxx]

i know the guitarist of this band! I love this song

[Johndoe2point0]

they did try a little hard on this first hit.they went for a bit of a too cool for school sound.But I don't care.

[soap5565]

omg freakin best song EVER

[leopardspots2004]

I can relate SO well with this song right now its almost haunting. I'm on the doubts-and-remorse phase of the racetrack, but this song is enough to convince me to keep moving. We all believe in signs, don't we?

[HuntingFishing1]

thats how i feel a bout her, the one

[VinnyR15]

tbh i only like the first part of the song

[treeZon1]

drugs and cake aaaah yaaaaaaa!

[yerk3]

@treeZon1 Aaaaalllll right.......oooooohhh no!

[ahotguysomewhere]

i always thought the song was about him losing his woman from doing speed and heroin, or "speedballs".

[krazyllah]

Dunno... music is usually ambiguous and thats what makes it awesome, it can mean something to me and something totally different to you. Y'know, unless it's straightforward like rap for instance :D

[seanman70]

hey im black and rap and this is actually my warm up song for football and bball. this is one of my favorite songs.

[Jizzinyamouth1]

Best song to work out to !

[MissDandyDane]

I think it reminds me of a guy, or masculine, member in a relationship whom's drive seems to usually is to provide the 'goods' (money, food, home, etc). And He is trying to provide her with it all and working hard for it, but he is putting more into that, rather than supporting her emotionally, which is leaving her alone to cope. He thinks he's doing his best and has the bes tof intentions, and all the love, but is not noticing her emotional needs.

[CIODOD]

Yuppie jet fuel... ya!!!!



[mobafugly2]

What guy has so many duis that he has to ride a horse?

[claycar511]

the song is about sex hes having sex with her but she aint likeing it hes trying to get to the finnish line but he cant get there but she all ready did now she just wants him to stop but he refuses to quit thats the song they made it like this to make it more like hes racing

[Galidorquest]

@claycar511 LOL XD

[BlueOctober13th]

I would always imagine a guy driving like crazy to get to a girl's house... and the girl is all alone and in a time of "need" ;o

[xxxShadowWolvesxxx]

I know someone in this band!

[MrDlewis17]

definitely a Zamboni driver

[sealface23]

dont you hate it when you see the reply to a controversial comment several pages before the original, and you have to hunt it down page by page. I almost never find it after all of that even. *sigh*

[Somabokusiien]

@sealface23 dude I hate that shit man.... and I hope someone has to hunt for this one.... lol

[idioticscheme666]

@sealface23 You can just go to view all comments and press ctrl + F ..then a box will show up, you write down the name of the username that the people are talking about.. Then you press enter then voila! There you go! His comment! xD

[Galidorquest]

@sealface23 When you look at Comments have you tried clicking SEE ALL? That way, you'll be able to SCROLL and see every single comment posted. Good lucky bro. 8-)

[5thBearCav]

@sealface23 Click 'View All Comments', hit CTRL+F, and type the name of the commenter.

[Madooblerxsauce]

@sealface23 click on see all comments. hit control+f. type the name of the person who made a controversial comment. scrool with ease. but im sure lots of people have allready explained that.

[theicedpotato]

@sealface23 No, because I'm not a fucking idiot who doesn't know how to Ctrl + F

[Totalcat7]

@theicedpotato Calm yo chiz bro. When I do that, it comes up as the people replying, and I never find the original.

[maldaathi]

@sealface23 Bro..just hit "see all" above the comment box, then hit ctrl+f and search the users name haha

[Idhron117]

@vaultboy4561 Curses on your children for lying so horribly.

[tangledweb79]

TRUMPET SOLO! Say what?

[HDskateboarding]

this band is all about irony no deeper meaning i think it is about a zamboni driver

[explosionthe19th]

I never thought I could like such a monotonous singer o_o

[rokkarokkaali]

i wish Grand theft auto played this whenever your chased by cops

[Steeleydannerific]

From jimmer's comment, I imagine some guy working after hours on his zamboni who's stuck in the past. On one race. There he hit someone. A poor woman who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He relives the day everyday and "plotting the course" in a way how he could of missed that woman. As the delusional man tides his zamboni, the woman is in critical condition in a hospital room. She's all alone in a time of need. *Fade to black*

[vaultboy4561]

The Cake is a lie.

[theguy7771]

Hmmm.....

[wingrove023]

this song is freaking awesome !!!!:)

[Redanmoonkin]

Warning! Do NOT listen to this while driving. You WILL get a speeding ticket.

[lVlrCrazyOne]

@Redanmoonkin the song isn't about speeding, it's about going the distance. =D

[StraightEdgeDP]

@lVlrCrazyOne But "he's going for speed.."

[adelsaint]

@Redanmoonkin

Dude, same with Red Barchetta.

[DeadRaymanWalking]

@Redanmoonkin Ha ha!

[insanebullet]

crunk whistle ftw



[andrewgiovanni]

If he's fighting and biting and riding on his horse, how is his fuel burning fast on an empty tank?

[insanebullet]

@andrewgiovanni i think hes racing in a car but its just being referred to as a horse as a synonym

[Philesawesome]

IF YOU AIN'T FIRST YOU'RE LAST!

[wetnmild]

i came here cause i was told there would be cake

[VonSicem]

@wetnmild It was a lie, except for CAKE

[VampireNya]

@VonSicem Portal jokes are old, and especially lame when referring to the band CAKE

[thedukelives24]

They should make a music video for this song.

[prvanram]

@thedukelives24 they did

[Dooke80]

I love the Westcoast/G-Funk whistle they used in the Chorus.

[dissident93]

@Dooke80 Best part of the song.

[hoticeinsmoke]

bad ass

[Philesawesome]

I think they should add a new lyric to this song, "If you ain't first, you're last".

[JBshotJL]

@Philesawesome It's actually about how even if your last you should keep on going (if you ever seen Jamaica's got a bobsled team)

[xXLIKEaBOSS]

its about racing shopping carts in walmart

[Poopsie31098]

Mario Kart Black :3

[7catstied2gether]

@kingofkatamari <--- this guy got the interpretation spot on

[Foe2Beat]

Awwww...poor track hand.....

[skunkape2]

This song is about achieving maximum penetration with a lady of your choice

[ElSuperbeasto713]

driving in my car during the 90's

[ZeeSuperbHawk]

dammit i always pay attention to the comments and not the songs

[KingOfKatamari]

I always thought this was what the song meant...

There are multiple men who are vying for the love of one woman. Eventually one of them wins her over and the rest of them move on... or at least, most of them do. There's still that one man who won't give up. He doesn't see that the two are together, or if he does, he doesn't care. That guy doesn't love her, I would actually be committed, whatever reason he can find, he is motivated to win his "prize". She will be his, no matter what.

[stokes721]

@KingOfKatamari Well said sir.

[dandruff355]

@KingOfKatamari woah trippy shit brah



[dandruff355]

woah that is some trippy shit brahh

[sixsixsik]

@KingOfKatamari always deeper meanings for songs than what people think at face value.

thanks for breaking down ur view!

[PUPPehz]

@KingOfKatamari No it's just music. Thats why I love Cake they dont have a meaning They just make songs

[TheUniquinick]

@KingOfKatamari Thats funny, my brother just told me the same thing like, 2 nights ago lol

[KB19001]

my friends ma got pulled over when she was dropping me off for speeding when the cop gave her the ticket and we drove away she took the cd out and said we can't listen to that song while i'm driving. We were listening to this...

[bendaddypurps]

@KB19001 wtf?

[benjf99]

this should be a NASCAR promotion theme,i mean it sounds really bad-ass for the idea

[KB19001]

@benjf99 NASCAR is stupid this song is awesome. NASCAR is for people who like watching Cheerio boxes going in circles non-stop, f1 is cool

[SparksDrinker]

free advice: if you're in the mood for a speeding ticket, listen to this song when you drive.

[KayJay91750]

@SparksDrinker Or riding your motorcycle. Almost got me killed one time.

[flimsyshow]

@SparksDrinker I found out (the hard way) that Blur - Song 2 is a bit more effective at that XD

[heinzie5]

foamy the squirrel sent me

[dvr123us]

I would use this song to get me home to "see" my girl. 5 hour drive from grad. school to her loving arms and legs... The best was the last 5 minutes to her door as this was playing... I would smack her arss and say "Heeyaaa" and carry her to the bed. She knew, LOL, and I did go the distance.

[ironhawk10000]

@dvr123us what about the huggging the turns part? :3

[KB19001]

@ironhawk10000 it is a driving term and a running term. You have to get close to the corners and "hug them" cause as you turn you move the way your not going while turning and go off the track

[ironhawk10000]

@KB19001 i know that but u interpreted yeehaa differently soo.. but i know if u stary far away from a turn ul take longer and lose time

[dvr123us]

@ironhawk10000 All I can say is we had a lot fun with this song and it gave me the "stuff" to get to her while driving in weather that burned a few years off of my life . The smack on the arss was the best part LOL. I earned it and she rewarded it.

[acdc192837465]

Mad CHILL!

[jimmer1517]

It's about a zamboni driver

[p90lover]

@jimmer1517 ROFL I can't get that image out of my head.

[Kittylpp]

@jimmer1517 roflmfao, best interpretation ever XD

[GraveDiggerIII]

@jimmer1517

he's going for speed lmao

[DumbVidsIMadeForAlex]

@jimmer1517 that makes no sense that would be at an ice skating rink and this is clearly about some sort of vehicle in an "arena"

[AntiSockMonkeyInc]

@jimmer1517 XD

[NameYouCantHate]

if it sounds like this in 240p I cant imagine 720 or 1080 lol

[zabuza6060]

12 people just need to like cake more than pie. (dont thumbs up)

[hoping4cash2]

@zabuza6060

You said dont thumbs up so i thumbed down for ya =)

[zabuza6060]

@hoping4cash2 lol. i just dont want peoople to be like "thumbs up whore!"

[xXWHO111Xx]

[bunny1072]

:'o♥

[rizalapellanes]

12 people like pie

[PastaForPookey]

I think this song is about Forrest Gump

[PastaForPookey]

I think this song is about Forrest Gump

[kikyouwuv]

I love how all the comments are about delivering pizzas. xD

[ike123ify]

my aunt was driving slow then this song came on she put on her sun glasses (it was night time:p?) rolled down the window and started driving faster!!!

[BenTheReaper100]

i wish the pizza man drove to this...then i might get it within an hour.....

[DrakBela]

@BenTheReaper100 but then it wouldnt be free

[ZendallFan]

Discovered this song on Sonic Radio

[chapshooter16]

I listen to this song when I deliver pizzas. Never have any late orders lol XD

[zriccibr]

@chapshooter16 You going the distance means that my Dominoes is never free............

[danielhoang12]

I need to edit a Nascar race with this song. Like some animated stuff and acting, shows the pistons burning and the engines working, flames burning and stuff. I also think during the day for a little, but then switches to night on the race track with a few lights still on. Something badass and worthy of the song.

[Dontmakemecomeover5]

I can't help but think of mad men when I hear this.

[roflwilwin]

On the right it says "youtube mix for cake" lol

[MIK3Yproductionz]

@roflwilwin tralalalalalalalalalalaalalala­lalallaalallaallaalalalalalala­laalalalalalalalalalalalalalal­lalalalalalalaaaaaa cake you go the distance!!!

[wbswatmaster]

fuck yeah i love this song LOL this is great

[thehessmachine]

I used to sing this in car when I was little

[tboyd799]

@RastaMastaKonTiki you're kidding right? lmao either way

[RastaMastaKonTiki]

@tboyd799 Um, no? Short Skirt/Long Jacket is probably more well known the The Distance...

[RastaMastaKonTiki]

@tboyd799 Um, no? Short Skirt/Long Jacket is probably more well known the The Distance...

[Swordmaster10]

@RastaMastaKonTiki No, No it's not. And believe me I would know.

[RastaMastaKonTiki]

@Swordmaster10 Ok. Love you. :-)

[TheRealScrote23]

Greatest Song Ever...can't help but have a lead foot while driving and listening to it.

[HDAlexDo]

"The Cup" is the Vagina. this is a song about men competing to reproduce.

[comicbookprodigy995]

@HDAlexDo "Except for one man, still driving, and striving as fast as he can" LMAO damn, I always thought of the lyrics meaning a race, but, you jacked it up.

[Cburgtiger]

i got a ticket listening to this.... :/ lol

[girpiggy553300]

IN A TIME NEED COME ON >:O!

[MyChemicalPrincessss]

He's going distance, he's for speed!!!! awww haaaa awwww haaaa...YAAA

[RcForTheBetter]

12 guys left with the cup

[8forrest]

12 people think the cake is a lie..

[mamaluigi511]

my guitar teacher was the bassist of cake

[Cburgtiger]

@mamaluigi511 awesome!!!

[TheNaveOfCharlemagne]

Lol! My school's jog-a-thon...I was singing (if you can call this song singing, it's more...talking with style =P) this when we lined up to start...the teachers weren't amused. =P

[MegaNoah360]

@TheNaveOfCharlemagne Did anybody else get it?

[TheNaveOfCharlemagne]

@MegaNoah360 Ha! My sister did, and I suspect if I had been singing louder somebody else might have...but it is a private school so you never know what rock some of these people have been under...

[MegaNoah360]

@TheNaveOfCharlemagne cool well at least one person did!

[thunderstruckproduct]

I like Cake has a good sound with bass like the way the combine the bass and the guitar its perfect

[HomeB123]

isn't this song about rape?

[ungoliantthearachnid]

@HomeB123 ummm, no.

It's more about someone with post traumatic stress disorder.

he can't really stop driving.

and it also says "she's all alone in a time of need" meaning that he just is ignoring her, not raping her.

[junkequation]

@ungoliantthearachnid then how would it be about rape, explain bro

[Selkies0bsession]

The cake is a lie.

[xDinosaursGoTylerx]

@Selkies0bsession yes. lololol youre my new friend for knowing that.

[Selkies0bsession]

@xDinosaursGoTylerx

:D

[ToastarmyCP]

love this song <3333 I LOVE YOU CAKE!

[TestaXDizzy]

He mentioned a horse, cars, and them crouching (implying they're running)... which means. What kind of race is this!?

[hanpolo21]

Love this song!
