this is a mardi gras indian song. it's about spyboys, flags, and such. territorialism among the different tribes in new orleans. blacks who dress up as badass indians. a very old tradition. listen to the song indian red if you want more. also little liza jane.
i thought it said my grandma told your grandma im gonna set your house on fire! when i was little i used to skip down the street singing that song no wonder people thought i was weird
@newaccountdebzbd i don't think they're embarrassed, they just can't seem to remember what they did in the studio and don't wanna screw up the lip-syncing. still badass, but almost equally as awkward
This is epically badass and if I had a band I'd get this down so hard and fast. The D-Cups seem almost embarrassed by it. I'd romp this thing until the dancefloor was a mass a mass a mass of panting bodies.
At around 1:30, what is that dance called they are doing? The two or three kids criss-crossing their legs. The girl to the left and boy in the front are really kickin' it.
