[ItchyBirdDmb]

dmb are the best ever!!!

[MegaButterfly789]

@ItchyBirdDmb yep yep

[bluz4greeny]

Dave Matthews ROCKS !!! Thank you

[InfamousGod4]

@36mrsean yeah your right

[Nathan061987]

This song reminds me of "Bitch" from the rolling stones. Anyone agree?

[InfamousGod4]

whenever i see the drummer i always see him laughing and smiling

[jordan7278]

This makes me want to pursue a career in music. This is probably one of my favorite music genres. Swaying towards rock, but retaining the jazz aspect with some sax and trumpet/trumbone. I would love doing this.

[TheBluesyOne]

@jordan7278 Lol the genre is called "Dave"

[martinrgm]

This band rocks, this album rocks, this song rocks, and now Leroi RIP rocks in heaven but DMB will keep rocking the earth for many years I hope

[dianamichellecoleman]

His voice, the words, and the music are all perfect...a musical masterpiece, pure genius and uniqueness from this band!!!!!!!! Not like any other song I've ever heard before. Can you tell I like this song?!!! It's so sexy, funky, positive and uplifting!!!!!

[dianamichellecoleman]

This song is amazing...heard it for the first time when I saw him in concert last Tuesday in Toronto (the crowd went wild, especially all the men!!) and now I'm addicted to it!!!! Can't stop listening to it, and I was never even a big fan of his before!!!

[thekingchris1]

awesome!!! 

[marutino2002]

CAMEO - Word Up ...

[612franklin]

Jesus' Monkey'll Rattle 'n' Shake

[Milencheto89]

I'm totally addicted to this song!

[elohimjj]

Amazing song

R.I.P leroi

[mrpecu]

TQCkyle..... Have you heard carefully the horns arrangement?! Come on bro

This is def a new twist. But a great one

[JulietMcpherson100]

Speechless!!  Piece of cake, had found the entire album for free download at DownloadMusic[DOTT]im, take away the slashes and you are to good to go..

[FOXfulll3000]

we love ya leroi!!!

now go rock out heven!!!!

[haruch]

MonkeyGrip

[TQCKyle]

This is shit. Way to fall off big time DMB. I'll stick to listening to Crash and Before These Crowded Streets.

[delychees]

This is amazing, thanks for inspiring, big whiskey... ;)

[toadshole]

lick ya from your back to ya belly.....to funny

[JakeCadieux123]

I don't know why people are comparing DMB to PJ in the first place, I'm not really sure what there is to compare. I'm more biased towards pearl jam just because they're my favorite band and in MY opinion I feel like the lyrics are better, but nothing against DMB, big whiskey is a GREAT album,

[fightingfoos]

Yeah that's precisely how I feel.

[eugenerivera87]

carters awesome on drums

[comeonanythingrandom]

damn this song is fucking awesome, FUNKY as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[garnshazey]

They both rock-let it go, chil'ren ;)

[crawfordal01]

Pearl Jam is okay, But i like DMB's lyrics and the songs alot more then Pearl Jam's

[TheCharles1515]

fuck you fighting foos, dave matthews band has a wider fan base and more loyal fans then the frootie tootie Pearl Jam quiers

[fightingfoos]

Nah Im pretty sure Pearl Jam has more fans because they have existed longer than DMB. and Im not going to reply to the "quiers" thing because 1: Its not spelled correctly. 2: Thats VERY immature. 3: That can't be proven. 4: Thats not at all musically relevant.

And 1 thing that pisses me off: Does it really make sense to insult someone because they have different musical tastes? I have a deep respect and admiration for all types of music. Learn to appreciate music in general, not just bands.

[nodahanshin44]

A lot of bands have "existed longer than DMB", but that does not mean they have more fans.

Logic FAIL.

[fightingfoos]

Well... does Fall Out Boy have more fans than The Beatles?

[nodahanshin44]

Um...You are comparing Fall Out Boy to the most influential rock band of all time?

A better comparison is that F.O.B. has more fans than the FYC -- the Fine Young Cannibals, despite the fact they came out 2 decades ago.

[mistadobalina29]

what a horrible comment, think before you speak. dont talk down about pearl jam man, are you crazy?

[GeneralCadoc]

With this song, I here by annouce the Dave Matthews Band, purley and truthfully, one of the most epic bands of all time.

[magikmw]

I must agree, it's just perfect.

[omanuder]

I totally agree.

[uniktbn]

Who's song is this? Can't for the life of me remember where that main them is take from. Is it Mothers Finest or Spin Doctor?

[smcs1234]

best song

[secret3333333333]

Awesome song, Album and BAND!!!!!!!!!

[linktriforce4200]

I like my coffee with toast and jelly but i rather be licking from your back to your belly.

[Neil263]

Is the line "I ain't waiting for the world to chage, let me change the world for you," a John Mayer reference?

[dancexpeacexlove]

best current band in the world?

[fightingfoos]

Nope, that's Pearl Jam. DMB can be second. I'll allow that.

[dancexpeacexlove]

nahh i dont thinkk sooo DMB deffinatly has the best musicanss in the WORLDDDDDDD pearl jam can be like 4thh

[shwty801]

negative chief. pearl jam is a mediocre band at best

[fightingfoos]

They have been around longer and have had more success overall than DMB has. Pearl Jam is pretty much widely accepted as one of the top 10 bands of the 90's. Also their album Ten is one of the top 10 best albums of the 90's. And that's not to take away from DMB, who I fucking love. But as a band I have more respect for Pearl Jam, I mean they're going on 20 years and they haven't slowed down.

[shwty801]

Pearl Jam's music may be more widely accepted and listened to, but that is because they have conformed to mainstream music.

[fightingfoos]

I listen to a lot of bands and a lot of music and nothing remotely like Pearl Jam. If other bands are similar to them it's because they were influenced by them. I don't think they've conformed to anything, their music changes slightly from album to album, I can say the same about DMB. Both very versatile bands, I think. Look if you don't like Pearl Jam that's fine, I was just sayin my opinion.

[shwty801]

I'm cool with that bro. I just feel differently

[tennisIS4pussys]

length of being together doesn't make a band great, and neither does the size of it's fan base. It doesn't even involve opinions, DMB is much more talented and much more diverse in every way possible. PJ has a larger fan base yet DMB is one of only two bands to have FIVE albums debut at #1. PJ had one that barley made the top.

[fightingfoos]

That has to do with anticipation of an album, not the album itself. That's why they tend to debut at #1, but not stay there for long. But it's an opinion thing, I will just always love and respect Pearl Jam more. Cause in my opinion their music is better, and that's it.

[tennisIS4pussys]

there is anticipation for any album for any band. Did I mention that they purposely leaked the full album and they even allowed you to "rip" it from their site. Their intention is not to sell their music, they encourage ppl to torrent and share their music. Yet they STILL managed to have 5 albums debut at #1. I respect your opinion, but compare DMB's riffs with PJ's riffs and the difference in drumming patterns, DMB is much better. But foo fighters is great BTW

[fightingfoos]

I'm not talking about how any specific instrument is played, it's more about how all the instruments come together. Anyway, I'm done with this conversation. It's cool if you think DMB is better, even if they are I still prefer Pearl Jam's music overall. Whut do you hope to convince me of, anyway? I'm not going to change my views and neither are you...

I love Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band.

:D

[mrsbrandonboyd113]

fucking amazing. big wiskey is GREAT

[incarizz]

:D  .

[jarbo26]

Since when do they incorporate the electric guitar like this. One of my greatest wishes being fullfilled it's like he made this album for me.

[DMBfreak40]

it's timmy, man!!

[jarbo26]

when did tim reynolds get put into the band?

[DMBfreak40]

seriously? i can't tell if you're just kidding or not? timmy has actually played on every single studio release. he just doesn't go all "timmy-wild" on them because he doesn't always tour with dmb. but he did this year and he did last year, and maybe with the loss of LeRoi having tim with the band helps. whatever the reason, i'm thankful!!

[dtewis]

If you feeeel the way i feel than i believvvee we have the answerr!! :)))

This is like a culmination of everything dmb is, but more. its awesome

[eviljester17]

man ive gotten into them ever since i heard ants marching

[tsopuaifa]

I discovered DMB in -95 and I´ve gotta say they are still as great as back then. Amazing! A pity though that they never seem to come to Scandinavia and do a gig, I guess that they don´t have enough fans over here. Sad.

[LSUHeyBaby03]

One of my favorite songs on this CD. Love the Clips from NOLA & Piety St. on the DVD.

RIP Leroi! A part of his spirit and soulful jazz are forever in Nawlins!

[thasnargoblin]

haha that bald guy is their new sax. he plays for bela fleck and the flecktones. the bassist for bela fleck is victor wooten. victor wooten and carter beauford are jammin buds. they got connections obviously.

[pickmeuptaylor]

he might jam too hard sometimes i feel. but yea he's nasty. but i especially love when victor shows up on stage at dave concerts

[SuperUltraGanten80]

If they released this as a single, it would hit the top of the charts almost immediately. One of the greatest songs in years, of any genre period.

[jnhas05]

I would be scared for the monkey

[cincom83]

I went his concert a couple days i have gone to about 10 dave concerts and this one was the best!!!!

[PuffinPurp]

best song on the album, thanks for posting.

[headstock48]

@PuffinPurp It IS the best song on the album. Killer.

[benniothek]

havent heared such an energized song in years! besides, best studio release from DMB since '98

[BBmacavity]

Thank for posting this song..I adore it !!!!!!

[jus1moff]

How exactly did they "rip Cameo off"? The intro sounds vaguely similar but that's it. This song is far more complex than "Word Up".

[IGetRonPaulsMessage]

Songs 2 & 3 on the new album are great then after that they kind of go downhill but the cd was worth it for those 2 songs. This song for me is easily an instant classic. DMB are awesome and yes absolutely by far the best band for the last decade + 5 years. They have released great song after great song for 15 years.

[pciochetto]

chek concert footage for "squirm" Awesome! Also instant classsic. Powerful.........reminds me of H-ween

[insanevideos28]

ya squirm is really good but so is dive in , seven, lying in the hands of god, and why i am... not only songs 2 and 3

[tjodalv2k]

pure awesomeness

[ke70hibino]

I love this song. Haven't had a chance to listen to the rest of the album yet. Just skipped through. Is it just me or does it kind of lose momentum after this song? Is there another song with this amount of energy on the cd?

[davefan0231]

That's why I am, Time Bomb

[ajdavidson17]

Squirm

[1Man2rmy]

I agree

[Emmyw0lf4life]

I love Dave and my freakin gawd I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a true master musician and artist. The best of this generation.

[jus1moff]

Love this song. These guys are the embodiment of the musical definition "tight".

[theoseopath]

or they're just guys that rip off Word Up by Cameo....

[milkisforbabies02]

what song doesnt "rip off" another song? look up the video "pachelbel rant" and this is just one example. so MOST of the chord progression is similar. theyre still two totally different songs. and this song is brilliance.

[Margaritaville4]

new favorite DMB song, no doubt at all.

[jmneon]

sheer brilliance

[str4ngs6de]

shortpotato i could not agree more, nothing like merging on the highway blastin this song and just tearing up the freeway

[wrm10290]

new favorite dmb song

[dumbnameiknow]

their new record is incredible! the best since Crowded Streets!

[paulyboy911]

Ever heard The Lillywhite Sessions? A lot of people haven't since it was never released but that had some really good stuff on it too

[dumbnameiknow]

Hey thanks a lot! i actually have heard of it but its always been sort of a "legend" to me, haha. ill definitely look around for it and give it a listen!

[pinkfloydfan951753]

most of it became busted stuff

[cardsfan35]

Actually, most of the Lillywhite Sessions was re-recorded for Busted Stuff. 9 of the 12 Lillywhite songs can be found on the album. Of the 3 that did not make Busted Stuff, "JTR" can be found on the album Live at Folsom Field. "Sweet Up and Down" and "Monkey Man" are the only 2 songs from LS that have not made their way onto a released album yet.

[paulyboy911]

nice. i have both original recordings of those songs

[raider930]

Lily white was released in the form of busted stuff.. They quietly hired a new producer a few weeks before they released lily white and made "everyday" another masterpiece..

[paulyboy911]

the original recordings of the lilywhite sessions were not exactly the same...i have the original recordings from when they first leaked out and i also have busted stuff and there are differences....keeping in mind, not ALL of the lilywhite songs are on busted stuff.

[raider930]

true..like sweet up and down and monkey man were released on the lily white, only. but beyond that the majority were same songs. I might like talking about dave too much..

[tsopuaifa]

Busted Stuff is probably my favourite. Are the Lillywhite worth byuing? I haven´t seen that one here in sweden.

[a3dez03]

lillywhites are a circulating "mixtape" of sessions with Steve Lillywhite, you don't have to buy them. Just google the torrent. Its not available in any stores.

[alldave26]

Grace is Gone on the Lillywhite Sessions is incredible version and probably my fav DMB song.

[rexrox63]

captain on lillywhite is pretty sweet too :> there is a video of it on here i believe

[RyanBunctious]

Love these lyrics, rock on DMB!

[alomof024]

id have to put this in the same category as ants marching.very goood!

[Lilkingjr1]

ok, is it just me, or does the sax at some points in this sone sound like some song outa the movie Ghostbusters???.... Seriously, it sounds just like ONE song in dat movie is mixed into this song, lol maby im just crazy...

[drvertigo]

Is this the new App for the iPhone? "Shake the monkey"

[griponlife2]

Ahhhh! I can't stop listening to this song, I'm picking up the album tomorrow, LOVE YOU DMB! So glad to see a new album in memory of Leroi, he's playin right along with you! :-D

[chelsmona17]

I love this rock thing they have going on. . this song is so kick ass and is fricking awesome driving music.

[b7160]

I just popped the CD in on the way home from work today and CRANKED it to 11 for this one...

[shortpotato26]

This is awesome in the car...!!

[seetotaljim]

[ChadR0ck]

[RoseElectrikRainbow]

This is such a great song, it should be their next single. <333 :D

[freepale]

im likin the beat in the beginning!!!

[scottykinsley76]

I saw him at Darien Lake in NY 2 nights ago. This song rocked!!! Reminds me of "Word UP!" from the 80. Actually it's the same chord progression. Watch them do "Burning Down The House" GREAT cover. I'm officially old for saying that. =)

[FatNation]

burning down the house = amazing. I agree. <3333333

[alexshort14]

they didnt play this song at darien

[chrisp64]

Lerois wearin an all blacks shirt...legend.....

But for a lot more reasons than just wearin a shirt btw!!! Love this song though.

Seein them for the first time ever at Hyde park on the 28/06. Gutted I wont be able to see Leroi, but still know its gonna be the best day of my life.

Hopefully people who saw him will realise how lucky they were....

[MyHipHopTunes]

June 25th in London im gonna be there!

[AlwaysDanceThrough]

This song is brilliant! I see Dave in 21 days! Ahhh!

[23mclove23]

[themattstonemusic]

June 9th @ Molson Amp! so pump!

[cnb153]

[sheldini2002]

This band must have been send strait from heaven.

[TwoStepin4Life]

[ac3jc]

[lca369]

first parts the best

[jtc0404]

the songs alright but their old stuff was amazing. i hope some songs in the album are more like the bands earlyer songs

[TwoStepin4Life]

their is no chance of it being the same in my opinion... no leroi ya know... i think this is a new chapter, hopefully not the last... i love this song tho... dmb 4 life

[tamarockstar01]

this song grabs just you by the balls and says lets go for a ride

it's gonna be sick live

[ddonog115]

is it just me or does this sound similar to word up?

[gpcjr63]

the first couple seconds reminded me of word up after the first listen or two

[Lilkingjr1]

dude its NOT just you...

[itsadeepburn]

this song is sex

[ndirish1359]

god i cant love these guys more.

[chelsmona17]

Okayy this song has grown on me and now its fricking addicting. dave is so sexy talking about how he wants to lick it from your back to belly. (1:33) Long live DMB lyrics!

[arcturussage]

I know this is my favorite part of the song. It's just so catchy.

[defranic]

This song is fucking funky.. DMB Gets better and better. If you dont like it, then you dont like music.

[lovelyleslie41]

Great job with the photo collage!! I LOVE this song!!!!

[gsangiolillo]

This new album is going to be sick!!!!!! "Funny the way it is" is such a great song and so is this. Two great songs. Hopefully more to come

[Raevholl]

I love this band so much it HURTS

[raider930]

fuckin a right.. u almost just don't know what to say so u just smoke and listen

[chelsmona17]

Hmm . .I love DMB but this song is giving me mixed feelings. It just sounds kind of overdone compared to his old stuff. It has yet to truly grow on me . .

[mikasa52]

thats what they said about before these crowded streets back in the day too though.

[bdehlerj]

i can't stop listening to this!!!!! Love the horns in it!!!

[MusicIhave]

haha i love it at the very end when someone randomly shouts YEAH!!

[DMB4264]
