  • Lmbo omg

  • haha this cover is AWESOME!!! :D I think that it's my favourite version now!!

  • OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

  • lots of fun - hats off to ya!! good stuff! See you at the Muster!!

  • Why do they have to sing country music in american accents? John Williamson should have nothing to do with these blokes.

  • @CWPVN umm maybe cuz country is as american as it gets!

  • @MrLabelChannel American country music is fine, but I'm glad that we have Australian country music, and this is not it.

  • This was cute when the Cleverlys did it first, ya thieves. 

  • @carlcgranieri

    All respect to the cleverlys.. they're tops.

    Check the dates dude...

  • @thepigs33

    Is that the date of posting on Youtube or when it was coverded?

  • cheerleaders effect

  • this is probably the best/worst thing i've seen in a long time.

  • those boot scooter girls are HOT!!!!

  • Funny I have enjoyed thanks ^^...

  • What a great cover version. I've added this to my FB group dedicated to covers. It's called "The Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version" Feel free to join in.

  • haha how funny

  • Look, all those beautiful girls boot scootin' are smilin'. Bless!

  • Beyonce I'ma let you finish, but The Pigs with John Williamson on Jaw Harp had the best video OF ALL TIME!

  • This is wrong and hilarious on so many levels... haha

  • OMG!!! Why couldn't trhis be the original version? This song really got my attention. Sorry Beyonce, but you just been out did!!! Love this.

  • There is so much wrong with this!!!

  • the kid gabbering in the background is my drama teacher -.-

  • You guys Are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa­aa! Jesus Christ! xD

  • White woman... how can whe resist them?

  • hahahahaha o my good ahahahahaha

  • lol awesome

  • So. Legit.

  • THIS SHOULD GO VIRAL IN THE STATES. AUSSIES ARE BETTER AT EVERYTHING.

  • The singer dosen't play guitar in this video..he's just holding it.

  • Very, very clever. Love the Pigs

  • On par with The Cleverlys -- and that's HIGH praise! And yeah, the chicks are sick-hot.

  • LOVE IT!

  • im in this film clipp! :)

  • LOL I love it!

  • yes! i like it

  • Yeee Haaaaw! well worth a look and a laugh, check out 'HeyChristina" haven't laughed so hard in a very long time!

  • I love how they're all in bare feet xD

  • love the music would love to hear more .

  • I think if your part of the older generation the cleverlys would probably have more appeal, they are an excellent band, that said I have to agree with “themanhaslanded” as far the pigs having appeal to a broader audience (Young and Old) and they are a lot more entertaining, Overall The Pigs take the NO 1 Spot in my opinion.And to “Bulldogsandbanjos” when was the last time a video clip (except live) actually had all the instruments, 1 in the clip and 2 actually playing the sound in the clip? LOL

  • The Cleverlys did it better..but this was OK

  • dudes this is awesome- i lived on uni western sydney penrith campus and remember seeing u play at swamp bar. hilariously good.

  • you rock!!! make some more red neck parody's. i love it

  • "Its one of the best videos of all time, of all time" _ Kanye West

  • The Country Jive Bunny likes this song!

  • Spicks and Specks! :3 AWESOME!!!!

    

  • @Tripp1e Watching ABC2 tonight were you? That's how i got here.

  • @a1174394 that's exactly it, there was about 5 seconds after i watched it where I was silent... then hysterical laughter :3

  • Pigtails and cowboy hats...  good Lord my pants can't take it anymore...

  • @TheJohnnydrago Mine can *winks*

    ...wait

  • Finally a version that beats the original!

  • These guys aren't even in the same league as The Cleverlys. This sucks. If they even cared a little bit about their music they wouldn't be playing garage sale instruments. I doubt it's even them playing. I hear fiddle but I don't see one. I bet the live version would damage my ears. We all have become musically retarded by viewing this.

  • Firstly, while the “The Cleverly's” are great these guys are much better on so many levels, they appeal to a much broader audience, and to say the cleverly’s are funnier…..yes the are if your sense of humor is like the guy from Good Morning Vietnam “sir, in my heart I know I am funny”

  • This is great! Excellent job.

  • more more more!!!!

  • Sad rip off of a band called The Cleverly's from the States.... only they'r a lot funnier... oh and original. A bit sad really. They also play decent bluegrass... unlike this lot.

  • oh my god I'm laughing like a retard

    why does everything sound miles better when it's a bluegrass cover

  • Is it bad if I can understand their singing better than I could in the original? Even that fakey twang is better enunciated than the slurry singing she did.

  • I saw them at Bulli folk festival...hilarious! P.S good to see girls wearing pants

  • Comment removed

  • Saw these guys @ Illawarra Folk Festival 15 January. They are the funniest Country act I have seen. Well done guys!!!!

  • love it. nothing more romantic than a banjo

  • gotta love the wife beaters haha

  • Time to stop crying try Latino women rockmycity.info

  • ps where is the violin

  • omg what an amazingly awesome cover!!!!!

    this is very clever

  • Heard this on abc radio driving outta Merimbula, i wrote down PIGS with my TAB pencil on my NSW map and here I am.

  • You guys are awesome

    

  • One of those guys looks suspiciously like Rosso

  • why do whites ruin everything? >:(

  • @Asperuaca LOL

  • @Asperuaca its funny because you think the original was good

  • There is 13 dislikers that need their fkn heads read

  • God i love this song! i find myself singing this version when beyonce's is on. God you guys are awesome!

  • love this it's bloody awesome :D

  • good clip, very entertaining!

  • Best. Version. EVER!

  • Amazing

  • ohh dear .... hahahahahaha .... love it!!!

  • funnys best song ever.!!!!!!!!!!

  • At 2:08, he's got something in his pants there.

  • Better than the original, for sure!

  • Pigtails make me go weak in the knees. *falls to the floor*

  • mad song!

  • Ummm yeah, real "Australian", southern american accents, dancing girls in Texan / Tennessee outfits. What the fuck is this shit, fucks sake it pisses me off, fucking frauds

  • @tosgem You're jokin'... loser. And just what is 'real Australian' eh?

  • @4teacher4 yeah, you're right! It's difficult to define "Australian" in a few neat catch phrases, therefore we have no cultural identity of our own whatsoever! We should just copy everything the Americans do! (not that I dislike Americans) How dare anyone complain, they must be racist xenophobes!!

  • @tosgem you're right...but given that we're only a couple of hundred years old as a country, i don't think there's any big deal with not having a specific cultural identity, (or a description of it). It's pretty rare that we hear Aussie performers not use a bit of yankee twang. what has race got to do with it? although I agree, you seem to be a bit xenophobic. So what are you bitter about...I'm lost. (And The Pigs are shit hot...amazing talent...are you jealous or just don't like the accents?)

  • @4teacher4 you think there is nothing in our own Australia outlook and ethos that is worth even identifying? Are you saying that it doesn't exist, or simply that it's not valuable?I wonder what the Pigs collaborator here, John Williamson, would say about the? "Hey True Blue"? And yes, the American twang I hear in so many Aussie singers diction annoys me. I have always been taught to sing in my own accent, by my grandfather, mother and father.

  • @tosgem You've lost me a bit here. Please define the Aussie 'ethos'. No I don't think we're mature enough as a country to have a definitive 'sound'. Honestly, it's almost like these guys (the pigs) are non-australian because of their 'accent' when they sing, according to you...and your 'fucks'. Maybe Paul kelly's voice defines the aussie accent but Williamson, you've got to be joking, sounds like a foreign actor trying to sound australian. Listen to any aussie country sound...american twang.

  • @4teacher4 You think you're just running rings around me intellectually, don't you? "Please define the Aussie 'ethos'". I'm fully aware of the conservatives reaction to a percieved changing Australian "makeup", the lamentations for a "lost" Aus, ungainly "Aussie test" for immigrants under Johnnie, and the counter from the conventional left along the lines of "How DO you define what is Australian then? Who is to say?". You think you can just play that soundbyte and dismiss what I'm saying.

  • @tosgem Too smart for me...I can't understand ya.

  • @4teacher4 I can see you don't want to argue any more, not because I've "won" but because youtube arguments are stupid, but for the record - I'm embarassed even when someone from New York or Canada tries to pretend to be a southerner with no real connection to it in their lives. But maybe authenticity is a silly and old fashioned thing that I should let go.

  • @4teacher4 pt2 and to answer your question - I never said I could define the "Aussie ethos". In fact, in the sentence you picked on, I myself was only talking about the process of defining (identifying) it, as it IS a very intangible thing, but something some of us believe exists. It is the job of artists and poets to define it, not me in one youtube comment. But you just trot out your leggo piece of an argument and try to plug it into this discussion. That's smug.

  • @tosgem Grin & giggle

  • awsome!

  • Nice try, but I smell The Boss Hoss.

    Try searching for "The Boss Hoss" particularly their cover of 'Hey Ya'

  • Awesome Guy's, I saw this on Spicks and Specks, and loved it, I have had to show it to everyone I know, Good Shit !!!!!

  • I'd love to see you guys do Combine Harvester by the Werzels!

  • someone needed to do that. Great job fellas!!

  • fantaastic!

  • I used to watch The Pigs live in a local pub - I'd go there just to see them - they are the best fun.

    So glad to see them again.

  • I love it guys, every one enjoyed themselves so much doing this :-)

  • love it

  • @blueeyedgirl026, the beyonce version drags on more than this.

    BOGAN PRIDE HELL YES!!!

  • Brilliant!

  • Thank you Spicks and Specks for showing me this enlightening video.

  • Better than the original version. The girls are pretty good looking too. Are they all single?

  • Freakin awesome! speaks to the aussie bogan in us all... The Pigs FEAT John Williamson... fan-bloody-tastic

  • ha! funny at the start but then it kinda just draags on

  • Hilarious

  • It's a Jew Harp, not Jaw Harp

  • @dazzamuzza My mistake, didn't realise they were also called Jaw Harps.

  • @dazzamuzza and it is one of the oldest musical instruments around... recently saw one in a museum that was over a thousand years old. 

  • proud to be kiwi... not one of these blokes!!

  • and at least the chicks in this clip look hot and real

  • @cabby007 Actually, the girls doing that stupid line dance were the worst part of this video. They should've just concentrated on the comedy bit. The guys seem like they are naturally funny.

  • @entrynotfound2 are you homosex?

  • @cabby007 Are you fucking retarded. Suck adick.

  • @cabby007 racist much ?

  • @cabby007 agreed! the chicks couldn't just look hotter... gotta love those chicks in skirts and cowboy boots...

  • JOE DIRT!!

  • you guys are awesome im very proud to be a aussie

  • kill'm boys jous ahe awsume

  • Go JW you legend..............

  • I don't get it...the hillbilly schtick was run into the ground decades ago.  See The Ritz Brothers in the 1940's movie "Kentucky Moonshine." Besides, you have a clash of stereotypes going on. It would have been more appropriate to costume the girls as Daisy Duke types rather than as cowgirls.

  • fkn lol! XD

  • aussie pride

  • The bass player never plucked a note...

  • @n3ll3d nope, hes buzzy looking at the single ladies. cant blame him
