[gohrski82]

Easily relatable song.......I think just about everybody has felt this way at one point. Good song, needless to say.

[koukouroukou7484]

This song reminds me of the way I betrayed a friend, and my behaviour in general. We always think we are good, but when we truly look at ourselves, we see that we have a lot of things to improve on.

[MyChuckp]

love it great song mmmhhmmm

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

One of the best songs of the nineties, fo sho. Never heard anything else by this guy, but this song is forever emblazoned on my heart.

[combo101]

@DMJC1988 yes it is as well as many other good ones

[rocker4u123]

you know what it says in the bible about not forgiving people

[comradeXD]

@rocker4u123 you know, its a...its against it XD

[rocker4u123]

@comradeXD lmfao yeah. kingpin is one of the best comedy's of all time. You can get no better than bill murray and woody Harelson.

[comradeXD]

@rocker4u123 true story true story =)

[acotton3901]

@rocker4u123 is that before or after the part about the zombie?

[Kistenwesen]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwesome

[poipuboy]

This is one of my songs for sure...

[mando3b]

@poipuboy The whole album is spectacular, if you can find it anywhere: "This Perfect World"; most of the songs from it are here and there on YouTube, and they all deserve to be listened to repeatedly . . .

[miskiabicha]

@mando3b buen dato!

[SupremeCommander360]

I saw this on the Atheist Experience. It's great!!!

[KiraWonrey]

@SupremeCommander360 I saw it there too XD

[DarkShadeGhostRider]

[jhonny1316]

@DarkShadeGhostRider Same :)

[TheFurryFanboy]

@DarkShadeGhostRider No. way. me too.

[gataloira69]

i actually like it better with death cab for cutie, but the song is still amaizing (:

[cauthoncrazy]

@gataloira69 Do you know where I can hear that version? I can't find it anywhere on youtube or in a google search.

[staplesna]

Awesome.

[domirules28]

hearing this song is so soothing, esp considering i've recently moved back to the small town i was born in, as i now ride my bike down ribbons of pavement cut through the middle of corn fields and grape vineyards, passing tractor crossing, 4H club signs, and transformer lines...it's a song that reminds me the country life i picked up after nearly a decade and a half...

[yardwork2008]

one of the great all time pop songs imho; it always takes me away from reality, even if only for a second;

the song is sad and happy, light and heavy all at the same time; beautiful;

[bobvillain]

your face is everywhere been turning round do you want me now??

lyrically this is my favorite song of the 20th century

[Harvest8888]

lol was watching king pin and I had to find this and showdown.

[MrHablopablo]

This song just takes me there.

Thanks for posting.

[10in62]

You can hear this song over and over and over again and never come close to being tired of it.

[Artaures]

@10in62 I can't agree anymore!

[BobbyDrake00]

KINGPIN!

[J8neSez]

oh i love this song

[linnea449]

One of my all time favorite songs. Makes me sad it's so beautiful. I saw this video on VH1. Anyone else remember when VH1 played this kind of music, lol

[linnea449]

Btw, Thanks for the lyrics!

[deadthelma]

@linnea449 ahhhh those were the days.....

[letsgo1lasers]

Put this on my facebook.

[LuciusVorenus13th]

ya... but they took it off youtube.

[BAUTZENERBABY]

best song of the 90´s without any doubt!

[catlogic11]

thank you for posting this, the way you posted it.

:D

[xloveisamyth]

somebody please tell me the chords :(

[catlogic11]

i'm just guessing, but i think it's in g. at least i play it in g.

I know i got a bad reputation-- e minor

and it isnt just talk talk talk-- g

if i could only give you everything-- a minor, c major

you know i haven't got-- e minor, the change is in d (and c)

suddenly i'm on the street--g, c, d

been breakin' down-- e minor

do you want me now-- a minor

do you want me now-- g

it's a start, hope it helps!

[rjfoster2]

just thought i'd say its d7 on the second "do you want me now" not G

[paddlesheep]

And yet Butch Vig, who produced Nirvana, produced this. Great song.

[paytonrianda]

I like anthony greens cover of this song more than the actual version. weird.

[N8iveNik]

This song is a lost gem. I think if it came out now it would have been more popular. Back when this song came out grunge had taken over.

[fbfiveohv3]

love the song. pleasant yet sad. unique. and i always get caught up when he says "seven years disappear below my feet." i always thought it shoulda been "beneath."

[chelseafcboy]

The Arizona sky, climbing mountains with Nate.

[lauraken]

I have ALWAYS LOOOVED this song! :)

[chicago6584]

They kept removing this song and I was bummed out! Thanks for reposting colored12beads you rock!!!

[downthefaith]

Always reminds me of the movie kingpin. Such a good tune.

[G1gglesqueak]

Such a beastly song.

[spirossampson]

it starts when the cleaner hands the rubber hand back to him after he has lost and everyone has left!

[stigludwigsen]

Great song! Discovered this in kingpin as many others i guess. The Farelly brothers has good taste in music for sure.

[mkyncy]

The movie Kingpin featured both the songs "Bad Reputation" and "This Perfect World."

On the DVD commentary I own, one of the two brothers who directed it, states that he chose the songs because his wife had been listening to Freedy Johnston's album alot at the time.

[Kerri570]

I made a mixed tape for a friend of mine in the 90's & this was on it. It so makes me think of him-I miss him so much!

[mathgeek37]

Can't say I remember this before now...too bad I missed out then.

Great song.

[ivegotcandy128]

This song never gets old.

[cronosbray]

True That!

[MarissenFisen]

Greatest song of all time... So sad....

[Hounsfield]

when did this song come out?

[TheCardCheat]

1994

[ariawesome]

AND IT'S JOHNSTON WITH A 'T', IDIOT

[SPAWARSYSCOM]

See the movie 'Kingpin' from 1996, funny with great soundtrack.

[Benioff1]

Am I the only one who's seen the 1995 film Kicking and Screaming from The Squid & the Whale writer/director Noah Baumbach?

That's where I heard this great song; at the end of a really romantic scene. It was also featured near the end of the film's trailer.

[z4exms]

@Benioff1 no you aren't! Kicking and Screaming is one of my favourite films...this song also features in another underrated movie, Grosse Pointe Blank...in the end credits, I think..

[z4exms]

@Benioff1 No you aren't! this is one of my favourite films..."I haven't been to prgaue, been to prague"! this song features in another underrated movie, Grosse Pointe Blank, in the end credite I think....

[danzilla777]

is this song played in kingpin towards the end? like right before the credits? because i've always wondered what song that was..... and i think i found it when i found this one.

[camilla1984]

Don't know if it's also played towards the end, but it's played in the middle of the film.

[ObamaJihad]

Yeah, thats why I looked it up, I think it could even be in the begining. It is definitely in the movie

[apersuitte]

it is...

[joshfrady]

i know this comment is like 6 months old. but the song at the end of kingpin before the credits is called "but anyway" by blues traveler

[KellyGreen5555]

Great track.

[joeblow1983blowjoe]

If I live to be a thousand...(which I won't, thankfully)...I still won't understand how this song didn't make it to the top ten.

[elderlyjr]

It brings back sad memories for me personally, but a great song none the less!!!!!!

[garagedancer]

omg you just want to fucking kill yourself when you here this song, one of the most depressing sounds ever... anyway i love you woody!! ha...

[cheekiekeen]

I remember this song! cool...

[tashahb79]

Ive loved this song since it came out. Ive listened to it three times already!

[Tank611]
