Dramarama - Work For Food

[PEYOTEMX01]

Dinosaur Jr. .....Lame? Ya gotta be fuckin' kidding...

[FUNESCEREN2009]

@PEYOTEMX01 To know Dinasaur Jr. is to know rock music.

[32Rainking]

@84heroes1In closing,the music you list contains2 of my favorite bands&more I enjoy&recognize as talented musicians&have some emotional depth 2songwriting-though some bands Rcool enuff2B enjoyed w/o deep lyrics,eg,the Pixies,but theyR very rare.I think you're pretty cool&have a decent taste 4music.Some of the morons I argue w/man you wouldn't believe.I've just been through too much&there's so much great music-I need the emotional depth&variety.No more2bsaid-I like mostof what Udo-I just needmore

[32Rainking]

@84heroes1 Well you got some pretty lame bands in there-Dinosaur Jr., Smashing Pumpkins, and Oasis-one of the worst bands in History-I like some depth to my music, Like Dramarama, Radiohead, REM, they all are in the same league as the Jayhawks songwriting prwess, but w/ the exception of Radiohead are still far behind it, though they rock more-the Jayhawks rock in their own way-It's your loss for being kinda pigonhold into a certain genre-you're missing so muych good music

[SuperAdjudant]

great

[rubensite]

GOOD SONG

[mrk70]

Love the line about Uncle FLoyd....what a great song

[chaebreannak]

They were so ahead of their time. Anything, anything is timeless, I will definitely say that as well.

[lizardgoddesss1]

this song rules

[djdarkmonkey]

honestly this just sounds like a dinosaur jr song

[bdjackass318]

@djdarkmonkey dude dramarama has been around longer post something when you have something intelligent to say

[theuncletodd]

'..sang a song on Uncle Floyd...' now that's old school

great goofy late-night show on WOR NY back in the day

even BOWIE paid homage to Floyd in the song 'Slip Away'

[Neilsneverbeenthere]

Noone wants to pay me for my broken heart.! Great band that never got their due.

[theuncletodd]

Wow---I can't believe I've never saw this before! I always had in my mind what the video should be, and this wasn't it. It had snippets but ....

very underrated band

the acoustic hidden track of this, on...go find it yourself--I had to....is stunning

[nublar2]

@theuncletodd john easdale's acoustic version on his site is pretty great too. i don't know if it's still up or not, but he had a few shows up on there.

[gangstersj]

fuckin awsome

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

The always great Clem Burke on the drums!

[xtynct]

One of the best songs ever!!!!

[MrCocklips]

I have found that most hot gay homeless men will work a set of cock n' balls for small amounts of food. Enjoy the tip :O (=====3

[princesskellysue]

no one really understands ... a poster n some magazines and some magic beans and a blanket that I got when I was born.. I deny a problem with my attiude. No one wants to pay me 4 this broken heart, so now I got this shopping cart n I keep on rollin on, n on ,n on ........Yeah gratitude 2 work 4 food. PPl nowadays need 2 realize how good they really have it, especally if mom n dad still love you

[wsperger]

Great video and stupendous song from the coolest band in the land.

Easdale was an unbelievable vocalist and lyricist and he was backed by a crackerjack band.

This is just one of a boatload of killer tunes in their arsenal.

I highly suggest you stumble from your stupors and pick up the albums "Vinyl" and "Hi-Fi Sci-Fi."

Typical Americans with their heads up their collective asses wouldn't give 'em their due.

[jffournier]

@wsperger "Seven minutes (more or less)" is only on their best of, that I know of, but it might be their best. These guys are fantastic. Best band mostpeople have never heard of.

[musicforchewfaygs]

heh, john has TNS.

[ewgtsi]

Dramarama just booked to play at the Irvine Lake Mud Run April 10, 2010. Google it and come see them LIVE!

[PopCulture20]

OMG this is sooooo early 90s!!!!!! I wanna go back and be a kid again!!!!!!!!

[EdwardPlatt]

This and The Stranglers' "(Get a) Grip (On Yourself)" are the best songs about trying to male it in music.. And what's popular now? Young Money and that cunt Lady GaGa. Blast you damn kids!

[SBDluvJB]

haha that guy at :10 is my dad!! with the checkered vest thingy!!! he said it took like 24 hours to make this. and at one of the breaks he sat next to the drummer and they talked the whole time :D

[tarasvoice]

WOW this is SOOO old I remember this.

[NecroNickGR]

I hate the singer...! :D

[Brendz79]

Form many years, if I had to choose a favorite songs, this was it. Most people, of course, had never heard of it. Dramarama was and is still incredible!

[Graffix396]

love this song. Gotta a few others but this is one of my faves from them.

[HappyFuriousMonkey]

My very fav. I seriously just can't seriously understand why they never had more success... I'm gonna buy 18 Big Ones righgt now.

[HappyFuriousMonkey]

Maybe not. After listening to some more Dramarama I found out I like all their songs, actually. Great band.

[ColorsBright]

SERIOUSLY, GO SERIOUSLY BUY IT.. hehe just kidding ;)

[HappyFuriousMonkey]

Hey seriously, I've seriously already got it. I'll still seriously have to seriously buy some more Dramarama very seriously.

[richie649]

john is a brilliant songwriter!

[NJDev35]

IMHO- The BEST song dramarama did- still cant believe it didnt have better commercial success!Another Gem from '93

[universetechnique]

Please view all my favorite and video and see how much I know. Imagine. Thank me later.

[msouth93]

The acoustic version takes on a whole new life of its own. Awesome, if you can find it.

[mountainjustice]

The acoustic version is on the 18 Big Ones compliation CD. I agree its tops. Thanks for posting this, some *** stole my CD and great to hear again

[msouth93]

Got it. Thanks MJ.

[SumGuy87]

They dress like grunge, but their music is so up lifting!! Awesome, wished they came back. . . .

[MirrorsAndMonoxide]

I'm so glad you uploaded this. It's my favorite Dramarama song. Thanks. =]

[robpaints]

thpunk you are the koolest for posting this video.

it is one of my all time favorites and I'm almost 40 now and I remember the good all days when i could stay up all night and party like there is no tomorrow , but Now tomorrow has become a fuking job. lol "

((("Dramarama kicks ass")))

[Cthuhlu12]

Nice to see the boys getting some props. Thanks for the post. Searched for this song for three years. These were pre-Internet years, so it was tough. Bought the album used and it was once of the best CD's I ever had.

[AvsGirl66]

I will, next time I go to one of their East Side concerts.

[xtynct]

I agree. There are some songs you just love the first time you here them. I saw this vid on 120 minutes back in the day. I wrote down on a piece of paper"Dramarama Hi Fi Sci Fi" and when I bought this album I couldn't remember why I wrote that note until I heard this song and thought " oh yeah that's why"

[Funksoul65]

I HAVE LOVED THIS SONG SINCE 1ST TIME I HEARD IT!!!!! Wish a clear recording of "Haven't got a clue" was on YouTube... Load it up somebody, PLEASE!!!!!!!

[robpaints]

have you heard their Earth Day song.

i think it was called What r you/we gonna do or something like that; maybe, you  remember?

[TomFromJersey]

What Are We Gonna Do? (April 21) from the album "Vinyl."

I agree -- SO good!
