Tragically Hip At The Hundredth Meridian

[sarahjaneM3]

it's like "we had a crane... may as well b'y"

[ElMattoGrande]

People make much about the lyrics, but the music is good too. Just a great melodic match, a very special band.

[trickrider123]

My favorite part is they play small venues and bars here in the USA. The less they know the better. Boston Bruins have a shot at the Cup. Mark Recchi can taste another one.

[SECONDbiggestFAN]

yup way out of sync......unless im drunk or stoned..........well not yet should check back when i am then it should be in sync

[4stringMafia]

Is the video supposed to be out of sync with the audio?

No Disrespect.

Go Canada!

[canucktheclown]

Actually, it is not.

[4stringMafia]

At :28 it is.

[4stringMafia]

:22 i mean

[canucktheclown]

Not it is not. If it is you can't even notice it.

[brinklows]

yeah it seams to catch up at :58

[eguitar190]

trippy video but just like any other hip video!!!love it!!!

[megntim]

They are an absolute gem. This song resonates on many levels . They have distilled Canadiana so perfectly. This song is one of their best

[canucktheclown]

He not relating one song to Canada. You misread what he or she said dumb fuck.

[webbsworld17]

hey 3wr33k i know for a fact that when gors is talking about remebering buffalo he is reminicing about an expirience he had touring in teh city hegolo is also a city in europe wut are u fucking american or sumthin

[Onlydreamin1959]

The 100th meridan, geographically speaking, occurs in North America, as well, I believe. He's also talking about wheat, geat plains, etc.. I find your response extremely disrepectful, considering your opinion is not even well-formed. I really hate this "American" bashing and I'm Canadian. And considering you're putting somebody down, you might want to reconsider using words like "gors," "teh," "wat," and "sumthin." You're only making youeself sound foolish.

[polite777]

Gords a prophet this is getting so creepy his words are starting to make sense if you keep studying them.

[lesterclaypool1]

My ancestors had horses, lots of them, but I get the point you're trying to make, and we were dumb enough to sell them to the white man.

[ifeeltiredsleepy]

Horses were imported to the new world by the Spanish. Although, horses prospered in North America and were quickly adopted by many natives in the midwest. They were not present before Europeans came.

[thegirl44]

Not necessarily,  What the Spaniards brought to South America, where there were no horses, was the domesticated horse. When the North American Indians saw the domesticated horses that the Spanish had brought they started domesticating the horses that were already in North America, more than likely to have come over the Bering Straight from Asia, where horses originated, with the first men.

[thegirl44]

Look up North American cave paintings, these all predate the arrival of the Spanish and they all show horses, as a food source. Prior to domesticating them the Natives looked at them as a source of food, herd animals, like buffalo, and not a dangerous hunting endeavor, like a bear.

[ifeeltiredsleepy]

*Sigh* the fossil record clearly shows horses went extinct in North America 10,000 years ago.

Horses used to live in North America, they crossed into asia about 20,000 years ago, then went extinct in NA but survived in Asia. Until they were reintroduced.

This is supported by genetic evidence as well.

[ifeeltiredsleepy]

The North American horse went extinct 10,000 years ago. A simple google search could tell you that.

[thegirl44]

Read the paper, Domestication of Food by Sam Traynor, you should be able to find it here online. It has definite creationist leanings but the scientific theory in it is extremely interesting.

[thegirl44]

The *sigh* as though you were dealing with a petulant child was completely unnecessary. Horses ORIGINATED in Asia, they didn't go there from here, they came here from there not to mention the scientific reports of horses going extinct in NA, dating from the late 60's, have been debunked on numerous occasions by diverse factions of the scientific community.

[ifeeltiredsleepy]

The earliest horse fossils are the Hyracotherium, which have been found in Wyoming and other parts of North America. None have ever been found outside North America, so please show how those theories have been debunked.

I'm afraid that the majority of the scientific community believes as I do.

[mudandtape]

Hey 3wr33k, do you want to sell some of whatever the fuck you are on?

[bobba765]

the green party is a bunch of moron's and pricks and dykes.

[taaitaai]

or maybe i am.

whatever.

[judy33333]

only freaks like you watch this classic

[ojiby29]

the Hip was ment for acid trips i think. hehe.

[MYNHLNETWORK]

wow

[perfectdemon1]

I dont get why they think Bob Dylan is so great, The hip is true rock, like the Beatles and Hendrix

[MYNHLNETWORK]

THIS IS WRONG

[ramler18]

i totally agree with spenner10... atabe man

[spenner10]

[waffendiablo]

This is absolutely the worst song ever made.

[bepositiveone]

Your gay.

[zigzag789789]

why youtube search it and watch it then?

faggot.

long live hip

[waffendiablo]

Well, okay...I actually do have a fondness for farm animals in harnesses.

[primroseburrows]

Nah. "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro is the worst song ever made. No, really, it's awful.

[abbeyfox]

It would seem to me i remember every single f***ing thing i know.

[Twinslover23]

thats wrong they are loved in the north eastern part of the US especially buffalo..long live the HIP....Ps gordie has recently said this is one of his songs he doesnt enjoy as much playing live i know hard to believe but truee!

[bernito2]

not the city! buffalo the plains animal,you know the one the U.S. massaquer to drive the Native in reservation and then imported BACK in from Canada...like the skull on the T-shirt

[HowieTheFink]

The Hip are painfully underrated in the US. But Canadians love 'em.

[SuperShadowRyan]

Yes, but Americans like that no-meaning Hip-Hop

s***. And IM an american... I'm just different.

The Hip is for smart people.

[hipdead]

if i die a vanity promise me promise me they bury me some place i dont want to be you'll dig me up and transport me unceremoniously away from the swollen city breeze the garbage bag trees whispers of disease and the acts of enormity and lower me slowly sadly and properly get ry cooder to sing my eulogy at the hundreth meridian where the great plains begin

[hipdead]

not only is this one of the hip's best songs it is one of the best rocknroll songs of all time. it's pure poetry. haunting and evocative. i've seen them all. stones, floyd, who, sabbath, dead, no one even holds a candle to the hip. downey pours his very soul into every show. even to little crowds in places like asheville,nc. 300 people...awesome. i wish they could make it big here in the states. i've had many of the best times of my life, pure fuckin exstacy watchin the hip. long live the hip!

[thegirl44]

Someone should stitch that shit on a sampler, it's like prayer.

[hipdead]

at the hundreth meridian-3x- where the great plains begin at the hundreth meridian-3x-where the great plains begin i remember i remember buffalo i remember hengelo it would seem to me i remember every single fuckin thing i know

[lesterclaypool1]

I remember Antelope, not hengelo, but whatever floats your boat friend!

[primroseburrows]

No, it's actually "I remember Hengelo". :)

[hipdead]

at the hundreth meridian-3x- where the great plains begin left alone to get gigantic hard huge and haunted a generation so much dumber than it's parents came crashin through the window a raven strains along the line of a road carryin a muddy old skull the wires whistle their approval off down the distance

[hipdead]

need to debunk an american myth take my life in my hands where the great plains begin at the hundreth meridian at the hundreth meridian where the great plains begin drivin down a corduroy road weeds standin shoulder high ferris wheel is rustin off in the distance

[avidrocker]

[SteyrR]

Cool he remembers Hengelo :P

[KingFisher317]

[IchabodThorne]

[leostarr3000]

Awesome, The Hip are awesome song writers

[buckharder2]

Awsome song. One of my favorite hip songs and im a big fan of the hip

[aidsforeveryone]

God I love the Hip.

[habman19]

Seriously, this is a deadly song! Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy!!! I love it!

[badpenny46]

all of you are freaks! How can you not recognize the absolute genius of this. In the words of Napoleon Dynamite God!

[spazd0g]

The Hip are really good. But this song snt as good as some of their classics, like "New Orleans is Sinking" or "Little Bones". But after the second of thrid listen, its getting better. Weird video though!

[thundersites]

First comment! I like it, i never really liked 'em, but this song is pretty good!
