Harvey Danger - Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo

[MrRpfoley]

Weezer blows up big and these guys don't? Dislike

[nezzynez]

9 to 5 shoutout?

[Demolitionman10000]

Ione Skye

[jacobdubya]

Like most people, I'd never heard anything by Harvey Danger except for "Flagpole Sitta." This song is pretty damn good, unfortunately it seems like it was just released at the wrong time. Had it been released today, I think it probably would have fared better amongst some of the more "indie" rock acts with keyboards that are popular.

[MultiCgp]

Yeah it is pretty catchy, used to listen to it when 107.7 Extreme was active here in Victoria, B.C., Canada.

Ione skye? That's her name? Looked good in high heels when she was an office temp :)

[Revitandgo]

1:54 I have the same VHS player!!! Well I use to. Had my Nintendo 64 hooked up to it!!!

Miss those days :(

[MrPopoProductions]

@Revitandgo I still have that one. Never hooked up my N64 to it, got it just a few years ago. I didn't get any new systems (I grew up with the NES being my only system) until the PS2 had been out for a few years, and I had always hooked that up to a different VCR we were using at the time.

[MrPopoProductions]

@Revitandgo Actually I think it was only a year and a half ago... I still only have one game on it. :l

[IndysBack]

Not gonna lie, That girl has a nice ass.

[keepmusicevil89]

@IndysBack  had probaBLY

[UnicornsAndDinosours]

iop

[kustumpainter1]

Song is good but what makes this video is the BEAUTIFUL Ione Skye!!!! Wow she is amazing!!!! (Say Anything movie fame...)

[bresmith]

@kustumpainter1 Ad Rocks down with the Ione

[heartonabackpack]

I just stayed up to 1:30 AM looking up bands. Some were very not very enjoyable, to say the least, so it's a damn good thing I ended with these guys. They made the last three hours worth it.

[ashybar]

@heartonabackpack Haha same here.



[TheEDZEPPELINBAND]

@heartonabackpack funny how that works out-

[Jormungandr69]

I don't know how this reminds me of the offspring.

[dalmohern]

ANOTHE GREAT SONG, fuck it. It's their third song and I can't stop listening.

[incubuskid09]

Song's a fucking jam.

The Marlboro man died of cancer, and uh, he wasn't a rocket scientist when he was healthy...hahaha

[FuseAQM]

Top Comments are proof: This band was so ahead of it's time.

[TheEDZEPPELINBAND]

I love this,stuff

[HDangerism]

I'm Harvey Dangerism, and I approve of this video

[AdRichBiatch]

I think Harvey Danger's "King James Version" album is similar to Weezer's "Pinkerton" in that it was hugely under appreciated when it was released, but as time goes on it will develop an grow underground following, when people realize they had a lot more than "Flagpole Sitta" to offer.

[TOBORtheMighty]

@AdRichBiatch Wish it had happened for them before they called it quits. I totally bought "Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?" because I heard Flagpole Sitta on the radio... Then it turned out they were one of my favorite bands.

Have to wonder what would have happened if Flagpole Sitta were released during the internet and file-sharing era. Maybe they would have caught their break.

[Mistercyncality]

they kinda look like the original hipsters

[CoheedAtThe930]

this song is amazing...not that i didn't have high hopes before clicking

[futuresite2323]

Sean Nelson=Genius

[electricbixxh]

@futuresite2323 I may be alone here but Sean Nelson = Sexy pants

[Jdubeats]

This song kind of sounds like Servo by the Brian Jonestown Massacre

[pgrath1]

I don't know who has better lyrics - Oasis or Harvey Danger. 

[FrankTheTank7774]

m shadows killed it!

[victorianrobot]

"The Marlboro man died of cancer and he wasn't a rocket scientist when he was healthy, ha ha ha" Such a bitingly funny line, but there's also something so incredibly sexy about how he says it, heh.

[fantheman6969]

The Marlboro man really did die of lung cancer the irony

[nurofiend]

@fantheman6969 looked it up, 3 actors who played him all died of lung cancer

[azimangoez]

@nurofiend

probably because of all the free smokes marlboro gave them

[Powerfistsguk]

thanks for posting this..

[senoritabandita]

Is that Ione Skye? Awesome video...I <3 Harvey Danger. People who write them off as 'one hit wonders' are missing out!

[stillspooky]

@senoritabandita yes, it's Ione, one hit wonders have one more hit than I've had...

[1985nightshade]

where can you download this song at

[robjeruncle]

this is great, i've only watched it once and i'm hooked. how many bands can you say that about that are around right now? NONE i'll bet. did talent disappear along with the 90's?

[SiligeM]

For a rodeo song I don't really like it,.........just sayin.

[grungefreak10]

They made several catchy songs with memorable lyrics. It is kind of frustrating how many talented artists will end up with the One-Hit-Wonder status (their dedicated fans will deny it across the board, but they are) while other performers with far less talent will become enduring artists. Oh well. Showbiz is a bitch.

[codra9]

i miss these days, with eve 6 and all that other mad shit that be gone.

[13Knives1]

LOVE the song. Too bad they never got the recognition they deserved. They were ahead of their time.

[retrospectical]

Ahead of their time, for sure.

[Taarable]

Rodeo? Tut tut tut. This song is quite good despite that.

[ZellerX]

yup that is Ione Skye

[userboy6]

this song is fuckin great, the video is a little weird though.

[RasMajnouni]

seen her somewhere in celluloid

[itsthatsebguy93]

bands always seem to split as i get into them :(

[102611ful]

harveys music was good but his look wasent right the 90s were coming to an end and music like this was being targted for extermination to make way for more rap music and the brittneys and cristina girl wannabes thats why there music never got big.

[agusprox]

your rigth :(

[71savages]

I don't see how this song never got HUGE.

[elrhiarhodan]

me either - makes no damn sense at all.

[sweet1172]

@71savages seriously. So bummed it's over for them.

[bassguitarfreek]

@71savages Because it's too smart for the average radio audience

[tdavis7073]

@71savages I know right?

[EvanAsimov]

Sean Nelson rock !!

[xxlesslikeitsmathxx]

Damn, they wrote some catchy tunes. Catchyyyy.

[futuremanitoban]

Great song!

[78Revolutions]

This song used to irritate the sh*t out of me when it was in regular rotation. I loved Flagpole Sitta so much, and just didnt get this songs vibe. But looking back on it, Its a pretty damn catchy song, especially compared to the sh*t  those same stations play nowadays.

[hazaraku]

What really makes both songs work for me is knowing their other stuff. Their poetic-ish style, all that, it just allows you to see it as more than just a catchy tune, but a great HD track.

[tyikiki101]

@78Revolutions thumbs up for the radio

thumbs down for the censershit

[78Revolutions]

@tyikiki101 Hahaha. Sorry. The SHIT on the radio today is SHITy SHIT SHIT. ;)

[tyikiki101]

@78Revolutions lol

[JACKALSPLICER]

@78Revolutions All Harvey Danger= Awesome. (<-- Thats a period)

[Voiceinthewall]

Just saw them. said to be their second to last show ever..i hope not. lol I got to meet em. nice guys

[sublimerulz1]

90s good times

[Demolitionman10000]

thats Ione Skye in the Video

[RoyStorey]

My mom threw this album away shortly after I bought it when I was younger. Good times!

[agusprox]

Hey!

Isn't she the girl with the baby in the freeway on Zodiac??

excuse my english though

[cathoderoy]

3 facts about Ione Skye:

1. She's got one of the most beautiful faces in the world.

2. Her father is the singer/songwriter, extrordinaire, Donovan Leitch

3.She has really nice tits, which can be seen displayed prominently in the first part of the movie "Four Rooms". ...that's about it.

[agusprox]

hey where can I see that part of that movie?

Im really intrested XD

a question: is that Donovan Leitch you mention, is the one who wrote "Hurdy Gurdy Man" that appears at the beginnig in Zodiac?

[elrhiarhodan]

Yes.

[agusprox]

I knew it!... I love that movie... seen it 10 times at least..

and this song rocks!

[tyikiki101]

@agusprox wow u have alot of patients, that movie makes me fall asleep right after the girl and guy get shot....no real ending no point

[agusprox]

your right... good point, "no real ending"... yeah that's about it... but, you know what?... I've seen a lot of "based on real events" movies (you know.. movies that "really happened") and they are all REALLY boring... I mean, appart from the WWII movies that dont count because they are all the same, THIS movie showed something real, in the most fantastic way posible, that's a little hard to achieve dont you think?,

excuse my english.

[tyikiki101]

@agusprox yeah it is, although id rather read about it...and dont worry my english is terrible to...and it's my first language

[buickcitycomplex]

Really? That's where you recognize her from. What about Say Anything?

[agusprox]

No idea!.... i recognize her from that movie... im sure shes her.

say anything? thats a movie or a music video?

[agusprox]

que buena banda esta loco... cada cancion me sorprende mas

[intlwarcriminal]

seriously underrated band.

sean nelson is one of the best pop vocalists ever

[JS4AB]

VOTE GREEN PARTY !

[delldell21]

Anyone know where their is a torrent of this album? ;_;

[tyikiki101]

pirate bay i'm sure

[randyripoff]

The hop step at 2:45...

[thegoodcocklife]

There's facebook campagin to get this band back on tour if you could all join it?

[fitz4609]

This gal hates her life, her live in metro sex boy friend and her job so much that she creates a delusion real enough for her to hog tie Lumberg.

[Deadbirdcheese]

So dreams are delusions now? lol

I know what you mean...but there is a meaning to it.

[pinkmartini98]

that girl in the video is so beautiful, she was Diane Court in 1989's "Say Anything"...I think her real name is Ione Skye. She did a great job on the video, and I absolutely adore this band. They really "stick it to the man". They are the reason why I do what I want to do in my life.

[Deadbirdcheese]

I'm officially in love with this song. Amazing band.

[randyripoff]

Me too. The video rocks too.

[endevero]

I love this band! just plain awesome.

[randyripoff]

Love this video...sums up everyone who isn't doing what they want.

[PrivateRyan798]

drums are very good in this song

[PrivateRyan798]

just as good if not better than flagpole sitta

[cackermuffin]

problems and bigger ones!!! what a tune. what a band!! good stuff. ...merrymakers... is such a fat album.

[firetruckgreen]

Their singer always looks like Tim Robbins to me... which is fine.

Their new album is free on their website and its really effing good.

[IndysBack]

Give it a rest a give it a rest a give it a... what does he say after that? I can't understand...Bad night sleep?...perhaps...

[Pieuw]

Yep, "bad night sleep" I guess ^^'

[toddh1988]

yes, bad night's sleep.

[pearljammer13]

Man is this band underrated or what? What a shame. I dont get why some great bands like this simply fall through the cracks.

[IndysBack]

Ahooooo-oooo-o-o-o

[sheeezy]

Man this is such a badass song, you guys are right about it not becoming a major hit but kicking lots of ass.

I love how he tells the stories in his songs.

[littlegreengamer]

you're so right. not to mention this is one of the most underrated videos ever made. i can assure you that the only reason it didn't get a lot of publicity is because it didn't have boobs in the camera like everything else on MTV. this gets a five; and you get a thumbs up.

[IndysBack]

Amen! :)

[especkman]

This whole album got caught in the implosion/consolidation of the music industry. I didn't realize that they even got budget for a video.

I did some work to get their website ready for this release, and my understanding is that I was lucky that I got paid by the label. Apparently the check was cut as their label was getting reorged out of existance for a second time.

[theseanman]

Great song AND Ione Skye? Can't beat that!

[jaxbus3000]

a great band and this song is awsome and its hard to believe that it wasnt a huge hit for them. deff one of my most played songs on my ipod.

[IndysBack]

Mines Flagpole Sitta and Seal...

[ShenmueAtheist]

OMFG! This band and this song fucking own all!

[ekhazam]

how come this wasn't a major hit? this song is amazing

[ShenmueAtheist]

I have been thinking this to myself ever since I first heard this song.

[liveup5]

An excellent tune. Way better than Flagpole Sitta.

[IndysBack]

Would you really say that?...

[GeraldWatercrest]

Harvey Danger rules. Simple as that.

[btb300]

I really like the bass line in this one.

[HoneyVlover]

i love love love love love this song

[fitz4609]

This gal hates her life, her live in metro sex boy friend and her job so much that she creates a delusion real enough for her to hog tie Lumberg.

[fitz4609]

Wow, I did'nt think people would get it.

These guys are genius and there people that understand the futility of normal life.

[fitz4609]

not many people get this vid

[Chase55]

They need to write more songs like this one... actually, how long has it been since their last album? They need to write more songs period.

[GeraldWatercrest]

Their last album, 'Little By Little' came out a little over two years ago, I think. Check it out...I consider it their best work.

[dennyglo91]

i dont like the video but the song is sweet

[HoneyVlover]

song rocks

[m0nkeys33]

WTF! that shit is mad crazy love it tho MOAR

[AliceDeejay]

where's the bass player on this vid ???

[hazardboy69]

he's there dude

[666freak999]

with the holo body bass

[dennyglo91]

one of the greatest, most under-rated bands EVER

[chriscauldermusic]

@dennyglo91 fuckin-a right.

[MrJohnyGoatzyn]

@dennyglo91 SOOOO true :)

[oxalicman]

The 90's were good because there was a sort of "show off" scene where anybody could do music. I love that period.

[Shred2Death]

o i get it.

period, like lady blood.

good one.

[jtboll00]

yea great time for music.. waiting for another time like that

[superflysuperwhite]

the singer is one ugly bastard but damn can he sing.

goood shiz good shiz

[Idropkickedmurphy]

Hehehe. He looks *exactly* like a friend of mine. Not exagerating(massacred that word, I know), either.

[shokyu42]

poor guy.. he ain't that ugly.. but he sure as hell can sing, that's right..

[jos0531]

Man, he was almost Craig Finn.

Also, I'm diggin' the Ione Skye cameo at 1:31.

[squishykitty3]

i still say save it for later is the best he's done

[stiny91]

Yea, I'd have to agree. I think it's better than the original version.

[stiny91]

Man, it's so cool to see how much H.D.s stage performance has improved since their debut in the 90's. Just AWESOME.

[squishykitty3]

ok 90's music was the best! now we just get this retarded shit that all sounds the same hahaha

[stiny91]

EXACTLY! And people wonder why I listen to this stuff still. lol Fuck them.

[LadyMir307]

This song/video/band is the best thing that ever happened.

[HDangerism]

and 2:58!!!

[HDangerism]

The move at 3:08 is the coolest shit ever!!!

[yourlastopinion]

Geeks unite! Let's turn our speakers up!!!

[rocker1928]

AMEN

[Fink1001]

i cant turn mine any louder!

[synstruct]

my neighbors are already pounding the walls

[pathogenB]

amazing album. just amazing...

[phreebuttsecks]

great band! Tell people about them.

[crazyperrainfeliz]

i agree with u guys, H.D. is a really great band, un fortunately not known by many ppl

[Pogoman987]

yet another GREAT song by harvey danger. they are so underrated

[Congest]

Love this song. Harvey Danger were a band that never had the level of success they really deserved.

[eyepatchplease]

I didn't catch this one when it came out. Sounds great. And hey, Ione Skye!

[LinksLiege]

This band is so addictive to listen to. All of their songs are ridiculously catchy.

[Bamngbola]

is it just me or is there a resemblance between the singer and seth mcfarlane?

[rxcot]

this is good pop you perv-setters.

[69TooFine]

btw this song sucks

[alphalord420]

These guys may be quirky, but the lyrics are quite clever, the music in most of their songs is very catchy, and they still hold their own for being an indie band with the guts to offer their album (including artwork) for a free download from their website because they are confident that once people hear the album they'll either buy it, spread the word about them, or both. Good marketing AND good fan loyalty. You don't find that alot anymore, so much respect for H.D.!

[chaseishotter]

i personally love this band.

[theweeze21]

Truth be told, everyone is entitled to their opinion. To each their own. However as a musician who knows many other musicians...you would be surprised to discover how many famous bands out today have been influenced by Harvey Danger. They have inspired a lot of people...so before you knock them, ask yourself... how many people have you inspired?

[ralphian67]

To quirky to make it big ....... sorry.

[kevinkkrk]

It's the world series, and they call it that simply because the teams in other countries simply aren't quite as good as the best U.S. teams....i think..... i'll look it up.
