@gogogadgetspoon they are not from manhattan...they are immigrants from(almost)all over the world...the singer went to usa in 1992,after the chernobyl..
This should be on every 3rd-6th grade listening list in the U.S. in the school system. Every 8-11 year old kid I play this song/video for wants to hear it again every time they come over. Best "request" in the world--kids! Educators of all kinds, at every level need to get in better touch when it comes to teaching kids.
I was RATM lastnight live in dublin,I'd never heard of these guys,and nobody else I talked to had either,after they finished there set everyone was like "Holy shit Im looking these guys up!"
They were amazing live,dunno how I had;'nt heard of them before!
I went there for like 4:30 so I could get up front,held that spot all the way through gallows and GB then RATM came on and everyone flooded me so quick :P
i remember when i first saw this video years gone by, on a local public access channel in Atlanta (channel 24 on cable back then). In the evenings they would have a little rock segment, where they use to play a lot of unheard bands in a very unusual blend. although i was anxiously waiting for the rock segment to end, because later on in the program they would show sexual explicit content...as i was waiting to masturbate i saw this unusual video and became one of the first to hear about them.
My understanding is that he was dating a girl who shared a flat with another girl who was a little crazy and wore lots of purple...Apparently the writer would say to the girl "why dont you start wearing purple" if she were acting crazy...
@youhaveimaginitis When Eugene moved in with his girlfriend (Eugene is the lead singer...) in NYC, they had a crazy female neighbor that always wore purple. When Eugene and his girlfriend got in a fight, he would tell his girl that she "might as well start wearing purple."
@drag0nfig0 yea i also think i read somewhere that she was old too. so he would tell her start wearing purple meaning that she is acting like an old crazy lady :)
@ilikemusicverymuch it's called Violetta. :) Actually this melody has been used for many "blatnye" songs in Russian. Folk music for criminals so to say.
