Woody Guthrie - Biggest Thing Man Has Ever Done

[MrJihadJesus]

Chuck Norris is not a hunter. He is a 70,year old, hair dying, bible thumping, botox taking celebrity. Give it a rest.

[beardedyodeler]

Some rich folks are thinking that the world belongs to them Us common working people must show them once again We gotta raise old billy hell and show that upper one Why America is the greatest thing that man has ever done

[hondatom100]

his words were of wisdom

[catcher257]

fuck nazis

[mattymraz]

I wish folk artists nowadays could come up with lyrics like this guy.

[paragtime]

nothing against unions..idiots that can't do anything on their own should stand together..and as a company there should be a right to fire the lazy sobs who won't work...life is good.

[tinkydinkyful]

I LIKE Woody Guthrie!!

[thecrew777]

Wow. Love Guthrie. Thank you.

[Hister333]

3 people don't want the human race to succeed.

[areology]

Yeah! IF YOU'RE READING THIS HITLER, WE'RE GOING TO KICK YOU IN THE PANZERS!

[kennedynut]

Whenever I look up the lyrics for this song I find a version with about twice as many verses but I've been unable to find a recording of the complete song. Any suggestions?

[rememberthepeople]

Love Woody, but I can't help but wince at the nationalism towards the end of this one. It can be forgiven, since it's Woody, but still. Supporting the little people doesn't mean supporting the country. In point of fact, it was the little people Woody loved who were dying so the fascists could profit off the war. Hitler wasn't the only fascist that needed killing :P

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@rememberthepeople i feel ya man, but you ever think he was being a bit ironic, i get a hint of cynism in his voice

[beardedyodeler]

@rememberthepeople Remember, he was writing this during World War II when we just entered the war. Woody knew this was a time to unite the country to fight a great evil. Woody loved American and thought it was a great country, but he knew we had problems we needed to fix so everyone could get a fair shake.

[SwingStu]

Why all the anti-welfare talk? What ever happened to the good will of man? Seriously, the right-wingers detach Humanity from all its redeeming features.

[TheTopBloke]

@SwingStu Not necessarily. If you've been screwed by Democrats you realize they aren't really out to help you. They're out to help themselves. And no, I'm not a republican.

[davidallenroth]

@TheTopBloke

liar

[TheTopBloke]

@davidallenroth Idiot.

[davidallenroth]

@TheTopBloke

republican

[TheTopBloke]

@davidallenroth I am NOT a Republican you idiot.

[Hister333]

@TheTopBloke Well, if you don't like this song, you're a special kind of asshole.

[TheTopBloke]

@Hister333 I never said that, so the implication proves you're a special kind of idiot.

[Hister333]

@TheTopBloke No, you didn't. I shouldn't have posted that on your thread. It was misleading.

[paragtime]

another socialist who didn't realize the unions were Hiter's tool....and will still kill America.

[missingpeace2]

Are you fuckin' retarded? Unions are the only tool the working man can use in order to get a fair shake. Without Unions workers wouldn't be able to negotiate with big business. They's just tell you to fuck off because there's a million people, who would be willing to replace you and do it for far less. They'd have you argue over scraps, squirming under their fascist boot. You take a way a person's right, not just to speak but to be heard...That person stops being American. You stop being human.

[LayneJ10]

@missingpeace2 WHAT IS THIS BULL-CRAP, Unions are just a bunch of lazy people who want to be paid like doctors for putting a nut to a bolt on a car 1000 times a day. The reason they don't want to pay you that much is because the work you do isn't work it. So either stop complaining and being a little bitch, or go get a job where any illegal immigrant CAN take your place.

Oh and by the way nice grammar.

"They's just tell" me that you aren't all that smart.

[TheEnviroFriend]

@LayneJ10 exactly, why should the "lazy" people who do all the work get anything?

[RobertZimmerman897]

@LayneJ10 Eat Shit. Are you lost? I think you're looking for the "I love Hitler/I'm a big Nazi" Video. People deserve to be paid an amount that encourages and ensures their continuing existence. Without unions to back us up we're at the mercy of corporations. Last time I checked they don't give 2 shits about us. Eventually there wont be any jobs for anyone in this country, not even "illegal immigrants." And guess what asshole? You're an immigrant, I'm an immigrant. They's=They'd (typo) idiot.

[moonbaby77]

@RobertZimmerman897 i was going to say the exact same thing to that asshole, but you already said it.

[raggdwood]

@paragtime how in any way were unions "hitler's tool"??? im actually kindof interested in what you have to say about this.. throwing around hitler's name like that.. must be good!

[FvckTheFvckingSystem]

@paragtime You.  Are. COMPLETELY unininformed/misinformed.

[enkelin32]

@paragtime I suggest you read some history,  Under the enabling act of 1933 Hitler OUTLAWED all independent trade unions, as well as the socialist party of Germany the SPD and the communist party the KPD.

[Hoovercat]

@enkelin32 correct....Hitler outlawed everything that might threaten his hold on power, he even destroyed the SA that got him there....Hitler, was a wanker.

Rom fällt,Faschisten fallen, sind gefallen.

Israel lebt. Und wird leben. Gott segne die Vereinten Staaten.

[ledZeppelin7680]

@SmashThaNaziscum Gott ist ein Aberglaube. Israel und die vereinigten Staaten Faschismus sind sehr verschiedene Orte.

[SmashThaNaziscum]

@ledZeppelin7680

You dont believe in God? Your choice.

Israel still lives and USA also, God bless both. And all Fascist are bound to lose! Yeah!

[ledZeppelin7680]

@SmashThaNaziscum I don't believe in fairy tails, there could be a creator of all this, whether there is or not doesn't interest me, nor is there any proof in either direction, but what I'm sure of is if there is a creator he doesn't care if you fuck before marriage, he doesn't care if you gather in a building every sunday, and he most certainly does not want your kids alone in a small wooden sctructure telling a pedophile what they've done wrong. no religion is going to bring you closer to god.

[SmashThaNaziscum]

@ledZeppelin7680

It is you free descision. I respect it.

But true religion is not an institution. And if someone says: I believe in God, but in otherway he kills or let kill innocent people, God gave a shit on them. But if someone do something good, God will see it in anyway.

[Zeppelinfaktor]

2 people are hiding in Argentina

[grungeisdead371]

the tune sounds similar to the civil war song "im a good ole rebel) i like it

[ivegotamagicstix]

Woody wrote a song about the town I live in Calumet, MI..... Massacre of 1913 at the Italian hall...The doorway arch still stands today.

[dirtynuke]

I'm the greatest historical bum :)

[WhoGotTheDutch]

Woody Guthrie is the biggest thing that man has ever done....

[jzwief]

we could learn so much from his generation.. so damn much

[TheKinchdedalus]

Great time to be hearing Woody

Zimmerman was right to seek out Guthrie but if I did it, I'd have to go with Marquez.

[carrywet]

This photo of Woody looks like Sean Penn.

[stablejelly]

@carrywet Yeah, you're right. They ought to remake Bound For Glory, but this time go with a story that is way more accurate. I don't how anyone who has read about Woody can watch that movie. Penn would be great.

[mariolopez420]

@carrywet sean penn should play woody guthrie!!

[TheCoyot95]

Great ! 

[Bandit4Pabst]

"Im The Man Who Signed The Contract To Raise The Rising Sun." Everytime I Hop A Freight Train, Woodys With Me.

[vanderbilt887]

Thanks for this upload, thanks to Woody for this wonderful song, and thanks to all those brave soldiers for sending Hitler to hell.

[seshala]

THIS MACHINE TRULY KILLS FASCISTS!!!!!!!

[NegativeNick]

greatest things man has ever done?

realized he is made of star stuff and comes from the dust and to dust he will return

[Cocarat206]

The song is sung from the point of view of every good Human being who wants freedom, justice, and liberty across the world, and history :)

[yeomenrugby1]

amen woody, amen. when did music loose its meaning?

[jhvscs]

@yeomenrugby1 it didn't - don't worry

[Meggiekb]

When rap was brought into our world

[yeomenrugby1]

couldnt have said it better

[DaktaBubbles]

@Meggiekb I mostly agree however, you must remember this guy was rare for his time, just as bob dylan in his time, and billy bragg or public enemy in theirs. I have heard bad music from all eras' and great music too. Be optimistic about music give new things a chance, after all that is what all great musicians have done/ do.

[FrozenSpaceTuna]

@Meggiekb A Tribe Called Quest (among others) is good rap, friend. Don't confuse pop music with rap. Most, if not all, popular music (not just rap, but ALL types of popular music) is terrible. Blame the record companies that have near absolute control over what we hear on the radio and television, and are only in it for the money.

[jerzy862]

@Meggiekb thats an unfair statement and you know it, theres alot of good rap. whats played on mtv isnt a good example of it

[Jesusplant]

@Meggiekb Look up Immortal Technique .. as with every genre there is much crap that is marketed and promoted as the good music of that genre only because the music only promotes being a good consumer or writes lyrics that are just meaningless

[Rhawneld57]

Nice Folk Music.  thanks for sharing that.

Cheers Ron from Canada!

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

There's a man across the ocean and I guess you know him well

His name is Adolf Hitler and damn his soul to Hell!

We'll kick him in the Panzers and put 'em on the run

And that will be the biggest thing that man has ever done!

This machine kills fascists, indeed.

[dufvasven]

@poughkeepsiejohn1

Good Hitler is out of the way but too bad we lost track of our own little facists... It's a bit sad to listen to these old political folk singers and realize that the hope they had, for the people to fight for a better system, a better world, has gone straight to hell. Sure people have gotten a better life standard but they are still in the end oppressed by the capitalist system, and freedom, equality, solidarity and true democracy is maybe even farther away today.

[Hister333]

@poughkeepsiejohn1 Now if man can get off his Raspberry, and go after the insurance companies, we'd be on to something...

[Hatebot123]

@poughkeepsiejohn1 Hitler may have lost WWII but fascism did win.

[SirDcitykity]

@Hatebot123 It is sad, but you are right. 9/11 provided the hammer that put the last nail in the coffin fabricated in the1980s to destroy democracy in America.

[lulustu]

great lyrics, great song. Thanks for upload

[thedarkpoets]

Thank you for knowing this.

[SkankBangertonsays]

I'm just a lonesome traveler, The Great Historical Bum.

Highly educated from history I have come.

I built the Rock of Ages, 'twas in the Year of One

And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done.

I worked in the Garden of Eden, that was the year of two,

Joined the apple pickers union, I always paid my due;

I'm the man that signed the contract to raise the rising sun,

And that was about the biggest thing that man had ever done.

[Macjimster]

Amazing song.
