Warren Zevon - My Shit's Fucked Up

[amichair]

i just saw it in californication and googled it. THIS IS LEGEND!

[DaMuttzNutz]

I'm going to have this song played at my funeral

[nukebuilder]

Zevon was such a fabulous artist. I wonder if he wrote this after he got sick.

[NanciBray]

@nukebuilder No, this was written long before. It was the first song on his 2000 Album Life'll Kill Ya.

[pghTC420]

. . . just an excitable boy... enjoying every sandwich ...in splendid isolation.....Happy Birthday to the werewolf of Chicago

[thesinner922]

Helath is priceless. I think that's what the song's about, as plain as it sounds

[Drunkeroc]

I get sad listening to this song, then I listen to roland the headless thompson gunner and get happy again

[G8GT364CI]

I think Warren is the first song writer I can really understand and relate to.

[BustinOutBrennan]

This guy is now my new hero :D

R.I.P The great WZ

[smith55s]

Great performance. RIP man

[holynetwork]

This man is among the great, never take him for granted, words of truth and wisdom in his music

[bucketheadistheman]

BTW WTF with dislikes on this? Who are these worthless fecks?

[Crazydog7]

@bucketheadistheman

They just got confused and hit the dislike by mistake.

[AmurPatel]

sound like piss on rock

[savagemann78]

This is some of the realest shit i ever heard, i felt similiar when i 1st scarface from ghetto boys, and close to when i first heard eminem

[boogiebabe67]

To the 17 people who dislike this: your shit's fucked up, and it's terminal - no cure for you!

[BlackmarketFTW]

love it

[transfertograham]

Hank Moody got me here. Warren Zevon did the rest. This song is more than just an amazing composition; it's a lifetime of emotions beautifully expressed in 3 minutes. Pure gold.

[HugeGene]

I needed that today cos my shit is certainly fucked up. Great song, great talent and some very nice fingerstyle picking. RIP WZ...

[TheNewermind]

Thumbs up, if you are listening to this cos your shit's fucked up...

[jabom99]

Honestly, this was a great musician. The guitar playing is so subtle and clean. An amazing talent lost.

[bobbybellsupreme]

what a beautiful guitar arrangement. i really wanna know the tuning cuz it aint standard. the tabs would be nice too.

[TheGplum1]

8 years gone & sorely missed. great memories of annual Cleve Odeon concerts. the last show unforgettable beyond the music...Cleve's finest ticketed me 'wrong way on a 1 way street in the Flats. Told him where we'd been...smiled but kept writing. gave me the ticket with comment 'lawyers & money' might work but not the 'guns'....almost made the $100 tolerable...

[jmcbrew]

My dad's best friend introduced me to WZ by giving me an unopened vinyl of Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School. I have since become a huge fan. Only a year or so after giving me that LP, he was diagnosed with cancer and died a few months later. This song will always remind me of him.

[rashidisoravek]

Whomever disliked this song is an dumbass

[usaboxbabe]

He was end-stage when he went public. He knew a long time before that.

[Dreadbagel]

Actually the song was from his "Life'll Kill Ya" album which was released in January 2000. He didn't get sick until 2002.

[SuperLadyRae]

@Dreadbagel Yes....you are right! I love Warren...I mean LOVE!

[NumbAsAStatue27]

The best day i ever had was the day i discovered Zevon. R.I.P Warren

[kokopelliize]

This was AFTER his diagnosis hence the song moron. Thank you Warren.

[jmaxcamp]

Warren , yes it has happened to most of us. Thank you for putting our angst to music

[Kryp2ni8]

[EncinoLIVE]

warren, fuck man, it must have sucked, life hey

[SuperSaiyanGamerDBZ]

is this song about his mesothelioma

[delaid32]

@SuperSaiyanGamerDBZ

no, this was from before he knew about it.

[SuperSaiyanGamerDBZ]

@delaid32  thanx

[imamcallen1957]

I have 2 friends,my best friend since 1st gade,please pray

[beitland12345]

Dont try. Always do.

Because, at the end of the day; It's all about her.

[timkessler17]

I had stage 3 melanoma which came with all the trimmings including radiation and drug (therapy they said) treatments. I was reduced to a 120 pound bag of bones. I made a big mistake and kept it to myself so as I cratered there was lots of speculation about about drugs and alcohol and backstabbers by the score. When I heard this song fron WZ it had a great effect on me so I got on my fuckin knees and prayed and starting smoking weed and eating cookies and got back in the ocean, surfin &WZ

[1905compton]

I wonder if Steve Jobs was singing this song jest before

[HungryVermilingua]

Once my shit was green, it was fucked up.

[meddetect10]

Nasty song and waste of talent, but meaningful! AND TRUE

[iggythepyro]

@meddetect10

It's not so bad- at least the swear words are used for more than just shock, and it encapsulates the feelings quite well.

[TheBlueb0ttle]

A cool dude....... ;-)

[marciebeezy]

My boy is in a coma with a bad brain injury. I listen to this song cuz I know he feels this way and can't tell me. He is a bass player who loves the great W.Z. He has a dream and it could be shot to hell. Just don't know.

[matanuskatundra2]

@marciebeezy thats some fucked up shit.

[moinsimion]

@marciebeezy He will get well.

[bucketheadistheman]

@marciebeezy

God bless you and your son.

[rmpryor]

@marciebeezy Sorry...

[wallyzworld66]

@marciebeezy

prayers in your direction

[watsuppeopleitsme]

@marciebeezy best wishes I dont pray but i do hope that your life has happiness and dont worry everyones shits fucked up its what you do with the fucked up shit that counts

[bucketheadistheman]

@marciebeezy

Hope you son is OK

[aavallone]

It's time for Warren to be in the hall of fame.

[bucketheadistheman]

@aavallone

Far past time, friend.

[MrJoemlgb]

@aavallone that is  so true

, a legend in our time

[bucketheadistheman]

@aavallone

WAY past time



[NumbAsAStatue27]

Damn this songs bad ass. Its dirty, hard as a rock, and true to the bone. Zevon new his shit and its still a damn shame that more people havent noticed. Always has been and always will be my favorite musician. R.I.P

[MsRuby44]

i hear this and wow.. . how true on so many levels... priceless!!!

[JumperPube]

He has amazing skills and the song is beautiful.  (R.I.P. Warren Zevon)

This should be an advertisment for erectile dysfunction.

[ChemicalPearl]

Seem as hes dead I guess his shit really is fucked up XD

[kaiebelmodezar]

@ChemicalPearl rot in hell faggot

[livedetih23]

same here xcept i typed fucked my world

[Anet99]

Just thinking about what's going on in this vicious political season ... and all the bullshit that's shoved down our throats and into our minds. Warren was a political activist. Most of his songs reflect the political mood of an angry, under-represanted class. I came across this song and said a prayer to the Universe, thanking Warren and asking for some kind of reprise from this "shit". BTW, Zevon despised the corporate Republican party of greed.

[TheRabbitsOnTheRun]

RIP Warren.....You're great & will live forever.

[BLACKMETALHELLBILLY]

found him through gg allin. dont know how..... but im 19 . drunk as shit. and this guy is amazing

[drwebs123]

miss this music so very much. RIP Warren.

[TravellinMan94]

Lost him 8 years ago today. R.I.P. Warren



[dancindutchweasel]

absolutely incredible song and brave performance!!! RIP Warren Zevon

[fishandchipsandpeas1]

@petersangel22 thanks for the free advice mate. only, if my name was rancidcheeseburger, that wouldn`t mean that that`s all i ate. by the way, i`m into my 4th day now. wish me luck instead.

[fishandchipsandpeas1]

i haven`t had a crap for 3 days, so i guess my shit`s fucked up

[petersangel22]

@fishandchipsandpeas1 perhaps more fiber in your diet besides fish and chips and peas?

[HEMIChopper69]

We miss you Warren, "The Original WearWolf "and hope to see you, when the time is right. R.I.P. God-Bless Your Soul

[ferreiraesi]

I was watching episode 1 of season 2 of Californication, and this song was played in the end credits.

Whats interesting is that my shit was also really fucked up to at the time.

[shihuandgi]

californication brought me here

[Stavinoj]

The shit that used to work won't work now.

[slopoke2383]

this may be 1 of the best songs ever written and sung by 1 of the greatest songwriter/singer of our generation, may God have mercy on your soul sir warren zevon.

[VBPM1971]

Never heart of this guy, but I love this song!

[LesPaulCustom79]

[ciarraibuzz]

@LesPaulCustom79 Die Republican whore!

[LesPaulCustom79]

@ciarraibuzz FYI....I'm NOT a Republican, I just think obamananna is fucking this country up.

[MrIbanos]

@LesPaulCustom79 That's the nice thing about opinions; ignorant ones are so easy to spot and ignore.

[LesPaulCustom79]

@MrIbanos Different strokes for different folks.....that is what makes this country so great. Opinions are like assholes and elbows......everybody has got one.

[oksuremaybe]

America's most underrated songwriter.

[SkateOrDie8814]

Miss You Warren,,, See You On The Other Side,, And We Will ROCK ON !!! HEMI

[ineptuslux]

RIP buddy.

[Lieu3C4]

Sometimes you need a pedestal and to learn to fly like Mercury and allow the crows that pass on by to shit on it . Come the rain, same again, same again.

[rrearth76]

when was this video taken?

[HEMIChopper69]

God-Bless You Warren, R.I.P.  "I'll Sleep When I'm dead"

[laurierchick11]

intriguing

[Kryp2ni8]

mine too . . lol

[123rcac]

how do yo do this?

[mikerynk]

this song was written well before Mr. Zevon was diagnosed with cancer,...on an album published 2 years before, called,...life will kill ya'....most of his work was this type of tongue in cheek dark humor,...

[mattoh1981]

i wish my shit was fucked up.... i can't stand the pressure... : (

[greenblobo9]

this is one of those rare occasions when the live version is better

[phildirt3]

13 morons

[bazlith]

his s is fkd up alright. knocking on heaven's door.? hmm, really.

[ClaytonsTv]

Does anybody know the real reasoning to this song? This is about him getting sick with his cancer...

[koverm]

@ClaytonsTv yeah no shit



[ferus999]

@ClaytonsTv U r Right its a sad song about himself and facing death !

[TommyDore]

I can't believe that this has only been viewed by 5153 peeps. What the hell is matter with the world too busy listening to synthesizers and watching wenches dance I guess. God damn I miss Warren

[enlightenedDiamond]

@TommyDore Ridiculous hey, Imagine thinking the Kardashians is more important than WZ - I can't see it and I doubt you could either.

[sm0kindatg00d]

whats wrong with me?

[JustTrollingAround]

@sm0kindatg00d let me break it to you son, your shits fucked up.

[phildirt3]

78 paramount seattle good show! he s missed

[forenergy]

that's the fucked up shit

[ebonyignitionflame]

it's all fucked up ...

[TheMagnusTheRed]

If this ain't music with heart, I don't know what is!

[raizen0987]

best lyrics ever

[harrychalcraft]

The shit that used to work, don't work now.

[enlightenedDiamond]

I think my shit's still fucked up because I can't stand people who think their shit's not fucked up - is that counter-intuitive or what?

[enlightenedDiamond]

I think my shit's still fucked up because I can't stand people who think their shit's not fucked up - is that counter-intuitive or what?

[LOLSushii]

this is fucking awesome.

[ugoodHomeBoy]

I was mad as hell, so I typed in "my shit is fucked up"

it brought me here.

perfect song for the mood.

[NewDaysofNoah]

@ugoodHomeBoy exactly

[roughriderslim70]

@ugoodHomeBoy this rings true

[LeperMessiah760]

@ugoodHomeBoy That's not really what this song is about.

[trevordunbar19]

@LeperMessiah760 He actually wrote and released this track a couple of years before he was diagnosed with cancer. Oddly prophetic huh?

[theredhackle22]

Growing old. What a pisser. It's happening to me.

[CoolHandBernard]

@theredhackle22 Do you also have terminal cancer?!

[smacksdiggum]

london is the only song he wrote

[MasterGrayJedi]

@smacksdiggum I hope you're not implying that the only song Warren Zevon wrote was "Werewolves of London" because if so you are sadly mistaken. He wrote all of his own songs and often wrote songs for other popular artists. To even imply that anyone else could write such genius is an insult to his memory.

[smacksdiggum]

@MasterGrayJedi no i'm not i ran out of room in my comment, you only read the last part of the last sentence. It is split into two comments

[smacksdiggum]

To all warren fans, I was lucky enough that my dad and uncles have been huge zevon fans their whole lives. They introduced me to him at a young age. You should not hate on the new fans coming to love Warren's music by being introduced to him through tv shows, but should be happy because warren is starting to get the recognition of his genius that he deserves, sadly the recognition is coming after his death. You should be happy that you don't have to put up with assholes who think werewolves of

[enlightenedDiamond]

@smacksdiggum For me it's not 'hate' in fact nothing like it. Perhaps a bit of contempt that they have to find excellent music through TV..??!!

[reenla]

This song makes me think of my good friend, Tim Maguire. God Bless Tim and may he write his own My Shit's Fucked Up.

[Milkybaxter399]

I'd heard of Warren Zevon years before this Californiacation bullshit.

[baracker1]

@Milkybaxter399 You goddamn hater, me too, but that doesn't mean, that Californication is a bullshit. Its one od the best series I've ever seen!

[3rdluckcharm]

Very sad song, I'll listen to this when I'm old, worn out, broken, and dying alone with my memories of what once was.

[ROFLmao35216]

I need to become a doctor to play this to someone.

[bucketheadistheman]

God bless you WZ

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

Had no idea he played guitar that well....

[needed92]

Californication...

[bobella26]

wow that was a cool song. well done too bad i never really listened to him after he passed.

[apacolipps]

Not merely a lyrical genius, but a first-rate musician to boot

[gr8wazoo]

It is almost like a prophesy.

[TheMikey1951]

@gr8wazoo You've sure got that right! If anyone doesn't believe it, just wait awhile! Love Zevon! ROCK ON!!!

[DanPat121]

Brilliant...beyond compare. Is this this performance from Jools Holland?

[graffman13]

@DanPat121 you stupid kid

[DanPat121]

@graffman13 I'm 35 years old, and I only inquired about the origin of the video clip, you fucking cunt.

[Brereton111]

@graffman13 troll fail troll

[apacolipps]

@DanPat121 I assumed it was from Jools as well, Dan. Looks like I'm a st

upid 35-year-old kid as well!

[quad1000]

Ah, I see.

[FoolFaces]

I've always loved Warren....but you sure that's not CHUCK NORRIS!! :)

[tyboy63]

I miss him.

[haleygayle]

beautiful guitar



[harrychalcraft]

"Then he raped her and killed her and built a cage with her bones."

No, I can't see why you're resting peacfully Warren, that's the fucked up shit. Hahahaha.

Great guy with a great sense of humour.

[grvtykllr]

@harrychalcraft you got two verses run together....

He raped her and killed her then he took her home.... after ten long years they let him out of the home he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones... Excitable boy! that was the album that brought me to Zevon in the late 70's when I was still a kid. I miss Warren, I hate knowing there will never be anything new from him again.

[peterzang]

@grvtykllr cheers!

[MDBrookman]

@grvtykllr Me too, my friend, Me too.
