Gogol Bordello - Start Wearing Purple (acoustic)

[zachbdude]

his music is so much fun to listen to

[nickvonmises]

So! Ya! Ha!

[BergmansChild]

I hate the violinist. He is the violin god. I hate him...:P

[siyuntz]

god, i have such a crush on Eugene Houtz

[videovixen71]

@siyuntz Yeah... ur not the only one...!!

[lovetownsend]

dude this doods voice is crazy awesome. didnt know acoustic cover was possible...

[maragaram]

My wife's cousin played Moscow with these guys a few years back.. had a great time.

[92RedRevolver]

As much as I love Everything is Illuminated, seeing Eugene without his moustache is kind of like having my heart ripped in two.

Anyway, great version of this song!

[RockAngel7878]

@92RedRevolver OMG !! I didn't even recognize him with this mostache ..... I just saw everything is illuminated and started searching for this crazy song .

[littleredmistic]

Does anyone have all the lyrics in english? I was told this is a spiritual song... : )

[videovixen71]

@littleredmistic 'Start wearing purple' is about the Gypsy spirit.. being free and open and un-tethered to any of the usual restraints society imposes upon us... so in that sense it is spiritual....

[Jimithingdude]

Just saw them open for Manu Chao last night in NYC..What a great act!!

[3bloodynails]

This is awesome!!!

[Ebvardh]

I know he's gypsy and all, but why does it seem like he's permanently drunk?

[alucard6679]

@Ebvardh its just the way he is.....and im sure he does quite a bit of drinking

[VintagePatriot]

@Ebvardh it just happens when you start wearing purple!

[Ktingles6]

WTF IS THAT A PICK?! where the hell is that sexy slap/finger picking shit he does?!

[bobbuilderyeswecan]

I love it <3 H ow did they come up with this song it is so weird?

[AjStan89]

@bobbuilderyeswecan apparently its about an 'crazy' old lady that lived in the same block as Eugene and his GF. She always wore purple and whenever Eugene and his gf argued he would tell her she should start wearing purple (like the crazy old lady)

[bobbuilderyeswecan]

@AjStan89 that is so weird.

[uraniumgum]

rune boots

[BriBri897]

god. he's so sexy <3

[jacksonguitarsrule1]

[PUNKXx666]

Saw them last night! eugene shook my hand and patted my friend on the head at the end of the set!

[bfitzgerald92]

Those are some pretty sweet smurf-skin boots.

[fearthegeeklord]

If those shoes come any closer to that mustache there will be an explosion of win and sex.

[JustAnotherBeth]

[ChristyFisty]

Who DOESN'T love Eugene Hutz?!

Its hard for him to keep sitting on the chair!

[MultiMurder]

[roxierocks87]

@MultiMurder i heard its a gypsy thing.. wearing purple. he wanted a girl to wear purple.

[harco68]

Why his wear is printing Japanese?

[thesplage]

@harco68 With this band, any "why" question is best answered with a simple "why not?".

[metgot9]

They're like pirates that dress like homeless people! IT'S SOOOOOO AWESOME!!!! :D

[julieanne8225]

@metgot9

Right. That's why they have an album called Gypsy Punks, because they are pirates.

[avail2010]

I want gypsy punk sweat all over me!

[RachelleKayx]

Sexiest man alive!

[ramfree27]

[GBgypsyfrk75]

I got to meet all three of them Eugene, Sergey & Yuri a couple weeks ago and they ARE the coolest!!!

[Rocco9700]

I am in love with the violin player he is the coolest!

[unklelemmy]

@Rocco9700

His name is Sergey Ryabtsev and I agree he is awesome. But Eugen (the lead singer) is still the coolest.

[Hitlo58]

@Rocco9700 he looks like the kind of guy that would wear an aluminum helmet

[bethibubble]

I play this song to cheer my mates up all the time. It never fails =D

[mrgooders]

@SuperEyeClops Like a moustache? That makes me happy.

[BazookaChipmunk]

@mrgooders Zappa and Mercury need to get with it.

[dylster625]

@mrgooders Eugene's moustache is only surpassed by that of Eric Nally of Foxy Shazam!

[OmGzXX]

@dylster625 I'm going to have to say that's false. Sorry, pal.

[foamy1graff]

@mrgooders

franz nicolays moustach chalenges his

@ jerseysuave4 - hell yes. discovered them on the dmb 3d movie too. cant get enough.

[zira091]

[BoBeena]

Saw them 4 days ago and they were CWAZY FUN! Legs hurt from jumping and dancing... face hurt from smiling so much! This is my number two fave/awesome song (after Alcohol). LOVE THEM!

[JerseySuave4]

this is an ancient song thats been passed around the past 10,000 years from 1 gypsy (cant understand what he says) to another till we finally wrote it...

hahah thats hilarious. These guys rock

[JerseySuave4]

thanks for this video. I had never heard of these guys till i saw the 3D Dave Matthews Band movie and got to see Gogol Bordello in it. I was impressed with their performance, looked up their stuff and now i'm a huge fan. I missed the NYC shows recently but next time they come around no way will i miss these guys. They look like they put on a great show. I'm a new fan now and am glad they put them in that 3D movie or else i would still be missing out on this great band. Eugene is hilarious

[queenpinkhead]

saw them in pamona

jumped on stage

and went wild!

i love them

[radostp]

I sow them in Miami,they were massive,the crowd went wild ,even the bartenders that never heard of them bought all the CDs during the show,they were amazing.Real ,passionate and entertaining the way artist should beIf u have a chance to see them ,pls DO it is totaly worth itI rarely say that for a band

.

[devinehell]

he is my charasmatic leader of way of thinking, he is a celebrity for people who hate celebrity status.. when i work out a get 6 pack i see he has an eight pack on stage so i step down and let the forces of victory explain the light.
