@grumble5005 nobody really plays the song in a music video they add all kinds of cuts and other video. and for the synth sound there is his guitar track and a keyboard track.
My buddy was laying pipe for a living and the trench caved in...broke his back severeley..in traction at Sunnybrook Hospital for 2 months...rode in Iroc t-tops down listening to this song...died recently of cancer last year...he was my best friend ...miss you Buddy...Tom
@Ariosh2010 ... It's totally innuendo! Laying pipe means having sex, period. I wonder if all these other guys really don't get it, or if they're just messin' with us?
Getting a kick out of everyone claiming it a specific trade's themesong. Truth is, its relevant for any one of us that has to put the boots on and work with our backs out in the elements.
I guess where people get there interpretrations of this song from is relative to there own lives and professions, but if you take the lyrics word for word...it's about laying pipe (literally), and digging, so it is really about pipes and utility cables and excavators. But, there is the sexual innuendo side of it too...:)
best line "i put the pipe in pull it out again, my back is so sore i can't be working much more i cant get my traction the grounds too wet,i take a 10 min break ahh smoke a cigarette
IVE BEEN HIP TO DAVE FOR YEARS !!!growing up in BFLO.NY this is great...get him while he,s here..who knows someday ther maybe Candadians on the moon..god knows the high sheriff of hell is half way there
gotta love seeing this guy rock out till this day! seen him just a few weeks ago at the fergus ontario truck show for the second time in my life. i will remember it forever fuck yeah david wilcox!!
lol when i first heard this song it reminded me of my old supervisor...when it was playing on the radio as I walked off after we switched shifts I looked at him and had to laugh
cant wait to get my welding degree and pipe welder specialty and weld pipe to this song... GOING TO BE EPIICCC. only one at my school going into a trade
Boilermaker nothing...this is definitely a pipefitter theme song. Typical boilermaker, looking to steal anything that belongs to a pipefitter!!!!! Dirtbags
fuck yes, saw him at the ex in ottawa in 08 and was yelling for laying pipe all show, then he exits the stage without playing it, so i was rite pissed, but the he comes back to rock the house with laying pipe, long live wilcox, king of canadian rock
I love the stock CBC footage, looks like the beginning of Sesame Street. Everyone needs to see David Wilcox playing in a biker bar at least once...classic.
@hockeynut474 HE DID come to Stroud in 1988 and he was great. Some woman told me I had a frown on my face. I was paying close attention to David's playing.
Holy fucking shit, this is the most kickass song to ever enter my ears. I think the only regret in my life thus far is not having layed pipe to this song! Holy...fuck!
I figured it out... He's in the key of G#. The chords aren't hard, but the rhthym is a bit tricky. It's not your standard I IV V blues. The verse is basically G#,B,G,B, C#,B, C# C# B (4 times?) then E, B C# 3times folowed by a D#. The chorus goes F#, C# G#, F#,C#,G#, F#, C#, G#, F#, C#. You can use simple Root-5 (Power Chords?). There is a much better way to play the main riff in the verse but it would probably take me a year to tab it out. Anyway, have fun!!
Probably the ultimate euphimism for our favourite bodily function... in the format of a song. I cant think of any other song or artist off the top of my head that does such an effective job of detailing all the things that go along with _ _ _ lol- back pain, growing twice as long, etc.
Long Live Wilcox and his music.
p.s. Check out his annual (free) performances at the Welland Ontario Canal Days festival during the summer. Well worth the trip.
The Greatest Canadian Barroom-Blues Rocker of all time! His live shows surpassed/surpass beyond all imagination these video representations in: intensity,energy,atmosphere,raw Rock n' Roll,instrumental virtuosity, and personality. David Wilcox, Wunderbar!!!
I think " Layin Pipe" is about something other than construction..... "Layin Pipe all night long to satisfy that woman"...."I put the pipe in...I pull it out again". I think it's more tongue-in-cheek about getting laid.
Saw David and his band during Grey Cup week in Toronto this November. He's as awesome now as he ever was. Although he was the last act in the "Classic Rock" show with Trooper, Loverboy, and April Wine, he stole the show and was worth the wait as the nights last act. And yes, he laid some pipe that night. LOL
This song makes me want to lay pipe.
