Randy Newman - 11 The Great Nations of Europe (Jazz Open 06)

[Cypress813]

bullets, disease, the Portuguese, they weren't there anymore!

[bensdadfrank]

Just in awe of his lyrics, music, and offbeat point of view. He was never just for Pixar!

[YouAreInvalidOwned]

Fuck this song and fuck my teacher

[Josie5100]

that's Randy Newman-real.

[lragh]

The canarian part is inaccurate, we keep some guanche blood and traits. Canary Islanders were never fully "gone". We are here.

[texxbee]

Penetratingly honest and accurate lyrics, exposing white American and European adventurism and hypocrisy at every turn.

[Lrg8607]

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, cause the grand nations of Europe are comin' through!

[poltronafrau]

funny to sing this to germans!!! hahahahahahaa

[theoriginalbadbob]

@poltronafrau Yeah, and the bastards just gave some polite "golf applause" at the end of the song.

[bensdadfrank]

baladonian, as it should be!

[composerdoh]

I first hear this song on Prairie Home Companion years ago. I'd never heard any of his stuff, really, (as an adult anyway) other than his movie/TV stuff.

So, you can imagine, my jaw.

dropped.

(and to be honest, it choked me up.)

I mean, it's obvious the guy is talented, but I had no clue he was so deep, and capable of such biting humor.

Of course, I now have a huge respect for the man, but I haven't seen or heard from this song since.

Thanks for posting!

[MrKlatez]

I'm a british man, so technically, I am a europian. Being a fan of Randys, I think this should be my national anthem it's so...well...great!

[baladonian]

lol whole audience is white

[froggiemattie]

Randy Newman is the master, seen him twice live, and they are memories I'll have forever.

[bensdadfrank]

amen trajan75. i might add that this is brilliant satire.

[openingstar]

Love this by Randy....Brilliant !!!

[apatheticsquirrel]

"...But bullets, disease and the Portuguese..." Fantastic!

[NICIDICIPoet]

Classic, beautiful.

[fjccommish]

How evil Western Society, the very society in which this man, whose every song sounds the same, makes his living.

[trajan75]

@fjccommish Take it easy. It's a satire. Like Swift's "A Modest Proposal". And it's funny besides.

[Hoboscouts]

hey do me a favor, this isnt twitter so dont do that shit

[trajan75]

You're obviously very well educated. Did you get your degree from Oxford or Cambridge?

[Hoboscouts]

Nope but I bet I make more money than you so i dont really care about grammar

[trajan75]

Too bad you can't buy yourself some class.

[TheJvancedance]

this is effing great! hide your wives and daughters!

[Motorbikesrule999]

gay

[Motorbikesrule999]

Not going to camp it up with the Scouts?

[Alkvarus]

Guanches "weren't there anymore"? That's inaccurate, guanches never totally dissapeared, the social changes were complex, but there's still a canarian people today. HERE WE ARE!!!!.

I like the song, anyway

[Hoboscouts]

nope you dont know shit

[SJ363]

I love this song :D But the crowd is awful! they are so boring

[supaufo]

Germans

[waterbunnypower]

simple, yet powerful. nice and easy so even i can understand the importance. ^_^

[otyikondo]

Can't have too many of these on here. Pure class.

"I spent years writing a history PhD, and he says it all in less than 3 minutes..."

How true, how true. It's a talent, no doubt about it.

[relfy0318]

lmao go george lovel! geo 101 sucks though

[Monfri]

My human geography prof showed the GPHY 101 class this. It's an awesome song.

[criasdaniel]

haha im writing about this song in my english class on the gymnasium

[demonliberal]

I love this man.

I spent years writing a history PhD, and he says it all in less that 3 minutes...

[milwaukeeindymedia]

Very good point!

[ckad79]

This is probably - in my opinion - one of the greatest songs of all time and I've been a huge fan of Randy's stuff for years and just recently spotted this on "Bad Love", an album that's rarely listened to.

[Hoboscouts]

i agree its one of the greatest

[theoriginalbadbob]

@ckad79 Rarely listened to? I've been listening to "Bad Love" since it was released in '99. It's one of the best albums, by anybody, in history. "Shame, Shame, Shame."

[johnnyribcage]

@ckad79 Hey, it's not rarely listened to by me! I love that album! :)

[jaybahadur]

good post!

i've been looking for this song forever

[Grisostomo06]

I've waited for over a year to see this great Randy Newman song. I love it.

Thanks for posting it.
