  • Dan Bern fans! Catch Dan Bern’s appearance on Dave’s Gone By, Sat, noon-3pm(ET) 3/12/11 on UNC Radio (uncradio. c0m). He’ll chat about music, religion, touring, his family and more. If you miss the show, hear it in the archives at davesgoneby. c0m.

  • If you change the setting, at the bottom right hand corner, from 360 to 240 it should work. I have asked youtube to restore the lost sound on this, and other videos, but no reply.

  • the sound isn't working for me.

  • Most unheard songwriter....... 

  • @Berty2thirty

    It's annoying when youtube do this as I had permission from Dan Bern to use this.

    Thanks for pointing it out.

  • It ain't braggin' if its true.

  • omg he knew before all of us

  • We love Golf!

  • Yes! Thanks for posting.

  • The most under rated song of the 90's.

  • watch tiger woods mistress caorl funny stuff

  • doesn't this song take on new meaning considering the events of the last week? Dan Bern is great!

  • what events of last week?

  • This guy is super SWEET! .....i'm seriously

  • I saw him live a few years ago! I got to sit on the stage with him!!!

    My childhood hero!

  • i get to see him live on saturday! Hes my childhood hero too!.... but im still a child, well young adult :P

  • man, Dan Bern should be alot bigger than he is :(

  • Good Shit!

  • I just realised i have big balls too. Size of puppies....

  • Wow, you got me good.

  • i like this live version better than the recording

  • Hey Stoner, can we now say it's critically acclaimed? Thanks for your analogy.

  • This song is absolute genius.

    This is a poor rendition of it.

    It's a song that takes a step back from modern life and shows it a mirror. The verse about Madonna is about acheiving life long ambitions too quickly. If you do so, you'll end up with nothing to look forward to, and no direction in life thereafter...

    And the verse about girls? I'm sure most can relate...

    A brilliant splicing of comedy and modern satire.

  • i like this rendition. i think its a lot better than the recorded version

  • i'm pretty sure that you're reading too much into the song....

    and i'm pretty sure you're a wanker

  • Think of me what ever the hell you like.

    At the end of the day, you're only saying it because you're hidden behind your little computer screen, safe from the world outside.

    I feel sorry for people like you. People with no balls who get satisfaction from slagging people off for their opinions or interpretations over the net.

    It's pathetic. Get out of the house once in a while.

  • TOTALLY PWNED

  • To be fair, he 'pwned' himself.

  • you suck lol i think any1 who takes the time to type that up over youtube, knowing ull never knowlingly see this kid in your life, is one big pussy hiding behind a computer screen.

  • ...But you know fuck all.

    So I know not to listen to you.

    The difference between you and I is that I'd say all this to your pathetic little faces if I needed to. Lucky for you, you live the other side of the Atlantic to me makes it very easy for you to hide.

    Now stop proving your own point AND mine and shut up.

  • Ok, perhaps this version isn't poor, but in my humble opinion, it's not his best...

    ...Classic nonetheless.

  • yeah, you obviously don't understand music, or comedy either... how sad...

  • lol, you're boring kid with nothing better to do than insult what you don't comprehend, and your SWING is what's "garbage". tell your parents i said to quit wasting their money on your golf-lessons and buy you a sense of humor instead.... :)

  • this is one of the most brilliant songs by one of the most brilliant modern poets, thanks for posting!

  • This song is retarded genius. Especially the Madonna verse.

  • I'm the only one Dan's listener from listener from Russia.(seriously)

    The lyrics are damn funny, and i have almost all of his albums.

    btw, has anyone heard his old song called "RnR will be done to you"?

    peace

  • That's the point. Most of Bern's songs are dead serious, but every so often he puts out a hilarious lyric like this one.

  • That performance was awesome. And it's funny that he changed the words from "big as the state of Kansas" to "big as Scotland". Beautiful.

  • Dan Bern is an excellent lyricist. Im so happy some colleague of mine made me listen to his album Fifty Eggs. I fell in love with his music instantly.

  • hes amazing I wish somebody would post "theres no missing link" though.

  • I'm not sure if he is THE most underrated songwriter, but he is pretty fantastic haha

  • yeah that was a great gig!

  • he's really good friends with my family and i and i agree he is the shit

  • He's from Mt vernon up the road from me :)

  • Oh man, what a good song.Wish I wrote it.

  • Couldn't agree more axss111 - he's just so damn good!

  • most underrated songwriter on the planet

  • I nearly aggree with you. I would choose Michael Penn

    as the most underrated songwriter. Dan Bern is brilliant, though.
