Holy hell did anyone else see the "Fred: The Show" advertisement at the beginning of the video? Can't believe this kid is going to be on TV now. He's going to turn the whole next generation of boys gay. We're doomed.
Tony Beliveau explained the song's meaning: "It was July 4th of July weekend and I was on a 3 day solo trek out at Yosemite, Hetch Hetchy to be exact, and I remember sitting on top of a mountain, looking out into the sun and the clouds.
I had this really strong feeling of security, peace, and overall serenity. I remember thinking, 'this is where I want to be when I die'. When I came home, I wrote 'Mountain Man' as an overall reflection of that weekend. It's about savoring the best moments, separating yourself from the masses to discover your personal identity, and of course some drunk girl, who hasn't quite figured out what this song really means yet."
this song is about alcoholism and moderation. someone is clearly getting way too hammered and he's comparing the booze that they drink all day every day to the good things they are missing. and he does it with awesome music.
@bigdave74604 If you really want to convince people that you have exceptional taste in music, you should first learn to correct your grammar and spelling.
@kc9756 Not really..it does start out similar in a couple verses but..its def not the same song..this ones alot better...and thats coming from a WS fan...
I could just kick my own arse for not have hearing of this band till this evening..late night radio in Cincy no less....they dont need a new release ..they need a RE-release!!!!
Why do people make dislike jokes? Its like saying the sky is blue. Everyone knows that this is an epic song and anyone who dosen't like it is a freak....
@skillzthegreat1 i am afraid of heights.. and this is one of the best songs ever.... so 43 are wimps who are a afraid of heights! there is a diffrence
@kirst43 people see simularities between the white stripes led zeppling wolfmother and the black keys too i think its annoying that everything has to be compared to them
Mum had this song in the car, she didn't remember the fucking song's name, had to pop in the lyrics "I'm sitting on top of a mountain" and this came up.
Crash Kings are perhaps the only band that originated post 2000 that I actually LIKE. I stumbled upon them by accident a few months ago, and this song is the one that turned me on to them.
OMG!!!! LADY GAGA IS IN THE FEATURED SUGGESTION AGAIN! that makes two rock songs where this has happened, why in the name of god, jesus, and the holy spirit is THAT thing doing there. Definitely not related, and will never be related to anything I watch. Hope youtube fixes the totally screwed up suggestions!
So much pointless arguing Leave the opinions be, you may not think it but they do. Why do you have to start a whole pointless argument? People hear music in their own way. Just enjoy the tunes, not stress over what genre people say it sounds like.
song is the shit... it may have indirectly been written about me and my old lady. So were getting married Aug. 17 2011 and this is gonna be our aisle music. i guess we are some out of this world kinda folks
My name is Beth.L )aka) Ashley) and My ol'man just promised me that this is gonna be the song I walk down the aisle to when we get married in Aug 17 2011 and that my friends is the Fucking shit because, I have the best man in the whole wide fucking world! and we are both nuts! but ain't that the shit?
@GearHead1087 Gross, I hope you dont go around calling everyone that, because everyone has an opinion and its not always going to be your narrow minded one.
@hop2101992 actually the singer does have a jack white kinda quality to him ...and no I'm not smoking crack, pot, oxys, or drinking and am mental illness free.
saw them live in October......they are even BETTER live, if you can imagine that!!!! Kudos to Crash Kings, and i wish them many more years of success and making awesome music!!
@SparklyyMegan all rock spawns from rock n roll which spawns from country music. and this song is about a dumb bitch with a drinkin problem, sounds like a country song to me.
@jziplock Nope. It may have evolved from country music (which I still don't think true), but that doesn't mean it IS country music. And if you called every song which mentions people with drinking problems a country song, then I think country music would very different. Also rock is just a broad category encompassing many different types of music such as hard rock, blues-rock, folk rock, etc. Rock N' Roll is just one the first categories to be rock. So not all rock spawns from rock and roll.
@jziplock actually the beats and combination more relate to that of African beats. Country and rock are prectically the same when it comes to dynamics. African drums.....blues...country...rock

'im sittin of top of a mountain' - a gay man sitting on a penis

'switch back to the peak with a blindfold' - the gay man that is taking it in the butt is blind-folded, and he wants a peek at the (asian)chick
'Straight out on a head bomb oooooh' - the chick gets an orgasm and screams 'ooooooh!!'
