Blind Melon - toes across the floor

[Wintaz2k4]

In the beginning of the video if you look to the right of the man's bed, you see a fire extinguisher. What is the symbolism of him grabbing the vase of water and not the fire extinguisher that's right next to him?

[juanpi333221]

owersome

[cue772]

This one is hard to watch..but its stuck with me for such a long time.

"so now I'll take a little glue...and put together a new glittered room for view"

So many aspects of life is patch job of stuff...intended to cover up whats real with views of whats not. Maybe reality would have kept Shannon Hoon alive. Maybe he would have never really lived otherwise.

There is a lot of implication in this brilliant 3:43 minute song.

[0NEVERHIDE0]

why is this flagged? its one of my favourite blind melon songs

[VoteNixonIn69]

because a lot of people a assholes and report random crap for the hell of it.

[moesgaard]

I hear this song a lot in my head when I wait for sleep.

Such a tragic melody, Very beautiful, but hard to hear :S This song introduced blind melons music to me

R.I.P Shannon

[UeMaStA]

why the fuck did this get flagged that is do dumb

[ethendaniel]

this song makes me kind of sad :(

[cuilo]

yeah... there's something about the melody

[elotropanblanco]

Ths video was released and aired only once on MTV the week he died. Maybe it's the dark circles under his eyes or due the lyrical content that it's flagged:

And if I can't lay my head beside this dog of mine and let that perverted thought burn a hole in my mind...

(but it's like poetry...artistic and not devient)

And if I can't lay my head beside this dog of mine then maybe the hunters dog called god could be my friend in time...

[kmcst8]

Well said, lyrical content. Foreknowledge of impending death whilst still alive, a dead man prescribing his own demise is somewhat unsettling. So much so it's real nature would be unsuitable for minors...

[Stevil6661]

I love the song..i do not get the flag....unsuitable for who.....

[elotropanblanco]

see above

[hoogpah]

fav blind melon song.why is this vid flagged?bizzzzzare.

[Jaiv74]

Did not konw this one... WOW.

[EqualEVH]

i feel sorry for the guy running :P but hey, if blind melon plays another nice song on the way back! it would be ok

[poinoup]

Unsuitable??

Yep....totally. Continue to be brainwashed by the new vids with more sex n violence than all of BM's vids combined.

Now positive thoughts: Best blind melon song ever.

[lfdbam]

totally agree

[VonJost]

I think it's because the song references beastiality...not that I mind

[jonathanbeam]

This song is simply too short. I could listen to it an eternity

[imansky]

Why is this video unsuitable for minors?????

[SlingaSlunga]

Bare man nipples

[jesuseyes2]

lol best video ever

[JohnnyDarko88]

cant get enough of this song

[Wez666]

Great video! I don't know understand why this would be flagged?

Some people are just plain stupid

[blackfireINSANITY]

Agreed.

[YouDolo]

Now I'll just lay my head down beside this God of mine

And let that perverted thought burn a hole in my mind

Oh And if I can't lay my head beside this God of mine

Oh then Maybe the Hunter's dog called God

Could be my friend in time

[braddock78]

clipe e musica muito foda!

[AntonaciousSunspot]

that was intense

[inforammer]

He's trippin balls man!

[TurdFerguson98]

Lol, his bed catches on fire? I noticed in the description you put "like these killers shouldn't kill", I think it's "Like all these killers should be killed." Thanks for posting this.

[pajdash08]

i always loved that song, but the video is plain stupid.

[Hazardz41]

your a dick, you don't know good artwork even if it slapped you in the face.

BOOMDIGGIDY!

[jdeschaine9]

your a loser, you dont know good music..or videos, its a video of a person tripping...obviously. i love blind melon, great video. peace

[vanesupersonik]

listening to this music and watch this video makes me see how stupid is the music of today, i miss shannon hoon and all those awesome years of music were every band used to had his own style and personality.

[anarkia1ces]

This is one of the best videos ever.

[jonnybergins]

what nub flagged it?? wtf man..

[SteffOrmond]

yeah, who the hell flagged this and y? :( lol

[Solaces96]

kool song.. great lyrics.. mellow me down to the brink of dreamlike sanity. SYLVESTER OLVEDA

[samigurl]

now tell me why am to lie, if i'm holdin firm and feel the right to lie beside this dog of mine???

[tonberryknife]

why do i have to confirm im over 18 to watch this its not surprising its only a minority of us under 18s have a decent taste in music if the mans making good music more difficult to access for some reason

[macrofobico]

i miss shannon i listen the soup album since 95 every day amazing album

[vacamike]

you gotta be kidding me... that is my favorite thing to do EVERY day

[5teller]

nicee videoo

[adamnoso]

RIP shannon hoon. still miss you!

[staceyandpiper]

Whoever flagged this should be shot! This is an awesome video...complete genius. I miss the 90's.:(

[RAMV1]

[elvanirvana]

I was thinking the same, wtf? this video is excllent... the song too, and the band is just wonderful!

what a fucker the person who flagged it

ELVA :)

[AftermarketX]

Love this video don't like the star guy Shannon is much hotter!

[neutralious]

whoever flagged this..............

[tmoya420]

who in the hell flagged this video?

[Nebula1994]

i just love this song!!

is one of my favourites of Soup

and the video is really funny

but its sad to know that this video was made days before the death of Shannon

[hippymafia]

the finale from letters to a porcupine...

[musicisloud]

every time i watch this i forget that it takes him 4 minutes to run like 10 feet

[WickedAle1776]

I love Blind Melon but this video sucks

[gERaxERahERa]

can anyone explain why is this flagged?? anyway i really really really miss blind melon, one of my all-time favourites, brings me good times

[mayclark]

i love this video!! I remeber that I always wanted 2 record this vid when it was on mtv, n I never got it from the star lol, i love this video!!!!

[bluesfanlenny]

I never did see this video and only enjoyed this on cd for years!! I agree, this makes no sense, thats why I love Blind Melon!! Love the Toes across the floor (2:07) :)

[67annorexorcist94]

Before I got the CD, I thought the lyrics were "I scream like toes across the floor"

I kind of like my lyric better, but I guess it doesn't really make sense.

[hanban12]

haha

[Redmeddle]

Yeah why is it flagged? There is no reason. Just an annoying character

[WickedAle1776]

character ??? what word is that?

[Redmeddle]

Its been a while, but I think that I mean't an annoying person on here flagged it. Or were you wondering what the word mean't?

[pamgm2000]

Too funny...Is that a fire extinguisher next to the bed?

[Aethersson]

Hah, on the right side? Certainly looks like it.

[marcos000]

Yes! haha, I havn't noticed thanx :-p

[negativetrend]

Why the hell is this tagged as innapropropriate?

[marcos000]

beats me. I was wondering if we could "un-tag" it by popular demand...

[dontgimmenolip10477]

to all the melon fans, check this out:

the four surviving Blind Melon members reunited in the summer of 2006, with Amarillo, TX native Travis Warren taking Hoon's spot behind the mic. The group plans on recording a new album for release in 2007, which will also be supported by a tour (the group's first since 1995).

[mermaidJudi]

Wow, it's great to hear that!! They shouldn't have waited so long. But I'm glad that they've finally decided it was Time!!!

[KIMVANDORT]

I'm so sorry that Shannon died, I can still hardly believe it. What a great song- what a beautiful and talented man! Great band, too.

[sebextreme]

exelente video blind melon a sido uno de mis grupos favoritos desde que tenia 4 a:os

[jackhorrors]

AMAZING

one of my favorite vidoes by melon.

[stephyadele]

I love this band song and video. It's halarious the supper slow mo of this guy so intent on putting out this fire and the expressions on his face with his crazy hair. I think it's fabu, and then then the whole ordeal ends but then a fire starts on the bed, which makes no sense, I LOVE IT.

[rodeck1]

Great video.Awesome song.Haven't seen or heard it for a few years.Why do my favorite rock stars die so young?

[cheatcommandos14]

I think Shannon looked cooler back in the Self Titled days with longer hair...

R.I.P.

[FCUTT]

This GUy was so amazing. I wish he was still around. maybe in the next life.

[tattynov]

their songs always made my soul breathing - and still do...

[agacinco]

bah-huh-ah

[helenodonoghue]

God I love them.

[hifikissat]

Great video and the song is the best ever made!!!Really miss Shannon Hoon, The great artist left this planet way too early...

[Jaymac16]

Love this song, love this band....but I think everyone should know that it's "doesn't anybody feel that all these killers should be killed" Not what this guy has up there...at least know the lyrics man

[slikpkorn]

It would be like AC-DC when Bon Scott Died They wouldn't sound the same

[TaipeiFucks]

I love the guitars in this song..

Wonder what Blind Melon sounds like nowadays with a new singer..Will be interesting.

[Christiantheory]

the band is incredible, shannon (r.i.p.), the song is great, and de video is awsome too, I think its a great video, I mean just a guy running to put out a tiny fire in his house makes get stuck to de screen for about 4 minutes, well the song helps a lto also.

[ScorpioOx]

Intense! loved it then love it now.

[Joshqu]

This video really made me pay attention somehow.I thought is was pretty good.

[estupidafregona]

el video esta bueno, pero es como un sketch comico, no es un video que retrate la personalidad o imagen de la banda. pero bueno, que hagan lo que quieran. el video esta en el rom de nico.

Max.

[sikkez]

If you're going to post a video, you should at least know the first 2 lines of the song. :)

[vitamincory]

he's got such a junkie face, too bad he had to overdose

[Freak0fNirvana]

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee Nirvana and Blind Melon, my two favorite bands EVER!

[nirvanafreak666]

shannon hoon is so sexy!

[prs82]

I'll have to disagree with you burgerflipper. Great song, but the video is probably the worst I've ever seen. Horrible concept.

[Burgerflipp]

Great band;they weren't as appreciated as they should have been.One of the best videos ever made;simple concept,original and grabs your attention.Thanks for

posting it.

[monserga79]

i agree...this video was directed by the same guy who made the just (radiohead) and scientist (coldplay) videos, he certainly likes twist endings

[TheTrueFear]

whoever flagged this should be eaten by dogs

[fasra]

I've been surching this video for such a long,the MTV Brazil, passed this clip just a feel times when they was on the top. I missing this band.

[kierancottrell]

And that video was flagged for what reason?

[alucardio]

totally agree with that.. why did he had to die :(

[ribboncandy]

i remember crying my eyes out the day i heard. i love this song.

[0Grist0]

yeah. well, its all a matter of opinion, but failure is, and forever will be my favorit band of the 90's. but blind melon is deffenetly a close 2nd. well, then smashing pumpkins... and rhcp.... wow, music was allot better then
