  • this song makes my butt tickle

  • loved hearing this song from time to time for many years but this is the first time i looked it up...dont know its meaning but i love what its leaning towards. dave is beautiful babey

  • Stupid ads are keeping me from wanting to listen to this damn playlist. Fuck YouTube.

  • @berkleychiphi haha omg what dumb people, get a life weirdo

  • 1:28 That family goes to my church! Haha they showed the video sunday.

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • Only 1m views???

  • This was the song that got me into DMB. Now I have about 15 of their songs. Great band!

  • @DoubleR2591 have you heard ants marching dude?? Now that song is awesome man!

  • @extrachromosome221 I have, and I bought that song. But before I didn't really care for DMB, but they're a great band. Crash Inot Me is awesome as well

  • @DoubleR2591 Almost beats my collection, I've only got 756.

  • @Jerkison14 Haha, nice. You must be a hardcore Dave Matthews fan

  • RON PAUL 2012!!!

  • I can't get over this band. I mean I move away from thme for a while, but they always end up being one of the top played bands on my iPod. He does some serious poetic justice.

  • haha you didnt offend me. and yea i totally get what youre saying. outro and intro are both great. they both resonate with me in two totally different ways.. but then again thats exactly why i love dave matthews.wish more people my age would listen to him. i would do anything to have a group of freinds who listen to this. cause its not just music its real substance and its epic sounding enough to have two strangers sharing a conversation about it. DAVE MATTHEWS FOR LIFE!!!!

  • 1:03 went to school there

  • if the world was ending and I had one choice of a song to listen to I would say this song is my number 1 choice:)

  • Hands down one of the greatest songs ever. Usually after so many plays I'll get bored with a particular song but I've been listening to this one for several years and I love it just as much today as I did the first time I heard it.

  • These guys are some badass musicians. I love the jam at the end.

  • I always thought this song was about 9/11 and how we have to remember what makes this country one of the greatest if not the greatest countries to live in. Was I wrong? Anyway, great song. Love DMB.

  • @esw02161 For me it's definitely about a girl.

  • This is a really good song. And the message is very relevant. The baby in this song, IMHO, is the extremely young USA. I believe this song is about the destruction of the freedom and ideals our country was founded on.

  • he is so nice

  • my dad grew up with the manager of the dave matthews band they are still best freinds

  • @Patriotsfan340 ha my uncle had a "band" with dave matthews AND basically made him famous ^.^

  • i also have his autograph lolz

  • my uncle, Mark Roebuck introduced the world to Dave Mathews. true story. they were great friends awhile back and mark and him were producing music together! Mark had dave perform one night at a club and the rest is history ^~^ uncle mark and dave sometimes still hang out together when he is in their town!!

  • @kitten123t Lair!

  • @hayato1ful ehem, liar* is how it's spelled and LOOK IT MARK ROEBUCK. my fucking AMAZING uncle. don't fuck around with me bitch. this is LEGIT. learn how to SPELL! dumbfuck..

  • @hayato1ful oh yeah AND i have his autograph in a FUCKIN FRAME from my uncle for me! so FUCK OFF

  • wish i knew who the woman @ 2:27-2:28 is.. she is a rare quality woman..

  • American Overweight Baby?

  • you could still make lemonade taste like a Summer day....

  • i hate dmb posers that say they like this song and when I ask them about the intro, and they're like huh?....i think the intro is the meat and potatoes of this song, i simply love dave and his band...this isnt my favorite song, probably top 25.

  • @berkleychiphi So true. I'm trying to find an mp3 of this and the intro combined into 1 track but no luck so far.

  • @maalbe987

    i been looking all over and i cant find one either....dont hate me but my favorite song is eh hee

  • @berkleychiphi Actually, in the time since that last comment, I found a free software that can merge mp3s. download(dot)cnet(dot)com(slas­h)Merge(dash)MP3(slash)3000(da­sh)2169_4(dash)10410936(dot)ht­ml

  • @berkleychiphi im a die hard dmb fan and i disagree with u. the outro is the meat and potatoes of this song. intro is amazing no doubt. outro is where its at

  • @TheKeeblerelff

    see, its hard to say, because the intro is rarely ever used before the outro of american baby, its usually an intro for another song, just to get vibe and emotion going in the crowd, but when placed exactly before the outro, i feel its gets the crowd pumped up so much as it climaxes and its use of like 12 words is amazing....i hope i dont offend you...so please keep listening to dmb...cant wait for the new album this year

  • @berkleychiphi Most music lovers don't read or even care to interpret between the lyrics or rhythms. Its great to know that the intro is the meat of this song for you. Others may not agree, for them it could be a diff part of the song that catch's their ear. I love music for the entire experience. lyrics,Rhythm,Persona, etc. I also dont agree with the way u just come out and say "DMB POSERS" like your their only fan with one way of reading their Music.

  • Thumbs up if you see an "erection" at 0:41

  • Comment removed

  • You guys should check out the Fenway Park version of this..I think its Live Trax 6

  • love how the song starts off:)

  • This is the only song I really listen to by them.I'd probably discover more good songs if I explored their albums but I'm lazy.:p

  • One of the first songs i dedicated to my beautiful baby, ah Señor Matthews you always have the right words to say.

  • all of these songs are soul lifting. this is the most intrisit music ive ever heard

  • I wish i could see Dave live

  • like who can actually dislike this song?

  • This song is totally soul lifting..

  • What a great band, been a fan 4 15+ years never seen em live, still on the list of too doos, but i always makes me feel better when i pop in DMD, no matter how bad a day im having.

  • i love u dave:)

  • why is the black lady riding the train why not in a car lots of African american are very wealthy..

  • @TheEliteSoldier11 Why do you make it sound racist?

  • @TheEliteSoldier11 In some cities riding a trian is faster, no trafffic jams

  • @TheEliteSoldier11 lots of very wealthy people ride the train.

  • @Radinati0n...if you have a bucket list, seeing them live should be on it.

  • Still love this song!

  • carter is a fucking pimp

  • I fucking HATE ADS!!!

  • I've been a DMB fan since 1992 when I first heard Under The Table & Dreaming. I missed them live for the first time this past year ONLY because they didn't "officially" tour. It was a fun run of almost 20 years seeing them live when they came to my town. I probably spent upwards of $3,000 buying tickets for family & friends to come with me...and I...WOULDN'T...TRADE...ONE...P­ENNY for the memories made at those shows. Thanks to DMB and The Warehouse for keeping me a fan.

  • This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

  • He is such trash its ridiculous i thought id give him a chance because some of my friends are huge fans, but he is so bad....

  • @unclepic1 are you fucking kidding me? I can't even contemplate someone not liking dave matthews.... you know what in all fairness, it takes a little time to get into him. Try to appreciate the music and when your ready you'll here the true genius

  • @unclepic1 wrong!

  • @unclepic1 GTFO.....'nuff said.

  • @unclepic1 aww sorry to hear that.Why?=/

  • @unclepic1 Are there any specific traits or is it just his overall vibe? Also, this is one of his more poppy songs, if that's the area of your complaint.

  • @maalbe987 well to be honest i dont know however i have certainly come to understand and him and respect him more... hey you never know maybe one day ill be a fan one day

  • @unclepic1 That's fine. I have no problem with differing opinions as long as it's not stuff like "HURR DURR DAVE'S A FAG & U SHUD ALL FEEL BAD 4 LIKIN HIM!!!!". Believe me, those kinds of comments exist.

  • love love

  • great video! 

  • This band rocks my world.

  • Live Trax 6 has an awesome version of this song, check it out!

  • this is my favorite song by him

  • This is a deep cut from down in the boneyard.

  • Amazing how all the geniuses around the world have a YouTube account..

  • piss out my ass

  • i like how at one point dave is standing in the back, just shows its about the band not about the singer. Plus we all love leroi in the front :)

  • Under rated song.

  • 1:14 What is that instrument?

  • @TheVenquilitrist

    i hope this is a joke, its a violin.

  • @OpenCasket19

    i hope this is a joke, its a fiddle

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @katrinabalentine ya he play's violin too but this is an electric fiddle.

  • @drumforlife720 just so you know, its all a violin. a fiddle is just another name when its played in a certain style

  • @rurounigoku just so you know you're wrong... The bridge of a fiddle is flatter than a violins. It makes it easier to play more strings at once for proper fiddle tunes. If i play the drums with wooden spoons are they called airplanes? NO... I would do your research before being so condescending.

  • @drumforlife720 im not being condescending, its a fact. on the wikipedia article for "fiddle," heres the first paragraph: "The term fiddle may refer to any bowed string musical instrument, most often the violin.[1] It is also a colloquial term for the instrument used by players in all genres, including classical music. Fiddle playing, or fiddling, refers to various styles of music."

  • @rurounigoku If my home made coffee taste like starbucks i'm referring the taste to starbucks. That website lets people edit the page they are on. I'm sorry you feel so strong about this but You are wrong and I'm certainly not gonna sit here and argue with someone so ignorant like you about a fiddle and a violin.. IF they were the same thing, they would be called the same thing!!! I have been playing music since I was 4 years old (im21now) and trust me when I say. They are in fact different.

  • @drumforlife720 lol its just a different style. i doubt that the entire site is wrong, sure there can be discrepancies, but wikipedia is also checked for accuracy and citations. and if you search "electric fiddle," it redirects you to electric violin

  • @rurounigoku ok

  • @TheVenquilitrist it's called an electric violin. Same as violin but electric!!

  • DMB reminds me of my childhood. my dad always used to play them, and now like 16 years later... i can't get enough !

  • godamn carter. fuckin amazing band.

  • Was never a big fan of this song until I heard the one on Fenway Park

  • Name of the Bass Player???

    

  • @publix8 stefan lessard

  • @deviantcock no you dumb*ss its about being who you are, aka stay who you are and dont change for anyone someone will appreciate you!

  • This song is dedicated to the 30 soldiers who lost there life last week in afghanistan. Thank you for making this country so great. You will be missed

  • geeeeez we get it. im american they are american. who ever directed this video needs to seriously get off the social stigma train. the best part of the vid was like the last twenty secs, this song is about women right? why do i need to see me and my coworkers staring down the camera, WTF WHY? stay beautiful baby, yes could mean stay pretty USA and diversified, but this vid was lost!

  • @deviantcock Yeah, so you aren't getting it. It's called personification. Typically, if a songwriter is worth a crap, their words aren't punch-you-in-the-face obvious. It's about America, plain and simple, and how the nation had seemingly lost its way leading up to and certainly after 9/11. Instead of the melting pot we used to be, a vocal minority have been trying to squeeze out the diversity that has made this nation great.

  • @deviantcock pipe down whiner. its just a video. not the meaning of life.

  • @deviantcock wow, dude. ur perveted and screwed up. you dont deserve to listen to dave

  • buy American baby!

  • SourRemonMusic

     Check it

  • SourRemonMusic

    

  • You don't have to break it down to a seminar, I think the song is more about inclusion and how this country is made up of many types of people. Very different people at that. Embrace it, learn about it but don't hate it.

  • Cal!

  • wow i love dave matthews band so fucking much!

  • i am proud to be a american and made a beautiful black and white little baby he the future

  • 3:05 to 3:49 jamming

  • I'm proud to be an american and an african american. thanks to this song.

  • GOSH! After two years, it still only shows my views!!!

  • This song should be used in an anti-outsourcing commercial. Our products should stay "American, baby."

  • usa baby!!!

  • I hope everyone in the world stays beautiful and be an American Baby.

  • I knew that was Dave Matthews in Just Go With It!!!!

  • what an incredibly beautiful song.....

  • makes me proud to be an "american baby" :) Happy 4th of July everybody

  • America is still the land of oppertunities, and those who disagree look how many people come here hoping to be citizens.

  • HAPPY FORUTH OF JULYYYY

  • I think all these Larry The Cable Guy people commenting aren't really getting the whole bitter sweet connotation going on in the song.

  • dave cut the shit and marry me now

  • @Acersecomic1.... no Dave... pick me pick me lol

  • I dont care why it was made but i just ADORE this song

  • 7/4/1776

  • AMERICA!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love you America. 

  • YEAH AMERICA NUMBER ONE FOREVER!!!!! YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT GTFO!!!!!!!

  • nobody's laughing now? Hold on? 2.3 days? You didn't come, our way is lost, forever. I tried so hard. Forgive me. I needed you.

  • The only way America will remain beautiful will be when we throw out every single elected official from top to bottom and start acting like responsible adults.

  • @vaportrails44 AMEN

  • Amazimg drums at the end!!!!! Carter Beauford on the drums, Carter Beauford on the drums, Carter Beauford on the drums!!!!!!

  • hey can somone interpet this song for me? I know what i think about it but what about you guys? Also does anyone know what or who dave wrote this song for?

  • @clarelovesdumb its a violin, except hes just playin it with his fingers instead of with a bow

  • I love this song!

  • what's the little black instrument the guy with the dreadlocks is playing? it looks like an black electric ukeleylee haha

  • One of the best songs ever!

  • wtf. 666 likes and 6 dislikes.... is that normal or is it because this Saturday is the Apocalypse?

  • @NadiaVision Well, I dn't know are you still alive?

  • We need to get the video to a million views. It's so close, but it's terrible that it isn't there yet.

    Post the link everywhere!

  • Stay beautiful Baby! I hope you stay American Baby! USA! preach it dave

  • The only word that can describe the awesomness of this song....AMERICA!

  • I love that black drummer, he's lookin' baws with them sunglasses ^.^

  • yes but the real question is why can't you spell "proud"?

    awesome song

  • soundtrack of whats going on right now.. nice video

  • This song has a whole new meaning now to me after today's events!

  • Comment removed

  • Such a great song! By the way everyone, Dave is a liberal, and the majority of the messages in his work come from a liberal point of view. Maybe you guys are politically confused, but if you enjoy Dave music and the messages they send out, then you are most likely a liberal too.

  • @MyRegularguy i just breathe.

  • Shit guys this is YOUTUBE not some press conference to solve the world's problems. Write a letter to your local state representative if you're unhappy enough with the world to have to go on YouTube and complain about it. ANYWAY, I love this song. It reminds me of summer, like a lot of other people said. Summer 2011 will be great! :)

  • @youjerkmuffin more people shoudl say stuff like that ^

  • I got the most beautiful woman in the world to fall in love with me because of this song. Its a shame it didnt last forever, I tear up everytime I hear it.

  • HAHA carter rollin with shades and a neck beard!

  • I love Dave Matthews... ALOT <333

  • Holy Shit Guys, Just Listen To The Music

  • i love how the jacked black guy is playing the smallest instrument

  • @blindeagle93 And has the most memorable part.

  • lol, I always associate Dave to be a liberal tree hugger himself...am I loving them for all the wrong reasons...haha. No really Dave gives the best concerts I love his music.

  • Their only tolerable song.
