If he took the song seriously, it would be a good song; but because it is a satire about the homeless, it is just tasteless. The satire makes is a hipster bar act.
If Bobby Conn were a music industry suck-ass kowtowing to a shite big label, and somehow managed to get this one pushed past the hyperproducers unscathed, it would have been a major hit.
People either love Bobby Conn or they hate him...they either 'get it' or don't. I think he's brilliant and the music is special....really I do. Very collectable albums.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i don't hate them cuz of the fans only, yeah they are gay but the music sucks also
yeah greenday has lasted but they havn't progressed very much. they still sound the same and sing about the same things just in different words. yeah we know the government sucks you don't have to make 20 songs about it. they make those songs so they get on the radio and people are like wow this band knows whats going on cuz they are singing about exactly waht i think. well no shit anyone can do that
how can u say greenday sucks they have a giant fan base and theyve been big for 22 years, how many bands have actually done that, RHCP the beatles, the stones, and the who, not many others. true greenday sold out, but they deffinitly dont suck
cuz all the ppl i know who like green day suck. and how many bands can do that? the grateful dead were around for 30 years with out stoping. the only time they would stop touring and playin music was when someone in the band died and they took like a mounth break. phish has a huge fan base and they have been around for over 20 years and alot of other bands. allman brothers widespread panic....
you cant say a band sucks because you dont like the people who are fans, and there is no doubt the classic rock era was one of the best, but very few pop bands can last/progress like greenday has
You're right Bobby Conn...You are just a dreamer and a self made man. Oh, yeah....and a self made retard and are only worth being on YouTube and nothing more! And this video is a total rip-off!!!!!!
okay i've seen 400000000 of these things so i finally decided to test one. it doesn't involve people dying or anything but i still wouldn't read it. not bad tho...
1-say a girl or a boys name you want to be with 2 times
this guy reminds me of BECK. ive been to some whack shows in Chicago's speak easy scene and Bobby Conn fits right in with ALT music scenes and underground non mainstream sound. i bet he OD's on coke before getting a record deal.
hmmm... to put it plain and simple: the man is a genius. and dont misunderstand me, im not posting this `cause i wanna provoke some wannabe-musicknowitall-faggot so we can start hurlin` shit at each other anonymously. i just really like bobby conn`s sick and twisted, but deliciously original music and point of view. thats all, thx!
Absolutely brilliant! One of my favourite Bobby Conn songs and a terrific video. This man just gets better and better, imo. Thanks for uploading the clip. :)
Interesting and wondering why people haven't decided to turn Bobby into some cult figure or is he already!? The lyrics have a double meaning or just a straight forward one! but I think perhaps it would have more airplay here if he fitted into a neat box. He doesn't which is why he is appealing in different way.
Watched this on and off since I first watched it here. It's so simple and yet brilliant. Bobby Conn has such presence. The bit at the start where he wears a crown and is on the ship.Reminds me of Tony Curtis when dressed as a woman in the movie 'Some like it hot'. Like the bit about the cardboard throne.
Are you serious? This is the dribble of a self-righteous self-appointed counter-culture hipster. Did you listen to Never gonna get ahead? Another total load of crap... Because you know what, I've gotten ahead saying yes to the man. Bobby Conn sucks, and if I ever see him whilst walking the streets of Chicago I'm going to greet him nicely and then kick him square in the bean-sack.
hey there mistic0017 why don't you have any info or favorite videos? if you hate this i'd like to see what you like. not to judge you but cuz i'm curious. don't hide, be a cyber-man.
Sorry we don't have terrible teeth, and use simple words because you can't figure out how to speak the most retarded language in the world like you Eurofag.
I really get sick of all of the people on youtube that are somehow unable to understand creative satire and subtle sarcasm and begin to attack it. Bobby Conn is among the most diverse and creative satirical musicians still making music, and just because you don't take the time to understand it doesn't mean you have any reason to be a jerk to the people who apreiciate it.
Yep he was really good. Last time i saw him he got very involved with the audience, came down to sing in amongst us and interacted a lot, and he didn't do that this time. That was not quite as good, but the energy was still there, and the quality of the songs is superlative! He played the whole new album (except "punch the sky" and "things") and finished with Cashing objections and baby man. Thoroughly recommended if you get the chance. The new album keeps getting better with every listen too.
I think his debut album is his finest hour and the new album is sadly his weakest. But this song king for a day is one of the best songs he ever done in my opinion. I like bobby best at his most dangerous though. Like no kids and no money and axis 67 part 3. But the new album still shits on most of todays music.
This is fantastic, of course. But I had no idea Bobby Conn had so many illiterate followers. Someone break out the ointment, their knuckles must be sore from dragging along the ground all day. Sry LOL like ic but cant is guy gay orz??!? ROFLMAO!!!1!!!11!
Yeah,I'd agree.Musically interesting but with no real direction.Had some good parts but when you started to get into the rhythm,it's mood changed.Waiting for the hook was like fishing.But who the hell am I to say.I work at (plug)'HOTDOG ON A STICK'.
I didn't know I was a idiot. Thanks for telling me. Just think I could have gone my whole life without knowing I am an idiot. I just thank god for people like you who tell the truth.
