  • Their lyrics and antics are silly and full of innuendo, but they are so god damn talented and downright FUNKY! One of the best bands out there.

  • In a word ....GROOVY. Glad to see old school funk return.

  • Way to to rip off "the Mummies" who play better rock n roll than this generic funk.....

  • Good GOD that sax solo had so much stank to it! I just love it, maybe they are not a traditional funk band...I think they are more of a mash-up of 60's-70's soul, jazz combo, contemporary rock, and funk. You can't deny they are good players, they are all studio musicians. Mummy Ra is a crazy good soloist, and the singers are really good too.

    They are having fun and people like it, stop hatin on them. Its nice to see something not main stream become successful. Let them be.

  • I was watching this on the bus from class and it came to the cowbelt part and i made people turn and stare i was laughing so hard.

  • Thank you bob and tom for introducing me to these mummies

  • I enjoy their music, but most of all,... they are ENTERTAINERS!

  • I can't believe the posts these people put up are dirtier than the songs. Menapausal men or what??

  • Like Bill Champlin says, "The brass kicks ass!"

  • OMG @ 3:40, lol awesome

  • 3 DORKS THAT LIK CIRCUS WEASEL ASS!!

  • im not sure how I felt about that sax solo. I really like his tone and sound, but the solo was kind of dirty to me. idk thats just me. the band itself is still tight as hell

  • THEY STILL SUCK !!! That is not a funk band but a minstrel show.

  • @TheNewsoul2 Than you must not like rock n' roll, or music in general, CAUSE ALMOST EVERY HUGE BIG TIME BAND IS ABOUT SEX!

  • @TheNewsoul2 I agree! there is NOO funk or soul in this.

  • @The8starr

    These maggots think because they have a horn section or play minor 7th that makes them funky, sorry no sale here these guys aren't a funk band. DAG'S "Lovely Jane" is funky as hell the Red Hot Chili Peppers are some funky White Dudes. These idiots are like Lil Wayne or Wacka Flacka but white and a gimmick but no real talent.

  • This is real music!!;D

  • The obvious thing is they're having fun. And they're dam'd good. What a horn section.

  • Great song, but I'd like to throttle the show hosts.

  • haha best bit is the cow belt!

    

  • They may be dead...but their music kicks ass! The 'Grateful Dead' never sounded this 'dead'.

  • No PC. Just a good attitude and Great Musicians... God I love this stuff.

  • Wonderful musicians no matter the "packaging". Tight and musical. No special tricks.

  • I found the talent in music, these guys have it all.

    They had to bring it back from the dead. Plus, these guys play together and have fun.

  • Awesome song, awesome band!

  • I wanna play the cowbelt

  • This music ain't funk on any level, Funk music has a social, musical and sexual context that can't be explained you have to live the music of Funkadelic, Betty Davis, Sly and the Family and Mandrill. AWB had more respect for Black Music than these NASHVILLE studio idiots making a mockery of Funk music and Black Music in general. Even though it's sad that far too many African- Americans have gotten into rap culture this is not an update of Funk but a Saturday Night Fever white boogie crap.

  • @TheNewsoul2 Jaqo Pastorius-white, Brecker Brothers-white, Tower of Power- except for the lead singer and bassist- white, Blood Sweat and Tears- white, Chicago (old version)- white. I myself PLAY in a funk band that is all white and guess what? It's damn good because we're all TRAINED MUSICIANS. COLOR DOESN'T MATTER MAN. I love the black man and what he's done for music, but there is no racial necessity for any style. You don't have to dis other people to be proud of your race. SAY IT LOUD

  • @lyrralt

    Who are you the Mummies manager,Patorious and Brecker Brothers played jazz , TOP, Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tear play rock- oriented R&B and where did I say I hated them because they are white, I said the MUMMIES are a minstrel band out of central casting.and please don't compare this shlock to P-Funk Clinton had a concept. for his music. Just because they play can in time or professionally doesn't make them a FUNK BAND. And I gave props to Average White Band and DAG as examples.

  • @TheNewsoul2 You insinuated that white people can't play funk. As for those we listed "not being funk bands", funk is a style, and some of what they played was funk. (Squib Cakes anyone?) Funk is a style that started in jazz, and moved to other areas. When you say funk, jazz is included. I think you are saying that HCTM aren't Pfunk, and you are absolutely right, but that doesn't make it not funk. Their sound is remarkably similar to some of Bootsy Collins stuff.

  • @lyrralt DID YOU JUST SAY THEY SOUNDED LIKE BOOTSY COLLINS LOLOLOL, I haven't had a good laugh in about 5 years but that was funny. "Funky Little Baby" and "Booty" SOUNDS like nothing Bootsy on his on most unfunky day. Bootsy's songs were CLEVER sexual innuedos set to a funky, sexual groove and beliveable HCTM songs sound more like Lil Wayne and T-Pain with all the creativity of a soiled tampon. I said those WHITE GUYS / black member CAN'T PLAY FUNK !! you must be friends with them.

  • @TheNewsoul2 What seems to be so cool to me about HCTM is they play well, obviously enjoy the music they play, and they enjoy performing. Comparing them to funk giants is unfair. And jazz encompasses so many different styles from funk to rock to blues, it is unfair to say what is solely "jazz" or solely "funk." A major difference in T-Pain or Lil Wayne and HCTM is that the Mummies have obvious skill and produce music that takes effort. To judge their creativity is odd since you have no insight.

  • I've seen then with out the make up when I worked for the casino

  • They're real, real good, but do they really need the mummy costumes?

  • Mummies rule Earth

  • Love this band.

  • Consummate playin , LOVE the COW BELT!!

  • Can't imagine what these guys will come up with next! These guys are too much not to love.

  • i wonder which one is more experienced?? at point 4:00 to 4:09 hmmm wouldn't i love to find out ;)

  • I am still in mourning, the suckass radio station 106.5 here in north carolina dropped the bob and tom show last year, which was like losing an old friend, whom without the bob and tom i never would have heard of these guys. So everyone who reads this and loves bob and tom, send clear chanel radio and 106.5 the end in charlotte, nc, an email or phone message and let them know how much they blow for canning the show and maybe enough hate mail will convince them to bring back the show!!!

  • @7153eric Clear Channel=Monopolizing Assholes!

  • 2 ppl arre funky littloe babys

  • too funny...love these guy!!!

  • 2 people dont know how to be FUNKY!

  • Totally Mummirific!

  • Come Here Boy, Come hither, Come hither... 4:09

  • These guys are as much a comedic act as they are musicians. Though their musical talent is far superior.

  • As a professional musician I have to applaud how good these guys are. Pop music is raping the general idea of "music". These guys restore my faith that there are people out there that want to play real music. I play them as an example to my music students to show that music can be very very good and fun.

  • @lyrralt

    By insulting the whole genre of Funk music and don't use Parilament as an example because their humor was like Frank Zappa tongue in cheek this band is nothing but a white minstrel show a la Amos and Andy. DAG and Average White had more respect for classic Black Music than these country idiots

  • @TheNewsoul2 I don't know why you think you are the god and adjudicator of all funk music. I'm also guessing that the black guy in the band might take offense to being called a white minstrel. I'm not going to get into an argument with you about what qualifies as classic or quality black music. Funk is a genre that can't be claimed by one race. One of the greatest funk artists of all time was a white guy, Michael brecker. However you can't compare him to James Brown, they're too different.

  • @lyrralt

    I know what's Funk Music and this nothing but a minstrel show and there were Blacks who lovingly partiicipated in those racial stereotypes. And now I going to hear "I am Black" like I can't have a negative opinion of this band. Lyrically and musically they are no different than Lil Wayne or T-PAIN in their musical stylings, the only thing they do is play instruments. And that crap that" music has no color' I will believe that when they sign quality Black music in all genres .

  • @lyrralt

    And I never said I was the GOD of what constitutes FUNK MUSIC, just as a fan and listener for nearly 40 years of this genre in all it's forms, but if you want to defend your boys/Friends for their lack of groove and feel that's okay by me. NOW YOU ARE GOING TO CALL ME A BLACK RACIST for not being impressed that a majority White faux Funk with a Black Guy can't cut the muster.

  • @TheNewsoul2 I don't care that these comments are a month old and that reviving old arguments is considered bad taste. You are an idiot. I don't care to argue with you, and nicely try to explain things to you like these other people. I just want you to know that deep down to the very core of my soul. I hate you for being so stupid.

  • @SenorTeco

    They suck and FUCK YOU !!!

  • @TheNewsoul2 You're a fucking retard who doesn't know shit about music.

  • @SenorTeco

    And you do stupid white/spic mother fucka, that white band sucks ass !!! You don't like what I said, it's called freedom of speech last time I heard we still live in America. That band is about as funky as a constipated bowel movement. SO FUCK YOU AND THE MORAL HORSE YOU RODE IN ON LECTURING ME.

  • @TheNewsoul2 You're a stupid ass ignorant racist who insults good musicians because you have no talents, There 10 times more funky than you, I didn't ride in on any moral horse I came in making fun of you for being retarded, I also haven't lectured you I've called you an idiot.

  • @SenorTeco

    Yes I am a racist against white boys like you who couldn't or don't know what FUNK is if their mother was there dancing to it. Now go eat a taco and go fuck yourself, THEY SUCK and sound like redneck hillbillies.

  • @TheNewsoul2 THEY ARE NOT A FUNK BAND. They play some funk music, this song is in the style know as funk, Redneck Hillbillies play banjo. You're retarded.

  • @SenorTeco

    What are you a friend of the band and that song is about as funky as a soiled tampon laid on the street. You don't know what FUNK is as a genre of music, And somebody told if I wanted to listen to a good R&B/Funk Band listen to these guys. He was white of course and I should have known better, these guys sound like Nashville studio guys trying to play this music very badly. And this is about as creative as Lil Wayne or T- Pain music which also sucks.

  • @TheNewsoul2 I don't know anyone in the band I just know good music. R&B sucks ass. Learn to English ass master.

  • @SenorTeco

    And your'e a pussy boy, quit responding to me with your untalented- ass band. You don't know shit about music and you have bad taste by the way.

  • @TheNewsoul2 I'm sure that you know there are different types of funk, and not everyone is going to fit the stereotype. They are obviously not JUST a funk band, they have a lot of influences from other genres. To say they are not good musicians is just rude, they are all studio recording artists and professional musicians. I am pretty sure they have more creativity than lil wayne, just because they are singing about sex that makes them uncreative? Like 80% of all music is about sex or love...

  • @TheNewsoul2 I don't think you need to bring race into this because that really has nothing to do with how well someone can play funk or jazz. The bottom line is, they are playing music and having fun, just let them be. They have awesome soloists and put on a great show. Watch some other videos the Bari player is also a good soloist and is WHITE! :O The tenor player is obviously fantastic, and you can't say he isn't. Maybe you've heard better, but he is still pretty damn good.

  • I saw these guys live a few weeks ago... one of the coolest shows I've seen in a long time. The cowbelt was classic :)

  • Cowbells or cowballs? Back surgery or hernia surgery???

    Love it all!!!!!!

  • "Come here, boy. Come hither, come hither." lol

  • love these guys

  • These cats are the bomb. A breath of fresh life from Mummies?

    Thanks for bringing real music back My utmost respect to y'all.

    You got to be hot in those threads man.

  • I keep imagining someone bringing in a cow belt for their high school band project... "It's a new instrument, I ordered it online, it's patented by this awesome band"

    The teacher would probably make you pick a new project, but their face would definitely be worth it =) I'm seriously considering my old high school a cow belt as soon as they are up for sale.

    Also, good song and artists, can't forget to say that in a comment =)

  • Damn, that's the best instrument ever! =))))

  • these guys are awesome!!

  • damn, get down on that bad sax a PHONE , yeahthatswhatI'mtalkinBOUT

  • ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

  • I talked to java mummy earlier today and he said that they were working on being able to sell the cowbelts they just need to figure out how to mass-produce them.

  • Don't you dare exchange Eddie Mummy for some chick! He's usually out of sight, but he is irreplaceable!!!

    Same with Spaz, he's not in front row, but he's fixed part of the band, and don't you underestimate those two!

  • @PterodactylMK1 hey...im new to these guys...can you tell me who is who according to the vid?

  • @TheGirlWhoGames Oozie Mummy on trumpet and lead vocals (purple top hat), Mummy Cass on lead guitar and lead vocals, Java (pronounced Jay-va) on percussion, Spaz on keyboards, Eddie Mummy on drums, K W Tut on bass (sometimes replaced by Ramses), Midnight Mummy on bari sax (somtimes replaced by The Flu), Teste Verde on trumpet in the back, and Rah on sax.

  • @TheGirlWhoGames mishluvsmummies beat me to it, my apologies. yes, that's basically who they are. :) if you want to know more, go to their homepage herecomethemummies . com

  • Tiffany does the cow-belt better than anyone i've ever seen...
