I've loved this song since day one. It never gets boring to me because the lyrics are absolutey brilliant. The 90's were the absolute best. I wish i was in my 20's again!
Yay just found out these guys are playing locally this weekend. God, I could use this so much right now. Long live the 70’s 80’s and 90’s music. The music today sucks (except you Black Keys).
I K R. Everything today is literally edited to 4 seconds 2 seconds 4 seconds 2 seconds 6 seconds 2 seconds 12 seconds 2 seconds repeat for the ENTIRE Marvel Universe.
I also remember when this was brand new. We're getting old. There's now been more time passed between this song and now than there was between this song and The Beatles' first album.
The real question is how did it get that many views and the answer is because of fuckwitted fuckwits like yourself who have no true musical appreciation. Aren't they great - they sound like at least a million other bands.
This band really wasn’t that big for one thing. And this song was not a big hit. I have only ever even heard the first few seconds of it before because it was used in the TV spots for the movie Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The song wasn’t even huge at the time it came out. 😂
Old fart here...was looking through my old CD's the other day and saw the ones from Cracker. Instead of going out and buying a CD player (only have one in my car these days :D) I decided to listen to a few of their songs here to remind me of good times!
This video just screams FUN! I love the way everything just deteriorates at the end. I'd be willing to be that this was done after several takes and they were beyond the point of caring. Great!
I remember going to a pop up show where the played this at a club in San Jose CA in 1992. One of those times when everyone was shocked someone else knew the words to a song only you liked.
GOTTA CRANK THIS ONE UP...EVERY TIME The world needs me rocking you with it with you Oh I can sing alright It needed me singing all 29 years of it PERFORMING IT
I don't know what the world may want, but some words of wisdom could comfort us, think i'll leave that up to someone wiser..... Cause what the world needs now are some true words of wisdom like la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Truer words have never been spoken, esp in with the state of music in 2021!

"...think I'll drive and find a place to be surly."
Easily one of the most Gen X things ever sung.
KR YW satire. dumbass
OMG IS IT?!
ARE YOU SURE???????
HOLY SHIT, I AM SO GLAD YOU TOLD ME.
Have you ever heard "I Hate My Generation"?
Awesome song, check it out.
Now I'm not sure. Was he serious? HAHAHAHA sorry man we're all a dumbass, don't take it personally
@@markvickroy6725 I know it was three years ago but what the hell does KR YW mean?
only they'd be driving a 4 cylinder
I miss growing up in the 90's. We had no idea how good we truly had it.
2022 and the shit's still getting it done!
Take me back to the 90s please. Thank you.
This shit will get it done for eternity!
Yes, indeed.
This entire album was from start to finish a monster all time classic every song on it is GREAT ⚡️Cracker Brand Kerosene
Classic song. Cracker is under-rated for sure.
what the world needs now is more kick ass songs like this with great hooks. we need it now!
David Lowery is an extraordinary song writer. He’s still writing music, it’s just as good now as it was back then.
proof that if your song is killer you don’t need to spend money on a music video.
This songs just jams...hard to not be a bit happier when this comes on. Play it loud, sing louder with it, and even I can be happy for four minutes.
I hadn't heard this song in at least 20 years... i miss the 90s so f***ing much.
I've loved this song since day one. It never gets boring to me because the lyrics are absolutey brilliant. The 90's were the absolute best. I wish i was in my 20's again!
I don’t listen to Cracker often but when I do, so do the neighbors!
Yay just found out these guys are playing locally this weekend. God, I could use this so much right now. Long live the 70’s 80’s and 90’s music. The music today sucks (except you Black Keys).
What the world needs now is for music to go back to the way it was in the 1980s and 1990s.
Amen to that
I know. Now music is so entertainment and the best PRs.
David so you're not a belieber?
David I agree, whether punk, grunge, or ska... all the playlists I search up are from the 90's
Back in the 1990s, there were some really smart people writing good rock songs , we need to hear that side of music again
This song reminds me of my youth. It's one of them songs I can listen to and think back to what it was like around that time.
I want the 90's Back!
Absolutely brilliant shit.....then, & maybe, even more so now.....
We DEFINITELY need teen angst in music today.
+Mrsteisag2 One Direction?
Haha I think it'd be an interesting marketing ploy with that. You can never go wrong with a little teen angst.
Love Johnny's tone! Great song! Damn I'm old!
judging by the shambles the world now finds itself in, this song encapsulates it all...re-release it! great.
Liberals screwed us all.
I don't know what my neighbors may need, but loud 90s music sounds like a start to me.
Hi I recommend an indie rock Song Called 'the bond Villain' by Robert Nix
Such a tremendous song... brings back some outstanding memories.
haha, that can only mean ONE thing. Don't worry playa, we hear ya!
What a debut song! Watching this on the Letterman Show, amazing!
I heard this in my high school votech class in 92. Still so cool.
This song is terrific. And what a great video. This is timeless.
This video is if every member of weezer took a different drug then tried to recreate the Undone (the sweater song) video
Except Teen Angst pre-dates that Weezer song.
How’s Mista doing
My favorite song of the 90's,
Never knew about this band and i am a 90s music freak, i love this tune already!
I freekin love this one cam, one shot, steadily increasing madness video.
....the more I watch it, the funnier it gets:)

@@bunnycarlos1 the word "literally" was literally not necessary in the sentence.
I would love to be a teenager in the 90's but I was born in 1991.. Still love the music of that decade!!! is the only one I listen!
Just an amazing song...love it!
I remember hearing this for the first time on MTV's 120 minutes. Can't believe this song is 20 years old. I love it!
It's 28 years old you mean! Wow. Love it.
30 years
I also remember when this was brand new. We're getting old. There's now been more time passed between this song and now than there was between this song and The Beatles' first album.
@@ShadowOfTheVoid it's over double my age
@@EventideBlackFox your going to make 100 for sure.
Seriously, how does this video only have 242,000 views?
The real question is how did it get that many views and the answer is because of fuckwitted fuckwits like yourself who have no true musical appreciation. Aren't they great - they sound like at least a million other bands.
Because most people are musical mutants.
This wasn't a big hit.
Because this is a different cut of the video and it’s boring as hell
This band really wasn’t that big for one thing. And this song was not a big hit. I have only ever even heard the first few seconds of it before because it was used in the TV spots for the movie Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The song wasn’t even huge at the time it came out. 😂
My neighbors love this tune, whether they want to or not.
Thank you local radio for playing 90s at noon and reminding me of this song. I needed to hear it today. :)
Old fart here...was looking through my old CD's the other day and saw the ones from Cracker. Instead of going out and buying a CD player (only have one in my car these days :D) I decided to listen to a few of their songs here to remind me of good times!
I was waiting for the dogs to pee on the drum kit! Loved this when it first hit the airwaves in Dallas, still rocking with this in 2024!!!
It's Mark Linkous' farm in western Virginia. That's his dalmation and him riding the Moto-Guzzi in the background. RIP Mark.
2022 and a Big HELL YEAH out to Cracker !!!
LOVE these guys!!!
I loved this song my senior year of high school. Takes me back.
I keep comin' back to this wild oldie !
How does this song not have more views? It topped the modern rock chart, which surprisingly, didn’t happen to Low.
I said the same thing when I saw the views/likes numbers. 🤔
Crackingly awesome 👍
Saw them a couple of times in Denver/Boulder...great live act!
I'm new to their sound and I love it!
This video just screams FUN! I love the way everything just deteriorates at the end. I'd be willing to be that this was done after several takes and they were beyond the point of caring. Great!
This was half of my high School graduated 89... So effin true
I wish i had this cd still! I love this shihhhh✌️🖤 Great memories when this first came out. Geesh, bring back the ole days.
one of my fav songs from one of my fav bands
I have loved this song for many years, this is the first time I've seen this video. Great song, great band.
I miss being a teenager in the 90's!
Dammit I wanna go back!
MTV Flashback - December 20, 1992 120 Minutes -Top 20 Alternative videos of 1992 #13
Jim Keltner, solo Beatles session drummer, drumming on this album...outstanding primitive rock....thank you for posting.
Primitive?
Why haven’t I seen this video of my favorite band before? Priceless. Thank you!
I was 16 when this album came out and first heard it, so yup.
Awesome song and awesome band - cool
I thought "Low" was their first hit... holy crap, I *totally* remember this song well before "Low", but had no idea this was them. 😮
LOVE IT ! 💕💕💕💕💕🎸🎼🎶🎵
This reminds me of cranking up a fire road in NC or VA while freezing my ass off.
They musta had a blast filming this
Down by the San Lorenzo River?
Cause, what the world needs now
Are some true words of wisdom
Like La La La La La
Amazing tune!
I have always wondered where this vid was made. it looks like a place I used to ride a ratty old dirt bike like the one in the background.........
Denver apparently!
Looks like NNE NC or SSW VA
@@Adam-qw7kc theres a place right outside of gridley ca that looks exactly like this. now I am sure there are other places as well.
Got no words, these guys are awesome!!!
81 people want another folk singer
Im sorry you cant have one!.
I'm a folk singer. And I love this song!
That was awesome!
Possibly my favorite song/video combination ever. o.f.y. woo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I remember going to a pop up show where the played this at a club in San Jose CA in 1992. One of those times when everyone was shocked someone else knew the words to a song only you liked.
love it!!!
Adoro esta música. Mi infancia noventera :)
David, this is still one of your best!
Une grande chanson et un grand vidéo clip !
it really is my favorite music video ever..
Loved this song and still do, child of the 90s that I am.
Hopefully that won the MTV video of the year award 😊
GOTTA CRANK THIS ONE UP...EVERY TIME
The world needs me rocking you with it with you
Oh I can sing alright
It needed me singing all 29 years of it
PERFORMING IT
Excellent tune and video. Good job on this one.
If you were born after 1985 or so I don't know how to explain this, but yes some of dressed like this in the 90s.
Flicking awesome 👍
I remember this when it was in high rotation on MTV's Alternative Dalmatian.
Great Song!! 📻 🎶 🎵
What the world needs now is more '90's music.
Awesome!
I saw them once. God only knows what I was on or where I was at, but hey man, great times!!!!!
I forgot about Cracker and rediscovered it today. It brings back a lot of memories, almost like getting a glance back into my childhood.
You've gotta stick around to the end of this video to truly appreciate it!
I forgot about this song! It kicks all manner of ass. Why can’t I find anywhere to stream this album from?
Best song ever.
Great song, really great video.
Banda que estou conhecendo agora...e curtindo demais.....
I don't know what the world may want, but some words of wisdom could comfort us, think i'll leave that up to someone wiser.....
Cause what the world needs now are some true words of wisdom like la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Truer words have never been spoken, esp in with the state of music in 2021!
Love this group. Love this song. Saw them in Seattle way back in the day -- before Amazon moved in and ruined everything.
Genial!!!!😊🍁
Like I need a whole in my head: epically great.
It's really "Like I need ANOTHER hole in my head".
so great, so now
I was 18 in 91, and the music was great....
Try turning 18 when the chorus started, "with the lights out -"
There's another video to this song but I can't find it on CZcams. :(
misses the 90's and the music of course
my dad use to play this song but it wasn't by cracker and i want to hear it but cant find it anywhere:( if a tone could help mr that would be amazing
I cannot believe this absolutely f***ing brilliant song has only 100k+ views as we speak.
