Heard this song live when Jenny Lewis opened for Father John Misty last summer. I jotted it down in my phone’s notes because it was so catchy. Glad to see her on Colbert!
What a spectacular voice. Saw her open for Beck at MSG. Great show.
I remember Jenny from "Troop Beverly Hills". I didn't follow her singing career, but after hearing this, I'll be staying tuned!
Omg! When a song gives me goosebumps! I have to wear it out. I love this song I'm going to Amazon music right now
She's really really good
Riley Kilo Ren yeah!
I love how insane she's become
fun tune with a mellow feel! very retro!
this song really sneaks up on you... so beautiful and catchy
She put on such a great show in our city this past spring!
another great song, love the new album!!
I love this song so much! ♥️
Slammin'! Jenny Lewis is amazing, great albums!
I will never be able to get over that that is the same Jenny Lewis that was in Troop Beverly Hills!!! That is baffling!!!
[Verse 1]
Sister, we're slidin' down a bong
I can't tell you what I think you're doing wrong
Stop your cryin', our daddy's gone
Do you remember when he used to sing us that little song?
[Chorus]
I wasted my youth on a poppy
Doo-doo doo-doo doo, just for fun
I wasted my youth on a poppy
Doo-doo doo-doo doo, just because
[Verse 2]
Why you lyin'? The bourbon's gone
Mercury hasn't been in retrograde for that long, oh no
Stop your hiding, drop that bomb
Do you remember when I used to sing you this little song?
[Chorus]
I wasted my youth on a poppy
Doo-doo doo-doo doo, just for fun
I wasted my youth on a poppy
Doo-doo doo-doo doo, just because
And everybody knows, it's a tight rope
The cookie crumbles into dust
And everybody knows, we're in trouble
Doo-doo doo-doo doo, candy crush
[Bridge]
Just 'cause you're young, don't mean nothing
Don't mean nothing
We are here and we're gon' do something
While your heart is thumping
[Chorus]
I wasted my youth on a poppy
Doo-doo doo-doo doo, just because
I wasted my youth on a poppy
Doo-doo doo-doo doo, just for fun
And everybody knows, it's a tight rope
The cookie crumbles into dust
And everybody knows, we're in trouble
Doo-doo doo-doo doo, candy crush
[Outro]
Wasted my youth
Wasted youth
Doo-doo doo-doo doo
Wasted youth
Doo-doo doo-doo doo
Wasted youth
Doo-doo doo-doo doo
What the hell does all that MEAN???
Steaming shit pile.
@@leavingitblank9363 bong poppy she wasted her youth on drugs as she was sad her daddy was gone . Life is tough and you walk a tightrope
@@leavingitblank9363 the song is about Jenny's mother and her drug addiction, told through the eyes of Jenny's childhood. Such a brilliant, heartfelt song
@@leavingitblank9363 The chorus is not being said by the song’s narrator. It’s the “little song” she introduces just before singing it each time (do you remember when he used to sing us this little song)
The song makes more sense after you notice that.
Anyway her parents were heroin addicts, so here she’s imagining them singing her an insouciant little lullaby about their drug use.
And the bridge is pretty clear and literal, on the topic of wasted youth: “Just cause you’re young, don’t mean nothing. We’re here and we’re gone.” I.e you have all the time in the world to do something with your life, until you don’t. “Do something while your heart is pumping”
Finally a former child actress who can sing and write. That was always her best talents. She is a great performer.
She
Love her!!!❤❤❤
another great song from this album is Red Bull & Hennessy feat: Director Eric Notarnicola’s grainy, vintage-looking clip features quick appearances from an impressive cast, including Beck, St. Vincent, Mac DeMarco, a nattily attired Jeff Goldblum, Vanessa Bayer, Jason Schwartzman, Danielle Haim, Nikki Lane, Tim Heidecker, and former WCW World Heavyweight Champion David Arquette
Jenny Lewis AND "Single Handidly Bringing Back The Musical Stylings Of Patti Page"
I remember seeing her in Troop Beverly Hills a million times as a kid... still amazing!
Love The Late Show, always gives me ideas for my channel (for comedy and with celebrities)
Jenny Rules!
i love this song
I want to see her live again!
The skull track suits are awesome. My mom would dig it.
Good to be alive-Great Song Jenny !!
She is so darn good!
I want Jason Boesel to be my drummer!! Flawless, guys!! Dang. Jenny should be proud. They all should be.
Yep Jason Boesel is the fucking man
Like fine wine 👌🏼 my girl
Great tune
Dig it. Feel like she's calling me out for wasting my youth tho
bump into you here. Small internet world.
@@shivershadowband darling where have you been?
@@shivershadowband the world isn't small. But fate is always on time
What’s happening here?? Update please!
Jenny Lewis seems like a mixture of Zoey Deschanel and my former choir teacher. I love this song! 💙💜
Wasted my youth watching 'The Wizard' in theaters, but loooove her music!!
Taught a generation how to find the whistle in world 1 of super mario world.
@@simetry6477 She taught how to play craps, The Wizard found that whistle in Super Mario 3
I have such a huge crush on Jenny Lewis
👑
First time I’ve heard of her. Sounds retro.
You might remember her as the girl from The Wizard.
Her lyrics used to be way better, more poignant, thoughtful. Now they're a lot lazier. Ah well. :)
Band sounds great
excellent, beautiful, sublime.
Jenny Lewis is m’fin rock star. She’s my forever favorite. From Troop Beverly Hills and The Golden Girls to Rilo Kiley and collabs with Postal Service to her solo albums. She’s one of the greats of our time. People need to wake up.
not sure how i feel into a Jenny Lewis music dive but, i’m very impressed she comes off like the female version of Butch Walker which can only be a good thing (really enjoyable stuff) 👍
🤩😍🤩😍
Oh, shit, I just saw her in Toronto with Death Cab! Great show, even though rain. Glad she played a Postal Service song too!
Wasn't she in "The Wizard"?
Yup
And Troop Beverly Hills
And also legendary indie rock band Rilo Kiley
Indeed she was, alongside Fred Savage. The Power Glove is also introduced in that movie because it is bad.....so bad.
@@brettbarrow4383 Yes, alongside Blake Sennett who was Ronnie Pinsky in a Nickelodeon show called "Salute Your Shorts."
Good, but it's better at 1.5x speed.
I wish the people out there that thumbs down that song would just not! That was really GOOD!
They look from another era. A better one.
It's called the 90s
I think that's the subtle message they are trying to put across. Hairstyle and makeup from the 60s, psychedelic background from the 70s, tracksuits from the 80s (with a wink to the 50s when a pop bands had to dress in the same outfit). And the poppy is a reference to wartime, although war never stopped in the other decades either. So I'm guessing the message is to not waste your youth on war.
Timi M heroin is made from poppies. The lyrics are about wasting your youth doing drugs. “Sister we’re sliding down a bong”
john really kept the music at a high lvl
💜💚KILO RILEY💚💜
I like their outfits; weird but comfortable looking. Also, like the person's hairdo, the one on the bass. :)
Wendy Desparois it’s a good do
It's cute how they're wearing matching track suits lol
Much less provocative than the cover she shot (I happen to like both).
Wizard!
Great message done subtle and swell.
Love her so much. Live she was a goddess.
Andrew Yang and Jenny Lewis on the same show!
Jenny Lewis AND "Ever Wondered What Happened To Fred Savage's Love Interest In 'The Wiz'? -- Well, Here She Is"
Wizard
@@MrPjchamb You are right! 'The Wiz' would have been Diana Ross or Michael Jackson"
isn't that when/how she met Blake?
@@keithshaw3098 And isn't Raccoon Mario from Super Mario 3 her Drummer?
my favourite from the (great) album
Damn I was really hoping it would have some connection to the meatloaf song haha
Love the song. Not too sure about the skull sweat shirts.
Yeah, skulls, why? People who 'decorate' themselves with those kind of repulsive icons have no place in the public sphere. I find them pityful.
I did not like the (first 15 seconds that I watched of) the song.
It's her merch.
@NakedAndLaughing -- You dead people are something else lmao. I feel sorry for you, celebrating death and decay ... while you are alive.
Well, at least you are naked and laughing, so I'll give you that ;)
imagine being such a pathetic shit that you're bothered by human anatomy
I wish the refrain was
"I wasted my youth on a puppy"
😂 very different song...
Poppy Melissa not puppy...in other words drugs..
@@Rhiannon011 I know. I lost a loved one to heroin when I was nine. Thats why I wish it was "puppy."
I am so sorry for your loss melissa saint. Forgive me if what I wrote hurt or offended you.
@@Rhiannon011 Oh my goodness, no, Barbara. You were just trying to be informative, you couldn't possibly have know that about a stranger!
Thank you for your very kind words, though.
@@melissasaint3283 My sister is an addict...she was supposed to have died of liver failure years ago..but she has survived but keeps doing drugs...all kinds...I can relate to you...she is 63 and been an addict since a teenager. I have never even smoked cigarettes and I stopped drinking many many years ago..though not an alcoholic I just wanted to make sure I didn't become like my father or sister..he died 4 years ago..
Cool shirts!
Doesn't it seem odd that he has these musical guests but doesn't interview them?
Jenny Lewis AND 'We Can Actually See This Music Performamce!!!"
Like it
The sweatshirts 💀
Jenny Lewis AND "The Purple Oyster Cult"
Nice.
wow...
Jenny Lewis AND "Should Be Singing Sheb Wooley's Purple People Eater"
I wanted images of her playing double dragon
I also am in trouble...di di di diii dooooo
waste me jenny!
I might by her album just so I can fully... appreciate... its cover. ;-)
Is this song about what I think it is? (The alkaloid in poppies that can steal away your youth). I like it whatever it's about. Great band with strings, singable chorus, attractive singer/songwriter.
It could also be a reference to wartime, since a poppy is the commemorative flower.
The guitarist wants to fight me!! Screw you dude im drunk!!!
I too wasted my youth on a puppy! 🐶
🖖
Great song writing! Sounds like something Elvis Costello could've written
Nope she writes her own music!
She actually sang backup on one of his records a few years ago. But yeah, she writes all her own stuff.
@@ritzy5691 I wasn't suggesting otherwise. I was simply saying that her style is reminiscent of his
They actually recorded a song together on Jenny’s second solo album, after the breakup of Rilo Kiley: czcams.com/video/5iExVdyq9BU/video.html
How many people thought this song was about puppies?
Me. I had to Google the lyrics to figure out what you were meaning!
I did lol
I wasted my youth on a puppy. Not a waste cause Jenny was there
Terrific drug awareness neat retro tune feeling. Danceable, too! TU
I can't decide whether the guitarist is just super nervous or having a mild stroke.
Somewhere an adorable puppy is feeling very underappreciated, and that's in dog feelings,lol
I dig her! Is she sporting a Zoey Deschanel?
She IS BFF's with Zoey
my bourbon is gone...
i dont think the genaral public gets the costumes great singer song writer on that show i would think you would want to look better the west coast may have got it but the mid west and east coast went to bed
Having WWE's Daniel Bryan on guitar completely made be forget that Jenny Lewis became Peggy Bundy
Fun hu?
she sings to put down that bong. does she mean she wasted her youth on a "papi"?
Meatloafs version was better.
Postmodern Bubble Gum
"Wasted youth"? I thought it would sound more like grunge.
I’m the 1st view...
really?
Now that was some weird thumbnail...
Doob!!!!!!!
The demons are not unfriendly. 😉
Yeah...I like Wasted Youth from Meat Loaf more
Peg escaped from Married With Children?
Yes, that's her, Peggy "Do Not Bother To Thank Her" Wanker
@@LEMMYKISGOD I didn't mean to trigger you Mr. White Knight.
Meatloaf's song is better!
how did popular music of the last ten years get so boring???
I wasted 4 minutes and 17 seconds , where is my refund?
didn't you just do a bunch of segments about puppies and in her song she said she wasted her youth on a puppy on a hound I get it it was meant to represent a young dude but cousin is coming take away from the whole puppy adoption thing he was doing 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Why does Stephen Colbert have a 1970s band playing?
Not 1970's Just real music not Corporate Crap with a Autotune!
