WOW I love this video...proud of this song....that cop at the end IMPROVISED and walked into the shot! He was there to deal with traffic while we shot that last scene and he just jumped in and pretended to shut us down! So good...thanks for all the love nice people!
I somehow never saw this video until now, and here I am simultaneously being blown away AND replying to Chris Ballew! I can't even begin to express how much I love this album. All your albums are classics imo, but II became an almost religious form of escapism to me as an anxious teen. It's definitely in my top 3 most played albums in my life! Even my Dad liked you guys and he never liked my music! That cop sounds like a total legend, and the video is just brilliant - totally unique compared to other music videos at that time! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the music - it helped me immensely through some tough times (and still does). Also the fact you make songs for kids now is SO fricking cool! There's so much crap churned out for kids these days with the sole purpose of generating clicks / income, as kids are seen (and exploited) as an "easy" audience. Having listened to a few of the songs, I can instantly hear there's a million percent more care, thought, humour and craft put into them than 99% of kids content! More great songwriters should be doing what you do!
@@riksargent4513 Rik! Thanks for the LOVE and respect....MUCH appreciated!! O am so glad that my songs were so helpful to you during funky times. That is WHY I do this so that is great to hear. Take care!!
@@chrisballew7729 Ah you're a total legend! Thank u for replying, you made my day! (Totally gonna screenshot this and show my dad ha!) Look forward to hearing any new music as always, as well as continuing to appreciate the old stuff. Take care too! :)
@@chrisballew7729 Hi Chris, i remember the very first time Mach 5 was played on the radio here (big event back then) it was a different version than the one of the album. Different guitar tone, some slight differences here and there (i recorded it on cassette and still have it). I immediatly noticed it when i bought the album a few weeks later. Do you remember an alternate version of the song ? Was it a special edit for radios or something ? (needless to say that your music enlighted my teen days in the 90's :)
I have one main question all of the time and thats Why didnt PUSA become more popular? My only answer is that our music industry SUCKS. These guys were kick ass Ive always loved their music and as I get older I find myself listening to them more and more!!!
Yes! I think that's the first time I see the word "underrated" used it correctly in a YT comment... "Ladies and Gentlemen 1 and 2", "Toob Amplifier" are still on my memory, it's one good catchy record...
My favorite band.. my older brother introduced me when I was like 13... listening now they feel so cosmically transcending.. many albums are very dear to my heart... in this video I loved when the other members partook in Jason Finn's specialty
these guys were so awesome back in the day, you put this CD on at a party back in 97 and the place would go crazy, like the way they did Van Halen in 1979. miss those days.
I would crank this all the way up when I was an 8 year old. Even with just getting into some punk music, PUSA's follow up release felt like solid rock & roll. Something a real garbage man could appreciate, ya know? It's just such pure electric guitar rock. mmm.
@@mattwilson317 That's exactly where Chris (bassist) got the idea from; he was a roommate of Mark Sandman's (the singer in Morphine. Mark died in 1999 at the age of 46, probably from his smoking.)
@@edwardsimmonds521 yeah I guess I rather listen to Justin Bieber screaming 'baby' like 50 times or some other mentally ill idiot repeating nonsensical stuff like 'gucci gang'
This is the song i was listening to when i got my first ticket for speeding I earned that ticket. If you are doing something wrong do it all the way wrong !
If it makes you feel any better, I was blasting Busta Rhymes' cover of the Knight Rider theme, "Fire It Up." I still remember it. I was trying to get back to rehearsal on a country road. Like he was saving my life from these dangerous curves that I'd lived on for 15 years. Only lesson I learned was "don't drive back to school, dumbass." Fools always be getting caught up on the way back.
I remember jamming this on my mp3 player ripped from the original cd in my dads collection driving around thinking we were going 200km/h. the best memories i can think of to this day
These guys are one of my all time favorites. Every bit as talented, creative, and unique as Primus. These guys taught me as a musician it doesn't always have to be so serious. Thank you for the good times.
These guys were actually in the same scene as Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Soundgarden etc. Even one of their songs is featuring Kim Thayil. Yet their original dumb-fun sound stood up from the rest and with it found their party albeit late.
The Presidents have awesome videos. The sillier the better! They have one where they go into a music store and start playing toy pianos and stuff. These guys are great!
Always my favourites presidents song. Anyone notice that it looks like Woody Harrelson, Michael Stipe from REM and Alan Davies from Qi formed a band?🤯🥸🤭!
I first heard this song around '98 or '99 when it was featured on some compilation CD my friend picked up from... Pizza Hut? Something like that. Can anyone confirm? Such a kickass, fist-pumping rock anthem! My favorite PUSA song!

It is physically impossible not to smile while listening to this song.
Still one of the greatest driving songs of all time!!
On the same playlist as Go With The Flow.
@@91083duduHow about “The Distance” by Cake?
The happiest band on earth!
this is when music videos were fun and watchable!
How the hell did this song NOT at least make it into the credits of the Speed Racer movie? It's perfect for the credits!
I have one main question all of the time and thats Why didnt PUSA become more popular? My only answer is that our music industry SUCKS. These guys were kick ass Ive always loved their music and as I get older I find myself listening to them more and more!!!
My favorite song ALL TIME 🤟
@@Hammerjockeyrepair They actually were VERY popular like huge stars back in the day.
@@Hammerjockeyrepair Their last album only sold 25,000 copies. Their fans left them and the new kiddies didn't catch on....
Because that movie SUCKED
One of the best and simple band in the music industry...all hail yeah!!!!
So many awesome things about this song and video. When they're all playing a drum kit and they point with their drumstick on the 'yeah'. Perfect.
that's my favourite part
Nothing gets me in a better mood than popping in a PUSA album, rolling down the windows and going crazy while I sing/yell along.
Fucking loved this whole album one of the most underrated albums ever.
Pure UN-DIS-COVERED 🔥 FIRE, Baby!
Yes! I think that's the first time I see the word "underrated" used it correctly in a YT comment... "Ladies and Gentlemen 1 and 2", "Toob Amplifier" are still on my memory, it's one good catchy record...
👍💚👍💚 Absolute gold from start to finish
@@redacted2275 Got a brand new Big Bertha Driver..
I know what you mean. I jammed to this cd so much that my brother-in-law said to me, "You know that there is other music out there, right?"
My favorite band.. my older brother introduced me when I was like 13... listening now they feel so cosmically transcending.. many albums are very dear to my heart... in this video I loved when the other members partook in Jason Finn's specialty
This song rocks so hard!

I miss this band ,😁🖤🤘
This is just my favorite thing ever!!!
One of the few songs that is somehow way, way better live than taped. They brought so much energy to it.
Always such a kick ass band!! I love you guys!
probably the bestest most feel goodest funnest band EVER.
gosh miss those 90's good ol' days.
I wish PUSA could buy the rights to this album so they could do a re-release. I had a hell of a hard time finding a copy!
If you are ever...ever, having a bad day... THROW ON SOME PUSA. PERIOD.
The PotUSA were/are WAY underrated! Kinda like great wine - they get better with time!
Took me a while to notice this but the bass player plays with two strings. Kudos to him, It seems to work
Called a bassitar. Check out a band called Morphine, the singer plays a two string bass in that. They're awesome
@@mattwilson317 That's exactly where Chris (bassist) got the idea from; he was a roommate of Mark Sandman's (the singer in Morphine. Mark died in 1999 at the age of 46, probably from his smoking.)
Why this isn't the most popular band on the planet still makes me wonder...
Because they made stupid music.
Edward Simmonds damn bro, thats not very cash money of you.
Edward Simmonds better than stupid comments.
@@edwardsimmonds521 yeah I guess I rather listen to Justin Bieber screaming 'baby' like 50 times or some other mentally ill idiot repeating nonsensical stuff like 'gucci gang'
@@jimpickens4 Not his point. I love PUSA, but the music is "silly". Not everyone is into that.
This is the song i was listening to when i got my first ticket for speeding I earned that ticket. If you are doing something wrong do it all the way wrong !
Are you encouraging us to be irresponsible? :'D
Lol
If it makes you feel any better, I was blasting Busta Rhymes' cover of the Knight Rider theme, "Fire It Up." I still remember it. I was trying to get back to rehearsal on a country road.

These guys were actually in the same scene as Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Soundgarden etc. Even one of their songs is featuring Kim Thayil. Yet their original dumb-fun sound stood up from the rest and with it found their party albeit late.
I recon Thayil did more on that album that he didn’t get credited for.
Thayil did the solo to Naked and Famous on the first album, which totally sounds like his style that you'd hear on any Soundgarden song. It's badass!
Remarklabe ,between the two they haven´t a complete guitar
These dudes were straight rockin!
Awesome tune. It's a great driving song.
The Presidents have awesome videos. The sillier the better! They have one where they go into a music store and start playing toy pianos and stuff. These guys are great!
Damn, John Malkovich is killing it.
Hahaha
Can't unsee that.
@ChrisBallew That riff is so addictive. Same for Kitty. The baseline is so fat and the rhythm guitar-bass mix is so good!
One of my favorite songs from the 2nd album. I’d love to see you guys get back together.
his electric guitar has two stings.... THATS HOW EPIC HE IS.
It's actually a 2 string "basitar." And the guitarist often plays a 3 string "guitbass." Craziness!
The acoustic guitar solo in that song is my favorite.
It Rock's like crazy it should be a classic by now love love love
I love the lyrics and music. so beautiful.
laying a little patch makes me laugh.
I still love this song...five years later. the chocolate on the face is glorious
this track is PERFECT for a skate session video. I should do that!
so good
Awesome!
I still love this song, Chris.
Great song. First time I've ever seen a flying V bass guitar.
The song brings a smile to my face
One of my faves to sing at karaoke!
love these guys! Happy funny rock!!
Yeah, still a jammin song
This music is just so much fun.
I´ve been looking for this song for a long time. All I could remember was something about the car being blue, droptop and it had a creamy interior.
i cant imagine how much fun that must have been to make.. i wish i was a rock star..
I love the way he's laying the flying v bass.
Picture 12 year old me in grunge clothes just blasting this cassette non stop. Fuckin good times boys.

I don't know who had the most fun. The band when they were filming this, the guy who got to edit it, or me sitting here watching it.
this jam makes me feel good
perfection.
90's forever baby!
Love this song 🎵
yes it is, thank you so much!!!
this song would make a good roller coaster

This is the 1990s I want to remember.
the running shoes were a nice touch
2023 and this is still my favorite song
This album while playing Mario 64...
😊😊😊
Still the best video ever made ever. Ever!
FN love this song
I couldn´t agree more.
I love Presidents
I can't believe this video hasn't reached over a million views after 13 years? C'mon youtube, this video is loads of fun and it's a great song!
Pusa one of the best cool 90's rock band I had
Good shit- These guys were hilarious
You'll definitely go into the rock n roll hall of Fame! We should make it happen guys.
Yeah because they regularly induct 2-hit wonders
@@justincoleman3805they had a bunch of hits
@@justincoleman3805their entire 1st album was a hit, it sold triple platinum, and they had a bunch of hits after
These guys are so awesome. Remind me of They Might Be Giants
TMBG was a great influence on The Presidents :)
2 string Bass and 3 string guitar. classic
good!
Thee greatest song about playing with Matchbox cars ever..
MATCHBOX® PAY THESE DUDES!
Woody Harrelson sure could rock out on guitar.

If you shave the drummers head and throw blue paint on them it's like a punk rock blue man group
I just blue myself!
How In the hell is this not the biggest selling album of all time?
november 2018
best rock band
1:11 Makes me chuckle
The cake-breakdown is pure genius
The cut back to them mid-jump is hysterical
It's a cake-down at the end of that part, too.
When i was younger (maybe 5-7) i used to smash matchbox cars but kept one. Still got it
Based on a true story. It is a white mustang
@@nomorecomply4044 That's what I loved about this song. I could relate it directly to my childhood Hotwheels and Matchbox cars as a kid in the 70's, especially when he talks about smashing them!
That was exhausting.
Go i love this song! PUSA4EVER
I want to know what dad shoes Dave Dederer is rocking at the end of the video!
Seattle represent!
