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 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.
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.
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 have an automatic level of respect for any band that treats their music video as a joke and calls attention to the fact that they're not actually playing live.

You nailed it. I was going to point out this tune as well. "Under the Bridge" is so far from a Teen Angst song...I'm surprised the Professor Wuss'uped up the Comment. I no he doesn't feel that way at all.
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 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.
@@johnglue1744 I wouldn’t say the math is WAY off lol. Assuming op was born somewhere around 1993, (and the song being released in 2009) they must’ve been around 15-17 (depending on their birth month) back then, so I guess I could have been off by a year or two..? Doesn’t make a big difference I think, they were still a teen.
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.
what the world needs now is more kick ass songs like this with great hooks. we need it now!
Classic song. Cracker is under-rated for sure.
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.
This entire album was from start to finish a monster all time classic every song on it is GREAT ⚡️Cracker Brand Kerosene
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.
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.
judging by the shambles the world now finds itself in, this song encapsulates it all...re-release it! great.
Liberals screwed us all.
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!
Such a tremendous song... brings back some outstanding memories.
haha, that can only mean ONE thing. Don't worry playa, we hear ya!
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
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).
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.
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.
I hadn't heard this song in at least 20 years... i miss the 90s so f***ing much.
What a debut song! Watching this on the Letterman Show, amazing!
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.
I don’t listen to Cracker often but when I do, so do the neighbors!
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
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.
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. 🤔
Love Johnny's tone! Great song! Damn I'm old!
Never knew about this band and i am a 90s music freak, i love this tune already!
My neighbors love this tune, whether they want to or not.
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. 😂
This song is terrific. And what a great video. This is timeless.
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!
81 people want another folk singer
Im sorry you cant have one!.
I'm a folk singer. And I love this song!
I want the 90's Back!
I heard this in my high school votech class in 92. Still so cool.
Just an amazing song...love it!
LOVE these guys!!!
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!
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!!!
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
Jim Keltner, solo Beatles session drummer, drumming on this album...outstanding primitive rock....thank you for posting.
Primitive?
What the world needs now is more '90's music.
My favorite song of the 90's,
I have loved this song for many years, this is the first time I've seen this video. Great song, great band.
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 have an automatic level of respect for any band that treats their music video as a joke and calls attention to the fact that they're not actually playing live.
Saw them a couple of times in Denver/Boulder...great live act!
I keep comin' back to this wild oldie !
Why haven’t I seen this video of my favorite band before? Priceless. Thank you!
They musta had a blast filming this
Down by the San Lorenzo River?
It's Mark Linkous' farm in western Virginia. That's his dalmation and him riding the Moto-Guzzi in the background. RIP Mark.
I'm new to their sound and I love it!
I loved this song my senior year of high school. Takes me back.
Amazing tune!
Crackingly awesome 👍
Awesome song and awesome band - cool
I forgot about Cracker and rediscovered it today. It brings back a lot of memories, almost like getting a glance back into my childhood.
one of my fav songs from one of my fav bands
2022 and a Big HELL YEAH out to Cracker !!!
That was awesome!
I wish i had this cd still! I love this shihhhh✌️🖤 Great memories when this first came out. Geesh, bring back the ole days.
Got no words, these guys are awesome!!!
*"Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)"*
I don't know what the world may need
But I'm sure as hell that it starts with me
And that's a wisdom I have laughed at
I don't know what the world may want
But a good stiff drink it surely don't
So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one
'Cause what the world needs now is a new kind of tension
'Cause the old one just bores me to death
'Cause what the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
I don't know what the world may need
But a V-8 engine's a good start for me
I think I'll drive and find a place to be surly
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
'Cause what the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
I don't know what the world may need
And I'll never grasp your complexities
I'd be happy just to get your attention
I don't know what the world may want
But your long sweet body lying next to mine
Could certainly raise my spirits
'Cause what the world needs now is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
You nailed it. I was going to point out this tune as well. "Under the Bridge" is so far from a Teen Angst song...I'm surprised the Professor Wuss'uped up the Comment.
I no he doesn't feel that way at all.
MTV Flashback - December 20, 1992 120 Minutes -Top 20 Alternative videos of 1992 #13
I thought "Low" was their first hit... holy crap, I *totally* remember this song well before "Low", but had no idea this was them. 😮
Hopefully that won the MTV video of the year award 😊
You've gotta stick around to the end of this video to truly appreciate it!
Now this is music, not the shit that’s playing on the radio these days. Sounds as fresh as the day it was released.
David, this is still one of your best!
I miss being a teenager in the 90's!
Dammit I wanna go back!
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.
This was half of my high School graduated 89... So effin true
I cannot believe this absolutely f***ing brilliant song has only 100k+ views as we speak.
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
LOVE IT ! 💕💕💕💕💕🎸🎼🎶🎵
love it!!!

Excellent tune and video. Good job on this one.
Possibly my favorite song/video combination ever. o.f.y. woo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Flicking awesome 👍
it really is my favorite music video ever..
Cause, what the world needs now
Are some true words of wisdom
Like La La La La La
Loved this song and still do, child of the 90s that I am.
This is exactly what we need now!
Une grande chanson et un grand vidéo clip !
I was 18 in 91, and the music was great....
Try turning 18 when the chorus started, "with the lights out -"
Best song ever.
Great song, really great video.
what the world needs now is a giant festival with music like this to blow off some steam
even more true now.
Awesome!
Great Song!! 📻 🎶 🎵
Adoro esta música. Mi infancia noventera :)
I’m 30, late millennial and yet I somehow feel nostalgic from this
I mean it was released when you were about 15, so maybe that explains it haha

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
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.
Timeless.

This brings me back to `1999 in a good way.
Love this group. Love this song. Saw them in Seattle way back in the day -- before Amazon moved in and ruined everything.
