@@asperhes There would appear to be two points, and the point that Buffalo (or ) is a hick town is one of them. The other point is that both Kate and Riki ARE seriously f@£&ing good-looking, and it’s only where the shallowness of fake tans, botox and boob jobs rule (Hollywood, tv “reality” shows, etc) that they are not considered to be so. The skill of the songwriting is that you can never be sure which is the point that they’re making.

Born and raised in Buffalo! Love, Love, Love this song! SO true!! Lake effect snow, the military and MS, drove me to CA, but Buffalo will always be "home" to me! Garfunkel & Oats, keep singing the truth that no one wants to say out loud..to other people..., and making us laugh, as we shake our heads, in agreement!
My mom's from Buffalo and moved out West right when she graduated from high school. I've visited family a few times there as a kid - I've always had a soft spot for the place!
Born and raised in Amherst (suburb of Buffalo) and the connection to the place and people is real. It has a midwestern vibe that still resonates with me, long after moving to metro NYC. Garfunkel and Oates are the best!
How have I not heard this song... I was absolutely sure I hade dug through their entire catalogue ... This might even be their best song. Not necessarily the funniest but its a perfect balance of funny, important message and actually beautiful song.
On a 1-10 attractiveness scale, people (this applies to guys, too) can subtract 5 when they go to Hollywood. That's why actors who are "Hollywood ugly" would be knockouts pretty much anywhere else on earth.
When you get out of middle school, you'll find no grownup uses the 1-10 scale to describe attractiveness. People's looks vary too much and there's so many kinds of beauty, to use such a simplistic way of expressing it.
God, this is so true. The heartthrobs of my hometown would get a 'SERIOUSLY?!' in a lot of places. Then again, a lot of them actually have personalities, that helps.
Such a sweet lovely song ! I’ve been a fan of their music for years and never heard this one ! Reminds me of the comedian Tina Friml who says she is a Vermont 9 !
hey, in Tonawanda and Amherst and NT too, it's a shame there are no real concerts 2020 but in my dreams you make a guest shot one song at Music is Art and it's back in Delaware Park Robby announces you, hey fantasies are things we really know we're not doing in real life, but I'd like this one to become real
im from around buffalo and this girl has it all to me... every one likes her here wings and blue cheese for me and a garbo plate from rochester. get ahold of me any time for a beer lol.
I'm pretty in Buffalo I'm a sexy bitch there, don't you know? The boys like me in Buffalo And if you don't believe me, I'll tell you where you can go You say you wanna find a girl who has it all Hotter than Gisele and funnier than Lucille Ball In the battle of wits and tits We all know which way you'll go But "I Love Gisele" wasn't the name of that TV show I'm from a town where mullets aren't ironic So when I go home people want it I'm pretty in Buffalo I'm a foxy mother fucker there, don't you know? The girls like me in Buffalo And if you don't believe me, I'll tell you what you can blow I could wear Lee Press-On Nails And Carhartt gear and crunchy bangs And still be in the fashion show at the mall I could drink beer every night And eat nothing but chicken wings And still pick up dudes at the pool hall 'Cause I'm pretty in Buffalo I'm all over your face there, don't you know? They all wanna fuck me in Buffalo So maybe I should just pack my shit and go
I like Garfunkel and Oates too but two years have passed and your statement remains quite ridiculous. I guess you have a limited acquaintance with music to have such an opinion.
Admitted ten miler. If you understand what that means you also don’t understand why any one lives elsewhere and you know the best girls are from Buffalo.

The irony is that their political bent, based on their other lyrics, is aligned with people on the coasts and NOT those in flyover country, who they praise in this song.
Ladies, if you're tired of all that disgusting and offensive attention from men this song also works in reverse. Simply move to L.A. or Miami where you will instantly be the least attractive woman in town.
"Surveys"? No, one flawed set of data from OKCupid, which is skewed by virtue of being a dating site, especially since the women were rating photos of men, which can be misleading (poorly lit, bad angle, etc.) However, if you want to believe that all women have absurdly high standards then go ahead.
@@Nananananaheckyes Skewed... downwards? Are you suggesting that the photos men submit of themselves to a dating site tend to make men look _worse_ than they really do? Moreover, that same OKCupid data set showed that the average rating of women by men was... average. Any theory explaining this difference?
These songs are entertaining the first few times you hear them. Then the formula becomes obvious: Attack narrowly held stereotypes with a catchy melody and shocking, rhyming lyrics sung by attractive women. Gets old fast.
Haroldbeavis1969 You sound like you are also getting old fast. Instead of bitching, why don’t you write and sing and play a better song? I bet you couldn’t do it....
Yes, catchy melody, rhyming lyrics and challenging words. Such a cliché. I much prefer forgettable melodies, cumbersome lyrics and words that comfort me and don't challenge stereotypes. Like the musical repertoire of Barney the Dinosaur.
When I first heard this song, I thought Kate sang it. Then when I learned to distinguish their voices better, I got really confused, because it sounded like Riki. But Riki singing this song doesn't make any sense. Riki is hot as hell, no matter where she goes. Kate singing this song would make more sense, because of the whole butterface situation. She has a nice body tho.
These two are gorgeous ANYWHERE.
No they're not. That's the point of the song.
Hollywood is strange and not in a good way. These two are pretty in the rest of the world. They would be pretty in China.🇨🇳 Oh, and yes I live here.

I love Kate, she is one of the most talented actress that is so underrated 😢
She’s not underrated. Just look at her screen credits.
Voice of an angel, mind like a steel trap. A dangerous combo...
Riki has the voice of an angel.
How many beautiful people are destroyed by people that make think they are not enough? Truly beautiful inner strength in this song.

Born in Buffalo too. Married two Buffalo girls (not at the same time). Moved out in '94 for career opportunities. This duo is brilliant.
Buffalo is God's beta test site for winter.

That is one lovely singing voice!!!
So many good things about this song, but one of them is the sweet voice mercilessly cussing up a storm at a shallow guy who deserves it.
Oddly enough, I think this is a beautiful and well made song. definitely has a nice, hypnotic flow to it.
Why does this song make me tear up?
Both hilarious on Big Bang, the songs are awesome, thanks
i grew up there, everything is true. we love you.
Ricky, you and Kate are magnificent. This is a truly beautiful song
Can confirm. From Buffalo are and these two are hot!

Any women here in Seattle gets an automatic +2 because the male/female ratio is so out of whack because of all the tech dudes.
Cool
I really like the way these girls put it out...
Should be more popular in Australia 😉😃

this and loser make me so happy in a melancholy way
Absolutely brilliant!
Can confirm. Represent the 716
This song is amazing! 😂
Riki is pretty EVERYWHERE!!
really good song
Great Guitar !!
This song is amazing.

Excellent, it gets high marks in my book.In every category. Bravo.
LMAO... My wife is from LA and now living in Buffalo, some things are just too true. ;o)
Delaware loves you too. Go ladies!
Great!
That is a good song.
Ya'll look & sound fantastic!
Both of those girls, err, women are pretty anywhere. Too bad I don't live anywhere near them and was born 20+ years too early.
Katie, you're pretty anywhere! Love you girl!
It does sound like a much more relaxed way of life there. LOL
I like this song. Very nice.
You rock....
Brilliant:)
Would sound great at a Bills tailgate party.
This is the best one
This made me realize that “go” does indeed rhyme best with “Buffalo” - a fact too often denigrated by Chicagoans.
Yep. They'd be hot in mid Michigan, too
I define ‘know’ as a justified, true, belief.
Book a show here! That would be pretty cool. Wings are on me. P.S. Nothing before May, unless you're really into Weather.
im from around buffalo and this girl has it all to me... every one likes her here wings and blue cheese for me and a garbo plate from rochester. get ahold of me any time for a beer lol.
I'm pretty in Buffalo
I'm a sexy bitch there, don't you know?
The boys like me in Buffalo
And if you don't believe me, I'll tell you where you can go
You say you wanna find a girl who has it all
Hotter than Gisele and funnier than Lucille Ball
In the battle of wits and tits
We all know which way you'll go
But "I Love Gisele" wasn't the name of that TV show
I'm from a town where mullets aren't ironic
So when I go home people want it
I'm pretty in Buffalo
I'm a foxy mother fucker there, don't you know?
The girls like me in Buffalo
And if you don't believe me, I'll tell you what you can blow
I could wear Lee Press-On Nails
And Carhartt gear and crunchy bangs
And still be in the fashion show at the mall
I could drink beer every night
And eat nothing but chicken wings
And still pick up dudes at the pool hall
'Cause I'm pretty in Buffalo
I'm all over your face there, don't you know?
They all wanna fuck me in Buffalo
So maybe I should just pack my shit and go
Should have named the group, McCartney and Lennon. These gals have just as much talent as them.
No, that would be missing the point of their material. "Harrison and Starr" might have worked.
Eh.. No..
I like Garfunkel and Oates too but two years have passed and your statement remains quite ridiculous. I guess you have a limited acquaintance with music to have such an opinion.
@@1ouncebird Captain & Tennille - no wait, that's been taken
this is so nice
Please do a show in st louis Missouri
they should have given this song to someone else.They're pretty hot anywhere, especially the pixie one
Riki especially looks like a model to me. Dont know why she would think she is anything but a stonecold fox.
@@betsiemeyer1 Because you don't live in Los Angeles.
Every girl in Buffalo is the girl down the street.
Wooooo Hooooo !! she's finally showin some skin 8 P
I never was put off by a strong nose. I always figured other guys are passing this girl by? Not me, bro!
Wait... Carhartt gear isn't sexy everywhere?
Funny song, good pickin'.
How many pretty girls from South Dakota does it take to change a lightbulb?
Both of them.
Q: How many Sheldon Coopers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Just one. He holds it over his head & the whole world revolves around him!
I have yet to hear a G&O song that wasn't clever, entertaining while getting across a message.
I don't know why, but I feel like jumping off a building right about now.
true facts in a song ...how buffalo of you
Kind of like Hot in Cleveland. They are both pretty, the cute end of pretty but pretty nevertheless.
Funny song. Hilarious!
i think the logical contest that video clips run in youtube automatically trains neural networks attached with it
This is attributed to the Music Songs album. But it isn't on that album on Spotify. Does it exist in the garfunkel and oates discography?
It is on the Garfunkel and Oats “mixed tape” album.
I don't think they have been in Buffalo lately not very many pool halls any more unless they are just talking about every dive that has a pool table
Miss this Iphis and Ianthe couple.
Admitted ten miler. If you understand what that means you also don’t understand why any one lives elsewhere and you know the best girls are from Buffalo.
❤️
YOU SHOULD RENT THIS SONG TAYLOR QUIFT😮😂
You would be hot in Iowa also.
ha! ha! great message
Accurate
Nothing wrong with Buffalo. They have their own WW2 navy.
Who are these girls😁
So is this ripping on places like NYC and LA, or Buffalo?

This is just Lindhome not Garfunkel and Oats.
I thought that a vice was missing.
Although the song was released on a Garfunkel and Oates album.
Astute powers of observation at work.
@Dave Ravies No, it's all Lindhome.
You're pretty here, too.
I’m a Utah 7.

I'm not even pretty in DelCo.
well i like the positivity but i am not sure i would be pretty anywhere.

Who?
The irony is that their political bent, based on their other lyrics, is aligned with people on the coasts and NOT those in flyover country, who they praise in this song.
Although I live on one of the coasts, I now think “flyover country” is a pretty demeaning term.
Why is that ironic? This song has nothing to do with politics. We are more than our political affiliations.
Women: We don't try to improve our appearance for male attention.
Also women: This song.
Ladies, if you're tired of all that disgusting and offensive attention from men this song also works in reverse. Simply move to L.A. or Miami where you will instantly be the least attractive woman in town.
Surveys have shown that women rate 80% of men as "below average looking". So... yeah.

zlozlozlo That's the point of the song, though. She is pretty everywhere except L.A., where the standard of beauty is different.
@@obviouspineapple1660 But Riki is pretty even in LA. That's what it doesn't make sense.
