According to Chavo Jr when he once called Roddy Piper's podcast to chat a bit, he said his Dad really enjoyed this song and doing the video for it.
Qq
In a culture obsessed with staying young, “it’s real sweet to grow old” at 2:35 makes me warm for the future.
I mean, it's a shot at his dad for not getting to, but whatever makes you feel warm.

Chavo's face after the "your ashes are scattered on the wind" line 2:20
HIS FACE IS MY LIFE
Well, it was a burn. A literal burn. Cremation.
makes it so much better
I love how the MC kind of approves of The Ripper tearing up John's picture but he's appalled by the tearing up of the furby photo.
This song is a fucking masterclass in storytelling that's both personal and generalizable. I look over these lyrics word-by-word and I can't figure out how he does it. I can't figure out how he communicates personal anger, joy, and relief in a way that feels earned and applicable to my own life.
Weird Al class music
RIP Chavo. No tribute anyone could pay you would be better than this.
"I need justice in my life, here it comes"
"You let me down but Chavo never once did"
An accurate representation of my feelings about The Ultimate Warrior as my parents went through a messy divorce in the late 80s.
@Zdiddy7 buddy you ok? Im gonna go Google warrior now
@Zdiddy7 Well yeah, I know that *now*. Back then I was a sad kid that needed a hero and the character of The Ultimate Warrior provided one.
Zdiddy7 that's some edgy bait hes talking about when he was a kid let him enjoy that
!!!! I was thinking "how did he capture this piece of our collective childhoods so well??"
Honestly how I felt about CM Punk face or heel my dad left me for Alcohol and drugs and CM Punk was my hero for taking such a firm stand against that stuff
This song just feels so happy and good and just. The fact that John got to meet and work with his childhood hero and that it was a great experience just makes me all joyful.
Pro wrestling always escaped me. It made no sense to me why so many of my friends as a boy liked it. I think of Joe Terranova and the lousy homelife that he had.... a divorced spazzy kid on ritalin who lived with his mom who worked nights as a nurse at a nursing home with no dad around. After hearing this album, it made so much sense to me. "I need justice in my life, here it comes." I feel for that kid.
john must have been thrilled to have chavo in the video! this was so fun and so goofy, unlike any of their past videos but so good
this felt particularly sincere and pure and AMAZING, at least more than other tMG music videos
Apparently according to Joey Ryan(dude with the moustache in the video) Chavo was kind of an arsehole that day. Oh well, sure it was still fun.
The only word that comes to my mind is KOOKY!
RIP Chavo 1949 - 2017 😭
Brendan _ I saw John at his book reading the next night, someone asked about it, and he talked about Chavo for like 20 monutes, and what it was like meeting him as an adult for this video after following him as a kid. Really cool.
I swear I wasn't gonna cry.
Heyyyyy yo... He's not dead though...
Krock no idea what the he'll this thing is um yeah is madness.on little nemo.on hbo
@@bsmyname he is
I guess the intersection of people who listen to The Mountain Goats and know who Ray Rosas, Ryan Nemeth, and Famous Dick Wrestler Joey Ryan are is pretty slim, but I'm pretty jazzed to be part of that club. This album is so good, and captures a lot of what makes pro wrestling so great. It's such a misunderstood art, and so many people miss what's beautiful and poetic about it.
Remember, support your local indy promotion!
Might need to scratch Joey Ryan off that list noe but hell yeah!
I just noticed that's Ryan Nemeth! The Hollywood Hunk!
@@scoop4882 In 2022 everyone started noticing he walks really fuckin weird
@@gmoss101this comment 😂🎉
Indie “wrestling” is some of the most insulting, disgusting, and painfully pathetic acts of stupidity ever witnessed. The indies have helped to devalue and dilute wrestling as a whole.
back in like 2018-2019 I had a spanish class, the teacher asked us to come up with spanish names for the class for us, I couldn't think of one that hasn't been used by someone else, until I thought of a song that I loved, this song. I chose Chavo as an homage to this and to this day if I see that teacher she always says "hello, Chavo" so thanks for such a good song and inspiring my spanish class name
He's from an era before my time but I still remember when he came to WWE around 2004 and had an awesome story with Chavo jr. and Eddie. The Guerrero family will always be wrestling royalty. R.I.P. "Chavo Classic"
I heard Chavo Jr say in an interview that Eddie was more like a big brother, than uncle because there was only about 12 years difference in their ages.
@@phildicks9251they were actually only 3 years apart
This speaks to so many fans of wrestling who started as kids
Especially with less than amazing family situations
RIP Chavo Classic and young Eddie G.
Man, it must have been such a thrill to shoot with a childhood hero like Chavo.
Valentino Rossi was my hero as a kid and now he announced his retirement and I can't stop listening to this song, john is a genius in capturing the most intimate emotion.
So sorry to hear that Chavo passed. Such a legendary wrestler from a legendary family. I'm really glad John got the chance to do this video with him.
A few years ago, Chavo Guerrero Jr was attending a convention in my town. Signing autographs, taking pictures etc.
I desperately wanted to have him sign my vinyl copy of "Beat the Champ." Only problem was, it was buried deep in a storage unit at the time (I was between houses.) So I missed the opportunity.
Easily one of my biggest low key regrets in life...
Chavo Guerrero, Rob Corddry and John Darnielle are on the same video together and I'm shitting my pants.
Rest in peace, Chavo Sr. truly a great loss for the world of wrestling.
Heard this today on Spotify shuffle on a 3 hour drive. The chorus got me to download immidiately
I forgot how achingly beautiful is this song. Now I remembered again.
Born down in El Paso where the tumbleweeds blow
To the middleweight champ of all of Mexico
Dad fought many bloody battles and raised four sons
Chavo was the oldest one
Old man Gory could pop like a live grenade
Raised his boys in the way of the trade
Hector and Mando, young Eddie G
Chavo meant the most to me
[Chorus:]
Look high
It's my last hope
Chavo Guerrero
Coming off the top rope
He came from Texas seeking fortune and fame
Rose pretty quickly to the top of his game
Defender of the downtrodden, king of the hill
Tag-team champion with Al Madril
Before a black and white TV in the middle of the night
I'm lying on the floor, I'm bathed in blue light
With the telecast in Spanish, I can understand some
And I need justice in my life, here it comes
Wurster playing the Mene Gene and heel manager is so perfect it's sickening.
This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
RIP Chavo Classico
I am fully convinced half of these views are from me
I've been obsessed with this song as of late
The UWF held events in my hometown for about a year in the late 80’s. Chavo wrestled and won in every single event (including a Texas death match) I could convince my parents to take me to. For a long time that Texas death match was recreated on the playground.
Chavo is John's hero. But "young Eddy G" hits harder for me.
Why this song Make be cry
rest in peace , to the legend CHAVO GUERRERO SR.... to his friends and family.. god bless all of you...
this is very good content
R.I.P Chavo Guerrero: Now your ashes are scattered on the wind - 12/02/17
CM DARNIELLE!
That moonsault though...
The reason they cut out is that he fucked it up and came down head first necessitating Joey Ryan catching him. He wanted to try again but cooler heads prevailed and they just did the fade out.
Wrestling With Wregret of course
Chavo Guerrero, coming off the top rope ...
YOU STILL GOT IT!
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP!
John is such a huggable person.
RIP Chavo Classic.
I just realized after watching this video many times over the last 5 years that Joey Ryan is in it.
RIP Chavo.
2:22 Guerrero Style 😭😂😭
Do I have everybody's attention now?
RIP Chavo Guerrero Sr 1949-2017
rest in peace chavo
That Joey Ryan cameo did, uh, let's go with "not age well" in the years since this video was released.
14 people have their ashes scattered on the wind
Puts a great big smile on my face and tears in my eyes all at once, Chavo was great!
Latest episode of Lucha Underground continues the Legend of Chavo Classic. AWESOME!
Rest in Power Chavo
I don't know what it is about seeing Chavo Classic with the Big Gold Belt but its beautiful. Rest in Power Chavo Classic.
Chavo is the man 👏👏👏
This is one of the best music videos I've ever seen. A great song from a great album!
Rest In Peace Chavo
Damn Chavo Sr. Now talk about a cool experience when your growing up seeing him as a hero and then getting to do something with him
Omg I didn't know there was a video! And he's spoofing CM Punk my favorite 🤣🤣
Do I have everybodys attention now? ❤
Thank you Chavo! May you sleep peacefully.
This is such a running riot of humility as hilarity, thank you for reminding us about innocence and perception
How the hell did he get my VHS?
I would love to see Chavo Guerrero Jr come out to this song in all elite wrestling happened but please make it happen
You know your a great lyricist when you can write a song about your child hood wrestling hero- and it be a good song. way to go!
This is awesome! I love the song and this video is just perfect.
that was amazing. JD is amazing. they are all so amazing
I take so much inspiration from JD. Not in the same way Guerrero inspired him back then--I guess for me that would have been Michael Stipe or a few of my own 80's WWF heroes--but rather that, after umpteen albums, he's made one of his best ever with 'Beat the Champ'. Seriously genius songwriting. 'Unmasked!' is my favorite off the album, so few can write like that. It's nice to think that we actually get better at whatever our passion is. "It's real sweet to grow old..."
Wrestling With Wregret sent me here, and I'm glad he did, this song is just awesome
The only bad thing about this song is that it's too short
rest in power
Come on Corddry!
RIP Chavo Classic
I also like the tribute where John Darnielle is impersonating CM Punk around the 1:12 mark
This song makes me so nostalgic remember watching wrestling as a kid still do today man its real sweet to grow old
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
lol Joey Ryan and Ray Rosas
Joey Ryan are you from Denver Joey Ryan?
Love this album! Love this video! So amazing that got Chavo! Oh man I hope we get videos for Choked Out, Foreign Object, and Heel Turn!!!
So amazing
RIP Chavo :(
Abraca Debra and the Log Boys always get me on this video.
Rest In Peace Chavo. :(
RIP Chavo :'(
RIP Chavo
Rest in peace, Chavo Guerrero. Sr.
sad that it took the passing of Chavo Guerrero to find this song. at least Eddie has some company now.
"It's real sweet to grow old."
Most touching pop song I've ever heard.
+JC Olsen This is not a pop song, It's indie,
Nice.
THERE'S A MUSIC VIDEO?!?!
Coolest music video!
I can't get over how awesome this is! And John looks so buff! LOVE
This video makes me so happy.
