@@jmitch623 this is my theme song when i have business in a bad part of town . Where fetty addicts wander the streets like Michael jackson thriller video
One of the wittiest songs in a long time. Damn this is such a great observational piece. I remember when that dude tried to go to the island and met his arrow filled fate..... One of my favorite songs ive ever listened to.
Even tho this seems like a goofy kind of band when you listen to the Instruments and how they flow together you realise how professional this band actually is . Keep up the great work your show in Sydney was the best music event I have ever been to in my life
Some context: the song references North Sentinel Island, which is technically part of India's Andaman Islands, but is in effect a sovereign island under Indian protection whose residents - the Sentinelese - are known for violently resisting any attempts at outsider contact and are quite possibly the last truly uncontacted people on the planet. In the fall of 2018 some fucking missionary idiot by the name of John Chau attempted to visit the island in order to convert the Sentinelese to Christianity, but - surprise, surprise - he got his stupid ass killed in the process. A summary: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese#Death_of_a_missionary_(2018)
Sebastian Murphy: What if we brought an indigenous violent tribe drugs instead of Bibles? The rest of Viagra Boys: No Sebastian that's a terrible idea! Sebastian Murphy: But it'd make a good song! VB: You're right!
I came here from a comment on my video talking about how Sentinel Island could very likely avoid this entire Corona-chan outbreak without ever knowing it even occurred, and I'm pretty pleased to be brought here. Slappin' tune, yo.
Just found you guys today and I'm fucking amazed. Keep doing what your doing and don't fix what's not broken, they haven't made em like you since the mid 80's.
[Verse 1] I'm floatin’ down the river In my rubber canoe I brought you chicken dinners Blessed by Jesus and his crew I came here to show you (I came here to show you) My computer and my shoes (My computer and my shoes) But you shot me with an arrow (But you shot me with an arrow) That wasn't really cool (That wasn't really cool) [Chorus] I’m goin' to the island of the Sentinels I'll bring you lots of heroin and fentanyl They told me I'm not welcome, man, but what the hell? I hope somehow my death was a little bit meaningful Ah [Verse 2] Well, life here on the island They live a life of violence But once they read my Bible They'll know how to live like you and I do Wanna teach them how to party and teach them how to drive But they shot me up with arrows, now I think I'm gonna die I think I'm gonna die, man [Chorus] Goin' to the island of the Sentinels I’ll bring you lots of heroin and fentanyl They told me I’m not welcome, man, but what the hell? I hope somehow my death was a little bit meaningful [Outro] I'm goin’ to the island of the Sentinels I'm goin' to the island of the Sentinels I'll see you on the island of the Sentinels I’m goin' to the island of the Sentinels
I listened to this song, and I got a type of feeling and ideas from the sounds and words of it. This video gives me the same feelings and pushes the same ideas even closer the forefront of my mind while it's playing. That's really well done.
@@alaskawashere7037 Na, it is fair to say they are. Just keep checking out their shit, what they got goin on is not happening anywhere else, with all they're drawing from in influences too... Holy fucking fuck! How they do it all I just can't yet fathom.
@@scrye-craft9274 You do present a valid point. I do have a hard time finding bands to compare their sound to. Their originality is a huge part of whats drawn me to them so far.
No, I think it's more like a joke on what Viagra Boys would've done in place of that kooky American missionary who DID try to bring religion to North Sentinel Island.
Its literally about going to Sentinel Island with a slightly better plan the last lot, I assume you know about that place if not, get reading its got a great story, albeit pretty dark.
@@stxsurgeon8961 why does their opinion on blm matter when the song is about christians attempting to colonialize people who want nothibg to do with them????

Very rarely have i listened to a new indie band over and over again like a high-schooler at 35 thanks i wanna see these guys live
I did. Good.
I'm 40, same story.
45 and I'm doing it until my ears bleed.
Listening every day

They're exquisite, serious musicians. Every instrument complements the others as music should be.
it's almost like Brian Jonestown Massacre if they tuned their guitars and synced up
@@alexx9433 musically speaking, their timing is impeccable
Jealous, I suspect they're twice as good live
@@DjangoWineHeart they really are the show in Sydney was fucking amazing

Thank you for this insight. I didn't realise it was such a well thought out concept, these lyrics. How come you know about this?
@@Jakke13 It's pretty well known, I think. If you read the news, it was pretty widely talked about when that missionary died.
Indeed! True story!

Brought me here too!
Not just coronavirus lol they've most likely missed the majority of pandemics and plagues we have had.
this man sing with a soul i love this song
Wow another amazing song from VB's and what a real world story and legend that is Sentinel island.
Just found you guys today and I'm fucking amazed. Keep doing what your doing and don't fix what's not broken, they haven't made em like you since the mid 80's.
😂 since ever
V Boys can do no wrong. Keep up the rad work fellas. Get your asses to the states sometime.
Saw them in NYC last summer with surfbort opening it was an amazing show one of the best ive seen. Nice name by the way.
They’ll be at Coachella, but who wants to go to that shit,
I think they're playing Shaky Knees in Atlanta this May
@american ruse yessum

Those shrimp boy engineers sure did a good job with this one fellas.
Holy shit, this is a masterpiece.
awesome piece of art, freaking awesome!
[Verse 1]
I'm floatin’ down the river
In my rubber canoe
I brought you chicken dinners
Blessed by Jesus and his crew
I came here to show you (I came here to show you)
My computer and my shoes (My computer and my shoes)
But you shot me with an arrow (But you shot me with an arrow)
That wasn't really cool (That wasn't really cool)
[Chorus]
I’m goin' to the island of the Sentinels
I'll bring you lots of heroin and fentanyl
They told me I'm not welcome, man, but what the hell?
I hope somehow my death was a little bit meaningful
Ah
[Verse 2]
Well, life here on the island
They live a life of violence
But once they read my Bible
They'll know how to live like you and I do
Wanna teach them how to party and teach them how to drive
But they shot me up with arrows, now I think I'm gonna die
I think I'm gonna die, man
[Chorus]
Goin' to the island of the Sentinels
I’ll bring you lots of heroin and fentanyl
They told me I’m not welcome, man, but what the hell?
I hope somehow my death was a little bit meaningful
[Outro]
I'm goin’ to the island of the Sentinels
I'm goin' to the island of the Sentinels
I'll see you on the island of the Sentinels
I’m goin' to the island of the Sentinels
grazie

Quiet Village bass line. Brilliant.
Such a great song and it deserves way more views
it deserves a video that doesn't have a room full of random jabronis talking over it
Love this band
the greatest band that will ever exist.
I'm into it but come on now

@@alaskawashere7037 they got an almost Talking Heads kinda vibe in some songs, but their range is ridiculous
Best band in a decade or two, anyway.
the bass is so good
did i just miss the most important speech ever given by a human being, or not?
can't decide which song is the master piece
Already some bangers
This band is unspeakably great
this hits hard
Now that is music!

This should have been on the latest album
Lets go to the island.

Isnt that the dude out of the band?😳 superb band!🤘👌
Are they making a new album?
This shit really makes all of life's slop really slide...
Please drop a full album
I’m 60 years old and I love this band. Of course I grew up on The Sex Pistols and The Clash. These guys remind me of a more melodic Butthole Surfers.

Is this the story of John Allen Chau?
Gotta be.

Now, That's SAX.
Chicken in the corn bassline :D
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Damn, finally a new song. You guys been too busy playing sports or something????
+1 for chicken dinner.
whats that genre?
that's a great joke... tell me a-more
As usual......fucking A!
so i think the heroin and fentanyl is a metaphor for religion, "opium of the people" as Karl Marx called it, or "opiate of the masses"
I really don't think it's a metaphor lol. Not that he actually went to sentinel island with a bunch of heroin and fentanyl lol
No, I think it's more like a joke on what Viagra Boys would've done in place of that kooky American missionary who DID try to bring religion to North Sentinel Island.
Most of their lyrics seem to be about exactly what you think they're about. Add meaning as you see fit. Lick The Bag?
@First Munch sober up and try to write that another day
Its literally about going to Sentinel Island with a slightly better plan the last lot, I assume you know about that place if not, get reading its got a great story, albeit pretty dark.
I can't lie I was hoping this was about x-men
😑🤘
Häll ut en för John Allen Chau. Också känd som "JC".
I brought you chicken dinners blessed by Jesus and his crew
So this douchebag with sunglasses is the new english Luca Prodan? Sounds very good, btw.
Im
Arctic Monkeys riff?
which song?
Please for the love of God repost this video without the fucking stock footage and audio. This is an amazing song and this tripe ruins it.
After all that #blm and g.floyde nonesense the song gets a new meaning (or was it THE IDEA of the track from the beginning?)
...what? How on earth are you making that connection? Do you know what Sentinel Island is?
@@viljamtheninja yo dude chill. Im juss sayin. whats the bands view on #blm shit? Whadaya think?
