Lyrics:
Start wearing purple wearing purple
Start wearing purple, for me now
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish
I promise, it's just a matter of time
So yeah start wearing purple wearing purple
Start wearing purple, for me now
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish
I promise, it's just a matter of time
I know you since you were a twenty and I was twenty
But thought that some years from now
A purple little little lady will be perfect
For dirty old and useless clown
So yeah, start wearing purple wearing purple!
Start wearing purple for me now!
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish,
I promise, it's just a matter of time!
I know it all from Diogenis to Foucault
From Lozgechkin to Paspartu
I ja kljanus obostzav dva paltza
Schto muzika…

I used to DJ weddings and I would always play this song once everyone's had a few drinks, it never failed to get the party going
What a great idea!! Lol
Could be the drink
This is the song we requested to transition from the wedding to our reception, its a great wedding song LOL
That's an... interesting choice for a wedding.
:cosin:
"It's one of the very few songs I wrote for a girl. I just moved in with my girlfriend in New York. We had a neighbour: an old woman who was always dressed in purple head to toe. She was clearly bonkers. So whenever my girlfriend and I had an argument and she would start screaming at me, I would say: you might as well start wearing purple now."
-Gogol Bordello
*-Eugene Hutz
Thank you! My daughter just asked what this song means, so I started looking, and see your explanation. Now we know!!!
Been listening to this song for years and had no idea what the point was, but I love it. That is absolutely hilarious, and defintely something I would do/say! Love it, man!
@@juliaistominaoden5801 I always took it as "Embrace insanity for me." or "Let's be crazy together." "Purple" is also used to describe writing that's over the top and florid. So I look at it as symbolizing insanity and self-indulgence. I think it's the idea of letting loose and being yourself in a relationship.
Thats just so perfect😅
My cousin and I got a noise complaint because we were blasting this and stomping around his apartment at 3am. 10/10 would recommend.
I stole a bike and sang this song at 3 am on my way home. It was glorious!
That's hilarious I can just picture that. Perfect! 🤣
You are my kind of people
Mos2.energy 42 can’t stand a thief
How are ya doing one year later? Come rad.
I have been wearing purple for the last 20years. I get lots of good comments which make me feel good. I have just found this song. I am 80years young.xx love it
My lovely older neighbour Lavender only wears Purple.
Personally I don't think I have any pure clothes.😢
You are the meaning of the song
Saw Gogol Bordello in DC last week :D During the whole thing it felt like I was continuously going to burst with happiness. The concert ended and the whole band went offstage and out of sight but we, the entirety of the audience, we wouldn't budge! We were like vultures and we wanted MORE Gogol Bordello. The band walked back in one by one, booze in hand, with Eugene declaring "we could go on all night." I lost all sense of time but if i'm not mistaken they gave us almost an extra hour!!! It was a truly remarkable night. Thank you members of Gogol Bordello. Would attend again and again and again.
+Saleh Alarfaj I get to see em at BottleRock on the 29th. Going for Chili Peppers, but looking up unknown artists on the lineup and OMG!... totally digging this!
you, lucky dude...
Saw them years ago at the 930 club in DC. It was one of the most balls-out, insane, fun, (drunk) concerts I've ever been to. I don't say this about a lot of bands, but I'd go see them anywhere, anytime, even if it was a street corner.
they did the same thing when I saw them in LA my friend's seen them almost a dozen times and she said they do that all the time
they also updated are tickets to right in front of the stage
Hutz says the song is about a crazy neighbor he once had while living
with his then-girlfriend. The neighbor was an old lady who used to dress
in purple head-to-toe. According to Hutz, the woman was "clearly
bonkers." When Hutz and his girlfriend had an argument, the girlfriend
would scream and Hutz would respond by saying "you might as well start
wearing purple now."
Thank you for explaining! haha I just thought this guy was crazy. I have a dance class and we're learning a choreography to this song and it was really curious to me so I looked it up lol
A nutty woman in my hometown only wore purple and even had a purple bike.
I wonder if the lady's name was Florence Zimmerman lol. Let me know if you get this reference.
If this is true, this is awesome! :D
Also how times change, now Twitch Partners are the ones wearing purple, and are acting crazy fro views.
True story???
Played this at my wedding, all my groomsmen came out with purple scarves and hats and crap and we stormed the dance floor, it was great!
Hahaha wonderful! Is there any video on youtube?
Your wedding sounds like it was fun. Try an Indian wedding, or a Jewish one; they're a blast
@@MartianInDisguise Do you expect him to get divorced? XD with such a sense of humor and musical taste, she will stay with him to the grave lol
@@10hawell have you sent the divorce rates through covid? Bet he hates life lol
@@Daplin1 I had good food and good lovin on tap. Lockdown was great ;)
I started to wear purple because of this song. Changed my life. 👍
RIP Steve Albini, this album is one of his producer credits.
You really have to see them live to truly appreciate. Their energy is off the charts!! So much going on all at once
I agree so much
I saw them last summer and they blew the crowd away. It was my favorite part of Riot Fest, which I really didn't want to go to, but they made the day 5000 kajillion times better.
One of the best nights of my life for sure! London was lit up in a gypsy frenzy!
I went to Ireland on a class trip (originally from America).
One night, my friends and I visited a small set of islands called the Erin Islands. There was a festival going on. We were drunk. My friend pulls out a Ukulele and we start singing Start Wearing Purple.
The locals took a liking to us for this and joined in a bit.
My sister went a year later. Asked about us. The locals said they remembered us fondly for it
Your country I liiikkkkeeeee!
My SISTER, SHE EEZ MA WIFE!!!!
Great memory for you
I wish. I wish i could.
Aran islands
Just discovered this band on CBC Radio 1. LOVE these guys!! What a fun band! New fave.
Eugene Hutz, The lead singer and song writer of Gogol Brodello is a genius. He is absolutely incredible on stage. The entire band is awesome as well. I've watched a couple interviews of Eugene and even his English is very articulate, expressive, and enunciated. He has said his music and song writing is his religion. When you see him perform it comes straight from the heart.
And his brother is a miniature genius.
Sorry about that, I just think that everything is illuminated is probably one of my favorite movies
The whole band blends well.
Just saw this was uploaded 15 years ago. That doesn’t make me feel old, that makes me want to connect my phone to a battery bank and blast it through my PA speakers nonstop all day and all night
I love unique music. This definitely fits the parameters. Completely forgot about these guys, so glad I’m back on the right track. 😉
I love playing this song at open mic nights, jam sessions, anyplace I can get a bunch of musicians together. It's a two-chord song, fun as heck, and ANYBODY can solo wildly over that chorus vamp. One time at a convention I started with my fiddle and a buddy with a kazoo, and by the end of it we had a purple conga-line weaving through three ballrooms.
I come back to this video every few years. It's always as good as when I first heard it.
Same here.
same. for what seems like a decade
gypsy punk is the coolest thing ever!! i love it!
Everything is Illuminated!
Perfect song to sing while your drunk!
trust me it is! XDD i love getting Wasthammered to these guys
Luke Martin
I just lost my voice last weekend cuz of this song...
all songs of these guys are amazing to get drunk or sing while are drunk
kkkk
***** אח שלייייי אני לא רוסי אבל
i sing this in class. (while sober)
Best live band ever. Saw them maybe 7 times. Never disappoints!
Mad funs tuff!!
So proud I get to cover this amazing song with the JMU dukes
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'Daisy' is a good song by him.
This song is such a trip with nice headphones.
+Kyle Olsen I don't know man, I prefer blasting it out of my cellphone speaker.
+tokington you monster!!
The only wrong way to listen to this song is with the volume at 50% or less
ur right !

WHY CANT I STOP LISTENING TO THIS?
Zachary Wolf gypsy magic duh
Zachary Wolf I know what you mean haha
its so bad
I have been turning people on to this. I say it is infectious, and contagious. They are of greatness in their own rights. Every one is like how do you know who they are.
Indeed one of the best songs of the modern times, they're actually be one song that will ring out throw the ages of time
There is nothing better than hearing this played over the loudspeaker system after another pathetic Minnesota Vikings loss. Heard it years ago and could not believe it. I sang as loud as I could. I was so happy to hear this band, I forgot about the loss.
This band has uniqueness, charisma and talent
I love this song! "Everything is illuminated" brought me here!
This is national treasure, i swear to God.
|-/
+memes and tøp |-/
For which nation?
@@terrydavenport48 for the nation of cast outs all around the globe 🤘
You don't have to be drunk to appreciate the soul of Eugene Hutz and his amazing musicians!!!
Nah but it helps
I always felt this should be used in a joker intoduction scene. From.beginning untill just after the drop and something significant should happen between drop and second build up.
this band is friggin INCREDIBLE live! One of the best I've ever seen!
They played at my uni but sadly at the time I didn't know them :(
Saw em with Devotchka in like 2010. Fan-damn-tastic
makes me want to drink and dance and forget about tomorrow
There is no such thing as tomorow!! And never has been.
Liev Schreiber was genius in casting Eugene in, Everything Is Illuminated. I love that this song played over the end credits.
Still the best concert I’ve ever been to. Thank you Gogol Bordello
one of the best live bands I've ever seen. 1000% party 👍👍
OKAY, OKAY, I WILL!!!
Our teacher was playing this on the last day of school and it was a blast!
Now THAT'S a send-off! Go forth and wear purple! 🤪💜
This song makes me smile
I remember being younger and loving this song when it first came out, 2005ish, my mother thought it was stupid that i love it...fast forward 5 years later and my brother comes and tells me about a "great new band" he found. Fuck you bro! i saw it first! :D
ok boomer
Loki your poor mother must be living in hell 😂😂
@@DH_Artist do you think we should mention captain beefheart? 🤔😂
@@RuzGaming lol me and Loki are old 💁🏻♀️
Heard this song while reading the credits for the movie:EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED. The movie blew me away. Such humor combined with such a serious story. Liev Schrieber wrote the screenplay from the novel and directed it. Absolutely brilliant. If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to do so. As for this song, it wants to make this 65yr old women get up and dance, and to wear purple.
really great movie
Good to know i'm not the only one
this is how a true slav party starts.
They're Roma(Gypsy)
There's no true slav party without Verka Serduchka, Zibrov and Gogol Bordello
@@antonioalbul00 singer is Ukrainian (Slav)
@@antonioalbul00 i have gypsy in my country and they are not roma. And they are very rude, stupid and bad.. i an not racist. Just saying by what they do. But u know. There are worser people
And ends.
I miss this period of life. Good times!
Gogol Bordello is one of the top best shows I’ve ever been to. So glad these guys exist😍
My dad was pretty food friends with Eugene Hutz in Vermont in the 90s back before Gogol Bordello. He apparently still has some demo tapes of unreleased songs Eugene gave him.
I've seen a lot of people wearing purple today, and I immediately thought of this song, and now I'll have to listen to it over and over all day.
I play guitar. mostly old school rock and blues.
my daughter started learning guitar, years ago.
we used to share things that we were listening to.
she shared this with me, and I cannot get it out of my head.
love it.
Heard this for the first time a few years back when they supported greenday at Hyde Park been one of my favourite songs since
Love this song! Was introduced to it during a DnD campaign. Then watched Everything is Illuminated and just cannot recommend that movie enough!
She is deranged, but so so playful!
(my motto for living)
Been a fan of Gogol Bordello since 2005 or so and this is still my 2nd favorite song of theirs, fucking awesome band
I can't quit listening to these guys. Everything they do is great but I love the feel of their acoustic sets.
Did you ever see them sing with Madonna live laista bonita pretty damn good
at no point in the video did anyone where purple
That's why he kept telling them to start
I could swear it is a form of saying "start drinking and getting drunk as hell". That's what I understood from the song.
mascot Its about a crazy old neighbor he used to have. She always wore purple. So as a joke whenever his girlfriend would say something crazy or irrational he'd tell her she might as well start wearing purple now.
purple's my favorite color. i can confirm it makes you crazy.
mascot maybe purple its a reference for wine
First song I've heard by these guys. Pretty damned good
My friends and I were in a bar sponsored drinking olympics and this was our theme song that carried us to victory. The prize was the free booze during the event and a stupid piece of driftwood. Great fucking night.
this is the best song ever written
Watched these guys at Glastonbury festival years back. Kicked the day off perfectly stomping about in the mud 👌
My boys used to sing this to me when they were little. I love this so much!
LOVE
gogol concert was so amazing.
This was the 'the lights are coming on" at a rock club I used to frequent as a teen
I'm glad someone made that mashup with The Count.
This song is a banger. I remember having it on a warp tour album when I was younger. Played it on repeat
I remember hearing this on the radio in Pittsburgh back in 2000 and change.
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'Daisy' is a good song by him.
If you're going to flip shit to something, this is it
So proud, my 10 year old son asked his friends parents to play this in their car. They are straighty one eighties, and they were suitably traumatised 😂😂
i've been unreasonably obsessed with purple my whole life. why did i only just find this now???? love!!!
Everything is Illuminated
Just saw them live for the first time on Saturday. It was sooooo fun and high tempo.
I love Gogol Bordello... see one day singing in Portugal
Wow does this bring back loads of good memories.
a person in school let me listen to his music this was when i was in secondary school , i always wanted to hear this song again, so i ask him many years later since then ive been listening to gogol bordello!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THEM LOVE YOU GUYS
Good old days
I just love this. Loud and lairy!
this song does not get old!
I smiled all the concert. Thank you!
I want to have Gogol Bordello to play at my wedding. This is now mandatory.

Best show I have ever seen The good energy is off the charts.
One of my all time favorite bands, saw several times live. Those were the days.
quarantine gogol.... was here 11 years ago too
My dad is always playing these teasing me (my favorite color is purple) and saying he’s just playing his new favorite song
My coworker sent this to me....my entire room is purple. I feel so attacked
a couple of hundred years ago it would have been illegal to use the color purple, it was reserved for nobility like kings and emporers, originally it was because of the price that only nobility could afford it but then they decided to own it, it was about the hardest dye to make, it came from a tiny gland on an already tiny mollusk. So if you ever see really old paintings of noblemen they will probably be wearing something purple like a cloak, and you will see earth tones on the majority of other people
Correct. Purple dye still actually comes from crushed beetles
Purple (or violet) is actually the highest color on the visible spectrum. its the color you wear if you want to be noticed. It is also the color that represents hope
Oh shit, I haven't heard this song in nearly forever! Really takes me back to my art school days, big nostalgia trip. RUclips does it right sometimes.
jordan peterson wow! i can see him smiling and dancing in his blue suite from here :)
i love this so much
Love the chaotic energy!
Drunk but wearing purple. You are king's
I’m here from my English teacher. This is her alarm.
Raddest teacher ever
Dude, this is so good
I was at a festival. I lost all my friends (that's something I do every festival).
I walked into a big tent and Gogol Bordello (I never heard of them before) was playing this song!
I could not help myself and started dancing! Then I saw this woman and she was also dancing alone.
So I asked her: "Mylady, do you want to dance?"
And we danced like there was no one watching!
There was no one watching. You were a pair of muppets dancing in a tent.
Brilliant
Everything is Illuminated purple when I hear this song
I love this song so much
слушаю эту песню каждый день
и знаете что ?
хочется ещё и ещё :-)
ахахв, понимаю. :)))
жиза) тоже ее обожал. ну и в караоке часто пою)
The most energetic concerts ever!!
Fav song
30 years in America, still the accent is so strong =)))
I believe that's on purpose ))
THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER MADE AND IT WILLLL BE THE ONE ON MY FUNERAL 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜EVERYBODY IS INVITED AND MAX QUALITY DRINK WILL BE AVAILABLE. MOST OF YOU DO NOT DESERVE IT BUT I FORGIVE NON THE LESS.
I miss having this CD, brings back great memories! Wish I had a press of this
Saw these guys at beautiful days, they were the best act of the entire festival 💜💜💜
