    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…

    "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."

      @@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.

    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.

    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."

    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.

    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

    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.

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.

    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

      It is the color of royalty and is illegal to wear in some countries.

      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

    • @chrisjames6327
      @chrisjames6327 3 года назад

      Correct. Purple dye still actually comes from crushed beetles

    Many moons ago, I was on Yahoo! Messenger and saw a small emoji of abominable snowman (i think) that sang the lyrics "start wearing for me now!" Then, i forget how, but years later, my brother and I heard this song. And everything made much more sense after that moment. That was 10-11 years ago. This song is still AMAZGIN!
