@@benewgillian6823 I miss it too. I miss as a child watching this at 11:30pm every week day on channel 28 (Fox), even though it was a school night and I should have been in bed. Except Friday nights and in the summer of course 🤣.
Islam Safarov the orininal singer who sang this died a few years back, they still perform with a new singer, and that is who you're thinking of. You're the one getting confused here, he's fucking dead, get over it. Fuck
Among the many brilliant things about this album the best to me is the bass and drum combo. I am a bass player and absolutely love the way this guy plays but if I were a drummer I would not be able to resist playing along with the entire album.
This song was a novelty for a lot of people but it's actually pretty dark and deep. I think it's about child abuse and the chorus reflects the kids keeping their mouths shut about it (or making up different stories to explain it). However, I could just be reading WAYYYYY into it. Lol
@@daveydudely9954 @davey dudely Anything that makes sound is a tool for making music. It doesn't define if you have heart or not. If you don't like the pop music of today that's fine. There is so much to discover that isn't in the mainstream.
The group changed the words for the Arsenio Hall gig. Instead of the boy and the church floor, it was a story about tonsils. Still a beautiful piece of work.
I think part of it has to do with the fact that, "afternoons and coffee spoons" was never to my knowledge in any big movies like this one was (Dumb & Dumber).
freakin' love this song ------------- simple and pleasing ----------- love it when the lead singer and keyboard player do their duets ---------- over 25 years old already ------------- time flies!
The Crash Test Dummies were the first concert I ever saw at Massey Hall in Toronto and I remember them sounding a lot like their CD and it was a VERY good concert! Great venue too!!
Comentario en español! Cuando aún los cantantes eran compositores y te presentaban su arte con mucha dedicación, realmente cantaban. Cero autotune, solo talento de verdad. Me encanta la voz grave de Brad Roberts, es muy poderosa. La escuché y me fascinó. Escuché muchas de sus canciones, revisé su discografia y quede encantada. Muy buena música de los 90's que trasciende. Y pasarán décadas y este tipo de música será clásica!! 💜👌🏼
Leyendo comentarios me encuentro con uno que es lo mismo que pienso... Antes como ahora, en un grupo la voz es lo primordial y si en un concierto se va la luz!!???!??!?!?!' pues seria un desastre con tanto autotune y demás efectos que le agregan hoy en dia. A Brad le das una guitarra y te canta igual (Sin reverb ni amplificación) pero seguro que sonará igual.
Este señor tenía un timbre que con el aire armónico y folky suena descomunal. Me he acordado de este grupo por la voz.. Mientras escuchaba a type o negative.. Poco tienen que ver, pero ambos cantantes tenían unas cualidades y una sonoridad única o muy peculiar.. A gustos.. Dese luego.. Buenísimos los dummies
@@marjolein6391 Something about a boy wanting keep his tonsils in a jar and then his mom throwing them away...lol strange but I think it fits the song as none of the versus are linked to each other.
I might be dumb, but was that an added lyric? About the Tonsils? Did they do this because the last bit was about the church and they got censored and had to change that part at the end?
I bought this amazing bands first two albums back in the day and that was the end, For some reason I checked them out again last week and done some decent research into them, Thanks to you Bacchus, I have stumbled upon many of their live material, I liked them very much in the 90's, I am now trying to track down everything they have done, By the way, How gorgeous is Ellen Reid ?? Thanks for the huge work you do in bringing these underrated geniuses to the masses, Thankyou again Bacchus
+Joel Wallenius Brad was bored to tears of being repeating and repeating the same version every time (don't forget the intensive playback at radio stations...) so he arranged a new set of lyrics so the people would get a "different" song than the one in the album. Appears he was really happy with that.
Joel Wallenius - I wonder if there wasn't another possible reason for that, such as the possibility that some people who would be labeled "religious" (maybe even Arsenio himself) may consider that third verse a mis-characterization of some Christian church worship practices? Personally, I've always felt this song would have been better if the words matched the mood of the music. They seem to be at odds with each other, but that's just me. Still love this song.
smilinachya I think you may be right about Arsenio. Did you see his face when he said the name of the album? God Shuffled his Feet. He probably asked them to change the lyrics at the end!
2023 here. I wonder if they opted for the changed 3rd verse because some American viewers might have been super uncomfortable with the fact that in the original song it is pretty obvious that the kid in the story was not on board with his weird Pentecostal parents.
At that time I was going through difficult situations in my life, but that song gave me happiness. I didn't know what it was about ... but that didn't matter, I was glad to hear it. I love this song. Bogota Colombia.
Seoul Korea 2019.... This song reminds me of travel memory at County Sligo in Ireland 1995... while I was driving Hertz Car from Dublin ,listening from Radio FM.. and I bought CD in Tower record London ,,still I keep it,,
@@carvinblack I guess it depends on the bass player and the band or the venue. Every bass player I've ever known won't stare 800 watt stacked cab right behind them there may be a direct input from the cab to the PA somewhere but I guarantee you that bass players got something behind him he's listening to. Honestly the bass player's the only one that has a little bit of free rein in this song I just uploaded a rough draft version of me doing this song and the guitar pretty straightforward not a lot of room for any type of improvising it's pretty much driving the Rhythm with the piano and also did upload a good enough final version of the B side of this single Superman song anybody gives a s*** and wants to hear somebody that can't f****** sing play and sing it in their living room it's on my Channel with the rest of my living room guitar player crap. My days of dreaming of forming a band and touring and making it big or long behind me.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is a gem. Amazing lyrics….harmonious vocals….music could be my favorite aspect of their sound. So unique.
Well, Brad said in a few interviews it's about outcasts, that's what ties all the lil composite stories. I think once you suffer through child abuse, you do feel like an outsider. "One kid had it worse than that"....I'm sure that's the lyric that strikes a chord with folks. Back in the 90s, DV was just getting into the public eye/getting talked about regularly.....so it make sense, for sure.
When I was 12 years old I was with my BF at Olive Garden eating with my family one night , There was a sound waves across the hwy, me and my and buddy snuck out the restaurant and walked to the sound waves store and bought the Crash test dummies tape. that was around 1993 I still have that same tape. Cool memory.
Me too! I was already in my 20’s when this song came out. It’s a very kind and sweet song that speaks for kids who know they’re different and trying to find their way.
Es un deleite, osea un placer del ánimo y de los sentidos... Y que mejor aún oírla con audífonos y los ojos cerrados... 🎶 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm...🎶 Y es un grande Brad con su voz bajo-barítono 🤙🏼
That is so funny every time I ever listen to this song I always hear Lloyd screaming the same thing after the second verse. And totally redeemed yourself!!

It'll always sound amazing.
Give some credit to the beautiful girl on the piano and background vocals.
That bass line is unreal
That whole album, the bass is my favorite part. I know all the base lines like they are secondary melodies. Brilliant stuff.
Just found this video, and yes that bass line pops and is spot on.
The chord changes and the melody alone make this a masterpiece. Makes my neck hairs stand up. Love this song
These guys are from my hometown. I know all of them. Fantastic act, great people. Very intelligent.
I love Brad's facial expressions after some of his lines. As if to say, "Yeah, I pronounce words weird. Got a problem with that?"
lmao I'd never heard the tonsil verse before. That's the greatest thing anyone has ever written
I wonder if he didn't want to use the church verse because of the crowd
@@Thornspyre81 I was thinking the same thing. Just avoiding the drama. smart move
Tried to sing once.

It’s about childhood trauma and embarrassment. You’re close though 😊
A masterpiece of music...pure surrealism.

It's an alternative verse that Brad use to sing sometimes instead of the recorded one
I wonder if they didn't want to offend anyone back then. Now, of course, it's open season on Christians.
Never understood why "afternoons and coffee spoons" failed as a follow-up single. It was catchy as hell.
It's my favorite
@@uprightchoppers it's my favorite too.
I honestly think it was because it was too smart lyrically. In the days of the caveman could've charted higher, I think, haha
I think crash test dummies were underrated in general

I love this song. Brings me back to a great time in my life.
They replaced the Church verse with the tonsils verse. I wish they did both. The song is not too long.
I agree
