This is one of those albums that are timeless, meaning they apply to every age of society. Another way to say it is that Operation Ivy's lyrics can be applied to our lives no matter our situations.
played bass in a band in high school... we covered this, take warning, and the crowd. man i havent listened to op ivy in years. what the hell was i thinking?! brings me right back to those good ol days.
There's gonna come a day where his lyrics and warnings have all but become prophetic visions of our dystopian future. God help us because shit is going to get crazy this decade.
I always only knew little bits of the lyrics since Jesse is such an amazing singer, and sorta got an idea of him talking about this climate of shittiness around him. But now that I read the lyrics here (after listening to the song for eleven years) it is even better than I thought!
This was a favorite song to play when we'd drive to go skiing in Colorado. When the chorus plays, we'd turn the heat to AC and roll down the windows and sing along. There was a serious freeze up when we did that!
This lyrics to this song originally said "it's 1988 ,get up and take a look around". But because of the run around they got and time it took during the production they changed it to "Its 1989". And the rest is history........
This song has historical quality that is both enlightening and depressing at the same time. 1989, the rise of silicon valley. The tech industry thought they could bring people together, but all of this has only added more avenues for disagreement and division. The freeze up has happened, if only we could find the warmth to thaw it
It's 2019 stand up and take a look around Weathers bitter tension it seems is sinking down Drunk with power and fighting one another Every hour shows the winter getting harder There's a freeze up coming
I like videos of songs like this I grew up loving. you really get to see how ignorant and misinformed the kids are these days just by reading the comments.
gregformercy I’m a kid but I forgive you because that’s true. There are a bunch of people arguing in the comment section of a song about how you should not do that. People should just listen to the song
this is the only operation ivy song that i would personally change the lyrics, line 4 of the 2nd verse in my opinion should be, We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and obey, instead of conquer and invade
this song is still relevant 23 years after 1989.
"nothing can be changed except ourselves"
we're still frozen in that we haven't changed a thing.
Never will, humanity is scum
Of that i Am the A-#1 Duke of new York Exemplar
Still relevant 32 years later. OPivy is timeless
How do u think we can change things?
@@blacksludgetoxapex5035 no doubt.right?
Back in the day when Subway punched 5 of the 6 slots on your card:
“There’s a free sub.”
“There’s a free sub coming.”

Nothing can be changed expect ourselves.... Freeze up coming
I remember listening to this when I was a kid thinking he was saying "there's some free stuff coming". 😂
"Set in our way content with our decay, We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invade"
I thought it was conquer and obey
@@voodoosurf3164 wouldn't make much sense though would it?
My favorite Operation Ivy song...and still dangerously true-to-life...

Life skateboards. John reeves and the Donger. One of my fav sections of all time.
Absolutely! Best shared part in a skate video ever.

I started listening to these guys 14 years ago and still dig them just like the first time I ever heard them.

Course of human progress staggers like a drunk, it's steps are slow and heavy and their minds are slow and blunt...

Like holy fuck...to be speaking of silicon valley like that in 1989 is just....mindboggling.
eternally grateful to my dad for showing me Operation Ivy
Still bumpin this 2012!
THERE'S A FRIEZA, THERE'S A FRIEZA COMMING!

always loved the raw sound of this song
This is the greatest song ofall time. No matter what anyone says. I mean just read the lyrics, that says it all
@JoseR0821 you're damn right man. in 1989, jesse words were prophetic and actual at the very same time.
It's 2019 stand up and take a look around
Weathers bitter tension it seems is sinking down
Drunk with power and fighting one another
Every hour shows the winter getting harder
There's a freeze up coming
High school all over again
I hate to think it, but possibly someday subway might use this song for their comercials.
WTF
Thank you! I've been wanting to learn the lyrics for some time.
22 years later and still going strong
33 years later and still going strong
It’s here.

Happy 55th birthday Jesse Michaels!

this is the only operation ivy song that i would personally change the lyrics, line 4 of the 2nd verse in my opinion should be, We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and obey, instead of conquer and invade
@fd95117 i just think conquer and invade have the same basic meaning, but people are following them without question, and giving support
