Captain Beefheart - Ice Cream for Crow (HIgh Resolution) 

Your raising her right!

@@scottthompson3493 She'd be 20 now.

@@scottthompson3493raised * her right 😂

now she is grown up (hope). but it is on thinking. it is not for children

Ice cream by day.... ice cream by night.... That's all I'd hear if I was 5. I would have danced in my pajamas for that too.😂

You're either weird or your not... if you try too hard, it's palpable.

1/100th would be alright by me, but I have lower standards.

to me it seems Don is normal and everybody else is weird

And genious too

He was outrageous. Did you know he made THE very first music video? It is in The MOMA, The Museum of Modern Art.

@kingthelstan854 Neat! Glad it had an audience somewhere

MTV is actually where I saw this video in the 80s.

@@paulyphonica Must have been one of the very few vids I missed back then

​@kingthelstan854the UK has always been more supportive of the good Captain than his own country.

not very AOR of MTV ..🤣🤣

+Mickster6988240 I think I had this song "figured out" once, but then I forgot.

Mickster6988240 - I like your description / analysis.

nice description dude :)

Nice simile.

best way to be ...welcome

G00d!

Non of us do. Welcome to the gang.🤡👍🏻

The good Captain has this effect on most Beefheart converts. Wait til you hear Big Eyed Beans From Venus, I'm Gonna Booglarise You, Bat Chain Puller & err most everything else. Wrote some good ballads as well. He has no equal.

@@johnarvanitis696 Lmao. Too much crows needs a scarecrow

your right

Yes this is a masterpiece

Oh yes. And if you listen to his stuff till it loses its shocking newness, his ideas seep into your own music in the most amazing way!

when you hear trout mask replica your heads gonna explode

Son of Son House, you might say

Once you get Beefheart. He always remains a favourite. I

Stoned Meadow of Doom!!!! I love your channel man!!! You upload so much bad ass music. Thanks

Agreed

the video leaves a bit to be desired but seeing as how it was made in 1982 , at the very start of the art form , im sure it was highly influential in many music vids made thereafter .

I won't argue with that. Amazing song!!!!

so basically the lyrics are made up gibberish? or have no real meaning.. he just makes it up as he goes along?

I care that you care

I quote the song all the time. Nobody ever gets it but they do get puzzled. I also like to quote from The Past Sure Is Tense. The whole album is great. One of his best. Maybe the best.

Sounds absolutely."Luverlyyyyy"...........

​@@NickRowsellme too ,.......

All Don's old mates were weird.........including his god daughter.......Polly jean.........brilliant though.........

Well his high school pal Frank Zappa was pretty cool too…I always think of them as being joined at the hip.

Wasn't much of a painter. I like some of his stuff but it's a little to rough and childlike.

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 - As a painter myself for over 65 years I know that's not what most of the art world thinks, and while "Primitivism" (rough and childlike) is still influential and important, he did not fit completely into any category because the music and paintings are personal, and specific to his artistic sensibilities. "But despite the perceived primacy of his paintings, Van Vliet was a locally famous artistic prodigy long before he was a musical icon. He began painting and sculpting at age three and gained local notoriety for his renderings of various animals. By age nine, Van Vliet won a children’s sculpting competition that would result in an apprenticeship with local tutor Agostinho Rodrigues who regarded the young Beefheart as truly gifted."

Don't listen to them Juho. Lots of people just don't get it. You are one of the lucky one's that do. Welcome to the Beefheart Appreciation Society.

😂 my older brother introduced me decades ago Holsey67 🇬🇧 I was about 13 tripping out still get flash backs.53 now

Same here. I use to sit in my car in high school in 1975 and try to get people to listen. Few ever survived a couple of takes.

"a music sheet" - this man's genius had no need for one. He had John French to do the borin stuff.

Just watched that last night. It was a great interview.

Mc Daniels I mean it is in the MoMA

There should be a Beefhaert museum

@@pietkonijn5522 It should be in the house where the Magic Band rehearsed Trout Mask.

@GuinnessandPizza I thought that's how David Blaine got aids

No it was spells and stuff

@@markmoreland9186 Yeah, he was a wizard.

Grandad was so awesome, hope you got to know that beautiful twisted, totally normal Man. Respect!!

good hustle

Hahahahahaahahaha

I saw blind faith in Hyde park........cos it was free.........an alternative gig was taking place........stupidly true,.......the Edgar Broughton Band.........sounding like Don...........back to the main gig.......Roy hàrper, Dave gilmour, John Paul Jones &...........as if by magickkkkkkk........Steve Broughton..........,l used to enjoy shopping wivmegirl, then...........

I got Astra Satellite TV and Yeh. I had a similar experience in about 1989/90 MTV Europe would play this a lot on a show called 120 Minutes. Was a great show.

Sifcell Le Noir - How very true. It's also one of my favorite lines from the good doctor.

Good night Austin Texas, wherever you are!

I took "when big Joan sets up,,,,it was a hit with the black dudes

+Frankincensed All avant-garde rock music in late 30 years was influenced by Beefheart, not only punk... The Butthole Surfers sure were influenced by the magic band, but even Sonic Youth, Primal Scream, The Pixies and Radiohead. They probably wouldn't even know, but Beefheart's sound is more or less hidden in all that bands, too.First of all we have Frank Zappa (who was better, and more regular, but sometimes more accesible, too, (in Hot Rats, Overnite Sensation and Apostrophe, for example) and that's the reason why he's so famous, (obviously, because he was a genious, too) but then, if one is searching for the weidest bands of the 60's and 70's, we have the first and second LP by "The Red Krayola", Which are definitely hard to listen, but really avant-garde, and of course,The Residents, with their absurd touch of humour, and minimalist sound, and Captain Beefheart. All of them were even much more risky than the Velvet Underground. They were authentic anti-commercial lost heroes... And I understand this kind of music is not for everyone... It's too much weird, even for fanatics of psychedelic and progressive rock . Imagine what it could be for Easylisteners... (Even Beefheart was a bit more accesible in "Clear Spot", "the Spotlight Kid", and "Bluejeans and Moonbeans"... but even then, he was in his own weird world...) there's two songs of Captain Beefheart that totally blew my mind: This one, and "Big Eyed Beans from Venus", from "Clear Spot". That song is a total masterpiece for me. One of the hidden treasures I'm proud to know, Really great!

I see you post everywhere.... E V E R Y W H E R E

Yup, you are not the only one.

The Captain Lives!!!!

Dunno.......Safe as Milk, pretty.easy on the ear..........Trout....,...different ball game................

Wheredidallthecreamcheesego......?

​@@williamwilkes9873Trout was part of my school days when John Peel played it in its entirety over several weeks in the mid 90s. I still love it.

@@destrozar brilliant taste........lots of good bands like Gong were passed over........l knew Zep'', but loved Arthur Brown as well .........niçe cover..........not as good as Hot Rats, Mother's..............

Yeh, l spent time with them..........nice memories.

keith szmania Que esperar de esa empresa burguesa y elitista de musica de porqueria

Sadly, this would have been perfect to show on Beavis & Butt-Head back in the 1990's. They usually showed weird music videos on B&B.

@@ChaosDevin Agreed 💯 I said the same thing when I first watched it. It woulda been as gold as when they did Yoko Ono's video lol

The difference was that Beavis and Butt-Head exhibited the kind of stupidity that infuriated Don. Back in 1972 he was interviewed by a Rolling Stone reporter and angrily denounced drug use. "Trying to save the planet is what's happening. I know people who drive metal stakes into redwood trees and when the loggers come to cut down the trees they break their goddam saws."

That's what I love about it.

+Mark8395217 Tom Waits, Frank Zappa, & Captain Beefheart. Three of my favorite artists!

+Michael B Beef taught those other two everything they know!! Must be some cool jamming where they are now... :(

+Michael R Murphy I'm not too sure about that being true of Zappa.... Zappa was a kid on the Steve Allen show making music with bikes way before Captain Beefheart started. But I guess with any of them, you just can't tell who came first, the Zappa or the Beefheart!

Yeah, Frank and Steve Allen-in the 1950's? Not that long ago, right? Now David is up there with them too. SNIFF!!!

and Arthur Brown

beef was the real deal....although he showed us, through his music, our silly world, his music was in no way silly...ever. I can tell you understand Cornel. If yer like me, you've been listening to beef since the 60's

I wouldn't even dare.

I didn't play his toons, I just went with his inspiration of makin music fun and adapted it to my style

Always blasted that shit even the poppy stuff, i must admit safe as milk is my favorit, im a poppy guy.

and you KNOW the answer..If they hate it..then it's right beyond right! XP

at least you found out real quick most people...like 99%...should not even exist

Mordock999 no kidding!

How much were they versus How much are they today?

I always hear music in his incredible depictions of the beautiful American landscape.

don van vliet was a painter...captain beefheart made music

He died.......RIP..........

Monty......!

I too quote Beefheart lyrics in the hope someone picks up on them. So far, no-one has. Fast & Bulbous 😂😂

@@michelletonks2270 A woman who quotes Beefheart? Wanna get married?

Wish more people were like you and your wife. Having a humor being is one of the greatest gifts of living

MTV Europe used to have this on hand back in the 90s for a show called 120 Minutes, this usually popped up around the midnight to 1am slot.

@@stephenhester9804 I’m sure I even saw it on in the daytime. It’s always stayed with me because of how wonderfully weird it is.

Probably the band Coral

I was trying to explain what I thought jazz really was to my 11 year old daughter and the best I could come up with was sunra!

Great line

omg i never thought i would see a comment like this and with a lot of likes

I want to believe!

yep. me too!

interesting. elaborate?

Colin Swayze: I was thinking of the musical development and experimentation that marked out Beefheart's highly diverse catalogue. A place of extreme secrecy that released only the best.

Speaking of which....

@@davehimlin2374 LMAO. Right off the bat I can think of Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Coati Mundi and fucking Rubén Blades

@@davehimlin2374 Ah, come on man. Beefheart can be catchy as hell, and he was impresive when it came to make interesting melodies (just to annoy you a bit more, XTC made an Ella Guru cover which was extremely faithful to the original hahaha)

@@davehimlin2374 Now that appears to be exactly where we disagree entirely. And, since it's a matter of taste (I personally view him as a very melodic musician, and the unaccompained songs in TMR are proof of that to me), perhaps it's best that we agree to disagree, at least for now
