When i was just starting to really get into music my cousin let me borrow a tape of these guys i and was blown away. 28 years later and i still love these songs. No one has ever sounded like them.
I saw them live in 2022... In Europe. I am pretty sure I was the only one who knew the lyrics, or the sexuality during this song, I am American, and have been a fan for a looooong time-- since their first album fan. It was glorious.
Being a Canadian you would hear this all the time on the radio. Everytime I hear this specific song it makes me miss my papa. He has been gone for 10 years now and I still tear up when I hear this.
I've seen the Dummies in concert 3 times, have all their albums, and have never seen them as a novelty band. It's as if Brad Roberts writes lyrics about what we're all thinking about but never think to write down. I love it! #dummyhead
I don't recall it made mainstream radio ....but in the day I heard it on university stations ( am) this is America you can speak as you wish ! Inspite of what you are being told ! It's still true
saw crash test dummies 95 I think on big mountain in whitefish Montana .......this band 20 years plus later is really truly something special........me and dad walked down to Kalispell mall and bought this album.......he was so good at finding music in the times before the internet.........I would just like to say to the crash test dummies ....your music is seriously deep and amazing ...this album will most likely leave this earth with me when we all see god shuffle his feet......thank you guys
Always have a message to be heard. I fell in love with their music then and it still makes me want to sing along, plus, his voice is in a range I can actually sing
Man this has a comedy lounge feel to it lol I miss these guys on the radio lol them, the Barenaked Ladies, and the Tragically Hip were my favorite Canadian bands back then
This has always been my favorite song off the album since it came out when I was in high school. Yet somehow I never knew there was a video for the song. Wow. The video makes the song even better. XD His off-beat dancing, the oversized jacket. This is just awesome. 👏🏻
I love love love love love love love love love Crash Test Dummies come out with a new songs I just can listen to these over and over and over again I love you guys in your voice and your music oh God bless you you make this woman so happy and I'm 74 and still still have😇♥️👍😉🤩 it going on
Bought this album in 1996 & played it a million times since. It never ages... Swimming in Your Ocean is one of the best songs ever written, easily......
Today a very underrated bands as a whole. Incredible sound, a fun sense of humour with lyrics appearing to be "simplistic" but with poetic power. I love this band. :)
A nice touch is how the band is introduced as "Brad Roberts and Crash Test Dummies." In the video, it is hinted that the rest of the band hates his guts. This was untrue in reality, but it really works in the video.
There was a dynamic gong on, and Brad was not the guy to de-escalate the situation, shall we say. I just saw the 25th anniiversity tour several moths ago with my son and it waw truly epic.Hope you like this comment, i hate typ[ing on my chromebook, it took some effort haha
Bizarre video but it was the 90's and I was there 👍 My favourite CTD song, the perfect video would just be a black screen as I always close my eyes when I listen to it
Best part of this (studio recorded version of the) song is the guitar riff and the "dum-de-dum (wait one beat) krah-tsch-tsch from the drums and the China at the end. Looped obviously, but I love it...
brad did a solo gig in ontario +/- 7 years ago. still boggles me i sat 15 unobstructed feet from him and he performed, as this video, dummies tunes. This voice is a league like no other.
born in the fifties, raised with Dylan, beatles, rod stewart, rascals, tom petty, bruce, yeah it 2019, and these guys are timeless; sit back, enjoy originality
My brother and I loved this song when we were kids and had no idea how incredibly, gloriously filthy it was. My parents must have been laughing behind their hands every time we played it on the stereo
Have been listening to this album since the 90s when today I wondered if there were videos so I came to youtube. They did not disappoint. Weird as hell. Love it!
Been listening to this for 31 years ... terrific band! One of their best albums too! Sad thought crossed my mind: most of the audience members of this video are not likely with us anymore. :(
I can totally relate to this. More than once I have been swimming in an ocean only to start wondering about UFOs, or if the floor needs cleaning. Great songwriting 😂😂 Love this song.
This was the first cassette tape I ever bought back in '93. Still just as otherworldly and evocative as then. FYI - Cassette tape: a compact case containing a length of magnetic tape that runs between two small reels used for recording or playback of audio :D
I love the fact that you explained a tape 😂this next generation will have to Google it anyways cause they know nothing of tapes CDs records and eight track tapes and players it's sad really
After hearing the popular track ‘mmm mmm mmm mmm’ in 94 I went out and bought the God Shuffled His Feet album and have been listening ever since. You don’t hear them on the radio anymore and were meant to be on tour this year which will now continue next year.
