Todd Rundgren & Rivers Cuomo - Down with the Ship (Official Music Video) 

Heard this song driving my kids home after a Luau around midnight in a rainstorm, driving through Kauai, HI. Its been their most requested song since then

A Weezer/A True Star

I dont understand this video at all, but this song is oddly awesomely addictive

I call dibs on this being the opening theme for the TV show about my life.

What a wonderful song to stumble onto 1st thing in the A.M.

This is splendid. It deserves to be a massive hit.

Love the song. The video style reminds me of Gorillaz.

New Year and I wanted to hear Todd! OMG! I had goosebumps!!! How fitting! I blew a kiss as the ship went down, down, down! Happy 2021!

Make a soul/pop album with Daryl Hall...

Todd did this last night. Cool tune. Although the timing on the tag is a bit off!

I love it!! So very "Todd"......perfect. We love you!!! We miss you!!!!!

He was one of my prefered artist during seventies and still best rythmes !!!

Way too much fun! Nice job gents! Well done!

Nice use of The Skatalites song “Dick Tracy”.

It does use a riff from the Skatalites "Dick Tracy", but is not entirely a rip-off. Igor Stravinsky said "Great composers never borrow from other composers..... They steal." That being said I'm looking forward to a new Todd album.

This is awesome and I enjoyed this music and video a lot!!

Oh i like this song ❤

excellent video and love the song!

Came back to listen to it again after a few months. Well, I'm sorry to say I actually... still like it !

This song is pretty catchy, like a more poppy Gotye. I'm surprised a song from Rivers Cuomo doesn't have at least 100k views.

song stuck in my head even when i walk down the street

Just wonderful. FUN! he goin down.

This sounds like a hit song. It's curious that Todd''s long list of masterpieces aren't and underrated but the silly-sounding "Bang on the Drum" songs like this are.

I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!

BTW, would love this ship on a tshirt!

This vid is awesome and deserves an award !👍👍👍👍

Absolutely brilliant ❤️❤️❤️

Awesome tune!!💜💜💜

I didn't like the first song I heard from his latest release. I do like this as well as the video. Well done Todd!

Catchy tune👍

Next level trad ska! Me I like

Cool video

great great great ..love it

Brian P is a genius at Cleopatra. Great song and video Todd and Rivers great song

❤️💯 great track !

VOTE FOR TODD!! ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME 2021

2 melodic masters

Great song...very complicated symbolism in the video...

This is Bonified!😎✌️

I actually kind of like this

Love it!

Now this is brilliant!

YES ❤️.

...and we're bailing the water in instead of out.

Great (and strange) graphics! Wish I knew what inspired the song.

Hell yeah !!!!

Not what I expected. This is more Oingo Boingo than Todd Rundgren and Rivers Cuomo. I can't imagine this is the best they have to offer...

And the sheeple go wild.

I love it.

Great Song perfekt

Fun!

This song is coming true right now!

What a great illustrator!!!!

The perfect analogy of a world leader sinking his nation.

Wow, what an interesting collaboration. Thanks, guys. Good stuff. Would LOVE to see TR return more the 70s-80s styles that he was so perfect for! "nearly human" and "2nd Wind" were his last great records...here's hoping this one is even better!

Be nice to see some credit to Skatalites, but this is a killer tune

I love this vid !!❤👏👏The best of Todds newer stuff. That's a mighty fine lookin woman at the end.😆

Going g back to his Gilbert and Sullivan Influence

I like it. I like the graphics. Simple and still very interesting. graphics. It's just a catchy little tune, and certainly not the first of its kind from OH. Just listened to the Skatakites. I wouldn't call it a copy, but I'm not a musician. I would say it's similar, but not a copy. We all know that Todd does all kinds of stuff. No world Order, State & Global were very challenging for me, but I found a few tunes on each that I really do love. Been a fan since '73. I think he's a genius [sounds/melodies & lyrics]. However, I DO NOT like everything he has ever done. Some of it I love when it comes out, and then just doesn't stand up over time. But he has such a vast collection that I can always find something for my mood. Let him do his thing. He's going to anyway ..... Peace

They appear to be going down all right...and judging by the reaction, the female statue isn't made of stone. 'Here we come Davy Jones.' 'Look out below.' Are we being had?

ok rivers I see you I see you go white boy go

Great stuff. Would’ve been a big hit in the good old days. For anyone griping about this giving offence to the Caribbean community, get a life. I refer you to Johnee Jingo or (at a push) Da Da Dali

Does anyone else hear a ton of clipping during the chorus?? I mean I know Todd is averse to producing things clean, but man...

Who is the base singer?

Todd does Ska!

Who is singing in the verses?

The red skies happened, recent months

Bwahahahaha!

Wow

A young girl cutting her teeth on grown men. I never knew Somali pirates could be so entertaining.

Nothing shared upon credits on the Album : Guys are real crooks !

Like the song a lot better before I saw this video. #JustSayin

Ahh now that i listen under ear buds, it’s the programmed hihat that’s rushed on the entire track. Guess someone quantized it incorrectly.

Hmmm?

Here we come baby jones here we come davey jones....

I'm good with every song off new album except for flappie. I know it's a cover from a dutch comedian but i think he could have covered any other xmas song. Not into killing .

Cut to a backing track of "Dick Tracy" by the Skatalites, apparently without giving any credit.

Gif them more AK 47's

Original...

New Tory party anthem 2024.

Hmm I’m pretty conflicted with this. I do overall like it, it’s nothing mind blowing but it’s...fine. However It’s obvious that a lot of this song is sampled from The Skatalites “Dick Tracy”. Like A LOT of it is, to the point that I don’t even know if I can say it’s sampling because it’s feels borderline illegal. I wouldn’t really call this an original song, it’s more like a remix of Dick Tracy. I don’t know if Rundgren has permission to use that song but I hope there is some credit to The Skatalites on the album or even their record company getting royalties because not doing so would be extremely disrespectful.

Any idea what Rivers Cuomo does on this song?

I just don't understand why Todd has ripped the music from The Skatalites “Dick Tracy”. Surely Todd could have come up with his own original thing (maybe even as a tribute). But no, a near 1 for 1 copy and no credit to be seen. I like the song and enjoy listening to it but I am disappointed in Todd's lack of creativity here (or lack or credit)

What happened Todd was the man.

this seems racist lol

Millionaires bellyaching about politics is weak and tiresome.

The worst of Weezer and the Worst of Todd together as one. What a pile of shit. This one will sell about 1,000 copies just as every Todd album since the 80’s.

I'm Single 😍😥
