If there's ever a time in my life where I look cool in front of a crowd of people, I want this song to be playing.

Fucking brilliant

[@MrLynch-ei4dc]

Went to a Mexican wedding, and the bride and groom danced to this. Fuckin epic.

[@MkeKen67]

That seems like an odd choice, because this song doesn't sound like it's about a very good relationship.

[@victorblas3483]

I'm Mexican, I totally would dance to this at my wedding.

[@iaingingell7659]

I can’t stop thinking about this comment. How was the wedding?

[@Memorh19]

@@MkeKen67 not odd at all. That's original.

[@steelpursuit]

You know a song is good,when you randomly get it ingrained into your mind,and you haven't listened to the band in such a long time

[@pauljohnpinkybennett3557]

I heard them on John Peel years ago.

[@Theinterloper1926]

Yeah what is that lol

This whole song is a banger but that guitar part at 1:26 just hits different, it gets stuck in my head for days lol

[@faithamethyst]

I'd totally forgotten this song, this is the best part of youtube... when you jump from song to song and accidentally find something new and great or pump into an old song you've already forgotten.

[@Hunter-Of-Musical-Happiness]

Excatly same as you Bro 🚀❤️

[@FardHast]

Hey, do you still remember it?

[@blackmagic5929]

That amazing feeling when you haven’t heard a song in many years but then you hear it again and remember how good it is. My Dad used to play this when I was probably about 6 years old. I’m now 18 and it’s been a joy to find again

[@jamezason]

That is an amazing feeling. The sounds you’ve heard before are always just waiting for you to come back.

[@michealcrane5714]

I was 13 and listening to these songs with my dad lol I’ll 25 now and here I am laying in bed reminiscing the good old days 😅😊

[@michealcrane5714]

Headphones on, volume all the way up!!

[@RiikkaL]

I love the slow, dragging and almost indifferent sound and the singer's voice that's both blissful and strained. Love it.

[@Catceptionv2]

I agree pretty much everything about this song is good as frick

[@jimschmim8045]

My good buddy Tony and I were doing drugs years back and this song comes on. He's all like dude it's about cocaine. I'm like bro, it's about laundry.

[@SpoonsForks]

[@tuchesuavae]

love to hear him say "all mixed up in the wash, hot... water... bleeding our colors" that part is awesome.

[@zwokle]

Possibly one of the greatest songs of all time.

[@PaRAtro0per]

This song took way too long to find me.

[@StoneAndersonStudio]

Whole tone scale is a nice touch in the piano. The ratchet also adds tension and adds to the feeling they are trying to portray, that "something is wrong with this situation." I love this song.

[@tracyturner8516]

It sounds ore like the tension on a fishing rod 🤷‍♀️😉

[@lindz9341]

Still gives me the chills. Destructively beautiful.

[@peakgammon6946]

My secret favourite song of all time.

Fucking in love that guitar 1:30

[@Claude1Rochon]

i don't mean to spoil your party but ( although i too, am in love with it...i happen to know where it came from... ) you have to listen to this 60's hit by the Easy Beats ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hITSqI2Zq9SkqJY at 1:08 / and ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/maXbc3aDo7GBpZo.... these guys had this kind of guitar picking borrowed from banjo and yukulele styles that translated into electric guitar becomes MIND BLOWINGly Cool !

[@Mkittyfly]

this riff is SOO sick. one of my favorite songs:)

[@kz334]

This song is so epic in person. I saw them in concert and they were...amazing.

[@wadereed11]

when I was in 8th grade this used to play almost every morning on fuse or some channel that played music videos. Catchiest song I had heard up to that point. 2006-2007 was actually a good year for alternative music

[@emt7026]

Wade Reed this is so freaky. I'm in 8th grade and this song plays every other morning in my teacher classroom. Strange coincidence

And here are the lyrics... "Hang Me Up To Dry" Careless in our summer clothes, splashing around in the muck and the mire Careless in our summer clothes, splashing around in the muck and the mire Fell asleep with stains, caked deep in the knees (what a pain) Now hang me up to dry You wrung me out too, too, too many times Now hang me up to dry I'm pearly like the whites wh-whites of your eyes All mixed up in the wash Hot water bleeding our colors All mixed up in the wash Hot water bleeding our colors Now hang me up to dry You wrung me out too, too, too many times Now hang me up to dry I'm pearly like the whites wh-whites of your eyes Now hang me up to dry You wrung me out too, too, too many times Now hang me up to dry I'm pearly like the whites wh-whites of your eyes

[@shagingmaster35]

I was high the other day listening to this song. At 3:10 there's this creaking noise and that's in which at the same time I looked up at my air-conditioner ventilator and I thought the noise was a ghost. I had not been scared like that in a long time.

[@chazk7530]

I saw these guys live during the tour for this album and they were incredible. So much fun. They were so physical and active onstage, you can sort of see it in this video but it was so much more frenetic live.

This song has something so very human about it. I Love it, Which is strange because I usually am not a fan of "today's" music or new music. But this song has a very old feel to it and a mystery that bleeds through the tones.
