[@AppStateSpanky]

This song is one giant middle finger to the entire music industry!

[@randall-king]

Y’all should read the lyrics to this. Genius.

[@TheFleahost]

It leaves you feeling gross and violated in its honesty. ❤

[@ronaldwisdom6231]

The song version of Idiocracy...

[@Shrasha]

This is my funeral song. If people don’t get it then I will have the last laugh

[@AKaveman]

You mean where he tells you to your face that he's gonna say nothing and make you fall into your feels anyway? Love this song❤ Dudes a wizard

[@Thundaarr]

It's amazing in it's honesty of what it's doing, yet you can't resist. One of the greatest trolls of all time.

[@CCDzine]

As catchy and well executed the music of this song is, the lyrics make it pure genius. It took me many listens to catch and relate all the lines.

[@profanepersonality]

I caught it the first time as a kid. I always paid attention to lyrics. I laughed every time this played because no one else did. Most thought it is was "the heart brings you back", and would sing it loud. 😂😂😂

[@sliverofthemoon3165]

​@@profanepersonalityYeah I didn't catch it for a while myself. 😅 But to be fair I love music for a variety of reasons and it's not always the message/lyrics. If that's all it took we would go to poetry readings instead of listening to music. We humans tend to like sounds that make us want to move. It's a brain thing. Despite musicians that think themselves "too deep and above that" they're not. They're just tantruming against a simple human thing that doesn't have anything to do with their want to express their off the wall thoughts and feelings, which is a different way to express one's self with music and not as relatable depending on the thing they're trying to express. Doesn't make them better than anyone of us that just likes to move to the beat.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

The hook really did bring me back! I feel like a fish being reeled in. Popper was in complete control of my reaction to the music.

[@hoppy0720]

I’ve long said Hook is one of the best songs ever written.

[@petersarubbi]

You could easily argue it's the absolute best song ever written... I am addicted to this song for multiple reasons... and I've never heard anyone say they don't like this song or John's voice...😊👏👏👏❤

[@ojstinson]

You need to look up the free concert this group did for handicapped kids and their parents, its a truly heartwarming video featuring this song, and it's amazing to actually see this guy live, it's well worth the time to pull the video of this event.10/19/1997 - on youtube at the "Shoreline Amphitheatre".

[@Frostrazor]

thats a great video. :-) This came out shortly after I was married -- I remember this gig. I live near Shoreline. Been there many times.

[@airborneandrowdy]

*"No mater how much peter loved her. What made th Pan refuse to grow"* lyric has always had a place in my heart.

[@Frostrazor]

This entire album is amazing. Hook is one of my favs. So clever and sarcastic yet fun at the same time.

[@LeskoBrandon2x]

And nostalgic as all hell

[@pennypacker77]

This song is brilliant. Blues Traveler call the listeners out for enjoying their song because of the hook it has, even though the song doesn't mean anything. Simple but very inventive. My favorite song they did is still But Anyway

[@cce3325]

"Runaround" is the song you're thinking of.

[@maverick3677]

Growing up I thought they were saying "The whole thing is fake." Im just learning what this song was actually about. So underrated.

[@davidbentley145]

I've heard these guys before but not this piece...what a perfect confection this is!Wow!Thank you for this...

[@LeskoBrandon2x]

It blows my mind that you’ve heard Blues Traveler, but not hook until 3 days ago. Glad you finally found it!!

[@brianfisher6165]

Incredible band and their fantastic live!!!!👌👍✌️😁

[@jerrybraverman5122]

The song she's thinking of is Runaround, also by Blues Traveler

[@pamagnolia]

This was great!! Thanks!! 😊

[@robertstoner8244]

The hook is this great song ❤ I always come back to it ❤

[@phantomimages7673]

They used the chord progression from Pachebel’s Cannon D for this song, probably the most”hokiest” piece of music ever composed as well as copied or used in other songs. Which is exactly why they picked it for this song and the lyrics, you really need to read the lyrics to really appreciate the genius of this song.

[@Erica-wy8zx]

“The Mountains win again” is a pretty song by them.

[@stephenpemberton85]

I believe John could play "Eruption" On that harp he's so damn good

[@pamelajohnson6199]

Love it!

[@Pcytripper]

I think The Mountain Wins Again is a great song of theirs that most folks miss.

[@gaweaver81]

It's a fun song. The lyrics are very interesting. I love watching you two. Great back and forth. You should do more of their music, also would love to see some more Ren, I think he has something special going for him. Also, I have said it before, will say it again, your wife is one of the sweetest, cutest and most beautiful women on the internet. She seems like the sweetest person. Have a great day!!

[@karendavis2668]

The lyrics are amazing 😍

[@babygeneral1985]

"Secret Agent Man" - Blues Traveler

[@Erica-wy8zx]

“Runaround” is another song of theirs you’re referring to.

[@jakecolvin3167]

Got to watch them perform it Live to appreciate John's harmonica playing.

[@bigfudge5978]

I saw these guys a while back and it was an unusual show. They played straight through until the end of the show. They never interacted with the crowd, or said anything. No pauses in between songs, just one song bleeding into another. When the show was over, he said thank you and left the stage. No encore either.

[@RonPower]

They are a "jam band" sort of like Grateful Dead or Phish. They are 100% dedicated to the music, not any of the trappings of being rock stars.

[@IisDeeps]

Not one single miss on this album. Just amazing!

[@kimberlyjones5337]

Absolutely it’s the only CD I have in my car

[@TheTurtlee1]

The lyrics definitely thumb the nose at the music industry, a masterpiece in itself, but the real trolling happens from the music standpoint because it's Pachelbel's Canon in D, which has been used in so many songs. Even the harmonica solo is very close to the original piano solo. The chord progression has been overused in the industry because of the emotions it brings and the fact that it leaves things unresolved, as far as music theory is concerned. In other words, builds tension. The most recent use of Pachelbel's Canon in D that I can think of is "Memories". Give a close ear to the original and copies! It's genius that John Popper did this!!!

[@williamcabell142]

Ain’t nothin better then the Blue...America’s contribution to all modern music! It fueled the British Invasion!

[@sethsyrus7671]

Wow😂

[@Rurukuken]

The song she was thinking of was “Runaround” haha

[@brandasar7913]

Run around is the song your thinking of. By the same band. Lol

[@rockthany]

lol...the song she was thinking of was Runaround.

[@macjbe]

That might be the most non-reactive reaction I’ve ever witnessed. And to an incredibly clever song , with a great hook.

[@michaelfletcher9640]

They were busy scrolling. I can't believe more of us didn't notice their ironic lack of attention proving the song's point...

[@brianfisher6165]

Your thinking of the song “Run Around “👍👌✌️😁

[@danjohnson2986]

Nirvana’s “in bloom” is a song with similar sentiment. The mountain wins again by blues traveler is another great song of theirs.

[@jasongCLJ]

you gonna be hooked to 90s alternative rock soon , beware 😉

[@ArvelleWhitaker]

well the hoook briiings you baaaaaaaack!!

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

Saw them at Athens super jam with Dave Matthew's widespread panic and a few other bands I can't remember 😀

[@trustonlyline4206]

BT’s best song. They were controversial and had mtv success through talent and a small window in time. But the industry shunned these guys except for creepy Howard Stern who brought them out for years. But great song that deserves its place in music history. And great band.

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

The fact this whole song is making fun of music industry is pure gold

[@JuanHughJorgan]

Blues Traveller got you on this one. It's literally making fun of people who don't pay attention to the lyrics and only care about the "hook". Also generally poking fun at the entire music industry at the time. Pull up the lyrics next time lol

[@michaelfletcher9640]

It would be hard for them to read lyrics and be totally distracted by their phones at same time...

[@outlawgt3045]

I love this song and this band so much. True talent that rose up from the people. You can't manufacture a fat dude who can sing and play the harmonica.

[@outlawgt3045]

I always thought the lyrics were "The HEART brings you back" I just found out it's Hook not Heart like a month ago. And I love this band. I never put 2 and 2 together and just missed it all these years. That's crazy.

[@randybaker6042]

Everyone into jamming harmonica needs to check out Eurythmics There Must Be An Angel (live 1987).

[@jasonmartin1129]

Deserved a better reaction! The song is about the hook of a song that keeps you coming back, even if the band is being insincere… “as long as my confession draws you near.”

[@kenwilmarth68]

If you like this you might like Bare Naked Ladies.

[@kerrywyles1207]

You just might have missed the whole point of the song. At least you listened though. Do a little more research on it if you feel like it.

[@Marshall_EL34]

"this MTV is not for free ...it's so PC it's killing me" ...and he wrote this in 1994!

[@Jeff-fv9rk]

Read the lyrics and learn what a "hook" is boys. You'll laugh when you do.

[@kimberlyjones5337]

I feel like they fell victim to the hook, and did not understand the purpose of this song

[@MsWubba]

Isn't this a react channel? You didn't even talk about the song at all...acknowledge the lyrics...nothing?

[@michaelfletcher9640]

They didn't listen to any of the song except the 'Hook'... We were watching them scroll while pretending to be reactors, essentially...🥱

[@cmzeman]

This is a loving ripoff of Pachelbel's Canon in D. It's a 300 year old piece of music. The point is that a hook will always be a hook.

[@adrian-vu6gt]

Why does no one bring up the lyrics to the videos? You miss half of the songs value. I do not get it.

[@jordanryan5829]

She ruined it. Zero reaction

[@johntheivagt3054]

I was thinking the same thing, and then another thought occurred to me. What if they read up on the meaning of the song beforehand and did something very Meta. They just nod their heads to the beat, enjoy the music and everything, say the song sounds really happy, and have zero focus on the lyrics -- on purpose. Their "reaction" is to troll their audience by acting like the very target of the song's lyrics.

[@michaelfletcher9640]

Notice the intro quoted the film, 'Hook'; yet they didn't even flinch on the lyric referencing Peter Pan?! That's when I noticed they had 'scroll eyes' and were not even bobbing to the right rhythm...🤨🤔🥱

[@michaelfletcher9640]

@@johntheivagt3054Look at You, being a 'half-full' kinda guy!!! Reacting is too easy to have to pretend to do it. So contemptuous! I'd hate to be a paying subscriber to this fakery...
