Mr.Scruff (Moondog-Lament)

[@zv1689]

This was one of my dad's favorite songs to listen to while he rode his bicycle on a trail near his house. He is went to be with the Lord this past Sunday.

[@fabuniverse3908]

Thanks Mr Scruff for letting more people know about Moondog❤

[@56postoffice]

Its amazing that Moondog's original "Bird's Lament" clocks in under 2:00. If you haven't heard it then check it out. Its BRILLIANT!

[@islabee94]

I just need this on Spotify. Its a perfect remix of the original 😩🤌🏽💋

[@Bean-Machine]

[@mandsc4120]

Same here. In 1994 but in a hmv in Northampton. Not quite so exoctic. I've been trying to find out what it's called for use years and today I found it!!

[@asfarasyoucango]

There is nothing! quite like Moondog on the planet is there, thats all i can say, awesome!.

[@Skyrilla]

I learned the original was from 1969 by Moondog - AMAZING artist, I always thought this was from the 1930's... Fucking fantastic remix tho... Kudos.

[@Etom3590]

Here's the original one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqTNpKKvbdiDrNU

[@franckwerrebrouck8755]

The perfect remix of this incridible track is my favorite

[@mawethudamane5519]

Used to love this song as a kid. Heard the original on the movie "pineapple express".. Looked it up on the credits.. That's how I discovered moondog. The rest is history.

[@asfarasyoucango]

Forgot to mention, absolutely love the old photos of past greats!.

[@tonimarie100]

My Favorite song!

[@Bratkip]

Very good remix of the jazziest music line I know (Moondog - Bird's Lament is underrated ;P) I like the photographs from the clip. Great to see those faces and fashion. Gives an extra dimension, even though it's not from the same time as the music.

[@81elpedro]

[@pandittimirbaranroy4961]

[@Odielman]

Killer track!

[@gherasimchuk]

Here is a quote about this person (in the photo 2:02) from Wikipedia: "Vitaly Lazarenko (1890-1939) was a Russian/Soviet circus artist know best for his acrobatic skills and use of political satire during events." If you click to see that wiki page in Russian, it has his photo there too.

[@DaynaJade321]

This is the most official remix of this song.

[@thewolfster84]

thanks for this track, i'm a sculptor and i work best with music, this just sent me back to the lab

[@dania648]

@Rileyfree Yes, it is the commercial project. But perfectly made. One of my favourite melodies till now ! ))

[@CCEX]

@Jakedyt1 Moondog was blind from age 16 on, but was never really homeless. He rented an apartment for most of his years as an eccentric Viking-clad street musician in Manhattan and spent the last 20+ years of his life in Germany

[@saffysaffy3239]

I used to see him all the time mostly in mkdtown manhattan I thought.he was a homeless eccentric.Yrs later I to my shock I discovered his his incredible.music.Still listeninh to it in 2024

[@darkprincess1366]

Awww shitt God

[@dania648]

@Odielman You have a good collection of music on KZbin. It was pleasant to me ))

[@Mephistopholies]

Uuuughhhh... This s**t is history! Wasn't this guy blind and homeless?

[@dania648]

@wizarda7x Well. There will be time, will make the list of these actors.

[@bradwithers4720]

Does anybody else feel a need to buy a Lincoln?

[@Saicto]

@Odielman uh-huh!!!

[@Cutsman562]

I wouldnt really call this a Birds Lament remix. More of a sampling.

[@thepreseason]

sampling = remix

[@FabriceBlanc]

@@thepreseason This is incorrect, Marlon is right this is sampling : Sampling : you have a sample that is only a single phrase of a song (e.g. a baseline, or a riff, or a melody), typically a short bit. The new work only utilizes a small portion of the song to create a new work as a "key ingredient", and - importantly - it's included in the new work "verbatim". Remix : attempts to create the same song, but by re-interpreting it - the final product is an entire song that references the original in its entirety - e.g. it's a rework of the entirety of the song.

[@rydunning]

The important thing is we got into an argument about it

[@dania648]

@thewolfster84 I understand you because I m artist. But draw less often, than I listen to music...)

[@MrMegaduder]

i totally empathise because im a massive creative genius and this type of funky ridim helps me make my massive art installations. i have been told many times my art is easily the best ever. cool

[@allrequiredfields]

MrMegaduder If anyone talks themselves up this much, you know their work is total shit.

Hi , who is the women at 1min 15 .

[@dania648]

hi) It is Greta Garbo

[@viviendubois5780]

Thanks a lot princess

[@cerejota]

@LethalMister truth hurts. Moondog was a genius. This is crap. And I like electronic music and remixing and sampling, when done right.

[@cerejota]

Ruined one of the most beautiful songs ever. DO NOT LIKE.

[@rydunning]

Don't worry, the original song has not suffered any damage because of a remix of it was released.... It still exists and sounds exactly the same ..... In fact that's how all of music works .... A new song only adds (even if it adds zero), but never subtracts

[@rengaweoj]

This is so wrong. I love improvisation as much as the next jazz fan but the drum machine ruins it. Listen to the original as written and performed by Moondog (Louis Hardin) and you'll hear a nice crisp REAL drum kit. There's a place for an electronic remix but this is just plain awful.

[@ethantastic]

personally i object to "electronic" remix. also love both artists.

[@rydunning]

You are definitely in the minority

[@blonde7000]

i used to hear this tune around a lot had no idea who did this and came on to here - Great tune like this a lot
