the Mountain Goats - Golden Boy (Jordan Lake Sessions)

[@aslawrence]

“There are no Golden Boy peanuts left in this world as far as anyone can tell. But if I can just get spiritual with you for a moment, the song says that in hell-hell, the place of eternal suffering and torment, the place where no happiness can be found-that’s the place where no Golden Boy peanuts are. But it’s also been further observed that we now all, you and I, your parents, your friends, your enemies, strangers, all live in a place where there are no such peanuts." -- JD 02.20.2020 Swedish American Music Hall

he must’ve been wearing his boots, it always guarantees a good showing.

[@Ty-kg5gn]

this song gives me some wild type of emotion that doesn't exist.

[@TheCommanderCosmo]

got me feeling in shrimp colors

[@EliGoldfish]

It's called horny

[@kalemmackey2917]

I like to think it's called hope.

[@ryanhutt2325]

Welcome to The Mountain Goats my friend.

[@jare___]

I think I could say that about pretty much every one of the songs from this session

[@cassady260]

Hello there, Paul. I had a take and I was ready to send it, but then I thought: you know, it can be done better. So, here it is then. Now I'm wearing my boots, which always guarantees a good showing

[@MrCoffeejingler]

Dont be a good person because of god, because its the right thing to do, or because youre a good person, do it for the Golden Boy

[@Tobingtons]

You’ve missed the point of the song :)

[@ck9584]

Hail Satan!

[@Kate-uj9rx]

I never thought I'd be moved by a song that says nut so many times 🥜💛

[@EmyriadGames]

I am so happy to hear a studio recording of this. This is one of my favorite songs from the Mountain Goats lo-fi era and hearing it in studio is really exciting.

[@fenfennel]

It’s so rad to see old songs being pulled out and re recorded like this

[@pmd123777]

But John....were you wearing your boots here??!

[@hess6wi]

My favourite of the Jordan Lake sessions versions!

[@MemphianSounds]

This is so underrated. One of my favorites. Can't ever not hear the intro from the record

[@IrisGlowingBlue]

The joy is even more transcendent in video form

[@gasp_4_air]

theres something so fulfilling about seeing the band doing what they do best. it helps me get into the music

[@AndrewWatson401]

Love this, right up to and including the Lisa Simpson sax outro

[@aslawrence]

Lisa Simpson outro 😂 YOU’RE SO RIGHT

[@rabbitterrain]

The freaking sax, take me awaayyy

[@zoemotz9198]

This was my first Mountain Goats song! (Not counting the Jawbreaker cover that I actually heard first) 🥜 ❤️ I still love it so much

[@nickl2854]

That jawbreaker cover rules!!

[@christophernorthcott3700]

This is my favorite on the album

[@ultrablue123]

I know John has had his issues with this song, and that's fine. But for me this is not only one of The Mountain Goats' greatest songs ever, but one of the greatest songs period. It stirs something inside of me that few other songs can.

[@QuayDawgg]

a classic

my favorite

[@evilnerf]

I'm sorry JD but this song is good!

[@tiessmckenzie]

It's SO good.

[@L0UB0W3RS]

well played, i love this old song!

[@dantower8268]

Yeah!

[@dantower8268]

Love the Lisa Simpson riff at the end!

[@vanancio]

Its funny that the decription of this video uses the lyrics from the original one. The intro part at least

[@babbylonmon]

I love this fucking amazing brilliant masterpiece.

[@somethingcooliguess]

I couldn't help but think about the exchange in the Independent full concert (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKqbY5ytr7l2e6M) : "This next song is really old." crowd goes "YEAH" "You say 'Yeah', but there were a lot of old songs that were bad." "GOLDEN BOY!" "No, not that one."

[@seanthompson3163]

Does the saxophone have a matte finish?

[@adityakhanna113]

I dig the sax in tmg songs now, earlier a sax I would have dug less

[@genshikashmir]

It's just unpolished

[@bengibbard2787]

I see what you did there

[@pdutilly9829]

When they finally invent the best drug, one that helps you see stoplights in time and be kind to your asshole dad, it's gonna feel a lot like this song.

[@medes5597]

Who would have thought we'd live in a world where the fan favourite he will play is the much ranted about Golden Boy and not the decade long set closer Going to Georgia?

[@rabbitterrain]

I'm ded af 😂💕

[@GinkgoBalboa142]

This song made me buy peanuts.

[@stupedkiteh]

Confirmed we are in fact living in hell.

[@TheFishSandwichShow]

I use to love peanuts so they broke all my teeth

[@harrisonbrown7267]

Maybe we are in hell?

[@adityakhanna113]

Maybe????

[@tiessmckenzie]

I did the math and yes.

[@jameshuman1753]

And apparently no experiation dates in heaven (ironic cuz everyone there has expired)

[@tiessmckenzie]

Because of that intro I always feel better about my chances when I'm wearing boots.
