The Replacements - Merry Go Round (Video)

[@richardschneller7674]

I’m 70 years old now and it’s 2022 and I am loving the Replacements more and more

[@mateusbarboza1930]

Rip Bobslim, your work will be forever in the heart of lovers of music

[@CKNDFressay]

Im a 16 year old girl and i love the replacements, i even introduced them to my 56 year old dad!

[@CoboProdz]

Bunny Martin he should already be a huge fan!

[@negascoot23]

I hope you're still loving them at 23💗 And I know how you feel: When I was 16, one of my best friends was a huge music buff and a brilliant guitarist--he was more than 10 years older than me and taught me almost everything I know about music. But *I* had the honor of introducing him to the classic L.A. punk band X😊 He'd never heard them, and he loved them to death💖 Even got me their autographs when he went to see them live🥰

I'm 17. In some weird way thanks to bands like and especially The Replacements, I've become comfortable with myself. Westerberg's lyrics are so relatable to those who don't fit in or are shy or whatever.

[@rdrrr]

How ya doin' at 27? I only discovered The Replacements a couple years ago. Wish I'd found them as a teen!

[@zachhiggins1668]

actually you're 28

Paul Westerberg is a masterful songwriter

[@brad7227]

Huge fan, and the only person on the whole internet to not see them live. Even though they only had 35 people at each show, millions have been there, and it was epic.

[@jimdellavecchia4594]

Absolutely the greatest band of the 80's. They influenced so many bands but destroyed their chances of stardom on purpose. Self-destructive behavior!! I'm 55 and saw them all through the 80's and to this day still wonder, 'what if???" Westerberg is an amazing songwriter. They have never received their due

[@paulblack8887]

This album was full Westerberg, smooth and clean

[@MaolsheachlannÓCeallaigh]

I'd never heard of the Replacements, but I went looking for songs about fairground rides. This is great!

[@KOSMICKEN09]

There are few as great as Paul....one of the best songwriters ever.

[@lauried.7714]

Most underrated band ever. Love Pablo and always will

[@machbaby]

The older I get, the more I appreciate this band.

[@ironduke2000]

It gets a bit tiring to always hear the Replacements referred to as underrated, but I will say that this song is underrated. I always thought it was just great, and never understood why people wrote off All Shook Down and almost all of the Replacements' post-Tim output. There's tremendous stuff there.

[@rdrrr]

@darrenholmes4213 I wanna like it but I find because so many of the songs are midtempo and downbeat they kinda blur together. There are some really excellent tracks on _Shook_ though. I particularly love this one, the creepy title track and the energetic and desperate "Bent Out of Shape".

[@amityboattours]

I could never begin to explain what these guys songs mean to me. They are the soundtrack to my life and each tune feels like it was somehow written just for me.

[@KawaiiChele]

This is real pop. The Replacements are legends.

[@matthewstetson1840]

Ouch. They are legends and this is the warm glass of milk Replacements.

[@bk8080]

Tommy especially loved this album.

[@shashsrivas]

*rock. This ain't pop.

[@oppothumbs1]

@@bk8080 Very strange as it's one of their worst because of a lot of weak songs on it though the strong songs like "Nobody" are far and few between.

[@JohnDoe-qv6my]

This is hard rock actually

[@ValaBlake]

LOVE LOVE LOVE The Replacements! This is such a great song! How can it only have 461 likes???

[@ruemckenzie9894]

I love this band. I've seen them live many times, and love everything from beginning to now. The wonderful early videos with just speakers thumping and the occasional 'human' touch like a cigarette flick or whatever to the full on performance video here. There are lyrics here that are so wise, and yet so believable. I'm an eternal Florida fan.

[@TheRealPapaGamer]

The first ten seconds looks so very cool! Love this song.

[@nightjammer]

All Hail the Mighty Mats! Truly, "America's Best Band". Classic American music.

[@Lewspade]

I recently discovered this band and wow.... they are currently my favorite

[@Officefan2]

I lost my love and best friend Ashley back in 2012. Just drove around with this on repeat, chainsmoking with tears streaming down my face. Love you Ashy, this is your anthem

[@kix7711therealone]

This band isn't overlooked at all. Anybody who knows their music, knows and loves this band.

[@mikeguinness5408]

Early 90s might be one of the best times for music and when I found this band. Thank you TouTube for having these "120 Minutes" videos available to watch and bookmark. Such a solid band with great songs.

[@MisterFoop]

Paul Westerburg is the man ... Is the man is the man ... Is the man is the man ... Is the man is the man ... Is the man is the man ... Is the man is the man ... One day soon you all will know it ... is takes 20 years for the average mortal to awaken to greatness... what more can i say ...

[@cultvult]

Thank you Robert. You understand how it was! Such a great band in their heyday! Especially when Bob was still with us. One of the most underrated guitarists ever. Some day he'll be "discovered."

[@lastdaysguitar]

Growing up in the Twin Cities and watching these guys was a trip for sure - RIP Bob.

[@johnwalker7168]

I saw these guys at Rutgers College circa 1989. Loved them, still do.

[@noradavis8002]

I love this. Just can't get enough.

[@noradavis8002]

Its just a picture of a lady its not me.

[@drugstoremarc2]

great band.

[@brianwilliams9462]

Actually the first Mats song I ever heard (completely unwittingly) I remember hearing this on college station as a 13 year old in the mid 90s when this was still relatively contemporary, despite them breaking up a few years before, (right in time of course to miss the whole alt rock/grunge breakthrough which could have made them huge stars had it happened 5 years earlier.) Made enough of an impression that I recognized it years later when I got around to All Shook Down after Let It Be, Tim and PTMM. Even thought this is clearly them breaking up (and really a Westerberg solo song) still a classic. How I love this band

[@Hatchcaptain]

So underrated and rarely giving’ props. Just a really good band with a lot of good material

[@nomadtraveller100]

Love this band! This is song one of my favorites! Used to listen to them all the time in the 90's.

This merry Go Round song I have heard it get some play on XM Radio. Great tune.

[@hiredgunscotty]

Bought this when it first came out and played it nonstop....great album and the mats as a whole so underrated.

[@nickymadd3873]

I only became a Replacements fan within the last year or 2. I wish I listened to them 17 years ago when I was 13 and introduced to punk/alternative. me being the punk rocker I am loves their early stuff and love the fact that they evolved into that alternative music.its a shame that this bands broken past haunts them and prevents them to be active currently but I have become a huge fan of tommy Stinson and love his music.

[@MrBuc128]

It's amazing to me how overlooked this band is. I don't think anyone under 30 even knows who they are. There is no one around today that even comes close to the songwriting ability of Paul.This music is as close to perfect as it gets.

[@lauried.7714]

Love them. Lucky to have seen them live. Pablo forever.

[@lauried.7714]

I will always and forever love The Replacements. Always and forever.

[@abelzaratehernandez6115]

Esta banda me llamó la atención desdé niño por un disco de vinil andaba én los tianguis con mi vinilo buscando un cd pirata de la banda para escucharlos y nunca lo encontré en 🇲🇽 ahora a mis 16 años los encontré y me fascinó la banda tengo 23 y no los e dejado de escuchar

[@FreedomKat]

Such memories back in the day..Love them!

[@aisle_of_view]

Love this song, reminds me of Blondie's "Dreaming". Saw the Mats in 1986 with Bob, they were pretty trashed but so was everyone in the audience.

[@bodoono]

OK's Corral, Madison, Wi. One of my favorite places back in the eighties to see the Mats.

[@MplsTodd]

I saw them there in fall 1985! They sucked that night, but I still love em

[@Ryansterlingmusicaus]

Go Slim!! What a legend. Check out his solo stuff too

[@onewink]

This was the first song I ever heard by the 'Mats. I was never the same, after. Still makes me happy all over when I hear it.

[@nosaj56]

the melody to this song popped into my head, so I had to listen to it again. today was a good day.

[@shashsrivas]

I would love to listen Paul telling us about how he crafts those witty songs. His creative process.

[@mirandal2172]

A hush was the first word you were taught And I watched you wear the clothes they claimed that they bought They brought you down To watch the merry go around In fall, you knew how much cost The trouble doll, around your neck when you lost You wouldn't make a sound But I could hear your little heart pound And I watched your feet slip off the ground Merry go round, in dreams Writes 'em down, it seems When she sleeps, she's free Merry go round, in dreams You wake to another day and find The winds blowin' outta key with your sky Only you can see And the rain dancin' in the night Everybody stands around in daylight Merry go round, in dreams Writes 'em down, it seems When she sleeps, she's free Merry go round, in dreams And everybody thinks she's sick Shes got two worlds she can pick And she's sad ... Hush is the only word you know And I stopped listening long ago They ignored me with a smile You as a child But the trouble doll hears your heart pound And your feet say good-bye to the ground Merry go round, in dreams Writes 'em down, it seems When she sleeps, she's free Merry go round, in dreams Merry go round, in dreams Merry go round, in me Merry go round Merry go round Merry go round

[@reymontcantil199]

I understand old school (older) fans being mad at this stage in the game , post bob Stinson. But it’s a great song, and I’m glad I heard this record first. It was beautiful to find “stink” and hootenanny after this, you can see the songwriting progression. I much prefer late ‘mats to most classic rock, or even most late 90s modern rock. Paul is a great songwriter, even if this isn’t as great as let it be, I still love it.

[@reymontcantil199]

[@wysoft]

No way.. I'm 28 and have been a huge Replacements fan for years. I got into them in the late 90s because of one of my favorite bands, the Goo Goo Dolls. My favorite Goo albums were all from their early years, when they were bashed for being cheap Replacements knockoffs. Frankly, both bands were hugely unappreciated during those years and had many great songs that got little attention from anyone.

[@hopup35]
