Tripping Daisy - Piranha

[@donotbearobot]

That was a fun day, hadn't seen that one in a while. That was my first guitar lead I ever did on a recording.

[@OwenAlec]

+Tim Delaughter Brilliant Man!!

[@Melissa-Lucia]

I wore out 4 copies of this cassette back then. This is my favorite song from that record.

[@machine791]

You sir, know how to write a melody!

[@melvinburchett]

I got this album from my cousin when I was seven. That was around the time it was released, I believe. Thanks for the music. P.S. I still jam "Prick" all the time. What a great riff and solo. Was that Wes or you on that one?

[@patrickmcdonough7883]

Tim this song is amazing. 90's alt rock DEFINED here

[@justinfoy7514]

Got to see these guys in Winnipeg in the mid 99’s. I was one of the only guys in my group that liked them. They still are amazing. Great music.

[@lucaviad7322]

Takes me back to the days when music WAS music! As long as I have music like this available, it's always 1995!!!

[@jtucker813]

Yesss!!!

[@jeanwagner1977]

❤️♥️

[@tyebando5123]

How boring it must be to only listen to the same music over and over again

[@jollyjamiep]

This song is what helped me make it through boot camp with all my sanity back in 1995. We couldn’t have music so I wrote the lyrics down and kept them in my boot, and I would take them out and read them every time I felt like I was losing myself! Thank you guys for helping me!

[@BretagneBuonaparte2025]

Right on! I’m an army veteran but this song came out after

[@JonathanHealey-k9d]

I bet you appreciate that today though hahahah (and boot camp to)

[@jollyjamiep]

@@BretagneBuonaparte2025 no no it didn’t it’s off “I’m an elastic firecracker” I joined July 1995. I know what I did.

[@comedycat2]

This song was so much better than I Got A Girl, yet no one remembers it. Always how it goes

[@WaitingForTheHook]

I wish their performance of it on the Conan show was on youtube.

[@tb9489]

uh, yes maybe, I got a girl still was a great live tune. Saw the at big day out Atlanta in 1995 and was very impressed

[@danskretteburg]

i actually heard this one first and i agree

[@spaceedementia]

Heard a random clip of a trippin daisy song in Mystery Men.... had to search my brain to recognize the band. As soon as I did, I looked them up... skipped I got a girl and came here Fuggin high school vibes 🖤🖤🖤

[@iforc]

I really liked both, I still get them both stuck in my head to this day.

[@driferdark4339]

This might have been my favorite band of the 90s,so psychedelic.

[@ronfroehlich4697]

So very psychedelic

[@tortis6342]

so very psychedelic

[@shahtan]

I was 15 at the time when this one was released and the lyrics still hit after all these years, at 43.

[@avadarkness666]

🖤 One of my most favorite albums since being a teenager in 1999. That album image is so stunning.

[@priscillagrrr4405]

Wow, haven't heard this song in 15+ years... forgot how much I loved this band back then!!!

[@hotforewan]

I remember this song. If my teen years didn't suck so bad, I'd have more fond memories of the 90's. The music is all I care to remember.

[@brandonedge]

Hear, hear

[@paulgarcia2180]

I have a soft place in my heart for Tripping Daisy. forever and ever.

[@splithare1]

Tripping daisy are without a doubt one of the best and underrated bands of the 90s if not all time. There was some patchy stuff (and I got a girl is not exactly their best song) but Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb was a work of progressive genius. They were ahead of their time, and wes was taken from us too soon. Sigh.

[@LoveRealLife]

💯

[@jmoney6652]

Music used to have a soul, I miss that.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

Bands used to have to work harder to get noticed.

[@imamonkey117]

I miss being a teen in the 90s.

[@CorvusTX]

Tell me about it, I miss those days.

[@SuicidalKamikaze]

@@brookestonex5497 Doesn't mean people can't remember it fondly.

[@genxtasy9914]

I miss the 90s in general

[@jtucker813]

@@genxtasy9914 meee too!

[@lin_is_a_bird]

Me toooooooooo! We had it made!

[@insiduous123]

I did a little performance to this song in 9th grade theatre. It was awesome. I prolly wasn't, but I was just happy to have one of my favorite band's music on at school. haha. great song. I miss them. Wish I'd gotten to see them play..

[@cotiaratv3651]

Leaving this comment here, so that whenever someone likes it, I'll be reminded of my hero. 🌹

[@cotiaratv3651]

Thank you!

[@bedspringkiss]

This song came out 17 years ago and still is the jam!

[@GopherAtl]

This comment was made 10 years ago and it's still true! Except for the 17 part should be corrected to 27 I guess

[@OperationPhantom]

@@GopherAtl 28, how time flies like a self-built aeroplane

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

Strange comment. What does the year the song came out have to do with it being a good song. Rush and Pink Floyd wrote some of the greatest songs of all time in the 70s that are timeless.

[@shawnwilliams6819]

So i used to work at city java, to the left of trees 1993-5. Bribed my way into many shows with latte's for the door people. Tripping Daisy was my favorite band back then.

[@jasonblair298]

The complicated web of the '90's cashless hook-up economy was a thing to behold.

[@jtucker813]

that's really cool man 😊

[@brennag.7042]

Ahhh I've been to many shows at trees!

[@baumer2504]

Loved me some TREES

[@andrewk8054]

Yeah, this song will forever be a part of my highschool years, freakin awesome!

[@ashleys5912]

This song will never get old. God I forgot how much I love it

[@gummo6596]

Keep thoughts high in the sky You're like a big kite That's flying from people Who want to keep you down Down in the crowds Where they're always breakin' out Watch out for piranhas There's always piranhas Watch out for piranhas Ready or not Like it or not Here they come again It's a shame But you are just laughing People want to keep you in the dark You're always a mess But you're always a step ahead of the crowd Watch out for piranhas There's always piranhas Watch out for piranhas So many times I have been late While feeling the breeze Tons of hopeless thoughts in me Now I'm free And now I'm free! Watch out for piranhas You can be what you want It's a matter of time Prepare to be amazed You're flashing They're frowning You flash the clover leaf cheer It's a game You're winning There's always so many piranhas Watch out for piranhas There's always piranhas Watch out for piranhas

[@Msed519]

Thank you guys. I lived this music in college in the 90s. And now my kids listen to your music.

[@JonnyH123]

TD one great 90’s alt rock band, never got the recognition that they deserved. Loved these guys, they were part of the 90’s scene that defined a new generation ✌️😎

[@abrahamkim1078]

When Denton, TX took on the world on the backs of Tim and Wes. Texas proud. “Trip along” was a giant track amongst any guitar band from that era. “Prick” was a dagger in the hearts of them all. R.I.P., Wes.

[@BlackTarInTheChinaWhiteHouse]

Absolutely! Denton: there's no place else quite like it.

[@JanisKowalczyk]

​@@BlackTarInTheChinaWhiteHouseDenton. The heart of happiness.

[@bedspringkiss]

Tripping Daisy was the best band of their generation, hands down.

[@cason211]

God I loved this song as a teen. The memories it brings back almost make me cry.... :)

[@ThatsNotMyName420]

YOU KNOW IM FREE FROM PIRANHA’S There’s so many!! This song brought back some teenage memories!!!

[@sharonlittle7067]

This song really takes me back to better days. I was 15 and absolutely loved this song . Thank you Tripping Daisy

[@chadcassidy1580]

Always loved Tim's voice!

[@shanepalmer4055]

I saw them at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas sometime in the early 90's. Great Band!

[@jonathankerr4317]

Singer's facial expressions are infectiously good

[@threeplusfire5975]

My best friend James and I saw them every time they came down to Liberty Lunch in Austin. Tripping Daisy absolutely killed it live, they were always such a joyous, energetic show. Whenever I hear them, I think about James and being a sweaty mess in that packed venue.

[@CoffeeNLiveMusicLiaison]

I wish The Youngins of the World were taught this song in mandatory music classes - like in say, 3rd grade. All Young kids need music. And they need this song in their arsenal ... 💜💚💛☯️

[@chameleonquest]

I recently got into St.Vincent. I was pleasantly surprised to find she has ties to Polyphonic Spree (and in turn, Tripping Daisy). So much great and under appreciated music.

[@garrettmortensen2222]

I swear this band was so underrated amazing❤

[@BlackTarInTheChinaWhiteHouse]

How have I never seen Tim DeLaughter fly over the Trinity River in a home-made steampunk hang-glider? This is the best of the 90s & Dallas by way of Denton.

[@bl_2410]

Totally forgot about this song, and that makes me sad. Haven’t heard it in 25 years, and it’s still amazing.

[@jodysteck322]

This one right on in here from my home State of Texas is one of the very best evermore. Period.

[@glenntremblay5406]

Their videos really put out the young vibe which of course the point. I like watching them out helps to remind me of sunnier day gone by. Hope these guys are doing well.

[@MarkTifer]

I was 20 years old and a Life Guard in the OBX... And selling most of the swimmers their weed each day from my fanny pack. And you guys were my Soundtrack for a lot of those great memories. Miss you guys... I wore out this album and Bill like no one's business.

[@Jonze78]

This song is so good. Very underrated album and band. One of my favourites!

[@ajbailey01]

This song was so fucking underrated!! This is what the 90s was all about!!

[@some_oldsoul1129]

Awesome lyrics , Very True, Motivational, and Self-Actualizing. Love the Positive Vibes this song invokes within me....... and now I'm Free!!!

i loved these guys 18 years agoand still come back for more. love it

Revisit this after 20+ yrs.

[@urtheman464]

Seen them in concert with Def Leppard loved this song ever since.

[@turferguson1219]

This song is still pertinent and brilliant today in 2023 ❤ (RIP Wes)

[@newtownbelievers5862]

Great memories- when me and bestie were 15 we went to see Silverchair in London Feb 1996 and you guys were supporting act- we'd never heard this song but buy the end we were all singing along! So great. Got given a promo tape of I Got A Girl- the bridge of that song is beatles level pop/rock perfection!

[@SukitTrabeck]

More people need to experience this bands music!!!

[@rod0325]

Loved them in college and now I recently found my old CDs and it is always good to hear these words again to remind ourselves to always be true to yourself.

[@Joemama5632]

what a great tune!!! I DEMAND A COMEBACK!!!!!!!

[@blomeup2day]

I loved seeing them at the Shelter in Detroit in the late 90s. There was maybe 50 people in a basement while they just put on an amazing show.

[@CosmicCherrry]

Got to see em in '95 in Atlanta, GA - i agree that they deserved much more than they got - but then it's our little treasure that the masses didn't destroy, right?

[@EricspazLewis]

Wow, I remember living in Dallas, and TD was the band to see! Where did the 90's go???? Blown Away, My Umbrella - 2 of my favorite songs to drum cover.

[@jerrylockhart6152]

such a great song and an awesome video! love it!

[@orieta1520]

I’m currently working on a paper about hippie culture hence why I just found this band while I was researching, but omg I’m surprised I never heard of them! I love 90’s bands this is def going in my favorites playlist!

damn I miss Wes. I still remember getting the news the following day. everyone was heartbroken. such raw talent taken too soon

[@jesussaves2934]

I had a ton of surgeries due to cancer and a rare disease ten years ago and this song is more relevant to me now than ever. You'd be amazed how people act, there's always piranhas...... #2022

this song is so awesome can we still say awesome

[@SerenityTexas]

@kamikazefighta They were big here in North Texas. Actually, their one hit was "I Got a Girl". It got air play and some MTV play but IMO they had some other songs that were better than Got a Girl. Now they are The Polyphonic Spree and they are still putting out great music.

[@AbsoluteStud]

April 2019. Some songs get old and cheesy. Not this one. Mid-life crisis: averted.

If I ever happen to forget this masterpiece, please consider me a forgotten amoeba.

[@captainbeefheart176]

Somehow I missed this song when it came out, and discovered it after watching "I Got A Girl." I really screwed the pooch back in 1995, because this has got to be one of my favorite songs now.
