Lynch Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I really enjoyed that. It was fun. And the socialism jokes were entertaining. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LenF Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I am not sure if this was their intent, but I love the idea that they played a song that fits right into the absurd humor of the show instead of trying to choose a song to market themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Some of the lyrics aside, really digging it upon first listen, a good upbeat pop song. Some of the drums reminded me of something from the YHF demos, maybe the rockin' version of "Kamera." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I had a shitty day, but that really did put a smile on my face. Wilco will love you baby! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
orchestra Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Yeah, I can definitely see the YHF demos comparison. It definitely sounded like that era, maybe even like Summerteeth a little bit. I liked it even more than the other new songs, I think. Good stuff. I hope a video/mp3 pops up soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edie Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 It was very beatles-esque -- and I mean that in the best way. Very poppy, fun and loved the nels riffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hazel Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 loved it, i need this episode on my ipod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 It was very beatles-esque -- and I mean that in the best way. How could beatle-esque possibly be bad?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't think that was Nels. That's the way the ending song always sounds. Pretty sure it was one of the guys, because when the guitar part kicked in, the crowd starting cheering really loud as the credits were rolling. I've heard the theme song a lot and sounded like someone was playing something overtop it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davewil Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Just me, or would that have been the best song on sky blue sky? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hollinger. Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 That would have been the best song on Rubber Soul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm watching the official rerun of the show. SO GOOD. The interview is so good. I loved the "if Hilary invites us" line. woah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lasted Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I was at the taping tonight and they played "Christ For President" after the taping. They actually taped it with Colbert introducing it, so I wonder if they were planning on using it in case something went wrong with the audio, etc on "Wilco the Song".

DAngerer09 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 That's interesting. I wonder how often bands that go on there get multiple shots at songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusetc84 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I was in the emergency room tonight and missed this...can anyone possibly upload this new song? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stickman Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Just caught the west coast broadcast. That was a lot of fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griddles Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Defiantly could not understand most of the words. The music was alight, not the close to the worst Wilco song ever ( aka whatever you think it is). A lyric treatment would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Just caught the west coast broadcast. That was a lot of fun!Me too and yeah it was fun. Great to see one of their Grammy awards on Mike's gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pillowy star Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Does it happen often that Colbert broadcasts shows from a day earlier as the newest show ? Anyway, until they fixed their problems, you can watch Wilco here: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CommerceComet Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 full episode is on Huluhttp://www.hulu.com/watch/41732/the-colber...thu-oct-30-2008 This song sounds similar to "Sunny Feeling," only better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Conrad Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 You can also download a torrent of the entire show at http://www.latebyte.nl (registration required). Great song, btw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The song reminded me a lot of "Just a Kid," and the band looked like just kids having a blast. Cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
