dontknownuthin Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 To me this sounds like one of those classic tunes that's catchy in it's pre-album form but gets a sonic overhaul in the studio and comes out the other side a real gem. Can't wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 yeah i agree. this definitely has to be a song that's been worked on in the studio when they've said they've already recorded stuff. this is easily the most promising of the new ones we've heard.

Are times getting toughAre the roads you travel roughHave you had enough of the oldtired of being exposed to the cold Stare at your stereoPut on your headphones and pull out your hair, oh, oh, oh, oh ColbertColbertColbert will love you baby! So many wars that just can't be won, oh oh ohEven before the battle's begun, oh oh ohThis is all of our arms open wideSonic shoulder for you to cry -y -y -y -y WilcoWilco will love you baby! Is someone twisting a knife in your backAre you being attacked?Oh this is a fact that you need to know oh oh oh oh WilcoWilcoWilcoWilcoWilco will love you baby!!!!!! Thanks Wilco, I love you too! I'd suggest leaving the Colbert reference out, if they ever decide to play it again. Other than that, it's a perfect anthem for any fan who has ever found refuge through the music of Wilco.

holyshit Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Living, as I do, in Hitler's Asscrack, Ohio, and wondering how I'm going to make it through the next few days and the legal nightmare that may begin November 5, I have to thank Wilco for this tune. I've never posted here before, and I won't go into the grim details, but wow...did I need a sympathetic shoulder and WOW...did the guys come through. Next time, though, we need to see Jeff spiffed up in the expensive suit and tie and Stephen in the Tweedy, ah, uniform. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hey Everyone, I love Wilco The Song. I finally remembered what it reminded me of. The Cure's Never Enough. Especially the music and playfulness of the song. The Greatest Hits version more than the one off Mixed Up. Anyone else think of this song ? Otherwise, very glad that they did it today in WI. Thanks, Kristofor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CommerceComet Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'd suggest leaving the Colbert reference out, if they ever decide to play it again. Then what would rhyme with "hair?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco Worshipper Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks Wilco, I love you too! it's a perfect anthem for any fan who has ever found refuge through the music of Wilco.TOTALLY AGREE!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

~A~ Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 They just re-ran the episode. I love this song. It is really catchy. The first time I heard it I was just too busy trying to listen to the lyrics. Excellent song! Bravo, Wilco! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hitler's Asscrack, Ohio, Welcome to the board! Wilco changes minds one mind at a time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkiesmile Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Good song. Normally it annoys me when a band mentions their name in a song but Jeff does it with a nudge and a wink. It has the right amount of cockiness and bravado. Very catchy. I hope there are more like it down the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Living, as I do, in Hitler's Asscrack, Ohio I'll assume that's on the outskirts of Cincinnasty. Anyway, welcome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'll assume that's on the outskirts of Cincinnasty. Anyway, welcome! From a recent episode, Colbert called Canton, OH "Hitler's Asscrack." Mostly because he had already gotten all the other Cantons in the United States angry with him, so he had no other Canton to insult besides the Ohio one, which even earlier he called "the real Canton." I wish Hitler's Asscrack were outside the Nasty 'nati, though. For those interested in rocking out themselves to it, I tabbed it out here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
