This was amusing for about 10 seconds, and then it became fucking musical genius. These guys are goddamn ridiculous. That’s one of the greatest things I’ve seen...ever.
This performance is genius! The Cleverlys perform this song so seamlessly that you would swear it is their own. Their performance is so earnest - it totally sells the song. This song is now one of my all-time faves!! Congrats to The Cleverlys!!
Somebody should go google who wrote and preformed “No Diggity”, who has ownership of this song! I am just blown away that these mountain men work it like this...the country version of this rap song is really pretty good...I like it! Country rap! Wow!
Absolutely and its still got a little of that comical flair but in an absolutely genus way, then it's wonderful to listen to. I dig the hell out of it.
Who would have ever thought that "Funk" could be so seamlessly a part of bluegrass and have create such a masterpiece! Mixture of two music cultures yet both compliment each other. Instant fan!!!!
Digger and the Cleverlys, I love your comedy. the way you flow from one song to the next is amazing. i would love to hear a full version of high on the mountain, every time it gets to that part it send chillys down my spinnage....
@Guy Tero Yeah, sort of. There's a whole genre that's been around for at least 15 years called "hick-hop". I'd recommend looking up Tennessee Shine & Jawga Boyz - Hick Hop Thang (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO), Moonshine Bandits ft. Colt Ford, Sarah Ross, Demun Jones - We All Country (Official Video), or anything by Chad Mac or Big Smo as good starting points, if you're curious.
I gotta say, I never expected that! That is super cool! Man! I love to see bands mix it up and make songs new again. EXCELLENT!!! Great beat box too!!! Very COOL!!!
Check out the cleverlys "milkshake" dern right its better than yuns I could teach you but id have to charge.... The live one 😆 he says hardcore country
@Steven Kies Haaa!!😂😅 that'd be freakin perfect for them. Giggling so hard I can't type lmao! I just envision them up there getting their groove on. So cool!! ✌️😁😊
@@GingerKC The funny thing is is that people think that I'm weird for thinking that. They always ask me where I come up with that. Well, look at The Cleverly's, there is nothing wrong with what their singing and the audience is having a good old time. Lol 😂😆😂
I do not look at color when it comes to music! If I like the song sung by whomever...I just like it! Now, would I pay to go sit and watch them...is another story!
@@carlchiveral3294 the true pleasure in music is watching it evolve and embrace other genres. The gentlemen have even cleaned up the language, in keeping with traditional bluegrass heritage.
Just because you play instruments or sang in 3 bands, doesn't mean that you are good, anymore than it means you know jack about music.Dan Tyminski and the rest are Newgrass players. Which absolutely takes from other styles ranging from rock, punk, world, reggae, jazz and blues. Here's a link for you: www.theguitarjournal.com/what-is-newgrass-music/
I came across this by accident and was like wth? BUT... The more I listen to it and the talent of these guys I am TOTALLY hooked now. I LOVE IT. Keep up the awesomeness. Definitely gonna buy the album. Love the melody of the voices too. And I agree. Do the whole song of High On A Mountain. 👍🏻
Inadvertently rolled across this tonight and wow - I'm glad I did. The artistry in this, in every single component this track is comprised of, is truly genius. And I don't say this loosely. Incredible talent you guys - keep it up! Share that gift!
Saw the Cleverly’s in Palatka this past Nov, they closed Fri nite and seemed half the crowd left, they were funny as heck and got a standing O! Loads of fun but don’t expect your standard bluegrass show!
Loooove this! One listen (of the first few seconds)....I was sold. So much talent in that studio room. Can only imagine hearing them live. That beat box and lead singer are unreal. Pure talent. The entire band. Man, the music industry is going to be just fine with these musicians. Glad to see talent like this! Got this on repeat!!😉
This is the Best version that Digger & “this”group of guys sang. They Really brang it. Who is the long hair beside Digger? He’s really good but I’ve only seen him a couple times. Ricky Lloyd is an all time favorite people love. Excellent on bass. They are all excellent players and singers. I’m very happy that all the years, hard work and determination has finally paid off for the last of the, “Original” Cleverly. You’ve done it, and the boys bring it out. Congrats.

As a black man that loved "The Dukes of Hazzard" as a kid this just feels right!
🤔👀 when we were children we didn't know any better. Now that we do, this version of this song should be offensive. 🤦
The bass player deserves a raise ! 🔥
Give props to the man beatboxing the rhythm.
and that boy beat boxing...this the shit that makes America great!
I believe the group “Blackstreet” would be most flattered that the men have covered their music in this way! Mountain Rap!
I grew up in a bluegrass town but loved rap I loved it when gansta grass mixed the genres this is tight
Theres a vfc whole gangstergrass subculture now
@@superimposedfun where is this bluegrass town of which you speak? I want to go to there.
Awesome....wow..I love it....a blend of culture... Fantastic...
💯💪🏼

I never heard the original. This one is all I need.
@@wayawolf1967 Step out and listen to the original, too. Music is universal. Love it!
Ummm no its definitely Blackstreets lol but its definitely cute funny and actually relaxing
That’s kinda sad
Country hipster BS
Worthy of 1.7 billion views.
Until I saw this I was absolutely convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that country Music had sold its soul. Thanks for restoring my faith folks.
Comes from rap, yet, it shares the same sentiment. Now what soul? Truly if you think about it? What spirit from who or where?. I love both versions. 😅
@@scottiestarcher409 yep always trying to colonize or appropriate us.
This did no justice to the original. 😮🙄🧐🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
What! Country music!! You must be thinking about rap music, which was invented buy our government to spread the devil through the radio, really!
I stumbled upon this and must have watched it at least 20 times... it's incredible!
Welcome to the club
I'm Black and love this version. No Diggity No Doubt
I’m white and I loved this! Lol
I'm white and dontgive a damn that your black and liked it...they dont need "black approval" lol

This just kills.. It should be comical but it's literal musical genius.
Might even say...It's pretty clever. ;)
Well put your exactly right.I love it
Shared this with the kids and grandkids. All said "WOW " !!♡♡♡♡
This is just wrong.....but it’s right. Insane.
Absolutely and its still got a little of that comical flair but in an absolutely genus way, then it's wonderful to listen to. I dig the hell out of it.
Love how they incorporated Del McCoury’s High on the Mountain!
Did NOT expect this to work. I was WRONG. Excellent!👏👏👏
I'm a bluegrass fanatic. I listen to it every night. I ALWAYS jam out to this. Bluegrass meets a whole different level of boys with bluegrass roots.
This is stankin' awesome.
Even the fiddler can't help but smile -- he knows they are killin' it with this performance
This didn't seem like it should work, yet somehow it totally worked.
Me: I don't like country music. Also me: YEE HAW! TURN UP THEM CLEVERLIES!!!
Check out more, gangstagrass. Rabbit hole is a good one 👍
These guys are legends. Their tag line should be “We’ll make it fit.”
This song deserves 10,000,000 likes
That was some mighty fine apickin and asingin.

Hello? Who’s the head honcho around here?
Some country stank! I love it 🥰. I was prepared to laugh but am shocked.
This performance was absolutely incredible. Genius musicians knocking it out of the park!
This might just be the greatest thing I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
Totally sucked. It dont take much to please you
Agreed I have listened to this sooo many times! It’s amazing, and I don’t know why. I just keep listening and reminding myself this was live!
Have you watched...their gangnam style😂👌...in.cred.ible
@@ebjeezer they are all fine musicians, and fine voices, and they must practice a great deal...it really is a touching song done so well...
In case you haven't seen it yet, check out "Gin and Juice" from Snoop Dogg as done by The Gourds.
Gangsta Grass is real AF. and it's good stuff.
Ok. This was dope. Lol go on white boys, get down.
Love it! Just cool dudes. I appreciate this! Would love to here them at the RVA FOLK FESTIVAL.
The no diggity section was incredible. Well played, sirs.
Who would have ever thought that "Funk" could be so seamlessly a part of bluegrass and have create such a masterpiece! Mixture of two music cultures yet both compliment each other. Instant fan!!!!
Wow! That was fantastic! Hillbilly Rap Rules! Made me smile on this weird day.
❤️❤️❤️🤗
Brilliant musicians
Never thought I'd see these two styles combined and sound this good. Supreme talent, musicianship, and a good arrangement! Love it!
If ya like this, check out Gangstagrass.
@@tgb8384 They are amazing!!

Was gonna say gangstagrass is dope doing this as thier whole style

This is fantastic!
“Put your hands in the air”!!! Love this 100x over!!
Heehawww in the house. I'm a instant fan
This needs to be in a Western show/movie. My father turned me on to this. All their songs are incredible
“Yo Lloyd drop the beat” 😂😂😂
Lol same...kills me!
Best part!
😭😭🤣🤣
Digger and the Cleverlys, I love your comedy. the way you flow from one song to the next is amazing. i would love to hear a full version of high on the mountain, every time it gets to that part it send chillys down my spinnage....
Same here!
This needs a little more love today! Go diggity!!!
These guys crack me up... they have talent, and keep me laughing.
This proves that great music is just that, regardless of genre!
1000 times by now. Still kicks me in the ass.
Probably my favorite live music video on youtube, must have seen it 100 times and will see it 100 more. The creativity and talent is outstanding!!
Wow I’ve already watched several songs these guys are very talented. Speechless
Uuuummm.....I LOVE THIS!!!❤️❤️❤️I’m buying they albums!!!
Wow! Now that's a breath of fresh air. Very different. Ten out of ten for brilliance and innovation. Sort of country rap???????

That was some mighty fine Eefing. Riddle and Phelps would be proud.
I have laughed so hard,I think I’m dead..They are fantastic,but yet it made me laugh and laugh..Got to bag it up
I still think this is their greatest. Sorry to see these fellas not in the lineup later on. Brilliant medley.
Currently, my favorite piece of music!
How have I only just found these 😮 amazing talent
This JAMS !!!!! That bass line stomps !!!!
Love it, love it! They just keep getting better!
Wow. These guys play both kinds of music. Country AND western.
Love this version. Genius!
When they sing "this is stankin' awesome!" they ain't a-kidding, nosiree!!!
Over a year old and i just see this now?
Cleverlys " milkshake" is good too
True passion depletes genres I love this soo much!! Yassss!!!❤
Fantastic tribute to Black Street
This and "Low" are my favorite dance workout songs... Thanks Cleverlys... Dancing the pounds off!
Me too! Fun😊
I gotta say, I never expected that! That is super cool! Man! I love to see bands mix it up and make songs new again. EXCELLENT!!! Great beat box too!!! Very COOL!!!
Yeah frickin awesome!!!!
Check out the cleverlys "milkshake" dern right its better than yuns I could teach you but id have to charge.... The live one 😆 he says hardcore country
I wonder if they could do any Missy Elliott rap songs.
@Steven Kies Haaa!!😂😅 that'd be freakin perfect for them. Giggling so hard I can't type lmao! I just envision them up there getting their groove on. So cool!! ✌️😁😊
@@GingerKC The funny thing is is that people think that I'm weird for thinking that. They always ask me where I come up with that. Well, look at The Cleverly's, there is nothing wrong with what their singing and the audience is having a good old time. Lol 😂😆😂
If you haven't seen them live, you need to. They are such a talented, tight band. And Digger's sense of humor. Great night of entertainment.
So this is what happens when some big city music finds its way into the hollers? Outstanding! ❤
Beatbox and bangin strings... so unfricking believable!!! Kinda reminds me of Levon up on cripple creek....
I don’t care what anyone says, Levon was the Band.
These boys are cold.......remind me of the "Soggy Bottom Boyz"
I thought the same thing
I do not look at color when it comes to music! If I like the song sung by whomever...I just like it! Now, would I pay to go sit and watch them...is another story!

You guys ROCK! Keep em’ coming
Frikkin' LOVE this mash-up. The Cleverlys did an amazing job, I currently have this on repeat..... Can't - get - enough! :D
dang just rolled into this by accident, thought "what the flip" but actually brilliant! great talent and great fun!
How does this not have millions of views ?
I despise Bluegrass, but am absolutely in love with this! "Low" used to be my favorite Cleverly song, but this one just took over the lead. ❤❤❤
This......just changed my life!
I came across this by accident and was like wth? BUT... The more I listen to it and the talent of these guys I am TOTALLY hooked now. I LOVE IT. Keep up the awesomeness. Definitely gonna buy the album. Love the melody of the voices too. And I agree. Do the whole song of High On A Mountain. 👍🏻
Found this in my feed tonight. 1 minute I decided to subscribe! Frikkin TIGHT baby!
🔥 🔥 I’m hooked
Damn that High On a Mountain part was groovy
Just incredible musicianship as well as imagination.
Inadvertently rolled across this tonight and wow - I'm glad I did. The artistry in this, in every single component this track is comprised of, is truly genius. And I don't say this loosely. Incredible talent you guys - keep it up! Share that gift!
I saw them in person tonight. Extremely talented.
The arrangement is so skillfully done that it perhaps outshines the song itself.
@@pnkgtr IT DOES !!! These guys are awesome.
This is more evidence of something a coworker once told me -"There's a fine line between a redneck and a gangster. "
My 13 year old and I love this song, you know what I like all the players!!
These guys are freaking awesome!
Saw the Cleverly’s in Palatka this past Nov, they closed Fri nite and seemed half the crowd left, they were funny as heck and got a standing O! Loads of fun but don’t expect your standard bluegrass show!
I saw these guys in Greeneville, Tennessee and they were great!
Been following The Cleverlys for years....always entertaining......always different lineups.😍
One of the BEST Covers I have ever heard!!! 😳😁 Keep up the good work guys!!! 😃👊 Weird Al,look out!!! 🙈
Just saw them live. They were as funny as they were talented. Don't miss the chance to see them if they come to your town.
Amazing! These guys are fracking talented. This is going into regular rotation!
This is stinkin' awesome!
This group never disappoints!! They are the bomb!
I call them extremely talented! Love their music!
Just goes to show that ANY song can be redone for any genre. Good job guys!!!!
Awesome! I'm a hardcore Bluegrass fan but I can listen to that all day long!
Please record a single of High on a mountain. That was by far the best version I’ve ever heard. Not bluegrass but Newgrass in HD🤩
Their version FANTASTIC! I also wish they would do the whole thing.
It would be cool to see them and Black Street on stage together!!!
One of my top 5 fave version of this song. Really good version of no diggity/thrift shop
I like the new american folk music . This is it!
This is just INCREDIBLE ❤️❤️❤️
Loooove this! One listen (of the first few seconds)....I was sold. So much talent in that studio room. Can only imagine hearing them live. That beat box and lead singer are unreal. Pure talent.

Damn, these guys... SO freakin' good!
These guys are a hoot! YT algorhythms finally working on the side of good... I was right! Everything sounds better played like bluegrass.
This is the Best version that Digger & “this”group of guys sang. They Really brang it. Who is the long hair beside Digger? He’s really good but I’ve only seen him a couple times.
