Pavle Zvekić ,I'm from the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in NC, if he doesn't have a clue, he's pretty fucking good,cause that song oozed old school bluegrass
Reggie has had several albums before he went to this particular "style". Look up the group Maktub if you want to hear him sing in a more conventional way. "Uptown Feeling" is a really nice track.
Yeah...I'm equally astounded at how many people don't get his comedy!! It seems that people are baffled when a person does something that doesn't fit in the classic format of things. Thanks for your post. Cheers.
The closest thing i know of, close meaning another representation of a historically caucasian genre, is a track i believe is called Hills of Donegal. Its a Celtic sounding ballad and its hilarious. **edit: Fields of Donegal**
I watched this on mushrooms years ago when I was freaking out peaking and it helped to bring me back to earth. I just stared at his hair and got lost in the music. 😂
i love appalachian mouth music...is awesome he digs it and does a amazing interpritation..ughh i want more..i wish there was a studio recording of this.
"Few things first off right off the bat, just want to make a few things clearer: The last person in here was entered into a contest for last person in here. And wins a special prize. That last person WILL be announced at the end of the evening and that person is going to have a really nice time with the package that we've developed here with Webster hall. A little house keeping: Webster hall IS owned by the 80's sitcom character Webster."
Man he still manages to surprise me after all this time. I didn't think this would be as good as it is and when he made that deep voice it was like a totally different person had come out. He absolutely nailed the vibe.
Hes a star from a galixy far away. just shows that humans can be much more than we think .. when u get away from mainstream thinking and allow yourself to have the courage to do your own thing. :D
I love how Reggie directs our attention to the screen behind him but whoever recorded this felt no need whatsoever to include that particular part of the experience.
@@smokejc Many things do. It's tragic really. Doesn't make me love Reggie any less. Or you for that matter. If my missunderstanding gave you any small amount of amusement or joy in this world then I feel like I have done my part to make this world a better place in some small way. And if my ignorance somehow offended you or brought you any amount of discomfort...I apologize.
One of the tricks that Reggie uses is that lyrics doesn't matter, just how it sounds coming out. It doesn't matter what he says or if its even just babbling, we perceive it as art, and it is.
Exactly. I've always felt that way about music in general. I don't pay any attention to the lyrics, just the sounds they make and the melodies/harmonies they produce.
I personally think it's great to hear how Reggie gets an audience's attention and causes them to be active, rather than simply standing up on a stage, doing his thing, and leaving as if the audience isn't there.
How are these people commenting that the crowd sucks!? They are applauding loudly and seem to me like they are genuinely loving every minute of the performance!
that's the exact reaction i have... i watch the video, not knowing what to think and then when it's over i sit there, nod my head and think "Ah Reggie Watts"
This is quite possibly the best interpretation of "Chippawoo" I've ever heard. Mr. Watts gets straight to the point with his sacred music, knowing more about Appalachia than the Appalachians, and his ability to woo the crowd is testament to his sanctimonious divinity. Musically, this is perfection. Lyrically, this is written from the soul. Sensically, the feeling of this song is that of the very last note, which must be heard only after the first notes.
I like the 1983 version with Leo Hosky and Shep Wilson, but I think Watts has really applied those earlier traits to this modern rendition with relative sincerity. Many Appalachian poets and cultural analysts have made comparisons of these elements in the given substructure of theater and arts commentary, so you'll see that as well.
Honestly I love the crowd reactions, Reggie is such a show that its fun to see them experience how amazing he is, and by the end it's just a ton of love. Although I extremely hate it when a regular singer is live and everyone and their mother is singing over the artist, especially when its the person holding the camera and they cant sing worth shit
He so good at synthesizing his personal style with whatever he's integrating. This is so reggie watts but you still recognize appalachian style even though you might not be familiar with it.
Because it's opinion and counters the majority of comments, IE its trash that we aren't buying so stop selling it, fucking spammers, the audience is gold.

His hair is like a Energy expression of his mind bursting out of his head
Having lived in the Appalachian mountains most of my life this just makes me happy :)
Aldo he improvised the whole thing and has no clue about Appalachian music. xD
+Pavle Zvekić how can you say he has no clue about it? you have to have a knowledge of something if you are going to parody it.

I wish he actually did albums. He has a unique and beautiful voice. :)
Veronika Ribey he does he has some on spotify.

Reggie Watts has a LOT of great material. This, for whatever reason, was one of my favorite musical pieces.
worlds greatest freestyler
I've seen a lot of Reggie Watts videos on youtube and I have to say I think this is the most beautiful song I've heard so far.
would rate this song as one of his best...swear to god this could be an actual hit!
Reggie is very talented.... I'd love to see him live...
+Jerkoff ...as far as I know he is alive ...
+Gatto Buono ha
He’s lived. Boy has he lived.
Yeah...I'm equally astounded at how many people don't get his comedy!! It seems that people are baffled when a person does something that doesn't fit in the classic format of things. Thanks for your post. Cheers.
I immediately went and listened to Appalachian music after this video, and I must say.. Reggie nailed it.
I have been whistling, humming and add libbing this all day.
Reggie Watts is infinitely talented, amazing!
I wish there was a studio version of this song
Band name and song name? Would love to hear it!
Nonchalant1996 It's all improvised!
hows the progress coming?
The closest thing i know of, close meaning another representation of a historically caucasian genre, is a track i believe is called Hills of Donegal. Its a Celtic sounding ballad and its hilarious.
**edit: Fields of Donegal**
I recently found a song that I believe has something to do with this, it’s from 1834 and extremely racist. Do what you want with that information.
I watched this on mushrooms years ago when I was freaking out peaking and it helped to bring me back to earth. I just stared at his hair and got lost in the music. 😂
I sing this melody all the time. Reggie is a genius.
Wow!
Reggie has the most awesome sweaters on in every video on youtube.
I always xome back to this song.
That has to be the most talented pineapple I've ever seen.
It’s actually a really beautiful piece

Only discovered this guy recently. He’s amazing!
Dude's crazy talented. Must be nice to have that vocal range and perfect pitch and rhythm.
This is one of my favorites he's ever done!
I jam this shit so hard :) ....daily.

@@jasonblackwell5456 2 years later and I still heard the joke bounce off the wall behind your head 😉
Kentuck is an annual festival in Tuscaloosa, AL. This guy knows so many obscure things...
Where has this guy been all my life? Or more like where have I been that I hadn't heard him before?
I know this was a joke, but this has to be one of my favorites by him.
endlessly talented this man
This is hands down my favorite comment on any social media site ever. Thank you good sir.
We need to start a social media campaign to get a studio version of this song! #HelpUsOutReggie
Thanks for posting
I've forgotten about him. Now I remember why I loved him!

@@daniela_dundel jeez 10 years ago, let it go 😂
This is honestly one of the best songs I have heard. Like I actually would listen to this!
Reminds me of when I got an eight track recorder and the amazing things I could do with it. Then there was Audacity. Best time of my life.
He's awesome
Life is like a dream thanks to reggie watts!!
I personally think it's great to hear how Reggie gets an audience's attention and causes them to be active, rather than simply standing up on a stage, doing his thing, and leaving as if the audience isn't there.
awesome! thanks
Wow, really enjoyed this. Not a problemo with the audience's laughter
Yeah, some of it is... Appalachian music has rich, deep roots with lots of soul...
really epic stuff, thanks for uploading
I know! If there's one thing I absolutely HAAAATE it is the pure unfiltered therapeutic release of laughter. I'm like just SHUT UP! Right?!
"The crowd blah blah blah."
Im cool with laughs, it´s the people literally screaming im against.
I would look forward to the day where "WOO!" stops happening but I'm sure I'm going to die before that ever plausibly happens
i loveeeeee this reggie
I was there!!!
Meta Music genious .. love him
Genius.
thanks, really
This is awesome!!
Fucking New York...
HAHA that Appalachian music is so funny! Lol CULTURE!
But it all sounds so meaningful.
How are these people commenting that the crowd sucks!? They are applauding loudly and seem to me like they are genuinely loving every minute of the performance!
hey wondering if you can explain some shit for everybody because we need more of that around here. thanks.
Can anyone recommend other music quite like this? Freakin' awesome!
its awesome that he exists
Thank you, it is.
God I Love this guy. Genius.
that's the exact reaction i have... i watch the video, not knowing what to think and then when it's over i sit there, nod my head and think "Ah Reggie Watts"
amazing.
so inspiring, a national treasure he was.
holy shit. thats awesome.!
He's hilarious and is making it up on the spot
bah chill out man, they're loving it
Shades of NGDB’s “Fishin’ in the Dark” during the song’s intro

I, too, am tripping balls
@@6JoJo6 Those were good days, eight years ago. There was innocent fun back then.
What a talent!
Yeah !! That's it!
Reggie watts I swear , start releasing more stuff to tape, PLEASE!!! I've Bought everything with you in it! Its not enough!!
So much Win!
Reggie should have his own tv show
there would be some awesome laughs in that fosho
nice layered vocal harmonies

But Hugh....you know man, every made comparison in the given structure is a give away. Likely dreads.
epic!
He's a really good singer.
Remember guys: 'Think about it, just think about the Music.'
The lyrics I can understand are great.
The lyrics I can't understand are also great.
maybe 7 years too late to ask but can you transcribe what he is singing. especially the tongue twister part.
"Just" calling him a comedian wouldn't be doing him justice.
Unfair, Nick!

What a rare talent.
LMAO This man is AMAZING!
One of reggie's best tracks!!! Wish the audience would have shut the hell up for it though.....
Robert Litsenberger ...it is a comedy show. ..so...😐
"EMERGENCY EXIT" by Beck emerged in and around 2:44
He so good at synthesizing his personal style with whatever he's integrating. This is so reggie watts but you still recognize appalachian style even though you might not be familiar with it.
God Reggie your creative talent depresses me.. in a happy way..
this guy is an absolute legend/inspiration to me, im a dj/producer but he keeps me sane and happy, reggie watts i fucking love you man :D
Sweet
Laughter is a common response to confusion...
also to funny things
“Chipperwood “, totally legit Appalachian lingo. Also plays well in the mid-western back woods
i want that jumper!
Because it's opinion and counters the majority of comments, IE its trash that we aren't buying so stop selling it, fucking spammers, the audience is gold.
Yes he does. It is awesome. I am also really stoned so it is most defiantly maybe.
the god of code-switching
Ap…uh…latch..uh. Let’s all get it right. That said, Reggie can sing. Beautiful voice beautiful mind…from an Appalachian.
