Imagine being a metal head who has no idea who Cardiacs is but loves him some Voivod and Municipal Waste so he clicked in expecting something extra brutal but instead hears this and he's like "what the fuck did I just watch and why is it so catchy?" And then he proceeds to get his mind blown looking up the rest of the Cardiacs catalog. Mission accomplished.
I've only been a fan of Cardiacs since Tim died. I'm amazed at how fucking loved they were by so many people, yet they seem like music's best kept secret. I love it!
@@zeitok8 I didn't. I'll admit a lot of bands fly over my head for a long time. We like what we like and get there in there in the end. Seems like a cruel joke to get into some bands so late.
0:14 I like how Jim appears right in the time that he appeared in the original video of "Tarred and Feathered". Nice to see HIM playing this lovely shit again.
I also can't watch this without crying and smiling. "It makes me sad that one day all of us here will be dead". So no, I won't relax too much now but will go out into the world and try and pass on the joy that Tim Smith passed to me.
These immaculate creatures doing immaculate things and Jim amongst them doing Jim things. The pains of existence and loss do not get much more soothed than this.
There's a good reason we never saw Jim smile too much. If we did, we may never recover from the pureness. It's nice to see him smile. I really hope he's okay. Always seemed like a great bloke to hang out with outside of the whole Cardiacs lore & persona. They all did.
Only discovered and got into Cardiacs midway through 2020, and I'm chuffed to see how much love there actually is for the band behind the mainstream veil. This cover is a massive and spectacular accomplishment, and a great tribute to Tim. Well fucking done, guys! Even got Jim to smile :D
Awesome. Voivods Dan Mongraine has been repping the Cardiacs hard for years. I only got into them recently, just before Tims death. Brilliant band. Great tribute. I love that a good portion of these musicians are known for extreme metal, yet they clearly have such reverence for Tim’s work. And including Jim was a master stroke.
I didn’t discover Cardiacs until far too late - October, 2020. “Tarred and Feathered” appeared in my timeline with a sad-looking Jim in the thumbnail. On a whim, I clicked it and instantly became Cardiacs-obsessed. The next couple weeks I spent devouring any and all things Cardiacs. This loving tribute brought a huge smile to my face, a tear of joy to my eye (especially at 2:53), and brought things full circle. A great big thank you to all involved in creating this incredible work of art.
I discovered them after someone commented "Sounds like Cardiacs" on A Winny Puhh vid (they don't but hey, nothing actually does), and it was instant obsession. Like "Where the fuck has this band been all my life", shortly before discovering that Tim Smith was critically ill, and like so many of my favorite bands I had discovered them a little too late to ever see them in their full live splendour. Oh well.
That was about the time the YT video was being recommended, for some reason. I also clicked on it , but earlier and on August 17th instead, when the video only had about 440k views.
Music is a really incredible thing - all these people keeping Tim's spirit going, Dan Mongraine of Voivod keeps Piggy's spirit alive through his playing in the same way, the knowing smile by Jim at the end... music is freakishly beautiful in a way that so clearly transcends the material realm, and this is a gorgeous example of that.
I remember the first night I discovered Cardiacs, about 14 years ago, at 1 am or something. It was like being electrocuted. For the next few days I felt like I was on speed.
Fun fact: Shane Embury was wearing a Cardiacs shirt during Napalm Death's "Live Corruption" show recorded at the Salisbury Arts Centre on June 30th 1990 🙂
Funner fact: Cardiacs recorded their own concert film/live album ("All That Glitters Is a Mares Nest") in the same venue earlier on that afternoon. Both bands shared the same manager, Mark Walmesley.
AHH, every time I watch this I am taken back to watching various bits of "Seaside Treats" on YT almost two decades ago now and becoming irreversibly and irrevocably addicted. Now I am someone who generally has problems naming their favourite of *anything* but I am absolutely unabashedly able to say that Cardiacs are my favourite band. I just wish I was able to see them live before it all went wrong 😭
Im another person who discovered Cardiacs too late but like pretty much everyone else here I loved this tribute to our Leader of The Starry Skies. The biggest legacy is the rest of the music of course but this made me smile. Full respect to all involved, and happy listening to the rest of us :) RIP Tim.
This is just such a wonderful tribute, astonishingly faithful to the original, yet so completely other...everyone who had a hand in this deserves a place in heaven.
I've watched this several times now and I've only now caught on to how perfectly Shane is dressed up, would have fit in without a doubt with the six-piece Cardiacs years
I discovered the CARDIACS when they appeared on The Tube in the late 1980s. I was about 15 I think & I remember talking to my mate Dean ( who introduced me to my still favourite band EXTREME NOISE TERROR) about their appearance on the show. Neither of us knew what it was we had seen or what it had really done but it was definitely one of those positive kind of "What the fuck is this?" moments. Then I remember seeing NAPALM DEATH bassist Shane Embury wearing a CARDIACS t-shirt either on the back of a NAPALM DEATH or UNSEEN TERROR record or in a magazine interview. I never bought anything by them back then as I was spending all my money on hardcore crustpunk d-beat grindcore black death thrash metal though back then to me it was either hardcore thrash or punk. My point being that little CARDIACS tribute was great & made me grin from ear to ear & now at 52 however many years later I'm going to check out their other stuff on TH-cam. Cheers
Everyone involved in this video is worthy of laudation in perpetuity. This was the video that got me through lockdown and made me a Child Bite fan for life. And let's not talk about Jim's smile lest I start crying again...
Thank you! Icame across the original cardiacs video five years ago and it opened my eyes, I thought I had already seen and heard all rock music has to offer, but I realised no, no I have never seen it all. There is always something more inventive and insane and brilliant behind the corner. Respect to Tim Smith and all Cardiacs members and everyone involved in this video! Love from Finland!
Aw, Jim. My phone spat a load of dust into my eyes throughout the whole of this video and I have no idea why. Just thought I'd warn you all in case it makes your eyes sting.
I seem to have been safe watching this video, but I was going to eat an orange after and it jetstreamed orange juice straight into one of my eyes. Yeah be careful guys, this video might be cursed
It's all been said... The talent, effort and multiple skills that was put into creating this, from concept to delivery is utterly wonderful - a real labour of love. Thank you, thank you x
I recently started listening to Cardiacs because of Dan Mongrain and Shane Emburys endorsement, so to see the two of them doing this makes me very happy.
To Tim - our leader of the starry skies. This makes me cry and smile and shiver at the same time. Outstanding. Thank you for this genius and brilliantly exercised idea

Mission accomplished.
As I always say, "welcome to your new favorite band "
That's currently me. I so fucking love discovering some unique/weird music like that.
Yep, happened to me about 8 months ago. Best thing that happened to me in 2020 was discovering Cardiacs.
Not much of a surprise for us Voivod fans. They had Angel Rat after all.
Welcome brother.
Jim’s smile at the end just made me smile and cry at the same time. Beautiful x
Same.
Ditto.
And me
It's just perfect!
Same ❤️❤️
Jim's smile is everything the world needs
yeah - Jims' little smile.......tear welling up here.
@@rigno yep. Me too. Me too.
Yeah, that really warmed my heart.
It made me bawl.
I'm not crying. I have something stuck in my eye, I swear.
EVERYone who 'gets' it is crying right now.
I'm blown away at how special this is.
Absolutely! Just found this and it made my evening.
I went to see them loads and I am
3 years later & Jim's smile is still making me cry every single time 🥰😭
I've only been a fan of Cardiacs since Tim died. I'm amazed at how fucking loved they were by so many people, yet they seem like music's best kept secret. I love it!
any real bungle fan must knew the untouchables cardiacs, fishbone and oingo boingo.
@@zeitok8 I didn't. I'll admit a lot of bands fly over my head for a long time. We like what we like and get there in there in the end. Seems like a cruel joke to get into some bands so late.
Bless Jim :) One of the few occasions where he is not getting a slap :)
Several elderly men and a horse play music that hasn't aged a day. I love it.
I don't think Cardiacs ever operated within the confines of the contemporary. Besides, true art is ageless.
@@arielvarzarevsky3439 Aye
0:14 I like how Jim appears right in the time that he appeared in the original video of "Tarred and Feathered". Nice to see HIM playing this lovely shit again.
JIM! JIM! JIM! JIM! JIM! JIM! JIM! JIM!
Worthy of laudation.
I also can't watch this without crying and smiling. "It makes me sad that one day all of us here will be dead". So no, I won't relax too much now but will go out into the world and try and pass on the joy that Tim Smith passed to me.
The most watched part is Jim's smile at the end.
These immaculate creatures doing immaculate things and Jim amongst them doing Jim things.
The pains of existence and loss do not get much more soothed than this.
Forgot how great this was, what a beautiful ending♥️
There's a good reason we never saw Jim smile too much. If we did, we may never recover from the pureness.
It's nice to see him smile. I really hope he's okay. Always seemed like a great bloke to hang out with outside of the whole Cardiacs lore & persona. They all did.

Aw Jim's smile.... that did my heart good.
I've got something in my eyes too.
Shawn in the boat made my whole month
Super! Fabulous! Strange! Awsome! Cardiacs!
Awesome. Voivods Dan Mongraine has been repping the Cardiacs hard for years. I only got into them recently, just before Tims death. Brilliant band. Great tribute. I love that a good portion of these musicians are known for extreme metal, yet they clearly have such reverence for Tim’s work. And including Jim was a master stroke.
Such a little known band that's been such a huge influence on so many people

Jim's smile at the end brings tears - KISS
The accordion works so well and is probably my favorite part of this cover. Really amazing.
Check out Stian's other work --- he's good at preserving endangered time signatures.
This is the best cover/tribute I've ever heard! Amazing work from everyone! Glad to see Jim too 🙂
shivers down my spine...
This is absolutely awesome and heart-warming, played with balls and fun... Magic! And there's Jim smiling.
Absolutely fantastic. Cardiacs was the greatest band that ever existed, and seeing these amazing artists do the work justice brings me great joy
I remember the first night I discovered Cardiacs, about 14 years ago, at 1 am or something. It was like being electrocuted. For the next few days I felt like I was on speed.
About 10 years ago for me, and I was actually on speed, imagine that. lol good times.
@@guybuddy1 Lol. Must've been crazy. They're one of the most intense bands ever.
14 years ? pfff that's nothing
@@thomasdupont7186 Congratulations on being older than me. I'm sure you feel very proud.
That's how it was for me 3 in the morning end of Januari this year. Still feel like I've always loved Cardiacs
Let's sing of his life!! This is enough to wake the dead Freds!

@@rejapgee Nice! #TheMoreYouKnow 🙂
The fact that Napalm Death recognise Tim Smith as a cultural antecedent should tell you a lot about how far-reaching their influence is.
Beautiful Jim.
All love x
Need more Cardiacs covers!
AHH, every time I watch this I am taken back to watching various bits of "Seaside Treats" on YT almost two decades ago now and becoming irreversibly and irrevocably addicted.

I just wish I was able to see them live before it all went wrong 😭
So sweet, like a treat, most worthy of laudation. (written with a tear in my eye)
Good to listen to this again now that JIM is playing and smiling x x
Fantastic. I needed that.
Jason - if you used to write for an obscure zine in the UK in the early naughties, Mavis says hi.
Holy shit!!!
Indeed as many mentioned. I couldn't hold dry eyes either.
Fabulous tribute.

That title has all the best words
Shane nailing the impression
Good Job All of you
Damn that was amazing! I held out until Jim's smile, then the tears took over.
Bless Jim, my fucking heart ❤
That was a beautiful cover.
RIP Tim, I wish I had known your music earlier.
Quite possibly the greatest cover version of all time...and Jim's smile at the end.
This is just such a wonderful tribute, astonishingly faithful to the original, yet so completely other...everyone who had a hand in this deserves a place in heaven.
This is incredible. Good to see Cardiacs getting some recognition.
I've watched this several times now and I've only now caught on to how perfectly Shane is dressed up, would have fit in without a doubt with the six-piece Cardiacs years
Timmy will be smiling. I'm crying. That was wonderful. Thank you.

Oh mate, I've got something in my eye. That was, as they say around here, well fucken splendid. ❤️
Everyone involved in this video is worthy of laudation in perpetuity. This was the video that got me through lockdown and made me a Child Bite fan for life. And let's not talk about Jim's smile lest I start crying again...
Have I really found a video of one of my favourite ever drummers playing one of my favourite ever songs? Heck yes.
this still continues to warm the hockles of my cart.
I'm so upset I only just found this. This is the first time I've ever shed a tear listening to music.
wowwwwwwwwwwwww........ glastonbury soo long ago.... tears...

Excellent version, Tim would be proud.
Aw, Jim. My phone spat a load of dust into my eyes throughout the whole of this video and I have no idea why. Just thought I'd warn you all in case it makes your eyes sting.
Seems to be a thing. Someone ran into my room and just started cutting onions.
I seem to have been safe watching this video, but I was going to eat an orange after and it jetstreamed orange juice straight into one of my eyes.
Yeah be careful guys, this video might be cursed
made me go check out the Cardiacs catalog.
Brilliant version of the song, a wonderful tribute and great to see Jim Smith doing what he does best.
My goodness, this was so much better than I even expected. Thanks and much love to everyone involved.
It's all been said... The talent, effort and multiple skills that was put into creating this, from concept to delivery is utterly wonderful - a real labour of love. Thank you, thank you x
More please. Thank you.
Much laudation fellows. Thank you.
No idea how I finally found out about this band a few years ago but it’s so cool how many musicians they inspired. Rightfully so.
I think someone close was peeling onions whilst I was watching this, absolutely amazing!! 🤘😬
Just.....absolutely bloody wonderful
Beautiful! Please cover more songs, this is amazing.
just started discovering Cardiacs
three years behind you, but loving the journey
Amazing and Beutiful
Excellent.
You have to perform another. I propose To Go Off & Things.
Bon voyage Tim.
This is an amazing tribute!
This made my year!
There's very little about this that isn't perfect.
Terrific.
YES!
Holy holy shit. Amazing and beautiful and just...HOLY SHIT 💖💖💖
This is so cool. I love so many of the people involved and this is one of my favourite Cardiacs tracks.
I recently started listening to Cardiacs because of Dan Mongrain and Shane Emburys endorsement, so to see the two of them doing this makes me very happy.
Absolutely wonderful!! It’s amazing seeing people from all these different bands come together in this way.
RIP Tim Smith
wonderful Jim , showing them how it is done !
To Tim - our leader of the starry skies. This makes me cry and smile and shiver at the same time. Outstanding. Thank you for this genius and brilliantly exercised idea
Album next, please! :)
All one can say is "HELL YES." Worthy!
I discovered Cardiacs because of Shane Embury. Fell in love with the band. And this is freaken awesome!
I don't know what I just stumbled upon, but I enjoyed it.
love the cardiacs
Burst out crying when I saw Jim. This is beautiful, you bastards!
Fantastic
This brings tears to my eyes.
WOW How did I miss this when it came out? Fantastic tribute to Tim and the rest of the band.
This is amazingly beautiful, Mates! Much love from Russia ❤️🌼
Amazing! Thank you for keeping Tim's music alive (and very much kicking!)
very lovely
right and proper
This is a thing of sheer beauty!
A massive beaker of magic! What a wonderful cover.
