I don’t know that The Bogmen will ever see this but I need to let you know how much this song means to me. My sister died last year. She was 43 years old. She had a hard life. She had a lot of mental health struggles. She had a lot of struggles in general. I loved her more than anything. I would have given anything to see her happy I see you have a show coming up on November 11 and I can’t help but imagine that this is something that her and I would’ve done together. We spent so many afternoons driving in the car listening to this song. When I found out that she was likely going to die, I put this song on in my car. I listen to it now and it makes me smile. I miss her. Hearing this song makes me remember the true friendship that we really had. I just thought you should know.
it's the most powerful reason for music; it moves us and connects us to people who are moved with us. Whether that's tears or romance, shakin' that a--, or head banging. You're sister will be listening.
this bands first album was soo good....start to finish...still holds up ...very musical and clever lyrics...this record reminds me of Todies first album, so full of potential and fell well short with sophmore record.
I worked in radio when I heard this song and thought it was the best thing I'd heard in months. It's an amazing mix of comedy and melancholy. One's first reaction is to laugh, but there's something very touching going on under the surface.
I found an old VHS tape of MTV 120 minutes the other day that I recorded back in 96. This video was on the tape and I have been listening to it repeatedly. It hits pretty close to home these days.
I saw them at the Middle East in Philly late in 1995. It was my band's CD release party and local alt radio (WDRE) paired us with The Bogmen. What a show. The vision of the frontman spinning around for what seemed ages during the denouement of one song (Raga?) is permanently etched in my mind. A great performance. This tune only scratches the surface of their depth of humor, musicianship and poignancy. Solid band, striking songs, and solid production. They should be remembered with Radiohead of that era, IMO.
yes they should be. this band is incredible... they should of made with he song MEXICO.. but they released a different song. atlantic came this close to signing them... billy campion... is my fucking hero... he reminds me of the me im afraid to look at sometimes.. but he fuckign goes there and spinning into oblivion.. should be his next album... lmfao
Campion, Bogmen, Vic Thrill, Casspix - what a bunch of geniuses. What an awesome reminisce this video is (though I never was around in time to see Bogmen live). So many Bogmen and Vic Thrill songs would be great to make videos to!
when i worked with Arista, and these guys SOLD OUT Irving Plaza for CMJ, i was on th efloor in front of them, along with Clive freaking Davis. everyone else was upstairs eating the free food in VIP.....but me, the lowest guy on the totem pole, and Clive, were down in THE PIT jamming to this band. priceless moment....
"Keep me on ice, if I melt, kiss my head. I am yours even in death now he's coming for me!" - That is my recollection of a great line from Mexico. Great song. Good overall sound. Shame this band didn't get more widespread recognition. Though, like many indie bands that don't break into commercial success, they will probably have an endless undying cred level with the few musicians and music fans lucky enough to be in the know about the Bogmen.
what a great video for a great song. just saw The Bogmen are playing Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett on July 30. Gotta be there. My good college buddy grew up in Huntington, we use to party in the Village with Billy Campion band The Knock Out Drops, goid times
@DanR67 i worked for BMG Distribution, and I was THERE for this stuff. And I know Lonn as well. Lonn LOVED this band. As far as Clive goes, I don't know what he was thinking, very few people ever did :-) I loved this band. I worked my ass off to get them radio, press, retail, and tour support. They were my favorite band on Arista. But the biggest band on Arista at the time was THE ACE OF BASE....facepalm..... I wish things had been different, the Bogmen were a GREAT band, and I loved them.
I LOVE this video! One of my favorites of all time. This guy is great. He's like a cross between Donal Logue and Adam Pally (...or Matthew Perry, as someone else has said).
I saw you guys at the Bangor State Fair in '95 or '96 and bought this CD from the merch table. You guys and Rustic Overtones and someone else... Almost wore out the CD lol
I remember you guys my through my friend Eric Komell especially the brothers in the band! Its a long way to the top if ya want to rock n roll, I lived it too all the fucking best.
A good friend introduce me to the Bogmen via the song Englewood, which was incredible. Unfortunately, the rest of their oeuvre isn't my thing, but I'll always be grateful to Sarah for that one song.
Check out a new song, the theme to the new television series "Dads." And also check out Mad Larry, Vic Thrill and other music affiliations of theirs. Great side projects these guys have going on. Rock on!
If Arista made their first video a reflection of the Bogmen's live performances (where they were at their best) instead of a play, I wonder how things may have evolved...
Fabulous band! Check out Ryan Bros Music for 2 of the band members highly successful commercial music company. They can be heard in many popular movies, TV, Ads and documentaries ! Great guys that have moved hip music to the commercial realm without "selling out". They still do live gigs as well! They have stood the test of time and moved forward to real professionalism. Ryan Bros Music rocks!
@roccotanto I used to watch them play in huntington...damn good group of guys and they should have been huge but the plague of grundge swept over the land

I know what it's like to lose a much loved sibling. My heart goes out to you. Wishing you lots of happy memories that make you smile. 💕

THE GREATEST BAND YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF!
IT is the solemn duty of us all who love this song to spread the link far and wide. Get busy.
You cannot imagine how much I love this song and have since the 90s. SOOooo old.
oh, i think i can, but niot as much as TOO MUCH JOY wlir bitches!!!!!
Live @ Mulcahey’s in Wantagh “WON-TAH!!”
This song exists in it's own universe. That's what makes it special.
this bands first album was soo good....start to finish...still holds up ...very musical and clever lyrics...this record reminds me of Todies first album, so full of potential and fell well short with sophmore record.
this really is an incredibly under-rated song

The first time they showed this on "120 Minutes" on MTV, I thought I'd crap my pants laughing!! Diggin' it still a quarter of a century later!!!!

Campion, Bogmen, Vic Thrill, Casspix - what a bunch of geniuses.
What an awesome reminisce this video is (though I never was around in time to see Bogmen live). So many Bogmen and Vic Thrill songs would be great to make videos to!
Another lost gem from the nineties.
Easily one of my favorite songs ever. I’d never seen the music video until now and it’s just as wild as I expected
when i worked with Arista, and these guys SOLD OUT Irving Plaza for CMJ, i was on th efloor in front of them, along with Clive freaking Davis. everyone else was upstairs eating the free food in VIP.....but me, the lowest guy on the totem pole, and Clive, were down in THE PIT jamming to this band. priceless moment....
Learned about these guys from reading a book by Lonn Friend. Thought I'd check 'em out. They do jam!
GOOD FOR YOU

Suddenly I am listening to this track again
Are you still going good man? Just asking. I hope you're doing great.
Their debut album should be re-released. Stands the test of time
This is one of my favorite songs. Never saw the video before.
Props to Tommy V in DC for introducing this music to many, and keep on rocking Bogmen
I have been trying to find this song for SO LONG! 😅😂😢🎉
THESE GUYS ARE STILL AROUND ! AND THERE AWESOME
Yes and they are playing at Webster Hall, Manhatten, NY on Sept. 10
I have 2 cousins in the band and saw them fill a huge venue maybe 2 years ago. They are still great.
SURE
suuuuch an underrated song. i was raised on this song, and i love it so much. can't believe how unpopular it is
Hi everyone - just wanted to let you all know that The Bogmen are playing Saturday night, Sept. 10, 2022 at Webster Hall in NY. See you there :)
what a great video for a great song. just saw The Bogmen are playing Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett on July 30. Gotta be there.
My good college buddy grew up in Huntington, we use to party in the Village with Billy Campion band The Knock Out Drops, goid times
Saw them last night

I wish things had been different, the Bogmen were a GREAT band, and I loved them.
Mid 90s memories!!!
One of the few perfect songs out there.
2018 and this song still hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves
2023. Just checking in and it still hasn't
2024. This is worrying
LOVE this song!
Not twenty years yet. but timeless indeed.
I LOVE this video! One of my favorites of all time. This guy is great. He's like a cross between Donal Logue and Adam Pally (...or Matthew Perry, as someone else has said).
these guys can do no wrong out in Rockaway Beach ny!!!
Such a great song!
GirlsGamesGunsGuitar h
Still one of my favorite bands of ALL TIME!
twenty some odd years later... I still like these guys.
I saw you guys at the Bangor State Fair in '95 or '96 and bought this CD from the merch table. You guys and Rustic Overtones and someone else... Almost wore out the CD lol
Hey fellow old gen x mainer.
I remember you guys my through my friend Eric Komell especially the brothers in the band! Its a long way to the top if ya want to rock n roll, I lived it too all the fucking best.
super cool!
A good friend introduce me to the Bogmen via the song Englewood, which was incredible. Unfortunately, the rest of their oeuvre isn't my thing, but I'll always be grateful to Sarah for that one song.
Saw them open for a band I can't even remember at the Barrymore theater in Madison WI MANY yrs ago.
Needless to say, they stole the show
Check out a new song, the theme to the new television series "Dads."
And also check out Mad Larry, Vic Thrill and other music affiliations of theirs. Great side projects these guys have going on. Rock on!
saw these guys at the eden festival in mosport park in '96. this song was so awesome
i love this song fr
Wow cool song and video as well❤️
Great fucking band that came to life about 12-15 years too early.
bar non best song ever
My boy Billy should of made the big time!!! Maybe he will. The space man cometh!!!!
Awesome!
"I'm sorry, Freddie. This is Darlese." (gasp!)
If Arista made their first video a reflection of the Bogmen's live performances (where they were at their best) instead of a play, I wonder how things may have evolved...
why doesn’t this have 15mil views smh
That's the color you wear when the dead one is you.
Campion is a genius.

I think many of us guys out there have been in Freddy's shoes at one time or another.

@DanR67
Thats actually how I found out about them.
@roccotanto I used to watch them play in huntington...damn good group of guys and they should have been huge but the plague of grundge swept over the land
ditto (freaky that we both have Dog in our names)
I loved this band. Booze killed them though.
What does this have to do with FlufeeTalks?
Anyone know the chords?
Terence McNicholas

So, Freddie doesn't recognize his own girlfriend's voice?
