It was so much fun when they performed this song at their concert. They had half the crowd sing "I wana fly away" while the other half sang "Im so sick of you, so sick of me, I dont wana be with you." So the crowd got to sing the chorus and it was a blast! :) GO CAKE!
True. SO underappreciated. Who else can meld funk, rock, and even a bit of mariachi, along with snarky lyrics and a driving bassline into something so...well, so darn catchy?
They perfectly capture that droll Valley humor and sensibility that I love so much. I grew up in Bakersfield and have loved this band since they started. They are criminally underrated and overlooked. Their melodies, hooks, and riffs are infectious and memorable. I'm glad they do what they do. It makes my life a happier place.
These guys know how to craft a song! They know how to borrow from so many genres and eras, AND YET, they always manage to do so while also keeping their own unique sound. Let's face it kiddies, the era or truly great rock and pop bands is nearly over - they are an evermore rare and dying breed. Sadly. And CAKE knows how to strike that balance between angst, irony, pure expression, and eye for detail of the human condition - AND seemingly know how to make their musical narrative truly ROCK in the process!
philipatoz Itd never been dying or dead, you just have to look for it. There's so many out there and sometimes it can be a little hard to find, but using this technology we have makes it very possible to do. There's more great bands than years that we will live combined x10.
i know it's a bit late but chances are good you just don't pay attention to the scene anymore, which is fine. everybody has favorite eras! this sort of reductive attitude towards new stuff isn't productive or authentic though, imo
Cake, since I first heard Rock and Roll Lifestyle when I was 8 or so, has been a big influence on my “personal code”. A lot of wisdom expressed in their songs. Excess Ain’t Rebellion.
I saw this fabulous band at Sandpoint last summer for the music festival; this song lasted about 10 minutes and it was fugging incredibro. We chanted the "Hey! Hey!" part at the end for about three minutes straight, and then he split the audience into two sections. He diagnosed one half of the crowd as the "angry people: the ones who want to plow into slow drivers on the freeway, the ones who want to punch someone in the face over something stupid they saw on the internet. These are the people who believe that everything bad that happens to them is SOMEBODY ELSE'S FUCKING FAULT" and so on. The other half (my half, heh) he called the "escapists: the people who do all they can to escape the problems in their lives. They are the heavy drinkers, the road trippers, the constant readers, the binge movie watchers. These are the people that get away by doing things like (he paused) SMOKING ILLEGAL DRUGS." AND THENNNNN, while that cool breakdown happens at the end (every-shiny-toy-that-at-first-brings-you-joy), the ANGRY half chanted "I'm so sick of you, so sick of me, I don't want to be with you" while the ESCAPIST half battled back by yelling "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII wanna flyyyyy aaaawayyyyy." The escapist half won, incidentally, but that show was the coolest fucking three hours of my life.
The same thing happened to me a couple months ago. I was so pumped and it was so awesome. John was so freaking hilarious and chill. Glad that you got to go 😅
Thanks. If you never watched a movie called Predestination with Ethan Hawk Then you should. Stay away from the trailers due to spoilers. Just paying it forward. lol
The thing I love about these guys is the awesome sound they have, they get by buying the cheapest used gear around and rocking with that. I think that's awesome
What I love about cake and their videos too is you just can't take them seriously. Some cool droll humour and a great beat. Our Music is missing more cake or music similar to cake even
@twincoil Cake goes to work shooting a video at an abandoned car dealership. They decide to take the two bunnies as tag alongs. The bunnies get bored and pace around the building. The band members are good enough to let them try out the guitar and do a few cartwheels and dances for the video. The bunnies end up having a good time.
In Oregon choking on smoke and this song popped into my head. I came here to watch the video and I’m like, what the heck, it’s our life right now amid the wildfires, riots and the like....
They are sooo cool live. One said of the room has to sing "I wanna fly away" over and over while the other side says "im so sick of you so sick of me i dont want to be with you" its incredile. He is so.....insightful. incredible
Great band. I think we can count the number of 90s bands on one hand that are still around putting out good albums. Going the Distance certainly did put some pressure on them though. One of the greatest songs from the 90s.
At last! I've been trying to find out the name of this musical instrument. I remember hearing it in Ozzy's Crazy Train as well as other tunes. Sounds like a rattlesnake.
Bman 1970 early’60’s (around then I think) it was invented by LatinPercussion to replace an instrument called (and literally from) “the jawbone of an ass”. This was usually made from the jawbone of a much easier to find cow.The dried out and defleshed jawbones teeth would rattle when struck, in the manner you hear the “vibraslap”on this song and Ozzie’s classic song. But even cow jawbones were hard to get also intensive to make and then broke easily. This durable and inexpensive “replacement invention” was a huge success and LatinPercussion’s first big instrument. It propelled one man into what LP is now.
Is this from 2010? This is the first Pop/Rock tune I enjoy in over 10 yrs. Great guitar tones, arrangement - almost like what AC/DC would write/play IF they were a Pop/Rock band. I also detect a vague Talking Heads vibe,w/ a touch of 'Revolver' era Beatles as well. Very fine. Peace.
I remember when I worked in downtown Sacramento and these guys were just coming up and seeing they're flyers on every telephone pole downtown, they have a really cool and distinct beat and I love the music
I saw STP right after Scott came out of rehab, that was amazing, but nothing compared to watching this band play upfront. AMAZING. They all are so talented.
Classic Cake, keeping it real. It's almost as though he's like, alright, let's get this out of the way, here's the gaddamn vibraslap. Surprised at the fadeout frankly! Otherwise though, great tune, excited for the record.
Anyone growing up in that neighborhood recognizes that abandoned building :) There's also some shots of the shops on 24th & Florin, near Rice Bowl and old Alpine Alley...
Me: I'm so sick of you soo sick of me Teacher: What ??? Me: I wanna fly away Teacher: What do you say ? Me: I' don't need another day Aaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaa OooOOOhhhh Teacher: Call 911
Is it not icredible that this song says everthing, in nothing, at all. There musical lyrics transcends truth in many fashions, for this garden of a junkyard variety mind. They deserve to be bigger than life; my only wonder is, would they have wanted it that way or not? Do to the honesty of there message, left aside from the fantatic musical combination of instruments in company, this group utterly kickassed. I saw them for first time on the K street mall and said to myself they were honestly playing together for the love of thier music, thank you Cake for rhe memories. Grew in in North Highlands of of Madison Ave, very nice back drop the Ford house next to the defunct A&W!!!
I feel like this is a song you could feature perfectly in a series. Like when the people drive out of their town or something. for me it's a song i wanna listen to driving in a Cabrio. Just discovered cake and i love them so much

Just saw them tonight, and they still do it! Very fun, I'm glad they stuck with that!

Just saw them at the OKC zoo amphitheater and they still do that too
This band needs more recognition
INDEED!
Roof Baby so true
Roof Baby so true better them one direction or justin beaber
I think adding a horn a rattler in a rock " somewhat" is brave, but I love his writing and the music makes a total well song. Good job CAKE
True. SO underappreciated. Who else can meld funk, rock, and even a bit of mariachi, along with snarky lyrics and a driving bassline into something so...well, so darn catchy?
cake is a great band. the more you hear their material, the more hooked you get.
Once Again Cake Saves The Day
They perfectly capture that droll Valley humor and sensibility that I love so much. I grew up in Bakersfield and have loved this band since they started. They are criminally underrated and overlooked. Their melodies, hooks, and riffs are infectious and memorable. I'm glad they do what they do. It makes my life a happier place.
I'm also a huge fan of another 'valley'/desert band, Queens of the Stone Age, who have the same wacky, droll sense of humor in their music.
The instruments, the voice(s), everything about these guys is pure awesomeness!
These guys know how to craft a song! They know how to borrow from so many genres and eras, AND YET, they always manage to do so while also keeping their own unique sound.

pro trick: you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
I agree about their songcraft.
My favorite band ever, and I'm 66!!!!!! So unrecognized.
Cake, since I first heard Rock and Roll Lifestyle when I was 8 or so, has been a big influence on my “personal code”. A lot of wisdom expressed in their songs.
Excess Ain’t Rebellion.
We are building a religion, we are building it bigger
11 years of listening this song, Love it! Thank you guys!

Leggo My Eggo I've been waiting for him to show in texas Oklahoma Arkansas new Mexico or Kansas
That sounds like a fun ass time!
Just went to a Cake concert and the band played this song as well. The same exact thing happened at our show. It was so much fun!!
This has slowly become one of my favorite Cake songs.
Cake is due for a new CD, and I can't wait.
this kind of perfection takes time
You and I both Winston! Love my Sacramento band CAKE :-)
Is it true???
winston smith just got confirmed their ninth studio album will release this year!!!
Thanks.
If you never watched a movie called Predestination with Ethan Hawk
Then you should.
Stay away from the trailers due to spoilers.
Just paying it forward. lol
Cake has some the best lyrics in their songs
I miss u guys i will never forget cake
Cake has to be the best band I have ever listened to. I am 40 and grew up on these guys.... I think everything they do is awesome..
Yeah. I’m back to this video after all these years. It got stuck in my head out of nowhere.

So much love for this band. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. Amazing.
One of the most underrated songs in the world
I just wanted to say your profile pic makes me happy.
@@acousticpsychosis same here mang. Hail Boognish!
I just love this band, and this song in particular! I am an open MIC guy, and play this song regularly. The crowd LOVES it! :)
I'll never get sick of this song!!!!

This never gets old! I hope the whole of Cake is aging nicely, enjoying life and surrounded by love and real laughter. Thanks, guys!
How can anyone not love Cake?
I love Cake.
Specially with sprinkles on top. 😀

You guys are my new favorite band. Thank you for sharing some truth instead of the usual crappy sentiments.

My Superpower is to find a video that nobody watches anymore and post mindful stuff.
It's just for me, really.
P.S. I like this song.
They had a lot of fun!!!

July, minneapolis,mn. Gonna see em!!
this is my 4yr old's favorite song for whatever reason.
excellent song ive only heard this song once on the radio im a bit suprised by that
talent does not get you onto the radio :)
Cake - one of the few bands left worth caring about. Rock on for many years to come guys. (And come to Minneapolis, lol).
Having a "Cake" night, the healthy way. :3
I've watched this more times than I can count, and my life is countless times better each time I watch. Thanks for your work.
I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more VibraSlap!

Cowbell vs. Vibraslap. The Epic Battle!!
Am so glad these guys are still around i can't wait to see them live. And i need to go out and buy this album it looks awesome.
esse sopro no meio é o que enriquece o som
great performance for sick of you in istanbul yesterday. thumbs up for cake!
bom demais esse som!
Hell yeah ❤️
Listening to this in 2019. Loving it! I'll make a wish. 🎂 More Cake!
Check it out a new one came out 7 days ago! It’s shit!
Saw them Last night in Atlanta, Center Stage GREAT SHOW, Cant wait until they come back.
Is this from 2010? This is the first Pop/Rock tune I enjoy in over 10 yrs. Great guitar tones, arrangement - almost like what AC/DC would write/play IF they were a Pop/Rock band. I also detect a vague Talking Heads vibe,w/ a touch of 'Revolver' era Beatles as well. Very fine. Peace.
The guitar tones on the intro Riff recall 1976 AC/DC - 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' -the album.
&theyre just as good here as they are in concert!! i love cake.
So nice of them to let the bunnies have a turn at the guitar.
This song sounds even better in concert, they're really awesome about audience participation too!
Thank you Cake. Don't stop playing and maybe you could come to the Hangtown Halloween Ball? It's your local music festival. Just Saying.
I love the bass line
I remember when I worked in downtown Sacramento and these guys were just coming up and seeing they're flyers on every telephone pole downtown, they have a really cool and distinct beat and I love the music
I saw STP right after Scott came out of rehab, that was amazing, but nothing compared to watching this band play upfront. AMAZING. They all are so talented.
Best Cake song ever !!!!
i love this song so much my it was one of the last songs i heard my dad sing before he passed away last week friday
Classic Cake, keeping it real. It's almost as though he's like, alright, let's get this out of the way, here's the gaddamn vibraslap.

Wow😎😎😎!!!
GREAT SONG, very vintage...
feeling a little Day Tripper in this one!
apilkey87 not at all in the notes, but i get the vibe.
Every camera, every phone, all the music that you own, won't change the fact you're all alone.
I don't know how or why but I got here from listening to tool. Oh well I like both bands a lot.
And now it's tool time for me, thank you
mac demarco !!
Strangely, me too. I went Tool - Claypool Lennon Delyrium - Cake.
The 90's. They sucked...but the gems shine bright.
i think tool and cake are weirdly similar
Words cannot describe how excited I am for the concert in Amsterdam on my birthday...! It's going to be the best night ever.
Day 20 of Self Quarantine: This song to the rescue
Day um what day is it? This song is still great even after 10 years. And better right this moment!
