Electric Six - The Rubberband Man Lyrics
Hand me down my walkin' cane
Hand me down my hat
Hurry now and don't be late
'Cause we ain't got time to chat
You and me, we're goin' out
Guaranteed to blow your mind
So high you won't come down
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband (rubberband) man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
Oh, Lord, this dude is outta sight
Seem to come out right
Once I went to hear them play
At a club outside of town
I was so surprised, I was hypnotized
By the sound this cat's puttin' down
When I saw this short, fat guy
Stretch a band between his toes
Hey, I laughed so hard
'Cause the man got down
When he finally reached his goal
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband (rubberband) man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband (rubberband) man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
Got that rubber band
Up on his toes
And then he wriggled it up
All around his nose
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Playin' all that music, yet keepin' time
Where in the world did he learn that, oh, Lord
Lord, help him get away
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
Rubberband man, rubberband man
How much of this stuff do he think we can stand?
I don't know
So much rhythm, grace, and debonair for one man,
Lord, and then he had the nerve to wiggle his left toe
Slip it through his knee, got the feeling in his head, y'all
Aw, come on, baby
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
Rubberband man starts to jam
Moving up and down cross the land
Got the people all in his wake
Everything probably seems outta place
Just move it, just move it
Just move, move, move it
Just, rubberband, rubberband man
Just move it, just move it
Just move, move, move it
Just, rubberband, rubberband man
Get down
Oh, get down low
Ah ha

Electric Six The Rubberband Man Comments
Here from Avengers ;)
I think of Stripes when I hear this song
fucking great voice ...... i love it
fucking great voice ...... i love it
Seeing E6 tomorrow night in Vancouver - can't wait - but selfishly praying about the set list... hope this is in it!!!
I'm sure the spinners got paid for the use of...everything lol
I think Star Lord would approve.
This is hilariously, perfectly EXCELLENT. And still very danceable as well.....
Brillint !
Viva Dick Valentine! The man can do anything!
Love this one!!!
you just dont see this no more that is so sad thes guys could rock
this was a awesome band just dam good rock n roll
Rubberband maaaaaaan
best version ever
Of COURSE E6 covered Rubberband Man. Of course they did.
It's as though E6 recorded this cover purely to sync it perfectly against the original footage.
It's beautiful! U da man
Playin' all that music and keepin' time
러버밴드 맨~
U want of know how much stretch my but hole did just now I pooping?
While I'm not a fan of this particular cover, I do appreciate the work that went into making the video....the synchronization is awesome!
original version is all one requires
But not all one has to settle for. Great cover.
I agree..But this is hilarious video!! I don't really care for E6 but this is very funny😂
I think ur missing the point, and a few other things as well.
Wow, The Sync is perfect. Nice Job. I always thought this was a great cover tune also.
They could have at least put up their own video performance. This video is from the Burt Sugraman show and was performed live. This audio was obviously studio mixed and altered. It's too bad the performance of the cover band has to lean on true talent to do their visual. Good work Electric Six?
@Ben Hammond Electric six didn't make this video, the uploader did it himself. Look at how stupid you are.
The vocal is NOT from this performance!! This has been overdubbed. These vocals are NOT the Spinners.
gee thanks captain obvious
What you mean is it's not electric six in the video. The Spinners are in the video.
Trying to figure out who the actual troll is in this thread.
Fenix Alexander "Captain Obvious" LMAO
More like, Capt Oblivious.
I went to see them live in Dublin once, thinking they were a bit of a joke and not knowing all that much about them. As a massive Spinners fan (and Philippe Wynne especially), they really gained my respect on this song.
+Bob Papadopoulos - They are one of the best live bands I have ever seen. Very entertaining and good at what they do.
This is the SHIT!
this is amazing. the sound is so full, and the Spinner's choreography really spices it up.
im rubber n ur glue,
bounces off me and sticks 2 u :)
one of the few songs i been caught dancing like a jack ass too as i clean... fantastic remake!
wtf man (
you jack ass in live song its no you problem
This video is superb.
Aw thats too bad, I love their videos. Heck I got into this band because of the awesome video for Danger: High Voltage.
This is, indeed, the most Epic compilation / music video i have ever seen. Applause.
I have to wear a Jonny every time I hear this or I'll jizz my pants. Oh yeah.
Love these guys
this band is crazy...AND FANTASTIC!!
As true today as it was when you wrote it..

hell yeah ,, remember "grooveline" by heatwave?,
I was born in 71 and my mom Loved disco , use to listen to this amazing song with great memories :)
The footage makes this song so much greater
I did NOT know Electric Six did this song.
So happy this makes me. The feelings that I feel.
most wonderful song , think i may drink my tea now
Wow your lip synching editing skills are AMAZING, its like they're actually singing the exact song the band is...
... o, it's a cover. >.>
What a RIOT!!!! I'm lookin' for the Spinners to round out a playlist from "back in the day"...and who's super imposed but "Electric Six" LOL....A friend in England just sent me some of their tunes...they are FUNNY...and er..."irreverent". :-) Not too bad a job here, tho. The Spinners are going on my playlist, tho!!!!!
This is AWESOME! I'm not mad at this at all! It aint the Spinners, but they did a pretty good job covering this classic. RESPECT!
@vinkwick im a 70s kid and 80 punk and this is so fantastic , makes me so happy to hear the new and see the old together , , wish e6 wud redo grooveline by heatwave
I wish I could like LIKE this video every time I watch it. It would have about 10,000 likes by now.
great tune , also featured as song of the week in my blog bilingual randomness
This is still the greatest thing you've ever done.
lol I'm losin' it right now....it's like youtube read my mind and created this just for me
damn, i got all excited thinking it was a cover of Yello's Rubberbandman (search it!)
this was pretty awesome though !
Awesome cover!
Wierd how wearing boots makes black guys dance like white guys...
Hahahahaha! Five black guys finally looking as cool as they really were. Awesome group, awesome song, awesome remake!
@vinkwick they made a video for Infected Girls.
@DeadNorwegianBlue I reckon it's because they seem to add a different sort of aspect to the covers - they don't aim to just repeat them but add their own flair.
So damn groovy you can't get it out of your head!!
The video is just perfect.
Why is E6 so good at making covers?
That was great thnx
@vinkwick nice sync!:)))
ELECTRIC SIX PLEASE COVER HEATWAVES GROOVE LINE!!!!!! you muthas need to be youtubing heatwave groove line extended version. satan AND god says to do it now!!!
THIS VIDEOT ALONG WITH HEADPHONES AND PLAYING IT 10 TIMES CRANKED GOT ME SO HIGH AND FURTHER STRENGTHENED MY PATRIOTISM IN MY COUNTRY THE U,S,A . BY THE VISUAL BRINGING ME BACK TO THE 70S WHENI WAS A KID AND LOVING THE MUSIC AND FOOD AND TIMES OF THAT GREAT DECADE ,THE STRUGGLES MY PARENTS WENT THROUGH TO KEEP IT ALL TOGETHER,,,THAT, COMBINED WITH E6 COVERING THE NUMBER WITH 100%ENTHUSIASM AND RESPECT FOR THESE OLD TIMES,, MAKES ME BELIEVE OBAMA IS SLEEPER AND WILL DESTROY US
oiyabastard are you ok dude? Yikes
@5uper5ha Same here, and they ALWAYS entertain!
add a 1 and 2 zeros behind that view count
This is freaking amazing!
This should be their music video, it's great.
I wish they would come through Columbus again.
Wow, this is amazing. So impressive, because the original song from this clip is actually pretty different to Electric Six's cover in tone and delivery.
This is fantastic. I love this remake great job for sure
Radio (2003)
That movie is amazing
@DanBlabbers
It is now.
Going to see them in Dublin next week I DON'T WANNA WAIT!!!!!!
Is this the official music video?
This tune makes me smile.
Electric Six is amazing as always
Zodiac needs to come out already!
Seriously first Radio Ga Ga, now Rubberband Man. These guys kick ass at Covers.
Brilliant, just bloody brilliant, E6 just keeps suprising me over and over again. Hit after hit after hit.
holy shit, you nailed it.
1,000 views. Lets keep 'em comin. I've seen numerous blogs post mp3s to this track so maybe that publicity is helping? And perhaps them making a cover will draw some more attention to Zodiac? I hope.
ive been watching this for the last 2 hours and i dont plan on stopping anytime soon
This is perfect - just the kind of thing I needed today!
Are you Fuckin' Kidding ME!!!!!
Fucking perfect.
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
