Meat Puppets - Sam Lyrics
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make about something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion that nobody'd ever considered important
And damn it if Norman and Betty were listening somebody would have become a phenomenal
Howling lightning tampering with the electrical evidence shown to be relevant
Possibly with the exception of ivory everyone else had abandoned the obvious
Deliciously spooned from the lap of the ludicrous into the mouths of the questionless idiots
Licking their lips as their eyeballs are rolling and flapping their tongues as they're losing their marbles
That's the way Sam's played around, that's the way Sam's played
Someone who wasn't related to anyone twisted the facts till the truth was apparent
And dished up a dollop of dubious doo-doo that sparkled like something folks scrambled to swallow
Slipping the rich through the eye of a needle is easy as getting a camel to heaven
And Granny transgressing had blubbered a bibful of classified info on Milton's imbroglio
That's the way Sam's played around, that's the way Sam's played
That's the way Sam's played around, that's the way Sam's played
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make about something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion that nobody'd ever considered important
And maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make about something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion that nobody'd ever considered important

omg Frodo can sing!
I have an ex gf named Sam. Ironic.
They look so much older in the Nine Pins video. Like older than you would think considering this wasn't THAT long ago.
This came out in 1991 which was 28 years ago and they are now in their early 60s.
I thoughts it's in 1.5 speed i swear i checked it
Son what you learned in your school ? 0:25
I saw this video in February 1992, and it took until today to figure out who the band was......
Too good for MTV
Cosmic timeless and it F****N rocks.....
Cam someone tell me why this song is sung so fast?
hubbla-hubbla-hubbla-hubbla I love this song :)
You need God. - Sam
Lyrics anyone?
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
That nobody'd ever considered important
And damn it if Norman and Betty were listening
Somebody would have become a phenomenal
Howling lightning tampering with the electrical
Evidence shown to be relevant
Possibly with the exception of ivory
Everyone else had abandoned the obvious
Chipping away at erroneous garbage
Which definitely is as exciting as pudding
Deliciously spooned from the lap of the ludicrous
Into the mouths of the question less idiots
Licking their lips as their eyeballs are rolling
And flapping their tongues as they're losing their marbles
That's the way Sam's play around
That's the way Sam's play
Someone who wasn't related to anyone
Twisted the facts till the truth was apparent
And dished up a dollop of dubious doo-doo
That sparkled like something folks scrambled to swallow
Slipping the rich through the eye of a needle
Is easy as getting a camel to heaven
And granny transgressing had blubbered a bibful
Of classified info on Milton's imbroglio
That's the way Sam' play around
That's the way Sam's play
That's the way Sam's play around
That's the way Sam's play
That's the way Sam's play around
That's the way Sam's play
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion

They always have such snap to their stuff. They can play any damn thing they want. This rocks and bounces.
I saw them live many times in the 80s and wondered how they never sustained whip lash. Maybe they did
How did I just discover this album now? I know their earlier stuff (a bit) and their later stuff (a bit more) but always wondered what stuff they were playing the one time I saw them open for Nirvana (seven days before the unplugged). Needless to say I couldn't find any of their stuff in record stores in the weeks that followed.
@James Menzies last night is likely the first time I heard it since seeing them play it live. I very much assume they would have played it in 93 because their set sounded more like that then the early stuff that I know.
@The SickNeeds They still include it in their set-list.
@James Menzies how did you know? Were you at the show? I found a set list web site that listed the gig but had no set list posted for that show.
@The SickNeeds They have just finished an East Coast tour and played it every night. I have seen them twice in the UK in the last 6 years and they played it at each show.
@James Menzies ah sorry I misread....I need to learn to get more sleep. Thought you had said "they included it in their set-list" as in on the show I was at two years after that tune came out....likely they played it then if they played it so much now!
BR aqui curtindo Meat Puppets 🇧🇷🤘🎸❤️😘
Phoenix arizonas own pups
I got the Meat sweats!
I have trouble remembering the lyrics to Folsom Prison Blues, there's no way I could pull this off.
I'll die for these boys...
Top ‘o their game (and still not done yet!)
all the best puppets are..meat
Needs more words.
I love Cris' denim look.
"THANK YOU NIRVANAAAAAA!!!"
🤣 ridiculous
luthierjustin1 why?
The Boys the Meat puppets have nothing to do with Nirvana, they were around years before and decades after Nirvana. If someone thinks the only reason the Meat Puppets are around is Nirvana it really shows a lack of music knowledge and willful ignorance.
luthierjustin1 that wasn’t the point of the comment. He was saying thanks nirvana for showing him the meat puppets
The Boys that’s pretty lame too to be honest
I just got introduced to meat puppets by a random Chris Cornell interview video, this song tells me that I got a lot of listening to do, holy crap they're great.
Which cris cornell interview? Same happened to me because of Nirvana! Start with Meat puppets II and then go to Up on the Sun
:D
Why does drummer looks like pizza delivery boy as it is heavy grunge band?
Brilliant lyrics, tune, and band. Still doing it as of 2018, saw em play few weeks ago, they opened w Sam!!
Where did u see them?
great song !
Grandiosi
So good
The Meat Puppets don't play around
"Even I think this is too much."
--Eddie Vedder
Great teeth
I like the part when they all sing in unison
They have a awesome lead guitar player
Indeed. Listen to his work in Up on the Sun, Seal Whales, Maiden's Milk...
@João Porfírio Especially life performances from that time! Curt recently he can't play Enchanted porkifst anymore, because its too hard
40 skinny jean wearing millinials gave this a thumbs down lol
meat puppets is a pretty hipster band
@Jack Burton no, not a single hipster likes this band
@R.E.M. Fan you're wrong
(Song ends and guy in corner looks up from newspaper): ................Huh?!
Hard to think of band that evolved more than the MP. The first few records are pretty raw and simple.. The later stuff is just so clever and fun. My vote for best Phoenix band ever..
By a long shot best phx band
Ill even thumbs up my own comment on that
I heard this song at an auction once. Another time I accidentally bid on a Picasso from the mosh pit at a Meat Puppets show.
Kurt Cobain took me here...
2pac man With a prince symbol as your profile pic commenting on a meat puppets video about Kurt Cobain
I see you.
desert dance
This is awesome!!!!
such a great song
Yeeah Frodo rockin'!!!!
Jovial Joint looks like elijah wood jamming on bass xD
Cuando apenas te das cuenta que Frodo Bolsón se hizo bajista en una banda después de salvar la tierra media
they still play this song live...awesome
think what happened if John Frusciante had actually joined
What a cool jam! What album is this on?
Forbidden Places which is now out of print.
Welcome to Diners, Drive ins, and Dives
como hacen eso... como lo hacen (:^o)
billydeaqui con las manos, Ah
Best song lyrics ever!
Is it Ramsay Bolton on the bass?
This whole record is nothing if not playful and fun!!
Amazing
rap god if it was rock
smart music.wow.
how is this first time I have ever heard this..???
tonight is the night when i truly discovered the Meat Puppets.!
I feel the same way right now.
2:57 Cris with the bass seizure
They opened their show in Seattle with this. Everyone's jaws dropped in the crowd.
ADHD song.
Not sure you understand what ADHD is or how it affects people.
Lurve it
Awesome band. I've just changed my name to Sam!
Quicker than Tech N9ne?
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
That nobody'd ever considered important
And damn it if Norman and Betty were listening
Somebody would have become a phenomenal
Howling lightning tampering with the electrical
Evidence shown to be relevant

Chipping away at erroneous garbage

Deliciously spooned from the lap of the ludicrous

That's the way Sam's play around
That's the way Sam's play

Of classified info on Milton's imbroglio
thank you for this
Thank you for shining a light on how exactly retarded I must be. What's an imbroglio?
this is fucking fantastic
My fave love this Meat puppets awesome
Longhaired Eminem xD
WE ARE NOT WORTHY THANKS FOR LIVING THRU
Awesome
I'm not trying to sound like that one fucking kid! But I wish kids my age could appreciate all music. There's good in everything. Well...besides most radio stuff and hair metal and dubstep and most modern rap. There are kids who like rock, but they like awful music like Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Nickleback and Green Day.
"awful music"
"Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Nickelback and Green Day"
Please, tell me you are joking.
nickelback has become a meme because of how bad it is. dont be silly
So lots of people think that a certain band is bad? Are you seriously going to bias your opinion by bandwagoning on other people's opinions? They're ten times better then that Coldplay crap that gets put on the radio, anyways...
Goddamn this is so cool.
"Slipping the rich through the eye of a needle is easy as getting a camel to heaven"
And now the pups are rich. They deserve it
I love this record.
In answer to any ridiculous questions, the MP's are Gods. More Q's?
That would be small g gods, but yes. Now I'll have to re search through all of my mythology stuff but I think a Sam is a type of Archon and messing with humanity is exactly the kind of thing they do.
Milton and Betty agree.
@Sean Hammer I see you know what songs are. This one's a bit tough in the esoteric dept.
@Dick Flinghammer Indeed.
Teddy Rannila named his son after this song! And I went to Greece w/ a very great guy named Sam so I get it, he was prob named after this song....I could feel the vibe. If I have a boy I'm gonna name him Sam, after this song.
fuck rap god!! fuck chop suey!!
Darío Herrera no no no chop suey is good rap god is shit
esta como para cantarla en karaoke
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make about something they hadn't experienced possibly Sam had a different opinion that no one had ever considered important..........
Con razon a Kurt le gustaba, son geniales!!
Sí, bastante, pero ni mierda lo que dicen
@Juan Silva Meat Puppets ayudando a mejorar mi listening
Young Uma Thurman? :)
i named my son after this song.
meat or puppet?
+Teddy Rannila O
that might be the coolest thing I've ever read on youtube. . . yep. definitely. :-)
I named my cat after the song and he loves it when I sing it to him word for word
Wow. I just flashed back to 1991. Great Jam man!
listen at 1.5 speed
Yeah, how they used to play it!
I thought we were!
Fantástico . Esses caras são ótimos
Still looking for the karaoke track version of this song. :)
@Dave Leblanc Yes and... they did it even faster than this at times! Just saw them do it a few weeks ago. Derek is back on drums!
It's 2019 Now did you find it?✌️😊
Let me give you your 100th thumb up. I hope you'll find it.
@Ash Kechup Not yet.
@Brian D where did u see them? In phx perhaps? I really wanna see them. Been yrs since i have
They have 16 albums and a gillion songs. I love the Pups!
I know for II and Up on the sun and can you recomend
bobin bud They’re literally all rad. Favourites are Forbidden Places, No Joke! and Up on the Sun.
Wonderful 1991 classic!!!
Weston Huffman 91 was a good year for music
i enjoy listening to this tuneful tune due to its tunefulness.
Its quite tuney
this is awesome right here.. I think those who like this like nomeansno.. if you don't know them, then you're welcome!!
I got it on cassette!! and still rock it from time to time!
FORDIDEN PLACES IS A MASTERPIECE 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raw Meat!
