This is a very very deep song with real deep transcendental sendings. These guys were big without being understood, definitely not a commercial band. The Canadians give the world again a big talent that we discover late. Deep respect to the band and as well to the poet. The whole album is a masterpiece.
My dad had this CD when I was really young. Whenever I hear this band I think of him driving me to preschool. It’s actually one of my earliest memories lol
Keep playing it. i bought this CD at the USAF exchange at Elmendorf AFB just before deployment. All the Jarheads hated it , said it was puss&y sH&t! Most of them have self eliminated since then. I still carry on stage 3 cancer and all that crap. It is good soul music from a time when peace was real.
It's hard to say that they were the most underrated, because the 90s had tons of bands that were just as good and even more obscure. At least these guys had billboard number one single back the decade when that mattered.
Here, this was a few years later but completely unknown. I found them because I would run across them with my band back during those days. The thing was, for as good as these bands are, they aren't unique in the quality of the music they were producing. ua-cam.com/video/NmLEiIoDZiw/v-deo.html Or is this song from them might be more to your liking: ua-cam.com/video/gbFYYOOWJ8I/v-deo.html
Fué buena época verdad? Ese ya soy yo hablándote, Dios está cocinando mi cena , dice que como es mi padre , pues que tiene q cocinarme, ........yo te llevo a los 90 , pero 2990
If it wasn't for UA-cam I'd think I was the only fan in the world of this album. Truly unique composition, lyrical structure and imagination. I never play a single, it's the entire album every time. Most haters can't "get past" his voice, but it's perfect for the atmosphere of the album and stories. Peace
Nailed it man, love them. Saw them live in Calgary a few years ago at a small sold out venue. Still one of the best shows I've ever had the privilege of being in attendance for.
One of the best albums from the 90’s, those rare ones where you never skip a song. The ‘not quite clear about what you just spoke’ gets me every time. I’ve never had very strong faith or belief in God, i always got in trouble in religion class for asking too many questions.
WTG! I don't believe in those mythologies either, and that same line gets me. The whole song is amazing. Their voices together are astounding and the lyrics? Wow. The whole video is perfect.
Screaming atheist here and I have loved this album since it was released. One of my all time favorite song lyrics is from this album: “and if your eye got poked out in this life, will it be waiting up in Heaven with your wife?” I can recall when growing up having similar discussions while contemplating religion and faith.
@meisteremm Why do I have to respect beliefs that are nonsense? I don't. As I said, beliefs are not true and are not sacred. No, I don't have to respect them. Don't pretend you would respect someone's belief that they saw magic gold plates in a hat that only one person could read. Don't tell me you respect everyone else's beliefs. You don't. screw that. So, in other words, as long as I follow your rules, it's all good? NOPE! And I don't, can't and won't, force anyone to do anything and I never have. Religions do that.
@meisteremm You are being insufferable. Do you not realize that crazy beliefs are hurting people every single day? It can only lead to suffering! Why put up with the craziness that leads to people further believing in more bullshit. Gullible people are easily led. If you'll believe in something, you'll fall for anything. And if you allow people to utter and live the worst nonsense possible, you are letting it get worse. It leads to planes into buildings, terrible wars, groups demanding the deaths or imprisonment of other groups or insisting on their inferiority. Belief in bullshit is NOT HARMLESS! Where do you think witch burnings and Crusades and Inquisitions came from! It does lead to causing harm. Richard Dawkins tries to instill knowledge and intelligence, that's it. Why would that be insufferable? If you think it is, then something is wrong with your thinking! Why do you think so many ignore Climate Change to the detriment of all of us?!
People have been so shy to admit they like this album for 30 years. I even lost friends when it released because I was so stoked bout it. Oh well. herds do what herds do.
I’m a metal head so typically this is the furthest from what I would usually listen to, but there’s something about this album. It truly is a masterpiece. I love it
They are/were orchestral musicians. Real nerds, being really passionate and telling of humanities fall or ascension. We chose to fall. Oh well, we can try again, next time god shuffles his feet.
Truly agreed , and so many people don't remember them , but then when it's played it's like wow to those who forgot about these beautifully out together artists , I will never stop appreciating this !
Thank you Crash Test Dummies for giving me so many memories, and making the 90s the best decade of my life. I will always love your music. Stay safe Brad, and the rest of your band, and family during these hard times.
This is a very smart song. The people seek meaning in their lives from a power greater than themselves. But they want that greater power to adhere to their expectations and demands.
The meaning of life you can find in God. The meaning of life is love and that is the power of God. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps not record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." it is written in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. That's why people seek God, because they want to see his face, Jesus's face. Faith is the most important aspect in a person's life. You can't take your material belongings with you, but whom you trusted and to whom you gave your life to will be with you for eternity.
I know, what a narcissist God is, I love the old Codger, but how predictable. BTW I am 48 and bought this a soon as it came out. It carried me through a few tours. USAF Combat Field med/Medical tech 3rd nursing squad Elmendorf AFB, PACAF feild of op.
Add it with Counting Crows "August And Everything After" and The Cranberries "No Need To Argue" and you have THE sound of my teenage years spent in South Africa, 3 absolutely brilliant albums from start to finish!
Such a unique band. There’s something about their songs and lyrics that are very deep but quirky at the same time; throw in that great voice and there’s nothing else like it. Do you know what I mean by that?
I love crash test dummies, the 90s would not have been the same without them, I love Ellen Reid, she was my and will be my platonic love forever, and Brad's voice brings back fond memories.
I grew up in the 60's when the British Invasion hit the US. Great Bands! Then one night in the 90's I was watching SNL and their musical guest was the Crash Test Dummies. They sang God Shuffled His Feet. I was impressed by their originality, I'd never heard anything like them. And to this day I'm a huge fan! Love their work!
Quite simply this is one of the best songs ever from one of the greatest albums of all time. It is also without doubt, the best produced album of ALL time, bar none.
One of my all time favorites. Brilliant songwriting and vocals. Production is flawless. I'm grateful I got to see them perform up in Michigan some years back. I love all their albums. Brad you are the man.
This song helped me see the church for what it has become. Even if you don't believe in the judeo-christian belief of God the point is: quit wasting time on stupid questions and live your life now as a good person!
I could up vote this comment all damn day! I play this song for everyone and I haven't seen anyone "get it" YET! I always sing the part of 'there's one or two things I'd like to ask' and change it to tell Him...cuz I just want to thank Him for everything and everyone experience (especially the bad) cuz it's all been so fucking beautiful, I wish everyone could see things the way I do! Peace and Love brother!
Like God, this one never grows old! :) A wonderfully realized blend of rock, folk, smooth counterpointed vocals and philosophically skewed lyricism. 5+ stars.
Even in Australia the album was underrated ... but not in my home it still gets airplay . One of my top ten . 💖💖💖 it’s brilliant it was written.... fan for life 😎
Latzilla_nz I agree cause now they use different instruments that sounds more like other genres mixed in with some of the good genres which ruins that genre (example country mixed with pop music *terrible*)
I got this album on christmas and me and my family would listen to this album while playing master system and pc games throughout 1993. Whenever i put up that album i think back to those days when we played parlour games, nhl hockey, links and all that. It's the "cozy memories and nostalgia" album. Kinda crazy considering we all were more hard rock and heavy metal but God shuffled his feet is like this nostalgia warm fire pit album i always return, especially when i play old games on my master system.
The voice fits the song and the video. Nice vocal sound, he does dark real well. Wonder if he can do cheery too. That would be something to hear. He certainly has a very unique sound. Never was a fan, but I've been listening more and more, with an appreciation of the talent of the entire band.
Always liked mmm mmm mmm have just started listening to the rest of the songs from this album and I love it, very unassuming band should have gotten more recognition
Well into my 30's back in the Nineties, didnt give this band much thought, as well as many other bands, guess I was still stuck in the 70's and 80's. Kind of rediscovered Crash Test Dummies, wow, what talent. I really enjoy their harmonies, thoughtful song lyrics, unique sound. I would certainly go see them live if the opportunity presented itself.
I had a chance to see them in Detroit not too long after this album came out. It was March, maybe. Robert's voice literally shook the rafters. Confetti from the NYE party that was stuck in the ceiling started fluttering down. They were amazing. I also remember Ellen doing some mongolian throat singing. It was a very interesting night.
@@blockbusterlady5993 Haha....not really. Feel like I'm 30. If I can remember what that was like....Yeah just turned 60 as a fact. Rock n roll keeps you young. My father-in-law is 96. Now thats freaking old! Keep rocking and all the best to you
I’d have to admit we fell in love with the CD .... the songs , the music was on point ...just a shame we couldn’t hear it in concert . Poor newly weds ... still gets airplay in our little world . Thank you for the music
This album takes me on some groovy trips. I don’t think you could add another note to make it a better offering. ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS MUSICIANSHIP!!! SOLID EFFORT…KUDOS!!!
Takes me back straight back to '95 when i first heard it aged 17 .This powerful music is a powerful tool for projecting back in time to my youth and much better times .😢😂
I'll never forget when I first got this C.D. On Christmas morning amongst all the wrapped presents was an unwrapped, purple, crash-test dummy doll with this C.D. tied between it's hands. It was the first gift of mine that I saw. I was thrilled to death. Oh, the 90's....what a time to be a teenager. Lol.
After seven days He was quite tired so God said: "Let there be a day Just for picnics, with wine and bread" He gathered up some people he had made Created blankets and laid back in the shade The people sipped their wine And what with God there, they asked him questions Like: do you have to eat Or get your hair cut in heaven? And if your eye got poked out in this life Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife? God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them; The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him So he said:"Once there was a boy Who woke up with blue hair To him it was a joy Until he ran out into the warm air He thought of how his friends would come to see; And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease? God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them; The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him The people sat waiting Out on their blankets in the garden But God said nothing So someone asked him: "I beg your pardon: I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?" God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them; The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him
I used to sing this song so much......I had no idea the line was "Until he ran out into the warm air"...I would always just stop and try to decipher that line!
Brads voice is a cuddle in vocal form. No music has ever even come close to soothing me like these guys do. Have many bittersweet memories attached to this album.
3:10 and on gives me chills. This song Always reminded me of my good friend Jeremy who just recently passed on suddenly at 38. I am still in shock and miss him dearly. He was a huge believer in God and took a lot of passion into praising our lord. So this song always makes me think of him. He was a musician himself He loved and was always playing the guitar His look and style was old fashioned hippie, a few of these songs crash test dummies did always kind of reminded me of Him. RIP my brother I know you are still here x in our hearts
Still to this day, this song was a stroke of genius, and a masterpiece. 2020 a year for the books, and unforgettable memories that this year will leave behind, some good, some bad... this too will pass, here is to better years ahead of us.
It's amazing they are still touring in 7 different countries. If I went to a show I'd probably be in tears. Oh man the childhood memories crash test dummies unfold. We are all old now, all us 80s babies. Where the fuck did the time go?
You cant care what other people think of what god gives you. If you have blue hair. its a gift from god. Things like haircuts in heaven and all that mean nothing in comparison. what you have is gods gift and it is you. you need nothing else. that is the message of this song.

Idk about the commercial part, they were on one of the biggest comedies of all time dumb and dumber.
100%
Some of us GenXers appreciated their lyrical genius and appreciated them so much, they were the soundtrack to my teen years. They were everything.

How can anyone NOT like Brad's voice? It's a great baritone, rich and distinctive. And CTD were an underrated band, as this song shows.

The voice fits the song and the video. Nice vocal sound, he does dark real well. Wonder if he can do cheery too. That would be something to hear. He certainly has a very unique sound. Never was a fan, but I've been listening more and more, with an appreciation of the talent of the entire band.
Afternoons and Coffee Spoons is pretty cheery, and it works beautifully.
I was a teenager from a small town in Italy when I first heart this song. They were amazing and the bass line of this song is simply beautiful.

This album takes me on some groovy trips. I don’t think you could add another note to make it a better offering. ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS MUSICIANSHIP!!! SOLID EFFORT…KUDOS!!!
It's been over two decades since I've listened to this classic. I'm grateful to have the honer to hear it once again in my lifetime.
Powerful deep vocals!
Some of the best music ever made. All on one album. Sometimes the stars align and here is the proof. thanks guys.
A song so brilliant it unites both theists and atheists.
Well said
I was 15 or so when I bought this album back in the 90s. Still amazes me now as I'm in my mid-40.
Most underrated song and band in my honest opinion
Seeing them live next month for the first time. Love this album, can't wait.
What a fantastic album! Rock On!
30 years on , still ducking amazing.
Oh my what a voice
🦆🦆🦆
Me gusta estas entregas normales, con gente normal, con historias cotidianas. Gracias
Nostalgic overload. What a band, brings me straight back to growing up in the 90s
Essa banda foi muito querida no Brasil na década de 1990! Um dos grandes êxitos comerciais da Artista Records naquela época!
Concordo plenamente 👍🏼❤️🎶

Takes me back straight back to '95 when i first heard it aged 17 .This powerful music is a powerful tool for projecting back in time to my youth and much better times .😢😂
I need more Crash Test Dummies in my life. I've known every note and every word since this album first came out. Every song is perfection.
This was one of my first albums. No one I knew really liked this. A treasure of mine.
Que qualidade sublime dessa banda e a sonoridade perfeita aliada a essa essa voz sensacional
Concordo! Lembra o timbre de voz do vocalista do Rigth Said Fred...
Tbm concordo!
What a great band! Great voice on that man
In the early ninties I was in the Navy, and we loved this band. Still do.
Personally, my favorite Crash Test Dummies song! Got to see them in their hometown (Winnipeg) in December 2023; what amazing show!
This song is still amazing, i bought the cassette tape as a 17 year old in 1993
His lyrics are so fun. The arrangements are dope too.
Amazing Awesome Band... My heart soars with this one!~* 💕🎶
What a beautiful gathering of so much talent. The vocals and the perfect notes fill me up!
One of the most enjoyable bass lines I've ever heard
100% this.
Saw them live a couple of weeks ago and was amazing.
I'll never forget when I first got this C.D. On Christmas morning amongst all the wrapped presents was an unwrapped, purple, crash-test dummy doll with this C.D. tied between it's hands. It was the first gift of mine that I saw. I was thrilled to death. Oh, the 90's....what a time to be a teenager. Lol.
Their whole catalogue is excellent , these guys are world class players / writers im so glad i stumbled upon this song
In moments of anxiety , he was drageged is song ,,, exellent
I have alot of childhood memories of this song, my dad played it alot. Haven't heard it in a long time.
A masterpiece. It brought tears to my eyes.
After seven days
He was quite tired so God said:
"Let there be a day
Just for picnics, with wine and bread"
He gathered up some people he had made
Created blankets and laid back in the shade
The people sipped their wine
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?
God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him
So he said:"Once there was a boy
Who woke up with blue hair
To him it was a joy
Until he ran out into the warm air
He thought of how his friends would come to see;
And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?
God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him
The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing
So someone asked him: "I beg your pardon:
I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke
Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?"
God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him
I used to sing this song so much......I had no idea the line was "Until he ran out into the warm air"...I would always just stop and try to decipher that line!
Brads voice is a cuddle in vocal form. No music has ever even come close to soothing me like these guys do. Have many bittersweet memories attached to this album.
I love this album. A friend used to play it and I thought it was brilliant. The lyrics to the songs on it are different in an amazing way. 😀
Great band , Brad and Ellen's voices compliant each other perfectly. Still love the album named after this track.
My favourite album...lyrics are astounding...
3:10 and on gives me chills. This song Always reminded me of my good friend Jeremy who just recently passed on suddenly at 38. I am still in shock and miss him dearly. He was a huge believer in God and took a lot of passion into praising our lord. So this song always makes me think of him. He was a musician himself He loved and was always playing the guitar His look and style was old fashioned hippie, a few of these songs crash test dummies did always kind of reminded me of
Him. RIP my brother I know you are still here x in our hearts
Saw CTD last night live in Oxford, England… brilliant 😊
Still to this day, this song was a stroke of genius, and a masterpiece. 2020 a year for the books, and unforgettable memories that this year will leave behind, some good, some bad... this too will pass, here is to better years ahead of us.
How's that pipe dream going for you?
It's amazing they are still touring in 7 different countries. If I went to a show I'd probably be in tears. Oh man the childhood memories crash test dummies unfold. We are all old now, all us 80s babies. Where the fuck did the time go?
I have had a crush on Ellen Reid since I saw Superman's song. 25 years later... still do.
She's gorgeous in this video!
Oh yeah
Yep. She's a beauty, and that voice.....
Oh yeah...big time!
I got to work with her. I think she liked me. That was 10 years ago.
Increible que una cancion y un video tan fascinante tenga tan solo 1 millon y medio de visitas. 😢 grandes recuerdos. Regards from México. 🇲🇽
Damn...... 25 years later... And i can still remember the lyrics.. Ah... Music without autotune!
I recently took my sons to their concert. They loved it. I had this album when I was in High School. Now I have 3 copies LOL
El sonido que tiene este álbum no se compara con ninguno de los 90. Es increibleee
Uno de los mejores discos de los 90s! Por ahí también está Fionna Apple
🎉🎉 💯 great!👏👏
Brad has such a beautiful, deep voice.
Agreed!
Ellen back-up vocals are jus awesome as well.
1 of the best folk bands Canada has to offer.
You cant care what other people think of what god gives you. If you have blue hair. its a gift from god. Things like haircuts in heaven and all that mean nothing in comparison. what you have is gods gift and it is you. you need nothing else. that is the message of this song.
