This is the best tune to come out of the Decemberists since...well, EVER. Colin's vocals are perfect, the lyrics clever and humorous, and the beat is intoxicating. The brass just makes this song. I didn't think 'Down By The Water' could be topped. Just goes to show you how wrong you can be.
It was on a wedding night How they danced by the firelight And the bride was well arrayed By her fifteen chambermaids As her father raised a toast To the health of all the host We descended from the apse To bear witness to the whole collapse And it's oh no! We're jumped and ready to go Where do you think that the money comes from Do you think it just naturally grows? And it's oh no! We lurk at the end of the row Listening for whistling, a bang from the drum And it seems that we've caught you in tow Between the devil and the devil you know In the back of the bazaar By the tramps and the muscle cars We have gathered two by two Just to figure out what to do Pretty Saro's a sotted mess Gone and spoiled her party dress All her suitors so entranced Who will join her in the ambulance? And it's oh no! I'm sure that you'd just love to know But what will you do when the rumpus is done And it's time that we all were gone home? And it's oh no! Kick up your heels in a row A song that is sung where my people come from And it's best when it's not sung alone Between the devil and the devil you know And it's oh no! Dash him in one final blow Stick to the rackets, the heavy's a hack And he's singing pianissimo For the devil and the devil you know When the casks have all run dry And we've laid our knuckles by Standing legless on the pews Shouting curses to our union dues Out beyond the city walls In the grotesque mountain halls There's a darkness coming on So it's best I think we rambled on And it's oh no! On to the next bloody show You won't feel so loose with a noose round your neck When those cold winter winds start to blow And it's oh no! One more before we go How can we ever get used to this dreck Cause I'm sick and I want to go home To the devil and the devil you know To the devil and the devil you know To the devil and the devil you know
The Decemberists - Oh No! (Live on KEXP) 1219pm 28.6.24 so what did you get from this......................? neutral milk hotel, they might be giants, colorblind james experience... and as old has hat this band might be - a nice antidote to power electronics and simpering glastonbury pop.

My favourite band playing my favourite song off the new albums. Love singing along to this. Brilliant!!!
Oh No! This is too awesome.
Jenny’s smile at the end is so adorable

It was on a wedding night
How they danced by the firelight
And the bride was well arrayed
By her fifteen chambermaids
As her father raised a toast
To the health of all the host
We descended from the apse
To bear witness to the whole collapse
And it's oh no!
We're jumped and ready to go
Where do you think that the money comes from
Do you think it just naturally grows?
And it's oh no!
We lurk at the end of the row
Listening for whistling, a bang from the drum
And it seems that we've caught you in tow
Between the devil and the devil you know
In the back of the bazaar
By the tramps and the muscle cars
We have gathered two by two
Just to figure out what to do
Pretty Saro's a sotted mess
Gone and spoiled her party dress
All her suitors so entranced
Who will join her in the ambulance?
And it's oh no!
I'm sure that you'd just love to know
But what will you do when the rumpus is done
And it's time that we all were gone home?
And it's oh no!
Kick up your heels in a row
A song that is sung where my people come from
And it's best when it's not sung alone
Between the devil and the devil you know
And it's oh no!
Dash him in one final blow
Stick to the rackets, the heavy's a hack
And he's singing pianissimo
For the devil and the devil you know
When the casks have all run dry
And we've laid our knuckles by
Standing legless on the pews
Shouting curses to our union dues
Out beyond the city walls
In the grotesque mountain halls
There's a darkness coming on
So it's best I think we rambled on
And it's oh no!
On to the next bloody show
You won't feel so loose with a noose round your neck
When those cold winter winds start to blow
And it's oh no!
One more before we go
How can we ever get used to this dreck
Cause I'm sick and I want to go home
To the devil and the devil you know
To the devil and the devil you know
To the devil and the devil you know
I just happen to cruising and this pops on the radio.. this is a change of pace for 2024. Who knew a accordion was still catchy😂😂

This sounds like 'Hell' by Squirrel Nut Zipper.
And Tom Waits - Jockey Full of Bourbon. Feels more an homage than a ripoff to me. All good.
