God bless this band. Paul Westerberg will never get the props he deserves. Dude’s a genius. They made songs that will make you fall down laughing and turn around and make you bawl your eyes out. The greatness of this band cannot be understated
I think is the idea of every album by the replacements, sorry ma is the drunk garage album, hootenanny for moments is dark and a little experimental sound, let it be is the sink of drugs and melancholy
I love that. Was it something specific about Tim? Or just what you happened to be listening to while getting clean? (In addiction to being a Mats fan, I’m a recovering alcoholic and other people’s stories always interest me.)
For thr kids who dont know why they weren't bigger two things. 1. They were raging alcoholics. To the point they couldnt perform. 2. There was a concept of "selling out" that doesnt exist anymore and The Replacements didnt want to sell out. That desire to be BIG. Weighed on them and they imploded.
To be fair; it's pretty much the most upbeat song about pre-paring to "self-delete" ever recorded... that air of melancholy is definitely woven in there.
The Replacements are an all day happiness!!!! Walking down the street with Replacements in your ear. How cool is that!!! I know people struggle with life but music helps
It may be any smokes, I was able to see the replacements, I don't recall too much of the show ( 1989 ) but when I'd originally listen to this I heard "and he smokes" ... Paul smoked and drank... the phrasing an( d falling off ) seems more right. Paul Simon says the listener completes the song. This is an apt saying for the layers of understanding for songs that breathe include this definitely. Jesus is the greatest gift of all. His love is the greatest of all possible abundance.
Especially at the time. It's refreshing to hear bands like the Smiths, The Police, and the Replacements when listening to 80s music. Everyone else was copying Phil Collins and Prince and trying to do that massive gated reverb sound that doesn't even sound like a drum. It's great that these bands had a sound that was new for its time but still sounds like an actual drum.
I know this point will probably get lost now that the sequencing of songs on an album no longer really matters, but this song came right after Skyway (which is also one of my favorites). Probably one of the best one two punches to close out an album.
That is a GREAT point - I spent three days in the Skyway in Minneapolis during a Masters nationals looking for the Skyway before I realized I was in the Skyway. I thought it was a tram LOL. High art 🙏
@@ZoydWheeler Hi, Eric. We in Canada have similar 1960s solutions for the fact that's it's really cold in the winter (tunnels between the office buildings,etc.) Our grandparents were right all along when they said "just stop complaining and put on a sweater for Christ's sake."
Sequencing on an album still matters to me! I always believed it would have been really cool if the mats made can’t hardly wait a “secret track” at the end of the album. So the back of the record would list skyway as the last song
Great song on a great album by a great f’n band. And one of the most unexpected parts of being a fan of the Replacements all these years is when you meet another one, you’ve got a little bond and they turn out to be pretty interesting
I’m here because of Season 2 of The Bear. I’ve seen The Replacements several times including when the broke up on stage in Chicago. But after hearing this on The Bear I had to look this video up. It’s a great chapter in my life and some of my photos from that concert I saw them break up made it to a coffee table book about them.
In the 80s I was a teenage skateboard punk -- was in the mall, and I shoplifted the cassette for The Replacements Pleased To Meet Me, purely based on how the cover drew me to it and anxiety of getting caught. I had no idea who the band was. I was listening to the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, etc. Today, over 30 years later, The Replacements is one of my favorite bands ever. I wish we had talent like this today. I follow music pretty closely but most of the stuff I hear today is milquetoast bore-town -- it's all digital and sounds the same. I long for the days when we can see another small town band rise up with real instruments and create genius like this band did.
As a dude who was steeped in "Sorry Ma. . . ", "Stink", and "Hootenanny", I'm sure I poo-pooed this song/album when it came out. But now. . . damn. This is just good shit. Really good shit. Love the horns so much on this.
This song was originally supposed to be on Tim. The Tim version on their best of, 'All for Nothing' is the greatest Replacements song in the history of mankind. No coincidence Bob is playing guitar on that one.
Saw them in 1991 in an Arlington TX bowling alley/music venue. I couldn't afford the t-shirt but I loved the music! The venue has since been torn down...
Love Paul Westerbergs voice. He wasn't interested in being a vocals rock star, but really, he coulda kept up with any of the soul-inspired classic rock n roll singers of the late 60s, early 70s.
"This is an amazing song that makes you just want to get up and move, feel the invigoration of life! I've got the perfect idea for a music video. So hear me out...."
Discovered the song and the band thanks to the awesome movie with the same title as the song. Best teen movie ever! Love Jennifer Love Hewitt! The most beautiful woman ever! If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have seen so many movies or listened to so many bands and songs. I owe you a lot JLH! 😘😘😘❤❤❤
Am I the only one that knows of this song cause of can’t hardly wait the movie one of my favorite films of all time I had such a crush on 90’s JLove and that whole album was a classic
God bless this band. Paul Westerberg will never get the props he deserves. Dude’s a genius. They made songs that will make you fall down laughing and turn around and make you bawl your eyes out. The greatness of this band cannot be understated
Imo one of the most underrated bands ever. They're never mentioned enough.
fucking A!
Exactly right. I think their brilliance becomes more evident every time I listen to them.
The bear season 2 bought me here! Hell yea love it been on hard repeat since i heard it on the show 👍👍🎧
same!!!
Same, love the show and can't stop listening to this song.
Same here! Such a great band.
Me loving this band since high school brought me here hahahahah
me too bro
The best band that did everything to not become the all American band.
God bless them.
Rip Bob.
They didnt became R.E.M and took 80 million dollars.
Geez Louise
@@winstrola.d3282 I'm not mad at REM for that.
Give me give me two laps cough cough cough cough 😎😉😅lol
The best band no one ever heard of.
Amazing underrated song. The brass in it is the icing on the cake.
Props to whoever did 'The Bear' soundtrack. Fak they know their music.
For real. Amazing needle drops.
I watched the movie just for this song.
When those horns kick in... straight to the heart.
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris
Should hear the "Tim" version. Bob's guitar & a little different lyrics. Interesting.
Stuff of legends 😊
"Straight to the heart from Heaven!"
Tim is the album that got me off drugs. Pleased to meet me was the beginning of a new life.
I think is the idea of every album by the replacements, sorry ma is the drunk garage album, hootenanny for moments is dark and a little experimental sound, let it be is the sink of drugs and melancholy
💛✨💓
I love that. Was it something specific about Tim? Or just what you happened to be listening to while getting clean? (In addiction to being a Mats fan, I’m a recovering alcoholic and other people’s stories always interest me.)
I got sober in 1990. The Replacements were the first concert I went to sober with my friends in the program. Still sober 30 years later.
@@DickBooCocky Do they play the song "The last"?
Thank you, season 2 "the bear " ep5
I just watched that episode 🐻 loving The Bear.
For thr kids who dont know why they weren't bigger two things. 1. They were raging alcoholics. To the point they couldnt perform. 2. There was a concept of "selling out" that doesnt exist anymore and The Replacements didnt want to sell out. That desire to be BIG. Weighed on them and they imploded.
this song always makes me kind of teary eyed. i dont know why exactly. Westerberg's vocals just tug at me or something. love this band forever. ♥
To be fair; it's pretty much the most upbeat song about pre-paring to "self-delete" ever recorded... that air of melancholy is definitely woven in there.
Lyrics are deeply honest, crafting an emotional scenery of a down moment in life.
Dripping with nostalgia
Ballsy 80 proof genius.
Understandable
The Replacements are an all day happiness!!!! Walking down the street with Replacements in your ear. How cool is that!!! I know people struggle with life but music helps
I almost feel like crying when I listen to The Replacements. Tears of happiness and sadly at the same time.
2022 and this song still hits me... Hard.
im mexican, but if you don´t know the replacements, you don´t know about 80´s rock----Nothing!
I have to play this daily, its magical..Jesus rides beside me, he never buys any smokes..for that line alone I love it ..perfect
Simply one of the greatest lyric lines ever. By anybody. Period. Pure Paul Westerberg stroke of genius.
I'm pretty sure it's "Jesus rides beside me, he never buys and he smokes," because Paul's co-pilot is a moocher.
Jesus rides beside me. He never fights and he smokes. ...this is how my ear perceived it.
"Jesus rides beside me. He never buys any smokes."
It may be any smokes, I was able to see the replacements, I don't recall too much of the show ( 1989 ) but when I'd originally listen to this I heard "and he smokes" ... Paul smoked and drank... the phrasing an( d falling off ) seems more right. Paul Simon says the listener completes the song. This is an apt saying for the layers of understanding for songs that breathe include this definitely. Jesus is the greatest gift of all. His love is the greatest of all possible abundance.
Pretty sure I could have this song playing all day and not grow tired of it.
This album has the best sounding snare cracks ever!
Chris is such an underrated drummer.
And kudos to Jim Dickinson and Ardent Studios.
Ah my friends......
@@christophermckinney4756 I was really impressed with this solo work additionally..and his art work is wow

I agree about the sequencing on the record. Perfect. Also, opening with IOU is a first-round knockout.
One of the best (and first) alt rock bands. LOVED seeing them live in Minneapolis early in their career.
An utterly perfect song.
And utterly perfect video.
@@theKurtHoffmann its the same video piece that was that was used for ''the ledge'',just different song.
Indeed!
demo versions are even better!
@@jamesvoneschen6603 Ooh, where do I check those out? Thanks for the tip!
Great song on a great album by a great f’n band. And one of the most unexpected parts of being a fan of the Replacements all these years is when you meet another one, you’ve got a little bond and they turn out to be pretty interesting
That is a grea point. I have never met a Replacements fan that is not interesting.
So true
Brilliant song. Over 35 years after it was released. Still a helluva banger.
Can't Hardly Wait..A cult classic 🎥
RIP Slim Dunlap, the guitarist on this song
Such an underrated band.
They definitely influenced bigger bands that came after them.
how are they underrated critics love them lol
@@anaccount1005 basically their biggest song on youtube has 205k views....theyre underrated
@@hurpaderpp lmao ur just wrong
@@anaccount1005 200k views meanwhile a band they influenced (green day) has 600m views on a single song
@@anaccount1005 you smoking crack?
Pleased To Meet Me is an album right up there with the greats. Like Sticky Fingers or Asbury Park, you just keep finding new things to love about it.
The horn section is so great.
Damn this song is like a gut punch! It hits me where it hurts. I feel so sentimental 😎
Omg me too. Every time.
Most sublime 3 minutes of pure rock n roll
Sipping a milkshake in Grants, New Mexico 2009. A perfect day in July. Forever etched by this great track.
GTA 90s RP brought me here, good tune!
love the opening riff!
That guitar riff was played by Mr. Alex Chilton himself, believe it or not!
He’s actually playing the guitar fills, i.e. what you get at 00:55, not the main riff
If there's any justice, The Bear will do for this song (and The Replacements) what Stranger Things did for Running Up That Hill.
the first note takes me back to a great time in life.
same
i am here because of The Bears S2E5 end credits .
Can't Hardly Wait brought me here 😢
One of the TOP 5 American bands ever.
No doubt!!!!!
*Bands
Exactly
@@brianmac3903 true
One of the songs I listened a lot to in college, had it on several mix tapes. Hearing it on the Bear triggered so much nostalgia like a punch.
God I fuckin love this band
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris
Same
Life brought me here.
love you placemats
When I want to rock I put this on, those drums just hit differently
Jesus rides beside me. But he never buys any smokes ❤
My favorite song from one of my favorite albums - I'll never get tired of listening to it....
The rest of the world are a bunch of morons,,,... for not LOVING this song. pure GOLD.
Those hard and crisp horns really do add an extra dimension to this tune, brings me back each time, even in the year of Covi Variant 2021.
the memphis horns is what it is
This is inadvertently one of the best film clips ever.
It's so hard to believe how happy this song sounds considering what it's about
Thanks chef
This music was part of the soundtrack of just about every college kid in the late 80's, early 90's. I know, I was there.
Such a great song. It’s crazy how fashion trends in cycles. This could be a video for an indie band in 2023 and everyone would be like “cool style”.
Thanks Chef
I love this song
one of the greatest bands over. one of the greatest songs.
I deeply like these guys' songs. An amazing band
Same here
The bear season 2 brought me back but the movie “ can’t hardly wait “ was also very much this song
I’m here because of Season 2 of The Bear. I’ve seen The Replacements several times including when the broke up on stage in Chicago. But after hearing this on The Bear I had to look this video up. It’s a great chapter in my life and some of my photos from that concert I saw them break up made it to a coffee table book about them.
Reminds me of Chicago and the metro circa 82
This remaster sounds fucking mindblowingly incredible. Straight up the best remaster I've ever heard from any band.
What a masterpiece!

It was one of the best episodes I've seen in a long time. Made me smile all through it
@@blitzboy227 such a great show
same, loved that episode
One of their best songs!
Literally an effortlessly great music video
Gran série el 🐻 Oso !!!

The Bear sent me
This song was originally supposed to be on Tim. The Tim version on their best of, 'All for Nothing' is the greatest Replacements song in the history of mankind. No coincidence Bob is playing guitar on that one.
Paul Westerberg is one of the great song writers. I hated these guys in concert back in the day, but their albums are so precious to me.
Aloha. Maybe not their best song, but my personal favorite.
Its aged so damn. Sounds so fresh everytime it comes on my playlist
This song got me through some tough times
Hurry up hurry up...I love this band forever and ever. So many great songs.
Is that part of your sentence "Forever And Ever" a reference to Paul Westerberg's song Love You In The Fall???
Saw them in 1991 in an Arlington TX bowling alley/music venue. I couldn't afford the t-shirt but I loved the music! The venue has since been torn down...
Iconic band, album, and tune 😊❤️☀️🎶🎼
EXACTLY

What a band, what an era for music. Replacements, Meat Puppets, Minutement, Husker Du...
One of the greatest songs ever.
True
just listening to this song brings back to a time with its own hurts and joys but the songs...the songs remain after time and memories fade.
I've never stopped listening to them! Saw them in Detroit! Best concert ever!
Pretty sure this is the greatest song ever written
Amazing band, great to hear after all these years.
Thanks, chef!
"This is an amazing song that makes you just want to get up and move, feel the invigoration of life! I've got the perfect idea for a music video. So hear me out...."
I woke up to this song in my head. Had to hear it again to start my morning
@@jenn-tube it’s an amazing song
you know it's good when the first second is the most replayed
Timeless song, but the acoustic demo version brings tears to my eyes.
been a long time and this song still cuts me to the bone; hoping one day I'll find someone who understand that
great song. great lyrics. great arrangement. wish I wrote it
Perfect.

Great music, nice singer !
No kidding, Paul has a powerful voice!!!

I LOVE this song!!!!
Could be my favorite thing
aayyy i get it

Great song
So glad Paul waited on this one for Pleased To Meet Me. The Tim version is cool, but I can't imagine this song without the strings and horns.
that's the magic of James Luther Dickinson Memphis style
This show has the best friggin sounds
I saw them in ‘82 at Duffeys, 26th and 26th in Minneapolis…
Great band in a great bar!
