I love the way Guy changed 'lineman' to 'linesman' in the first line. Now, instead of imagining some poor bloke working in the middle of some barren expanse in Witchita, I'm now imagining some bloke with a flag running up and down the touchline at a Derby County home game.
I'd think Guy sang the lyric "I am a _linesman_ for the county" (not lineman) on purpose as some kind of nod to football. But then he's not exactly much of a footy fan...
Other sports have linesmen. For example tennis. Ice hockey too (but that seems too odd for Guy). American Football. Maybe Badminton? Anyway, not just footy. Best Wishes. ☮
Most wholesome reaction. Been listening to this song non stop since saw this and hope Elbow's version gets put on Spotify.

His reaction is so cute, he was so excited! Bless his heart
"This is my favorite song! This is my favorite song of ALL TIME!! EVER!"
This clip is one of my happy places.
Beautiful 😊
Witchita Lineman is a great song. Glen Campbell singing this followed by Rhinestone Cowboy makes me happy :-)
Can we hear the hole song somewhere?
@@joakimstrom5773 yes it's on UA-cam. Couldn't put a link but if you put it in the search, you'll find it straight away. Enjoy.
To be fair I would have lost my mind to hear Elbow cover that. One of the all-time greats.
Wonderful
Pure joy. 🤍
Wichita Linesman's Elbow.
Goodness.
Just what January '22 needed.
Linesman? Is it Notts County?
I love Tom Jones' version

"Wichita", not "Witchita"
There’s no “witch” in Wichita, yo!
Pathetic you can’t just leave the joy and the full song on.
I have no idea who Paul Rudd is
He's one of the biggest movie and TV stars in the world. Well, top 100 😂
Do you know what Google is?
To the singer : It's actually "lineman" not "linesman". People have hung for less!
It was purposefully said as a nod to footy
I’m a liney in Australia and we say linesman 😂 I know that’s not the lyrics though
Wonderful
