When the parties all but over and there’s just a few of you left in the trashed college apartment and a song like this comes on it’s spiritual. It will give you a shot to the soul.
When I started college in 2002 and moved into the dorms, so many people were hyped on this song and playing it. You'd think it was on the radio, MTV, and VH1, but OAR never really got any mainstream exposure. The song still reminds me of that first year and all the good times my friends and I had.
39 years old now with Multiple Sclerosis and I still revisit this when I need a reminder to kick some ass. Of. A. Revolution! You lose every game you don't play.
1990 from UK here. First heard this song with a good friend in 2004 and loved it ever since. Actually encouraged me to play guitar and now I make my living from playing music, this was just the gateway drug.
This is like the soundtrack to my college years. Sitting around at one in the morning, talking with your friends, not a care in the world. You're young, good looking, full of dreams. You'll never be old and uncool like your parents. Then one day...
I’m 14 and my parents played this like 40 times on our road trip. I told them I didn’t like it so they played it over and over again. I can’t let them know that I fw this song
After 20 years of listening to this song, in college, on long drives, on the ship while deployed - envisioning the story line - it's pretty cool to see it come to life in it's own way. My #1 song by my #1 band. Thanks gents.
It was Summer 2005. I was 14. The girl I liked was listening to this song on the beach with her friends. I lingered around until someone finally mentioned the name of the band. Then I walked over and said "oh man are you guys listening to OAR? I love them." She became my first real girlfriend a few weeks later. We'd make out for hours listening to this, Hey Girl, all the classics. Life was good.
My friends and I played the hell out of this album and it was such a perfect album for all the great memories. Best was seeing OAR in 2002 at Jones Beach.
Some of my BEST memories listening to you guys with my BFF. still best friends to this day. We saw you when we were 15 at the tiny Roseland theater in Portland (OR). We’re 31 now and still and will always love you guys more than you’ll know! 👏🏼💓
same, this song always makes me think of my brother and one of our close friends... they'd always play this during poker. If I could go back and just have one of those days back knowing what I know now.
My buddy played the hell out of this song in college. Took me a bit to warm up to OAR, and to be honest, this will never be my favorite of your songs (Blackrock), but this certainly holds a place in my fond memories 😊
I played sports at Ohio State when OAR was there, I’d go listen to them. 12 months later I’d be getting shot at in Iraq as a Marine infantryman. Life’s weird but I like the music.
Some of my happiest nights were when I was at the local irish bar on the weekends with my other friends who were home from college drinking and listening to O.A.R. blasting on the speakers!
This video is like something you'd see on old school newgrounds video. It also reminds me of that cameo they did on College University, ah nice memories. Anyway, great video, guys!
34th & 8th was a On Repeat album for sure. Bonfire parties accessible only by way of 4x4 drive. Alabama loved this at the same time Corey Smith music caught on.
This song never gets old. I remember lesten to this while I did my homework and parents worked on fixing up our new childhood house. The oar cd would blare the whole time lol
brings me back, i’m a senior in high school and a long time ago when i wasn’t looking at colleges, or even thinking about life, i was 5-6 at most, me and my dad would drive around blasting this.
Nothing like multiple ads in the middle of a song when trying to listen to the music. I hope the next time the creator listens to music he has to deal with ads in the middle of a song
Yeah man nice re-up. This song was a staple 15 years ago. I mean it. We went to colleges to see u usually if there was a ufc at the same time. Keep it going. Fucking beautiful music boys.
Why is this a college song? These guys I knew from LSU were obsessed w this damn song and would play it almost every day in the office back in 2009-2010. I got so sick of it hahahaha. Most will say “then why are you here?” And my answer is simple.. to try n remember how the song went to see if I’d still find it annoying and I do. That’s just me tho🤷🏼♂️. “Yeah…well, that’s like yer opinion maaaan”. - Jeffrey Lebowski
Of the dozens of versions of this song I've heard over the years, this studio version I like the least. Sorry to say, but the live versions are the best.
I agree. I only got into O.A.R. about a dozen years ago and my first album was Rain or Shine. I heard many live versions before I ever heard this and it just doesn't sound right. It's true of a few of their old songs for me: King of the Thing, About Mr Brown, this etc. I love the live versions but the old studio ones sound odd to me.
So, I had the ABSOLUTE WORST concert experience at an OAR show in Milwaukee. Had a bad taste in my mouth for them ever since. And yet, here I am listening to ‘em. 🤔
I just needed to tell someone that I just scared the bejewesus outta my best friend (we listen to this a lot) by pretending to sleep then shouting “N I SAID JOHNNY WHAT YOU DOIN TONIGHT” and then, after he calmed down I said, “you looked at me with a face full of fright” and he said “omfg you’re a wh0re” and I said “……no I’m a wh-O.A.R.” That is all.

It seems like all of us who went to college in the early 2000s have a special connection to this song. That's awesome.
my uncle showed me this song and told me it was him and his buddy’s drinking song
That's because if you were in college at that time, this song was played over and over every night!! Great times!
Yes!!! The song for so many road trips, spring breaks, study sessions, etc!!! Nothing puts me in a great mood like this song!
Wow I was thinking the same thing about this yesterday it was the most popular song when I was a freshman, rushing fraternities
Funny, it reminds me of going to war
Man I listened to this on repeat in College, on deployments to Iraq, and still. Love O.A.R!
I bet that was a crazy game of poker
I also listened to it in Iraq. I was a gunner and my driver thought I was listening to Christian music!
@@MichaelBrown-19D awesome, dude!
You GD right
Constantly listened to this in college too! Love the energy of this song
When the parties all but over and there’s just a few of you left in the trashed college apartment and a song like this comes on it’s spiritual. It will give you a shot to the soul.
...and someone pulls out a bowl
You only know if you've been in that exact position...crazy how music connects people

Brother, the song is 20+ years old
yea 2002 was the year, I know the song is older but in fall 02 it was always on at the parties
OAR was mainstream underground if that makes sense. I saw them live in college.
Same!
The 20 minute long live version is epic.
Born in 91, music fanatic extreme, and somehow never heard of O.A.R. I'm truly upset I didn't get to revel in this song sooner in my life.
39 years old now with Multiple Sclerosis and I still revisit this when I need a reminder to kick some ass. Of. A. Revolution! You lose every game you don't play.
Man, all the college parties from 2000-2003 were playing this
1981 - 1985 peeps. This was the song of our niche generation.
My wife was born in 1985 and she missed it :( but she lived in Wisconsin
@@MrSlinkymellosconie here to check in saying that is not the reason. Anthem of my college years '01-05
Yep. ‘83 here.
'88 here i absolutely love this song, but you're right. My brothers class of '04 was big into O. A. R.

Then one day...
And 25 years later here we are! Receding hairlines, gray hair and getting flabby 😂😂 jk
I’m 14 and my parents played this like 40 times on our road trip. I told them I didn’t like it so they played it over and over again. I can’t let them know that I fw this song
Finding things that parents and kids/teens both like isn't common, cherish it at least please and thankyou

"How bout a revolution" just hits
After 20 years of listening to this song, in college, on long drives, on the ship while deployed - envisioning the story line - it's pretty cool to see it come to life in it's own way. My #1 song by my #1 band. Thanks gents.
You are...38!
@@strigilives I turn 38 this year
We were all held hostage by this song in college. Now we’re nostalgic about it.
5:00 this is 100% accurate
It was Summer 2005. I was 14. The girl I liked was listening to this song on the beach with her friends. I lingered around until someone finally mentioned the name of the band.

Lol so you lied to get laid? 👍🏻
@@bms77 Pretty much😬

One of the best storytelling songs of all time!
Ghetto Cowboy is a close 2nd
I am 59 and this is best poker song. You don’t have to go to college in 2003 to love it.
Hahaha, you are right! Keep us 40 year olds in check!
From the first time I heard this in a small Vermont bar till today almost 20 years later. STILL MY NUMBER ONE JAM. I LOVE THIS VERSION😁😁😁😁😁😁
didn't know leaf peepers loved oar!
Maaaaan ... This and Black Rock bring back ao much nostalgia of painting while painting in college
After listening to this song for 20 years, I still sing some of the lyrics incorrectly. This lyrics video proves me wrong every time.
Some of my BEST memories listening to you guys with my BFF. still best friends to this day. We saw you when we were 15 at the tiny Roseland theater in Portland (OR). We’re 31 now and still and will always love you guys more than you’ll know! 👏🏼💓
That sounds creepy. Love your music I meant haha
God bless you all!!!!
Listened to this song on repeat while deployed to Iraq. Loved it then and love it now.
This song brings back so many memories. All so positive ♡ oar will always have a place in my heart
same, this song always makes me think of my brother and one of our close friends... they'd always play this during poker. If I could go back and just have one of those days back knowing what I know now.
Pretty girls like you always seemed to go along with OAR in my college days lol. Cheers!
If this was t the BEST college party jam… I don’t know what is. G Love and Special Sauce is a close second
Revolution!, Jah, Poker.. Yall really did hit the holy trinity of early 2000's chill partiers.
Folk, blues, reggae...what more do you want? Thanks OAR!
My buddy played the hell out of this song in college. Took me a bit to warm up to OAR, and to be honest, this will never be my favorite of your songs (Blackrock), but this certainly holds a place in my fond memories 😊
So many memories growing up listening too this..
I played sports at Ohio State when OAR was there, I’d go listen to them. 12 months later I’d be getting shot at in Iraq as a Marine infantryman. Life’s weird but I like the music.
Reminds me of Keystone Light and sweet sweet college years! This song is the shiiiiit!
This song is definitely shiiiiiit
Some of my happiest nights were when I was at the local irish bar on the weekends with my other friends who were home from college drinking and listening to O.A.R. blasting on the speakers!
Damn guys, I can't believe you did that official video, just so friggin awesome. This has been the soundtrack to my first ever time in the U.S.
I sought out this song because of a story I heard from a Navy seal about a Navy SEALs death, glad I did it reminded me of my best friend
Sometimes I think 2002 wasn't that long ago, sometimes it feels like an eternity
How u gonna put an ad halfway through this song
Think I 1st heard this on my 1st deployment in Italy came home played it at the bar at osu often here I am 40 still listening to it
40 as well..damn. getting old haha
How dare UA-cam interrupt this songs with advertising. Right in middle nine the less. This song brings me back big time.
After 20yrs...finally a music video. LOL.
This video is like something you'd see on old school newgrounds video. It also reminds me of that cameo they did on College University, ah nice memories. Anyway, great video, guys!
I sang this song so many times with my ex husband while he played it on his guitar. It takes me back to being a teen, wild and free!
Doc .H thanks for your guidance ❤
HOW BOUT A REVOLUTION?! and he said RIGHT!
Great song! Love the energy of it; kinda upbeat but a little downtrodden at the same time. Everybody can get something out of this song
That's the magic of the song. A wide range of emotion. Hopeful, yet sadly realistic.
It is cool to see a video to this song.
Who ever did this is one awesome individual or an awesome collective group of individuals either way its great ! And wow the diff from then and now😉😂😂
First got to jam out live to this nearly twenty years ago. And in a few months, I'll get to do it again. Cannot wait!
When I am feeling good or bad this is my song to listen to and sing along with :)
Great song. Brings back halcyon days of youth, though that nostalgia wounds me slightly. The friends and times had then will never repeat...
This brings me back to 2002/3ish during college in Maine - legendary parties always had this one
I’ve been waiting a decade for this.
You only love this song, if you went to college in the early 00
This was one of my favorite songs to listen to on the ski hill/chairlift
Yup....university of Toledo was rocking out O.A.R ......GOOD TIMES
Marshall University too!
I was at BG 04-08 can confirm this song was always on rotation.
College of Charleston
Bowling Green at Tuxes every weekend!
@@ugod_7866Tuxes? I was there too and graduated in ‘01
Dang I love this song. Long live O.A.R.!
34th & 8th was a On Repeat album for sure. Bonfire parties accessible only by way of 4x4 drive. Alabama loved this at the same time Corey Smith music caught on.
Oh man, this song brings back some memories...
This song never gets old. I remember lesten to this while I did my homework and parents worked on fixing up our new childhood house. The oar cd would blare the whole time lol
This was such a college song!
July 6 2023. Still my Jam!!!!
July 26th still my jam!
Cheers to you, Katie. I will think of you often and miss you forever. This is our song.
brings me back, i’m a senior in high school and a long time ago when i wasn’t looking at colleges, or even thinking about life, i was 5-6 at most, me and my dad would drive around blasting this.
I love the slight sharpness on the harmony echo of I lost it all 😂
Float trip college days ❤
Best friend and I would listen to this on our cruises back in the day. And that's all i have to say about that.
Never heard of this song until 2 years ago... Now I am amazed by it
2002 was a great year
The songs never get old. Love it king!
Umm it gets very old imo lol
This song will get stuck in your head!
In the most obnoxious way too
My friend played this on a jukebox in a bar one night and everyone was looking around so confused because it went on forever lol
Nothing like multiple ads in the middle of a song when trying to listen to the music.
I hope the next time the creator listens to music he has to deal with ads in the middle of a song
Takes me back to WVWC in the year 2000. Best years of my life.
My favorite song
Excellent song
I just listen to this and The Gambler on repeat while I play poker on Red Dead Redemption 2 because I’m too broke to play real poker.
Yeah man nice re-up. This song was a staple 15 years ago. I mean it. We went to colleges to see u usually if there was a ufc at the same time. Keep it going. Fucking beautiful music boys.
I love this song, but I fucking HATE how old it makes me feel.
One of my favorite songs
EVERY LYRIC VIDEO SHOUKDNBE FUN LIKE THIS.
This was my favorite song in 2003 when I was in third grade
Johnny got two eyes. Thems are snake eyes.
Of a REVOLUTION
Let's do this
Why is this a college song? These guys I knew from LSU were obsessed w this damn song and would play it almost every day in the office back in 2009-2010. I got so sick of it hahahaha.

Revolution!💙!

Sigma Chi Derby Days forever seared into my brain. Nothing better than Spring Quarter at THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY!

My Favorite song 🙂

Thank you to the gentleman at the Golden Nugget poker room for introducing me to this song. 👍
How does this only have 900 likes in 2022
Maybe because the animation is so bad.
So, I had the ABSOLUTE WORST concert experience at an OAR show in Milwaukee. Had a bad taste in my mouth for them ever since. And yet, here I am listening to ‘em. 🤔
What was the experience?
Was anyone else at the concert at T Ed Garrison? 💜🦾🤘🏻🌞🫶🏻🎈
