You guys remember when VH1 called Gary numan a one hit wonder? Now we all wonder wtf happened to VH1
Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch......well said
Vapid Hubris 1 :p
whats a "vh1" some kind of corona variant?
@@ravensnflies8167 something that was last relevant in the time of VHS
Holy shit. Did that actually happen?
Kinda off-topic. We used to have a music store over here in the UK that put all of Nine Inch Nails' music under nu-metal... Come on. When The Fragile came out they classed them as "nu-metal Gods"... People really don't have a fucking clue at times. I think the were called MVC, Music, Video, Cassette. Lasted as long as a rancid fart in the wind.
As for Gary Numan, I saw him play in Southampton last year. Easily one of the best shows that I've ever seen live! Really looking forward to Intruder, and catching him live again. This guy is relentless. Strength to strength.
I don't know if you've heard of Jayce Lewis? If not, I highly recommend.
No wonder Trent Reznor has so much respect for Gary. Genius breeds another genius.
Black Ops 2 main theme hits hard af, knew I recognized the nane Trent R.
Good comparison, I hadn't thought of it
He's 66 and still putting out amazing music 😮... Legend 🤘
True story. I was near the entrance to Disneyland in Calfornia, the evening of Sat. Dec. 23, 2022. And I saw him with his wife and oldest daughter. I recognized him, and called his name. His wife turned around and then he did. And it blew me away. I was lucky enough to chat with him for a few minutes and took three selfies. I remember asking his daughter if she knew how cool he was. She had headphones on and Gary said "She is probably listening to my music". Super nice guy and humble too. It made my year, as I am a big fan of his. First saw him in the 1980'sl, and 3 times in the last 6 or 7 years. He is a pioneer in the field of electronic music and very underrated and under-appreciated. He should be in the Rock Hall of Fame, but those a-holes have about a 20 year backlog to catch up on. Happy New Years to all music lovers out there!
Gary -family actors were added to Disneyland in 2020. (People were tired of talking to Goofy.) We're glad you enjoyed the "experience."
😯Whoa! How cool is that?! Thx for sharing!
just let the man enjoy disneyland.
@@01011010ANOMALY The picture I have of him and his wife with me speak otherwise. They both enjoyed talking to a true fan.
He saved my life- his music I was inspiration for an 18 year old soldier, in a job i had no preparation for (field artillery forward observer). Made me think there was something more out there. At a time i needed it. He is an older brother an mentor, and a muse.
Thank you Trey and Matt for this in the new episode. Such a good song!
Wow southpark leading us to good music
Yeah, good fucking episode and great song.
@@Ehxx one of those classic episodes
Completely obsessed with this song and album now. Thank you South Park.
Bruh
Living legend. There is no more to be said. He has shaped pop/electronic/rock for more than 4 decades.
Seriously. I got stoned listening to The Pleasure Principle 44 years ago. Or whatever 1980 was lol
Video has some real cool Fallout vibes!
Gary Numan killed it opening for Ministry.
Who's listening in 2024🤘🤘🤘
I just heard this on the latest episode of South Park (S25 E05) & thought "This is GOOD!" I Spotified it and was pleased to find it was by Gary Numan whose work I adored 40 years ago. This is the best new song (to me) that I have heard in a very long time. Just awesome! I now have to listen to the rest of this album & some more recent work! A huge thanks to Gary for this. Again, just awesome...
Bruh
It's VERY Depeche mode. I love it!!
If you like this, you'll also like "I am Dust" which appeared in an episode of the short-lived but brilliant cop show "Almost Human."
@@Archpope Excellent recommendation, thanks! Also love The Promise! Still catching up...
@@augustschweigeryt559 Depeche Mode and Gary Numan have/had a very similar career trajectory - start out with a little bit of radio-friendly pop, then go full alternative once they've made a name for themselves. I can dig that energy.
I'm honestly really impressed by this. A lot of old artists hang onto their old sound, trying to remake their 70s or 80s sound when they don't have the strength or voice. Instead, Gary Numan has embraced modern electronic music and made something that sounds brand new.
Cody Cromarty that's because he has real talent. Most artists just get lucky with 2 or 3 good songs then try to repeat their success. Real talent evolves regardless of the artists age.
Absolutely, one of the best things i´v e discovered in 2018! His late 3 albums... jesus of the electrónica!
@@andressernaisaacs5558 definitely! I plan on going to see him in DC next month.
yea but i bet if you ask mr reznor who is someone who inspired your sound i bet gary numan is at the top of that list
I saw them both play together in London
so yeah BRAINWASHED79 nailed it
Dear god man. This song is amazing. I would watch an entire feature length film or a full series based on this song alone.
The theme for these songs were from a 'Dune like' book he was writing, not sure if he ever finished it
the entire album is conceptual, that is nothing new for gary. listen to the album, that is your feature length with your imagination as projector.
There's a book called: My Name Is Red, it's really good. It doesn't have to do with this song, but it almost feels similar in * words eughk can't find them *
Just discovered this track, I am totally obsessed with it!
The rest of this album rocks
@@jameslangley-yc6ogGet Splinter, it's awesome.
NoYou can't help it,it's very catchy, I go listen to Death and black metal, but always find my way back
Still making bangers at 60+... we dont deserve you Gary, but we are certainly thankful for you.
Couldn’t agree more. Been listening to him since I was 14, I’m 47 now. He still has influence on my music to this day.
Absolutely 💯🎶 👍😎!
He's fucking 60? Dude must be a vampire
@@xpert_domination198 he does have a great hair piece
100% we don't deserve him, mate
iS IT JUST ME, OR IS THIS SONG FRICKIN AWESOME??!!
Oh, its definitely just you, all these comments and all the likes are pure sarcasm.
I just popped a hernia. And you are paying my medical bills.
Nope not just you.40 years ago I bought are friends electric. My first eve record. I'm so pleased he's back as great as ever
Gary Numan is awesome.
@@S2Viana loool
there is something so deeply primal about this video, from the music to the imagery to his eyes and posture being somewhere between hunter and ruler to her eyes and composure being like a meek and beautiful trusting little lamb. i can't be the only one who sees this. but Newman is a bloody genius for all of it

Light em up, Son!
Love that his real life daughter is in this, she’s angelic. Great song.
When I saw her in this video I thought she was an actress,she has that face you just kind of reocgnise and don't.
Toy Soldier Ken Persia
Toy Soldier Ken Such a fantastic video! Been a Numan fan since I did my own solo violin Numan covers live back in 1979...
i was thinking she had some of his features lol.
YES !! THAT HIS REAL DAUGHTER !!
South Park sent me here .
Looks like you were first, bruh!
I hate you!
You don't know anything about me!
I need a bathroom...
Same lol
Then you clearly don’t know music 🤦🏻♀️
Yup!! Lol
I actually heard this song before that but I literally just watched that episode so it was a good reminder.
His autobiography is a worldie, absolutely brilliant...I've nothing but respect for the man.
Just bought it to read too 😊 and it starts already good, imagining him really saying what he wrote 💞 one of the kindest humble man in the world 🙏❣more attractive the older he gets 🥰
When they called me broken, I knew
When they called me evil, I knew
When they called me Ruin, I knew

When I begged forgiveness, they knew
When I begged for mercy, they knew
When I begged for nothing, they knew
I would always find my way to you
My name is Ruin, my name is vengeance
My name is no-one, and no-one is calling
My name is Ruin, my name is heartbreak
My name is lonely, my sorrow's a darkness
My name is Ruin, my name is evil
My name's a war song, I'll sing you a new war
My name is Ruin, my name is broken
My name is shameless, I'll tear your world open
When I called you poison, you knew

When I called you a liar, you knew
I would always find my way to you

I'll show you shameless, I'll tear your world open
😱made a song describing me
I feel like a complete dumbass for not realizing Numan is still around and making great music.
Better late than never. 🤘
Time to wake up neo.
Kind of envy you honestly. You have lots of great catching up to do.
Same here. I looked up the song cars on spotify and then checked out his discography and saw so many albums! I was curious about what his newer (2000 and up) stuff would sound like and it blew me away! I'm a HUGE NIN fan and feel silly that I barely knew Gary at all. Actually that's an understatement. I knew 2 songs of his and didn't even know his name until 2 days ago!!!!!
Check out his What's In My Bag episode. Comes across as a really humble, grateful dude
Interviewer: Do you feel detached from the music you made early on in your career?
Numan: A little bit, yes. I do. I can’t imagine how you would feel connected to something you wrote 35, 40 years ago. Even if you’d had a fairly boring life, age alone would make you feel like a different person. The only connection that remains is what those songs did for you, how they thread through your career.
From a creative or emotional point of view, they’re like the vaguest of memories. You listen to these songs, which were essentially teenage tantrums, and it’s difficult to relate to the angst that bothered you then. It’s like looking back at old film of you as a kid: it’s nearly always embarrassing.
From Huckmag - 2017
I feel that. Even when I found e mails or message I wrote to someone 10 or 20 years ago, I feel like it was someone else and ask myself how is it possible I wrote that, bad or good. With regard to us, as public, fans or just consumers of any art it's different, we always connect for example, some song to some event or feeling, not all, but lot of music we listen after decades, it means feeling was strong ( feels~good~man )
Why does Gary bother to play these songs live anymore, then? Because they are the building blocks that have made him the truly great artist that he is today, and indeed has always been. Songs such as Cars, She's Got Claws etc. define him, and they cannot be dismissed as juvenile attempts at songwriting - right from Down In The Park, Are 'Friends' Electric? etc., he created a brand-new sound of incredible depth and maturity, and though of course he has moved on from those early years, those songs sound as fresh and full of unique imagery as they ever did and remain as testament to his great and highly original songwriting skills, in my humble opinion. Let The Machines rock!!
What I find amazing, is that when he sings Cars live now, it sounds even better than when he first released it.
Yeah I would be like...wait...that was me?!?!? Wth was I going through? Ahh yes....
Gary Numan still groundbreaking 44 years on...
Groundbreaking? Trent Reznor would like a word.
this song deserves to get more recognition
My name is Gary
My name is Numan
Friends are electric
Lookin young I don't age
Cause I'm no longer human
Nice lol
Doesn't quite scan.
I always knew that way back when
genius
that is that best comment i have seen in months. I have met gary, we talked about his hatred for techno music.
this guy's been consistently great for four decades.
Geoff Balme funny thing that even he would argue about "consistent" part.
U R so right!!!
Youre sure of this???
Errr, no he hasn't...
Nah he hasnt. I was a massive Numan fan in the 80s and stopped listening in the early 90's because he started putting out crap, and he admits himself he lost his way. Even now whilst his career is well and truly on track his music does nothing for me, all just sounds the same to me. He is obviously doing something he likes, and lots of fans clearly like it, but I imagine theres a fair few of us from the 80's that cant relate to his current style. Nothing wrong with that, its evolution.
gary numan has been making absolute bangers for 31 years, what a legend he is
Closer to 50 years. First hit was in ‘79 I believe.
@@The_ZeroLine god damn, that just made him a bigger legend
"What you do to jergins lotion isn't right"
🤣
Positive proof, that a true artist just continually improves his craft.
Straight up truth!
Stephen Mann not really
My Favorite band of all time is NiN, i love the way he and Trent Reznor play off each other.
She's his daughter Persia.
new NIN, new Numan, and Conduit Closing's Missteps III.
What a great year for dark, dark music.
He's performing at a Bowie level, decade after decade. His album releases over the last dozen years or so are some of his all time best. Inspires me to keep going with my creative efforts. Thank you Gary!!
Gary is greater than Bowie
Sorry.
@@Heliocentric Just comparing his creative output to Bowie. Both are amazing. If you like Gary better, I understand completely.
I damned near typed the same thing.
Hardly. He’s nowhere near Bowie’s level.
Bowie no way 😂😂😂
So awesome his daughter singing background! Well done!
This is not my first introduction but South Park made me realize he’s still making music. Gary’s one of those acts I thought I’d missed out on because I wasn’t old enough. Glad he’s still going.
I'm a huge Numanoid, and im just really happy that the creators of South park used this song in the latest episode. ❤️🔥
That's what brought me here. As soon as I saw artist name I remembered his song "cars" from GTA Vice City
Exactly! Heard the rift in the beginning in the episode, Shazammed that bad boy and now I’m obsessed! LoL . Trying to figure out how to make my PUBG character look like Gary in this video
Bruh
@@z1n53r check out him singing Cars live with the band NIN
I also found out :) Killer song.
I'm starting to think that all the musicians from the greatest 80s era, got so frustrated with how crappy music is today, so they decided to come back and do it the right way once more.! Welcome back Gary Numan!
Totally.
You hear this and figure he keeps his head in the sand musically as much as you do, you jaded old fart?
(who is probably younger than me)
This is obviously inspired by todays electronica sounds. He's openly a fan of modern beep boops and your just bitter.
today's music is good, you just have to look for the right artists. yes, there's shitty rappers, but a lot of new indie bands are amazing. for example, the duo IC3PEAK has this songs feel. you're just some bitter boomer who can't deal with the fact the world is changing lmao
@@aaka333 David Bowie was really into Death Grips. Very few musicians from the "golden age" dislike modern music. Great music is everywhere, you just need to look past the top 40 for once.
“I can’t find one of the teenager’s!”
I Love the Dark Synth Wave of this song. No one send me here, but it's awesome
Just heard this song on new South Park episode. I've been a fan of Gary Numan for many years, and it was really cool to hear his tune perfectly meld with the animation.
Bruh
Best day of my fucking life....pop pop pop
which episode of south park??

@MovedTo Bitchute so sad. The music is moving. The lyrics make me wonder who "they" are.
So much symbolism.
Only acceptable to play at full blast!!
I never thought that 36 years after high school I'd become a huge Gary Numan fan. Loved the Cars song at the time but have really discovered his brilliance now.
Perfect for walking through an empty city street during the pandemic. It's almost a bit surreal working nights while NYC is on lockdown.
Stay safe.

Yep
I spent 23 years in the U. S. Army. 15 years ago I was in Iraq. 10 years ago, I was in Kosovo. Tonight's the first time I heard this song... I've got too many demons haunting my dreams - this song may help me exorcise a few more of them and let me sleep a little better tonight.
Gary Numan - this old vet thanks you for writing this song and letting the world hear it.
I have been sad 4 days over your comment. I know, you don't forgive yourself. I know you think God cant forgive you. I know your think you can't tell people what you have been thru or what sins you have done. Mercy is the first casualty of war. But I forgive you. And fuck God if he doesn't . My god forgives you. In your next reincarnation i pray may you become mother Teresa or siddhartha budda. Your 7/8 there already my friend , you just don't know it yet.... hag on like a kitty on a tree branch, the world needs you here. Your tomorrow begins at sunrise.....
Write Mr. Numan and tell him.You might just find your share some common demons.

God bless you sir, for your service and help to our country
Thank you from the 82nd
Who is here cause of South Park?
His daughter's voice in incredible
Ladies and gentlemen, the godfather of Industrial Rock
There's were a few good ones before him.
@@princeofcupspoc9073 True, but none had reached the level of success that he did at his height. Kraftwerk comes *close*, Ultravox comes *close*, but Reznor and Manson didn't cover them, now, did they :)
@@WolfWinter speaking of Reznor, I know this is pretty random, but Devo did a cover of Head Like a Hole. it's on UA-cam. find it and give it a listen. it's much better than you would expect it to be before you hear it
@@tedschroeders5289 Heard it, love it :)
Uhh not industrial but synth at start. Once he released Exile his style started to go dark and we have been loving every minute of it :)

Enjoy.
@@garboil you're right he did not... he married his soul saviour and kept kicking arse
Gary has always deserved to be in any music hall of fame!!
Cars changed my life - thank you Mr Numan.
Why has it taken me three years to hear this track. Amazing.
Me, too!! It's f amazing to say the least. I am impressed, and thankful we got some real music still around.
I just remebered it after a year or two of not hearing it, it's fantastic!
I resisted this because I didn't want it to suck. But I could have been listening to this for years now..f@ck.
Same it's been in my recommendations since then but never really clicked on it
Word, same for me.
Persia is incredible. While all her contemporaries are dreaming of instant X Factor fame and fortune, she's doing something very cool and extremely credible. Go girl!.... and some quality parenting right there, Mr Numan.
Timeless....I'm back in the 80s. Gary still has it in shed loads.
He'd still be singing about cars if this was 80's shit. This> 80s
He has a great voice. Haven't listened to him in years and years. Loved his music back in the '80s. Glad he's still making music!
I never gave this song's lyrics much thought at first but if you've had life experiences where other people force you into an "outsider" role and project bad things on you because of your differences from them, you "get it". Gary Numan definitely does.
Yup. I'm one of them. - _-
It's amazing how many songs can do that. I like this one.
This is the perfect theme song for Trump.
@@Myusernamerulez wandering the scorched earth in complete ruin, darkness and sorrow would be a fitting judgement to place upon him. Truly poetic.
@@elless4817 Idiots don't deserve poetry (because they don't understand metaphor and lack imagination)
Gary is at the top of his game here and that is extremely impressive at age 60. The sound is off the hook and his ability to put his personal stamp on this genre now in 2018 is amazing. He looks great, sounds awesome and is totally killing it.
AMEN !! :-)
His voice hasn't deepened that much and weakened with waning lungs, like so many of us as we sing and age...he very nearly sounds the same (I said very nearly) as he did on "Are Friends Electric" and "Cars." Think Joni Mitchell's young voice in the late 60s VS now...that should help with perspective! :-)
@Yuri Fyodorov He sure looks it doesn't he? We should all be so lucky.
@Yuri Fyodorov He's not. I'm not even that young, and I was a kid in the 70's when he was making music. He does looks good.
Trent Reznor needs to get it together.
Gary does NOT age. He has been a symbol of the future his entire career...
He doesn't age because he's electric 🤘
@@remkojerphanion4686 Or maybe its because everyday he dies. ( I've loved that song my entire life ).
What is shocking is that Numan's music is better now than 40 years ago and his music back then was incredible.
Amazes me... from Cars to this song... he still has that same beautiful but haunting voice. Will NEVER be another like him.
Excellent vid. Numan and Persia look great
Ragedity arsed looking piece of real estate. Is that Washington DC post Trump?
Fucking Iraq not Persia.
@Chilli Roach
1. It was filmed in Southern California.
2. Persia (girl in vid/backing vocals) is his daughter's name
Filmed in Wonder Valley, CA near Joshua Tree, CA
I really love him. His vibe and soul is very reminiscent of beloved David Bowie. I can see why Trent adores both. They are phenomenal. His voice is lovely

He's still older than Gary Oldman though.
@@chrisconlon7970 And far younger than Gary Acientman.
God, damn it, Gary. Stop using my name.
Gary numan is a ground breaking artist from the UK
Good stuff and a cameo from his daughter too.
The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
Why can’t stuff like this be played on the radio... 😭
...because the radio stations cater only to 'aficionados' of autotune, generic, uninspired corporate-created crap that honestly, is offensive to me to even call it 'music' - not sure what is worse - being chased by a serial killer in some godforsaken backwoods, or listening to today's radio 'music'. Hmm, methinks the serial killer is actually a more palatable outcome......
It depends where you live, midwest and south= country and religious
East coast= alt rock, rap
West coast= latin, rap, r&b, political (rage against, greenday, etc)
Honestly i heard this play this kind of stuff play on college radio.
Plus i wouldnt be surprised if some music publishers pay some stations to play music that would otherwise be overlooked.
It would wake people up
Screw radio
I love that his daughter digs his music as much as we do ❤❤❤
Saw him last night.. Outstanding.. This was a standout track.. Amazing live
HELL TO THE YES. He still has the edge.
We've had Goth, We've had Cyber Goths....Now we have Desert Goths!
Haha!
I think Gary Numan was all three. 😂😂😂😂
I did laugh :D
Just in time for the new Dune movie
Post apocalyptigoth.
He's certainly aged well.
I’m embarrassed to say I’m here from South Park
Possibly the best Numan video ever. The song is great and Persia is a star in the making.
HOLY SHIT. !!! Just found this. Wondering what happened to him since I heard cars in the 80's. This is fantastic.
You're in for a treat, his last few albums are fantastic!
i thought he was a one hit wonder with only cars
He’s been making epic music for years!!!!
Haha see listen to his lyrics
Do yourself a favor. Listen to Hybrid (2002) forward.
You sir have obviously been consorting with Trent Reznor, and I love the result! This is ground shattering!
"There is only the Emperor, and He is our sheild and protector."

This is the sh** that legends do. If you know anything about Gary, he is one of the most sensitive and humble person/celebrities active today. He wouldn’t want to be labeled a legend, but he is, and always will be. Say what you will about his music and craft, but as a human being, he’s a beautiful person. Persia is amazingly beautiful as well and fills her role absolutely perfectly. Chris Corner, IMAX, as usual brings his stunning sensibilities to the 'Numan vision'. Chris could turn a speck of dust into a full feature film. See you in SF in November.
Meisodem He's the Gordon Ramsay of Goth in my eyes, a true master Craftsman, and family man. My hat's off to him.
Gordon Ramsey????? Thats the 'best' you could come up with? That moron?!?!?
Meisodem: Funnily enough, "c£$t" is exactly the same word that Numan used to describe the late, great Mick Karn (multi instrumentalist from the band Japan and solo artist) who played and starred on Numan's Dance album! Is that the kind of language that "beautiful" persons use?! Unless you know Mr Webb personally - and perhaps you do? - then I suggest that you are in no position to say with any degree of certainty whether he is a genuinely "beautiful person" or not. I will concede however that he does come across as a consistently amiable chap but then few celebrities wish to appear to be complete c£$ts, even when that is exactly what they are.
i absolutely love his new direction i will always love/like gary and his music. absolutely fantastic
Meisodem I agree this video is stunning
I think this is the best of an otherwise perfect album.
I just found this after watching the Southpark episode again. I can't stop playing it over and over. It is beautiful in a sinister way. Taken with the visuals it seems like the dark mirror intersecting reality.
Groundbreaking and NEVER more important. Gary Numan is a seminal artist. It's difficult to overstate his artistry or sociological insight. Been listening for 30 years and will ALWAYS be grateful for this art.
He's truly gifted. Obviously, still going at it and making hits after all these years.
@@akiramenai4973 he’s a huge influence on me after listening to him for 33 years. He’s amazing

wise words...(am 61)
Grand parents are cooler now since the 80s
@@Heliocentric It depended, my grandparents were kids in the 20's and 30's but they were kind of cool, so I heard a lot of very cool stuff I'd have never heard, old Nina Simone works, Jazz standards from the era and the shit you'd hear in old bootleg liquor establishments. My one sister on the other hand was born in '72 and listened to the most boring pop crap you could imagine, and gospel...like Amy Grant...there's badass music from every era, and there's absolute crap in every era, for every one person listening to Numan, Skinny Puppy, The Future Sound of London, Violator era Depeche Mode and Einstürzende Neubauten there were 500 drooling over the likes of Tiffany or other such bubblegum pop shit...
The real trick? Finding the people, of any era, who had their ear to the ground and liked what wasn't playing on the top 40's stations...that includes today, there's so much amazing, kickass music today it's breathtaking...you just don't hear it in the Billboard hot 100...actually, it's the foreign market I've been really listening to lately...Japan, the Ukraine and so on...stuff like Ningen Isu, Jinjer, Asterism, 88kasyo junrei, Unleash The Archers and so on are all just fucking epic
@@Heliocentric im gona b 55 on 18 10 19 and still enjoyin numan lol
AMEN!
Thanks to South Park I found Gary Numan and I am blessed with something new to listen!
I want to say something profound about his genius, but all that I come up with is DAMN!
Numan never fails us.
And by a comment like that you mean what exactly? come on now keyboard warrior, don't slide away just yet.
Oddly enough, 'Keyboard Warrior' describes Numan himself quite accurately.
Really real
Ha, he slid away, deleted his comment.
K L Ur right 💙💎
Heard Gary interviewed and he talked about this song. It's from a novel he's been working on. In a post-apocalyptic "Mad Max" world someone finds a fragment of a book called "The Bible", but I guess they only find the nasty bits because they use it to start a violent cult. When they kidnap a man's daughter he goes on a quest to find her, and becomes increasingly cruel and violent in his attempt to save her. By the time he does reach her he realizes he's no longer qualified to be her father.
I'd read it.
Did you just make this up?
quite a few people have already made several violent cults out of the Bible
Eric Anderson : If I had a daughter like that, and she was taken from me, I’d slaughter an entire cult of religious fanatics to get her back. Like Anakin Skywalker in the Tusken Raider camp.
Spoopy MoonCritter : “...desire to see paedophiles weighted with stones and flung into the sea.”
He should have inspired someone to do that with Mohammed. The Devil’s Prophet.
@Spoopy MoonCritter "NO I'm not a religious person."
You're a religious person. Otherwise, you'd see the myths for what they are. And you wouldn't say something as silly as "Gary is working for the enemy." Which presumes you also believe in a devil.
My worries disappear when I hear this
Cancer and memories brought me here.RIP KIM,KELLY,MOM,DAD...I KNEW
Persia - u r fabulous. Beautiful voice. Brilliant. Well done. Your daddy just gets better and better. Xxxxx.
Thank you South Park for showing me this awesome song!!
This song is so freakin good I jam it over and over
including his daughter-incredible
My Dad showed me Gary’s music when I was a little girl and were finally going to see him in concert 💯 True talent has no expiration date
Make me some food bruh!
This should totally be used more often in other media, this is *the* post apocalyptic song. Anyway, love Gary since the early 80s. Man am I old!
Freakin awesome song!
