2023 we sing this song to our little daughter after listening to devendra for many years. Truly some gems in his catalog. Early devendra is unbeatable.
I remember when I first heard this song in 2010. I didn't know it had already been out for a few years. Anyways here I am 7 years later listening to it at 25 years old.
love this guys music n video , really wish i could see him live, i have a lot of back catalogue to get through though, thank god for youtubes top videos playlist ! this guy has the right spirit of life ....man
The difference between butterflies and spiders is oh so much, The spider's web is shiny and gentle to touch, The butterfly's wings have colorful patterns, they float gently with the breeze, The spider hangs and sways from branches in the trees, The butterfly sips from flowers and an orange peel, The spiders hunts and traps to find a meal, The butterfly is pretty and loved and filled with pride, The spider is hairy and looks for places to hide
"And hey there little happy squid you mooooooveeee soooo psychedelicallyyyyyy- you hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea, for sureeeee"
Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow Ah, maybe that spider knows something that I don't know 'Cause I'm Goddamn cold Little white monkey, staring at the sand Well, maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understand Who knows? Well, I came upon a dancing crab, and I stopped to watch it shake I said, "Dance for me just one more time Before you hibernate and you come out a crab cake" Hey there, little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell Ah, there's mysteries inside, I know But what they are I just can't tell for sure And hey ya', little baby crow, you're looking kinda' mean I think I outta spit before you start letting off your steam For sure And hey there, little sexy pig, you made it with a man And you're got a little kid with hooves instead of hands And oh, all the animals All the animals And hey there, little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs Ah, where you been? Have you broke a wing? I haven't heard you in so long And hey there, little albatross, swimming in the air Ah c'mon, you know I can't fly And I, I think we really outta play fair And hey there, Mr. Happy Squid, you move so psychedelically You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea For sure And oh, all the animals All the animals And hey there, Mr. Morning Sun, what kind of creature are you? I can't stare, but I know you're there Goddamn, how I wish I knew And hey there, Mrs. Lovely Moon, you're lonely and you're blue It's kinda' strange, the way you change But then again, we all do too
And need I mention the incredible musical minds that have left us with legendary sounds of brilliance?? As if there's been a "second Jimmy Hendrix". "HIPPIES" did a lot and they're not just lazy people who smoke pot. They're inventive, sensitive and creative minds. They are not ashamed of being human and they have not forgotten their origin (mother nature). Hippies have proudly shouted and took to the streets. They're people to look up to- Not down to. Think about it.
Nice sound ! It reminds me another psych folk song I've just listened before : the title *"After dark vapours have oppressed our Love"* by Nikö Laetailleurs. You can find it by copying-pasting the title in the youtube bar. Enjoy !
I think it was light hearted and cute... Thanks for a smile. I love the note and the picnic was cute too. I always like dessert before my burger too. lol
This is amazing... the lyrical content seems to remind me how detached people are from nature, animals just do what they do... such simple words evoking expansive imagery.
2021 my mate just showed me this on his phone.... Now I'm commenting on his account. what was that about the pig making it with a man and having a baby with hoofs not hands"? It was going so well til that point, in my mind anyway
love this record..first heared it at a funeral so it always has mixed emotions.
I'm listening Devendra Banhart for the very first time right now - wow it's amazing.
First time hearing this bloke's music...2021...so thanks YT coz Devendra's sounds are very, very cool! Cheers from NZ.
Listening in 2020, I love Devendra forever!

The cold snow is the most wonderful part of my day that comes around at a slow pace!
I'm passing through a hard time and this songs really make me feel better
love your gentle, crazie, gypsy, eccentric playfulness - me gusta mucho!, Devandra!
I got here randomly. I don't regret it at all i've got to say!
It’s 2022 and I’ve just stumbled across the most underrated song to ever exist
We’ve been here, bro
really nice ... what a sound, still beautifull harmony and warmth with this musician.... Underrated guy in musical Insdustry
My new favorite song. I cant be upset about anything when it's on.
Great song! Dev is one of my all time favs! ;)

Love this song!
The difference between butterflies and spiders is oh so much,
The spider's web is shiny and gentle to touch,
The butterfly's wings have colorful patterns, they float gently with the breeze,
The spider hangs and sways from branches in the trees,
The butterfly sips from flowers and an orange peel,
The spiders hunts and traps to find a meal,
The butterfly is pretty and loved and filled with pride,
The spider is hairy and looks for places to hide
What an unimaginative video
omg, this is amazing!!! the cutest song ever!!! :D
this is brilliantly original and should be categorized as such...
"And hey there little happy squid you mooooooveeee soooo psychedelicallyyyyyy- you hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea, for sureeeee"
Filmed at Dunorlan Park tunbridge wells uk - couldn't believe it when I saw it. Grew up here
Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow
Ah, maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
'Cause I'm Goddamn cold
Little white monkey, staring at the sand
Well, maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understand
Who knows?
Well, I came upon a dancing crab, and I stopped to watch it shake
I said, "Dance for me just one more time
Before you hibernate and you come out a crab cake"
Hey there, little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell
Ah, there's mysteries inside, I know
But what they are I just can't tell for sure
And hey ya', little baby crow, you're looking kinda' mean
I think I outta spit before you start letting off your steam
For sure
And hey there, little sexy pig, you made it with a man
And you're got a little kid with hooves instead of hands
And oh, all the animals
All the animals
And hey there, little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs
Ah, where you been?
Have you broke a wing?
I haven't heard you in so long
And hey there, little albatross, swimming in the air
Ah c'mon, you know I can't fly
And I, I think we really outta play fair
And hey there, Mr. Happy Squid, you move so psychedelically
You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea
For sure
And oh, all the animals
All the animals
And hey there, Mr. Morning Sun, what kind of creature are you?
I can't stare, but I know you're there
Goddamn, how I wish I knew
And hey there, Mrs. Lovely Moon, you're lonely and you're blue
It's kinda' strange, the way you change
But then again, we all do too
Such a friendly God is Devendra
you're my hero Dev!
Simply wonderful

So odd, this was a childhood song of mine but I still love it. But I can’t listen to it without the association ya know?

Think about it.

That video is so sweet : )
In Dunorlan Park in Tunbridge Wells (East Sussex), lovely place

Che bella banda di fulminati,una canzone stupenda.
this song gets me through a good bit of homework =)
this is how I imagine myself, with this music on, just finishing baking a pie while having coffee and watering my plants inside my cottage...
That's so pompous it's enough to make me hate this track now
I love it , it's so British
I think it was light hearted and cute... Thanks for a smile. I love the note and the picnic was cute too. I always like dessert before my burger too. lol

I don't know which one you mean but It seems it would be on UA-cam SOMEWHERE!
The original had Devendra and his friends having some kind of party in a teepee. I enjoyed it more than this video.

Forever missing you Mr. A. 😞🤍

This is amazing... the lyrical content seems to remind me how detached people are from nature, animals just do what they do... such simple words evoking expansive imagery.

2023...that spider still hasn't told me what I don't know.
2021 my mate just showed me this on his phone.... Now I'm commenting on his account. what was that about the pig making it with a man and having a baby with hoofs not hands"? It was going so well til that point, in my mind anyway
