Rusted Root Neologisms

I would like to reach out my hand
The hand speaks
The hand of a government man
Ehbubadeesaybubadeeyon

The world was moving, she was
ombayseeyou and she was

The sound of gunfire, off in the distance,
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto,
Ehbubadeesaybubadeeyon

(pennywhistle solo)

Psycho Killer
Ommaway
Fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa fa
Better sim sim sim
Simmyommaway

C'mon, where is the root love?

just looked at Harrisons production discography, and viewed in totality... WOW. What an incredibly shitty list of albums. This is a guy who at some point may actually have said some variation of: "I'm booked up with sessions for Live and Kenny Wayne Shepherd booked out, so tell the Von Bondies they'll have to wait." I'm almost impressed.

I just showed this thread to my husband and now we're both crying laughing

Whenever I hear the song 'Love Shack' in public, say at a Walgreens or the Starbucks, I like to say 'tiiiiiin Root...Rusted' real loud over the music because I love the band Rusted Root. People really dig it, I think.

It promotes awareness of Rusted Root.

Every time this thread gets bumped I get annoyed about the poll results. "Oombayseeyou" was robbed.

Have you ever stroked the luxurious fur of my malamute, Cloudburst?

From Ekoostik Hookah’s webpage:

Formed in 1991, the band has made multiple national tours in the US,[1] as well as performing in overseas locales like Amsterdam and Jamaica,[2]

Only guessing here, but I think they like weed?

ahem, I believe you meant əkoostik hookah.

Precision matters.

Namaste.

Can't believe that my busy new job kept me from noticing this thread had been revived. Just submitted my resignaysh so I can follow the Root on their spring tour of third-rate wineries.

If they don't have a line of mid-priced Root-branded wines, they should.

Apparently they're as political as they've always beeen--as of eight years ago:

Glabicki then put forth an eloquent denunciation of "fracking," the controversial practice of mining fossil fuels through hydraulic fracturing: "What extracting industries don't understand is that this practice lacks ehbubadeesaybubadeeyon. We're consulting with the prominent environmental engineering firm Ombayseeyou, LLC, which has conclusively demonstrated a viable path to sustainable seemoobadeeyah in a recent white paper."

"Namaste," he added, before disappearing in a patchouli-scented cloud into a doorway guarded by a mysterious native gentleman.

Every time this dumb thread gets bumped, that song gets permalodged in my brain for a good couple of days at least. I guess that's what they call reaping what you seemoobadeeyah.

Here, this will cleanse you:

YouTube is not so disrespectful to Röötness as to try to define the spirit of ommaway in mere captions.

There are a lot of competing theories about exactly what sparked the chaos at Woodstock '99 but for me the explanation has always been clear as day

just finished watching MATILDA (1996) with my daughter and was frankly dismayed to hear this over the triumphant closing montage ffs

It’s in an earlier scene, as well (encountered it the same way recently, and naturally thought of this thread!)

ffs

I wonder who has recently said “Lately I’ve really been getting into Rusted Root.” Someone has.

bg's daughter, one certainly hopes

I was at the trampoline park for my kid's 9th birthday and the music was a pretty much equal mix of modern country, hip-hop, and pop music of the type that I hear on the radio but have zero knowledge of except for "Send me on my Way" right in the middle of it all.

I can't believe I missed this thread. This fucking song. It was EVERYWHERE at the hippie trustifarian-filled college I went to for a couple of years. When I hear it, I'm instantly 17 yo in a sticky-floored bar buying well-drinks and dodging frat boys. This is bad not good. Still, much like Hook by Blues Traveler, it's catchy AF and reminds me of simpler, if harrowing in their own way, times.

Welcome, ENBB. Your observations about the song and the times are accurate and relatable. But the fact remains that this is one of ilx's most epic threads, and every time I think about it, it sends me ommaway.

(Insert pennywhistle solo here, while I go get my djembe.)
