I'm pretty sure many of these vowels can't be properly transcribed in the absence of the "e with three dots" character, so I propose we suspend this poll until the Unicode Consortium stops ignoring the rightful demands of a certain lobby.

Mods, my life has been threatened by bizarro for no greater crime than exposing his ears to the transformative sounds of love and of brotherhood. I demand that you impose the strictest possible sanctions upon him, with extreme prejudice if necessary. Namaste.

I never would have imagined, of all the threads about terrible music which I start/revive, that a Root poll would've been the one to take off, but I must say I'm pleased.

If Phish were paragons of their craft, they would be Rusted Root, yes.

Can't wait to see the Root at the state fair this summer. They're co-headlining with Sponge, Tracy Bonham, and Morcheeba. It's gonna be a slice.

Disappointed this poll doesn't include an option for the phrase that he repeats in the verse, which I believe to be ehbubadeesaybubadeeyon.
^^massive oversight imo

You are correct, of course, as that is the most epic of their neologisms. A contribution to our language which will significantly impact generations to come.
'What are you doing, my son?''Well, father, simply put: ehbubadeesaybubadeeyon.''Ah, I see. Please, carry on, my special boy. Namaste.''And a Namaste to you, o father.'
― Pizza's the food that's sure to please! (Old Lunch), Thursday, 19 July 2018 18:36 (five years ago) link
Trick question, because "oombayseeyou" is short for "ehbubadeesaybubadeeyon."

Luv this thread! Rusted Root has an extremely abbreviated Wikipedia page for a band that's been around 25+ years, and has released four major-label albums, four independent albums (one of them double-live), a "20th Century Masters" best-of, and five EPs...

Hearing this song makes me feel ashamed that we beat up on "What I Am" for so many years.

In the interest of full disclosure, I was prompted to start this thread this morning when I heard a Spin Doctors song and my immediate thought was that the Spin Doctors were probably the favorite band of at least one member of Rusted Root.

I wonder why the shot the video on such an overcast day. Wouldn't it have more impact if they were prancing on a plateau beneath a sunny, blue sky?
― i’m still stanning (morrisp), Thursday, 19 July 2018 18:57 (five years ago) link
Spin Doctors and Rusted Root were contemporaries -- mid/late-'93 "alternative" radio was all "Two Princes," "On My Way," and the 4 Non Blondes song.

I often find myself locked in a moment of zen-like contemplation when I realize that most bands are somebody's favorite band. Like Crazytown. Someone out there somewhere still proudly declares that Crazytown is their favorite band of all time. It's a very complex world, the one we live in.

I don't think the contemporariness of the Root and the Doctors precludes the fact that the Rusted Root fife player was a charter member of the Spin Doctors fan club.

In addition, NASA engineers chose "Send Me on My Way" as "wake up" music for the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, for Sol 21.[19]

Phish neologisms include: trune, taboot, blastoplast, jibboo... that's just off the top of my head. there are probably more that I'm forgetting.

Anybody here have some salient facts about əkoostik hookah? All I know is that we used to get a kick out of very enthusiastically bellowing their profoundly stupid name in the midst of an ultimate sesh in the quad every time they rolled through my college town.

I guess I was vaguely aware that this band existed. I must have seen posters or CDs or t-shirts or something. But I am very happy that I had not knowingly heard even a single djembe-slap-worth of their alleged "music" until now.
There were probably people on the periphery of my social circle who were into this sort of thing (baja shirt, hacky sack, Birkenstocks/huaraches, pennywhistle). But my truest droogs and I were mainly getting high and listening to Residents, Beethoven, Modern Jazz Quartet, and old-tymey 78s during those years. We were aware there was such a thing as radio, but as far as we were concerned it may as well have been broadcasting solely to the moon.

Critical reception has been mixed. In January 2014, in a review for Cruel Sun, Kurt Keefner said that "the African vocal riff from "Send Me on My Way" is bad Ladysmith Black Mambazo",[7]
