This video was satire 10 years ago. Now it's the reality of the US

[zeroleaf]

My Norwegian friend showed this to me. I cannot stress enough how accurate this all is, from the lyrics to the twangy guitar... It just fits so well.

To those who didn't understand the video: it is a satire on the homophobia that is unfortunately still strong in large parts of the US. If you find it offensive then you are probably in the target group. I love how kollektivet use humour to get a message accross!

[Minzon]

As usual they are spot on with their sarcasm/ironie and humour. One of the singers in this video is gay. So to those taking this seriously - you are just as deluded as when you paraphrase an agent book written and rewritten by a bunch of old guys (men) in a very different society than we have today. In many ways it's a good book, yes.. and the book itself doesn't hurt anyone.. It's the people who analyze it to benefit their ways of living, paraphrasing certain parts and leave other parts out.. that is what we in my country calls "vranglære" - look it up.. a lot of people/kids are growing up with this today, and it's sad..

To be honest this is my favourite Country song.

Non-Americans doing American accents are the funniest thing ever to exist.

[LeviaLyn]

this is why I love Kollektivet so much. Most of the time they are funny and entertaining, but from time to time they come up with something even better, something like this. Just amazing. Keep going :)

[eleniandthecards]

I'm surprised they got it so accurately! Hysterical, though!

[stjernemix]

They actually have nice voices - and they sound well combined :)

[Kovukingsrod]

Is it bad that I actually like this song?

[AlliniumRider]

They legit foretold the future! This is exactly what is happening in the US currently lmao

[ArthurPMotta]

This is satire. How can making fun of homophobes be homophobic?

[whiskeythrottle]

Just a matter of time before this is played, in all seriousness, at a christian rally in America. :D

[Hannah-ykxe]

One of the singers is, in fact, gay himself. So I really do not think you need to be offended by this.

[WillArrington]

OMG. Like I didn't already love y'all enough. How am I just seeing this now?

[notcontentwithlosing]

THIS IS THE BEST MUSIC VIDEO THEY HAVE DONE IN HALF A YEAR!

[Ventasmentos]

If you haven't noticed, quite most all of their songs have some satirical sense of lyrics and humour in them.

[PaulTube]

No, the most funny about this is that the song is actually good.. xD

[seanhk]

Amazing vocals in this song. Good job people.

[DragonSkull]

Its a parody/joke btw... Kollektivet isn't supposed to be taken seriously
