Channel Title: Crash Test Dummies Channel Description: In 2018, 25 years after the release of their multi-Grammy nominated hit album “God Shuffled His Feet”, The Crash Test Dummies hit the road for the first time in 20 years with an Anniversary Tour that spanned North America. The overwhelming reception led to a 30th Anniversary Tour in 2022 for their debut release “The Ghosts That Haunt Me” that touched down in North America and Europe — and the band is showing no signs of slowing down. “Touring again was not something we’d planned on, but surprisingly – at least to me – there are lots of people who many years later, still want to come and hear us. The folks that are coming out to see these shows tell us their stories, some of them very funny, some very dark and all very personal. It’s very humbling, being in the confidence of so many people” says lead singer-songwriter Brad Roberts, “and it has inspired us to continue to tour and make music.” 2023 saw the release of a new single for the first time in over 10 years — “Sacred Alphabet“ <video> Crash Test Dummies - An Old Scab (Official Audio) Description: Crash Test Dummies – An Old Scab (Official Audio) https://CrashTestDummies.lnk.to/ArtistPages Follow Crash Test Dummies Website - http://www.crashtestdummies.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ctdummies Twitter - http://twitter.com/ctdbrad #CrashTestDummies #AnOldScab Lyrics: I sit each morning Look at my empty notebook The room is quiet The air conditioning sounds like rain falling Manic-depressive composer Robert Schumann When he could not write He'd get down on his knees and he would pray for help It's not as bad as eating your own liver But still, I'd like to think that there are better methods I try to tackle the page that lay before me But then I drift off and think about the concept of ben-wah balls I rouse myself and I finish washing dishes Make lists of errands Make all my phone calls And then I pray for help But each time I try to make a fresh stab I end up just picking at an old scab </video> <video> Crash Test Dummies - A Cigarette Is All You Get (Official Audio) Description: Crash Test Dummies – A Cigarette Is All You Get (Official Audio) https://CrashTestDummies.lnk.to/ArtistPages Follow Crash Test Dummies Website - http://www.crashtestdummies.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ctdummies Twitter - http://twitter.com/ctdbrad #CrashTestDummies #ACigaretteIsAllYouGet Lyrics: I'm all freaked out I'm all tweaked out I'm being chased by insects And I wanna eat my cigarettes I can't hang out I'm all strung out I've got to grab me by the throat I've got to herd me like a goat A cigarette is all you get So hold your fire, don't light it yet I'm all mixed up I gotta fix me up I wanna pull my tongue out And turn my nostrils inside out I'm all dried up I'm all fried up I wanna burn things now and then If I've been talkin' to businessmen A cigarette is all you get So hold your fire, don't light it yet I'm all shook up I wanna get hooked up I wanna listen to Elvis I wanna shake my pelvis I wanna take the train downtown I wanna hear some Junior Brown I wanna move my groovy hips I wanna bite my shaky lips A cigarette is all you get So hold your fire, don't light it yet </video> <video> Crash Test Dummies - Playing Dead (Official Audio) Description: Crash Test Dummies – Playin' Dead (Official Audio) https://CrashTestDummies.lnk.to/ArtistPages Follow Crash Test Dummies Website - http://www.crashtestdummies.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ctdummies Twitter - http://twitter.com/ctdbrad #CrashTestDummies #PlayinDead Lyrics: I know that you don't love me I know you hate my guts I know the nasty things you say About me, to those sluts Well, maybe I'm a weasel Maybe I'm a liar Maybe I'm a skinny punk Who couldn't change a tire I'm laying down and I'm playing dead I ain't fetchin' no stick, no way, baby I've always been this pasty I've always been this shape I'm just a teensy-weensy thing Passed on by itsy-bitsy apes I'm laying down and I'm playing dead I ain't fetchin' no stick, no way, baby You know that you could train me You know I'd sit and beg But you think I'm just a dirty dog That tried to hump that pretty leg I'm laying down and I'm playing dead I ain't fetchin' no stick, no way, baby </video> <video> Crash Test Dummies - I'm Outlived By "That" Thing?

I think of dictators who were known to have been especial brutes And I try to picture them gathered together in their bathing suits But when I look down at their bodies I can see they're warm and soft and pink Standing around, standing on their two legs Two little legs, standing around and... I try to meditate, control my hate just like I know I should But I can't help myself, and I keep it up because it feels so good But when I look down at my belly I can see it's pink and soft and weak Kneeling down, kneeling on my two legs Two skinny legs, I'm kneeling down and... </video> <video> Crash Test Dummies - Just Chillin' (Official Audio) Description: Crash Test Dummies – Just Chillin' (Official Audio) https://CrashTestDummies.lnk.to/ArtistPages Follow Crash Test Dummies Website - http://www.crashtestdummies.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ctdummies Twitter - http://twitter.com/ctdbrad #CrashTestDummies #JustChillin Lyrics: You said you like mixin' it up I said I don't like to chat You said you smoked the big kahunas I said I'm not like that I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin' So don't be spillin' your stuff on me I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby You said you played some pocket pool I said I played some myself You wanna try it together sometime I only play by myself I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin' So don't be spillin' your stuff on me I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby You've got your friends in high places Babe, I can pull my own strings You said I'm a name in a phone book I don't have one of those things I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin' So don't be spillin' your stuff on me I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby You said we're cogs in a great big machine Babe, I've got the right tools You said it's all just a crazy dream Well, I've got plenty of fuel I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin' So don't be spillin' your stuff on me I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin' So don't be spillin' your stuff on me I'm just chillin', I'm just hangin', baby </video> <video> Crash Test Dummies - Overachievers (Official Audio) Description: Crash Test Dummies – Overachievers (Official Audio) https://CrashTestDummies.lnk.to/ArtistPages Follow Crash Test Dummies Website - http://www.crashtestdummies.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ctdummies Twitter - http://twitter.com/ctdbrad #CrashTestDummies #Overachievers Lyrics: Five... four... three... two... one... zero... ignition... Long ago, a woman prayed that her suitors be Repelled so she might serve God, be His Only God heard her prayers floating up and His Heart was cheered He rewarded her amply with a full beard Then she wondered if she should start to take it easy "Overachiever" might be putting it mildly! A student of behaviour psychology Conditioned himself to stick to his studies He grew tired of these routines and went to drop them But he was caught in his own trap and couldn't stop them Then he wondered if he should start to take it easy "Overachiever" might be putting it mildly! Once a man was determined to get into The program for astronauts and go to the moon; Finally he was in space and saw the planet Fear struck and he threw up inside his helmet Then he wondered if he should start to take it easy "Overachiever" might be putting it mildly! </video> <video> Crash Test Dummies - Swatting Flies (Official Audio) Description: Crash Test Dummies – Swatting Flies (Official Audio) https://CrashTestDummies.lnk.to/ArtistPages Follow Crash Test Dummies Website - http://www.crashtestdummies.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ctdummies Twitter - http://twitter.com/ctdbrad #CrashTestDummies #SwattingFlies Lyrics: Now That I've used up all my ideas Here in My little house by the sea I search for a usable memory But none comes to me In grade one My teacher could do embalming She'd stuff The bodies of dead little birds She told us, If ever we found one Just to bring it to her And in the science room was an iguana It lay very still In its cage And we'd feed him Living flies Then she'd Read the old testament to us But first she'd Remind us the stories were true And we'd hear of locusts and plagues And the tortures they knew And in the science room was an iguana I remember now In my house By the seaside Swatting flies </video> <video> Crash Test Dummies - The First Noel (Official Video) ft.
