Devendra Banhart - Little Yellow Spider Lyrics






One, two, three, four

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 psychadelically
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

  1. s.... ....

    Listening in 2020, I love Devendra forever!

  2. J.... H....

    My new favorite song. I cant be upset about anything when it's on.

  3. A.... M....

    Wait holdup. Is everyone gonna ignore the sexy pig that sex with a man and had a child with hooves and not hands?? That popped out of nowhere

  4. s.... ....

    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

  5. B.... B....

    I can't imagine my life without this.

    Can someone please make a video showing me how to play this??

  6. V.... B....

    I don't think the girl Is annoying at all, i think she's gives a calm vibe to the video.

  7. D.... G....

    Where this was filmed? Need to know so bad..

  13. M.... D....

    I guess Mr. Banhart is going to remain an "average " singer. He doesn't seem to want to sing about anything but his sexual orientation and His videos are mostly just CRUDE but I like a few of his songs.

    M.... D....

    Well,he said: SEXY PIG😁

  14. B.... R....

    How lovely

  15. D.... C....

    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...

    D.... C....

    That's so pompous it's enough to make me hate this track now

  16. K.... A....

    Why does everyone seemingly hate the video, I think it’s lovely <3

    K.... A....

    Negative people are loud

    Hipster music makes me vomit.

    F.... M....

    +Too Brutal For You I like it >~<

    F.... M....

    +Too Brutal For You Vomit? Oh I see, you are an extremely sensitive and weak person.....

    F.... M....

    @elvengadordebronce Next time I overeat I'm going to say "BOY, AM I SENSITIVE!".

    LOL.

    F.... M....

    Myke Crotche i think i know

  35. O.... ....

    I saw silver crystal snakes diamondish last week fly from someones eyes. I had to duck and dodge them and I wondered what they were for about the last week ...then I just saw them in your Carmasita video....truth.

  36. d.... c....

    is this video sexist?

    d.... c....

    why say?

    d.... c....

    god damn no. dont look for sexist shit everywhere..

    d.... c....

    If you have to ask, then you've probably got your answer.

    d.... c....

    only the pc principal can decide this

  37. h.... ....

    I wonder where it was filmed?

    h.... ....

    +Stephen Hughes2 it looks like the Netherlands

  38. c.... l....

    isn't that intro in an Ikea commercial?

  39. R.... J....

    Like The Kings Of Leon, Devendra lost his musical super-powers when he cut his hair and beard off.

    R.... J....

    His magical powers are at display all the time, it's up to us to recognize it hehe

    R.... J....

    same with samurai jack

    R.... J....

    I'll do

    R.... J....

    Ryan Johnson He never had any superpowers. However he was AND STILL IS capable of making VERY NICE MUSIC. Unfortunately, he seems to be obsessed with his sexuality and seems to have a compulsion to make sure we all know it and even tries to make the rest of us feel like we must be like him.

    R.... J....

    No you're definitely thinking of matisyahu.

  40. M.... ....

    There is way too much about this song that I love. So happy music never dies :3 cuz 2008?!

  41. C.... M....

    My favorite song of his. <3

  42. M.... C....

    Trop bien, j'adore

  43. A.... E....

    what a pretentious video for such a great song... :/ 

    A.... E....

    don't worry, it's not the official video.

    A.... E....

    btw, you can still find the official video somewhere online, dm for one.

    A.... E....

    Still having a bad day?

  44. S.... C....

    Devandra is really something special!

  45. -.... ....

    Congratulations: Worst video ever!

  46. g.... c....

    wow dude this is horrible and how is he with natalie portman? wow lol she must be giving.

    g.... c....

    meaning she must be a nice person 

    g.... c....

    Then don't listen...

  47. C.... G....

    for  sure

  48. M.... B....

    devendrea eres un mamahuevo.

  49. W.... S....

    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 !

    W.... S....

    You've posted the same message on multiple videos in this "Freak Folk, New Weird, Indie Folk" playlist. I doubt every one of these songs reminds you of your own shitty song. Stop advertising here.

  50. C.... A....

    Grande devendra!

  51. n.... ....

    1:56   You sexy pig ahhhh ha ha ha

    n.... ....

    Oh my God yes, that was my favorite part. 😂

  52. d.... ....

    awesome song, but this video bugs me for some reason, like a lot

    d.... ....

    @dkrebs11 The hipster has to protect what he likes.

    d.... ....

    it bugs me too, like a couple of teens are trying too hard to make a good video, it seems like a school project

    d.... ....

    lol hipster? You outdated man, what's a hipster?

    d.... ....

    dkrebs11 yeah the video is garbage

    d.... ....

    dkrebs11 the little yellow spider bugs him

  53. S.... S....

  54. B.... V....

    I miss the old video of this song. =(

    B.... V....

    I don't know which one you mean but It seems it would be on YouTube SOMEWHERE!

    B.... V....

    The original had Devendra and his friends having some kind of party in a teepee. I enjoyed it more than this video.

    B.... V....

    close your eyes and listen

  55. C.... S....

    Vocal kind of reminds me of a male version of Karen Dalton. That's a good thing. Most interesting.

  56. e.... ....

    is this the original video? Such a poor video for such a beautiful song....

    e.... ....

    I don't know, it has the right mood.

  57. D.... ....

    borderline barfy cute.... but well done

  58. J.... ....

    ....I think he is on drugs.

  59. M.... R....

    this song just makes me happy inside :3

  60. P.... R....

    Did she just skip down the street and steal somebody's bike?

  61. A.... ....

    So happy :3

  62. p.... e....

    Piece of shit video, the girl is really annoying... I love devandra though.

  63. P.... e....

    I'm passing through a hard time and this songs really make me feel better

  64. M.... ....

    this girl is freaking annoying

  65. W.... ....

    She's right. The video sucks.

  66. W.... ....

    Yeah, that or maybe you're just an ass

  67. J.... K....

    love the way he says fourrrr at the beginning :)

  68. m.... ....

    hey there little sexy pig

  69. m.... ....

    This song is so pretty

  70. B.... M....

    Maybe by James Newton Chadwick sort of reminds me of this song in a pleasant sort of way.

  71. R.... M....

    was this filmed on a potato

  72. K.... H....

    nah she's annoying as FUCK

  73. P.... H....

    This makes me feel all sort of safe and cumfy inside like a warm blanket tucked in by your mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  74. P.... H....

    I love the sexy pig part )

  75. W.... ....

    I'm listening just for that part lmao, love it

  76. f.... d....

    Sounds like alt j voice o.o

  77. B.... A....

    Nice Song :) Nice Man

  78. L.... C....

    loveeee it!

  79. D.... S....

    So Dissapointed in this, this is lame! DX

  80. G.... K....

    This is England

  81. B.... ....

    what's the name of the city and the Street?

  82. N.... '....

    pequeña araña amarilla ..lalala (8)

  83. J.... E....

    Wedding song?

  84. d.... ....

    Funny nice lyrics =) kick ass

  85. h.... ....

    Nice song shame about the lousy vid.

  86. R.... ....

    Just show some respect for the people who made something you don't like by not commenting next time.

  87. D.... ....

    lol you suck. that is all

  88. T.... ....

    I look like a snotty little bitch? You are the one hurling insults. I'm going to stop feeding the trolls now.

  89. R.... ....

    First line made me laugh my ass off

  90. D.... ....

    you should have stated you opinion like that in the first place, your original post makes you look like a snotty little bitch. Analysing the situation, the reason for your first post is probably because your just an unattractive woman who is jealous of her beauty and you choose to express your insecurities by writing hateful comments on youtube, which in turn makes you feel so much better for your sorry ass. : )

  91. z.... ....

    Why? They're two happy pretty young women having innocent fun on a beautiful day. What is wrong with that?

  92. T.... ....

    it's interesting that my comment means that I am insecure, and not that I find this music video to be very boring and disappointing, because I love this song.

  93. T.... ....

    I always thought it was mated, but it seems that your are correct
