Spin Doctors - What Time Is It? Lyrics

My Father showed me this right before Christmas. Best Gift Ever. Think about it.

Fo' thirtaay

Those fascist dont play pretty games

Baghdad is in Iraq. the Ayatollah is Iranian. Typical Americans..know everything but know fuck all...great song though

THIS IS THE WORST THING IVE EVER HEARD

Bully Billy ok bro, you’re wrong

Saw these guys live

Sounds like this could have been written by Living Color

And it sounds similar to Zep's The Crunge.

I love this track. It's so silly but so fun

I m the only who think that vocal resemble layne staley (AIC) ????

RODRIGO ST no me too lol but the vocalist also looks a bit like Layne lol

RODRIGO ST that was the first thing I noticed when I started listening to them. He's like a more happy, bubbly version of Layne with more facial hair. I noticed that he holds the mic stand a lot like Layne does too lol

pine marten yeah true

sounds like "jerry was a racecar driver" by primus

Not really, but okay.

OMFG I saw this *CHEEZE* song by blink182 that has 225 mil views (BOTS).

yes, he wasn't high during this

A woman asked me today, “What time is it?”
It was actually 4:31, but I lied to her, and told her it was 4:30.
I considered the potential harm it could do her, to think that it was a minute earlier than it actually was, but I made a decision in that moment that the benefit outweighed the risk.

I just hope she’s okay.

photondance she will be fine dude

This singer is one of the most obnoxious hateful cynical people ever. He reminds me of every calvinist white male in grand rapids. Beard and sloppy clothes hippie thing going on but truly hate filled fascists to the core.Sick people in my opinion. And the band is stellar and this guy can't sing a single note really. I smell a rat.

I have always liked this track and I'm sure the singer is a nice guy but does anyone else want to give him a slap or is it just me.

if you are listening to this song...besides possibly being 4:30...its time to SPIN.... get with the program....and hang on.... 🤩

Sounds really good 👌🏾😊👄

I've Somehow Never Heard This Son Before, Despite The Fact That Almost Every Time I'm Asked What Time It Is, I Say "4:30! It's Not Late, Nah, It's Early!". Also The Other Day I Asked What Time It Was, And Before Anybody Could Answer, I Saw The Clock And It Said 4:30 (I Think It Was Actually 4:34), And It Was Earlier Than I Expected.

Mark White is one kickass bassist.

A harder, whiter 90s version of Funkadelic

Maybe the gayest, lamest band of the early 90s.😮

MT estranho, mm

i put on my kid's winter hat to smoke a cigarette. naturally i had to put this on.

I sing this when it's 4:30 and people ust don't get it

Keep on singing on!

Bet they wish it was 420.

the time is 6:25 PM

That drummer works that hi-hat so nice. He grooves the song so well.

Anyone have bass tabs for this song ?!

My first time to see the ocean was in Daytona Fla. in '93. If you were in a club down there and any of their songs came on, you would hear a cheer from the 
crowd and you would instantly see everybody groovin' to it. A wonderful sight indeed! I saw them here in KC, in early mid 2000's, and they did not disappoint in the slightest! 
This is as organic as good time rock and roll band can be.

Velvet underground, was it Carrie!

If you travel, out of this country, they still, make masterpieces

With hands, on

106 people don't know what time it is.

I threw up in my mouth

yep, like many other people whenever I hear "what time is it" all I can think is "4:30... it's not late... nah, nah, it's early... early"

These guys were so disdained after their fallout...but what a solid band!

The video is three seconds too long.

Sósia menos complicado do Layney Stanley,esse vocalista é.

Good funky style like the rhcp

it's 1:39....don't get it? ;-)

Well talented

Damn nice

Happy Layne Staley OP!

24 years ago already? F**ck me harder Seymore!

no it isnt

Lol bread and butter 🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞🍞

One of my all time favorite snare drums. Comess is such a clean drummer. These guys ARE great.

Yes I love the sound of his drums!, snare, bass, and toms, he is an underrated drummer for sure

The drum fills on this tune are sick 😷

I love the way the snare is cranked up and is high pitch compared to a lot of rock. I crank my snare up a little extra for this funky rock sound. Gives the snare a nice pop!🤘

fuckin a

Alternative Lyrices: El Presidento, he sweats through his tacos.

Newspaper man, he look like De Falco...

Love this song

1993, which is actually still kinda the 80s but not really the 90s

cursive Valkyr Uh no. Its definitely 90s. Late 80s pop is way different from this. I listen to it constantly. Mid Late 90s pop rock is mostly NuGrunge shite

Such a clean sound
What a tight band
Totally filling the air
with only 3 instruments
and 1 singer

The original formula for rock & roll
Not relying on production values
Studio & 'live' exactly the same

Like their songs or not
Recognize the purity
Honest music
No tricks

@John Baker...You're absolutely right!

Bang on kidda

john baker Sometimes the best sounds aren’t “clean”. Look at Nirvana.

this guy looks alike Lane Staley pretty much

Mambs Mambs I always thought he looked like Daniel Stern from home alone.

I always thought he looked like Chris Elliott from "Cabin Boy and "Scary Movie"

"Hey Daddy'oh!"

This sounds like a less good Primus song

I saw them in S.F. at the record store at Powell/Mission back in 1999 or so; signing stuff, giving away little green frisbees - still sitting in my living room.

anyone else here bc of the grumps

Why did it have to be 4:30? Lol

Cause it’s not late, naw naw, it’s earlay, earlay, earlay

Because they were playing a gig and it was 4h30 and they asked "what time is it?"... and somebody replied it's not late! Check the meaning online.

dahora essa banda adorei

Robson Sousa de oliveira essa banda é foda, eu acho que o vocalista dessa banda layne stanley

They were 10 minutes late for the greatest stoner anthem of all time.

are you sure? real stoners are never on time for anything. 4.30 sounds about right...

Brilliant@Guess Whocifer

@Markus Villalobos ...it's just a-early ;)

I've always thought they meant they were stoned cuz it's 10 min after 420...lol.

If you want that go to Two Princes

I didn't know lane Staley was in a fusion band??
lol rip.

get ya funk on

The members of The Spin Doctors look like they are reenacting the hippie generation except with an alternative pop sound to go with their free spirited outfits and hair!

~Dutch

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

@Guitar Player My pleasure, Colonel Guitar Player!

~Dutch

@YouCantHoldOnTooLong :)

Its 1:28.

+Andersen Bjorn ...as in 1:28 am. Its 1:28 am.

0:40 Nie wieder faschismus!!!!

Its on the tv spins on me?

"It's on TV"
"The spin's on me"
Look up what a "Spin Doctor" is, and you'll get the reference.
Hint: it has nothing to do with records

That guitar riff is so fuckin' cool!

Super energetic and UP! for a change. Spin Doctors are refreshingly different.

Marianas Trench's behind the scenes tour video brought me here

Bad-ass funky!

Oops. Make that 9:05

Currently. The time is 9:04pm

This video should have been 3 seconds shorter...

If it's 4:30 at the start of the song, there is absolutely NO WAY the time is still 4:30 four minutes later.

@Confuzledish but 4:30 is after 4:20 - which means it could be considered a bit late ;)

Thanks Arin

+Confuzledish depends on if it was really 4:20!!! hahahaha

Game grumps!

What time is it? Game grumps time!

Played every day at 4:30 when I get off for work

+Ryan Kudasik hahaa

Ahah cher drôle

The whole album is pretty good to get moving

Do you still?

The only acceptable answer in this family when asked , 'what time is it?', is 4:30, otherwise you get short shrift! ;o)

Pardon 20 yr=d mean.

Not bad. Like pocket full of kryptonite more though.

You mean jimmy olsens Blues

Yes actually, change of thought.

Diego Olivarez you are not alone!!

This song is too important. Video should be remade.

THIS IS THE INSIDE JOKE OF TEH CENTURY

I think I'm 10 MINUTES EARLY!!!!!

how could no one have liked this until now???

@Hidden Persuader GOOD I'm not the only one who gets the reference! thank you bro

Positivity!

What time is it? Dinner time!

actually we use this as a catch phrase at home xd

My friend does that all the time.

It's not as good, I wouldn't say it was terrible. Cleopatra's Cat is pretty good, many songs are quite funky even though "Pocket Full of Kryptonyte" is really awesome.

Hanson brought me here! (:

That's it. I'm watching one Spin Doctors video a day to maintain my positivity.

....time to listen to some good music

Nowadays, whenever somebody asks me for the time and I reply "430, it's not late, it's early, early" they have no idea what I'm talking about.

My kids totally would. They would sing along... I try to rain them in the classics. ;)

They failed the age test lol

Cause you forgot the “naw, naw,” before the it’s justa early early ...

I felt this .....

Aww man. Yeah, great memories.

And yes, it is always ADVENTURE TIME. (Love that show)

Good memories from the 90's eh??

ADVENTURE TIME!!!

they look so dutch

420! lol! 4:30 Ain't late!haha! Looks like "Spins" on u Einsteins!

shes paying them! let her make them $
