Steam Powered Giraffe - Rex Marksley Lyrics






Rex Marksley
Finest marksman in the west
Rex Marksley
When it came to gun slinging, he was the best

Rex Marksley, at an younger age,
shot holes in cans without a-missin'
sadly they were in the pantry
so beans painted the whole darn kitchen

His parents then let him shoot
the empty cans out on their fence
but Rex trick-shot out all the nails
so out the fence all their cows went

His father cried

Rex Marksley
Finest marksman in the west
Rex Marksley
When it came to gun slinging, he was the best

Rex Marksley was a tinkerer
an engineer extraordinaire
He made quick-reloading gadgets
so he could fire non-stop with panache and flare

He became a gun for hire
and a hero wherever he roamed
he disarmed forty bandits one time
with two gunshots all on his own

Rex Marksley
Finest marksman in the west
Rex Marksley
When it came to gun slinging, he was the best

He had heart and a righteous stand
and they tell of his stories across the land

He jammed the guns that fired his way
by shooting bullets into their barrels, they say

He shot lightning from his hands with a miraculous invention,
and zapped that evil demon train back to its own dimension

That giant copper ore golem, oh it was a fright,
till Rex projectiled pick axes with dynamite

He fought the corrupt Rattlesnake King and it hissed in agony,
then Rex taught all the jackalopes to yodel in harmony

Here we go now!

Rex Marksley rode across the West bringing justice to the land
He tamed enormous vultures, reined and flew them with one hand

All the women blushed and fainted when Rex winked his eye
and the bad guys always fell to their demise

The man was a legend and hero through and through
and Rex was a friend to the battered and the bruised

He had seen a lot of wonderments in his glory days
and he died an old man alone on the prairie, they say

Rex Marksley
Finest marksman in the west
Rex Marksley
When it came to gun slinging, he was best

Yeehaw, yeehaw
Yehaw!
Bang bang!

  1. R.... K....

    This sing just made my day!!! Love you all:))

  2. M.... M....

    This brings the biggest smile on my face. “Sadly they were in the pantry so beans painted the whole darn kitchen” gets me everytime. And also, David is a very handsome cowboy.

  3. S.... P....

    I want to live on a ranch with Rex where we raise yodeling jackelopes....

  4. J.... H....

    Ok hear me out, a cinematic universe of all of the heroes they've created and throughout the whole adventure SPG is just running after them trying to make a song out of it

  5. m.... ....

    This song is always in my brain thanks david, you handsome man

  6. c.... b....

    We need a Rex Marksley movie and book series ASAP.

  7. F.... ....

    I never realised how much David is just *leg* until now

  8. J.... T....

    Pretty sure both Rex Marxley and Captain Albert Alexander could be made into some pretty amazing action/adventure movies with the right kind of vision and passion for the craft coupled with a decent budget.

  9. T.... B....

    Their harmonies reminds me of the Sons of the Pioneers & this song really proves it!! I love this group!

  10. T.... ....

    The rope in the title looks like a 2. I was excited to listen "Rex Marksley 2"!

  11. A.... ....

    Hey, you stole my life story! Heh...

  12. L.... t....

    The new red dead redemption game looks great

  13. C.... W....

    Imagine not knowing they would be filming and seeing this guy with a metal hand walking around and pointing a gun at random things.

  14. H.... C....

    You know this would make an interesting origin story of the term marksmen

  15. T.... ....

    A giant copper ore golem... You guys play Dwarf Fortress aren't you ?

  16. a.... h....

    *_NO ONE'S MENTIONING THE FACT THAT THEY SAID "YEEHAW YEEHAW-"_*

  17. S.... ....

    Rex Marksley vs. Vash the Stampede for ultimate pacifist gunslinger?

  18. C.... C....

    0:16

    "Yep, that's a hill alright.

    "Time to die, nature."

  19. S.... O....

    Spine take the human face off that's offensive
    God how would you like it if we put on robot faces

  20. G.... V....

    Guys, he is probably the “big iron” son or grandson. It fits perfectly.

  21. A.... R....

    I literally have the biggest ear to ear grin every time I watch this video. I love it so much. Love the art, love the song, and I love David's goofiness! <3

  22. A.... C....

    This is the most appropriate use of what I'm 90% sure is Arizona-

  23. P.... G....

    In red dead redemption 2 my character almost looks like The spine. No I can make Rex Marxly. Thank you spg

  24. 8.... ....

    I would love to watch a show with his adventures

  25. J.... ....

    What I'm getting from this, is that a child was the worlds greatest marksman, and as he grew up, he built shit, made a speed loading revolver, a lightning flinging gauntlet, and had a robo-horse.

  26. H.... H....

    Ok, I can see that a lot of people are commenting about Spine. But my question is who did the bass singing for the chorus. It's amazing and I want to have that vocal range.

    H.... H....

    Hippie Hobo Rabbit, the pretty girlie :)

  27. E.... F....

    This is a typical DnD character.

    CHANGE MY MIND

  28. M.... K....

    The line about the demon train from another dimension gives me a strong 'The Dark Tower' vibe. Maybe you guys are Stephen King fans? Or is it just a coincidence?

  29. A.... F....

    Rex Marksley needs to play Red Dead Redemption 2.

  30. S.... ....

    Me: I hate country music. It’s so cringy.
    Also me: REEEEEEEEX MARKSLEYYYYY!!!!

  31. B.... ....

    Even Hatchworth is an artist too? Why does this band have so much talent within just 3 people???!! Rabbit draws extremely well, and here I find out another one does as well. Where's my talent?!!

  32. B.... J....

    What a story, I love it 💙

  33. J.... P....

    When is the movie coming out? This need to be a film!

  34. n.... n....

    Omg i am in love with this band thanks to my fiance Michael. Love you guys!

  35. S.... S....

    Good human make-up, Spine. Just work on the walk

  36. E.... B....

    You magnificent dork <3

  37. j.... t....

    I get a Tex Ritter vibe from this song.

  38. L.... ....

    Great! -Can I marry him now?-

  39. D.... F....

    Great song and some very nice animations/drawings.

  40. W.... G....

    Am I the only one who ships Rex Marksley and Captain A. A? Yeah? Is that weird? Yeah? Okay, I'll just go...

  41. B.... H....

    I need a rex marksley comic. Now.

  42. P.... ....

    Anybody know the location for filning?

  43. p.... ....

    This gave me life! 😂❤️

  44. K.... S....

    I suppose somebody should teach you how to touch a horse... Mr. Marksley..

  45. T.... B....

    can someone please make this into a video game

  46. D.... P....

    I love how this video is 40% David just being a cute

    D.... P....

    40% David being cute.
    50% David being David.
    10% David not sure What to do so he improves.

  47. T.... L....

    Beware, those 50 dislikes Rex is coming for you.

  48. S.... H....

    I love u but I'll wait until I'm 20 years old to merry

    S.... H....

    I'm 16 years old I love hugs

    S.... H....

    Does that make sence?

  49. S.... H....

    U are so beautiful David Michael Bennett.

  50. T.... S....

    He's wearing a chef shirt

  51. J.... B....

    My step-dads name is Rex so this is his theme song

  52. D.... J....

    This honestly begs the question though.

    How the hell did Rex or his descendents end up meeting with an alien and eventually end up bringing Ravaxis Starburner into being?

    Since he's confirmed to be a descendent of Rex Marksley's.

  53. I.... ....

    Rex Marksley vs Captain Albert Alexander

  54. K.... P....

    Hagsworth is a good artist, and Spine's acting are decent. Wonder what type of skill Zero has ...

  55. G.... ....

    0:42 "His father cried"

  56. g.... s....

    I love how Bunny and David are twins so when I watch this video I cannot tell whom is singing because this is when Bunny has a deeper voice

  57. P.... M....

    *takes out gun* *does nothing with it* *puts it back*

  58. S.... M....

    I want bloopers

    S.... M....

    Sunshine And Peppermint Tea this entire video is bloopers

  59. E.... C....

    Oh, don't cry the Jon, its just a story , a REAL story

  60. L.... B....

    Omfg this would be perfect in fallout new vegas

  61. h.... ....

    Help, I've fallen for another fictional character and I choose not to get up. 💕

  62. J.... T....

    It's High Noon

  63. K.... D....

    is it high noon?

  64. M.... R....

    I still can't get over how funny the name is

  65. B.... S....

    Who's this David person everyone keeps talking about. That is clearly Rex Marksley, the gunslinger Colonel Walter modeled the spine after.

  66. U.... ....

    He reminds me so much of Ray Palmer (or Brandon Routh if you prefer) in this.

  67. d.... M....

    i want this to be a game,

  68. I.... A....

    I low key miss when The Jon acted as Rex Marksley

  69. A.... ....

    I keep thinking he's a Courier in Fallout New Vegas

  70. D.... ....

    Rattle-rattle, rattle-rattle-rattle, rattle RATTLESNAKE KI-IIING~

  71. W.... F....

    I want to see a TV show about Rex Marksley!!!😁😁😁

  72. u.... ....

    head canon: captain albert alexander is rex's son. inspired by his father rex, albert took his love of the sea and turned it into an adveturous life dedicated to helping all life, animal and human much like rex did with the jackalopes. that's why rex would die alone on the prarie like the legends say, cause his son had sadly passed in the ocean.

  73. C.... A....

    Watching a man pretending to be a cowboy in HD?
    Best decision ever.

    C.... A....

    A STEAMPUNK Cowboy at that.

  74. G.... ....

    Too bad he didn't have kids to carry on his legacy...

  75. B.... ....

    You can tell David had fun with this one.

  76. A.... B....

    Now looking better, Rex Marksley looks like a more badass Percy No Mercy, from Critical Role. Lighting gloves, gadgets and firearms, you know ;3

  77. j.... ....

    Oh man, there needs to be a television series about the "Adventures of Rex Marksley". I would watch the hell outta that!

  78. F.... N....

    This should be in Fallout

  79. h.... b....

    So wait why did it look like he hung himself?!? Ummm dark much?

  80. S.... R....

    What am I doing here the fandom died 2 years ago

  81. �.... ....

    Does anyone else find it funny Rex Marksley's parents would refer to him as the 'finest marksman in the west'?

  82. S.... N....

    This is just awesome! Davids faces all the way through are gorgeous! I mean... its damn cool! But kinda awkward I'm laughing all the time xD

  83. G.... ....

    I would like to make a fangame about Rex Marksley based on this song. Wanted to ask SPG before making it. I wont be selling it, I just want to get permission before going ahead with it and using this song in the game itself. It'll be made using Fallout 1/Fallout 2 styled graphics and will essentially be Western Steam Punk.

  84. t.... ....

    its HIGH NOON

  85. N.... J....

    why have I never seen this ;-; this video is so nice <3

  86. e.... 3....

    Rex Marksley in a team with captain Albert Alexander shooting bandits and sailing the seas
    0o0

  87. S.... E....

    We need an ultimate team up of Rex Marksley, Captain Albert Alexander, and Salgexicon.

  88. Z.... P....

    Watch out for that road apple,Marksley.

    Z.... P....

    Dang road apples

  89. S.... ....

    Just discovered you guys (and gal!). Your voices are beautiful 😭

  90. K.... P....

    Every time I hear this song, it makes me more determined to write a script for an actual TV Series of 'Rex Marksley' as part of my university degree. (I'm majoring in Screen, Cinema and Sound.)

    It wouldn't be something I'd make money off because copyright is a thing for a good reason but damn, I really just want to see a TV show of Rex have this as like the intro/outro.

  91. M.... T....

    The only appropriate way to end a song is "yee-haw, bang-bang" from now on.

  92. H.... ....

    David should star in a Firefly spinoff.

  93. V.... M....

    "Okay Spine, this obsession of yours has gone TOO FAR" Rabbit probably

  94. A.... c....

    Iron horse! I saw it you can't trick me! Rex marksley is the iron horseman

    A.... c....

    Horse??? Nah dude, thats a steam punk baby giraffe

  95. S.... ....

    4:50
    Dis here is a horse.

  96. M.... C....

    omg This song lol Love it.

    M.... C....

    I've been within the "US" fandom since August, but yes >.>

  97. J.... A....

    Can i just say, I love Sam's art

  98. C.... ....

    I would easily buy one of those gloves. They're amazing.

    C.... ....

    ChaoticEntity right there with you, and a pair of bunny's googles

  99. L.... H....

    Does anyone notice that he huNG HIMSELF FROM THE CEILING‽

  100. m.... ....

    m.... ....

    I, too, am not straight and I fully support your comment.

    m.... ....

    I'm incredibly gay and am so glad I'm not the only one.

    m.... ....
