The Beets (from "Doug")
 

This is a fictional band, but their sound is still so awesome and unique that I can't help but praise them on here. What's the deal with a band made up just for a cartoon show being better than half the modern rock and nu-metal junk that's so popular today?

Songs include "Killer Tofu," "I Need Mo' Allowance," and "Shout Your Lungs Out." The band members include Monroe Yoder and Chap Lipman (great name!)

What are your thoughts on them?

They rock.

^ For some reason I can never remember that song. The most obscure thing I can remember is that on the album cover "Beets Me" you can see a microscopic photo of Chap Lipman after his gall bladder surgery. Or at least I think that's what the question was.

I need to go watch Doug now. That show was so great.

Remeber the episode were Doug becomes a trendsetter?

haha is this serious?

No other band made yodeling cool before The Beets and no band will make yodeling as cool as The Beets did.

brings back memories

pure nostalgia, i think i spelled that right, but yes, i agree to praise the beets

ever since disney bought that show it has sucked, and i'll never ever see the old eps again :(

wheres my socks owned, i remember the ep, where he won the competition on the radio for saying, beats me. hehe. And i remember when they met the band in a diner.

the best song on doug was the one doug and skeeter made it was like..
bangin' on a trash can
drummin' on a street light..

^^ not sure if that's right..but that song kicked all sorts of *** ^^

I like them. I don't have any of their songs on my computer though.....

Yeah that's right pixiesfanyo. I think.....

Does Nickelodeon still play Doug?
Last time I heard they didn't, they just play reruns of Sponge-painfully stupid and so unfunny you'll throw up-pants.

EDIT: I don't remember 'Where's My Socks'........

EDIT: Hah, that's funny. They're made up and they really are better than a lot of very popular bands....

I watched a couple of episodes of Doug, but I can't remember any of the Beet's songs :upset:

Doug was a great show. The Beets were a great band, even though they were a cartoon. Funny how a fake band who was making fun of popular culture is actually alot better than it.

Now I've got Killer Tofu stuck in my head. :thumb:

I was talking to someone in school today about the Beets. :p A lot of the lyrics may have been silly and repetitive, but overall they rocked. "I need mo allowance, yodelayeeeeoooooo....why?! becuase I doooooo" :)

The Beet's Lyrics:

"I Need More Allowance"
I need more allowance, yodelayeoo
I need more allowance, yodelayeoo
I need more allowance, yodelayeoo
Why? Because I do
Yodelayeoo, I need more allowance
Yodelayeoo, I need more allowance...

I need to buy some CDs
I need to buy some gum
I mow the grass, I clean the house,
I think I deserve some...
some more allowance

(Repeat chorus twice)


"Shout Your Lungs Out"
Whoa, you gotta whistle
gotta rumble
gotta scream
You gotta scrumble
You gotta sho-o-o-ut your lungs out
You gotta hum
You gotta yum
gotta clap
You gotta roll
You gotta sho-o-o-ut your lungs out

You gotta roll your windows down
You gotta rock your socks, you gotta roll your soul, cause the vocal chords, you gotta lose control
(repeat)

Whoa, you gotta whistle
gotta rumble
gotta scream
You gotta scrumble
You gotta sho-o-o-ut your lungs out
(that's my favorite :) )


"Killer Tofu"
Fast food feels fuzzy
Cause it's made from stuff that's scuzzy
I always thought I was such a nerd, I refused to touch that strange bean curd
I wouldn't eat it, WOW!
But it ate you!

Aeeoo, killer tofu
Ooeeoo, killer tofu

I eat my sugar cereal
but it makes my teeth bacterial
Eayeeoh
eeayee
If you're feeling kind of cruddy
just stick right by your buddy
and don't eat, t-t-t-t-too much fried food, yeah

(Repeat chorus)

Those are some of the greatest words every written. (Not Sarcasm)

omfg, i forgot about that song. it's amazing! :eek:

You guys are awesome! You're cooler than Dylan Farnum.

Now that I think about it, were the Beets closer to punk than anything else? I don't know for sure.

Doug made playing the banjo sooooooo cool.

the beets always reminded me of the ramones

[QUOTE=RollerQueen]No other band made yodeling cool before The Beets and no band will make yodeling as cool as The Beets did.[/QUOTE]


wasnt that the principal

AAIIIIOOOOOOO KILLLER TOOOOFUUUUUUUUU!
the beets were great

I never heard them :upset:.

My childhood = suck.

*loves them, but feels incredibly stupid typing "The Beets" in Kazaa search*



EDIT: but it worked :thumb:

Wow...I remember those songs from a few years ago...

They were really catchy, and pretty darn good too...and they're on Kazaa? Wow

I don't remembe "Where's My Socks" either...but I remember the other three...:thumb:

[QUOTE=rancidkennedy138]wasnt that the principal[/QUOTE]
yeah, but I think he liked the beets too. I'm pretty sure he did a Beets cover in that episode when Doug and the principal got the tapes mixed up, so Doug got the principle's yodeling video, and the principle got Doug's song he made for Peggy.

man, I forgot about the Beets for a while. :)

^^^ haha i remember that one.


ain't disney a b[I]i[/I]tch..

I downloaded some of The Beets' songs, and have decided that my band will be forced to cover them.

hah, if someone can tab them, they should do that. hehe, then a whole generation of The Beets influenced bands can take over the [i]entire[/i] music scene, starting by mass coverings of their songs.

whoa where'd you download them?

dude, i LOVED the beets. they had to have had the catchiest songs ever written. why do I love animated bands? i miss gorillaz to.

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]whoa where'd you download them?[/QUOTE]
Off of iMesh. You could probably get it off of Kazaa or any other file sharing program. :)

"Patty is the ketchup on my HIC! fries/ Patty is the mayonnaise for me/ whoa whoa whoa!"

Also, the yodeling thing came after Doug reached a compromise with principal Bone that would allow the Beets to play at their school if Bone's yodeling group could open for them. The Beets saw the yodelers and decided to add "yodel-ay-de-hoo!" to the chorus of their song. Don't mess with me!

the beets were rad

Bangin on a trash can
Drummin on a streeet light
Strummin on my banjo
One little voice is calling me, calling me, calling me.
One little voice is calling me.

It's official: The Beets and Doug rocked.

It's bands like that, that managed to define a generation, which would be "The 90's old school Nick shows" generation.

the beets were awsome! i hate disney. they ruined doug.

i allready have killer tofu on my computer, i'm downloading some more.

i would love bass tabs for all of these songs :)

The Beets define Rock n' Roll!

The Beets were awsome. We need to all download there songs and start tabbing them. A Beets tribute album would be bitching.

well, technically they were a fake band...but still, the shows producers had someone come in and sing those lines, and that person must still be performing somewhere. YOu can find out who that guy is by just reading the Credits on a Doug show (or finding em on the net)

also try calling nick studios...hahaha..

I remember watching these shows during the younger years... ahhh... I still have those songs from the Beats stuck in my head.
