The Waterboys Dennis Hopper: Song You Need To Know
Frontman Mike Scott wastes no time jumping into the verses, accompanied by a clap-along beat and plenty of vocoder: “Dude with a ‘tache on a chariot chopper/Reb’ without a cause, man, what a showstopper/He was present at the birth of the teenybopper/Sucking on a psychedelic pink gobstopper.â€Then comes the country-tinged, Americana-style chorus. It’s all about cowboy hats, sharp suits, and the late Easy Rider actor’s iconic elan, which Scott has approximated of late with his customary cowboy-hippie attire.As the first comment on the music video reads, “Who knew you could rhyme so many words with Hopper?†The Waterboys do their damnedest to find all of them: flip-flopper, party-popper, proper, flat-topper, name-dropper, and, of course, hip-hopper.

They’re having fun and it shows.Find a playlist of all of our recent Songs You Need to Know selections on Spotify.
