1 Million YouTube Views
Watch the controversial video HERE
New York, NY - September 24, 2010 - Howard and David Bellamy of theBellamy Brothers may have ruffled a few feathers with their new controversial video “Jalapeños” but there’s no denying that the project’s viral success is a force to be reckoned with as the YouTube sensation recently barreled past 1 million user views.
"I am truly amazed we have had over a million hits on the lowest budget video we have ever done... and all in such a short period of time” marvels Howard Bellamy. “Our timing was perfect for today's political environment."
The low budget video, shot in a sleepy middle-Texas cantina, is laced with politically charged humor and preaches the message:
“Life ain’t nothing like a bowl of cherries, there’s too little laughter, too much sorrow. It’s more like a jar of jalapeños. Cause what you do and say today, won’t go away and stay, it’ll just come back to burn your ____ (explicit) tomorrow”
“Jalapeños” has received both support and criticism across the board from its YouTube viewers.
- l giterdonedj says “It's great having good music to give us all a pause to take a deep breath in this day when the inmates are running the asylum.”
- l PalemoonSun says “Amusing, these guys claim to be hippies but are more Republican than Bush. I guess this is just another movement that the GOP is hijacking to call their own. Funny how there was not 1 single problem in the world until on January 20th, 2009.”
- l 73drew says “Perfect song for these times....and I'm a homosexual white boy Methodist! Thanks Bellamy Brothers for another great song. Pass me the cherries please?”
- l misterbnia says “Um...what has Obama done regarding gun control...NOTHING! I'm sick of rednecks crying about guns.”
- l funkdaddyken says “Saw you on Fox News, and just had to be part of the FIRST million viewers! This is a HOOT! Just shows music is still one of the best ways of communicating a great message. Keep it up Bellamy Brothers!”
Look for “Jalapeños” on the upcoming October 5, 2010 release of Bellamy Brothers Anthology Volume 2. The Bellamy Brothers are celebrating their 35th anniversary as entertainers this year.
