This is an unreleased track called “Hampshirefields” by The Decemberists off their unreleased album “Musket Sea Family.”  Only one out of three of those things actually exists.

    I keep read sites that talk about creating great websites or making an extra income, and seeing your information is encouraging, because it is not so easy as they say it is..

    Man, someone really needs to lite the Decemberists on fire.

  8. Wait... Says:

    Okay, I like the Decemberists a lot.

    But I’m a little confused here…is he just trying to imitate Colin Meloy’s voice, or is he making fun of their songs.

    I’m not going to flip out because of either. I just don’t understand.

    Personally, I dislike Cody, but that’s my opinion. And I have the right to state it, as you have the right to state yours. It kinda bugs me how someone (or myself) will read a Cracked article, Cody or not, dislike it, and choose to voice that opinion, only to inevitably have three or four people say things along the lines of: “If you don’t like it, don’t watch it or comment on it! Fucking noob! Get off the comment section!”

    First off…I watch all new material posted on the site. How am I to know whether I’ll like it or not until I watch it?
    Secondly, if I have something relevant to say, I’ll put it in the comment section. That’s what the comment section is for: CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. Not just people who love it, not just people who hate it, but both, for the sake of intelligent discussion.

    So to all commenters who dislike negative comments, I have just one thing to say to you: If you don’t like it, then don’t read it!

    @ Tek Dollar Sign

    I’m with you 100%.

  11. skoodge80 Says:

    I don’t get why all these people hate your stuff so much. I thought this was really funny.

  12. sleeepy2 Says:

    Dear Mr. Cody,
    Grand Fucking Slam.
    Love,
    Sleeepy2

  13. Mr. Stinkerdoodl Says:

    Holy crap this shit sucks.

    Tekdollarsign, you are right on the money with your astute comment. Cody is a motherfucking boring bastard whose existence serves only to waste the time of those of us with fucking lives.

    This sonofabitch is going to end up getting us all killed. Sensible people absolutely must fight back!

    Also, I’m gay. Just thought you kind folks would like to know.

  14. Ryan Says:

    That was the most incredible thing I’ve heard in my life.

  15. bearbaiter Says:

    I like the Decemberists a lot, and this is great.

  16. grrl Says:

    i fucking love the decemberists, and if you put this on one of my playlists, i wouldn’t start giggling, but i wouldn’t know why. some fan, eh?

    anyway, this is absolutely amazing. do more. i love it. do coldplay!

  17. Will Says:

    I thought it was funny. Poor Cody, people are such dicks to him.

  18. All the Guns Says:

    This is some funny shit.

    Also that babe has buck teeth.

  19. acidedgeuk Says:

    Brilliant! Love the quirky stuff.

    As for the first two comments, get a life. If you do not loke it, then don’t watch/read/listen, simple as. If we all did what you did for every column or article we didn’t like then there would be none left on the site, sad gits.

  20. Scott Says:

    Man I love your stuff. A bunch of jerkwads below don’t realise that dick jokes and one liners aren’t the only way to be funny.

    You are freaking random and trippy which is how I liek my comedy.

    Gook Stuff

  21. MrGrunge Says:

    Excellent. I’m not sure why there’s so much animosity towards you, I think your articles/videos are great. Don’t take it too personally. For most people on this site, unless there is a constant stream of dick jokes, they tend to bitch.

  22. Cincy Joe Says:

    This is hilarious! I’ve had a blast coming up with fake decemberists song titles for years. Glad to see we’ve got a real fake song now!!

  23. TekDollarSignSucks Says:

    I agree with everyone who hates Tek Dollar Sign. I used to live with him, and he’s really stingy with his weed. Also, his actual name is “Franklin Picarle.”

  24. yup Says:

    tekdollarsign, calm the fuck down. just because he insulted your favorite band dosen’t justify leaving that long of a comment. and this guys stuff is bad at the moment, but after a while it’s gonna get better.

    go away cody!

  27. tekdollarsign Says:

    As someone who is very familiar with the Decembarists[sic] I have to say this new columnist really missed the mark. It’s nothing like some of their songs. The fact that cracked let this no talent, seal fucker post on their site make me start to loose faith in the whole idea of transient comedy websites.

    If cracked would only make a poll, like a voting system. Something they can’t rig. Paper ballots, yeah! We mail them in. They would be votes to vote Cody off of cracked.

    mail all paper votes to:
    Who’sCody?IHateHim!
    P.O. box 5535530
    Anahiem, NY 134%7

    I’ll just hold on to the votes for now. Yeah, king of votes. The sweet ass king of votes! And I’ll crush shitty columnists like “Dr” Mister Cody.

    WHAT ARE YOU A DOCTER[sic] OF CODY? Too afraid to tell us?

    Oh, I know! your a docter[sic] of boring the fucking crap out of me.

    You are boring and not funny. You are physically small and that makes you less than. No matter what you post, no matter what sacred cow you slaughter next, I promise you this: I will not laugh once at your dumb shit!

    you are garbage, I mean, you are a non person. A hollow shell filled only with the lonely sounds of stolen Simpsons’ jokes (seasons 3-9.5)

    There is no hope for you. 2 Days we’ve let this shit stay up.

    WE’LL[sic] COME ON INTERNET! Lets rise up and tear down one Dr. Mister Cody. King for two days!

    You better hope you die of natural causes before I get a hold of you!

    on the plus side though, that voice was hilareus[sic]

  28. What the fuck? Says:

    I think I just found the brown noise (the one that makes you shit your pants) but I just dont know if it is due to;

    1. The very, very, VERY terrible song.

    2. This fucking guy who, and I cant understand why the fuck he would appear on here as a “comedy columnist”, really should have thought of his material before suddenly showing up and trying (poorly) to make people laugh. I dont even think he has made a joke and if he has then I need to be shot because I used to laugh at anything humourous.

    Now I know that critics are hated by everyone, and mostly because they cant create their own shit but it needs to come out…

    I think im gonna go for option 2
