Some context: the song references North Sentinel Island, which is technically part of India's Andaman Islands, but is in effect a sovereign island under Indian protection whose residents - the Sentinelese - are known for violently resisting any attempts at outsider contact and are quite possibly the last truly uncontacted people on the planet. In the fall of 2018 some fucking missionary idiot by the name of John Chau attempted to visit the island in order to convert the Sentinelese to Christianity, but - surprise, surprise - he got his stupid ass killed in the process.

did i just miss the most important speech ever given by a human being, or not?
Best band ever.. dont tell ANYONE..
One of the wittiest songs in a long time. Damn this is such a great observational piece. I remember when that dude tried to go to the island and met his arrow filled fate..... One of my favorite songs ive ever listened to.
Those shrimp boy engineers sure did a good job with this one fellas.
Holy shit, this is a masterpiece.
Even tho this seems like a goofy kind of band when you listen to the Instruments and how they flow together you realise how professional this band actually is . Keep up the great work your show in Sydney was the best music event I have ever been to in my life <3
This must be a shareholder meeting at Speeddealer Shades Inc.
I came here from a comment on my video talking about how Sentinel Island could very likely avoid this entire Corona-chan outbreak without ever knowing it even occurred, and I'm pretty pleased to be brought here. Slappin' tune, yo.
V Boys can do no wrong. Keep up the rad work fellas. Get your asses to the states sometime.
this man sing with a soul i love this song
[Verse 1] I'm floatin’ down the river In my rubber canoe I brought you chicken dinners Blessed by Jesus and his crew I came here to show you (I came here to show you) My computer and my shoes (My computer and my shoes) But you shot me with an arrow (But you shot me with an arrow) That wasn't really cool (That wasn't really cool) [Chorus] I’m goin' to the island of the Sentinels I'll bring you lots of heroin and fentanyl They told me I'm not welcome, man, but what the hell? I hope somehow my death was a little bit meaningful Ah [Verse 2] Well, life here on the island They live a life of violence But once they read my Bible They'll know how to live like you and I do Wanna teach them how to party and teach them how to drive But they shot me up with arrows, now I think I'm gonna die I think I'm gonna die, man [Chorus] Goin' to the island of the Sentinels I’ll bring you lots of heroin and fentanyl They told me I’m not welcome, man, but what the hell? I hope somehow my death was a little bit meaningful [Outro] I'm goin’ to the island of the Sentinels I'm goin' to the island of the Sentinels I'll see you on the island of the Sentinels I’m goin' to the island of the Sentinels
the greatest band that will ever exist.
Quiet Village bass line. Brilliant.
shrimptech enterprises takes a company retreat to sentinel island
Wow another amazing song from VB's and what a real world story and legend that is Sentinel island.
Just found you guys today and I'm fucking amazed. Keep doing what your doing and don't fix what's not broken, they haven't made em like you since the mid 80's.
Such a great song and it deserves way more views
can't decide which song is the master piece
