Calpernia, Henrietta and Merna Can't Sing - Go Tell It On the Mountain

[winkydee]

Get out your crucifixes 'cause I'm about to play this backwards!

[psychomajic666]

Women give themselves to God, when the Devil wants nothing more to do with them.

[YouvebenMessmer]

Calpernia Hun this was a great laugh and I enjoyed this even though it was very hard to listen to the horiable singing

[MamboDogFaceOne]

Playing and vacant expression = priceless...

[TheStephenanfield]

Where are they now?

[rebeccarogg]

i love the transitions...

[RobertitoF1]

You really add something to this video. I think it's a woman playing violin in the background.

[essdearr]

hahaha

[LannaDru]

How many grams of lead did you all have to ingest in order to prepare for this fabulous performance? And how pure was it? (II'M JOKING!:)).

[bjnichs03]

I love this video. I love CalperniaAddams. I love Christmas! And satansauce.

[RobynTg71]

You really saved that video Calpernia...

I don't think Andre Rieu could have done any better...... :D

[redearthdoom]

LOL this is totally awesome!

[Keruaran]

Well... what can I say but... ROFL

[TheLaksjdhfg123]

who are they??

[okieboho]

holy shit, and what's bad is that i've been obsessed with the original video for years and just today! i find this! you make me so happy girlie!

[alfyakuza]

Your awesome hairdo and top remind me of one of the Korean band members from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

[Greenkai3000]

Miss Cali, this is just wrong... You playing your violin in the background is just HILARIOUS. We first saw the original video on here, and though...OK that was sad, and then we saw you on here and you had me and my bf ROFLOAO

[timothyj1966]

this has brought so much Christmas Joy to my heart.... can't stop watching.... I hope they do another Carol soon...with some fingernails scratching chalkboards... be a nice touch... sleighbells are so over rated... nice job ladies. Good times!

[lesliejs]

lol! great job Calpernia!

[thelobsterjesus]

This shit is hilarious. I love you.

[bad4sure]

THIS IS THE BEST COMMERCIAL FOR METH USE IVE EVER SEEN

[nathanwri69]

henrietta and merna are the two worst names i have ever heard

[kaufrauscherin]

brilliant shit. :-)

[abraxasbrother]

The two golden moments are when Calpernia starts a bit earlier at  0:50; and at the end, when Calpernia is just a floating torso.

[randyanglin]

ok...Calpernia....don't know who you are, but I'm a FAN after seeing this video....lol.

[alspence]

this is brilliant.

[alspence]

@alspence by the way, this enhances the original in a way I didn't think possible. well done!

[soizic29]

Calpernia, despite not knowing how to play ANY musical instrument at all, I can nevertheless appreciate the difficulty of having to veer violently between 10-12 key changes at unpredictable intervals, and look good while doing so. Bravo!

[evolon88]

Dear Calpernia, WE LOVE YOU. Thank you for helping them along. They so desperately need a "third" in the equation.

[NewsLynne]

This is art!

[bereaguy]

this is most amazing

[stevengargoyle]

[ArizonaDelRio]

[cmhgmc]

[pacjanet]

[atomichawg]

Hot. So Hot. That was very strange but funny.

[keefmeister77]

This is great. It's almost like having John Cale in the band. I mean that as a compliment.

[nathanielgfunk3]

[funkychicky111]

Calpernia you're so funny, if I could meet one celebrity performer it would be you

[EggSprout]

[paco799]

I totally couldn't stop thinking about this at the bar and had to watch it before bed!!! This is geniusly funny- BRAVO!!!

[SexVampireBite]

[angry1278]

This is one of the most horrifying things I've seen in a long time.

[dangerfeel]

calpernia. reminds me of to kill a mockingbird. the green screen is just good enough to pull of the illusion but i love the edge of their profiles...the best.

[EltBerserker]

HAHAHHAHA

[UniQueLyEviL]

LOL I laughed at this before...but I *JUST* got it. I'd never seen the other videos of their TERRIBLE singing before tonight XDDD

[TrayShelleDinkins]

A wee bit frightening but in a completely hilarious way. Love your hairstyle BTW.

[darkwitchtori]

The old one is HOTT!

[c64c64c64]

shockingly awesome. all we need now is a bit of dancing from a mentally handicapped kid

[mp2lon]

Maybe the woman on the right is dancing.

[EltBerserker]

Hey! Merna isn't retarded, she's just... special.

Yes I am living in denial.

[zefallafez]

Your violin playing is an abomination.

[CalperniaAddams]

Thanks for contributing! LOL FOAD

[SadieDammit]

Wow, Calpernia! That sounds SERIOUS! You'd better get your violin playing right with God and the masses, by golly!

[jwj2xx4]

@zefallafez a competent individual would recognize the editing, the quality of the original video, and the purpose of the added "abominable" violin part.

[glvdtxn]

@zefallafez On the contrary, Calpernia's contribution actually adds emotion to the performance.

[MasterJediDude]

@zefallafez I think it was intentional...

[fabienporay]

i think you're pretty cool

[RijenRijen]

hahaha

[bananafix]

[chad5161]

[CalperniaAddams]

I added myself into some old video from a public access cable TV channel. They are just some random people on an old weird show.

[eleanorroosevelt1]

This is terrific.

[amginena]

Words fail. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe! Having heard you play for real, and knowing how good you are, was it hard to ...erm... match... H&M's "key"?

This was the best Christmas present ever!

[NicholeDreams]

I laughed, I cried, The started to shine through the rain. Now I need to fix these cracked windows.

ROFL

Merry Xmas!

OH MY GOD! That really gave me a good laugh. Merry Christmas Calpernia!

[SashaM]

[drbpony]

Hahaha! At 1:23, it looks like Henrietta is giving you a filthy look for ruining her song. At least they have a reason to be pissed off now!

[DaZeD871]

Oh wow so this is one of those cases where it's so bad it's good :]

[winterwinwin]

HAHAHAHAHAAHHA!!!!! Much love, Callie.

[RolandDeschain1]

Bwahahahaha!!!

Classic.

[SwingingFromBirches]

Calpernia, thank you for the smile. I still have more than one of my fondest memories being of you playing the fiddle. I am spending yet another holiday alone, yet there have been a few occasions that you have made me feel more at peace with that and felt solace.

It actually brought me Christmas with the memories of holidays spent far away from home and with friends. I remember how we stood silent and enjoyed the music and felt less alone somehow.

[CalperniaAddams]

Thank you, hon! I was playing terribly here on purpose, backing up Henrietta and Merna Nudorf, but I do love to play Christmas songs during this season "for real". =)

[SwingingFromBirches]

Oh, I FULLY understood that, but I remember the haunting, yet beautiful fiddle playing in Nashville as making my friends and I feel less alone during the holidays waaaay back. I still appreciate your tongue-in-cheek sarcasm to this day. I also have fond memories of having been blessed by being a gay man that was feeling lonely at the time and having an amazing person with a heart the size of Alaska giving us a virtual group hug and saying we are loved as well... You made me feel my family then.

[mainman666]

LOL you said for real's Awesome Calpernia

I So want to tell it on the Mountain. I am a

snake handler and ill die a snake handler =Moe Szyslak Simpsons 9F01

[Gerrypappa]

Mery christmas Calpernia!!!!

[SmileOnADog]

I love this and the Ren and Stimpy shirt is the icing on the cake.

[mhtothee]

Love the enthusiasm!

Merry Christmas, Calpernia!

[KatGirl74]

OMFG! That was hilarious! Thank you Calpernia! I loved you expression it fit so well.

Kathryn

[carsonrader]

Thank you for making me snort beer through my nose.

[LindsayStone]

OMG I love it... I've seen so many bad cable shows like this back in Alabama... keep rocking Cali

[marly100]

Merry Christmas and have a happier new year!

[TaylorRama]

Hahahahaha!! I love you!

[justplainerica]

Happy Holidays and Blessed Be... :)

[nin514]

Woot. Merry xmas Calpernia.

[syntaur]

I think the fiddle player in the back and in the middle should do a Diana Ross and the Supremes thing with the two women in front... singing???:) And strike out on her own for Hollywood and show business. I mean to me... and I am not some big city talent scout... but that fiddle player seems so past her singers she is supporting with her fiddle playing... IMO:) But seriously... don't you think someone should probably check Henretta and Merna's drinking water at their house:)

[woodsmoke]

LOL! This is a sliver of an Ozark Mountain Christmas with the family. I'm missing out on it this year and I'm not sure if I really regret it or not. Happy Holidays.

[biguy21]

wow merry christmas calpernia

[nightshade4and4roses]

Lol...

[TSeeEss]

i liked it! :D yay ladies!

[EniesLobby]

Merna looks a little shy. Maybe it's for the best.

[QueenOfTheBlogs]

omg!

In my area we have a Gospel channel where they sing, and the film it just like this!

lmfao

And They Just Stand there, and can't sing for anything, just like these two women are!

hahaha

Merry Christmas Callie!

xoxo

[RiotAndAnger]

omg!jqkllajfaljfajafja This made my whole night.

I freaking love you!

[quinthe1st]

Happy Holidays!

[maryyellen]

Merna is not very into the singing. Merry Christmas!

[gb42760ad1972]

That was hysterical, Calpernia! The one on the right was barely singing. Which is probably just as well. lol Merry Xmas, Cal. Peace, George.

[DaisyWasHere2]

Merry Christmas Calpernia!
