Pinch Me

[TheBananamanAssassin]

This song seems to sum up my constant mood every single time I hear it.

[MissJemma1x]

they were on charmed and wen i got into charmed a couple of years and they were singing this song i loved it and had to look it up

[ArmadilloFish]

Oh man, this was my first Barenaked Ladies song! I heard my dad listening to it one hot California day, and I was hypnotized by it. I just love how this sounds, still one of my all-time favorite songs to this day.

[punky92tjr]

What tuning is this song in? Any ideas?

[TheOriginalBoarders]

@punky92tjr I think it's in regular tuning - there's some okay tabs on Ultimate Guitar. Nothing perfect, but close.

[wajabbie]

your a dick! i love you.

[lordblader29]

AMAZING

[meatballsk8r225]

hahahahah wtf i wasnt expecting this.. is this his youtube account?

[MrCopperhead1861]

@meatballsk8r225 Yep...

[doogieof89]

that harmonic is deadly.

[1974Qball]

LMAO awesome!

[jeffjohnsonce]

One Ed to rule them all, One Ed to find them,

One Ed to bring them all and in the darkness bind them!!

[afro20man]

LOL at all these bathroom vids...so many people think this is just some random dude and theyve never heard of bnl or they think its some guy covering bnl...oh man..

[eope111]

@afro20man Derp they've never heard of the Bare Naked Ladies and they're looking up their songs on YouTube. Yeah I listened to this band before like two people I know, I'm the ultimate fan and if anyone doesn't know the smallest thing about them, or hell what the vocalist even looks like I'm just going to act like an ass... oh man..

[daverkid18]

@eope111 You ain't got no thumbs up... oh man... U MAD BRO?

[xanfus]

FREE BIRD!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[RebelR15]

Under wear?

[huskerman15]

@RebelR15 It's a joke - the last line is "I could hide out under there," which lead some people to ask, "under where?" ... took me a few listens to get that line too.

[Applejacks106]

dude this is so good its almost like youre the one who wrote this!.... oh wait

[jmac34567]

I always play this song during Winter for the first part

[jenmurphy2002]

So this is what people do when they're coked up....sit in the bathroom and sing. Either way, it sounds good.

[BarenakedLadiesLive]

@jenmurphy2002 Ed never did coke. Steve did.

[andmcg1]

@BarenakedLadiesLive More specifically, Ed was never caught in possession of coke, Steve was. :P

[BarenakedLadiesLive]

@andmcg1 Yeah, but I DOUBT Ed ever did coke. He doesn't even drink.

[zandalear]

ive gotta say Im a young musician of 15 .And ive been writing music for about 4 months and i hope to some day be anywhere close to as talented as you

[ball6gunns]

good playing..and good voice......i love this song since so many years, ed you,re awsome...., a fan from montreal

[EveryTimeShred]

I love Ed's guitar playing

[stugasm]

3 people need to be pinched

[TheGydam]

Bathroom Sessions CD :))

[TheEema0927]

love this song!! :) He's such a great songwriter and musician :) Love ya Ed :) <3

[jas1234321]

haha, your probably the best lyricist ive seen in a very... very long time. your songs are awesome!

[dukedevil2014]

his ring finger doesnt leave the guitar until @2:17 amazing

[pxmobius]

Wish I had a guitar when I go...good job Ed!!!

[TopazStar67]

Ed, you rock. :) Love this song... one of my all time faves. :)

"Try to see the world beyond your front door..." :) Amen!

[jvanwag]

Wow! First, I'm amazed that you share your talent like this over the net. Second, I have always enjoyed this song and have added it to my performance list. It's nice to see exactly how it's done so I can replicate it closer to the original version. Thanks. You're a great guitarist and vocalist. I'm exited to perform this one tomorrow night.

[CrazeKillen]

i saw these guys this summer in ottowa for canada day :) maby one of their last performances :D </3

[sgtpetersen]

Good shit. Keep it up.

[CrazeKillen]

@sgtpetersen keep it up?.. thats ed.. the real sininger? :P nub

[sgtpetersen]

@CrazeKillen Really?!?!? Shut the front door!!! Your an idiot! I was in the moment, at the time, and I had to comment.

[CrazeKillen]

@sgtpetersen dont call me an idiot, i wasnt the one that put a retarded comment down.

[TheZeaf]

"I just made you say 'underwear'" Makes me laught every time.

[coloradoowns]

It's been a long time since I've heard this song. I figured I'd find a bit of nostalgia by listening to it... Turns out I've found a unseen respect for BNL. I was young when I listened to most of their music and it was good then, but awesome now. Time to buy some CDs.

[jrmhrpr]

The fact that he messes up and sings off makes me feel better about myself and my guitar playing. Good stuff my brotha!

[Alton753]

@jrmhrpr He... haha he doesnt sing off. That's Ed Robertson. He wrote the song :P

[gijerk619]

i would love to learn this song.. lol i cant get the damn rhythm in my head!! :P

[RandomMusicOutbursts]

i love your music!!! its amazing. i wish i could play guitar that good. i have been trying to play this song for 4 months and i still havent gotten it yet :/ but i write my own songs so playing someone else's is hard too. :)

[toughmeetsclassy]

You're fantastic bro. <3

[THEKIERANWELLANDSHOW]

amazing!especially when you came to Saint John NB

[nkyryry]

guy can seriously play guitar

[nessiemac7312007]

Oh How I Love you!!!! You were amazing in Halifax!!! Would pay any amount to see you all again!!!

[va13ere]

WOW

[Spiritedaway182]

"Trying to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, trying to see the world from beyond my frontdoor"

Who doesnt feel like they relate to these lyrics?

[Spiritedaway182]

I love both your voice and the way the bands lyrics play out through the Guitar.

"try to scream but it comes out as a yawn" Now thats what I call life. =/

[HalfwayxThere]

Last comment... lol

I'm kinda disappointed how he said "run through my gym shorts on" haha. I guess they save "no clothing on" or "my speedo on" for live shows eh? :)

[19Heights89]

yeah lolo

[HalfwayxThere]

Also am I just over-analyzing to take "it's colder than it looks outside" as an interpretation of human nature and the coldness/rudeness that some people have?

:P

[HalfwayxThere]

This is one of my favourite BNL songs :)

[DonTheTurtleDude]

please god.

tell me.

that im still asleap.

[nickster0007]

You guys are AWESOME!!! I just recently discovered you had these on YouTube. I have enjoyed watching them so much I just went to iTunes to buy your latest album! :-D

[ihatedcunited]

good shit bro.. u have a talent

[martinichellie]

I love this song! :) Thank you Ed!

[IJamesBarber]

imo best song ever

[LosPigg]

beyond your front door.

[derekw14]

I like this version better 4 this song.

[carbonpictures]

I like how he builds up frustration in the song- then releases it-

[xanfus]

this is even better with him just in the friggin bathroom. awesome.

[tiggerthepigger]

Will you guys perform at my graduation? its in ohio on june 5th.

I FRICKEN LOVE YOU!

[corndogmassacre]

does anyone know where i can get ACCURATE tabs for this song?

great cover btw.

[adashofSiren]

Great cover? This guy wrote this song. He is a member of Barenaked Ladies.

[70smuscle]

@adashofSiren some ppl are seriously retarded lol

[Raskolnikki]

that IS Ed Robertson. not someone doing a cover.

[VideoCreatorZac]

Pure awesome

[NowhereMan422]

Does anyone know what happened to the band? I know they were touring and then out of nowhere it isn't the same band anymore...=( What happened?

[DickNavis90]

They are still touring. I know they are going to be at Summerfest here soon.

[VideoCreatorZac]

same here i just heard about it today :(

[adrock77777777777777]

Steven Page, who is the other vocalist left the band. Something to do with their Manger and Record Label saying that he hasn't been pulling his weight in terms of song writing on the last couple albums. So he decided to leave. But Ed Robertson and Steven Page have always collaborated on song writing for 90% of all of BNL's songs. But with that said, Steven Page was the dominate singer on most of the tracks, but they definitely work so well together. It is a sad day in Canada :(

[AlexGould14]

ed wrote most of their singles... I don't know for sure but thats what I understood.. either way its a big loss

[AlexxThug]

he left cuz he was on drugs and the agreed that he should leave

[Atafect]

Not just Canada my friend.

[jamesgaspard]

Wonderful!

[amazingjeckelbrother]

i cant really tell is this fan based is is it really ed doing it? its like a an enigma inside of a puzzle hmm? oh and this is my favourite bnl song ever woot

[fab186]

That's actually Ed.

[guhqbpvqesofmo]

you really shouldn't drink from a hose, they usually contain carcinogenic materials

[VideoCreatorZac]

what doesnt kill u makes u stronger lol

[anaslata1976]

Whatever doesnt kill you may still bruise...

[melissacarreira]

I absolutely love your music. I have all of the BNL CDs. You are such a cutie. :)

[ThatOneGuy8904]

perfect.

[GenWoZhoAi]

Cool stuff. I can play this song too.

[19Heights89]

EDS UP! REPO MAN episode rocked man... You know what? I never knew that was your show i always flicked right passed it until i saw a commercial for it on comddey channel lol

Dope show tho i watch it all the time now :D

[Duanaces]

the fact that you have a lot of your songs on your own youtube page shows your more about the music instead of the money. If there were more bands like you... maybe I'd have more the BNL and Def Leppard CDs

[fkpho]

favorite BNL song

[z97]

Thank you Ed....this is very personal....lovely.

[landgeek]

I so love all the bathroom sessions. I adore Ed and all band. I hope the new stuff- "post Steven" comes out in bathroom format too. Keep em' coming Ed! Love ya!

[conormang]

Awesome! I loved this song already, but the solo acoustic version is amazing! Very cool Ed, very cool. New fan here!

-Conor

[dancedancerount]

this is amazing..im going to learn this song :)

[bemisuk]

one of my all time favourite songs - Ed is an amazing songwriter.

a massive inspiration.

hope some of what he does somehow gets into our work in Bemis.

Gareth (Bemis)

[charliec2695]

Great I subscribed

[ctrain100]

hello ed n shari here agian. we were wondering if you ever thought about coming to famous willams lake stampeed to play???????

[ctrain100]

hey ed ...ed here love your music. i play a bit too mostly around a camp fire. by the way love your show ed's up!!!!! mechanics helper here in williams lake bc. climbing the ladder. anyhow keep it up...ed n shari

[jkopas80]

i love barenaked ladies sad that they are broken up. :(

[CamdenShaw]

They Didn't break up, Steven Page quit. Which is still incredibly sad, but BNL will remain... Steven Page wrote a lot of their songs, so it might be a matter of time before the rest of the band splits up, but I hope they keep going!

[Ashadowman]

Great tune Ed ....

[geistofpolter]

This song made me fall in love with you guys <3!

Awesome!

[LDC454]

One of my favorite songs. I had all but forgotten about it until I found it on iTunes the other day. LOVE IT.

[C1andC2]

very gooooood

[Cledis04]

Great Song!!

BnL you are brilliant..

thanks much for posting.

[bayoubobby]

This is without question my favorite Barenaked Ladies song. I can listen to it 10 times in a row with not ever getting tired of it.

[mpaulino]

10 times? I spent 3 weeks listening to it. Granted, I took breaks for eating and sleeping, and occasionally school.

[senoirnoname]

amazing

[number1kearse]

dick not dich lol

[number1kearse]

it sounds like he says "suck my dich a while" but he really says "When you realize that a guy my size might take a while"

[cardshark87]

lol. u might have to suck my dick a while.

[whogottaflat]

very cool for that song to have grown from that very room and...well...the number of people who have been touched by it since that day...gotta make you feel good huh? thanks .. song reminds me of high school "wow" music works in funny ways...

[whogottaflat]

specially when I graduated in 91...humm when did the first album come out...like 92-93...dont know just brings me back to some early years...thx

[xoDANCERGURLLxo20]

i love this song!!! i started listening to this when i was in my dads car when i was like 2 or something!! i still do!!! last night, instead of Christmas music, we listened to BNL!!

[american3579]

wht the hell was with th message u sent me i dont no u

[Raskolnikki]

You're officially a band that can do no wrong, at least in my book.

Thanks for your music.

[HashibaVentura]

i have loved this song ever since i've heard it, its so chill and laid back, every time i have a crappy day, i turn this song on, and geez, it's my drug of choice, i would love it if he showed us maybe a "how to play"...hint hint....i want to play it so bad! i love it!

[Crush1998]

very consistent in similarity with chords....i love that man dave matthews does the same thing...awesome musicians

[american3579]

it is the same guy dumb ass

[Crush1998]

wow dude why do you have to insult i meant similarity between this and other songs with chords and dave does the same thing....next time ask me if your not sure...instead of making a smart remark and thinking you hot shit..i might have not been clear but it wasnt ignorance

[Tzason]

only 12k views!?? whats going on!?? anyways, AWESOME AWESOME song. one of my all time favies.

[nurulizzahhassim]

i am totally in love with this song..

they are so damna laid back. loved that attitude.. hehehe..

[Funnygirl335]

I love this song so much. I first heard it on "Charmed". Love 90s music. nice one :) xx

[MrHaveaniceday]

I'm the 12,000th viewer :/ if that's some kind of accomplishment.. Drop dead performance!! You totally rock in so many dimensions.

[thearrah]

yo, my music collection is probably 78% percent hip hop, but I have been all over this song since the video debut on MTV..what was that 10 yrs ago?..I actually like all your singles..ok..thats all..u guys rock..even to a hip hop head.

[willowthebored]

Oh, that's great! Nice one, Ed, the song and the editing skillz.

[whitedragon7]

You guys are awesome! This is my favorite song from you guys. The first time I heard this song when you made an appearance on "Charmed". Thank you, Ed!

[gotalittlecaptain]

awesome!

[dreaminglad]

that was cool !!

[greghughespdx]

Every time I hear this song it takes me back. Thanks, man. :)

[theTOOJ]

1:07, 2:08, and 3:26

"suck my dick a while"

hahahahahah nice edit. sneaky

[RandomBroProductionS]

omfg lmfao ur right

[Torikins0]

I don't hear it...

[Myspaceisiru5tyi]

Accually its "a guy my size might take a while"

[KenjiroHonda]

I don't hear it either... Not at 1:07 anyways, I haven't listened to 2:08 or 3:26... But I really don't think he would say it...

[daximus666]

it is obvious Ed is having a bit of fun with this song, but I really think he changed the lyric at 1:07.... again sounds like he said something dirty. ha!

Great job on these Bathroom session Ed!

[lizzielonglegs]

this is my fave bnl song! me and my mates walked down the high street screaming it. today i finally understood the lyric

"im gonna hide out under there.. i just made you say underwear"

I was lyk 2 my dad - OMG I GET IT!

ne way, - fantaaaastic!

[Brazdolph]

Does he ever answer any of the comments? If so, Ed...Gee...more videos...more..more...

[MattyPasta]

Ed, sounds like you slipped in a special lyric there. i was like...Did he say what i thought he said?!!! LOL - you are freakin hilarious!

[b2hill]

He sang 'change into some warmer clothes.'

I guess that can sound like 'women's clothes'... oh dear.

[vct33]

I wish BNL would put these "bathroom" recordings on Itunes.

[slimpicturesDOTcom]

Download the free demo version of IshowU (google it). The video won't look good, but the audio will be fine and you can then export it to QuickTime, then AIFF or MP3. It's easier than it sounds.

[canajian]

Ed.... Jeeesus man that sounded incredible!!@!!Thanks for posting this fantastic "Bathroom versions" They are friggin incredible!!!

Cheers from Ottawa......

[moeba777]

thanks for the bathroom sessions, Ed!!!

you´re as cool as a british chimp in the baaath

[rosewatt]

Oh man, that harmonic riff does funny things to my heart.

*rewatches*

Ohhhhh, yeah.

Brilliant as always, Ed, and one of my favourite songs :D

[Bekster103]

It plays with my heart like its a guitar itself. I LOVE IT!

[iggy880]

Great recording I like some of the newer bits you did in the last minute or so, watching it alone was fun and new

[pjuska01]

Different tuning?

[SoyAlberto]

it is in standard tunning

[stagermom]

These bathroom sessions are sooo great. Thank You for doing them. I love this song.

[Rhemora]

this is my favorite song of yours, heh I remember first hearing you on that will and grace episode you guys sung for, since then Ive been addicted :), keep up the good work and hope to see many more songs in your future

[nickoljay]

Love this song, Love You! Thanks Ed!

[accordiancole]

This is Great!!!! I love this song! But then again I love all your songs.^_^

[Kazzahdrane]

These videos have inspired to try learning the guitar again this summer. I started a few years back, and made some progress, but work and other things got in the way and I didn't have any songs I really wanted to learn. Now I have goals! I'd also really like a BNL guitar book, Ed!

[hoffmanj]

Ed, I love your Bathroom Sessions. They are a perfect example of how great BNL are to their fans.

I was wondering, casual guitarists like me can never hope to match your playing (after all, as you emphatically told us in San Francisco last fall, you beat Guitar Hero on Hard), but do you think you might ever release some kind of "Ed's Official Tips for Sounding Pretty Okay Playing Some Barenaked Ladies on your Acoustic Guitar"? That would be increds.

[bowler404465]

Man that was funny. The best part is he sound a lot like the lead singer from BNL, lol.

[wayamy27narf]

Uhhhhhh, dude, this IS the lead singer from BNL.

[mlkohs]

very nice, any chance you would buring Steve in and play Call And Answer?

[eenymeeny123]

Huzzah for wireless internet! I have just harmonized with Ed while I was cleaning my bathroom! (How was it for you, Ed?)Can't wait for your Manchester gig. Yes, the one in England.

[rockandrollqueen22]

My all time favorite classic bnl song. Sure would of

been cool to see Kevin popping in for the guitar solo!

A girl can dream, can't she?!? :)

[Myownhero18]

This song is one of my favorites. Someone who is better than me at the guitar tab out Ed's performance here and send it to me than I can play it anytime, which is what I want. Rock on Ed

[40incrisis]

I love you Ed

[charthebloo]

I <3 YOU!

...can I put in a request for When I Fall - Bathroom Style?! Thank you!

[sdmf5150]

Thanks for this, I've been trying to figure out how to play it.

Saw you guys at the Palace of Auburn Hills back in October. Gonna see you again June 15th at DTE. Can't wait

[joebob2406]

Wow. Thanks for this song. Its such a great one. Saw you guys in Charlottetown last summer. You rocked. Keep up the great posts.

[Quantrail]

If you play this song next month in Dublin I'll be throwing underwear at you. Front row of the seated section, baby - Ed side! =D

Was at the Barenaked for the Holidays concert so I can't wait to see you all again.

[northles]

can I request aluminum?

[AnnieCanada]

All your Lyrics are amazing.. but just really love these one...!  Love the flavour~

[cynicalwordsmith]

Gee, wishing we were close enough for undwear throwing-- but then that might be a bit odd

Cyber- underwear, a new trend!

[scrapgirl82]

Oh man, you're having fun with this one, eh? Good on ya, Ed! Thanks for sharing!

[bearznorthCATHY]

That a moustache you growin' there, Ed? Love this song!
