[TheSchoolOfFool]

TARA STRONG IS FROM CANADA (TWILIGHT SPARKLE)

[Murry331]

Who the hell disliked this?? lol I LOVE this vid.

[HappyTheMan696]

Dont forget GORD DOWNIE!!!

[cherylhanson]

tonight you said it all for me, ed.  thank you...

[AsLongAsFiyeroIsMine]

One of my favorite BNL songs. The lyrics are amazing. I can't get enough of you guys. Love you so much.

[ChuckChickenLegs]

Catchy song, but the message is the bothers me. Ed is saying, "Hey terrorists, I'm really sorry I offended you. I didn't mean to make you mad" I don't know about you, but after a terrorist kills thousands of innocent people, I don't apologize to them. The message is weak.

[youCmeIcYOU]

@ChuckChickenLegs

Are you an idiot? Where in the song does he say anything about terrorists? haha you must be half a tard.

[TheSmokingArgus]

@ChuckChickenLegs

Hmm you would have to ask the NeoCons who purported to transmute America's Foreign Policy from that of the Founder's non-interventionism to that of the Straussian's Preemptive War Manifesto.

Bombing and overthrowing other nations for fifty-years might just create a few enemies along the way.

[wayamy27narf]

Does anyone else do that "ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhh" at 2:05?

[randalthor12345]

dude, Ed's guitar skills are unmatched by anyone i know of, this intro is insane, i could never play that

[5H4V3D89]

@randalthor12345 and sing it at the same time

[freak184]

I am trying g to learn the piano part to this song on the piano

[TheChantic]

@freak184 If you learn it can you give me the notes. so far I just have G lol

[doogieof89]

@TheChantic hey just a word of advice.... dont worry so much on the chord.. like a, d, etc.. just watch the video over and over and youll understand what hes doing.. ive only been playin guitar for not even a year and a half... did wonders for me!...ps.. first learn the shape then you can do hammer ons and such after

[adamgore1]

I love this song but it still made me cry the firsttime i heard it

[54spiritedwill54]

Very very nice!

[mikebtko]

this is a great song...

[doogieof89]

such fast accurate picking, unbelievable.

[jclmom]

My favorite BNL song, and that's saying something! You're right in thinking of the airport, but it's actually about 9/11. "Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture?" Now visualize the towers coming down and you can see the connection. I wish this was just me being terribly insightful, but Ed mentioned it on the BNL website.

Ed, my youngest son is getting a guitar for Christmas, and we both want to play like you when we grow up.

[ilikethewayyoumoo]

wow intersting observation This is my favorite BNL song too and i never picked up on the clues. But now u mentioned it. it does make sence

[gunthergreen]

As if maple syrup, Rush, hockey, lumber, maple leafs (the actual product of the tree, not the team), ginger ale, bacon (the round kind), Strange Brew, Moosehead, Moose, Don Cherry, Triumph, Dave Bidini,etc; weren't enough, we have you guys. Canada rules.

[HappyTheMan696]

@gunthergreen Dont forget GORD DOWNIE!!!

[sweaterbot]

OH NOOO!!! How embarrassing! ;o) hee hee. My goof, and thanks to Gajijiba for bringing that to my attention. Remember, I am just an Old Gal, and as my job exhausts me so thoroughly, I must use as my disclaimer that I have not been to many live concerts nor seen many videos, so was unaware of who exactly it was I was watching. *Blush blush* Still, excellent version, Sir Edward!!! ~~Kay

[TelecasterMaster1]

best song ever

[trufetes]

that was amazing!! thanks for posting, i enjoyed it a lot!

[trufetes]

By reading in wikipedia i've just noticed you're the actual singer, so hi Ed!

[sweaterbot]

I have to tell you, I absolutely LOVE your version of this grand song. More "Bathroom Sessions", please! :o) I heard this particular song whilst whiling away some rare spare hours in Barnes and Noble last year, and was influenced into purchasing the album. Yours is a wonderful acoustic version, and I dig your energy! ~~Kay

[Gajijiba]

hahahahah. while you're right in saying it's "his" version. technically it's just another version of something that is already his. I mean, that IS the ONE and ONLY Ed Robertson From the band Barenaked ladies :D he just did an awesome acoustic version of it =D

[thesithwithashotgun]

To be honest, I like the album version better. Ed just doesn't seem to capture the feel of the piano part with his guitar. Also, I do think an electric guitar is important to the feel of the last verse. I still like this version, but not as much as the album version.

[PatsyS3]

Brilliant Version of this Song,acoustic guitar sounds the Dogs Gonads......

Well excellent......

[CrimsonKitty]

oh beautiful guitar work. Great song. One of the best bands ever.

[nicole090976]

This is the only band who does so much for their fans, I have been a fan for 10 years, I'm hooked, but please come back to Australia we miss you!!

[solocard]

I love this song, especially the verse;

"Long lines, and warning signs.

Think of all the lives

saved by plastic knives

It's naive but we make believe,

We will never lose

if we remove our shoes"

[banez45]

I like this part one too but for some reason it reminds me of the air port..long lines and warning signs at the airport..all the food is served with plastic utensils (not sure about them saving lives)...the part about taking off your shoes. gotta take them off at the air port..I dont know the first time i heard that I thought of the airport...got any idea what it means?

[solocard]

They are talking about the airport. I believe they are poking fun at all the daft security measures being brought into place to help battle terrorism...

"We will never lose, if we remove our shoes" I think sums that up.

[canadiangirl85]

They've been my favorite band since 1991 (I was 6 haha), and their new albus never disappoint! I love this song, and I'm loving the bathroom sessions :)

[hippowinchest]

great job

one of my abosolute favourites

[micmic2424]

That picking is unbelievable!

great tune!

[swl523]

awesome song

[TheLegendaryGordon90]

YES!!! This is one of my favourites from the new album... great chords, great vocals, FANTASTIC lyrics...plus that feel of the acoustic guitar all alone, no other instrumental accompaniment, is awesome. Bravo to the band for such a long, successful career, and here's to the many years to come. Can't wait for the next album!!!!!!

[littleone918]

One of my favorites. :)

[hineox]

you got to put a none ecoi one on youtube

[omgitsLindsay]

My favourite song from the Barenaked Ladies Are Me album

[ciscospice]

"save me from a villanous imagination" - One of my favorite little bit of lyrics ever. This series of videos is simply wonderful.

[jinglebell06]

These vids are almost as good as a front row seat. It's fun trying to fill in the back up vocals.

[MonkeylessJohn]

How come you're not "Naked"

Seriously though, Awesome song !!!I've loved u guys since you played for us at Unilevers party a few years ago.

[KrozeGG]

Captain Butch Flowers does it again!

I seriously love this song and was hoping you would do a "Bathroom Session" of it.

Very very nice!

[acousticpeter1231]

wow

i love you
