  • Oh my god she's picking her nose.

  • I love you Ani.

  • That was delightful! And the look on that little kids face, "whaa?" Priceless.

  • I love this song. Ani Difranco, you are my hero.

  • thank you so much for uploading this!!!! i had never seen it!

  • That guy's trying to kill me! Oh wait, no they came to stripmine..strip mind?

  • Haha, I love this song, but the video is kind of stupid :-p but cute anyway.

  • i love ani D

    how come i can pick my friends, but not my enemies!

    I fight with love and I laugh with rage!

  • if you're gonna drink the haterade, at least mix in some sugar

    y'all are about as sad as perez hilton

  • lol you're right XD

  • She's trying to change the things that cause us to have so many emotional problems in this country.

    Namely, people who guilt, judge, and otherwise stress other people.

    Reducing that would affect change more than reforming our government to perfection.

  • @jadendawn

    I'm guessing that being aborted is quite stressful, but luckily it never happened to me.

  • really? this what you talk about in response to this video?

    A song about change, true change, social change.

  • Because shes Ani fucking Difranco and she can fo what she wants to do.

  • I love you. XD

  • Um, that's not what the song is about - listen to the words!

  • because the social norm expects you not to. if you do it then you may change societal views.

  • why not?

  • Who CARES if she's on drugs, Mr. Difranco is my fucking hero.

  • actually, she is a pot smoker.

    "let's talk some reefer madness like some arrogant government can by any stretch of the imagination outlaw a plant. their supposed authority over nature is a dream. come on people, we've got to come clean. i'm trying to evolve."

  • I can't believe I met this beautiful woman. She's absolutely amazing.

  • Ani always makes me feel so good about myself. I would love to hang out with her. Since 1990 she's been my idol and my inspiration. She's basically my only motivation to get me off this couch.

  • i fucking luv ani difranco! this song rox!

  • FYI, she does not do drugs, never has and never will. perhaps she prefers less ignorance, you might want to try to research before you share wrong information

  • well..she does smoke alot of pot. lol

  • no the only drug she's ever used are cigarettes and alchohol

  • You haven't ever watched her DVD have you? The woman is a smoker.

  • Watch her DVD and look it up not only has she smoked pot but she supports it's legalization. Ever heard Evolve?

  • i love her so much. :D

  • Is that Ani in the video?

  • Yes, it's Ani herself <3

  • Comment removed

  • I love Ani, have for years I guess It's about being who you really are and not a plastic person!!! I don't think plastic people even know who they are so here's a clue, people that have no morals that believe physical beauty and popularity is all that matters in life, people who base their world off TV and moviestars people who sell themselves as sluts, people that are sore if they get dumped by a man they had no right to in the first place, & bashing other's shows the world how petty they are.

  • This is gross and great!

  • She is def an artist. This video is low budget, but awesome! Good Tune as well!

  • It's montreal... that's in canada still. Trivia Note - the guy begging looks like that famous animator who has a doc on him in montreal film fest this week - ryan larkin - "Spare Change" - he was always outside Schwartz's.

  • Damn, look at the trash on the ground!

    Is this in Buffalo or NYC?

  • Powerfrau mit anspruchsvollen Texten und Superstimme - tolles Lied, macht gute Laune!

  • I love Ani to bits. She's got such a strong personality. This video and song are fantastic, they send a brilliant message of being yourself despite peer pressure, and that is what young woment need to hear most these days. In a society which readily accepts the exploitation of women in music videos, it's fantastic to see someone standing up and showing it for what it is; wrong and degrading.

  • Ani is so cool. Even when she is picking her nose.

  • She is my all time favorite artist. She has such an awesome voice and lyrics, and everything else:D

    I fucking love Ani.

  • I'm pickin' my nose right now! :p

  • she's so silly!..luv it

  • Her voice is so awesome!

    If I could have any singing voice, it would be one like hers.

  • I don't think Ani really sings well. She just puts alot of attitude behind a sing song voice.

  • how come i can pick my ears and not my nose? who made up that rule anyway???

  • LOL

    The sign says:

    Slip it to live. Which means if u pick ur nose u'll die. rofl

  • omg this makes me smile =D

  • i love her! *-*

  • This video always makes me smile.

  • wow

    this lady is awesome

  • She should work with this director more often. Feels real so they must have had some chemistry. Better than the usual pompous art videos. Refreshingly organic. Like pickin yer nose.

  • Can't beat a good bogie ! Of snot interest to y'all might be Dick and Dom and their game bogies - if you don't kno what it is I shall tell you no more - check out the comic relief version with Rupert Grint (the ginger one from Harry Potter) which is rather amusing Ta Ta for now Ani fans She is magnificent don't ya think

  • i love picking my nose.

  • You and I both. =D

  • That was Soooooo coool... .. I walk(ride my bike)_ down this street At least Once A week... It hasnt changet much in 15 years WOW!!!! I think ani was born in MTL... n'est pas? LOVE IT!!!

  • right on !!!!!!!!

  • Yeah, this video is genuine and real, just like Ani herself.

  • What a time capsule! Yes, it was entirely random...

    The Nils poster is bittersweet: RIP Alex Soria.

    This video was made by Lynn Kamm.

  • Apparently the director Lynne Kamm lived in Montreal, that's why it was filmed there. I heard she directed another video for Ani's song Blood in the Boardroom and Pick Yer Nose was made on a whim with leftover film stock.

  • Of interest to Ani fans... This low-budget music video features Ani skipping down Boulevard Saint-Laurent (a.k.a. "The Main") in Montréal, Québec, Canada. You'll notice a poster of local punk band The Nils at the end. None of the people in it are extras, just your average Montrealers...

  • Thanx 4 the info! xD

  • i love this. I love her. =]

  • what a random video!!! I don't think these people know that they were gonna be in it!

  • its not fair that only kids can act like total crazy crackheads and just be themselves, adults should get to once in awhile too, it relieves a lot of stress.

    not that this is what that is, this is just good plain fun being kooky, and its nice to see an upbeat song :)

  • Everytime I go to a concert I request this song! Next time I walk down the street, I hope I see someone picking their nose...just because they got a boogie in it. Why not?

  • I think this is my favorite DiFranco song of all. As much as I dig her emotionally darker stuff like "Grey" and "Dilate," I love how she's capable of also being this upbeat with her music.

  • Comment removed

  • you wanna get the crud beat out of you don't you

  • Ani is more interesting walking down a street than any MTV performer in their million-dollar videos. Thanks for posting this! I had never seen the video and it's perfectly Ani!

  • she is lovely <3 , my fav!!! ^^

  • she is real cute, i like what she has to say! :-)

  • i love her voice

  • Did you know that people who pick and eat their snot are actually healthier than people who don't. Something about eating the bacteria and building up a better immune system... Sorry this was in relation to the person who watches Ani's stuff then disses her, makes you wonder why people even bother commenting right!

  • i hd a teacher who had a boyfriend,who...ate things that were expired and had this freakin awesome immune system,and after she did the same she has the same immune system! its the same idea behind getting shots.research it.

  • I'd like to try that.

    Wouldn't you get sick at first, though?

  • not if it was gradual enough.

  • You might, but what the hell, eat the sick too, and save a fortune on food bills.

  • That's why Tiger Woods has all those BOGIES, and the reason why he's now immune to being beaten!!!

  • Ooooooooh I don't think anyone is immune to jokes this bad! XD

  • Perhaps your right, but it's not too late for just one more corny one /\ see the word above. How did that get there?

  • good song :) i was lucky enough to have discovered ani in 94!! be jealous =P

  • That's a real young Ani, she must be 19? or 20?

  • funny song, good singing!!!!

  • :D i like it lol

  • Ani is an artist and a great one at that.

  • i like

  • Ani Difranco Doesn't give a Fuck.

  • And excuse me for admiring Ani Difranco and not fiona apple. Seeming as Ani Difranco overcame her hardships and made a life for herself when she was young, and Fiona Apple attempted suicide many times, and had to see a therapist most of her life to get out of her depression. Also, John Mayer, he also sings about himself. But really? i never would have guessed that's what artists do.

  • that;s a little insenstive don't u think. Fiona apple was a victim of rape at a really young age i think she was like twelve.. i don't think ani had to deal with anything like that.... besides Fiona's artistry is or instrumental than anything else her music is mad dynamic and her voice is amazing

  • if you're talking about my comment, i know it's harsh..i just was infuriated by that idiot woodensaw. sorry to have upset you. (i know what fiona went through when she was little, and you're right, it was very jerky of me. I actually wanted to delete the comment, i just couldn't) sorryif that made you upset. (also, down below i mentioned that i do like her. so, it wasn't because i hate her or anything.) just venting.

  • oh lol i understand, your opinion is your opinion i just had o say something cause i don't think its fair to compare the two.

  • I LOVE ANI!! she is always herself, and doesn't care what people think!!

    this is my favorite video..it makes me smile:]

  • Am I reading this right or are you insulting someone based on a song you obviously don't understand? Oh, you also spelled nose wrong just to let you know. "Pick Yer Nose" isn't about actually picking your nose, it's about freedom and living how you want. She's using that line as a way to say "Fuck what everyone says, do what you believe."

  • Dude, I'll make you a promise: I'll read more mythology, and you take a course on how to take a joke. You're a preacher, and it still doesn't change the fact that Ani's lyrics are puerile, and great fiction is erudite.

    Peace out, homeschool!

  • I'm astounded that I even have to explain this to someone though I suppose when you are high off of your own intelligence, then I see how it can come about.

  • Now, please stop being an arrogant jackass and read a God damn fictional book. Who knows, maybe it will bring some symbolism into that pompous head of yours.

  • Dude, I'll make you a promise: I'll read more mythology, and you take a course on how to take a joke. You're a preacher, and it still doesn't change the fact that Ani's lyrics are puerile, and great fiction is erudite.

    Peace out, homeschool!

  • You're complaining to me about being a preacher? Tell me, what the hell have you been doing on the past three Ani Videos I've watched and seen your name on the comments? All you do is preach about your Ani hatred. I'm just standing up to you because no one else seems to really in the mood to do so.

  • Also, if being an asshole for no particular reason is your way of making a joke then you need the comedy lessons. At least when Colbert is an asshole he is funny, you're just pathetic. I don't care that you dislike Ani. Everyone is entitled to their opinions though being a dumbass to everyone who likes her shows how much more puerile you are. So, calling someone more childish than you while acting rather childish is called being a hypocrite.

  • Ya digging me? Don't watch Ani videos if you hate her so much.Oh as a side note, don't call people that have a bad impression of you homeschool; makes them hate you even more than before.

  • I'm going to catalogue the words you've been using, alright, homeschool?: hate, preacher, hatred, standing up to you, mood, childish, asshole, pathetic, dumbass. This is my survey of you. Sad, isn't it? You still have said why Ani's music is worth listening to (I have said why the opposite is true), and you obviously think you have what it takes to be a big shot like me. I forgive you.

  • Oh? and what about your "femin-lesbo" commentary on other videos? Please, at least I am not a homophobe and hate feminism. In fact, I am a feminist though not the stereotypical kind. You probably will think I am considering that's the kind of thought process you have provided for me.

  • You forgive me? Doesn't that statement alone prove how pompous you are? It's obvious you think that by being here and complaining to us that you will somehow impact our "childish" minds. Why would you be here otherwise? You have this great survey on me though have you even considered how much you really matter to Ani Fans? You are just another kid with a street light pole up their ass.

  • I don't complain on Fiona Videos and I respect people for liking her, she has her good moments. I actually own an album of hers though prefer Ani. Besides, you are the one calling me Homeschool. Wouldn't that be an "ignorant" word as well? Please, you are so filled with contradiction it's actually rather funny.

  • It's actually quite funny how you like fiona apple and respect her, yet are so riled up over Ani Difranco. Hmm, let's think logically for a second here. What are fiona apple's lyrics about? Oh yes, herself and her relationships. I like fiona apple, so this is nothing against her.

  • Ani is one of the really few artists who are always themselves and don't wear a mask or act, that's what makes her GREAT

  • oh you know you want to though

  • Ha Ha Ha Ha!

  • maybe she was high...on pure joy.

    respect ani.

  • lots of people, actually... :)

  • who in their right mind would compare ani to shakira

  • ew, I know right? :/ Ani rocks!!

  • dont you dare compare ani difranco to shakira...

  • i dont like shakira either, ani difranco is way better than she is. but i still think her voice sounds like shakiras.

  • gosh, shes such an amazing person! this video really makes me happy :D

    *favorited*

  • her voice is like shakiras :O

    <333

  • lol she's mad! no wonder her music causes me to crank it up to full volume and dance down the street with my ipod. I  f***ing love Ani DiFranco, my favourite musician of all time without question.

  • nice message in the song and a simple but effective vid to go with it cool thanks for that

  • Boogers shouldn't be retained in the nasal cavity any longer than necessary. Credit Ani for being streetsmart.

  • I love this song! BUT this video is fucking annoying! I would smack someone if they ever did this walking down the street!

  • i'm not sure how anyone can call ani hackneyed or cliche, really. you don't have to like her music, but goodness. LOL you can't deny she's got an amazing voice and - IMHO - amazing lyrics.

  • and you would know this obviously, because you buy her albums? she doesn't get a lot of broadcast, dude, so you're either spending a lot of time with an ani fan, or ... i don't know what. my main question is, what's your problem? why do you want to pick a fight? oh, wait, i think i know why: you don't have anything better to do!

  • i love ani,, how could u not! amazing woman!

  • i wonder what that tall guy says to ani (02.30)

  • I love her : )) she is just such little happy soul : ))

  • i saw her play a few years ago, almost cried. haha. what an extrodinary woman.

  • thanks for posting this dave!

  • my bff babysits 4 ani

  • My uncle is her manager. Isn't Petah so cute?

  • eeeek LUCCKKKYYY aw shes talented and i love how down to earth she seems! not many people like that...most artists are very money hungry...they dont do it cause they love too

  • o man..people r ignornt when it comes to free thinking i swear

  • On this song her voice is about as annoying as the title. I tell my daughter not to pick her nose, because she might make it bleed. Still, it's a free country, kinda...Hell, if you want to pick yer nose go ahead. This is just silly.

  • If it's not your "cup of tea" why did you feel the need to comment? Also, you may wanna listen to the lyrics. You may think it's stupid but she is very innovative and has a great message... apparently you missed that and the ignorance and narrow-mindedness of people like you is what's making this country "kinda free". Oh, and studies have proven that kids picking their noses actually improve the immune system.

  • lol...So because I think the message is infantile, I don't understand? Give me a break. I get what she's saying, the whole plight of the female bit, but I just think it's a little contrived and stupid. I'll post where I please, thanks...Delete it if you like. I'm sure the owner would oblige you.

  • ani difranco is a liar and a charletan.

  • what do you base that comment on?

  • how so?

  • how so? From what I know about her - and I know a lot - she is one of the most ethical people I have ever heard of - particularly when it comes to people who are in the music industry and have lots of money

  • did you listen to the song?

    "how come I can pick my enemies and not my friends".

    Pick my ears and not my nose is just showing confusion with rules.

  • did YOU listen to the song?... "how come i can pick my friends but not my enemies"

  • this song is actually not about 'the plight of the woman'. it's about being yourself regardless of how unacceptable anyone else might think it is - I think the video is great because she's just being herself - not trying to look or act like anyone or even give a big message - she's just being her

  • not what i meant..i meant the comment about the song being infantile was ignorant and peopel dont understand free thinking

  • well if u dont get the song then dont listen..apparantly u didnt really listen to it anyways

  • I get it fine...

  • Let's just quote the song here... "if you like it, let it be, if you don't please do the same" ...let it be man...

  • The Beatles said it first...My point exactly.

  • your point? why post that you t
