  • this is brilliant i love your music guys good job :D

  • Nataly would make a good Tinkerbell. I'm just saying

    

  • She shoots guns like she's playing with a squirt gun LOL

    FUNNY

  • Perspective! We has it!

    I wish I could be creative, but I just don't have it. Don't have the talent for it, don't have the energy for it, and don't have the spirit for it. But that's okay. Someone has to take the time to bask in all the brilliance around here.

  • 2:26 - "Try to make sense of the things that you sink"

  • This is terrible....RJ Mamula is far better than this hullabaloo.

  • @mamulafan4life You are kidding right? I looked up his music and it was just a selection of out of time, out of key drivel

  • @Bubbles7066 You need to get your ears checked out, friend! RJ Mamula is a sight for my sore eyes after witnessing this hornswoggled mess.

  • a book every 30 seconds.  unbelievable. So, cook books are creating book economy bubble. I have to believe that.

  • I love the silliness of Pomplamoose. The world should be more silly!

  • ok ok! ill go to work guys... man your makin' me feel quilty.

  • you remind me of disney.

  • Merry Christmas Pomplamoose, Ben Folds, And Nick Hornby

  • "I used to play magical nursery babies with my sister." Died laughing. LMAO!!

  • It's great to listen to this while walking in a beautiful park under the sunny sky

  • bless

  • your cat is very similar to mine

  • I used to be just like Charles Dickens. But then I took an arrow in the knee.

  • my name is Nick!!!!

  • 1:20 - Nick is a writer. The message isn't exactly that you should read a book instead of watching T.V. (though as a writer he probably wouldn't mind). It's that you should write one. Don't mindlessly consume. Produce. Be creative. Do something with your life. That's what I got anyway. ...Or live your life however you like. Fair enough, I s'pose.

  • @DavidAccola fair enough I s'pose. It is all good. We all try to make sense of everything. As long as we still attempt to try to make sense of what we think, there may be hope....

  • @DavidAccola Well written. Your thoughts on what this video is about is spot on. ((((Applause ensues))))

  • Lol, this is funny. he makes everyone sound lazy.

    It's really hot out side , cbf walking around the corner to the dairy..

    Nek minut..

  • Um is it just me or did Nick Hornby just say, "Our Universe consists of between 30-50 Billion Trillion stars" He may have gotten an A in English class but he certainly failed math class.

  • @BenitutuORstfu 30 billion trillion = (30 billion) trillions = 30,000,000,000 * 1,000,000,000,000 = 30*10^21. That's about right.

    People use phrases like "billion trillion" because things like "sextillion" and "septilliion" are even harder to comprehend. Few people deal with billions of anything, much less septillions.

    So.. Sounds like that A in English is helping him communicate what he learned from the math classes he passed.

  • @Tekarien Yea but he should know because he is an author he most likely knows that septi=seven in latin, and since 30 septillion is 30 billion trillion, then he probably should have used that. It will make him sound smarter and less complicate my thinking proccess on this. Just my view though.

  • @BenitutuORstfu (I replied to your last comment but deleted it when someone had already replied). I'll just say about this comment that most people don't know what septillion means.

    "Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood."

  • "I used to play magic nursery babies with my sister..." ?? XD

  • The guy in this (not Ben Folds) looks like Jayne from Firefly.

  • Sometimes I write songs, and I don't know what they mean. They are not linear. Just bits and pieces from random days. Besides I don't take things that seriously because I'm not in a position to make revelations to the world from my wisdom. I'm not even sure I spelled wisdom correctly. All I'm saying is that I like certain artist but won't let them climb on a pedestal to spread their wisdom to the idiots that worship them. Just thinking out loud, okay?

  • Okay Rufi, I can understand that, and I am willing to concede that there are other ways to see it. And only the person that wrote the song actually knows exactly what he meant. Also if I was being a jerk in my original comment, I apologize. It's just my nature. lol.

  • This song just washes over me...everything washes away....I decompress....and all is okay. : )

  • fair nuff i s'pose...

  • This is legendary. The Pomplamoose way, not Barney Stinson's.

  • I'm much more like Jack when I listen to Ben Folds. :)

  • Wow, I like that song... but geez, if I didn't feel the overbearing weight of pan-galactic insignificance before, I surely do now!

  • Try to make sense of the things that you think....

    Uh, what if I don't think things?

    What?

    Had enough I suppose.

    Don't drink and don't smoke. It makes sense.

  • DEAR GOD THANK YOU FOR THIS HOLY COLLABORATION OF AWESOMENESS (go ben folds and pomplamoose~! Yay nick hornby)

  • YES YES YES

    

  • I'm convinced if one built a web radiating from ben folds with the artists he's collaborated with, you'd stumble upon everything that is awesome.

  • @lilyenc I had hoped to say something worth reading, but you said it all. Thumbs up!

  • Really well put together, great work!

  • Why is this so good?

  • @creepy46 Don't forget to put your helmet on before you leave the house.

  • @goonigoogoo I meant it as a compliment, I'm a fan of both bands. It was more in the sense of "how can such greatness exist and yet be so unappreciated." Not in a " I don't understand why people think this so good" fashion.

  • 1:42 it reminds me of the beatles, and the drum break is a very ringo's style! love it!

  • The drum fills in this fill a place in my heart.

  • <3 <3 <3 ben folds :D this is cooleo

  • But I love my stupid little games...

  • Nick Hornby has a voice that sounds a lot like Neil Gaiman's. Just a weird observation. Great song :)

  • i want her shirt.

  • Such a Ben Folds fan! I'm so happy he put together his retrospective "The Best Imitation of Myself", I can't stop listening to it :)

  • I feel like this song was systematically designed to make you feel bad about your day -to-day life.

    ...and yet I still love it.

  • I played Power Rangers, Power Puff Girls, and Dexter's Laboratory with my little brother. Also, we sang a lot of theme songs. We still sort of do... they just tend to be from Avenue Q, the internet, Mulan, and Portal now.

  • @mintsauce713 Thank you!

  • There may be trillions of stars and galaxies or whatever, and sometimes I can't be bothered to go to the store for bread. I work everyday at a job that provides for my family and myself. Sometimes a person needs some time to play a stupid video game or something else just as insignificant. Some people don't have the luxury of sitting around all day trying to figure out catchy ways of saying that people are lazy. Still like Pomplemoose but I don't think even they can save this song. No offense.

  • @ovash1 I think what Hornby is saying here is that he is human, too. He's saying that he also gets caught up in day to day activities, though he wishes that he had more time to devote to his passions rather than to what he and most others one day realize are the most menial tasks involved with living. If anything, I think Nick Hornby is defending you, so maybe you don't really have to do that yourself.

  • Nataly...... I can dream of her <3

  • yes.

  • WONDERFUL!

  • okay, but she can - at times - look a lot like Ben Folds. All I'm saying is that it's weird that they chose two people who look alike - it's not Pomplamoose did a video with Terence Trent d'Arby

  • Why i cant see on ipad?:(

  • I love nataly's face when he talks about his sister.

  • BEN FOLDS... THE JUDGE ON THE SING-OFF? HAHA NO WAY! :D

  • Yes I am going to watch Mr. Hornby. I fail to see the difference between being told a story via printed text or via film. This whole "Reading a fiction book is better than watching a fictional movie or T.V. show" is elitist nonsense.

  • @Sabiancym pretty sure he's fine with that. see 1:22

  • KITTY!

  • Frank Zappa should sue haha j/k "So Smoke Your Little Smoke, and Drink Your Little Drink. While i Dance the NIGHT AWAY!!!!!" Imma Dancing Foooooooool.

  • I guess I'd never seen the resemblance between Jack and Ben Affleck - it's kinda there.

  • I love how Nick Hornby listens to The National.

  • Comment removed

  • jack's falsetto face makes me so happy

  • Triple Awesomeness Galore!

  • jesus god.... holy bajebus.....

  • What? What?? WHAT?!?

  • Just because I live in Sweden I can't buy their album.... This made me sad. Then I realize I can't buy your stuff either. Yeah....

  • That was so amazing! You guy are great and Nick Hornby! Nick Hornby! He's an absolutely fantastic writer and "About A Boy is my favorite book!

  • Ahh, simple. Simply beautiful....

  • My one shot at immortality was spent watching youtube................... time well spent I say.

  • i wish i could more then like and favorite this video

  • @xkoelbe couldn't have said it better!

  • Ben Affleck looks AWESOME with a beard!

  • @JohnMan59 I... what?

  • @jmridingred C'mon. Use that brain God gave you....I mean, look at the guy standing next to Ben...singing.

    Is it not the best imitation of Ben Affleck with a beard. Just look. That's all I said. Sorry it taxed yer dern brain!

  • I love Ben Folds, I love Pomplamoose, and Nick Hornby are all awesome. Together, it's epic win! I could have sworn that I heard this song on a commercial. I probably did, but it is awesome every time I hear it.

  • I love Pomplamoose and Ben Folds, but I don't care for Hornby. What, to him, makes reading so objectively better than watching TV? Television is a much faster way to transfer information.

  • @uiop60 It could be because watching television is a completely passive and, often times, mind-numbing pseudo-activity. Rarely does a TV make us question or probe an issue as in depth as a book does.

  • i love ben folds

  • Wish I was a jellyfish :Turritopsis nutricula

  • this is kinda my favourite song right now...

    

  • Kind of like this, but being an avid non smoker, the part about a little smoke had better be smoked beef...lol

  • How does this not have more views. UNF it's so beautiful.

  • what does he mean at the end by "that was pretty sailor"?

  • 1:10 There are a lot of books and if you watch TV instead of reading them, fuck you - Nick Hornby

  • Great work all of you guys! Loving it! What a great show to see all of you together. Who needs the five when you have these dynamos!

  • play this while watching watch?NR=1&v=L8cCPH1qnYI on mute; extremely awesome

  • @krizstyle It's absolutely eerie how well that syncs up...

  • OH MY GOD!!! I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I just woke up. I can't believe this! OH MY GOD!! Soooooooo GOOOOOODDDD. Congrats on the great job!

  • pew pew pew

  • r e s p e c t !

  • Play video

    Press 9

    ???

    PROFIT.

  • NATALY

    Y U SO ADORABLE?!

  • Okay I feel small now. Happy? ;)

  • Where did you find Ben Folds?

  • So much heart

  • I hate iTunes. They're such code Nazis, I half-expect their next slogan to be, "Heil, Apfel!"

    PLEASE post your stuff on audiolunchbox, napster, or some other site that doesn't use MP4.

  • Nick Hornby is such a legend (*≗*)

  • 210 people have no clue about what music is...

    If you can watch/listen to this videosong and not have a smile in your face at the end, you are certainly not human!

  • SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

  • bum bum bum bum bum bum

  • Great combination.Ben Folds and Pomplamoose go together like cookies and milk!

  • I just broke the arm of my office chair trying to drum along to mr. Folds. Totally worth it.

  • @sabbathmcfreely Yeah dude i realized that then commented. Thx again

  • Could anyone write what Nick Hornby says? I can't get some words. Thanks

  • @mozdra You can Google the lyrics. The one on SongMeanings is accurate, I think. Cheers!

  • what a wonderful collaboration this is--so well matched. not sure why it's taken so long for me to learn of you guys (a bay area musician myself), actually got tipped off to you by family back in maine. late to the party, but glad to have arrived. socks charmed clean off my feet by what you're doing. you seem like you'd be awesome dinner guests, too. and i bet you'd bring a fun dish to share. like dancing pork chops or some such. best regards from a new fan, dave

  • 210 people are deaf and angry they can't enjoy these fine musicians.

  • These are all the people I wouldn't expect to be in the same video :L

  • "thats not going in the video!" ... hahahahahahahaha

  • I find this to be real wholesome; just cause it's true simplicity.

  • I swear, as soon as I get a real job I'm buying every song you guys have! (If I can find them not on iTunes, that is.) I love everything you guys do!

    Um, do you need an animator? No? darn.

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BEN FOLDS

  • Loved this.

  • Smoke your little smoke, drink your little drink. Try to make sense of the things that you think. Haha Love it. Its stuck in my head

  • you guys hang out with ben folds?????? dammjnnnn

  • Ben Folds, Nick FUCKING Hornby and Pomplamose all together in the same video. What!?

    And to top it all off, the dude air-cocked a bazooka like it was a shotgun. Pure win.

  • @cormano64 By dude you mean Jack fucking Conte, yeaaaaah!!

  • @cormano64 yeah she is called pomplagoose because of this. Wait...

  • Sounds like an Apple commercial .

  • From the left, she really look like Maggy Gilleenhall (Rachel Dawes on the dark knight)

  • why are all of ben folds videos blocked in germany :( :( i really think i would like him

  • @MsMiepsi : I'm so sorry. I know very few people who don't like him so I'm certain you would.

  • @MsMiepsi Ich hab das gleiche Problem :( Ganz Scheiße

  • wow, at the begging he describes exactly what I had done today...

  • omg Ben Folds is a legend.. i love him

    you guys are so lucky!!

  • He didn't mean literal immortality. I think he meant more like being immortalized in his work, being remembered.

  • 1:58-2:14 evolution? hahah I don't think so. just my opinion tho.

  • Why would you want immortality if it's at the expense of another?

  • More edited than any other Pomplamousse video

  • I've been a big Ben Folds fan for a long time and I discovered Pomplamoose this MORNING. Is this a dream?

  • Wish I could get this song here in the Philippines!

  • they seem happy and like they really have fun together (pomplamoose, that is)

  • you guys are so amazing!

  • Oh ya Nick Hornby, well I have a little fact for you! I... *Goes back to jerking off*

  • I fuckin love Ben Folds

  • it must to be such an honor to work with ben folds...

  • @bbrittanyyful Ben Folds is lucky Nick Hornby is working with him.

  • Gave me chills. Excellent!

  • What do they mean with 'you got pretty sailor on that one?'

  • @TVisionVideo jack was dancing behind the piano and to ben it looked like a sailor dance xP

  • @TVisionVideo Check out 2:26 - 2:28 where Jack had has arm like across his chest, thats what he meant. like a sailor. lol

  • @TVisionVideo I was going to ask what the 'sailor' reference was about myself, but I was afraid of appearing unhip and uncool. LOL. Maybe it means really getting into something. (?)

  • This is so great.

  • you need a haircut :]

  • So now Ben Folds has worked on songs with both Regina Spektor AND Pomplamoose? Who is he and why does he get to meet my most favoritest musiqe peoples!? No fairs... Also, I kinda want his hat.

  • <3

    

  • Every time Nataly does an 'angel' chorus in a song, I get goosebumps.

  • AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!! You guys rock!

  • idk how you guys managed to collab with Ben Folds, but then again, w/ how amazing you are, it probably shouldn't be too much of a surprise lol ^_^

  • This video supports my theory that the world is just teeming with awesome people :)

    *favorite*

  • What on God's green earth is "Magic Nursery Babies?" I'd think it sounded a little strange if it weren't for the fact that it came out of Jack Conte's mouth, and we all know Jack makes the things he says sound just that much cooler. :]

  • Why does "smoke your little smoke, drink your little drink" sound so familiar? Is that from Alice in Wonderland?

  • love, love, love this video.....standing up drumming! ha!

    Ben Folds rocks.....really...creative.

  • she's hot

  • does Nick sound pretentious to anyone?

  • they're amazing!!

  • Awesome. This one should be at verydemotivational ^^

  • muy bueno

  • CANT. STOP. CLICKING. REPLAY.

  • You took my cat Jasper T.T

  • just,.. just wow.

  • Make it available on mobile... Thumbs down for now.

  • @dazzmand he reminds me of ben affleck. :o)
