Crash Test Dummies: Keep a Lid on Things (album version)

[JoeBRocks56]

another great Canuck band

[bunnylover987]

Who dug a whole in the out house...?

[Starbackermec]

Who put the Obama in the White House?

[MaverickBeastV]

He sounds like Duke Nukem.



[rachbell555]

you guys are on fire

[lurch321]

Seems that the majority think that Give Yourself A Hand is the Dummies' worst album of their career. Can't comment on that, since I never heard the album, but I think this song is MUCH better than MMM MMM MMM MMM, at least.

[69adrummer]

Who put the black in the White House?!

[mustangfan1995]

@69adrummer ha ha nice..

[Suspiria10]

Does anyone know if this song was on soundtrack to a movie? Cable Guy?

[appelsenoranjes]

@Suspiria10 Mod Squad (the movie, not the TV series)

[Bohopeacenik]

I remember the first time I heard this song and realized that the one guy was singing both parts and I found that disappointing. We saw them when I was too young to really remember, but the whole hypnotic factor they had going for them was the unique blend of the vocals. This was where they lost that.

[TheMegaBuddy]

hey! come sing with me! tell me how u think i did on my cover of "the psychic"!

/watch?v=AzXBYOuFKmY

[m00ph00]

this is the album where ctd started to go downhill, imo. a worm's life was their last good album

[TheStoneHavenProject]

Perfect band. God i wish they would make a huge come back and take over radio. I love crash test dummies. probably the most under rated band of all time.

[Shalek]

I love this video.

[Browncoat56]

dicipline

[leonleon177]

2:23 LOL SCOOTERS

[vincefasan]

i have been looking for this song for ever so funny

[maretajean]

dont try it keeep the LID on ok????

[ChesterDeLaPoof]

208 people didn't put whitey in the White House. Should have kept a lid on things...

[Shalek]

This song is pretty weird. I like it.

[Fringedweller33]

Ha! This video reminds me of Kurt Vonneguts Timequake xD Makes me wonder if that book inspired the video. Thumbs up and lols all around.

[CosmicUndeadElf]

The singer sounds like Duke Nukem, am I right?

[someonelse06]

Heard this song for the first time driving home from out of state in the middle of a snow/ice storm... it gave the whole event a pretty out-of-this-world feeling. Love this song!

[RTVHellendoorn]

mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

[RTVHellendoorn]

mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm

[sithren]

This song sucks. CTD worst band ever.

[Kanderson1127]

@sithren Gonna have to disagree wtih you. Not sure why your even watching the video if you dont like the band.... and I skimmed through your favorites, and ofcourse you dont like crash test dummies. Seems kind of stupid for you to make such redundant comments.

[panthervoodoo]

who put whitey in the white house- classic.

[B3eau16]

This song used to scare the crap out of me -.-

[BenZeneProject]

10 out of 76,539 watchers of this video are totally retarded. Replay & thumbs this up.

[TheMate01]

he looks javier Bardem.

[womble16]

This Band Should Of Got So Much More Fame...

[trailbill93]

love this shit, im going to see these guys next thurs. in vermont!!

[SuperPyst]

Who put your mom in the whorehouse? You did baby you did,

[trailbill93]

CTD=BADASS

[rickspicsphoto]

who put your sister in the cat house??? You did Babe!!!!!!

[nitramh24]

Wasn't there another version of this music video when it was first released..?

[maretajean]

why did u did????

[gab14710]

@maretajean Yes, why did you did? :)

[Ohana808808]

Quite the sound. Love it

[flashypaws]

best ctd song ever.

[KickAssPsychoChick]

I like this song, but Brad Roberts looks like Brendan Fraser with his haircut. And this strangely reminds me of Willy Wonka, but the bad movie of Willy Wonka with Johnny Depp in it.

[MadCloon]

@shitcharles: lol I was telling my wife I did the same thing yesterday.

[ketchupdespot]

You did babahya

[shitcharles]

This song takes me straight back to being 13 and taping this off the radio...

[MichaelMorbius4ever]

You did babeh!

[PETERREGEC]

the worst song ever..

[Pseudologic]

@PETERREGEC right, now run along and listen to adam lambert

[gmangeo]

@PETERREGEC If you think that, you've listened to very few songs in your life.

[partingbead]

well thanks for posting this. I dl and store it in my song folder, another freebie! this song is so innovative with the bongos and the whispering talk and then bringing in the vocals and synthesizers....

[OHWISEONE1996]

wow this is a wierd song but i like it!

[supatones]

Awsome video

[francis7841]

I have a little man in my head

[Browncoat56]

Does'nt everyone have a little man in his head

[nroks]

who put the blackie in the white house

[6irondriver]

has a Dave Matthews twang to it....

[TheOdderOne]

who put the bau in the bauhaus

[hooglaz]

who put the cracker in the crack house?

[BenZeneProject]

you did, baby. you did.

[Ritzy87]

@hooglaz you did babe! lol just going with the song



[morbidangelofdeath1]

@hooglaz who put the racist in the racist house?

[MonkeYxBoxeR]

@hooglaz very niceee

[Browncoat56]

This is genius.

[dundem187]

Dumb ass crackers doing dumb ass shit as usual.

[shawnbroomo]

me likey

[paulosf100]

very cool beat, funny video, good vib

[VerticalAddiction]

Very creative video - wonder who came up with the "robot" concept? As a kid, I had suspected that a few people around me may be robots ... this vid really brings the thought to another level.

[SpencerDoue]

Sometimes the lead singer sounds like Duke Nukem lol

[assmane999]

a seniors home...I think

[ZmanBeast5]

haha this sounds cool

[Vauxhall94]

the last time i heard this song must have been like roughly 10 yrs ago. It was actually played quite a bit back then though. As a kid, I always mistaken it for Dave Matthews Band. Just this song. Really is the same kind of vibe. i don`t recall a hit from these guys after this. quite sad

[Zhejiangopterus]

@Vauxhall94

That's because all of their hits were before this, this was near the end of their career.

[simulacrum13]

@Vauxhall94

they actually had quite a few hits before this song. this was pretty much the last of their mainstream success. check out mmm mmm mmm or their version of the ballad of peter pumpkinhead.

[ladykiller85]

@Vauxhall94 I definitely hear the resemblance to Dave Matthews here, who I also happen to love to death.

[thadamajayo]

an old folks home maybe

[niansenx]

The man inside his head controlling him should have had a man inside his head controlling him.

[locololas]

Yeah, he looks like Anton Chigurh at 0:42. Who put the fun in the funhouse, "friendo"? Hahahaha

[assmane999]

LOL Completely!!

[colemann76]

Underrated

[iefdg]

i agree !

[colemann76]

good

[Kpalsm]

Sounds like Duke Nukem sang this song. I remember this song being popular when I was young...never really liked it, and I liked other more popular Crash Test Dummies songs. Didn't even know this song was by them until now.

[houseofdrummond]

Great band but like most people and acts out of Winnipeg they self-destructed once success was at hand. Definitely check out their first album The Ghosts that Haunt Me.

[thadamajayo]

xavier bardem was in a band??

[iklepud]

great song

[shldnbschmn]

very clever song.

[xcrdude03]

dude me too. hahaha. all i remembered was that

[diegomansi]

looks like a bjork video

[mikecappa]

did he start taking drugs?

[nerdyharry]

who put the dookie in the shithouse? you did baybehuh you did. :D

[Mharjasis]

This song has a high WTF factor.

[rockinhamburger]

oh my god when i was five years old i hear this song, and i just remembered the line "who put the ____ in the ____ house? you did baby" and now, sixteen years later, i have found the song!

[ZiLioNAuT]

OMG, just reading your lines gave me goose bumps!! :)

[jackie182]

haha i am in the exact same situation!! niiice

[stratman9]

Sixteen years later? This song was released in 1999.

[nerdyharry]

in my universe, i was twelve and its been ten years. cool.

[mikecappa]

that doesnt seem to add up... it was released in 99'.

[delongebrodeur]

woah...totally forgot about this song lol

[2565587]

куча каментов на английском!!!!Неужели никто не слышал из наших эту песню?Кароче она классная.:)

[moodswiings]

This video is so weird but I love this song!

[mrway667]

he sounds like duke nukem

[AlexisNembrode]

This man has such an unbelievable voice,...I wish they released an album every year...I miss them a lot.

[locololas]

Who put the fun in the funhouse...."friendo"? hahahaha

[morefishscale]

I wish they still made music like this. Beats the fuck out of Rihanna.

[Floyd13778]

@morefishscale Agreed! Additionally, it's such an untypical song for this band compared to everything else I know by them. Wouldn't you agree?

[IAMGIGANTIC0]

@morefishscale Pun intended?

[morefishscale]

@IAMGIGANTIC0 no actually but thats pretty funny!

[whoiscuriousgeorge]

@morefishscale Oh music like this is still being made, it's just that you have to dig to find it beneath the see of shiny, over-produced and totally soulless pop records we're getting right now. Beck for example, sounds like this, as do the Mojave 3.

[derpenstein]

I think this song's so cool.

[killerinst85]

I'm not a fan of this song, but I still remained curious by the video.

[Prometheus1st]

Who put a lid on the Whitehouse???

Who put a finger on the Whitehouse???

Who made suicide a debacle that didn't include the Whitehouse???

Who made a leak...stop????

Suicide is Murder obscured.

[thekkl]

Wait... What?

[wu420]

i saw this on tv and thought it was the funniest shit ever

[Mbantua]

Who put whitey in the Whitehouse?

[kinshasaAPP]

The American public.

lol

[Percypl]

And that presidents had been always white males at that point. It was ten years before Obama.

[kinshasaAPP]

Whoopee. Obama has already put us deeper in a hole. And yet still no brightside insight.

[TithonusSyndrome]

He's reversed the imbecilic stem cell policies of the fundie-cum-Friedman-wanking administration before him. That's not the be all end all, but it's more than any realistic alternative could've accomplished.

[Shadowhawk28]

Reminds me of Edward Murphy's movie "Meet Dave"

[DCKar2nist]

Can someone tell me what this song's about???

[bigdaddychacha]

Personal responsibility?

[thekkl]

Taking credit for everything and anything you can think of =P

[Randyuls]

it's kind of katchy :D

[dabore84]

I was looking very long for this song. I forgot the name and the band. I was looking in weird al's wiki, when I saw he made a parody about crash test dummies. Finally found it

[cardmaster12345]

LOL ALL YOUR COMENTS ARE FUNNY

[clsy0714]

keep your eyes on things while im gone

[homiegx]

holy shite yeah i didnt realize the views thing, im too busy listening to the song lol.

[EndoftheDaySeries]

The song was heavy rotation on the radio back in the day. I'm surprised it has so few views.

[Zanteogo]

I forgot about this song.

Their "new style" of music sort of removed them form the main stream.

It's not really my kind of music though some of their ealier stuff was alright.

[johnplayerspecial88]

Then he looks like robert downey jr. at 00:12

[zeentron]

what the HELL HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE JAVIER BARDEM IT'S ACTUALLY SCARY. at 43 seconds it ACTUALLY looks like javier bardem became the lead singer of crash test dummies, i'm seein doubles!

[BlueOrchidMoon77]

i don't think he does.

[zeentron]

you are blindddddd!! they are twins. lol

[joeyaglr444]

I have not heard this song for so long ive been trying to find it for long long time

[phunkychickita]

wow

[okgo570]

i totally heard this song for the first time on this kokanee cd that i had... Ive been looking for it ever since. Thanks for sharing!

[rrtodd95]

I used to take guitar lessons from Brad when I was a kid in Winnipeg. Right up until the year before the Dummies hit big.

I bumped into him at the Spectrum, a bar he used to work at and congratulated him on his album.

I took lessons from him for 6 years and he said, "do I know you?"

Dick head!!

[justjokingyall]

probably drunk the whole time.

[snickersice55]

dis is da best song eva

[DEIDRE1979]

very weird video and song but my favorite!

[sportakook]

Great song and great video. Thanks for sharing!!!

[WeirdAlCrazy56]

I love this song :D Where did you find all these music videos? I have to get them!! Crash Test Dummies rock!!

[lynnctd]

Me too. Try the remixed version (see link in detail info). It is better.

I have all their music videos (& Crash Test Dude/Greatest Hits Live) on VHS.

Not to mention T-shirts, records, singles, press kits, sheet music, hats, etc...

:)

Been a huge fan since 5th grade (1995) so I've collected lots of things throughout the years.

I may master Symptomology of a Rockband, Crash Test Dude, Greatest Hits Live, etc... to DVD for "personal" use.

[WeirdAlCrazy56]

Oh, okay! Thanks!

[ladycplum]

Did you see their Intimate & Interactive with Sook-Yin? God she was an embarrassment!

[lynnctd]

I've seen it. I have the whole thing on a CD somewhere. Not good resolution though.

The whole show didn't go well.

[balatoon]

припев шикарный. как-то цепляет.

[TheprestigeNC]

see the thing is, yes the song is wierd, and so on. But this band is so extremely talented, and has a real message to relay. And they are their own band and not some carbon copy. great music.

[Boojispud]

I love this album, it was probably the last really good one they did.

This particular song makes me nostalgic for the late nineties...

[Hoochie2122]

This is a funny song, very offbeat too, LOL.

[Llpadre]

it took me a while to get into this song, but its fun lol

[stubs13]

What happened to their style? Folk and now what? Noir Rock?

[Kenster1025]

I remember this song when I was 7.

[mrrichardfeder]

... hey

who put the wine in the Winehouse?

Nice slinky little tune; just enough to whet your appetite, and they're outta there.

Clean-as-a-whistle production by Greg Wells. The album as a whole is inconsistent, though.

[scotterinsam]

What a different song eh?

[Llpadre]

lol

[graemeislord]

This is the point where the CTD's went down hill. I can't bear to listen to anything after 'A Worm's Life' I really can't...It's harsh to say but other than 'Every Morning' I struggle to find a CTD worthy of what I know they are capable of

[madamespaulding]

I think I like the "old" CTD :/ Still good though.

[itsmeyoufool37]

Great number, must say i found this album a little dissapointing though

[user991984]

niiice

[OlgaZoubkova]

omg, i LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!

[mjfbush]

Who put the whore in the whore house?

[dwdeclare]

who put granny in the outhouse?

[mjfbush]

He looks like the bad guy in no country for old men.

[beatrixpendragon]

Beautiful. All that is left is for me to get a mp3 of it. I can't find the album anywhere. I hope someone can help me....T_T

[Boojispud]

I had to get it used from amazon.

[RocketDescends]

I loooove this video. Crash Test Dummies rock!

[bigb6866]

This song is funny

[8302linda]

Thank you for posting this video.

It was very under appreciated especially in the states.

[shadowspork]

Aw man, I always heard this song on the radio way back then. Thanks for posting this!
