AMANDA PALMER does HELL by TEGAN & SARA in NYC

[kemplerbrave]

Amanda, this is a great video. I'm a big T&S fan and you made a great video using the song. I'm so glad there are girls like you that understand and love T&S like I do. I hope to pass you on the street some day and you can push or grab me or something. That would be cool. :)

[Interesterified]

I wanna move to Boston or whatever just in the hopes that one day AFP will harrass me on the streets. :)

[rakash0500]

This makes me insanely happy. Just really really happy. I love my life.

[Afroblack379]

i want to take kung fu classes, and hijack chinese cowboys covered wagon full of opium... with Amanda Palmer. but not as much if shes better than me. jk, she can totally be better than me.

[101AnimeSk8er101]

Love this song!

[noonehearsmescream1]

i love tegan and sara and amanda palmer, this is brilliant!

[BeadleBelfry]

I had a huge smile on through this whole video. Have you any idea how long it's been since I've done that?

[lucy798]

.51 hahaaa, those guys!!

[ChelseyGetsScared]

2:43 would be me XD

[darkvixen8]

this is my most favorite music video ever. It makes me want to go singing in the streets.



[AFAallday]

My favorite person covering my favorite song by my favorite people xD That's so weird!

[keitaro21]

Wow this makes me love Amanda even more !! it's like three of the most talented girl I admire are together to make something beautiful !! I hope Tegan and Sara have seen that too ^^

[narutoxfunny10]

I love Amanda's boy language, I would hear something like the music actually is if I had no sound at all. The running scenes are my favorites :) I don't know why though

[surfingwidkakashi]

i'm impressed :D

[raycapslock]

if amanda palmer walks past me i'd sell my soul just to grab and hold her... what's the matter with these people?

[basiacomeout]

Did I already mention this?  I love this video.

[omggabypwnzyou]

You just made my day.

[catscan189]

Tegan and Sara? Nothing left for Amanda Fucking Palmer but to settle down with a nice woman somewhere. =P

[flyingh0gfish]

@catscan189 Well she certainly hasn't settled down, but she did marry a very nice man.

His name is Neil Gaiman. Check out his comics, short stories, poetry, novels, movies, etc... They are both fucking amazing.

[catscan189]

@flyingh0gfish I know. I have. Way to ruin the already little humor in my comment. XP

[cheesegoth]

If i weren't gay i'd love you more than i already do xD

[jaggysnake57]

i never thought i would say this...but i actually prefer her doing other peoples songs than her own!!!!

[msholden1990]

WOW my two fav artists in one. I met Amanda Palmer yesterday it was amazing!

[DrDontcallme]

@msholden1990 Where? How? I need to contact her to tell her how fucking inspiring she is. Not in a stalker way of course. ;) ohh no.. hehe

[vengefulangelz]

Yes, come randomly attack me on the streets!!! I dare you woman :)

[bendebiase]

so great! love t & s and love what you are doing!

[Arkanix]

I love Tergan and Sara, but ummm...this is actually better than their video for this song

[19Sirio]

1:16 -> That woman has fear in her eyes! (not Amanda, the other, obvoiusly) =O

[fluorescentian]

I wish I was one of those people =]

[iluvteganandsara]

haha this is fucking awesome. Love it!!!

[TheCasstello]

AWESOME!!!

[TheSashaSays]

you're the best.

[xmisogyny]

amazing

[wheredidusernamesgo]

fucking hilarious.

[MAreesay]

awesome. 

[Kahrmeen]

after watching this video i really think, we need more people like you in this world..

[DizzyDior12]

I'm like, afraid for her safety in this video, hahaha. But I love this song and I love her so... I love THIS. :D

[xmisogyny]

@DizzyDior12

Yeah I think she was looking a little afraid after she approached the black chicks and they were like "nigga wtf is wrong with U", she kind of backed away....

LOL

[TheOneEyedOwl]

This makes me so freaking happy! I wonder if she sings out loud when she aproaches people?

[BobigailE]

@TheOneEyedOwl I truly hope so.

[KittyRika]

I don't understand how I had missed this. Thank God I read Amanda's RT Tegan&Sara.

It is lovely. It's kinda scary though how many people try to run away in 3 1/2 minutes.

[2nitewepartay]

@KittyRika Yeah, I'd probably hug her/pass out if I saw her (or anyone) doing this.

[Inmyclothes]

Amanda Palmer is such a free spirit, seems so down to earth. Goddess.

[Quadkite]

This is a nice video.

[Quadkite]

DIR EN GREY concert at 2:33!! I missed that when i watched this video last fall! I <3 JRock. (Not meaning to detract from AFP or T&G)

[Gasandka11]

Such a cool video, and so funny can´t be from no one else, Amanda Palmer and Tegan and Sara are just the best

[WideAwakeCJM]

an amazing combination of two great groups of artists :D

[forever0me]

oh my god i think that is the best video i have officially ever seen

[bestemore]

fucking fuck yeah forever

[technicolor444]

um. 2:38 to 2:50. win.

[627Productions]

i was the 666th "like" haha #juvenile

[627Productions]

i was the 666th "like" haha #juvenile

[627Productions]

ha i was the 666th "like"...juvenile but still fun

[freeky222haha]

DO ME.

[piggywuvsgir]

...This made me laugh and love Tegan and Amanda that much more.



[piggywuvsgir]

...This made me laugh and love Tegan and Amanda that much more.

[WiredDolly]

my girl crush on amanda will never die. i seriously fall more in love everyday. could she be more perfect

[Noomie90]

Amanda Palmer and Tegan & Sara is possibly one of the best combinations ever...

[drmadrid1]

too bad the official video isn't this exciting and kinetic. i love tegan and sara, but their music videos never do it for me. this video fits the song much better

[margaretthrasher]

Amanda, do you live in the big building on the corner of my block? Because the first half of this video is definitely my block. If you do, come over and I'll make you a pie.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

So these are real random people and not actors? Hilarious. I wonder if she's lip syncing or actually singing.

[sebastianthegoat]

@kmacmuzikmafia27 This has the original vocals on it. It's Tegan Quin singing.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

@sebastianthegoat

I know that, I was wondering if she was singing out loud in the video or just randomly lip syncing like a dying fish in people's faces. Cuz that's hilarious either way.

[auditoryarmory]

so brave. i could never randomly do this to people. I love that Dir En Grey was playing at that time. I love the guy randomly reading a magazine with her.

[Ziplocks619]

oh gosh i would have LOVED to see her film this hahaha

[FalselyTrue]

i hope she was actually singing this as she ran around new york hahahaha

[xsabrix1]

I love her!! lmao people freaking out hahaha

[XshattereddreeamsX]

I love when she hides from the cops and then starts doing it again, haha. I wonder if she was actually singing (I know she was lipsyncing in the video) but I mean actually singing out loud the words with her headphones on. I think that would've freaked people out more. xD

[xsabrix1]

@XshattereddreeamsX I think she does actually sing out loud...in the Everybody's gotta live karaoke she definitely was, you could her her singing voice at the end XD so I guess she does sing in every video.

[ChemicalKatastophe]

lol im a little confused.. i just hope she wasnt lip singing down the street that would rly rly creep ppl out lol great video tho

[purplelover9194]

I think Amanda Palmer is really beautiful and I much prefer how she looks in this video to when she wears tons of make-up in the other ones. I think she still looks good in the other ones, but I just think less make-up fits her personality more and no one can deny that she has immense natural beauty.

[The949080]

2:44 BEAR HUG!! haha don't kill me!

[TheTrueMichiru]

1:38 always makes me laugh.

[xxjackxoffxjillxx]

omg loveeeeeeeee

[NCLEZBN1]

I cant stop laughing!

[bestemore]

Amanda you add so much to my life

[sonjunkie]

greatest thing i've ever seen

[maryfks14]

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VIDEO OF ALL TIME

[screamolives]

I wonder if any of the people who appeared in this video know they're practically famous on youtube now ahaha.

[DSXmachine]

Way better than the boring video Tegan and Sara did.

[screamolives]

Gosh, all of Amanda's little 'performances' like this are better than any music videos I see around. Still so powerful yet simple!

[Leoness16]

I love tegan and sara about as much as i love you <3 <3 <3 <3 I about passes out when I saw this...amazing combination :).....i would have square danced with you XD if you had come up to me <3 LOL I LOVE AMANDA FUCKING PALMER

[sinaKACHU]

Amanda Palmer + Tegan and Sara (my idols)

[peneraserlove]

Where did you guys film this?

[xXsizzorsofdoomXx]

WHY DID NO ONE JOIN YOU!?!?!?!?!

[stfugtfofgt]

2:38 - Dir En Grey!

[screamolives]

@stfugtfofgt Nicely spotted. I was going to thumbs you down because I thought you were a faggot fan of theres and wanted to spam this video lol.

[tainteddeity]

@screamolives

Faggot? Let's try not to us that word as an insult, please :)

[BeJustInTime]

I'd fucking love it if AFP wanted to read magazines with me or lay down on the sidewalk next to me and sing. lol

[CocoaDork]

I died laughing. :D Amanda is amazing.

[MrsAineIero]

One of the many reasons why I love Amanda Fucking Palmer.

[eddiesmusicmix2]

This is just awesome! I love it! <3

[stenina84]

Amanda rocks!!!

[nhs76]

Kudos to the video's director and editor. The fit and timing of the images to the music is tight.

[ah33333]

I LOVE the guy who tackled her. :)

[cindyjumped]

I fucking love the fuck out of Amanda Fucking Palmer!

[SaraaaDisasterrr]

lol at the random facial expressions some ppl were making.and at the guy who sorta tackled her.

[insanetrixie]

I love how no one knows you're maing a video when you are hehehe

[temukense83]

wow, the guy at 0:50 is such an a**hole.

[muleskinnerify]

I don't mean to offend anyone but this is pretty sad....

[Sonetodecirene]

How so?

[sanityisrelative]

I love the people on the street who went with it.

~

[lucilka]

LOOOOVE it =) My star!

[catlover1001]

AMAZING.

[Caelyn27Chaos]

this makes me so happy

[steelmanbrothers]

shes lip sycking right?

[ZeroPointLibra]

yes

[steelmanbrothers]

@ZeroPointLibra

iaww i thought she was really gonna cover it

[littleweloosmom]

@steelmanbrothers She does sometimes. She did on her #LOFNOTC live webcast once. She does these lip sync videos for fun. They are awesome.

[caresseAttacksyou]

I l o v e her!! :D

[shatmuch]

Amazing !

[M4T3hun]

2:44 Haha xD

[yunafandom]

i love this oen!

[Madhatter254]

Dir En Grey first Us appearance as at SXSW in Austin TX .. I was there I been a fan of there for years I would say Anime conventions can contribute to the band success in America because they have Jpophouse usuallye is the one that brings Jrock bands over to america to play and they would advertise the band thats how i found them and love them. Sorry I am a big fan of Dir En Grey and Amanda Palmer and Tegan and Sara :p

[thebigpink]

ma io AMO questa donna

(but I LOVE this woman)

[この女の人のことが大好き]

[vindicated47]

Sara grinned her way throughout the video. Cool!

[ChiiPanties]

Fucking hell I love her.

[RoboticShakedown]

LOL! The way she went up to those people! Man, I love her.

[anabop]

I saw this a few weeks ago and fell in love all over again.

Seriously.

[vercul123]

I love everyone's reactions

[looneypride]

I am so madly in love with her! and i am not that way even, well that i know of anyways haha she is just so amazing!

[romeosevendelta]

hi-larious...

[pAnic20059]

i like the punks towards the end hehe

[looneypride]

@pAnic20059 me too :) and i like the guy who sits and reads magazines with her!

[XxLondonLeipzigxX]

Dir En Grey<3<3

[Hillllllllary]

i watched this twice i cant find anything dir en grey in it :(

[Hillllllllary]

@Hillllllllary FOUND IT !

[looneypride]

@Hillllllllary what is dir en grey?

[Hillllllllary]

a band, in my opinion a really good band.

[looneypride]

oh how cool, i guess i will have to check them out! :) thanks for the heads up! :)

[Death2Bigots]

2:36 - Dir en grey = Japanese Rock / Metal band, originally part of the Visual Kei scene (japan's version of artistic glam rock). They had a small underground following via internet fansites and file-sharing services before their first U.S. release, Withering to Death. In 2006 they played Korn's Family Values tour, which really 'broke' them in the states so to speak. Should you dare to give them a chance, I recommend the albums Kisou, Vulgar, Withering to Death and Uroboros (avoid Marrow).

[looneypride]

oh thanks for the info! you know alot about them :) sounds like a pretty eclectic band! thanks very much!

[tankytank]

brilliant

[stenina84]

cool! better than original T&S video..

[JMKmusic]

I'm surprised no one shot her...

Amanda Palmer is my hero.

[PinkBanana2u]

Fantastik!

[HaysoosLovesYou]

God damn. Amanda fucking palmer. AND tegan and sara. Two AMAZING artists.

I must say though i loved amandas video much more than tegan and saras.

They should join in cahoots more often. This is perfect.

[jibunnoreve]

I agree with HaysoosLovesYou. I like this video a lot more than the original (and they are a marvelous combination).

[IntroducingAnarchy]

So, I just read through the AFP newsletter and I have to say, I wish I had been there waiting in line!! [[At 2:36]] That would've been the best day ever! Getting to see two of my favourite things: Amanda Fucking Palmer and Dir En Grey<3!!! I envy those lucky bastards!

:]

[LilyWithoutWater]

amazing! =D

[ClaireUhHuh]

epic. if teetee, sasa and amanda would do only just 1 tour together it would make my life.

[TWIB627]

Oh my god, that would be so amazing.

[sango11]

2:36 =]

[trina4lesshate]

Hahaa I have wanted to do that so many times.... people think you're crazy, but they really just wish they were doing that :P

[derebin]

Hey Ms. Amanda Palmer!

Do you think you could put up a version with the original audio?

Would love to hear your actual voice and horrified bystanders sputtering "is that lady insane?!?!?!"

Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaassse?

[foreversilva]

haha that was really quite funny

[Shananani]

my two fave bands/singers

amanda and tegan and sara!!

[AntylopaAdax]

@Shananani

Hahaha, I agree with you :D but it's kinda weird when I see Amanda and hear T&S :D

[TWIB627]

Completely.

[xmuffmuncherx]

wow that was amazing! so intense and she has an amazing voices

[artemisiacc]

I love how all those people are creeped out by her :p

[steelstoner]

lol gotta love the random guy that hugged/mauled amanda.

[Robosucky]

BAH! I am so inlove with AFP!

This is just too awesome :]

[fenderpixie]

Amanda doesn't have balls, she has ovaries! That makes her even more hardcore awesome ;)

I Love you Amanda!

[motorfisher]

Sorry to disagree with your blindly following admirers, but this song is discustingly kiddy pop like and takes you even further away from your blindingly brilliant roots. Be afraid of the dark (the allure of the pop music industry) Ms. Palmer... Be very afraid.

[electricbixxh]

@motorfisher and your comment is so elitist

[electricbixxh]

@motorfisher amanda has done karaoke to an avril lavinge song in the past, which was awesome. get out of your box

[motorfisher]

the mindless droning of a blind follower means nothing in the face of musical integraty. Don't get me wrong, I loved the music created by Amanda sense her humble beginings. I just would hate to see her throw artistic integraty down the toilet to appease the 14-25 yr. old mid-class white girl demograghic and do a "Grab for the Cash" pop album.

Now tell me again "Who's the elitist

biot-xxh ?

[adoptedbyapopmachine]

@motorfisher you dont understand AFP.

[cathrynfrear]

If you're going to complain, start to learn to spell.

[electricbixxh]

@motorfisher I'm not even going to bring up the fact that you're the one who's being elitist because of your "no validity in pop music attitude", or the fact that Tegan and Sara are a lesbian indie rock band who actually don't get that much airplay, or the fact that you've suggested that AP is pandering to a "teeny-bopper" demographic BUT I AM going to correct your spelling - "Integrity"

[myjuppiter]

brilliant.

[simfoniaco]

Lol, you don't even know what the song is about and you called disGustingly kiddy pop like ...

[borednow1661]

Ok, 2:51, bearded man at door of hotel, is possibly the most awesome thing in this. (saving your presence AFP).

I really want to go shake his hand and tell him that he rocks.

[shmoedaddy1]

Great job with this video. just awesome, and love all the reactions and message. just way cool

[BloodyTornRose]

LOL i see the line for dir en grey xDD

2:37 <3 i was there WOOT lol

Is it just me or does the guy in the blue shirt at 2:55 resemble Flava F
