Eels - I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man

[kellybongos]

it would appear both objected.

[MrPing1000]

Prince, hates the internet, he spends all day looking for copyright violations. Ridiculous but it's true.

[JohnsCoolMusic]

why didn't they just remove the whole video. Kinda silly watching a silent music video lol

[BilisNegra]

@JohnsCoolMusic Quite right, I keep saying the same in all those cases. There are those who claim it must remain for the sake of people knowing some injustice has been made. Bullshit and nonsense.

[sccizsor333]

Although there is no sound, I still love the fact there are over twice as many thumbs up as thumbs down! ^.^ E sure does rock!

[pilz845]

the show outfit is perfect, but where is the sound??

[dapajaman]

yeah what's up with the pajamas? ahaha did the staff just wake them up and play a song for retard fans? and the sound? where the hell is it?

[xxfortyfirexx]

Can anyone else not hear this or am i crazy?

[crazeemeel]

@xxfortyfirexx i cant hear it either

[ANNABECKDK]

@xxfortyfirexx I'm hearing it just fine, i think you might be crazy.

the instrumental interlude at 2:04 is my favorite part.

[OokwantsREVENGE]

The song's on Useless Trinkets, thankfully. When synced up right, it's great.

[Gerkinstock]

Wow... Prince controls everything.

[tpstaloch]

Prince sucks the purple wennie.

[radsurferchelsea]

he's amazing.

[leonio10]

...where's the bleeding sound! 8(

[dicktrippinkickflip]

he's in his pj's.. he's a G!

[innerQwlmmhh]

yes, the prince sign o the times concert movie is quite phenomenal, maybe the best rock concert movie ever

too bad the guy also has to interfere with things like this. he sucks that way.

[TAVZ1969]

Prince, you really are knob aren't you!

[brianwildemusic]

It's not Prince's fault, it's his record companies fault. They own the rights to the song, not Prince.

[bartleby2007]

@brianwildemusic

actually prince owns the rights....

[brianfurry13]

prince and his lawyers are all bitches.

[andymaq]

Prince is such a fucking dick. Eels' songs are way better anyway, don't know why E would want to cover a Prince song!

[przekwitanie]

maybe because prince is a genius? :)

[Cordoloinar]

The sound's gone because Prince has paid a visit. Try and find any audible purple on YT.

[dodghes]

what a sound quality.. :P

[Nodickfilms]

well, this used to be an awesome song...where is the sound?

[leondenis00]

the sound of silence

[Avaloner]

no sound, unfortunetly :(

[brain4breakfast]

amazing when u watch with the sound on cd.

[zbdart]

Dunno why but i am getting any sound,only video

[whamji]

why is there no sound? was it takin off because of the copyright?

[plumtreepilgrim]

Yep, they didn't get permission at the time of DVD release, so a brief commentary by E was put in place.

[karllovekarl]

uhm...where can I listen to that song? I'm really curius about it.

[brain4breakfast]

you could buy the cd by eels "Useless Trinkets: B-Sides, Soundtracks, Rarities And Unreleased". it also has many other brilluant sons. i recommend it.

[brain4breakfast]

you could buy the cd "Useless Trinkets: B-Sides, Soundtracks, Rarities And Unreleased". Its absolutely brilliant. I highly recommend it.

[kwakker]

waw

[aboshin]

Very good song, thanks for posting !

[musicmamma]

I love the Eels!! Perfect lyrics, as usual from E. Thanx 4 posting!!

[Debaucheryltd]

he didn't write this song by the way musicmamma...

[Junkfoodsamourai]

Yeah, that's right, Prince wrote it.

[danthesuperman08]

this song is by Prince

[kspurgeon]

I also would suggest looking up My Morning Jackets version of the song. It's pretty killer as well.

[SystemJammer]

Good take, very country-folk. Prince should be flattered (if only he's not too busy taking down his own videos from YouTube).

[wesman6673]

Cry baby Prince, won't allow any of his shit on You Tube or any other site on the planet. Anytime any of his shit gets posted--his lawyers take it down in a hurry! Prince is all about the money. Prince is a good performer and great musician and songwriter--but he sucks dirty whino ass as an artist and human being.

[loner3312]

My dad has an old Live version of Prince playing an upbeat version of "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" and it is by far the best live performance by anyone!

If anyone has it, please put it on here!

[Carlos1584]

you might be talking about the sign o the times movie. that one is really good

[curtiskol]

Awesome video for Eels fans - the missing link in the "With Strings" DVD where they had to delete the audio track of this video and talk over it, because they hadn't permission to broadcast it yet.

Pajamas is their shtick for an encore after most of the crowd has left, done especially for the stragglers.

[themightycelestial]

I never even heard of this version.

The strings sound good with the acoustic guitar.

Good job.

[redmonson7323]

I like it. Not crazy about the pajamas, but I thought it was a good rendition.

[volstar88]

I could not conjure up anything more hideous than this video. Truly a low point for the human race.
