  • - your daddy dont no what your moma's gonna do tonight ;D

    LOL!

  • Love this video so much Likewise, the cover.

  • Has anybody else noticed that's the guy from Fubar in the video. If it isn't him it sure looks like him!

  • @DannyBoy17NS read the video description you moron

  • @BitchBeTrollinHard My IQ is 143 and I graduated high school and college with honours, I really don't think I'm a moron! So let's talk about quantum mechanics, and particle physics? Or do you not understand that kind of stuff?

  • @DannyBoy17NS ya ok mr. just cause you can read books doesnt mean you are not a moron

  • No one understands Toronto.

  • Neko Case said that she doesn't like making videos for songs, especially when she was in them. Fortunately she's a pro and took one for the team. For someone who barely moves when singing her own songs, she definitely has rhthym and good footwork. Check her out in one of her first bands Maow and the song Ms. Lefevre. She also shows some moves on the kids show Chic-A-Go-Go from Chicago where she and her friends lip-synch to a Wanda Jackson tune and then lead the El Train Line at the end.

  • @inDefinitionTV First of all, this is just one cover and it wasn't even on any of their albums. Secondly, just because he doesn't agree with you doesn't mean he's 14. Also, it's not a bad cover, you just don't like it. I'm sure many New Pornographers fans like it because I think it's better than the original.

  • bullshit

    

  • Credit where credit is due. This will introduce the kiddies today to the good music from the band Toronto. It is a good cover version.

  • i wish that i had jesse's girl! wait....

  • @BitchBeTrollinHard omg i agree!! i was trying to think waht this reminds me of.. and you're so right. that's it.

  • Where can I get this track? It's fabulous!

  • Even the might NPs can't save this stinker of a song!

  • 2:05 is my life-blood.

  • Don't feed the trolls.

  • Don't feed the trolls!

  • FUCKING SUX

  • @inDefinitionTV Yes, entertaining children.  Figured you'd know your audience.

    Your move, old bean.

  • @inDefinitionTV What a clown. Do you make balloon animals too?

  • Lovin' Neko's hair. By the way to all the haters, this is way better than the original.

  • Is that Kirk Hammett plays Slash's guitar?

  • @HIghBlutdruck Actually I think it's Page's guitar. I just wish Kirk Hammett were actually that cool.

  • By the way, a songwriter isn't "ripped off" when someone covers their song - they actually get paid. Royalties.

  • I'm pretty sure there are better things to do then go to videos of songs that you don't like and trash them. Grow up already.

  • @inDefinitionTV HEY! don't judge a band by its cover! didn't you ever learn that in elementary school?!

  • WHY?

  • terry and deaner got right wrecked last night

  • What is this? another world of which i do not know?

  • theese guys fucking suck

  • just give'r!

  • @chefshitpiece Fans of TNP don't listen to sublime.

  • NEKO CASE!!!!!

  • Check out "I KICKED SATAN's ASS!" on youTube!!! Everyone says it sounds kinda like Sublime.

  • @inDefinitionTV, are you serious? Yeah, they released five critically-acclaimed albums of covers. That's it. Jesus Christ you're a moron. Do you know anything about music outside of Nickelback? Tell me a single reason why the cover is "horrible." I'm giving you a legitimate chance to justify your idiotic opinion right here.

  • @shogunmusic nice burn

  • @inDefinitionTV, the band's first three albums each ranked in the top 40 on The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop year-end poll of hundreds of music reviewers. In 2007, Blender magazine ranked The New Pornographers' first album, Mass Romantic, the 24th best indie album of all time. It is the second-highest Canadian album on the list, behind Arcade Fire's Funeral (which came in sixth). Were you born retarded, or did you need lessons?

  • TRON !!!!!!

  • Hey has anyone noticed that the music for this song is nearly identical to Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield in some parts? listen to them one after another an I gaurentee you will hear the similarities.

  • AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @robmatlivingstone Kinda just shows how little you know about Neko. She started playing drums for a punk band. As great as her alt-country is, (and it is) she's also got a very Rock side. She's said in interviews if she wasn't with the new pornographers, which is something of stress relief for her, she'd be with a different rock band. Plus, you just have bad taste if you don't think this band is awesome XD

  • huminterresting Btw anyone up for some dity talk

  • Do I see a Delorean in this video? Love the song!

  • Comment removed

  • kids in the hall made me remember how great a song this is...

  • this comment made me remember how great kids in the hall is :D

  • holy POP.

  • Probably their best effort - Nekos voice and Newman does not have to deal with connecting the hooks in the song. More covers from these guys would be a treat.

  • Love Neko's Nicks look.

  • TERRY AND DEANER!!!!

  • is this track available anywhere??

  • It's on the soundtrack for this film, FUBAR, and I found it easily enough. This is a cover of a popular song in Canada during the early 80's by a band that had some success called Toronto. This is almost an exact copy of Toronto's original, note for note and line for line. Neko kicks ass with the vocal though. I remember this song from my youth, and particularly how awful I thought their female singer was. I love the track with Neko singing though.

  • Daddy Don't Know.

  • fuckin two liner!!!!!

  • I'm a pro chair hopper and I can relate to the abuse we athletes go through in the name of this... Sorry, needed a moment.... This sport of mortal kings and holy angels. We are the new gladiators. You will all see. ESPN you look out!!!!

  • My favorite part of the silly costumes: the fact that Neko's hair is crimped.

  • can they do ANYTHING badly???? Great song! Neko kicks ass!

  • fucking love them !!

  • ah neko is amazing

  • HA ha this is totally awesome thought the video is crazy weird at points.

  • I can fill out that "leather "costume as well as she can.

  • I especially like the fellow in the red hat and makeup, if I was a mullet wearing redneck in a folding chair jumping competition, I would want him as my manager.

  • Terry and Deaner

  • I like it, I like it a lot!

  • this song may be lottsa things ...but rancid piece of shit it isnt.....I remember being a tween playing this in my older bros trans am on his newfangled cassette player..... (and yes it had a screaming egale on it ...oh yeah)

  • Wow, this is a GREAT cover!

  • zajebista muzyka

  • I love the weird sound that starts at 0:51. It fits so perfectly.

  • Yeah, that Neko Case, she has a voice she does.

  • Banau to najlepiej wykonuje!!!:D

    ale to tez jest zajebiste!:]

  • This song is really great!

  • Good lord snobs... of course this is not standard NP stuff. Its fun and homage to the 80's full out pop-rock. Stop trying to impress everyone with your astute understanding of the NP and their music... sometimes indulgence in a vice is nothing more. Enjoy it and stop analyzing it, its just fun, stop with the elite posturing and rock out mindlessly for three friggin minutes. Its fine and my IQ is still intact, like yours.

  • what and where can a dude get this?

  • i agree. they totally could have new-pornografied this song. i havent heard the original but i bet it sounds a lot like this cover. shame

  • I want to google them, but I'm afraid for the results.. x'D

  • This isn't up to par for NP's regular quality, but I think it is still better than the original. That is saying something.

    Neko's voice is to die for! Aaah! *melts*

  • so awesome

  • As much as I dig Toronto and New Pornographers. This cover of the awesome song is very disappointing. Neko Case is a fox!!!!

  • I really hope nobody judges The New Pornographers by this song which is a cover because they've made songs that are miles better than this.

  • yeh but like.. they could have made it brilliant. but they made it into what you'd expect from any band doing a mediocre cover...

    It makes me cry a little inside :(

    oh, there i go..

  • im a HUGEEEE fan of The New Pornographers, but i have to say, probably one of their worst songs, unless its meant to be a joke..

    (i bet i'll get a few thumbs down for this one.. :( )

  • It's a cover of a great early 80's tune by the awesome Canadian band "Toronto".

  • not really a canadian band, just based in toronto

  • Carl Newman is from Vancouver originally, currently living in New York.

  • If you like this, try and find FUBAR: The Album.

  • so is it me or is the band dressed up like: alex van halen, burton cummings, kirk from metallica and maybe stevie nicks/janis joplin

  • I love that all their music videos are somewhat parodies of popular culture.

    They always look like they're enjoying making the videos as much as I do watching them.

  • once again.....chair jumping may bring you glory now..... they may want to 'get high' with you but chair jumping has no sustainable future......this undergound sport will head youngsters down the wrong path! I see by all the thumbs downs of my previous comment that a lot of bitter chair jumpers are still out there.....

  • are you like nine hundred years old?

  • just wondering

  • @clobber75 Thank you, thank you, thank you. The perils of chair jumping have long been swept under the proverbial carpet for far too long, costing thousands of heretofore productive youngsters their very innocence. This is no laughing matter. It is yet another example of the mustardious stains left fetid and festering by the Regan administration. I truly hope that your bravery, nay, heroism does not fall on the deaf ears of our tender youth. Stand proud, and stand strong, clobber75.

  • good remake of the 80's song done by "toronto"

  • lol! People think you're serious... fucking tards.

  • sweet song!

    I just discovered this band, and I love all their songs!!!

  • I see Ben Bridwell stepped in for a short act with NP. ;)

  • How can something be so awesome and so hilarious at the same time. Perfect.

  • Not a bad cover at all. :D

  • Hey: Does anyone have a decent rip of this song? I can only find the 96k mp3 floating around on file sharing. It isn't on Itunes nor Amazon, I can't find the soundtrack in stock anywhere on planet earth.

    Would pay for the CD or whatever, need it for a project I'm working on about cover songs. PLEASE. Anyone?

    Message me.

  • so glad they made a video for this. the new pornographers make great videos!

  • WHERE'S THE ORIGINAL? It used to be on YouTube...This isn't a bad cover, but Holly Woods sings it better

  • Ba-da-bing-ba-da-bang-ba-da-bo­om!

  • awsomely retro digs

  • is that kelly hogan playing the rock star??

  • great band i had never listened to them

    but i do like ac newman and I LOVE neko so you can't go wrong putting the two together

  • wasn't this song in a car commercial years ago?

  • all my friends make fun of me for liking this song...but im honestly in love with it

  • It's actually a good cover! I'm impressed!

  • If you mean the woman in the black pleather number, then my first thought was that she was Fiona Forbes, a Vancouver access cable personality; however, despite the uncanny similarity they are not one and the same.

  • TORONTO!!!!

  • so catchy!

  • Neko i love you..

  • amazing

  • nice song

  • this is almost exactly like the "Jesse's Girl" chord progression. Can't help but love a nod to Rick Springfield

  • the song is actually a cover of the Canadian band TORONTO

  • Yeaaah this song rocks!!

    She`s breakin your heart

    You`d better be your own best friend

    Cause once you learn the steps

    It`s somethin you`ll never forget!! Love Canada^^

  • perfect. Canada rocks!

  • It's the Fleetwood Macs!

  • Ah! The wardrobe of the band is awesome!

    And Neko looks amazing.

    This video makes me smile every time I watch it!

  • Neko carries the band - again.

  • Oh, please. She's great, but then again they ALL are.

  • killer song!!!

  • aaahaha! has anyone else noticed fuckin terry & dean from fubar in there! fuckin eh! they're the ones jumping over the chairs! btw great cover of a great song.

  • Hahaha well that's because this song was in the compilation of the Fubar Soundtrack :D

  • i also love the original, but this is good!

  • Aaahhhh! This song is just so amazing. Neko's phenomenal. Carl Newman kinda looks like a weird Billy Bob Thornton with that getup. Todd Fancey looks like Metallica's gay guitarist (can't remember name).

  • Praise the lord and pass the Aquanet. I loved the original and think this is a respectful tribute.

  • Praise the Lord and pass the Aquanet?!

    That's amazing.

  • As far as covers go they did well by Toronto and they have great taste in music. It is such a classic song; I have the vinyl 45 record of it still.

  • Is an OK cover, but I LOVE the original!

  • Gotta love the keyboard player rockin' the Burton Cummings look. Great cover.

  • Some of the attire / look points at a couple members of Toronto as well.

  • Neko + Stevie Nicks Attire = Crazy Delicious

  • oh my. oh neko. <3

  • I liked the jumper in the American helmet...Very classy. -_-. Toronto did it better, but it was good. =D

  • Psst, actually, they're from Vancouver. Sorry, a real new porn geek I am. :S

  • uh, the song is a cover of the band Toronto, not the place...

  • oh, yeah. I totally have egg on my face now. :S

  • LOVE IT!!! thanks for postin' this!! :)
