Barenaked Ladies - The Old Apartment (Video)

[DJTidoCook]

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Rick Astley in this one?

[Benno2081]

This song is one of the best odes to longing for ones past that I have ever heard!!! Amazingly well done, and sung with passion!!!!

[partyman6666]

I love this song but I kinda wish the singers voice didn't sound so much like a "fat guy" as he sings parts of the song. It would be interesting in a funny way to hear the opposite of this guy, and listen to Axle Rose cover this.. LOL.

[Shamuluva0328]

I saw them in concert and it was AMAZING!

[MrCrowley2091]

@ralphyization Mario without Luigi

[SwiftySwormsOfSwill]

This is the first time I heard the studio version. I've had Rock Spectacle since around '99 and have never heard this one, so I have to yell "Ugh" when appropriate (which is near 2:48).

[odabeaux]

Hey Podnah, Lake Chenier is a great place for fishing!! I am a Pellerin from the Lafayette area of Louisiana. I don't know any Chenier's per say....Now there is a black Zydeco singer whose name is Clifton Chenier....That boy can play! I hope to Geaux to Canada some day. "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez"

[isohockey92]

This video promotes breaking and entering...... not very good for young kids to see

[GregThePanda]

@isohockey92 i desperately hope this is a joke

[isohockey92]

@GregThePanda it seems as if sarcasm is wasted on you

[dogterd]

We used to live over a junkie who was a total trainwreck. One night at 3AM she was hurling herself against my neighbor's door, and was heard to scream "JOE... IF YOU DON'T OPEN UP I'M GONNA TELL EVERYBODY YER A FUCKIN COKE DEALER!!"

Then we bought a nice house in a quiet neighborhood.

[autiger45]

So they used to live here, right?

[mikeFUCKINealer]

reminds me of sittin down playin morrowind for 2-3 days with no sleep with my best friend and a 24 pack of mt dew good times

[Redsage1122]

@mikeFUCKINealer I remember those days.

[glue33090]

i miss the days when i could turn on the radio and hear a song thats actually good

[packernation12]

pillow fight!

[Gravitythief]

This song: sheer awesomeness.

This video: epic fail.

[Squiggy2010]

why does he want the mousetrap?

[PinkMimosa]

b/c he misses everything. Including it.

[Edchick28]

You are a complete idiot deal with it.  I still don't understand what your problem is with Ed. Ed is not the asshole in this equation you are!!!!

[kepr1]

it is a great song that really captures the feeling that you have thinking back about your old apartment....those days when you're just starting out, when things were young, new and fresh....when you had no idea what you were really doing, but the innocence in that made everything seem so great.....great song BnL

[CoolConejo]

@kepr1 Im there! ahhhhhh

[psteelers1288]

im having an eargasm

[GasMaskedMidget]

I know youtube commenters say this all the time to get into the top comments, but GODDAMN how could anyone give this a thumbs down?!

[craizedkiller69]

this is simply orgasmic

[kittiepurry23]

O.o this makes me sad. i want my old apartment back.

[Stryder94]

When I hear "I want them back, this is where we used to live" It makes me want the 90's back, it's where I felt I lived.

[supraownsany91]

@Stryder94 totally true man. The 90's were great.

[AbuBishir]

@supraownsany91 Hot Tub Time Machine!

[jibege34]

How does this not have more views???????

[Gtlgrid]

all bnl music videos should get 3,000,000 views like one week

[asecooper222]

@Gtlgrid IT'S BEEN...

[kepr1]

@asecooper222 one week

[chaos11394]

Everybody like Pilot853's comment cause i am pretty sure he is a fag

[Pilot853]

Only fags get the highest thumbs up.

[dar7178]

Dude this is so TRUE starting life over is funny you always look back and just laugh

[jrfan07]

[craizedkiller69]

@jrfan07 yeah

[HUDGOTINC]

@jrfan07 Yes on every play!

[ason81]

If you can't tell from this video that the lead singer is a coke-head ... ?!?

[NorbertMcStyle]

Thumbs up if you got to this video reading Steven Page's criminal record.

[whitiedave]

has anyone ever broken into they're old apartment? personally i have way to many bad memory's to deal with, i don't think i could handle it..........

[dickcheney6]

They keep saying they "broke into" the apartment-but at 0:15, you see the door open all by itself?

[bphillipps]

@birdmantd - If you were sent from the future, you're here in 2011.

I'm guessing it's time lag causing temporary confusion. I'll forgive you. THIS TIME.

[ichi6miki]

This song reminds me of the days when I bought Power Mac OS 8 and started to use Quick Time.

Thank you Steve Jobs.

[MegaMogili]

@birdmantd dont be silly, the worlds gonna end in 2012 stupid!

[bkanachki]

@MegaMogili Fuck you!

[Sackobooks]

One does not simply break into the old apartment into Mordor.

[emyy420]

@Sackobooks lmao obviously one does :P

[mephistofleas]

@CameramaDingDang Danforth is a major street in the east of Toronto. At least one of the BNL lives around there. "The Danforth" would probably mean around Greek Town/Riverdale, which ain't cheap!

[bkanachki]

@mephistofleas Steven Page lives there.

[Sweetx0xCheeks111]

@mephistofleas

yah.. from scarborough..

[mephistofleas]

How one can go from "broke and hungry" in a crummy apartment in the West End to buying an "old house on the Danforth" is beyond me... lovely fairy tale, this song...

[CameramaDingDang]

@mephistofleas Danforth a river?

[Squiggy2010]

I'd trade a thousand Nickelbacks for another BNL, Arcade fire, etc.

[MyPiNKCooKieS]

i love the way he sings this song :D

[DeuceH2]

Dear Canada,

This, then Justin Bieber? You punks.

From,

America.

[ZakkandtheJ]

@DeuceH2 I think all of Canada thinks that

[ThatFailedAbortion]

@DeuceH2 See we gave Justin Beiber and Drake so we could keep music like Shad, Tokyo Police Club adn this. Yeah... we're lil' greedy bastards :]

[JCDameano]

so the song is about a violent b&e committed in the name of nostalgia.....the video ruined the song for me......

[pzkphw]

@JCDameano Before the video I thought the song was about a divorced guy who went back to his old apartment to terrorize the ex.

[Pilot853]

I love bnl. Favorite classic rock band

[mjbab73]

@Pilot853 "Classic"? ..Damn I'm old!

[johnandelizabth]

When I first heard this song, I thought it was Warren Zevon. Then I heard who it was, I was Impressed. Great tune!

[GFYSTWICE]

i was born in 1994 and have this song in my head since i was 2...do the math

[theboss14516]

FOR THOSE OF U WHO DONT KNOW...OR R TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER...THIS SONG CAME OUT IN 1996...SO ITS BEEN AROUND...AND AROUND...AND AROUND LONG BEFORE IT WAS ON YOU TUBE

[0Takemeaway0]

[katienels]

All the comments below about thumbs up because they don't like thumbs up got no thumbs up.

Fail.

[LetsTakeArideOut]

★★★★★

[PapaCzu1990]

y do people say this is the 90s when it came out in 2005?

[irurwurst]

@PapaCzu1990

Not sure, but I think the band started in the 90s. And the style is 90s.

[rcdraco]

@PapaCzu1990

Because we didn't have youtube in the 1990's you idiot.

[PapaCzu1990]

@rcdraco no im pretty sure this came out in 2005

[rcdraco]

@PapaCzu1990

en.wikipedia.---/wiki/ The_Old_Apartment

They haven't recorded a new song in years.

[theboss14516]

@PapaCzu1990 this song actually came out in 1996...on their cd called Born On a Pirateship...

[theboss14516]

@PapaCzu1990 ppl say it came out in the 90s bc it did! It was one of my favorite songs when i was in high school...and i graduated in 2001 so...IT IS NOT FROM 2005!

[basicallyimcute]

@PapaCzu1990 LMAO you need help

[hch151]

Steven Page may have done Cocaine, but they were way better with him fronting the group.

[metroretrokicks]

I'm watching this in 1011 - I can see into the future. Some guy named Obama took care of some guy named Osama Hmmmm.....Strange world.

[NetworkTheVideo]

@metroretrokicks hahaha thats the funniest comment ive ever read

[mizcutiepie54]

<3

[joecash5bucks]

12 people dont have an old apartment.

[joecash5bucks]

@joecash5bucks thumbs up if you bought an old house on The Danforth

[shannykm1234]

@joecash5bucks I just did ...

[theglamourlounge]

aaah high school in the 90's

[jnevdmb69]

1998 was a great year.

[ralphyization]

Those dudes HAVE to get back together!! It's like Art without Garfunkel! Lucy without Desi!!Wayne without Shuster??!!!  Get it?

[eragonus]

@ralphyization Not really(about getting it). They still make music, they are just missing one member. They have a new cd coming and I am pretty sure they are on tour right now.

[KeiserMagklaras]

Omg, this is song is written for me, definately.

[EcliipseProductionz]

the barenaked ladies music will never get old <3

[FlyWisconsin]

ENOUG WITH THE ADS.

[FlyWisconsin]

enough w/ the ads.

[alicekeigh]

12 people broke into their own apartments by mistake

[Leability]

Thumbs up if you're watching this in 9,800 B.C.

[Pilot853]

@Leability You're a fag.

[painekiller12]

@Pilot853 your an idiot for useing that term. it not only sparks the argument, but it is offensive to homosexuals.

[matthewchan12]

@painekiller12 hey. they can take a dick, they can take a joke.

[VoughtF4uCorsa1r]

@painekiller12 well, the homosexual community thanks you for such a poignant defense. NO, not really. nice pandering to the PC crowd...phony.

[lizzle4shizzle47]

This video hasn't been working for a few days now. At 0:27 the video stops and won't go any further.

[nikman4561]

Thumbs up if youll be listening to this far beyond 2011

[foja1994]

LOVEEEEEEEE this band.xo

[Vitalitron]

I wish I could go back in time and let them know glow effects look retarded.

[paldepind]

@Vitalitron They actually look pretty god damn kewl!

[xXselfishxbratXx]

1000th like...^_^ xP

[cheesynounou]

This song makes me want to beat my wife

[ChalkBoardBathrooms]

headed up to 1000 oaks to see them next month. really hope for a good steveless show. this will be show #5 for me and i have my fingers crossed.

[jnevdmb69]

Makes me feel 30... A good age to remember them again. We traded HS t-shirts from different schools. I would pay a pretty dime to see them again.

[madman1502]

@jnevdmb69 I saw them last week. I love Barenaked Ladies. They defined the 90s in music.

[TheKrisg]

where are they at today????

[birdmantd]

I'm watching this in 3011. I've been sent from the future to stop stupid comments on Youtube.

[Sylinic]

@birdmantd Win.

[Raquethands]

@birdmantd Awesome!

[fvkasm2x]

This is a great song. I wish you guys would allow embedding. I want to share it with others, but can't.

[SmokinAces182]

saw these guys last night in concert for the 3rd time in my life, and im only 16:D gotta love these guys

[Dannyx33444]

just saw these guys last night. they where great :-D

[qwertrew23]

[piggy501]

Where can I sign up to be a 90's kid?

[zSkaater]

90's Kids FTW :P

[QiaoYanLin]

I am 90's, I am Chinese, but I LOVE this song!

[RoadSodaKing]

The 12 "dislikes" probably never lived in an old apartment.

[canadagirl657]

theres 12 dim wits who don't know taste and 921 people with great taste

[123legodude]

You say Justin Bieber,I say Nickelback

You say Taylor Swift,I say Breaking Benjamin

You say Lady Gaga,I say Evanescence

You say Miley Cyrus,I say Slipknot

You say T-Pain,I say Three Days Grace

You say Emenem,I say Linkin Park

You say Jonas Brother,Isay Green Day

92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop.If you are part of the 8% that still listens to real music, copy and paste this message to 5 other videos. DON'T LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK AND ROLL DIE

[MysticTomatoMusic]

@123legodude wow, you call that real music? you're not part of the some exclusive, elitist group buddy, especially since you spam youtube videos because you're so intolerant of other people's opinions on music.

[joru100]

@123legodude LOL

[auron508]

@123legodude Oh wow, all of those listed are terrible. I'll give you Green Day as I liked some of their early stuff but that's it. Real rock is the Classic stuff. AC/DC, Queen, Rush and so on. REAL Rock and Roll is gone but not forgotten. If this generation could get their heads out of their asses, we'd be set. However, aside from BNL, there aren't too many bands out from the 90s on that are actually good.

[123legodude]

@auron508 oh yea. thats what i think too. but there is one band that i listen too non stop. weezer. theyve been makin music since i was born. im a 90's kid and thats all i ever listen too. well sure maybe cee lo green's one song "fuck you" but thats the most pop i will listen too otherwise im all 90's and modern rock. my sister on the other hand is all pop rap and all that bullshit. that shits all computerized. wheres the emotion? wheres the guitars? and why the fuck is it auto tuned?

[auron508]

@123legodude Weezer isn't bad. I was more or less just generalizing there. This conversation came up at work last week actually. I'm only 23 but I was shocked when a bunch of high school kids had no idea who Led Zeppelin was. We have so much garbage now on not only the radio, but TV as well. Society today has almost no taste.

[123legodude]

@auron508 oh you are absolutely right. i mean im only 17 almost 18 and i love this gold. i listen to zepplin every now and then cum im not that much into that stuff but yea. i love older bands. or even avanged sevenfold or the crash test dummies. great bands. now theres kesha little wayne justin beiver and manly gaga

[auron508]

@123legodude As much as I HATE her music, I have a deep respect for Lady Gaga. She uses no medium to talk to her fans. This is also likely a problem nowadays. Many bands and artists just kinda lose connection to the fans and become corporate machines. Luckily though, stuff like this is cyclical. We're due for a decade or two of great music soon.

[123legodude]

@auron508 well yea thats one up side of her. thats the good part of her i like. but to be honest shes kind of weird with all the implants. but otherwise she has a few good songs but not as good as like bnl. and yea most bands do lose connections. but like weezer i was talking about, they have a few concerts a yr that ppl like you and me get to play in a huge group. its actually really neat. its like they arent even rock stars. but yea. bands need to do more stuff with their fans like weezer

[FlamingBearCub]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooo 90s

[LoverOfMusic120]

My Dad taught me to have a good taste in music. 90's kids Rock!

[loudtowncar]

I remember playing this song in my parents basement on a tennis racket!!!! was climbing the much music countdown.... miss those days....

The Music Lives On!!!!!

[MCraindons]

I will never get sick of BNL, they are my favourite band, and my childhood.

[theowlsarefun]

This song reminds me of the house I grew up in and it makes me so sad. Nostalgia is so powerful.

[oneofthefew82]

#1: This song rocks

#2: All the ageist bullshit was something that we 80's kids fought against when we wanted to listen to great music from the 60's and 70's, so why bitch about young people enjoying great music? Why not celebrate?

#3: This band regardless of Page's departure, is still touring and creating wonderful songs... and and a complete unit, was creating new music into the late 2000's, so I'm not sure where the decade snobbery is coming from.

[555roman555]

i have to tell the people around me theres something in my eye everytime I hear this song,,,,

[RSethTV]

I want them back I want them back This is were we used to live

[halcyon0830]

Happy Canada Day, Happy 144th Birthday Canada.

[x30xSabresFan]

@halcyon0830 You are about a 4 or 5 days late . . .

[halcyon0830]

@x30xSabresFan

Do you even know that Canada Day was yesterday ??

[TheMaddieBanana]

I only looked this up because I remember hearing it on the radio all the time when I was a baby, in the 90s. Nostalgiaaaa.

[super87cole]

STUPID FUCKING ADS!!!!

[bvr324]

isn't it ironic, i was in my apartment in bed with a man and my ex broke into our old apartment while this song was on the radio. the look on his face was priceless, i'll always remember this song just for that reason...

[blackmanelions]

@bvr324 And I will never forgive you for that, you whore. We were still together when I broke in and caught you with him. You said you loved me... I hate you!!! I hate you!!! You broke my heart! Why? You said you loved me... I can't wait to see the look on your face when I break into your new place and break everything inside. I hate you!!! No, I still love you. You said you loved me... Why did you hurt me like that, you whore?! Why?  I fucking hate you!!! Why don't you love me?

[bvr324]

isn't it ironic, i was in my apartment in bed with a man and my ex broke into our old apartment while this song was on the radio. the look on his face was priceless, i'll always remember this song just for that reason

[banannathebrave]

This is my fav BNL song EVERRRRR

[rkmugen]

Ah, reminds me of the day I found the entire Quicktime clip of this vid on the old Mac OS 8 CD...

[bfrey10]

One time I took a shit in an apartment.

[SometimesImEpic]

I really did break into my old apartment. Then I got arrested. The video fails to portray the negative consequences of the B and E.

[CanadienFan101]

@SometimesImEpic Its just an awesome song you don't need to get your panties in a not.

[goodfoot1971]

@SometimesImEpic Dude, this is the funniest comment I've ever read on YT. Well played!!

[moreweirdthanfunny]

@SometimesImEpic your a cunt for thinking that was funny and 78 people are cunts for liking it

[SometimesImEpic]

@moreweirdthanfunny <---Jealous Much



@SometimesImEpic now why would you do a thing like that? property does not honor historical ownership which renders
