[NaomiGower]

GREAT SONG GREAT GUYS! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

[epicawesomesauceguy]

portal 2s glados is/has/was caroline.... coincidence?!?!?!

[dragoon508]

The best thing about jonathan coulton is that if you ever see him live he always is smiling and glad to be there. That is just one of the many differences you see from other artists

[noseyofni]

"im jonathan coulton! these are paul and storm! you are in san fransico! please buy are cds and tee shirts! STOP CLAPPING NOW!" lol

[retsnom92]

BAHH BAHH BAHHH!!!!!

internet just got pwned....

[delithug1138]

was this just a joco/p&s concert or part of a bigger event?

[MrDelmon16]

BEST BAR-SONG EVER.

[roomwithacatinit]

Coulton Carter and Paulie Shore!

[Suzumushi100]

does this guy have a church because i officially want to worship him now

[ShaunCheahKA]

This is the best thing.

Just... the best thing.

[Unit06JAW]

Joco, Paul and Storm never fail to make me smile.

[paranoidude]

Paul and Storm + JoCo?!

I just jizzed my pants

[Garkinane]

To everyone who dislikes any of JoCo's songs, I back hand slap you with a white rubber glove.

[Vadergeek]

@Garkinane What about the ones like "Sibling Rivalry" or "W's Duty"?

[jooncoi]

[CharlesFoxKays]

@jooncoi

Is this on a guitar? Could I possibly learn these chords on an Acoustic?

[DoktorSteflon]

@CharlesFoxKays hey man, the chords are for a guitar the F is unbarred and the #caroline you so caroliney' is actually a G not an F, oh an by the way, Jooncoi was my old account...good luck learnin it dude, its pretty easy an great to get a loud singalong goin!

[CharlesFoxKays]

@DoktorSteflon

thanks so much! I first found out about Joco when a friend played Still Alive, All your brains, and then Code Monkey, then I got curious and found all the other songs, I will NEVER regret the day I found out about Jonathan

[DoktorSteflon]

@CharlesFoxKays i can play his cover of Baby Got Back, Skullcrusher Mountain and Tom Cruise Crazy, all the tabs for those can be found online (and TCC is loads of fun to play!) but now i'm off to learn First of May before May 1st so i can go serenade couples in the park!

[AqworldsLutre]

@DoktorSteflon dont make the 1st may mistake. beleive me, no 10yr old wants to hear about people f**king outdoors

[hudniwow]

JoCo ftw

[BitterNostalgia]

I think this would be a good song to play if you were feeling angry or hurt. It just makes you feel good inside. Screw a sophisticated explanation, it feels good, plain and simple.

[kahnor111]

Who here saw him live at PAX, when he sung this?

[adhesivemedstrip]

@kahnor111 I did. I'm uploading it now (there are other uploads of it now).

[trafficlights1]

normally i hate live songs on youtube - jonathan coulton & paul & storm are the only ppl i know of who can actually make it sound good on the internet ^^

[Noogit1]

It's because people like us, who are fans of this type of music, have enough sense not to go to a concert, and scream the whole time, or sing loud enough to drowned out the band, with our notes that vary between whole and half steps away from where they're supposed to be.

[Vadergeek]

@trafficlights1 I think I know why: JoCo concerts are small and nerdy, so the fans can be very close with surprisingly good cameras.

[trafficlights1]

@Vadergeek

Sounds like my kind of concert!

[VillainousOperative]

@trafficlights1 That's because joco wins at the internet, so he automatically sounds super-awesome when played on it!

[TheFiestyjalapeno]

@trafficlights1 bon iver????

[gunslingerspartan]

@trafficlights1 jason webley... is epic

[icanmakeaname]

No one did the chant =[

[cjwynes]

They did do the "ba ba baa" part. I'm used to the whole chant, but that may just be a midwestern karaoke thing. SF people may be too cool to do it. We'd have to test it out by seeing SF crowds listening to "Family Tradition" by Hank Williams Jr. to see if they just reject audience partici..............PATION out of hand.

[ogranz]

Love how he screams at the end lol

[CocoDaPuf]

Haha, seems like there's some Sox fans in the crowd.

[mikeymandem]

im not really a "fan" person.. but id make an eexception with Jonathan and Paul&Storm anyday ^^

love them all so much!!

[AHPMB]

Wow Coulton can even make a Neil Diamond song sound good.

[Vivitas]

No, Neil Diamond makes Neil Diamond songs sound good. JoCo does it pretty well.

[Osandant]

Jonathan is my music idol :P, i think he hes many good songs, this is good and when i heard it first time i was totally hooked.. but after listening it 20 times it sounds boring xD

[MrMcmancool]

did anyone hear "hey" throughout the vid? at 1:10 and such

[bluestormes]

Yea :P It says videoman probably

[JackoMcW]

not til you pointed it out.

[salvo711]

funny, everyone seems to love this song... I don't think it's THAT good. definitely not his best song, in my opinion.

of course, Jonathan Coulton is a fuckin badass either way. best songwriter ever.

[nite90210]

Not his song, it's Neil Diamond, he did a cover.

[salvo711]

oh, ok... >.> I look pretty stupid now... I never listened to Diamond.

but still, JoCo is awesome :D

[AenarionTheDefender]

I love this song! :D

[nite90210]

Saw him last saturday "Jan - 17th" Best show i've ever seen and he was in this same place lol.

[MacHavok84]

You're so Caaaaroooliiiiineeeeey!

[kingofdumb2012]

PRAISE TO JoCo! and of course Paul and Storm

[headbanger14563]

Give Jonathan Coulton all of your internets.

[Sasuke9Is9Emo]

..Love...This... HARD.

[EricSZ7]

best song ever.

[rockergran]

lots of fun here

[shessohigh]

HE NEEDS TO PLAY THIS AT A SOX GAME.

I think I might explode though.

[Hyperfast]

He plays this at a Sox game, I will explode.

[nite90210]

He needs to get a record deal who could be like literally the greatest song writer ever!

[JonnieZombie]

he doesn't want one. do some research and you'll see what I mean.

[Jediswordfighter]

Its why he does not reccord that he is the best song writter ever :).

[justinss120]

why isn't this guy uber famous lol!

[JonnieZombie]

he is

[ShadowMarth]

Is. In certain circles.

[Jediswordfighter]

He is INTERNET FAMOUS!

[SSj5Bob]

Best kind of famous

[Jediswordfighter]

The only kind of famous that matters.

[malmapus]

Man I love the energy at his concerts, even all jet lagged in Atlanta this year he rocked =D

[briebeaz]

This is just genius.

[WintryCream]

WOW.  This is AWESOME!

... You're so Caroline-y...

[auatarch]

anyone know where I can get this version of this song

[debtmaster]

To auatarch:

Sadly (as it's one of my favorites), JC hasn't made any MP3 versions of this.

[machinimaPhoenix]

You could try and find a bootleg of the concert.

[crowsbeak]

OMG, JoCo does Neil Diamond. I think my auditory association cortex just orgasmed.

[kilo2436]

@crowsbeak you meen your ears?

[7060o0]

37 i think

[uthly2]

Can i ask how old i JC now? I've been wondering 0_o

[almostascone]

He turned 37 a few days ago.

[dapenguinator]

yet another frekin awesome song

go jonathan!

[DogBrainStudios]

I was at that concert with my son and as GREAT as this you have NO IDEA how AMAZING the rest of the show was!

San Francisco says COME BACK LIL' JON!

[dapenguinator]

POWA TO THE SAN FRANSICOIENS!  lol....

[FOCStudios]

I was there! Great show, if u don't know these guys look em up!

[ambug666]

He did this impromptu at the Birchmere a few days before. Glad to see there's a video record of the song.

[OldMountainGorilla]

Yup, his covers are always good and done without making fun of the originals. :)

[Xalagor]

Indeed, but some of them he twist totaly around. I am glad he didn't do it with this as he did with baby got back.

[Xalagor]

Thank you for making such a great cover, without joking with this lovly thingy.
