The Dresden Dolls - Sex Changes (Live @ Pukkelpop)

[Wuvsykins]

It sounds better with the dents.

[axis462]

Is she drunk or something in this video? She keeps hitting bad notes, singing off key, and going off time. It's a credit to Brian that he can cover for it.

[knukleheadmikspaz]

@axis462 nope, that's how she is and it's beautiful. if you want perfection go look at some crappy pop-auto-tuned video.

[axis462]

@knukleheadmikspaz Wow, yeah. The only possible alternative to off-key singing is crappy auto-tuned pop. You're a great thinker.

[DorixDoll]

Hottest most talented band alive...

[Nomming]

Amanda's got a lot better at singing live.

[cannibalbuff3t]

This brings back memories, Sex Changes was the first show they played at the show I was at in Atlanta, they were fantastic. <<33

[gregnishere]

i love this song

[gorboruko]

I was there!!! Just saw the back of my head here=))

[cacamille]

I would be so pumped if they came out & opened with this song, Love this song, love them! 

[MyWORDisntGospel]

As a fan, I'm surprised I've never seen this vid! Even when AP isn't at her best, you just have to look at Brians drum timing and performance...always fun to watch these two, even if they aren't touring together anymore....

[CreatureofMasquerade]

@MyWORDisntGospel they ARE touring back together THIS MONTH :D :D

[Maddiakafidget]

Of course I love you and it's what inside that matters :) funky!

[iLisaYOU]

I wish i can play the piano like Amanda :(

[jamMatther]

brian's hair in this video=my dream haircut.

[PotatotheTraitor]

Amanda is such an inspiration! Mad piano skills! :)

[maksphoto78]

Amanda is so mental! (in a good way)

I love it how just two people on stage can create so much power in sound and performance.

[sage19890]

hehe. i love this band this is one of my favorite songs by them. :D

[ieatsocks33]

Didn't they break up though?

[mikers16]

no. they just do more shows apart than together.

[applemo]

Amanda Want Kill Pixies!

<3

I Love Her T-Shir

x )

[festerlove]

It doesn't matter if they play perfectly or not, but it's their feeling as they play what makes me love them.

[electricbixxh]

sweet shirt, amanda

[Katieafi7]

<3333333333333333333333333

[ClarifyEht]

I LOVE Amanda!! She's so unafraid of what other people think when she performs

[chaotickittie03]

God, they are so fucking amazing!

[lyon90]

i wish they did a concert here in italy... I love them!!

[KalaTarey]

Yea, but you have to admit that the rawness of their early stuff is amazing, possibly better, it's so hard to choose.

[webspaceplaceplacebo]

their 2005 concert in vienna changed my fuckin live

[GodPirate]

probably cause they finally could pay a professional...

[drevil1100]

I wish they'd do a concert in Scotland, they're so awsome! I'd see them a million times!

[featus008]

Fuck, I wish that they would come by Vancouver Island, or even Vancouver would be nice

[summergirl1219]

lol...what did they throw in the beginning?

[flanud]

flowers

[strawberryjam23]

I love the intense passion when she sing and plays.

[julieswahn]

but her voice?

[maddielikesmusic]

of course her voice. its unique!!

[julieswahn]

:) Ok! Hey, There was a vid of them where it began (I think) with them doing "Baby One More Time" and it evolved into where they took off clothing (really!) and had x's on their nippies lol and dressed to look alike. Do you know that performance? I found it fun. Thanks.

[hellokittykid9]

1:15 she laughed for some reason...

[kalemarefrite]

i was there, i didn't know them back then

but man i was blown away they rock!

[milabbjoe10101]

listen to 1:20 hahaha

[tomatotamota]

its a Death to the Pixies T-Shirt... Not the Pixies...

Completely different.

[playswithpassion]

no it's not...it's a compilation CD of Pixies songs...a best-of album.

lol

[antarius46]

I was about to write that until i scrolled right down :)

[druidboy666]

this song reminds me of a friend of mine. a lot.

I love these guys so much

[nickiibeatsworld]

Omg she's wearing a Pixies shirt...I love Amanda even more! XD

[chickencookie49]

It's awesome how they really don't use much editing stuff in the studio; they sound pretty much the same as on the album, though I completely love their live energy.

[KaunisTalvi]

I fucking love their onstage energy!

It's infectious!! Just gives you energy!

=]

Fucking awesome song!

Fuckin IMMENSE Band!

x

[ScribbleDreams]

In a really REALLY weird way...this song reminds me of 'Let Go' by Frou Frou. hm.

[midouespeon]

This seriously rocks!

[yparc]

i'm wearing that same pixies shirt as amanda at the moment :D :D :D

[andongni]

amanda's hot.

[sweetfranx]

she is. I agree ;-)

[sweetfranx]

I love this song! it`s SO true!

[c2bed]

and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow!

[1crayfish2]

alle hoeren joden wat was deze band ontiegelijk goed op lowlands 08

[MarkArandjus]

Love Brian's hair <3

[kellyjeancorbett]

this was alot faster than their cd version.

amanda sang it quite differently too

still love it though <3

[c2bed]

only like 12 seconds shorter, i like it better live, i love how she sings "clock"

[thepurplehouse]

what's with the crowd??

[violetcloud]

This video is amazing!

(p.s. woops! i accidentally spammed someone when trying to reply! sorry!)

[PandasEatingPeople]

the crowd bores me... but i love this song with my heart...

[goodnightlila]

did they throw condoms? haha

[moosemuncher]

amanda's actually pretty hot

[xXHaPpYgOluCkyxX]

Her eyebrows are so cool.

[0xXStarrXx0]

Yes I was there, and it was awsome

[hereandthere42]

Amanda is awesome

[kellersmeller]

yeah i remember this band.

they played at my dad's club in Amherst NH just before they got signed, im glad to see they are doing well.

[ImaMisfitsMonster]

what's the band on her shirt. God I love them :]

[noodleplugerine]

The pixies...

[amazinggxtimess]

are they a really popular band?

or are they a new one?

[loveyrshotgun]

They sound good and thats all you need to care about.

[cadavre69exquis]

the band exsists since 2000 ... and yeah, they are really popular because they fucking rock! :)

LONG LIVE PUNK CABARET!

[montague]

The Pixies.

and no, not new at all.

[orin12345678]

Amazing.

[SophieGawjus]

Awesome.

[volvox69]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[sonicfreak123456789]

coooolll

[BTVSismysavior]

lol she laughs at brian a lot.

[blackbeltwezal]

I love them111 there one of the few bands that sound the good live11111

[veggieburgerfish]

if anyone knows where you can get a midi of this I will be forever indebted. Or sheet music

[dcman23]

please ignore my repetative comment about the speed it did not show correctly on my computer so i kept adding it because it did not show after i refreshed the page.

[wrnchhead76]

Furthermore, WTF is "a snail's paste"? I'm sure you mean, a snail's pace...

[BTVSismysavior]

ew...snail paste...

[underprog]

The dresden dolls or the white stripes?

[limm111]

The dresden dolls, that is a stupid question

[Jables626]

Anyone can cover Dresden Dolls songs...and it's perfectly ok. But in my opinion noone could ever capture the energy Brian and Amanda share on and offstage.

[setanta75]

I sometimes wonder if Amanda is a post op TS

[soldierdifortuna2]

I wonder that too. I'm not sure why this got negative comments. It's not like being transsexual is bad. I could see it, based on some of their other music, so I had a fun moment when I found this song.

If she is, or if she isn't, it's still good, deep music. *nod*

[knarffit]

so dont go saying its just come your attention!!!!

[SpasticSeamonkey]

She's hot. love this song. i love seeing him drum, lol.

[danno700]

This video loads much slower for me than others. Anyone else got this problem?

[treehead26]

yes! im glad im not the only one with that problem! it sucks cause this is such a good song too.

[dcman23]

it loads at a snail paste and it sucks(the amount of time it takes to load is what sucks not the song)

[wjrain3]

God! She rules at piano! And he goes crazy on the drums! Dresdon Dolls rock!

[snaapz]

meh ....

[SophieGawjus]

i love it. LOVE IT

[DiaryofRiderKatelyn]

bloody amazing piece. I'm in love with the piano line. no joke.

[CarowTheDreamer]

Oh how I wish I could've been there...

I was there the next day :(

Already had ticket before they confirmed :(

xx

[MacabreTurtle]

I do believe that's the most clothing I've ever seen her wear live, lol.

[hubbybaby]

and yeah, abortions and pregnancy too :]

[hubbybaby]

its about how sex changes you, all of it is! you just have to listen to the metaphors! at first i thought she says 'we have to chop you cock off' but its not, its clock. but theres a website that explains all of the song, search it on google!

this is my FAVOURITE ONE! xxxx

[z0rxx]

She sings clock like that to make you think it says cock. :) I find a lot of Amanda's music gives shock value first, then true meaning after. But it's always awesome music! =D

[OhNoAHyaena]

I used to think it was "chuck your condom".. I suppose as in the male for the femal condowm or vice versa.

Does this version sound faster than the album to anybody else?

[HotDina810]

some1 nice.

[Niela]

that's just amazing.

[liliakiki]

amazing! come to seattle sometime please~

[Dresdendollsxx]

This song makes me laugh- I have no idea why. Love the opening music to the song.

[bethieflavouredtrash]

I love the dresden dolls. Hopefully , theyll come back and perform in Birmingham again!

[Planetmariam123]

yeah me too, dying to see them!

[andr123w]

love the pixies shirt!

[XxXBoohBahXxX]

i love how she laughs in the middle of a song XD

awesomenesssssssssssss

[bakabakaBUU]

XD this song is adorable.

[fidelfunnashanku]

the idea that "clock" is meant to sound like "cock" makes no sense since this song is not about a SEX CHANGE. it's about the way sex CHANGES your life. if it were about sex changes, it would be titled 'sex change'. perhaps you should look it up a bit more and get a feel for the lyrics.

[WilliamTheLord]

No dude, you need to look more at the lyrics. It's clearly about someone who's gonna get his sex changed but he's not really that sure about his decision

[pumpkin0192]

Parts of it are clearly about a man getting a sex change. Other parts are clearly about other ways that sex can CHANGE your life (one of the most prominent of these is an abortion - "you get more than you're asking for without the right protection").

[smellslikechildren1]

No, it's about both.

[Jessicathecrazyone]

it has a double meaning, just like most of their songs do

[calebzia]

they just keep getting better and better

[putolmaster]

cock

[Danielaway]

i just love her...

[gofastant]

If their lyrics are controversal, would it not make sense to advertise nice lyrics to avoid an advisory lyrics sticker and reduced sales from mom and dad?

[alansubtext]

well i think its all about freedom...they can write thier own songs and when i write songs, i dont pay attention to whats going to sell and whats going to keep the majority happy...i cant really speak for them, but i think they do such controversial lyrics because its what they enjoy doing despite the fact that some people are going to be offended

[rjbrose]

i want to have sex with their music- it's genius!

[cybercunt]

Its only Because Amanda doesn't always Remember her lyrics so she just goes with it. =]

because shes a Goddess like that

[missunderestimated]

they change up their lyrics alot...

varying in versions from recorded to live.

or at least the used to. ;/

[Leksa512]

beeee

[iamThespian]

I thought by the title, I wouldn't like this song. But I think it's my favorite. I love the "clock off! tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock."

[sheen0071]

its actually cock off.... i believe

[iamThespian]

No it's clock, but it's meant to sound like cock. Check the lyrics on their website.

[lavimdida]

In the uncensored versions, she does say cock. When she needs to censor it live, she most definitely says "clock", and even puts an emphasis on the 'l'.

[uwevercouter]

I was there

ASS KICKING GREAT

like it or love it

[ledh]

I was there, and it nearly made me cry, it was so great... fantastic performers, the both of them!

[cybercunt]

Amanda Palmer + Brian viglione

Are Amazing.

[xxpanixer]

OMG!

You guys are AMAZING!

PLEASE! Come to Seattle!

PLEASE!!!

[DoItYourSelfMyFriend]

des ist echt cool!

[runningforamsterdam]

flowwers

[TwistedMemories]

She's so wonderful when she smile *_*

[sillylittlegoo]

I love this video.

Most favoritest evurrr.

Amanda is gorgeous.

[2keuss]

Franchement comme on pourrai le dire vulgairement, ça déchire !!

Un son unique, prenant, simplement GENIAL...

GREAT !

[trashhook]

Definitely a pair of gifted artists who are very good at what they do. Good to have venues like youtube and satellite radio (left of center is my favorite) for them to obtain exposure or I probably would have never heard of them (let along bought their last two CD's). Terrestrial Radio just doesn't do it! (Or as Howard Stern likes to call it Testicle Radio)

[Babychicke]

Can you say fucking amazing.

Please come to CT I'd love to see you live.

[Angstsemblet]

Cool, I've got the same t-shirt as Palmer.

Too bad I didn't get the chance to see them on this tour, but caught them at Roskilde Festival 2005.

Hope they'll come to Norway some day.

[thereb102]

wow her voice is deeper here than it usually sounds... i like it even better

[clac]

i just want another dresden dolls dvd!!

[trickmast]

so good!

[runningforamsterdam]

she makes really coool noises when she plays

this is so awesome!

[Bzzzzzapkaplooie]

This has become one of my top three favorite live songs of The Dresden Dolls. But I'd love this video tons more if the volume was just a tad higher. :)

[montenegro123]

ooooh, the dresden dolls and the pixies... . . .. best bands evr ..

[mcmarille]

i love it

its a great video

man

its even as great as in realty

but

aah i have to go to every other concert whihc is near my area ( even germany is quite far away) ah

who cares

I LOVED EVERY SECOND

i love it

just love it

[pingurose]

What did they throw into the crowd?

[frantiek]

i was there! that was the best show of the festival!

[contrapposto]

FUCKING ENERGY.
