  • Exploding croch FOR THE WIN

  • Of all the literal videos i've seen this one definitely took the most efforts good job!

  • <3 These types of videos, they are so very entertaining

  • I am a HUGE fan of BNL, ever since I was, as my gramma would say, "knee high to a grasshopper." I remember asking for one of their CDs for Christmas when I was still pretty small, no more than ten or eleven, and having an aunt ask me "Barenaked Ladies? Does your mother let you watch that?!?" LMAO.

  • Yeah so none of these are literal videos. A literal video would be a video that is produced from a track that literally depicts the lyrics. This is a literal song. Semantics FAIL!!!

  • fake...

  • @yoyoyoyoyo205 Youuuuuuur gay ;)

  • I'm a tell u tha truth u got some balls to do a fast lit vid I know dust is orignator but u just created a hybrid of lit vids that's a speed song good job u got it

  • Awesome

  • "Brunettes from heck do a pantomime" always gets me. xD

  • Mind = Blown.........over 9000 times

  • Excellent! That's a very hard song to parody but you pulled it off.

  • LOL at the bit about the missing rebel flag. :)

  • did you guys notic that guy (jim?) had a bag of fruit when they were running

  • did you guys notic that guy (jim?) had a bag of fruit

  • FUKCIN AWESOME!

  • That was sweet!

  • This is amazing.

  • This is pretty awesome. Sadly I was so busy reading the subtitles I couldn't really follow the video xD oh the irony

  • I would say this is one of the best literal videos. Difficult material, expertly executed. +12 internet points to you, sir.

  • COOL! man u gotta see my literal version of a parody of One Week (?) Have a look:>

    ONE WEEK PARODY: Check it out!

    Triple M Sydney Australia

    ~ Bare Naked Ladies One Week/Club Veg PARODY 26/05/11

    Triple M fan Kurt put together this cool tribute to Club Veg's Wanker Song... check it out let Kurt know what you think... You Tube Channel: kurthf74 Title:

    The Wanker Song: Club Veg.. NEW FILMCLIP! 2011 Now with literal slideshow..

  • This is fantastic. "One Week" certainly has a difficult tempo to keep up with, but you did so wonderfully. :)

  • I loved this! Another brilliant one - go you! Keep it up, your public awaits! :-)

  • I can't listen to this song and not sing your lyrics

  • I love you.

  • That's the six flags bus! :D

  • Man you're brilliant.

  • This...this was brilliant! Kept time, made sense, all of it rhymed and was just terrific! ^_^

  • It's so fast, omg, I had to watch it a coupla times just to get all the jokes! Great job--incredible actually!

  • I was not expecting this. But I am so glad it's what I got. I laughed so effing hard!

  • I know someone who looks like the funny guy in your kaleidoscope! xD

  • This is incredibly epic. I am honestly impressed that you managed to rhyme the entire way. When I was little, I really liked this song, but was sad the music video had nothing to do with the song. Now I'm glad it was so weird ;)

    "I didn't expect angels!"

  • im in the shot, in the shot, now im not <-----LOL

  • I'm speechless. Great. Just great.

  • don't want to offend our black friends-LOL!!!

  • Oh, awesome. I really, really liked how you change from present to future tense and back to keep up with the fast cuts and dissolves.

  • Incredible job. I love your videos and haven't commented before now, but this video is one of my favorites. It's also an example of creativity through parody--not always an easy thing, plus your true appreciation for all these songs and artists, not to mention your gift for comedy, writing and mimicry. Now that's talent!

  • perfect. thumbs up

  • there's a lot of crap attempts at literal music video's out there.. this isn't one of them. great job!

  • "Kevin's not in half the shots because he had to pee" lol nice. Sadly, I know why he wasn't in many shots, but that's not the point.

    This video was absolutely hilarious, and you are amazing. Thank you so much for posting this! Made my day.

  • @koolkat104 I've said it before, and I'll say it again: In my world, nobody gets cancer. (They just have to pee a lot, LOL!) Thankfully, despite my past pessimism (re: celebrities vs. cancer), Kevin whipped it. Whipped it good.

  • @dascottjr hahaha yes, yes he did.

  • @koolkat104 why isnt Kevin in the shot

  • @ReeceyO2k11 During the shooting of this video, Kevin was being taken back and forth to the hospital for chemotherapy. He had quite the blast of cancer. I'm pretty sure that's why he wasn't there.

  • Got to say you are an absolute genius!!! The highlight of my Christmas was watching these literal version videos with my sisters, and I am just now realizing that you alone are responsible for having by far the best ones out there...watched this one 5 times in a row just now and am guessing it will take many more views to be able to grasp all the awesomeness in every little detail...how in the hell can someone be so talented as to better an already clever and catchy song so perfectly??

  • that sounded good. It was hard to read the words and watch the video at the same time because they sing so fast in this song.

  • Bravo..def one of the best out there!

  • You're really talented and you put a lot of effort into your videos, it definitely shows. Thank you for making me laugh.

  • great vid man!

  • While the girl in the purple dress hyperventilates....

    Lol

  • THE best literal video EVER!

  • This is by FAR my favorite literal video! SO under rated.

  • Fantastic lyrics- its a hard song in the first place. "Zip up your boobs, they're distracting me" hahaha

  • why are you not famous yet? I love your literal versions MY Fav is Hooked on Feeling. 1st one I saw and Loved it. True Genius!

  • The birds chirping at the end was the funniest part! Where do you come up stuff like that!?

  • Holy S your words were great! I loved that they rhymed too! Way to take the time and make a really good literal video! :-)

  • "Weird Al" Yankovic has some serious competition!

  • 25 peoples' crotches exploded while watching this video

  • haha - this is great, very funny. You should do a literal version of a video that takes itself very seriously "From Yesterday" by 30 seconds to Mars (or any of their clips) :P

  • easily the best literal music video ever made

  • kevin smiles while the rest seem indifferent

  • @dascottjr i love you...in a crazy fan kind of way :)

  • Kudos man...that was pretty legit

  • As if this song and video weren't weird enough already.

    This clearly took a lot of work, so great job! I'm still laughing!

  • Holy Crap did u come up with this? so funny!

  • i XD'ed when he sade:LADIES SED OFF MY EXPLODING CROCH KA-BOOM

  • Keep the camera going left while I stare at you hahahaha! And the part when you go that hurt and we're synchornized was awesome

  • Another success! I've been sharing your work with friends.

  • I have watched all the ' literal ' videos and in my opinion this is the best by far.... Job well done...!!!

  • That is so awesome! Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why didn't they give Kevin his own car?! How rude!

  • did you have to research the names of the barenaked ladies or did you already know them? i only know the lead singers' names

  • @okonh0wp I've been a fan for years, mainly the past 12, though I've been listening to them since the Yellow Tape days.

  • @dascottjr Ur a genius , how long did it take to re-write the song?

  • @dascottjr

    My wife did sound for them for part of the "Gordon" tour. One of her favorite memories was the reaction of Rochester, NY to a bunch of, then, overweight guys rocking out to "Fight the Power". When all out confusion turns to bliss it makes for a powerful dive bar experience. May have to go dig up the yellow cassette, although I am loath to play it in case my tape deck eats it.

  • @lesterclaypool1 There are some decent captures of the Yellow Tape out there, and four of the five tracks did come out on CD for a while. The harder one to find/replace would be Buck Naked, which I'm still waiting for someone online to make an upgraded transfer of (sans excessive noise reduction). Collectors can be stingy, though....

  • very nice work on the lyrics!

  • "Without the flag so we don't offend our black friends." Niiiice!

  • I might as well be texting!

  • respect

  • Why DID they let Heidi Montag wear an angel suit????

    LOL I must have watched this 1000 times by now.

  • What's really funny is that this version makes more sense than the real one.

  • Very funny and showed off some impressive re-writing and singing skills. Not a surprise considering dascottjr's other literals.

  • This video is a derivative work or art. The lyrics are just great. One of the best literal videos that I have seen. This one and Billie Jean video are classics of the genre.

  • How'd you get the background audio without the vocals?

    Anyway, great job!

  • @nintendork64 It was difficult to get a version without any vocals. Their videos DVD has a Rom feature that lets you record your own vocals (instead of Steve's) onto this song. The problem is that it only plays the instrumental for you one line at a time. I had to record the instrumental bit by bit, (with a separate program) then piece it together. If that sounds complicated and confusing, I guarantee you that it was actually MORE complicated and MORE confusing than what I just described! :-)

  • @dascottjr Couldn't you just find a karaokee version of the song?

  • @DistortIncorporated All the karaoke versions I found had backing vocals, which would have seriously clashed with what I was singing. Also, being able to reconstruct BNL's actual backing track not only ensured that I could sync it up to the original video, but also provided me with a nice BNL audio rarity for my collection. :)

  • @dascottjr Bravo and thanks!

  • @dascottjr Odd. There are karaoke tracks of this out there; a friend of mine sings it (I'm not up to it :-). This is probably the best demonstration yet that your songwriting job is actually *harder* than that of the original writers -- they only wanted to make their own point... you have to make that of the video director, without the luxury of composing the music yourself. Nice work.

  • that was beautifully written.

  • 1:59 buwahahah

  • 2:00 and 2:12 =

  • Kevin's not in half the shots because he was getting leukemia treatment.

    Funny video though. I laughed. I laughed HARD

  • @MrPoundNote In my world, no one gets leukemia.

    Also, pee jokes are funnier than cancer jokes. :)

  • @dascottjr I like fart jokes better.

  • Wow it even rhymed! This was amazing! So funny you are a genius!!!

  • Fantastic, Great job!

    Also noted the faux General Lee has the wrong number on the side.

  • Awsome

  • This is fucking great.

  • what dick van dyke movie is this an omage to?

  • @laughinghystericaly "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". Classic. :)

  • Brunettes from heck! LOL

  • Without a flag so we don't offend our black friends... LMAO!

  • "An overhead shot. It's the faux General Lee again (without its flag, so we don't offend our black friends.)" bahaha

  • "An overhead shot. It's the faux General Lee again (without its flag, so we don't offend our black friends.)" bahaha

  • I apologize if someone already said this, but is the first verse part of the video supposed to be anything like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?? xD

  • ""He likes to play the keyboard one note at a time" - the BNL are funny enough, you've topped them this time!

  • Hahahaha. This one cracks me up all the way through ~ had to watch it again. :D One of the best you've done, I think!!

  • These are all so dense. And almost everything said is hilarious!

    It gets to a point where I don't laugh at all for fear of missing something. Then the second the video stops my head explodes.

  • The first few words enought to make me laught :D

    "it tooooooks 2 peoples to carrin me :D"

    i wasnt stopped to laughning for a while and than "Kaboom"

    real funny :D dont stop laughtning

  • chitty chitty bang bang!!!

  • I was afraid Total Eclipse of the Heart was a one hit wonder from you, but this, my friend, allayed those fears. :D

    Great job!

  • Well done! Awesome job with the lyrics and the singing! :-D

  • General Fucking Lee! Sweet!

  • good job!!!!  very funny!!!!

  • Great job!

  • Lol! I loved this since the song is usually fast and the lyrics are also sung fast, they totally matched and fit in place! Awesome!

  • You're awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • BRILLIANT!

  • aw, jeez! this is too funny! Can't stop laughing! 5 stars1

  • That was impressive. The lyrics even rhymed. haha I kick my own head.

  • hahaha The ladies set off my exploding crotch, KA BOOM! hahah best lyric right there

  • @bassguitarfreek

    you got that so right, that was so funny

  • Honestly say...BEST THING I HAVE SEEN!! lol that was amazing

  • I never noticed in the original music video but he did actually kick himself.

  • freakin awesome. eppiccccc. X3

  • Oh man.....props...you had to write a lot of words and make it make sense to the video...Wow....Good job !!! I love your videos.

  • LOL @ 1:00 "Kung fu pose at them awkwardly from behind"

  • Only issue I have with this song is "How dod we change clothes while we were running. These seventies cars cost a lot of money." Lyrics don't rhyme even though they should.

  • @bhunter007 It's called slant rhyme. Cut him a break, the lyrics are great. :)

  • I agree. The lyrics are fantastic. Except for that one little section. Slant rhyme, whatever. Call it Picasso rhyme if you will, it doesn't rhyme, and therefore, I don't like it.

  • You certainly have a right to your opinion, even though I think you're expecting WAY too much from parody videos.

    For me, it's brilliant all the way. Would've liked to have some commentary during the slo-mo running shot, a la "Dance Sequence" in "Battlefield", but I'm not going to let it ruin the video for me.

  • @cuchelo1 For what it's worth, I could have mumbled the "Chariots of Fire" theme over the instrumental part. I nearly used the actual instrumental, but the keys didn't match. :-)

  • see.. I actually laughed out loud just THINKING about that, and now everytime I watch it, I'll hum it to myself when that part's on. Thanks man!!!

  • That was GREAT OMG!!!!! I cant beleave you made it sound just like the real thing but BETTER and way funny!!! Great job!!!

  • Wow. I mean.... just.... wow. Blew my mind away. And it was hilariosu too! "How did you change clothes while we were running?" and "The ladies set off my exploding crotch."

    You guys deserve to be up there with the College Humour version.

  • I love the original music vid, but I cant stop watching this one. Nice rhymes. 5 stars

  • awesome and funny.

  • lol i like the original version but this is hilarious!

  • nice rhymes! very very nice rhymes!

  • I can't stop watching it! :D

  • Awesome job.

  • That was very well done.

  • awesome literal here 5*

  • I soooo prefer this version over the original! It's hilarious :D

  • hahahaha... man, this is awesome.. thanks!

  • off my exploding crouch

  • Brilliant! Writing, singing, everything, and the rhymes were just SICK! Respect!

  • that was impressive! can't wait for more!

  • this is also really funny u guys rule

  • Wow, that took some mad breath control.  :) Awesome job!

  • "someone should have warned about that tree" NIce dude!

  • "while the girl in the purple dress hyperventilates" lol you're talented

  • epic.

  • This was the BEST Literal video I have ever seen. Plus the words were awesome!If there was an award to give you would walk away with a dozen of them. Well done!

  • This vid is one of your absolute best, together with Meat Loaf. Total Eclipse... and Jingle Bell Rock. You're getting more and more fans here in Sweden! :) Thanks for the laughs!

  • This, your penny lane and your meatloaf are amazing!

  • I can't believe how much your vocals sound like BNL! Holy Sh*t!!! I'm agog.

  • That was EPIC!!! You are brilliant...

  • I showed this to my mom and she wants to know if you've won any awards. she won't stop talking about how great these are!

  • @givenchylover: No, no awards. I've ended up on some Top Ten lists, though. Thank your mom for the kind words. :-)

  • this parody makes me realize how great and like the original even more, NOT because this is bad. But because the music is so good, this is the best dascottjr work. Only a HS marching band can make this song sound bad.

  • @Lightstrikers: I like the original, too. The backing, btw, is actual BNL. It took me a lot of effort to retrieve the backing track from the Barelaked Nadies [sic] DVD, but it was worth it. It's one of my personal fave creations next to Meat Loaf. Thank you for enjoying!

  • This is brilliant it really is. You've kept things so well in time

  • Awesome job. "The ladies set off my exploding crotch" ought to be a T-shirt slogan.

  • How does this not have more views? It's brilliant!

    Requests: Anything by lady gaga

  • @chimaerandi: I posted this the same day as my Pat Benatar one, so maybe that hurt it. I wish it would get more views, too. :,-( Although, at least one of the members has seen and liked it, so that alone made this video worth it. :-) If you still think it needs more hits, I'd suggest sharing with your friends, which is always a good place to start. :-D

    As for Gaga, others have already made two on YouTube already, plus one or FunnyOrDie (Bad Romance). Give 'em a whirl.

  • I've already posted it to my facebook :). Like pretty much all of them you put out.

    As for Gaga, other people may have done her, but we all know you're the king of the literal video. You are the Prada to their Target. So consider it ;)

  • silver devil chicks are HOTT!!!!!! xD

  • wow......wow.......that was freakin impressive

    it was hilarious but i was in shock at well you made it

    AWESOME!!!!!

  • haha that shit takes talent to make up your own words to a song that already exists. I mean it takes talent to write a song anyways but damn man that shit was impressive!

  • EXPLODING CROTCH! XD

    LOL I really love these literal videos, I always sing to the literal version in some literal version songs and people are always wondering why I'm singing the song like that! XD

  • Awesome. One of my favorite literal vids.

  • Once again outstanding sir! "Without the flag so we don't offend our black friends" too damn funny!!

  • Lulz!!

  • 1:05 ROFLMAO. That was a brilliant delivery of that line.
