Joel Plaskett Emergency - Come On Teacher

[snuviddz]

Joel Plaskett - If you weren't raised on Nick Lowe, I'll eat my hat!

[bryalbs]

what a killer song, musically and lyrically.

[MiekaCuddlefish]

He's suchhh a cutie. <3<3<3

[kevindbomb]

Probably my favorite Plaskett song!

[radxtiger]

he looks really cute.... weirdly.

[Squibfire]

i love canadian bands, because you can always count on them to randomly begin singing in french lol

[Velvetdusk09]

I can't find an mp3 download of this song :(

[iSarahearab]

He is amazing. I'm so proud to be from Halifax. I'm also super proud that him and I went to the same high school...at different times. I was at a tiiiny show where he played last night. I got the chance to meet him again and have a nice conversation. He's a sweet guy and I have an immense amount of respect for him.

[JennieRevolver]

lawlz went to the concert monday night, made sure i got to front row n shoved anyone who tried to get me outa there xD

[waitingkt]

He played this tonight in Halifax. It was amazing. He forgot half the lyrics and it was still so good. He just went ahead an improvised :D Great artist.

[WhyDoesSheLoveHim]

Haha, yess!

[mastercfromhalo3]

anyone know where i can find the guitar tabs for this??? bass tabs would be kool too but i mainly play guitar...

[Gabzilla93]

2 people are teachers

[sjsully]

Anyone know if this is filmed at the old Halifax West High School before it was demolished for asbestos?

[damionsipher]

Anyone else ever hear or even have the original Thrush Hermit version of this song?

I have a copy of just the song, though I don't know when the recording was done. I'm guessing an B-Side from one of their later albums?

[jammalrulesall12]

gotta love the little things,

like the white fang graffiti and the 'clueless wonder' and 'true patriot love' tshirts on his "brothers" :P

so genius and sneaky

[mryimmit]

[mrawesome3351]

He reminds me of Jay Smith of Matt Mays and El Torpedo with his hair.

[endbringer1]

[ryju1]

Dude I know that guy who played the princiPAL. Hardcore.

[souprshooter]

Its a good thing I don't have any other brothers!

[Candlepinman]

The only thing cooler than a Gibson RD Artist guitar, is TWO of them, in different finishes.

[zx14redbull]

jesus he actually looks like he should still be in school:P haha

[2322008]

At 1:05 when he slaps his wrist, he does the same move in the Work out Fine and Through and Through and Through video

[EVETS11]

I went to that school.. R.C.I. respect!

[lorideltinarocks123]

He don't lip sing, I was in his new video Through and through and through, and I could here him loud and clear. So I dont know what ur talking about..?

[InuvikPhil]

Notice that Joel never plays the guitar in videos, he just carries it! ha ha

[peacemonger67]

its 2009, videos have become plain stupid for artists like this. imagine jeff tweedy lip syncing into a camera like this? its embarrassing

[wes2277]

you have a better way to make music videos asshole?

[LFZ15]

WELL SAID

[eyepatchplease]

The minimalist chorus is perfect.

[someperson94]

at 13 seconds... get it?

[Insomiak]

boo-YEAH this song is wonderful :) I can't count the times my teachers have assumed I was late becase I was partying, or drinking, or doing some other thing that every single gooddamn teenager does because, yeah, we're totally all the freaking same. Yup. Clones, the lot of us!

//sarcasm. :)

[Velvetdusk09]

He makes a great 30-yr-old looking highschool student.

[Pataflafla24]

[Prairiegirl]

Just saw him live in concert tonight - fabulous - LOVED his music, mad talented!!

[kalidoscopeEyez]

[wheely28]

[LucasJamesHicks]

ya why do you think so?

[lizbotdeluxe]

I cut his high school music teacher's hair one time.

Apparently he was a terrible singer back then.

He didn't say anything about him being particularly brown-nosey, though.

[stewie666666666666]

I like the french in this song.

[thetoddbertuzzi]

[Dragonkrux]

What did you expect when asking people about Canadian music? :S

[itsbojangles]

JPE kicks ass. Reminds me a lot of Franz

[candyflossruins]

He is so good at looking like a highschool student when he's around 30. Et son bouche semble tres kissable.

[NigelMK]

This music vid is a few years old, wasn't 30 when it was made, more like what 25, 27, I'm not correct on which year it was made.

[nothugh]

Well, still. haha
