[Araclain]

No audience interaction!!

[itssaulgoode]

[philontilt]

Why isn't there any reaction from the audience? Did they not get it?

[codern]

this guy has major talent

[964fan]

I guess 261 people don't like big butts. I feel sorry for them.

[EnochMetatron]

The best part is that he keeps a straight face through the entire thing

[Veggie449]

Only JoCo could do this :3

[soccerequalsgay]

[BellBottomBlues07]

Dude, I lost it when the other guys joined in. "Yeah!" "Yeah!" ahahaha

[htownliz74]

If you like this, check out Dynamite Hack's cover of Boyz in the Hood.

[puhnitor]

You can't just stand in the dark playing classical music all day.

[samboy1288]

[EleventyFourMusic]

[JustmeDJC]

Why the hell is breastfeeding ... at 8. related?

[Angus666Young]

[Akayurui]

[Th3N1nj4Xx]

fapfapfap

[Lianfurness]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[cowbertnet]

because he likes big butts and cannot lie :)

[POZTERx]

lmao..thats a great question

cdphatty

[collinpattan]

that is exxactly wat i was think!!

[erootkwu]

@cdphatty ahhaha. no shit i was just noting that.

"breast feeding, hey, what the eff..."

[ZippitDK]

@cdphatty the worst thing about that, is it has 25 million views. now that, is just wong!

[hypatience]

@ZippitDK no, it's wight!!

[xarriluseth]

@cdphatty

"baby"

[CapnIronBeard]

@cdphatty she got back, yo.

[naruto0950]

@cdphatty because the song title has the word baby in it

[sulfurousstench]

@cdphatty it's related to every damn video...youtube corporate brainwashing machine!@

[EvilArco]

@cdphatty  Breasts are always a related video.

[NormalWatches]

so so so good!...

[yeraylao]

Great, amazing cover!!!

[bec735]

awesome

[Vadergeek]

Hmm... the backup isn't as good as in the studio version, and I'm sad about the lack of ukulele, but a great cover anyway.

[rhonan]

@MrMystery999 The correct way to put it is that he is also a talented arranger. He re-arranged the song using folk conventions. Close to what you meant, but it still leaves writing credit with the original artist. Still, he rocks.

[lizie126]

lol

[broozebrothers]

thats great..love this version!!! white boys have to shout!!

[MrMystery999]

Jonathan Coulton is a brilliant songwriter and usually his lyrics are all you really notice....but this proves he has a talent writing music as well as lyrics. I do so enjoy his songs.

[Twizzlah]

Funny, because he didn't really write this song.

[ArmageddonisUnleashe]

He manages to turn a rap song into an (almost) true love song...without changing the lyrics. That, my friends, is talent.

[Sharpevil]

@ArmageddonisUnleashe

Not quite. It sounds like a love song, but the lyrics are still saying.

"Screw white chicks and long term relations. I want to have sex with lots of nice fat asses."

[MoarOfTehRawkege]

@Sharpevil Wait.....that's not love? Where have I been all this time?

[guerson9]

@ArmageddonisUnleashe hahaha she is beast like that!!!

he needs to do it with some other rap, love song.

[Retoru]

@ArmageddonisUnleashe Cuz, that mama has got some back, yo!

[TempestGod]

This so totally counts as an EPIC WIN!

[birthdaycake13]

fuck ah

[blushing1devil]

Uhh...obviously you have no clue who they are....That's what's left of DaVinci's Notebook...and they don't suck...

[HistoryGeek4U]

So much better than Sir Mix-a-Lot's original version.

[ItsTimmayxD]

he has great vocals.

[SirCosmoBonsor]

Timmay!1

[ItsTimmayxD]

????

[madinno]

EPIC!

[NiknJaps]

WOW the crowd sucks ass . COME ON MAAAN ?

[Prahduhgee]

L.A. face with the oakland booty~

[gasb911]

looooool this is going to my favourite

[faithnlove112]

too funny !

[merrett]

Nice to actually hear the lyrics

[enntheta]

Hilarious cover, well played...

[j2jpop]

I'M MAD. HE DIDN'T DO THE BEST PART:

And anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun.

I waited the whole song for that line hahaha.

[MarsJenkar]

He only does two verses live, sadly. He *has* recorded all three though.

[naruto1mil]

ROFL!

[raglefragle5990]

rape back in the days also sucked LOL

[6to4Weeks]

rape has always sucked

[m4lvolio]

not if you're the one doin' the rapin'

[sarahinacan84]

LOL

[ScuicidalGamer]

/agree

[zachXbellXrox]

Nah. Rape is just sex you didn't know you wanted.

[peacan42]

HAHAHAHHAHAHA lol isay its buttsex

[bigfullback31]

wow he jus ruin a good song i hat him now stick to code monkey bitch peace fucker

[Gearhead142]

ummhe dint ruin any good song rape now a days sucks

[Yeorin]

Lol, dumb shit. It's not like he was seriously trying to cover it. It's supposed to be funny because he turned a rap song in to something that almost sounds romantic. You're just butthurt because you probably take the original version too seriously to begin with.

[necridos]

Good song? He made a bad song better o.o

[mao2meow]

This version is way better than the original. I used it for a "campaign video" to get San Jose Sharks fans to vote for an All-Sharks ticket for the 2009 NHL All-Stars. I think it fit very well.

[pegasigirl2010]

My friend told me to listen to this.

It sounded traumatizing to begin with.

And now that I've seen it, I know that it is.

(Albeit good)

[jamoca15]

hes an awesome singer but this song sounds better fast ;3

[benfrenchman]

Isn't this 'Leaving on a Jetplane'?

[JustinSmale]

um no

[benfrenchman]

The melody is similar. Is what I meant.

[siloheaven]

be nice.

i like your name.

[beauwight]

The first verse sure sounds like the guitar from "Jetplane"

[frontliner2]

I love how he is musically a genius and lyrically too ofcourse

[HistoryGeek4U]

I love this so much better than the original!

[DiseasedGandalf1]

He has such a great voice

[RafeAltschuler]

What are the chords to this?!

[dc2587]

C

F

G

Em

Am

[Mumra2]

haha

havent heardnthose often

[docilewalnut]

Gracias. Just tested that out; spot-on.

But do you have any idea what that arpeggiated pattern is? I'm too guitar-dumb to sound it out myself.

[frontliner2]

damn this guy is good live~!

[wmfrenchek]

Its amazing how he can take "I want them real thick and Juicy" and make it sound so nice. JC is the bomb and hes doing some tour dates again so I hope to catch him somewhere nearby

[sethlee0]

La face wit da oakland booty XD

this is sweet poetry =]

[samepstein1]

Pure poetry.

[misslisk]

beautiful

[GhostOfNobody00000]

LOL! thats great xD;

[extradigest]

[hotzauce7]

That was funny and original. I enjoyed that.

[1337Radio]

jonathan coulton is my hero.

[xxthickythickchicxx]

[fashion30mb]

[joementum5]

[BMgrey]

[heatherhellraiser]

[badredah]

[Kekistos]

[peon47]

[ahrimian]

KILL IT! AHH! KILL IT!

[mickeynotmouse]

Dude he left out a verse

[sethtwc]

[Daredarus]

I agree sethtwc. So what?

[LizZuni]

oh that is amazing!

[MVasquez95]

This is the cooliest thang evar.

[MVasquez95]

I love this song. :) <3

[RedDragonSmaug]

this sounds so crazy :P

[slicedman]

When he starts talkin' about the average black man, I lost it. This is great. He's so soothing during the entire thing, which makes it that much better.

[cooljammer00]

this has great production value.

[thomas181818]

that is the bes thing I have seen in a while.

[eternityasifall]

this shits great. i have this on CD, it's great!

[wingard187]

[shadowsmiley]

and thats good ppl!

[phishwithextracheese]

Jonathan Coulton is awesome!!! living proof that geeks can play guitar

[shakespeareanfool]

I love jonathan coulton. So much.

[Venditta]

Definitly my favorite geek-folk artist out there, Still Alive rocks me, so in that way, he is a rock star. Lol, no but seriously, fantastic cover (and shitty crowd) I'd be laughing my ass off if I was there.

[ef1983]

OMG! This is a very good remix of the song-lol.

[toonadict]

dude, this crowd sucks ass... watch the other vids, people wave elctronics and sing and its good fun

[beanofromohio]

hes heralded as a rockstar because in a sarcastic way, just as his songs are a sarcastic approach to music. he is by no means a rockstar in the lifestyle and partying sense but he does have a rather large following in the "geek rock" community

[bluerose14]

Lolzz

[carlo88moe]

this is funny, but i can't see why this guy's on yahoo heralded as a ro0ck star

seriously rockstar is usesd too loosely today

last time there was a "rockstar" he blew his brains out, he wasn't trying to be wry

[UndeadPaladin]

just because someone done it first dosen't make this any less awsome, Gomandizzle.

[gomandizzle]

True, being first doesn't always validate whose version of a song is better - but originality holds more weight. Nevertheless, nuff respect due to JC (not Jesus Christ)for making it happen.

[MCGRIZproductions]

hahahaha lovee it! <3

[luvsknives]

This is great!  I really like this version! Keep it up!

[jodiecox]

OMG that was the most hysterical thing I've seen in a long time! LMMFAO

[december291994]

lmao
