[emoanarchist96]

@Awesomegamer9

this video is also awsome

[riojas21]

the script is a work of genius

[DorixDoll]

31 people's gnomes and flamingos got stolen

[WeenieForLife]

She kind of reminds me of how Kurt Cobain sang in his 'Heart Shaped Box' video. I absolutely love both of their eccentrically sexy personalities.

[PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

they remind me of the Grinch in this video. <3 :]

[emonicolewhite]

Viggie is gorgeous. Jesus christ it's like... unfair. Your prettiness should be illegal, Brian ><

[MrYaratu]

Did I see a Wonder Woman statue there?

[nickooz17]

Oh Brian!! You're so beautiful!

[antilles27]

My favourite Dresden Dolls video.

[LFCDanny123]

- Can't - stop singing, seriously.

[thesunstartstoset]

Brians jacket is so bitchin

[mestrella89]

ok, Amanda can have my gnomes, as long as I get to keep Brian. Seems like a good trade :)

[TheAtomic1234321]

I love her dancing at 19

[pocketsizepanda]

I Love This Song!!! :DDDD

[amazingsierra]

I wish I had lawn ornaments. I'd be honored to have them stolen by Amanda and Brian. XD

[MorphicNightmare]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!

[TheEmilyraven]

Omg, she stole Gnomeo, Juliet, and Featherstone! 0-0 At least they can be together now...you know, without dying. XD

[dariichen]

@TheEmilyraven :D just saw the movie at a friend's today and had exactly the same thoughts!! x'D

[ice9willENDusall]

Gnoming should be an olympic sport.

[WhyNoApostrophies]

GUNTS :D

[Dimholt13]

[Dextear]

@Dimholt13 CUNTS =D

[liquiddiamonds33]

I've been in love with them since 2005 <3

[Flore2938]

Just got a pink flamingo for my lawn. I hope amanda is never in town....

[Kenderra]

<333 I've been in LOVEEE with them since like 2009 :] soo glad I found them.

[Flore2938]

Best music video I've seen this week.

[SoGDsimple]

[aryllia]

@SoGDsimple Not after Amanda passed by ;)

[mastiloko]

i love amanda

[Jorden1990]

So happy I've seen there last live show <3

[AaronintheGardle]

brian is so hot!

[MagicSomething]

This is fantastic!

[thecyberpunk]

Amanda Palmer is one of the most beautiful women in the world.

[chelmoekilljoy]

@thecyberpunk Yes. She has a more unique, interesting beauty.

[jay112711]

@thecyberpunk ooo i dont know about that

[thecyberpunk]

@jay112711 I'd say your definition of beauty differs from mine then.

[jay112711]

@thecyberpunk moist

[acida17]

You are a socialist cokehead, we know from your clothes

You are a Satanist worshipper, oh, that's evil

You think you're poet, a folksinger, ???

A volleyball player?! you've got to be kidding us all

[MySolitaryDance]

*grabs flamingo* "One plays a satanist worshiper oh it's evil!" LOL

Ah, The Dresden Dolls. . .XD

[KuroKupov2]

favourite dd song ;D

[goldestmean]

actual shit... in a cool way

[patachute]

Lol we steal lawn lights :)

[mardisaurus]

Hottest duo ever.

[mestrella89]

I wish someone could do an amanda palmer hair tutorial. i love her hair in this video

[renlocket]

haha Amanda was so much fun to watch in the video.

[lilaleahg]

I think Amanda's voice sounds different here. Like she's trying too hard.

[jmafiddle]

@lilaleahg I recognize this tone... maybe sick and overworked. (I've been there)

She pulls it off very well, though!! =) I LOVE AMANDA!!!!!!!

[barrelracertrix]

amanda looks really good in a tight sweater XD

[ssingsingdeathhouse]

love it.

[mindgoesblank0]

O_o the video started buffering and amanda looked really in pain...

[ohioasp]

I love Amanda's hat!

[579magic]

lol at 00:58

[ExplodingSnap]

I love this song! "We give them good homes" LOL

[NotMissSunshine]

For the longest time I thought she said "and we hide from the guns".

[videospektejo]

Uncensored ? I don't really see what's censorable here ;-) Cool video, though

[polymphus]

@videospektejo "So we hide from the cunts..." I think is the line.

[haksiel]

I love her lyrics, and her, and her everything, and.. how cozy this band makes me feel. I feel like they aren't too famous because I never see them around (well, before they broke up anyway) and so it's like.. a group of people know of them, and that's all, so it's just more comfortable to me.

[CookieNapper]

Fucking amazing! =] Yet another, brilliant song produced by the Dresden Dolls.

[Noomie90]

To end all disputes about the lyrics, Amanda Palmer wrote in the Virginia Companion:

“The original lyric was “hide from the guns” which I then changed to “cunts” which I decided was too vulgar, so I changed it to “gunts” or “cuns”--whichever I was in the mood for while I was doing the vocal take.”

[Yvanna8906]

great now I want to steal lawn gnomes and flamingos XD im going tonight epic fave XP

[GayGrimReaper]

I totally found a half naked 17 yr old on the street when i went lawn hunting xD

That was a fun call to the police.

[heavymetal4lifez]

can anybody tell me what is this song about? lol

[JoanIsNotTheMaid]

@heavymetal4lifez

Life in her high school. If any specific lyrics are tripping you up, feel free to ask me! This is one of my favorite Palmer/Dresdon sings.

[heavymetal4lifez]

@JoanIsNotTheMaid

thanks! this is definitely my favorite dresden dolls songs too

[Bloodrayn440]

i luv mandy's eyebrows gr8t designs

[zavalael]

Anyone else check out the new evelyn, evelyn record? It was produced by Amanda and I can't stop listening to it!

[FiltheeSepsis]

This makes me extremely happy : )

[Human1league]

That Mercedes is 200% classy.

[MarkArandjus]

My heart roars with joy when I watch a DD video. To me few things have been so perfectly matched on film as Mandy and Viggie ♥

[MeTerryBailey]

hmwas geht den so bin so irgendwie einsam wer mag mit mir schreibn hab auch einige bilder

[bunyipbabe]

this is awesome, and i love brian's new hair =)

[offa66]

very fefreshing

[melissa13malice]

They won't miss those lawn ornaments anyway.

[kd59]

Nothing is crueler than children who come from good homes

[lachie777]

Well i googled the lyrics most of them say guns however quite a few say cunts personally i think its cunts it makes more sense and goes with the uncensored of the clip however Dimholt13 i think you are correct from a certain point of view i think Amanda since she was saying like the "worst" swear word she wanted to cover it up and since cunts sounds like guns when you blend in the ts and to make this more plausible she had the guy with a rifle as if he was going to shoot them

[derebin]

@lachie777

cunts is the uncensored version, guns in the censored

I'm not sure where I read though, but if I remember correctly sometimes she also used "gunts" which is a slang term for fatties who have blended their guts with their cunts. =D all for teh lulz i guess

[lachie777]

@derebin

ahh well that's an interesting slang i haven't heard of before

cheers!

[DawnlessSkys]

I think she said gunts just so guys on youtube would have an argument.

You guys are ruining the fun of the song.

[1oneeyeAnomaly]

Will Absolutely Never Get Sick Of This Band!

[aMEANda]

it's actually "gunts" because one was too harsh and the other wasn't harsh enough.

[Dimholt13]

i listened to it a 1000 times.. and if you would read once the lyrics you would see it makes no sense to say cunts.. you don't seem to knowlegde what reconaissance means. cunts and guns... listen carefully there is a difference...and no T ...Cunts is pronounced very harsh ... and guns squashier.

[Johnnythat1dude]

oh you are dumber than what I posted before. You can't even fucking realize what the song is about or that its an accurate song from her childhood. Kids don't have guns and if they did and shot her then well...she wouldn't be where she is today.

[Lyco499499]

Erm..since when does reconnaissance automaticaly imply the use of guns? Yes, the military, who use guns, have recon missions, but that's where the relevancy of guns stops. The use in this song is their "Recon mission to find lawn ornaments".

noun

1.

the act of reconnoitering.

2.

Military. a search made for useful military information in the field, esp. by examining the ground.

3.

Surveying, Civil Engineering. a general examination or survey of a region, usually followed by a detailed survey.

[Lyco499499]

The lengths of people's stupidity these days never ceases to amaze me. Yes Dimholt13 I mean you. Anyone with ears and an understanding of the English language could tell you its "cunts".

[lanegwyn]

Wow, Kate Bush-esq vocals (not Amanda generally, just here).

[FlyMe2Freedom]

Why would it be the "uncensored version" if it wasn't 'cunts' ?

[Echelonninja]

they also leave out "tampax" (or tampons, or whatever the lyric is) but i can tell you right now...shes not saying "guns" ;p

[Johnnythat1dude]

remember this people its cunts.

[Dimholt13]

use your brain .. of course it's guns

[Johnnythat1dude]

no its not. Are you listening to even what the song is about? She is saying all the kids at school called her weird and were making fun of her, so she hides from the *cunts*, its not like they have guns. You can even hear the t if you listen more to the song.

[Dimholt13]

fuck no... if you would go on a foreign lawn and steal their flamingos and gnomes... people would fucking shoot you off their property ... that's why she means : hide from the guns ... even in the video its obvious ...you see them doing it at night ...!

[Johnnythat1dude]

the video doesn't show shit of what the song means. A lot of artists have videos that don't show what the song means. Amanda Palmer loves to have songs on how horrible her childhood is and note this is the uncensored version and what other swear words do you hear besides cunts? Use your brain and understand music and the artist. Guns defies the entire song meaning.

[Imogence]

Is it cunts or guns?

[smellslikechildren1]

Fuck Roadrunner!

[lislassi18]

so great

[totalamazingness]

this is amazing!

but i have a question about amandas eyebrows, does she shave them off then paint on that design. it's cool.

[blackwidow1417]

@totalamazingness

yes she shaves them and paints them on

[GoldenGaleStables]

I love Amanda in the patriot hat. And without it, too.

I believe this video was shot primarily around her mom and stepdad's house. Which would, I presume, make the house in this video the same house that she sings of their selling in "Dear Old House that I Grew Up In."

[XxVamireXprincessxX]

they should have gona gnoming lol

[MadFranandfriends]

I wonder if someone is watching this going "Hey! That's my gnome! So that's what happened!"

Truly I love you Amanda.

[Conzillafication]

ah! i just love her voice..

[jmartinez1982nm]

two thumbs up on the song never heard of the dresden dolls til recently and i have to say, they have catchy tunes

[salvonius]

Ah yes... stealing garden gnomes, stealing "FOR SALE" signs and putting them in front of some random nice-looking house... brilliant!

[MichaelinSF]

Frikkin' AWESOME!

I cannot believe the lyrics!

I am going hunting for lawn ornaments tonight! Wish me Luck!

[drummergirl1025]

does it sound a little leeds united-like to anyone else? the singing part?

[StickWarrior]

Love how someone takes a dive at the end.

[StickWarrior]

Yep, I could see Amanda stealing shit from people's lawns.

[haksiel]

@StickWarrior Thaz 'cause you're actually watching her ding so. :P

[StickWarrior]

@haksiel

You're quick.

[haksiel]

@StickWarrior Depends how long ago you posted. *Grins*

[DarkShadowMegadeth]

omg the drummer is hot!! lol

[MichaelinSF]

YES! I have a total crush on the drummer! What is his name, do you know? Is it Brian? This video is so way! I am surprised that many people haven't even heard of them, and I live in San Francisco. Go figure! :)

[jackcoloncancer]

Yeah his name is Brian and she is Amanda and together they rock.

[MichaelinSF]

Hi Jack!

Thanks for the response! Are You Okay? Your screen-name concerned me. My Mom, well, oh, never mind. I am just being overly sensitive. silly stupid me! Merry Christmas! Happy whatever!

[jackcoloncancer]

My screen-name is from Fight Club.

[totalamazingness]

Its brain. :)

he is a really great drummer

did some stuff for Nine inch nails.

and he isss really cute hahaha

[ferret12]

You should check him out when he was in The World/Inferno.

[brianviglione]

<3! :)

[wigginssmith]

ahhhh Amanda is so hot. Brian isn't too far behind himself XD

[CreatureFeatureAutum]

Amanda is beautiful :)

[JoanIsNotTheMaid]

This song is just... wow.

0:36-1:01 = me smiling ear to ear knowing Amanda is more brilliant than all of those cunts' brains put together

2:48-3:14 = fucking beautiful

[DreamerM]

Punk Caberet is FREEDOM!!!

[swanstep]

So good, I can't stand it! Reunion now!

[Falsemessiahh]

I fail to see what should be censored in this video =/

Good song though ^^

[TinyVessels00]

"And we hide from the cunts on our night reconnaissance."

I think it's that line haha.

[lostrent815]

yeah. you're correct. but i didn't think the other video blocked it out..? idk. but yeah. she says cunts.

[Falsemessiahh]

I hear 'guns', but that could be my 'pure and innocent mind' 0:)

[EffinPiss]

It used to be, but now it's "gunts". I'm assuming she changed it for some reason, or was forced to change it.

[PineappleDude]

Yeah, censored? It all looked pretty safe to me.

[enutterbutter]

So we hide from the cunts on the night reconnaisance?

[PineappleDude]

Oh, ha! That makes sense. I should read all the comments before posting. Stupid video page showing only some responses!

[Falsemessiahh]

I think 'guns' would make sense in the context of the lyrics, the only thing that bothers me more then the vocal stopping for a word is if they beep it out xD

[ShenmueAtheist]

she clearly says guns, just look at her mouth when she says it.

[Enchantedivy]

it's "cunts"

[dkingrules666]

oh my god! i didn't know they put this video back on!

[AFPismyhero]

got to see them do this live last year. i hardly remember it though because i was super sick and had saved every dime i had to buy the ticket so i didnt have money for food for 2 days. i only remember they played it because they mentioned how they'd recently filmed this video...

i'd do it again though. it was sooo worth it!

[redcorpse]

Brain is so damn hot in this.

[xMARKerPENSx]

LONG LIVE THE PUNK CABARET!

[WhiteRoseNamine]

Saw her at the Music Box in Hollywood last Tuesday, she was amazing at usual. Cant wait for the D Dolls to start playing together again X3 GO BRIAN AND AMANDA!

[mcrluvuXXX]

amanda palmer has an amazing voice

she just dont no how to use it to its full standerd all the time.

I CUBE THE DRESDEN DOLLS

[mistressabyss]

No, Amanda just has an amazing voice...incase you havn't noticed.

[BrownSugaDreams]

Haha @ stealing the garden gnomes. I have fond memories of doing this myself.

[jimmyaka]

yeah lol what is it that draws us to stealing tiny people with beards?we're no better than the paedos ...

[BeePowerZ]

i love this song , it's beautiful.

:]

[0hollytaylor0]

i need more brian viglione in my life.

[Stopreset77]

argh

ad;fljlgkdg

i love Amanda so much

[soullessgagdoll]

I love it how while she's rocking on her iPod there is somebody creeping around in the background to steal flamingos and gnomes :3

Ftw it's Dark Cabaret, violetpair.

If you want to know a Cabaret band check out Vermillion Lies.

[violetpair]

what type of music is this?

[marilynshampoo]

what kind of question is that?

do you need to be told, so you will know if you like it or not?

[violetpair]

lol, yeah, if it is lot metal i can't like it!!! xD i just asked so i could try to understand a bit about music, i'm a total ignorant at that point (and any other by the way :p) and i was curious cause and wasn't used to listen to this kind of music and i liked it... but i'm sorry if i offended you, it wasn't my intention x)

[bluejulian]

Maybe he/she would like to look up similar music?

[Clockwork672]

They call their style of music "Brechtian punk cabaret", but plain and simple it's just damn good music. If your further interested maybe check out their Wikipedia page.

[lathspellvash]

brechtian punk cabaret

[violetpair]

thanks :)

[dkingrules666]

breichtian (sp?) punk cabaret.

[lindseyr093]

i love this song and band. they're my favorite (:

[kirkhammettprodigy]

i love amanda! shes beautiful and shes great at singing!

[rwillis911]

What a great song, but I love sing a little better. Drsden Dolls <3

[NorthernFox1]

Call me old but after first time hearing reminded me a lot of Siouxsie Sioux.

Enjoyed and searching for more :-)

[Clockwork672]

Her high pitched "Oooo" in the song Guitar Hero always makes me think of Siouxsie Siox :D

[Kentnedland]

Can you really compare Evanescence to Dresden Dolls? I really don't see how. They are not even close to the same tyle of music.

I personally enjoy listening to both of them.

[Tealia]

Brian's got a nice chest.. xD

[KyrieMorris123]

the new lbum is no, virginia, the last one was yes, virginia smart arse

[franskank]

ahahah anyone who compares dresden dolls to evanescence clearly knows nothing whatsoever about music.

people shouldn't be so proud of being ignorant.

[mrmojorisin18]

dresden dolls are way too different from evanescence...obviously dresden dolls are better

[apocalypticahell]

the name of the album is "yes, Virginia", what happened to you??

[cadillacgrillz86]

This sounds absolutely nothing like Evanescence...

[mentalmusicallity]

o.o I like it!

[kejtim07]

This sounds like a cheap Evanescence rip off and is absolute shit.

[bluejulian]

Evanescence? No way.

[Lyco499499]

lol, what?! This sounds NOTHING like Evanescence, I would apreciated the name of your dealer, because his shit must be GOOD!

And cheap HA! Evanescence are saved by Amy Lee's voice, though the songs are sub standard CRAP!
