Dandy Warhols - Little Drummer Boy

[minicooper114]

good version of the song, with the added extra visuals (hahahaha).

[zOMGLaserGunzPewPew]

The guy who sings is beautiful.

[bikemechanic100]

Not the Stone Roses by a country mile, but still one of my favourite bands.

[jerryrigging]

great post thanks

[jimmyr53]

Oh My new favorite way to sing this song...

[h879xx]

this blows

[machinesbreathe]

@h879xx No. You happen to be the one that blows.

[h879xx]

@machinesbreathe this sucks

[WolcottOakTree]

The dancing boy is now a Republican congressman.

[melismatica]

this has been my favorite rock version of this song since it came out...and i think the guy dancing around in his jockies is cute. i

[RNC200707]

Brilliant take on the original

[OMGItsTarzan]

THe ALMOST did it better. you decide..

watch?v=MNRMSdKcaTA

[psychocreep73]

@OMGItsTarzan Totally agree.

[comedian618]

Dear Santa, Please shove some new boxers in freak boy's stocking this year instead of crack and coal. Please do us that favor!

God blessed!

[martinealicelena]

today i feel nto well and i see this video to feel better .. better better pa pa pa pa pa pa

love you pa pa pa pa

[schoolybear1]

Is this really the 'official' vid, or just parts of it with the blue haired fag added in?

[schoolybear1]

@schoolybear1 ok got my answer.. disregard! It'd be a whole lot better with a girl dancing, though doh!

[gbanni57]

I wish they would have played this song at their concert in Houston this last year.

[rockongirl80]

i love courtney's lips when he says 'pa pa pa pa pa' ...so kissable ^^

[Caydn]

lmao

[boobtoob777]

The guy dancing in the video is our fellow Portlander and friend of the Dandy Warhols, Jeffrey Wonderful. They made the video as a spoof and asked Jeffrey to dance around adlib and he did it...for free even. He was 19 when the video was made.

Watch the Dandy Warhols' first MTV video "The Dandy Warhols' T.V. Theme Song" from their debut LP "Dandys Rule, OK?" and you'll see Jeffrey Wonderful in that video, too. Age 17<.

[journojones]

It's a good cover. Keeps the spirit. The dancing guy is obviously a well-intended joke. Dandy Warhols continue to break new ground. Song only has four cords or something. Where's the bass?

[7klicksout]

@boobtoob777 u know everyone dogs this guy in his underware, but I say he has balls!! He can and will look back on this and say I f---ing did it and it was cool! No holds bar!!! Good for you baby....Go

[KillaBagga]

@7klicksout obviously he has balls, i mean- they're *right there*

[Twexcom]

I think that this is an acceptable cover, but, I do not like the man dancing in his underwear.

[vintagezigg]

Good cover by a great band, but the douchebag in his underoos kills the fuckin' video

[pessimystica]

@vintagezigg - no kidding... that's the only reason i don't post it on my Myfacester pages, heh

[ambiguityxx]

ahahah the bomb

[doody1414]

The little drummer boy is a stupid song.. but the dandy warhols actually make it sound good

[MichaelinSF]

I think the pimpley faced youth in womens underpants make the song!

Simply delicious!

I frikkin' LOVE these guys

[MichaelinSF]

Sorry Folks, this is an awsome cover by an awesome band. It doesn't get much better than this, period.

The END!

[belsnickles]

They brought down the house with this song last night at Neumos in Seattle. It was the hippest ever makeover of a Christmas song, probably in history. They rock.

[69Animal69]

If they had Cowbell it would be perfect.

[69Animal69]

Good tambourine playing! .

[hipharpy]

I like the song and have been searching high and low for a version where the artist hasn't gone overboard with 'sincerity' and emotion. At last...

[ashemgold]

Oh, no they didn't!

Ever feel you're just walkin' round the web and you step in a huge pile of cyber-poo?

Well, this was it!

[pagoda112]

why does the dandy's have to have such cool songs back then haha.

[MrsEssence]

I think I can love this song for the first time ever--thank you, magical undie-elf!

[ancientage1]

it sucks

[KristinaBrooker]

Rock and Roll the meaning:

-React

-pen is position opinion (marriage rank)

(income, laugh, prof kid, bit00)

Ans: SAFE ENGINEERING

use functions for distribution -to graph x=defined y=expectation question (maple)

[zakfmt]

is his tramp stamp the bsg emblem?

[TheAcesofJokers]

HAHAHAHAHA

[Drownrats]

Merry, merry Christmas.

[rollinheightballas]

I would bitch slap him so hard...........

[geoabe302]

I think that goof is wearing depends...not undies!

[rollinheightballas]

Did they paid the undie guy in drugs?

[gehemiks]

I also think so. But they shouldn´t have given him the stuff before shooting the video.

Anyway, if they would have paid him cash, the money would have been invested in drugs anyway and not for new undies.

[pagoda112]

no he doesn't do drugs.

[comedian618]

Note to Santa:

Instead of putting crack in freak boy"s stocking this year, give him a new pair of undies.

PS

Please make them boxers this time!

Thanks Santa!

[esmithiii2003]

Indeed!

[m14closerangeSniper]

wish denied! more crack!

[Robbie59]

Weird u_u

[daantjuh15]

the best version of the song

[kabafit83]

fatish boys in pants freak me out

[Parts44]

yea lol thats the reason i looked for the song, because it was on the trailer

[nightmale1]

i like his undies!!!

[nssfns]

did u guys know this was used in an ad for the new movie spirit

[TheKinkyShrink]

link?

[roh1234]

I watched that, I DON'T LIKE EGG ON MY FACE!

[CyelX]

"''Closed minded bigotted christians''?...

you dont even see the irony in those words do you? you yourself are a bigot towards christians...

Do you actually know the first thing about Christ, or real christianity?

How can some long haired hippie carpenter who rode around on a donkey telling people to love one another be bigotted? "

Owned.

[thisistino]

YASS love it

[mrhugefan]

it sucked

[comedian618]

I like the music, but I could do without the freak in in his undies!

Instead of putting acid or crack in his stockings, perhaps Santa should leave him a new pair of undies. Hey Santa, make it some boxers this time.

[monkydood56]

guys, its a song about jesus being born.

you can't make it not religious.

[RNC200707]

A great version of the song but a shame about the video

[NiteRambla]

Just what I always play this time of the year...tuns the amps up...hey...

[iamharken23]

It's a war on Xmas, I tell's ya!

[BirgitMunro]

Oh God Courtney, please reassure me that you have not "got" religion or been "born again". Please no!! This is so super uncool. And please let me never hear Little Drummer Boy ever again in any format.

[rpupkin77]

this is 10 years old

[1Euan]

I dont know if you noticed but he was singing the Religion-free version of the song. "little baby" instead of "Baby Jesus"

I hope that assuaged your fears.

[BirgitMunro]

Many thanks for the info. Tho' the carol, written 1958, just says "Little Baby". It's the problem of a song you fall in love with when you are 10 & sing non-stop for the next 10 years & suddenly realize that if you ever hear it again you will implode. Whereas "Once in Royal David's" is timeless for me.

[Ressy66]

i'll never get sick of this one, its the all time fave xmas song :)

your correct about when it was written and almost with itd lyrics, those trying to say its "baby jesus" are the ones out of touch with the songs originality, written by Kath Davis and Harry Simone, its actually "baby little" ... there have been many pop/rock covers, from Bob Segar, Joan Jett and so on, but this one is by far the absolute very best (though I agree they should lose the idiot in the undies)

[Aaronichi]

You can't religion-free a song about the manger scene. Just accept and enjoy it and don't be a bigot.

[davywankenobi]

At the beginning of the song, he says "our newborn king to see...." Not religion free, but I'll let my Lord judge them for whatever percieved sacrilege, I'm just going to enjoy the twist on the song they've provided and ignore the immature nature of the "diaper boy."

[comedian618]

Gee, what's the little baby's name? Hmmmmm?

[huffelpuf]

no taste at all

[Puppethead2007]

this version spits on the original, its an embarrassment

and as for the video? it just takes a big shit on the original little drummer boy. a dude is in whitey eighties with his bush hanging out dancing to a horrible rendition of the little drummer boy

[leelee003]

take a pill ya downer

[sUnKiStFaCe19]

great version of the song, but that guy needs some pants. tighty whities are the most disterbing things on this planet.

[persecutor8846]

Love the song, but the dude needs some pants. Please!

[yugiohtay]

the song is great but the video not so much.

[janickbraultfortier]

I love it!

[tiofelipe1987]

I will give the song a big 10 but, I will give the video a 0 (it sucks big time!) .

[TyrsKrieger]

Hmm, the Video is a little bit strange (i don't know the Dandy Warhols...), but it's a very good version of Little Drummer Boy. :-)

[yoeme13]

I love the Dandy's!!!!!

Don't like it, don't watch it!!!

[acechadwick]

Now Elena I see what you are saying but apart from the guy in the underpants this is actually a good version.

Let's be honest. It's not exactly a religious song. I mean have you listened to the words?

Ox and lamb kept time??? Now C'mon!

[borovci]

prva liga ,žmajevi ste

[Othniel1989]

Het nummer is FUCKING cool, maar de personages daar en tegen zijn echt veelste lelijk voor een videoclip, echt niet te filmen!

Dit is echt een schendig van auteursrecht!

Het auteursrecht voor te lelijke mensen!

It's true!

[ChocolateManty]

he so hot (MINE)

[benwaddelling]

Man I still LOVE this track... I mean... It's the Dandys!

[benwaddelling]

They've come a LONG way. No doubt.

[ElenaVasparez]

This is an embarrassment to EVERY Christian alive!

[celtriot]

no your a towel

[Getoutofhiswayman]

No every kid touching priest is!

[micredable]

Closed minded, Bigot Christians are an embarrassment to humanity. And represent the exact same thing they stand against. What kind of a god could inspire such hate.

[TheBengalLancer]

A God created by jews who are the true world-wide source of bigotry and hatred. Read online "The Bible View of Slavery" by rabbi Raphall.

[warjunky444]

''Closed minded bigotted christians''?...

you dont even see the irony in those words do you? you yourself are a bigot towards christians...

Do you actually know the first thing about Christ, or real christianity?

How can some long haired hippie carpenter who rode around on a donkey telling people to love one another be bigotted?

[Emyrsaurus]

their first single for capitol, that guy in the santa hat is in dig too.. anyone know who he is/was? friend of the band perhaps?

[jiftupop]

i love you guys

[hollygugl]

wow sounds clean....... hope to hear it air play Xmas time...... pretty good - i understand now why it was my mothers favorite Xmas sound

[FleaIsMyHero]

I love these guys

you could tell they were under budget but hey, it kept me laughing.

I'm in love with this cover.

Once Christmas season rolls around, I know what I'm listening to :)

[thedigits]

it's 1994

[whoaboyo]

Back when the dandys had something to contribute?

[davidpar2]

i don't like the video, but the song & band are very good.

[freakevil08]

omg this is old dandys!!! yeah!!! gotta love em'!!

[DaCorbster]

saw them this december when they came home to portland oregon, since it was that time, they played this song, only one word can describe it...amazing

[nzager]

Art is never funny. It can't make you laugh. If the Mona Lisa makes you frown, then it is in fact "art."

[ixtamaki83]

1995 is old?

[garaapje]

no...

[xtremewithanL]

never

[octopuzi]

que onda los pañales

[Feyisetanmioluwa]

This guy is nothing short of an absolute IDIOT

[multikiwi1]

stereolab i know something original,how about you licking the skids off this blokes panties..

[stereolab22]

How can that be original when you do it with your dad's panties at least once a week

[DaCorbster]

do you feel badass cause you made a shitty reply on youtube? wow, that was real lame

[stereolab22]

damn right i feel bad ass....what about it

[xxxxx2653]

The song is great, but the guy in the video is an ass-clown.

[OMFGchristinaaaa]

i like this.

=]

[stereolab22]

Hum a man wearing panties...how freaking original

[SoMuChRaDdErThAnU]

hahaha i love the song but the vid has like absolutly nothin to do with it..i was like..okay..haha but great song

[ricko1111]

Think...

They reference Andy Warhol in their very name. So the vid has everything to do with the song. If you don't get it you don't get art. Get thee to a museum or gallery.

[KINDOFPERVERT]

ohh pardon us !! you are the greatest connoisser of art.

you should distinguish the REAL art from this TRASH...

By the way..the song is amazing! Loving it

[ricko1111]

Never claimed to be a great connoisser, thus the appeal of Warhol. I merely pointed out the reference for enlightenment.

[KINDOFPERVERT]

weirdo!

[ricko1111]

Ok fair enough. Anyone who truly loves Warhol's work is at least a tad weird (I prefer queer-LOL). It does make you think about what is art and in its time (it is dated now) it shook up/sent up formal art in a much needed way as well as looking at the mass media influences in society.

[KINDOFPERVERT]

oh so philosophical..pedant!

I'm going to tell you what the real art is..:  (Van gogh,Renoir,Velázqez,Goya,Pica­sso,and so on..)'s paintings..

not the incomprenhensible "art" that is common nowadays and that "modern people" (as you) claim to know about.

[ricko1111]

Ah now who is the great connoisseur? Actually to be pedantic most of the art you mention is modern (with a few Romantic names as well). Most of the cheeky contemporary stuff is post-modern.

[ricko1111]

All my heroes are weirdos

[KINDOFPERVERT]

good song but you are not a heroe.

Sorry..

[ricko1111]

I assume you mean I am not a hero not a 'heroe'. Sorry for being pedantic but you started it!

[KINDOFPERVERT]

My English is far away from perfection as you can see..you can try to write in Spanish, maybe I could correct you in some words...who knows..

[ricko1111]

Dear god no way. I am a typical English speaker stuck in one language with two partials under my belt. I can order a beer though.

I hope you understand it's all in good jest and fun - I mean no disrespect or hostility.

[ElenaVasparez]

i think that it is trash (if that's what you're saying ...) it's disgusting to see a song devoted to God being destroyed by these morons and it shames me to see that no one here realized that they were as stupid as they were ...

[gbaune]

was soll der blödmann in dem video ?

[JessiF92]

gute frage xD

[raptorface]

yay! dandys rule!

[Heisomaga]

this is such a horrible video sont they know who the King is i hate it i love the song and hate the video

[VictorL33Ichiban]

This is a really bad song!!! This guy just ruin a master piece

[creari]

OMG Put some clothes on! A good song though

[Santyago1966]

really inspiring specially for this Xmas season !lol

[stephaniezom]

who is the guy dancing in the video?

[raptorface]

a friend. no he's in tv theme song aswell. seems to be resident dandies actor :)

[charlie588]

This video clip was obviously done before the Dandy's got their new drummer. This is rock and roll baby!!!! lol

[TheCama]

Thank You, Dandy Warhols.

[mduff051]

ive worn womens panties since 1965...

[BrandedMonkeyFilms]

this is an awesum song

[nachoulo]

This is a Catholic typical SPANISH song!! WOW!! Good cover!

[nachoulo]

Hey, is your mother in it!! Would like to watch her!!

[Manwhore001]

good song, but uh, the video was interesting.... perhaps less man in panties....

[darlin62us]

nice cover, but damn! they shouldnt have bothered with the video.

[oizephyr14]

haha i remember doing this song in like grade 2 for a christmas concert thing

[cleanquackish]

you know they picked this song b/c Bowie did a cover also.

[21stCenturyCat]

thanks for posting, I didn't even realise they had done this and it's great! :)

[Anumeric8]

i dont know bout dude in his undies, but good song without a doubt

[elalma]

this ROCKS!!! ugh dandy warhols are soooo fucking awesome!!

[LeCamaa]

heeey i just noticed , Courtney plays with a 12-string. i love the 12-stringed sound.

[LeCamaa]

omg the song is magic. hey Dandy Warhols' fans i uploaded videos of them. checkemout.

[blackturtleus]

This is the only decent version of this song that I've heard on YouTube! I just uploaded another decent version of this song!

[jiftupop]

warhols are excellent and this video is just great!this is my favourite christmas song and that is why i love it even more.great,great!!!

[bulababe92]

lmfao....good way to start christmas eh?

[jacu25]

he is so stunning! please call me, i live in london.

[harshtradamus]

just dropped in again to say how great this video/song/the warhols are

[harshtradamus]

this was the peak of their fashion style

[tristanmoay]

"c'était l'apogée de leur style fashion" ???

ce qui ne veut rien dire.

excuse-me harshtradamus but can you argue a little more please??

[harshtradamus]

when they dressed the best and looked the best

[tristanmoay]

Ok, thanks.

I must say I really can't judge, they changed so often !

The style seems so important to them, and they look so different at each time !!

But I think you're right this style is more natural.

[tristanmoay]

Yes tobywoo.

But as the best friend of Dark Vador I must say it's difficult for everyone to begin the career of star.

[funkymartie]

omfg! i love that!

it makes me feel soo happy and realise even more how good the dandys are.

[ElementryPenguin]

my christ christmas songs suck ass! with the acception of the obvious classics.this aint one ot them by any stretch of the imagination.its better than the origional yes(the origional is terrible like)..and yes they made it their own....but it still reeks of sell out,comercial bullshit.love the DW though dont get me wrong.

[tobywoo]

Hmmm...these guys gave me this single on a 6" with cool pics of them in undies and Santa hats when I first saw them. There were about 6 of us at the show in Chico, CA.

[tobywoo]

They didn't have enough cash to rent a hotel so they asked if they could stay at mine. I told them sure, if they bought me beer (18 or 19 at the time) Good times, good times. There was no selling out when they made this video I assure you. They could barely afford gas money between Portland and SF back in the day. Times have certainly changed I'd say.

[erichedford]

Thanks for the crash pad. We appreciated it. This video was after we signed with Capitol Records and done as a promo only. Song was re-recorded for this video, but an earlier version appears on a TK records 7".

[julieswahn]

Nothing says holiday spirit like a video with a goofy dude in tighty-whities with a Santa hat on. But kudos to DWs for funking up a Christmas tune.. nobody/nothing is cooler than DW's. Nothing. Even that guy couldn't mess this up!

[parmenides]

early dandies magic....but somebody should shoot that moving target...
