Marshall Crenshaw - Cynical Girl

[daves4mtb1]

Scary how these lyrics apply to me!

[mantra3000]

Ooh that "good" guitarist in the background bugs me. There's something wrong with people playing louder than the singer.

[Oberg42]

Thank you USA for this man!

[10ccalanarkush]

the stupid flatpicking in the background ruins this for me

[tojinmah]

Could someone post "Calling Out For Love at Crying Time"?

[11xzxzxz]

MC did age OK. Just give him a little longer hair and take off dorky glasses and hat.

I say this because I saw him live not to long ago and I put a wig on his head and broke his glasses and he look fine for 55??

[allclassics]

MC a great musician but did not age well in the looks dept.

[callieland]

i wanna hear "rockin around NYC"

[chriskassel1]

Hate to be cynical, but this recording blows

[laid07]

i hate to be cynical, but you blow and so does this recording

[Interview1998]

Marshall is awesome. He is a great American Treasure. Thank you Jackynjimy again for providing this great clip. I believe that Marshall has a great song or maybe a soundtrack coming for us, maybe for a movie, that would be just perfect. For me Marshall is the personification of pure Americana, a great treasure as you can see. Like Lucinda Williams, you always feel that "They are singing just for you", an identification that you cannot learn as a skill, you just do it. --Cheers

[jackynjimy]

I think his next release will be one of his best. I've heard about four of the songs live.

[denisebrown1956]

beautiful guitar line. good heavens. wish i could hear marshall a bit better, but that guitar line is worth many listens!

[chrisgilroy19]

great song and find denise yet again 1000000* for your taste

[BrianAshleyJones]

This one is my favorite Crenshaw tune.

[nerdbyday]

Pure genius Marshall is....I saw him on this tour in Norfolk Virginia awesome!

[rdb96]

Wish I could make out all the words on this or the original version. Still one of the great pop songs of all time. This guy has it.

[rustyjay1]

Well Im goin out Im goin out lookin for a cynical girl Whos got no use for the real world Im lookin for a cynical girl Well I hate tv Theres gotta be somebody other than me Whos ready to write it off immediately Im lookin for a c.g.

Yeah Ill know right away by the look in her eye.. Im lookin for a c.g.

[jaye230]

..Ah, my theme song......:).....

[MickRenaldo]

How cool is it to get on YouTube and find gems like this! I saw Marshall in concert back in 1982 when "Cynical Girl" was first out. I still have his autograph from that show. Wow... so much time has passed. Good to see he's still rockin'!

[stephers1000]

it NEVER gets old ... Rave On, kid!

[corkpopfrance]

saw him last week on LBi in Jersey playing to a half filled parking lot. Not too many people can move a parking lot. He can. Tell all the kids to buy his records because they are as he is, the real deal.

[bootpig1]

I just bought "This is Easy," his greeatest hits collection and I swear it was the best 12 bucks I've spent all year!

[uwillbe]

Thank you so much for this clip ! I'm glad this man is still making his living performing. So many times talented artists such as Mr. Crenshaw leave the business due to lack of record sales. I love Roots-Rock music so much !

[primosilvano]

Great song writer !!!

[ASunlimited]

Sweet, it really is such a great song.

[zebra437]

Great song! Good stuff

[LyndaHudson]

I love Marshall Crenshaw,and this is one of my favorite songs by him.

[TheKingBuddyHolly]

is this the guy who played buddy holly in the movie la bamba

[LyndaHudson]

Yes he is.That's where I first heard of him.

[mjchmielewski]

Me too...

[dietfacts]

My all-time favorite song! Thanks for posting it. :) You made my day.

[MrStarDotCom]

Yeah... It's what I been missin....
