  • Ezequiel de Santa Fe? Jaja, si alguna vez por esas casualidades llegás a leer esto avisame

  • Awesome. Bobcat Goldthwait giving taxi rides to people.

  • the video is nice but the sound is cooler

  • TUUUUUUNNNNNEEEE

  • Saved to your playlist.

  • best music video ever !!!

  • 人間タクシー最高!!

  • i wanna shirt that says taxi....to c how many ppl would actually jump on my back and ask for a ride. haha!

  • NYC has a bad enough litter problem without Badly Drawn Boy contributing his soft drink cups to the mess before he grabs his first fare. Travis Bickle wouldn't approve. But apparently one day a real rain will come and wash all the trash from the sidewalk.

    So, I suppose it's okay.

  • I like the trippy part from 3.32 til the end. Truly majestic!

  • Do you remember when someone stole his hat?

  • eat that Scorsese

  • This is such an ancient video but its still the best video ever, prob cos the song is awesome though.

  • My dear, dear fellow, your Badly Drawn Boy fantasy shows you to be a little man with an extremely vivid imagination. Take your gift onto the streets, become a raconteur! Enlighten the proletariet with your tales of debasement and your wicked, reluctant enjoyment in your own humiliation. Tell me how you get on. I myself happened upon Mr. Badly Drawn Boy esq. in a Dublin nightclub but alas I didn't run afoul of his beanie, nor indeed, did he offer me a ride. So my olfactory sense remain intact.

  • Love it

  • Love the song! And the video made me laugh! I love Badly Drawn Boy! :)

  • I went to the same school as Badly Drawn Boy & indirectly suffered the most digesting & nauseating experience of my life because of him. It was lunch time & fate placed me between BDB & the bullies. One of them (with rubber gloves) snatched that filthy tea cosy off his head, ran, then pulled it over my head so my whole face was covered. Yep my face was wrapped up in that damp, stinking, dandruff encrusted wooly hat. Needless to say I barfed in it. BDB never washed it & still wears the thing.

  • @harveyderf Ug, WHY am I not surprised? This tosser approached me on a Manchester st when this video was at the height of its popularity &, I think in a feeble attempt to charm me, chortled "Fancy a lift, luv"? I could SMELL him from about a yard away, & curled my nose in disgust. Then, dude totally FLIPPED! 'IT'S DIS BLEEDIN' HAT, INNIT!" he said & FLUNG it to the ground. I leaned over to examine it as he stormed off, & witnessed chunks of vomit, dandruff snowflakes, & pube type hairs embedded!

  • @jasonismyhomie I'm really sorry you had to smell that filthy thing too & what a prick trying to pick you up like that on the back of this video! I have to ask you one thing though. It's absence from your description of the inner lining of his hat pleases me but I have to ask, did you see any encrusted jizz there? There was a rumour that went round school that he'd jack off into that hat in class. I just hope for god that is not true otherwise I'm gonna need more therapy & krunker meds.

  • @harveyderf Hmm, I don't quite know how to handle this moral quandry. However, I will be frank, as you seem a pure soul & desire honesty & respect. The type of respect BDB knows nothing of! I was cut off by the character limit, but there WAS a whiteish, viscous substance webbed & encrusted within that fiberous knit cap. Yes, though I am no expert, I would say it was quite seminal in nature. Plus, I got TOTAL perv vibes from the guy. Sorry! I'm already on 30 mg Valium a day & might need to up it!

  • @harveyderf ur a fuk,in tramo

  • @MyOatesy What was that? Sorry I don't speak mongoloid.

  • @harveyderf ur a fucking tramp. capeeesh now?

  • @MyOatesy That was a bit better but there's still some mongoloid in there. If you're having difficulty there's help you can get.

  • @harveyderf you are a degenerate reprobate and your style of fashion is terrible and your face is revolting you piece of shit. that better?

  • @MyOatesy *Awards MyOatesy a gold star for effort!* despite the ill fitting verbosity with his little post describing Badly Drawn Boy. Nice try!

  • @harveyderf I was refering to youself in my previous missive............

  • @ThisGreatLad Wow thank you for that. Your personalized interpretation of both myself and a JOKE my friend and I were engaging in really is much more revealing about your own limitations in imagination and acceptance than any intented slight we had on Badly Drawn Boy.

  • ur dog ugly and ur musics shit lol

  • Bewegendes Filmchen !

  • Comment removed

  • The lyrics to this song are kind of psychotic, and emotionally manipulative. I mean, I'm sure she knows her own sense of inner beauty, she doesn't need him to 'wring' it out of her.

  • i was booked to play a gig at the irish club in Damon's (Badly drawn boy's) home town chorlton, when we got there we found out that he had to leave early to pick up his sister from the airport, so he ended up supporting our band and we headlined, he truly is a great musician and a great guy, really friendly and humble

  • I loove the human taxi idea!!!!!!

  • Great tune, one of the best from a really good album

  • hsahahaha nice intro....

  • I have such fond memories of this video being on M2 (now MTV2) around the millennium. I was only about 12. I'd like to think it had somewhat of an impression on me at that age.

  • also a class video

  • fucking awsome video haha!!!

  • for the dutch people: this is the number I payed for at SERIOUS REQUEST 3FM 2010.

    Is such a great number and artist!

  • such a beautiful video ... such a strong body !

  • All his music videos I have seen so far are so endearing. I love them.

  • AMAZING album

  • Love this tune. From the first time I saw the video back in 2000, I was captivated by the catchiness and charm of this song. Fortunate enough to own a copy of it on vinyl.

  • he played it when i saw him on monday at Birmingham town hall, he was quite good, played in a 'buskers' fashion, was good to watch!

  • brilliant song from back in the day.

  • I can't believe she fucked him off for the sake of a parking ticket and he still wanted her. I would have rather gone with the Hare Krishnas!

  • When I see & hear this clip I always wan't to give up my job. Live on the countryside with my wife, dog & farm animals.

  • Can't wait for his next album! I hope there will be more songs like this in it.

  • Great Video. Good Luck with your tour Badly Drawn Boy!

    Diana.

  • MTV2 Kicked ass bring it Back!!!!

  • hahaha what a great video!

  • PERFECT...

  • Beehan, I have to agree with rbiren08. You dont need to insult just because someone doesnt like a song. I disagree with rbiren08's opinion on the song. I like it. But no need to insult.

  • Well maybe, just maybe, you are a fucking prick?

  • Because I'm not a fan I'm a prick? I'm sure u wouldn't like some of my music but I can assure u I would not insult you if you didn't.

    You must be musically insecure.

  • No, because you do not understand music. You don't have a clue about me, please, leave the stereotypes :)

  • why dont you look at my playlists or favourited music.... this song is actually baby time and im pretty sure that last comment doesnt make any sense.

  • God, so cool. I'm like in love with this video. Screw evident utensil, this is the bomb.
