  • GENIUS!

  • Jack, your music is awsome, awsome.

  • you are great Jack! seriously!

  • @zombieroboy Yes the accordion is the best part :)

  • чотко

  • Dude... this is fantastic ! :D

  • I think there should be more pixilation in this video.... it's great!!

  • I don't know if it's because I'm slightly drunk or what, but I almost pissed myself laughing when the umpa dancing part happened. Oh, man... I need a second to recover.

  • me encantaaa!!

  • This was friggin' excellent!

    

  • This blows my mind right outta my head.

  • Everything production that I watch of his just impresses me all the more!!

    Devendra Banhart would like this song!! ...(is this a cover of one of Devendra's songs??).. :-)

  • Is it me or this kinda sounds like Jewish music? lol

    I've loved this songs since the first time I heard it and the last part with the drums just makes me jizz lol

  • who have animated gif please PM!

  • this is one of his best songs

  • Прекрасно!

  • Hipster Jack!

    Will steal your soul!

    

  • That guy has a killer hipster beard.

  • wow that's amazing! You're more than a whole band! And I must say you are better than a big part of singers! I love your songs! You're just brilliant! :)

  • This is going into my Halloween playlist... And every other Playlist I have~

  • I dont know why, but u remind me of a mixure of my uncle and luigi XD

  • just fantastic.

  • This is WAY too damn creepy, in the best possible way. It's fascinating- your Pomplamoose stuff is so upbeat and happy, but your own stuff is so dark. Good, but dark!

  • I have a question that you might never answer, but when you record these, how do you start? Like... do you start with you singing then build off of the instruments? Or do you play one part to give you a guide line? and then think oh hey, that will sound neat here, and then add it?

  • You guys are getting kinda violent...First "Bust Your Knee Caps" & now this!

  • I play this outside of my house every All Hallows Eve.

  • REPEAT!

  • That leading tone you hold at the end just makes me want to flip out in awesome triumphant satisfaction.

  • I want that UmPa .gif, but the link is broke :(

  • I love how he dancse when he plays the tamburin. He does this in other videos too. check out 2:00 - 2:12

  • you should write the music for Tim burtons next musical.

  • @InsaneNightmarePanda That would be great. I'm just fed up with Danny Elfman and his choirs

  • amazing song man

  • This is my favourite Jack Conte song! I love it!

  • I get chills every time I hear this song.

    The good kind.

  • sounds like obamas dickhole

  • Ahah, FUCK this is amasing! xD

  • @xxpocketmonster I'd rather not take them somewhere else. I'm gonna keep them right here: This guy is a clown.

  • Maybe this song would be enjoyable if you didn't have to watch this guy doing all those creepy aweful movements and ridiculous faces.

  • @lucasv1179 Some people think that it's cute. Get over yourself and take your negative comments somewhere else.

  • Best. Song. Ever.

  • This guy scared the shit out of me -.-

  • Awesome song, but he so doesnt have my surname -.-

  • Now that song would fit in perfectly in the Beggars Opera :) Very good song!

  • Chords?

  • @SuperMegaPeanut

    I asked the same question but I got no answer so I had to do it by ear.

    Verse Bm G#m G B

    Chorus B5 C5 E5 G5

    They're not in order, but i think those are the chords for the song. I play them and they sound good. Although the main sequence in the verse is Bm G#m

    Now you figure out the rest :D

  • My mom says that this is the best thing she ever heard last time. :) You're really crazy J. :) It's just what she likes, she also loves your sense of humor and disharmony. :)

    Btw, she is 39, has 2 children (me and my brother) and is still annoying with playing your songs by me. :D

    Sorry for my English. :)

  • this was oddly entertaining and addicting to watch.

  • this is sooo much fun!!

  • my only complaint is that I wish there were more drums

    because that part is like a soundgasm every time it happens

  • When he plays that accordion, he stares into your soul.

  • @zombieroboy i see waht u mean

  • your lips look funny when you sing!!! but you are like best musician ever!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • GLORIOUS.

  • Every video connects and converts more super fans! Thanks Jack.

  • Comment removed

  • Your lower range sounds a lot like Conor Oberst. :D

  • You are a music miracle!!! a Genious!!!!

  • Great song Jack.!!!!

  • first song i heard by him, i think ive got some listening to do.

  • the more i hear this, the more i love it.

  • You should get ahold of Mike Patton darling. <3

  • 0:59 add some crazy carnival drums!!!!

  • You could write a creepy musical.

  • THUMBS UP FOR THE HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

  • What noise did the UmPa dancing make? I think you needed to bring up the dancing in the EQ, I couldn't hear it at all.

  • @fd9w4dncm

    Really?

  • @fd9w4dncm

    seriously? He had PERFECT crescendos and decrescendos so i don't know what you're talking about...

  • @XpoopeyXRAWRX

    And I don't know what you are talking about. Crescendos?

    He can't scream for shit... weak as hell! Sorry, but I don't listen to this music...

  • @fd9w4dncm

    Then why you be trollin'? Don't like it, don't watch it. Besides, having a crescendo does not mean screaming, so it kinda appears as though you don't even know what you're talking about.

  • @XpoopeyXRAWRX

    That's what happens when you write when you are drunk. Of course I don't know what crescendos is, that's what we have google for. I just didn't like his puny screams...

    What I don't like about his singing is that there is no power... sounds so weak!

    I found a cover that I think is better: /watch?v=AmfnAPD-x3o

    Atleast he has more power in his voice

  • @fd9w4dncm I have to totally disagree with you. I find Jacks version of the song more empowering and better. But hey, each to his own right? :)

  • @fd9w4dncm

    if you don't know what a crescendo is then don't talk as though you do, and his vocals aren't usually this weak, it actually fits the lyrics and the mood of the song, but whatever. go listen to whatever screamo stuff you're talking about.

  • @XpoopeyXRAWRX

    In Flames, buddy. In Flames we trust!

  • @fd9w4dncm

    Dude! Really? You're comparing Jack Conte to In Flames? You just can't, they are two different things, both are awesome though.

  • Hahahahahahaha, loved it !

  • Radiohead? This is such a great song! I can't believe you aren't famous!! :)

  • LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

  • Epic dance skills.

  • I'm mesmerized.

  • love the dancing!

  • How the fu(< did you do the ending Jack?

  • why isn't this song available for download on amazon?

  • thank you for disturbing the living daylights out of me!! i love it!! hahahhahahaha

  • You are a crazy genious!!!!

  • wtf, you have a theremin?? can you play it?

  • @music162 is that even a question?! haha there's no doubt he can play it!

  • The face you pull when playing the Hand Organ...you look like your about to kill the viewer! XD

  • It's just awesome...x.x I have no words to discribe what I fell x.x

  • Someone one needs to animate this video a la Nightmare Before Christmas.

    Seriously.

  • LOL 2:50

  • Genius

  • How amazingly disturbing. I love it!

  • Is that a tribute to Matt Bellamy? :D

  • you sound a fuck ton like conor oberst!@ voice & composition

  • Incredible))))

  • FAVE!

  • I've been a fan for a long time now, only hearing this now though. Great as always!

  • There's something in the voice (especially at the end) and in the music tension that reminds me to Muse.

  • It almost look like if you had different personalities, according to the instrument you are playing :P accordeon-Jack is far more serious than the drummer, hehe!

  • By far one of my original favorites. I really want to see you use that theremin in more songs though!

  • 40 people dont know what "good music" means

    go listen to gaga

  • this really reminds me of one song... can't remember

  • Comment removed

  • i love your singing face :D

  • Sounds like... MUSE! 1:57

  • This song makes me want to be chased around the back streets of Italy on a bycicle by crazy people while i'm drunk on red wine.

    Probably my fave, this one or gulf. I can't make up my mind.

  • great dancer. i want to move like that.

  • i love the dances =P

  • haha! cool

  • Amazing :P xx Anyone else getting the Gogol Bordello vibe? :P xx

  • @surfysez96 YES! I didn't hear it before, except for the accordion! Who else rocks the accordion? Yuri from GB! Of course! I'm seeing Gogol in Reno in two weeks! Psyched!~

  • @radiationraven Ahh!! I'm SO jealous! I'm not gonna be here when he comes to the UK :( Which SUCKS!! Have an amazing time though!! :) xx

  • UmPa dancing makes me giggle EVERTIME i see it :D

  • Comment removed

  • at the start of this for some reason i could only think of mario.

  • this video taught me how to love again

  • im not a big fan of this type of music but this song sounds like it can be a number one hit all over the radio and crap like that... why hasnt it happened

  • Wow I'm extremely impressed it sounds like a song System of a Down would write great job

  • Absolutely awesome. The oompah dancing was terrifying the first time I saw it.

    Also, is this song about a guy who killed his wife and buried her in the woods? Or am I just projecting my own problems?

  • ohuenno!!!---which means "fkng awesome" in russian)

  • This song is simply mesmerizing...

    Jack, you're a genius, and I can't but envy you and your musical abilities)

  • theres a movie in this somehow

  • WOO MANIACAL ACCORDIAN JACK!

  • Where the hell is his vocal mic here!?

  • Blows my mind...

  • Very cool man.

  • Jack! I think you're really a genius when it comes to music composition and your simple videos. You made me curious in the vocoder demo, and now, well... let's just say, if you came out with an album, I'd definitely buy it. :)

  • @MelloMix His website is the same as his username. Everything the man has done for $20

  • @TallulahSongs I learned that shortly thereafter my comment--and I knew someone would be correcting me. xD Thanks anyways ~~

  • @MelloMix There is, on iTunes.

  • @MelloMix He does have an album! :D

  • @MelloMix He's released several albums on iTunes.

  • You make me smile in an extremely amazed wowing way

  • You're crazy.

    A genious, but crazy.

  • @LeKipou Crazy genious :P

  • @LeKipou - @jackcontemusic Yes, you're mad, bonkers, off your head. But i'll tell you a secret... All the best people are.

  • @LeKipou It is said that the only difference between genius and insane is success. ;)

  • @LeKipou 2 sides of the same coin :)

  • i cant help my selfe i love the song even though the funny obsessed dancing.

  • i cant help my selfe i love the song even though the weard dancing.

  • @Summerbreeze1616 And yet he makes it look effortless. Bravo.

  • Sounds like something that should be in a Tim Burton film :D

  • По английски я не понимаю, но всё ровно великолепно!!!

  • Великолепно!

  • ...if you were a poem 75 % of the people would go "huh?"

    but it's the other 25% that matters.

  • this is the first of his videos i've seen, he's reallllllly talented. subscribed :D

  • Why no mandolin?

  • Love it

  • HOw diD yOu do thE oompa and jumping JaCk biTTs?

  • @SemiTall I'm guessing still frames editing...

  • оргинално!

  • just one word: "Cool"

  • Creepy!

    Love it!

  • I just realized something. I was trying to explain this song to my friends, and I realized in theory, this song should be super boring. What I mean to say is, you've got your instruments all playing the essentially the same thing over and over again. In actuality, it is extremely entertaining. I'm still trying to figure that out. I guess the musical greatness just goes straight over my head.

  • @GladosApertureScienc dude, simple music is the best.. this isn't boring.. this is music.

  • @musicalman1995 No, I totally agree with you. I'm just not used to hearing simplistic music in today's industry. Also, I would just like to say, that UmPa dancing is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen.
