[huiyinglaohu]

...



[GameCenture2010]

:'( im not like a goth D:

[farfunke]

haha he is a comedian, but he can do a bit of singing well, all round performer, love watching him on tv!

[albion2304]

oh yeah there are emos and goths here in Aus. I guess it's just a different uniform from what they wear in cold countries!

[DangerasTM]

funny guy and great singer i love GNW

[farfunke]

@DangerasTM haha Paul gets so funky on this one, those dance steps, and some of those notes are impressive, he has soul haha.

[bubble992]

im gonna have to ruin that there are 69 comments on a paul mcdermott vid...

yea, very funny song, but there are emos and goths in Australia?! how does that work? do they not boil? lol

[letmeloginyoucunt]

@bubble992

you do realise Australia isn't always hot like the tourism campaigns tell you.

[Jaded67]

Paul is so hot

[googleeaterwoot]

are you serious? or just trolling?

[abremaline]

Much 'respect' for this song. :P

[vSetPhasersToStunv]

those emos were listening to fall out boy

:)

[drongoguy]

i think it is "they get to help" not exactly sure on the last word whether it is hell or help

[DangerasTM]

lol i love this guy i watched the GNW awards show last night he sung i kissed a girl lol so funny

[slakalot22]

fat goths. muahaa

occasionally WHAT? I've listened 14 times and can't make it out...

thanks for posting this it's awesome. Paul is like a modern day king of the theatre of the absurd I can't get enough of him!

[dekstarking]

I think he says 'And occaisionally, get down'. Not entirely sure though.

Excellent song, love it. Also that fat goth comment is so true!

[sinapisalba]

i thought he says 'they get to hell' but i don't understand english that good, so i'm probably wrong :oP

great song, great singer :o)

[linkingodfsc]

its they get the album i think

[akilimatsu]

can we stop arguing about emos and just stare at paul?

[Reppin1000]

I meant live of course. Crappy keyboard...

[Reppin1000]

Emo is dead... It was too weak to line... :-)

[treemania]

emo is dead...pop culture killed it

[doomlemon]

so true

[mithol]

Still an awesome song by a hot singer. But I still can't figure out what that whispered line is after "and very occasionally they..."

[stellaluna92]

"....and not look fat like goths, FAT GOTHS!"

hahahaha lol

[nickmorgan19457]

I need to go to Australia.

[darkninja9996]

Alot of emos would kill themselves. Its just the everyday person doesnt see wats really going on in there head and just think get over yourselves. Most are actually depressed and on meds and everything so u shouldnt judge them on wat they look like.

[Muglez]

Oh come on. People that're actually depressed are the minority in groups like emos, and due to human stupidity, there's no way in hell they're going to appreciate that, and instead just generalize them all into one.

If I were emo and depressed, the reason I was depressed would be that I joined a dumbass abomination of human stupidity to express it.

[Zashley4ever]

i know it's like... a bit late to comment.

but the truth is, emo is a stereotype. and it's what people make it. just because they dress a different way, and some are depressed it doesn't make them human. it's like... the materials they wear. clothes and makeup shouldn't define people.

[kashiichan]

As someone who's suffering from depression and is ON meds for it, you don't generally go hang out with people when you're feeling like that, even people who are as depressing as you. >(

[darkninja9996]

U do go out i did and same with alot of other ppl i knew who were depressed.

[nicko236]

Alternatively, and as a teenager myself, I listen to this song and think "damn, he got that right!"

I'm not a stereotypical teenager, and listening to this song is hysterical because I'm in the best position to sit back and observe just how scarily accurate it is. I've had the same experiences; waiting in line, at the bus stop...come on Muglez, surely you've had the same thing?

hahaha "emo's are just like goths, but you can't tell them that because they'll cry..." Brilliant!

[Muglez]

Well, yeah. Except... You're not as bitter, cynical and pessimistic as me. You're right, though, he got it spot on. And that's what really gets me. Outside of my budding misanthropy, this is hilarious.

[akaDracoMafoy1]

@nicko236 Actually, I agree. :P

[DangerasTM]

@nicko236 i know the majority of kids these days r stupid i can say that cause im a teenager too....why cant darwanism work faster?

[wwemusicfan]

From which episode was this?

[F3nderB3nder]

that makes no sense... emos are pussy's thye cut themselves coz they rekon they are tough. but they would b 2 pussy 2 take their own life..

[st3phi3fobHRL69]

omg ur so smart.

[hail2dkingbaby]

This song is proof positive that Fallout Boy is Emo music because the only band I can think of the an Emo kid might listen to with a singer/writer named Patrick is them. Gawd I dislike Fallout Boy!

[mithol]

Lol. I was trying to figure out who Patrick was.

[st3phi3fobHRL69]

fuck u fall out boy's awsome. n since it's not that hard to prove they have emo influences in their music, considering Thay Say So Them Selves.

dick head

[Muglez]

Fallout Boy is to music what you are to teenagers. That annoying child people avoid associating with out of fear of catching The Stupid. It'd make sense that you'd love them unconditionally, despite their horrible ability and overall destruction of the name "music." I think I'll go pencil them in under Soulja Boy in the catagory "Noise."

[mithol]

Is it wrong that I just want to do naughty things to that man while he sings this song? O_O

[NoelFieldingLover]

if it is wrong i am oh so wrong right now, like dead wrong...:P

[mithol]

Lol. Same. I would do naughty things to that man any time.

[497678]

you and me both babe! hahaha

[mellon23510]

yep, im with all of you =P

[mithol]

What do emos do very occasionally?

[kimberlywalls]

Is that line "why don't they shut up and F*** like we used to do"?

[TinoSkyhawk]

awe! I actualy almost cried on the last one!!!

Ya know what makes that song REALY funny?

I'M THE CHICK AT THE VIDEO STORE! lol

The guy that was there helped write the song and he worked on the sideshow (I watched it BEFORE he got a job on there)

I LOVE The sideshow and I dont know what I am gonna do without its brilliance!!

~~Tino

P.S. That bandaging was REALY bad!! lol

[areyoutired]

In that case, thanks for being an inefficient salesperson and giving us all such a brilliant song. I've been sorely tempted to sing the chorus a number of times.

[Muglez]

Thank you for making my horrible day better. That made me laugh alot for some reason.

[Muglez]

I should also state that I was refering to Areyoutired's comment in my above thanking.

[areyoutired]

Thanks, Muglez - your comment brightened my day as well, especially when I inadvertently clicked on the link at work and had to play the whole thing again.

[Muglez]

My pleasure. Because I had to open it again to reply, and now I'm listening to it. Ah, Paul. What would we ever do without him?

[areyoutired]

Haha. Thought you'd catch me out again, did you? Shit, you did. :)

[Muglez]

This is a good system we have going. We just reply to make the other listen to it, then thank the person that made the other open it, because stupid teenagers are funny. Thanks again! :P

[Muglez]

HAI AREYOUTIRED.

I'm replying to make you listen to it again! :D

[areyoutired]

Muglez, you are a mindreader. How did you know that's just what I needed first thing on a dull Monday morning? (Actually, weirdly enough, at the time you sent this, I was back in the same concert hall I saw Tim Minchin in in Feb. Wish we could get Mr McD there.) How've you been?

[Muglez]

I'm alright. Yourself?

I knew you needed it because frankly I needed it too. I was watching their Take Me To The River version, and it was in the related videos section.

[areyoutired]

All the better for this, thanks. It's getting freaky though - I just watched that video the other night too. Should I be getting paranoid? Or should you?

Got a new one for you, though - have you seen "Wrong Number" with GUD? You haven't commented it, so I couldn't make you listen, but you might like it.

[Muglez]

I'm paranoid enough. You can take this one. :P

I'll go have a look around. :D

[Muglez]

Being a teenager makes me sad, because I do end up getting lumped in with the basis of this song far more often than I'd like. Stereotypes piss me off above all else. I get the feeling I'm going to be alot like Paul in that I'm going to be one of those angry, ANGRY little men. :P

[areyoutired]

Sorry you're feeling like that, but a) as a teenager you're in one of the most exciting (and depressing and excruciatingly embarrassing and potentially wonderful) times of your life and b) you're going to end up like Paul? Sorry, as a middle-aged mum (of a teenager - imagine what stereotypes I get lumbered with), I'm finding it hard to be awfully sympathetic. But not too hard. ;)Now's the time to make memories for your old age.

[497678]

yeah its kinda like that for me as well, but its great to be able to surprise people when they realise you're capable of sustaining an intelligent conversation. the whole stereotyped teenage thing doesnt really piss me off that much because i know im not really like that.

[Muglez]

It drives me insane because I know someone somewhere is ruining it for the rest of us, causing people to have these moronic ideas based entirely around a singular experience about the behaviour of all teenagers, and instead of treating people on a case-to-case basis, thinking as if we're a single entity with the same ideas, intelligence and all that jazz.

[mellon23510]

I was there, the poor thing had to do it twice =/

Sucks so bad how its being cancelled. =[=[=[

[XxLoveJessxX]

i love paul mcdermott

[XEmokidX666]

[areyoutired]

You were there?

[TinoSkyhawk]

~~Tino

[XEmokidX666]

[TinoSkyhawk]

LOL I am SNEAKY!!! BWAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Thanks, and no I havn't ... I am still tryin too lemme know if ya hear anything. Ton is pretty much the only one I sill talk to frequently

~~Tino

[Muglez]

I gotta admit, you really do sound like the kind of person that would have that kind of conversation. :-\

[KuraiMusume]

Paul is so angry XD And hot. An awesome performance.

[sulidgud]

wtf was that?

[areyoutired]

That was the most recognisably Paul McD I've seen on YouTube other than the DAAS stuff. I guess now the show's being cancelled, the brakes are coming off.

[areyoutired]

Love this song. He's got a lot of puff, hasn't he?
