[xairidax]

Janis Joplin :}}}

[TheCultureConcept]

They are totally crazy!

[selena6440]

[Deptiabs]

Is that Jack Sparrow?

[waterisawesome]

[Fodesitha]

[fabioscimmia]

[nata2233]

super... pero quiten ese payaso

[baergal]

what the heck did i just watch?

[rabbsneitor]

I like devendra, and i like too sublime. But honestly, this cover is pure shit.

[migger248]

Devendra has changed so much from this

[5150ortiz]

@conorbravo Who said anything about writing, It's Janis voice you can never replace. Janis Joplin - Summertime (Live Gröna Lund 1969)

[5150ortiz]

Janis Joplin rolling in her grave....

[tamroluluromtakankav]

<3 <3 <3 ............. <3

[naxein]

thousands of good dancers in the world and employ a moron, gross

[lilacifyable]

I can pay this on my guitar

[PIHSROWREFICUL666]

@CroissantOrange - Talentless? I doubt he'd be world famous without talent (that excludes pop 'sensations' who generally by definition nowadays have to be next to talentless), and about the dancing, that aint dancing! Go to a rave an I guarentee you'll see at least two crackheads doing something similar, just maybe a bitmore funky!

[vlefaridas]

spasta pasa m!! dwsta ola agorina mou!!!

[jiftupop]

would be better without boxers

[nick4man3]

I'm so glad Devendra dropped this whole schtick. I love his music, but this is a bit much.

[Kafka1479]

god i hate hipsters.



[CroissantOrange]

Self-important talentless little twat

[popgunparadise]

@CroissantOrange says the dipshit sitting on youtube

[JusticieroDeLaMuerte]

What's the problem with this guy's voice and his awful vibrato? Does he have a cold?

[francis911]

@JusticieroDeLaMuerte Nah, that's just how he sings. Look up Connor Oberst, You'll like him even less I guess..

[QspadeofheartsQ]

He did a cover of summertime *___*

oooh I love this man tenfold.

[beastguitaist]

HE DOES JAZZZZ

[Morigraz]

i like pirates!

[RipARipeBanana]

He's living in another time

[qwertbwert]

that's how I dance when I go clubbing

[KellsieM]

14 people are jealous that they can't dance like that.

[kelseykay420]

@KellsieM Or 14 people are jealous that they can't get no LSD like that<3

[mindlense]

I can't look away! But i dont want to either... :)

[aldanath]

the dancer is very funny jaja

[aldanath]

the dancer is very funny jaja

[CaptainAcousticJack]

wtf is that guy smoking in the middle!

[nikkiii0]

it seems as if someone's tripping balls...

[TheBrowndawg]

looks like roy buchanan in the background on guitar ;-)

[MissBButtercup]

Nice interpretive dancing from the man in the poncho. Laaadiiiieesss.

[qwazxcvbn]

hippie jam fest from the woods to the stage

[carlafairy7]

i love this i think its beautiful

[Echobelly10]

This is kinda amazing. Devendra is the love child of Marc Bolin and Tim Buckley, a great combination!

[zilierkragg]

Wow, this is terrible!

[GriffonKeeper]

The Emperor has no clothes.

[briangroovy]

It's not just the cotton thats high!

[malinsmama]

Is this a joke?

[Bulldog22031]

lol... Hippies make some great folk music, but goddamn they are weird.

[balraku]

the guy filming the clip is an idiot, its obvious Dev wanted the focus to be on the naked dancing man while he sings in the background, the camera should have stayed on him.

[bmcmahon2009]

This is weak. Super fake. Just a trend. People will get over this dude in a few weeks. Its just a hipster fad. How weird can we be? Not a fan.

[jbogalho]

@bmcmahon2009 U just heard about him now, but it's been around for more than a few weeks, and stills keeps colecting fans ;)

Doesn't mean that you have to like, though.

[KaplanCrack]

@bmcmahon2009 have you ever listened to any of his albums? and i mean his hole album?

[slmanifesto05]

@bmcmahon2009 you fell for the common fallacy of labeling anything that invokes a certain basic emotion, makes you uneasy, or is just different from the "norm" as "hipster". what brought you to this video in the first place? maybe it was the part of your consciousness that wants to explore things deeper than the conventional side that is quick to judge and not quick to respect, love, and appreciate. this song is about being loved and feeling free, what's fake and weird about that?

[manateerising]

I like what he's doing but he really overdoes the vibrato with his voice. By the end of the song it's just grown fucking annoying.

[Marseille5]

@manateerising If you consider his inspiration for doing this is Marc Bolan, then it's obviously not overdid. Bolan is serious reference.

[jhonplok]

devendras a God and all..but i think this would do better without the dancing dude hahaha

[gugabool1]

he looks like jack sparrow. whats up with th freak dancing like a caveman?

[danalt]

Looks like Jack Sparrow!

haha

A greeaat sond!!

[slowitdownforme]

I love devendra i do but when janis joplin did her version she parted the sky.

[JpassTheTime]

so im new to this kind of music. can someone explain to me why hes dancing like that? where it comes from? how it started? looks drug related.

[PierceMarratoo]

@JpassTheTime looks like he's feelin it. Not much to explain. Some folks like to let go when the music tells them to....very possibly could be drug related.

[JpassTheTime]

@PierceMarratoo

Ya i get the part where u let go. I enjoy this freedom all the time, especially when im smashin some drum and bass (Elektronica). Or even some good ol Wu Tang, or Del the Funky(hip hop) if you didn't kno. I was just wonder more where this dance STYLE of letting go came from. I see a lot of others doin it. i feel like its more a fad. Like it seems like they're all copying Jim Morrison preforming style but with a bu-dist/hippie twist. Rather then trying to make something organic.

[PierceMarratoo]

@JpassTheTimeI love wu-tang and del. When it comes to electronic tunes I like a little. More into dubstep than anything else electronic. As far as this being a fad or what they are trying to accomplish...who knows. When it comes to dancing I could care less. Whatever works ya know.

[JpassTheTime]

@PierceMarratoo I totally agree with all you say.

That said, I think this shit is gay and just loopy. It's for sure a fad. I live in san francisco and all the hipsters and hippie kids like to get down like this in golden gate park. You can image how gay that is. And everyone of them talk about the same shit. those hippies man.. they all grow out of it. And if they dont, they become crazy.

thats enough shit talkin for me.

[Zuhzuhzombie]

Is that a Guild Starfire?

[overcometheidiots]

Is that Roy Buchanan playing with them????

[estelief]

His voice is so great!

[1Veetnisha]

Very cool! Devendra is so beautiful and knows always how to create an atmosphere of poesie, pureness, wildness and romantic- he feeds the longing to freedom in me...! That is art for me!

[manuel677]

that hippie dancer is the SHIT son!!!!

[henrypeckstv]

and now for something completely different.....

[pillowpantleg85]

this could have been such an awesome performance if it wasn't for the crack head in the trashbag having epileptic fits in the middle of the stage

[usoltzev]

SO YOU'RE THE COWARD TOO... SO PITY.. YOU'VE JUST LOST A THOUSANDS OF YOUR FANS..

[srdcvhbdxcfg]

why are they eating apples in the end? o.ô

[smcosci]

@srdcvhbdxcfg

you obviously don't understand life and the universe if you find yourself asking such trivial questions.

just playin'. it's probably 'cuz apples are delicious.

[srdcvhbdxcfg]

@smcosci  haha!

[Zuhzuhzombie]

@srdcvhbdxcfg Hippies.

[anthonysalamanders]

hes dancing in the sun

[gnarrwhale]

YES!!!

[mojoheroin]

the gayest thing i'[ve ever masterbated to!linger loger!!!

[omgitscami93]

This was written by George Gershwin for "Porgy and Bess"

[LandforTheSale]

brighter dark

[peoplehatemycomments]

My point exactly why American Idol is stupid..ITS BO BICE!!!! shake it Bo shake it...!!!

[theclock101]

That dancer makes me physically sick to my stomach

[turqouiseorchid88]

hahahthat guy is a pretty good dancer.

[sofiasironi]

sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy terrible sexyyyyy

[MrMaxxxamaxxxam]

que onda el loco esaba en san pedro???

[FrenchFederationFonk]

This guy take us in an oter place, i don't no where maybe woodstock but it's fuckin' rock n roll

[calishiva9]

i love it i love it. lo mejor q hay!!!!!!!

[phenomenask8]

i know why this sounds amazing.. because he´s really feeling it, I talk about devendra, the other guy was teletransported to the instant when someone invented de LSD.. that is a really good trip  : D

[kikitheowl]

God. he's so sexy.

[Guerguero]

que buena periquiada tiene ese loco, pero la música es buena

[andmakeyoume]

i like this song when its more of a blues number like how big brother and the holding co with janis did it, and he can play some bluesy stuff so i wish he kept this more blues, still great though

[nutty64082]

wait why is that guy dancing?

[monsterfresh]

That's Sir Richard Bishop from Sun City Girls on guitar

[meryrowery]

lovelovelovelove that and maquillagee and blue hair

[Guerguero]

The best Devendra's song is it

[AdamLuebke]

Can't get enough of Devendra!

[as39co08]

moi ....ça me fait planer .....

[DefiantZebra]

Ugh, terribly disappointing.

[Foxtrot784]

Talentless goat

[peacebecca]

hahahahhaahah this is sooo amazing<3 i love him !!

[ManolSC]

chevree primera vez q lo escucho y me engancho heee

[latoronja22]

Ta más bueno q comer pollo con la mano!

[nadjadyjaltra]

@latoronja22 Devendra o el que baila en el medio?

[latoronja22]

@nadjadyjaltra

Deveeeeeendra, el q canta! :p

[korg0019]

a goat ...PMSL!!!

these new artists...they think they know everything

for me, this is just a pretentious bullshit, but...

[winechild]

there used to be an interview he did right after this song on youtube somewhere. I can't seem to find it anymore. anyone seen that lying around somewhere?

[MrFernandorinco]

a goat can do his vibrato. not a monkey.

[MrFernandorinco]

you can't say he's not talented just cause of this or other video you saw. his lyrics, his voice and all of his albuns are the best in my opinion. we can't discuss taste in music, but saying he's not talented and that a monkey can do his vibrato is fucking ignorant.

[laddyy]

nah, this guy is not that talented. He just has himself a healthy dose of over-inflated ego, a dash of mental illness and a pinch of stage-confidence. Any monkey can play the guitar and sing vibrato.

[TheBrowndawg]

show us ya stuff big man

[laddyy]

nah, you would just jerk off to it and then turn around and say its not as good as Banhart.

FACT

[TheBrowndawg]

haha. funny as a shark attack

[gleyseh]

Lindo, lindo...adoooooooooooro Devendra!!

[yorylein]

Joder, que me den lo que le dieron al del medio ;-) jajaja, que clase de quemao, pero que buena está la música y la letra además!

[achu31416]

@yorylein hahaha tienes razón

[oOJimmySueOo]

It's not a Janis cover. Before Janis Santo & Johnny did it. It's been done by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Toots Thielemans. It's originally a George Gershwin songfrom 1935. There are over 50 covers known. Most of which were at least 10 years before Janis. Just letting you know

[InsaneClownBitch]

@oOJimmySueOo Its from 1933 and there are over 2.900 recordings of that song. Its part of the opera Porgy and Bess. Just letting you know

[ykonstanza]

weon loocoo...

devendra ; fuckin god♥

[sarachuck08]

That man can move!

[Kathylouu]

There is something oddly genius about this.

[hardcoreness92]

word

[Kathylouu]

He is really good looking when he shaves, it just takes him a long time to do it. Love the guy dancing. I guess dancing guy is suppose to be an extension of himself?

[crislenemar73]

Evviva a liberdade de expressao :D

Amei o bailarino!!

[diruholic]

I totally love his voice though his performances always look like he's stoned, haha^^'

[bjmmo9]

I clicked this because I heard hes dating Natalie Portman? Who cares if hes ugly? Better go back to your local gossip mags and comercial radio dickhead, this guy rocks and looks fuckn great, some people CREATE others just post negative comments on things that are beyond their understanding. Youll should crawl back into your cave, look in the mirror and put on your Madonna albums lol.

[HiPpPiEcHiKcKiE]

He is freaking hot, and his music makes him that much sexier. He can sing, from his soul he can sing, and he carries notes that most people have only been told existed. He is the ultimate man, and I would be happy to have one just like him at home. Lucky Lucky Natalie!

[Exoskeletal6]

But, he isn´t ugly.

[MrFernandorinco]

king, genius.

[poucnmule]

who's that guy in the middleeeeee??

[lasfinisimas]

It's my uncle Gaspar...he's drunk, he lives on the streets, I feed him, sometimes

[mooped]

ahh , ok

thanks for the info (:

seems to be a nice uncle

[xxSTTLxx]

hahaha

[ykonstanza]

JAJAJJAJA JAJAJAJAJJA

[mikamamma]

@lasfinisimas too f'in' funny! I litterally LOL when I read your comment!

[wonderboy8171]

@lasfinisimas I cannot stop lol'ing at this comment...Hahaha

[usernameoccupato]

Brrrrr...

[zampa111]

Awsome,Amazing,

[TheBallroomsofmars]

A Wizard a True Star.

[merkmuir]

This is better than Sesame Street. The Dancing Guy is extremely talented, He reminds me of someone who won't do a single thing with his life.

[paatoque]

wake up robopata

[Colargoletta]

Welcome in France again Devendra on tv show Taratata...

Peace and Love for everyone...

[RubyBurton]

Kocham tę piosenkę ;D

[leslie8240]

I love this hippie!! I would like to be his friend..

[onoaoiomo]

Did he just rape one of the greatest songs of all time?

Yeah! He Did! :-O

[carlafairy7]

this totally rocks man

[jochaxbu]

satanic

[DocHallux]

you have a vagina for a crotch.

[rockel1986]

The crazy dancing guy makes me laugh ever time. Gold.

[johnsel2006]

raar

[trichst3r]

this is great if you don't watch the crazy dancing guy, obviously he was high as a kite.

[paatoque]

with all respect, man, you dont have to be high to dance like that, you only have to feel the music and dont give a dammmmm about what other people think

[trichst3r]

I guess.

[believerster]

But in all likelihood he was more fucked than kieth richards on a sunday afternoon

[paatoque]

seguro parcero, tipica opinion de gringo,

sure...

[xxSTTLxx]

could be high or just feeling the music but, is funny the expression anyway

[lukester96]

this was by far the most brilliant thing I have ever seen.

[ystephanshrem]

Nice !

[ernetto]

that was hot
