James - Laid

[coltsuperocean10]

Great band, I remember seeing them on tour in the early 90s when Radiohead supported them!

[risrag909]

Awesome :D

[luscious9lips]

I used to smoke sausage but I tried cherry pie and that's all it took for me to be a convert. Cherry Pie forever now :) :D :O

[chasingamour]

I love this song. (:

I love his facial expressions, and the lyrics, and just the overall message it gives.

[tyedevil]

minkowski76

I think that's kinda the point - that we're all a bit fucked up sexually

[minkowski76]

Great, great song, would've been a lot better if he wasn't implying that he has issues with his sexuality. Pretty much more than I cared to know.

[deat1o]

i fucking love it! <3 heard liar ?

[aaazzzza]

This song reminds me of wild parties in college.

[SIMAOC100]

VERDADEIRO

[lightningonoceans]

CUMS CUMS CUMS

There I said it!

[Glamrockateer]

hey why don't they censor the title?? LMAO

great song [:

[Theratinthehouse]

love driving around jamming this full blast, good times!

[darkstar153]

Reminds me of my ex & me!!!!

[beliot89]

i don't get the point of this song. what is it talking about?

[PinkGrapes10]

he's cute in a weird way :)

[ashibullet]

He's very cute and this song is very sexy!

[75andalive]

My thoughts exactly !

[QuiGonphan]

hes hottt

[kinkybonbon0618]

So I seen this link from ONTD... Can I get someone to do a wuizk explanation of this song? I'm not getting it... Which rarely happens

[Pembian]

This is a clever song about obsession and love/hate that comes with relationships (and sex). The couple have an intense physical relationship (she only comes when she's on top) but he was advise to end the realtionship heh. Great lyrics.

[tinglewrist]

is this a cover song?

[SuperModelVogue]

ooh, i like this.

[WhiteFordBronco]

hahaha.... she only *sings* when she's on top?? too funny!

[rockeranti504]

fuckin censorship

[djnickyd]

its the clean version...its suppose to be she only comes when shes on top

[pablocbmurcia]

great song

[prettyinblue1985]

I just like the long haired guy eating a banana.. he's kinda cute.

[SHaKeRuk]

Great band James were. Been a fan since 1990 (fk me, am I that old). Ah well...

[DesperatelyKind]

"..dresssed me up in womens clothes, messed around with gender roles, dye my eyes and call me prettyyyyyy..."

[ThePlacidVirus]

We know, we watched the vid...

[DesperatelyKind]

Love the song and the video. I hate the censored version. James was a great band.

[Schmee72]

eh.. James are still a great band!

[Navaho7Joe]

Best song , best video..FOREVER !!

[nirkvana]

recontra ssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao­ooooooooooooooooooooooo

[TheSlimViper]

Matt Nathanson perfected this song.

[jgallete]

Fucking great song!!

Worst video ever!! lol

[Clubsiii]

This is possiby the worst music video ever, but fuckin love the song!

[darthassasin]

[JLF006]

[girlvagabond]

Argh... I rated the video wrong and I don't know how to unrate it. =(

[k3wld00d1]

[marnatha2007]

COOL SONG!!

[sidandmoi]

[natasha91100]

[karl1143]

good song...but the vid is kinda gay

[hotgeorge44]

this song is so good, so unique, love it!!!!

[orfeas2]

judge not , lest you wanna be overrun by obsessed anonymous' over the net

[samscafeamericain]

oh sowtoreap get off your high horse. My God is a God of love and He very cleverly said 'Judge Not, Lest you be Told', now why don't you follow that advice. .

[samscafeamericain]

Judge not Lest ye be Judged

[sowtoreap]

You have no morals thats why. By your standard torturing babies for fun is not morally wrong, it is simply not your thing to do. Same with what Hitler did. It is not wrong by your standards but it is simply not your definition of fun. Guess what, just as laws of physics govern the Universe, laws of morals govern morality. If their are laws that govern the universe then their is a law giver and Creator of the Universe.

[quidproquo2004]

Induction is not the answer to everything.

[letmebeyourlady]

Really nice song! Whenever I hear it, it cheers me up! :-)

[ByKubu]

american pie :D

stifmaster ROX ;]

[HugoBoss70g]

It's in the start of American Pie The wedding...Love the song!<3

[Marciii095]

it was in the american pie...:D

[magalyzy]

guauuu esta rola me gusta tanto me trae recuerdos de mi adolesencia cuando cometia errores estupidos

[MamasBoyProductions]

it's really no wonder why tim booth became an actor...his subtle expressions of emotion are amazing for someone whose primary work is music

[drambuie4856]

brilliant song

[Killingsanta]

u ment 00.38......genious

[PaulProductions101]

hey "genious" its spelt genius lmao

[jazzyjeff1282]

ahahhah

[Killingsanta]

this song is not 38.00

[oscarimeza]

From 38.00 he pulls a face very similar to Morrissey. I think it's the teeth and the way the jaw is.

[xonerdzruleox]

wow

[taniamode]

Me encanta esta canción y el video también.

[BONDMASTER]

What?? Sings? Cums is not even that dirty of a word!

[NothingED]

yeah but it was the 90's u still couldnt say shit like that on tv

[BONDMASTER]

Down with censorship!

Who's with me?!

[NothingED]

I am with ya dude

[mattomeo]

im with ya

[bababooey7576]

she only sings when she's on top? what the fuck? when you avoid the word, in this case, 'cums' , it then becomes dirty. idiot censorship. otherwise, top tune.

[1TreacAl]

he means she only makes noises on top, you know, when you make chicks cum? oh wait you wouldnt know would you? too busy putting dumbfuck comments on this video

[bababooey7576]

Idiot, the original lyric says "she only CUMS when she's on top..." i was commenting on the idiotic censorship. now, apparently, I'm commenting on your stupidity. Of course i know what the song says you idiot...wonder if you knew the original word there.

[Piercetp]

This song was adopted for the entire American Pie series. The first film was good but every one following it sucked worse and worse. The wierdest was in "Band Camp" when it began with an orchistrated version of the song played by a marching band. How many marching bands do you know actually play songs like this?

Sorry, I am on a tangent. Good song though.

[hermanohongo]

Un video espantoso para una de las canciones más chingonas y emblemáticas de los 90. ¡Los esperamos en México otra vez, James!

[danelsons]

I agree, don't mess with perfection.

Any guy who ever has been with a chic who was no good for can relate to this song.

[danelsons]

I dated and married a chic that was bad for me too. I can relate to this song

[HumaChani]

I love james

[mrsghostrider]

lovez it xoxo

[stonermadness]

what the fuck is this shit

[HiPpPiEcHiKcKiE]

its not supposed to say "sings when shes on top" I hate edited music!

[HiPpPiEcHiKcKiE]

heres the unedited version

James - Laid: Version 3 - Stereo

[RedRussia60]

nah this is original, the other was edited for American pie to be less gay

[weaverzone]

Nope. The original came out in '93 and "American Pie" wasn't until '99. And the original has the better lyrics (not what's in this video). My guess is this 'nicer' version was produced to appease MTV or a nervous record label.

[bestnshah]

i totally feel that. lol, i was singing along, and then when i heard it differently, i was like "What? noo" lol

[rickz1980]

I really like the way he sings, so unique

i love this song!!!

[lubarr]

love this video!!!

exc. for the LAID were it had to go!

[youxdumbxpeople]

i wonder what underwear he had to wear so his pee pee didnt wiggle everywhere x] haha love this song though, totally rocks.

[SoldierSide77]

Why is this fruitball wearing a dress?

[SoldierSide77]

Wait I think I just answered my own question.

[DrHibbz]

your the only fruit i see

[SoldierSide77]

Check the mirror, pansy ass

[DrHibbz]

you are still the only fruit i see?

[miesparza]

youre still at fucking with people hibbz? lmao you fuckin disgrace lol

[lucie1973]

I love this song,,, even after all these years

[weinerschnitzelsrule]

such a good song!!

[9c1lt14u]

This sounds  just like our relationship !

[youxdumbxpeople]

i love when this song gets on the radio driving home :]

[crossroadsplanter]

Anybody know where you can get face masks like those in this video????

[snickerzlove4life]

weird i seen one of those mask on the TLC show "Say Yes To The Dress"... a woman brought it in to try on with the dresses... maybe that could help u find them...

[BTC141]

At your local costume shop. If they don't have the ones you want they can order them in or refer you to another costume store. Easy.

[crossroadsplanter]

Thanks! I'll check it out.

crossroadsplanter

[BTC141]

Better yet, check out costumes on Ebay. That's the best bet.

[hannahwicked]

How does he hit those notes?

XD

[banjojambo]

its called falsetto singing its kinda like howling or yodeling try it its fun

[spongebobslushpants1]

what the heck does this music video mean?

[spongebobslushpants1]

awesome song anyway though

[chasingamour]

it doesnt have to MEAN anything (:

[mikeandjanane]

This song is about the music world around him at the time.ex-manager Martine, mother of Tim's son Ben, dressed him up lined his eyes and called him pretty for the camera.But you know,there music is fantastic ! My favorite Band!

[spongebobslushpants1]

hmm... that's really weird; always thought it was about this guy's nutto girlfriend.

[supak1lla]

WHOS THE ORIGINAL SINGER OF THIS SONG MATT NATHANSON...OR THIS FOO JAMES???????????plz answer

[jmaneuv011]

I'm pretty sure James is the original band

[vanostraniii]

Your momma.

[supak1lla]

u noe what ur mom b1tch............asshole

[calvinschools]

possibly one of the best videos ever. Aside from A-Ha of course.

[1BethAnn1]

Now I'm one of those people that doesn't bother to proof read (reade???) p.s. you can so see his lips say come and not sing.

[Reint25]

He sings 'sings', he whispers 'comes'. Funnily enough the subtitles say: 'hums', an indirect reference to cums/comes?

Great song by the way.

[sirthomas23]

Truly.

[1BethAnn1]

Truely, she did only cum when she was on top. But, I do think THIS bed is on fire not HIS bed.

What do people do just reade the lyrics and not listen?

[17ETEP]

"she only sings when she's on top"?

didn't she used to cum when she was on top?

[shesaidohyeah]

I like this song and need to get it.

[LokiofMQT]

Great song and fun vid. Made me want to put a dress on and dance.

[ThoseOneFilms]

This goes sooo freaking well with the American Pie movies. =]

[krogdog]

I remember singing this as a kid on the school bus not even knowing what "laid" or any of the other lyrics meant!

[verysnowiemountain12]

american pie

[lizzy384]

i love this song! that guy is coot.

[LordNecron69]

This Bed is On Fire with Passionate Love.

[CrappyBritches]

passion and love. nice try

[biscocha111]

his bed is on fire not this bed

oh and crappy brtches FUCK YOU!

[MrKevMan]

Read his likps, its THIS. And yes, fuck crappy bitches.

[LordNecron69]

I've always wondered what this hot girl must have been like to engender such a song and now I'm told she was a heroin Junkie. What an A-Ha moment

[abighairywoman]

i like matt nathansnon version better

[Metrosplash]

Such a great and still relevant song about the pretty girls who love geeks, the strange gboys who might get overlooked in the bigger picture. If Kurt Cobain were still with us I think he would enjoy this song. Just a thought.

[shmu89]

How could he relate? He was an influential rock star dating a drug addict. He'd like the idea...but no association.

[Noodz72]

Kurt loved anything. thats what was so awesome about him

[darkassembly]

Very good song here!

[madxawesome]

choice song!

[fitzy20008]

is the singer in the warriors?

[jAgUaRkurt]

wow...

i thought matt's was

the only version...i love this one! =D

n idk but umm...he kinda looks

like kurt cobain Oo

[jejouelaflute79]

This was a great song! Reminds me of Highschool! My best friend got me into listening to James.

[ughtheresnomorenames]

yeah the 80's were pretty awesome too, spawning many of the great punk bands, but i love the 90's cause thats when i was born lol

[joyceannpumpkin]

Jim do you remember St. Ignace;Mich. it wasn't sings was it lover?

[ughtheresnomorenames]

yeah man the 90's were so great =)

[jeff38de]

God, I miss the '90s!

[leeskitten]

Real catchy tune

[unclerico54]

she only CUMs when she's on top!

[PhanSpikenBob]

aaah James is VERY pretty. I like his eyes ;-)

[wtb2612]

Anyone else think of Peal Jam's Corduroy every time you hear this song?

[xpxp16]

whats the original song?

James or Matt Nathanson?

[hahayoullneverknow]

james

[Noodz72]

its "she only cums when shes on top"

[pandahbare]

yep, definitely having a personal dance party to this.

[kanekul]

this song you've heard, Is coming from the movies: American pie The wedding, American pie band camp.

But it's played by 'matt nathanson' - laid

[phawni28]

Just reminds me of the 90s when music was creative and MTV was actually music not shows about 15 yesr olds acting like whores....wow apparently I'm pretty angry!I really do hate most of the music tht's put out there now though.

[oblivion31]

Yeah, music was actually good back then.

[TheChuffins]

iv heard this from a movie, dose any one know what movie that is?

[doodleratdoodle]

The would be American Pie 3. It included a cover of this song

[jtanca1]

The better than ezra version rocks the house

[bohsblur]

carpets ones also.

madchester was TOP....

[iowafilmdude22]

lol, you pathetic spammer. plays with ass.... lol..... that's priceless

[SexyLadyGwen]

This song makes me want to drive to the beach for some reason! Ahahaha

[masterwong2]

lol r math teacher played this song in class after he said that a girl in our class's realationship reminded him of this song

[regenmachtnass09]

Great video, great song!

I like that humour, and his hair, what a cuty ;-)

[sleigh93]

pretty god dam bad hairstylist

[tomanytagz]

pretty neat...had this song stuck in my head when my gf was on top i didn't cum, i know she did,had 2 change the sheets

[marabe6]

[tomanytagz]

[RapterX]

Nice, dude

[QueenyMcfaggot]

How about me? Can I meet her?

Burp!

[TepDavid25]

i think the song goes better with american pie than this video lol

she only cums when she's on top. I use to wear a dress occasionally, to the clubs, In my younger days.
