[SkeebWilcox]

@TheBorntobomb Even though I LOVE The Proclaimers, this is possibly the most outrageous statement I have ever read in all the YouTube comments I have seen over the years..

[TheBorntobomb]

[4everTheBest16]

Stranger than Fiction change our fictive lives and make us LIVE OUR OWN LIVES TODAY! thumb up for every second!

[kiwipie0]

great job with the video! love it ♥



[LonnieBaty]

My fav song

[SuperMrsPunk]

this song proves my theory that any song that has a hand clap in it will be a huge hit, and will be remembered a lot longer than songs with no clap in it:)

[doltinator1398]

sopsychoticspasm is right



[doltinator1398]

umm actually the song's by the monkees

[DearAdele1]

why would anyone even search this song if they're going to dislike it???

[echopryme]

Fantastic, and reminds me of my custody fight for my daughter, even though I know that's not what its at all about. I would go the whole wide world for her though...

[Darek900xl]

why people dislike this???

[AriasValor3]

I love the Life Aquatic reference at 2:23.

[lusulpher]

This is why Youtube was made. Home-brewed art like this. Great job. have you seen a comedy series called 'Home Movies'?

[ilyrican]

okay now i know the song name. Lets look up how to play that on guitar! :D

[Rottenhaus]

@ilyrican

IIRC, it's just E and A

[dantrance16]

awesomeeeeee vid and song :D

[PsychoticSpasm]

is the song originally by the monkees?

[deltaofwar]

@PsychoticSpasm no i think its wreckless erics.

[IshikStar]

[IshikStar]

[RCP2016]

Nice job on the Life Aquatic sub!!!  ZISSOU!!!

[higgme1ster]

I cannot get enough of this song for its raw feeling on the razor sharp edge of desperation and sanity. And to think I had never heard it until that film. Thanks for dusting this off and putting it up here!

[jaimielanz]

thumbs up

[daffodil97]

for the single men on valentines day-- get out there

[mickd1337]

@daffodil97 when I get the motivation to get out of bed.

[Steamsteam]

From stranger then fiction ;p

[MrBuddhaBond95]

this song is amazing, i don't know why but this song makes me and probably every one else think about there girl in life whether it's a future girl or the one your with now, in later life i probably will travel the world to find that perfect person for me coz im fucking hopeless right now

[misterkwel]

[misterkwel]

[nikolodeon55]

@billyhdz hahah omg yeah! :D

[TheGoldenchild911]

I love this song and I love your video!! ~~<3~~

[rolito777]

Life shows me that when you stop searching something then you finally find it. same thing applies to your lost sock or even your soulmate. is that simple.

[pemawangdi]

optimism..there's always that one girl for one guy...u don't really need to search that far

[MrAntihollywood]

@pemawangdi I dunno, it's hard to find a girl into scat!

[esquiloassasino]

@MrAntihollywood HAHAHAHAHA so true :P

[MrAntihollywood]

@esquiloassasino Finally, somebody gets my sense of humour on youtube :-)

[esquiloassasino]

@MrAntihollywood Hahaha indeed,i bet teh girl your looking for is not in tahiti :P

[MrAntihollywood]

@esquiloassasino Naa! She's on a Street corner in a place called Blackpool!

[esquiloassasino]

@MrAntihollywood WIll be searching for the address LOloL :P

[MrAntihollywood]

@esquiloassasino Shit, maybe think twice before posting stuff like that. Fuck it, What's the worst that could happen? Ha! I'm already picking up girls on street corners to shit on my chest. :-)

[esquiloassasino]

@MrAntihollywood Hahaha well, we do what we gotta do,PPl think its easy to find a girl Into dressing like a bunny and liking my ear.

[MrAntihollywood]

@esquiloassasino Ha! I know the feeling.:-) Maybe one day there will be the special girl for you. I unfortunately know my fate.

[esquiloassasino]

@MrAntihollywood Well..you can always dress as a toilet...just hope a dude doesnt show up :P

[MrAntihollywood]

@esquiloassasino I can only but hope! Did You know you can actually buy a sex toilet? I don't think I could bring myself to buy one. Ha!

[esquiloassasino]

@MrAntihollywood Haha,sad is..while the ppl arpund have simple needs,ppl like us have to do hard stuff to get some pleasure right?:P

[MrAntihollywood]

@esquiloassasino Damn straight! I mean what sort of world is this where you have to pay for fornication? I'm biting my index finger in shame... We should revolt against this travesty!

[QueenBoadicea]

@MrAntihollywood That's the weirdest sexual object I've ever heard. What, exactly, does a sex toilet do? Or what do you do with one?

[MrAntihollywood]

@QueenBoadicea HAHAHA!!! It just so happens to be.... A toilet with just a seat.... No bowl. So you sit on the top bit and shit on your beloved... or piss. O how we giggle for about an hour after seeing one! Don't worry I'm not really into it. Ha! Its quiet repulsive but it makes me giggle... And that's what's important.

[bullydogbean]

She wasnt in Tahiti.  She was in Tx.

[wv6]

12 peple couldnt be arsed to get up and find her lol

[LittleD3]

@mickturbo dude your Twitter says it can't be found.

[mickturbo]

@LittleD3 oops, sorry, it's now @MSaikin

[luvlips1234]

This song is amazing(:

&& stranger than fiction is a fantastic movie(;

[loubas007]

[Twilighted420]

[fallingshadowstar000]

That was pretty awesome :]

[darkklowntim]

I didn't have to search across the world, just had to endure a dozen bad relationships. :)

[xdyingheartx]

love this song



[HumanityIsFailing]

My new favorite song.

[MoeMableFrancois]

11 dislikes have never been in love

[bloodshotcomedy]

there really is only one, it may be depressing but life is pain, and to find 'her' is truelly to contridict the logic of what is known as life. love, the actuall 1 in a millions statistic. peace the 5 in million.

[QueenBoadicea]

This is my favorite of all the versions I've seen so far. Well, I've only heard about four but still! Top of the list!

[tantuko]

i liked the song the moment heard on the movie.....very very very good

[johnnyQuest11]

awesome!!!

make more with other cool songs!

[lolomgnarutoakatsuki]

this is such an amazing song about such devotion to finding that one person that your meant to be with for the rest of your life.

[Gin447]

I know its just a song, but if you travel the whole world just to get fucking laid, you have some problems. It's not that important.

[CubertBeMySuitePee]

@Gin447 It's not about getting laid you tard. It's about going the whole word to find the person you love.

[sugaroftheshack]

This is AWESOME!

[villamartinfun]

Wreckless Eric classic - First heard this some 30 odd years ago when he was virtually unknown, he released a double album which I still have somewhere. Started playing this and a couple of others in local gigs in the college band I was in and they went down real well.

There's some great music about these days but I doubt that much of it will stand the test of time. This song sounds asoriginal today as it did 30 yrs ago.

Check out Broken Girl and Reconnez Cherie by the same artist.....

[PunkWillNevrDie]

@villamartinfun Yeah man, he is such a great artist. I have a bunch of his stuff and love it all.

[alias1392]

i love this video, i love this song, and i love my life. thank you :)

[TheEugeneification]

Finn should sing this son to rachel on GLEE. Either that or Will to Emma

[chattykat55hotmail]

Awesome Video-I especially like the submarine scene (Steve Zissou!)

[zimgir5000]

[TheBSxperience]

@zimgir5000 Stranger Than Fiction. And your lucky as crap. If I ever got to watch a movie as good as that in my crapp excuse for a school. I would praise the gods

[zimgir5000]

@TheBSxperience yeah thats what it was.. such a good movie. and haha yeah it was awesome watching it in school. my teacher was prettty chill and laid back most of the time. it was a good class

[TheBSxperience]

@zimgir5000 I wish I had ur teacher.

[Browncoatt22]

@TheBSxperience That is such a good movie, nearly made me cry. I just bought it :)

[TheBSxperience]

[GayGeisha]

[mrscristha]

[RequiemofXavier]

Lighters! In the air!

[SuperMishelley]

@avaburkhart  Eric Goulden aka "Wreckless Eric" wrote this in '74, the Monkees covered it in '87.

[avaburkhart]

the monkeys sing it

[Browncoatt22]

@avaburkhart Its Wreckless Eric who wrote it dumbass

[Browncoatt22]

@avaburkhart Wreckless Eric released this in '77. The Monkees (which you can't even spell Mr. Music expert) covered it in '87.

[zimgir5000]

[jtwhicker]

[FeStFilm]

Wreckless Eric. A few years ago a best of album was released.

Great Video!

[avaburkhart]

@DanhiMichinin its the monkees who sing this originaly

[hazard1821]

Wreckless Eric originaly sings it

[FlaviaSantosbr]

Hahaha!!! Very good job!!!

[bionicbela]

This is one of life's pleasures.. everytime I hear this song, it never fails to reduce me to a stupid grin. I still love it after all these years. Pure genius.

[AzRockscc]

Awesome!! Love the video you made and it's one of the best recordings of this song on youtube. : )

[pivart]

cingratz, my little bro is learning to play this on the ukelele

[ineedanewname9595944]

great video!

[TheTroubledTribble]

One of the songs that never gets old, never ceases to amaze you every time you listen to it.

[LoveMeAndMyMusic]

this song just gives hope to everyone that there is love out there for every single person in the world if they just go looking for it.

<3 i love this jam.

[STRINT3D]

Congratulations! This is a 2 chord power guitar song and you've captured the themes of unrequited love and romantic heroic quest perfectly, with your colour and B&W animations... restraint leaves room for imagination!

[sublime2joints1]

a fucking mazing

[daninelk]

When I was a young boy My mama said to me There's only one girl in the world for you And she probably lives in Tahiti I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her Or maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Carribean sea is blue Weeping in a tropical moonlit night Because nobody's told her 'bout you...

[daninelk]

...

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world

Just to find her

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world

Find out where they hide her....

[daninelk]

...

Why am I hanging around in the rain out here

Trying to pick up a girl

Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears

When there're girls all over the world

[daninelk]

...

Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere

Underneath the tropical sun

Pining away in a heatwave there

Hoping that I won't be long

I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her

Caressing her warm brown skin

And then in a year or maybe not quite

We'll be sharing the same next of kin

[iWillEatYu]

can anyone tell me who made this cover? :S

please?

[REDMEAT1969]

This is NOT a cover,,,it is the original Reckless Eric recording of it!

The Proclaimers(and many others) covered it...

[desertmusic13]

my boyfriend sang this to me. it reminds me of him

[Lisa13245]

That's the sweetest thing! So cute!

[alejandragrey]

El grupo se llema Wreckless Eric y forma parte del soundtranck de Stranger than Fiction

[iGoodmusic]

TODO EL MUNDO  LA VOY A ENCONTRAR!!!!

[nakin01]

a huevo si no se busca no se encuentra¡¡ yo tambein la buscare

[sevitiger7]

i love this song!!!!

[bloodshotcomedy]

the real search is a lot more tragic than a cartoon and takes a lot longer to than 2:56 to find her... but then again if she was that easy there would be no challenge... it would be boring otherwise. irony, the fuel of life, lol

[QueenBoadicea]

@bloodshotcomedy I think there is a hint of tragedy or at least discouragement in this. The man's mother tells him there's only one girl out there for him and she's probably miles away. WTH?! What kind of mother tells her kid that? Way to encourage the troops, ma!

[bloodshotcomedy]

@QueenBoadicea as i had typed. irony fuels a lot of what we do, or at least it seems like it does. she may be a bitch, but at least shes honest

[RadicalNotion]

@bloodshotcomedy up your butt

[LuckyCharms432]

@bloodshotcomedy well that was surprisingly insightful

[Telstar62a]

I love the video; a bit scruffy and handmade, and quite adept. Very much in the spirit of the song and fits so well.  I'm sure Eric would approve!

[LarryCurran]

Super dope. He iz zee Zissou

[Lisa13245]

Love this song!

[DNAngela]

Clever.

[Irockstretchies]

ugghhh valentines day 2008. I really like this song. Stranger than Fiction!
