Dave Matthews Band: Funny The Way It Is: "Looney the Way It Is"

[SuperJNG18]

This video would have been perfect had you not put in a clip of See You Later, Gladiator, unarguably the worst Looney Tune of all time.

[SarahCollins2UE]

Simply amazing - great song but very clever is all I can say

[marting69la]

The best video.. Best than real one, without offens you dave! very cool. I havent seen n a long long time! t

[rhodestwins]

Dave Mathew's band.

Rooooooooooooooooooooooooocks.

[USMANchampNO1]

It is a very nice song which is based upon the truth.

that is why i like it.

and this video is well put together.

you must had to go through a lots of cartoons to come up with all these small parts.

nice work i like it.

Dave Mathew Band rooooooooooooooooocks.

[antsmarching100]

i dont think this did the world justice...

[Lynch6833]

"back in 2003"??? Why so long between concerts?

The video is incredible, never got around to commenting. Nice work.

[BubblesTheDuck]

KEWL!!!!

[MrCopperhead1861]

Made me grin :D

[iconicview]

I like this video

[sweendoger]

I can only hope to make something that cool onm day. Congrats! Thanks itis fricking awsome!

[adiosk8er63]

how the hell do ppl come up with this shit lol

[crayon055]

your gay

[lprocks237]

@crayon055 and i'm straight now that we got that out of the way what do you think of the video?

[JacoboHunter]

que lindo video, me recuerda a mi infancia.

[musicrocker012]

Best!!!!

[diegorodza]

Great combination of clips with one of the better songs of all times... :)

[Chaseevers]

Cool

[rsbevers]

Hhaha

[cbrown1221]

I marveled I cryed And almost coughed up my guts laughing!!! =-)=-)=-)=-)=-) good job!

[beepbeepgac]

WATERHAULER99 : They offered me tickets to a live show, but have yet to deliver. I haven't really made an effort to cash in on it, either. I will, though! I saw them back in 2003, and it was one of the best live concerts I have ever seen!

[Lynch6833]

@beepbeepgac "back in 2003"??? Why so long between concerts?

The video is incredible, never got around to commenting. Nice work.

[beepbeepgac]

"Mango" and "Yodabelly": I understand that the song is deeper than my video expresses. I only did it for fun, using clips from Looney Tunes as I've done for many other fan-videos over the last few years. This one just seems to have struck a chord with DMB and their fans, and I'm flattered by it. For the record, I liked their official video too, but rather than illustrating the song literally or figuratively, it took a very random, stop-motion approach.

[WATERHAULER99]

funny. good job. dave should have hired you to do the video.

[SayYesToOceans]

perfectly not perfect. this fits the song as well as it doesnt. (thats the point ...)

[princesskaykie]

This made me soo happy! I *LOVE* how it's so well done & it brings the song to life in a way that anyone can understand without "knowing" the lyrics! GREAT JOB!! This makes me smile :D

[yodabelly]

if you didn't like the idea of a looney tune version of the video,  then why did you click on the title "looney the way it is"

sounds to me like you are a cum guzzler, bitch.

(And so the flame war begins - he he he he)

[tonyf686]

ya no shit you were really looking for an argument haha

[JimmyDbzFreak]

wow this is awesome!!!

[CandyceGirl]

Totally awesome..."f a n t a s t i c" Amazing how you got the lyrics to the clips. Thanks! Great job.

[radpolice]

this is fantastic. love the song, and the cartoons matched up great. im impressed

[ctaylor1103]

This is the best video of this song. i miss those cartoons and this song is legit in all aspects.

[styzian]

this is way better than the original video....

[fallendude01]

cool vid man, it fits

[JacoboHunter]

Te amo beepbeepgac

[theresab72]

AMAZING video! That's the only word for it...amazing!

A brilliant video well done

[theodore6002]

such a great videoo

not only did dmb approve it on facebook, but on twitter : "There is a video of Classic cartoons edited together to fit Funny that is quite magical. Very clever bastard made that one."

[yugiohyo555]

nice

[lmgillin]

Incredible song and awesome video.

[NDState14]

idk bout the rest o ya'll but i think this guy just became my new hero. GREAT VIDEO DUDE!!! and great song!!! thanks!!!!

[Martofla]

I think that this video is more efficient than the official one..the production and the kind of video of the official is more for a song like shake me like a monkey.. those who be agree, be my guess..

[Liliownz]

altogh i TOTALLY agree with you(that the original was weird) he was trying to send a message that the world is so sad that is funny. thas mabye why he wuz acting weird, but i dunno

[coldie06]

awesome video!!!!!!!!!!

[delsosoares]

excelent song!!! ...and nice video!!!

[CharlieJamzz]

Awesome!!!!  Thank You!!!!

[heartharper]

could you be more literal? stupid. anybody with a computer could've done this. Use your right brain. be creative. clearly not any kind of artist. Thumbs down.

[ehhsielove]

this video is p e r f e c t (:

thanks.

[ehhsielove]

this song is amaazing (:

& this video also awesome.

[SuperCow753]

This Vid matches the song exactly :PP

[HalfBillion]

Dave Matthews himself commented about this on his twitter

[rebeccafromva]

Wow! That's great! I love DMB but this blows his wacky video away...which I happen to love by the way.

[ironmaiden659]

that was the best thing my family's ever seen on youtube

[Davester03]

this is great well done..so much better than the actual video for the song

[siatexas]

Thanks so much. I have been a DMB fan for most of my life and this video brings a smile to my face every time I watch it. Just awesome.

[smashfox33]

wow i remember all of those episodes

[IrishSnwbrdr]

AWESOME!!!!

[0BleuFever0]

that was good!

[Needtsza]

That was so freakin' amazing! O-M-G! totally saved as a favorite and wanna tell everyone I know!

[dsergi]

great job..much better than the one DMB put out for this song...I read on Twitter Dave saw it and loved it...Congrats

[jl06712]

nice. where did you get all these clips?

[animefreak000666]

oh, the memories... thumbs up x infinity!!

[opieakaryan]

Very good. Bright future ahead for you! You should do this with all of DMB video. Cult following.

[Needtsza]

they totally should!

[happynotdopey]

Ha!!! Clever, the way it is! Good job, beepbeepgac! Thank you! :-)

[gasperfam]

Nice job! It was very entertaining :)

[gog848islucas]

cool

[makinudie]

Soooooooooo Gooooooooooood, thanks for the smiles

[grossmail1]

so this is the video dave was talking about on twitter this is good

[Needtsza]

did he?!

[THETexJWP]

GREAT JOB!

[beepbeepgac]

I have now seen the official video. I like it and think it's a nice throwback to old-school 80's videos, particularly Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer"...which is one of my favorite music videos of all time. Still, people are gravitating towards my little Looney Tunes video. Thank you, DMB and fans! And hey, Warner Bros! Wake up and get these classic films back on TV where they belong!!!!

[mrskfl8]

This is awesome!!! Great Job...very creative!

[rickharring]

Great job!!

[filmtress]

beepbeebgac, you got the attention of big "D". Hats off to you.

[amanda3444]

relates so well to the song

[ceadkins]

don't you mean... "too", not to... since we're all being a little condescending...

[scgbennett]

Checking out Dave on Twitter & he commented on this so... I had to check it out. Great job...very cool!

[lijionatrof]

te zarpaste

me encantó!

[firefly2188]

This is amazing...you did such a good job

[VanillaRaspberry]

Dave's Tweet - 'There is a video of Classic cartoons edited together to fit Funny that is quite magical. Very clever bastard made that one.'

about 5 hours ago from Twitterrific

I agree, beepbeepgac - it is quite magical!

[JayBTV]

Heard about this on twitter (Re: Dave) - Great work!

[michaelus02]

also heard about that via twitter, definitely a great video!

[jshyne213]

Way better then the real video

[marchingant88]

do you even know what the real video is about?

[jshyne213]

Do you? could you be a little more condescending to while your at it?

[marchingant88]

oh sorry..i didnt mean it to sound like that. i was just asking if you see the symbolism in the real video. True, i think that dave shouldve done a serious video for this song, however, the real music video tells a story except not the story in the song..

[johnslagle]

Brilliant! Thank you

[humanmess]

You clever bastard. lol

[leahcim3360]

really good -- like Dave says on Twitter.

[mammacaryn]

This is fantastic. I love it!

[alanabeth911]

Totally fun! Great work!

[biomorfo]

indeed!!! " There is a video of Classic cartoons edited together to fit Funny that is quite magical. Very clever bastard made that one "

[Free4Life05]

Awesome video, Dave talked about it on twitter! Good job!

[jaimejean478]

I think Dave just gave you a shout out via twitter... nice work!

[miibco]

Excellent - really, really excellent! Very clever edit. Very entertaining. Just heard the album hit Billboard #1 in it's first week so congrats to Dave and the boys as well

[Hornadayfan]

Outstanding!

[rosstheboss72268]

yes just passed 3rd grade if not happy for me u suck monkey balls and oh yea im a 9 year old girl

[ABCDEFGHIJA124]

This is awesome *adds on favs* AWESOME JOB omg i just made a pyramid out of starburst because of this song LOL

[undirdog64]

the song doesnt match the looney tunes at all, still awesome video, but the song isnt about humerous things, its a sad song. read the lyrics

[nhfootball2008]

Yes but that is the Irony of the video. Are the events in the song actually "funny"? Watch the actual funny the way it is music video and you will see that this video is actually not too far off..

[leahcim3360]

funny 'strange'

Life is an unpredictable MIX of good for some, bad for others.

A PUZZLE.....

'funny the way it is'

Oh yeah, Dave Matthews ( as he said on Twitter) likes it....I guess that's approval enough.....

[technosource]

i love this song its awesome

[hallucinociide]

This is very creative.

[iloathusernames]

2:15 With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars...Awesome. Very nice job.

[0Sonique0]

Dude, I love this song and great work. I love it.

[JudyKlein]

BRILLIANT!

[ThatTallskaterguy]

Awesome! good work

[MAD81589]

Genius, absolutely genius I loved it. It takes me back to the good ol' days, And it all fits. Awesome!!!!!!!

[suckafartfrommyass]

this video is fucking amazing

[VanillaRaspberry]

Brilliant!!!  Absofeckinglutely Brilliant!!!

[detroittigers324]

this is a really awesome song

[joeyhockey2305]

1. Cover your mouth with your hand

2. Make a wish into it.

3.Close your hand (make it into a fist)

4. Hold you hand(the fist) to your heart for 5 seconds.

5.Send this to 3 more videos.

6. Tommorow will be the best day of your life

[SmileeMonkee77]

I love the song, love the video. Cool!

[kingpimpbob]

I can't help but love the sync at 1:49 of coyote laughing, oh soo fitting.

[howardchief]

Cannot believe how quickly this was put together ha ha

[thecopywriter84]

a little slow on loading...:(

[NickSayle]

I love this!!!!! thanks for your effort and hard work,

[dmbgurlie]

BRAVO! WELL DONE and THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[jensmiles3]

Congrats to you beepbeepgac for the Official 'thumbs up'. DMB really does embody the best of BOTH worlds - respect for copyright and creative adaptation as a form of praise and compliment. They GET IT! And as a life long fan of Looney Tunes... this is priceless and perfect!

[mrf617dot]

this was excellent! great job

[Krakan20]

wonderful job, the audio seems to be one second a head of the video... but i love this!!!

[Hapirott]

Great Job, Great song.. A+

[gomerkaba]

haha awesome vid!!

[thedancetuber]

they dont make cartoons like this anymore...these were the best, gr8 job on the vid, and dave matthews band is the best!

[sniperbattle]

great song great viedo

[gutiarkid12]

so funny lol

6/5

[MANecci]

Genius!!!

[bluewaterpig]

This doesn't make sense. There's no relation between Looney Tunes and DMB. Yea, the clips sync up to the lyrics......and?

[pxnk]

......and you are an idiot!

[kingpimpbob]

when you think about it though, alot of musicians have put clips together to match their lyrics. The difference here is thers a constant flow of perspective here that doesnt change through the whole song and the clips seem to empathize that with how they are organized,. I love how this was done honestly.

[CheeseAndYogurt]

I love it LOL

[Towndrunk26er]

Bravo.

[jaking1185]

Very nicely done.

[Melaisis]

Perfect editting.

[PKJohnson41]

excellent..i love me some loony tunes and you picked perfect clips for the lyrics...you must have watched alot of cartoons for this..this song is great too..but i already knew that

[haloverkill]

you think, if congress, the house of representatives, and the president, and people of that high in the political system listened to this music, you think they would understand just how real the people they are representing are, how America feels as a whole

[sloperaly]

I think its kind of weird... it doesn't strike me even though I love the lyrics. Maybe it wasn't taken seriously enough for me to make the connection but the vignettes were kind of random

[Farnerud07]

well done.. i applaud thee!

[jackmacokc]

Very creative - really enjoyed it!

[highroller8724]

I usually dont like these kinda things but you did a great job!

[nicolehuguenard]

I love this! Thanks for sharing =)

[jemineye88]

I love this video! And I love how it's Dave approved on facebook. Nice work!

[davesicle]

i'm sure this was alot of fun to make, just watching a ton of looney tunes. Good Job!

[beepbeepgac]

Thanks for the comments, and thanks to Dave Matthews Band for adding this to their Facebook page! To answer a couple of questions: Yes, one of their reps did send me a message and I believe they're going to hook me up with tickets to a show. As for "video rights", well, I doubt it will go that far. After all, I work for neither DMB nor Warner Bros., and obviously it would be up to them to negotiate using it, not me! But I'm flattered by the comments and the endorsement.

[bdistance91]

Wow, you guys did this??? As an actor, I keep telling people that the real talent is in direction and production and post production. You guys rock.

[jsharp85]

this should be the official music video

[andrea528]

That was so clever; you guys did an incredible job! :o)

[RainaaKairi]

haha. that was great.

[lesley71]

Well done. You guys are such an inspiration.

[jetsetter10]

This is fantastic. Excellent work.

[flyswimmer4fun]

I love it and I LOVE that DMB loves it just as much :-D

[BlvdBrenda]

Congrats beepbeepgac on the Kudos from Dave Matthews! That probably doesn't happen often! BTW the video is awesome!

[thelegirl]

It's so perfect, another reason why I L-O-V-E DMB!

[Baeverrotte]

Awesome!

[freebryd]

trash.

[queennicole12]

[shaven123]

[GeriBDMB]

[0hdannyboy]

Holy shiat! great mix of video. Has DMB called you for the video rights yet!?! lol
