Eddplant - Girl Can't Dance (Original Song)

[ekstar5000]

@eddplant what a potentially perfectly messed up love song... any thoughts on a music video?

[alexidindakis]

I remember hearing this song when it first came out, I feel inlove with it. It's helped me to get into a better mood whenever I'm feeling down, so I guess I thank you for always cheering me up.

[MiloIsCute17]

Naww! Your facial expressions are sooooo cute! =P

[Johannasmirror]

I'd love to be able to download this version, or another like it, with just you on the guitar, from dftba or itunes... thoughts?

[Jessiccaarr]

Having only just discovered you, I have been listening to some of your stuff here on the tube of you. So far this has to be one of my faves. Along with Less Than Three. So like any recommendations of more like similar sounding songs?

[GeorgiaAndFez]

@Jessiccaarr 'We Parted' and 'What's It like' perhaps? They're both great songs. Also, Untitled is my personal favourite (all songs I mentioned are from his album Confidence Tricks)

[MsRadchild]

My, you are quick to reply! Well, honestly, I did give a listen to Delilah, simply because I am familiar with it, and listened to your take in its entirety! Very nice vocals. You sounded a bit hoarse, but it was beautiful with the delivery. I appreciate that toward the end you had the words down so you weren't glancing at the lyrics and could relate to the camera with intense emotion. Yes, I really like your voice and maybe we'll see you at Vidcon!

[eddplant]

@MsRadchild I hope so!

[MsRadchild]

My daughter liked your video so I checked it out, and I do, too. It's very sweet and I like it that you're not a cusser. So many people talking so filthy--no need to get your thoughts out, just be sweet and tell it like it is. Very simple, very adequate, and in that simplicity is your brilliance!

[eddplant]

@MsRadchild I'm glad you like my video! (Just the one?) I do think that sometimes "cuss" words can be useful - and even necessary - to express thoughts and feelings, but I certainly don't believe in their gratuitous use. Overusing any word removes the power from it.

[milly484746]

I FIGURED IF I WROTE IN CAPITALS YOU MAY SEE THIS- ok, maybe not... *sigh*. Hi Ed :) Just wanted to say that you are awesome, you have the most beautiful eyes i've ever seen and great hair. Oh, and the piercings are cute too. You are a great musician with a captivating voice who writes amazing songs. I truly appreciate the effort you make :)

[samsamsammy100]

u should ask more people to sugest song ideas to u

[SocrateSoul]

i think a recent @Sarcaschicks video demonstrates conclusively that this lovely lady can, in fact, dance. jussayin'.

[GeekyNinjah]

@TheHoney1993 what are the chords for the song? i would really like to know :)

[r66na]

Are your eyes purple? or is it just me

[RydiCrepsley]

I love this song! You're brilliant. And your voice, it's just... aaaah!! <3

[NoRegretsxl3]

You are the sexiest man alive -3

i love your voice.

Ahhh.

[blondbrunetteredhed1]

i cant dance either !!! yeah !!!!

( i sound stupid )

[gelingelingx]

I am in love with this song. Seriously. It is just brilliant! <3

[logibear123]

On the version on Quietly Confident, do you whistle Pachelebel's Canon in D over the top of the chords? Because if I'm right, that's pretty fucking epic.

[eddplant]

@logibear123 yeah, yep, I did do that

[justsobella]

I'm sorry. Did you mean, "my life?"

[completeidiot19]

An amazing song... and I can think is "I have that mirror!" I'm an idiot.

[AlexGoesCahrayzee]

When he sang "Dont stop!" I had this mischievous grin...

[SarahMossify]

This song has been stuck in my head for like 3 days. I'm ok with it though. :)

[RackiePlib]

My friends are beginning not to like this song as I sing it every time we talk about dancing. Which is a lot for a group of people that can't dance... >.<

[muselover112]

jkdgfhjsdgsj i just can't even jhdgkjshjhfd i love this song i've been watching this video constantly since it came out 3 years ago okay

[Absyyx]

.. I love this song so much <3

[banz224]

[SarahCozz]

Thank you for writing a song about me <3

[kaleidoscopestars]

I vote for you everyday on King of the web, you deserve it. <3

[devdesmusic]

edd ive just gotta say this is probably one of my favorite videos from you

and just thank you for putting up videos every week, you're just so amazingly talented, and you and tom have given me so much inspiration to keep doing what im doing

[ConfusedHippos]

Im guessing you were a fan of hair gel? *-*

[theonethatiam]

[makeupmayhem957]

I can't dance either. We should form a club where we all terrible dance together. xD

[TheCheeseandlemon]

@eddplant lol if you say so

[RaynaOfSunshine]

@TheCheeseandlemon What about him???

[coolnessinacup]

@eddplant oh sorry I didnt realize how arrogantly I came across! I love this song so much, like it probably is for you but it will never ever become overplayed. Btw I love you and still got legs was amazing :) dftba

[lucyaliceee]

@coolnessinacup No, you weren't being arrogant! Edd was being a dick.

[coolnessinacup]

my friend pointed out you should record an acoustic version of this because we prefer this to the version on itunes

[eddplant]

@coolnessinacup feel free to continue watching this video, then.

[MrKristofferE]

i am starting a band with my friends and i hope it turns out good :D

[LaurneCanRead]

[Redemogirlsix]

[TheHoney1993]

[thedogbird44]

I just bought your album. This is my favorite song. Great work!

[Redemogirlsix]

"but sod it neither can i" sooo sexy!! And i cant dance...

[DontCategorizeMe]

[miekelittlcrazy]

3.09 most sexy damn ever...

[pinkmusiicluva]

61 people can't dance and are uptight about it.

[kikitikiboom]

This song is amazing :) for some reason I can imagine The Wombats singing this... :)

[VonnieRules]

This song is brilliant and the lyrics are hilarious, especially the last part.

[MRdrummerkid12541]

Best.song.ever!

[Tox1cSoundWave]

Absolutly brilliant :)

[eddplant]

@talster101 For one thing, I only have one album. For another, you could easily search for "Eddplant Girl Can't Dance" and find out immediately.

[Lickmytoe]

@eddplant as much as I love this song etc, you don't have to be snide to people who want to buy your music, be grateful bro. Some people are too retarded to use google.

[ohhcmoncmoncmon]

haha, nice :)

[LEGGIONFilms]

Is the girl in LTA movie club or am I mistaken?

[TheCrazyChrisi]

i love the "sod it neither can i" :D

[EmmaTakesTheWorld]

I. Love. This. Song. Hahaha.. :D

[suherke]

[mintchick97]

[1deeOnline]

I love this it's fantastic :)

[pockadotmusicjam]

i love this song to death! :P but is it why that hot musicians live in england?! it would be fun to hear live ... :'(

[alexis474542]

Youre so lovely edd! If i were ten years older id marry you for sure xD

[TheColbyChord]

This song brings me so much joy.

[12DontSpeak]

I wish I could buy this song off of itunes... T^T

[eddplant]

@12DontSpeak Do you mean you wish you could afford to? Because it is on iTunes...

[12DontSpeak]

@eddplant No. Some reason itunes doesn't let my buy it I don't know why... but I found it on Amazon so it's all good...

I listened to it all weekend =]]

[RyuuGakuSadie]

OH MY GOD stop yelling. It's not the same thing as singing.

[bunnies2000]

@RyuuGakuSadie you did not just insult ed's voice........

[mymphr]

I'm doing a cover of this song for the DFTBA cover album! You rock, Eddplant.

[ZombiexRepublic]

Pretty please do a show in America?

[oliviaaemily]

the girl sounds a bit like kate nash :)

[bunnies2000]

you should make a music video for this song with like studio version and everything!

[glasto1girl]

Eddplant your voice is amazing! One of my friends has decided this song is about me :( but it is one of my favourite songs.

p.s. come play a few gigs up north?

[meemsbilly]

This girl can't dance either...not that it really matters :)

[FredAndElle]

I first heard this song when I was in London last summer and heard about this Youtube-concert that was taking place. I really loved this song, but then I forgot about it for a couple of months. By accident I found this video and remembered how much I loved it. Now I've been listening to it for 2 hours. Slightly addicted.

[stchaza123]

55 people can't dance.

[krazgrlw8n4acure]

Tell me, why is this on iTunes as explicit?

[projectrunwaywatcher]

@krazgrlw8n4acure Cuz the song IS explicit on the album version. He says the f-bomb really loud toward the end.

[fraserrx]

you're really good and you have nice eyes :)

[laxtitude26]

what are the chords to this song? i love it! (: you're amazing!

[watchforthealiens123]

this song suits me, very very well

[princessbillybob13]

Haha, this made me laugh! Wonderful lyrics! XD

[qwerqs3]

where is exampleee

[eddplant]

@qwerqs3 how should I know? I'm not his mother.

[italk2acamera]

@qwerqs3 its a different song, this is DECENT music, not written by a company, music made by the performer. not a button in a studio :)

[eddplant]

@italk2acamera yeah, thanks for jumping to my defense, but Example also writes decent music, and collaborates with a number of artists (just as I do) to construct studio recordings of them. NO music is created by simply pushing a button.

[italk2acamera]

@eddplant but the point im making is artists nowa days dont really write there own songs and thats why i hate most mainstream music, cuz its not there songs there singing, it would be alright if they said it was a cover but they claim it as there own if you get what i mean

[eddplant]

@italk2acamera that's just not true, though. Yes, there are many bands and artists who rely on songwriters but those songwriters are paid and receive credit for their work. Most of the time the artist themselves will have a lot of input, even if most of the structure of the song is figured out by someone who makes a living doing it. That said, there are a LOT of bands and artists who write ALL their own material, and afaik, Example is one of them.

[italk2acamera]

@eddplant well then im mistaken, oh well, good song anyway :D

[qwerqs3]

@italk2acamera you sure sound like an ignorant son of a bitch

[italk2acamera]

@qwerqs3 your opinion. i dont see how tho, i like my music you like yours. k. bye.

[benn648]

ohh man u made me deaf

[ashman3600]

this song.. i cant help but think of some arctic monkeys in acoustic

[JustaPersonNotaLabel]

you should put this on itunes :)

[PeachieCakes]

@JustaPersonNotaLabel He has an album on itunes.

[teterrible]

I like the Bunker Hill version a bit better.

[BombardWithMuffins]

what exactly are you doing with your tongue in 3:20? :D

[LNArrh]

don´t be sad, i´m sure you can dance.

[BombardWithMuffins]

oh still watch this video about 3 times a week. i love it. :)

[IlnousaimeleMonsieur]

Why can I never see your fretboard!? It's so frustrating because I want to learn the chords to like all of your songs xD

[joosterbean]

3:08 so cute ' damn'

[lucyaliceee]

The amount of times the events in this song have occured in my life is uncomprehendable...

[YourMindWillBeBlown]

i like the way you say "sod it" :)

[IndigoAngelGirl]

I love how you comment back to like every one :D I love this song! I don't know how to dance... I don't try I can do the slow dancing things just not the other ones

[YouRoxMySoxs07]

While I was waiting to cross main street I was listening to this song and I had to fight the urge to dance nearly naked across the road. It changed my whole day. Thank you EddPlant your Cd was the best x-mas present.

[danceforeversl]

I love this... and I can dance! haha not to sound egotistical or anything... :)

[TotallyAwesomeTimes7]

This explains me =]

I can not dance for my life...

[jmridingred]

new personal anthem. looooove.

[SaraahLoveeYouu]

Damn.

xD ~Looove!

[NicoleCorp77]

your videos and songs are so cute :D

[nerdiepoppy]

lex sounds like kate nash :)

[OneWwomanShow]

Is there any way I can down load the song with out the swearing? Its just, younger siblings and what not. 

[Emmybean947]

When I first heard this, my mind went - "Oh dear, when did Eddplant see me attempt to dance" Hahaa ! Then I realised it was about Lex :L

[MannequinToes]

I thought of this song yesterday at a gig when my friends all looked very cool dancing I was just stood there awkwardly... made worse by the fact there were less than 10 of us dancing with everyone else sat round the edge....

[lucysingsandtalks]

I apologise for my ignorance, but are those moles or face piercings?

[TheLeyla007]

@lucysingsandtalks piercings =D

[LolaaLovesYou]

I cannot get enough of this song! :]

[Devalorify]

funny and great concept(: love singing this around the house. You should put the chords or tab up! I'm picking this one up by ear but It's killing me not knowing your other songs but if you could put some chords up in the underbar that would be pretty sweet if you have time. :] <3 Great job you're cool!

[Insomniacanbefun]

I've literally been singing this all day long: on the way home from school, at wal-mart, at home. I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!

[blueberrygirl112]

i like the mix of your voice and lex's voice its a nice combo 

[themightywilliphant]

I love this song, i've been listning to it like non stop for agees :D

[SARAandSUCH]

I love this song <3 couldn't have wrote it better :)

[Noxluc]

This song was key choosing to purchase the album. Thanks, Edd.

[LIZZIEISSOOCOOLLIKE]

eddplant u r amazing XD

[Rebeccaisstillhere]

Why is the girl's part lower than the guy's part?

[DorisAndDave]

Hello lex :)

[TheEmmalee]

Why wasn't Lex on the album version? :(

[eddplant]

@TheEmmalee That's just the way it worked out. Lex wasn't available to record at the time, and it made more sense for the story to be told from the guy's perspective, recalling what the girl said to him.

[mrsaliiison]

Ooouuuch. Ed, you're hot, I can't stop looking at this video!

[makayelizabeth]

I was listening to this song while driving a week or so ago, and I was singing along like I do. So I'm about to turn when every car ever made comes down the street (slight exaggeration), and me being me, I yell "FUCK!" Moral of the story, my swearing was timed perfectly to make the line "That girl can't FUCK!" Definitely one of those times when I wished someone else had been there to enjoy the moment with me.

[madzoid36]

Totally obsessed with this song

[stripypanda]

I love this, but I adore the random swearing in thee album version. ^_^

[Jorginajij]

I think I may know that girl!!!:)

[julietissolikekool]

i own thisss song well the e.p verison any who ^o^ andddd i waz just wondering iffffff you ever look back at a vid and said man what was i thinking?

[WOWitsTriona]

I've had this on repeat for ages. Looove it!!

[ilovemyraybans]

i love this version better than whats on your album! are you planning to do an acoustic version of your album? because you totally should. ugh this sounds mean. i love your album, but i like this version SO much and i want to be able to have it as well? <3 <3

[ShakespeareFrost]

I am determined to learn this song. So it is commented, so it shall be done. Eventually. I hope. =S

[Rebeccaisstillhere]

I never noticed how blue your eyes are...

[eddplant]

@Rebeccaisstillhere my eyes are brown...

[invisemble]

@eddplant they're so brown, they look blue to a special group of people.. :)

[Rebeccaisstillhere]

@eddplant That's what I thought. But the video makes them look blue

[angelbites15]

@eddplant i think they were talkin about the girl silly! :D

[EpicFailsism]

@eddplant LOL! You couldn't have made fail any more prominent, could you? xDD

[SeamusPlease]

@eddplant it might be sad but i actually think that this is one of the most funny comments i have ever seen in my life

[yourstrulymusuc]

@eddplant At the beginning, when you're talking about the song, the light reflects on your eyes and they look very blue.

[andyreade]

@Rebeccaisstillhere fail...

[MsExistential]

@Rebeccaisstillhere Every time I read your comment and his reply it brightens my day.

[Rebeccaisstillhere]

@MsExistential Every time I read comments like yours, it makes me feel hated

[MsExistential]

@Rebeccaisstillhere I'm sorry you feel like that. Brightening someone's day should always be a positive thing, no matter how silly of a way it happens.

[Rebeccaisstillhere]

@MsExistential That was ment to be sarcastic. I even laugh at my mistkae. But I still think the video makes his eyes look blue. I swear I don;t do drugs!

[MsExistential]

@Rebeccaisstillhere Oh good, I was like jeez I didn't mean to offend.. haha

Sort of, to me it looks like he's looking at a blue light for part of the video.

[nerdiepoppy]

@Rebeccaisstillhere ahahaa. FAIL xD

[izabellathewiccan]

@Rebeccaisstillhere They are brown the lights, reflect a bluish tint to them. :)

[bloorisarah]

your voice is so soothing! i love listening to your music....keep playing!
