Janelle Monáe - "Wondaland"

[kaellamarie]

"the music floats you gently on your toes" - that line makes me feel like I'm dreaming.

[MrSnowWhite6]

I feel Like i should Be Watching Alice and Wonderland while listen to this i just Really Love this song

[spiffyredrose]

@MrSnowWhite6 YES! you just said my exact words! :)

[LuisManuelLealDias]

I just love to read the sentence "NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED". Does the uploader of the video knows what copyright even means? It means that if you made a copy of the music by uploading it to youtube, then you have infringed the law that states you have no right to do so. That is what "copyright" means.

Note however, I'm not arguing for or against copyright here.

[Parchybangin]

Wow (!), Thanks for the escape.... LooOOVVVVEEE this song !!!

[jelaninassir]

james brown reincarnated

[Medullaboi]

Great holiday song in the snow.

[nightmareXinspector]

she's just the best thing ever.

this song is just gorgeous.

[IDontKnowCorp]

Ms. Monáe, continue to rock every thing please

[ThePhya]

She is a legend in the making. She transcends genre. So complex. She carries a message. She commands respect! Im in love.

[moniqueshaynes]

I love this song sooooo much it reminds me of discovering a new world lmbo i know #DorkyMuch?!?!?!?!?! LOL

[twisstf]

This a cute, fun song to listen to :)

[israoliva]

wena!

[mrmiles725]

Just read that she's releasing two albums next year...

[Roomatesfan]

the lyrics actually say "she thinks she left her underpants" that is.........AWSOME!!!!

[fbloise]

This is so beautiful, glad to know there are artist out there like her making REAL music in these days of pure recycled garbage...

[Moog167]

When I first heard this...I was like "THIS MUST BE IN EITHER A CHRISTMAS COMMERCIAL OR A GAP COMMERCIAL FOR CHRISTMAS!!!"

[twisstf]

@Moog167 I thought it was something that would be played on Victoria's Secret playlist.

[Moog168]

@twisstf ....Hmmmm......Great thought....it would sound amazing in both store playlists but I think "Say you'll go" or "Babopbyeya" would be better for the V.S. playlist.

[jfari101]

this is a perfect winter song

[PookiePorn]

@jfari101 haha. i think the opposite

this is a great summer song

i just walked to the beach listening to this song

love it

[BadHairsRevenge]

@jfari101 I totally agree! I can't wait to drive in the snow to this song!!!

[MaiLeo1]

I love this song too

[fackinternet]

after cold war this is the best song!!!!

[jippyjester]

this is so good.......classiest album in years, this one

[chicolofi]

This is Music. Sorry, this is MUSIC.

[kay77764]

i like this song! even tho it sounds like it came from another planet. is she a alien? lol just playn

[cosmiccoolgirl]

@kay77764 She's an alien from outer space, she's a cyber girl without a space, a heart or a mind.

[DancingSpiderman]

Wow. Suck a pretty and interesting song.

And the musical Old Farts complain that there is no good music nowadays.

damianpaz, it's okay to yerk off to this song. Just don't pull a PeeWee Herman. haha

[cade11]

This needs to have a music video!

[DrGyalfren]

Just bury me to this. And Sam Cooke. 

[Demetri124]

This is such a wonderful song but it's barely heard. Meanwhile, Beyonce shakes her butt on stage and gets award after award

[Svineinfluenza]

1.27: "Asian dudes, dance in the trees."

[kidsandjazz]

@Svineinfluenza lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooo i died

[damianpaz]

First of all let me tell you that: I LOVE THIS WOMAN.

That said, am I the only one who listens "touch my weiner" in this song?

Am I such of a jerkoff?

[MrUKFORLIFE]

@damianpaz According to the lyrics I looked up , she's saying.... "You touched my wires." LOL @ weiner.....

[anidiego]

Por que canciones como esta no son las top de los charts? Música para mis oídos!

[cade11]

They need a music video of this song!

[ariel12955]

...How on Earth does this have so little views?

[HighKingTurgon]

@ariel12955 Because we're all busy listening to the album. : )



[ariel12955]

@HighKingTurgon Very true(: can you imagine how awesome a music video would be to this song?!

[HighKingTurgon]

@ariel12955 Absolutely. There are days when all I want is to listen to this song, lie on my back and ebb in and out of the world.

[hippyblood4]

Prince's new favorite artist. That says what?????????

[SholaMind21]

@hippyblood4 IKR!!! xD

[KTBEverlasting]

@hippyblood4 That says everything. She's just that awesome.

[chemiah]

@hippyblood4 An artist having anything to do with Prince is the kiss of death; besides she's not fair enough of skin for the color-struck Watchtower seller

[hippyblood4]

@chemiah when u say "kiss of death". r u referring 2 their career afterwards? If u r, he has nothing 2 do with her's, and ur reference 2 her complexion has nothing 2 do with the two of them as they r not lovers (if that's) what u mean. I also know 4 a fact that he's dated dark skinned women, as I was there. If I'm wrong in both cases (about what u mean) then I apologize, and I would love 4 u 2 expound..................peace­.

[criostoirdub]

Friend just introduced me to them...sweet love it!!!

[shezzie121]

I Love The Begging Shes So Amazing N Da First Verse

[118Voyager]

A lot of people actually try and compare her to Lauryn Hill. I can see the comparison a little but to me they're two totally different worlds.

[QueenAnime99]

@118Voyager The similarities are very striking in "Neon Valley Street." But, yeah, songs like this one are VERY different from Lauryn's music. LOL.

[NecrochildK]

The bit at 0:39 is driving me nuts! I know I've heard that short bit of tune somewhere in the 80s, I think in tv somewhere, but I can't place it!

Very much love this song, but I'm going bonkers trying to identify that little tiny piece!

[dementedpuppy]

it's like a female marvin gaye

[siamesehummer]

Someone had the audacity to try and tell me that she was a hip hop artist. I was almost offended. Nothing against Hip Hop, I love it, but Janelle has So many more influences to be called simply Hip Hop. I like to call her Alternative Electronic Neo Soul Acid Jazz Trip Hop Dance Punk Pop. Not really though, I just call her music, music.

[dmdpro5]

@siamesehummer she is hiphop your confusing hiphop with rap rap is the music in hiphop culture r&b is also hiphop culture thats why on hiphop radio stations and shows they play rap and r&b and othere genres of music hiphop is just a culture people live in

[rachelysew]

@dmdpro5 She most certainly is not hip hop. There are hip hop influences, but there are so many other influences that she basically just created a new genre.

[Jazzyjune]

I recommend seeing her live, it's such a rush! As soon as I saw her perform with B.o.B and Bruno Mars at the Grammys I fell in love with such talent. She's amazing, a true performer!

[MartiniandCigarettes]

Anything she touches turns to gold. What a range. And let's not forget the guys behind her. She has an incredible band. Plus she is incredibly feminine and never vulgar. Many of her colleagues should take note. She is beauty and talent. Viva Janelle!

[Pirate7X]

@MartiniandCigarettes Thank you, about time someone recognizes THE WONDALAND SOCIETY! Janelle is surrounded by artists as inspired as her, they took her sound to where it is now.

[crazyeye180]

@lmoore093 i'm glad that you're not saying she isn't talented (i've tried before to get singers to work with delay like Janelle does), but to say this isn't music? and imply that is "shitty" is just plain wrong. I also dislike allot of what you so charmingly term "mainstream" but i would never deny that a tune like this isn't music.

Don't be an idiot. if you don't enjoy something then that's ok - but it doesn't change what that something is.

[lmoore093]

@yojimbe1980I personally have a wide interest in music. many artists spanning over many generations, and many recieving critical acclaim, while others have gone unnoticed. I'm open to anything. I opened myself to this, and immediately disliked it. I refuse to give references because I know your narrow-mind will not accept them. Enjoy your music. However shitty it may be...

[jemappellepetite]

@lmoore093 i don't think you should speak offense about something that might mean so much to somebody else. If you don't like it just press dislike or don't see this again, ur right, however no need to call it shitty, neither argue

[lmoore093]

@yojimbe1980 i dont post more than 2 comments on anything on the internet, because no one out there is ever worth my time to argue with. let me just say this; your the typical person who thinks that because they like off the radar entertainment, your more enlightened than the next person that shows any interest in "mainstream" music. your exotic tastes in your interests have left opposed to anyone elses opinions, and maybe that stems from something deeper. I do not care about you or your music

[MsAnimeFreak12345]

@Imoore093 she is an artist meaning she has more then one song while this song may not appeal to u she may have other songs that you may like so before u go and make a comment like that research a bout the artist a little more.and im not saying u are to like her or anything cus u are entitled to you own opinion

[lmoore093]

Not saying she's not talented, and no offense to the people that like this, but i heard this on carson daly last night, and it legitmately pissed me off. Just hearing it again makes me wonder how this can even be called music or why anyone in their right mind would appreciate. I know some people are going to get pissy over this, but this is horrible....

[2MinutesToMidnightt]

@lmoore093 well we all love it, so GTFO.

[yojimbe1980]

@lmoore093 when you say things like that you should give some references. if this can't "be called music", what can? give some examples of what you listen to so we who think this is absolutely magical can judge whether you have an informed opinion, or are one of the mindless drones who shut out anything different that isn't mass produced and churned out on the assembly line for the radio.

[jkt10516]

@lmoore093

"no offense to the people that like this"

and yet you say "why anyone in their right mine would appreciate."

You imply and insult to people yet you say no offense? Of course they're offended. It's implied. Saying no offense doesn't do anything.

Yea the songs kind of weird, but i'm not going to bash on it or anything. I wouldn't call it horrible. I mean she has a beautiful voice.

[ChukMane14]

not every female artist can be as versitile as her , she can sing pop , soul music , R&B , funk , nd rap

[GGenerationn]

MOM I WANT TO GO TO WONDALAND!

[idancetolive426]

i didnt want that song to end...

[SuperLadyLush]

im now officially a janelle monae convert!

[TheFernB]

This song is beautiful. It takes you to another world.

[traceygriffiths01]

fresh and wild

[helenious]

2 people left their underpants in wondaland

[Tomapella]

@helenious nah, I think 465 people did ;-)

[Virtsound]

very very good

[Monicaslaugh]

@BonbonKaneWagaMehLin o my god r u serious kid i like your name? haha YOU MADE MY DAY XD

[zatoichiyojimbo24]

THIS IS GENIUS

[TheAkistar]

the 2 people who dont like it do not want to go back to wondaland

[Monicaslaugh]

well apparently 2 people need hearing aids cause they is stupid for not liking this song

[BonbonKaneWagaMehLin]

@Monicaslaugh Everybody has different opinions, if everybody liked the same thing, life would be boring.

[danceforlife1846]

this is the best music to listen to when you just want to esape from the world and enter a new realm (:

no other music (cept for deadmau5) has been able to do this, i love you janelle!

[maristefani]

She's my new obsession =)

[mojsehs]

to ca umas 10 vezes por dia!!! maravilhosa!

[Moog168]

I can imagine this song in a Target Commercial for some reason.....I LOVE THIS!

[PinkMacBooks]

@Moog168 - LOL so tru !

[mrmiles725]

Very, very girly, which is a large part of it's appeal...

[jippyjester]

@mrmiles725 i dont think so.....it is a bit 'tinkly and frilly' (lol) but the melody is supreme and the bass is actually quite strong....justin beiber is more of a pansy than janelle monae hahaha

[VinceConardTV]

EARGASM!!



[DrGyalfren]

When I get some space on my maxed out Mastercard, I'm buying as much of her music as possible. This is worth my money, yo.

[bentley3386]

Hate saying this but I only discovered this extremely creative talent through a dance routine on "DWTS". I picked up the c.d. and discovered a wealth of funky, beautiful melodic pop/soul from a talented singer of many ranges. This song, along with "Locked Inside" are my two favorites. Let's hope music like this is a glimpes of things to come.

[terelon]

This song is like sweet confection for the ears. It's very creative and out of the box.

[Mortellina]

This song is so much better live. She uses her "real voice."

[carlosvrodrigues]

Sounds like japanese music

[Cassieandra11]

im so inspired, janelle monae touched my wires.

[MrVictiln]

Fuck yea.

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

she's a genius!

[AleekahTV]

I like that hook. very different. and then the transition that takes places around the 2:10 mark.

[tervish]

this is the fucken tune for funky town

[silverlament]

@tervish

No.

[lifeismusicinaction]

It's easier to compare and label, than to actually explore what someone has to offer.

[YewGoGlennCoco]

I don't see how you can compare her to ANYONE.

[jonaahthan]

"your magic mind makes love to mine" am i hearing this right! ;D

cause i think i jus fell in love with this girl!!

[AllyBeenie123]

Wow. i know everyone has their own opinions and differences but how can anybody NOT like this song..? :)

[calfrun27]

dont like her music that much but i think she is growing on me because she is such a creative person with a wonderful voice i have never seen anyone like her and i cant take my eyes off her for now

[saracristtine]

lol , good ^^

[SonicXmario50]

Wow this is so damn good. I'm really getting in to Janelle, she's talented.

[Nakedprey]

Best song on the album. Not sure why her label won't put this out as a single. Maybe the choir at the end? Maybe it's too lyrically abstract for today's pop trends? who knows.

[freddyellis]

A lot of folks on here don't realize but she is more like Kate Bush than Andre 3000. Matter of fact she is the new age Kate bush.

[MrChiffy]

@freddyellis agreed...i was going to say something to that effect also....but didn't want 4000 replies asking me who that is.

[freddyellis]

@MrChiffy I know right. This song really brings out that Kate Bush style.

[Moonlightdragon]

then i first heard her was on the Sims game and she reminded me of a female Andre 3000 so i looked her up and fell in love with her music i like her shes got her own little style different from others i think i got a lot people into her x3

[Tzulalay]

Sweet n' Funky, I love it.

[emilsky2001]

this music has that holiday, childish, and funky style that's really an out of no where song that you can here rarely. All praise to this talented lady!

[BulletproofEgo]

some good tracks on the album, but some cringeworthy ones too. she DOESN'T EVEN WRITE HER OWN SONGS. why is she supposedly so talented and superior to her peers, then, if all she really does is sing? (only one track on Archandroid, the Suite 2 Overture, she cowrote). i don't see why all the comments on her songs are not praising the actual songwriters and producers instead of the janelle monae, the puppet.

[OkZac]

@BulletproofEgo And Rihanna writes her own music right? You talking fuckery because without her voice the world will never hear the lyrics of whoever wrote the song....you're just hating out of shear fucking negativity.

[xirisjex]

@BulletproofEgo No offense but she has co-written/co-produced all the songs on her album(Except for one: Make the bus)She has chosen to work with several others who are a part of the Wondaland Arts Society on her album because she feels like a part of that group and this way all of them get exposure.She always mentions them proudly. She's certainly not a puppet,instead very much involved.Just listen to her talk about her album, you can hear the passion she has about it.She's worthy of praise Imo

[lenbrian]

@BulletproofEgo you must not have her cd because if you did you would know she wrote or co wrote all but one song. ps: I hit the thumbs up by mistake, i meant to hit the thumbs down. "Puppet" I dont think so.

[yhiamey]

what is there to compare? she is in her own category altogether like Michael Jackson...she's great

[Facevampire]

anyone here because they heard this on Soundcheck?

[SholaMind21]

O M G.. She looks EXACTLY like ANITA BAKER!!!

[kedordu]

locked in side , wonderland , dance or die , 57821 . these songs literally take me out of nercropolis

[MrSuperstarr121]

I been sleep on her real bad!!!!!!! She on some other stuff i love it though

[kahea2018]

is the voice digitally altered cause she sounds different at the end and so much different in the other songs...is it just a thing for this song?

[boocoo45]

TAKE ME BACK!!

[charonn89]

This is a cute and fun song. I wish there was more of her regular voice in this song though... The voice in this song kind of gives me headache... But, I'm keeping a bottle of Tylenol next to me b/c I can't and won't stop listening to it. I love her! And this song is soo cute and fun <3

[QUIZJACKZON89]

She is an excellent artist! Superb!!!

[inuyashaxkogome]

Janelle monae is the female version of andre 3000

I love them both

[omgpuppies0707]

if no one has figured it out yet, andré 3000 got a sex change.... Janelle Monáe is that person

[sblmnlprncss13]

i real hope a music video comes out for this, but then again a song like this has unlimited vision on its own

[omgpuppies0707]

freeze my ass off in the snow but dont care bot it when dis shit is playin

[ShiKocHou]

Lol random cat purring and animal sounds makes me giggle from time to time.

[botanicalman]

I took a shit in Janelle Monáes mouth.. It was awesome because I love this song.

[omgpuppies0707]

@botanicalman it was awesome because she made you pay her to do it, then she shit AND pissed on you and took your monae

[chaosinorderrr]

this is a dope ass song, but why does she say "underpant" in the chorus? O_o

[LAxrae]

the hallelujah ending kinda weirds me out...but yeah, it fits. they way she overenunciates her RRRRRS bugs me...otherwise a cool track

[StreetMusicETV]

ok, as Flava Flave would say "Go Get A Late Pass!!!" I just heard this!!! Hot! I was saying she needs to change it up... I like this... I was getting board with the whole James Brown, Prince, Michael thing... She has a beautiful voice. She just needed to find herself...

[SIRGAGA123]

this is like one of the best songs ever!! and I know my great music!! truly brilliant!!

[PIOSystems]

This song is epic! Too bad people will buy RiRi, GaGA and Niki instead.

[JohnJSteffen42]

sounds alot like Cibo Matto

[demariojason]

Now I also got a question about 2:55 she says: "Ya know I love baby, yes I need you Guess I___________??? Take me back I want to stay the night." what is she saying where in the blank?? It is NOT in the lyrics because its ad-lib. thanks guys!!

[onyeikeonyeike]

@demariojason I guess i wanna love

[Kenny39894831]

@demariojason She says "I guess i want to know enough"

[GreyElton]

Stop comparing people, especially you dayvidd. When I come on youtube, I don't like seeing bullshit.

[CireAknow]

2:55 to the end is terrific. Its the mark of a true artist to make you wait till the end for the truly delicious part.

[demariojason]

@CireAknow I love that part as well!!! This song reminds me of a cute/free girl at G-State, ESPECIALLY that part you speak of!! Now my mind incorporates your  detailed comment about it as well from now on!! Thanks for pointing that out my friend!!

[PineappleBeans1]

1 person doesn't have ears.

[RagnarokCicero]

I want this to be my "Skipping around town" theme music in a movie...

[axional]

wow.. this sinks into your head ! 

[akotasun]

I love this song. ( :

[zaboomafufan]

"Take me Wondaland. I gotta get back Wondaland."

[perri6]

"She thinks she left her underpants"? LOL

Frikkin' LOVE this song!

[axional]
