PJ Harvey - Man Size: Closed Captioned, Silent Intro

[wgmhottie11551]

what is this song about? and did anyone else see the giant booger that fell out of her nose??!!!

[lassixjune]

I did. Yuck! LOL

[zuss10r]

It's a mans world baby...figure it out. Oh yeah, and that wasn't snot...lol...it was gel, her hair is full of it!

[Pindakaasmonster]

It's her earring!!!!

[MassiveMarket]

If I was a lesbian Id be very attarcted to PJ. No, wait, let me rephrase that: Im the gayest woman on Earth and Im attarcted to PJ Harvey! Im sure she makes at least 5 women that see her gay just by going to the supermarket every day...

[mailtolast]

and i thought i was crazy...:)

[romeisburningnow]

This was the raw P.j, this entire album is a essential to any fan of music being cathartic.

[lassixjune]

Ha! I look like her when she was like that! And proud!

[lunaradiation]

eeeee i'm getting old....is that you at the beginning kate? can't quite see, my eyesights going......ALL YOU FUCKING CHICKS ALWAYS BECOME AMAZING WHEN YOU FUCK THE BLOKES VIA THE TV SCREEN...... tell pj shes chicken. vuckov97

[elduce77]

PJ IS AWESOME.. FUCKING GOOD VIDEO

[knewy]

well then she's one of the sexiest men I've ever seen. unconventionally good looking maybe. feminine 100%

[hoorayforBG]

Whatever. Who cares. She got hotter with age, anyway.

[razzingherr]

it's just because she had thick eyebrows and strong features. she's changed a lot now, you would never tell she looks like a man (check her out!)

[Pindakaasmonster]

New album = new look

[SatyrNick]

There are safer ways to set ones hair on fire... The music is great though.

[shiiayaya]

I love her.... this song takes me back....

[alazandanga]

best female vocals i have heard. Non commercial style, unique and changing from song to song. I love her.

Oh, her and Fiona Apple ;)

[TeenageWildlife]

this vid is like a piss-take on that whole "unsex me here" bit Lady Macbeth says so she can perform her evil deeds... reminds me of Judi Dench on the floor playing that role in an old BBC production of Macbeth

[ijcherin]

what´s the thing falling from her hear on 2:28?

[razzingherr]

her earring :)

[MGB1952]

Diga, lo que diga esta chica, yo la veo muy de mi tamaño :)...

[ReelsurReal]

Far and away the sexiest most beautiful, non-traditionally attractive artist that I can think of.

[InKa4484]

i like Tori Amos and PJ Harvey, but i see no comparison.

[yiommi]

Tori Amos??!! Blasphemy!!

[wasseneus]

love that tongue...

[AshyLinnet]

Awesome.

[toasterdevil]

i like tori amos better with red hair

still hot though

[sorbole750]

good old witch, fucking '90s sound at his best. Rought and great

[faceofjesusinmysoup]

btw, this isn't closed captioned

[guzforster]

Fuck she's so awesome.

[nyxiepyxie]

beautiful -

[ememknowstee]

great performance. great song. love the poetry. seventeen thumbs up.

[ecstaticist]

that belly button is going to keep me up at night. What a stunning video.

[kioal]

surely guy its all ironic...i mean she is taking the piss out of machismo while at the same time ..liking dick.

she no lesbian ...christ do i have to explain everything

[faceofjesusinmysoup]

I hope she's bi I'd love to have her as my wife

[timtak1]

How come this is so good? It is amazing, and unnerving because I don't know why I like it so much.

The wink at 1:08 is great.

First she pretends to be a woman and then a man? Or it is like she is looking at her body, disembodied, from the point of view of a man maybe?

Is there a mirror in front of the camera all along?

[translator300]

Wow.

It also reminds me of the scene in the silencio theatre scene in "Mullholland Dr."

[timtak1]

Why?

[krelbar]

1:40...Boobie shake!!!

[collateraljp]

beautiful voice

[TwinDusks]

i dont know im just getting a vibe is she a lesbian? if shes not im really sorry for ever assuming i was just wondering.

[KnitChick84]

Not sure if she's bisexual, but she did have a love affair with Nick Cave in the 90's... so she's at least remotely interested in males.

[northernxstar]

Um, no she is not.

[Houdinitreehouse]

I don't think she is. But this video is an exploration into the roles that females/males play; sort of like the positions they are pushed into. Kind of like what she expressed in her song 'dress'. Here she is saying 'I'm man sized' [for the roles females adopt] + 'I'll put my leather boots on' [for the powerful male]. This doesn't mean that she is a lesbian! And at the end she is offering us the possibility of removing these roles: 'douse hair with gasoline' [because hair = female sexuality].

[s1rrah]

Fine thoughts. And BTW ... she's the "Anti-Lesbian" ... :-)

[Houdinitreehouse]

Yes yes; I can see that!! I think I agree!! Like she is removing these 'limited views' on how women (and men for that matter too) see themselves (because we are so indoctrinated by society aka advertising/crappy mainstream pop etc..). Ha ha, thanks for ze insight!

[ccfc73]

It's "douse her with gasoline."

[Thalianation]

Whatever some may think of PJ Harvey's physical attributes (and I think she's beautiful), this video demonstrates she has personality, originality, and starpower. Long may she run.

[hemlockgourmand]

lemme try...

[grimcity]

PJ is amazing on so many levels. She's a beast in a little tiny lady's body. Brilliant work. Love the 4 Track Demos.

[twenty2082]

just put the damn thing on already

[chrysotheme]

Filthy tight, the dress is filthy

I'm falling flat and my arms are empty

Clear the way better get it out of this room

A falling woman in dancing costume

[3ur0trash]

hahahaha what the fuck. she looks ridiculous when she moves

[theInimitablePip]

PJ  PHUC'n ROX!!!

[AFX09]

Polly is the most rock talented in the world ... Fuckin' great song !

[cuntcow6]

It is never enough to just hear PJ's lyrics you need to see her move like Tori Amos, Bjork, and Sade. In order to truly grasp the raw sexual power.

[dnggitg]

Great. An intelligent, thought-provoking song that also rocks. And it's well-acted by PJ Harvey. She's sexier by far than Britney spears. Love the underwear.

[fatmasterslam]

She's fuggin cool!

[xxxIzekeIxxx]

mmmmm she's soo hot

[FeastFamine]

aT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE SO I LAUGHED.

tHen i realized she meant it and i lAughed H arder.

[crashj71]

and after you finished laughing, did you press play on your KIDZBOP cd?

[lulz666f]

Ha.

[sidDkid87]

move over Norma Jean ... here comes Polly Jean!!!

[artgeek707]

I'm addicted to this song. PJ Harvey rocks!!!

[expeerimental]

She is fucking electrifying. Phenomenal.

[BlunderingThundering]

Gotta love this vintage of PJ.

Nervous Breakdown and all.

[jaco86p]

I Love P J......

[x1cness]

PJ Harvey is a chameleon and an artist in all sense of the term.

[Rosetylerfano1o1]

god i love this my bud was like " i dont like he songs or her ...style" and i was like ya because she is you are not use to someone this great!!!!!!!

[suarezstyle]

Her beauty is undeserved by all of us.

[siriusbronski]

at 1:43, she danced a little bit like Ian Curtis..........

[vinbasshred]

this is disturbing and cool

[beaboorox]

has anyone noticed the part when something falls out of her hair or nose or something? lol. <3 PJ

[northernxstar]

It's her earring, haha.

[lookatdoor]

hmmm...well, you never know what she might be into...

[kirkbzzz123]

I never did like that TV show Friends

[trendski]

FUCK YAH!

[Escepticus]

In the silent part at the beggining, she reminds me Frida Kahlo...

[kidpink]

that was the first thing that came to my mind....but sans moustache...

[NilezII]

This is funny: almost like she's impersonating a fan making a lip-sync video....?

[Disappearer88]

I'm a guy.

[lookatdoor]

I'm a martian

[SurrealAsItGets]

gotta love her!

[diamondsea3]

This is just awesome!! I love PJ!

[nikodemaz38]

PJ..I will never leave You!!!;)

[OhNoItsGojira]

haha yeeeeah!

[GHFiona]

I'm so glad that youtube hasn't removed any of PJ's videos. If they ever did I'd be sooooo pissed...

[Pindakaasmonster]

Get the YouTube Catcher! ;)

[itubeyoutubewetube]

why would they? it's the official channel of her music label

[nikodemaz38]

crazy wicked video-love it!

[THEMEXICANPET]

this song is great!

[dancray]

Unbelievable video, in that it's one shot. She blows snot all over the back of her hand and the camera keeps rolling. Just her on a stool, the camera, and some guy who knows more than most about lighting. This is probably the most perfect one-off video recording ever made, and one of her best songs to boot.

[Pindakaasmonster]

IT'S HER EARRING!!!! ;)

[dancray]

yeah the earing falls out, but she does spend a bunch of time wiping her nose and inspecting her hands. I love her either way.

[AOCRkid]

i wanna be locked in an apartment with her.

[Gerzhaim]

Hasta antes de ver este video, creía estar enamorado de PJ Harvey. ahora estoy seguro.

[molloyx]

PINK You are a world class nitwit. She could crush a flea like you with a flick of her hand.

[PiNKGstring321]

seriously, her music is better without her face!

little anorexia girl!

[Rosetylerfano1o1]

this might be one of the greatests songs ever!

[vieraveira]

i love how confident she is <3

[muddypuddles1]

This video is fucking awesome. It's just so god damned real. She probably just sat in front of a camera and said "film me." That's a music video if I ever saw one. It has no expectations.

[battlenoise]

U said it perfectly. Amazing woman/singer/songwriter/produc­er/performer that constantly challenges herself. So raw!

[aijinita60]

She look's a little like olive oil (popeye's goil!).

[almi0316]

olive oil never had PJ's voice, talent, grit or balls. And surely wasn't as beautiful. PJ is really tiny but it seems to be natural for her to be that thin. I've never seen her weight fluctuate. And looking at her here while she is extremely thin you can see from her bone structure that it is what fits her. I bet she's not very tall either.

[zachmasterzach]

This is a STRANGE video. Does anyone know if it played on MTV? I couldn't imagine one like this would have, but then, they were playing some STRANGE videos on MTV at this time.

[tnmark36]

They did but you'd usually find it on 120 Minutes if anyone remembers that show.

[dsrocknroller]

it was on 120 Minutes (MTV "alternative" rock show) more than once I believe...

[krelbar]

Always a joy to listen to. Never know what to expect.

[InKa4484]

Gawd!!! She's unconventionally GORGEOUS!!!

[donnybrooklads]

Iceland had Bjork, UK has PJ! Originality always trumps

[Bryantm90]

would America have had tori? Or did the U.K. and U.S. share her?

[lolwtfomfglol]

if you dont stfu in 5 different ways i will suddenly attack you

[archietri]

ichabod 1111 go an fuk yerself,i am from scotland and something like that would be on all the news -- it wasn't

you are one sad individual.

[AsaNisiMasa7]

She's skinny, has a funny face with irregular features, and isn't traditionally beautiful by a country mile. But her rare talent (dare I say genius), energy, sheer charisma, originality, humour and sex appeal make PJ Harvey a source of inspiration, an object of admiration and a recurrent fantasy (even for heterosexual women)! She well and truly rocks!

[taniwha9]

Onthe contrary, she is a very traditional west country English beauty.

[maritree]

fucking awesome..one of her best i reckon! she is so raw and sexy..i agree wit u expeerimental..she is a rock god! one sexy artist ..everything bout her..voice looks music style :)

[ferrarae]

MITICA!!!!!

[geauxrj]

best video ever!!!!!!!!!!!

[revoloser65]

yeeeeaaaaaaahhh!!!!

[Raegean]

Why is youtube being so slooooow? >:( I need polly to drown out the awful sounds of my flat mate's "banging tunes". Someone shoot me.

[expeerimental]

She is a fucking rock God as far as I'm concerned. Her discography is almost flawless.

[ruleoforder]

Always liked PJ Harvey. She's hilarious...

[jimthefin]

Polly rocks and that is all there is to say about that.

[NinaAnneRicks]

funny video.

[fbgbom]

Universal, give us a chance???

[svengali1993]

Damn, PJ is such a cool guitarist. She's got a style dirtier than most dudes could ever sound, the only guy I can think of that comes close to sounding dirty like that is Kurt Cobain. That kind of guitar playing is cool, the punk-ish sounding noise solos, the dissonance, the loose yet hardcore rhythms, those power chords, that distortion, and her [ure expression, it's all so gritty and badass!

[Pindakaasmonster]

It's no snot, it's her right earring!

[briteness]

no,itsnotsnot.

[pioughd87]

the snot falling out of polly's nose is more rock and roll than all the music being put out today put together

[Georgiamay]

I enjoyed it.

[nowmuz]

you fuckying itiot!!! listen to MUSIC

[ale999999]

what a big nose!!!! lol

[Hoolysegoo]

Wow, she is way fucking cute! Totally unique. But she is DEF on something during this vid.

Which makes it hotter

heh :D

[ninawillams]

she is rocknroll,she is female,not dis bull shit "women" by nature,female by sex but amazing person by personality,music every thing not acting like a girl is conditioned she shud jus be no matter what sex u find ur self.

[whiskeyintorain]

I love this video. She looks hopped up on something too. PJ's awesome

[joustingjay]

I bet she's a firecracker in bed. Holy shit.

[Dubh86]

I'm gonna cast my iron knickers down... God, I love Peeeeeeeeeeej!

[LookingGlassThecure]

I have to admit..when the video just starts and shes holding that dress up to her body I cant help but think she looks like old fashioned cartoon character 'Olive Oil'...lol\ another odd thing, she reminds me of my husband..lol.. anyway hate me for saying all this...I love This song and Pj Harvey rocks..

[Dubh86]

Why would anyone hate you for saying all that?! She does, indeed, bear a resemblence to Olive Oil :) And if I was a cartoon character, I'd no doubt think Olive Oil ws hot stuff.

[Nietzsche4419]

lol that is so funny....Olive Oil being hot stuff...I hope that Betty Boop doesnt hear that...Word is out that she and Olive really dont get along to well....lol..

[pericolace]

Does it get any better than this? I love it.

[Tommaths]

i love it :]

[deanscream]

dig the bloomers...

[LookingGlassThecure]

those are granny panties..

[eksujapan]

her best rocking song!

[beccasue333]

I was watching an interview, and she said, I wanted to create music that, you know, couldn't be used as background music."

Well!

This sure ain't background music.

P.S. I love the way it look like her hands and body are creating the music, you can see it better in Down By The Water.

P.S.S. Message me, I'm fraking bored.

[dsignrdane]

god this videos kicks!! flip the hair girl

[readmyscreename]

this is the old karen o.. wow!

[Pindakaasmonster]

I'm gonna get old with Polly Jean! :)

[VanZijl1]

Who cares about the knickers? This is sooo good... she's a WOW!

[nexus6zora]

this was the first pj song i ever heard and the first pj video i ever saw. i love her!

[Arbor88]

Oh ja!!! ;)

[eliasbose]

i swear she's like the best & most higly addictive drug that you could ever try because once you start listening to her you can NEVER stop!

[Kurtaddict]

How I agree to what you said! A slow drug, which makes me want to do the same music...

[vamamarga666]

You speak the truth my friend!

[davehikah]

epic

[dead1eyes1crow]

shes completley out of her mind and its fucking awesome

[Albeleo]

Sexiest woman on the planet.

[tdrjhtrjmhfjm]

Living geneous. Simple as.

[pepsilight9]

she's so weird and unpretty and so beautiful and so sexy, i just don't know how. great song btw

[1Alexander0]

Does anybody else notice the strange panning effect at the end? (her voice travels between the left and right speakers) Try listening to it in headphones.

[Salatta666]

yep it's true

[crazyman1914]

Them knickers are kinda like ugly.

[taniwha9]

intentionally so

[crazyman1914]

i love the eeriness of silence in the beginning. Them granny panties have to go tho.

[slickskillet123]

in england those knickers.

[louiecostello]

that's what they're called! knickers. actually they're bigger than knickers

[slickskillet123]

yeah,in britain. in the US they

are called bloomers

[louiecostello]

hmmm, i suppose "Bloomers" wouldn't be unheard of in england either. although they're rarely seen or referred to. but they would most commonly be called "big knickers" simply. an interesting debate

[slickskillet123]

bloomers, bis knickers what's the difference.

[GHFiona]

GRANNY KNICKERS!!!!

[missdee1923]

I like to call them granny panties...lmao

Don't stop....
