Regina Spektor - Eet [Viral Video]

[peaceloveluck4]

Anyone know what "eet" means, exactly?

[MrMaryJanes]

Do eet...

anyone?

[Irishdancer49]

This is a great song!:)

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

IS THAT THE SAME BEAR WHO GOT THE BITS & PIECES OF TOILET PAPER STUCK ALL OVER HIS ASS BECAUSE HE BOUGHT SHITTY TOILET PAPER ?

[ilovehotpocketsalot]

You know you're awesome when you can play a typewriter.

[beholder127]

i memorized this song...im such a geek

[ullshootureyeout]

how could i forget the words to this song? :) if you dont get it listen to the first verse ;)

[jumpingmap]

I forgot the words to my favorite song once. Rather id lost every indiosyncratic behavior that I ever possessed. I sunk to the deepest depths of low and sulked for a period of about 5 months. It was like a permanent ego-death. I know now that life is impermanent and always changing. It got better for me and now im stronger than ever. This song reminds me of last January. Although it was depressing at the time I look back with a sad smile. Nothing is permanent.

[RadexxxHippie]

This song is a nightmare for every anorectic girl.

[Iamfofreakinsho]

I don't think I could ever forget the words to this song..

[MadlyMusicFreebairn]

I love this song :) soo much.

[kimikohi]

i wanna know what eet is, what it means. adjective? hm.

[dysonxp]

@kimikohi eet is the enter button on very old typewriters as you can't erase with type writers, so like you cant go back and change it, go back to it in general

[kimikohi]

@dysonxp thank you (:

[tafaru192837465]

I wonder if I could love this woman. Is her heart as delicate as her music? How I wish she would let me find out for myself. <3

[mazerunner13]

CAN'T.... STOP.... HITTING... REPLAY... *switches to another Regina Spektor song* oh great now i can't stop listening to this either!

[cortinastea]

just listened to stupid hoe by nicki minaj right before this.. wow

[Tussyville23]

yay

[missjusicutur]

I LOVE HER <3

[Diablo112687]

Thumbs up if you are tired of reading stupid puns in every single youtube video.

[GeeLikeWoah]

@Diablo112687 Like this one...

[animefreak1793]

That awkward moment where "Eet" is your favorite song, and you still remember all the words..

[Volvandese]

After 5 consecutive plays, I think I might need to walk away.

[ApolloUltimate]

@Volvandese Nah, don't. :D

[LittleMissScorpio]

she has a wonderful voice.

[HomicideGenius]

Oh yeah, NOOOW I remember why I love humanity.

[sonjbi101]

she should be more famous

[jessicahamsterlolz]

The iorny of this song is that im jamming headphones into my head and turning the volume to full blast as she sings "using your headphones to drown out your mind " and then i think - shes right. 

[jessicahamsterlolz]

Eet is a old button on a type writer , and it is like an enter button. You cant erase on a Type writer , hence Eet . I feel like she means that somethings you cant take things back.

[BeckyTeacup]

I swear this song is an anorexic person's nightmare

[MissLadyLexa]

@BeckyTeacup no, its still beautiful :)

[BeckyTeacup]

@MissLadyLexa yeahh i know :) was only joking.. 

[lulila3000]

Seriously, how can she have such an amazing voice? It's like... incredible :) Love all her songs!(L)

[MayarZarie]

MAKE HER FAMOUS

[lucymight]

@MayarZarie SHE ALREADY IS

[soldaditodeplomo08]

I need a replay button... :/ <3

[Starniouses]

@soldaditodeplomo08

If you want a "replay button" type "replay" in the link of this song.

"repeatyoutube (.) com/watch?v=MMEpaVL_WsU&ob=av2­e"

Sorry for my english.

[soldaditodeplomo08]

@Starniouses Hablas español ? xD, no entendi lo de replay, me lo explicas ? :P Gracias :)

[Starniouses]

@soldaditodeplomo08 Sí, de hecho soy argentina. Viste el link de esta canción? O sea, lo que te aparece en la barra de navegación. Bueno, entre el punto después de la triple w y la palabra youtube escribí: "repeat". Se puede hacer con cualquier video. Y lo tenés repitiéndose infinitamente :D, jaja.

[lexiemay97]

omg i heard this in the mall the other day and tripped shit it was great!

[Coosieboosie]

love this. love it so much i learned a cover to it..long story. id never even heard it before i just made up a melody then actually listened to the real thing. wow....lol

[lowellsoden]

I feel like I'm responsible for half of these views.

[Dustii7]

'It's like forgetting the... er... what was it?'

[hellokittyylovee1234]

why can't everyone listen to regina spektor?!

[BayleighRosePapi]

This Song Made Me Cry & Think About Alot <3

[RE2LeonS]

UGH, damn you 240p! You make this amazing video all smudgy :(

[jessethetford]

This is one of the few songs I can listen to a thousand times. Something about it is appropriate now matter what is going on.

[DanRossiTV]

beautifully done :]

[celestite]

It wouldn't be the same effect if she used a computer.

[lupaislaughing]

what does eet mean? i love the song and regina spektor and @lateralus347 i respect that but i see/hear it as beautiful:)

[potterfandom]

@lupaislaughing eet is the backspace button on a typewriter

[LeSnickerdoodle]

Thumbs up if you never noticed the video was 240P until now because you got distracted by the music. <3

[FunnyMonkey205]

i find it ironic that she says 'it's like forgetting the words to your favorite song' when THIS is my favorite song XD

[Voicecrackguy9]

I was just listening to unbreakable by veil of maya

everybody's playing the typewriter these days

[succhannn]

i honestly can't understand, why someone would dislike this video. doesn't the dislikers have any other life than go around youtube and dislike all beautiful songs' videos?

[Lateralus347]

@succhannn Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I personally don't find this particularly beautiful or moving.

[succhannn]

@Lateralus347 okay, if you don't like this song, don't listen to it and get the hell out of here. no need to dislake this video.

[kingdomofworld]

I am in Love with you Regina Spektor; for the sake of God. I ask him if he can help me find you one day just to say I love you in real .......with love---->Goodnews-NYC-25-Male-­Technologist-:)

[jonasbabe75]

EarGasm

[grinchgirl10]

she can hit some notes.! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!:)

[beatleslover2000]

WHSAT DOES EET MEAN? I cried when I heard this for the first time.

[Coco214cp]

@beatleslover2000 Eet, the words after feet and beat.

[Theslendergamer]

@beatleslover2000 If you're asking what the meaning of the song is, it's open to interpretation, but I think the word "Eet" was like a backspace on an old typewriter.

[nipols]

nice tits plus I think she is really smart damn looks like the girl that can make me behave for a while.

[MrEfedrin]

Nice, but where I'm hear something like this? Yes! Tori Amos.

[shirleyaraiza]

This song makes me want to go out in the middle of the desert and play the typewriter

[SlappingPotato]

beautiful:)

[CallOfDuty4ist]

Anyone else heard this at cvs pharmacy? :P

[DMSteller87]

It feels really good to sing along to this song haha. Lifts my spirits. Try it.

[lalulu82]

J' AAAAAAAAAADORE :D. "Eeeee-eeeee-eeeeeet...." #Lucie.

[oldschoolrockstar]

I feel that she is due for another tour in the us. May I recommend the twins cities. While your there make sure you check out Nicolette Island, Minnehaha Falls (I know you'll love the love story behind that.) Might also want to check out the river spot at Stillwater. It's said that Jessie Jame's Gold was buried in that Vally. Has never been found yet.

[alexisoliveable]

I heard this in C.V.S.

[MorzikTheKat]

whats this song about

[MrMaryJanes]

@MorzikTheKat Eet

[SuperDukette]

@MorzikTheKat forgetting the words to your favorite song

[daannielism]

@SuperDukette LOL

[SuperDukette]

@daannielism lol i know!!! simple right?

[rujtj]

I want to Eet her...

[interpretop]

@rujtj get out

[rujtj]

@interpretop

what?

[vetiarvind]

Is Eet shorthand for "DelEte"?

[KitsuneKyukon]

@vetiarvind Yes, eet is the "backspace" button on a typewriter. The song is about wanting to go back and delete your mistakes. c:

[Kennedysuxx]

@vetiarvind Kind of, typewritter you couldn't delete the words but you could type atop of what you typed, so the name of it is eet.

[MissLadyLexa]

107 people don't know how to ReSpekt

[nubzar1]

@MissLadyLexa I applaud your cleverness.

[edg3516]

She's such a sellout. Her earlier stuff was way better.

[mullymyster]

@edg3516 I actually prefer some of her newer stuff like on the radio. I guess its just personal preference. and you cant call her a sellout because what is she selling out to. Her music is just..... I hate to say evolving becauese it sounds demeaning to the other music but it is the only word i can think of. I dont mind artists changing as long as they dont start digitizing their voice. Otherwise they can do as they please with their vocal chords. There are always other artists.

[brainwasher9876]

a fucking stupid ad featuring a rapper right before this video ruined everything.

[blkazn77]

@brainwasher9876 really? It ruined everything? lol

[CoSine77]

And the word so sweet, You try to feel the beat! eet..... Eet eet

[Asparagus428]

She did mean she want to EAT! :D

[emitree13]

her music videos are so beautiful and original:) i love her

[Blach1234]

iv allays wanted to play the typewriter :]

[oldschoolrockstar]

@Blach1234 I've had a typewriter. The biggest problem with that I've noticed is that there is no spell check on that os. Also after a while your hand goes numb. It's still a whole lot of fun. I love the tapapapap ding! sounds from it. I can write for hours. I hardly do that anymore, but when I did I was off to my own Neverland.

[Blach1234]

She is so pretty i love this song :]

[Haduct]

OH MY GOD.

STOP TROLLING.

PEOPLE reaLLY BELIEVE THIS SHIT...

FOR GOD'S SAKE, EET WAS NEVER ON TYPEWRITERS.

[TheImmutable]

It's about that moment of doubt in life when you realize you've been on the wrong path, when you've gotten so caught up in the little things in life you've forgotten what actually matters, or maybe you never knew and you just now found out. But you can't go back and change it, you have to deal with what you've already made. Like a typewriter, you can make corrections but you can never fully erase your mistakes. That's what I get out of it anyway.

[purplepandamany]

@TheImmutable how true thats how i feel.

[robosloth333]

@eisnergurlzz58

ummmmmm...

This song is called Eet

[eisnergurlzz58]

@robosloth333 awks haha spell check. hehe sorry:) thanks

[ctdummy80]

146 people believe there was an Eet key on typewriters. LOL.

[Tannerwuzhere1]

The reason This song is called eet is Because when She would forget words to her favorite songs she Would hum eet to the beat thats why she says Its Like Forgetting the Words to Your Favorite Song.

[deterunit]

@Tannerwuzhere1 haha, very clever, but not quite. ;)

[BohemianConspiracy]

is this a Keane piano ?

[kiendo64]

loveethis song but eet is what i do when i see micky dees i kick amazing song

[SilkySmooth105]

I want to make more of her. She's amazing, awesome... words. Words can't come close to capturing what this lady is. Why even try?

[mh4life101]

0:22 if i was a guy, i would have a boner. im straight but she is amazing

[Vonzylla]

Looking at people arguing as Youtube comments makes me lose respect for humanity

[unclepaul57]

@Vonzylla yup thats the correct response!

[Haduct]

This typewriter nonsense is llke a form of mass hysteria or something...

Eet has never been a key on typewriters...ask anyone old enough to remember when the things were still in common usage. I think the whole idea that eet came from a typewriter has to do with people watching this video and getting wrong ideas in their heads, then trying to get some thumbs up on YouTube by posting a "I'm right and you're wrong" comment that's been posted a thousand times before about some bullshit...

JEESH.

[GalwaygirlEarle]

@Haduct I actually asked my grandma and she showed me her old typewrite and it says eet... so idk how reliable your sources are buddy-boy!

[Haduct]

@GalwaygirlEarle REALLY?! Where do you live? It might be a geographic/cultural thing? I asked my mom and grandmother, as well, and they both said that the eet key didn't exist - and I've owned and used several typewriters throughout my life and none of them had it...

[GalwaygirlEarle]

@Haduct I'm definitely trolling, and I succeeded. myeh!

[Haduct]

@GalwaygirlEarle I see. I see all.

Or I don't, obviously.

Good job...

[TheImmutable]

@GalwaygirlEarle After own severla typewriters and looking through an entire online typewriter museaum, and seeing every nearly single one of them with a "back space" key, I find that hard to believe. Pics or it didn't happen.

[MsDeffoMik]

I'm trying to learn to play this on piano.....grrr.

[sarahluvspasta]

This song sounds sad but is happy :) very uplifting and changes your attitude towards life

[bootlag123]

I will take all your interpetrations into account and this will be my decision... THIS SONG IS AWSOME. meaningful and beautiful. :3 :)

[OrgasmicGamingCinema]

That's alot of mistakes to rewrite in your life and I'm sure we all wish we could so ourselves, but that's what makes us who we are. We have to move forward and live our lives and be accepting.

[quandrax]

106 people have a differing opinion on music than that of my own. And, I respect that.

[Irishdancer49]

Love the song!:)

[kandykissgal]

THIS song is amazing! LOVE HER! I remember first hearing her song 'Us' from 100 days of Summer

[WhyIsTheRumGone00]

@kandykissgal 500 days of Summer

[kandykissgal]

@WhyIsTheRumGone00 im an idiot don't quote me

[traceurelements]

Thats a typewriter, not a drumkit.

[GiggleGag]

What an incredible human being. Not one disappointment in her musical pieces, she continues to provide musical notes for moments I experience that are dearest and love the most. You never fail to empower me to live life on a whim, on my toes, and fearlessly.

[numb4z]

ilove her! she should make another album

[CaptainBruceNemu8]

If His Brothers Getting In The Way, Kill His Brother >o>

[shrwnt]

killer intro!

[PoeTreeKicks]

Fantastic. So simple & complex at the same time. A classic. I want my daughter to see this... she probably already has.

[tnuoccaeht]

I recently learned this video was shot in my town. I'm pretty freakin happy.

[Ubermonkeyspoon]

@tnuoccaeht Lucky!

[PyrusPiper]

Thumbs up if Regina Spektor's music gives yah goosebumps! :D

[imcolorblind1]

This song is the boom my friend says shes ugly i got to agree

[iateyourcooki100]

This is totally going as my facebook status.

deserves waaaaaaay more views

[iamuniqueism]

would like to put the chorus on an anorexia persons iPod and put it on repeat!! EEEEEeeeeeeeeeeettt, Damn it!!

[PatcHKonG]

i dont know why this doesnt have more views..

[mondosuper]

[viral video]

very perceptive...

[stinkynoodle3]

hmm. i think losing my metaphorically losing my testes is well worth getting this song on my ipod seconds after hearing it.

[11snicklefritz]

@stinkynoodle3 wow. wat are u talking about? haha how the fuck did that idea pop into ur head.

[japsocute]

I vaguely remember a song about forgetting your favorite song. I can't quite remember how it went, though. ;)

[ComedyEXP]

@japsocute Tribute?

[morenojalapeno]

i'm so hungry i wanna eet

[SmootyInYourFace]

<3

[LunaaLevy]

[BoboConan]

SHE'S THE FEMALE JAMES BLUNT! XD

[19shale]

man! shes going hard on that type writer!

[joswampr]

i sort of wish her song was her song was more melancholy the whole time but i will take it what it is worth.

[CarlosRobledo1993]

que genia Regina, muy buena cancion

[imcolorblind1]

when i heard this song i was like omg shes so cool

[ratalinx3]

Best way to put yourself to sleep: listen to this song.

[neelulal]

Eet is backspace on a typewriter, so she's saying she wants to backspace her life.. Just read that on a lyric video of this song ;)

[MoonShoesPotter89]

I want her typewriter :D Love the song!!!!!

[myselfamik]

This is a great song to listen to when I'm stressed. Love it.

[BraveHorseForever13]

who cares what it means. it is a beautiful song!

[LeahCantaloupe]

awkward moment when google translate says it's dutch for eat....

[Kuriix]

@LeahCantaloupe That akward moment when you are dutch and you thought this was a dutch song about eating..

[yumimonkey]

Regina is one of the few artists, who inspires me to be an artist. Even after my depression took most of my motivation away, I know I can always count on Regina to brighten my day.

[TheMaddyliciousness]

i really love this song.

i don't care what it's about:)

[AugustaJane]

She looks like Frida Kahlo in this video :)

[cuyversjan]

haha eet means eat in dutch, do you think she knows it?

[MrHowardrikki]

@cuyversjan no it doesn't.

[Leilago19]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeet eet eet eet

[2themadhatter]

ha ha LOLOLOL @stace986 thats not funny.

i wish my keyboard had eet on it...
