Common People

[tinamljames5]

great video

[ilovecolinandbrad]

This is better than the original, because William Shatner's actually PISSED. He sounds so angry and outraged at this rich chick who wants to 'live the life' just for a day.

[paranoidwerezompire]

Calvin and hobbes dancing.

Epic

[TwiztidShet]

Yeahh credit Ben Folds also....

[69bann]

[brianbarnhartinc]

Great mash-up!

[samspadexxx]

Fantastic job, mate, bloody well done.

[coffeescup]

this song is just the best. i cant explain why. you must have edited the audio too, because i dont remember the chorus sounding like children. awesome!

[Sir4Paco]

[Sir4Paco]

@Sir4Paco wait, I wrote that as I was watching the beginning of the video, let me rephrase that, it's really great :D

[admiralandy1983]

[canabisonmars]

@admiralandy1983 have you at least listen all the available covers of this song to tell?

[admiralandy1983]

@canabisonmars why should i want to?

[Mogradjinn]

Just looked for the song to show a friend. I think your treatment has doubled its value. Bloody marvellous! Cheers.

[RyanWLowrie]

I know this will sound corny but I don't care: the way you edit footage to lyrics is an art form and you are brilliant at what you do. Cheers to you for being awesome.

[69bann]

Great Job! Thanks so much!

That is far, far too fucking funny mate... I've just posted it on facebook.

[deepindercheema]

WE enjoyed to 'dare to feel the funk'. My congratulation to the maker of this little vignette.

[majora23]

where is the "hypnotic dance" part from??

[DavelovesRealMusic]

I think this is the best of the 'created" videos for the song...except I am still waiting for someone to post videos of nasty roaches crawling up a wall. lol

[MinaLeBon]

she was definitely Greek! ahhaaaaaaaahahaaa!!!

[OmegaWolf666]

The "caught my eye" visual was great.

[TheChaser666]

I actually like this version better than the original =/

[EDVIDEOGOD]

Awesome! Nice job editing it-and Bill Shatner, Joe Jackson and Ben Folds... what a combo!

[screwyootube1]

'Tis brilliant. Shatner is one of the coolest septuagenarians around.

[5000433]

I just looked at this, while searching for a definative "common people" for my collection.

Is it just me or this this BBBRRRILLLIIAANNT??

[sickpuppy7]

Brilliant video mate!

[IheartChiroptera]

Bravo Maestro, Bravo! Nice montage! And what you did at 0:43 to 1:03 is an indication that you might possibly be the most dangerous man on earth...

[mbsayer]

You forgot to give credit to Joe Jackson, who also sang in the cover.

[xarod]

Pure Art.

Awesome collage, indeed.

[serpente300]

AWESOME !!! FANTASTIC !!! Never get tired to listen to this music :)))))

vodkaclouds (2 days ago)

[sabertoothdildo]

[oliver8758]

oh yea baby dont you like star trek

[spacejustspace]

It's a great song, surely, but . . . anthem, Punkybusiness? ANTHEM? How can a song about class hatred be an anthem? So British.

[greygeek11]

I am the biggestcocker fan and only found out about this version tonight. What a fab video you have made!

[Punkybusiness]

That's truly rubbish!

What's next then, eh? Harrison Ford singing This Charming Man? Richard Hatch doing Live Forever?

LEAVE OUR ANTHEMS ALONE!

[Katariza]

Luv you Dylli-head!!!!

[meltrux]

nice! :)

[cooter069]

Great work DBB. I watched it twice - started with 1 beer - ended with 4! It just got bettterrr! (go figure) Keep up the good work!

[GerardEarthfield]

KHAAAAAAAAAAN!

[888london]

what a load of shit, off to listen to jarvis and the real version

[mundrubjet]

Off with you then, wanker. who gives a fuck about you and your unheard of version. Piss off...

[gangsterchronicle]

haha yes, 'unheard of' despite it selling about 1000 times more as a single and in an album than this version... Don't speak if you don't know the facts mate...

[mundrubjet]

Sales... yeah, thats whats important. I mean, of course, no one will ever be better than the original. But i give a crap about numbers. I like what i like and i like this... So if you don't then go fuck off somewhere else. Who gives a flyin rat fuck about you and your numbers...

[evelynmh]

This is by far the better version.....I could care less about Pulp...but Shatner, Jackson and Folds make it a classic!!!!!

[rabbitgalaxy]

I LOVE SHATNER!!!!!!

[chadwicks733]

Anyone with rabbitgalaxy has to be cool!

Shatner and rabbits rule!!!

[rabbitgalaxy]

Yep, I agree, Shatner and rabbits do rule!

[mundrubjet]

Does anyone know who did the kick ass actual playing of the music on this cover?? Oh yeah... Three cheers for Joe Jackson and his band!! Hip, Hip...

[YoukaiLaurana]

Ben Folds produced this cover version of "Common People" for William Shatner's album Has Been. [wikipedia]

[zantac180]

SHATNER KICKS ASS!!

[pucerainette]

[mykeyopens]

[chadwicks733]

I like. And yes, Shatner rules!

[thebravster]

Awesome. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and this is a brilliant cover.

You should mention that Ben Folds also contributed to this cover.

[moersenice]

[bdivy1]

[mattmagnay]

[Lazy3Pete]

Yes -- but they weren't in the cut-down "commercial radio" churn-out version

[carmenstuff]

damn i can't stop watching this. It is fab and addictive.

[spikeyalan]

[eleventy5]

FUCKING RAD MAN!!! =P

[victorbarrionuevo]

[souledout666]

[LyricsBuster]

[StoopKidsAfraid]

He isnt a common person either....

[dspikey]

[vitaliwths]

She came from Greece,

she had a thirst for knowledge.

She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College.

That's where I caught her eye.......

[dugar1234]

She told me that her dad was loaded

I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola"

She said "Fine."

and in thirty seconds time she said.......

[wed1867]

The original version is much better in my opinion

[snakehipsohoolihan]

Brilliant!

The best thing I've seen on YT for ages..

[runbambirun]

tre - fucking - mendous

[tonybell1967]

tre - fucking - mendous

[sswishon]

That rules the tube! Thanks.

[joetube777]

fuckin A!

[TVaclavicek]

Thanks for adding... if I only could create such a video... - but I am extremely lame at it...

Which programm do you use for it?

[DeathByBadger]

Pieced it together entirely with Windows Movie Maker.... Cause I'm poor.

[gbvpilgrim]

the boy dancing hypnotically.. where did that come from??? thanks.. great video and song.. love it..

[kittycatelena]

Ahhhhhh, thank you for this.

[Qtip1124]

This video was amzing, great job dude!! "Jesus Saves" haha i've never laughed so hard in my life

[LaCokaNostrazGR]

nice!

[DeathByBadger]

Well, it's been almost a year since I put this up. I want to humbly apologize for not giving Joe his dues. I was half asleep when I put the end on the video. I haven't put anything up in a long time, mostly because I keep getting scolded for putting music in my videos. I want to mention that all the moving clips in this video were random animated gifs I found on Photobucket, or still shots I edited to give the illusion of movement. Maybe I'll try something like this again soon!

[FROGGYDOHERTY]

great video justice for a great song better than pulp...the album that will shat does is also great

where did you get the clip of the way fella dancing?

[Jersey2Bronx]

Effing BRILLIANT. Kudos.

(Only criticism - It was covered by Shatner and Joe Jackson - gotta give Joe his props :) )

But loved it! Very well done!

[Neithie]

Holy crap x_x

[scottbailey84]

and the clerks bit innit too! good job

[scottbailey84]

willshat is a fucking legend

[Mikemix007]

This so much better than Pulp's version.

[jockay]

You gotta be kidding!

[youlittlemonkey]

I love William Shatner! He can do anything!

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Rocks!

[burnhipsterburn]

Magical.

[Gerry1959]

Warp factor 9 !!

[MauroSDMF]

This video is great!

Greetings from portugal!

[lb8x]

Actally that's easy:

- Jesus being the goalie: nothing wrong with that. Plus my kids are not religious - Jesus doesn't ring a bell for them

- Electric razor: they wouldn't understand unless I explain the joke to them (which I didn't)

- On the other hand, the self-burning stick figure is pretty self-explanatory.

But... I have a feeling you were just asking a question to which you already knew the answer.

[aedanthecelt]

I did know the answer. I won't be missing you and your kiddos at Burning Man, then. ;)

[lb8x]

Very good. I would have liked it better without the burning man though. Because of these few seconds I won't be able to show it to my little kids, even though the rest is hilarious. Too bad don't you think?

[aedanthecelt]

So, the Jesus keeper, or the electric-razor-you're-doing-it­-wrong is okay for your kiddos to viddy, but a stick figure on fire is wrong? You're either incredibly smart, or incredibly not, but props either way. Keep doing your thing. XD

[meredumais]

Love it...but why wasn't Joe credited at the end as well?

[DonGlenston]

Awesome video. Possibly one of the best videos I've seen on youtube. I think someone will struggle to do a better job than this.

[kellyalonzi]

Wow! You did such a incredible job. You are very talented. This is so addictive that I can't stop watching it. Well done!!!!

[smileyet]

Cool. Thanks. Got me in the first few seconds. Classic :)

[adamc0ulter]

M I N T E D

[mucalinda]

that was the best one of these I've seen.

[dontalkshite]

That was a very clever video and entertaining too. thank you.

[skywalker325]

Hilarious! Way to go; I'll check out your other stuff.

[DeathByBadger]

You love the Shatner.

We all love the Shatner.

<3

[GregGallows]

This is my favorite DeathByBadger video yet :)

Great song, awesome video, totally 5 stars.

[DeathByBadger]

Yay! I'm still finding my niche 'round here, so the encouragement is definitely welcomed!!!

With no webcam, and no time to attempt animation the hard way again, I'm a little limited as to what I can do on YT.

[GregGallows]

your doing an awesome job :)

\

Just do what you like and have fun with it and everything will work out :)
