Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Stagger Lee

[TheCountCrumpet]

Barracuda.

[ilovemadelief]

Seeing Nick at a live concert is one of the most intense experiences! It's like everybody is bewitched. Hope to see him once more in Holland. Love him, he's the greatest!

[19CJMQ77]

...just count the holes in the motherfucker's head...how cool is this song!?

[shulya2573]

Абажаю!!!!!!!!

[nickmcaulley]

cocaines a hell of a drug! what an awesome song!!! One of our best songwriters for sure!

[soberhippie]

It was back in 32??? WTF? "Stagger Lee Shelton (March 16, 1865 - March 11, 1912)" -- Wikipedia. Or is it a different motherfucker called Stagger Lee?

[Hirnlego999]

@soberhippie Stagger Lee reincarnates. He's that bad ass

[D1ab0lical]

Nick Cave is the bastard son of Edger Allen Poe and Typhoid Mary. (google their pics)

[seansersmylie]

I'd crawl over 50 good pussies just to get to one fat boy's asshole. What a line.

[LoveDrugDiver]

Nick Cave is the sexiest man I've ever seen. Even in this pink shiny outfit :) UWIELBIAM!

[1984ThoughtP0lice]

@LoveDrugDiver HI -FIVE 

[1984ThoughtP0lice]

Has anyone read Nick Cave's book?? : And the Ass saw the Angel.

It is fucked up ! But a real good read , I recommend it ! 

[Kirkiiiiii]

@1984ThoughtP0lice I have read "The Death Of Bunny Munro" by N. Cave. It was really good too!! 

[1984ThoughtP0lice]

@Kirkiiiiii Hahaha thats awesome , I still have to read that one ! Have you ever seen Nick live ?

[Kirkiiiiii]

@1984ThoughtP0lice :-( No, I haven't....but I want sooooo hard to see him live!!!!!

[1984ThoughtP0lice]

@Kirkiiiiii Where do you live , I saw them in Australia at Big day Out. He truly was amazing!

[rd170483]

typed "bad mother fucker" into google and this is the first thing that came up

[b4bal1ty]

This video would be so much better with out an ad for Demi Lovato's new song in the background.

[66CureFan]

this could be made into a tarantino film,fantastic.

[astron0ome2]

I supposed to write an article for my blog but instead of writing that I am watching Nick Cave's videos again and again. Aaaand... I just wanted to find some music for background...

[Never2early4trance]

How come this is not censored but every other song on VEVO is???????

[keturiosakyss]

@Never2early4trance 'Cause this the NICK CAVE. :)

[prizm64]

The whole point is this Stagger Lee guy is the baddest motherfucker, gay or straight doesn't come into it. He's probably had a life of abuse then time in the penitentary in between inflicting violence wherever he goes, he'd fuck anything that moves.

[sofusbudtz]

If this was censored, You would not be able to hear half the song....

[limbelin]

Одет как пидор. Даже странно.

[akimaczar]

He looks kinda like Glenn Danzig in this, except that Glenn is short and fat.

[aornoyboys]

HAHAHA!!!!! WHAT A GREAT DANCE NICK!!!!!!

[YariCineMusic]

VERY VERY STAGGERLEENDDD!!!

[123CHRIS36]

when handing out the serial killer look, the devil saved the best for nick cave, f*&^ bumping in to him threw a dark ally

[ThePhilosopher1996]

Nick is the bastard-no way version of Mick Jagger

[csuri87]

1000!!!

[MaaaarrJ]

how can someone wearing a pink t shirt,with skin as white as snow,the thinnest body ever look and be so godamn bad ass?my god this guy looks awesome,to quote a teenage girl on facebook "OMG"

[MrPowerJr]

so is Nick Cave and Stagger Lee both gay or what?

[info1x2]

@MrPowerJr

Well i dont see Stagg being homo in this song, he talk maybe those thing but in end he fill him with led, if he was gay i think he would let Billy suck him first

Stagg is bad motherfucker

[MrPowerJr]

@info1x2 "I climb over 50 good pussies just to get to 1 fat boy's asshole!" what about that? ahahahaha

[superarmysoldier12]

@info1x2 well, maybe Billy was an ugly motherfucker.

[2ndnickthegreek992]

@MrPowerJr Stagger Lee is a major motherfucker. Nick Cave is the pangalactic king motherfucker.

[alexanderpavlides]

why are JLS advertised on a Nick Cave song!

[b4bal1ty]

He reminds me of Lou Reed who dances like Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

[bleddyn9]

T shirt!

[MrUndify]

9 people have walked in billy's shoes..

[TheJahness]

'Culéééé!!! Ben là j'entrave l'english !!!

[Aniuka]

Anybody knows who was directing this video?

[AtBunkergateSeven]

blixa = no. 1 screecher.

[jimparkster]

hes a f...k..en master at making music..

[elsaelsa1970]

NICK at his best..ohhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhh!

[elsaelsa1970]

NICK at his best.......loved the way he moves..........and those eyes could hypnotise!

[PortableMC]

The things you learn on you-tube .. I had never noticed that he was wearing a take that t-shirt. This was one of the first music videos I pulled Focus on .. and on the first take the camera shuddered when line came through about the "50 good pussies" Because neither myself nor the cameraman could believe what we just heard ..and just looked at each other with a kind of "WTF" type look.

[AaronAJL1991]

the take that t-shirt is classic hahaha!

[rich4686]

This song is soo ridiculously manly, nick had to wear a take that t-shirt to make it ok for the masses!!

[milirod]

He can wear pink but you can't mess with the caveman!

[GreenMindxD]

this song so bad ass

wailing guitars and nick's haunting narration

love it



[cromozzer]

jea jea jea.... i'm bad mutherfucker...

[MultiFartattack]

The 'take That Love you' T-shirt makes the video!

Fantastic!!

[astur223]

The gay dancing is i parody of rap when the girls is dancing in bikini, tight shirts , tiny shorts and things like that.

[TiborCsuprik]

TAKE THAT LOVE YOU

[TheNessteea]

favorite song but what's up with the gay videoclip?

[MephProduction]

@TheNessteea well Stagger Lee was gay

[Harryolo]

@TheNessteea Beacause Stagger Lee is MotherFuckingGay....Listen to the lyrics

[remindbender]

@Harryoloco-co do you listen carefully? b~boys doo da dubstandarts downsteps up stunts ;-)

[amaxis23]

Theres a lady dancing with them, i think is pj harvey... specially at 4:35 when they praise her

[molotovito09]

JEJEJEJEJE YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[9inchsradius]

So thats what Nick wears when his suits are at the cleaners

[misfitstattoo]

@9inchsradius He could wear a ballerina costume and still be cool as fuck.

[mudo624]

Heh so this song inspired the marvel villain barracuda

[namflow11]

this ust be the only VEVO video where there are swear words

[MrBobthedog1]

shame you washed the t shirt, sure theres thousands of women and a few men who would pay good money for that t-shirt

[staggeringlee]

I claim full responsibility for this video, and it was my t-shirt Nick wore (seemed ironic at the time as Take That were splitting up)... cheeky chap tried to take it home and we had to wrestle for it. I won, although it needed a good wash after the shoot..... I am afraid the gay gogo dancers were my fault too (an enjoyable casting...)

[stonecoldjuneau]

@staggeringlee it WAS ironic at the time, I remember seeing this video on MTV when it was first released and guffawing quite a bit at the t-shirt (Robbie Williams had already left Take That and the rest were having a bit of a hard time). Never thought about the video as gay though, just unsettling

[joetotale1]

@stonecoldjuneau I know I'm not gay, and that tshirt is appalling, but he is quite sexy isn't he? If I was a girl I definitely would!

[BarakudaNah]

So underestimated

[CalypsoU2fan]

he is hotttt !!! :DD

[dano555666]

Such a fake prick. Aussie pretending he's some yankee rockabilly prick.

[Oiaku]

@dano555666 Choke yourself

[100Asphixiate]

@dano555666 I always perceived nick cave as a genuine, eccentric individual, who borderlines on genius. His ability to tell a story and paint a mental picture for the audience is incredible. If anything he is one of the few artists left that actually has creative integrity.

[poddylamb]

Today my friend and I were driving through the country and listening to this in my car. We got bogged and Stagger Lee came up and helped us out. He had a knife and a huge four wheel drive and spoke to us about hunting... the most terrifying experience ever.

[MrMojoRisinn]

fucking great

[2ndnickthegreek992]

Now, imagine making sex with a horny Beyonce of the background while listening to this.... It'd be very motherfucking, wouldn't it?

[artur15972]

how many times he says "motherfucker"?

[lyonlamb]

@artur15972 Enough times. The right amount of motherfuckin' times. ;)

[rubyherring]

I regularly come back to watch this video, just because I love to see Blixa's display of the epitome of pure oldschool awesomeness.

[geoffwoade]

0:30 to 0:33

too badass to be true

[liquideskin]

Nick is so like Bowie in this video..maybe it's the pants

[todddeth]

Why must I be subjected to that wretched whore gaga's face while I am listening to this pure genius? Fuck she's an arse clown!

[TheAnxiousMan]

Stewart Lee

[benreichstein]

Pink shirt owns mate.

[CoDJumper]

Like this if @charltonbrooker sent you.

Not sure why I said that, purely to fit in with the trend I guess.

[Smithers103]

@CoDJumper All hail the sheep... God save the shepherd!

[papercotton]

2:11 take that love you on his tshirt

a really fast frame

[katewixen]

Awesome comments here!!!!!!

[italiarosoneris]

Fuckin sic! N I C K  R U L E S

[abekatse123]

@373979 den uparxeis gia mena pleon.

[Riverhill]

I believe this is the story of the man that is in the mind of all the homofobes.

[MrK9nny]

6 people need 4 holes in their heads

[bushweednever]

"i crawl over 50 good pussies just to get to one fat boy's asshole"... it doesn't get any filthier than this

[chylimzbydzi]

didn't think it was soooo gay;) luv it!

[Fenorn]

Have they been using LSD again?

[cheekykiwi21]

<3 Nick Cave

[machotacreuse]

Hi Vevo, I am listinning to Nick Cave, so, What the hell do you thing my ears are, to be cut by stupid advert ?

[240turbovo]

hello fooker;)

[adsones]

MELHOR CLIPE

[hjallermand]

[Jnth007]

this one never gets old!

[blingbobbackup]

where the girls at ?

[SummerAlmostGone]

He dances like no other person xD

[Mitchall76]

@SummerAlmostGone Looks a bit like Mick Jagger moves ;)

[reaperette]

Ultimate badassery, I fucking love it.

[brainskewer]

steve buscemi on guitar there

[ManuBruynseraede]

Rarely seen brilliantly orchestred explosion of erotic violence. Vivid story told. Big statement to all those who want to use the word 'motherf***er' in speech ... but there's no such music on it.

[desoi]

yet another poxy vevo vid that won't load

[siske666]

Just count the holes in the Motherfuckers head!

[saradju]

to f u c k!

[R0ckers2R0ckers]

Stagger Lee, Henry Lees mad twin brother an' he's lookin' for the woman that ran his Henry through with a pen knife then dropped him down that well, more than one hundred feet ...he sure is angry

[TylerDurden718]

From some reason this song reminds me on Tom Waits song Hang On St. Christopher which is among best songs i have ever hear

including this one as well

=0Fu67X5kA5g

[efkagore]

thooose dances... :))) you have to just love it! :) epic song...

[sindr0ne]

@dmcwinners He's probably referring to the VEVO graphic around the actual player.

Awesome track, awesome band, not so awesome dancing.

[jackfree64]

it oozes cool

[davyinvasion]

At first hearing it I felt like, fuck this sucks.

But when he started saying "Bad Ass Motherfucker" it was like: God damn, this song's awesome.

[MissRichocheting]

The Murder Ballads...Some sick charecters...Murderers kinda are tho, accurate dipiction, true artistry

[WildKurtisTrent]

O.O

[roumi123]

FUCK YOU VEVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DmCWinners]

@roumi123 where is vevo you dumbass? - its emi.

[kimbostube]

rarrrh......very very very grooving

[dubstep55]

i seen that song in glastonbury 09 was EPIC !!!!!

[pete2567]

@dubstep55 was there as well bottle of jack in one hand and a smoking substance in the other hand dam good times

[xenos60]

Always thought this was based on Stack O'lee by John Hurt

[flamadiddler]

@xenos60 that's partly right. there have been so many versions of stagger lee, stack o'lee, stag o lee that it is thought the song dates back to late 19th century. the archivist john lomax discovered a published version of the song during his treks into the mississippi delta in 1910. herb wiedoeft recorded a version in 1924 and john hurt in 1928. it's pretty amazing how this song has a timeless resonance.

[Yarghvid]

At first I thought it was the guitar wailing.. until I realised it was Blixas' wail of doom and my head exploded. I am writing this with no head.

[staggersu]

@Yarghvid doing good thinking without your head..

hope they didn't accused ya of a terrorattak, god bless you head and b.blageld is very explosiviteur and guilty of at least your case. greets staggersu

[aaronjfornarino]

@Yarghvid best comparison is Einsturzende Neubauten - Seele Brennt from the album Halber Mensch.

[Stockhauz]

i dreamt that he was in Take That because of this video...

[AnastasijaKobrinska]

hot

[mmbisgaard]

NC...you´re my man, can´help it  !!.....Get back to Copenhagen.....SOOOOOOOONNNNNN­NNNNNN!!!!

[rubyherring]

Notice how Blixa has a guitar around his neck most of the time in the video, but doesn't play a single chord. I just love this man. He looks so very shady and awesome in this video.

[Laestadius]

Bad Seeds videos always have the right amount of sleaziness in them.

[martianboy]

This song must have the most 'motherfucker's' in the history of music!

[noahcism]

This motherfucker oozes more sex appeal than Mick Jagger

[grizilyspectre]

I am Stagger Lee

[averilleX]

imma still trying to track down the guy in the yellow shirt! Lolla!

[millercork]

when i win the lottery im going to listen to this on my mp3 player walking down the corirdoor in work with a paintball gun

[DudeNumberOnePlus]

@millercork So do I. Only I will be walking with an ax.

[grungeboy7777]

wheres the bass line?

[75dannybear]

theres nowt gay about nick cave... hes knobbed kylie minogue and natalie umbruglia

[ThePhiZzo]

epic song, but kinda gay though. great song

[CrocodileBurgers]

hahaha, god I love Nick Cave, how can he dress like Freddy Mercury and still look like he could kick Chuck Norris' arse?

[Hedged001]

I know the real Stagger Lee!

[Ruthyphro]

This is wonderful - the best rap/hip hop song ever! Hell Yeah!

[misanthropekill97]

EMI CUNTS

[GATIYO666]

BUENISIMO!!!!!!!!

[benji7]

I think it is intentionally homoerotic, with the pink shirt and dancing guys in tight shirts because Cave's version of Stack o'Lee is gay. Plus he needs to offset the utter badassery.

[syd6ful]

They should make a movie called Stagger Lee and star Nick sporting that Stetson hat and a big " F off" goatee

[realsax75]

Immenso, Unico, Pazzoide e Geniale Nick Cave !!! E a chi si impegna nella traduzione della canzone, pago una cena. Ma deve arrivare alla fine!!

[realsax75]

Immenso, Unico, Pazzoide e Geniale Nick Cave !!! E a chi si impegna nella traduzione della canzone, pago una cena. Ma deve arrivare alla fine!!
