[JoeyLeddzDippin94]

@TheRealCardshark87 This isn't cover lol. It's his song. He's the lead singer of BNL.

[Bulaaate]

Youhouuuuuu ! :-D Génial !

[Louiselouislois]

@MsArtemisiaabsinthe hw thinks it's just crank cards...

[MsArtemisiaAbsinthe]

Anyone know what this song is about?

I'm guessing some strange obsessive stalker overseas, maybe an ex-lover?

[Bowielistener]

What kind of guitar is that, its beautiful. I want one.... Man, Ed is awesome!

[strikeforceteen]

I confess Ed.....I've been sending those...

[tommynicholas82]

[mkeywork]

1988 there was band that are A++++++++ One Week And Pinch Me Song

Steven Page And Ed Roberston The best Barenaked Ladies Page Is Gone But

Ed Is Lead Singer I Still Love The BNL 4 Life

[sanman312]

the other day on the bus my friend kept signing along to every song I was playing and my other friend got annoyed so he dared the first friend to listen to one whole song without singing along. He carelessly agreed so I decided to play this song. He didnt even make it 20 seconds :)

[musclekid13]

He would be the coolest next door neighbor ever haha

[crashtester123]

@musclekid13 He'd be the coolest anything ever:

Teacher, Neighbor, Boss, Friend... he's just the coolest : )

[thegreek2213]

What is the third chord played, at about 6 seconds in?

[thisshitiscalleddeaf]

A British chimp in the baaaaathh

[19craiggy87]

Hey man put up a version of "A" from maybe you should drive that would sound sick for a bathroom sessions song.

[elmntree]

love these guys!

[caseynbrown]

These guys r great. Get together and do another album like Gordon. Either way BNL all the way!

[77Melky77]

my old favorite song from when i was a little kid, ive seen you guys twice from when i was 9 and then again when i was 15 and all i remember was seeing you guys do this from when i was 9

[moosecorner]

omg his lyrics ROCK!



[FunkStyles]

the only text on his shirt you can see is ED), coincidence? i leave that up to you to decide

[Kooletz71]

@FunkStyles haha, knowing him thats probably why he bought the shirt, have you seen ED's up?

[PostmodLovegod]

Carrying on the great tradition of They Might Be Giants, XTC, Talking Heads--excellent band

[cblaker114]

@PostmodLovegod ... no offense... and I'm a fan of They Might Be Giants but BNL blows all these bands out of the water.

[SinOfDrkness]

[leeleeboo04]

Great song. Great version. And he is hot.

[Sister13th]

[baseballboy22222]

[DonTheTurtleDude]

[Gatris66]

[invincible12321]

you're an idiot. this is ed, the lead singer of barenaked ladies

[ctjazzking]

yo bro lighten up ibet udint kno every single singer out there

[BitchinMountainDew]

He's Ed, he wrote the song.

[ctjazzking]

bro it's cool dont listen 2 these tools that expect u to kno every musician

[PriestessAnann]

your wonderful!

[ctjazzking]

y did youtube take off the auto-preview of ur comments. ihad so much fucking fun with that

[BarenakedLadiesLive]

off topic, but just download speakonia. Its the same thing.

[omgstfujuliee]

LOL OMG THIS IS SO GOOD. 5/5

[MrGameAndWatch00000]

love it, 6/5

[alimlclm]

thanks Ed! Took the kids to see a free screening of Space Chimps today and lo and behold, there the song was! Made me and my daughter's day! :)

[hoBOshow123]

you fool!

[forsublimation]

They didn't just make this up.

It happened.

some crazy fan sent them a shit ton of chimp postcards.

[DafunkJr]

No way! Really? I thought they made it up! That's so weird.

[Matriculations]

is it just me, or do these guys have the best lyrics ever? :)

[KHVandread79]

Pretty much. They're so simple and absurd and I love it.

[billtips1210]

@Matriculations

No its not, they have the best lyrics ever!

[cprich22]

@Matriculations im pretty sure its you .....AND all of the living world that thinks THAT LOLOLOLOL :D

[54spiritedwill54]

You guys rock!!!

[garritcoe]

good song well awsome!

[LadyNekoshema]

i'd buy this cd, if they came out with one with all their songs with an acutic guitar

[mupman0]

That's funny, because the limited edition version of the CD comes with an acousitc version of this song, Maybe Katie and Second Best.

[KHVandread79]

That was a limited edition? I have it and never knew that.

[newfoundking]

this is a great song! It's halrious, BNL is good for that kinda stuff

[adamgore1]

awsome I love this song

[TouchMyPoo]

hes just amazing!!! <3!

[CmplteWrksofEvryone]

Did you know this song is based on a true story?

[amoebaman78]

The band may go on, but if Ed continues to sing the songs that Steven performed, it will ruin it.

[JTH1483]

I agree. As much as I love Ed's singing, I don't think he can carry all the songs. Steve's unique voice was part of what made the band so successful.

[adamgore1]

I dont know I think he did pretty good

[amoebaman78]

Different styles, Steven should sing the songs he sings and Ed should take his songs and obviously all the new stuff. They are unique vocally, and should leave it as such.

[Watabird]

I think he could sing the songs steven did, but it just won't be the same, so I would rather he not, personally.

[LadyNekoshema]

there's a couple i don't think they should change. it'd still be good, but not the same. like brian wilson or thanks that was fun

[KHVandread79]

I don't think anyone other than Page can sing Brian Wilson and give it justice. That goes for a lot of his songs actually.

[HppyEmoKid]

I hope the band still lasts without Steve

[flclfan85]

oh it will, I'm sure of it

[Snow123]

is steve the 1 with the glasses?

[lionns1nat2]

You guys are awesome!

[Nagisa4Shizuma]

i saw BNL in Brighton,England and they're really funny onstage.

[jazzguy75]

I think that the Bathroom Sessions were an absolutely great thing for them to do as a band; some of Ed's acoustic stuff is hard to get by ear, and it has really helped me learn alot of their songs. Thanks BNL!

[stickboy00]

I got to meet Ed and Tyler, two really cool guys to talk to :)

[peterbollt]

Love the lyrics in this song. =D

[b377a]

their awesome and i love eds show

[emosasuke911]

woot woot BNL rock my socks!!!! =D

[criagery]

You guys rock!!!

[hippowinchest]

man. the massey hall show was so good

they rolled three shows into one

[Olivoris]

Wow, you're good!

This used to be my favorite song when I was like 16 (or was it 17?). Either way, when it was like on the top 10, I was one of the supporters.

[F41107r0y]

i must say man you do some amazing work on the guitar and nice vocals

[chrissypink24]

LOVE BNL!!! I told my husband if I ever met Ed I would leave him and he told me that he wouldn't blame me. BNL for life!!

[isabellerobertson]

hahaha :) no one will !

ah , ed is so.. i dont know, adorable and one of the best , if not , he is the best !

[Hamster23NoOnions]

[satan207]

[skippertje08]

I love the ladies! These guys are the best live. I love how much fun they are. Definitely one of the best shows I've been to. Can't wait to see them again.

[ReBuffed]

Love this! Just found BNL and I'm gutted I never found them before... you should check out iSketchFender's animated tribute to this song... it's very cool. :o)It's all his fault BNL are my only playlist atm lol

[rockertokes]

[RainbowAddiction]

[JoltSoda]

you kinda of asked for it after this song. how many postcards did you get?

[JayJayKeatsCovers]

Love the smile at the end.

[Jro673]

Ya but he really whispers that long in the song its only shadowed by the rest of the band talking.

[spiffyusernamehere]

hahahhaaha! is so funny when he's whispering in the begining!!!!!! makes me laugh! XD

[wwwdtsclothingcom]

You guys rock. please keep up the good work.Being as big as you are you may forget where you started or where you came from...if you get a chance please try to forget all the "good things" that you have got in the last few years and try to go back to the mind state you had when you first started.Everything you guys have ever done is awsome.Please keep it that way....yourock

[straightedgexxx69]

this one is actually easier

gotta love it all

[laurenday5]

Man.. I was proud of myself when I could do every word, note, inflection to One Week... I should be supremely proud when I can master this song. Bravo!! This is so fun!

[PatsyS3]

Good Luck........

BNL are the Masters of Lyrics....LoL

[sjkjyt]

waa???

[love4theworld]

AWESOME!

[BadmintonSpartan]

you did a wicked job with the speed of the song nice job!

[normanozwald]

I'd love to hear a bathroom session of Get in Line and It's Only Me(The Wizard of Magicland).

That would be amazing I love Ed Robertson.

Oooh and a bathroom session of Call and Answer.

[Monthagny]

What is this song about??? really what the hell is it about? I first heard it on a plane on the way to canada and it just sounded like a bunch of old white american guys rapping about monkeys!!! whats it about

[virgonomic]

I read that it's based on a stalker who sent them postcards with chimps on them. Other interpretations are: 1) spam 2) the clutter that accumulates in our lives.

[scathmandra]

Wikipedia says that the idea for this song came when a neighbour sent Ed's son a postcard with a chimp on it. The song as originally meant just as joke song.

[ak47ish]

BNL rules, my brother in law recomended youtube for bnl. Not only have I found all the bnl tunes on you tube, but one of my faves doing covers of the songs we love by them.... dont forget to buy discs and go to shows.

[livinforjayflash]

When you say one of your faves doing covers, you arent talking about ed are you =/

Ed is in bnl

[goofybutkind]

explain how comment below is relavent, humane and true? so i can sleep. it's very hurtful to asain-americans and homosexual population and those of "whitees" who despise imperialism and genocide and hate crimes. God is the Judge.

[Kling182]

Ed Robertson is like my hero, I wanna hear a Bathroom version of Get In Line :D

[erniefernandez]

Not that my comment matters, but I think we all really appreciate these videos. You're good to your fans and that's why we love you moose riders.

[spatiq]

I absolutely love the Bathroom Sessions. :) You guys are amazing. PLEASE keep up the AWESOME work. BNL for president(s)!

[gthairyfairy]

u rock no i'm not a stocker

[PopCulturePrncss]

You are far too good to us....but since you look like you are really enjoying these sessions please keep 'em comin!! Much love ~ a fan since 1993

[gthairyfairy]

nice song chous  u rock out loud

[twadsy]

WOW. after each of these videos, my respect just keeps growing. This just adds to the validity of your bands amazing talent!!!!!

[virgonomic]

Absolutely amazing to play guitar and sing this simultaneously.

[IGLESIASVEGA]

do ever wear anything else besides longsleeve T's?

[spookythebando]

Mr. Robertson, you are quite awesome.

These 'Bathroom Sessions' have seriously inspired me to pick up guitar again. :-) Keep kicking ass!

[stagermom]

I love this song.

[InvaderLeigha]

I love this song! Great work. ~Leigha

[sharpshotoo7]

love that song i found my self getting in to it keep um a coming

[okiedokay]

simply wonderfull! I can almost hear the backgrounds and they are not even there!

[iammefl]

Thank you so much for all of these bathroom sessions. You are too good to your fans!

Much love from Florida~!

[Jon1Eve]

My favourite so far I think. Amazing. I hate requesting stuff, but please do When I Fall...I almost collapsed with shock when you ended the show with it in Manchester on Monday, it was incredible.

[tazary]

One of my favorite Bathroom session songs. Kudos

[tazary]

Bathroom Sessions CD needs to happen :-D

[maveness]

Ed,

Thanks! You are Desi(red)!! Love the grin at the end of the song and thanks too for looking in the camera more with these later additions...

Marie

[djdevo]

This is one of my favorites! Very cool. Thanks Ed for posting all of these videos! 5*

Peace, Love and Kokanee!

[okiedokay]

This is awsome! Where's Steve,Kev,Ty or Jimbo? I'd bet the bathroom is big enough.

[dlconnell]

This song is so fun -- I love it!

[emmabnl29]

This is another superb addition to the Bathroom Sessions but Ed looks like he is missing Steve- time for another double act post me thinks.

[trickofdisaster2]

One cool thing about you guys is that you almost take like, some reggae elements and put it in pop. Like your fast runs. awesome stuff

[jlh3205]

Good Stuff.. I always thought this was one of their best songs.. When the pre-release of it came out before the CD, I played it too many times. He's making this look too easy tho.. I really enjoy these videos..

[gordan]

This is definitly one of my favorite Bathroom sessions. Thanks Ed!

[sevinsue]

Love it love it love it!!!!

[wayamy27narf]

I love this song! Glad that it made it to the sessions!

[jzancan]

i wasn't sure what to expect at first. i know the full band version doesn't contain that much guitar, but you pulled it off....figured you would, i mean, it is YOUR song.

[elicitwildly]

This is definitely my favourite version of this song. Very cute.

[Vectorman18]

Man, I love that song. I find it amazing how well you sing the lyrics that sound like they would be a tongue twister to everyone else.

I saw BNL in July 2000, at the Molson Amphitheatre, got the tickets for my birthday. Awesome show, and they've only gotten better.

[ajreherman]

I will never forget when I first heard this song...it was at an E2E concert in Albany, NY and you guys had Steve's kids (I think they were Steve's anyway) with chimp masks on dancing around on stage. So fun! Thanks for taking the time to entertain us!

[tsipaul]

Ed, I could listen to you all day when I paint,.. Oh wait,.. I already do!,.. loved you performance in Sault Ste Marie... Truley pasionate about music for you to do this for us after months of touring,.. Thanks so much for years of entertainment!
