Barenaked Ladies - Who Needs Sleep? (Bathroom Sessions)

[coopmeister3000]

Is it ironic if I put this in my "sleep" ipod playlist?

[SoapMcwash]

I need sleep

[617619]

fuck yea. you can sleep when you're dead + preserved in the jelly of plastic death fields preserved by preservatives

[orchidcolors]

This song is GLORIOUS. I've had insomnia problems since I was a teenager, and this song gets me to laugh about it. AWESOME.

[hornets686]

loveeeeeee dis song!

[Zarren364]

*Has insomnia*

*Learns to play this song*

@LucyInTheSkyWitDim yes



[MrCopperhead1861]

Can't sleep..;/

[LucyInTheSkyWitDim]

ist zat the big bang theory dude?

[emmanems19]

@LucyInTheSkyWitDim Yep. The Barenaked Ladies wrote and performed the theme song for the show.

[MsArtemisiaAbsinthe]

Found this song during one of my many insomniatic nights... I think if there's any "pleasures of insomnia" this is it.

[CapnFancypants]

I NEED A GUITAR TAB OF THISSSSSS VERSION!!!!!!! amazing!

[dickbalaska]

@CapnFancypants Guitar tab??? You can't get any better than a recording of exactly what his left hand is doing throughout the entire Bathroom Sessions.

[bibulb]

(A) I suppose it's true what all the local musicians say - the bathroom has the BEST acoustics for recording.

(B) FREAKIN' AWESOME.

[barcodenation42]

4 people obviously are choking on balls so they mis-voted...

[Doommaster1994]

Thanks to this video, I know how to play this song on guitar. Thanks Ed!

[leahjane28]

He makes it look so casual!

[Robocheeseball701]

Ed kind of sounds like he's singing this after staying up all night.

[DutchTallJacker]

2:19 .....caust?

[BoseEinstein1]

666 likes, that's interesting

[cstacey182]

4 people do other things in the bathroom aside from singing, totally love this

[SinisterAurion]

Surprisingly enough, the bathroom is a great place for good acoustics.

[Blademasta989]

@SinisterAurion lots of hard surfaces. the energy is reflected, not absorbed. who says Physics is useless! :)

[koolkat104]

This song is so amazing!!!! *replay button is abused*

[Tortenson]

He's such an amazing guitarist!

[Guywithair2]

Great job man! I stumbled upon randomly just because I couldnt sleep. Big fan of acoustic music. Keep it up

[dragpie16]

im inpressed, no capo on the 2nd fret ;)P

BNL are amazing :D :D :D miss steve tho x

[Tower1151]

Go Ed!!

[Ktgrace1311]

Love this song soo much <3

[MrCopperhead1861]

I'm not really a BNL fan but hearing him just have fun and play amazing acoustic stuff is beyond cool!

[sattilteoflove]

This song and especially the 1st verse are how i feel trying to go to sleep all the time

[mkeywork]

fan since 1993 ed is still the best ever year

[pyrokingdragon]

The echo in that bathroom is just awesome.

[OtakuEmma]

Halla Halla Halla. Ed is love! <3

[caligirlmiami]

Great song, I love it

[sanman312]

[MeredithRedrum]

I think this song is about me >.<



[chrisorJohnny]

@MeredithRedrum Ditto

[CamdenShaw]

Love this song!! Are you going to do more bathroom sessions for the new album?

[aN00Bjust0WNEDu]

can you do a tutorial on this song pls?

[Mifian]

This is real talent. Sounding this good playing a guitar in your bathroom. None of that in studio synth/voice changing crap. Hooray BNL.

[CapnFancypants]

shit is amazing

[YoshiFan501]

[Kailys3]

looking this up at 3:03 am the night before I have a class I need to be up at 7 am for, cursing my overactive brain and inconsistent insomnia x.x

oh bnl, I'm so sorry you feel my pain.

[JohnnyBlazeGR]

@Kailys3 hey me too! xD

[faytgod]

@JohnnyBlazeGR lol same here, and i still have to finish writing a paper

[YoshiFan501]

@Kailys3 i listened to this and green day's brain stew

[UCanRockMyRazorblade]

Awesome :D:D

[DraxVideos]

this is likely the third best bnl song under, these apples and some fantasik sorry cant spell well

[DonTheTurtleDude]

lol fantastic

[pansquared]

On the album, it's actually a Chinese woman saying "hao la, hao la, hao la," which literally translated is "Okay, okay, okay," but is generally said quickly to tell someone to hush up or stop what they're doing.

Completely freaking weird, completely out of place, and totally BNL \m/ (-_-)

[Mykneesrcold]

haha 2:18. Halla Halla Halla, whats that about?

[rogerthat155]

by the way took me from 3am to damn now (11 : 42 pm) to learn it to the point where i can play it without screwing up more than once!! talk about a coincidence.

who the hell needs sleep really?

[randalthor12345]

nice job man, took me about a week to get the semi acurate version down well

[rogerthat155]

just learned to play my own simpler variation of this song from this video. feels great to learn new songs, but especially this. thank u ed, if i may even call u that :)

[awolfe911]

Halla Halla Halla

[tangledweb79]

@awolfe911 my favorite part-weird...

[HardlyRightHanded]

[SAmJaVV]

[LosPigg]

[rebeccabrierton]

@eebo2005 Me too!!!!!

[crash1283]

FIVE STARS!!! Keep playing dude!

[billandben0000]

AWESOME!!! love these guys (:

[WilhemDafoe]

I need to learn the riff he does at 1:21 - can anyone tell me what chord it's based on or anything like that?

[satan207]

It;s based off of G

if you know sweet home alabama on guitar, it's the same concept, kind of just hammer ons and pull offs on A string, second fret, and on D string, seconds fret.

[DjBarnzi]

what guitar is this?

[uncleangler]

It's an Acoustic guitar

[DjBarnzi]

@uncleangler DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRR

[Barenakedfanband]

Mr. Lightning-fingers himself...wow.

[paytertje]

Some say it's about... abstinence in a relationship.

Just replace SLEEP with SEX

[rekenner]

God damnit.

This led to the idea that, really, 90% of BNL songs could work with being about sex.

Some friends and I are working out which don't work.

There are surprisingly few.

[KhannKlan]

Don't feel too bad.

90% of all current songs are about sex. At least the BNL are a good band, great even!

[o0willum0o]

The only thing that counts is that i won't sex?

doesn't really work. Just sayin'.

[paytertje]

I sex you up.

[Reason1975]

this has been me recently

[kranshor]

Awesome, perfect imo apart from 1:22 where you do an odd country riff XD

[sloppypackrat]

I can totally relate ...... Insomnia sucks I should know..... but it DOES give me free time....

[heartcoldfusion]

God you're a fantastic musician.

[phoenix1650]

Great job, your breath control is amazing.

[Dusty373737]

so what EXACTLY is this about?

[TheseApples]

It's about insomnia, lying awake in bed and not being able to get to sleep. We've all been there, in fact, that's why I'm here right now :)

[Dusty373737]

xD yeah i had a feeling this was awhat it;s about

[AlanGarou]

Your voice is amazing.

[54spiritedwill54]

good song!

[me162009]

how do you play that song?

I've searched for the chords everywhere

good video by the way.

[marcuswoodruff]

you know what they are gereat

[lsutigers6798]

BNL is awesome. I just found out a couple days ago that my uncle actually helped make them famous in the USA. He works with CBS radio, and I don't know exactly what he did, but he knows them. I bet a lot of people will reply to this comment calling me a liar, but I don't care. I thought it was pretty cool. :)

[guhqbpvqesofmo]

liar

[lsutigers6798]

lol, idk if ur just saying that cuz i said people would say that and that ur being sarcastic, or you're being serious, whatever, lol. :)

[guhqbpvqesofmo]

i was just joking of course, that wasn't that far fetched of a claim to make at all. :D

[lsutigers6798]

Haha, okay. :D

[Ninjuri]

i feel an obligation to say :D

[1234peh]

come to brazil guys

[Fabigart]

He's so freakin great. As u see he could be a one-man-band. I love those acoustic versions. BNL are that fantastic. Love u guys! :)

- from germany

[SamanthaANewman]

you do not understand how many memories this brings back, i used to play this CD over and over again everyday and sing to it... your an amazing singer! i love it =)

[DinaS6]

Love this!!! Stunt is such a terrific cd!

[larsa0210]

Well i didnt know that these guys existed as long as they did cause im only 20 but i typed in "if i had a million dollars" and there's a video of ed and steve from back in the day when they were like 19...you will laugh ur ass off at eds haircut.....I think he should try to pull that off again...lol

[skipplet]

That's one of my favorite videos of them.

[jugglman]

what happened to your fan base? it seems that everyone has lost intrest or something. but i still love your music

[FalineElodie]

Ed, you are so my hero.

[edrobertsonfan]

i got a video from when they sing this live in 1988, it's unbelievable :-) they are so good. check it out !! :P

[omlettvillian]

1988? Gordon wasn't even released then!

[JamieeBabyy07]

Oh my god this is just like me and boyfriend lol..

[boiledpotato]

I'd love to learn this, but I can't see his fingers clearly. Anyone know all the chords?

[oddizeboy1020]

Haha, I used to wake up in high school to this song! It's great for overcoming that early-morning feeling of *ugh*

[veldinsparx]

True that!

[ticonderoga123]

Holla! Holla! Holla!

[joelabour2]

[EmilieSannessMusic]

[Hulavuta]

regurgitate is close to it.

That means barf hmm...

[edrobertsonfan]

whoaps, gorgeous *

lol x]

[llduendell]

I countdown, I look around....halahala...Lo maximo, esta cancion la escuchaba para darme animos en las noches mientras estudiaba.

[bethanyedwards]

This song is perfect for when it's 4am, you're still awake, and you have to be up in 3 hours for class. Which is me most days.

[veronikavaleria]

so true :)

[yuthra253]

Haha....it's 4:30 AM right now. Class in 3 1/2 hours.

[TheHackersGambit]

Yeah... True! Except I reply I DOOO! And have another sip of my Full Throttle drink!

[countroshculla]

This song was my theme song while I worked the graveyard shifts a few years ago. Ah! Sleepless nights, red eyes & black coffee.

[xXxGaaraXShukakuxXx]

I like your bathroom O_O

great song, I love the BNL

Their lyrics are the best..=\

[rinakkins]

haha. It's 12:10pm, I haven't slept well in years but the past two weeks I've been getting nightmares after about 2-3 hour of waiting to get to sleep then waking up pretty much every hour. This is sooo true for me xD. So I'll stay up later listening to it xD

[Sangsoolee88]

Love BNL. The best band ever!

[Joanka90]

aww this is so good!:)this along with 'one week' is my all time barenaked ladies fav:)

[zachbz]

i love the bathroom sessions, and, as many other people have said I wish there would be some way to come out with "Best of Bathroom" album or something. Awesome. Not a single one I don't like

[AllAboutMEHStudios]

One of their better songs, but I prefer the other guy, what's his name, Steven? He was great in the one week vid+

[l7487]

this is song has to be my favourite of mine....first time i listened to the album stunt this stood out....even better from the bathroom...

[zuri126]
