Barenaked Ladies - Elf's Lament [Live]

[TTOP848]

Some bands sound like shit live, but these guys are so good. I bet they barely have to edit when releasing it for radio or a CD.

[DelightfulDoom]

0:14 <- So you don't have to wait for such an awesome song.

[blackbunnyblues]

Im a boy from outerspace.



[TechBearSeattle]

Occupy the North Pole!

[pivotrobloxian]

I'm an elf!!!

[Jennithebaker]

Reminds me of my old job at a pie shop. My old boss loved this song, which is funny. Because she was the "Fat one" I so loathed.

[jesussavedme7777]

i love this song top 5 fav xmas songs

[punisher032388]

i love this song soooooo much it's so it explanes christmas so much

[drakon489a]

[Viralpigmonster]

they're really good at writing songs from odd personal perspectives

[AngryPenguin27]

Worst Christmas song ever written. Period.

[TheRobynmorin94]

@AngryPenguin27 Why do you say that?

[booshmoose69]

Love this song!! but i cant find the version with buble in it anywhere :(

[lovebug112484]

@booshmoose69 if you haven't found it already, i just listened to it on jango. such a cool song!!

[ahleighh8]

THIS SONG IS SO ANNOYING.

[algonacchick]

[lulasinh]

AMAZING :)

[kfunkdeluxe]

weakest song/performance

[BraPirate]

Wishing you Christmas season full of bitterness and working-class resentment!

[madeupperson3]

the hum's going to make my ears bleed

[interstellarsurfer]

Oh god, what's that noise?! AAAAHHHH!

[mpanulla]

Santa on the bongos!

[cowpie9365]

I love BNL, but you have got to get rid of the high pitched ringing in the background.

[SimpleNarutoNeko]

i love how they sound good in person, unlike other bands that suck live ^^

[Bipolaric]

what the hell is up with that screeching sound?!

[numbersmile]

6 people watched this video expecting naked ladies.

[supermandisco]

That's a really good song. BNL rule.

[456grg]

does anybody else hear that high pitched scteeeeetch?

anyway..

favourite band <3

[adventchristmas]

@456grg I do, but I love the song!

[HayaKusanagi]

@456grg I totally hear it..it's probably gonna give me a headache

[zeesta13]

6 people were expecting naked women.

[TheTylerOcon]

Oh my God, that background whining sound is KILLING ME.

[jen823]

bad whine in the background, unwatchable

[jbravin64]

simply put BNL is the most talented and underrated band ever

[starryskysrhere]

lmfao.... i love the Santa on the bongos!!!! awesome!

[charlie1der]

The lyrics to this song are some of the best that have been seen in years. The sweetness of the harmonies offsets the bitterness of the realities that they bring up in the song. You really can´t ask for anything more from a pop band. Have I ever seen a better pop song about the feeling of mutual guilt over a world system that exploits the less fortunate? I don´t think so. 

[HalfwayxThere]

Too bad Michael Buble isn't there :P

I love this song though! And BNL! Recently saw them on the 1st of May and they were still brilliant :) They're my favourite band, and will always be.

[TheLeadershipGroup]

too bad michael buble isn't there ;)

[Canpunkrocker]

bass player is so good

[JimboSlice51]

funny song

[Graydon902]

First time I heard this song this year--6 days after Christmas!

[cavedweller1996]

these guys should have some DLC on either rock band or guitar hero!

drums would kick ass

[TheSkippyJonJones]

they do, its Chanukah blessings, drums are quite entertaining

[chiefrollin]

heard this song in kroger's about a hundred times, love it

[djb10]

same here. i swear, working there has got me humming those songs all day lmao

[swadenater]

HAHA most people outside of Cincinnati have no idea what kroger is!!

p.s. I love this song

[hollypepper9]

Christmas is all about family, friends and tradition.I am going start my own tradition and this song is one to play every year along with the other great holiday jingles. Merry Christmas eh!!!!!!!!! Canada loves barenaked ladies.

[dbzrulesmorgan98]

Tennesee doesnt seem to know them much.

[tigerandbuddy]

Its nice to get away from all the traditional xmas songs! Good tune!

[somegalfromcan]

Does anyone know if they made a video with Michael Buble with this?

[twowordsJohnnyDepp]

Awesoem song, but not the same without the Bublé Man :)

[kingtimmy88]

OH MY GOD!!!!!, This song is unbelievable. You all think its funny for elf(That which don't exist) making a Union is funny. You all are dumb! nothing good comes from a union. AT ALL!

[IndigoIsRed]

I love this song! He may thunder, but if he blunders he may wonder where the toys went!

[lissettesilva]

Karl Marx's Estranged Labor! How true.

[mbdelorenzo]

Thats why if it was capitalism they would just choose to get another job. ;)

[someonerandom1000]

LOL! ELVES ON STRIKE!

[296577]

its a shame they lost theyre other singer.

:-(

[PrinceCurtis]

genius lyrics, that's why I like them

[Blankisha23]

Wuaaa... I love his stile n.n

[SameBodyy]

This is Turkish Music....

[Watabird]

You people better be naughty for the sake of those poor elves!

[PrinceCurtis]

lmao, genius lyrics. the reason this is one of my favorite groups.

[hockehh12]

the lyrics are pure genius

[paytertje]

Was hoping for the special guest to arrive on stage as well :D

[mdc28]

One of the cleverest lyrics I've heard in years. Breaks me up.

[Anarchemitis]

Man that would be awkward for Santa. Elfs want a Union, lest they strike on Christmas Eve. lol

[PatsyS3]

Excellent Song,very whitty lyrics as usual from the boys......

BNL rock :0)

[horsecrav202]

I love the Barenaked Ladies!!<3 Well in particular - I LOVE ED!! This is my favorite holiday song:D

[ncfcboy]

BNL rule - this is the ultimate xmas song - stuff Slade and Wizzard and all that crap.

[twasbrillig33]

right on, great lyrics, great message, great tune,music, song!

[voodoofan12]

this song is awesome

[Leafyberry]

WoW!I love this song so much.I want the c.d. that has this song on it.AWESOME!

[Kirinoko109]

It's okay. I guess I don't like BNL too much.

[TristanandIsolt]

I don't like BNL too much either. It is impossible to like them too much. A lot of people don't like them enough. One of the 20 greatest groups of all time.

[tokyomewmewismylife]

omg i love this song soooooo much!

[Mariamousie]

This song needs an animated video. :-)

[smerrigan]

this tune is a ridiculous arrangement..such solid harmonies

[skulldude44]

I was there it was AMAZING there so good!!!

[54spiritedwill54]

I love this song...it's just fun

[KingoftheFreaks]

The Bitter Elf song

Do not Reply

[thesithwithashotgun]

I'm surprised nobody asked who the guy playing the congas is. For future reference, he's referred to as "Tiny", and he's Tyler's drum tech. He often shows up on stage in costume playing various percussion instruments that can't be covered by the rest of the band.

[ktbruin1002]

It's SANTA, of course!

[thesithwithashotgun]

That explanation works too, I guess.

[drumgroovy]

Steve got the lyrics wrong 03:16. Steve said stumble and Ed said thunder. Very smooth... lol.

[kbdservant]

Holy crap, you're right

[masterwizard555]

Oh snap you just corrected the guy who wrote the song. Good god don't do that again you'll rip a whole in the universe.

[drumgroovy]

I don't blame him... this song can only be played once a year. If you asked them to play The History Of Everything (Big Bang Theory theme song), I'm guessing they won't remember a thing.

Because that's exactly what happened on Ships & Dip 3.

[masterwizard555]

roflwaffle to the 4th power.

[bennettgurls]

ahaha! thats hilarious:D

LOVE BNL!!!

[TheNdoki]

Man I've been listening to BNL forever but I've never truly appretiated how well they sing until now. These guys rock, and they are canadian!

[justlooking213]

I really liked Breathe thou Winter wind from this concert, Good luck finding it anywhere!

[okojim]

It's got such a cheery rythm to it, especially with the hand drums. I love it!!

[Elvengirl25]

This became my favorite Christmas song as soon as I heard it. I love BNL!

[Angelfire4161]

[KingArthurFan]

I wish!

[Angelfire4161]
