Barenaked Ladies - Thanks That Was Fun (Bathroom Sessions)

[LoverStyleJump]

It's a disastrous time for sentimental things to me. And i think this song understands me better than many other friends of mine. It's weird, like the Barenaked Ladies. Even for that thing is the perfect one.

[1uc4rd]

@LoverStyleJump I totally get you, last year I was passing trought a really hard time emotionally speaking, classic story the wrong person the break up the revelating true XD, all a mess, and this sing was with me All along, and that's how I ended up playing it and singing it and it made me feel a lot better.

[LoverStyleJump]

@1uc4rd

I hope everything is right, now :)

I must admit that now is so different than one/two months ago. I fell in love again with the right person, this time. She does volunteer work, a martial art, she has a beautiful smile and simply makes me happy. Well, i don't know for sure to make her happy and something like that...but if i have to be sad again for someone else...well, she's the right girl. I'm sure of it :)

[MyRubb]

only eighty-six thousand views? People must not have grown up in the nineties when music was struggling to keep the talent.

[flobleglob]

bnl the greatest thing to come out of Canada since maple syrup XD

[xXxmonsterkeksxXx]

Like it :)

[russoakes]

THE perfect break up song lol.

[fssalaska]

Love it !

[233karel]

nice

[hawkdude24]

Anyone notice he changed up the lyrics?

[marinpetricevic7]

@hawkdude24 it's not the only song in which he did that

[aquangel555]

@hawkdude24 ya I actually just noticed that,haha.

[ozluzon]

great



[TheGhettojuice]

omg i love this <3

[freak184]

I went to a bnl concert recently and ed was talking about how he though of this song and he said " only a few chords and it sounded so badass"

[MrJayrock620]

rock on ed! i sing in my bathroom too lol

[AsLongAsFiyeroIsMine]

I hugged Ed a few days ago at a meet and greet. I hugged a musical genius :) <3

[ceri22]

This really makes me wish I could play guitar!

[nickvg17]

so jokes how everyone thinks he is doing a cover when its his song

[JustinCordeiro]

nice cover dude!!

[Ranger03Mike86]

@JustinCordeiro not a cover

[JustinCordeiro]

@Ranger03Mike86 i know. i was joking. i think it is pretty cool that ed takes the time to do acoustic versions from his own house. pretty awesome!

[zelda7792]

Lots of people like recording in bathrooms. It's not unusual to find a music artist who likes siting in a bathroom while he plays songs.

[acwilde]

@zelda7792

that is the lead singer of bnl singer you doofus.

you should not be allowed to pretend to be a fan if you don't even know who the lead singer is....sad..

[zelda7792]

@acwilde Personally I don't think pretentious assumption jumping asshats like you should be allowed to even live. I know who he is. I was just saying that a lot of artists will just go to their bathroom if they want to jam instead of driving to a studio.

[Zappafan5150]

That was a good cover but it doesn't sound anything like the barenaked ladies

Good try

[asecooper222]

@Zappafan5150 I really hope this is a joke. Ed is from BNL.

[xoxkatlilyxox]

@Zappafan5150 ahahhahaa that IS them :|

[ashtree80]

heh good acustics!

[mandm0821]

should hope so lol!

[briantfenton]

gotta love Ed R and his band...why the bathroom, tho????? why, not the "TGI Friday's" session???? thanks, that was funny.......happy weekend, youtube friends........Brian Thomas.......

[kleesin]

Bathrooms have great acoustics :)

[Blademasta989]

Bathrooms are usually covered with tile or another hard water resistant material. the resulting echo adds a nice pretty natural reverb.

[DarlinNikki420]

I love your voice! one of the sexiest I have heard! Thanks! Love this song! Take Care Gorgeous

[bojo48]

I like the raw nature of these sessions...excellent videos from a talented artist. I would love to see "The flag" done this way.

[maierkyle]

such a fun song to play, thanks for putting all these up!!!!

[101shialover]

i read a fanfic bout flight 29 down inspired by this song... good story..

[SoccerSereno]

its about a hook up right?

[samurairacer21]

depends what you class as a hook up, i like to think of it that the 2 people agreed to be in a relationship with no commitment, but the persona (if thats the right word) started falling in love basically which wasn't what they had agreed.

My opinion anyway.

[Ajb75]

keep it up Ed!

[princesslehaha]

My all time favourite bnl song... brilliant lyrics. This sentimentality doesn't look good on me...

[briantfenton]

fuck.......is this ED????? wow.........

[amsalmighty]

I can't wait to see them in October.

Awesome song :)

[sasmore]

brilliant song

describes all relationships where one or both people fear commitment

[BFTVPROX100]

Oh this takes me back! I can remember back 4 or 5 years ago this was the only band I ever listened to! I kind of lost them. But it's soo nostalgic to hear these songs again!

[Watabird]

That's me right now......for the last year and a half. XD probably for a while. lol

[sloppypackrat]

easily my favourite song by you guys both to listen to and to play....

[angelusgabrielus1982]

This song reminds me of my divorce, thanks Ed, and thank God I've gotten over it and found someone again, brilliant song and I still listen to it, standout song from their greatest hits album

[RyanManRules]

This song is the reason I got into playing guitar. Thank you Ed.

[cesarr956]

I'd given up on the ladies after "Stunt" but hearing this song while it was promoting the Best Of kept my faith in you guys, and i've followed you ever since.

thanks, ed

[phophuklei]

I grew up with "the ladies" and listen to this song daily. Great tune.

[ductapelosergirl]

I'm in the early stages of a breakup. This song helps. Thanks Ed!

Brandie :)

[jamesgaspard]

For real, this song is GREAT for that. :)

[rotateleft]

im going through the same thing...and this song really helps

[PrinceCurtis]

Love this song. And he's doing this cause they're cool like that.

[mamiyax82]

one of my favorite songs. it's so touching.

[54spiritedwill54]

One of my fav BNL songs , you're awesome!

[dancedancerount]

won my heart 6 seconds INN haha really thooo

[4Joe20]

its teh acoustics in the room they're perfect so they call them the bathroom sessions and alot of times they're better then the originals i find... easy to learn off these videos too

[DinaS6]

One of my favorite songs! Amazing!

[nanakruppa]

Almost crying with this acoustic version... You are amazing, I can't believe I lived so long without knowing this band. Just wanna let you know that someone here in Brazil loves you desperately.

[Batman5228]

I was just on the ships and dip cruise and steve seemed like he had already left but Ed and the rest made it the best cruise iv been on so i dont think the flair that bnl is known for will fade

[nintendork64]

Thanks, that was good!

Don't forget, you're the best!

'K, now I'm done...

[Crush1998]

This is the best cover ive hear gj......lol jk!! this song is the bomb the video is even better..i coulda sworn this was about the band breaking up a couple of years ago...it had made me pretty sad lol but its all good now

[underscorex5]

it makes me sad that crush's comment is now outdated :(

ahhh hopefully they'll regroup later on

[Crush1998]

man....did they break up??? i have no clue

[underscorex5]

Steven Page is :(

Apparently he's doing a solo thing though, so maybe they'll get together later on.

They came to Vancouver last year and I didn't get tickets, I hope they get back together

[edrobertsonfan]

steve page left the band :(

i got a video dedicated to him on my account, check it out if you want.

[Gruntlord1]

your pretty good better than anyone i know ^^

[chefluke52]

obviously u know this guy is one of the original guys right?

[Gruntlord1]

i thought he looked famillyar... but why is he on Youtube singing in his bathroom?

[chefluke52]

no idea

[peggles727]

Because that's what they do and that bathroom has great acoustics. BNL is the good kind of crazy

[LisaMcIntosh007]

Hot!

[fishburger7]

no thank you bnl that was hella fun.

[crackdadd3]

Wow!!

[PLUGTESOREILLES]

Great song ! Great picking ! Great lyrics!

BNL = one of my all time favorite band and I am 50 !!

[TheRustyAcoustic]

That was awesome. i had a phase of listening to you guys continuously for about 6 months, and then that part of my life left, and with it the soundtrack (your music)... i heard this on my girlfriend's iPod and it rekindled the love!

Paul

[ladiesandboys]

Dark lyrics from Ed? I love it!

[nicoletortoi]

BNL (L)

soy de Chile y... uno de mis sueños es ir a canadá a algún concierto =) porque dudo que vengan para acá... aunque estaría buenísimo!!!

un gran saludo

nicky :)

[nicoletortoi]

hi!!!!! i'm from Chile!.. .i love BNL :P

[VanCityKyle]

Great Job Ed.

Ed's Up!

[mattbradshawbatt]

Agree with arijitbasu! I LOVE this song but Break Your Heart is my favourite - it's 1 of the best tracks ever written!!

[BettaScream]

One of my fav BNL songs <3 Ed, you're awesome!

[arijitbasu]

Very good! Can you do 'Break Your Heart'? Thats my fave BNL song.

[peggles727]

That's a Steve song, this is Ed.

[kim78possible]

not only is he rediculousley talented.. he is mega good looking. which doesnt hurt

[tiptapstair]

Like i said it myself ;)

[Wanik]

I like this version so much better then the one on the album, your fantastic, keep it up!

[NotMeYet]

This is one my all time favorite songs of yours. Just brilliant!

[unaiaia]

This is my absolute favorite song. I need to see you live! When are you coming to Spain?

[laurenday5]

The video isn't working.... I miss out on everything ::sniff:: :(

[djtanner66]

he's actually soo good lol.

[d3b3p3]

one of my favorite love songs ever!

[Lychmo]

I just love this song so much <3

[anotherproudcanadian]

I love Ed Roberston! Well, I love all of the Barenaked Ladies! Ed makes me sooooo want to pick up my Martin Acoustic and one of my PRS electrics(he plays both plus more) Ed & Steven sound even better in their BR sessions, and from a musician (I play piano guitar,bass & sing), as well and a 'less than novice' sound engineer, I know that it's PURE talent(case lets face it, anyone can sound good in the studio - gotta love mastering LOL) ..You guys makes me sooooo proud to be a Canadian musician!

[straightedgexxx69]

damn strait

i play all the same instruments you do

but Canadians are better musicians

props

[wasabininjapants]

This sounds great!

[Kefka1995]

Please do a bathroom rendition of "Just a Toy!" It's one of my favorite songs and it's never played!

[normanozwald]

I've so gotta learn this song

It's like a song about every relationship I've ever been in ever.

I'm learning this and playing this all the time.

I love barenaked ladies!

I also love the band, Barenaked Ladies.

lol

Ed Robertson is my here.

[normanozwald]

Well not every relationship just after the relationships are over

[livinforjayflash]

It's a pretty easy song to learn, almost takes place entirley on fret 2 and 3

[rodstew2]

Fantastic!

[proudgonzo]

i love this one

[MarkFrankJPN]

I wanna take a dump in your bathroom!

[peggles727]

Dude, that's just nasty

[Lunairian]

Love this song alot, I got a great story out of this song, My band was playing a show with a couple others, 3 days before the show my girlfriend breaks up with me and the next day asks a guy out from another band thats playing with us. this guys band is on after us so right as they think we're about to leave the stage we come back on and start playing this, my ex is right in the front row and I just glare and smash my guitar(was meaning to get a new one anyway) practicaly in front of her face.

[normanozwald]

Dude that is an amazing story.

You are officially my new hero, man.

[thesithwithashotgun]

Perhaps I'm simply not getting the point. Why did you smash your guitar?

[Lunairian]

I'm a big supporter of smashing the guitar, Love Townshend, It was cool and it pissed her off. It basically satisfied the checklist.

[f0rkz]

Hope you guys come down to atlanta :( i have a autographed stunt cd from you guys, I need Are men and are me signed! :D

[Bluified]

Your bathroom has great acoustics! One of my favourites! Come back to the UK, I couldn't make it last time :'(

[geezabird]

That is one of my favourite BNL songs, and now it's a Bathroom Session. Thank you so much!

[platypuspirate]

why dont you make a CD of all these bathroom sessions?

[aerikson22]

One of my fav's from BNL!!!! And the video clips sound GREAT... good quality. I love ya'll! :)

[Myownhero18]

These are some of BNL's darkest lyrics but the song is flippin awesome. You rock Ed!

[egs1974]

Does anyone know if this track was played acoustically at all on the BLAM tour anywhere? Would be cool to download an acoustic version of it.

[sevinsue]

Wow, and that's my official comment for every one of these "session" songs. Thanks again, Ed, that WAS fun!

[iiambe]

I love this song. And I love this version. Thank you.

[yay4bnl]

This is friggin' amazing!  You amaze me, you really do. This is one of my favorite songs, and such a great version of it. For the 19th time, thanks for doing this. It's such a wonderful daily treat. :)

[rawthought]

This made my day.

[BryyMillerson]

One of my favorites. Thanks.

[AMHanson1]

Thank you for posting this!! My sister is going through a rough time of it now, and I'm forwarding this to her because it's going to either make her laugh or make her cry. Both of which she needs, so, um, thanks.

[cindylandy]

wonderful - thanks!

[xoxoCaliChickxoxo]

This is one of my favs. You rock! I'm so excited about ships and dip! I think it would be awesome.. if you could do my all time number one greatest fav ever though. These Apples! Keep rockin'.

[mark92577]

Thanks Ed, that was fun.

[phrogggy]

Thanks for doing your business in the bathroom for all to see!

[danbnl]

Yeah the music video for this one is one of my favorites.

[arewethereyet]

great song, great singing... BNL 4 LIFE

[spazdude]

Fantastic! The highlight of my day nowadays is rushing home to see any new developments in the bathroom.

[jwknov29]

you read my mind with each video you post...

[londonembers]

Yes please!

[Hall123456]

[londonembers]

[tsipaul]

I love the music video for this song, and this performance is just as good. Well done.

[CdnJessica]

One of my faves - thanks Ed!! Loving all of the bathroom sessions - keep them coming. You make me so proud to be CANADIAN!!

[jzancan]

yes, ed, i agree...that was very fun.

[egs1974]

That was, indeed, fun!

[par1sbear]

Ed, thanks for sharing, that was awesome. Nice to be the first to see it. The 'bathroom sessions' are great. I look forward to seeing many more. Patrick G.
