Regina Spektor - Sailor Song

[NintendoLurv]

regina <3

[Ryagan]

This songs makes me wish I knew a girl named Mariane...

[XxMikoSamaxX]

I sometimes sing it as "Mary Ann's a bitch" while I'm packing a bowl :)

[alicepotter777]

so you know the book and movie 'the help'? well i think hilly holbrook should have been named mariane. just saw it today, ive never cried so much in my life. loved the book.

[lightninbub]

In the fourth pic she reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

[dissonantsonorant]

So I learned about Regina Spektor via a good friend of mine doing a cover of this song at an open mic. And she and Regina could seriously be voice twins.

[looveandrocklets]

Don't mess up with Regina, or she will tell the world you are a bitch

[kitty78961]

Today in my music class, our teacher had us sing our favourite lyric from our favourite song. And I chose this.. lol a really bitchy girl in our class is named Maryann too! lol Regina never ceases to amaze me with ther pshycicness

[ilovelibertyTYC]

I know a girl named Alyssa who's a bitch. Close. Enough.

[ilovepurplemore]

I LOVE HER AND HER VOICE THEY ARE BOTH SO PRETTY!!!!!!! <3

[mohbabe]

my name is Maryann... :(

[CaliforniaStrokesFan]

I named my fish Marianne so I could sing "Marianne's a fish, Marianne's a fish"

[muscanboy123]

@CaliforniaStrokesFan Thats, really funny! I'm laughing out loud :D

Thanks for making my evening

[forthesting]

@CaliforniaStrokesFan hahaha

[Katiekat2522]

I actually know a girl called Mary-Ann and yes, she is a bitch.

[MrBlueChalk]

REgina SPEKTor, RESPEKT :)

[stophatinlol135]

Maryanne is a bitch. Thanks for the heads girl ;D

[alicepotter777]

ha at 0:27 "all the sailor boys have demons" and regina is praying:)

[9hoppybunny]

i'm not sure but.. i think maryanne might be a bitch

[jailbaitvids]

when i'm old enough i'm gonna marry her - i just got eighteen.

[peachylove1706]

"Shheeeeeeeeeee.." So good. This is my tub bathing theme song. With rubber duckies I call Mary Ann.

[craiasanoptii]

@peachylove1706 What an inspiration! Guess what I am going to do next!

[oneofakindblonde236]

regina your my hero!!!

[MarianneSwain]

My name is Marianne and i watched this after i'd done somethin bad, helped my to go and apologise!! Love regina <3

[xanfus]

@MarianneSwain lmao!

[Gracelovestodance]

Oh my goodness it wouuld sooo terribly cool if I had dressed up as Regina for Halloween. xD

[SmotPoker09]

ReSpekt !

[cynopt]

Okay, I just realized that "we quietly huddle with our missiles as we miss the girls back home" could be a reference to masturbation. Or was this completely obvious and I'm just really fucking slow?

[TheGoodNames]

@cynopt Woah I never thought about that. I couldn't imagine Regina singing about that but who knows, haha.

[MikuMikuDanceMode]

@cynopt I just realized that, too! xD

[rustandstardust]

@cynopt This is the same woman who wrote a love song to pickles. I'm sure the reference was entirely intentional.

[alicepotter777]

@rustandstardust dude i know:) someone got a tattoo of the pickle lyrics on their arm.

[DCrissKLutz]

i'm in love with all her songs.

[izy12345678910]

@CharzWarz That is a very true realization. Be that as it may, we don't really care if its purposeless or moronic. I'm not speaking for everyone but, we just want to pass the time. We do this for exactly the same reason why people go into chat rooms or forums. But thanks for sharing. We appreciate it.

[izy12345678910]

LOL REginaSPEKTor

[peaceoverall]

I'm a guy and I would gladly have her kids.

[syncingtitanic]

I absolutely love this! I absolutely love HER

[craiasanoptii]

I think Marianne's a bitch

[Forthew0lf]

Dont piss of Regina, or she'll tell the world your bitch

[Gracelovestodance]

Marianne is supposed to be the sea, right?? (:

[Lilyfloss]

I love playing this on piano

[mzsammi111]

our anger couldn't reach the bottom of a bathtub ?

[alpharusset]

@mzsammi111

nuh uh.

Our anchor couldn't reach the bottom of a bathtub.

But I guess with Regina Spektor lyrics, it doesn't really matter,

her lyrics are so wild, she probably doesn't even know what she meant.

[Lilyfloss]

@mzsammi111 anchor :)

[ColdRiceBall]

Regina is so sweet! If she even says Marianne is a b!tch, she must be one. LOL

[StormySky7]

I'm sure Marianne was excessively flattered when she heard this song.

[xJacho11x]

Stop watching this video kasey, it sucks.

[NokDwai]

@xJacho11x Shut up mikey, i know you secretly like her.

[ThoughtsofBradington]

she should make a video for this song

[mimsimmo]

I'm the pictures for this :P 

[knapsuck]

love this but then most of her music is amazing

[coldplaying776]

i know a girl named brianne who is a bitch. close enough.

[xanfus]

@coldplaying776 my buddy's ex-wife has the same name. definitely close enough!

[CometxNova]

@coldplaying776 And I know a girl named Roxanne is a bitch!

[whoisdewey]

They should name a hurricane Marianne, I would sing this song when it comes to my house :]

[desekoro]

Hey. as far as I know.. Marianne is a bitch and her disregard for Regina costs her constant discomfort.

[Archidi1996]

when she says marianne, she means the ocean or some large body of water :P, basically she's saying the oceans a bitch

(just in case you didn't already know)

[smishofgaal]

@Archidi1996 Actually, the name of the boat they're sailing in is Marianne. :P

(just in case you didn't already know ;) )

[coheed4ever22]

my best friend Marianne's contact ringtone is this on my phone :3

[stroeiulia1]

i don`t care..if Regina says she`s bitch..she`s a bitch...

[emoningamonkeys]

my sisters name is marianne and she is a Bitch.

[imperfecterthanu]

Wen she says marrianne I don't think marrianne is a person.

[gina0is0awesome]

First time i heard this song was when I got fired by my manager name Mary Ann. XD Regina, you always read my mind. <3

[victorio161989]

i lke all the things in this song and marrianne in the true Mariana IS A BITCH!

[OAIXproChrist19]

I don't know if it's about a ship -- ROS Regina Maria (F222), or maybe 'Mary

Anne' is Regina....She calls herself a bitch? This song is weird, because I don't understand anyhow the melody is beautiful.... ;)

[chelswildflr]

It's spelled Mary Ann, guys!

[NakedInTheForest]

My boss at work is named MaryAnn. Pardon my language but she is the epitome of someone I would call the "c" word (woman here, btw). I always just sing this song in my head at work, it makes me giggle. And giggling is a lot better then punching my boss in the face. lol.

[kittwashere]

Soooo my stepmom's name is Mary Ann. Different spelling but pronounced the same. Guess what I like listening to ^^.

[sarasoosy]

i would definetly hate to be this " marianne" hahaHA.. wow. i wonder what she did..??

[emoningamonkeys]

whoever dislikes this song isn't mature enough for Regina. i have been listenig to her since i was 6. she is my idol i have simply loved her my whole life.

[iScreamShadow]

@emoningamonkeys lmao haha yeah i agree with you! but maybe the people that disliked it has the name of "Marianne" ^__^

oh how i love Regina <3

[AnthonyMinsky]

@emoningamonkeys Good way to put it. It does take a certain level of maturity to really like her. Not just a song here and there, but to realize what she really is for music with her whole catalog. And then when you start to get it, your love grows and you want to listen to everything she does and it all turns in to a great big obsession and her music latches on to you like a mother! :) Sad, but true. Not sad though. Wonderful really. :)

[ejmbacca]

I love this song and I love her :)

[deka360]

About gilligans island, fools.

[waya7111]

Ahhh I wish I could do my dance solo to this!

[layniebirdlu]

when i grow up, i want to be regina spektor :)

how cool would that be???

[craiasanoptii]

such a fun song

[WillShakespeare2007]

I had to check the lyrics of this as i thought it might be an anti French song. I still don't understand what it is about but it isn't about that.

[chicasrule434]

Mackenzi Lee Ann's a bitch! lol, wrong name, whoops!

[kiwicowgirl95]

@chicasrule434 Hahaha! nice!!! =)

[bill11097]

0:24 beautiful face :)

[kapillie]

i was feelin really shitty tonight until i listened to this, her face alone will always brighten up my days

[ImCharlieHi]

@MenOnBirthControl

Well I like it and i'm straight..

[somedaysoon95]

0:23 is my favorite=]=]

[NerdetteTheNinjette]

the "mariannes a bitch" part made my night LOL

[DaNIELA9506]

can somebody explain me what does this song means? plis and thanks

[xxcookiemonster82xx]

@DaNIELA9506 I heard Mary Ann is the ocean the sailor boy left her for, not a girl. :)

[DaNIELA9506]

@xxcookiemonster82xx thanks :D

[VivianTheMitchell]

"She will kiss you 'til your lips bleed, but she will not take her dress off..."

[xanfus]

@VivianTheMitchell she IS a bitch!

[kitkattjam]

Mary Ann is my boss's name and because of that, this song makes me happy.

[Triqqerz]

LOL!! at Mariannes a BITCH part

[Charwarz]

Why are there always arguments on youtube regardless of how good the song is? Can't you just listen to it without thinking "zomg this is so simbolic" then start an argument with someone else who thinks it's different to what you think it is? At the end of the day, arguing online is stupid and pointless.

[kiwicowgirl95]

My favorite part is the chorus lol!!! =)

[jailene7784]

you vent Regina, VENT!



[vernedudeman]

I need Regina to marry me.

[EdwardTheBooble]

You guys are totally putting all this symbolism in it when Marianne's just a tease to the sailors when they come to land and takes them up the garden path and Regina is just like getting all that sleezyness and juxtaposing it with some strangly dulce chords

[purpledevilducky]

MARIANNE'S A BITCH!

[jamensenthebutler]

@mitcar14 @smutst @ScarletDavies Really, guys, you're fighting. Think how Miss Spektor would feel if she saw this. She might cry, and then I would cry because she is simply adorable. Now apologize to each other.

[ScarletDavies]

@jamensenthebutler I'm not fighting :) I just honestly want to know what people have against swearing. Honestly swear words are simply noises and I think that we all know Regina is unafraid of experimenting with any noise (and somehow she makes them all beautiful). And I just want to say that you are so right. She is adorable.

[smutst]

@nicodemous52 My favourite part of this particular song*, if you're gonna be fastidious.

[MsGummybear8]

techinacally it's not swearing.....

[smutst]

@mitcar14 The swearing is the best bit.

[nicodemous52]

@smutst Better than the music? Better than the singing? Really? That is simply ignorant...

[mitcar14]

I absolutely love Regina's music, but this swearing is a suprising letdown.

[TheWhisperingWaves]

@mitcar14 u think this is pretty bad, bobbin for apples is just as bad, even worse.

[ScarletDavies]

@mitcar14 What's wrong with swearing? Please reply, I'd love to know :)

[sabbathmcfreely]

@mitcar14 i think it's absolutely an integral part of the song. not only is there no, non-swear-y word in the english language that means precisely what "bitch" does, it fits with the sailor theme. i mean, what sailor doesn't swear fluently?

[xanfus]

my girlfriend!  my wife approves!..... kinda

[LeadingWomenStudios]

Juuust saying .. Mary Anne is a boat >.>

[qbone20]

Haven't heard this song for two years. Oh the memories, I've missed you sailor song.

[TheBANDSIZATION]

@qbone20 how sad two years!what kind of music have you been listening to..?

[jubeonfire]

I would love to get a hold of this woman's note book. 

[quandrax]

14 people had mothers named Marianne.

[RockabillyKathy]

My friend at school got me into Regina, she sang this really well. I got her into 'Cabaret' though, so fair exchange :) miss you Kat

[thelaughingman79]

i wish i knew i marry ann to play this song to lol

[lp42884life]

This song is awesome... and so are some of these comments. Those reactions to that ipor-troll almost made me wet myself. However... continue on Regina my queen.

[PutridPeacock]

I know a Marianne, she is a mega-bitch. I'm glad to see Regina feels the same way :D

[RockabillyKathy]

@PutridPeacock lol XD 

[DanteJoeAngelus1]

Does it matter that our anchors couldn't even reach the bottom of a bath tub? Wonderful!

[ak123456p]

PEOPLE. Responding to a troll is just as pointless and stupid as the trolls who post the comments. All you're doing is filling up the comment with double the stupidity. Stop it.

[marydoll0115]

My name's Mary-Anne...& I love this song! :D

[xoLicibbyox]

Well, I guess that Marianne is a bitch.

[pRettygiRl408]

i know a girl named marianne...and she is a bitch.

regina knows whats up!

[elliecoffey]

@pRettygiRl408 Haha, this made me laugh!

[srotagfu1]

@pRettygiRl408 Funny Stuff!

[alwayznforevah]

Whoaa. Regina Spektor makes curse words sound divine.((:

[iporsborg]

This artist completely sucks ass. I could go the rest of my life with never hearing her bullshit attempt to be creative. She is just plain annoying. WIth any luck she will stop making music forever or at least lose her voice for awhile.

[hateboardlove]

@iporsborg well with any luck, i hope you loose your hands so you can't call another fine piece of music "bullshit". if you were actually a smart person, you would already know music is entirely relative, and whether or not you think it's creative actually doesn't make it so. this is my first time hearing it and i'm not crazy about it but it's abviously creative.. your stupidty is just plain annoying.

[madivictoria]

@iporsborg you should probably go posting where your opinions are actually cared for.

[treehugger873]

@iporsborg ...go to hell...NOW !

[existingeric]

@iporsborg With any luck you'll get flattened by a train.. xo

[MyukiSiyoOfficial]

@iporsborg ok, I'll approach this two ways

1) SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU COCK SUCKING FAGOT WHO CLIMBED UP FROM HELL! JUMP OFF A CLIFF, YOU BEIBER FAG!

2) Ok, is there any reason why you do not like her? As I can tell your brain isn't processing the talent and brilliantness that Regina possesses. Her lyrics aren't as simple as they are spoken, as they contain meaning, as a story does. Your a pretty ungrateful nobody if you wish that harshly against an artist, and I hope you watch your tongue.

1 FTW!!

[topendoodle]

@MyukiSiyoOfficial Watch the homophobic slurs, please. Totally uncalled for.

[sabbathmcfreely]

@MyukiSiyoOfficial i'll just reiterate the distinct irritatingness of the homophobic slurs. also, i'd like to point out that "beiber" is neither a person nor a thing. "bieber", however, is an irritating canadian singer. this is just to help you with your insults and all, as i totally understand the sentiment. i mean, iporsborg is obviously a pox-ridden, trout-mouthed WENCH. and guess who else is a wench of that very sort? mary ann.

[OAIXproChrist19]

@iporsborg are you mary anne? haha

[appleh26]

@iporsborg It's finally nice to meet you, Marianne. Regina WAS right

[SequinedBag]

My name is Marianne, but I still love Regina XD

[winkywalo]

who is this mary anne....she is a song title, and now she is in here hmm...

[lalasong140]

it sounds like marry anne from the porcupine song....

[HNUFAR]

well i guess this is a bit hard to understand.

what i ment is:

she is presenting the dilemma each sailor is facing:

the will to come back home Vs. the will to stay in the sea.

she simulate those desires to the strongest love of all - a womans love.

[HNUFAR]

at the first paragraph she is personifying the sea and comparing it to their home, which is also personifyed. it speaks about the sailors , the sea is like a woman to them. they're in love with it, yet it hurts them so much.

the first lines in the second paragraph talks about how unstable the sailors were to choose this job.

the love to the sea Vs. the love towards home. and how much those 2 loves are similar.

sorry about the poor english . ;)

[matacoz]

This song makes me think of WW II era sailors, and the tough life they had on their ships (Maryanne.)

[mrssoftball678]

haha idk how i havent heard this song b4 but when she kept saying marianne is a bitch i couldnt stop lauging

[soluu9]

13 people are called Maryanne and felt offended.

[thumbalinaaaaax]

she's singing about the ocean.

[Johannus12]

Anyone think it might be the name of a ship?

[MAFPLU]

MARRYANNE'S A BITCH?

I MEAN NO SENSE

BUT WHATEVER SHE SINGS

SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL

[TheAutumnDirector]

Regina, I have a question: What did Mary Ann ever do to you?

Every song "Mary Ann's a bitch, Mary Ann's a bitch..." XD

[YoMeLlamoLaura]

It's not Marianne, it's Mary Ann, she uses that name often... the song Mary Ann, or Mary Ann meets the gravediggers and other short stories, it's a compilation album :)

[faerietaledreams]

I've listened to this 7 times in a row and I'm not tired of it yet! Its amazing♥

[MarianneWarrrd]

Your a bitch. My name is Marianne.. :L

[TotalAlias]

@MarianneWarrrd Heck no, she's not. She's singing about Mary Ann anyway (:

[kiwicowgirl95]

@MarianneWarrrd Well, you're mistaken 'cos she's talking about Mary Ann, not you Marianne!!! =)

[yolo1998]

<3

[spearmintythang]

who wants to bet that she got mad and sat and the piano and just started playing chords going "Marianne's a bitch Marianne's a bitch" Hahaha that's how I would've done it

[xSazzyDeppx]

I love you Regina!!

[jessicolombis]

lol first time hearing this song and i did not expect the "femalde dog" lol

[BreatheRadio]

...

I am seriously considering naming my child Maryanne.

[SmotPoker09]

@BreatheRadio

what about... "Regina"  ?? :P

[gustractor]

is kind of strange, but the thing is tha i really dont like this kind of music

also cuz is a music that is realli slow

but i can say that u r the exception

lso i can really say or in this case writte that u r georgeus

[ItsMaryanneDude]

my names maryanne :)

[IENVEYYOUimvu]

@ItsMaryanneDude

YOU BITCH!

Kidding, I'm sure you're awesome :)

Regina forever <3

[bradleysmith11]

Today feels like a Regina Spektor day... hmm.. :D

[yourmomlovesefron]

@bradleysmith11 every days a Regina Spektor day!

[AnGeLBaYbEi187]

MARRYANNES A BITCH LUL

[psychedelity]

gad, my mums name is maryann O.o

must not let her hear this xD

[cynopt]

I always assumed she was using Maryanne as a personification of the ocean, since the name Mary means "bitter sea". And it definitely makes sense for a song about sailors to talk about how hard it is on them to be out at sea for a long time.

[CakeFace579]

@cynopt Yeah I always assumed she meant either a ship or the ocean is a bitch and not an actual person.

@
