[keeperofthefunk89]

@houstongrantham

all caps? you mad bro? "Ain't got no" means you do have whatever it is your talking about. Grammar up.

[forgotagain00]

i would be funny to send this singagram to your exgirlfriend that hates your guts wonder what her boyfriend would say

[666AMC666]

oh and i had to say this, the 23 dislikes, 23 people are obviously hetro sexual males who are too embarrassed to admit Arthur is freakin sexy as hell

[666AMC666]

they played this when i was at Kmart last weekend, I almost screamed, " FINALLY REAL MUSIC THAT DOESN'T SUCK!

[KnightsLadySephina13]

ohhhh the 90's.........lol

[TheSillygoose101]

I would do anything to live in the 90s

[keeperofthefunk89]

We didn't do Christmas we're Buddhist. BTW it's not about the things in your life it's about the people in your life right?

[houstongrantham]

@keeperofthefunk89 THE JOY OF A WELFARE CHRISTMAS YOU AIN T GOT NO GIFTS ITS JUST THE JOY OF HAVING YOUR FAMILY

[MrJustinbama]

man i was so strung out when i was rockin this stuff.its much better now that i can fully remember everything

[foxgrl009]

on my saddest darkest times everclear reminds of great memorys

[jEtSforLiFeDoG]

@foxgrl009 too true

[fastestguninthewest]

Penn Jillette on the accordion, ladies and gentleman.

[ANOTHA1BITESDADUST]

the songer has the same birthday as me <3

[rozeem6]

My band opened for them last night! They were all wicked nice guys!

[smashinova]

Youtube is the ultimate music video request show

[stevenations1]

That chick looks like Denise Richards.

[TexasGal322]

From music videos to soap operas!

[stompforlove]

at 3:40 she looks like a cat.... ready to pounce.

[cmpunkfan14]

[JackinForMaltLiquor]

[joerossu]

[BabaDabaDooskee]

[c9castine]

[benjaminfreshner]

When this song plays titties start showing.

[laltjag]

so i just made a bullshit name :) this song is amazing make me feel old as fuck <3

[Talixir]

make this band vampires in a (good) vampire movie

[StephanieP3]

This has to be one of the best songs from the 90s! It was the 90's right? :P

[disasterVoiceNZ]

I'm sort of surprised Vevo owns songs this old. But Art Alexakis lived a shitty life growing up. He deserves anything he gets. I hope he's rich as hell.

[winnipegjetsforever1]

VICTORIA FROM THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

[pidgenre]

Ah, Everclear totally makes my day better.

[Ratstar85]

@pidgenre its always will :)

[TheMissyLady3]

@pidgenre Couldn't agree more! They are like my forever security blanket :)

[thesarahdemorest]

I love how happy Art looks, even though what he is singing about sucks. I know the "joy" of a welfare Christmas :P

[trixiekaii]

i want my bf to sing this to me. everyday.

[lilnay543]

love this song forever

[robair9911]

"they have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas" - such a good line

[stjo555555]

blast from the past!!!

[elleisafreak]

I will buy you NINE lives.

[fauxpromises]

Great song but in a way makes me want to lay down and go to sleep for a long time... ;(

[tvfilm]

I totally forgot how good Everclear was/is. Pretty catchy rifts like in 0:44.

[destructoidreaper3]

come back to hawaii someday missed all their shows

[393coupe]

Welfare Christmas suck! I've had more than my fair share of them growing up as a kid.

[blindtothesound]

@393coupe Sucks bro... Hope everything is good now :)

[393coupe]

@blindtothesound Things are tough right now in this screwed up economy but still far better than they ever were when I was a kid growing up. Like the old saying goes....... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

[blindtothesound]

@393coupe So true... 

[stephanieS3420]

okay he seems like a creeper in this video hahah

[bert872]

@stephanieS3420 yeah he looks like a baby toucher

[bcage44]

...they never had the joy of a welfare Christmas...

[lagunabeachcaliforni]

she is in young and restless

[SaintPatrick1985]

:P

[lilleesummers]

[silentyeh]

Apolo Ohno?

[Kiya4ever]

The bassist has a nice smile :]

[vegedock]

Those are some pretty nice suits for having no money. :) This is a great song.

[Jess712712712]

@vegedock yeah and her $2,000 dress

[BigRuudy]

Remember the 90s when everyone used to dye their hair?

[seabearize]

@RetroForMe hehe heinie....

[moderndayknight54]

I'm only here because of Mitchell Davis

[Psycho1nsane]

thumbs up if you heard this on "Loser".

[blowfishintheflesh]

@Psycho1nsane thumbs up if you heard this on the radio in like 96'

[7the7Seven7]

What is Time-O-Sphere?

[winnipegjetsforever1]

victoria newman is in this video

[cohcamluvr]

/sigh if only...

[maranello55]

this song is a lil bit creepy

[countryshmountry]

@maranello55 Uggh.. seriously girls, enough with the "creepy" shit!!

[rolandoflowers]

great song his actually singing from his heart :)

[LitlePersonIsBig]

Great song. I can't stop to listening this

[1babygirl2011]

love this song

[Emstarbuck]

They're occupying her lawn!!

[christak3363]

90s music is the BEST

[christak3363]

everclear kicks ass

[EckoWebDesigns]

I actually live in the West Hills of Portland Oregon he sings about.

[TheAziatic1]

@EckoWebDesigns then theres really no point of you listening to this song now is there?

[residentevilmegaphan]

@EckoWebDesigns west hills los angeles california doofus



[EckoWebDesigns]

@residentevilmegaphan Actually the "West Hills" he mentions in the song is about the West Hill of Portland Oregon. This being the more affluent area of Portland. Being that the majority of the band themselves are from Portland, the group formed here, still live in Portland and the mentioning can be found if you run a quick Google search. Doofus indeed

[Jess712712712]

@EckoWebDesigns really ??? disect a little more please....

[eggrack]

i miss everclear. i miss the 90's.

[FooKingCool]

Haha... The dislike bar looks like Justin Beiber's penis.

[HJRWproductionz]

18 people couldnt buy her anything

[thrashfan17]

I love his voice but Art's face is the definition of doobag.

[adudecalledjordan]

probably only decent post-grunge band out there



[TheSuperPedo7]

moral of the story ... buy out girls :p

[guiaalix]

i will buy you.........

[Jackd91]

They really need to work on what ads go with what videos. No one who listens to Everclear would dare listen to Demi Lovato...

[beatlezrawesome]

@Jackd91 Yeah they could make these ads alot more efficent. If it was an ad for like a nirvana box set i MIGHT actually click on it!

[erinGAGA1]

The girl in this video kinda looks like Denise Richards..

[meanasmycat]

I miss the 90's :(

[MrDufau7]

i had plenty of welfare chrismases. its pretty sad. you clean old stuff and tell your friends thats what you got. but something i got and i still have is love. now i see the big picture.

[Playdohisedible]

@MrDufau7 you definitely learn to realize that there are people worse off then you were when you get older, i know what you mean

[badgernation74]

I always go listen to Barenaked Ladies "If I Had a Million Dollars" after this.

[rlipetri]

After 200 fans the rising band Eat The Dog will release a new song for free streaming on facebook and reverbnation. Support the comeback of music with feeling, musicianship, and originality by checking out their page and becoming a fan!

[wonderwall135]

are these guys still around?

[Davidsternsucks]

Excellent song and video. Music was so good in the 1990s. This song is so true about these days. So many people are struggling right now. And yes, it's true. Rich people have no idea what it's like being poor til they live it. And poor people are looked down upon and viewed as less in American society. It's sad but very true. We judge each other on how much we have.

[AccursedBiscuit]

Everytime I hear the chorus I think of my mom. I wish I could buy her a happy life

[TheseBonesLiquify]

@AccursedBiscuit Man, me too. She gives me so much, but i'm not able to give her anything but my love. Least not right now. But when i'm older and successful, i'll give her anything she wants. She fucking deserves it.

[AccursedBiscuit]

@TheseBonesLiquify Amen, brother

[TheseBonesLiquify]

@AccursedBiscuit Girl, but totally. <3

[AccursedBiscuit]

@TheseBonesLiquify My bad. Amen, sister :D

[thomdownwood]

@TheseBonesLiquify Yeah man, she deserves fuck.

[TheseBonesLiquify]

@thomdownwood I'm a chick for one; two, screw off.

[ThePigFacedDog]

He's a fuckin tard...Ignore him, yeah?

[MrDufau7]

people might think he is exaggerating. as a hispanic I know exactly whats he is talking about.

[goldensloth7]

More effective than holding a boombox over your head outside her window!

[RetroForMe]

amelia heinle is so pretty in this.

[DieHarderAgain]

@RetroForMe agreed she is so hot!

[TheWaterwoman2]

LOVE THIS SONG YEAH!



[playgurl4dayear]

ive been looking for this band for a minute

[kerrykostas]

Amazing record..

[14ALLiWANT76]

That columbiana looks more like an african

[tonkahoosier]

@14ALLiWANT76 HAAAAAAAAHAHA. Thank you! Someone finally said something.

[14ALLiWANT76]

@tonkahoosier we r all so sick of these adds ...like they have any effect on me.... I can choose from anything in the world

[dizzotizzo]

I partied w/Art in the VIP lounge at a strip bar in 1997. Good times!!

[kissuco]

she´s openend the door, it work´s!!!!

[WlSEGUY]

great song, great band, but whats up with the suits?

[LoverOfMusic120]

I should be studing for a test. This is an amazing song!!

[anotherbrickinthebox]

I love how this song is about love and not money.

[ApollosPythia]

Christmas just makes people mad and feel bad. December is the worst month of the American year because of it. I thought about being a Jehova's Witness just to avoid it. That's what this song makes me think about...

[DieHarderAgain]

@ApollosPythia only because you let it.

[DieHarderAgain]

how do katy perry and rebeca black have more veiws than this?

[MusicAllBlog]

OST OF FINAL DESTINATION 5!!!!

[caitlinisreggaegirl]

i love this song so much, reminds me of my life

[Yokita6669]

I am not poor, but like the song-so what?

[angelspscs]

adoroooooooooooo!!!!!!!! maravilhosos!!!!!!!!!

[FPSinger]

This song is ageless.

[Obsessive0514]

The "West Hills" refers to an area of Portland. I love it. This song was all over the place when I was little. My mind was BLOWN when I learned that.

[nujabes7]

@Obsessive0514 hahaha cool man

[greatscott1984]

Reminds me of being 14 and seeing this on MTV. You know when they actually showed music videos on MTV? Good times. God, I miss the '90s.

[iminlovewithmybebe]

stop reading the comments and look at the video, geez

[unbornhero90]

i get everything except the part where he says "can you believe he actually thinks that i am really alive"... so.. he's a rich ghost??

[dbiv84]

@unbornhero90 He's split up and living with a friend, everything to the man that matters to him is gone etc. his wife and baby. He is trying to say that his roommate thinks he alive but inside theres nothing left.

[huskiepride1206]

i kinda like to think this song is about a girl who is to worried about being wit a guy who has money even if she doesnt make her happy and Art is telling her he will give her everything she needs and love her more than the other rich guys who dont really love her

[huskiepride1206]

@dbiv84 dude calm down im just saying the way i want to interpret the song.. isnt that the point of art or a good song? so it has different meaning to different individuals? there is no right answer really.. get off ur high horse

[kenzadelphia]

@huskiepride1206 except you then miss the entire point, and power of the song. Everclear, never the most original musically, excel and connect because of storytelling ability. This song is about the pipe dreams of poverty. This guy will never buy her a Big Mac he just wants to get in her pants and feel good about himself.

[workthatwedo13]

@kenzadelphia although i disagree, i must say your perspective is certainly interesting

love

[huskiepride1206]

@kenzadelphia k so ur saying that for everybody songs have to mean a specific thing and they cant have an original thought or have a different feelings bout the songs and how it makes them feel? art isnt supposed to be black and white and right or wrong so if i like the song but i connect wit it on a different level how is it hurting u??

[EZmoneh]

Strange how its always the mans fault. Ive seen my father struggle, to provide for what my mother wanted, then struggle to provide for the family. Ive heard my mother call him pathetic and selfish, but ive never seen that in my father.Yet the world only has sympathy for the women.

[babydee0702]

anyone else think their guitar player looks like justin long?

[SwiftingRabbit]

MY SPEAKERS JUST DON'T GO LOUD ENOUGH FOR THIS SONG UGH

[Atusid]

@SwiftingRabbit Download audacity. Download this file (flv2mp4 dot com). Throw the mp3 file into audacity. Crank up the Db setting. ???. Rock out.

[dionstap]

@SwiftingRabbit get a headset and blast it right into your ears! great song!

[TheNaziFable]

422,017 How come its only showing MY views?

[j0hnst3r]

i live in the west hills <3 i feel good that they mentioned that area.

[sp3ncerr]

Who is going to see Everclear at Jack's Sixth Show?!!? I AM! :D

[stonerslaugh74]

I will buy you that big house way up in the west hills.....I will buy you a new life--It's simply and enjoyable...simply enjoyable :)

[Matticusd1]

Bass player look like Keanu Reeves at 1:34 ?

[TheFUcker1221]

17 peoples are retard

[VickiLeeMurray]

The girl in the video plays on my soap opera. Some one told me to watch this video since she was in it. I'm really glad I did. Love this song. I keep hearing it on the radio now, lol.

[gaarafanslovecookies]

@VickiLeeMurray victoria is cheating on billy again.. this time with everclear?

[rileydd08]

@VickiLeeMurray what sope?

[gaarafanslovecookies]

@rileydd08 the young and the restless



[EasyExpertVillage]

like this if you only know this song from blast from the past. awesome movie. makes me wish i lived with my mom and dad underground. JK.

[SerenitYbass]

this song reminds me of my dad. kinda makes me feel sorry for him, but not that much

[tiredOFporn]

17 people are too poor to watch the whole video without their dial up fucking up

[JTyler8269]

@tiredOFporn lawl

[ChantyDqueen]

I know today only GOD can give me a new life ....Tru <3

[swaggerandstuff]

@ChantyDqueen lol

[Dylanr82]

@ChantyDqueen No way, maybe he can help but you need to grasp that new life for yourself if you really want it, because no one will do it for you..

[ChantyDqueen]

@Dylanr82 you must not be christian because you dont seem to understand - in christ we are born again

yes, we chose our path - but only with him will it be new life

[ashesfallx]

16 people can't afford a new life

[elizabethsmith81]

this is a great song

[SilverSlasher221]

this song speaks for all us good hardworking ppl tht gotta work to feed our family, u well off kids with parents shld realise that life will bite u in the ass when u move out, take it from someone with experience :)

[bagelbites100]

I love this song. It has a lot more meaning now that I'm an adult and struggling to make ends meet after college. You really don't understand how much it sucks to be poor until you live it.

He wrote this song before the band got big when he and his wife would drive around the rich suburbs of Orange County imagining a better life.

[Jonesy6790]

@bagelbites100 Hes talking about Portland, not Orange County.

[TheMandaJohnson]

@bagelbites100 I thought they were from Portland, Oregon. He mentions the West Hills a few times, which is an area in Portland where a lot of rich people live.

[bagelbites100]

@TheMandaJohnson yeah you guys are right; it's Portland. I guess he sings about California a lot so I got the location mixed up.

[TheAziatic1]

@bagelbites100 if you went to college you were never truly poor

[Unregenerate]

@TheAziatic1 Too right you are.
