World Where You Live: Literal Video Version

[cheshirecatgrin93]

My mom and I are Crowded House fans and we don't like this video... We LOVE it!!!! can you make another Crowded House video? 

[MeiTow]

I noticed that after he flew away so we could see his red socks and came back to the other room, he no longer had red socks. LOL!

[poeticpoverty]

much more big?

obviously not an english major

[dascottjr]

@poeticpoverty "Me fail English? That's unpossible!" XD

[punkqueentheresa]

I love the video! Nice job on it! LOL!

[PrincessofDarkness79]

OMG I think I injured my stomach laughing at the beginning

[Jbear9]

You do these voices???

You're really something else! I had to watch this one twice and laughed just as hard the second time!

[liepinshtein]

I vow to incorporate the kick-spin into all of my dancing from here on in!

[burnwithme42]

TWILIGHT ZONE REFERENCE! Oh my gosh! Awesome!

[chasersbf]

holy shit that sounds like tim finn

[Fbiman93]

"Gonna howl, then a spin."

I love it!

This video should have a lot more views.

[OhElvira]

The voice sounds less strained in the acoustic one. Great song choice though, I wish Paul was still around.

[dascottjr]

@OhElvira True, I do sound better when I'm not recording in the wee hours of morning. I got a copy of Afterglow off ebay signed by Paul Hester, and I had it framed years ago. Very sad, though it did inspire the rest of the band to get back together....

[AngelVS20]

Random Cop!

[anarchangel23]

"Why's this book on its side?"

Because they're maps, so he's oriented North to the top...

[aquadonia]

"C'mon Neil, spin around. It's in your contract..." HAHAHAHA!!!

It's so cool that the guys saw it and liked it. That had to been awesome to hear that!

Hilarious work! Keep them coming!

[librarianbabe]

This is hysterical! And I'm a big Crowded House fan from way back.

I have to second the idea to do "I Write Sins Not Tragedies."

[freshflower4]

Great!

[javiermami]

hahahah that tickels LMAO what's with house..... lol

[Visjesteak]

OMG!!!

cool

[blunderboy100]

you know what i am going to say da you gotta do "i write sins not tragedies'' oh the possibilities and i think you can really pull it off

[SabrinaOchisor]

LOL twilight zone music XD

[fifiesponja07]

Gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl. xD

Awesome job like always!

[chimaerandi]

How can it be banned?? Parody is fair use!

All your vids are awesome, truly.

[bluevitriol]

Haha I love the original song, but you've done something pretty good and funny with it! And your voice is decent :) Good work!

[dascottjr]

@bluevitriol: Thank you! This video doesn't get as much love as the others, though it being banned in certain countries (like the Killers one) may have something to do with that. I'm glad you thought the voice was Neil enough. Some of the diehards thought not. :-P

[holla06]

omg PLEASE make one of "what is love"!!!! LMAOOOO

[dizzymisslizzylane]

Hahaha good one! My favourite of yours is Love Is a Battlefield but this comes a close second!

[tellysgonebung]

Hahaha...brilliant!! I thought this vid was just going to 'blaspheme' against my favourite Crowdies song and clip, but I can't stop laughing!

[aimalasplace]

One of my favorite 80's songs. You did a fantastic job. 5 stars!

[Morrisseys7thFriend]

Can I make a request? Peter Gabriel - Shock the Monkey

[imjustsomeguy72]

Yes, yes, YES!! I can only imagine how potentially hilarious that song would be.

[warlordsguild]

I find it annoying that this clip is censored due to 'copyright limits' where i live. Why is that anyway, isn't parody supposedly fair use?

[dascottjr]

How Rude!!! Just for that, I'm taking away three *more* minutes, Mister Meanypants. Now be quiet and do your homework, or I'll make it ten. Then you'll have to take Summer classes. :-P

[dam097]

funy

[kuapo]

Holy crap! You did a literal version of World where you live! LOL.

"Paul's shit-eating grin". :D

[MrPopsiclehead]

Come on Neal spin around Neal, It's in your contract Neal. XD!

[beaglehowl]

Well done!

[jackydoll123]

gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl...

Awesome. You should do more Australian/NZ bands for literal versions.

[unilooney]

1:40 "What the hell is it with all of these stupid edits?" ROTFL - always hated 'em. Awesome job!

[leanda27]

clever dick-spin around its in yr contract. hehehhe

[lexiandskyla4ever]

so they're IN a crowded house and THEIR NAME is crowded house?

[laman1214]

HA HA, TWILIGHT ZONE!!! lol

[shirtleneck]

I love this!

[GoGoldenhorse]

KIWI MUSIC ROCKS!

but your cover of it is pretty damn awesome too

[Carrie120505]

"C'mon Neil, spin around Neil. That's good." Nice.

[tarakeichan]

DUDE... BRIGHT RED SOCKS..... @.@

[amandadangit]

Ah how I miss the 80s.

[NeonSunset23]

rofl. u can do it neal spin around again lmao

[dascottjr]

I heard that Crowded House themselves have seen this video...maybe even liked it. Can anyone confirm this with quoted text?

[Noiseworker]

I know they're talking about it on the Frenz Forum (kinda official) but I haven't been able to find a direct quote. I'll keep my eyes and ears open!

[dascottjr]

My friend on the mailing list has an email that Peter Green (CH's PR manager) sent a fan in California:

"yeah I sent it to the guys about 3 or 4 months back- Nick loved especially.

P"

:-D

[cclear8050]

Nice.

[exacerbatedtaboo]

I can't fuckin stop laughing..That's some of the funniest shit I've ever heard.

[bendistraw]

I am a huge CH fan and this had me laughing until I cried! Ditto on the "Gonna hurl" thing - I'll never hear it the right way again.

[pookiewood]

LOL!

[brisvegasfinnfan]

Great ! Forever going to sing,

Gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl.

Thanks for that thought! ;o)

[cannibalisa]

Cheers for doing a CH video! "Paul's shit-eating grin" AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

[NickDanger3]

Well, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was funny.

[rjmdomingo]

I totally forgot about this weird Crowded House video...thanks for the memories

BTW...funny stuff...keep up the good work

[ijustdontcare]

"What's with that house? it's very small and it flew away" that beginning had me laughing so hard I think I broke my brain. Good friggin' job!!!

[happyendingpoe]

Thank you for doing this one. The other ones (like Total Eclipse and Anything for Love) have bigger laughs, but I have a soft spot for Crowded House.

[dascottjr]

Ditto. Wanted to get the fave bands in on the fun. Would've gone for one of their bigger hits, but this video had a little more potential. :-)

[BowieQueenSnape]

YAY. Crowded House. You know that they have done well when they make it into the literal video scene.

[Born2bRedeemed]

How do you do these? I want to do one of the Killers Read My Mind, already have the lyrics and everything.

[dascottjr]

Most times it's about finding a karaoke version, then doing a bit of tweaking to sync it up with the original. *Most* times. If you need some more guidance, PM me. I look forward to seeing your work.

[Born2bRedeemed]

Hey, thanks a lot. I'm actually a female, so it would be hard for me to overdub -- just sounds weird. Also, I don't have any high-tech equipment. How would I put the words on the screen?

[dascottjr]

Hi again! I used various Adobe programs to do my videos. PM me if you're curious about the nerdy technical stuff. What I did for the Meat Loaf video could take up a whole site on its own!

BTW, I've never heard the Killers before now, and upon first listen(s), I like the song. The video's nice, too. Oh, and I found an official instrumental version of the song. Would you like me to sing on your video? I'll edit the whole thing, and even help you upload it to your site.

PM me if interested!!! :-)

[thekhai]

gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl, gonna hurl.....

[nokola93]

Hilarious. I think it would be funny to have a literal version of 'Something So Strong' or 'Now We're Getting Somewhere'!

I have to watch this twice a day. it is hilarious!!

[Glamrockateer]

what band is this? i don't even know :P

[dascottjr]

Crowded House. Cheers!

[BowieQueenSnape]

They are an "Australian" band, but the lead singer Neil Finn is an New Zealander from Te Awamutu in Waikato. They were big over in NZ in the 80's. And he is even looking at NZ in his map book :D Good job. It was excellent.

[marvelboy74]

I was read how someone described Neil as the Paul McCartney of the Southern Hemisphere. Not disagreeing, mind you.

[Noiseworker]

Quite accurate, really.

[Whicol2]

haha! Great!

MORE LITERAL VIDEOS!!

you have the best ones on youtube. There's plenty of imitators out there, but they sound like dumb kids....yours are FUNNY!

[MuzzikLvr]

OMG this is awesome!!!!! Off to watch more literal videos.

[ebz92]

LOL! love this song... haha this is great!

[smileyguy21]

[groteage]

Now watch me do a spin kick....... LMAO LMAO LMAO

[quietdiplomacy]

great job, really funny ;)

[operagirl81]

That was awesome! I love literal videos! Plz make more!! :-))

[dorcik93]

That's just awesome ;)) Great job! xD One question: How did you find karaoke version of World Where You Live?
