wow, the beginning is so spooky when she says "its getting hard to breathe." i love this song so much...its really scary and sad, but funny and nice. i love you regina!
i dont quite understand the video is she trying to kill herself so she can join her dad in heaven or sometin like that? i luv the song anyway! but PLZ can some one explain it to me??
She is beggin her father to kill them both with Carbon Monoxid, which is coming out of the car, if the Car Gas came into the car (I hope you understand, what I mean :-))
There is a word-play in the and: She says "daddy", and if you listen is "deada deada" = Death, death."
This is not an official version,it is a video she made with adria petty for the survival guide to soviet kitsch , it is a special edition with DVD, it fucking rox
Ahh! I never knew there was an official video for this song, and it's my favorite song! Carbon Monoxide was the first Regina Spektor song I ever heard :)
I'm Russian and just cause people were wondering... she says: "тут становится трудно дъшать" and I'm sorry, I can hardly write in Russian, though I understand it perfectly. I really enjoy when she sings little bits of her songs in Russian, like in 8th Floor and Apres Moi and here too. Lovely video, but is it cut short?
no i think she does say something in russian at the beginning. because if you listen closely, it doesn't sound like "due to the negative condition..." at all, and there are some words in between that are very difficult to make out as english words. and then she says "that means", as if she just said something in another language. also, "due to the negative condition, that means it's getting hard to breathe" doesn't make any sense.
i don't think that part is russian...it's something like "due to the negative condition...(something i can't understand)...it's getting harder to breathe
Eww

Heh, this is such a sad song, yet it's hard to refrain from smiling while singing along with the "Walk-a walk" part. ^.^
