  • I will admit, there during the bridge part i wanted to plug my ears and say "get singing lessons" but eh rest of it is SOOOOO addicting and amazing =)

    and i love how at the end she gets off this schpeel of rapid words and just smiles and says "Thank you". The modesty at the end makes it so much more entertaining to listen to.

  • That sweet and humble "Thank you" at the end is absolutely precious :'). I love this woman.

  • Oh, what happened to her?

  • I bow in admiration,to her self-effacing,totally sincere,sweetly whispered 'Thank You'... And just a split second before the glisssando,timing,tone,half smile, Bellisima! To the Comparison Prone Community : Please shut up, Nellie is peerless, mmmkay?

  • I heard this song like a year ago, and have spent months looking for it. and tonight I finally found it !!!!!

    so happy

  • 1:22 3>

  • If you like Nellie, make sure to check her out in NYC Thanksgiving weekend! Go to for information!

  • you can compare them to others with the industrial ones

  • Post Thanksgiving-Nellie is in NYC.

  • W O W

    This girl needs to do a song with Bob Dylan.

    Thanks for posting this. Excelent.

  • I love how after the song the audience is in shock, and they don't cheer untel she sweetly says thankyou.

  • Not eminem... but Bob... both young bobs

  • Shes playing NYC! cegpresents Nov. 26th

  • How can anyone compare this sweet talented girl with someone like eminem? There's no comparation

  • @Bjornhegel

    It's called "Sari"

  • She play piano million times better than Eminem. Thumb for this video.

  • interesting about poeple writing comments on Nellie being the musical child of Eminem, since she is an outspoken feminist and Eminem is one of the more distinguished sexist songwriters out there....

  • <3

  • omg my friend just inrouduced me and shes amazing defiantly need more publicity

  • Did Eminem have a sister?

  • She is beautiful and extremely talented. Another song I just heard her sing is "Mean to Me" also another Doris Day song. She is going to be very successful.

  • Wow, I was impressed with her voice, demeanor, and good looks, but now I am in awe of her sharp fast mind. Beautiful!

  • I'm in loop ewe

  • 斎藤さん、これどう?知ってた?

  • "Oh, somebody phone home, the American people have spoken"!

    Priceless!

  • @OverDosed018, could you think of something better? Oh wai, I didn't want to waste 20 hours of your day, you need sleep, you grumpy old man! Cheer up! :) lol

  • what is the name of that song !???? man ,, shes VERY qute !!

  • @bjornhegel Sari

  • @bjornhegel

    i was going to ask the same thing :)

  • She should say "Get down on your knees because i'm a goddess and you're a bunch of nobodies", but instead of that she finishes the song with the humblest and sweetest "Thank you". I love this woman so much.

  • Wow, January 19th, 2006 - it must be like one of the oldest videos on youtube! Yet, only 700k views, too bad...

  • I still love this so much :)

  • Anyone have the piano music to this?! Gahh, I'd die to learn it and just rock out all day. XD

  • Few people can swear in a way that doesn't degrade them, this is a video of one of them. Oh, she sings too? and well? :O It gets better and better!

  • she is so amazing. inspirational.

  • Nellie McKay is Nellie McKay don't you fucking compare her to anyone.

  • @G1r0015

    It's true. When you think about it, can you really compare any single musician to any other?

  • She sounds like Regina Spektor! :O

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I wouldn't worry about the apparent lack of hits she's had on You Tube, Give her a little longer....taking the non commercial path can sometimes be hard and arduous but at least in the end what you get is an artist .......still intact!!!!

    Kept their Integrity keeping the music pure and therefore in curing longevity ensuring Nellie to be around way after anyone can remember who Katy Perry WAS??????? Katy WHAT???

  • @msplaty49 great point. have you heard that katy perry song 'peacock'? shockingly stupid music for a 26 year old to be singing. it's about longevity

  • 3:25 Cutest "thank you" ever

    ^__^

  • Fuck.

  • Most captivating 3 minutes and 38 seconds on youtube!

  • Comment removed

  • ohhh my goodness. im a new fan. :)

  • SHIT JUST GOT REAL.

  • Her other songs do indeed remind me of Regina... but all the franticness of this song leans more toward Amanda Palmer, me thinks. (Even though AFP puts in way more inflection with her voice.) Eeek, I always feel guilty after comparing artists, it feels like I'm insulting their originality.

    Anywho, I really can't get enough of Nellie, she's too adorable! But I hear she's a bit of a diva, such a shame. Can't say I blame her.

  • Want her babies.

  • Eminem and regina spektor had a musical child

  • @aaroplane eminem should learn to rap from Nellie Mckay!

  • @aaroplane a little bob dylan too?

  • @aaroplane lol. so amazing tho. she's so beautiful.

  • She is an original....I really like her. I wouldn't worry about the ones who dis like they are probably part of the population that are slaves to mainstream thinking you know the ones who "keep everything they do and say safe" in order to avoid an opinion...Ugh close minded idiots they annoy me. Awesome work Nellie

  • It's art "gongwongton"....does that mean anything to you. If you think she can't sing with beauty, harmony and melody then check out other songs. But sometimes art is about a message, as much about soothing the soul with sound. There is a statement being made, in an incredibly creative way. Can't you get that? Or haven't you tried? I realize how many of you out there today are so lazy as to not be able to think or attempt to think deeper and open the mind. She'll be fine, will you? Gongwongton

  • weird... shes just talking i dont really see the musicallity in her voice at all

  • @gongwongton id say this song is closer to rapping than singing, if youd like to hear her sing shes got a bunch of other songs

  • @gongwongton that is because you don't understand musicality at all - Nellie McKay is simply great and if you don't see that, I am very "sari" 4 U!

  • @WINGDIDINGDIDONG im sorry for myself that i cant understand the beauty in this

  • what the hell is this songs name? I LOVE IT!!!

  • She's adorable ^u^ I love her hahaha

  • whats the title of this song?

  • I am sorry for the people who didn't like this. :(

  • mom: where are you going with a baseball bat?

    me: im gonna kill 74 people.

    mom: why?

    me: they disliked nellie mckays awesome video

    mom: Bring a friend okay?

    me: thats okay i have 1,741 other people with me

    mom;okay, just be sure to wear a sweater, its cold outside.

    me: okay

  • @luv2dream09 im coming with you!

  • @muldongbai Hell yessss! The dislikers must have Gotten high and thought the dislike bar wa the dis I like bar!

  • @luv2dream09 Be original ..

  • @OverDosed018 I don't totally understand what you mean by that, so I won't take it offensive :)

  • @luv2dream09 Let me explain. That joke you did? Everybody does it. Its not funny anymore, its fucking lame. Do not do it. Fucking sucks.

  • @OverDosed018 Who the fuck stuck a pole in your ass?

  • @luv2dream09

    Probably nobody ;) I am just saying, that you are fucking lame, EVERYBODY is doing that shitty line...

  • Just found this by chance but I LOVE HER!

  • 74 people must be deaf.. sorry?(;

  • I'm pretty sure she only breathed once during that whole thing.

  • Awesome performance, I have heard the studio version with better sound quality and it makes it that much better. Too bad it is not availble.

  • I wish I could find a music sheet for this. It is just so awesome.

  • The people a the end is so shock that they don't know what to do and the end xD

  • wow. this is legit.

  • she's great <3

  • Incrible!

  • She isn't fascinating. She is a musician. Not just an artist, like most people can sing other peoples songs. She creates and performs art. And if you take your time, then you will discover that she has depth. I like lots of music, but there is only a few artists that I really love, in no specific order: Janis Joplin, Ana Vidovic, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Nellie McKay, Frank Zappa, Eva Cassidy, Xuefei Yang... But Ms Mckay is truly original, and I love her music.. This performance? Incredible.

  • how fascinating!

  • awesome!

    does this song have a name?

  • @BustDaMove

    Sari

  • Es una GENIO!

  • Piano and rap is an quite unfamiliar combination with such endless power. Want to listen to more of such stuff. SO TO ALL SINGER SONG WRITERS; Rap and Piano rocks. produce more!!!

  • she riped the shit up

    with a smile

    dam...

  • Great singer sad when only 700k+ views and Katy Perry with her nintindo whore music has a trillion views....

  • shit she almost puts Lady Sovereign to shameXD ALMOSTXD

  • @dnaivnae How dare you compare the two.

  • @thechaser1985 0.o jeez dude, chillax its a fukkin opinion ime entitled to one.

  • Comment removed

  • @dnaivnae Chillax? LOL at ghetto talk. You assume that I'm not *relaxed? Quite calm... I'm only half serious when I say "how dare you", not excited or angry at all. But that was pretty dumb. If you knew anything about this girl, you would know that Nellie's music is totally different from Lady Sovereign's crap.

  • @thechaser1985 okay, i guess i deserved tha', my bad, i ne'er used chillax be'ore so i decided to use it, i guess their is a time and place fo' everything. and yes, i assumed, i guess tha' makes me an arse and you not one. oh, so you were half serious? so you were also, half joking...correct? and her stuff is no' crap, its goo' rap is very soothing to me as is this music so i am torn betwixt the both o' them. and i guess it was kinda dumb, from the bottom o' me Irish heart, my apologies.

  • @dnaivnae Your sarcasm doesn't really do much here. My simple point is that they are two completely different types of music. Do you not get that? It's not accurate to compare them. Is that better, I used nicer words for you.

  • @thechaser1985 i wasn't being sarcastic, tha' would be rude, i was raised be''er than tha'. yes, i do get tha' they are from two different areas of music. oh, okay, now i get what you mean.....sorry, i'm a lil' slow in the morning.

    so, change of subject for a quick tick, how are you today? (dumb question considering i don't even know you, bu' its polite to ask^x^)

  • What the name of the music?

  • @pirigulina

    sari

  • @pirigulina its called sari-nellie mckay

  • talented lyricist, talented pianist, talented vocalist ..... triple threat. damn that was entertaining.

    my tongue would spasm if I tried to sing that.

  • epic....just epic

  • Take that Katy Perry

  • amazing.

    that's all.

  • amazing.

  • incredible 

  • saw her tonight. 

  • I'm still waiting for her big break! Listening to her on NPR right now and remembered this.

  • does anyone know where I can buy this version?

  • what is this song called??

    She is so AWESOME

  • @Ashleyinthedress Sari is the name of song

  • I Will Be Amazed If Someone Got The Lyrics For This(:

  • fucking female eminem! haha. with one differente, dont really like eminem but she just stole my heart. And im not even a lesbian ;)

  • why isn't she a big star by now?

  • @deadninga Because she told Sony to go fuck themselves :)

  • I thought she was gonna say sorry for you again but then out squeaks 'thank you'. what a character

  • <3 Love it

  • I've never heard of her before, but HOLY EFF!!!! She is amazing. New favorite? Quite possibly.

  • @bittersweet913 My thoughts exactly. I feel as though I've been punched in the face with her talent.

  • @zaloveza just so you know your right talking fast isn't rapping but singing, fast or otherwise, while rhyming is rapping at least it's original rapping not like the stuff all these new rappers are trying to push which is just shit.

    And yes to answer your question you just got owned.

  • Tim Minchin, eat your heart out! =D

  • What's this song called? I love it!

    @susieinthesky I think it was in January of 2006 as it says in the date that this video was updated.

  • @8Psychotic its called Sari

  • lol

  • Amazing... like from a different time with all sorts of skills of now and then all mixed in a brilliant musical piece... wow, I was jus talkin about a female Eminem and then I scrolled down and I noticed the comment about it rite beneath... :-)

  • This song is realyy cool.! But when was this?

  • she is a combination of things that just shouldn't go together EVER... which in my opinion is a very good thing.

  • this song makes me wanna kill myself!!!!

    wait, that sounds bad, actually...

    but what i meant was, like, i just want this monstrosity of beautiful, raw destruction to be the last thing i experience in life.

    see....ya know... the good "this makes me wanna kill myself".

  • bob dylan, god, and eminem just had a daughter and raised it in the east village. awesome

  • can someone PLEASE tell me what song this is???

  • @erhaboriE The song's name is "Sari"

  • jesusfuckingchrist, my mind just exploded from how awesome this/she is.

  • @lalalalucybug Jesus is fucking himself? wtf? but yes i agree with the last bit

  • she's cool!!

  • wow! Wow! WOW! such a big, wide mouth she has!

  • owned for a lot raper's XD

  • im addicted to her O-O!

  • o.o she sings fast

  • i like the little smile and "thank you", at the end.

  • @noahsdisluvio :

    She looks like she was trying to muster courage to end the song as recorded (saying "Oh, shit...")... and in the end decided not to.

  • Fabtastic!

    Really wish we could get a stereo recording of this performance.

  • omg this is insane i just listened 2 this like 9 times IN A ROW she is sooo amazing but it was totally unexpected

  • WOW thats sooo insane she is amazing i think i just listened 2 this about 9 times IN A ROW and im about 2 listen 2 it again it was totally unexpected

  • Listen to this deranged woman! Her lyrics are formidable. When I saw her a couple of years ago on SNL. Ordered her CD the very next day.

  • One of a Kind!!!! LOVE Her!

  • EVERYONE: The song is called sari but don't but it on iTunes because it sucks, the best place to hear it is here.

  • Oh my god whats the bname of this song!!

  • Don't apologize dammit! :)

  • Nellie Mckay is sorry for the 56 people that disliked this.

  • Such good stuff. Can't believe I haven't heard of heard.

  • OH. MY. GOD.

    She just destroyed that shit.

  • She's so... angry...

  • does anyone know what the name of this song is??

  • @victoriaishot69 'Sari'

  • I saw her live back in 2007, it was amazing!

  • Goddammit, she's adorable. I had no idea she rapped.

  • I wish I could get my hair like that. <3

  • holy shit. i am literally blown away. what a major misconception. is there anyone who thought theyd be listening to a blonde haired white girl spit rapid fire rhymes like twista while playing the piano beautifully when they clicked it. i certainly didnt. i wanna see her battle other female mcs like nicki minaj. ssssoooo much better than that fag lil wayne

  • She reminds me of Regina Spektor. Kinda sounds like her too. She was great though :D

  • @TheCmonky I agree

  • a little blonde woman, in a pink frilly dress, in front of a piano...

    and shes rapping...

    My awesomeness radar just overheated...

  • @LadieBunny

    hmmm talking really fast and rapping are two different things & if you think differently, then it would make sense.

  • @zaloveza well, she is rhyming and doing it fast.. with music... wouldn't you call it kinda of rapping?

  • @poltergeistish NO!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @zaloveza good argument, you really made things clear to me. thanx

  • interesting comments on trying to define what rap is. There is a specific kind of rhyming, a certain stress pattern that characterizes Rap. I wish I knew a poetic term for it. I love this Song, and Nellie but I wouldn't call it rapping. Its more complex, and original and I love the fact that she can actually play an instrument and really sing too.

  • @akaprana you have to distinguish form from essence. this is not typical anything judging by its form but it could be classified like a rap song for it's essence. that is at least my idea, but maybe I'm wrong. if so I would just like for someone to say why, and give me real arguments :) i didn't leave the comment just to bug someone, or argue

  • @LadieBunny great song isn't it

  • Eh she's ok

  • ...Did she just drop the F bomb twice on CBS? More power to her. She rocks ^_^

  • freakin awesome:D:D:D

  • beautiful

    

  • God I love her

  • As of this moment 54 people either clicked wrong or should die

  • This laidee is cool!!!
