Randy Newman - 07 You Can Leave Your Hat On (Jazz Open 06)

[danandfriends96]

best singer/song writer of all time!!!

[boogiebabe67]

Have any of you looked at Randy in his 30's, playing songs like "Birmingham"? He was a slender, attractive man. I mean, c'mon, people gain weight when they get older, but WTF???? Yeah, the audience is a real joy, particularly the guy at about 1:05 who is scratching his chest. See Randy's performance of this song in '94 in Berlin .... totally different and way better. Randy, I think it's time for you to stop touring and just stay home. Sad, but true ...

[JamKar1]

Crowd was waiting for Joe Cocker to appear evidently.

[TexDad1971]

wow, Ben Stein got fat.

[ughhly]

Least sexual, son you havent lived !.

This is purely and simply a dejected man talking to a "prostitute."

Is the one that truly shows the depravity and life of the man !

[panamajim]

0:19 starts

[damned1997]

hahahah!!!! is he drunk!!!??

[dirtyshortsPU]

Holy losers! Randy, don't waste your time!

[ilipsoussan]

germans used to make much more noise when hitler was on stage....

[Superphilipp]

Why'd they haul out a shining Bechstein if they're gonna make it sound like a CP-70?

[hardhand14]

My favorite version of this is Etta James

[ThePhatboy3]

Looks like a PTA meeting......

[Derry266]

its Jazz so the audience fits perfect with this shite! worst music ever.

[CARLOTDUDE]

Guys, maybe the reason the crowd are not responding is that they are German. They might just not understand what Randy is saying. When he speaks slow, they seem to understand. Idiom is hard to understand, if it isn't your mother tongue.

[renskedj]

Joe Cocker's version sounds good, but I prefer Randy, you can hear that he wrote it as a joke when he sings it himself

[tgzuke]

This song gets better and creepier as Randy gets older.

[utillisateurs]

sorry, i prefer Joe Cocker...xD, thank you for the posting

[duckdaotsu]

ONLY Randy can sing this one, sorry... It's been one of my favorites by him for years and just came to mind when hubby walked in the bedroom. GOODNIGHT! Celebrating 16 years of wedded bliss on day after tomorrow and we are over 60, DEAL WITH IT, YOUNG'UNS!

[newwaveknight1]

@duckdaotsu It sounds like you guys are still rocking each other after all these years, so I salute you.

[FemalePirate]

10 people rated on opposite day =)

[MrMiniseb]

what the fuck is this?!?!?! Randy Newman is a complete bufoon with about 3 brain cells, and that's being generou. What an utter nob.

[Dan474834]

LOL, there's are woman with binoculars in the audience!

[vapren]

poem ???

[Agronomych64]

Mda....this is zero! Nothing :) Joe Cocker, Tom Jones or Grigory Leps!!

[durgaaa]

Not a very Rockin' crowd. I'd be up dancin' in my spike heeled shoes, movin' real

slo-o-o-w. Maybe it's because they're German.

[MrMystery96]

Hey, they laughed!

It's a miricle!

[Aneajan]

so easy...

[eggsandwine]

dead audience... lol

[DarkkOrbit]

My ex brother-in-law told me with a straight face he preferred Joe Cocker's version. (Randy wrote the song.) I never much liked him after that.

[BazzTheBoss]

wtf, they're sitting on chairs

[BassThatGuy]

down syndrome for the win

[Hughie521324K]

ive seen coma patients more animated than that audience

[pahomser]

super!!!

[DIANNEELEE]

Randy's "Short People" is one of the best off beat songs ever. A Randy fan loves anything he does, even if he is singing words out of a "How To Act Proper" book.

If you don't get it, then you probably don't.

[FTIBand]

Thats a very good way of putting it!

[DIANNEELEE]

Thanks, I love Randy and everything he does, especially Short People that was critisized, but I think of it as kids that are short, not people who are short.

[ddamoulakis]

pathetic...

[bonsc1]

yea soz but joe cockers version is much better.

[planetrokka]

I like it. It´s a "coming home fully stoned & drunken" -Version.

[maraja21]

out of tune, out of metronome... oh my god... good writing but don't sing please

[DjKratos101]

I have great repsect for Randy, but it would've been better if he didn't do this!

[patothetrick]

He wrote the song...

[fes2cax]

moraes eu te amo!

[shimyshimyyea]

haha this is least sexual version of this song.

[durgaaa]

@shimyshimyyea I agree. How do you find your fave version? Three martinis would have fixed that issue!

[shimyshimyyea]

@durgaaa Tom Jones' was my fave. A lot of people like the Cocker version, but the Full Monty was just too good.

[DaanGuitarManiak]

@shimyshimyyea it isn't because you pretend him saying it to woody

[newwaveknight1]

@shimyshimyyea I was shocked when I found out he wrote this. I was thinking "The Toy Story guy wrote a stripper song"?

[Brummsella]

@shimyshimyyea

Maybe that's because it never intended to be a sexual song. It's actually a song about voyeurism.

[barrusDemonPlucker]

just leave the hat one

[Ishjas7]

OMG!! That audience must have been lobotomized prior to attending this concert.

Daaamned!! Wake up people.. lol lol

[wongkar]

They're germans...I mean...not to play upon the stereotype but they should do live up to it!

[Yazo82]

It probably has less to do with being German and more to do with the distinct possibility that many of them might not understand what he is saying (I mean, he is singing in English, with a pretty heavy drawl)..... and if people understand the words, they might not understand the subtle innuendos that you need to be a native English speaker to understand. I bet if the same words were in German, the crowd would be more animated.

[Reichsadler1]

my ears hurt

[jkoff76]

@Reichsadler1, so does your taste.

[dercucumber]

im german and i guarantee you everybody would jumpin if it was cocker version. hes hits more the germans taste.

randy newman had much better songs than this one.....

but joe cocker made YCLYHO a never forgetteble one!

[BostonRocker51]

dercucumber - guten abend - Actually, the Joe Cocker version is more like Randy Newman's original studio version, but with bigger orchestration... thanks for your comment, tho - zehr interesant zu lesen.

[lekotar]

@Ishjas7 you don't understand dude... they are german...

[hrothgleas]

@Ishjas7 Every time I've done it, it inspired 'audience participation...'

Thank God for drunk women...

[cyoteblues]

@Ishjas7 Ha ha. I think they put something in their drinks.

[zackhanscom]

@Ishjas7 ou want them to jump up the stage and fellate your hero? douchebag...

[rikanaka]

@Ishjas7 Well, they're Germans so same thing.

[ScottXO1]

LOL @ audience

[jpcohen1978]

What a staid audience. This song is hysterical. Come on, folks, laugh!

[lovejazzH]

How can I have missed that it was Randy who wrote this? Hmm.

[KollaboKofi]

one of my all time fav randy newman songs, thanx

[gygi1]

omg Joe Cocker is much better!

[Hoboscouts]

BULL SHIT

[goshou]

I've never heard anyone but Randy Newman get the right amount of seediness into this song - probably because he wrote it and knows exactly how to deliver it.

[20MadeMoiselle]

I prefer joe cocker

[Hoboscouts]

FAG

[streetsweeper06]

mmmm yeaah
