Dresden Dolls - Rainbow Connection - Live @ CHAC in Seattle

[rahsun29]

@nogermsplease yeah drove me insane also but I think he does it on purpose

[bingotheraccoon]

She always seemed like she could turn in an instant, like... You know? Fierce, but not in the current use of the word. I think that's what makes her such an amazing performer. And singing this...It's such a nice "other" side.

[nogermsplease]

At the turnaround (0:48) The guitarist constantly plays the wrong chord on the word "someday" - instead of D it should be Bm...

Didn't it bother anyone else but me?

[LOVELIFE54]

By far the best version of this song !

[zebidee55]

What an adorable cover. I love it when people can do a simple song justice without trying to be ironic or clever.

[SchmoozyQ88]

@zebidee55 What a perfect description of her cover. :) She does do it justice. I'd love to hear her do a professional studio recorded version of this. Others have done good covers, except Jason Mraz. His is just... smarmy. Ick.

[ghettofabification]

I'll never find it the rainbow connection the leftover crizack and you!

[sarafp000]

so beautiful

[zellychan]

Never heard a version of this song that I didn't like, from Kermit to Gimme Gimmes to Jason Mraz to Dresden Dolls. I think it's testament to the song that it can be so varied and stay so great.

[CleosAintPeter]

This is my favorite version since the karen carpenter (and, of course, the original Kermit)

[bigdgt06]

Great tone and pitch on the vocals........but the guitarist missed some chords.......I also agree.........PLEASE STOP JASON MRAZ.......DON'T EVER LET HIM SING "RAINBOW CONNECTION" AGAIN...........HE SUCKS!!!!

[nekogemma]

i just got all teary. Amanda has that effect on me.

[Phantomsbreath]

Killer alto, lady. Henson woulda wanted it this way. Proper like.

[Prettyxrainbows]

i love the dresden dolls =)

[Habibasse]

Where's Kermit the Frog ? :-D

[BillysEvilCuzan]

he is under brians hat telling him the chords LOL...............

[Habibasse]

;-D

[CleosAintPeter]

lol

[PeaceWarrior24]

i love them so much!!!

[evilmonkeh]

lies!! lol.. i kid. He does a good cover yes.. but I love the dolls more.

[pheebsxcore]

they're both good covers. although actually... hearing other people sing it does make me miss kermit <3

[BrownieBottomSundae]

Yeah, I also like the Dresden Dolls' cover better than Mraz's :)

[dusktwilight7]

same here,

though mraz does a good cover, I feel like it's more about him than about the song. With the dolls, it's a tribute to the song, not a showcase of their talent so to speak.

[BrownieBottomSundae]

definitely

[TotzthePlaid]

My second favourite version of this song (sorry, nothing tops the Kermit version for me, but the Dolls got a VERY close second).

[BillysEvilCuzan]

Jason Mraz MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COST!

[Daphuhnuh]

And why is that?

[DeapSilentComplete]

@TotzthePlaid lol thats the only version i remember of this song

[ArcoFlagellant]

Wow, that is one of the best covers I have heard for The Rainbow Connection. Its very faithful to the original Paul Williams version as well.

[dermie12]

love it!

[ItsRetro]

one of the best rainbow connection songs she sounds likenico

[verik97]

she sounds nothing like nico

[ArcticSeconds]

i think she does but an american nico

[singfortheuniverse]

this is like the most beautiful thing i've heard. and coming from the dolls makes it even more beautiful!!

[rba01701]

awesome. Is he a guy?

[ryroluver]

The singer is a girl. Her name is Amanda Palmer. The Guitarist is a boy, His name is Brian Viglione.

[mobscene9305]

And we love them both in equal amounts which add up to more than nothing but less than everything at the same time as being happy but also rather upset because the Dresden Dolls can never make enough music to satisfy our love for them.

[hotwaiter]

I loooooooooooove this song...the Dresden Dolls are awesome for doing this. I only saw this when I saw the Sarah McLachlan version.

[BobbyBenson85]

Beautiful cover.

[Ticia77]

the kermit song?

[bembem08]

I grew up listening to Rainbow Connection being played on the radio. The last one I remembered was this song being sung by Kermit the Frog. But this version of the Dresden Dolls is one of the most beautiful I've heard. Great video! More! More!

[mrfloosak]

This is the coolest video ever. I always loved this song and the Dresden Dolls are the best. I wish they would have played it at the Fuck the BAck Row show in Los Angeles. But thanks for posting
