@rosemarie443 Well the main subject of the video was a young woman called Amanda. Also this was a proof of concept piece when I was trialling web based software to create a "mash up"
Why would you mash up a beautiful song with a girl acting like a dumb cluck. Are you trying to make her look more pathetic than she already is? I'm sorry but there's something nasty about ridiculing someone
@redtony58 I did not think I was ridiculing her, I have quite a lot of respect for this pair given how they told Playboy where to stick their money. Plus during the particular Big Brother she was one, she and her sister did not receive a single nomination. I was simply taking what clips I could grab to make this at the time. I was actually testing a facility at the time to grab other video clips.
Perhaps you're missing the point of the criticisms? Admittedly, I don't think the criticisms make the issue clear: The video is incongruous with the song. Indeed, one of the women is Amanda Marchant but that doesn't make video content meaningful to the song. That's the issue. I checked the internet and there're dozens of images of Amanda M. that could have been montaged to correspond with the meaning of the song. Thanks for posting the song: It's possible to listen and not watch the video.
The girls are too flamboyant for this song.... -they dress like whores- all they need is a pole and their in bussiness! They don't deserve a gentleman for a husband!
I'm sorry but I detest t he word whore. It says a great deal more about the person who uses it then about the subject of the slur. Prostitutes wouldn't exist if men weren't interested in the sex; yet men don't get slurred. Many men who frequent prostitutes are married...what does that say about their morality? A women is entitled to dress as she pleases without stressing whether some sexist, misogynistic dinosaur will spread ill founded rumors about their behavior.
@brian1958usgrant This video was purely a proof of concept video to see if I could dowload other Youtube clips and create mashups. like others do. What do you consider wrong with the video? Is there a technical issue or do you not like the fact that I used a reality TV contestant who happened to have the same name as the song title?
@brian1958usgrant welll Don recorded this song first, and Waylon came in second, and i like both singers, but Don is better than Waylon. i would perfer to listen to Don.
@johan0066 This video was purely a proof of concept video to see if I could dowload other Youtube clips and create mashups. like others do. What do you consider wrong with the video?

I'm 26 years but ilove his music so much,one day iwas talking to afriend ,itold him that we will not get such great singers and nice music like this again he relied that people of my age who say like that are totaly stupid. but for me ijust looked at him becouse acording to what feel when ilisten to this music you can't feel it when you listen to today's music .Thank you very much mr Don and other country singers like you.
I did not know that. If that's the case, then I salute these two beautiful girls and their commendable moral compass. Putting these images on this song is STILL STUPID, but saying that is NOT a criticism of the girls in the video.
@JohnnyHoffa When I did this video I had come across a website that allowed me to download youtube clips. I wanted to experiment with that site and make up my own mash up. I had this track and these twins were in the news at the time.
I have used that site now to do other movies, but this was the first test piece just to see if I could do it.
@CRANSHAWS555 This was originally a proof of concept film, but if we are talking about these two twins, they were offered a large sum of money to do Playboy and they told them where to stick their money. Surprising as it seemsthey did have a higher moral compass than people gave them credit for.
The song is beautiful, the video is a nightmare...But that's what youtube is all about...Making the absurd and revloting part of our daily life...Thanks for posting!
The video was from the UK 2007 Big Brother series where there were a pair of twins. One of whom was called Amanda. I was trying out a system to grab other youtube clips so I could make my own compilations on other projects. This video was there fore a test of concept piece.
I LOVE the high part to this song! It's so pretty! This is my grandparents song. =] my nana said my grandfather used to sing it all the time. lol. but her name isn't amanda. i guess it's the thought that counts. =]
@danedturner Imagine if Tim McGraw sang this song to Mandy Moore...it would make her re-emerge as a country singer, get a recording contract with RCA Nashville and probably do better on the country chart than on the pop chart.
they both sang this song and in my opinion Don Williams did the best with this particular tune (Though Waylon was great!) and he is one of the best artists of all time in my opinion, all his songs are simple but moving and so well done!
anyone thats heard waylon sing "Amanda" know this is NOT waylon! I do like waylons COVER better but this is don williams you need to listen up a little better!
I was initially trying out software to capture Youtube clips so this was a sort of test piece for later projects.
Also since one was called Amanda, this was the obvious song.
I also think it is unfair to call them skags, especially when Playboy tried to get them to do a topless shoot, they told them where to stick their money.
I'd like to take this moment to dedicate this song For my FRIEND Arthur Hughes who passed away today. I think about you all the time, & will miss you dearly. Cheers My FREIND. XOXO
The twins were contestants in the UK Big Brother competition that ran in 2007. One of them was called Sam and the other Amanda, hence the song. They became classed as one housemate and jointly came second to Brian Bello who is also in the movie towards the end, and is now dating Amanda
Well, that is a tenuous connection, indeed. I don't think the song and the pictures go together at all. I listed it in my favorites, though, because it has the clearest audio of this song. They are very pretty, though, so at least I won't have to scroll up to avoid the images like with lame anime music vids.
Correction: This video is not set to the music of the "late" Don Williams... Don Williams is still very much alive and, God willing, will continue to be for many years to come. Great song, thanks for the post.
I agree, the last I knew Don Williams was very much alive. THE GENTLE GIANT
as he is known, is one very super man and a fine performer. If any of you get a chance to see DW in concert/LIVE, by sll means do so. You will not be sorry!! While working at the North West Montana Fair in the early 80's, I met 3 of the finest of country music. Charley Pride, Lorretta Lynn and Roy Clark!! A fortunate person I was/am!!
well like usual the video does have nothing to do with the song. it is just somebodies stupid idea of freaking out.
