Jonathan Coulton - Je Suis Rick Springfield (Official Video)

[Sparkypedia]

Wow. I leave you alone for two years and come back to find you've got a new album, no shoes, jazzy, pink-tinted glasses and an incredible beard. Furthermore, John Hodgman's rocking a stache. WHEN DID THIS ALL HAPPEN? :3

[ToxiqueRosia]

The French girls:

I don't understand this idiot

Something about a very pretty dog?

[petarded3]

How is it possible that this song makes *less* sense after looking up the lyrics...

[adhesivemedstrip]

@petarded3 That's the point. This is like someone singing in English from a dictionary/translation guide book. Like, trying to describe the show Lost to someone in Chinese.

[computerfis]

You seem never to disappoint me, a great song!

[proOutlander]

Love all the grammar errors and stuff :P

[madcat337]

I'm Rick Springfield

Here in the bar

I am a nice guy

Who plays the guitar

I am someone who is in the United States: a superstar

[mrtacotheamazing]

200th like

[27aza1]

i pressed like for this video with a touch screen :D awesome song

[justarandompally]

Some day, I'm gonna end up going to The States all the way from Denmark, just to come to one of his peformances... Allthough it'll be worth it xD

[KRSONMar]

Okay,Jonathan hardly blinks at all in this video.Obviously it was intentional,because even with the double Jonathans,I counted eight blinks in the whole video.I'm serious,count them!

[ablemusic1]

how do we purchase this arrangement?

[AnaAerophina]

The fact that actual Springfield videos are coming up related for this.

[knobody1]

if i cross my eyes i get JoCo in 3D!

[SadisticMagician54]

Un médecin beau? LOL you da man Coulton!

[computerfis]

How come this haven't got over 1 mil views WOOT?

[justarandompally]

@computerfis But it doesn't have any dislikes!!! THat must count as something? :)

[adhesivemedstrip]

@justarandompally You really had to point that out. Looks like someone heard you...

[xtreme666bio]

I love how Jon has a tortured musician look while playing a FunMachine.

[Cheeseisgood7789]

If we were both single, into men, anywhere near the same age, and lived anywhere near eachother, I'd propose to this man.

[CopelandMeister]

Anyone else like this version much better than the album version?

[pallymander]

Favorite part? The hand flourishes.

[SpiritStiff]

I love this version so much

[tehkobe]

Really digging this version of the song.

[JamesCadeyrn]

with those glasses you kinda look like the dude from "that 70s show" XD

[ehcool]

like this if you think thar he should do this for some of his other songs e.g. skullcrusher mountain the future soon and soft rocked by me

[howle06]

Yowzers, this is excellent! More songs on the FunMachine, please Mr. Coulton!

[27aza1]

got like nr. 100 :D

[trotskeyandfriends]

Je suis Denis Trottier (Trotskey) et je veut beaucoup plus de francophonie! Bravo Jonathan!

[attackoftheglobules]

Man. I didn't really like the song, but then THIS...

I now feel educated because I can sing in French.

[RobinLundingS]

Nice one mate, but what happend to mike spiff?

[GlobalPeregrinations]

Well done JoCo, I think this is even better than the album version!

[TheDoctorSasquatch]

@nsimmonds That is "My name is Rick Springfield." In the song he is saying "I am Rick Springfield" not that his name is Rick Springfield. He is trying to convince someone he is the real Rick Springfield, not saying that that's his name.

[ThexMischkax]

Writing my french paper that's due tomorrow and I stumble across this song. I think this counts as studying for my exam, time to listen to it for a few hours.

[JamesCadeyrn]

i have no clue what hes saying but it makes me want to boogie XD

[osk19]

check out majinmusicgroup yall

[mdvlsoul]

Is it just me or does Joco in profile look like a muppet in this new video?? I know...he's a muppet of a man. A manly muppet...[feel free to sing along].

[yutirew]

i love being able to understand this

[sweeneybird]

J'aime bien ça!

[Orandjman]

Why does this remind me of ducktales...?

[Armakk]

Je ne comprends pas!

[sindex]

I love that all the official videos aren't even the album versions. It's like a whole new album! I hope we get these in the Level 4 package. They're awesome!

[RockingJamboree]

I NEED to hear a cover of this song by Rick Springfield. At the very least, I NEED to hear Rick Springfield sing this with JoCo. This NEEDS to happen soon. Has someone invited Rick Springfield to go JoCo Cruise Crazy?

[Cobrahitman001]

This Is much better then the album version! bravo! was on the fence about this song till this wonderful video.

[thehappyclub]

Love it. Best pop tune since "They Call Me Bruce."

[rustinrogers]

Your Frawnsh...she eez nawt correct, ah?

[richroc71]

I see you borrowed Hodgman's shoes for the video, nice touch.

[ZowieZombie]

<3

[Jeisukun]

One of my favourites from the album. When my friend who speaks French translated it for me, I couldn't stop laughing.

[RejectWoW]

This is the best french song since "Lady Marmalade" and Joco didnt even need Mya in lingerie do make it awesome! :)
