Des O'Connor, "Little Miss Dysmorphia" (dir. Alex de Campi)

[Gileseypops]

Guess what i bought this week? Only a ukulele! XD have you ever been tempted to put your tabs on your songs? I;d love to play these to my housemates...all credit to you of course. ;) x

[Gileseypops]

Hope you enjoy your last year in school Des! Bet Caecilius was a lot more fun with you! :D xx

[RedHeadVicky]

Saw him in Brighton and he is a total legend!!!

Rock on O'Connor!

:-D

[Tzuish]

seen him , what feels like, a million times in bizarre but this is the first time I've actually heard him and it's amazingly brilliant!

[BrokenGoods]

simply delightful :) now i must go pluck my eyebrows and trowel on some foundation :P

[rapunzellmo]

At last I've found the proper Des! The saviour of the Fringe Opening Party in Edinburgh last year - what a treat! Though half the audience needed time to drink before fully appreciating Motherly Love... I gave the George Square show my best review ;-)

[dessiemondo]

You are too, too lovely. Thank you rapunzellmo. I am back with a vengeance to Edinburgh this year with a solo show (Desmorphia) and a burlesque extravaganza (High Tease) both produced by the incredibly wonderful and talented Blond Ambition and Ministry of Burlesque. Hope to see you there! ;-)

[glasgowcabaretfes]

*coughs* Not forgetting And The Devil May Drag You Under at the Glasgow Cabaret Festival of course...!

[Gileseypops]

Des was amaaaazing at the bizarre ball. i can;t believe they took off the Motherly love video. *cries* xx

[dessiemondo]

Thank you, darling. Putting my risque material up on youtube is a bit tricky at the moment, but that's all going to change very soon and I promise I'll get Bizarre to put Motherly Love back online. be back online! In the meantime, you might be interested in searching for "burlesque freakout devil" for a saucy little incognito treat! ;-)

[smithyduk]

cant wait to see him on saturday :-)

[eurasta]

You are fab!

[mogwai4000]

I've never lolled at a song as I've lolled at this. I saw him perform it at The Bongo Club during the Edinburgh Festival last year.

Beautiful little tune and a clever little ditty.

[dessiemondo]

Thank you. That really means a lot! I'm back in Edinburgh this summer with High Tease at The Voodoo Rooms and a solo show with some very special guests. Hope to see you there. Dx

[Saintcerjezk]

Your a freak.

[dessiemondo]

Darling, 30 seconds spent looking at your YouTube site tells me that you might be better sticking to screen shots of bellicose computer games than exploring the world of cabaret and the alternative arts. However, before you go I must draw attention to your woeful grasp of the rudiments of English grammar; spend a moment researching the use of a contractive apostrophe before returning to your vapid and otiose little life. Dx

[pomrose]

Lovely video & song !!

[dessiemondo]

Thank you so much. Do, please, spread the word. Dx

[TimBisleyProductions]

is this about Amanda Palmer?

[dessiemondo]

No. I've sung it to Amanda and at her 'funeral' on the Who Killed Amanda Palmer tour, but the song was written before I got to know her. I'm sure there's bits that she, like me and like a lot of people, can realte to though; at least that's what I was trying to achieve with the song. Dx

[alexdecampi]

Hahaha, no. I'm laughing because if you knew Amanda, you'd know she is so NOT like that. Amanda, Des and I are part of the same circle of performing freaks and uniques so for example Des has toured with Amanda and I've also directed a video for Amanda.

Des wrote this song several years ago before he met Amanda - or indeed me. The song is about all of us in a way... I don't believe it was written "about" anybody.

[Overfiend002]

I saw him at the bizarre ball, I thought he was quite funny

[dessiemondo]

Thank you, darling. I thought your reply was quite funnny too.

[Overfiend002]

Actually I made a reappearence at Madame Jojo's with a couple of lady friends, another good show!

[IceTruckKiIIer]

I want a uke tab for Cheap Shite White Wine!

[dessiemondo]

Soon, my friend, soon, and there's very exciting news in the pipeline about everyone's favourite alcoholic ode. Watch this space! Dx

[bendymonkey]

god des, these people really like kissing your arse dont they? whens the album out messiah? chalkie

[dessiemondo]

The album's on hold in preparation for my Edinburgh show The Devil May Drag You Under. See myspace for more details! ;-)

[sxipshirey]

weeelll. he does have a nice ass...so....

[odannybooy]

Top Tune Des! Nice video stylings too

[smathiksurafrak]

"and if the bits had made her happy it would all have been worthwhile, she's also got a plastic smile!"

this is great! Des has a really lovely voice, and lyrics. The video was really cool too!

[ArtGal216]

Ahahaha! this is an awsome song. Sounds like America's obsession with beauty and staying young. Awsome song! Very truthful to today's society.

[XshattereddreeamsX]

This was really cool :D (this is "cursedwithoutaname" btw...) my favorite part is the lyrics they are amazing and the melody is too!

[alexdecampi]

From the first time I heard this song, I knew I had to do a video for it, because Des' lyrics and melody were so excellent...

[scottishjonwilson]

Brilliant des (as always).

[julesboy777]
