  • thank you itunes for introducing this song to us.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, it looked like those kids had fun with that video, which was also well done. it's part of what made it so endearing.

  • Ha Ha! So fantastic!

    This really made my day. =D

  • Incredible. If you don't get it when the kid rounds the corner of the Baskin Robbins...you never will. :)

  • @calansvc I never get it

  • Sweet video, for one of THE greatest songs of modern history.

  • You were the best in the video, Sam.

  • Even though I've known this song for over two years I'm still hearing "Lousy with your Gibson" at 1:55. And I know the lyric is "Lousy with your Content".

  • @101Volts I always think its "Lousy with your good time"

  • @RegaCaska Thanks, Maybe I'll start hearing it like that now.

  • awwwwwww i love dis :)

  • The first girl I ever loved linked me to this video the first time she wanted me to hear this song. I fell in love with her and this song and this band that day.. We're not together anymore but I still think of her, this song brings back happy memories and a bit of sadness.. It's amazing how much one link or video can change your life...

  • this song makes me feel like there is nothing i can do

  • far freakin brilliant

  • that was unexpectedly good.

  • Wonderful Song, will last the ages

    Came upon it by chance, had never heard of the band.

    Have listened to it over a few times, love the way the way the music builds and gives you a feeling of anticipation for the final chorus.

    That ending is one of the pieces of music that goes beyond just being catchy and

    trips something in the brain, creates an emotional response just through its wonderful sequence.

  • @hanstrutzel When I saw them live last year in Columbus and they played this song the crowd was dancing like mad and singing along, From what I could see and hear anyway. I kinda wish there was video of that performance, There are a few clips from the show but none of that song that I know of.

  • @101Volts they came to my school last weekend and when they played this song, your description of the crowd was exactly what i looked like. i was so mad i missed like half their set (spent too long drinking & smoking up in preparation, of course) but they closed with this song and it was so so beautiful.

  • Great stuff, no thanks to George bu$h. Ha ha ha.

  • I watched this video at least 11 times in a row! Truly great.

  • Have been a fan of this vid for a while and totally just thought of it when the Black Eyed Peas had dancers with boxes on their heads at the Super Bowl. Way to be cooler than the Black Eyed Peas and doing that years ago.

  • Lucky enough to be off to see them tonight at the Kings Arms in Auckland. They're too much of a class act for the gig to not be a ripper. Hoping they bust this little gem out

  • I used to mishear the lyric at 1:55 as "Lousy with your Gibson" Even after I read the correct lyric "Lousy with your content".

  • This is the theme song to my life. It plays in my head constantly.

  • Amazing. One word can explain it all.

    amazing work, i'm watching it again =]

  • Sometimes I like to wear panyhose on my head and peak in people's windows. Now that's awesome.

  • They are awesome. That is all that needs to be said.

  • VIDEO: Great thanks

    SONG: A string of licks that are dependent on Neko pulling it together at about the 3:28 mark - ends stong but you can't dance until the 2nd half. These guys are capable of better

  • This might be one of the dumbest comments on Youtube and that's saying a lot. I didn't realize they were a dance band.

    Listen to Lady Gaga if you're only interested in music you can dance to.

  • LT/DS - if this effort is successful why did Neko hit the exit right after this was recorded? Face it - this album went nowhere - in spite of a great effort by the band - and that's saying a lot.

    Please reply without the insults.

  • Tom, I have no idea why Neko left. the band I'm not privy to that information. And whether the album went anywhere means nothing to me. I, and most fans of this band, realize this is a great song whether it's a dance song or not.

  • Neko was never really a full member. She was basically a guest on the albums. I hope she returns though. Neko is a dream!

  • funny and heartwarming vid for an amazing song, guys :)

  • cool

  • That was cute

    :P

  • bravo!

  • really good vid to a really good song.

  • I have watched this over 20 times & it's still amazing. Great job! Thanks.

  • bleeding heart show is awesome

  • nice video ! what an epic song

  • Nice job you guys!!!

  • That was really excellent! I think I'll watch it whenever I'm feeling blue.

  • nicely done.  I hope you got an A.

  • great video! goes so well with the song.

  • At first i was like this is kinda different! When he was getting dressed!! But eventually i came around...half way thru...i LoVe this ViD

  • I liked the video,but i really liked how you gave Special Thanks to Neko Case's face. Which i totally agree with

  • I actually love this. It's brilliant.

    Video and song. (:

  • totally ace video!!

  • Haha I completely agree with you, and like your choice of words love!

    you dont hear people say ace anymore!

  • Way to capture the spirit of the song!

  • That was adorable.

    haha

    also: dancing teacher was awesome.

  • Qualitee video! Pretty impressive, especially for a high school project.

  • this guys have great songs

  • haha good song.

    i missed out on alot i guess people are stupid when they argue over youtube.... i guess i shouldnt talk to though.

    I had a fight on comments.. it was heckkkkka gay.

  • Haha I wish I was thet to just throw in random comments

    "Sour patch kids are effin' greaaaaaaaaaat!"

    "Im from Canada, that means I get to have pot"

    ...stuff like thatl Just to fuck with them

  • oh

    haha

    i do that sometimes but people can be so harsh on youtube.

  • Because nobody is that mean in real life so they use the internet as a cool excuse to flip shit at each other.

    People in our society are too dam nice, it seems

  • No one in America today knows what socialism is. You guys freak the fuck out over anything that sounds like the word though.

    If you looked up and learned about socialism, you wouldn't be so scared of it - all it is is the government helping people by co-owning property. The whole point of the govt. is to help the people.

  • "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."

    Great video by the way! This should be the song for this generation. It just needs a movie to go with it, like the Breakfast Club did for "Don't You Forget About Me" way back in the 80's.

  • Right. The war of choice in Iraq didn't pile on any debt on their generation. $671,000,000,000 and counting.. Let's not forget the corporate bailouts that were the result of capitalism gone wild, too. Shut up and read a book. Please.

  • The moral hazard of allowing people to gamble knowing they would be bailed out is what led to this crisis. READ up on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mack. and these charming Dems: Chris Dodd, Barnie Franks, Franklin Raines and Maxine Waters. Then read up on the proposed 2005 Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act, sponsored by Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Sens. Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), John McCain (R-AZ) and John Sununu (R-NH), that WOULD have increased government oversight of housing loans

  • So in your view of history, Republicans are now, and have always been, in favor of govt regulation of the markets? Isn't there a word for that...oh yeah, Socialism. Now that it's become popular and free-market capitalism has been proven a failure, you're shining a light on the 1 or 2 examples of rational thought on the right side of the aisle. It's a drop in the bucket. When I asked you to read something, I didn't mean something by Lou Dobbs, or Ayn Rand.. Expand your horizons. Learn.

  • Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the socialist aspects. The government guarantee for their foolish loans was another socialist aspect. Republican attempts to some responsibility to reel in all this foolishness is hardly "government regulation of the markets."

    Keep posting. I'll keep teaching.

  • Sorry friend.. you're a socialist and you don't even know it. I have a feeling that if it weren't for news-entertainment placing labels on things that don't need labels, we'd agree more than you think. Anyway.. this is a good song... this is my last post. Adieu.

  • It's a great song. But I'm no socialist. In fact I was a delegate to the Libertarian Party national convention held in Denver last year.

  • First time I saw this video, I honestly though that was the official video of the song. Very well made. I love NP not my kind of music at all, but with them I make an exception...

  • Love the song but this video is too quirky, it makes me kind of sick actually. They're trying too hard, and the robot thing has been done to death.

  • YEAH MAN let's see you make a better video while in highschool! What else could they of used?

  • this is better than 99% of real music videos.

  • This is a gorgeous little movie.

  • hes cute

  • Kute pornography !

  • Lol, shut up, no one cares.

  • agreed

  • I first thought this was the professional video of the song...maybe duetue my lack of knowledge about this track, but it also shows that you did a great job. I'm very impressed! Excuse me for my bad English, I'm from Germany, but a different country obviously doesn't mean a different taste of music, I love the song!

  • your english is fine. hell, it's better than that of most native-born Americans.

  • hope you got an A for this :)

  • well done!

  • this is really cool

    good job guys!

  • This was really cute.

  • you sound like your trying to do the exact same thing only taking a slightly differant tac.

  • Well I do agree with Jum1801's idea, but not his reasoning. When this video was made it was popular to take shots at bush. But this just seems to be thrown in there for the sake of it. I am by no means a bush supporter, but really did he do anything to attempt to stop you or hinder you from making the video? But yes Jum did seem to just do the same thing they did. Though it was a bit of a knock down to the video to put it in there. Though great video over all =D

  • You did a GREAT job of matching the vibe and feel of the video to the song. Well done!

  • This is pretty damn cool. I always liked the school project videos, and this is definitely no exception.

  • Great song, great job on the video.

    All around greatness, makes me sad to be average.

  • Very Cool, good job.

  • this video makes me smile

    so does this song.

    good times

  • good for you man. stay strong with the suit. space is the place!

  • (P.S. love the sideburns

  • Fan made??? 5/5.

  • Wow. And I thought I loved that song BEFORE I saw this. It's a wonderful video and I love the message, and how you portray it. Not to mention, greatest song in the world.

  • Lovely. If only we could have made videos when I was in high school.

  • haha that was so great :P good job

  • I've noticed this about youtube videos. No one likes live versions of songs. If you have a video and it's one of the few album versions of the song, then your going to get a lot of views.

    Great work on the video. I love this song.

    Also Neko Case is getting a lot of attention these days. Congrats to her

  • This is so UOP

  • Very cool!

  • I like it. You got spunk, kid.

  • I would have made a few more shots and timed cuts to follow the song more, but the idea was there.

    And I'm not exactly sure the content and the song fit, but what the heck! You've got a robot/alien love. No complaints.

  • i'm impressed. honestly.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, that was actually really good.

  • love this song

  • Haha, this is awesome!

  • Nekko carries the band

  • what a dumb thing to say.

  • Thanks, Nekko is a great talent and the NP singles without her contibution are lacking .

  • yeah, she is great but to say she carries the band? your knocking everyone else in it...duh and thats way more rude.i m sure everyone works really hard in this band. besides everyone knows she is into her own thing (sometimes she wont even tour with them) and ac writes all the songs. how do like them appleS? hmm? ;) plus he has producer credits, all she is credited for is vocals..:/

    dont knock the hussle! haterrrrrrrrrrr

  • haterrrrrrrrrrr?

  • and yes, that's what you are.

  • Thanks, shouldn't you be in school?

  • Disagree - said differently: Neko is a great talent who takes ( ie carries) this song to the next level. What are your thoughts on this: WHO HAS A STRONGER VOICE?NEKO CASE OR NATALE MERCHANT?

  • oh tom, i think im falling for you.

  • Thanks but my heart belongs to Neko.

  • it is better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all... :'(

  • I think Neko may never make an album like Natalie's 'Live in Concert', but who will? Taken on her own, Neko has a very individual style and a voice that raises goose bumps... after that, who cares?

  • Though I would agree Nekko adds incredible coloring to the band... but her solo stuff is no where near as good as NP in my opinion. Totally different sound, different comparisons and A.C. Newman is the man. Nuff said.
