[mesupermommy]

Stranger Than Fiction is my favorite movie!!!

[ThePunkroXstar]

Die Toten Hosen brought me here.

[theloveway100]

I never invisioned the girl looking like a oily slut.

[maniamania35]

[bernard543]

Yes very entertaining :)

[ReturnOfTheSkyRaider]

[brunoshulz]

I'm sorry but the super models are unrealistic. I want to see a fat chick.

[SoFreakingLoud13]

[PhotoShyBabe]

[angelleah89]

[charleslauder]

23 people's girls aren't even in Tahiti...

[salsunder]

apachee helicopter???

[81LoisLane]

Great song!But the pictures were perverted.I mean,who rides a Horse with no top??

[theone1991]

I'm glad you didnt used stupid transitions between the pictures. :)

[KatrineKeis]

Love this song, its so true what he sings. Who says the only one lives next door? He/she might as well live on the other side of the world :)

[onionknight777]

Stranger than fiction brought me here. :D

[JusBus2]

@onionknight777 me too

[onionknight777]

@JusBus2 And 42 others. ;D

[aguarneri]

I hate that bitch who stole my heart and keeps on sharing good music that will invevitably and constantly remind me of her. The number of songs is increasing.

:)

[zwalla]

if i was that horse id buck her off and fuck the shit out of her

[TripLxChaos]

@zwalla sounds like you have issues

[kimrox811]

WOO WOO!!!!

[BlueMetalFlower]

I also heard this song in Stranger Than Fiction and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! :D

[valiantifa]

Stranger than Fiction brought me here!Amazing song!!!!

[MrMonsterstiffy]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! You are all idiots! This happens to be one of a scant few PERFECT POP SONGS! Shut up and dance!

[ezio95kal]

21 people never been in love :P

[H0spitaller]

wake up people he is looking for an illusion, an ideal woman, who probably never lived... it's an idealistic song... i love it.

[05junius]

@H0spitaller he never says anything about the ideal woman. he is saying that he would do anything and go anywhere to find the right girl for him, even if she is from tahiti or some place. even though he says he will find her on a beach or some awesome place like the bahamas, he is simply stating what the song is called. he would go around the whole wide world just to find the girl for him.

[jacksawhavoc]

maybe hes not looking specifically for physical beauty but looking like that never kept me from getting interested

[neverbeen2]

one of the best tunes ever recorded :)

[votp24]

i love this

[bennieboii18]

@ButtuhFinguh 2:04 is awesome.

[CIgnoramus]

ah damn maybe that is marissa miller, oops.

[CIgnoramus]

pretty sure thats barr rafeli, i don't get the haters on here, i'd go great lengths for her haha maybe not the whole wide world but ya know... love this song anyway.

[caliguy10]

I love Wreckless Eric's version of, "Whole Wide World." It's such a cool song.

[GalaxyDestroyer77]

lol sports illustrated

[Mlrocz]

I'm from Texas too, and like you, I first heard the song in Stranger Than Fiction and couldn't shake it from my head. I doubt he would've chosen a blonde based on the "warm brown skin" since they tend to look more red when tan. I thought the pics were good and relevant to the artist's serach. Thanks for posting.

[Mlrocz]

I'm from Texas too, and like you, I first heard the song in Stranger Than Fiction and couldn't shake it from my head. I wouldn't have chosen a blonde (if I were interested in finding a woman) but I can't say it isn't what the artist would've wanted. I thought the pics were good. Thanks for posting.

[mother642]

Great Song !



[Jd81c88]

motor boat 

[Jd81c88]

lalallalalalalal obbbbmmmm lallalalala

[Jd81c88]

[66rybeczka]

i love this sooonggg

[whorlicks]

um ,,it a good song ?

woulda prefered pics of glasgow n hull but there ya go .

[RManFlint]

Don't quit the day job.

[sharkmuffins]

showing all these superficial views of beauty contradicts but still cant ruin the point of this song. you're a fucking wanker

[studiesruinedmylife]

Tonight, I am going to learn to play this song

[centralsquaresweetie]

I think Mr. Chuckles has issues with pretty women and feels the need to call them whores. Not nice, Mr. Chuckles.  What have they done to you?

[hockeynasty72]

thumbs up for marisa miller!

[hockeynasty72]

love the marisa miller!!! shes the hottest model on the planet

[smidd90]

@mrchuckles110 FAG

[Totaemuegerli]

Switzerland.... Heard the song first on stranger than fiction, too. Erics voice reminds me of the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten : ) Its sad that Eric didn't get more famous for his great songs... Listen to "The Final Taxi" too.

The bitch pictures are stupid somehow. After all she isn't even really beautiful, she's just naked.

[andcar121]

Sadly I must be knocking on - I saw him on the Live Stiffs tour in (I think) 1977. God it makes me feel old !!

[nop277]

This song is why Stranger Than Fiction was one of my favorite movies of all time

[rammsteinozzfan88]

St. Louis, MO.....whole wide world buddy.

[PenetreraEskimo]

Old favorite song.., from sweden.

[beccawashere45]

This played on the radio when I was a kid a lot. I love this song.

[gurshank]

1.MAKE A HEART WITH YOUR HANDS 2.THINK OF YOUR CRUSH 3.KISS THE HOLE OF YOUR FAKE HEART 4.PUT YOUR FAKE HEART ON YOUR REAL HEART 5.POST THIS ON YOUR FAVORITE SONG 6.TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE

[imelizabeth4]

new favorite song. from north carolina ! =D 

[albertcioran]

i love the song and all the picters, except the sinthetic girl and the helicopter, in my opinion they are not in armoni...

[umbongo82]

A bit annoying Stranger Than Fiction credited this as the fucking Monkees.

[TheMod66]

I think your pictures are a brilliant backdrop to the song. From the quick pictures of the girl timed to the drum and then later with the beach pictures all of which fit wonderfully with the guy having to search the world's beaches for his girl.

[esie32]

I think I like Will Ferell's version more. Great song nevertheless. :)

[dangerjim67]

WTF Apache?! 

[jambi999]

@dangerjim67 Get some! Get some! <-- Forest Gump reference ~.^

[vincewood1]

Not loud enough. 

[soniceardeath]

this song was in Adventures of Sebastian Cole, which came out before Stranger Than Fiction.

[curiouskermit]

I love this song!! Thanks for posting it! And eveybody, stop harshing on the boobs. Men love boobs. It's what they do. =)

[BroodingInferno]

Boobs=Win, even sandy ones! Oahu, Hawaii

[NuitBIanche]

shitty video, but great song



[jerekornder]

There's nothing wrong with topless girls with big boobs. In fact they're encouraged. From Minneapolis, MN.

[plattflytt]

great song! cheers from gothenburg sweden!

[SONILKSONILK]

I'm from Australia, love this song so fucken much! A close guy friend from overseas sent it to me recently, and since then I love it so much. Thanks for uploading, but yeah, the girl is a bit off-topic...

:)

[RikStuh]

:D Stranger than Fiction Thaaank you for this song <3

[davidmarrable]

This is one of the best songs ever written. Wreckless is a lege. Stiif records finest and I was lucky enough to support him back in the 80's

[spicebabbii123]

grows i bet boys only listen to this song to see the girls without their shirts its discostin no offence to the boys though

[NeuralNetProcessor]

@spicebabbii123 ...its less "discostin" and "grows" than your spelling and grammar. and there are other versions of this out there on youtube so quiet down.

[nikolougy]

this is a freaaaking awesome song!! (add me on facebook and we can share music: nikolai lougovskoi)

[ty3165]

coldplay,eat your heart out 

[FfirePlug]

All the comments really do make the world a smaller place, appreciate everyone taking the time to comment good or bad. The SI model was just quick and easy for a beach pict. I know those of you who love the movie feel the Swimsuit model doesn't fit the theme, sorry about that. If I ever have any free time will update it with better picts. Still, My fav comment is- Horse lucky SOB! Laughed out loud.

Thanks again for commenting, try to note where your from. I'm from Texas.

[er6789er]

@FfirePlug - Currently in Ohio - Thanks for the post - Love the song and the visual - Good job providing the masses with an amazing song - Much Love and Peace....

[smaggums555]

@FfirePlug Thanks for the awesome clip I listen to it daily!

I lol'd at the attack hilicopter comment, but when the drums and all kick in its like BOOM!

btw... The SI girls aren't that hard to look at 8)

NYC here.

[gypmeister52]

@FfirePlug You mean me?

[stickkey]

@FfirePlug it's not just about loving movie, smartass.

[mungogubbins]

I've just found out that there is a movie called 'Stranger than fiction' after searching for Wreckless Eric.....................

[aypee16]

marissa miller is soooo hot

[gypmeister52]

that horse is a lucky son of a bitch

[mungogubbins]

@gypmeister52

The horse is a son of a bitch? I wish I'd paid more attention in biology classes...

[gypmeister52]

@mungogubbins X) alright, you get what I mean!

[jbanks4life]

Cant get enough of this ... GREAT SONG!!!

[QueenUptown]

I like Will Ferrell's rendition of this song. :-)

[edwinmodels]

My favourite song on Youtube and the pictures really work well so well done you Craig Brentford West London

[4eyemetalboy]

great song for a GREAT movie. LOVE Will Ferrell's character in the movie so much.

[tsar2000]

I just smile everytime i hear this song :)

[xxwarbringer]

How come the highest rated comment is NOT the one about boobs? lol

[awstrali]

the pics mean nothing...ur woman is herself and the bahamas are whatever u make it..

[acdc14terrace]

What chord does he use when the band joins in??

[danielc121162]

@acdc14terrace it's a 2 chord song E and A the entire way through, 

[mxwl1]

nice song! like nearly all of u, i laughed to it in stranger than fiction :D

[er6789er]

Wil Ferrell is the shit....

[siarung]

great song BUT the vid COMPLETLEY misses the point,revolting,bleached blonde L.A. wannabe porn stars is not what this guys looking for

[danielc121162]

@siarung yeah no shit lol

[llcdrdndgrbd]

@siarung I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what Wreckless Eric wanted.

[Bendomacio]

@siarung dont diss Marissa Miller

[jputnam74]

@siarung One man's porn star is anothers princess! You never know!

[hallenbeck3]

@siarung How do you know what he is looking for? did he tell you? Maybe he wants a bleached blonde L.A. wannabe porn star more than any other girl in the whole wide world.

[siarung]

@hallenbeck3 er... try listening to the lyrics(thats the words to you) you bell-end

[poonUtd1]

@siarung If that girl wanted to be a porn star, she would be a porn star. Believe it or not, posing for sports illustrated is slightly more classy than taking dick(s) on camera. You could be right about her but be a bit more open-minded and stop hating.

[05junius]

@siarung im pretty sure the girl in the video is marisa miller, who is way to gorgeous and classy to be a pornstar. she is one of the hottest models/women alive and gets paid for her looks. she would never have to be in porn and how the hell do you know what this guy is lookin for?? did you ask him? NO. he says that maybe she is in tahiti or on a beach or in the bahamas where some stunning women like marisa live.

[05junius]

@siarung also, he speaks of finding a girl on a beach or in the bahamas throughout the entire song. tons of women that live near beaches or in places like that are super model material. idiot

[TripLxChaos]

@05junius your the idiot for going through with that stereotype as if thats what the song means your ignorant in all of its glory and dont deserve to listen to such a beautiful song if thats what you take from it.

[alliancerunner91]

Good song, but a mediocre compilation. The beauty of a woman is in her personality, what she thinks, what believes, not in her body, mate. And the Apache helicopter? Might be sending the wrong message if you're looking for the love of you life in an attack helicopter :P

[tatty73]

Fuckin Excellent song, 1st heard it when my mate played me the soundtrack to some film (which was mostly shite, bar this wee cracker)

[MissoulaMontana11]

Love iitttttt

[qwerki666]

i like it.

[IxarraSkywalker]

i heard this first on Me Without You.

[UglyToontown]

marissa miller is too much for me... damn...

[Georgettek99]

This is such a beautiful lyrical explanation of all of the growing pains that teenager boys go through. I think its unfair for them that you don't show her great tits.

[Notjustnebody]

I love it and I love Stranger than fiction..

[swordmasterize]

awesome! :D

[Lovrexchic100]

why they white girls? when clearly he says "carressing her warm brown skin" ;P

[3mexico]

@Lovrexchic100 hahah true true

[dela213]

@Lovrexchic100 its called a tan.

[flashavoc69]

I love the original version....the Proclaimers (whom i like) sing it kinda silly actually. My favorite version is from Die Toten Hosen. It's got a newer flare to it. If you like this song check that version out ; )

[paige3406]

this video sucks. but the song rocks.

[luilewis]

im sorry, the proclaimers do not do this song better

[prophetthagreat]

yea the proclaimers could walk 500 miles but wreckless eric went the whole world,they faild,i too,first heard this from""stranger than fiction"" good movie...must see

[thehaydenman]

of course there would be an attack helicopter with missles and all at 1:03

[Georgettek99]

I love this song. I've never seen stranger than fiction. Am I unique?

PS - the Proclaimers tried to cover this but couldn't.

[mrchuckles110]

I kind of want to punch the guy who made this video in the face for fucking up the point of the song with pictures of whores.

[666bigslick]

@mrchuckles110 I defiantly want to jump on your head for calling Jennifer Hawkins a whore.

[BritpopBob]

@mrchuckles110 everyone interprets stuff like that differently you nonce, is the swimwear model not someone you'd go the whole wide world to find? then perhaps you're a different person. wouldn't have thought it'd be so hard to notice tbh. just enjoy the song ffs.

[Timps6]

@mrchuckles110 why discriminate agains't whores, what have they ever done to you?

[Evileater]

@Timps6 coz a whores a trick and a trciks a bitch.

[telefreak2009]

@mrchuckles110 I just listen to the cool song, not watch the images.

[phillyvinilli]

@mrchuckles110 I hear ya. Plenty of pictures of very pretty girls on the internet. He didnt have to use skanky ones from FHM or whatever

[jambi999]

@mrchuckles110 You shouldn't call someone a whore until you have had the chance to meet 'em. You know, sit down and actually converse with them. Otherwise you're just being an ass.

[sharkmuffins]

@mrchuckles110 you fuckin got it, brother

[AndrewLeskovac]

proclaimers suck.

[51swordninja]

the proclaimers do this soooo much better

[PoireauMan68]

@51swordninja I doubt that somehow

[Farglesword]

That was a really great video. The first minute was put together the best though - I really like how you added the pictures of the women at the drum beats at 0:42 and 0:51. That was really clever and sexy.

[PikowRURY]

@axeman

agreed!

[axeman7000]

You see, you only need two chords to make a great song. No speed riffs or flash...just good feelings and emotion.

Nicely done.

[spreaddaluv3]

well said i agree so much

[Pirate88179]

Beautiful!  Very well done.

Bill

[mmainier44]

I really like the way this vid was made - the girls popping out at the high points... and the apache....epic!! lol

[zinc1017]

yeah thats sick!

and wtf beast apache!!!

[gmansi]

"First heard the song in Stranger than Fiction"

Same for me :)

[arkh2701]

@gmansi oh yea.. nice movie

[gmansi]

@arkh2701 yes a lot of us on the same situation, we come here from the movie

[ABurr333]

@gmansi unfortunatley so did i,

but i have become an ardent Wreckless Eric fan snce then and I can now playthis song on guitar

[gmansi]

@ABurr333 do you have a video on YouTube playing this song?

[ABurr333]

@gmansi no

but maybe in the future i will

[ksb78]

Saw this in 'Different for girls' many, many moons ago and have always wanted to know who sang this, but could never find it. Thank goodness for Google and youtube, and you FfirePlug.

[tChymera]

Reminds me of some story about a man named Harold Crick and his wristwatch ;)

[shneiderfku]

The wristwatch who saved Harold Crick?

[tChymera]

*which - yes :)

[MrsScooterWard]

this song is awesome!!

love to hear will ferrell sing it too

[GhostOrchidXP]

Thank you stranger than fiction <3 lol

[axeman7000]

Saw this movie last night and picked up the guitar and learned it. 2 chords....E and A. It's all about the dynamics.

[Georgettek99]

2:42 is the cutest ass this side of Ascot

[timjamharris91]

1:48

[MsEastLos323]

I L-O-V-E THIS SONG. It shows ones true potential and how we would go after L-O-V-E. ITS AWESOME L-O-V-E MAKS YA DO CRAZY THINGS...

[MrGnaes]
