  • lol takin a whiz before singin

  • @DaBunne well it is bathroom sessions :p

  • i love this song SOOO much, every time im bored and have my guitar, this is the FIRST thing i play.

  • @randalthor12345 video??

  • Saw them at Glastonbury this year, it was pissing down but I still had a fab night!

  • I love how page is zipping his zipper when he comes on camera

  • I haven't watched this video in years, and yet listening to it now it takes me right back to the summer 4 years ago when I first watched it. How much life has changed since then. I really wish they were all still together, it's really hard to watch this after all that has happened. But the song is just as great and epic as it was back then.

  • Comment removed

  • All my friends laugh at me when I tell them my favorite band is Bnl....... but when I play some of there songs it gets stuck in their heads for a whole week go figure!

  • "all my stuffs completely natural, and when were dont we'll boil them down for glue that we can use to re-adhere your lips to mine if you were here" this line moves me

  • Barenaked ladies are just the best band in the world. No two ways about it. Love them so much.

  • these guys are one of the greatest canadian bands around its to bad that there not still together

  • Such an understated guitarist.. I could listen to him play for hours.

  • Every time I hear the guitar in this I get really happy and just start smiling. Then when they start singing I squeal a bit and clap. This song is just too good.

  • 10 people are Justin Bieber fans.

  • Thumbs up if Force brought you here. "love it"

  • HAHA! I love that Steve walks on camera buttoning his pants!!... Hopefully it wasn't a duece!! BNL Rock!

  • Love this song.

  • Youtube needs a loop button. :/

  • @Gabumon54321 Google chrome actually has an extension for that :D

  • steve is my favorite

  • I like how Steve so obviously came out of the bathroom or something bahaha

  • @LaurieParizzle seeing as they're in the bathroom (bathroom sessions?) i doubt that he came out of the bathroom! :'D

  • This band has always gotten me out of a bad mood, regardless of the song... I love this band.

  • How about re-adhering these guys together. I'm ready for a reunion tour. Great harmony, equally great song, also some freakin awesome guitar work Ed. I'm going to spend all my practice time to this one.

  • Is there any way to put this on cd? So far youtube is the only place I can find it. I would love to be able to listen to the bathroom sessions anytime anywhere...does that sound weird? lol

  • @KHuetson17 ya a little

  • Love this song!!!! It realy sucks Steven isn't in the band anymore but still BNL is great!

  • One of my favorite BNL songs, quite honestly. This is such a wonderful performance too!

  • The unnofficial Narbonic Theme Song, eh?

    Give me some thumbs up if you got that reference.

  • what does steve play?

  • @jrwall100 He used to play some guitar

  • freaking love this song.

  • I perform a version of this song solo acoustic. I wish it was even half as good as their version.

  • this songs a bitch to play right

  • the team work between ed and steve is so incredible. so sad it's over!

  • BNL has affected the emotional facet of life more than any other artist. Enough said.

  • This is definitely the best version of the song I have heard yet. I love these guys.

  • what chords do you use in the chorus? it's not the same as what i found in a tab. in the tab the first part of the chorus (there's a lot i will never do) it was: G, G/F#, Cadd9, A7 and the second part it was the same except that instead of the Cadd9, it was Em7.

  • I love you guys.

  • @mschowns I'm sure they love you too

  • Men, im just a guy from a world faaar away! but love them so much! Most of all these acoustic, bathroom :) versions :D

  • Absolutely amazing when Steven walks in buckling himself up!!

  • STEVE is the man....omg i love him..miss him :'-(

  • This might sound weird, but I've always associated this song with Steve & Ed's friendship.

    I'm so sad they aren't together anymore.

    They're like the Canadian Lennon/McCartney.

  • @tigerlily219 I never really thought of it that way but I completely agree. Both of them are amazing song writers and deserve more popularity then they've been given

  • @tigerlily219 so agreed with the Canadian Lennon/McCartney comparison!

  • @tigerlily219 I totally agree with this statement. They are so special when they're together.

  • @tigerlily219

    Except McCartney was always a prick...

  • Love this song. BNL greatness. Oh Steve! :(

  • This song, Steve popping from the background and doing up his fly, the positive energy. This is the best of BNL. (Not that Kev, Ty, and Jim don't add a lot.) It'll be sad with Steve gone, but I'm confident they'll keep up the energy.

    I saw a show in Buffalo where they royally screwed this song up and ended up starting over from the beginning. It was pretty amazing.

  • well... he had to do what he had to do. I am just glad that Ed didn't leave. I think he has the better voice of the two, although Steve's voice is also amazing.

  • I love BNL

  • i know. im sad,

  • it makes me sad that he left.... it will never be the same.... :(

  • Something tells me Steve will be back sometime in some form. It's not like he left on bad feelings with the band. He wanted to branch out more, and with the band being less Ed/Steve writing, he had less creative output with the band.

    Also, on the Ships and Dip cruises, Andy is there now, not exactly playing with the band, but that makes me think that it is very possible Steve will at least appear with them on the Ships and Dip cruises.

  • LOL he was zipping up his pants and they are in Ed's bathroom

  • It was planned actually. There are outtakes where Steve enters and he can't stop laughing, and has to do it again.

  • I'd LOVE to see the outtakes...these guys have cracked me up for years!

  • Love these guys.

    Best zip up segway.

  • they are my fav band the lyrics for there songs make them better then any other band EVER

  • these guys r the GREATEST EVER, the way the harmonize is absolutly amazing

  • guitar lick at 1:30 is so cool

  • Favorite song!

  • lol he went to the bathroom!

  • I think thier new material will be brilliant as always but I will miss the voice that i associate most with BNL. Good luck Steve. Can't wait for the new BNL and hope they keep touring.

  • this song is absolutely brilliant. enough said. the barenaked ladies are way underrated. everyone thinks oh yeah they sing "if i had 1,000,000 dollars and one week." If you actually took the time to listen to all of their material you'd see how completely amazing all their music is.

  • @TheMultiPaul you are 100% right :) i listen to their music alot and its all brilliant!

  • The harmony part in this is absolutely fantastic!

  • My sister and I love singing that last part with all the "bye's." I sing Eddie's part and she sings Steven's. We do that on most of their songs. ^_^ we're a bit obsessed. lol

  • While it's sad to see Steve leave, I think it'll be interesting to see how their next album sounds without his influence on the music and lyrics. I have a feeling Jim, Tyler and Kevin will all pitch more than ever to fill the sort of void Steve left behind.

  • I agree. I think Jim will especially have more influence because that's what happened when Steven wasn't there as much for Born On A Pirate Ship. :)

  • You know, I never got that album. I should really get it.

  • I dont want to make the rest of the group feel insignificant but these two guys WERE the barenaked ladies, the first time i ever saw them, it was Ed and Steve on MTV playing if i had a 1,000,000$ live. And i honestly believe it will not be the same without Steve.

  • *sigh* it's a terrible thing to say because all the other guys do so much but it's true that these guys are insane together and as a pair they practically define the band. I mean, just this video shows how great they are together. It's going to be so different now : (

  • This song I believe is the one that show Ed and Steve's chemistry at it's best! they were fantastic together, and it's a shame that Steve left, but I think that all we BNL fans shouldn't dwell on the past and focus on the future. I for one am looking forward for their next album!

  • Hmmm, well it's not so much of us dwelling on the past as hoping he comes back, which i bet he will, who wouldn't? :)

    But then again i get what you mean, and i as well am looking forward to their next album, there will probably be more rap judging on how good at rapping ed is. XD

  • This is my favourite BNL song. It's sad that Steve has left, but I think we'll see him in BNL again. I sure hope so.

    It's funny, you think of BNL and the first thing I think of is Steve, but the more I listen to them over the years I realise how phenomenally talented Ed is as well. BNL will be fine without Steve, but they'd be better with him :)

  • I agree, it's sad that he's left, but i'm so glad that they're carrying on.

    Gonna miss his voice though, it's so unique

  • LMAO. i love how steve just pops out of nowhere XD.

    so sad that he left the band :(

  • This song always gets me out of a bad mood without fail. I had a bad day at work today, hearing about some stuff about this girl I really like. I listened to this song on my way home and I perked right up once the lyrics started that I started laughing and almost cried from the relief. BNL forever.

  • Perfect comment

  • @Poxell91 I agree. It is a special song. I find that this acoustic version of the song is the best I have heard; better than the original in my opinion. Classic BNL.

  • i luv this song!!

  • Ed Robertson is an incredible songwriter, some of the chords he puts together are unbelievable

  • Ed and Steven wrote 99% of the songs together.

  • Yea, I think Steve is more of the lyricist / singer but I might be wrong. steven page is an amazing vocalist though one of the best in Canadian music

  • very true, he had a very specific,distinct, rare voice :) none other like his from what I've heard so far :) I shall miss it

  • it looks like steven was zipping up his pants, was he just taking a piss or what?lol,jk

  • Well they are called the bathroom sessions ;)

  • rotflol. gotta love em.

  • This band sux when the original lead singer left its just not the same!!

  • Ed is the original "lead" singer is he not?

  • Ed and Steve were co-lead singers, but in the group's early days, Steve sang the majority of the leads. I even read an interview with Ed a while back where he said Steve was the lead singer, and Ed was more like the "assistant lead singer".

  • this is such an amazing song

  • I cant believe Steven left the group. Sad. What a great band.

  • why did steven leave?

  • He wanted to make his voice known, so he left to start a solo career. There was also that drug scandal, and Barenaked Ladies is known for being a "child-friendly" band. He might have been asked to leave because of the scandal, or he chose to leave so as to not hurt the image of BNL.

  • ok thanks i mean im a massive bnl fan but for some reason i never get any news about them lol, sad that steven left but i can see why he wants a solo career :)

  • steve was never asked to leave, he decieded to leave and focus on the vanity project

  • I know, but it just doesn't feel right without him as a part of the band. I'm REALLY sad about that. Not that Ed isn't brilliant too, but together they were perfection!

  • This is scarily good.

  • I always see them when they come through town but now that Steve left, it just won't be the same. Maybe after a year or so he'll come to his senses and return.

  • My dad and I are already anticipating the reunion tour :D

    It'll be great :)

  • oooo i know me too! ^_^ i just hope its really really really soon. like tomorrow.

  • I wish he hadn't left :(

  • ew he didn't wash his hands

  • me and my cousin sung this song on stage with them when i was 7 in baltimore

  • You're amazing!!!

  • lmao steve. nice

  • they have kept me alive inside... thank you.. they are the best....

  • haha i love how steven walks in around 0:35 zipping up his pants

  • hehe you should see the outtakes! they had to do that bit about four times! :P

    x

  • lol i enjoyed that too haha hope he washed his hands after right? lol

  • i luv this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i want to marry Ed Robertson

  • So do I. Damn shame he's married with kids. I met hime once and he was really nice.

  • simply awesome song... love the Barenaked Ladies!!!... They're amazing songcrafters, and the vocals are gorgeous... Love the bathroom sessions... Thank you for posting...

  • I completely forgot about this song

    so glad I found it :D

  • These guys sound better unplugged than any other band in any studio.

  • such a classy entrance steve

  • 1:16 and 1:26 are my favorite parts.

  • this song stopped me from commiting suicide

  • if you are depressed over the stock market or money, you are not alone there are a lot of people in the same boat... if it is a girl, hang on - a nicer one is always around the next corner. keep your stick on the ice, and your head up. ;)

  • ... just tired

  • @lolgiggetyroflomg omg really?

  • This is a great song

  • LOL! Did he just went to the bathroom?

    If there is a answer... plaese don't tell me.

    Sweet!!!!

  • First of all, your grammar is terrible... "Did he just went to the bathroom?" Second, why ask the question if you don't want an answer?

  • Ha Ha Ha Ha! :0)

  • my god, that was amazing... I used to listen to Stunt all the time but had forgotten about this song...wow :)

  • I need to get into this band. Like, seriously into. WAY seriously.

  • the world and my life are better places because of these two men. they should be knighted or sainted or something.

  • a long time ago when a mate of mine said: mate lissen to this incredible band. i lissen to them and though they was the worst crap i ever heared. dint think about it more after that. but latly im totaly in love wiht BNL. totaly one of my favorits!! BNL<3

  • All Fantastic!

  • much better than the album version for sure

  • Exelent.

  • awesome.

  • Brilliant.

  • i love kevins face when he does the "bye bye bye" thing, he looks so into it, it hilarious. LOVE YOU KEVIN!!!!!my idol! haha, nah,both you guys are so talented, and im crazy impressed with Ed's playing. for like 2 minutes of the video i just sat and watched his fingers. great song, great, album, and crazy talent. CANADIAN TALENT IS THE BEST!!!!! my uncle's in the tragiacally hip, and he loves you guys, haah. keep it up!

  • thats steve page not to be rude just saying kevin plays bass steve is lead singer

  • not to be rude but Jim plays bass, Kevin plays keyboards :)

  • Dbl pwnage!

  • hahahahahaahaha highlyrevolved you made my week

  • Not to pick nits, but Kevin also plays the electric guitar.

    barenaked ladies pinch me maroon 2002 cbc

    are the tags for his guitarsolo reference ^^

    It's pretty awesome if I might say so

  • He plays the accordian and mandolin too, (and I bet he could play the ukulele and a balalaika if he wanted to! :) good to see a BNL fan in the Nethelands!

  • Hehe, you can't imagine how long I've been waiting for them to pay a visit to my lovely country.

    Steve can smoke some of our famous grass with me, IT'S LEGAL HERE STEVE! =D

    And yeah, Jim is quite the multinstrumentalist ^^

  • You mean........Kevin.....right? :) Although Jim is quite the bassist, what with the standup bass and all, I'm sure he can play more instruments too!

  • Yeah, in addition to being one of the world´s greatest bassists (I think Jaco Pastorius is the only better one), Jim is a capable guitarist, capable pianist, and a very talented singer.

  • The Brothers Creeggan sadly don't have a great quality video out here on YouTube. They have one where they sing on the Chips 'nd Dips tour with Ed and Tyler (hilarious classic Tyler opening) worthwhile checking out. Also, Jim wife's a small vocal roll in the song Anna on the Moon.

    Polliwog in a Bog is also sang by Jim, as well as Peterborough and the Kawarthas. He has a soothing voice, and when you hear him sing you wouldn't be surprised he named on of The Brother Creeggan albums "Sleepyhead"

  • I got to meet Jim and Andy in Salt Lake City when they toured for "Trunks". I asked Jim when they got on stage, and he said "Oh Aboot 11 o'clock"....I couldn't contain my grin when he said "about" like "a boot". :)

  • Hahaha, I bet you watched South Park the Movie too. =DDD

    Where did you meet them and did you only asked when they were gonna play? =O

  • "it's aboot dignity, it's aboot respect!" :) yes I totally watched that movie! It was so cool, I knew they were playing a Jazz club, and I was downtown having dinner and I knew they were playing the club, so i stopped by at 8 PM and standing right at the entrance talking to the doorman was Jim. (He's tall!) So I shook his hand, and asked him what time they took the stage. He was really cool, and later I met Andy, he was nice too!

  • I also met Steve, Ed, and Tyler in front of the House of Blues in New Orleans in 1996!

  • Amen to Canadian Talent!

  • such talent. all around good music. any one know what kind of guitar Ed is playing? it's a beaut.

  • Looks like a Taylor Guitar

  • Its a special edition Taylor. You can tell from the symbol on the headstock.

  • Sorry, limited edition.

  • No, not a limited edition Taylor. Just a 910 in sunburst with what may or may not have been the standard inlay on the headstock at the time it was made.

  • I loved this video ^_^

  • Me too - just glad his clothes are on - since it's a bathroom and all ;-)

    I have a new-found respect for this band and their terrific lyrics.

  • Top Notch--BNL ROCKS!!!

  • ahah how funny

  • this was the best cd ever adn my favorite as a little kid, ever since it came out

  • Been to see these guys live a few times now and it's very rare that you find a band that play live and sound as perfect live as they do on their studio album. Some of the tightest and effortless i've ever had the pleasure to hear!

  • this is such an amazing song. I hope they are around forever and never stop playing their wonderful music.
