  • LOVE this song! Good vid, I like it.

  • Great (: congrats.

  • I honestly do not see how this video fits the song.. the video is good. Just doesn't fit.

  • You have to be kidding.

  • good idea

  • This is a great video!!! 5 stars!!!!

    There's some simbolism, because the card she gives him with the ring on it is the queen of hearts, and the king of hearts is known as the suicide king, so the queen of hearts is the suicide queen. I'm not sure if that was on purpose or not, but i thought that was cool simbolism. :)

  • AWESOME!

  • LOVE.

  • coool video..

    so good. :)

  • this is actually really good :)

  • yap, this video loks pretty good

    good job!

  • This is very easily the best homemade music video I've ever seen. I LOVE IT!!!

    The magic theme is so fantastic. I love the story. Props for the camera angles and interest. This is just plain great. You guys are fantastic!

  • good video. I thought for a while that this was the actual official video for the song until I started reading comments and details. Well done!

  • This is a very cool video

  • the video is good ;)

  • it's a good video, but i don't think of the song meaning the same thing. at all. :/

  • woahh i wrote a short story kinda like this like a month ago or so!

  • I really like this ^^ very good!

  • This is an awesome video, I especially love the tricks at the end! Great job!

  • yea the vid makes sence with the song but not directly

    this song makes me want to cry i love it so much

    and the vid is better the 2nd time u wach it

  • I love this song, but I wish we could have seen the dresden dollls in this vid, even if they were on the street or something. but still good.

  • I really like this video, very well done.

  • Very beautifully done, good job! :D

  • The song is named "Dirty Business"

    and that's exactly what the music video focused on...

  • I just found out about the DD's today, and i love 'em!!! I missed out the last few years. BTW i found them on lastFM through Nervous Cabaret, a good band as well.

    As for the video, I actually quite liked it. Not as dramatic or theatrical as you would expect from the song, but still, it works on at least two levels. So I don't really see any problems with it.

    Much of love to the Dresden Dolls!!!

  • This is a fan video.

  • No shit, Sherlock.

  • Christ. Every time I post that, some complete dumb ass says that. I was fucking correcting someone who thought it was an actual video from the Dolls. No need to be an asshole about it.

  • ahh you're everywhere it says dresden dolls xD

  • there's nothing wrong with alternative interpretations of music, clearly this song just meant something different to the person who made this video, so rather than complaining about the irrelevance of it, try and appreciate the different point of view this video portrays. if anything, Dresden Dolls are all about interpretation, most of their songs are quite cryptic at times and its easy to apply most of em to situations other than those they were orignally written about.

  • screw the haters. I thought it was an excellent video--this video is what made me fall in love with the song in the first place, and now it's definitely my favourite Dolls song.

    so good on you!

  • video is bollocks..... song is amazing!

  • I don't think it's a bad video, it's just that it doesn't make sense in relation to the song, I think. =/

  • Even though its kinda not related to the song meaning, its a very good video.

  • oh and i THINK she is saying "take that" and "met your match" when shes shouting, it fits in with the song but i dont know... just my thoughts anyways..

    as for what the song means (continuing my previous rant)

    on 'the dresden dolls diary' theres a post where Amanda tells about a ten year highschool reunion... i think this song is linked with that post, shes talking about how everything has changed since shes become famous, or maybe just reflecting on how others treated her in the past,

  • WTF is this about? the video completely strips the song of all its meaning... Amanda Palmer is always really forceful in portaying some sort of message often in a cryptic way, and this song WAS a perfect example of her doing so, til i saw this video and im much disappointed... morons.... now feck off and ruin some other artist's songs..

  • Your right, fan-vids can really spoil the music especially if it's something you really like. this attempt just makes me cringe it's so bad!

  • This was really good

    kudos

  • gggrrrrrrrrrr! you cant make a video as good as the dresden dolls! copycats!

  • that have nothing to do with song dirty business.. they didnÄt get it right or wat?

  • that was an amazing video!

  • the best

  • One of the best bands out there!

  • Hah. cute.

    D:

    I wish people would dress like that all the time!

    /grabs a boa

  • probably my favourite Dresden Dolls song, the video is great, sends a bit of a shiver down my spine watching it too, but thats a good thing here I reckon.

  • where was this filmed? (the outside part) just wondering

  • Looks like Britain. Possibly Edinburgh.

  • It was filmed in High Wycombe by BCUC Students.

  • high wycombe town center

  • is this the true music video?

  • yeah.

  • thank you!

  • No it isn't

  • That guy just looks like he was born to be a magician. Charming.

    Excellent video for an excellent song! (:

  • 3:19 owned, asshole.

    5/5

  • lol

    XD

  • Amazing :)

  • awesome!

  • Wow!!! That was amanzingly cool!!!

  • that is the most awesome thing i have ever seen i love how she is!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is amazing! Well done!

  • amazing

  • love the ending . . . :) queen card.

  • *On friends account- real is ElectricLeech*

    I was sceptical at first, I thought you could've edited it to have darker lighting, but that ending was fantastic, really nice twist. xD

  • WOW!

  • nice =D

  • What's she says during 1.18 - 1.22?

    "JJ... Mickey Mouse"?? :O

    Thanks in advance! I always wanted to know this!

  • good question... ^^

  • i think it says give it back i think xD

  • LOL.

    Sounds like it. But for me she always said:

    "MICKEY MOUSE"

    lol!!

  • lmfao jaja when i read that i heard it and it went back too "dont go...Give it back!"

    hhaha amazing isnt?

  • lol.

    Yeah, Amanda is amazing. :)

    i sent u an mp. I want to know U. great nick btw. ;)

  • lol it does sound like mickey mouse lol.... amazing vid

  • I heard Mickey Mack but I don't know.

  • the editing was well done and the concept was fabulous :]

    plus it's a great song

    i loved it

  • Hmm... The Dresden Dolls minus the subtlety and humor...

  • bravo, encore!!!!

  • hahha

  • yeah thats how i feel as well... :S

  • a sweet tribute. well produced. enjoyed it. good interpretation of the song

  • Lovely interpretation...

  • Loved it.

  • brilliant!

  • very well done

  • this was really good

  • Very well made video. Loved the concept. My only criticism is that the flashes of him hitting her and her being scred in the last 15 seconds (I believe) were a bit overdone and seemed campy. Other than that, just a perfect fit to an excellent Dresden Dolls song.

  • Magnificent video!

  • Where are this band from?

  • Boston, mate.

  • Cheers mate.

  • Can I just say, it ocurred to me it might be Dresden, which would make me look really stupid and I've been wondering whether you might have been having a laugh at my expense. I'm so glad you haven't! I could tell they weren't German, but your reply in it's succinctness, had me wondering! Ah, paranoia!

  • My apologies for your confusion. I thought brief was best.

  • No apologies neccessary at all friend, just thought I'd share how my head works sometimes!

  • Don't suppose this will ever be uploaded in a proper aspect ratio?

  • OMG! What a splendid vid? I love this so much.Makes me love the song more,its ike one of the best vids i have ever seen.love the storyline also. the ending was like a punch in my face.lol

  • ive listened to this video so many times at work but i actualy just watched it for the first time today and realised that its all filmed in High Wycombe! pretty awesome

  • you said you didnt know about the dresden dolls before you made this video?

    thats kinda lame.

    anyways they are one of the best bands to i have ever stumbled upon

  • They're not exactly number one hits, as amazing as they are. Not their fault they hadn't heard of them. :]

    amazing video.

  • me encanto brother muy chido y la voz de amanda palmer es divina pero el video esta pocamadre, in english woooooa is very awesome, I like it

  • SWEET!!!

  • This song and video are awesome :)

  • Wow, this has gotten sooo many more comments since the last time I checked! I made this video as part of my course, and I am the girl. Yes, I really DID disappear, it wasn't clever editing honest!

  • wow very creative1

  • -_-" i have a head ache now. lolz joking i have a head ache of ausomeness with that song stuck in my head ^_^ luff tis song

  • wow GREAT VIDEO

  • that's quite amazing

  • Wow...Now I wanna be a street performer..<.<'

  • Great video. A realy cool idee with the ending in it. Loved it!!!

  • Wow. That was amazing! Great job!

    <3

  • this is such and awsome video!

  • this band is so amazing

  • That was very very good. Bravo.

  • GOD I love this song!!

  • Oh my god, this is a good video, seriously.

  • "shes the kind of girl who leaves out condoms on the dresser to make you jealous of the guys shes fucked before you" ;D !

    thats fuckn hilarious! ;]]

  • haah i love that part tooo

  • me to0 :) xx

  • This is really great. Such a wonderful storyline for a video, and it went so perfectly with the song itself. This almost seems professional. Great job!

  • this is awesome!!! you guys did a really good job. I like the idea of it XDDD

  • Good song, Good video, Good band. 5/5!

  • O my gosh, this video kicks ass, great work, nice idea, very good story telling, the adorable Dresden Dolls!!!

    5*!

  • This is good!

  • Panic at the Disco( the only difference between them & a real band is the pretentious pseudo-intellectual song titles). These dolls are the most original & brilliant thing I've seen in a long time.

  • i need to use that insult !!!! but not about PATD!!!!

  • good vid, but no amanda or brian?

  • this isn't an official video

  • yea i was almost disspointed tha tthey didn't star in the vid

  • that was cool dude

  • That'll just solve a few problems, as far as I'm concerned.

  • fuck off dick

  • i love the ending lol the rest not  so much :x

  • awesome, she totally upstaged the bastard :-)

  • i *like* how at the end the audience doesn't even realize he was going to HIT her with that cane when he pulled the red thing off. but no, not really representing the song, but i love it.

  • That was brilliant

  • i use to know the girl the song is sung about i think...

  • I don't think it's bad, but I don't really think it represented the song. and it wasn't all that much like a music video to me. but you know, of course feel free to like it.

  • loved it i wish i could do that trick while my mom bitches

  • It's not official.

  • wow. went to the favourites. it was just good and artistic, that's all. :]

  • interesting...

    I would almost see this as more of a music video for Delilah. (at least the stuff at the beginning)

    oh well...everyone is entitled to their interpretation :)

  • i love this vid

  • Certainly not what I expected, and definitely not way I felt about the song, but I like the video regardless.

    Very well done.

  • ^_^ Just brilliant.

  • if that girl represented amanda she wouldn't just cry on the couch lolz :/

  • in deed

  • in deed

  • Well, I'd never really heard of The Dresden Dolls when we got given this song to make a video for, so I wasn't supposed to represent Amanda at all, where did you get that idea from?

  • This isn't an official video. It was fan made.

  • Well, duh. Still very good though, I thought it potrayed the song very well.

  • I was replying to someone else.

  • Cool :)I love the guy's costume

  • awesome concept and video design. i give it 2 thumbs way way up!

  • i've seen this exact same comment on all the videos...

    but yes the dresden dolls do rox

  • MAZIN' VID

  • I love the Dresden Dolls...

  • I personally wouldn't have placed this video with this song, but that's just me. The video was very, very well done. The only thing is, with the lyrics of the songs focusing more on the woman in the story, I would have preferred to see more of her in the video. Just a little more story and a little less Magic Show. Excellent video though.

  • I agree :)

  • wow, that was amazing. you have a talent.

  • "She's the kind of girl who leaves out condoms on the bedroom dresser, just to make you JEALOUS of the men she FUCKED before you met her!"

    hahahhaha, amazing.

  • wow this is pure talent

    im watching it for the third time

    very creative, kudos to you

  • w0w that was very nice!! man seriously get your self a job at filming MTVs!! you can do some for amateur bands and stuff for starter, it'll be great. ^_^
