Wilco & Popeye - "Dawned On Me"

[TheRossPRN]

Sometimes Popeye just doesn't have enough spinach... :c

[LeoCastell4]

Cute video, but why does Tweedy look like he just had plastic surgery?

[surfcantabriaTV]

Is spinach a doping..?

[Bossm4n]

The baby is not cute!

[Jauckor]

Hey, this is good.

How do you did it?

Well done, mate.

[Heinekren]

Popeye is playing the part of Jay Farrar.



[visioneerone]

its a series of animated .gifs. Sad, really.

[MrUndersolo]

I guess Radiohead can now use the talents of Hanna-Barberra. But seriously, I like this one!

[pswalk3r]

Awesome



[sugarmagnolia506]

I love the song. However as a child I always thought Olive was stupid. She does that einstein theory of insanity. Repeating the same thing over and over expecting different results. Kinda like me. HA! I crack myself up. And still I think shes stupid. Perhaps insane. Yea yea its a frigging cartoon. Take a chill pill.

[VALENTINEproductions]

POPEYE FAN FILM SHORT. check that out!

[IIGreyhound]

In between frames? We'd have to pay a whole other guy for those! We can do without!

[VALENTINEproductions]

the song doesnt bother me, but the animation is blah. Popeye deserves better. And in some shots they clearly traced over old animation.

[niksur]

it would have been much better without the band.. good idea anyway

[WhoGivesARatsAss1]

Oh, they ripped off the verse melody from "Like A Virgin".

Always a good indication that a band's well has, by no means, run dry.

[walkersam]

oof... why did they have to include the band in this? they could have at least animated them in the same style as the popeye characters... tweedy looks like michael jackson's corpse... NOT flattering

[szobi25]

great that Ppeye is back, shame for the music

[AvocadoTomato]

@szobi25 Better than 90% of modern music.

[szobi25]

@AvocadoTomato its true, shame for the most of modern music too:)

[technodubstep]

had to lower the quality to get that back then feeling

[therapsids]

wtf is that bass standing on?

[seifukusha]

can you hear me applauding loudly? CAN YOU?!? wow, that was the best!

[dirtyrockeu]

You are best guys!!!

[traceymod]

BRILLIANT TRACK-GREAT CONCEPT.LOVE THE WHOLE RETRO ANIMATION,CLEARLY SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO GET IT OR WAY TOO PRECIOUS...ANYWAY I LOVE YOU GUYS! WHEN YOU COMING TO UK OR SWITZERLAND?

[LMAODANCE]

nice vid & awful song

[traceymod]

@LMAODANCE How can you say awful song-this band are legends!

[Ivan2dope12]

Popeyes had a son hes name?....Chuck norries

[TheChicagoEnigma]

Sweet pea is an orphan.

[BeezoHow]

Where the hell did "Sweat Pea" come from, anyway? Who's baby is that? Lol! 

[johnwaynesfoot]

@BeezoHow According to Wikipedia, "In the comics, Swee'Pea is a baby found on Popeye's doorstep (actually delivered to him in a box) in a 1933 strip."  Pretty good article, look under Swee'Pea. "In the strip for August 17, 1933, Popeye christens Swee'Pea as 'Scooner Seawell Georgia Washenting Christiffer Columbia Daniel Boom'. Although Swee'Pea remains his most common sobriquet, he is occasionally referred to as Scooner by Popeye and others in later strips."

[BeezoHow]

@johnwaynesfoot Cool! Thanks!

[BeezoHow]

Very cute! When I was a 'runty' little kid and not especially fond of spinach my Grandfather told me that I would be strong like Popeye if I ate my spinach. That's how he got me to eat spinach. Thank goodness my arms don't look like Popeyes! Haha!

[mm091540]

i liked this song even better when it was called "alright" and played by supergrass.

[sellout87]

@mm091540 you're not trying to say they sound alike are you?

[OliviadeMoraes]

@mm091540 I couldn`t put in better words! haha

[mattman417]

@mm091540 ditto

[CammyCartoons]

As an animator this is disgusting to me. >.> I lasted for like 60 seconds.

[Dannyfrenchsfp]

@CammyCartoons yeah totally... i lasted 4 minutes and three seconds

[trainrexmaximus]

@CammyCartoons You're not an animator. You're a graphics programmer with little sense of history. We can tell.

[traceymod]

@CammyCartoons dont take yourself too seriously-its supposed to look retro. Grow up

[neilton93]

perfect

[anggaraary333]

nyam nyam spinach. .

[drowsyillmatik]

hahah this is some trippy shit doe

[Gawiga]

Everyone who supports SOPA dislike this video.

[nakidsoul]

How come Sweet Pea resembles Whimpy?

That woman is a total hoe...

[cindabook91]

I loved Popeye as a child and would sit and watch it everyday.

[paawit]

[thatssomething1]

@paawit I love my spinach with sriracha - even more strength

[paawit]

@thatssomething1 ฮ่าๆๆๆๆ ชอบเผ็ดมากหรือเผ็ดน้อย

[Ferocinator]

Popeye will always be at the top of his game to me.

[mimo0791]

@lexflins yes, the melody to the verses is very similar, but the Rutles song doesn't have a chorus. I'd chalk it up to a coincidence.

[juanitah87]

Olive Oyl Is a friggen Tart anyway! Popeye could do a lot better!

[b0rg9]

Needs more Alice The Goon.

[lexflins]

Rutles' rip off there?

It sounds a lot like 'I must be in love'...

[jstep1973]

It's great and simple and reminded me of all those popeye cartoons I watched.

Popeye would've beat you all down at the end, but otherwise, well done!

[marc11864]

What? No Seahag?

[krinkly]

like the concept, but c'mon... not right to take popeye's gal. not cool.

[EvilDeadFan1995]

@krinkly That ruined it for me.

[swansong200]

@krinkly shes a lesbian anyway.

[nlpnt]

@krinkly: Sue Miller? Is that you?

[overlundd]

Nels Cline using Swee Pea as a slide=unreal

[BestofNYCMusic]

Dammit Jeff why you taking Popeye's woman?

[NightFly54]

This video was a lot of fun and done well.

[pswalk3r]

Awesome!

[TheArtattacks]

Sweet!

[8lig]

NEEDS MORE LISP!!

[8lig]

Wilco spinach keeps you awake during their songs.

[chicagomusicexchange]

Absolutely incredible! 

[hualter]

looks like a fan made video....bad script

[xtcpino]

To the 20 boobs : Lighten up, Francis.

[saddiago]

Wilco always get the girl

[achefefreitas]

cute *_*

[mrjagoff]

First hand drawn Popeye cartoon in 30 years.

[maxhalley]

Fail!

[registradus]

why is all this shit always made on computer and got a million filters applied over the top.?looks like shit. just draw it an animate it you fucks. or do something else.

[whosjohndonut]

good stuff



[dwaxman88]

Why does Jeff Tweedy look like Billy Crudup?

[TheTravisLindsay]

Olive Oyl you c#nt!

[bosconet1]

I LOVE it!!!

[asdfxcxv]

This is fucking bullshit Popeye would have murdered Wilco, this cartoon is utter rape

[rochatter]

@asdfxcxv Tossing out "rape" in regards to Wilco merely demonstrates what an utter douche you are little man. And Popeye would have kicked your sorry ass for saying such a thing. Now go back home to Alice the Goon like a good boy...

[Galactus78]

You'd think after 80 years, Popeye and Bluto could just hug it out.

[DistractedByPixels]

@Galactus78 Just like Jay and Jeff.

[rangerbradchaplin]

I love this!

[mocrg]

Olive Oyl you are so fickle

[SizzlechestXXX]

The animation sucks.

[registradus]

@SizzlechestXXX so so bad. no problem with the concept. just do it right...

[jstep1973]

@SizzlechestXXX The concept of hand drawn is lost.

[jasobres]

They're strong to the finich, cuz they eat their spinach! They're Wilco the sailor band! (TOOT TOOT!)

[you223299]

水手哥的黑白版,憶無比的心壞...+樂曲動聽圓融!

[ChopsForBohemians]

...Oh ~ Swee' Pea ~ C'mon and dance with me ~ C'mon C'mon C'mon and daannce with meeeee_

[launderground]

we love wilco.

[punkyjunkaz]

I still don't hear the "Like a Virgin" comparison that people keep making. I think Madonna's the last artist from whom Wilco draws inspiration.

[uncletupelotavern]

bravo

[jlkrashin]

Why would Tweedy try and get Olive over Popeye? He should have helped him fight Bluto? I like the concept, but it wasn't really done right.

[TubeSalvation]

watch?v=ysNd4QGOgeY

[BungleFunk]

2:10 ..sick distortion solo.

[thedripreview]

John Stiratt isn't blonde :(

[betterdays105]

I'd have thought that Olive Oil would go for Nels!

[thatssomething1]

I will gladly play you Tuesday for a Wilco song today

[bsbob52]

Excellent ! Love all these guys !

[Iamhippycat]

Grade A Fancy!



[ardee1980]

LMAO. They made Jeff Tweedy look like a movie star. If that movie star is Kevin Pollak.

[rhkendall]

Olive is stunning, no wonder Bluto has the horn!

[riffman1218]

That was awesome!

[karenaidala]

<3.

[thenoiseking]

Lmao, Nels doing some avant-garde Swee'Pea playing.

[myjestik1]

damn, even popeye is getting a divorce?

[armadrum]

great idea and great song :)

[andsoishongo]

1. Skip to 0:24

2. Think of "Like a Virgin"

3. ???

4. Profit!

[mailgeoffrey]

@andsoishongo yeah not sure what you're talking aboot.. Madonna is probably one of the last people to draw inspiration from... BEP YES! Material Girl NO!

[reignking1]

@andsoishongo Somebody has been smoking too much spinach...why are people criticize..this is a fun concept..get over yourselves people...

[caseydog237]

This made my day. Great song and immensely entertaining video.
