Barenaked Ladies - Easy [Official Music Video]

[Marqu17]

Great song ! Great band from a great country ! check out another good artist from Canada ! up and comer. Search Cory Marquardt on the tube. Enjoy !

[jockvideos]

I hate myself for never knewing this band existed. I thank my friend WITH THE BIGGEST FREAKING BARBAQUE OF HIS LIFE (Not really) for downloading "One Week" on my MP3. A friend of mine died not to long after him downloading it, and playing it makes me feel happy, like my friend forgives me of any wrong I've done, and he's waiting for me ( Knowing he'll want to tackle me again), anyways this band makes me live life to the fullest, I'll keep on listening to them.

[BaileyAwesomeSmile]

OMG I spazzed out when I heard this son in Publix.

[freeeekyyy]

Funny how tastes change. I used to hate this band when I was younger.

[andrewbautista23]

fuck, i run out of breathe when trying to sing "easyyyyy" in the chorus.

i can't sustain my breathe like Ed does lol.

[anamoebacorn]

why would anyone dislike this video? because it's easy! well, so is liking it...

[SuperTigressa]

Heard the songs before but never knew the band. Don't read teen magazines or watch MTV. These guys are great, I'll listen to more. For you younger ones out there, check out the group THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS,

[fifyfofanna53]

love it. Great for sunny days, rainy days, lovely days, happy days. and all the in between

[QiaoYanLin]

love it ^^

[Simsrforever]

Does everyone here know this song is in simlish (sims 2)

for all who doesn't know what it is it's an OBSESSIVE game and i'm not joking ask any other sim fan!!!

[Noelegy]

@Simsrforever I knew it as a Sims song before I realized it was an actual song!

[Simsrforever]

@Noelegy Lol

[jacobzeier]

I like this song!

[ThatRubikGuy]

This is the song. There are thousands of songs about love, passion, attraction. But this is the song that expresses perfectly how I feel about her. Because this is the ultimate love song. To be with the other person is just so... easy! No matter what happens, you always end up back together because it's just natural. You don't have to force it, you don't have to plan anything. You are just together and it's easy, simple and beautiful. It's the best thing you can feel towards another person.

[irok30278]

@ThatRubikGuy

This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless!

[rantoniosk8]

@irok30278 I heard some guy yelling that in the motorpool holding his M4... his group of people arent that smart

[rantoniosk8]

@irok30278 I heard a guy yelling that in the motorpool holding his weapon. hes not a bright guy... and his group of people that he works with arent smart either :(

[musicalman1995]

Sims 2 :)

[MusicallyInclined101]

All in favor of abolishing the Dislike button? What purpose does it serve, honestly? To me, all it is is a stupid trigger to spread hate, and conflict.

[paulcyr22]

I think steven leaving was a big mistake on his part...he will never have the success that he did with bnl. There are a on ly handful of people who can breakaway from their bands and do it solo. Also to do it as a Canadian act is even harder

[ImYourJimHalbert]

@paulcyr22 He was kicked. He didn't just leave

[paulcyr22]

@ImYourJimHalbert i think i was 50/50

[Kemorowolfrain]

@paulcyr22 sometimes if we find what we need success is never what we look for

[paulcyr22]

@Kemorowolfrain but no one does acting, music etc to not make money...and to make money means being in the limelight......anyone who says they don wanna be in that positions is lying.

[d34thiseternal]

@paulcyr22

I would rather be poor than in the limelight. There are numerous millionaires that you don't know their names. They are rather anonymous. So, there are always exceptions.

[Lovesong998]

Just listened to this song..... Absolutely AMAZING, like all the BNL songs.

[Arafit]

love this band now :)

[10sSal]

Awwww.. Steven's in a little rocket all alone....

[TheBlackStar999]

This song is beautiful, but it makes me sad that Steven Page has left. The band will never be the same. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but those kids who did their first video in a MuchMusic video booth are gone forever.

[NynaeveSedai]

Always loved this song.

[drpeppa2357]

That skank Ke$ha can't touch this talent.

[jp30joe]

five guys flying around in rocket ship thingies... who cant love it?

[LazerPanther]

This is still pretty much one of the only things I like from the "Barenaked Ladies Are..." albums.

[kurdt1000]

my ex girlfriend used to hate this song. fuck that bitch

[angus3100]

these dudes are so cool and easy to listen to.long live ed and the ladds!!!

[CommentCity]

I think the artwork has a Lane Smith style to it. Although it has a Terry Giliamesque type of animation.

[mygoodnessmyguiness]

Oooo kinda Terry Gilliamesque animation. Not bad song too. Like the guitar a lot.

[evan123456]

How can someone not like this song?

[zeineguy]

so great to see so many people love the BNL!! I remember them when they first started out, became my favorite band and have remained that way thru time.

[saracoledaily]

love this song ...it's smooth and easy

[drpeppa2357]

I have no idea how the music video is supposed to relate to the song. But i love it anyway for pure originality.

[djdragoneyes]

BNL for life

[454plays]

herinthe bronx you are so full of shi! I've seen them as afour piece at the orpheum theatre in minneapolis and at an opem theatre in Kansas City. They absolutely rocked both shows. The new stuff goes in so any different directions and i love all> I've converted my brother(a musican), son< hubby, and father to the new line-up!

[angus3100]

that sure looks like terry gilliam from monty pythons handiwork on this video!love it!

[usergently]

Greatest band since the Beatles. I know, you can judge me, I don't give a flying fuck in space.

[mattcol99]

This has scientifically be proven to be true. Its a fact.

[TotodilePkmnLover]

what type of animation is this its the same kind of animation in the ghost whisperer opening

[Aliothebeast]

absolutely my all time favorite song of theirs and in my top 5 over all songs

this song seems to be there when i am having troubles and i listen to it and i just remember to make it easy

[hereinthebronx]

FORGET SEING THESE GUYS IN CONCERT

what is ed gonna sing,one song ....with out steve it's just not worth it

this album will do ok,but mark ma words,2 years from now this band will be history.

[RoadDoggNTB]

@hereinthebronx - I felt similar to you, but ended up going to see them in concert and was pleasantly surprised. Having never been a huge fan of Ed leading the vocals in the past, I went into the concert expecting very little and instead got one hell of a great show. I now have a new found respect and appreciation for both his vocals and versatility. It's not the 'same' BNL, but it is as strong as ever. You should make the attempt to seem them live - that way you'll know for sure. All the best.

[pickledeggfan]

I love it, but I cannot download it, damn itunes.,.,

[Madara2B]

thinks there are only a handful of people out there whenever they make a song its like I CAN'T HATE IT these guise r in dat catagoire the ninjas is my fav from them lol

[FireBoom1]

How can you not be happy after hearing this? i just got over a break up and this is makin me happy :)

[VulgarityDivine]

@FireBoom1 It's not a happy song

[Xirbtt]

@VulgarityDivine That's the power of music. People can interpret the song differently. So if it's happy to someone it is for them. Even if the literal interpretation would say otherwise.

[VulgarityDivine]

@Xirbtt and can interpret the song as a happy song but it's not and that's not what the artists had in mind you can think it's a happy song but you'd be wrong

[Xirbtt]

@VulgarityDivine You'd be wrong for a literal interpretation indeed. But what I was trying to get at is that the same song can mean loads of different things for different people. What emotional triggers does it pull at people's hearts, there's always the "original idea" that created it and it's meaning but what it means to other people make it special.

That's what makes it transcend its own idea into something greater.

That's what makes it ART.

[VulgarityDivine]

@Xirbtt I'll accept that

[FireBoom1]

@VulgarityDivine eh... so :P

[girl1313]

I just saw them in concert last week, and that are SO great at performing! I would totally see them again! : )

[MusakMike]

Awesome video, but the song is even better :P P.S look at 2:28. i think i saw osama! I FOUND HIM! :D lol.

Barenaked ladies 4ever, awesome since the 1990s

[NightAngelus]

song is sweet but like a lot of their vids its a bit crazy/weird

[redfishradical]

Let's face it. While the Bare Nakeds can come capture fantastic, addictive melody lines it's their clever wordplay that has, and will continue to set them apart and above most of the generic, built to sell mtv-friendly garbage out there.

I mean, how many rockers know the meaning of the word obfuscate much less can use it in a song!

Peace ot music fans!

[usergently]

******

[TheNerdyasian101]

This is what im talking about... GREat music... feels like i'm a kids again, even tho im a teen haha but still feels like im 5 and FREE!!

[oceanshannon]

instant anthem. just classic baby. love this so...xxx

[BigPhilWorrall1991]

really well written

[usergently]

BNL ROCKS!

[lisakfreer]

This is one of my favourite songs ever by bnl.

[wjohnson505]

I have to say I disagree, I feel the video fits the song, If you realize what the different scenes in the Video represent (I.E fairy Tales, jack and the beanstalk, Rumpelstiltskin, etc.) they then add there own twist onto the scenes to represent the theme, "Easy", It takes a couple times watching to find all the small details put in, very well made video, that fits the song.

[limkgoku]

wtc i hope this is not the real video but then it might b if u know bnl they make weird videos but good songs

[yomominbed101]

one weird ass video

[thegeneral011]

hold on.... was this video a shot at steven page?? like at the beggening it looks like page is the king and damning all the other members to the dungeon???

[genefever898]

@thegeneral011

nah this was before the split. when things were about to split. each member choreographed their own parts.

[wjohnson505]

I will never get tired of listening to the Barenaked Ladies

[AliveWithLoveTonight]

i know right ? <33

[janeyish]

i love them so much..the kids songs are great too....this video was kinda on the dark side ...didn't like it to much..but the song is great as usual

[SupernaturalKinji]

As ever, I love the song. I have loved BNL for longer then I can remember. I grew up listening to them.

The video TOTALLY doesnt fit the song though. lol

[Ducttaper]

agreed the vid totally doesnt say "Easy"

[redfishradical]

Absolutely love the galloping rhythm guitar. I love these guys in general, but this song was just outta site! And their usual intelligent wordplay is of course right there also! Easily one of the least pretentious or self-agrandizing "intelligent" rock bands ever! Damn, every song is a joy to hear melodically AND lyrically!

Sorry some of the BNLs left the nest, but they're still an original cool drink of water in a desert of derivitive MTV approved landscape of formula music!

Rock on!

[deathnotelvr92]

bare naked ladies left hte nest?! :(

[CabWall]

@redfishradical Check out BNL Bathroom sessions. Wicked.

[thorntonlover19]

@redfishradical good for you!

[vagvaf]

the video reminds me of Monty Python :)

[Deshara218]

And now for something dif-- OH GOD MY LEG, HE RIPPED OFF MY LEG, HELP

[Deshara218]

Public Service Announcement: Monty Python were masters at doing the unexpected, and worked hard at not having a set joke.

Please promote surreal humour and use your own jokes.

[Deshara218]

The Chorus around 2:10 reminds me of Into the Ocean

[Triforcecwp]

all the BNL videos are odd

[silverchickenbat]

Actually, I think it is a great song about the frustration of being in love, but the video is extremely weird...

[Fyzzikz]

heres a tip, if you don't like the video, look at something else.

[silverchickenbat]

this video IS garbage, but the song is still good. Why so down on dude's opinion?

[QueenBeeBeeMarie]

Umm,people Barenaked Ladies are not on drugs lol.They are really cool guys who are also comical.

[luneth34]

mates stop judging, yes he was coke user but they were very good on their music :|

[THDGrrrlsRock]

For crying out loud! It is an imaginative video that explores the lines between fantasy, fairy tales, reality, and dreams.

Stephen Page wasn't the one in charge of choosing video concepts! Let it go!

[luneth34]

agreed mate, its true about the coke thing, but they're music still is awsm

[MasterOuiukiske]

Cocaine can make you draw mechanisms, rusty fish hooks, blood, and diluted oil.

[Pwnacles]

i wasnt judging anyone, never have, never will, i know plenty of awesome people who do drugs, and MasterOuiukiske, ive seen the effects of coke first hand, i have no clue what youre talkin about

[shneevels]

I've seen the effects, too. Not pretty. Awesome people turn into morons on drugs. I've lost friends to drugs. Nothing awesome or funny about it. And just in case you think drugs are cool, take another look at Curt Cobain, Peter Doherty, Amy Winehouse, Joplin, Hendrix......the list of "greats" goes on and on.....and none of them great anymore. No one who does drugs is awesome.....they are only losers in the end. The only ones laughing about it are the rich dealers.

[spqromanus]

Look at how terrible Metallica became after they stopped doing coke.

[shneevels]

Ahhh. So the only thing that matters to you is what they can do for you..huh? Who cares if they throw their lives down the shi**er, just so long as they churn out good music? That's pathetic.

[spqromanus]

Not at all. It's certainly the right decision for them to stop doing drugs/abusive drinking. But recognize that they'll never have the same creative talent as when they did.

[shneevels]

Bull....I get so tired of this "drugs makes you more creative" narrative in the pop culture. It's just an excuse to do drugs. Some of the greatest composers in history (Handel, Bach, Mozart) didn't do drugs.

How do you know bands will be less creative when they're sober? Most bands haven't even tried.

[cclbrules]

on the other hand, how would you know? unless you did drugs which makes you a hipocrate, so either way you cant really win

[guardcorp]

shneevels are you fucking kidding me?

First off amy winehouse was never great okay that's out of the way.

Curt Cobain and Hendrix are fucking gods. They will always be great and amazing.

you are just a hater, some of the greatest people did drugs such as Aldous Huxley, Romedios Varo, Andre masson and recent still alive and well people like Alex Grey.

Oh and if you lost friends to drugs except from death then your not a real friend so it doesn't really matter.

[shneevels]

You're an idiot! Stoned agin', huh?

[guardcorp]

Wow what a statement. That just... yeah that's a good way to prove your point. Keep at it genius.

[agentcade]

your my new best friend. not a stoner personally but still. but just cause im naggy and a huge Cobain fan: his first name is spelt Kurt (or Kurdt if your going by Nirvana's first album).

[Pwnacles]

Cocaine doesn't do anything that would make a video turn out like This. They must have been on LSD or another Hallucinogen of some sort (more than likely not shrooms)

[benzinhuhn]

or maybe they were just creative. happens sometimes.

[Watabird]

awesome video. awesome song!

[sheabuttah1]

good advice :)

[whaler3232]

Nice chill song

[AnotherStargateFan]

What the...what kind of drugs were they on when they made this video? Creepy...definitely a good song, though.

[rbutler5]

some good shit,. obviously

[FukPhysics]

didnt their main songwriter get busted for having coke?

[JohnnyBlazeGR]

Well Stephen was on cocaine. >.>

[eka001207]

i was looking for this song forever now i found it!! u rock!

[jeanvd88]

Very good lyrics ^_^

[wazeer23]

not really

[Hulavuta]

gjj

[marioarnone]

awesome video

[RVIGZ]

great song...but nightmares!

[Guy9998]

Great guitar riff.

[nekomakie]

I love this band...

[FunnyConsumablePro]

Great Canadian Band...

[DropkickPenguin]

Sorry, Jenny. I can't understand you without punctuation. And why are you yelling? You're dead- take it eeeeeee-say.

[moiafro]

Beautiful song, and vey artistic video.

[Etigress]

Great song and band! If you notice in the video that they're all fairy tales with unhappy endings. Good message because in life not so many things end happily.

[c3bss256]

This is such a calm song... I love it.

[chucky057]

what do you mean calm ???

[c3bss256]

I mean it's easy to relax to

[juanCarlosvp7]

calming/relaxing...yeah!!

[anderson1748]

good tune man.

[sgk1967]

I like their later stuff more than their earlier crap. This is one of their better tunes.

[sims2luverfrk]

they have the same song on the sims 2 in simlish

[NewAgeEagles]

ive never been a big fan of their new sutff (there old stuff was so much better)

but i have to say this is a great song

[HenseStudioz]

that was amazing ....so original!

[samdaboy5]

This reminds me of when I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas after a bit of shrooms...

[areyoumybuddy]

lots and lots of shrooms

[62reasons]

The Monty Python theme is evident...but this is still awesome in its own right.  One of my favourite songs by these lads.

Awesome guys!!

[wwwMERTHcom]

Awesome video. Love me some BNL.

[tupNtess]

love BNL!

[Danzel9987]

One of their finest songs

A True work of art

[keychain1337]

OH MY FUCK RUMEBLESTILTSKIN

[mikebtko]

LOVE BARENAKED LADIES!!!... They nailed it!... I mean the song is pop perfection!!!... This song is simple, yet sophisticated and gorgeous!!!...

[463JR]

eww... pop...

but the song's good, yea :D

[henrymcpoo]

sorry for the spam my computer just went crazy

[henrymcpoo]

nye

[henrymcpoo]

nye

[luckygeorgeblog]

Great song...

[Fwagwah]

I've often wondered if this song is about dealing with a relative who abuses drugs or something along those lines.

The capsule going into the ground and sprouting a bean stalk kind of resonates this meaning in my eyes (in the video). Hmmm...

[chili1525]

the whole video is about fairytales being so much easier than real life hence all the references to famous fairytales

[Fwagwah]

Yeah, but the thing the bean stalk grows out of does not look much like a bean... It looks like your typical plastic-capsule pill.

Also, Real Life being harder than fairy tails good easily encompass drug use.

[kusanagikun]

this song explains my last relationship.

[CKNrangers]

Oh Yeahhh!!!!

[DallingtonP]

Oh god forbid they stray away from the mainstream bs you find in most vids. I think it's great they did something different.

[2xtreem4u]

i like it

[Ynostar07]

I love it, irregardless of everybody, this is just great music.

Listen and smile :)

[MrBlinny]

i dont care what you guys think. this video is great. awesome references to fairytales of all sorts. if you cant appreciate it then, yeah stick to the music CDs, but homestly no one cares whether or not you approve of the video.

[PoisonPeachPit]

If creativity like THIS stayed in people's heads, there would be no such thing as art.

[miniCooper0000]

overall, I rate it 4 stars

[miniCooper0000]

awesome song, but i must admit chambusa is right, the video is just screwed up

[Ryio]

Lol thats why music and not a movie, Just close your eyes and enjoy the song.

[chambusa]

nice song, creepy video - just get the music cd, this kind of creativity could stay in their heads

[fifthbg]

You can't please everyone chambusa...you like the song but not the video...sounds like it's still a 50% win for music.

[chambusa]

lmao i can see by the "-5" beside my name that all the messed up emo's out there dont agree with me. Barenaked Ladies music rox. But this video is demented, and anyone who enjoys it is likely disturbed. One more round of acid and lets watch Alice in Wonderland please lol

[463JR]

lol

i gotta say

ur funny, but u hafta give the weird vid some credit. its original!how many ppl woulda thought this thing up. its not some lead singing singing to the camera; its a comic story with originality. love it or hate it, it took a hell of a lot of work to create, so give it some credit.

:P later everyone, add me :D

[cbrnate]

yeah, people who dont realize the video is based off of common childrens fairy tales, and if they think this video is weird they might be shocked to realize the rhymes we all grew up with and how dememeted they are lol

[usergently]

@cbrnate Agreed!
