Don't Come Around Here No More

[seagramo7]

GREAT VIDEO!!!! AHHH!!! THE GOOD OLD MTV DAYS

[fight609]

EEEVERYTHIIING YOU JUST SAW WAS OOONLY IN YOUR IIMAGINATIONNNN... hahaha

[curvalecce]

Almost all the elements come from 'Alice in Wonderland' (caterpillar, mushroom, tea party, size-changing, etc.), except eating Alice like a birthday cake at the end, which I can't say really worked for me. Tom Petty, when doing this brilliant song live, puts on a 'Mad Hatter' tophat so he must stand by the vid.

[rgaleny]

It's a love song. But it's a "stop abusing drugs" song. ABUSING. But it came off like a commercial for LSD.

[00x98pd]

you can tell they were smoking some good stuff to come up with a video like this

[ChelseaAllTheWay13]

Its Trippy ! Love it.

[411crazychicks]

This video is wierd.... it's kinda creepy



[eujnfnnasdni]

Alice on acid......!

[spankyownz]

I want a giant cup of tea like that..

[Jmini1997]

@spankyownz I want the giant cup too, only filled with coffee.

[C12031997]

dat bitch is high

[420utubemr]

99 people don't come around here no more.

[ridgeback69z]

02:45 Toms-X b/f Have to admit, great writer. Guys a Jew as well so, major promo shit from the Isreal.

[Superblazer1]

is that an 80's version of willy wonka?

[Awakeandalive1]

@Superblazer1 Read some Lewis Carroll.

[EcnalKcin]

@Superblazer1 lol, fail

[noblesage4]

@Superblazer1 maybe alice in wonderland i think!!

[BlueMaking]

It's like a not-rubbish version of Rusted Root. :)

[ChelseaAllTheWay13]

Seeing it on LSD ? What channel is that on. Great vid and track.

[ornjoos]

Day 3. Mys search has been fruitless. I'm beginning to run out of food, and there's still no sign of ajweberman's comment.

[dadahdee]

What was the followup song that had the girl who played Alice in this video in it? I think that the band was running around inside her head-- but the song title escapes me. Anyone know?

[xra1nxdr0px1]

reality. lol

[kenyanblast]

everyone is high at his concerts :D

[Kagebushin01]

woulda looked better as red velvet cake

[PoseidonKross2009]

This vid is really fun to watch :D

[Funeralmindpossesion]

Abstract and curious at the same time. I can't go from some point of view to hear this song,

[btownmxer]

This Vid used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid lol

[SadisticSerpentWoman]

Acid triiiiiiiip....

[dylansuppiah]

He makes the perfect Mad Hatter doesnt he?

[SadisticSerpentWoman]

@dylansuppiah Better than Johnny Depp

[dylansuppiah]

@SadisticSerpentWoman Absolutely agree with you! He fits the part perfectly! I've always wondered why they didn't cast Tom Petty for that part in that movie instead. Nice to know I'm not alone on this. Cheers!

[MrGrowsontrees]

What does it mean to be free?

[fukutube75]

I remember seeing this on LSD.. Not good... let me tell ya!

[egotrippy]

oldest vid i can remember.petty rocks!

[xterra43]

One of the best music videos ever...

[eddysvideos33]

1985? I remember being young when this came out, but not that young.

[idoublefamily]

petty im gonna keep comin around you can't stop me!

[cinderclawz]

This video is tied with genesis' "land of confusion", for brilliance beyond any video produced in the modern era

[StephenFiorentini]

first time i heard this song was on a birdhouse skate video called 'the end'. Jeremly Klein and Heath Kirchart were skating to it in suits and this song was fucking perfect with it. Such a tune, brings back many happy memories. TOM PETTY FUCKING RULES!

[BannedAgainX]

Alice in Wonderland with Tom Petty as the Mad hatter!? I'd pay top dollar!

[fruntbach]

old stuff..........for old people.. like my hero.. ted bundy i pray for his return

[MLFromGeorgia]

@fruntbach You would worship a serial killer.

[mythtree]

She might be your cup of tea, but you can't have your cake & eat it too! Like you can't very well have more if you haven't had less, I guess, more or less. One pill makes you larger, one pill makes you small...drink me, eat me, go ask Alice, anyone want a piece of me? That really takes the cake. Better run for your life cried the mad hatter. Ever played this with Alice, Stevie Nicks? She's a dragon. This video freaked me out in so many ways. Still trippin' after all these years.

[cdawg1302]

97 people should have never came here, the rest of us never left

[davis1234able]

kinda wish i was born in time of this the 70s look like it was such a nice time

better then being born in 1995 and dealing with shitty music these days

[SlumberCloud]

This is played loudly when my mom still tries to control me, and hunting me down (Im 27)

[mrtotheextreme]

Me:I have a question.

Friend:What?

Me:Tom Petty or Billy Joel?

Friend's Head explodes.

[cdawg1302]

jefferson airplane- white rabbit, another good one like this:)

[DirtyMoney23]

Alice In Wonderland in a rock n roll music video.

[trollinnoobs]

it takes alot of acid to make this music video

[Blendwerk]

Kindertrauma.Thanks MTV, thanks Tom Petty for highoctane nightmare fuel.

[lilmissBuddha86]

talk about childhood memory flash-back....lol

[letmebeanewsie]

Tom petty is one ugly fuck

[JohnnyLemonhead]

0:24 to 0:50 FTW. I would I could find an instrumental version of this song.

[MultiHeatherj]

My sister use to date a guy that looked just like Tom Petty too.

[MultiHeatherj]

Tom Petty might not be a very good looking man But DAMN he can sing!!!!!

[johnnysmommy06]

I WANT SOME PEOPLE CAKE! HAHAHA!

[irock006]

Music videos like these amaze me on SO many levels because of the creativity; they don't make em like this anymore

[twilightriverlove]

mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad hatter mad

[EmoWolfChic100]

[hurleyrox2012]

why do VEVO videos always freeze up...

[mc4069]

3:10 seriously bitch, please leave.

[TheKalen486]

god i saw this video when i was 10 or 11 y/o

[lpclassic60]

Well, if you're going to cannibalize, why not do it with style?

[toolongforyoutoread6]

@lpclassic60 He did warn her.

[roxcyn]

Thanks Tom Petty for recommending this video on Twitter!  :D

[vaimy777]

I saw him live like most of the people in the world, and he is quite a showman and amazing and sounds even better live. I will never forget dragging my mom to see Tom when i was 14 and how uncomfortable she looked passing joints along to the people in our row.

[friedpickles8960]

@ajweberman don't come around here no more

[shockzrock]

One of the first videos I ever saw - when I was 6.

The end still creeps the shit out of me.

[FernandORas1]

VIAJEIRA,,,,,,,,,, TÚ CONHECE TOM PETTY ?

[WorkaholicsAnon]

I've been looking for this video for 9 years since I saw it on Pop Up Video when I was 6. As you can imagine, this haunted my young dreams . . . .

[papermyles]

there is a musical/porno from the early 80s from denmark if i remember correctly , based on alice in wonderland , corny as all hell . funny thing as with this video they both get eaten in the end !

[hepheastus01]

check out my playlist if you like amazing music lol.

[Justamantry]

Hey you ! Don't come around here no more . .

[justagirl123431]

THIS SONG IS SOOO GAY!! TRY JUSTIN BIEBER!!

[MLFromGeorgia]

@justagirl123431 Yeah, why not? Why listen to a song that wasn't computer generated? All those tedious instruments and musicians with real talent are SOOOOO 20th Century.

Go elsewhere, little girl.

[alfieg1]

@ajweberman take the songs advice

[thedork27]

I Told Some People To Take Tom Petty's Advice AND "Don't Come Around Here No More"

[mulehead126]

[turbanjuicer]

[schwig44]

@ajweberman The fuck is wrong with you?

[SuperMarlene01]

LOL.....

[Jk1ller27]

@ajweberman Go back to your crappy new music, geek. This is where the cool kids hang.

[razorath92]

@Jk1ller27 Not ALL new music is crap, just mainstream new music.

[DeadBlackDistortion]

whoa...that sitar BLOWS ME AWAY ever damn time, he's GODLY to be able to write a pop song with a sitar part that is played over and over throughout the WHOLE song. PROPS to TOM PETTY and the heartbrakers! great lyrics andeverything he never dissapoints

[KidOfAwsomness2]

[mulehead126]

@KidOfAwsomness2

[redrobin9938]

[pedropistolas18]

@pedropistolas18 hahahahaahaha

[KnL565]

@pedropistolas18 you are lam and i now who you are and thay leave not couse you want them to becouse you aint worth a f finish the other three letters little penice

[JPMcFly1985]

The guy on Tom's right hand side eating a donut with a fork and knife at 2:46 reminds me of the Seinfeld episode, lol.

[SuperEbony5]

@JPMcFly1985 the one where everybody starts eating candy with a fork and knife? just because george did?

[JPMcFly1985]

@SuperEbony5 Yeah. :) Even if that episode was years after this (1994 I think) I doubt they stole it either, since its not that noticeable.

[TheBonejumper123]

hey best there was at the time my friend

[PriorySoulTemple]

close your eyes 'cause we're going to the land of Alice now

[blackSmurf1000]

this is what my mom though about my dad when they first were together

now there happily married what tom petty can do

[CoolConejo]

This is an Illuminati masonic tribute song.

[TheYozaify]

This song perfectly describes what I feel about 99% of my old friends

[Qiuera91]

3:52 ALways Crack ME UP!!

[Phoenyx7Rising]

Holy shit this is making me high and im fucking sober as hell. holy fucking shit balls

[PotentialHoodrat]

Tom Green on the sitar

[astro237]

I almost thought that was Tom Petty playing Alice...

[1tensoldier1]

I saw that years of Tom and the heart breakers3 times Amazing band he said he was a kid and his uncle knew Elvis and he decided he was gonna make music

[pappyonetime]

/watch?v=hnd41ksBGe4



[pravadaprincess707]

shit i would like to dedicate this to sevral people

[eukinfindme]

Thumbs up if "We Bought a Zoo" trailer brought you here.

[hbkgrl323]

@eukinfindme thats exactly why i'm here.

[macandcheese001]

LMAO what a trip

[CommanderMeaty]

if I was having a moment of dream, this song would play

[slimshady0297]

Watching this on VH1 Classic right now, haha.

[hippieproductionz]

it sucks

[gatheringleaves]

@hippieproductionz

No it doesnt

[MLFromGeorgia]

@hippieproductionz No, the talentless crap that passes for music today sucks. No instruments, no talent. It's all about looks and dance moves nowadays. Talent takes second (or last) place to everything else. forty years ago, none of today's superstars, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, NONE OF THEM! - would've even been given the time of day by record companies; they'd have been shown the door the instant their audition ended.

[Kimberliss42]

@MLFromGeorgia You betcha!!!

[thedork27]

Ah<3 He looks sexy<3

sorry i love him<3;D

[flow3232]

i always thought that he looked like the mad hatter.. and i had never seen this video. awesome though

[rachelm10100]

What did he give her that made her fall on her ass? lol

[ilikemusic493]

tom petty is the shit with these videos lol

[lyles32386]

buffalo bill dances to this.. and so do i

[eukinfindme]

@lyles32386 actually Buffalo Bill dances to "Goodbye Horses" by Q. Lazarus

[MLFromGeorgia]

@lyles32386 You're thinking of Katherine Martin, his victim (the one down the well) singing "American Girl" in her car before Bill abducted her. Bill was dancing to "Goodbye Horses"., as eukinfindme points out just below me on this thread.

[HenryJekyllHyde]

He got wierdest videos for his songs ;)

[MetaphysicalShadows]

93 people aren't welcome here no more.

[alectraproject]

Aye!

[Hivernment]

"So we began an independent journey as caretakers of these lands and waters to instead mature in becoming the undertakers of earth itself."

[HuginnAndMuninn2011]

lol ah love it.

[cjfelldownagain]

Tom petty did music video about alice in wonderland before it was cool XD

[Domesticloverfoever]

@cjfelldownagain will agree with ya on that

[masterankerich]

@cjfelldownagain Alice in Wonderland wasn't cool prior to 1985? Huh?

[16wani]

@masterankerich

Alice in Wonderland has always been a cool story and will always be, right ? :-)

[kocnn]

graduated in 82, this song was funny as hell when on green pyramids,

[flexmeisterjess]

Tom Petty, you make an awesome Mad Hatter! <3 :D

[MLFromGeorgia]

@flexmeisterjess Better than Johnny Depp, and even he was good at it.

[ikeuser]

"For the last shot. where we cut a piece of Wish's [Foley's] body and eat, we had a giant cake made in the shape of her body, and Wish slipped her head from underneath. That must have been uncomfortable as hell...When MTV saw that shot, they said one of my looks down at Wish was too menacing, like I was enjoying it too much. I thought that's what the character would do." I Want My MTV, Tom Petty quote, p. 315

[aprilglaspieable]

Oh, them shrooms.

[helperout]

this video always makes me laugh , i truely wonder what or who Tom is saying (Dont Come Around Here No More) ? , this is a masterpiece for a Music Video .

[tdcskp]

I put this on a tape ( a while back-no mp3's) for my ex- he didn't take the hint 'til I said "OK, come on back, here's the key to my new place." The key was a blank- he got the hint then. Great video- thank you much for putting it here!!!

[permian26]
