Gotta love songs that never get old, just acquite new meanings with time. That's real art.
Not a word had to be added to song, so it seems quite clear to me that anyone that thinks the song here is "perverted" has to accept the song has always been this "perverted".
The song speaks for itself, the smart background collage only reminds us of how enduring Cohen's work is.
If you are convinced Leo is a genius and yet this video makes you angry, I can suggest you rethink your principles.
it use to be a valid song and the whole notion of weather everybody knows that they know. with anyone else. I suppose there are some people out there that never heard this and let me say that there was a time where it didn't feel like everyone knew, now this may come across with less impact (this song) now its gotten to be a general betrayal thats excepted. than again though I suppose there is someone that is just understanding for the first that everyone knows but somehow we as a whole ignore
anyone who has the audacity to pervert the origins of this song is a MORON !! keep you Political views way away fro Mr. Cohen.. you ruin hus brand trying to equate your funky ASS Liberal Politics with the genius of Mr. Cohen. find another platform you fuckin MORON!
@huskerdu8 Why don't you come down from that cross and use the wood to build a bridge and get over it! You warmonger repubacrats are just too afraid to admit that bush was a liar and a murderer.
Lighten up everyone and enjoy your loves and your lives, listen to this song and enjoy the lyrics for God's sake, in whatever form you see God to be... have a liitle fun in your life, your eternal life:) we all have our battles, time to go with the flow - what can you control...nothing, but your own choices...look in the mirror, it begins with you, if you want peace, then, be peaceful...start here♥
Almost 300,000 views. I am really humbled that so many people would sit through something that I made. I am humbled that Leonard Cohen's Record label has never caused me any grief for making this video. I think that says a lot and I think Leonard Cohen is very talented poet/musician and I would highly recommend that you purchase some of his music.
@gopblows The video is great! I just discovered Leonard Cohen. and bought one of his albums per an article in Rolling Stone. I'll be buying more of them, too. Thank you for the video and thanks to L.C. for such great music.
@BloggingMan886 I would rather have nobody take down anyone. America (The country I love and would defend to the death (Not for country but for family ,friend,and neighbor) )has done a few stupid things in the past but we are a good people at heart with a few Maniacs at the helm. Just like many have in some Muslim Countries and in Evil,Murdurous groups of Cowards that call themselves Al-Qaeda. Most people on this planet Just want a home,job,food,love,to live.It only takes 1 cowards to ruin it
I realize that this video was made in 2007 so now that you found out that democrats are the same as republicans, and that republicans are same as democrats, you can make another video using this song "everybody knows that republicrats don't work for us".
to stray from the seemingly common political debates (AKA flaming) I loved this song on Pump up the volume. No better song for Happy Harry Hard on's theme. And this song reminds me of my ex too. lol
"but there was so many people you just had to meet, without your clothes."
could this be the greatest lyric ever written? perhaps this and "imagine" form lennon. As a musician i say to 1st listen& appreciate the music b4 the lyrics&to not take it for granted, cuz if the music wasnt so amazing then the lyric wouldnt be as noticed...howeve, i almost think the music was made FOR they lyrics in this song...unreal lyrics relieving such a message and in such a compelling way. Thats how its done..thats artistic expression at its finest.
Un-restrained greed that the Republicans love is plain old selfishness carried to the point of being socially destructive, if anything is EVIL their greed qualifies. This EVIL greed dominates the Republican agenda regardless of religious affiliation or not. For these people religion is only a cover up for their blatant greed.
@Aramis6849 well put, but that doesn't mean the Dems are going to save you. They have their own 'issues'. If voting 'changed' anything it would be illegal.

@Amhiel ok so wheres the revolution? I got my weapons rdy im just waiting for the rest of you cowardly pricks to take up voice so we can get the revolution going but too many of you "Change Makers" as sitting round with your thumbs up your asses hopeing bitching will change shit. Before you go saying shit bout "settlers" do something that'll ACTUALLY CHANGE SOMETHING!!!
Weapons ready? I hope you're not talking about guns, that would've meant you hadn't understood anything. In other hand you don't know what I'm doing or not, actually I AM doing things. There's plenty of things to do, from just consume ethically to show alternatives, peaceful civil disobedience, organization, mediatic guerrilla... so, appart from being "ready", what are YOU doing?
Me? I aint doing shit cuz not enough ppl to help me change shit, at most i get ppl like you who like to protest, and bitch but never take actual action, you'll never change anything by simply bitching at the ppl who are in control. Why? Because they dont give a shit what you say, untill we take the power away from those who have it things will never change and you cant take something from the Controllers thru simple moaning and whining besides things never stay changed for long
also I just do give a Fuck, personally untill we find a way to reach true Communism, that thing where EVERYBODY is equal i dont give a shit, btw dont spout shit bout former "Communism" Countrys, not a single one got to Communism, they had dictatorship, fascism, and socialism but none had Communism as it was originally writen as, a Country where all People are equal and are given Equal treatment, care, ect. untill then you keep playing your failing political game with the rich and powerful
So, if you, with all your rage aren't doing "shit" as you say, who do you expect to do it? You talk about me as if you knew me but you don't. Do you think I'm just a whiner? think again. I'm peaceful but not passive, and I'm not talking about bitching the ones above but about encouraging those on your sides. I'm talking about manipulating the market to make it fail completly now that is already falling. And of course be prepared with a proper alternative.
So, what do you propose? I'd love to read it. In my side, if you build a house out of shit, what you can only expect when you go live in there is that it stinks. I agree with you that a real communism (which hasn't already existed) would be a major improvement, but the means to get there have to be ethical.
@Kagebushin01 People nowadays are just pussies that can't do anything. The only ones that stand up to others are protesters and their all Leaf eating, Coke smoking hippies and all they have are signs that say "Stop testing medicine on Animals".
People use to be brave and took shit from nobody. Citizens were their Countries voices, what the hell happened?
@Runies1 right on the money brother, sadly it takes more than an individual to carry out a revolution and even those of us who would like to be one to try and start it are afraid of standing out and being ignored by the masses why risking being arrested for Treason. I'll be the first to admit if not for this risk i would stand out on the streets with a megaphone demanding allies for a Revolution of Government
ty, glad there are a few who see that it takes more then simpls arguements to change the world, also as i said i appeal to the true concept of what communism was supposed to be not what it always winds up as, in truth as long as there is greed, corruption, and such there will never be communism
@Kagebushin01 I Agree with you. Talking doesn't do anything.
Lets look at Barrack Obama. Stand up to him and tell him something like "Lower Our Taxes" He will ignore and will ignore you, because to him your just another number of the people who are complaining about their taxes.
Kidnap a family member and threaten to kill them and he will treat you as an individual. Not that it should be done or anything. just an example.
1. World Leaders (normal people, nothing special about them i can beat the living shit out of them if their not hiding behind their Goons. e.g. Secret Service)
Why should the presidents children be any more important then any of ours? Their not special, they just make him invite Celebrities to the white house that they like. and the celebs don't have a choice, because they will be drugged and their life erased. No one knows how it happened of course.
Jzozano2, Bush will be proven right? 4000 only??? The only people that does not respect human life is the ones have never felt the value of a happy life. You got to change something!
I'm not keen on seeing him hanged, - but I'd really appreciate our peers locking the fucker up til his time has expired. Fuck him and the Cheney he rode in on
sarcasm guy sarcasm , ,4000 dead soldiers so he can hang saddams gun in his private library in texas. get it he will be proven right 400 years from now. sarcasm guy sarcasm
War criminal, sure. Biggest of our time? You need to watch more news. Somlia. Genocide in Darfur. etc. The list goes on. Some messed up stuff happened in the last decade that neither the middle east nor the US had anything to do with.
if you lock up Bush then really you would be arresting a patsy...every president is expendable there just a poster boy the real people in charge are never even seen!!
@mycoolharmony never happen take nixon for example..these pigs back their own,the nobles of the states phh..history repeats itself (ROME)oil,railroad,law,these are the families that run this country..and all their kiddies went too the same high priced private schools.hmm im not a detective but seems like itzfixed!
HEY, WINGNUTS, name ONE thing conservatives have EVER done for the working class--you can't do it!! Hell, Clinton was the best republican we have ever had. Also, what did Ike warn us about in 1961? You don't know!! Ever hear of Erik Prince?? Goddamn, wingnuts are WILLFULLY ignorant!!
leonard's lyrics are open to any interpretation, so if the creator of this video read this into the song, then it works really well I think it's pretty good. (and I'm not a Bush hater by any means)
This video is completely disconnected from what the song really means. To take such a great song and turn it into some kind of dumbass political statement is just sophomoric.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
first stroke of Bush's pen was for life, Reagan signed for life. What has Clinton and Obam signed for? You expect good things to happen to this nation with that kind of work? No Good Ever Comes From Discouragement.
Discouragement has one source.
The weapon used against families and society was *beauty perverted* like the poison apple given by the witch. While the homes were falling down each broken person was ripe for injecting with poison of the soul. See Cohen's " First We Take Manhattan"
ooo wow...bush sucks..the government is corrupt...there are conspiracies about everything...at this rate we might as well dump technology and the life as the superior species and just go back to being monkeys...much happier *noms on banana*
who cares... besides, if he isnt american, that's a good thing. plus white americans are just europeans that beat up a bunch of indians, so ye're all immigrants anyways
Has anyone ever heard the phrase "To divide and conquer" That exactly what there doing. They have you so caught up in Left vs Right you can't see who the true enemy is. There is no Left and Right all politicians are THEM. The real divide is US (poor/middle class) vs THEM (rich/elite "as they like to call themselves") And until we all distinguish who the real enemy is were just getting closer to servitude.
They both wanted to give all our money to the bankers. Bush & Obama are both pupppets of the NWO. Don't take the swine flu vaccine that's coming out in the fall. Peace - love , and don't trust the main stream media.
See that is the problem, Not as many people know that the swine flu vaccine has been shown to cause schizophrenia/suicide.
Not everybody, knows that the same people that funded Obama, funded Hilary.
Not everybody knows that Bush and Obama are related, as are 35 out of 49 of the American presidents.
Not everybody knows that it was not Obama, err I mean Osama that flew the plan into that building. Pity the black box was never recovered but I bet that happens all the time.
"Not as many people know that the swine flu vaccine has been shown to cause schizophrenia".
How's that? When Novartis AG hasn't even started human testing yet. Interesting that you'd know that. How can medication cause schizophrenia? When the causes are prenatal, genetic, hypoxia, certain infections, amphetamine addiction, hallucinogenic addiction, cannabis(some will argue), and possibly tobacco use. Nothing that is linked to medication. Just the facts, Jack.
Bush and Obama are on the same team. None of the issues matter if they allow the federal reserve to print our money into the abyss and sign legislation which bails out the to big fail companies aka not us. The media is horrible in this country. Have you ever seen the media report, for instance on some of these legislative pieces, (which can be 1000+ pages) how it is implemented, who voted for what, what the end result was, where the money actually went. REVOLUTION #2 is coming!!!
If anyone of us were in his position we would have probably done the same thing. If there was a terrorist attack in any country, people will want answers and someone to blame. The only problem is that Al-Queda is a discrete organisation of extremist Muslums, not another nation. Therefore the war had to go to the most plausable place and attack the leader.
I too don't understand what is wrong with George W Bush. The American people kept him in for two terms! What would any of us do in his situation. Being a leader of a country (be that a President, Prime Minister etc.) is a stressful occupation. Why do you think they all end up with white hair!
All of you truthers are retarded. The number of people who would have to be involved in the coverup is staggering.
I've got friends in the mechanical engineering business, dicks. There isn't enough money printed for the Feds to buy their silence- no, they say the towers didn't need bombs to collapse because they *actually didn't*, not because they can become accomplices to mass murder for the low, low price of a few grants.
Bush is just a fuckup who let something huge happen. DEAL WITH IT.
Yep, the truth is running rampant. Loose Change final Cut, the movie for example. It's got so many views, and yet "everybody knows" and the bad guys are still right there having got away scotfree.... Cohen put it into words so nicely.... Yeah, these guys are rotten, and they are in power. And these days almost everybody knows.... and yet, can we do anything? We can maybe watch the show, the "fools' parade"

Why is it that every youtube music video now a days has to involve a political montage???? And it always has to be anti-conservative, keep politics out of music! No one goes to concerts to be preached politics, and if you do, I am truely sorry for you.
And furthermore, I bet some 18 year old who just saw Natural Born Killers thought this would be great for a social studies class project. And even furthermore I bet he or she got an "A"....mannnnnnn. Way to ruin a great song.
Pump Up The Volume is the Christian Slater movie. The movie has Cohen singing the song, but the soundtrack has Concret Blonde doing a cover. This is MUCH better than the cover.
How bad is bad, I'm so stuck in crazy and if I love a very hot kitty lady, it might only last for so long, and if it's like this and like this and she is gone, she wasn't worth it, she didnt love me the way I loved her, thats how I feel about people if I'm like this, this wild, and cannot be loved or stirred, they say it's not the world ,
Well, if Bush actually knew the rudimentaries of English grammar we would trust him. Somebody who cannot string a sentence together should not be running the country. Cohen for president!
It is a shame how people dishonor the head of the country that they live in. Even if you don't like him give some respect. Because if you don't do so people from other countries will sure not.

I aint doing shit cuz not enough ppl to help me change shit, at most i get ppl like you who like to protest, and bitch but never take actual action, you'll never change anything by simply bitching at the ppl who are in control. Why? Because they dont give a shit what you say, untill we take the power away from those who have it things will never change and you cant take something from the Controllers thru simple moaning and whining besides things never stay changed for long
Kagebushin01 2 years ago
also I just do give a Fuck, personally untill we find a way to reach true Communism, that thing where EVERYBODY is equal i dont give a shit, btw dont spout shit bout former "Communism" Countrys, not a single one got to Communism, they had dictatorship, fascism, and socialism but none had Communism as it was originally writen as, a Country where all People are equal and are given Equal treatment, care, ect. untill then you keep playing your failing political game with the rich and powerful
Kagebushin01 2 years ago
So, if you, with all your rage aren't doing "shit" as you say, who do you expect to do it? You talk about me as if you knew me but you don't. Do you think I'm just a whiner? think again. I'm peaceful but not passive, and I'm not talking about bitching the ones above but about encouraging those on your sides. I'm talking about manipulating the market to make it fail completly now that is already falling. And of course be prepared with a proper alternative.

So, what do you propose? I'd love to read it. In my side, if you build a house out of shit, what you can only expect when you go live in there is that it stinks. I agree with you that a real communism (which hasn't already existed) would be a major improvement, but the means to get there have to be ethical.
Amhiel 2 years ago
@Kagebushin01 People nowadays are just pussies that can't do anything. The only ones that stand up to others are protesters and their all Leaf eating, Coke smoking hippies and all they have are signs that say "Stop testing medicine on Animals".
People use to be brave and took shit from nobody. Citizens were their Countries voices, what the hell happened?

@Runies1 right on the money brother, sadly it takes more than an individual to carry out a revolution and even those of us who would like to be one to try and start it are afraid of standing out and being ignored by the masses why risking being arrested for Treason. I'll be the first to admit if not for this risk i would stand out on the streets with a megaphone demanding allies for a Revolution of Government

You have to understand that the "left" was hijacked by hippies who preach nonviolence to the point of just sitting there with a gun to your head!

The American revolution and more importantly the French revolution was not solved by a youtube debate.

ty, glad there are a few who see that it takes more then simpls arguements to change the world, also as i said i appeal to the true concept of what communism was supposed to be not what it always winds up as, in truth as long as there is greed, corruption, and such there will never be communism

@Kagebushin01 I Agree with you. Talking doesn't do anything.
Lets look at Barrack Obama. Stand up to him and tell him something like "Lower Our Taxes" He will ignore and will ignore you, because to him your just another number of the people who are complaining about their taxes.
Kidnap a family member and threaten to kill them and he will treat you as an individual. Not that it should be done or anything. just an example.

first stroke of Bush's pen was for life, Reagan signed for life. What has Clinton and Obam signed for? You expect good things to happen to this nation with that kind of work? No Good Ever Comes From Discouragement.
Discouragement has one source.

There is no Left and Right all politicians are THEM.

"Not as many people know that the swine flu vaccine has been shown to cause schizophrenia".
How's that? When Novartis AG hasn't even started human testing yet. Interesting that you'd know that. How can medication cause schizophrenia? When the causes are prenatal, genetic, hypoxia, certain infections, amphetamine addiction, hallucinogenic addiction, cannabis(some will argue), and possibly tobacco use. Nothing that is linked to medication. Just the facts, Jack.

REVOLUTION #2 is coming!!!

If anyone of us were in his position we would have probably done the same thing. If there was a terrorist attack in any country, people will want answers and someone to blame. The only problem is that Al-Queda is a discrete organisation of extremist Muslums, not another nation. Therefore the war had to go to the most plausable place and attack the leader.
Osama Bin Laden.
