  • I am in LOVE w/POE -still..... xoxox

  • Dear YouTube Users,

    Go read a book, particularly House of Leaves.

    Sincerely,

    You will finally understand the references

  • she looks prettier with mud and dark hair

  • Obviously nobody really grasp the concept of this song don't watch the video and listen to the words it is a sexual song and about Them telling a story in details of what they are doing and where they are touching.......... I Got It (POE) !

  • There is a disproportionate amount of male gaze in this video. Disappointing, considering the original always seemed to give off a sense of a strong, dominant woman taking control of her sexuality. Not impressed. =/

  • she looks like jennifer esposito in this video.

  • Do you get the jist of the song now?

  • she is amazing!

  • OMFG BALLARD QUOTES I FREAKING LOVE YOU

  • Am I THE ONLY 1 that can TOTALLY see Amy Lee/Evanescence covering this?...w/ James Spader doing the narration part,as well?...

  • @jerzeefranky3475 Yes. You are the only one. The song is not meant to be howled.

  • @jerzeefranky3475 now that you mention it....not anymore!!!

  • @jerzeefranky3475 yes amy lee would whine her way through it.Within temptations singer could do this very well i think.But speculating isn't certainty so who knows.

  • i just like the chorus

  • Brink back spyder games.

  • Uh, why is she dancing on a Chevy? It's a BMW in the song.

  • @morsie Wow! Are you really that clueless? Voted for Bush, maybe? Twice?? Look at the hood emblem, brainiac... The car is a Cadillac. POE's song was recorded long before the video. One doesn't have a lot to do with the other. The Director of the video designs the production. The Artist wrote the song. Besides, who CARES which car appears in the video? The Song, the Artist and the Video are all awesome. Apologize to POE, please.

  • To everyone who's complaining about the video...

    "Do you get the gist of the song now?" - Poe.

    ;)

  • V**V mmmmmm

  • damn...gotta echo multiple comments on here...loved this CD and also wore it out but this video is so disappointing. From her music I thought Poe was really cool but this video is sooo bad. She's stooping to Jessica Simpson/paris hilton levels. mud-wrestling, gratuituous grinding and cheesy words-mouthing? seems like shit you do to become a pop star or for the entertainment of men... not a form of creative expression. trashy and sad :(

  • "The longest unzipping of my life." Mark sure has a way with words...

    I saw Poe live when she opened for Depeche Mode back in 2001. She put on a far, FAR better show than they did, and Mark was there as a guest. "Epic" is an oft-overused term, so suffice it to say that if she ever goes back on tour I'll sell a kidney to get tickets if that's what it takes, and I don't even care if it's mine...

  • I love this version of the song, but the video is a turn off. It's like what Jewel was making fun of in her "Intuition" video.

  • @LRB9498 ummm, Jewel is a fake cunt, which is why she was a flash in the pan, check the charts dude, Poe is real

  • I always had the vision that she was driving in a car through a city at night, coming dangerously close to causing collisions with other cars, and that it was interspresed with shots of a crazy woman in a huge mansion. But hey, that's just me

  • But that isn't a BMW....

  • Why the hell is there a crappy commercial playing throughout the whole video? Way to ruin a good song.

  • And yet not a single stripclub I've be to plays this song. Fuck it, I'm starting my own place.

  • Is it possible to like and dislike this at the same time? Cause It's not something to dislike, folks.

  • I agree, Although I do like the video it is not at all close to the image in my mind, this song congers feelings from my youth that cant easly be put to words. I had this on CD and it logged many hours of play in the stepside. I would also like to say this CD might have had a hand in some of the action I had back in the day.

  • @123RAINYDAYS And by the way, that's a kick ass novel. Can't say the same about the song though.

  • um this song turns me on... a lot.

  • I like the use of colour: Mark reads Johnny's words while framed (trapped?) in Blue, and Poe is the minotaur in Red. I'm gonna get sucked into that book again, I just know it.

  • This is such an odd video for poe. I miss her I feel like she is an old friend from my childhood.

  • nah - im with the vid haters - poe represents dirt, filth, loathing and sex. primal dark sex. . . its in all of us - all of us who are honest with ourselves - and thats why we love poe. it does 'that' to us. its amazing. this video is trash , it TOTALLY ruins the whole 'poe' 'thing' . its a bummer, man. its easy to go back to though - toss in the cd. mmmhmm. i mean FORD payed for this, folks - be realistic. she had NOTHING to do with 'what' this vid was about - its a COMMERCIAL ! :)

  • I don't get the connection between the song and the video. Don't get all the talking from the man. Too much from him.

  • @aichausa The lines are from Poe's brother's book House of Leaves. The album and the book and interconnected.

  • haha wtf, the only thing that has to do with the song is the car.....

    but hey, sex sells.

  • even the mud looks fake great song shitty video !

  • I love this song so, so much. It's so wonderfully sexy and smoky. This definitely isn't how I pictured the film clip, but I like it. Dirty, sexy, and a car. The song in a nutshell.

  • video and song dont match at all. this video does not do this song justice. this should have been a darker, deeper video. not some MTV sellout crap like they did here. OMG hot chick with mudd rawr....meh, kinda. I envisioned a darker video...much darker....instead we got this britney spears crap video for an amazing song. please do yourself a favor and fire whoever came up with this video, and re-make the video like it should have been done...like Sin City style.

  • Video and Song do not match at all IMO. Granted it's hot .. but I had something different in my head.

  • Not with the video particularly.

  • Is it bad I seen this in black and white clips with an old school bmw on the coastline of the malibu hills....

  • Excellent song. Hotness all over...the video reflects it pretty well, in my opinion.

  • I'm kinda with everybody here. I love the song and I think it's better than the video... but I kinda like the video. I just could have done without her brother reading through it. I really dig Mark Z. Danielewski... but I would have rather heard Poe's lyrics...

  • Love the song...not the video.

  • if you like this version, may I recommend 'Somewhere Down The Crazy River' by Robbie Robertson

  • just scroll and listen

  • To all the complainers... (do you get the gist of the song now)... detach this song from the individual moment the spoken word describes and apply it to all of Johnny's experiences. Do you get the gist of the song now?

  • @kalchikc Well put, my friend! AND you can even add that on the same album she has a song titled "Not a Virgin"... [light bulbs over complainers' heads appear]. When is a video EVER EXACTLY what someone envisions when first hearing a song?

  • ya know ...your're right....the video in my head for this was soooooo much better...black and white,..leather panss or the like.....fire everybody who said this was a good idea...start over....

  • Actually, anybody that thinks this video anymore than a goof doesn't know Poe. Quite frankly, I think it's so out of character it's hilarious.

  • wow, this video totally got me hot.

  • What the hell is she doing?? Destroyed my mental image of the song.

  • this isn't the original song, this is the drive by 2001 mix...

  • That guy's voice scared me. The one where there's mostly singing is much better. That's just my opinion, I'm entitled to it, please don't kill me.

  • @ninjaqueen6660 I think that he is Mark Z. Danielewski. Poe's brother and author of House of Leaves, which is where the segment of him reading is from.

  • @Rhinomachine

    Haunted was written in connection with him while he was working on House of Leaves. The two tie together to make a greater ergodic literature than either of them separately.

  • the song is amazing. So is the book House of Leaves. Poe and Mark are so talented.

  • lol i love this song and i have it on cassette lol yeah i'm old school

  • Horrible video. I'd rather see a blank screen. Lol. None of it really fit, so that sucks. I like this song though.

  • Comment removed

  • seeing this video as parody kind of like Moby's "South Side" video. My GF has green eyes.

  • Bright green eyes and lesbian mud wrestling don't fit.

  • I have been looking for the vid for a while! I'm so glad to have found it again!

  • house of leaves.

  • if you think this video fits the song, read the fucking book.

  • this one and the original are so different but i like both though i like the original better but for the record i usually hate all remixes of anything

  • I imagine this video was some sort of garbage imposed by the record label back when the album was released. Of course, it has absolutely zero relationship to the narrative value of the song and seems more like a pre-runner of the Hardee's commercial with the model washing the car.

  • @deussolinvictus I'm thinking this was Poe giving the finger to MTV by making the biggest mess she could.

  • sold out in this vid

    

  • I'm sorry but all that dirt is so disgusting.

  • um...were they underfunded with this music vid or lazy....love the song,,but the movie,...not so much..seriuosly.

  • The entire "Haunted" album is both mournful and sexy. The only way Poe could get any hotter is if we could get her to stop skipping meals.

  • so true! the song is way too cool than the video can , WTF.

  • She's hot *_* And I think this video suits the song.

  • Man if that guy wasn't talking in it this'd be a gr8 karaoke! :(

  • Video sucks but the song is good. kind of reminds me of the other night haha

  • I thought Poe was HOT back when she released Angry Johnny; this video proved it. Yeah, it's cheesy, hell it's sleazy but damn, she's pure hotness. This video is the first thing that pops into my head whenever she's brought up in conversation.

  • Get over the video-holy shit. Shes a grown ass women-she can play in mud if lady ga ga can wear a meat suit.

  • @KenzieBenzieYeshplz I see your trying to make a point but why does it have to be with lady gaga in it?

  • @imortalSxNxB

    Dont get me wrong, I like lady ga ga-but compared to her and her telephone video-this is nothing to complain about.

  • @KenzieBenzieYeshplz are you sure that's mud??

    ...ick

  • They are like.. posing as if its a porn movie yet they have clothes on. Complete crap.

  • I wish this video weren't.... what it is. Perhaps Poe, who is fantastic, would have have greater commercial success. If anyone gets a chance, though, read House of Leaves. The passage this song is based on is AMAZING!

  • hey am i censored

    

  • bad video;;. cool song

  • This is one of the best albums I have heard in 20 years. Now, YES, her brother wrote a very strange book called "House of Leaves" and he and Annie (Poe) collaborated somewhat on the book/album (hint, listen to the actual album and read the book!). Personally, I thought the book, since it was written mostly on the Net and perhaps some interactive crap, was a letdown. However, "Haunted" is a masterpiece IMNSHO.

  • @jimsabean The book wasn't written on the net. You obviously don't "get" it. All that stuff in the book's description is made up.

  • I didnt invision the car it said at all, don't know why...

  • lol silly people, her eyes!

  • thumb down for the video alone

  • Yikes. I love Poe, but this video totally ruins the image I had of this song in my head. In fact, i am going to turn it off and keep the dark images I have in my head.

  • @jenontherun bad videos happen to excellent songs. i, too, had to turn it off, close my eyes and get back to my original vision. just wrong.

  • @jenontherun hell yea i agree with you!!

  • @jenontherun haha. it could be symbolizing how sexually deviant or at least infatuated with sex & sexual encounters Mr. Truant is. Like his obsession with Thumper the stripper. Maybe a glimpse of the type of explicit, lewd, and obvious acts of a female turning men on...more specifically, him, in this instance. I know it's his sister...but i mean to the audience we might want to see that from a dissociated standpoint (lol). As just a female being Mr Truants sexualized imaginings. Only my take.

  • @bringthemfpain "House of Leaves" doesn't deserve to be associated with anything Poe does. I want my time and money back from that crap.

  • @PostmortemBirth

    To each his own. I don't find it hard to realize why people wouldn't like it, but I just like weird stuff like that. :)

  • @PostmortemBirth I personally loved "House of Leaves". It was and still is one of the weirdest things I have ever read, and I adore every mind bending second of it. In fact, that's how I got into Poe (although I had first heard her on the Playstation game, Apocalypse without knowing it).

  • When I heard this song it reminded me a lot of the atmosphere in The Spirit, and I thought it was pretty sick. This video has me thoroughly disappointed.

  • Wow wow wow! A beautiful girl and a queen adreena kinda music and a weird c

  • the song was based on her brothers book as was jonny. both great. fuck the haters

  • great song and greattttttt book

  • I think i found out Poe did this song... but even afterwards i SWORE it was Garbage... why??? lmao. I just looked for this song on Garbage's channel. lmao.

  • Poe's making a new album! thought i would spread the word to other fans. :)

  • As I'm scrolling through the comments, I notice a lot of people saying that "this isn't the way they thought the video would be," etc,

    I would just like to know what did all of you think that the video would be like? Did you think it would be her driving around LA in a convertible trying to pick up guys?

    The song is pretty much about sex, and so is this video. So someone point out the problem.

  • Wanna know something creepy? The guy that's narrating is her brother. That's a little weird lol.

  • @LongDriveChamp03

    Thats because those passages are from the book he wrote, which i cant remember the name of

  • @princessofdarklight

    House of Leaves

  • @LongDriveChamp03 Nothing creepy about it at all. In the book, (the book her brother wrote) "House of Leaves" the text is there completely. He is talking about another woman. Poe's album, House of Leaves, is dedicated to her brother's book.

    "Then murmuring a murmur so inaudible that even though I could feel her lips tremble against my ear, she seemed far, far away." -Gotta love it!

  • i wish that guy would stop talking so the pretty girl could sing her song....kind of a metaphor for L.A.

  • love her....songwriting skills and image , though this is not what I thought the video would be....but maybe this by design

  • Poe!! I absolutely worship this girl.. I think you really have to have poetry in your soul to get her..This clip rocks, her albums rock and she rocks.. Thanks for posting this!!

  • .....Not sexy.

  • this.. is.. weird..... 

  • I love the staccato narration. It gives the song a gritty, dangerous feel. I’ve never heard anything else like it.

  • this video is evil, nothing what i thought it was gonna be like.

  • Thanks Kevin, for reminding me how much I love this song - and this version with the poem in it....

  • I like the video. The song is kind of perverted, dirty, so the video fits it perfectly. I guess it's the only way to make a video for this kinda song. Beautiful.

  • who cares about the damn video. she just needs to be noticed for the music not the video.

  • this video killed the fantasy i had for this song fuck.

  • @AMARILLO333

    Same..

  • Saw her unplugged in Santa Barbara in '96...she's all growed up now--hubba hubba! Mee,YOW! Talk about Grrrl power--she can angry my Johnny ANYTIME! :)

  • Atta Girl!!!!!

  • poe is fukcin hawt 

  • her video 's suck her songs are awsome wish she would have taken a little bit more of a gothic edge to the video.

  • @MsMoonfire I don't think so. I like it the way it is.

  • O love this song it reminds me of when it was popular many years ago :) I love poes pretty green eyes

  • i love this band. i love Mark Danielewski

    <3<3

  • video sucks, nothing drives like a BMW

  • the video is not at all what i would have expected for this awesome song. I love both versions, and have sang the other version in karaoke more times than not.

    I'm in a building that has two thousand floors

    and when they all fall down

    I think you know it's you they're fallin' for

    I can't forget I am a soul architect

    I built the shadows here

    I built the growling voice I fear

    You add it up but to do better than that

    You've got to follow me

    Boy, I'm trying to show you where I'm at

  • Cool! I've been looking for this remix! The original is cool, and this version is a nice variety.

  • The correct answer is "87".

  • FUAROCK

  • I like HER singing but the dude that was talking was annoying.

  • @Karitwilightmist the dude talking is her brother 'Mark Z Danielewski', it's an excerpt from his book 'House of Leaves', this CD is a sort of companion piece to the book.

  • wooooow- fucking flaaaash back

  • At 2:32 when the song breaks into a jazz segment, I think she cold do much better as a jazz singer than rock. Although the song reminds me a lot of something garbage would put out. She has that sexy smokey voice of a jazz singer.

  • lol reminds me of "pepper" by the butthole surfers

  • the soap.... ha.

  • DAmnnnn want her back!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ok, I looked this up because I really wanted to hear the song. I'd never seen the video and I have to say, I don't really care for it. I love the vocals, and the smooth sound of the whole thing. I even like the spoken word portion, which was part of the original catch for me. I like the car too, but the writhing around all covered in fake dirt is just gross to me, not sexy at all. I do not like how this video cuts off early at the very end. Still five stars simply for being the song I like.

  • @RomanoGiovanni WOW she is so pretty....

  • You all missed the House of Leaves quote that opens it. Kyrie and the whole zipping up Mulluhond? Really? That's a direct quote from the section from the girlfriend of the Gnask man!

    Ah! Points go to the sister of MZD! Haunted kicked some awesome ass.

  • Fast! Slow! Fast Fast! Slow! This song is too sexy, you just want to grab some hot piece of ass and take them for a drive. Lol!

  • The song itself is amazing... however this video is just bad. terrible. It's not what I expected at all, so disappointing. Awesome song though :\

  • she makes me want to dump my boyfriend and go straigh!!!!

    I love her any news as to when her new album is goin to come out ???

  • LOL!! That's a good one.

    I remember when this song came out, it would never get off the radio. Great song, great times. This song came out in the first half of 2001. I miss those days- pre-9.11 2k1.

  • SHE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

    realpoe DOT ning DOT CEE OH EM

  • really? cool gotta read that......

  • the guy speaking is her brother and what hes saying from his book.

  • The video is a muddy nonsensical blubber, but we have Poe on show, and I can sort of settle for that. Whereas the feast for the eye may be a tad unnecessary, it's all fun, and I very much doubt she was taking herself seriously while filming this.

  • The nonsensical blubber is her brother, the author of House of Leaves, reading from it. They influenced each other's works while he was working on it.

  • Comment removed

  • Apart from the mud wrestling, I like this video. Her dancing is sexually charged, somehow fitting the song.

  • this "video" killed the illusion the song had for me. fuck this garbage.

  • Agreed.

  • Agreed. Just gives me a dirty feeling instead of a sexy one.

    Bad dirty.

  • @vm46

    She's wonderful and under-appreciated, but I agree with you about the video.

    The song is slick, leather, black, dark, confident, cool, and classy-sexy.

    The video could work maybe work as a tongue-in-cheek thing for a peppy song of some sort, I guess. But here it is a train wreak.

    She and her brother are awesome, but the mud wrestling is just stupid. Not sexy, not kitschy, not funny.

    Fault is likely low budget, bad director, bad art design guy.

  • Comment removed

  • She looks like she's having fun.

  • @vm46 yeah my friend send me the link and said don't watch the vid just listen

  • @vm46 Agreed

  • @vm46 Cheers to that. This video sucks. Was she trying to make fun of main stream pop videos or what? 2 thumbs down to this video.

  • @vm46 I like Poe a lot but this video ... can't say I like it so much.

  • @vm46 im suRe theres some penis videos around here somewhere. chill

  • @vm46 me too this song has been haunting me for years off and on

  • @vm46 << I'm in full agreement with you. There was and maybe still is a version without the irritating narration using film from Batwoman or Catwoman. Personally, I wish somebody would do a good video for a great song.

  • If you like Poe, you will probably like Brandy Rain.

    Check her out on our channel please!

    <3

  • I miss poe <3

  • I didn't know that she is from Poland.Really hot chick.

  • she isnt from Poland she is American

  • @ARIESKUB3275 Sorry my mistake Her father born in Poland He's name Tad Danielewski.American film director who died 1993.

  • whats her real name?

  • Okay? So, if the song was profiled in a Ford commercial then what's up with the classic Cadillac in the video? Why not a classic Mustang or T-Bird?

  • wholly erotic...and they wonder why I prefer a stick shift...

  • i touch myself everytime i hear this song...

  • How the hell does she not have more music out? grrrr. I wana slap the record companies.
