What's the Use of Won'drin'? -Amanda Palmer & Vermilion Lies-

[eakinj]

A friend of mine sent me a spastic txt message saying "AMANDA WAS AT DICKENS HERE LOOK" and sent me this link. Of course it's from three years ago. lol. I'm sort of shocked I didn't see people I know who work Dickens anywhere. will have to look closer. cool video made me feel warm and fuzzy and miss my wayward friends

[LittleMissMoose]

wow. love this video. i knew there'd be a sick twist.

[okukbill]

Amanda only sings songs with an ironic twist, and this is double ironic. The sentiment is 180 degs out of phase with her thinking and most modern women's thinking so they very gently send it up. But wow, how they send it up, while their voices do great homage to the music. As a man born in the forties, there is part of me that would enjoy it if women still felt that way to men. But thank god they don't!!

[KrystaNalis]

I cannot describe the awesomeness of this in mere words...

[AlwaysTeatime]

Zoe, Kim and Amanda are great together... I'd like to see them actually collaborate on a song.

[WhiteMorphine]

Oh what could be better!!!!

[LollirotLolita]

Is this really her singing? I have never heard her sing like this before!! O.O it amazes me.

[smellslikechildren1]

The beginning isn't. Halfway in, she starts to sing. Her voice is the deeper one.

[wearyourinsideout]

@LollirotLolita Its actually Annie Clark Sining

[angelfireburger]

i love her shes what inspired me

[snowhlte]

i LOVE how she can sing beautifully high like this, and also very low. it's always beautiful

[morougie]

I'm pretty sure she's actually lip syncing to Annie Clark of St. Vincent's part.

[GlennCraven]

My daughter likes this version better than the studio video. ... I kind of think she's right! (Amazing that it was done in one take.)

[amilano33]

this video is one fantastic *sigh*....and that is a good thing!

[Iluvthosetightp]

Is there Annie Clark in the video??

[xFinalxHeavenx]

No, it's just Amanda with the Vermilion Lies girls.

[sherrieganly]

Thought provoking I love it!

[SweetDisaster666]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! i loveeee youu sooooo muchhhh <3

[TurtleThunder73]

sssighhhhhhhhhh :)

[XshattereddreeamsX]

I think I love this more than the actual video, but they're both really great :]

[botneva]

Аманда круче всех, идите в жопу.

AFP rules!

[HelloAbby]

what a difference HD makes!

[joeyvoh]

But Amanda only sings from the bridge (1:32) on. This video is amazing when ur flying!

[FiltheeSepsis]

Amazing.I love it.Who Killed Amanda Palmer is an amazing album.I love it!

[iceteabeingstirred]

Amazing song. Amazing voice. Amazing performance. If only it wasn't flickering. Warning: if you're prone to seizures as I am, don't watch this video!!! Just listen to it :)

[MillsApparatus]

What's the big deal? I'm epileptic and I watched it withouliukvhevds.ukgajvdsmnf.e­/afdizo'gggggggggsaaaaaacuuuuu­uuuuuuuuukkkkjbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

[Redzhotel]

lmao you are so bad.

[KatKatarax121]

@MillsApparatus us epileptics shouldnt be stopped from watching amanda palmer!

[xdmatthew]

When I first heard this song I was so impressed by Amanda's voice, but meh , what else is new !

Now this is the best video possible for it, sweet, blurry (I think I like it better that way) and with a dash of weirdness .

Long Live AFP !

[girlsorrow]

Annie Clark is the one singing throughout the entire begining. Amanda Palmer doesn't start until after the bridge. I have to say that Annie has a much better voice but Amanda still impresses me here! =)

[riku4488]

So you say, I still say Amanda has the better voice.

[Crazee108]

I fucking cried. How pathetic, this is where i am in life atm... i can't believe a song actually exists for it... ='(

[XxJellyBeanSkullsxX]

Forget Dodger. next time I have a problem, I'll think...

What would the Artful Amanda Palmer do?

[1wickedlady]

AMANDA FUCKIN PALMER!

lie me down on ma mac n fiddle with what the fuck you like a fuckin loveeeeeeeee you sexy batch

*big lickie loves*

[chrisdonia]

Oh! I see. What a grin at the end; subversive, I like it :)

[xBakaHime]

This video never fails to make me feel better again. Thank you so much.

[creepycoyote]

I love this, everything about it. And I appreciate the old-time style in which the video was made, with the film grain and the backdrop and costumes.

[asymptote003]

sigh... she makes my soul ache.

[JustBreath24]

a- ing-men

[voidfastcall]

блин, что за фигня, почему сестрички лайес не своими голосами поют, они и так милые(

i dont know engish well to translate it

[NoirOfVeins]

Сам ты фигня.

[voidfastcall]

да нет, ет аманда факин палмер фигня; ваще убогий клип

[NoirOfVeins]

Как раз наоборот. Мир дураками полнится...

[endematic]

What a beautiful woman. (:

[Rapitinui]

I think she goes higher than this on "Delilah"?  This is a great cover.

[raboston728]

Really, really interesting.

I wonder why she hasn't pulled out the really high voice for any other songs so far.

You just keep on surprising me, Amanda Palmer.

[AidenStrickland]

Haha, because THAT was vermillion lies

[JustBreath24]

Vermilion Lies doesnt sing on this. The high voice is Annie Clark, Vermilion Lies is just liping it for the video.

[HyperGoth7]

How cool! I was there and I didn't see her...oh well. It's an amazing fair though, everyone. Unmissable if you're in San Francisco around Christmas!

[GregRP]

Personally, I LOVED the lady in the over the top pink outfit who kept re-appearing in the background. Was it Mrs. Finching perhaps?!?

[spacie21]

aww! that was so awesome! =D

[xminecastx]

i was just watching a dream....so pretty!

[OverlordJake]

Amanda makes some awesome stuff.

[Marldance]

love the costumes

[HAMTAROisdead]

FABULOUS.

[tonksloopy]

beautiful video, very dark and sinister meaning behind the lyrics.

luvs it

[sacramedia]

ok,once more then....I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1126thmp]

Just like watching The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, but with the best singer ever!

[KikiChaos]

katie kay and erin :D yaaaay

[cattaylor2]

It was fun to be part of too.

[BillGates999]

Thats my fav song on the album! Great video! Thanx!

[XXTOKIOHOTELXXX]

luv itt

[Placebo4baby03]

Fuck. I went on the day after thanksgiving this year. =[

[SevenSkellington]

Reminds of how in the old movies they always used to dub the singing voices. Love her!

[NixGalith]

i love it! <3

[SomethingPretentious]

This is great<3

[amysacrifice]

Ah! The lyrics of this... Misogyny at its finest.

[Kokezaru]

It -is- Annie Clarke. xP. I was listening and thought it was kind of backwards. <3 Cute.

[PandasforCatnip]

(: I love how Amanda's the one lipsynching when she's not singing in the recording, then when she comes in the other girls are lipsyncing.

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

so now thats a video for every song on the 'who killed amanda plmer', right?

[NinaQueenofSpades]

I don't believe there are videos for "Blake Says" or "Have to Drive", are there?

[AndyUnwritten]

There's no video for runs in the family either. But there is another one coming soon.

[TildaTaddeck]

yes there is, dont know if it still on youtube thoug. But its gorgeous and my favorite!

[Rapunzel2U]

There's a WKAP music video for Runs in the Family...

[AndyUnwritten]

Oh, Thanyou.

[Lyco499499]

uh..yes there is.

[AndyUnwritten]

Uh, yes I've already been told. But thanks for the late update!

[Lyco499499]

Ah, bad sarcasm, how I've missed you since my school years.

[AndyUnwritten]

I could say the same for douchebags.

[bleeding9]

oh how i wish there was....my two fav. off her album!

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

wow looks awesome in HD

[kohlcass]

Is it Amanda singing on this one? Beautiful voice, whoever it is

[AlterEgo1990]

it's sung by st vincent's annie clark & amanda (listen closely, you'll hear where amanda comes in..)

[tjmuller]

ya, amanda gonna be my baby momma... dats fo sho nukka.

[iamcoolalot]

very powerful message, i love it.

[D0llanganger]

i love it amanda!

you did an amazing job.

it was so beautiful.

best christmas gift ever.

:D

[ElArlequin]

I believe this is probably one of the most BEST SUITED video for a lyric.

SIMPLY amazing. I would love to have Annie's participation on this video.

Congrats Amanda and happy Xmas to you.:)

I hope 09 comes with joy and success for you and the ones you love.

[RebeccaMuthafucka]

Every video Amanda makes (dolls or solo) is ALWAYS fucking amazing!

[imthegrinch]

you are made of 100% awesome sauce! amazing and beautiful as always =-)

[bigahoc7]

Vermillion Lies is one of the most fun I have ever had at a live show and Amanda is just awesome and near goddess like so this video is instantly one of the greatest things on youtube.

[DjMorglith]

I love this recording! Annie Clark is such a great performer too! If you ever get to see St. Vincent live go for it!

[mystimayhem]

I wish people with this kind of talent were abundant where I live. I would sell my soul at the crossroads to be a part of fun productions such as this. I heart the ending creds, the font rules.

[melantha71]

ADORABLE!

[livingvampyre666]

awesome. i wasnt sure if she was gonna do anymor vids from WKAP or not.

and shes lookin pretty hot in that dress.

[penelopedreadful]

Awesome vid. Can't believe I missed you that day. I absolutely love the Dickens Fair, and it looks like you all had as much fun as I did.

[dcolew]

Wow.

[AriaRose]

lol. So pretty. I love it.

Happy holidays and New Year's and all that jazz to you too. <3

[Rapunzel2U]

That was fucking amazing, especially for one take. I love festivals that you can dress up for, especially literary festivals.

[sknywhtboy88]

Okay, now just fucking do something for Blake Says and Have To Drive, you might as well XD

[Sarix35]

fuckin' adorable. sad, though if you think about it...

i ruv amanda palmer<333

[nathanniles]

Thanks Amanda :P that will probably be the most interesting thing I have gotten for Xmas.

[oizephyr14]

[mrobinson9992]

Amanda Fucking Palmer... your absolutely fucking gorgeous.

[Woblium]

dfkdfkdjhdfkjsdhfkhdslkfheoier­uuiewyfdsbfvmncb

vkjhgoweryeiowrutyri

[Lilypai]

i don't think amanda actually sings in this song at all- though im not sure! thats the impression i was under. because it would put serious strain on her voice and she had vocal surgery earlier this year

[kodochakhfan]

It's her voice :D

[doctoroddity]

she does, the first part is Annie Clark(of St Vincent), Amanda comes in at 1:32

[alotofcheese76]

oh yeah

i have this cd and i didnt think she sang this song

but i think she starts later in the song, but shes only like backup

[whenindoubt20]

Annie Clark of St. Vincent sings this song, and you're right, Amanda comes in at the end to do backup.

[elena2oo7]

i dont understand is that Amanda singing from the beginning or does she come in second?

[ColdandComposed]

i thought that it was amanda that comes in at like 1:50 in the song... and it's St. Vincent for the first/primary vocals

[everystarrfallxx]

amazing, amazing! this is beautiful!

[Scarrr]

Love your outfit! Haha!

[evilCookiez]

amanda, you rock my socks :]

[CestTamora]

Beautiful. The video didn't quite capture the sadness of the situation as the recording does, but it's beautiful and well-done nonetheless. Plus, what a great idea to shoot it at the Dickens Fair? Lovely!

Also, great job on the syncing, since you must've shot it doubletime. You got all the subtleties of the pacing and it ended up perfect. Great job!

Love love love!

-Tamora

[lindseyr093]

:)

I love you, Amanda.

[bluemaya14]

Beautiful..... truelly beuatiful..

I love this song.

[CabaretPrincess]

you so just made my day with this one...i love the song and was waiting for you to put it up...TAHNKS!

[toxxikvamp]

Thank you, Amanda. You just made my crappy holiday season that much brighter. We love you.

[DemonicFlyingUnicorn]

Beautiful Amanda.

[ChemicalTryst]

thank you Amanda, you always make things better at the right time.

[abruptdogma]

everything amanda does is art. Merry xmas amanda.

[CasperKupo]

I love it :)

[phantomdoodler]

i love this technique, the slowed down images with perfect vocal synch. i dpose you record it at double the speed so the mouths synch?

[LifesIrony]

Amanda is Amazing. I want all of her videos back!

[greypandatic]

amazing as usual :]
