someone great

[deathizzardcake]

I'd love to see you do this live one day.

[MurBbrown]

throughout all of amanda's work there have been changes. the first dresden dolls album sounded different from the second, her first solo album sounded different from the dolls last album; but, they were all good quality and entertaining. I'm so goddamn bored of this ukulele =/

[redflags420]

@MurBbrown maybe if she was as good at ukulele as she was piano it'd be a bit more entertaining

[MurBbrown]

throughout all of amanda's work there have been changes. the first dresdesn dolls album sounded quir

[rakash0500]

Thank you. I feel wonderful inside now.

[euanrfc]

Wow, that was fucking horrible

[howavantegarde]

amanda what are the chords to this??

[vulvathegreat]

@howavantegarde I'm probably wrong on this one but I've been just playing g. d minor, f and c and it sounds good enough for me lol :p

[Sanushikuto]

@howavantegarde G dm F C

[XTheXRagXDollX]

I need a ukelele, and a friend with a kazoo. It puts a smile on my face to just watch how much fun is to be had.

[mick129]

This really sounds like The Magnetic Fields.

[vulvathegreat]

Everything you do is magic :)

[OrMush]

Nobody plays ukelele as sexy as amanda ;)

[dreiwbird]

i LOVE YOU Amanda, I want to have your adopted baby. You Uber Amazing, a great woman, thank you. I just love you, thank you. Dreiw Bird

[lenartnei]

its just beautiful, thank you....

wish i could explain how useful this will be to show a song that great to that someone great - who happens to hate what she calls "electronic music"

(cause i'll miss her so much)

[KornEvanFan24]

lol at youtube (anonymous/pointless) arguments. Btw, Amanda, your hair is fucking rad all the time, but in this photo especially.

[eekcarlos]

i love the whistle thingy :D

[Cameronx]

Casey Long is quite adorable. Just all sorts of sweetness. This video was correctly categorized under Education.

[WindyJ]

I <3 you Amanda Palmer, this is great! I wish with all my heart that you would do a tour somewher near the midwest. Poor omaha is lacking!

[helefitta]

just curious about the logic behind this: "oh, this song is perfect. just needs some kazoo". get the fuck out of here with this. Someone Great is the greatest pop song of the past ten years and I take personal offense at this bullshit.

[helefitta]

@Fortwangle the kazoo is a valid instrument for disco and old school rap. it´s totally not valid for this song, or maybe it´s valid in the sense that it makes this exceptionally shitty cover even shittier.

[ashiz590]

@helefitta then don't watch it and stop spreading your sourness. your comment is bullshit and i take personal offense to it. i'm sure amanda appreciates all feedback including criticism but she's also a human with feelings so you could at least be polite about it :) i, however, loved this video, it made me happy so i will spread some happiness cus i'd like to do more than survive i'd like to RUB IT IN YA FACE! it's been a lovely day, everything's been going my way, i had so much fun today!

[helefitta]

@ashiz590 you know this song is about death and loss right? If that makes you happy cool, but I have a feeling you're just too stupid to actually listen to it. In that case: REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. Most likely painfully. And alone. Have a nice day.

[ashiz590]

@helefitta she didn't do this to make herself miserable, she did it because she was bored, obviously. i do realize i'm going to die, seeing as i have Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2, stuck in an electric wheelchair, 20 pills a day, slowly collapsing lungs & just got out of the hospital January 5th after being there for 22 days, (but you're too ignorant to know how it feels to actually be dying.) JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE DEFENDING A SONG AND NOT A PERSON, it doesn't care if you defend it or not.

[helefitta]

@ashiz590 OK maybe that comment backfired -sorry I guess . anyway you're the one defending a person. to be totally real here: I know lots of people who make terrible music, even as terrible as this cover version. being as it they are my friends, I can't really call them out on it as much as it painfully needs to be done. If I see someone else doing it though I'm relieved, because somebody really have to let them know. So basically I'm doing you a favor by calling out your friend. Someone had to.

[helefitta]

@ashiz590 oh and by the way being bored is not a valid reason to make music. or on second thought maybe it is, but not for sharing it with other people.

[mmmaijina]

amanda`s beautiful and her voice is powerful.and i wish to do that smth with her ;)

[mmmaijina]

amand`s so hot

[FilmNoirPunk]

setunim 01 ? you look gay with that check thing shirt.

[johnmusketeer]

@amandapalmer is it for free ? by the way even though I think U R better than GAGA, why don't you do smth. 2gethtaaaaa, ,,,, love from dresden

[Foresee]

I want a ukulele after watching this =[

[SkasTheNameOfTheGame]

ahahahahhaa is the the uber dyke shirt???

[ohkaleidoscope]

kazoos should be used more often in music, i believe

[LittleSelfia]

You are the Queen of Covers.

[amanangel95]

[Drockleberries]

Thankyou!

[slinkstercool]

i loooove your version. download on bandcamp? yes yes yes yes??

[OrnellaLeone]

(L)

[pang5]

Ahaha. You guys look like you had fun. When you started on the "when someone great is gone" madness, however, my cat's ears went back and her eyes got all saucery and dark. I backed away. Slowly.

[nathanniles]

does it keep coming? when does it stop again?

[ack303]

love this lcd soundsystem song!

[wookywooky91]

love you amanda!

[blatanville]

[Neurophysiologic]

I LOVE THIS! You're cool.

[AFPisLOVE]

ummm. have i told u that i love you? Well. I do. Again and again.

[GLsJAwtomatica]

This song always makes me think of Michael Jackson; also Todd Lewis of The Toadies does an amazing cover of this.

[rhiafaery]

Sheer brilliance. My dream is now to sit around playing the ukulele with you guys.....

[manus21]

love that the video is in the education category :)

[KateReadsBooks]

I will always love you no matter what.

[omarmolko]

just the way u perform the songs and everything is amazing, i love ur music

Come to Mexico =D

[TheAmnesiaGrrl]

I really hope you come to Ontario, Canada soon. I've never seen you perform live before. I'm only 15 and I've only known about your work for 2 years but I'm a huge fan.

[serendipity4212]

@TheAmnesiaGrrl I second that. You should do a Canadian tour -there are lots of cities that would probably LOVE to have you!

[presocraticamente]

love this song. i'm thrilled to hear you singing it.

[pysogat]

make sure you visit us in London, we miss you.

[scentoflime]

[katbite]

[stenina84]

[TheVoraciousSnapmare]

I want to meet you so bad lol! Can I buy you a beer sometime? Hypothetically?

And yes more music!

I assume the second babe is cassanda long? Just a guess lol, she seems fun and sexy also.

[caoimhin92]

I second the new cd motion.

we did something...we did two things..ok, technically we did three. lmao

[suavekitty]

<3 Sending LOVE to you <3

[HaliseW87]

I was listening to this while I was getting ready for work...but eventually I found myself watching and changing...and then I realized I had put my black dress pants on inside out. I think this is a compliment? Well done.

[rhbxyz]

St. Amanda! The patron Saint of the Lovable!

[ugoliberti3]

Cassie showed you up. She had way more energy :p Gotta step up your game! Also, this is awesome. Much love.

[hauntedfolk]

[winterwinwin]

Ha! Awesome. :) Great job as usual love.

[arthursucks]

I love you.

[dreadlockandload]

fuck.yes.

[goosefat101]

You can make handy harmonica style kazoo holders out of a wire coat hanger and a bit of sellotape. It works well for songs where you want to play guitar/uke + sing + do kazoo.

[KacieKluts]

Ughhhhhhhh. You are seriously my hero. It is my mission to meet you.

THERES NO HIDING AMANDA..NO HIDDDINGGG.

;) <--For effect...affect?....EAFFECTTT.

[Beram42]

You are both so wonderful.

[iTubeQQQQQ]
