  • If your just discovering Nick Cave now you've got a Pandoras Box to uncover, keep searching

    he's a once in a generation singer/songwriter and perfomer/ scriptwriter, he should be classed as a national treasure in Aus but very few here (in Oz) give him the accolades he deserves, we are a small minded country obsessed with the U.S. culture. Thank God for Nick, If you believe in that sort of thing.

  • i always imagined this song to be some strange obscure Orbison-era rock song when I was young and heard it in Dumb & Dumber. Since then, I've grown a lot. And this song cannot get rid of its tinge of nostalgic/esoteric mystery

  • "You're a microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan, designed and directed by his red right hand...". Amazing line!

  • ...CRIIIIIIIIIIIPES....i was robbed by a little old lady in a motorized cart..i didnt even see it commin.

  • This is fucking excellent

  • thanks to dumb and dumber i discovered nick cave hehe

  • Just discovered how damn good these artists are.. they will have my support.

  • god Nick I love you!

  • ARCTIC MONKEYS!

  • Damn! Such a great song!!!!

  • thumbs up if scream brought you here

  • Haha! so many comments about Nick being gay, he's had a woman in every bloody continent. He's a damn bitch magnet.

  • I first heard this song on 2X06 of The X-Files. I liked it instantly.

  • I always hear this twice in a row. Always

  • heeeeeeelllllbooooooooiiiii

  • I just realized that Nick's voice is a cross between Jim Morrison, Leonard Cohen and Satan. Terrific.

  • @jeithorpe You mean Jim Morrison, Leonard Cohen and Jim Morrison? xD

  • Hey guys please check out my music on my profile :) PUPSKI

    FACEBOOK. COM/PUPSKIMUSIC

  • Thumbs up if 'High School Musical 8' brought you here!

  • and*

    Song*

  • Yes, we all know what movie brought me here, but, still it was my choice to look Nick Cave up, nad besides, in Harry Potter you can only hear the very ending of the son O'children, but because of Nick's awesomness, I loved the song, and now am the owner of ALL Nick Cave albums. And yes, I don't give a god damn fuck, he's homosexual or not. This man truly is AWESOME!

  • This song was also in an old X files episode

  • Heard it awhile ago on dumb and dumber, saw scream today and that brought me here.

  • Arctic monkeys version = 1,000,000x better

  • Dumb and Dumber :)

  • Does any1 kno were this was recorded? I remember watching it just dont kno were i was.

  • Hellboy and Cirque du Freak brought me here.

  • @ThatGiraffeKid TvTropes brought me here.... your story is cooler

  • @ThatGiraffeKid me too ;)))

  • Thumbs up if Harry Potter made you seek out the song O children and then you instantly fell in love and clicked on the Youtube mix for Nick Cave...

  • @albinasamara - Sadly Nick Cave isn't very wide spread it seems. Although he has music in quite a few movies. (This one was played in one of the Scream movies), he also had a song in a Shrek movie. However, when I was in theaters seeing Harry Potter and heard Nick Cave I was like YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @FatAndJolly

    Yeah, he actually performs in Wings of Desire. I was hella stoked when I saw him, lol

  • thumbs up if scream brought you here

  • Scream <3

  • Very doors-esque

  • @geoffwoade no we're not

  • Petite feet.  Feminine step. Sounds like a lady when he walks into the room.

  • ΚΟ ΜΑ ΤΑ ΡΑ

  • Scream sent me here.

  • nick cave is nick cave: a true poet,a great songwriter...and his bands-the boys nextdoor,the birthday party and the bad seeds-are fuckin' great musicians!!!!

    hail to them!!!!

  • Nick Cave got me here. There are so many god songs from his band.

    Try Fifteen feet of pure white snow, that's my one !

  • If anyone puts "The Man" i am referring to mr cave.....please feel to pop by so i can set you straight...If I cannot use words my 9 will suffice....

  • Dumb and dumber.

  • Hey, I guess they're right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I'll be right back. Don't you go dying on me!

  • The only reason I got here is because my Dad is an accountant who couldn't account for the number of condoms left in the box. Surprise!

  • i want to know who of the 3,454 who liked this song knows the message is: "fuck the NWO ! "?

  • What's all this arguing over Nick Cage being a poof? This man could suck an entire truckload of dicks and still be cooler than you.

  • @MrWildtizzle you nailed it

  • @MrWildtizzle

    LOL- awesome man! No one commenting here will ever see as many beautiful women in their lifetimes as Nick!

  • @goodhumourwagon True, but then he'd kick them in the face.

  • @MrWildtizzle well farkin said

  • Arctic monkeys made this song awesome.

    Without them this song is WEIRD.

  • @XStarXPower we're all gonna go ahead and assume you're joking here

  • I got here because of scream.

  • i got here cause i fukin felt like it cunts

  • @Cnutlyass the capitilism crisis was caused by market impurities like ur mum selling her ass on the street

  • Lyrics are open to interpretation but to me it quite clearly sounds like making a seedy deal ! A deal with the devil as it where, only I don,t believe in religion!

  • spoonfork.

  • I'm here because I'm a cunt.

  • Scream brought me here! XD

  • I'm here 'cause  I just wanna hear some good music.

  • This is maybe the best written song ever. This song is about the capitalist war enslaver.

  • @shakeAbooty88 This song was made up of ad-libbed lyrics that were designed as a place-holder in the studio until he wrote something he was happy with. He just never changed them. A lot of Nick Cave's lyrics are like that. He's just so good with words that even his nonsense is better than some lyricists "masterpieces." But you're a twat for even using the words "capitalist war enslaver." Just so you know.

  • @ratpoisoner666 "Stacks of Green paper in his red right hand".

  • @shakeAbooty88 Very good. You're still wrong.

  • @ratpoisoner666 I'm not wrong. What I first wrote was not the entire story in that what i wrote wasn't ALL it's about, but like all great writing, you can stretch the "story" in this lyric to several hundred (or thousand, depending on your own imagination) pages.

    I don't think it's twattish of me to have used "the capitalist war enslaver".

    "It" doesn't exist as a quantifiable object, but we do fight wars for the benefit of those most powerful and influential, not for the good of our country.

  • @shakeAbooty88 I was listening to an interview with him only 2 days ago where he described writing this song. It was completely ad-libbed. It was not a song about "the capitalist war enslaver." He described it as "nonsense." But it's easy to read hidden meanings into his lyrics that simply aren't there. He's just that good.

  • @ratpoisoner666 It's all in the conscious vv unconscious realm. I'm a writer and an ex psychologist.. This crazy stuff often takes me by surprise.

  • @shakeAbooty88 Just so long as we can all agree that Nick Cave is awesome.

  • @ratpoisoner666 Thumbs up.

  • @ratpoisoner666 triple j froths on this cunt (and that is probably the only reason u like him). Anyway what im trying to say is that he is a fucking poof

  • @billllllyyyyyy1 That poof used to front the Birthday Party. The Birthday Party were psychotic. He used to kick the front rows of his audience with pointed boots. That he would kick an idiot like you in the head and continue on with the song like you were nothing is why I like him.

  • @ratpoisoner666 dont care!!!

  • @billllllyyyyyy1 and your a sardine........no one cares

  • @TheThetechnician dont care

  • @billllllyyyyyy1 haha fair enough mate......ya fukin tosser

  • @billllllyyyyyy1 I seriously doubt that. He's probably had more women than you had hot dinners. He's a ledge

  • @RachaelE100 i have never eaten a hot dinner in my life.......so yeah ur comment is bang on

  • @ratpoisoner666 And I do appreciate your appreciation of Nick. He's great.

    Peace.

  • Better than Leonard Cohen.... and I love Leonard.

  • @shakeAbooty88 Blasphemer...

  • @Qaoz Ah well... you know, I was just in the mood for Nick! The words here are pretty fantastic though, and a very good performance.

  • @shakeAbooty88 Can't argue with that. Nick is awesome.

  • THIS SONG IS FROM THE MOVIE DUMB AND DUMBER.

  • Русские везде!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I am mad about Cave!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I got here cause my mum and dad couldn't afford decent condoms.

  • @madaddies Well obviusly what you are trying to say is that you father had to good seeds. I got the bad seeds allright, and I love it!
