[Generationingeta]

but great video

[Generationingeta]

stupid song

[mishamishanti]

i love janis !never never again mercedes benz



[SavyBear]

Oh Janis -333 my hero

[Ms1danny]

ur a great singer ppl now days just dont get the meanin behind the old stuff like i do ni love it n ya im 21

[Isis2410]

O, Lord why won't you give me a time machine? So I can listen to some real music.

[willong1000]

Entertaining video--nicely done. I didn't appreciate Janis enough while she was alive; a mistake many people made--just look at the cruel comments her classmates made about her. How many singers could produce an acapella work this entertaining and enduring?

Also, what's with the haters? Can't they see that, indeed, Janis was making ironic social commentary about shallow materialism, and religious hypocrisy?

[gunsrule223]

FUCKING GAYEST SONG EVER LOSER

[beatleslvrfl]

@gunsrule223 umm nooo your the loser this is a great song by a great song! if you dont like it then why did you listen to it????

[Bribasse82]

This is religion in a nutshell.

[SarahSdizzle]

Janis is amazing, and so is this song. The people who dont understand it and dont like it, clearly cant get what she was is singing about. and there fore should just keep listening to their rap music.

[jewellssweety]

@SarahSdizzle : absolutely, people should pray to God for love and peace, not just about themselves. If money brought happiness then God would give it to us.

[tomtej]

ale hujowy teledysk :/

[horrorfan1231]

wat the fuck are you dissing on janis joplin if you are thats no t cool at all you douchebag she is more famous intelligant and creative then u ever will be.

[popra007]

Oh lord wont-you buy me a Mercedes-Benz!!! My friends do not drive a Porsche, so even a Porsche will do :D

I have ben driven MBz's E-klasse, S-klasse and I'm telling that is seriousely the best car in the world :)

[LadyLotus13]

I thought you did a good job with the video.

Janis is the shit. This song is my favorite song from her. It makes you think. That is so our society. Very shallow and very very materialistic.

I seen on someones' comment that this was recorded a few days before she died. Is that true? Long live Janis.

[Shipoopi4u]

@LadyLotus13 yeah this was the last song that was recorded before her death.

[juggalo4life141]

Hate the 27 club!! to many great people died at 27

[markmyers1000]

fuck you who dont like janis

[dragondream21]

Love Janis need friends on here...

[meekmop]

I hate the 27 club :(

[anirak90]

such an inspiring song

[Aurelia511]

great video  very hilarious 5* xD

[TaraHalliday]

watch this video while high.

it's even funnier :)

[DarioMusic83]

Great video :-D

[nottooquickjonny]

no but i like it anyway

[nottooquickjonny]

wow nice vid

[raitiovainu]

Great song ,horroble video

[katey1dog]

I think Edwad Currant got his idea for the Prayermax 5000 from this song.

[24THINK]

well, i guess the best way to describe this woman is to say that she was ugly and also very beautiful

[AngelCel227]

*Very* nicely done. My CD of Janis has her giggling at the end of this and I've seen elsewhere that this was recorded days before her death. If this is true it makes it somehow all the more poignant.

Thank you for this.

[bonham19]

It's funny because God and consumerism go hand in hand, they're not opposites.

[cleats63]

Sarcasm. That's what the song is. God and consumeristic lust do not go together. That is what the song is about. "Prove that you love me and buy the next round." Can anyone rea lly think the song is being literal?

That said, it IS fun to sing it.

[YsiIsard]

Was für eine Stimme. Schade, daß die Besten immer zu früh sterben.

[flyingkites333]

A song of great social and political import- that was Janis always thinking and looking out for us. Loved you then and still now Janis. Miss you deeply.

[reikimom3]

Really cool video! it's fun... and fits!

[sham1956]

Good Job just sit back and enjoy the song

[kakitk]

buy me Porshe ill buy you Mercedes Benz :)

(Jesus was jew)

[jackayjunior]

german cars!!!!!!!!

[PhanAntje76]

Thweeet !

[reneej72]

she was "thinking" about the politics that be at that time that there was no way us regular folks could afford a fancy car, color tv or night on the town. ya know, kinda like things are NOW???

[mick4eire]

well said!

[bambamcvr]

LOL That is why it is called a LUXURY. Want something nice better yourself and work smarter.

[reneej72]

Hmmm...I am an RN and those Luxuries, are still hard to come by. Lovely economy!

[bambamcvr]

Exactly you should have learned to become a Dr. Were you under the impression RN's were going to be wealthy in any country? Oh by the way there is not one better economy in the world, however I will gladly look at any stat that tells you there is a richer country. I can send you 100's.

[bambamcvr]

The median expected salary for a typical Staff Nurse - RN in the United States is $60,764. After taxes that is what like 42k a year? You should not be able to afford 2 kids luxuries with that income.

[FunkyMarshall]

Stop being an ass! All Janis is trying to say is that she can only pray for these things. Think about it for a minute. Even rich lawyers and surgeons drive Honda Civics and Chevy Cobalts. The economy sucks right now and its hard for anyone, even people with $200,000 a year salaries to afford things. It is luxury but if the government keeps taking our money, then no one will be able to afford these things. Shove your comments up your ass you just insulted someone who could one day save your life!

[bararah]

Right.

[Jum81]

Funny

[saintclaire2008]

GREAT!  ;)

[gawoor]

She's got amazing voice !

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

this is a great song, but what's with the bit at the beginning? what do you mean what was she thinking?

[MarkMck1994]

U will find the Black mercedes benz that pops up is actually the Maybach/ mercedes they are a mix of both moters

[teodoroamigos]

Vaya mierda de imágenes. Que ganas de joder la canción.

[crazymandx]

i have a question how does it help politakel shit

[crazymandx]

u played the hole song!!!!!!thats a first!!!

[dogdigger50]

i love janis. no one could do a song like her.

[KyranGeraghty]

When Janis wrote this she owned and drove a Porsche! So her tongue was planted firmly in her cheek!!

[PaulieRomanov]

Janis Joplin's dead,but why won't Miley Cyrus OD?

[Lumryan]

Agreed.

[EvaRoth]

A very lovely video!!

[1944george]

you may do me

[1944george]

total ten

[budwardo420]

fucking stupid. yes, thats what the song is about. cars. jackass

[agthorn]

good vid ... and you didn't 'chop' the audio on the end like another did. Miss the 'that's it' though with Janis's cackling laughter at the end. Love this song and only Janis can do it.

[sphinxrising58]

I was rolling the first time I heard this, lol

[violet2048]

Outstanding! 5*****

[ChefDan1981]

I LOVE THE VID!!!

[jprelude97]

redneck and honky and hick national anthem

[shamaturdoor]

what the hell do they mean in the beginning

by "what was she thinking?"

[vogepopper]

Brilliant!

[circle43cm]

"Dialing For Dollars" was a T.V. program in the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area during this time

- middle and late 1960's. I was in High School there at the time. This song made perfect sense.

[starchildrebel]

I laughed all the way through the video it was great!

[1957FordFairane]

"what was she thinking" are you seriously that dence you can't understand what she's trying to say. I mean it shouldn't take an english major to figure it out. the message is pretty straight forward

[Lina43]

1957FordFairane, l agree with you so! The message IS clear to anyone who is interested. l don't listen to Janis Joplin, l have to confess. However, this song is one of my favourites.

[Bainseyboi]

i dont like her voice

[Ermengarde11]

Oh man, for a minute there I thought it said the DOOBster!!!

I love the praying kitty and the lounging kitty look just like my Squeak Daddy.

This is so funny, I have added it to my Janis playlist and 5 stars and I'll share it too!

[KISSEXKISS]

i remember when Yasorg sing this song ! i love this song !

[harty1964]

thanks @ thedobbster13 for that funny vid. :o)

thanks @ janis for that great song :o)

[HansVonMigel]

acorrding to the movie s class,good choice

ps: peace

[goldengardendog]

nicely done

[sophiasophal]

shes very good

[phoebehalliwell8989]

i dont think its a bad song... but not one of the bests...

RIP MY DEAR

[PopularBabi]

The first time I heard her sing, I thought she waz kindda bad, but now that I have gotten used to it, I like it a lot!!! Go Janis!!

[kacha1202]

funny video and the song is great! Janis rocks!!!!:):)

[cwinter]

The worst song Janis ever did! She went from a great Blues singer then degraded to this country & western slock.

[slickskillet123]

the song is great.you're just a bitter old queen that the 60s passed by.you are not hip you never were hip.

[batmanandelmo01]

@slickskillet123 well since you shared your opinion ill share mine just because she used drugs because she was loney doesnt make her bitter also she was just 27 so there goes the old queen bit and i may be only 19 but i obviously understand her music and why she did the things she did better then some old idiot who just likes to find the negative in everything

[slickskillet123]

@batmanandelmo01 i was'nt talking about Janis you fucking moron.

[KosmicJanis]

This song was a parady Janis wrote on a napkin at a bar with one of her friends on a break from recording. She never meant for it to be released, it was her way of blowing off some steam. When she died during her last album recording session, they scrambled for tracks to release, and found this. So they released it posthumously. She was joking around and poking fun at the establishment and the ridiculous things people "pray" for. This was never meant to be a serious recording.

[Me6is]

Very poor video, but I like the song... But that song is not your, is it?

[LeanaJo76]

I love Janis Joplin. She's from my hometown Port Arthur-Beaumont area.

[x0fran]

what was she thinking?

she's making a comment about how people look for peace in the wrong places.

It's a stab at the consumerism of the world.

As if, of all the things in the world that one could pray for such as peace and strength, the most important is status quo.

[raph83130]

we love you forever Janis!!!!!!!!

[lilymunster08]

i love this video

[KatFleshataxD]

Janis Is Legend!!! JANIS FOREVER

[captainpiccard]

Haha funny

[edoweirdo]

[oktony61]

[lilymunster08]

this is great song. & i love this video

[sarcastic73]

*REST

[sarcastic73]

reat in peace janis. love forever

[words2notes]

Hi Janis - I can see you smiling and driving a Mercedes Benz - Porsche - Hydro car in heaven. Thank you for the song - and of course - thank you for the great collage.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.

Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,

So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

[NewYankee01]

lord you fucking let janis down without granting her her wish. You bastard. 40 years too late. Buy her a mercedes benz for heaven. If there is one of course. And if you were real which hmm i doubt very much. i know she should have her memory respected and her songs cherished but ive used pictures the

[NewYankee01]

same way on some of my vids. Yeah she died too young and badly. we all know that but just because shes not with us its not ok to do that. Only to people who are alive. its not disrespecting her as such. And yes its quite funny.

[nzrunna]

hey Im 30 and my old man introduced me to this song and still one of my favourites. You done an awsome job with the pictures good effort.

[yomatt92]

hey i was introduced to thisd song when i was in 5th grade and now iam in 9th ans i even respect this song its a "family" song when we were growing up!!1

[littlelady60]

i wish alll the old legends would come back ....we could better these days yes lord!!!!!

[carlosito1979]

y do u bother whats on the pictures? The song what matters. Thank god its not messed up...

[Pelonxaz]

eesta fenial, yo amo ajanis joplin y este video me parecio de lo mejor, los ke se enojan no saben lo ke es ser un buen seguisor... deberias hacer otro, ....you must do another one...

[MrStabby909]

Are the pics supposed to be funny? 'cause they're not. Totally agree with acencat though, I think it's very important that we remember and appreciate the old legends (like Janis). I'm only 18 yo and it's really pisses me off when people act condescending towards older music.

[acencat]

U should show more respect for the QUEEN OF BLUES!!! I'm only 19 and I respect the legends of great music and this is an AWSOME SONG!!!!!!!!!!

[Brian090]

is this the original version?

[DaNnYpHaNtOmSaSs]

RIP Janis :O

[michele585]

i love this song my dad introduced it to me a while ago now i know tha song better than him lol

[oktony61]

hey prettyinpinklovesyou

you shoulg know what ya talking about before posting,but im guessing you are young,so let me me fill you in, Dialing For Dollars was a tv show, where during comedy shows they would pick numbers from a phone book and call the person and they would have a chance to win some dollars......that is where the line in the song came from..thank you

[michele585]

nice to pretty in pink im young too butt my dad told me all about that :-)

[prettyinpinklovesyou]

it is diving for dollars no DIALING FOR DOLLARS GET IT RIGHT!!!!!!!

[oktony61]

So sorry prettyinpink,YOU are the one who needs to get it right, it is.... dialing for dollers is trying to call me.(Dialing for dollars) Was T.V. show during this time.

[ladygaladrielno1]

heehee i love the way she laughs teehee

[bigrobmjca]

[melvidmom]

great song really stupid video

[HailZone]

Did you make a better one? Easy to criticize, man, but since it's a studio song there isn't a video so stick with the LIVE sets and at least THANK ther person who posted it. Goddam!

[freshnightsky]

Just incredible, I think I get what she means. Some might think, why would this queen of soul sell herself upstream. But, nay, I say. If I am not mistaken, this woman was speaking out and pointing out one of the greatest sicknesses that this cool country has and that is the greed and exquisite materialism. Impossible to achieve. Impossible I say! Take heed all the commercially motivated sheep.

[countrymusicfan1]

thanks jakiblue i was wondering wat it meant thanks x

[jakiblue]

I loved it!!!Just to let you young kids know, Dailing for Dollars was a morning showing of a movie, and at certain intervals thru out the movie, they would spin a BIG money wheel and then chose a phone number that one had sent which was inside a gigantic spinny thing!!! And of course, a name and number wounld be dailed and you had to answer the hourly question. That is dailing for dollars!!!

[luisfiori]

Ella tenía el fuego sagrado.

[knudbrynolf]
