@shawnearth9 "Get rid of political contributions" ... ?!?!?!
The U.S. is in dire need of sweeping campaign financing reform, but you're being ridiculous. Political contributions are a constitutionally protected form of speech, and commercial interests do have a place in our legislature. It becomes problematic, however, when those interests eclipse that of the public, which is what we've observed for decades. Reform is necessary, but talk of eradicating campaign financing altogether is nonsense!
Remember folks, it's the pols put in office by big money, both Republican and Democrats that are screwing us. WE need to get rid of political contributions, lobbyists, etc... Then are vote will have more impact.
"vote for me and I will set you free." That more describes Obama than Bush. He was the one that was treated like some messiah figure by so many people. Now only those on the left does because they are loons anyway.
WAR AND THE MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT KEEP CAPITALISM GOING..THIS SYSTEM SUCKS....IT CAPITALIZES ON 98% OF US AND THE RICH LAUGH IN OUR FACES AND AT THE PAYCHECKS THEY SHOVE AT US..REVOLUTION.....
@rexrockandroll We can't LIVE on this. Soon...the rich will no longer be rich. It's all falling apart...and soon it will cave in on them. I've seen it happen before. You can't let it stress you out...too many are dying young from that. The stress kills. Things get worse for some...and better for some. We can't dwell on where it takes us...but we can do all we can to make it take the right path. We need to live...not die from this.
@bdjoh011 HUH? Why did you write this to me? I never mentioned that...did you confuse me with someone else on here? I do agree with you tho. Sadly tho...hatred won't stop....probably never will.
You know, this song was released 40 YEARS AGO and yet it still applies today. Goes to show how humans really don't change and great songs live forever.
ball of confusion the sale of pills are at an all time high! loracets, soma, xanax better known as the h town cocktail! as salaamu alaikum from mustafa
THE U.S GOVT IS THE BIGGEST PERPETRATOR OF RACISM IN THE WORLD. THE GOVT CREATED RACISM AFTER THE CIVIL WAR TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER THE PEOPLE. FUCK THE GOVT
SUCH A POWERFUL SONG AND VIDEO. GREAT ILLUSTRATION.
Living in a WORLD in total CHAOS!!!!!
I wish I could blast this song extremely LOUD throughout the entire WORLD at the same time in every language, to every country, culture religion, age group, race, creed and color.
Okay, I'm a old conservative old white guy from Alabama. But I get the video.
I was also one of handful of white folks in the audience in the late 60's at a packed out Temptations concert in Boutwell Auditorium downtown Bombingham.
I didn't know any better, and it was a GREAT SHOW!!!
When ever I hear C-rap music today, I have to come back to this.
@Bamaboompa I'm a 56 year old black woman and I have to agree....It's just a matter of talent!!!!!! I'm sure it was a great show in Boutwell Auditorium downtown Bombingham....LOL!!!!!!! Glad that you enjoyed the show:)
@Bamaboompa You sure got that right. I'm a slightly liberal from NY, and its great that we see eye to eye on c-Rap. However, our politcians had to get along with opposing members of Congress during this time. Now, it seems, that no one will compromise with anyone, and thats the new way to get elected. As in life, politicians need to compromise to get along, just as we ALL do to get along with everyday life
@Bamaboompa I'm an old conservative white guy from Selma. Bombingham -- 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. We had to choose a side -- no luxury of distance.
This song kicks ass like rest of the music from that time.
@Bamaboompa Are trying to funny with the word bombingham making mockery of those four black girls killed in church back in1964.you should of kept that to your self,
Still one of the best videos for a song I've seen here...I love how you have Kurt Cobain for the "Suicide" image - I remember when that happened, and it was a huge impact. Bravo Miss ;)
The more things change, the more they stay the same...I wish I could actually post what I really feel.....instead of the line "and the band plays on" I would just say and the lies go on....
OUTSTANDING!! It is a damn shame that the world has been this way for a long time. We really need to get it together, but I know I will not see it in my lifetime. Great job on the pictures to go with this video.... AWESOME STATEMENT! ;)
@kjchicago1 ~ Greedy Government, segragation, racism, poverty, drugs wars, rising unemployment, massive amounts of state assistance, and children growing up too soon. Um maybe you should listen to the words before voicing your opinion. I know what I am talking about, the only thing that has changed is the date!! You would understand if you knew what I field I am in. Thank you. Have a great day!
The title and lyrics apply today as they did when this song was written over 40 years ago! Politicians say MORE taxes will solve everything....and the band played on...sad.
History definitely repeats itself, and this song is as relevant today as it was when it came out (well, except for the whole Beatles thing). Pretty sad, if you ask me.
@Jaci1971 Latest Beatles record released 18th October 2010! They're still selling even though they are resample/remasters and repackaged. As you say sad really ~ the last one was the 'Blue Album' . The 'Blue Album' apparently spent 11 weeks in the charts last year and reached number 4?!?!?
Hey there terris . . . I related to your video assembly skills enough to be moved into sharing a "similar" project. ( if you approve it's posting )
Also an "iMovie effort" !
Of course, it begins with a sample-piece / mash-up, then came the video-work.
The Alfred E. "vote for me" was a fave inspired moment.
Did you consider using The Beatles "Free As a Bird" for a more "not pegged in the 60's" effect ?.. of course, that might not of "played" in the time "alloted".
@terris1958: And thanks for the thanks, and yet again for taking the time to comment on "Can't Buy Me" . . and for allowing it's presence here even . . wow, lots of load'sa thanks all around, huh ?
Even tho' a visit to "YourTube" saw your stitched eyeball cause me to shriek & recoil, ';' I still relate in many ways . . particularly your video-editing where you create moments of both humor and "coolness" impact . . a tricky balance that few possess !
@DmRofAtoZ LOL, the stitched eyeball thingy is one of my Dali-esque inspired photoshop creations! Hahaha, didn't mean to scare you with it! Really did LOVE your "Can't Buy Me For The Love Of Money" Vid! GREAT re-mix & production! Question: did you create this with imovie? & what other plug-ins or software did you use?
wow what a very very powerfull I do mean powerfull jam. the temps should have gotten the presidential award. i mean they talk the truth in this soul of a monster song. who ever reads this could understand what i mean. "ball of confusion". remember this awesome beatt. because we are in a ball of confusion of a world.reallity has set in for this rotten picking world.rock on temps rock on.
I like the song, but it feels like the video tried to endorse the American imperialistic values. That's kinda appalling in a way. Buuut, being an atheist hippie: I'm not entitled to being offended. For that you need to be rich, powerful and erroneous...
Yeah, no, I just noticed that when they sung about "the teacher", there was a picture of Jesus Christ... Not exactly what I'd call your ideal symbol of an autodidaktos, Leonardo Da Vinchi would have been far more accurate. Not to mention the image of US soldiers when they speak of obligations. If a leader forces you to die in a manmade nightmare such as the Iraq war: You need a new leader.
So, that being said, I'd like to add, with all due respect... "sir": Bite me, jackass.
Well, from an American perspective I'm actually one of the most conservative people ever. See, I decided to read the constitution instead of just misrepresenting it whilst patronizing the common man with phrases like "I am not a crook.", or "Damn the torpedoes." or the anti-constitutional "God bless America.", or what other insane nonsense that would give the illusion of competence. I don't expect you to understand, odds are you don't even know what your rights are.
Actually: You don't. Incest and also sodomy, not to mention gay relationships are outlawed in most/some parts of the states. So soliciting it could get you in a lot of trouble.
Thanks for making my point, though. All the best to you.
Also: I complained about the -video-, not the song. It felt like the images didn't fit very well with the message. I don't expect you to understand, that would require you to be able to read.
Incredible song, it still applies to the modern-day world we have today. And a perfect job on the video work Mr. Terris - the images, the sync, etc. This is an example of how music videos used to be when the imagery illustrated the lyrics. Keep up the great work Sir...
shut up with this tropic thunder crap this song is too damn good thats what we should be focusing on. Temptations one of the greatest groups of all time and this song clearly fits todays world. the comment below me clearly shows how dumb people are today.
This song is so awesome and the meaning is still relevant today except somehow the creator of this video thinks the politicians that want higher taxes are republicans. Enough with the brainwashing... enjoy the song and leave the liberal propaganda out!!!
Yep. It was on my transistor radio that summer in perfect mono along with Freda Payne"Band of Gold", Vanity Fair "Hitchin a ride", The Carpenters "Close to you" ,Alive and Kickin "Tighter and Tighter", Blues Image "Ride Captain Ride", Bread "make it with you", Chicago "25 or 6 to 4" The Five Stairsteps"O-o-h Child ", Three Dog Night "Mama Told Me Not Come" Eric Burdon and War "Spill that Wine Dig that Girl" and of course Mungo Jerry "In the Summertime "
@kjchicago1 Pure Summer of 1970. We actually loved summer back then. Everybody did not hide in their Air conditioned whatever counting the days until September as they do now. Sitting out sunbathing (did not know it was cancer causing then) listing to these songs on the transistor radio
Just for future reference, Google Image Search is not considered a legal source for photos because Google does not own them. It is simply the means for finding them on their respective websites. This video is full of copyright infringement from beginning to end. Great effort though, and definitely a great song! :)

Yeah, no, I just noticed that when they sung about "the teacher", there was a picture of Jesus Christ... Not exactly what I'd call your ideal symbol of an autodidaktos, Leonardo Da Vinchi would have been far more accurate. Not to mention the image of US soldiers when they speak of obligations. If a leader forces you to die in a manmade nightmare such as the Iraq war: You need a new leader.
So, that being said, I'd like to add, with all due respect... "sir": Bite me, jackass.

Well, from an American perspective I'm actually one of the most conservative people ever. See, I decided to read the constitution instead of just misrepresenting it whilst patronizing the common man with phrases like "I am not a crook.", or "Damn the torpedoes." or the anti-constitutional "God bless America.", or what other insane nonsense that would give the illusion of competence. I don't expect you to understand, odds are you don't even know what your rights are.

Actually: You don't. Incest and also sodomy, not to mention gay relationships are outlawed in most/some parts of the states. So soliciting it could get you in a lot of trouble.
Thanks for making my point, though. All the best to you.

Also: I complained about the -video-, not the song. It felt like the images didn't fit very well with the message. I don't expect you to understand, that would require you to be able to read.

Incredible song, it still applies to the modern-day world we have today. And a perfect job on the video work Mr. Terris - the images, the sync, etc. This is an example of how music videos used to be when the imagery illustrated the lyrics. Keep up the great work Sir...

This song is so awesome and the meaning is still relevant today except somehow the creator of this video thinks the politicians that want higher taxes are republicans. Enough with the brainwashing... enjoy the song and leave the liberal propaganda out!!!

@kjchicago1 Pure Summer of 1970. We actually loved summer back then. Everybody did not hide in their Air conditioned whatever counting the days until September as they do now. Sitting out sunbathing (did not know it was cancer causing then) listing to these songs on the transistor radio

Just for future reference, Google Image Search is not considered a legal source for photos because Google does not own them. It is simply the means for finding them on their respective websites. This video is full of copyright infringement from beginning to end. Great effort though, and definitely a great song! :)
