Jenny Owen Youngs "Fuck Was I"

[Joypiratesings]

Surely the title gives away the fact that there's swearing in the song, so... xD

[guiltyspark424]

FUCK YEAH, HOFFNER BASS BEATLES FTW

[ghuman91]

Censoring this song is like censoring porn

[kelongba]

good



[MrColinhunter13]

Aye but at the same time heyk didn't go through the exact same emotions as jenny, so she can't sing that songexactly to every emotion to when it was written. If you don't walk every foot someones shoes, you cannot tell how they feel. No song CSM be better than the origrnal.

It just dilutes it straight from the bottle.

Plus jenny is way better than heyk.

[TuberOnTheLoose]

I see Bess Rogers on bass!

[Antoniocool86]

Wow she sings this song with zero emotion. Really hurts the song. Check out HeyKelsey's cover of this song here on YouTube.

[retrochick90]

HeyK, so much better, more emotion. This version makes me wanna cut myself. -_-

[BriBri9339]

They didn't cencor it that is just the video when she gets pushed she is bout to say it but doesn't

[MrAdhdx10]

This song is fantastic. Hey Jenny, you keep on keeping on honey

[minka75]

Love this song!!!

[mrpumpkinn]

is it just me or does this remind anyone else of "like a tumor" by tim minchin?

[Johnnymay86]

Yeah... why did they censor it? That's stupid. That kills the purpose of the song, and though the video is funny if you didn't know ahead of time it was being censored... it still sort of bothers me that they cut it out. I hate censorship. Her voice is so beautiful and the way she says "fuck",.... it's almost sexy.

[sumdanielle]

yeah this song suits HeyK so much better. she doesnt sound so man-ish

[sumdanielle]

yeah this song suits HeyK so much better. she doesnt sound so man-ish

[FerrisWheelTerror]

haha the cover by heykelsey has more hits than this one, which is the original

[John23476489]

Censorship is gaaaaaaaaaay

[babydontblush]

perfect.

[KazielTheBurning]

this sucks, I like helkesley's cover better, she sings with no emotion. IMO

[bigdipper000]

very true

[superdildo4yourface]

i would pretty much marry you right now.

[minka75]

Beautiful!All the way!This song is soo about my relationship...!Jenny-Lovely!!­!

[McSnellies]

If they was bumping into me right when I was about to say fuck, it would've been more like FUCK!!!!!!!!!! Watch where you're going dick!

[mestupkid185]

which episode of weeds is this song in?

[cjsfsu09k]

@mestupkid185 season two episode one

[merve20xx]

stupid video, nice song

[creed455]

like the song, hate the video

[TheMaverx]

ok weezer.... lol

[Paretifube]

This sucks ! The "fuck" has benn muted !

[shadowxmaria]

the only thing i don`t like is how fuck was muted.

[andybarone1984]

hey ¨FUCK¨ is muted!

[intelligentfalling]

what the fuc were dey thinking when they censored this song??

[gorramdoll]

yeah it sucks, but the video did a good job dealing with the problem, they make it look like she can't sing the word because people always run into her when she's about to say it

[IsabellaEdwardLove]

@intelligentfalling totally agree

[AlisonLovesParamore]

shes so much better live than on audio

[Burns2max]

What the fuck was she thinking when she got dressed that day?

[darkvision1]

ok my first impression was slightly wrong on what i was going to say. she actually does have a good voice, but the accent annoys me to no end. that being said the lyrics make me want to hit myself in the head with a frying pan to hopefully erase the last 3 minutes of my life.

[kailann808]

i wish they didn't blurt out "fuck"..it makes the song so much powerful!

[LaJemo]

I know, I love that she says it just the way you would in regular convo. Wtf was I thinking... Amazing song.

[richardpaulgriffin]

i know, when she says "fuck", that's what makes the song so awesome! :)

[danivixen09]

God this is perfect...every lyric...If I only knew what the fuck I was thinking every second of everyday that I think of him

[casht7]

you spoke my mind :)

[Maria240592]

Anyone else find this really funny?? haha

[MsAvery13]

I love this song its amazingg. :F

[StaticEclectic]

guys, both versions are great. can't you just love both? why even bring up which one is better?

[eptadros]

Gregory and the Hawk backing vocals towards the end?

[smiiilehappy]

Yep, that's Meredith harmonizing.

[megan22amber14]

I actually do think shes a better singer then HeyKelsey, and prettier :) no offense to Heykelsey fans.

[XBlahXification]

HeyKelsy is wayyyyy better

[1b2r3m4c5]

its a good song.

[Sabriol1]

Kids, stop with the HeyK comments - we get it, you're promoting her. Please stop putting down Jenny Owen Youngs. It is her song that HeyK is covering, so, she can't be as bad as you say. :-P

[ozziekins]

no one would've even found this video if it weren't for heykelsey.

[hobbitpen]

i only found this because of abc's show weeds!

[Evergreen87]

I found it without Heykelsey and Weeds.. so that's not really true.

[ozziekins]

I didn't say every single person.

[Evergreen87]

Well 'no one' kind of implies that. Actually, it does more than that, it does say everyone. If you had said, most people, then it wouldn't, but you didn't.

[ozziekins]

Yeah, okay, smart ass. You're right. Feel better now?

[Evergreen87]

Why are you being combative? You went back on what you said, now you're calling me names? You're a winner pal.

[Sabriol1]

I just got notifications about all of these comments. Evergreen87, you win this debate and my heart. Ha.

[LiliumCruorem]

@Sabriol1 she's not bad, she just lacks emotion, I don't feel it when Jenny sings it.

[EmilieMcCollum]

I believe HeyKelsey does a better version of this.

[TropicalTopaz]

I believe you're correct :D

[vikkirosesixx]

hey! isn't the bass in this video the same as paul mccartney's from the '60s? except of course, it's right-handed

[Kristoph89]

thought see was was a dude? isn't she... i mean isn't he.

[treezzzzz]

First off, let me just say that both are great and talented singers. That being said, I do prefer HeyKelsey's version of this song.

[littlemissleighann]

i like HeyKelsey & Jenny Owens Youngs versions both .

they're both great singers .

[purplexcup]

HeyKelsey is just pure beast at this song!

[sunkistsidney]

heyKelsey is WAY better :]

[Millusz]

i agree

[supahkyra]

HeyKelsey is so much better at this song than this person.

[casiosama]

FUCKIN CENSURE. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

[freakspazcaffeine]

I HAVE THAT BASS @ 1:10. :)

it sucks.

[PistolDreams]

SO CUTE

[prettyoddftw]

Kelsey's is better xD

[manicx]

not so much. she uses wayyyyy too much vibrato in her singing.

[prettyoddftw]

I love the vibration in her voice, but yeah.

[Cameroncozart]

i dont think so

[RorkyPork]

Omfg, 0:44 is fucking Michael Jackson.

[tagtaylor]

nancy oh nancy

[animefreakinprocess]

he i heard this song with heykelsey and well they both can put quite a fight both sing it really good

[jiminysays]

that's a cello...

[Squidsterrr]

Umm is it just me or does she sumtimes she doesnt have the best voice..?

and at 00:43 - 00:45 ish she looks like a man?

great song

sorry if im being rude

just speaking my mind

[ItsJamille]

wait she does:|

[jtarrant617]

wtf man wow she relly does

[brittbabbitt]

I love this song! It's brings such reality to the surface!

[Necroerc]

That is one sexy guitar.

[dividesbyzero]

blah! they bleeped it out!

and in this context it wasn't

even overly profane!

[Painindaas]

U can hear the uncensored version at weeds radio season 2. Love the song btw.

[LilithWinters]

looooooooooooove. :) <3

[illuminol]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

sorry i just had to do that. FUCK censorship.

[candynotes]

this was the song from weeds right?

[MyCherryDarling]

Yeah. It played in season 2 episode 1 when she found out that Peter was a DEA agent. I loved it the second I heard it.

[anetfou]

you got that right!

[Honigkuchenbaer]

The girl in the back, is she playing a base? It's four stringed as you can see in 1:26 . It sounds like a guitar though.

Help anybody pretty please?

[Tensen01]

That's a Hofner brand bass just like Paul McCartney plays... And if you listen you can ehar the bass under the guitar.

[Honigkuchenbaer]

Thanks so much!

[kellywblue]

really it sounds weird with it censored

sooooo yeah dont censore anything next time ~_^

[iloveswimmer]

HAHAHAHA

exactly what Nealpaisley

[teenagezombie101]

ROFL ! :]]

[greenblueprints]

I can't help but thinking that this song wouldn't have made such a splash if people didn't find attractive indie girls swearing kind of hot.

...still a great musician though!

[retrorachel223]

i agree woth you but jenny owen youngs is not a good looking girl in my opinion. i think she is extremely ugly. but for the most part indie girls swearing is definitively a plus.

[prisonernumber5452]

what the FUCK is the point of this song if you censor it?!

[bezzatej]

there's so much in this song that i can personally relate to

[KevinCanales]

Wicked song

[roccomp]

Apart of her wonderful song, I love her way to integrate the funny US´ double moral with the "bad language". Yeah ladies & gentlemen, she says F-U-C-K. Uhhhhh.....

[saiful46]

If we werent such good friends I think that I'd hate you.

If we weren't such good friends I'd wish you were dead.

so sincerely bitter...loved it...

[raybaisden]

Jenny, I love this. I've sent it to another friend of mine who is also an outside of the box singer named Mysti Mayhem. A double bill of you and her could own the world. This is just way cool.

[ok1321]

she is so adorable.

i love her.

[WeMustBeStopped]

Okay, I am officially a huge fan now. Jenny Owen Youngs, our band wants to open up for you. Me, I just want to live in a cage in the room of your place where you write your songs.

[alienation185]

this is a nice calming song...

[renthead5256]

What the fuck was I thinking, signing up for that class????

I love how thought-provoking music like this is.

[4n3hpdramaactoryeah]

She is so talented!

[lykpleasegurl]

her music is so different and real, I love it! "if we werent good friends i wish you were dead"

[Lucki23]

I love this song....What the Fu$k was i thinking last week!

[dingelgirl]

Great music, she is so good! I am 46 & my neice induced me to this artist. I was a bit suss with the Name of the song! but HEY a think it's wonderful and realistic :)

[gothicmosha]

it proves no point at all

[moocowtoyou]

Honey I hope you will never know what this song is about. Its not even about parental abuse. I hope you never have to know what its like to get knocked down by the hands of the person youre in love with, to the point where you become this cynical about it. Loving this song is easy, but lets hope not everyone who does love it has heard those words in their own head in response to what was done to them.

[blueroadspirit]

Amen

We have all placed the love of others before love of ourselves. Whether it's friends, lovers or family.

Love does not ask you to compromise yourself....

[moocowtoyou]

i disagree that it isnt nice... I couldnt even think of any adjective of that sort near this song..its real, hurt and true.and actually musically it's great to listen to, and her voice has its own magic quality.

yeah...every word of this song is the definition of my ex relationship... it halfway got me through that mini-nightmare, and every time after bad times I'd listen carefully to those words. This might be presumptious of me but I think she intended them to be shared words... and they are

[nagaempress]

When I said nice I never thought I would have to explain what I ment... Nice as in Love song to someone great. Nice is what I use to describe a song that is about something plesant not about abuse in a relationship.

Now I would call this a Great song sharing about a very personal matter...maybe I am from a different time or something.

[moocowtoyou]

nah you're just a very lucky sort that joyfully never had to be around a man who can treat you that poorly while still proclaiming his "love" for you. Only advice i can give is avoid guys with low self esteem who feel someone wronged them. Because they look for excuses for why their life sucks and then excuses for why their hands have done the things they shouldnt.

[nagaempress]

I wish I was. I had the controlling, cheating, type. Doing better now and so is the pdsd.

[moocowtoyou]

I am so very sorry for that. You might enjoy the movie waitress... it might make you feel a little more strong. Dont let the terrible deeds of another human being destroy you though. You owe yourself inner strength, love, esteem and happiness. Unfortunately few of us get a fill of it from others. so stand strong and give yourself everything you need until a person who can only add to it comes along

[innocentrigger2]

man i so wish she would come to alaska and do a show hehehe i would defintly have buy her a drank

[FiNEiSONFiRE]

she is so cute , I wish I could look like her. :) this song is soo good! <33

[LaLoLaDiver]

jenny is the best :D

thanx for the video :p

[challisthegreat]

2:34 it looks like Jenny is holding back laughter. haha

and Bess Rogers...rawr

[monkeywork]

very nice...
