Camera Obscura - The Sweetest Thing

[dcterra]

I just watched this again and spotted Mick Fleetwood and Lemmy, so that's in addition to Simon&Garfunkel, Kate Bush, David Bowie and Tom Baker. Who else can you spot!

[tinquerbutt]

the ode to Fleetwood Mac is adorable!

[jerrardcu1]

i think i'm in love with this woman

[Luizzito11]

Cute... c:

[sroh98]

she is really beautiful mustache and all. why is she walking with her head on the back of that other girl?

[Bluethundermoon]

When you're lucid...you lose it.

[99xicaros]

I like the band and their music very good and her voice is beautiful

[ShamuLesbo]

if someone could find or tab out the bass, i would be...forever grateful. i mean, why wouldnt you? listen to it, its beautiful

[missrr00]

great song!

[nisreenomarmobayed]

this is honestly such an annoying video.

[solidiquis1]

This is the anti....Anticosmic Overload.

[FallibleSun9]

The cover from Fleetwood Mac Rumors...damn I'm slow. lol

[ShamuLesbo]

@FallibleSun9 elaborate

[FallibleSun9]

@ShamuLesbo At 1:15 they're posing like the cover to Fleetwood Mac "Rumors".

[johnrizal]

@ Fortificatio : If you see her photo in Bandung city, West Java, Indonesia, South East Asia, March 20th, 2010, she smile a lot ^_^

[brngrgld]

I would trade my mother to be on that party! ):

[rodriogq]

Stupid people who think Traceyanne doesn't smile, stop being superficial and enter 'Camera Obscura Interview' on Youtube search bar. Oh, wait! Life might not be so generous and you might find a video in which she is also not smiling. But there are hundreds of the smiley ones out there, underachievers please try harder!

[Fortificatio]

@rodriogq What is so great about smiling anyway.

[rodriogq]

@Fortificatio well I always like when people smile at me, sometimes this means nothing but politeness. however lets be rational, its not a big deal.

[jollen565]

the 4th doctor 01:39 and the TARDIS! 01:47 :O

[THEArachnera]

@alepunk Actually, that individual is dressed as the fourth incarnation of the eponymous character of another British institution: 1970s Doctor Who. Identifiable by the iconic scarf. This is further supported by the drawing of a blue phone box, labeled "my house"

[ale5punk]

1:40 Old Harry Potter

[tristan344]

Dark haired woman in red with a headband: WHO???

[ellpaxto]

Ben Nordberg brought me here, skateboarding introduced me to so much good music.

[rosskstar]

[dcterra]

Ok, after reading the "Simon & Garfunkel" comment below, I now get it too. Once you see that, you can see David Bowie, Kate Bush, the 4th Doctor Who and others...

[FWFWFWF]

SInger reminds me of Kirsty McColl

[budka1207]

[THEArachnera]

I think I am vindicated at 1:39.

[THEArachnera]

[guidedbythewind]

Oh they're dressed as Simon and Garfunkel.

[Mushman34]

David Bowie is seriously fit.

[glitzy101]

[iamSOlate]

[teflonboy12321]

Why does she remind me of Patty for The Peanuts?

[Piccolo2Green]

[boulderarchitect]

@Piccolo2Green You, beautiful.

[itzska]

[hktweepopper]

20 justin bieber fan

[gavrilo2007]

@hktweepopper Yeah, 'cause Justin Bieber's the greatest. This skank's hair is not even half as perfect as Justin's! Dumb ass!

[PJCampbell14]

Hi, my name is Gary Wilson from Co-operative Radio and I approve of this song.

[shuffles57]

Why is she dressed like an Italian woman?

[banhotsu]

@shuffles57 french*

[sochorko]

@shuffles57 Why not?

[supitsez]

@shuffles57 Why are you not dressed like an italian women?

[cardinalfire999]

@shuffles57 She is dressed as Paul Simon. There are references to other musicians in this video if you can spot them !

[dinodinoRAWR]

@3:58 WAS THAT THE FOURTH DOCTOR!

[1stdevilsangel]

@dinodinoRAWR YES!!! WHO ELSE WOULD WEAR SUCH A SCARF!?!!

[tracer1703]

the pain was too much of an incentive...

[marinamartian]

i would trade my mother ..

[coffinkeys]

David Bowie FTW.

[DianaDagny]

I love them! Especially her. She reminds me of my sister and her friends, they all wear mustaches to school lol. It takes balls to do that sort of silly but wonderful thing, I think lol.

[belltocher]

I went and got there album let's get out of this contry . It's great . When I get working again I'll the rest of there cd's

[finnboy67]

I love how she is dressed up as Paul Simon!

[Rainboy75]

@finnboy67 Hahaha!! :-)

[fuzzygremlin88]

Good to have an old era sound in a new era age!

[Fortificatio]

i think tracy ann traded in the ability to smile for the ability to write beautiful songs.

[StonefieldJim4]

Although, ironically, this is the one video in which she does smile@Fortificatio

[Fortificatio]

@StonefieldJim4 Thats good to know, I should take back my glib off hand comment. I would love to see them live,.

[thebrokenbirdie]

@Fortificatio if you see her live she smiles all the time!

[TheGoodNonconformist]

@Fortificatio pause at 4:14. Most beautiful low quality pixilated smile I've ever seen.

[IHangDJs]

@Fortificatio 2:15 ?!

[ZZJoCa]

Great video and song.I love this group.

[TheFate23]

indie love <33333333333333

[raininginowlcity]

[stableyes]

[monalisasmilesforyou]

I adore this band!! Lovely songs and videos!!!

[smurfsnowboarder]

Awesome sauce.

[mrspock128]

Great song. I love the Simon and Garfunkel costumes too, lol.

[V1z1on]

@mrspock128 that's what they're wearing, I thought it was a Crosby thing, but that makes total sense

[itchin4scratches]

@mrspock128 i was diggin the rumors refernce lol this vids awsome

[killingpriscilla]

i love the doctor who references

[asteroid684]

What a great video...

[pecheee]

after watching this video i want to use a moustache everyday.

[KB4QAA]

Wow after hearing just three songs, this band has really grabbed me! Overall the sound strikes me as being similar to the Phil Spector "Wall of Sound". Musically it makes me think of The Association and other groups with soft sounds from around 1966 and 67. Keep up gang!

[fonfa]

I have a moustache just like hers. I wonder if sparks would come out if we kissed...

[Cherrygrip]

@fonfa lets find out...

[nmobayed]

i hate this video so freaking much

[CJsmetonymy39]

this is the most hipster thing i have seen in a while. which is why i like it:)

[forgotmyun]

1:48 my house= TARDIS!

[peeps6901]

is she gay?

[Beoy999]

wow a woman that looks good with a moustach!! this is really cool been playing it over and over brilliant band

[RoyalDeathSuzen]

i wish she was my friend

[732CharlesMartel]

The pretty and earnest singing voice of Tracyanne Campbell has me swooning to its sweet sincerity and waves of longing, melancholy, and maudlin.

[kennyreddy59]

one of the few songs i treasure to hear from piped in music from muzak @ my lowes home improvement store

[damienrecords]

I luv this song and these are great, great talented singers. I cannot get it out of my head! SO COOL. I shared it with everyone I know!

[BOBBYEVANSCAKES]

Moustache or no moustache....that girl is gorgeous and so is the music !

[taylorswiftfan1388]

How

[SnazzyLion]

Lol, Doctor Who references. I love you, CO. <3

[jordanprincessai]

Lionheart XD

[bbvn1]

[kennyreddy59]

TRACYANNE I WORSHIP YOUR VOICE

[djhpdell]

[LynnSadi]

1:40 is so great.

[LondonBabyLondon]

Great song!

[Bix12]

Damn! Tracyanne has a Beautiful Gorgeous Voice! When she starts singing, I get huge chill bumps & my throat catches.....oh wow.

[Dexxxtroyer]

It's nice to discover MV's like this.

[Koshka42]

love Gav as Tom Baker

[0795oreilly]

She actually looks better here than she does in most of her videos. She even smiles at one point.

[bugsisonit]

Beautiful

[MYJESUSROCKS]

proof canada produces great song writers <. aka blue rodeo and cowboy junkies

[LynnSadi]

@MYJESUSROCKS They're Scottish.

[cameratranslucida]

I love Tracyanne even with a mustache! jaja... Those eyes ...

[MrSphibe]

OK, I just found out about this band,read the wikipedia profile,sounds like there still together,they might fill the void left by stereolab,so please somebody send a message when this band tour the states,especially seattle or portland. k?

[MrSphibe]

Simon & Garfunkel

[scarlotty123]

I've never been so confused, dazed, made to smile, or charmed by a folksy music video.

[Bix12]

Groucho and Harpo.

[oOsaraOo16]

i love this song, and the video! <3*

[tonantzin86]

Did anyone notice that the girl from French Navy appears in this video too...

right around 2:27.... is it her?

[Noumpere]

I know that this is a crime, but i dont know what else to do. <3

[kenmegu01]

iiyone kore

[silverscreenname]

I would put this video right up there with the Safety Dance video.

[dimtian]

I really really love this song. You can feel the happy and sad melody at the same time.

Definitely my favorite song of the album,,

[Prangie]

I love this song.. It makes me smile thinking of someone =) <3 <3

[ilovemutemath]

this song is so sweet.

[NeedlesTheSpace]

Are there any other references besides simon & garfunkel and fleetwood mac in this video?

[idchilton]

@NeedlesTheSpace Kate Bush, Lemmy from Motorhead & Dr Who (Tom Baker incarnation)

[laurap116]

@NeedlesTheSpace bowie.

[tootuff2cook]

@NeedlesTheSpace

The lion is Kate Bush. 

[zig45]

I love the David Bowie girl...

[rudajesus]

[grahamjohn678]

She looks like Charlotte Church in this video.

[thetublerone]

@grahamjohn678 I agree!

[unohu88]

Brillant!

[johnypunk18]

[abnerlico]

[hachirusmileing]

haha! are they trying to do the fleetwood mac pose?

[billmilliganhisself]

@hachirusmileing Simon & Garfunkel, actually.

[hachirusmileing]

@billmilliganhisself

Oh the point at 1:07 is the cover (sorry to not be more specifc)

[RANAE30]

@hachirusmileing Yeah, it looks like the cover of rumors. I love that album.

[sharpeinthelab]

0.08 is that the cove to kate bush's 2nd album lionhaert or is that just me?

[Mhaza]

nic e song and video here thanks

[dillythecat]

Anyone who was a happy kid in the 60's will probably be haunted by the melody, chords and those overriding strings during the chorus. A time machine that makes it possible for me to see my mother again.

[10191927]

These guys remind me a lot of 10,000 Maniacs. Except this group has a total 60's vibe going.

[xxembrassemoixx]

this music is beauty.

[calliecalliejj]

Simon & Garfunkel

[LittleCof]

Camera Obscura é a melhor banda do mundo!!

[esayjimmy19]

reminds me of my stache long ago, not as hairy though...

[monawachsler]

worship the moustache!

[MusicLuverLaura]

crazy about this song..im always hummn it.

[Beoy999]

how havnt i heard of these befor ei m a new fan especially of this song brilliant!

[jaredong]

omg i am in love with this song 

[dataslul]

I just now got that they're supposed to be Simon and Garfunkle. I thought that Tracyanne was supposed to be Gallagher and Carey was supposed to be a Harpo Marx.

[freakyfreakify]

tracy ann's so adorable!

[Poopingbotham]

@freakyfreakify But not with a moustache!

[skathari2]

hahahah this is so funny!!! traycyanne looks like dave crosby!

[erictheviking871]

i left my moustache in wigan in 1985 ; it was a revelation to a young man who was unbelievably happy ; which is what this song makes me so there you go .

[nachobor]

seen them live in Vegas. Ms. Campbell has a real nice 'stache....or like we say in Cali'... a nice San Fernando.... I suggest a straight razor shave for that young dutch-boy boy hair cut freak.

[dtangerine]

i reeeeally love thissssss...soooooo much!!
