but were is the commercial with the kids pulling there parents out of bed. and the song(i dont remember all of it but this is the ending) moom and dad wake up already please! how can you be sleeping at 6 am at least? so meet me down stairs and make it fast 'case chrismas mornings here at last!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful cover. And I seriously doubt that Cat Power sat down and said, "yeah, I support De Beers and their blood diamond policy." Unless you check the source of every article of food, clothing, and household item you buy, chances are good you supported a sweat shop, exploited migrant farm workers, and put a mom and pop shop out of business.
People stop bitching. It's a commercial. Please absorb yourself with more meaningful problems then the "blood diamonds" of Africa. I'm sure you probably smoke weed...which causes many deaths annually due to the drug cartels in Mexico. Or have you ever walked by a homeless person and spared nothing. Quit acting holier then thou and shut the fuck up!!!
@NKW1nonly "More meaningful problems then the "blood diamonds" of Africa."??? WTF is wrong with you? What are you going to say next - let's deal with "more meaningful" problems than international sex slavery or female circumcision or wildlife extinction? WTF is "more meaningful," you douche? I don't smoke weed, but for your information NOBODY smokes weed from Mexico in the US anymore. It's all made here. How can you equate supporting an ILLEGAL cartel (DeBeers) with ignoring a panhandler.
@tofumar They broke the trust laws of many nations (I'm not sure about international law) including our own through a price-fixing monopoly. They also operate illegal mines in some countries. Aside from their illegal practices their presence on the market was considered a cartel to the point where executives were afraid to come to the U.S. and risk arrest.
more like, that lady rolls over and the necklace gets buried under the pillow and then they can't find it in the morning and it causes a big fight where the man punches the lady's tooth out and she finds the necklace under the pillow and thinks its from the tooth fairy.
@themeaningoflife38 The guy is thinking theres no way she can refuse me oral sex after i blew thousands on this shiny rock. So think of it as an expensive once a year blow job. If prostitution was legalized diamond stores would go out of business.
General Cordswainer just put out a cover of this song. It's like a mix between Cat Power and Mazzy Star. Very sexy & a bit smoother than the Cat Stevens version. Totally recommended for your first dance at your wedding if you're a fan of Indie/Folk/Acoustic Rock.
Im saying diamonds are not even Semi-precious , this is a fact .
Thru propoganda telling people diamonds are the must have item etc , most think there diamond is worth loads of cash and a precious item .
If you want to live in la la land that becomes your reality , but the truth is diamonds are nt even Semi-precious . The market is cleaverly controled to keep the price super high , and the masses ignorent .
@bustitwydeopen365 you can't. apparently the full version of this song does not exist. its cat power covering a cat stevens song called 'how can i tell you'. the original is great too though, i'm sure you can find that version just about anywhere
@ozzycriss De Beers no longer holds the market strategy that you are criticizing. They changed it a few years ago due to modernization in the face of a changing market. They now operate on a supply & demand strategy.
I just followed IndieMusicCritic82's advice on iTunes and looked up General Cordswainer. It's not exactly like the Cat Power version, but it's actually pretty sexy and you can listen to the full song. It's worth checking out anyway.
actually the person who sings the song in the commercial is chan marshall but if you want a really close version to it that is better than cat power then look up liz durrett - how can i tell you
I wish I could agree more than once. I recently got engaged and my fiance knew how strongly I feel about the diamond conflict in Africa, so he bought my ring from a company that puts ethics first; my diamond was mined in Canada with workers being paid right and with a rotating work shift to minimize their exposure to danger. It's a better ring and even LESS expensive than the chain stores. When will people learn?
RalphCMX i was about to agree with you but after the first sentence i was about to laugh. do you know where diamonds come from before they hit stores(besides diamond mines). some countries they buy it from dont know the real value of diamonds and corporations buy it from them for ten dollars a hand full. some people spend a three months salary on an engagement ring that cost some people their hands. most of them are children workers and if they cant work they are discarded.
I don't think diamonds are a symbol of love. Too many bad people wear diamonds in order to show off. And quite a lot of nice people decide not to wear diamonds (even although they could afford it) - simply to be modest. Fools are easy to impress with diamonds. Having a modest personality is more impressive, I think.
if u wanna surprise ya gurl.....THIS! iz how u surprise ur gurl!!..if i E-V-V-V-V-VER find tht mate this iz wht i would do!!...and who's singin this?! tht lady has da absolute most sexiest voice!!
Dude, if someone put something on my chest while I was sleeping, I'd wake up on the other side of the room, frantically flicking at myself with both hands & shrieking "ROACH! ROACH! EW!"
Love this commercial, if only for the Cat Power cover of an amazing Cat Stevens song. I understand the whole copyright gig and whatnot, but I'd so love to get a hold of the full song as sung by Chan Marshall. Thanks for posting this--just the 0:29 seconds of this song always makes me cry.
This commercial kept coming on the first night I stayed up all night with my boyfriend. Each time it'd come on we'd kiss and I'd laugh cuz he was such a goofball!!! I wish she recorded this song so I could geg it, that was a great memory i made with him! ):
hey, did anyone send you the full version? did you get it? it's been a while since you posted the vid ... I want the song too, cant find it anywhere... please contact me if you have it, thank you so much
Okay, I can understand the feist comparisons...the first time I heard this I wasn't positive of whether it was Cat Power or Feist...(Cat Power, fyi) but Regina Spektor? Really? Love that woman and this sounds NOTHING like hear. All 3 of them are fantastic though.
Being 30 and at times being regretful for not marrying, I could say I am comfortable. During the last 7-years, I cannot count the marriages I saw, and then later, hearing about a divorce.
Son't waste 15k on diamonds for a woman who'll leave you. Rather, spend it on investing in your own well being.
It's rather sad... but for the most part what you say is true.
I would like to think otherwise, and I do.
Call me ignorant I don't care, but I believe that marriage is the greatest investment out their. If you think otherwise I believe you live a sad life, but really who am I to say this. Later on in life I hope you find someone worth investing in. If not may your life be full of joy. You dont have to reply back I just want to tell you how I felt; Im sorry for wasting or taking up your time.
I really loved this song when i heard it in the commercial, but i like it with HER voice. It makes the song more nostalgic or smth.... :-( somehow it's not the same with Cat Stevens singing it, even though it's HIS song....
and btw, anyone else think it looks like he's about to stranggle her with the necklace? ^_^ hehe.... i know, no need to tell me
but basically, i hate it when we are kept from the good stuff :-s
Cat Power does the best cover songs, but never releases them. It's so frustrating. They also did one on David Bowie's "Space Oddity" and it's just amazing.
"God, you'd think they'd be educated enough to watch 'Blood Diamond' to get all the facts about the diamond industry, but nooooooooo. They're so idiot-like!"
your an idiot. Get all of the facts by watching the movie. wow. I can't even comprehend how stupid you are. Yes its a bad situation. but really? you just watched a movie, get over yourself.
Well instead of bashing debeers, why don't you just go and do something about the whole blood diamond situation. And blood diamond the movie is after all a movie. By saying watching blood diamond is getting the facts is not only ludicrous... its ignorant. I agree that the blood diamond situation is bad, but instead of bashing debeers, actually back up what you say. Furthermore, debeers is no worse than the people who buy their products.
All these idiots on youtube who like this commercial/song are such idiots!
God, you'd think they'd be educated enough to watch 'Blood Diamond' to get all the facts about the diamond industry, but nooooooooo. They're so idiot-like!
I bet you they don't believe in Global Warming either, blackberri!
Obviously movies and news can't lie because theres that law that prohibits them from lying!
dude chill its a flippen comercial and by watching "blood diamond" which byw is a good movie doesnt make you a flippen expert on the matter "think of the children" what may i ask, have YOU done lately to help "the children"? grow up. do something usefull and quit arguing w/ people you dont even know! seriously man... its pretty lame. and p.s. the song is actually pretty good. i fail to see why u gotta dis it...
i am 24 and have never once in my life woke up with a boner. when i was in school i used to think about the girls in my school in the morning and roll up my blanket and just hump the shit out of it. every god damn morning mother fucker.
YES, people who can't afford diamonds for their wives love their wives less.
SANDAILI = Always asking the hard questions nobody else has the guts or balls to ask. By "guts" I mean "lack of brains." And by "balls" I mean "lack of balls."
i LOVE this commercial. i don't get y ppl don't like it. it's just a sweet commercial. if u don't like it than y do u watch it? it makes no sense what so ever!!
elbriga83: Abusing the typical youtube-activitard stereoptype with whiney movie-inspired DiCaprio hard-on bullshit and persuading women to become mullet-lesbians since 1983.
Seriously.
You're 25.
You can still vote Obama, but grow out of that college tool phase already.
Also, such statement could've easily been founded on research on African history and on the history and business model of DeBeers. But your feeble mind probably couldn't comprehend that, so why bother? Your idiocy deserves nothing but a lowest common denominator response.
You online philanthropist, you. You're so cool with your fancy research that never happened! ;-D
I wish us Los Angeles rednecks could get some of that fancy edumacating... in that... what'd you call it? A Co Lodge?
So, if my idiocy deserves nothing but the "lowest common denominator"(lol) response, then why did you reply TWICE to me here, and TWICE more on my channel's comments?
It burns more when it's true, doesn't it? lol thanks for EVERYTHING
Yeah, well... try to marry one of those "bitches" without a "shiny rock". See how far you get. They want the shiny rocks, or we wouldn't be buying them, pal.
I just want to know why won't Cat Power record this song and release it...i read somewhere that she's been asked but refused...she sings it soooo well!!!!!
wow people are taking this commercial way to seriously, i just like the song i didnt pick up on the whole guys are poor communicators thing, who knows maybe he talked to her after she woke up
Wasnt youtube created to collect consumer information from the american public, to sell
to corporations to create commercials and plan capitalist production.
Its now time for the people to reprogramme youtube by only expressing approval of needed commodities and disaproval of unneeded luxury products , they collect market research data from posted youtube clips but they cant control your choices by force.
The lame idiot "can't think of the right words to say" (according to the song) so he has to go buy her a diamond.
What a pathetic depiction of the man as a poor communicator and the woman as desiring material things rather than true communication with her husband.
People who can't refute a comment logically using shaming language as you do. "Loser", "idiot" are the name calling responses of someone who has nothing to say.
We should be teaching women that love is not about getting material things from a man.
Commercials are there to entertain and inform about a specific product/service, not teach you social relations. If your parents and/or school instructors failed to educate you on how to express yourself or interpret situations, you're already lost and a simple commercial won't change that.

yes it does, but it is decidedly Cat Power. It has been confirmed by both DeBeers and her record label.

And I guess the people who can't afford diamonds for their wives love their wives less? Let's get lives and stop being so materialistic...

blackplastic420 3 years ago
Such a pity. I keep hoping her next album will have a full version of this song, yet..
Someone, please please please help me find a version even remotely like this. The original Cat Stevens just doesn't cut it for me.

the version most resembling this and that is often MISlabeled as Cat Power is Liz Durrett's version. Download "Liz Durrett - How Can I Tell You"

The thing about Cat Power is she's a dumb cunt that sings stupid songs for flaky art school bitches and fat whores gaining weight in their dorm rooms

DeBeers: Abusing African labor and persuading clueless men to think of women as bitches to be shut up with shiny rocks since 1880.

Also, such statement could've easily been founded on research on African history and on the history and business model of DeBeers. But your feeble mind probably couldn't comprehend that, so why bother? Your idiocy deserves nothing but a lowest common denominator response.

You online philanthropist, you. You're so cool with your fancy research that never happened! ;-D
I wish us Los Angeles rednecks could get some of that fancy edumacating... in that... what'd you call it? A Co Lodge?
So, if my idiocy deserves nothing but the "lowest common denominator"(lol) response, then why did you reply TWICE to me here, and TWICE more on my channel's comments?
It burns more when it's true, doesn't it? lol thanks for EVERYTHING

Yeah, well... try to marry one of those "bitches" without a "shiny rock". See how far you get. They want the shiny rocks, or we wouldn't be buying them, pal.

Wasnt youtube created to collect consumer information from the american public, to sell
to corporations to create commercials and plan capitalist production.
Its now time for the people to reprogramme youtube by only expressing approval of needed commodities and disaproval of unneeded luxury products , they collect market research data from posted youtube clips but they cant control your choices by force.

This is not the full commercial. After he closes the window and is going to go downstairs, he checks on the kids, then goes to get the necklace.
nycdweller 3 years ago
This commercial is disgusting.
The lame idiot "can't think of the right words to say" (according to the song) so he has to go buy her a diamond.
What a pathetic depiction of the man as a poor communicator and the woman as desiring material things rather than true communication with her husband.

People who can't refute a comment logically using shaming language as you do. "Loser", "idiot" are the name calling responses of someone who has nothing to say.
We should be teaching women that love is not about getting material things from a man.

Commercials are there to entertain and inform about a specific product/service, not teach you social relations. If your parents and/or school instructors failed to educate you on how to express yourself or interpret situations, you're already lost and a simple commercial won't change that.
You're reading too much into this advertisement.
