Save the Rich- Garfunkel and Oates with Weird Al Yankovic

[thepriusisgay]

if wierd al is going to perform at next years superbowl, they should go too.

[Paulrebul]

Miss Oates has some proboscis.

[cheapRoc]

The problem.

[KillHollywood1]

You could tell Riki was so excited to be playing with Weird Al. It was so cute. She probably grew up in the 80's listening to him as a kid, just like me.

[MrSkeggz]

I remember seeing Kate in a Kristen bell movie, but is she Garfunkel or Oates?

[ferretgirl04]

@MrSkeggz Kate is Oates

[ZaaHiiRraaAa]

cheese in a cup lol

[voldemortrules101]

This makes me happy and idk why XD

[flyprojector]

I want to do very naughty things to Riki! O_0

[Kevalot22]

We should save the rich cuz they worked their ass off to get there!

[keatonbatmobile]

@Kevalot22 Aww, how cute-you think you know how the world works.

[Muffin4455]

thumbs up if you are on youtube and reading this

[Recon985]

just lost respect for everyone in this video

[alien123pred]

@Recon985 Why? Because they made a song with sarcasm that went over your head?

[Recon985]

@alien123pred what? no. quite the opposite, they lost my respect for that very reason.

just a group of people singing about political bullshit and making themselves look bad.

and in support of OWS? come on...now that's just terrible taste.

[alien123pred]

@Recon985 Good point. I, for one, enjoy political humor but if you don't that's fine by me. I just hoped you were not those people that did not get the joke/sarcasm and to my content, you were not.

[superfloob]

@oiv4 i know she was the one obsessed with sheldon i think it was something like nowitsky

[DrRobDammet]

Whenever igno a-hole d-bags say "socialist", sneeze "Nazi."

[fonstw]

That weirdo is a pretty good addition, the voice and instrument gives a twist, nice.

[RangerHooah309]

Just gonna guess, you're a Weird Al fan and this was your first time meeting him? Love the song and have mad respect for all three of you. haha

[cazspazrazmataz]

That's so funny, I was writing a satirical essay for class just like this! I even talked about how the 1% were a minority being oppressed by being confined to only seven homes, haha.

[oiv4]

wasn't the blonde one in a Big Bang Theory Episode?

[fonstw]

@oiv4 Yup, and the one with black hair was once in Scrubbs as Ted's girlfriend, and they've hosted =3 short while ago...

All sacrafices for fame right?

[TheRandyalex]

i was sure i knew you, you're nowitski from TBBT, thanks @oiv4 for reminding me

[imaferretmaster]

@kittehlovr2468 Are you asking someone why they care that someone is misrepresenting facts? Because that's a pretty stupid question.

[Nagammar]

I don't get why everyone hates them on =3 although they sing together with Weird Al Yankovic. If you sing with Weird Al Yankovic you have to be great and in my opinion they are even better than great.

[DekonR]

@Nagammar That's because 99% of RWJ's audience are immature tasteless idiots.  I'm a 1%er that likes Garfunkel and Oats AND subs to RWJ, but I only sub to RWJ because I'm a viral video addict. I fast forward through his commentary.

[kittehlovr2468]

@Canadiangirl85

Why do u care?

[TrekGame]

Куку хихихихи

[MrSki1981]

Hmmm... Why don't these people move then. I'm so sick of hearing about the 99%.

[ALittleTooAwesome]

@SermonMetal Dude... I don't have a generator either... we are renting a house, my dad was unemployed for over a year too... and the IRS stole all the money from our account. I didn't say anything about the 99% just that the 1% isn't all complete rich... And btw you pay taxes based on your income... a percentage is taken...

[canadiangirl85]

@ALittleTooAwesome Where did you get that $100k figure from? From the sources I looked at, the top 1% made $340k or more per year, with an average of $960k. (find Distribution of wealth on Wikipedia)

[SermonMetal]

@ALittleTooAwesome its called a joke. And try being in the 99% where your dad is unemployed! Yeah, how about that? And to top it off we haven't even had power for 5 days cause the snow here snapped our power lines and we can't afford a generator. You think you have it soooo rough. How about you switch with me you smug fucker.

[whynottalklikeapirat]

a socialist commie ... unlike all the other run of the mill non-socialist commies

[Sanguinis666]

@whynottalklikeapirat unlike the socialists who aren't commies

[DBJ1999]

No fucking way! Fuck yah my favorite tv character( shelly from raising hope) and weird al?!?! I saw his consort fuck yah!

[ALittleTooAwesome]

I find this so stupid... My family is part of the 1%, but my dad recently lost his job and we are living in a townhouse... we 1%ers aren't living it up people... about 5% of that 1% are.

[EricaH121]

@ALittleTooAwesome Hate to tell you, but if your family income was cut that much, you *were* part of the 1%.

[fellsword716]

@ALittleTooAwesome How retarded are you? To be a part of the 1% your dad must have had an annual income in the millions of dollars. So either your dad wasn't in the 1% or he was really financially irresponsible with his wealth to end up in a townhouse.

[ActuallyLiam]

@ALittleTooAwesome Do you have hundreds of millions of dollars? If not then you're not one of the 1%. Welcome to the 99%

[bhandersen2]

hahaha!

[avelcrod]

Welcome to the second American revolution.

If you recall the first time the odds were against us then. Yet WE prevailed.

Hide in a cave if you must.

Don't forget We are out there. And Hell is where you are headed.

[gainnit]

Why the hell is everyone saying =3

[buildabridge87]

@gainnit Garfunkel and Oats hosted an episode of =3 (another youtube channel) so a lot of people who watch =3 saw them on that and came over to watch their stuff (myself included :))

[lOlDlOl1234]

im rich so fuck you bitches

[noob7helperataq]

Although i didn't like you on =3 you are a lot better here

[BassaliskVFX]

this Blondie was in big bang theory once. S02E06 XD

[clemenza1234]

weird al and kat micucci?!?!?! XD

[doctorhaw]

im very move when I listen to this song,thank you so much, I always sad waking up in my Futon bed, in my penthouse loft, always dip my self in a hot tub, and do exercise with Kobe Bryant every morning. Thank you G and O finallly someone who care about us!!!

[gainnit]

This is awesome!!!

[jesus6ms]

141 ppl are rich and dont need help

[BOBBYROCKSYOURWORLD]

Its funny because they don't know what there talking about haha!

[keatonbatmobile]

@BOBBYROCKSYOURWORLD It's funny because your comment suggests you have some understanding of the issue, yet you don't even know the difference between "there" and "they're".

[iObsidia]

me no like it >:o

[TotalyBorderlands]

Even though I love weird al, he just got a little less cool.

[miles2057]

Wow, you guys are fucking AWESOME!!!

RWJ sent me here.

A thumbs up and new subscription from me.

[deadbirdoetb]

Loo great songs your girls and weird al rock!

[MsGothicfish]

YOU ARE FROM RAISING HOPE!!!!

[MrParadoxify]

@MsGothicfish she was on scrubs first. but yes she micucci is on raising hope.

[nbzeppelin]

@MsGothicfish people actually watch that show?

[1dariansdad]

Death to the haters! Loved you on =3

[1dariansdad]

I love you Kate! Sorry, Riki :-)

[imaferretmaster]

It's a very fine line, welfare with no limits is problematic, however letting only 1% of the country control a majority of the money is also very bad. I mean their are millionaires and billionaires is war torn parts of Africa, that doesn't mean we should Struve to be like Nigeria. Things are going to have to change all around for our economy to get out of the shitter.

[imaferretmaster]

@TheMuranzo you're confusing what they mean by "rich". Someone who is well off, 150,000-300,000 a year pays a shitload in taxes, however someone who makes millions or more pays absurdly low amounts of taxes. And yes while your first point is correct, companies only recieved tax breaks if they were creating jobs, which at the moment, they are not.

[thehackevollester]

you cant sing !and together its a realy annoying sound

[TheMuranzo]

If you tax the rich, they can't pay employees. If they can't pay employees, the people don't have money. If people don't have money, they don't buy things. If people don't buy things, companies fire workers. If companies fire workers, then those people don't have money. Taxing the hell out of the rich destroys the economy. People try it again and again, and always get the same results. It never works. Ever. And to say the rich don't pay their fair share already is also complete bogus.

[Fluffy4020]

@TheMuranzo What I don't get is why we, as Americans, love small businesses so much and hate large corporations. Isn't the goal of the company to make money? All small businesses strive to become large businesses. If you look at them ignoring their size, the large corporation is just a really successful business.

[SkullyHippie]

You lucky hobos!!!

[noga55]

Oh, cool. I'm the 43,000th viewer. Neat.

[jetson215]

Man, weird al is bad ass. He makes that accordion his bitch.

[Vyncentt]

Im not saying this cause of the rwj but this is horrible music ...

[RaReIrishman]

The rich do have higher taxes than the poor, the problem with the current system is that people are living off welfare. They don't go out and get jobs because the money they receive from the government is enough to get by without working. Raise taxes and people will stop spending and than businesses and will be hurt.

[TheAngryTroller]

WHAT THE HELL IS A RAYWILLIAMJOHNSON?

[KingInternet10]

@thehackevollester and yo mama cant scream my name correctly

[thehackevollester]

you cant sing

[Tzesty8]

@thehackevollester you can't videos of you doing something with talent, no disrespect intended.

[madhatyr]

All you angry little d-bags are just pissy cause you have no clue what this songs about.... Get a clue.... Trolls

[EMPIREOFTHEGODS]

OMG you're amazing! I love your songs :)

[BackwardsGamer]

Da Fawk !? Stay off =3 Or i shall set the Chuckmister on you.

[Thatguy777989]

Didnt like raywilliamjohnson video so i came to hate...

[TheHopefullMusician]

[Ougk]

@ShadowLeeSmith make anything at ALL american fatso faggot worthless piece of cum your mother must suicide for having you

[4evrJONASlvr]

I loved you guys on =3 !!!!

[TheMainstreamHipster]

wow you are just fucking awful!!

[ninjaxsam]

@TheMainstreamHipster You are one of those guys that saw the RWJ video, then came her to hate without listening arent you? Thought so.

[TheMainstreamHipster]

you 2 are so repulsive .. idk what it is .. your faces your voices the way you speak .. i dont know! you try to hard to be funny.. also , strumming the same 3 basic open chords? really? please

[ripmowt]

@TheMainstreamHipster did u actually listen to the words? the message is whats important. look deeper not superficial

[SpamBanjo]

Ignore the haters. It was nice to see something different on =3. RWJ is an annoying midget anyway

[chrisswed]

Please never ever come back at =3... was Ray drunk or what to invite you???

[amanduh111112]

STOP TALKING ABOUT =3 that's not what they do. my god they were stand ins. again, this is funny stop judging from one thing they did. i'm sure if you haters were judged on the one bad thing you did in your life you'd be seen as pretty big fuck ups =D have a good day! anyways, this was hilarious, great work!

[WOGI5M]

you did a horrible job of =3 but your songs are actually alright. maybe you would have done better if you did =3 in a musical way??? but nice song! :)

[betafa1988]

you bitches runed =3.......fuck you

[blizzleman]

@betafa1988 and u runed that word

[K0zMiHD]

NEVER HOST =3 AGAIN

[Ougk]

you suck delete your youtube account and go be junkies

[MrKobraful]

@Ougk RWJ fanboy.

[Ougk]

@MrKobraful shut up woman

[frylockprime1]

My 2 favorite things in the world pretty girls weird al!!!!!!

[jkazos]

Now this is epic. :D

[TrippyDemons]

Yaay weird al c:

[bluefrog85]

Weird Al! Great song, great message. Totally agree. Anyone who doesn't agree with the message obviously is a rich person their talking about...

[metaljacket1983123]

Weird Al kinda ruined this song. Still, a good song and done well!

[Yesyourfaceshari]

You guys are great! I love Weird Al, too.

[fredwasnothere]

FUCK OFF

[jesustheangryatheist]

@00443593 Lincoln was the racist one? And it wasn't cheap labour it was the fucking slave trade you dipshit

[Laxbroheim]

@jesustheangryatheist The civil war was about taxes being imposed on the southern states by the northern ones. By the time of the civil war, slavery was already being phased out.Note, Robert E Lee and JEB Stuart were both abolitionists and Ulysses S Grant owned slaves. Explain that one

[magmat0585]

@Laxbroheim um, about your point, being anti-slave and being an abolitionist at the time were not the same time... most people were against slavery at that time, the problem was what to do with the slaves. Abolitionists were wild-eyed fanatics like PETA today... they wanted to free all the slaves immediately, with no thought of the consequences of dumping several million people without work, food, clothes, ect. into society. Many were scared they would take revenge on their former owners

[Saaaaaywaaaaat]

I like it better with just the two of you.

[00443593]

Yeah great song ....heres a thought...... compared to the rest of the world america is the top one percent...that is if you make over 31k a year....think for yourself people....Ill pay taxes while you make dont thats fair right....no I should pay more...while you pay none? your clueless truly..

[slavchevpeter]

Is that Weird Al? Great song! :)

[bloodlust1982]

That was sweet

[ErinSpirit]

Aaaaaaaaaawesoooome!!

[spockadee]

BRAVO x 3!!!

[BobRoss233]

Hooray for satires! Now try doing Johnathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal"

And Thumbs up for Weird Al or Johnathan Swift!

[BuckyFuller44]

In a speech to a Joint Session of Congress 150 years ago, Abraham Lincoln said, "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."

[00443593]

@BuckyFuller44 Yeah that is s]the perfect answer from a racist president who was at war with the south over cheap labor ...your comment makes no sense here at all

[Sanguinis666]

@BuckyFuller44 So basically, Congress 150 years later, doesn't care about one of our best and most influential presidents opinion. :/

[BuckyFuller44]

@Sanguinis666 Yes and the opinion of another Mount Rushmore Republican President, Teddy Roosevelt. Read TR's "New Nationalism" speech from August 31, 1910. TR once said he was trying to drag the Republican Party into the 20th Century. Now, more than a 100 years later, the GOP still hasn't made it.

[MusicMan3423]

Hands off my Riki : )

[bobbz64]

So awesome, so happy you guys got to do a gig with Wierd Al, straight outta lynwood style.

[feitocomfruta]

I still maintain that you girls need to get more "celebrity singers" and make this song a real "charity single".

I can imagine Huey Lewis doing this song easily.

[lotsohp]

Thank you for a level headed response by the way. Never know what you're going to get on a public forum.

[lotsohp]

@cafeeine The job wouldn't exist for me to do the work I do if he didn't take the substantial risk he took to start the business and grow it to what it is today.

Would be nice for you to expand on how they are untouchable, how they got to be that way and what you think can be done to fix it. Is this you speaking personally? Or does this reflect what the occupy movement feels?

[ProNorden]

Excellent. Need to see more of these folks.

[LadyAliara]

love it!

[lotsohp]

I love these girls, they are very creative and play well together. But I find this song pretty hypocritical seeing as how I'm pretty sure both of them have had parts on shows that are on major networks. I really don't agree with the whole hate the rich sentiment. The person who owns the company I work for (who is very rich) employs over 300 people. I owe the roof over my head, the car in my garage, the food in the pantry and everything else I have to him.

[Cafeeine]

@lotsohp Unless your employer is unusually generous with his bonuses, I suspect you owe your belongings to your own work.

You're misreading the general sentiment. It's not a generic 'hate the rich' (although that does exist), its a realization that at a level of wealth, individuals can game the system and become untouchable, and the consequences are apparent.

[SashaBlairDog]

You Go, Girls! I love these women! I always liked Weird Al too. As for have nots hating those who have, it'd be pretty hard to match the omnipresent Obama hatred preached by Limbaugh, Fox News, and all the Murdoch rags. As for victimhood, the right is very good at whining about class warfare while doing a most excellent job of waging said war.

[nesterhaus]

Why do some have nots hate those who have? At least on the internet everyone has a voice no matter the amount of grey matter they possess. Victimhood serves no one:0)

[rasnac]

I grew up in the 80s, so watching Weird Al without his moustache and glasses is unexceptable to me...Other than that it was a great video! :D

[thestumblingbl0ck]

@smileybeth1734 so is Michael Moore but having money doesn't mean you can't also have a heart and eyes opened to reality.

I love hearing people with money cry that people hate them for having it, then say hateful things about the occupiers. No, they hate them for being uncaring. It's not that hard to understand how to be a human being.

[SmileyBeth1734]

I love Weird Al, but isn't he most likely part of "the rich?" Unless he has squandered all the money he has made over the years, I would guess his net worth puts him in the top 1% (which only takes an annual income of $300K.)

[dontpunchgirls]

@SmileyBeth1734 your thinking of the top 10%

[trishthestalker]

@SmileyBeth1734 Depends on what he does with his money.

[anarpit]

@SmileyBeth1734 it's not because someone is ''popular'' that means he is rich...

[cdbradshaw82]

These chicks need to go on the Colbert Report so Stephen can straighten them out on the evils of using satire to make a political statement.

[bluefrog85]

@cdbradshaw82 Ah go blow a goat loser

[ludstertv]

Very cool! I also love G&O covering "One More Minute"! I love chicks who love Al!!

[kelajo73]

I love weird al and G&O

[ImKukie]

They should sing with Weird Al more often. I love many of their songs but hate all the profanity. It's so much better w/o it & it means I can share it w/o worrying about tainting some poor 10 year old or grandmothers ears.

[Addictionbemine]

Loved it! But I just saw criminal minds and I saw you! You played Vanessa Holden

[mcawesomeguy101]

The famous words of Riki "... So we wrote a song about it."

[TurkeyCannon]

I noticed they censored the one use of the word "Fuck" in the song I was wondering how they would convince Al to swear lol.

[losermythpatheloser]

I'm so proud of you girls. <3

[LordHarHar]

I couldn't keep facing life without my 7th home, that's for sure.

[acesofspaces100]

Cute Girls.

[eyeinidas]

And some girls to sing do do, do do do, Take a ride on the wild side.

[ImpracticalMagic]

omfg garfunkel & oates with the man the myth the legend!

[ss4johnny]

This song needs a choir somewhere in the background.

[FuzzyDander]

Thank you

[efsb]

Al's not busking it much!

[tubedorks]

This is great! Thanks for sharing and for Al and for, you know, being so dope.

[FloppyHatPhotos]

I was hoping you two would get to play with Mr. Yankovic someday.

You did a great job.

[DanSamilia]

is this the chick that was on big bang? :D

[FacciaDiBambino]

I have to agree with Jasobres. Great song .

[JHelak]

I love the B&W...very artsy!

[elwebstar]

im so happy for you guys! it amazing to watch you grow. keep it coming!

[Gropings]

I pretty much exploded when I saw Garfunkel & Oates AND Weird Al in my subs. Holy shit.

[MissRyeBear]

finally, they have joined forces. huzzah

[cnemnich1]

I used to play with Weird Al, but then I took an arrow in the knee...

[Atuchy]

How fucking cool.

[rgman66]

Awesome!

[GrayStudios]

Someone get that man a music stand. Seriously? Weird Al Yankovic has to balance his lyrics on a bar stool?

[sgalt1981]

Let's let Garfunkel and Oates decide how much of the money you earn you get to keep!!!!

[GypsyAttack]

whaaaa.......

[MajorFort]

The 12 disliker are the 1%!

[halfmanhalfmetal]

Yes. Come on people, Protect our resource of wealthy humans. They're just so fragile.

[Platypi007]

Very awesome!
