  • THREE DOG NIGHT!!!

  • Balkan Brigaden!

  • what genre of song is this it reminds me of Nirvana especially at 0:31

  • Anyone know whose voice is at the very beginning of the song? Is it Harry Nilsson?

  • @horrorshow76 okay mister mix

  • The favourite song of a beautiful lady, who broke my heart.... it's taken 3 years for me to be able to bear hearing it again.

  • what a voice !!!

  • Well done!!!

  • @carriejoy724 Thank you CJ!

  • Great video. I am sure that Aimée Mann would like it, too.

  • @plauderonkel That stamp of approval would be great. Thank you for yours.

  • wow.

    so well done.

  • @xSmootHope Thank you sooo much!

  • Wasn't this version used in "Magnolia"?

  • @tseng61 Hello. Yes, this is the version used in "Magnolia" by Aimee Mann.

  • @victah The opening of Magnolia was when I first heard this song.

  • Used to love this song as a kid, glad to find it again. Also very nice video! What software did you use?

  • @AidanJeans Hi. Thank you for the compliment. I did this 10 years ago, but I think I made the color version in Final Cut Pro then I brought it into iMovie to make it black and white and add widescreen bars , title cards and noise. Thanks for posting!

  • @victah I like everything about this video except the added "scratch lines." That's an effect where a tiny bit goes a LONG way. And overused ... it just becomes cliché.

    Ah, that comment is wrong ... because it makes me seem more annoyed than delighted. And I was delighted by your video.

    Ironing with an unplugged iron, very nice. Opening the mirror to find a face there ... creepy fun!

    But I'm surprised. This was posted 4 years ago. You keep up with comments. Why not more videos? Only 4?

  • How sad that Roman Polanski gets credit the video's description. Harry Nilsson receive little credit throughout his life on the numerous remarkable hits he wrote and that sad trend continues.

  • @gardenpainter2 Hi. I changed the description to include the great Nilsson, who is a favorite of my wife, child and now me. Sorry for the slight. Ask the right people, and you'll see that he is very much remembered.

  • omg i loved that so much! 

  • im going to watch repulsion now!

  • This is probably one of the best uploaded videos in my opinion ;) . I have to say great job as I loved the film Repulsion, too.

    The woman looks like Naomi Watts......

  • @tandavaval Thank you so much! A fellow "Repulsion" fan. Cool.

  • i like this a lot!

  • It is good. But don't get a big head. It could be better. And I'm sure if you make 7 or 8 more it will be great..maybe

  • @TheDonkey420 That's kind of a dicky comment. Thanks!

  • @victah Your right I am a dick. That was a terrible thing I said. I'm sorry. Way better than I could do. I think I was in a bad mood.

  • @TheDonkey420 Hey D-420. Thank you. I never have an ego about the little projects I do. I'm a graphic designer by trade. This was just the first thing I did 10 years ago with my new camera, my wife and my Mac. When people say they don't like it, I'm TOTALLY cool with it, in fact I welcome it, but when they imply that I may have a big ego, that doesn't fly with me. I appreciate your posts.

  • Who is the pretty young woman in the video since it's obviously not Aimee?

  • @swstryker Hi. She is my wife. Thank you for the compliment.

  • @victah You are welcome! (and fortunate!)

  • does anyone know what instrument is playing in the last 60 seconds?

  • wahid.

  • Great work victah. Love it!

  • I saw Repulsion a couple of times when I was in college. Wasn't there a scene when she was carrying a chicken (or some other cooked food) around in her purse? Did you see Polanski's The Tenant? Nobody did mental illness quite as well as RP.

  • Ey Victah! just today I realized this is not an Aimee's video.... This is so good!!! Gosh... Almost 3 years ago I found this video and used to listen everyday because I was so much into the movie (Magnolia). Really, it is a great job. Now I understand why she looked different in this video. Congratulations!!! Best regards from Chile :D

  • this is scary

  • Love this video!!!! Well done!

  • lol I remember college

  • This is so beautiful; I like the original alot too and I am glad that her version is just as good, just different. So true too.

  • I like the end! As soon as she looks up at the camera, it just says END, and it is really mysterious.

  • has anybody noticed when she opens the cupboard theres a face in the mirror

  • Nice job!!

    This is better than the crap they show on MTV.

    Reminds me of Mulholland Drive.

  • Made the same mistake as a lot of folks down the list, still can't believe this isn't the official video - well done!

  • Guys, go watch, no, listen to the original, John Farnham. Just awesome.

  • Haven't we all.

  • Very, very well done :)

    You succeeded in creating a going-insane atmosphere, Way to go! Wonderful video!

  • Very, very well done :) Good going-nuts atmosphere, it's a wonderful video!

  • that creeped me out when she opened the camnit mirror and you saw thos two monster guys

  • that creeped me out when she opened the camnit mirror and you saw thos two monster guys

  • Awesome video! One of my favorite songs and you did it true justice with this. :)

    Definitely look forward to more of this caliber sometime soon.

  • Anyone know where I can download the dubstep remix of this cover?

  • Outstanding ... Bravo !!

  • she does the best cover for this song, aimee mann that is.

  • Hey, this is really really great! I thought it was the official video and I thought: "Yes, Aimme Mann did a great video! (usually they are really boring and not comparable to the level of the songs). I was not sure she was the girl in the video and infact she was not but I thought it was her artistic choice. But reading the comments I realised that you didi the video! Great job, very good! She should buy this video and use it as the official one in dvd....

  • @robertogiammanco Thank you so much. I don't think Aimee has ever seen it. Maybe one day.

  • @victah

    i think she 's seen your great job!!

    and i realized this is your work just right now...gosh

    and i tottoally agreed with @robertogiammanco !!

    this is geneus!

  • This was a real surprise..i from brazil, and i was under the impression that i was watching a short film directed by DARREN ARANOFKY!

    I mean he his one of the best filmakers nowdays..watching this video was an amazing and deep experience, by the way let me tell you that im not easily impress by any film or short film...congratulations to : victah...im deeply impress, you have REAL talent,

  • @borgia1313 Thank you so much for your compliments on my film. I appreciate it.

  • yes, good Victa. I see more . it is 2010 I hope there is more. Very well done. 4 years. I watch your movies now

    5/5

  • there are some things I would've done differently to this piece but I see what you were going for. good job.

  • i think this is the best version of this song yet

  • Thank you. I appreciate it.

  • 2:00 freaked me out

  • reminds me of Magnolia

  • I was definitely inspired by that movie. thank you.

  • I liked the videowork beside the great songs

    (btw did jon brion participate in its making ? )

    i thought it was small as it should be and quite accurate. cheers

  • Thank you. It's just a fan video, with me being the fan. I've tried to get jon brion and Aimee Mann to see it, but have not heard their opinion.

  • WOW. Amazing video. At first, I thought this was actually an official video and that was really Aimee Mann. Like the nostalgic effect of the black and white film grain. Then we get to witness her twisted descent into madness until she is twirling around, smiling and singing, practically oblivious to the observer. Then she makes eye contact. Then, at the end, she shakes her head, blurring reality, then reality sets in as her surroundings fill in with color and she looks directly at you!

  • Thank you for your concise and accurate analysis of this video. I couldn't have explained it better myself. I appreciate your comment.

  • Hmm ok call me stupid but what is this video trying to get across? Good song :D

  • just insanity and paranoia caused by loneliness. Thank you.

  • It's quite surprising I like this song.

  • Thank you.

  • She's a creep.

  • This is fantasticly done. Very creative.

  • I appreciate it. I had fun making it.

  • just got me within the first couple of bars n draged me inside.................=)

  • I'm happy that it worked for you.

  • kinda scary!

  • And original meaning the video, not the song. Haha.

  • That was....... kinda creepy..... *shudders* lol

    First I saw some guy's butt from the other side of the door and I was like "what??" ..and then I played it again, haha o.0

    But yeah she had a good voice, and it was very artistic and original =) great job

  • in shrek 2 i think shrek walks into his house and donkey is singing this

  • Oh yeah. Thanks. I like your style digumup.

  • shrek lol

  • I don't understand your comment.

  • Loved the use of this song in Magnolia.

  • Victah . . . this was the first hit I found for One . . . and such a memorable one at that. I still get creeped out thinking back on Repulsion. Wonderful homage and great work.

  • Repulsion is a masterclass in creepiness. I'm glad you enjoyed my work.

  • For a long time I thought that this video was original from the song, and the girl was Aimee, but it isn't!! I love this video, makes a special atmosphere that marked a stage of my life too. Have Victah more works like this in other place?

  • Thank you so much for your comment.

  • At the beginning of "Magnolia" this song creates an absolute perfect atmosphere. Simply great.

  • I actually adore this video .The ending was especially perfect. Fantastic.

  • I adore your review. thank you so much.

  • Nice homage to Polanski. Love her music, but, to be honest... the girl in this video is much better to look at than Aimee Mann.

  • Very cool. Repulsion is amazing, and this is too.

  • 0:50 seconds i thought she was cuttin her arm...

  • It really looks like you've put some effort in it. I really liked it, thought it was very visually appealing and cohesive

  • Well done, it's a really good video, nicely stylized. Good idea, matching the idea of "Repulsion" with this song too.

  • I looooooovvvvveeeee this - thank you

  • wow

    very artistic and creative

    great job!

  • Great video, very artistic

  • did anybody see that figure at 3:01 ?

  • you mean, 2:01? y

  • I actually loved it from beginning to end. it was very artistic and fun to watch.

  • Thank you AlphaMale. I appreciate it.

  • the video up to the bed was perfectly atmospheric.... then it kinda fell apart, huh, but great cover

  • Damn, you're critical. Some like the end the best. At least no one hates the whole thing. Thanks for watching and posting.

  • Lol, I hate how she says "experience". Other than that she sings the song great:).

  • Why would you make fun of my wife's lisp? That's mean! She's still hurt by that. "Hate" is a strong word. Other than that, thank you for watching and posting.

  • Magnolia !!

  • I KNOW *@#!!!

  • i really like the intro :)

  • thank you!

  • Actually... if you're not a pervert, then number two is lonelier than number one. :)

  • i would sing this song in my apartment all alone....i love it...this song!!

  • good song

  • Close to Harry, but I wouldn't 'try' this one :-)

  • ah, that was exactly the version i wanted! Thanks for uploding!

  • This vid is brilliant.

  • This videeeo is creative ! i liked it aha :)

  • Much better than 'Three Dog Night's' version wayback in the early 70s.  This is a chilling version.

  • Both versions are great. Simply because the song is great.

  • this song is like a disciption of my life i love this song

  • Victah, I wanna tell you I really liked your vdieo. It is AWSOOOOOOME. Do you have a degree in Cinema and Television?

  • I have a degree in graphic design, but I love Cinema. That you so much.

  • I Love this version! She did an amazing job with it!!!

  • hey unclebobo u did it wrong

    its

    "did anyone see the faces in the mirror at 3:01 ? "

  • its actually 2:01 :P

  • i think it's supposed to resemble how being alone is slowly making her insane.

  • nice song

  • did anyone see the faces in the mirror at 3.01 ?

  • thanks

  • Man that woman is a real Beauty

  • i don't think it's as good as the original by Three Dog Night

  • the originals actually by harry nilsson, but i really like that version too. i really like her voice though

  • shes so great and we love she

  • what;s with the ghost thing

  • The ghost represents a person's inner demons and psychosis,  and the way they manifest themselves metaphysically....

    just kidding...I just thought it would look cool.

  • Oh wow lol

  • funny

  • "1 is the lonelies number that you ever will do. 2 can be as bad as one its the loniest number since the number 1 ohhhhhh ohhhh" i put this is teh search engin and got something about uk deal or no deal trying to find this song,i put in the word "one" and found this and teh real song on youtube, i freaking hate freaking goolge freaking crapy freaky crrap, i guess, its finds porn just fine though.

  • no-all the good porn has been deleted by some save the whales group

  • whales are good, porn is bad.

  • i disagree

  • that woman looks like my sister.

  • 2:00 ? oh snap :(

  • You really need to make films!!!!!

    This was outstanding, simply outstanding!

    You really should make movies!!!!!!

  • your girl is juicy junior....real juicy

  • Hey, pretty cool ideas in that vid. Keep it up. Keep it right up.

  • the ending is really freaky

    her voice gives me chills! ty for uploading victah

  • To myoozikNme,

    OhMyGod same! :D

    I'm sitting here with goosebumps!

  • Best Movie/soundtrack ever!

  • is it just me or is this sexual. "one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do"

  • It could be sexual, since the unplugged iron may represent Freudian "penis envy" in female neuroses. Her symbolic male (plug) can not be connected to the female (receptacle) therefore loneliness ensues. However Freud's theory has long been discredited. So , yeah, it's just you.

  • lol now tht i think about yeah kind of but tht if i think dirty lol but i think they mean one asin in lonly so if ur lonely ur one

  • lol dam, now that i think of it, it dose sound sexual

  • 5 stars, good effort and good work!

  • i've watched this one many times. thanks for the entertainment.
