Sneaker Pimps - M'aidez

[endrake2]

I love this video. I watch it a bunch of times then forget about it for a long time then when I remember it I have to watch it again a bunch of times. The song and the video somehow express for me something I feel that I just can't put in to words.

[taaris]

@endrake2

TNKS :)

the sneaker pimps done 60%....

[NearlySam]

Help me = Aidez-moi. or "Vous m'aidez" ...

[NearlySam]

J'adore cette chanson

I fuckin love this song

[silvernode]

The guy in this video just looks weird.

[SigurTibbs]

I believe M'Aidez is the actual original word that was used by french pilots about crashing. The pronounciation of it sounds like May-Day in english. Now with all that aside. This song is the sweetness. I wish I could share its joy with people i know who don't know it. but they'd just say. "Oh its not Lady Gaga? or Keisha? nahh."

[binichmoses]

to all the people which hate this song :

how can u hate this?! i really wanna know

[2warNINg]

I think this was entirely Awsome!

[TBarneck]

God I just love this song!!!

[urbanr0cker]

I really do love this song :).

[verial]

closet homosexual singing a sneaker pimps song ahahah

[Gellis2009]

what does m'aidez mean?

[taaris]

@Gellis2009

I think its a call for help

[spark65]

@taaris Exactly. It means "help me".

[umnachtet]

@taaris It is a distress call. Where the term "Mayday" came from, in fact.

[borghooz]

@taaris

M'aidez in french doesent mean nothing in fact ,u have to say " aidez moi " for "help me".. but ur right, its something like that ^^

[Gellis2009]

@taaris Do you think that is where mayday comes from?

[dermotoblong]

@taaris haha!! what like 'may day may day'?

[mcjustin1]

@Gellis2009 It's a poor translation to French. It should be called 'Aidez moi', which would be 'help me'. I don't know if they made the mistake on purpose or not.

[zhivgb]

@Gellis2009 In French: Aidez-moi! would be a call for help meaning 'Help me!'; m'aidez would looks somewhat unfinished to me, it means again 'help me', but as a statement like as in 'you help me', which in FR would be 'Vous m'aidez'. I hope this wasn't too thorough ^^

[BennyBrilleman]

@zhivgb They probably just used "M'aidez" because it sounds like the English word, "Mayday."

[j4allen]

@Gellis2009

'help me' 

[BrotherDown1]

@Gellis2009 M'aidez is French for 'Help me'

[NeonBoneyard]

@Gellis2009

means

"help me" :] 

[CynicalMayhem]

@Gellis2009 It means Help me in french

[irianholli]

@Gellis2009 It means "Help me" in French.

[Gaeilgeoir]

Does anyone know what she's singing in the first 30 seconds?? :)

[grazg10]

[gorzyga]

Nice video!

[fearfulsmile1]

[prince49]

Wow, that was so serene yet intensely captivating.

5 stars.

[MattTheBattleCat]

one of the best songs 4 chillen out^^

[buddha4tw]

WOW, awesome fan video clip, great song, the girl in the clip is soo cute.

[benstilla]

Well done.

[chaozchild]

Very good. I love your video. Ive been sneaker pimps fan since the 90's beautiful song

[tuchesuavae]

can some one please tell me the name of the one who sang back up with chris she really adds to the song.

[sfinn85]

That would be Sue Denim from 'Robots In Disguise', who is also his ex-girlfriend

[tuchesuavae]

ohhhhh ok thank you very much she has a lovely voice a great addition to the song.

[tuchesuavae]

ummm you guys talking crap you DO know tyat the sneaker pimps covered this song right?... riiiiight. so why cant a fan make a vid to a brilliant cover?

[sfinn85]

The lyrics are by Corner, Howe and Pickering.

[goldmundelectronica]

One of Chris Corner's best songs with the Sneaker Pimps

[Tzimnewman3]

ΙΔΦ είναι σκάτα!!!!

Είσαι πουστί ρε μαλάκα!!!!! Γαμοτο ΙΔΦ, γαμοτιν παναγια σου και το κριστος σου!!!!!!

Μαλάκα!!!!!

"Σηιτ βιδεο"

[bitturbitter]

Very good video! You have very good taste in music. Sneaker Pimps = awesome.

[chris01598]

This is a poorly made video.

Your screen transitions are terrible.

Otherwise, good song.

[stellaviolens]

I tend to agree , this doesn't add to the song .

Apart from accessing the SP's music here through this medium I don't see much of a point with it.

[AnAlternativeWorld]

envy

try to do it better

is really good for a fan made

[objetovolantenoiden]

que pintas más horteras, un video mu chunguillo

[RedAlert73]

Beautiful ! I like this very much ! Thank you !

[maxdamagus]

excellent work,

[TPSTTLP]

I agree... You can't take a sassy female front person out of the picture and say, "Hey...everyone...don't worry...we're the same band! We promise!" To me...Sneaker Pimps is Kelli and the rest...no exceptions.

[muciallyobsessed]

Cept she didn't write any of the music at all. She was not part of the creative process. Nor was she the front of the band.

[TPSTTLP]

At the end of the day, we know what we like and don't like, and - for me - my interest in this band stopped when she left. What you say my be correct, but she was interface I preferred that creativity to channel through, but that's just me because I always associated the band with her as the singer, so I couldn't break that association.

[Aletheides3]

the vast majority of popular artists get their songs written for them... but it doesn't make any difference. all of their hits are sung by kelli, videos with kelli... when people saw sneaker pimps it ='s kelli.... in the end they fuked themselves

[DKMAN86]

i agree with you TPSTTLP

[err058]

Woow... This song has something...

And video is great. Looks very professional.

[54spiritedwill54]

beautiful song... <3

[eletberlin]

well done! mazel tov!

[Salvianow]

I just can't take this band seriously without Kelli. Like a bad joke or something.

[wannabeweasel]

would have been great if you showed more of the hot chicks booty..

[subversed]

nice but chris corner isn't a skinhead.

[botezalexandru]

it only needs one. cool.

[larry390]

Excellent fanvid... very touching interplay fits the beauty of the song well. The actress is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. ***** :-D

[jonutarr]

he really doesn't match the voice but good effort no less

[loneorrea]

can someone send me this song, please.

or just ive me the link to download it.

i would be so grateful.

[sfinn85]

I can send it to you, if you like. ;-)

[loneorrea]

oh, it's very nice of you, but i have already found it :D

thanks anyways :)

[sfinn85]

No problem. ;-)

[mollygiggles]

Hey! Really old hindi song at the beginning.

[DannGuitarSlam]

It's a rly great song!! I love it

The video is awesome made by the way!

Great editing, u got me thinking for like 3 months that this was the real music video until today i saw the description! :P

[stoner420punk]

it looks to me like theres a romance between them and she feels tied down. it pains her but she leaves him because he ties her down ???????? =]

[stoner420punk]

can someone help me???  if someone could tell me the meaning of this song or were to find it that whould b amazing!!! =] its an awsome vid by the way =]

[Weissb87]

Si algo chido tiene la globalizacion es que se puede escuchar musica de todos lados, bendita web.

[Weissb87]

Muy bueno, muy bueno.

[angelmarine1292]

Very nice song.

[SachielTube]

awesome fon video! congrats!

[detagirl]

Really amazing .goes perfectly with the song .

[FeralChildBuff]

Very well done!! This is really great and does justice to a beautiful song by a brilliant and amazing band.

[XuserfriendlyX]

"The actor who plays the guy is NOT chris corner."

Haha, that made me laugh :D

[SuvineLumememm]

Haha, me too :D

Really beautiful video btw, well done.

[80462856]

Kelli didn't sing at all on this track... it's just Chris Corner and Sue Denim

[Vintasamovar]

First album is the best!

[emotivelotion]

nice

[flEy9]

beautiful song... <3

[yhnops]

i can become Kelli slave. anytime...

[lupoalesato]

I liked the video, although the male actor didn't seem to fit very well.

I'm not sure where "Superschmoo" got the impression of Christianity from.

[taaris]

Me neither...

but each person sees whats he sees....

this is what art is all about. every person have his own different point of view.

[SUPERSCHMOO]

this looks like a christian video now.

[milsorgen]

hahahah it really does, it really does...

[nightcreaper4ever]

im confused

[llKiZzKiZzll]

just perfect

[taaris]

tnx!

[xXAkridXx]

Um... where is the girl with the incredible voice?

[AOCRkid]

they dropped her after their first LP. biggest mistake ever.

[brittneywhattt]

agreed.

[skwsoldier]

Actually, if I had to pick between her voice and his songwriting skills, I'll take the songs every single time. This is an amazing track.

[cookiesandlemonade]

Agreed

[milsorgen]

yeah check her out, kelli ali she went solo... i got ahold of several of her cd's, and yeah... it's pretty weak compared to what these guys have manged to do in every aspect but sex appeal

[ammoniaboy]

this was great. the video was inspired by the song. he's sharing his creativity.

[AdamLanghorne]

WHy is it that everyone that tries to make music videos for songs end up embarrassing themselves? There's a reason none of you are on tv...your faces have no personality and youre just corny.

[Geelopez]

love it

[joeveenpresents]

Great video and song!

[taaris]

tnx

[moemagic112]

they are so good

i feel kinda special

to know about them

cause not a lot of people i know,know the sneaker pimps

and seriously they are really really good

[YouDamnedHippies]

Yep, you are the only person in the world to know about Sneaker Pimps, not even the Sneaker Pimps know about Sneaker Pimps.... you should feel special, plastic helmet special.

[BIackBandit]

yeah thanks for that...... ;)

i deserved that,my comment was kinda stupid

plastic helemt special huh?

lol

its kool

[LieToMe101]

lol XD

[Nitenichiryu]

u are sad everyone knows songs by the sneaker pimps they may not kno it by sneaker pimps but they know the song! u sad low person

[nibargerswife51482]

nice job... :)

[auto4union]

The name refers to the Beastie Boys sending roadies out to buy them training shoes when they were on tour!Eventually they refered to them as they`r "Sneaker Pimps"!I shit you not!

[stopglobalswarming]

They have a good sounding singer, but why the heck do they want to call themselves pimps

[nonodont]

why would anyone?

[mercyde0]

Its a reference to No Logo, Naomi Klein refers to Nike as Sneaker Pimps in regards to their agressive marketing techniques.

[sparklekandy]

Oooh, what a beautiful video! You're very good at that.

[petervossen]

Wow, this video looks pretty professional. Didn't noticed till I read the comments ;)

Good work!

[cryvsspy]

professional looking perhaps but so are the new star wars and that doesn't mean they aren't garbage, just like this vid. And I don't mean the band garbage, they are good.

Please thumb down this comment!

[hippyslapper]

that was probably the best and most professional looking fan video i've seen on youtube! well to be honest i haven't seen that many fan videos on youtube, but it was still great, and yeah that girl is pretty hot.

[taaris]

tnx!

means a lot!

[eljeepi]

The only song I've heard from sneaker pimps was 6 underground. Thanks to your amazing video I have this great song wedged in my mind. Are there any other songs from them that sound like this? I need more!

[taaris]

You should check Half life, Destroying Angel, Low Five, Wife By Two Thousand, Black Ship

and another song whith So Denim (the girl that sings in M'aidez) - Grazes

Check those and tell me what u think...

[eljeepi]

Thank you so much. I really liked low five, and half life. I didn't see So Denim. Do know any other groups like sneaker pimps?

[taaris]

I ment that the singer from M'aidez also sings in a great song called Grazes... u should check it out...

About other trip hop grops... well i think the Pimps are the best... but if u are not familiar with Massive Attack, Portishead or Unkle u should check them out... Check Massive's "Mezzanine" alboum and Portishead's "Dummy"

[eljeepi]

I know about Massive Attack they're pretty cool. I am absolutely in love with Zero 7. Do you know about them?

[taaris]

Of course I know about Zero 7. Have u heard Portishead

[Nitenichiryu]

u know about massive attack wow u must be cool

[12345random67890]

Massive Attack are great, but I prefer Portishead in general; "Dummy" is an absolutely classic album.

I've only recently got into Sneaker Pimps. Hmm... I like. :) (has NOTHING to do with me having a crush on Chris Corner :P)

Hooverphonic are my favourite trip-hop band, though.

[WayOfBehaving]

This really is an amazing video!!!

[silatguy]

who's that girl in the video....your geefree? she's super hawt

[taaris]

That's Meirav Hagag and yes... she's butiful indeed...

[darknsorrow]

Good :)

it's my favorite song of Sp !

[ShenmueAtheist]

Not bad. . .

[0kristin]

No, it is french

[summerdang]

What's the meanning of "M'aidez" indeed???

[0kristin]

Means "help me"

[summerdang]

Thanks for answering! By the way,is it spanish?

[Lakatu]

French actuly

[eyeadoreava]

I really like it.. good job :)

[ammoniaboy]

Wow. This is the first time I heard this Sneaker Pimps' song. Nice and kudos to those behind the fan video.

[cryvsspy]

poor job

[floydfab]

Kelli is gorgeous

[taaris]

You do know the girl in the clip isn't Keli Ali right?

[floydfab]

No I didn't! This is the first video I've seen apart from "6 underground", it's the nosering that fooled me. Forgive my ignorance, I feel like a dickhead. You made the video?? Very good

[taaris]

tnx :)

But you can easly view some SP videos with Keli that are attached to this page in the right corner of the page:

Spin Spin Suger and Post Modern Sleaze for example... are great videos of them and with Keli. You should check it out...

[floydfab]

Thanks for the direction, checked them out, very good also. Tell me, do you think that they're better without Keli? Looking at some people's comments, it's quite a topic.

[taaris]

I once thoght the band have done a huge mistake by kicking her out.

After i've heard "Low Five" and all the tracks in theire 2nd alboum "Splinter" i've realized how great they really are.

[taaris]

It's not that Keli was bad. Keli is a great singer (u can also hear her solo alboum "Tigermouth" which is quite nice I must say) but the Sneaker Pimps themselves (especially Chris Corner, the new vocalist and the band leader. btw, u should also check I.A.M.X - his solo project) which made trip hop better then ever. rising the standart by hundrets...

After it came "Bloodsport" which was quite nice as well. it had "M'Aidez btw...

Do yourself a big favor and check them out.

[Godlim17]

I love this song the beginning doesnt really fit i dont think but other than that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song! I have been listening to it on a loop for hours lol.

[morvinkamran]

Sorry to hear that you guys have been fighting over sneaker pimps song and some of you think that its horrible, In my opinion " Wish some bands can compose music like them, the song is so rich with the tone and lyrics"

[taaris]

I have to agree... otherwise I wouldn't go and make a video for it :)

[ShaezyShae]

Most adults can give their opinions without insulting others. I really doubt that you are 22 or even 16 if you want to play the number game. Your grammar and attitude in general gave it away. Since you so adamantly voiced your opinion, heres myne: Spend less time on youtube and more time finishing school.

[6shotns240s]

If you guys are gonna get all butt hurt about one of their songs that sounds horrible, I'll leave you to your own boring crap. goodbye

[taaris]

I've lost u at "hey". Mind to explain yourself?

[ShaezyShae]

"If you guys are gonna get all butt hurt about one of their songs that sounds horrible, I'll leave you to your own boring crap. goodbye"

How old are you? You keep trying to prove my point and you're doing a good job of it. It's funny that you think this song sounds horrible and yet it's in your favorites. I hope that goodbye is sincere because you've lost all credibility at this point.

[6shotns240s]

I'm 22, how old are you, instead of quoting every fuckin thing I say and thinking that your credibility to try and govern mine means a damn thing, take a hint. "I will leave you to your own" boring crap or not. But don't take my word for it, keep ignorantly replying and so will I. Goodbye forever

[endrake2]

@6shotns240s what a douche!

[6shotns240s]

I thought this was the sneaker pimps. You gotta understand that when the band loses its singer the band kind of does not work is it stupid in here or is it just all of you? No seriously I'm wondering

[magsusulat]

What are you talking about, 6shotns240s? Seriously...I don't understand your broken English. Did you realize this was a fan video with actors lip-synching the words? People were commenting how the male actor doesn't really fit Chris Corner's voice in the song. Read the author's description of the video (especially the last paragraph).

[6shotns240s]

It sucks one way or another

[ShaezyShae]

6shots, you could have said that without being insulting to everyone else that has posted here. Maybe it's better to keep your thoughts to yourself.

[6shotns240s]

I eat sleep and drink Sneaker Pimps but this shit is unacceptable. And whether you like it or not, you are entitled to my opinion. Thank you

[ShaezyShae]

"is it stupid in here or is it just all of you? No seriously I'm wondering"

Sure give your opinions. It's just when you start insulting others that your opinion becomes worthless and reflects poorly on you.

[ShaezyShae]

The fact that another fan like yourself took the time to make something like this means alot. Maybe you like it, maybe you hate it but at least more fans like yourself decided to take a song and make a video out of it. Like the creator of this clip said "its in my appreciation to Sneaker Pimps".

[michalrzad18]

Super , szkoda że nie jest to głównym klipem Sneaker. Mozna zrobic jak Placebo przez fanów zrobiony teledysk...pozdro

[gacksy]

the video is amazing! but i agree with those who say that the male doesn't really fit the voice... still: A+

[akashaparty]

wow

[KarlNemetski]

It's weird. I had Deja Vu (I swear to God) that I was watching this video and rating it. What a fuckin' trip. At any rate, Karl Nemetski says the Sneaker Pimps song "M'aidez" is really delightful and quite pleasant.  Keep it rollin'... 4 Stars...
