  • hi ! im david !!

  • david would come forth walking even if he was in the grave after hearing this song.

  • 0:53 is my Grandma and her aunt

  • @DinoDestroyer34 Your grandmother is young enough to have an aunt?

  • @levanyzzuf No its Nellies aunt and my grandma you see we are cousins

  • wish video was better, because great song.

  • i love this song... and it has nothing to do with weeds.... (( although i do like that show ))

  • If my other comment didn't post, your Gemini is showing! It's always a bottle - Michelob Ultra to be exact. Not too often in the last 13 years, now try to stop after no more than 3 (this has been about 5 times, hangovers last longer than they used to!)

  • Grey´s Anatomy!

  • Weeds S1E1

    Doug smoking bud in his van. I want to get high with Doug listening to this song ... Got to love when he's singing this song stoned as hell.

  • i want to get high with Doug in his white van while this song is playing lmao

  • weeds sent me here

  • what a drug music ?

  • Comment removed

  • Ha this was on Weeds wasnt it. When Doug was in the minivan at the soccer game

  • 0:53 is my grandma

  • weeds FTW

  • good song, came up in Regina Spektor's mix, although i do watch weeds, i never knew it was on the show. ..no more cable. :(

  • @shaungates it's on the first episode, outro song =]

  • Weeds rocks !!

  • She's an amazing artist, songwriter and musician. I wonder if David was chosen because it sounds similar to baby. "Baby, don't you hear me at all? Baby, won't you give me a call?" It would be typical of her way of playing with words, and a really clever way of making the song "unisex" to the audience, but she breaks that pattern once: "just pour me a drink, right out of the can, I don't wanna think, I just want my maaaan". I wonder if it's intentional?

  • amazing song

  • did weeds bring anyone else here

  • @collinvk

    you are not alone;)

  • @collinvk I'm not "in the scene": is this considered a good song to get stoned to?

  • @SamuelRiv I don't know, I'm not a big stoner, what I was referring too was a T.V, show called weeds that has this song played in one or two episodes. Though, after asking some of my stoner friends, yes this is a good song to get stoned too.

    P.S. I would highly recommend the show it is incredibly funny

  • @collinvk Yes, I was aware of the Weeds reference (I'm afraid I don't like the show as much as you), which is why I was curious. Ask them to play her entire 1st album on their next trip - I get high just listening to it sober!

  • Nellie McKay, I am hopelessly in love with you. If you are reading this, would you marry me?

  • subscription 4 subscription anybody? message me and ill subscribe right away:)

  • I want to blaze to this song.

  • crap song...........

  • dfgdfgdf

  • Volume = too low.

  • Katy Perry is so alsome not that gurl

  • you suck ass

  • Pretty chill song to blaze too.

  • heard it on grey's anatomy, lol.

  • Dude, heard this from weeds and had to look it up.

  • I really like this song, but this video sucks

  • @adimadi101 How can you not like her!!!

    @perracp12 This is her job...

  • i dont like her...

  • Can anyone tell me... what version of the song is this? The one I have a copy of sounds very glossy and overproduced and clean.... and the pace is a little bit slower it seems. This one from the video sounds so much better. Are there several versions of it or am I imagining things?

  • She is SO UNDERRATED! It's criminal I tells ya!

  • really good stuff, i'm surprised it's so recent, sounds old school.

  • WEEDS <3

  • She's got the old fashion beauty <3 her

  • GRAMMIE!

  • This song is the best!

  • one of the best song in tho wourld

  • omg been looking for this song for ages heard it in "weeds"

  • one of the best songs ever created!

  • I'm in love.

  • What a voice....perfect.

  • Id give my left hand to date her

  • I've got that song outta a skatevid:P

  • Erik pettersson ,right?

  • yea! it sounds in Erik J. Pettersson vid ;)

  • TAB?

  • nelly mckay's as hawt as her voice.

  • I thought that this song was about David from "Sabrina" with Audrey Hepburn.

    I guess I was wrong, but it sort of fits, doesn't it?

  • lol I think you're refering to Grey's Anatomy ;)

  • I found this song thru Gossip Girl or Privileged or one of those CW silly shows my wife watches.. Very nice and Dido "esque"

    Love it!

  • A woman after my own heart...

  • McKay

  • Dear Nellie, Finally... A song written just for me! A very good one too! Love, David xxxooo

  • AHHH! I heart this song sooo much! Its funny when shes in that pink dress I feel like shes gonna break out and start singing "Popular" ! Lol!

  • found this song through a skate video, its not really my type of music but i gotta say, its pretty catchy lol

  • sweet, keep rolling!

  • I found out this song trough "Weeds", the TV show. The videoclip is perfect, with this little mess I like. I like the song too !

    (Sorry for my beginner english)

  • Nellie don't you hear me at all

    Nellie won't you give me a call

    Waitin' here not makin' a sound

    Nellie come around

    Nellie don't you hear me at all

    Nellie dear I'm just down the hall

    Waitin' here not makin' a sound

    Nellie come around

    David from Hungary ;)

  • she's kinda like a female version of Jason Mraz...

  • I'm not too sure about being the female version of him...but, this song definitely sounds very similar to his song "lucky".

  • I wish she would be more widespread! Her CD is fantastic, the only public exposure she really had is a brief song in Greys Anatomy, and Weeds!

  • it's quite a huge help for a carreer in music to have songs played in a TV show. I have discovered Nellie when David was played in Weeds and lot of the bands i like comes from watching shows like Weeds or any HBO broadcasting

  • Paris.

  • she looks really good at 0:58, which is when she has the turquoise trench coat and glasses. she looks very mature.

  • god, this video must have taken FOREVER to make! but i love the song and the video. the video really fits the song, too. especially when she says "chaos pervades the world outside," and the visual is a tank that is about to get blown up.

  • This is such a goofy music video... And I love it

  • Nellie's so great and inspirational! I discovered her records and then saw her in Minneapolis and she's just wonderful!

  • ha... david eisenbach must be embarrassed as hell

  • it about me and evrything i taught her

  • I dont think this video does the song justice. I found it through Erik J Peterssons skateboarding part ( watch?v=MJ2MQojxrbM& ) and thats the video I still like better. The song is VERY VERY good though.

  • I can't believe that there isn't even one "Tipperary" video on YouTube at this time. Hey, babysnakes666, can you upload one, even if it's just from Conan O'Brien?

  • What is this song about? For some reason it seems so sad to me, I want to cry when I hear it.

  • It's about her professor at Manhattan school of Music David Eisenbach

  • Best vegan musician out there...!

  • I kind of think that Ben Gibbard is the best vegan musician, but she's good!

  • Get away from me is one of the best albums of the genre I've heard so far! 100% recommendable!

  • @Hotspur21 I remember when In got this record! When I shelved the jealousy, I was smitten. I submitted it to Marianne McPartland, and she thanked me. And a week later she was on her show. I know I had something to do with it because I got an E Mail. I do not want credit, I want things to improve.

  • @Hotspur21 what genre do you consider this, I consider it to be of the toots and the maytals pop reggae influence ilk

  • I love this video

  • Your voice can be compared to that of Regina Spektor's. It's very pleasant and quite enjoyable. =]

  • i don't know about comparing the two, but they both have very lovely voices and i am a huge fan of both of them.

  • Is that Chris Botti at 2:20?

  • i understand your argument, but it's impossible for this song to be about david archuleta, because this song was written in 2004, four years BEFORE david archuleta was on american idol. besides, this song is about david eisenbach, a teacher at the manhattan school of music. anybody who is a TRUE fan of this song knows that.

  • i'm a TRUE fan of this song but I didn't know this. what's wrong with that?

  • Obviously, if you were a "TRUE fan", you'd know that too.

    Be a "TRUE fan" for only $6.99.

  • @KnutFreakKid if you had any sence of common sence, you'd know thats she's can only be talking about 2 different ppl.... its either david her bf.....or david from the bible, the saint

  • @KnutFreakKid ha thanks for this-- i had eisenbach at columbia and he mentioned nellie mckay offhand (this was waaay back in 2006 and i believe he was teaching at both schools at the time.) so we went and looked her up and found this song and were convinced in a conspiracy theory-kind of way that this was about him because he was always drinking poland springs water, which is mentioned in the song, i think? (just wondering, did she straight-up say it was him in an interview of something?)

  • @jackstab Poland Spring was referenced in "Respectable", another song from the same album.

  • its impossible for this song to be about david archuleta, because this song was written in 2004, four years BEFORE david archuleta was on american idol. besides, this song is about david eisenbach, a teacher at the manhattan school of music. anybody who is a TRUE fan of this song knows that.

  • i am obsessed with this song! it has been in my head since i discovered it last week

  • videoclip suxs but melody is madafuckaa peaceeful

  • videoclip suxs but melody is madafuckaa peaceeful

  • this video has a weird feeling.

    but i liked it.

  • Boy do I love girls who find themselves so funny. I doubt David Eisenbach will write a song about her anytime soon.

  • this girl went to my school (manhattan school of music) and this song is about one of the humanities teachers, david eisenbach. the word she is saying at the beginning is his last name backwards. everybody talks about her weird obsession with him. the red book she's reading about 'self-esteem' in one shot in this video came from our student life office. kinda creepy.

  • Curious. From the lyrics I gather that David either did not know of, or did not return Nellie's affections for him. I wonder if fans will ever learn the story behind the song.

  • she has said that she gave david a bad student-teacher review, because, according to her, he was always ignoring her, thus explaining the phrase, "David don't you hear me at all?" it wasn't that she loved him.

  • maybe, but i think the self-deprecating song and video show her attempting to overcome her crush as constructively impossible. some of the lyrics and video shots definitely look to me like she's making fun of it.

  • If she wasn't so pretty I wouldn't watch the video, I'd just listen. <3

  • lol this is all kinds of awesome.

  • to custardandspence:

    think about this lyric: "just pour me a drink/ right out of the can/ i don't wanna think/ i just want my man." [sarcastically] sure, of course it makes sense for her to be gay... sure...

  • Shut up. who cares dork. Shes just like the kelly family.Only hot.

  • god she is genius. and the video is super-creative and captivating.

  • love this song. love her wardrobe!

  • I <3 her...sexually. [2]

  • I <3 her...sexually. [2]

  • that made me dizzy. great song though

  • I loved this! It just said so much...

    If you made this, then you are amazing at making music videos.

  • I <3 her...sexually.

  • song from weeds

  • love this song!!!!!!!

  • I really like this video. It says a lot about her personality and life. Anyone who loves animals is ok with me :)

  • I agree. The video is very original. I LOVE the song too. Her low notes are beautiful.

  • It's reassuring that in a world full of wannabe pop idols real talent can still emerge. Wonderful!

  • i wish there was more music like hers. It just feels good to listen to her music

  • Try Regina Spektor =] at times she's a lil more punky but w/e

  • Or Cara Beth Satalino

  • i'm thinking about stalking her

  • O.o

  • ha.

  • We all are !

  • Get in line...

  • even though the video is low budget i like it

  • shes just adorable!

  • im not going crazy

    but i think the dancing woman at 00:53 is my grandma.

  • no, i think it's mine...

  • Wait...that's my mom!

  • i never knew my dad was so popular

  • I just saw her live recently, she's adorable and tremendously entertaining. what a fantastic, fun and funny show she puts on!

  • She is so ridiculously talented and so ridiculously gorgeous!

  • I have an autograph from her. n____n <3

  • You have her autograph? Give it to me!

    Jealousness. :(

  • I love this song so much. Nellie Mckay is the best singer on the earth.

  • This song is the best, but I have a bit better version o_o;

  • Great song ánd great video. Especially because there are no naked bimbo's in it.

  • i am not so sure what this song means

  • this is great! But check out this: the pageant of the bizarre by Zero 7. its the best

  • i think im in love with nellie!

  • The video shows what she thinks about her country and government... Shouldn`t go even if you don´t agree with it...

  • I heard it on Greys Anatomy too. This song is awesome!

    But you have right, video must go. :D
