The Residents - Man's World

[StoneColdChile]

The Residents: Mind Fuck us since 1970

[DrEphrem]

where would the world be without the Residents?

[bowman62rd]

The Ability to express themselves as they feel, without Marketing groups, PR folks, Bean Counters on the Mezzanine level, or some record company corporate person flying in on their personal LearJet, just to get them to sign some contract. "The Residents" are the ULTIMATE "Stick it to the Man" performing group! THANKS, Residents!

[SytrusISurtys]

putting the residents on vevo is like occupying wall street to ask for a police state, it just doesn't make any sense.

[vastcore]

wtf did i just watch

[SimpatiK]

Wow, watching this video with a Justin Bieber add under it is just fucked up.

Solid targeting.

[alexsweeley]

@SimpatiK Firefox and adblock, my friend. Haven't seen an ad in months.

[MisterSynyster]

so...they are sponsored...but we still don't know who they are...curses...

[freeway71]

This used to get played on early MTV along with Barnes and Barnes' Fish Heads.

[pezfugo3]

..............

[leirgauk]

This brings up an important question... Are there any female invetions? Other than straw man arguments?

[Applemask]

If Marty Feldman hadn't had Graves' disease (and wasn't two years dead already) then that could almost be his face.

[Gmancrap]

"This, this is a mans world?"

[Deadjoe669]

The live version sung by Molly Harvey is a GILLION times better!!

[eelpieballox]

fuck off dip shit you miss the point ,, its not about being good here,, iggy pop did a great version of this fucker too,, but this is different ,, its the residents you twat !!

[Deadjoe669]

@Deadjoe669 molly harvey is a resident. she has a beautiful voice. iggy's not beautiful. and neither is this dude. it's a different kind of tune when a beautiful woman is the voice. shithead.

[gothicanimeangel96]

@Deadjoe669 You are talking to yourshelf, and you are kinda not making sense. How someone looks have very little to do with thier voice.

[Deadjoe669]

@gothicanimeangel96 It's on the icky flix dvd. Here, I like this version best. /watch?v=WvqNlFAZ3yY

[bcapoeman]

Whose face is in the video? After 35 years they've left enough clues. Hell, they're not even trying to hide their identities anymore. Anyone who wants to know can find out, the corollary being that anyone who finds out won't tell anyone else. This is not a troll, it's respect for the concept. If you want to put in 15 minutes on an internet search, you can know too, and not tell anyone else.

[Sexyboy2226]

Just one question - whose face they using in this music video? Who the fuck is this guy?

[parasitodeluz]

It's a pretty cool version, I love The Residents -specially those old albums-, but the original song by James Brown is perfect.

[TheMrJamOn]

perfect love song

[Sexyboy2226]

Everyday i'm watch this clip and everyday I ask myself: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?

[SpoonFullOfJimmy]

@Sexyboy2226

Fuck thats exactly it!

[AWSH17]

Man trying to assert his dominance in a pathetic manner, when he is just another slave to the machines, no it is not a mans world, we all belong to the machines....Fucking brilliant, i love the residents

[roylopear]

Does anyone else think that is Igor (actor Marty Feldman) from "Young Frankenstein" (1974)?

[parasitodeluz]

@roylopear I'm pretty shure he's not Marty Feldman. Marty's eyes are far bigger. This guy reminds me of Maxx Headroom's actor.

[roylopear]

I'm glad that an ironic song about ridiculous misogynistic patriarchal assertions and divisions has been made even more ironic. :)

[jcrashcup]

Best cover ever

[NateCap13]

why the fuck are the residents on vevo?

[IlFabbricanteDiFumo]

@NateCap13 because they must be everywhere at once

[thesxex]

@NateCap13 Because Vevo owns everything

[davethejeweler]

radio 1990. thank god for it

[karkkiliininam]

I think I'm tripping :D

[yuppigup]

NO 3:53 !!!

[FraAngelico729]

WTF just happened?

[ronalpollo]

puto vevo

[SirSamurbatsu]

The Mighty Boosh was clearly influenced heavily by this.

[DXshadow91]

this is insanly Wierd and Creepy.

[TheBradyarnold]

Is that John C McGinley with blue face paint?

[Dideldou]

Hey! Just a question - Does anyone know when this video was made? ^^ It looks like early 90's to me...

[yuppigup]

@Dideldou 1960's

[alguerrero]

@Dideldou The Residents covered the song in 1984 to promote their album George and James.

[johnfrew182]

[YouGotWoodRolled]

[oRISHI12]

[mccoydfm404]

i am Crazy I guess I love the Residents ! Eyeball !!! on!

[50sAllTheWay]

This song is amazing, but the video is something of the most disturbing I've seen in my life. God, that blue man makes me crazy. But I guess that's what makes it so fantastic

[mxjustin22]

is my mind being fucked with right now.. what is going on here...

[0corpsefan0]

alright, this is horrible so im just gonna leave now

[50sAllTheWay]

I wonder how the director of this musicvideo explained how it was going to be. Especially what he told the crazy blue man to do.

[belongin]

FUCK VEVO

[nuke97]

Is it me or is this video out of sync with the song?

[ThePhilosorpheus]

@nuke97 you´re kidding right?

[vincentBurden]

@nuke97 Heh heh.



[miceskin]

I can't believe man made fucking vevo! Jesus!

[MrHappy818]

[keepitinyourpantsjoe]

feminism fornever!!!

[MenNoHorses]

MEN NO HORSES

[buzzcat3]

over one million hours in MSPaint

[rickcain2320]

@buzzcat3

dude, those graphics predated mspaint by about 15 years. Probably a Tandy color computer with a genlock.

[MenNoHorses]

MEN NO HORSES

[Joeey]

Sorry. I got rid of my Toyota and I don't watch Toyota ads.

[MarieFLauritzen]

Awesome cover! I saw them in Larvik a couple of weeks ago, and before the concert a bunch of their videos were played in one of the concert rooms. I came in when this started, and I must say it was one of the awesomest things I've experienced in my life.

[Vassenato]

I watched this while tripping on DXM

Breathtaking.

[vaf88]

@Vassenato lol dxm is cool, but ask your local expert for "doses"

[Vassenato]

@vaf88

It's all good man, I know my shit. I have read the DXM faq, Registered on the DV, and lurk on /dis/.

[MEXIKAMUSIC]

Ahhhhhhhhhh the residents! We are simple, you are simple life is simple too...

[slownoman]

Sid Barrett does soul music.

[CleansWithRag]

Catchy

[Bram25]

I thought a itty bitty baby. AND I HABEEBED IT!

[Jcolinsol]

@Bram25

You had a habibi?

[lesleyblood1]

saw them '90?...with snakefinger...someone stole the eyeball mask

[ifeellikeacobbsalad]

the first 15 seconds are completely glorious.

[ripponesan]

@ 423likeajewel: Affirmative!

[ElNikster]

people should record themselves when they get into the philosophical high state, then put some music with it.... it would probably be as good if not better than this.

[Aiicyla]

0:13 The Face of Boe forgetting to breathe?

[zerobeat18]

@Aiicyla I don't see the resemblance to Captain Jack. At 3:11 you see the Tent And Retreating Dude In Suit

[xpsicodelikaxAZULx]

los amo

[hedcase23]

gotta be a fan

[BlueCollarTweeker]

I've been watching Residents videos on Youtube for the past 15 min. This is my first exposure to them and I can already say that this is the craziest shit i've ever seen.

[preston9219]

@BlueCollarTweeker dude i remember when i first found them and spent like an hour on youtube just watching there movies. its serial.

[Jcolinsol]

@preston9219

No sir, it's real.

[preston9219]

@Jcolinsol :O

[423likeajewel]

Advice: Do NOT watch this while high. You WILL fuck out sideways

[Gnobbee]

Afriend of mine got me interested in their music in the 90's.. any pointers from fans as to decent websites so I can find out more?

[Sykatos]

Genial!!

[MysteriousDrF]

Beautiful.

[bbqufc]

Dislike

[havenoneatall]

No need to seek out GREAT MUSIC, this group sets standards beyond expectations. Grammy winners extraordinaire!

[TheOwl1970]

The guy in the video looks like he is taking a serious shit.

[madahad9]

I have been a fan of The Residents for some time and was glad to find all these videos online which I have not seen since the days of USA's Night Flight.

[mrsjanina68]

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

I thought wrong.

[bl00ht]
