  • super geiles lied! <3<3<3<3

  • Is it me or did this video air on Disney Channel back in the day? I remember watching it a lot when I was little.

    Thank Goodness for Youtube because this song just randomly popped in my head today. "She likes me for me.Not because I hang with Leonardo.Or that guy who played in 'Fargo.' I think his name is Steve."

    Classic. Love this song.

  • I wanna get me one of them pink suits, maybe then pretty girls will try to kiss me all the time....

  • Wow finally found this song!! Heard it once back when i was in primary and all of a sudden the lyric " She likes me for me, not because I'm tough like Dirty Harry

    Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey" popped into my head and remebered i liked it and searched it.. Thank god for interent otherwise i would have never found it, just typed in the lyric i new and voila..

  • @Willymacky275 nobody caresss

  • @vtfan27 You didnt have to read it you fucking forskin... Whatta fukin no life loser reading comments posted over a month ago...

  • Findly found it ...soo emocial >)

  • had no idea this guy was black.. thats awesome!

  • damn, guys.... This is such a cheerful song how the hell did we get from that to these argument? I guess we can all agree the song is cool. Why not leave it at that?

    Oh, also, still wanna find a guy that likes me for me!!!!!

    :D

  • ...seriously, totally thought the look like Tyson Beckford line would have gave it away.

  • @luckyold317 lmao people dont listen to lyrics

  • This is what I wanna find too!!!!!!

  • i thought i was the only one who thought the singer was white... but no big deal.. always liked his voice

  • dude i love this song man an whoever says anythin bout the singer needs to shut it cus hes awesome

  • @frollun2 Conspiracy? Hahaha you must be high. Ever think that youtube resets the top comments for variety? It happens on every video.

    And about the lead singer being African American, really I just saw it and said hmm...that's cool. After I learned about Darius Rucker in Hootie way back I learned not to be surprised anymore. It just means people from all races made better music in the 90s

  • Of course you don't look like Leonardo...unless that was an alias Bob Marley used.

  • I had no idea the dude was black but what really surprised me was how much country music you can hear in it.I love the harmonica and country music parts! havent heard it since MTV.... this song is so good!

  • I love this song...

  • i had this vid in my head forever and the brother stood out

  • Haven't heard this song in forever.

  • i don't want to ask you people of much but if you click on page 11 you will see i have more views than the "HIGHEST RATED COMMENTS" on the same exact comment i left behind!

    I PROMISE YOU ... LOOK IT UP AND TELL ME THERE IS NOT A CONSPIRACY!!!

  • I MISS THE 90'S!

  • im surprised that hes black but i dont have a new opinion on the song. im not bitchin or racist. great song

  • Not gonna lie I was expecting a white guy BUT I'm not shocked and I don't know why ppl are overreacting. It all depends on the kind of music you grow up listening to. Many white singers sound black e.g, Pink when she first started singing R&B/Pop, Joss Stone, Crystal Lewis, Christina Aguilera though she's Latina. And what about Darius Rucker the lead singer of hootie and the blowfish. Many ppl thnk he's white but he's black. So get over it.

  • Yeahhh right, she likes me for me and not the money or fame. Dream on....

  • Hey want me to name the race of the singer? It has an n in it. Human. Understand? We are all human, not black or white, but human! Damn racists.

  • @j0nj0n3697 hyour an idiot for using racist out of term

  • @j0nj0n3697 Human is a species not race. The singer is a black guy. Nothing racist about it, that's his skin color.

  • @j0nj0n3697 i still didnt think it was a black dude singing. just saying

  • Comment removed

  • thankx for the advice MadBitchMan yeah my spellings terrible ???????

  • he sounds white to me its s song now just cause one man trippin off af the color of his skin is getting into raceism when its just a bunch of guys haveing fun in a band. its about enjoying yourself and not worrying about stupid things like oh im black ??????? why am i black ?? or why am i white??? gee wiss i guess we cant enjoy ourselves cause weez different !!! lol

  • @gothicloveful Learn to spell if you want your opinions to be listened to.

  • So freakin 90's :D

  • that bitch is tough.

  • This song is shit and the fact that it's named for DiCraprio makes is raw sewage.

  • @reivenlocke hey u no wat u can take ur little tiny ass somewhere else where u can tell the whole world bout ur self and ur fuckin commet u just made ass hole

  • @sweetchinagirl90

    Did you graduate 3rd grade yet, little girl?

  • More to the point, what did everyone think Tyson Beckford looked like? Seriously.

  • Wow im going to show this to my friends. make em listen to the song and then watch the video they will be surprised.

  • This song is so fun. I love it.

  • SHE CARES ABOUT YOUR CAR FOR SURE...

  • Hey, 0016danielle, then why have whites continually and constantly copied African-American music genre. Remember, rapper Vanilla Ice, Swing bands, Jazz. gospel etc. Few whites can sing at all. They have no natural rhythm or timing. Yet, they can parrots others, like a robot.

    In West African countries like Ghana, they had intruments as far back as the 8th century. The Moors of Spain, had musical instruments to entertain themselves. European music and instruments came via the church.

  • @polandgi why is it okay to be racist to the 'whites'? because thats what you your doing here.

  • Funny, the origins of Rock and Roll, is found in African-American blues and gospel. The phrase Rock n Roll, was coin in the 50's by a Baltimore DJ. because people like Chuck Berry, would rock back and forth with the guitar in hand.

    Sam Philips of Sun Records, introduced the genre to Elvis Presley, who listen much to black gospel music, and incorporated it in his movement and singing. As well, The Beatles can tell you, who African American artists they listened and learned from.

  • the guys black.... no suprise to me. Great song though. I could keep this on repeat all day

  • @Reesescup7up its not to big of a surprise cause when the verses are sung he sounds kinda black. but he is good so who cares?

  • whoa whoa whoa he's black!!! lol no i wasnt really surprised..

  • oh,man i remember when they played these kinda songs on radio.........miss this kinda times.

  • oh my....i wouldve never guessed the singer was black...seriously...i thought this was a fan made video or something but no its the actual video

  • i have only just heard this song a couple a days ago and i love them even tho there old feking love this song XD <3 

  • This is the gayest song ever recorded. WORST SONG EVER WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • the one hit wonder that i have been looking for forever!!

  • @LARUCUS Woh woh woh woh. Oh no man! Thatz no ONE hit wonder, cause on the list there are other gem songs from 'em ; "Standing at the edge of the earth" for example or even the huge hit "I Believe" ..

  • @LARUCUS yeah ive been searching for this song like forever! said to myself " what song that has robert redford on the lyrics! a"

    lawl!

  • Hey Folks: I will argue with anyone that this is one of the most care free songs of all time. The song sounds fresh and fun and although it was made 11 years ago this songs makes me feel like living again. Music is missing this type of fun and energy and its just great to see the video and listen to the song over and over.

  • God this song takes me back to my middle school days. Hahaha...makes me want to go pull out my Sister Hazel, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Third Eye Blind CDs now xD

  • @MissyMoshpit I have them all on my iPod! I was young when the songs cam out but I love them to death! ^_^

  • haven't heard this song in 11 years always wondered who did it. Glad i found it.

  • He who has not been racist before, throw the first racist hater comment.

    So anyway, I love this song.

  • Thumbs up If Jory Caron bring you here!

  • from jory

  • Me Love This Song Long Time...

  • i dont know about you, but this song never gets old for me... and i'm 15. i've had it on repeat for the last 3 days straight

  • This song is an oozing sore on the eye of the american music scene. The video only proves that whatever corporate board that approved this whole project and sucked the dicks of radio station execs to have it played at all should be castrated. This is not a matter of opinion, this is a matter of intelligence. Anyone who likes this song is too fucking stupid to know any better. Its like your a retard being raped by your legal guardian. Good Grief this is utter utter shit, just down right trash.

  • @cisaacs7717 OOOOOH! Don't feed the trolls! Asshat

  • @Alton753 I'm sorry, the insult you have dialed is not in service. This song is shit, complete shit. There is not one intelligent, credible person that will say different.

  • No this song isn't that bad

  • @gatheringleaves my point stands.

  • @cisaacs7717 hey u there ass hole in a tank! y dont u take ur little perfect self and go FUCK urself i mean FUCK ur self soo bad that u bleed! and if u die GOOD FOR U FUCK OFF FUCKER did i say FUCKER in caps!

  • @sweetchinagirl90 Somebody has anger problems. Are you a mentally handicapped person who has been raped by a legal guardian? Is that what you are trying to say? It's going to be okay, there are people who can help you, there are people you can tell. If not you can just listen to this self indulgent tripe, miss everything cool, and die angry. Its your choice.

  • @cisaacs7717 yea i sure do have anger problems cuz of ur fuck off ugly bitchy face! i feel fucken offended by all this racist shit and ur on of those fucken people who i FUCKEN hate soo bad i mean FUCKEN bad u little ass hole. so i do have a problem so go and FUCK ur mom as hard as u can u little FUCKER! and nah i have a missing leg thats y i'm in a fucken wheel chair wat are u a mentally BITCH?! i'm sure u are FUCKER!

  • @sweetchinagirl90 Instead of listening to this awful music, you should read a book, learn something.....................­..................

    .

    . Or you can just waste your brain away, get fat, get dumber, and die angry.

  • What's funny is that none of us knew this guy was black...even with the Tyson Beckford line. How stupid, how could that not clue any of us in?? Lmao

  • ...

  • love this song ...lagu ni selalu dgr maser sekolah dulu dulu..

  • spent 3 hours trting to rember the name of this freaking song! it was worth it :)

  • wtf he's black?

    

  • Wow -- this song is more than 10 years old. Still sounds modern, tho!

  • best song i love blessid union souls

  • Oh my god haha. I didnt know the guy singing this was black either. Nothing racist meant or anything.

    I had the same reaction when I found out the same about Tracy Chapman and Living Colour. Haha

  • @SancLunatic Wow. I never thought Tracy was white, but I was surprised when I found out she wasn't a man, haha. BTW, I think people are being harsh when they call people racist for thinking the "Hey Leonardo" singer was white. It's really no worse than when many people, myself included, thought Rick Astley was black before seeing his videos.

  • I LOVED THIS SONG AND STILL DOSE!!! 90's can I get a HELL YEAH!?

  • @Kibaisahottie101  Walking Off the Buzz

  • What's with all the stupid comments about the color of the guy who is singing just enjoy the song and stop bitching about how he is supposed to sound like and just listen to the lyrics

  • @benjykenjy Agree. So what if he's black or white? He can sing and got the talent. So just enjoy the song.

  • @acs92003

    its just the fact that, hes talking about looking like a white guy.

  • @benjykenjy This is very important. My enjoyment of a song hinges on what race the singer is.

  • he sounds WHITE XD

  • It's actually a little strange seeing all of the "not prepared to see a black guy singing this song" comments. I heard this song a lot growing up and always pictured the singer being black. I guess I'm the odd man out here?

  • I am black and I didnt realize the guy that sings I believe sang this song until yesterday. He sounds different on both songs.

  • lol.. on the guy being black..

  • i had no clue they had another hit besides I Believe.

  • One of THE BEST SONGS EVER!! I just wish I was alive durring the 80s and 90s. The music was so much better!

  • Not many people remember this band but I do

  • 0:21 secs " not beeeeeeecuzz" he ok he great singa tho we just learned about him in middle scool

  • @0016danielle learned about him in middle school?

  • i miss 90s music so much...spin doctors, 3eb, come on!

  • This is one of the best bands of all time.

  • this song is titled after Leonardo DiCaprio? hahaha sweet. not many actors have a song named after them. cheesy song but Leo is the fucking man!!!!!

  • man wat happened to this music ! wheres that music that really had feeling ! really jus got u happy ! "two princes" spin doctors

    this song ^^^ likes me for me ) and you get what you give* new radicals * *BIG SIGH* :/

  • This was one of the Top 100 songs of the 90`s - and i think it was pretty high up on that list too. I understand why - its a great song, and a great video too.

  • he black...

    wasnt prepared.

    i love it =D

  • @bestbud11d7  lol i was thinkn the same

  • @bestbud11d7 u think BLACK people can't sing 2 just rap?!!!

  • @0016danielle no, thats not what everybody means when they are saying "OMG he is black" and so on.. do you think so? then YOU are the racist here... james brown, alicia keys, dianna ross, jannet jackson, MICHAEL JACKSON!? everybody knows that black people can sing, often even better than white... what people means with theire comments is that he does not sounds like a black singer!? he has such a white voice(if you know)

  • @Olemwrongway actually im black i would know. so mind ur own damn business!

  • @0016danielle I DONT CARE IF UR BLACK OR NOT ! HE DONT SOUNDS LIKE A REGULAR BLACK SINGER(singer NOT rapper).. JUST LOOK AT ALLE THE COMMENTS HERE!? EVERYONE AGREE WITH ME... IF U ARE GOING TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING WHITE PEOPLE SAYS AS RACISM, THEN U CAN GO AND FUCK UR OWN BLACK ASS.. DAMN, IDIOT!

  • @Olemwrongway Y dont u FUCK OFF! LEAVE ME ALONE WHILE UR AT IT, BASTARD!

  • @0016danielle YOU FUCK OFF!!! i want the last word here.. dont reply this, and go and sing like an angel or rapp or whatever u want

  • @Olemwrongway FUCK U ND FUCK UR MOM FUCK UR DAD FUCK UR FAMILY ND GO TO FUCKING HELL BASTARD!

  • @0016danielle just fuck off... fucking racist..

  • @Olemwrongway ugh!

  • @0016danielle nice.. u almoust dident say anything.. and dont need to hear more racist bullshit now.. just stay the fuck away from the replybutton, if ur dont answear il take that as a yes.. thank you

  • @Olemwrongway go eat a pile of ur mom's SHIT! fuck off!

  • @0016danielle u know what? il do that if u just shut up!!

  • this comment section and video got me choking on laughter HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! you people are so funny LOL!!!!!!!!!!

  • @bestbud11d7

    HEY little bitch how the fuck did you get "highest rated comment" when if you click on page 11 i have more than twice as many comments as you? AND you said the exact same thing i said!?!?!

  • i rememver this sone when i was a kid..i loved it back then and i still lov it as a grwn man

  • Everybodies good at everything, it don't matter what color you are. We are all human. I like this other song called "You will know" by Black Men United and I listened to the song while growing up into a man and can totally relate but I don't like when ppl label songs of bands of a certain race and feel I shouldn't be listening to it. Feel free to listen to whatever you like and don't pay any attention to ppl who say your a sellout to your race for listening to music you like. They're ignorant.

  • you retard all they mean is that the lead singers voice sounds as if he was white, nothing racist at all but you jump to conclusions that just are not true

  • Thats exactly what I'm talking about. As he was white? He sounds good. Dont let what he sounds like decide whether you like the song, just like the song because hes a good singer and its a good song.

  • i was totally not expecting this guy to be black.

    SUPRISE!

  • lol

  • @frollun2 ME TOO! holy crap i was thinking hmmmm this guy i am picturing, will look like bon jovi a little and has the hair and is white but country like sorta its hard to explain but i didnt picture him to look like this! its a good surprise though!

  • @frollun2

    Obviously you have never listened to the song "I believe" by Blessid Union of Souls.

  • @frollun2 i don't know what's the bigger surprise, the signer of blessid being black or rick astley not being black

  • @frollun2  LOL ME TOO

  • I would say that the mystical, musical realm would recommend that Amber likes me for me.

  • hey, does anyone know wat key that harmonica is in? i gotta feelin its in C but im not sure, any help would be great

    tops song btw

  • i know the lyrics say "make her laugh just like jim carrey unlike the cable guy" but is it unlike or i'm like?

  • @Awesome131 I think it's I'm like... ;)

  • no its unlike

    the cable guy was not a comedy haha

  • It's "Unlike The Cable Guy"

  • She likes me for me! Oh this was huge.

  • thats what she said

  • I have allways loved this song... but i had no idea he was black.... i totally showed this song to a black guy and he was like "MAN I DON'T LISTEN TO THE WHITE BOY MUSIC" lol... then i showed him that he was black.... go figure

  • did you then proceed to hang him?

  • Yeah- I thought so too. This vid is one of my all-time favorites!

  • Is it just me, or does that guy look a lot like Steve-O around 1:58?

  • i thought it was a joke when i saw the black guy singing, but i looked up the band on google

  • People aren;t trying to be racist saying they are shocked hes black, it's just always different, ( but really really awesome) to see black people doing rock music. This song will forever be classic 90s!!

  • @QuebecoisChick- i miss the 90s, this music has something that this century lacks

  • the guys black so what? stop being racist homophobes!

  • @wildgangstag *cheers* i concur

  • She likes me for me

    Not because I hang with Leonardo

  • 0:20

    Kind of looks like Jason Statham right?

  • i got to interview Eliot Sloan (the lead singer) last week for school and it was amazing, he is such a nice person who's also very influential :)

  • THIS SONG WAS HUGE BACK IN 1999

    SO WASNT THE VIDEO

    LET ALONE THE LYRICz

    She Likes me for me not because I look like Tyson Beckford A BLACK MODEL!

    I MEAN SHIT THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION THAT HE WAS BLACK BACK THEN

  • YEah Blink-182 are said to sing this but never sounded like them. Biggest shock is that he's black! x

  • TRUE

  • i thought this song is from blink 182. and thought that the vocals was from a whiteguy. hehe but the song is great and i love it.

  • this song defines the '90s haha..i love it

  • Is it just me? ordid anybody else not know this guy is black? lol

  • im as shocked. I thought it was sth like LFO or something.

  • yeahh same i honestly thought the lead singer was white

  • no it's not just u! i thought he was white too. when i seen this i was shocked but it's still a good song though.=)

  • i agree, i thought he was white but that doesn't take away from the quality of the song, i still love it :)
