Jack Conte - Operation

[scotter140]

how come this song is not on jack's channel or on itunes? one of his best but very different from his other stuff.

[scotter140]

nice incubus impression, jack!

[HorribleSonofa]

Jack, you don't mind if my comment implied that you might be a lunatic/kidnapper/murderer do you? It didn't start out that way, but I accidentally let my imagination turn it into a tiny fiction piece. And it's fun to imagine you as a murderer because you are terrifically unthreatening.

[HorribleSonofa]

...but once she saw the video and heard his maniacal joker laugh at the end, she began to question the wisdom of spending time alone with him. Maybe his manic glee was a partial expression of a genuine psychosis.

"But he's harmless," she told herself. "He's just having fun."

And ten days after they had both gone missing, Jack reappeared, ukulele in hand. Standing alone by the cabana bar, he was watching a young brunette splashing in the waves.

He wondered if she might enjoy a song.

[spinasweetness]

natalie HAS to be pissed that this video has almost 90k views...

[NeutralNewt]

@spinasweetness THEIR videos have millions of views. I'd think she could live with that. :P

[spinasweetness]

@NeutralNewt fair point..

[himl994]

This is the 8th time I listen to this song today, it's just too damn good!!

[eziofilie]

You're special, we love you

[JackEvansMusic]

You can REALLY hear the Incubus influence on this song (love it)!

[FlopsyDiggins]

Very Beatles-esque:)

[TheMinutman]

Great song and video!!!

[TheMinutman]

Great song and video!!! Thanks Jack for keeping me coming back for more.

[XdefinitecodeX]

very entertaining!

[typewritermusic]

I WANNA DO IT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

[xuank]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[ThePantsish]

haha jack, ur so cute

[hinataandnaruto4evr]

Santa Cruz!! I was just there!

[cursiver]

i see a bud light commercial in your future

[Emirichan317]

I like him better with Natalie ^w^

[NickolaiVolkov]

So, ummmmm, Jack? Remember that one time with the album "Get Happy" wasn't on your website and I can't find it on iTunes?? Where can we fans purchase this amazing tune?

[daddyb1100]

The girl in this video is the replacement for the girl that left him in the "Yeah Yeah YEah" video lol

[Elliohow]

Where can I buy this? This is beauty incarnate. It's so different to his other stuff but I LOVE it.

[OohCullen]

I feel like I'm high on crack when I watch this. My mind is going "AAAAHH!!!" the entire time.

[Alun53]

For a minute I thought he was in Brighton........

[barcoded2]

for a second i thought he was in Santa Cruz <3 <3 <3

[Codguy77]

Fave Conte song BY FAR.

[monkeys55]

tsk tsk what would nataly say if she saw this...

[goschhonor]

I swear, Santa Monica is where all of the Musical Geniuses are.

[himl994]

@goschhonor

He's from San Francisco I think.

[hblueshell]

How about doing Mission Impossible?!

[personNumber0123]

13 People didn't want to "Do it in the White House".

[DudeIsOnFire1]

@personNumber0123

Don't be that guy.

[personNumber0123]

@DudeIsOnFire1 What exactly do you mean?

[Alphawolfeone]

If TV didn't suck Jack Conte would be NBC

[HectorVector85]

Wow!!! she´s so hoooot!

[bannergreen17]

Santa Monica Pier :)

[peninsulaauctions18]

LOL Reminds me a bit of David Byrne, but totally cool either way. Very creative and great tune. Love it!!

[EarloftheMillenium]

I love the beginning censorship in this video

[NarutoMaster016]

you should tab your songs (y)

[tsns1]

Said- Jack's such an Introvert now that he's made it.

[Water93Phoenix]

Nice~

[Water93Phoenix]

Pumped UP!! XD

[8wanda123]

Haha "I wanna do it in the white house"

[lalajiji3]

Damn... all of your work it's inspirational.

[MarkyMillion]

Man, that is one hell of a song !

And an awesome video too! I like them 360° shots.

You rock dude :).

[johnnytastetest]

Cool video.

[insanityisme]

How is Jack not really freakin famous? I mean, considering he's got more talent in his beard than Kesha has in her whole body.

[bodysnatchers324]

@insanityisme well he's getting bigger and bigger, he was on the cover of rolling stone's magazine at one point if i'm not mistaken

[musicalman1995]

@insanityisme coz he doesnt have a label.

[AccidentalLyrics]

@insanityisme Maybe this is the way it should be. Napster tried to setup this, but the rage against the machine misused it. Maybe instead of having a few really famous people, we could have thousands of immensely talented artists with a way to reach their audience by attraction instead of promotion. So instead of being really rich, Jack and Nataly and all those like them could make a decent living doing what they love, and the Keshas will eventually stop being created.

[BestiesBug]

@insanityisme Yesss. Somebody agrees with me!!

[terroristpedophile]

@insanityisme pop culture can't handle true talent. Jack doesn't sell out (Hyundai not included.)

[mlcelorio]

"I want to do it in the white house!"

[spinasweetness]

there's no mp3 to found of this song!!!!!!!!!!!

[NickolaiVolkov]

@spinasweetness I don't know whether to thumbs-up this to agree that there needs to be one or thumbs-down it because it's SADDENING!!! :'(

[xvolereepoterex]

Love this. Love Love Love this.

[DonnyNoir]

sounds like ok go

[15000volts]

this song is so god damn fun. i wish he did some more like these these days

[donseagrave]

wow

[TheOneSinging]

Great fun song and video. Terrible English accent, but I think we can move on =P

[butterbugs1234]

haha i know they hadn't met yet buts its funny that its another girl and not nataly :P

[singstaryo]

OH my goshhhhh,

Jack is adorable. :D <3333

[esprite101]

This song is so radio frendly

[YasoKuuhlNo1]

0:00 - 3:13 AMAZING

[Evilhamster95]

You can see why Jack doesn't even sell his old music anymore.

He's really changed his musical style.

[whereamigoingnow]

@Evilhamster95 this song is nothing to be ashamed about!good song,cooks.

[EvilAngel1324]

rofl the beginning is hilarious! "she has a very nice pair ot- shoes!"

[BARBARICDRAGON]

awesome

[metallica666ist]

thais song asome

[sassiprincess927]

I wonder how many shots were taken for this video. Anyone know?

[homemdesaia]

jack, ok... forget the whales... but save the uke!

[stifledbabsie]

@homemdesaia Ha! I'm in love with ukuleles and was so excited to see him strumming on one in the beginning and then I was so mad when he threw it into the water.

[elebunny45]

Did Nataly approve of this woman?

[FoxTot]

Cheeese it's terrible to have that song stuck in the head! XD It's so cool!!

[remsonfish]

This was filmed in Santa cruz, huh? woot!

[NamAim1991]

Is that a tenor guitar?

[NardDog1]

This is an awesome song. And the chorus sorta reminds me of Incubus in a weird way. But it is still one of my favorites from you.

[kirikirimaix]

Why are you so adorable??

[ratbutcher]

Is that a tenor uke!? why would he try to get rid of it like that!? I am having such of a bitch of a time to get my hands on one!

[ratbutcher]

Oh my gosh, this is like the most amazing thing I have seen

[FurElise47]

I WANNA DO IT IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

[BadChizzle]

Plooperziggly pumpermost, Jack

[marlesimms]

I WANNA DO IT IN THE WHITE HOUSE

[jayfiz]

Anybody else sense a Brandon Boyd-esque quality to his voice on this song?

[potofgravy]

@jayfiz Hahaha.. only a tad. :P

[WeThePeopleRleaders]

I WANT TO DO IT IN THE WHITE HOUSE-lol i love it

[Pixnlix]

*gasp* what would nataly think?!

haha jk!

[WeThePeopleRleaders]

hes so cute :P

[SenorJoeyJellyBean]

it kinda made me mad when he threw the guitar in the ocean xD

but its still an awesome song ^^

[FurElise47]

I think as a performer you wouldn't wanna have someone you're actually dating in a vid like this...because then it would just hurt too much to have to go back and watch it if anything ever happened between the two of you.

[FurElise47]

i wanna do it in the white house!

hahahaha :D

[GenesisArcade]

nice uke :)

[madasrabbits06]

i wanna do it in the white house?

whaat? lol i love this :D

[sSereth]

This song is so... weird? :)

[SolasidoBR]

"i wanna do it in the white house!!" lmao

[dude12494]

jack needs a new music nideo not just a nideosong but like video like this and yeah yeah yeah for 2010

[JmePhotography]

i wanna be the love intrest in your video! lucky...

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Very cool! Reminds me of TMBG!

[AleksHyper]

Dancing all around yeah !!!!!!!

[AleksHyper]

and this one too, soo freakin good !

greetings from Serbia !

[MarioTime64]

Oh I say she's got a nice pair of, shoes

lol

[soziflip]

ehm..

AWESOME!

[MrRefridgeration]

wow! - very "Spin Doctors"

[stephaniethekid]

is this song on itunes?

pleaaasseee tell me it is!

[novelista14]

@stephaniethekid i can't ever find it :/

[koneki6787]

Lolz.He Throwing Guitar then go find GF.Give me that guitar lolz XD

[miwaro12]

i love ya jack but this song is too commercial for you and poppy...plus natalie is a lot better than the blonde

[harvmiester1]

I love it, his voice suits it :P

[thanksmanitsreptar01]

Maybe he wanted to write a poppy song? Nothing wrong with that. Artistic freedom includes being poppy, you know.

[TheDorianGrayShow]

i wonder if the reason he doesn't have this song on his channel or on itunes is because of a messy break up that he had with the girl, or because natalie asked him not to put it... makes you wonder

[ShyKai]

Nataly*

:]

[sputnikowns]

Probably neither. He had some random girl in "Yeah Yeah Yeah", so it's unlikely.

[ReliableInsider]

This was before he started doing collabs with Nataly.

Their first collab was in June 2008. :)

[TheDorianGrayShow]

yea, but what i meant was that she saw it and didn't like it (doesn't mean that they were together when he made it)

[ruferdrag95]

this is awesum!!!! i luv this Good job!

[thejackdempsie]

Where can I get this album? I've checked his websites but can't find anything about it.

[novelista14]

@thejackdempsie I've had the same problem. I love this song and can't find it anywhere

[skaterblo]

I love the thumbnail for this video.

[Pixnlix]

I wanna do it in the white house!!!!

[imisscallie]

I can't find his album anywhere!

It's driving me mad!

[IndieBowtie]

great video

[lugator]

And Nataly? Jack!!!!!!!!!

[unassumingcactus]

it's dated 2005...

[joshyboy152]

ohh what a waste of a guitar..

[HebaHC]

different, but GREAT

[0justBETHANY]

i LOVE it! :D

[odiolagrammatica]

stop motion rule!!

[webtilda]

love the song and the video is really good! go jack ;)

[AnitaCal]

haha I wanna do it in the white house!

[susanss]

yea this is so different to Jack's online stuf ... and where's Nataly?

[kaikarden]

Jack Hadn't met Nataly yet. Jack and Nataly's first collaboration was in june of 2008, and Jack hadn't even met Nataly until April or May.

[lBoyan]

this video is so cool !!! Stop Motion Rules

[whiteknives]

This...is...amazing!!!-kyla

[madnezz13]

LOLOLOL I wanna do it in the white house!! 2:21

[boogie504]

im not good at this sort of thing, He is himself, playing his guitar(his style), she falls for him and his style, he gives her the guitar(trying to make her be something shes not, and he changes style) so it doesnt work out, he says fuck it grabs his guitar(reverts to his original style) and offers himself to her and she accepts and they do it in the whitehouse,lol??

[humannuance]

I'm pretty sure I heard "I want to do it in the White House."

[kaylasturner]

This song is stuck in my head and can't get it out!

[OddlyAppropriate]

how are you so brilliant.

outstanding.

[iamthemovie2]

Whoa, hey. How come I can't find this album? Jack Conte's myspace only shows Videosongs Volume 1, Nightmares and DayDreams and Sleep in Colors EP.

Where's this one?  I want to know the rest of the album's songs.

[to3jamm]

Sadly, he didn't like this album. I only know this from reading comments from related videos. It's depressing really ;/ This song is really catchy! I wouldn't be surprised if the other songs weren't as great.

[BLByline]

very well written song. Unfortunately your other stuff suits you better vocally.

[Twyster]

holy shit that's amazing !

[Maniacjelly]

Great Music.

Sweet Video.

10/10

[PrivateBuckwheat]

"I wanna do it in the white house!" What's up with that four stringed acoustic guitar?

[PrivateBuckwheat]

Nevermind lol, I guess it's just a ukulele.

[ganglydude42]

haha, i love the freeze-frame effects

[lukeyboy5]

So cool!

[HaightAshburyD]

i love jack, i love his music and i love this song especially, but there is something about his smile. It's just kinda creepy. oh well, we all got something creepy about us.

[marterosso6]

It's great!!! beautiful song..

[naterudolph]

That was incredible.

[7Underwood7]

Okay, you superstitious douche bag. We don't need your fucking shit.

FUCK.

[GermanPornMaster]

That video is hilarious. I thought I got tired of bullet-time effects, but these ones are awesome! :D

[7Underwood7]

if he came out with this in like 1998 he would be famous.

[GamerConor]

nothing compared to his present stuff!!

[wolffenhaus]

if jack conte kissed me i would die

[porky1985]

The shot at 0:34 is awesome

[Flashmaster88]

Holy crap, that video is incredible. INCREDIBLE. I loved every bit of it.

[AshleyDBird]

So so good. I can't get enough of your music. Started with listening to Pomplamoose but you are an equally amazing artist all by yourself. Really great.

[topfrog84]

I love this video!! So perfect!

[whereamigoingnow]

Indescribable talent,I always feel he plays music the way it should be,energy,passion,exciting,etc­.

[MrProgrock]

He is a truly awesome artist

[endr117]

this really reminds me of dispatch.

[MOPSgal]

Jack is so cute.

[nulu08]

2:22 hillarious

[kaiguy0609]

notice how Jack usually casts his videos very well.  cute ladies.

[SeveredHeadsUnite]

Hey, Cody Weber got me onto Jack Conte..

lmao.

I love this song!!!

[awesomeguy45]

this made me smile really widely :D

[animalihavebecomeII]

he has perfect teeth o.o

i want his perfect mouth o.0

aanyway

i LOVE JC music

so addivting(sp) e.e

[noahMadden]

could you put this one on itunes?

[TYL3Rdurden]

I love this . . . and pretty much everything Jack does. But don't you think that Nataly is really the Yin to Jack's Yang? His music rocks but her vocals are mesmerizing. When the two great tastes are together, they're unstoppable.

[ceark]

I wanna DO IT IN THE WHITE HOUSE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

oh god I laughed so hard.

[retrolovebomb]

Very relative sounding to Ok Go.

[lykeohmahgah]

I typed up the lyrics. If anyone wants them just message me ;)

[npoc]

lyric me please

[lykeohmahgah]

i cant message you cause you have a friend only block!

[tomandii]

Do anybody has lyrics?
