Ani Difranco - Joyful Girl (remix)

[colormekinetic]

She sounds great in trip-hop, where can I get this remix?

[shannonla1]

@colormekinetic it's on the soundtrack to the movie the jackal.

[ExpansiveDream]

OMG this is the first time I've seen Ani in makeup... I'm shocked.

[gregspencewolf]

Ani is so beautiful in this video, how dare she say she is not a pretty girl

[SanFranciscoJames]

this is the first time i've seen her....i'm betting that she's the inspiration for Lady GaGa and that other crazyhaired Jazz-pop singer from England. good stuff. have to put her on my list.. great trip-hop jazz pop!!! fantastic music. i hope the lyrics are as good!!

[franco216]

Utah Phillips were are you when we need you?

[sweetttina666]

I was watching 120 minutes back in these days. I loved all the bizarre videos. This one and Devils Haircut used to wierd me out. What great memories..

[rileymayhem20]

@sweetttina666 the last generation of good music... I miss 120 Minutes

[TheAirton72]

it's Matt Pinfeild from 120 minutes doing an interview with Ani.

[deckbose]

this is a totally beautiful song and video. thank you ani, and thank you neversaynevercomm

[neversaynevercomm]

@deckbose As always, we thank the fans....

[neversaynevercomm]

As always, the "thank you" goes to Ani's fans....

[csalinas777]

The Guy speaking is "Utah Philips" which was during the time that Ani DiFranco did the DJ'n for the Utah Philips albums. It is his voice, his stories, and certainly "Utah" himself in the video.

[neversaynevercomm]

@csalinas777 Its not Utah in the video. It is his voice in the sample. As to his work with Ani - she PRODUCED several different albums and live show with Utah. Ani doesn't DJ.

[MzHibou]

In the beginning of the video there is ani and a man. Was it an interview? If so can you post that too?

[JimAdsit]

Thanks for the info on the extra....always thought it was Utah. Was it Utah on the recording?

[WMD911]

I love this song, i try to forget the "girl" part so i don't feel so queer when i listen to it though :P

[neversaynevercomm]

I produced and directed this video with Ani. She started my directorial career. This was the best video I've made and Ani is an amazing patron. I thank her everyday for the dreams she's helped come true...

[spooninspoon]

@neversaynevercomm I'm a native buffalonian, meeting her was a thrill of a lifetime. I got a question at 2:01 is that utah phillips ?

[neversaynevercomm]

No, incredibly enough, we hired a mess of senoir men from an extras casting agency and this guy showed up and was perfect....

[RuthAurora]

this is one of the few ani-works that i don't like so much - the acoustic version is better, i find

[Eisonhawk]

ummmmm the Vanessa Daou's remixes are better

[AICDK]

artful and sweet

[lovinrazzelz]

ilove thiz

[MiseryMonica]

i havent heard of Ani Difranco until just last year...my aunt was playing her music in her car and i asked who it was...she told me and ever since then ive been in love with her music...its simply beautiful...

[thecorpseofmidge]

ohh how i adore this song. it makes my heart smile!

[wwwbony]

what a tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Junkay]

heard this song more than 10 years ago and it still rocks my world

[charlottehasdeu]

I had recorded this actual version right here from 120 minutes on a casette tape. I had my tv ran through my stereo and would make mix tapes from 120 minutes and listen to them all the time. I've had alot of neat experiences with this song playing in the background. Totally love the song and video. It's neat how certain things show back up in your life! Thanks for posting this!

[GypsySixxx]

She is amazing!

[einbrettholz]

Ani is simply mindbogglingly perfect.

she hast the crazy eyes though :P

[shaxincat]

the crazy eyes are sexy! :D

[blaqueen77]

My girlfriend just turned me on to Ani and I have fell in love

[LaurenMessing]

Ani kind of scares me sometimes. She's very intense. But I do love this remix.

[eltirano28]

^-^

[fernnchannel]

first time i saw this little folkgal. knew i should watch closely and never regreted it!

[CitizenJain666]

OMG, the guy at 2:05 is Utah Phillips! Nice touch, Ani!

[wyguy3]

good eye!

[neversaynevercomm]

Its NOT Utah - it was an "extra" that looked sora like him, but Utah is much taller and his bears was much fuller....

[spooninspoon]

never the less great job on this...

[neversaynevercomm]

@CitizenJain666 Its his voice but a different man (actor) in the vid...

[bingers8]

I've been in love with Ani like... forever. I never really noticed what a nice rack she had though...

[johnnydepth76]

this was my introduction to Ani. She's a beauty

[belleama]

Why would dave matthews band be singing a song about being a joyful girl? huh?

[luluintheskies]

how about the original album version? id like to find that on youtube because i have it only on a tape which now i cant play :)

[CitizenJain666]

copy this in your search-box:

Jane Eyre 2006- Joyful Girl

original song is in this vid.

[vman33432]

dave matthews you guys are nuts. ani is the best. remember dave matthews band is just a cover band and should be still playing in a bar.

[marggiecienta]

Dave Matthews Band version way much better

[eatty]

Both versions are excellent, but I do agree with you.

[marggiecienta]

yeh this one isnt bad at all!

but as i said i like dave matthews:)

tough ani its a great singer also!

[Oddjob2796]

how can i find dave matthews version??

[Methuselas]

OMG! You are an *ABSOLUTE* Crackhead! Nothing compares to Ani and I actually *LIKE* Dave Matthew's Band!!!!!

[realjohnhammond]

she looks dumb in this video - its so 90's - she really doesn't stand out from other videos from that period - but the remix is great

[bikiniKill7]

this is my song. i love this song with all my heart.

[telewizorr]

***XL tune***

[phillylos]

whether it's ani or sinead or countless others, such artists confront basic roles of people. It is no better to accept only wispy women as victims, and thereby vulnerable and therefore genuine than it is to only expect women to shake their ass. Caging artists, and therefore people, in such victim roles is quite similar to the more traditional cages of make-up and aprons. Evil is not in the kitchen anymore than in the guitar, but rather in the objectification of anyone to be no more than that.

[baddog52]

well said

[MagicShadeMask]

This was interesting to watch, I enjoyed it.

[iloveshaneslegs]

this is a lot like the peace and love mix - but this singing is considerably better than that version. and the sampling is effective, the direction beautiful and varied. very nice.

[rosebass594]

i love this version

[moroccanlamb]

this guy needs to learn how to SHRED. RADCHRIS will show him how one day with a lesson or 2. i like his dreds tho, they ROCK. but not as hard as RADCHRIS.

[Meowts]

...this is beyond weird. I guess I don't quite get it. But I honestly wish she was holding a guitar and being more...Ani. What's with the Ani-that-is-all-mud-and-in-the­-bushes? Or those nails, dag.

[neobodhi]

I love Ani, and this is a great remix but I hope she didn't sell out to anyone.

[cribbonin]

This song is very much from 10 years ago...I doubt she sold out to anyone.

Note: It says that she was a co-director on this video. Respect the artist and her decisions, it's not for us to decide or mock her if she's making money.

I'm not the hugest Ani fan, but she looks stunning in that dress and the song is amazing.

[lunalyn]

Wow. Ani is amazing!

[dashtk]

this is a pretty cool version ;p

[ejymr]

Great remix! Love the lyrics too!

[jazzbluessinger]

What a great version of the song. Very cool.

ohhhhhhhhhhh ani!. If only i was a lesbian, and she was single, and i was her type, and she lived in calgary, and would give me the time of day, and would return my phone calls.....

[misswolfe]

I haven't heard this version before, I like it a lot!

[mizaelmorais]

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[SomrigBechamel]

I love this song (and Ani of course!).. Really nice remix as well!

[berrygroovy]

Excellent remix! Intresting way to put a swing on things. Ani is a very interesting person with a lot to say.

[FWMc]

ani in makeup?!

anyway, this video is stellar
