Rich Aucoin - It

[davidfuchs]

Can someone tell me what the film at 3:11 is?

[Poditte]

@davidfuchs haha. that's A Night at the Roxbury.

[Qwaz331]

Ok One of my all time favourite songs! But I can't find the lyrics online at all! :/

[cressyjunior25]

This is probably the smartest music video I've ever seen.

[SavannahDarlink]

Picnicface.

[Ultraradicals]

this video is genius.

[yourtuber111]

well, I saw them live twice, and they're always the highlight of the jazz and blues festival :3

[MegaLovegaga]

makes me feel free

[marykeith47]

Was that a Joel Plaskett zombie?

[CONDOR175]

Arcade Fire, Rich Aucoin. Who cares? Two very talented, Canadian artists!

[iheartmybeard]

it has a youped sort of essence

[acificap]

Rich Aucoin is waaaaay better than Arcade Fire. Yeah, I like that an indie band won a grammy, but c'mon, Arcide Fire is honestly nothing special. They are so formulaic and repetitive. This video is just outrageously awesome though.

[liaiscool333]

@acificap lol don't let the hipsters hear you say that about Arcade fire!

[MusicMan6966]

Great song, awesome video!!!

[Hustlerae]

such a good music video!

[LindseyisCanadian]

this makes me proud to be Canadian

[Facehead090]

@LindseyisCanadian kinda makes me wish i was Canadian..

[chris3992]

where can i find lyrics to this song?

[PurdyMusic]

one of the best music vids ever i think

hey check out my acoustic music if ya want I m also canadian thanks :)

[mrbluejays9293]

THUMBS UP FOR DIE HARD

[leeperry2009]

Blatant rip-off of The Arcade Fire-sound. Even the video recycles others' ideas in a half-assed fashion.

[sillysentimentalist]

@leeperry2009 If you perhaps based your judgment on more than one song you'd realize that Rich Aucoin is not ripping off Arcade Fire at all. See songs like "Brian Wilson is A.L.i.V.E" and "Push" for examples.

[sarahhorns2011]

yay for Halifax

[PurdyMusic]

one of the best videos ever I think

check out my music I you want ! imn canadian as well!

[filmgoat66]

Top Gun, Dawn of the Dead, It's a wonderful Life, Die hard, Ghost Busters and Forest Gump

[filmgoat66]

@filmgoat66 And Princess Bride

[TicoMachi]

@filmgoat66 And Night At The Roxbury

[daisies234]

@filmgoat66 and ET

[trainman58]

Top gun)( e.t )(princes bride)( it's a wonderful life )(die hard)( ghost busters)( forest gump and I think that's all of them

[daisies234]

@trainman58 and ET

[NatassjaSss]

OMG. i saw him open for lights back in november and he is amazingggg live. i never knew his name until this past week

[FeatheredIris]

Forrest Gump <3



[WingedGreenBean]

Can someone explain all the references to me? I got top gun and e.t. Thats about it

[sillysentimentalist]

9 people are leaving it all in their heads.

[1h05]

What a bad copy of "Persuit" by Stuck In The Sound. Even the song isn't as good as Persuit.

[Silvaggi4]

@1h05 Just saw the "Persuit" video. What an overblown, overproduced and bombastic spectacle. Song had no dynamic range and lead singer's face was hard to watch. This has so much more heart and soul!

[torsenstarrow]

This is the greatest video of all the time. This dude rules. Such a nice guy.

[WingedGreenBean]

Sorry to say but he's growing his pubes in the wrong place

[BippityBooful]

I can now say I've watched this before 60,000 views

[gasmath]

@BippityBooful that's a lot. not too much to be proud of here

[trainman58]

Die hard rules never dis it

[camh19]

Much music top 100 brought me here :P

[mikevolta20]

so cool great video

[LindseyisCanadian]

if i was famous and i could sing i would so do a video like this :D

[fritzalicious]

So sexy.

[randomperson31]

It's Cheryl!

[unJames]

Saw this guy live. So energetic. I think I have a raw recording somewhere on my external!

[LindseyisCanadian]

it was so hard to find this video! thank god i found it though :D

[marianastrenchmoxsey]

I blew him off at a coffee shop last month. I'm so sorry because I absolutely love him and his music, never realized that I'd blown him off until afterwards. :s S'all, good, I love this <3

[cartoonstarts]

OMG i saw Rich at the LIGHTS concert! he was amazing! it was sad that his video wasnt working and he had to cut out 1 song(i think). but he was still awesome!

[chuckuckuck]

there are literally no lyrics for this anywhere on the internet

[LazyGuitarMatt]

The internet just exploded...

[jozermander]

You need to see this guy in concert. He is amazing!

[TheHOISIN]

@smokinf150 ...except for the part with the gun taped to his back. That is definitely Die Hard. whoops. but the rest of the shirtlessness is Taxi Driver haha

[fmjiceman]

looks like a zig zag floating around at the first

[nelsondominique124]

does anyone know what movie they're referencing in the car scene??

[poindextertunes]

@nelsondominique124 The movie they reference in the car is "A Night at the Roxbury". Is the clip at 3:25 supposed to be "Die Hard"? I'm having trouble with that one. Great concept for a music video!

[smokinf150]

@poindextertunes movies referenced, Forest Gump, Ghost busters, Cobra, Top gun E.T. Its a wonderful life. The Princess Bride, Night of the living dead (the original), Night at the Roxbury, Die hard

[trainman58]

Yay for it's a wonderful life my fav movie to watch on Christmas

[iamtheanna1]

@shunnydunn so what? Music is art. Art is constantly growing because the artists are inspired by previous artists and sampling to expand art. And hell, Arcade fire are fellow canadians of this guy. So chill

[djcrenshaw35]

Song Blows eight peckers and tries to cram a ninth one in, but the nastalgia is amazing. thumbs up

[EricChavezMVP]

i dunno why everyone's sayin this is an Arcade Fire rip-off,the sound isnt that similar,but regardless hats off to a fantastic music video

[4chanhatesyoutodeath]

@EricChavezMVP i agree even if it sound similar doesnt most of todays music anyway?

[woagas]

Pubic haircut.

[shunnydunn]

wow i think this is the biggest rip off of arcade fire i have ever heard...wow

[SurlyGurls]

@shunnydunn

We really liked the video for all the movie references, but holy hell!! It's the Arcade Fire the whole damn place!!

[mydopetracks]

Great song, and nobody has mentioned the scene from Die Hard, fuckin classic!

[fabhlc]

Rich opened for Lights! His concert experience is so interactive! He brought out a parachute! A MOTHERFUCKING PARACHUTE.

[Shaxspear]

Zombie one is the original Night of the Living Dead

[jpo211]

sounds a LOT like Arcade Fire. I love it

[timv1234]

what is the name of the zombie movie?

[ZoeSquared21]

Which movies are referenced here? I got Ghostbusters, It's a Wonderful Life, Taxi Driver, Forest Gump, ET, and Princess Bride? And I totally know the one with the zombies, but I can't recall the name.

[machinegunMELL]

@ZoeSquared21 Can't forget Night at the Roxbury :)

[lizzygreenwood1]

Wooo yeah Acadia U!

[kome]

 That was AWESOME!!!

[ataner05]

I need lyrics of this song :(

[nubbs]

[Joshey13]

Police escort? nice :P

[Facehead090]

@1:28 .... girl from picnicface? also, i found this on accident because i thought it was a picnicface video, because i saw her face in the preview picture. I love this band now... just sayin.

[KirksMerkin]

Thumbs Up if picnicface brought u here!

[ThievingBandit]

@KirksMerkin It didn't. But Picnicface is awesome!

[dantemattgian]

@KirksMerkin picnicface is awsome <3

[yupalright13]

@KirksMerkin who cares.

[KirksMerkin]

@yupalright13 - everyone who gave me a thumbs up? . . . which seems like a lot.

[scottlandsman]

I love how this video has all the typical awesome classics in it PLUS night at the roxbury randomly :D

[shelbatr0n]

[jmacman12]

[jpo211]

[FrostedMilk]

[FrostedMilk]

Great video and song, glad i stumbled upon this last night on much.

[deafturtle19]

It was taken in Wolfville. I see my mommy on video, congrats! Wilma

[AwesomeLittleMovies]

does anybody know where this video was shot?

[deafturtle19]

@AwesomeLittleMovies Wolfville, nova Scotia

[loganhudak]

awesome video Rich!

[Masidero]

Why was money from Canadian taxpayers used to renact American Hollywood films that everyone has already seen a thousand times and then slap the Canadian Culture label on it?

[kimmiec67]

night at the roxbary ftw!! XD

[gothichyppie]

It's pretty random but still, how can I not enjoy this?

[EricMeerstra]

Guess the videos? ok i got all these on my own before i looked it up

1) Forest Gump 2) Ghostbusters 3) Top Gun 4) ET 5)It's A Wonderful Life 6) Princess Bride 7) Night of the living dead( i guessed right)

I looked up the rest but these are the ones i got. I wont post the others videos so somebody can sound all intelligent and figure it out. :)

[EricMeerstra]

This song is so kickass... got me through studying for two exams! I love it!

[theghostorchid]

this song/video is the only thing keeping me sane during my exam/essay clusterfuck.

[somecanuk]

Easily the most interactive and energetic show I've ever experienced. These guy's have it figured out!

[fa11d0wng0b00m]

Song gives me chills. Well done.

[bakerjam]

Dope! I discovered Rich's show by fluke this past summer while in Whistler. Glad to see he's finally getting some fan recognition.

[yveedrips]

Anyone wanna try guess all the movies?

[d3xt3rgangstar]

I saw him live... he did AN AMAZING SHOW. It was an amazing show at Sweat Records in Miami. He interacted with the crowd and we had an awesome light show.

[freylerty]

and now we can all tell our friends "I saw this before it got millions of views."

[EricMeerstra]

@freylerty

I can tell my friends, "I am why this got millions of views".

Seriously i must be at like 100 by now cause its in my small playlist that plays all the time. :)

[CeasertheAPE]

@freylerty yah right

[tovanir]

Nostalgiawesome

[NineStepsToGumbo]

Such an amazing video-- I'm really happy to see him succeeding... don't forget the little people! I still want to be able to party with you without breaking the bank!

[Thesharklet]

Paste Magazine just picked this as one of the top videos of 2011 :)

[erecktshawn]

How can he not be sued yet?

[fa11d0wng0b00m]

@erecktshawn How can he be sued, is the better question?

[withsilentwings]

i get it..... 

[bcaper]

Great Artist! Great Song! Great Video! Well done Rich and Gang!

[torsenstarrow]

You always amaze me Rich.

[benmeenan]

Sweet drum tones.

[SookieeWookiee]

Rich Aucoin has restored my faith that great artists will always rise.

His vibe reaches to somewhere deep in your soul; and then helps that soul come outside to play.

Highly Recommended!
