  • King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters brought me here!

  • Everybody Knows that the movie Pump Up the Volume is a great movie!

  • This is what they dance to in hell.

  • These words pierce my brain like no other song or poem ever has. I can relate some part of my life experiences or my identity to each one of these verses. It's bleak, it's bitter, it's sad, but the fact that Leonard Cohen is out there and has expressed the same thoughts and feelings that I've lived with... well it's just nothing short of amazing.

  • There were some gorgeous-looking women around in the '60s

  • @techcafe take it easy

  • @windsorcribz - yes, you're right. i am sorry. my profane outburst only added insult to the injury already suffered upon Cohen, those wretched TV commercials assaulting our senses before the music will play.

    i visit YouTube because it's NOT Television. those new TV ads, featuring Chuck Norris and other mindless drivel... yeah, that's not gonna work for me. too old & cranky

    hey Google, whatever happened to "Dont Be Evil"?

    oh right... your mountains of moolah. Google can now afford to be greedy.

  • @windsorcribz - btw, i'll remove my previous comment. i got carried away. again, my apologies.

  • what episode is :55 from?

  • Everybody knows you've been discret but there were so many people you just had to meet without your clothes, and everybody knows. GENIOUS

  • Ducky !!!

  • anti-smoking ad

  • I first heard this song in 'Pump Up the Volume'. It's an amazing film. :D

  • I think that Cohen was a lot better at writing melodies than at making up words for them. I think that he could have benifited from having teemed up with someone else for the lyrics.

  • @JediSawyer Right...he's only a world renowned poet...he prob could use some help.

  • What a voice!

  • This should be my theme song...

  • any one KNOWS the name of the movie ?

  • @ancientbabe Exotica, by Atom Egoyan

  • Thumbs up if you first heard this song from "The Hot Spot"

  • @mac10688 is that the movie about the strip club and buddy is like obsessed with this girl :p cause that movie was weird but this song is sick

  • @mac10688 movie about the strib club :P

  • @mac10688 hahaha the movie about the strip club :P

  • @mac10688 I wish I had; I first heard it at the beginning of "Pump Up The Volume".

  • I agree. Leave the freaking politics out of this beautiful song. Love Leonard Cohen.

  • WHY ARE PEOPLE HAVING A RIDICULOUSLY RACIST ARGUMENT OVER SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG?! Just enjoy it, ffs.

  • Are people seriously arguing about the Holocaust on the comments for Leonard Cohen's song? How do you even ARGUE that? The Nazis themselves meticulously documented that shit, they wanted their supervisors to think they were doing a good job. :/

  • Even my little kids got that Cohen was a poet years ago, the best lyricist of all time.

  • I remember this song from that movie with Christian Slater. About the pirate radio station.

  • 32 don't know...

  • Everybody knows Leonard Cohen is one of the most honest Jews....ever.

  • @redcorona14 So, Eddie fisher, Gene Simmons, Bob Dylan, Albert Einstein, Woody Allen, VICTOR BORGES, ELMER BERNSTEIN, FANNY BRICE, SAM GLASS, SAM KATZMAN, AL JOLSON, GEORGE JESSEL, MICHAEL WOLFF, PAULA ABDUL, MOE ASCH, BARRY MANILOW, CASS ELLIOT, OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN, JASCHA HEIFTEZ, JUDY HOLLIDAY, DAVID LEE ROTH, ADAM SANDLER, EYAL LEVI, BEN WEINMAN, HERB ALPERT & ABOUT 1000 OTHERS IN MUSIC & the entertainment industry weren't honest Jews?

  • @liagarden Not really. BUT - outside of the music industry there has been Bobby Fischer, Benjamin Freedmen, and Nathanael Kapner, and all three are also honest Jews.

    Actually Bob Dylan did suggests that he had made a deal with satan, so I suppose he gets some points for that.

  • @redcorona14 There are many stereotypes of Jewish people. Some stereotypes are good and some are bad. The pervading characteristics that always seem to stand out in Jewish people are their intelligence and creativity. One measure of the success of the Jews is the fame that some members of this ethnic group have acquired in religion, finances, science, and the arts. That this might be course of jealousy and stupid racist remarks is obvious. And don't forget, even Jesus was a jew

  • @DirkjeA What you mean to say is "Never forget" even Jesus was a Jew. It's important to always use the carefully developed 'meme's' in normal discourse to drive the text home.

    Never forget is the 'meme' associated with the holocaust that actually 'never occured'. Please google "One third of the holocaust" to learn the truth about histories biggest lie.

    And never forget - Jesus was anti-semitic.

  • @DirkjeA I just want to add one other thing. Claiming that Jesus is a Jew is heretical. It dates back to the ebionites and is regarded as one of the first heresies.

    Jesus was not a Jew and anyone who claims he was cannot also claim to be a Christian.

  • @redcorona14 Everybody watching your channel knows you are just a pitiful little white supremacist or neo nazi, trash is all the same. I bet you are a little fat boy with a spotty bum, a little weenie and big ears, never got a girl, got bullied at school and craving for attention. That is why you never got passed this garbage you seem to believe in. We look upon ppl like you as pigs, and you know what is funny. To jews pigs are treife, wich means tainted and maculate. grow up and get a real life

  • @DirkjeA And anyone watching this conversation will also understand that you are a pitiful jewish supremacist happily flooding the world with your filthy propaganda in order to maintain your tenuous, and financially driven hegemony.

    Your time is coming soon. Shalom.

  • @redcorona14 My time is here already silly child you just got to get a life, than you will see the non sense you are spreading, but I promise that one day you will grow over this.Than you will be a reasonable,well thinking grown up,that don't need to try to shock ppl in vain to get some attention.Only I have no time,nor the interest in waiting for that moment, for you are too boring to give you any more attention. Now you come up with a slick reaction, like a good kiddo and lets call it the end.

  • @DirkjeA Ok, that sounds good to me. Here is my slick reaction.

    Please google "One third of the holocaust". The author of this website has created 9 hours of video which explores the evidence surrounding the holocaust. If you approach this website with an open mind you will be shocked.

    The holocaust is a fictional story designed to justify the colonization of Israel.

  • @redcorona14 Is that all you come up with?Denying the Holocaust is already stated as nazi propaganda. But facts don't disappear. Even nazi historians like Friedrich Meinecke and Theodor Schieder were clear about it. In regard to the Holocaust they contended that the basic thrust of Nazi policies towards Jews had always aimed at genocide. Maybe you should read a scientific thesis Meinecke wrote: The German Catastrophy in 1946, something you can learn from maybe?

  • @DirkjeA I take it you didnt visit the website "One Third of the Holocaust". There is no need to go on with this charade. The truth of the matter is settled. The holocaust is a lie baked up to justify the colonization of Israel.

  • @redcorona14 I already saw that so called "documentary" and knew it was clearly nazi propaganda crap. The truth of the matter isn't settled at all, but if you want to think that, be my guest. I know you did not look into the thesis of Meinecke or the essay of Schieder, so lets leave it at that, cause I understand your fear of having to read you were wrong all along. The only thing I agree on is we end this senseless discussion and leave it at that. Must be boring for everybody.

  • @DirkjeA Yeah I am sure it is boring. But you know what isnt boring? The incredible analysis at the website "One Third of the Holocaust" it is truly mesmerizing to understand how something so inflated can be such a giagantic lie.

  • @redcorona14 What is even more boring is the fear of neo nazi's to read scientific research that would make their world tremble and shake.Also boring is the fact they keep repeating themselves.The indoctrination has worked out fine and clearly you can't think for yourself. You are so afraid you don't even react to the fact that this research exist. Have a nice life, I am realy done with someone that obviously has a one track mind. One more thing, denial of the holocaust is a crime in Germany.

  • Timeless.

  • Concrete Blonde does a good cover of this song.

  • Bravo Leonard! 

  • Everybody Knows that we are too lucky to have Mr.Cohen.

  • reminds me of "puttin' on the ritz."

  • I LOVE the man from U.N.C.L.E. - & of course everyone loves Leonard Cohen. What a great idea for a video. Thanks for sharing!!!!

  • Everybody knows Leonard Cohen is a genius 

  • @muffweazel Hell Yes!Everybody Knows !

  • Leonard Cohen is on kool Jew! I fricken love this guy! Watch Out Alex Jones, the truth is VIRAL V IRA EL

  • @JustSomeGuy741 What the fuck?

  • @ArchdukeJames sorry, i meant ONE kool Jew!

  • @JustSomeGuy741 Alex Jones seems to be one of the only ones who is speaking the truth! I saw him as a conspiracy theorists when I first heard of him but now, seems like he is the one in the know!

  • @bmanhcb750 I like Alex I really do..but i find he holds back a little...he knows something and he isn't saying what it is...no matter, the truth will not be stifled by money endeavors. PEACE

    ~Outward Change Begins Within~

  • Everybody knows the truth!! 

  • Everybody knows the dice are loaded and the good guys lose ...and when a president (JFK) tries to support the little guys, he gets killed (JFK) or threatened (FDR).

  • I think the background should be things like the assassination of JFK and then the cover up, showing the Mafia, CIA, Sturgis, et a., and LBJ all doing dirty. Remember ... "everybody knows the captain lied" and then show LBJ addressing the nation.

  • 32 people Dont know!

  • This sounds like some deliciously dastard song for a supervillian. Evil has never sounded so seductive

  • thumbs up for pump up the volume!!!!

  • Poor old black joe still pickin cotton ;-;

  • Leonard Nimoy in a Leonard Cohen video...brilliant!

  • @BecauseIgothigh143 He he he. "Ass clown fuck face". He he he. "Ass clown fuck face". He he he. "Ass clown fuck face". He he he.

  • @BecauseIgothigh143 Fuck yourself assclown call p diddy, and save your receipts sell out leonard cohen is timeless.

  • Klink and Spock together????  Classic!

  • Everybody knows it's best to formulate a murder group without too many hoes and to develop to the point where everybody who does go hoe does so willingly and it shows (so far as discretion allow).

  • It's so beautifully creepy!!

  • Leonard Nemoy at 0:40

  • 31 people dont know the war is over

  • Timeless. Relevant. Always echoing in my mind.

  • people say he is depressing i say a joy to all who hear him wonderful

  • ESta canción es fabulosa!

  • what is it we know tho?

  • given the news events of the past week, an alternate video to this track could feature news clips from Murdoch's dramatic fall from grace and favour... I do love the Nan from Uncle vid tho! (-:

  • @JuNoManc 'Man from Uncle', I meant!

  • 31 people don't know.

  • yeah George Sanders

  • Good stuff! 

  • wow that is a young leonard nimoy

  • 30 people don't share my musical taste..

  • He says 'everybody knows' for 43 times. xD

  • @manegepaard Everybody knows.

  • cohen uses brilliant musicians. is it a mandolin that's so underplayed?

  • EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS SONG ROCKS.

  • 29 people didn't know

  • 29 people's significant others must have had a few too many people they had to meet without their clothes.

    And everybody knows.

  • the guy who walks in at 00:36 looks like a cross between Lee Marvin and Anthony Perkins, whom of which was neither, but a striking resemblance none the less :)

  • @berner He could look like Spock too. LOL. I love this song. Leo rules!

  • @berner the guy who walks in is Leonard Nimoy ;P

  • @BluCarGuy thats who i thought it was too... =P

  • christian history before jewish.

  • brilliant, was music off the times, was going to see him live but the ticket price was 190£! think i will stick with you tube

  • do you think descarte was a cult. i know only that i am and i know not how. lmfao.

  • in times of peice silver and in times of war gold. I went to the gates of paradise and walked straight through.

  • mephisto, if you know your history, wrote in blood. So burn all the books.

  • @TheBlindPig1 lol...i've started burning Qurans under your instruction to burn books, "because Mephisto wrote in it." i blame you on the current state of the world. scapegoating others for my actions is just how i roll. we have that in common don't we buddy ??

  • @TheDouchesupreme Go write yourself a book, write it in blood and feaces, praise the inverted cross. Am i speaking to an ordinary soul trying to relate. Spirit and flesh, mine is corrupted. Would i, if i could, stand on the top of mount sinon and decry human folly. they teach you nothing about you in school. only how best to serve. I got a felling i cant put in to words, it goes like this but stops like that.

  • so high... this is amazing...

    everybody knows....

  • Great track. Check out a Leonard Cohen Classic on my channel! :)

  • Awesome musical genius

  • The birth of israel is the death of humanity.

  • @TheBlindPig1 lol

  • @TheBlindPig1 You should get your history from more than one source, instead of eating up anti-Jew propoganda because it matches your existing bias.

  • @TheBlindPig1 thats a bit extreme, i dont know if you can call an oppressive state the end of humanity, but then again its these extremes that keep the conflict going, so i guess maybe its more fair to say extremes are the end of humanity

  • @TheBlindPig1 thats a bit extreme, i dont know if you can call an oppressive state the end of humanity, but then again its these extremes that keep the conflict going, so i guess maybe its more fair to say that extremes are the end of humanity

  • I'm here cause I don't know- but Leonard Cohen is so smooth he makes me think he does,

  • I'm here because they used this song in "The King of Kong: a Fistful of Quarters". Such a great film. Anyone else?

  • Everybody knows those 28 people have no taste in music

  • @Medialoungereview same here, I love this movie for so many reasons, but mainly because it was in 1990 when I was teenager myself.

  • Funny you should say that because I use this song as my intro on my radio show because of that movie lmao

  • i like this song since i'm 7 years old!

  • @Medialoungereview me too! awesome song and awesome movie

  • pump up the volume sucks. leonoard cohen is badass

  • @Medialoungereview Absolutely! I have just put that film on my list of favourite films on IMDB :)

  • nice arabic beat ,

    evrybody knows palestina not israelian.

    evrybody knows jerusalem palestinain.

    evrybody knows falafel palestinain food not israelian,

    evrybody knowa leonardo cohen a good singer.

  • @sweetcoffe1 falafel palestinian (?); tiramisu, italian: horizo - espania; what about canadians? bg

  • I remember when this song came out, it was annoying then and still annoying now.

  • @muffweazel everybody knows you're right

  • The first time I heard this track was in an otherwise unremarkable film (IMO) called "Exotica." I immediately went out and bought the album -- the first Leonard Cohen album I'd bought in years. Thank you for posting this.

  • @snicky58

    I think it would have been good on the soundtrack of that movie "Eastern Promises" about Russian gangsters in London. The song seems so Russian. Must be the mandolin playing and the gloomy tone.

  • THIS IS AMAZING... this describes LIFE in ALL IT'S WAYS...
