Bikini Kill - "Carnival"

[TehGuezt]

It's actually pretty surprising how much she sounds like she does on record.

[melfaery]

the blonde chick in the beginning in the beginning fucked kurt cobain. s

[jessismissworld]

@melfaery no, that's kathi wilcox...the drummer  - tobi vail - had a relationship with him

[MzBabyFirefly]

Her voice gives me mega shivers everytime!

[taurus1269]

A meth freak screaming into a mic is not cutting edge music...it's just noise.

[elitemathlete]

@taurus1269

Stuff it Dream Theatre fan. lol.

[jrack13]

@taurus1269 fuck you

[HusbandsnKnivesMusic]

Listen to us? :)

[klutches]

And btw DON'T diss Sid*

[klutches]

@stehphyn You're a fucking tool. Never claim to belong to any label or group let alone claim to be soooo fucking punk rock. Makes ya seem.... like some sort of desperate wannabe who wants to be in a clique in school. And btw diss Sid. Sure, maybe he was a bit of an idiot for practically throwing his life away but lay off. This band kicks ass anyway.

[stehphyn]

@klutches You're another dumbass kid, going on about high school "cliques" and whatnot. She basically called me some kind of redneck or something, and I said that I was in fact, NOT. Yes, Sid was pretty much just some dumbass. And no, this band fucking sucks. This video is proof of that.

[klutches]

@stehphyn And you're just another dumbass jock who claim to be punk and pick on the kids who "go hang out at Hot Topic". You think Bikini Kill sucks. I don't give a shit. I think you blow.

[stehphyn]

@klutches lulz, you don't even know me. okay kid, not going to argue with you. Have fun listening to this shitty band.

[acidstar5831]

@stehphyn It has nothing to do with "shitty music." There's an entire message in this band and THAT'S what we care about. You don't get it. So I don't even understand why you're in here posting.

[MenaMinou]

Her voice. Good lord. ♥

[Avrill12078]

my fave song from Bikini Kill, love love love!!!!!!!!!

[glistowata]

I can't hear anything...

[kryscatastrophe]

Wow to the immature asshole attacking at me, I didnt even post that. It was my girlfriend who uses my account. So stfu. Jesus.

[broman113]

we need some more punk rock girls who STRONGLY believe in who they are

[thisisalullaby]

they are all the anti brazilian, i think. esp. the heart shaped... they only wax poetic.

[stehphyn]

Bunch of dumb feminist girls trying to do punk, but they couldn't find a female guitarist who could actually play so they had to get some guy. True story. Crap band.

[kryscatastrophe]

@stehphyn Punk isn't hard to achieve because it's founded on the D.I.Y. lifestyle, including (example) teaching one's self to play an instrument. Also, it has so many sub-genres. One being Riot Grrl, basically invented by this band. Change your Tapout shirt, go back to playing beer pong and training for the Tool Academy, loser.

[stehphyn]

@kryscatastrophe Wow, thanks, Captain Obvious. What was the fucking point of your comment? Reads like a laughable attempt to sound smart and knowledgeable about punk.

P.S. - I have no idea what what Tapout or Tool Academy is, never played beer pong, and I most likely have more PUNK ROCK in my little toe than you have in your whole body. So fuck off and go hang out at Hot Topic with your little high school friends, you trendy little fucking twat.

[starbellygrrl]

@stehphyn sid vicious couldnt play bass any better than kathleen so does that make the sex pistols a crap band?no. since when does talent replace heart. this is punk we are talking about here. youre just hungry for attention. who else looks up bands they know they dont like and then leave nasty comments.true story.

[stehphyn]

@starbellygrrl Sid Vicious was an idiot who didn't play on Never Mind the Bollocks and most of the time during live shows, his amp wasn't even turned on. The difference is that the Sex Pistols were awesome; Bikini Kill sucked fat fucking cock. I know, I stumbled across this because I watch lots of punk videos, but I really hate this band. Just thought I'd share that.

[feindclub666]

@stehphyn Sid Vicious.......yeah, totally overrated

[curtisrunstedler]

@stehphyn I disagree. The Sex Pistols had a few hits, most notably "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the U.K.," but they could barely play their instruments and their songwriting was kinda weak. They were highly influential to the punk movement to come, of course, they were at the helm. However, Bikini Kill's "Pussy Whipped" did for me what "Never Mind the Bollocks" could not; it's a highly rewarding sound experience with strong songwriting and talented musicians.

[stehphyn]

@curtisrunstedler Are you serious? Sid Vicious was the only who couldn't play his instrument, but he didn't even play on NMTB. Steve Jones and Paul Cook were extremely tight musicians; much tighter than Bikini Kill, for sure. And if this is what you consider to be "strong songwriting," all I can do is roll my eyes at that.

[punkpoetry]

Kathleen Hanna's important feminist message has always been ironically undercut by 1) her being incredibly hot, while 2) her music being complete shit - there is not one half way decent songwriting effort to her credit. Hot, talentless girl prancing around in her knickers - very subversive, that

Her finest hour must be prancing around clad in tights in that Sonic Youth video, looking, erm, hot... at least there the song's ace

[trisanicole]

Jeez I was 13 when I saw these guys... now I'm 30. Can't believe I had such great taste as a little kid.

[fffffcccckkkk]

this shit is grating, it reminds me of those annoying british bands. . .like that song "hey bondage up yours"

[uuurrrMomsUnderwear]

favorite bikini kill song =)))

[booobbobo]

I've seen spinal injuries suck less than this band.

[Sherice1891]

Ah Bikini Kill. Grr so great man. I love busting out their raging feminist girl music, while some people are just like wtf? What a wacko! But I'm like...I'm female and proud. yeah yeah!!!

[booobbobo]

What you mean is:

You bust out this nonsense noise (instead of a talented punk band) and offended ears can't help but wonder what is going on while you IMAGINE you're making some kind of social statement.

yeah yeah.

[Sherice1891]

hey booboo or w/e..this is coming from a guy who has shitty videos on his favorites ya and hey, whats the point of u trying to shove your opinions on me? do you seriously think i'm gonna wake up and be like...oh gosh i'm totally gonna listen to this guy on the internet and stop loving my music. don't waste your time buddy.

[booobbobo]

You don't like my favorite videos?!?!

[yorkandpomona]

@Sherice1891 fuck yeah!!!!

[GutterDoll138]

@Sherice1891 :)

[TheBrownNote2007]

That dude in the background is the best dancer ever.

[lenora98]

Billy wear a dress another time

[CaptainPillowMusic]

Love this song.

Reminds me of the white trash carnivals of my youth. ;)

[Ska9Punkrock]

man i sooo wish i could have saw them!

WE WANT REVOLUTION GIRL STYLE NOW!!!!!!!!

[SuckMyLeftOne13]

wish I could've seen them live :(

[samuelmichaud]

What is it about Bikini kill that makes people not be able to handle a camera? hahah

[nee42003]

wheres da volume on dis vid? i don't hear anything, but on the other vids i can hear find.

[PheasantsEye]

If you were using earphones, and only used the left one, you didn't hear anything because all the sound comes from the right side

[nee42003]

o i see y now,,,cuz mah rite speaker in mah laptop is busted lol,,,so i can't hear shit out of there jus dah left:P

[PONER378]

she said giving head to carnies,

its 16 yr old girls... giving carnies head!

[alliestop]

<3 <3 <3

[SwissSkunkStyle]

Guys: fuck yourself.

[samuelmichaud]

k fine i will

[craziesockz]

Having gay/bi friends doesn't make you non homophobic. Just like having black friends doesn't make you not racist.

[Vanuch]

Don't feed the trolls. you guys.

That being said, Katy Perry really looks great in this video! This is a fantastic Bikini Kill cover!

[thehotshowers]

what's pete wentz from fall out boy doing playing guitar for katy perry ? Maybe she kissed him and he liked it !

[riotcunt86]

Shoo..little boy.

stop annoying ppl.

[bulldogbat]

boring as when i saw them long ago (did i say that?)

[PanoplyCabaret]

STFU you stupid cow.

this is NOT katy-mofo-perry!!!!!!!!!!

[reallyhatejazz]

Why?

[PanoplyCabaret]

argh. do we have a case worker around here somewhere? im not authorized to deal with mentally handicapped people

[reallyhatejazz]

Hey, Katy Perry kissed a girl, yes. But she aint handicapped mentally! That kinda thing is called lesbianism or such shit. And she just keeps the pot boiling. Is that a crime?

[PanoplyCabaret]

umm i wasn't calling katy perry handicapped, i was calling YOU that. and i am not against lesbians in any way whatsoever. not that (in all likelihood) katy perry is lesbian anyways. i suspect that's more of a clever marketing scheme.

[reallyhatejazz]

Why do you think that I'm in a wheelchair and something? Have I said anything like that? And yea, Katy is clever. But she's not lesbian! Maybe part-time... But knock-knock! Dude, this is showbiz! Who's straight? (Maybe Jonathan Richman, but he's a weirdo.)

[PanoplyCabaret]

does the word RETARDED make it easier for you?

and what does sexual orientation have to do with this, REALLY?

[reallyhatejazz]

Well, words are the source of misunderstandings - as Miyagi have said in Karate Kid II.. So my answer to your first question is definitely no. As for the sex thing... C'mon! Can't you think of something else in connection with Katy? Well, she probably kissed a girl - and what? Hating lezbos is not a nice thing eighter. Not to mention that Katy is NOT lesbian, she just... well, you know the rest.

[PanoplyCabaret]

oh AWESOME :D

now you're quoting karate kid?!

What are you, an eight year old?

And since you're having such a hard time understanding, let me spell it out for you sweetie

retarded:

"Having only a limited ability to learn and understand", being of weak, simple, or feeble mind, or, in your case, being a DENSE, PRIMITIVE LITTLE DOUCHE

[PanoplyCabaret]

and ABOUT THE FUCKING SEX THING

notice how i said, "WHAT DOES SEXUAL ORIENTATION HAVE TO DO WITH THIS"?

THAT means, that I don't give a crap about if shes lesbian or whatnot. she can be whatever the hell she wants. I couldn't care less. I don't want to talk about it anymore. and i don't hate gay or lesbian people, because some of my best friends are gay/bi. so stfu.

[reallyhatejazz]

Yea, she is not, that's what I say. But it's OK with me. I don't care eighter. Huh. See, we finally agree! You now, it's not a big thing, but I think understanding makes this world a better place.

[PanoplyCabaret]

thank god. as long as you shut up i don't fucking care. :D

[reallyhatejazz]

Yea! Wow, are we... friends now? You know, I'm still not a big Katy-fan, but this scene is soo awesome. You guys rock!

[ncaxxx]

WTF!!!!!! KATY PERRY! WTF!!!!!! You should do the responsible thing and go kill yourself for writing something so annoying. Yuck on your pickle forever!

[reallyhatejazz]

Killing yourself is not the answer. OK, she kissed a girl, and what? The birds still sing, and Jesus still loves her! You know, I think Almighty God keeps a little, quiet place in heaven for lezbos too.

[scorpiusben]

you are one disturbed (dude/chick) -parading on past illegitimate glories are we??

[reallyhatejazz]

Kinda, yeah. Well... I guess. But to tell the truth my english skills are way less advanced than to be capable of understanding what you have just said.

[reallyhatejazz]

Wow, Katy Perry kicks ass.

[riotcunt86]

are u fucking serious katy poerry has no fucking talent. Bikini kill actually sung about shit that mattered. wtf? go ahead and listen to yr b.,s. no talent music and leave riot grrrl for ppl with a taste in music.

[reallyhatejazz]

Wow dude, but this IS Katy Perry isn't she?

[riotcunt86]

no, that would be kathleen hanna and the band is bikini kill. Not katy perry.

[reallyhatejazz]

No way! This IS Katy Perry! She's cool, but as seen she was just way cooler before her commercialistic period I guess.

[avarieweaver]

its not katy perry, and i have no idea how you came to think that. i mean really?

[reallyhatejazz]

Yup, I'm stupid.

But it's Katy. I like her. Wow, isn't she... clever?

[avarieweaver]

it doesn't make sense. carnival by bikini kill was made in 1992, katy was born in 84 so she'd be twelve by the time that this record came out... so? its kathy hanna

[reallyhatejazz]

Yea, Kathy Perry. That's her! And I just love her! Gee, she's cute!  Go Kathy, go!

[feythinsane]

1/10

try again troll.

[reallyhatejazz]

Try what? This is Katy Perry, I like her, and you people are goddamn stupid. C'mon. Why is this hate? She's so cute, and I'm shure she's NOT a real lesbian. She's just like... well, she just wants to sell those records with this attitude. And what? Isn't she clever? Isn't she energetic? I think she's a REAL role-model for anyone. And just look at her dancing! She's a bit fat in this vid, but c'mon, she's sexy!

[scorpiusben]

check your facts dummy... this is NOT katy perry.... only a dumbass will compare someone like them as apples and elephants. -it's obvious you dont know what you're talking about.......

[reallyhatejazz]

Dude, I'm super cereal. This is Katy.

[scorpiusben]

alright.. what makes you think it's Katy Perry??? do you have nohting else to do but annoy people?? honestly.. find something else to do.. -maybe educate yourself a bit???????

[reallyhatejazz]

The Look

The Lips

The Hips

The Tits

The Hair

The Eyes

The Skin

The Waist

You can see what i can do on this microphone

So guess what i'm gonna do to you at home

[RevalisPyross]

Erm, dude, this is not Katy Perry. This is Kathleen Hanna who also sings in Le Tigre. I guess in this video she looks a tiny bit like her, but from what I've heard of Katy Perry they sound nothing alike. And Kathleen Hanna is much more supportive of the LGBT community than Katy Perry.

[reallyhatejazz]

Wow, thanks. But no, not Kathleen. The name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. And I don't know her previous (you know, the inspirational) stuff, but the name El Tigre sounds soo cool for a project like that.

And she isn't bi-curious. In real life, I mean. She just acts like one, to sell records and stuff. That's all. But it's OK, she's cool. And this video is awesome! Soo lively, soo energetic. Soo Katy!

[riotcunt86]

wtf? You know for a fact this isn't katy perry so stop leaving stupid ass comments.

Where the fuck do you even come up with this shit?no one on here hates glbtq ppl just because we are telling you that it is some one else instead of who you "think" it is.

once again, this is Kathleen Hanna from the band bikini Kill not Katy Perry. got it?

[reallyhatejazz]

I just don't get your anger. Being angry is soo lame.

[booobbobo]

I had no idea this was Katy Perry. Thanks for pointing that out!

[reallyhatejazz]

@booobbobo Yup, this is Katy. Before she had read that "how to be Lily Allen" manual.

[WILLOW5033]

@reallyhatejazz.

You're kidding right? It's Kathleen Hanna.

[reallyhatejazz]

Who Lady Gaga? No way dude, This is Katy fucking Perry. No Gaga involved. Lady Gaga? Hes a transvestite! I Hate him.

[WILLOW5033]

I did not say Lady Gaga, I said it was Kathleen Hanna, it's not Katy Perry, Katy Perry is too young to be this person. This was filmed in 1992.

You are clearly trying to agrevate people.

[reallyhatejazz]

Agro what? Are you shure I did that? I mean I did bad things like I almost forgot to feed my grandma's kitten, but hell, not that agro stuff you've mentioned. Hell I try not to! I promise!

[adnrkf5a]

first 20 seconds i read the comments everyone is saying there hardcore and i was like wtf

[ZEExHotnEsS]

i wasn't even born yet when this shit was recorded they're so fucking hardcore

[hxcchick]

To think i was only 11 months old when this footage was taken. I love this band!

[Jelland]

God I feel old - I saw them back then - they were soooo good! I love Babes In Toyland and Silverfish live but Bikini Kill topped them - pure raw energy.

[loorru]

I love how they just play how they think they should play and not caring about what the others think.

[ambulancevsanjanelle]

what fucking kills me is I wish I would've seen them live back then

;/

[xzaraxnirvanax]

the starts weird

[beepenguinofdoom]

wow, i really love them :]

[forgettheswan]

this is amazing

[beepenguinofdoom]

wow, what do you do, just go to all their videos and make yourself look like a dumbass by leaving pointless stupid comments? thats just pathetic

[RIOTdontdiet]

wow.. maybe someone will respect your opinion if you could actually spell. pick up a book you fucking moron.

[TheMadChild]

Roflcopter. You're a fucking retard. Thanks for the laughs.

[woozaaaa]

Sorry, I meant to say Tobi.

[woozaaaa]

I thought it was Tori (she was dating Kurt at the time) who wrote it on his wall because he wore Teen Spirit Deodorant.

[kleinepretzell]

this is a song about 16 year old girls giving carnies head for free rides and hits of pot...I wanna go

[kleinepretzell]

I'll win that Motley Crew mirror if it fucking kills me...

[AbdullahTheNecro]

little trivia...who helped kurt cobain name the song 'smells like teen spirit'? and what's the story behind it? reply and i'll fill you in...

[MiaGrrrl]

Kathleen Hanna wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on his basement wall. her friend was dating Kurt and she wore Teen Spirit deodorant.

[XxSnapArubberBandxX]

that's so cool :]

[DonnaChick010879]

The Friend was Tobi Vail, Bikini Kills Drummer
