lolz. this is where boredom & typing "i hate vegemite" into a web search late at night brings you on the interwebs. great song amanda. you nailed it! totally paraphrased it all for me.
I heard this song by Jinkx Monsoon on a show and laughed my heart out as a Latin American living in NZ, who doesn't understand how people eat vegemite. Jinkx mentioned Amanda and I came back to Google her. I live.
Thank you for uploading this! Just got back from the sydney show at opera house! This was an awesome song! lol @ our concert she followed it up with the happy little vegimites theme
@rjherie There is a reason behind the madness: she opened that show with Sex Changes, but got too excited and accidentally hit the "change instrument" button, changing the music from piano to harpsichord mid-song (hence "Harpsichord!"). She tried to carry on, and called for Mikelangelo, the supporting artist, to come onstage to correct the problem; but, he deliberately made it worse by putting the pre-recorded electro-synth backing track on (hence "Electro version!").
But I really like Vegemite... :( ... Unless I find somebody who does as well, I will be sung this song to all my life! I know, I need to move to Australia and find someone there!
@MachVX Oh God, I know! Wasn't it the most amazing performance ever?? I was hoping that some footage from the Sydney concert might have been posted, but I haven't found any yet :( I wanted to see what our mobile phone symphony sounded like!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! That was awesome. 'Absolutely loved it, yes. I've heard of Vegemite, and now I have even less of an impulse to try it (if that makes any sense at all).
I love this song, it always makes me laugh. I desperately want to perform it in my school talent show, but seeing as I've had to explain what Vegemite is to every one of my friends that I've had listen to this, I don't think anyone in the audience would get it except for my mildly bemused friends.
I'm trying to buy my first jar of Marmite for the B vitamins (northwest has very English weather), but I haven't tried it in years and don't know if that tiny pot is worth the seven bucks... Perhaps I'll save it... for now.
This is fucking great. If she wouldn't of made it as such a great artist, she would of been a fucking great comedian for sure....although I think she has combined both :)
I AM PREGNANT WITH HATRED FOR VEGEMITE
My heart is in your hands, please wash your hands. hahahaha
I'm a fan of Marmite, and this song had me in tears of laughter. We're here for you Neil!

"it is the Vegemite my Darling..
It is the Vegemite my Darling..
Put down the Vegemite you fucker!..
Or I'll leave"
Hahaha

Yay she performed it! And recorded the performance for an album she's gonna release in Australia in January!
Your recording is better than mine!! Thanks :) AFP brings tears to my eyes.
I have never heard the old veg described like that before! Glorious I say Glorious!!!!
my wife eats the black death paste on a daily basis and now my son loves the stuff too... ITS TAKING OVER!...
Here I am, 12 years after I first saw this, still laughing uncontrollably at this song.

Oh Amanda, you never fail to deliver! This was awesome! Thanks for uploading :)
I like Vegemite, it's just the Australian way. But if it was really Amanda or Vegemite I'd never touch it again :P
This song is funny I love her :)
@MachVX Oh God, I know! Wasn't it the most amazing performance ever?? I was hoping that some footage from the Sydney concert might have been posted, but I haven't found any yet :( I wanted to see what our mobile phone symphony sounded like!
If the people at Vegemite have any sense this will be the theme song for their next advert...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! That was awesome. 'Absolutely loved it, yes.

Two people don't know what Vegemite is.
if I ever get the chance to try Vegemite I'll have to keep this song in mind.
This....this can't happen! I love Marmite! I feel as if I'm betraying her!
Neil Gaiman is a lucky man
I love this song, it always makes me laugh. I desperately want to perform it in my school talent show, but seeing as I've had to explain what Vegemite is to every one of my friends that I've had listen to this, I don't think anyone in the audience would get it except for my mildly bemused friends.
Eelsa God I hope you performed this!
I really, really, really, really F'ing LOVE Amanda Palmer and I love vegemite.
@JellyOnTheRoad She said it is a beer belly a minute ago on Twitter. Lol.
One of the great things about Vegemite is that you can still taste it for half an hour after you eat it.
This is hilarious but I love Vegemite. :P
I'm trying to buy my first jar of Marmite for the B vitamins (northwest has very English weather), but I haven't tried it in years and don't know if that tiny pot is worth the seven bucks... Perhaps I'll save it... for now.
My comment was in reply to someone who said that vegemite required a "cultured" taste.
Ps Amanda, please perform this song during your March 10, 2010 concert in Brisbane :-)
I NEED this on my iTunes, MAKE IT HAPPEN PEOPLE!!
AFP FTW
Does anyone have access to chords for this!? I'm happy to pay! I just love it and want to sing it for a cabaret....
77,777 views...fortuitous.
hey thanks for stopping by, and keep making films you have talent!
LOL brilliant wordplay I hope! I caught that too, egyptiansushi!
Could anybody convert the actual song part of this video into an mp3 format?? I'd love you forever!!
Brilliant, but even better live!!!
I love watching people (for people read "americans") try vegemite/marmite for the first time on youtube.
Like 2girls1etc.. for foodstuffs.
I can't decide if this is brilliant wordplay or accidental genius. PLEASE ALERT ME
c'est du Amanda Palmer à la Lynda Lemay :') :') :')
I love a girl from Australia, and this is our song.
This is fucking great. If she wouldn't of made it as such a great artist, she would of been a fucking great comedian for sure....although I think she has combined both :)
Still funny after all these years. So awesome. 🤣
wow thanks :)
Marmite is delicious. And this from an American. But I am still in love with this song.
They're taped to the top of her Keyboard
"Tastes like Batteries"
Marmite and cheese omnomnomnomnom
AH! I love this song so much I want it on my ipod!! Can somebody make that happen please? haha
this song is brilliant.
Brilliant!
I was in front of the speaker you were probably beside it or something
We need to start a campaign to call it Vegemite Love

I just know that Neil's response to this song was to eat even more vegemite
but he told me it was chocolate fudge
Just how different is vegemite from marmite?
loved it :D
i love her in all ways!

I love vegemite, never tried marmite though.
+Hugoblob I actually don't like vegemite, and marmite is similar, but I adore marmite. And this song almost made me cry laughing!
It's slightly worse.
I love vegemite... but man this is funny!
She looks super pretty here.
I so wish I could have been there!!! damn cheap flights not letting me change! :(

amandapalmer (1 day ago) "I AM PREGNANT WITH HATRED FOR VEGEMITE "

I guess I love her even more after this!
I like promite much better than vegemite, but I'll happily eat either :)

The words 'foul death paste' set me off every time. :L
