Jason Segel (main character, "Peter Brenner") wrote all the songs in the movie, Aldous Snow stuff and Dracula musical. He's actually really talented as a song writer lol
pretty sure this movie was successful and spawned a spin off film centered even more predominantly on the aldis snow character. so no plenty of people know how funny it is lol
love Russel brand..i totally get his humor and the fact that I completely resonate with his personal struggles with addictions to his journey towards spiritual curiosity and walking into AND through enlightenment and self awareness without LOOSING his humor really enjoy his work as well as an overall human being..think he's pretty awsome he doesn't downplay his flawed human side and makes him easy to resonate and connect with on so many levels..he is hilarious in my opinion...and as an American I always appreciate the accents of those from the Brit/eu countries..ive always been drawn to that not just with Russ..but he is definately one of my top favorites..!!
Its amazing how this song is saying "we've gotta do something" and 7 years later he has made the trews, trying to do something to change the the world...thats trippy!!!
Lately Mother Earth has been feeling unsatisfied I'd say it's plain from the rain, the sweet lady started to cry Fires crackle and blaze in the rays of her burning heart And I don't think it's smart to Lay and wait for the day that she dies in our arms … We gotta do something We gotta do something Before Mother Earth gets anymore hurt We gotta do something … From what I've read there's a lotta bad stuff in the world today It's been said it's getting rough to find a place where the children play So, Mr Prime Minister and Mr President You better see that it's not only me, no Our mob is rising in size And they've been dying to scream out to you … You gotta do something We gotta do something Sometimes I sit in my room And I don't know what to do But we've gotta do something … It's time to do something Someone should do something We gotta do something And that someone is you And you and you and you … I pray it ain't all lost and gone I pray we might learn right from wrong And I pray this broken day will not last too long I pray that you believe my song, darlin' … You know I'm sorry if this is hard for you to take But a lot of it just needs sayin' And I don't see anyone else out there Giving out this message And if I don't do this, who's gonna do it? And maybe, if someone hears these words Maybe the whole world gets round and listens to what I'm sayin' And maybe we have a chance Because I don't wanna see another child crying I don't wanna see another dog dyin' in the street I can't see another homeless man, because it doesn't seem right to me He's got a home, he's not got a home What's the point in that? Why can't we all just get together in one big home And if I was in government Then I'd government things much more differentlier Because it ain't the best way to government things So there's poor people everywhere You know I would just be sittin' alone Thinkin' "How can I do something?" 'Cause I ain't gonna be in chains no more You lot might have been conned, but I ain't been conned 'Cause I'm a free man I'm free, and I'm gonna let my soul soar And the way I do that is through my music So why don't you do something?
Here's to Aldous Snow: The most fucking rockstar of the fake rockstars that exist, and much better than many of the real ones. Russell Brand is actually pretty badass with this
@@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell yeah, that's the joke, but also, if we want to over analyze a joke for no good reason, it's not an oxymoron since "fight" in the context is not referring to violence, to "physically punching violence." it's only an oxymoron if you're pedantic. if I said "I live in LA, but I gotta run to new york this weekend for work" this op would say "uh, seriously? that's a long way to run on foot, and I KNOW you mean on foot since in a car or plane you're not technically running, making what you said absurd." --__-- it's figurative.
Pretty sure Jason Segel, the guy playing the songwriter character in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, actually wrote the Aldous Snow songs in the movie. He actually can decent write songs.
I can't stop watching this. It makes me lmao! I really love the part where he goes off and starts talking/yelling. Singers who do that are just so hokey, IMO. =p
Hey! I totally dismissed that guy like everyone else, and he's a major major influence on my life, and I feel TERRIBUL! God bless Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
I wish this song took over the world. Sometimes it brings tears to my eyes. But it's usually quite inspiring. Maybe one day, we will all finally wake up and realize, We've Gotta Do Something.
LOLOLOLOL ROFL!!!!!!!! Fantastic video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm rofling my ass off. Everything he does in this video is so hillarious, especially the moves/dancing, and what he does to the random people walking by. ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!! I have to admit that Aldous is very 6y.
It never occurred to me how perfectly this captured that mid-2000s Robbie Williams rock ballad sound. It's so close to something he could've written, Russell Brand even sounds like him.
Every time I see him grab the officer's gun, shake his head in disgust and just wing it into the street, and especially, when he grabs the young businesswoman's carry-bag, does a 360 with it for extra torque, then launches it into a room off the hallway where they're filming just makes me laugh out loud like i'm seeing it for the first time.
"We were elected into office to solve problems, so we've spent months deliberating this topic. Here's our response; we need to do _something,_ but not something that would upset our biggest campaign contributors or donors."
Russell is so talented! I wish his TV show inn US hadn't been cancelled. Going to the Greek & Forgetting Sarah Marshall were funny shows. This song is pretty relavent especially these days. 😂✌️💋🌹💯
"I've lost a shoe, have you seen it? It's like this one's fellow, like the exact opposite. Not an evil version, but just for the other foot." haha
Forgetting Sarah Marshall... The best comedy ever 😍... Thank you Jason Siegel
@@kurtledger8243 I agree with you
It's funny
My.fave !!! I can recite the movie drives hubby nuts 😆 🤣 😂 😹
I love that line. Every time a shoe is missing I quote it.
In 2023, we still haven't forgotten Sarah Marshall.
Who?
Who still listening to this classic in 2024 ❤❤
So iconic
absolute banger
🫵an👉an👈an👈
DESDE GUATEMAYA!! 🤘💚
Twelve years later and we’ve yet to do something. FOR SHAME!
No Russell Brand supports American fascisms. lol. What a fucking twat.
Jason Segel the genius behind this song! He’s sooo gooodd writing this one 😄
Beatiful movie. Forghten Sara Marshall.
Yea but only Richard Brand can turn it into gold .
I don't know if they meant to make it this good, but it's brilliant!
i love how they make a whole song out of it instead of just making a little cut seen for the movie they actually take the time
Jason Segel (main character, "Peter Brenner") wrote all the songs in the movie, Aldous Snow stuff and Dracula musical.
He's actually really talented as a song writer lol
joshua ha he wrote this to along side though, (just saying).
@@mariaannasamuelsson998idk if it's just me but I didn't understand what you said: "Wrote this to along side" ??
Bro they made a fucking music video... Most Bands don't even do that shit anymore. Grade A movie production
*three whole songs, 👍 haha
How can you read when you are blind? I laughed too hard in the movie theaters at that. Like howling. I shouldn't have smoked before hand
"Sometimes I sit in my room and I don't know what to do! BUT WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING!"
Hilarious.
This song is deep we really gotta do something
Especially you!
We gotta sodomize intolerance 😤😤😤
SomeFing*
Especially if your kitchen is filled with flies!
This movie gets better every time I see it.
Love how people dont seem to realise how funny this is
pretty sure this movie was successful and spawned a spin off film centered even more predominantly on the aldis snow character. so no plenty of people know how funny it is lol
love Russel brand..i totally get his humor and the fact that I completely resonate with his personal struggles with addictions to his journey towards spiritual curiosity and walking into AND through enlightenment and self awareness without LOOSING his humor really enjoy his work as well as an overall human being..think he's pretty awsome he doesn't downplay his flawed human side and makes him easy to resonate and connect with on so many levels..he is hilarious in my opinion...and as an American I always appreciate the accents of those from the Brit/eu countries..ive always been drawn to that not just with Russ..but he is definately one of my top favorites..!!
too many people are "woke"
Reading all y'all comments makes me wanna slam my head so shut the fuck up
I can't stop f**king laughing no matter how many times I watch it... I just gotta do something
Russell DID do something... he started a podcast!
The longest dramatic monologue in a song ever.
Uh... I've played this over and over so many times on my phone. Good days.
Russel Brand should sing more. He has a great voice. This is better than stuff on the radio.
"Fight back against violence"
"Don't consume, buy green"
I miss comedy being this brilliant
"If I was in government, I'd government things much more differentlier!"
Facts
Sadly his Aldos Snow personna is better than about 90% of the stuff out there.....
Russell, please, dont stop, coz you sing excellent. Better than others whom i know.
+gibbsies He talked about doing it on his radio show, he's done a bunch of songs and his co-host used to make fun of him for it
The best "fake" band ever ... Oh wait I mean to say better than all the really fake-error bands ever!!
It's a real band now. Look them up.
FAITH+1 is a good contender.
"THIS SIGN IS NOT FOR SALE" i love how powerful that message is.
SODOMIZE INTOLERANCE
FIGHT BACK AGAINST VIOLENCE
Honestly better than a lot of music coming out now 😂😂
Go figure, right? It has an actual Melody.
Its amazing how this song is saying "we've gotta do something"
and 7 years later he has made the trews, trying to do something to change the the world...thats trippy!!!
You can not not love him! :D My favourite song ever!
I crack up every time he tosses the gun from the officer 😂😂
Lately Mother Earth has been feeling unsatisfied
I'd say it's plain from the rain, the sweet lady started to cry
Fires crackle and blaze in the rays of her burning heart
And I don't think it's smart to
Lay and wait for the day that she dies in our arms
… We gotta do something
We gotta do something
Before Mother Earth gets anymore hurt
We gotta do something
… From what I've read there's a lotta bad stuff in the world today
It's been said it's getting rough to find a place where the children play
So, Mr Prime Minister and Mr President
You better see that it's not only me, no
Our mob is rising in size
And they've been dying to scream out to you
… You gotta do something
We gotta do something
Sometimes I sit in my room
And I don't know what to do
But we've gotta do something
… It's time to do something
Someone should do something
We gotta do something
And that someone is you
And you and you and you
… I pray it ain't all lost and gone
I pray we might learn right from wrong
And I pray this broken day will not last too long
I pray that you believe my song, darlin'
… You know I'm sorry if this is hard for you to take
But a lot of it just needs sayin'
And I don't see anyone else out there
Giving out this message
And if I don't do this, who's gonna do it?
And maybe, if someone hears these words
Maybe the whole world gets round and listens to what I'm sayin'
And maybe we have a chance
Because I don't wanna see another child crying
I don't wanna see another dog dyin' in the street
I can't see another homeless man, because it doesn't seem right to me
He's got a home, he's not got a home
What's the point in that?
Why can't we all just get together in one big home
And if I was in government
Then I'd government things much more differentlier
Because it ain't the best way to government things
So there's poor people everywhere
You know I would just be sittin' alone
Thinkin' "How can I do something?"
'Cause I ain't gonna be in chains no more
You lot might have been conned, but I ain't been conned
'Cause I'm a free man
I'm free, and I'm gonna let my soul soar
And the way I do that is through my music
So why don't you do something?
Thank you so much, I was looking for the lyrics, you're awesome
He’s got a home, he’s not got a home, what’s the point in that?? LMAO
This is the anthem we need in 2020.
That’s right
When he starts talking it gives me chills. Lol
Yes we need to get rid of Biden and the rest of his administration.
I WATCH THIS VIDEO EVERY WEEKEND AND ALL ALDOUS SNOW SONGS...LOVE THEM.X
When he forcibly hugs the Arab and then bums the Nun! 😂 I howled when I saw this in the theatre. People were death staring me 😂
What a ridiculously awesome songs. Stupidly uplifting!
Here's to Aldous Snow: The most fucking rockstar of the fake rockstars that exist, and much better than many of the real ones. Russell Brand is actually pretty badass with this
Agreed
2023. still listening. and seriously think that we need to do something
"how can you read when you are blind" LOL
I miss this movie!
This is fucking amazing and it’s only aged like fine wine
Russell Brand as Aldous Snow is the rock star we never knew we needed!!!
Inspirational much! Nd oh this man's voice! Something else!
2024 and I couldn’t agree more with this song 🎶 . Really ahead of its time
This is meant as a joke, and it's still better than Corey Feldman.
funny dude and doesnt take himself too serious - he aint afraid to be original or off the wall a little with his comedy ..thats refreshing
Infant sorrow we want more ! Russel should be a singer
I freeking love this song and video! It is f-ing awesome!
Don't consume.
Buy green.
😂
Such an inspiring song . Mr Rand your band is so genius #Incant sorrow😊
LOVE THIS. Somewhere in between inspiration, goose bumps & cracking up😁
He rips up the “Hate” sign, then gives the viewer the most hateful, disgusted stare. Peak satire.
This is actually a banging song, and very relevant.
Correct
I found out that Russel Brand wrote it along with Jason Segal ! The 2 musicians in the movie !
I love how this is a song inside of a movie and its amazing.
This aged like wine.
Top comment. Russ ain't gonna down quietly. It's coming
Great Movie
Why don't we do something?
cus most people are full of shit :(
That's the joke....
@@caddyshackhonda Ahh sarcasm...the bane of WafflesGTi 38's existence.
@@Mudcat3434 I'm actually ashamed of myself...
"Fight Against Violence". An oxymoron if ever I saw one!
That's The Joke
@@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell yeah, that's the joke, but also, if we want to over analyze a joke for no good reason, it's not an oxymoron since "fight" in the context is not referring to violence, to "physically punching violence." it's only an oxymoron if you're pedantic. if I said "I live in LA, but I gotta run to new york this weekend for work" this op would say "uh, seriously? that's a long way to run on foot, and I KNOW you mean on foot since in a car or plane you're not technically running, making what you said absurd." --__-- it's figurative.
@@westingtyler1 do you hate all puns this much?
I fucking love him
This is a really good song. It should be on the radio. He has a nice voice and the lyrics are really good.
Pretty sure Jason Segel, the guy playing the songwriter character in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, actually wrote the Aldous Snow songs in the movie. He actually can decent write songs.

God bless Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

LOLOLOLOL ROFL!!!!!!!! Fantastic video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm rofling my ass off.
Everything he does in this video is so hillarious, especially the moves/dancing, and what he does to the random people walking by. ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!
I have to admit that Aldous is very 6y.
It never occurred to me how perfectly this captured that mid-2000s Robbie Williams rock ballad sound. It's so close to something he could've written, Russell Brand even sounds like him.
I came here because of FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL MOVIE 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same here man
Me three
Possibly the greatest song ever written!!
Crazy song to workout and get a pump too
i put this on today on the treadmill and youre right
RB is a national treasure
I love how he just grabs the cops gun and tosses it down the way lol
“YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING” lives in my head rent free 😂😂
"Don't consume
Buy green"
oh that's great LOL
Russell Brand is just awesome.
2024 Babes! We gotta do something! 😆
The world badly needs this song now.
If I was the government then i would government things much more differentlyer 😂😂😂
Haha. Grately said.
By the way,I checked out your favorite songs list.You have great taste in music my friend.

Russell I love infant sorrow. And of course you...
By god its 2020 and will still gotta do something
Best fake band ever Absolutely love it love him
I agree
Spinal Tap: Are we a joke to you?
Masterpiece no doubt
Best thing I've read about russell brand recently is "he had the clairvoyance to parody himself six years ago" and a link to this video.
This is actually really good lol. Russel is badass. That piano 🎹 🔥
the ending really got me.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, great movie :)
This is an historic video of Russell Brand predicting (creating?) all of the 2010's Liberalism.
Every time I see him grab the officer's gun, shake his head in disgust and just wing it into the street, and especially, when he grabs the young businesswoman's carry-bag, does a 360 with it for extra torque, then launches it into a room off the hallway where they're filming just makes me laugh out loud like i'm seeing it for the first time.
Politicians and talking heads after a mass tragedy:
"We were elected into office to solve problems, so we've spent months deliberating this topic. Here's our response; we need to do _something,_ but not something that would upset our biggest campaign contributors or donors."
I liked the way his hair was here
Joe rogan should really have aldous snow on
Best Anti-Woke Anthem ever.
omg hes a reli good singer and actor!!!
luv him
His music is better then most pop music today. I'm being serious
Der Film ist echt witzig und gut . Der Song aber genausone lachnummer !!!!
I BLOODY love him...lmao
Don’t you just love that Russell Brand figures telling us to do something is actually doing something.
For the love of god someone’s gotta do something!
Russell is so talented! I wish his TV show inn US hadn't been cancelled. Going to the Greek & Forgetting Sarah Marshall were funny shows. This song is pretty relavent especially these days. 😂✌️💋🌹💯
