I happened to wake up one night many years ago and I turned on the TV to a music channel at like 2am. I watched this music video that one time and haven’t seen it since. This is my second time watching it after it’s been on my mind for over 10 years. Wow. Can’t believe it’s been so long.
I originally heard this from Tony Hawk's Project 8. Since the time the game was released and I completed it..it's been many years now, but this song continuously repeated in my head from time to time. Never though Gnarls Barkley made this! Can't help but love it! At last I've found it, and what a great video!
I remember seeing this music video with my mom when I was barely in kindergarten 😱 Guess it’s been in my mind subconsciously lol Good to know I didn’t imagine it!
This is a timeless masterpiece. The musical and lyrical content are in themselves fairly basic but the whole number is put together so brilliantly that the result is simply a masterpiece of pop. This is one tune that I have to hear at least once a month, there aren't many I can say that of. It's about time we had some more like this from the Gnarlss'. :)
@@OlafurArons I love the femmes. I came here to check out this cover and have to say that it is not bringing anything special to the table at all. The original is much better.
Whaou une éternité que je ne les avais pas écouté et ouhh lala, les années 80' et 90' c'était génial, d'invention de liberté de créatif unique, je ne m'en lasse pas merci à vous salut à tous
Decided to search for this song tonight because I remembered this from Tony Hawk Project 8, but I also recently remembered seeing the music video on the screens at the bowling alley I used to go to when I was younger, vaguely remembered it being something about bugs. Close enough. And geez, watching this again I remember the ending with the main bug in photos breathing out bug spray. Weird thing to suddenly remember after all these years, but hey, that's how some memories work, I guess.
I saw the Violent Femmes at a college venue in New Orleans with my best friend. That was about 20 years ago, great show, dude played a conch shell better than most people can play the radio. Side note, I've been dating said friend for 3 years as of next week. This version is great! Different enough to show respect for the original. Love them both!
In classic 144p.....nostalgic 😭 gimme back my childhood with that shitty quality 😩😅😂 having childhood till 2009 seemed like best years to me....everything went downwards from that point.
we're on the road to nowhere daddio!lol. ;-) man, stick around, i'm so old that i can get nostalgic for the 1980's Violent Femmes incarnation or the merely decade old, though no less nostalgiaworthy nice bit of business courtesy of gnarly Gnarls et al. I'm spoilt for choice. Age has gotta have some redeemable features. doesn't it?lol. ;-)
I love how in one moment they just out of nowhere declare war on some chick and she's oblivious to the music playing until they are halfway up her thigh
if you really want to hear some of the good songs that gnarls barkley have made, check out "just a thought", "a little better" or "st. elsewhere" to name a few. they make great music
Finally...finally...after hours and hours of going through...animated....bug...insect.......and what not search options...I found this song in vacuum section. Oh Lord...damn this worth it
I have no clue why, when I spend all day most days on RUclips, and this is one of my favorite bands...have I never watched this video. Tragic, so much time wasted. But now remedied.
Just found out that someone covered this song... _NINE FUCKING YEARS AGO_ ?!?. It's a decent enough cover, I guess, but the original still rocks harder. Weird fuckin video doesn't really fit, though.
whether you are an r&b fan or a bieber fever freak or metal head, how can ANYONE not find this song and video awesome?! GOOD MUSIC is GOOD MUSIC people. learn to appreciate music, not just genres.
This song wouldn't be nearly as memorable as it is without this crazy video! I would love to know who came up with this concept! This is one of videos you look at and say," what was this person thinking when they created this"!
Remember seeing this video when i was a wee little boy, its been hidden in my brain and occasionally made appearances putting the refrain in my head and remembering some sort of weird animatied characters without remembering details. Finally found the video, have been looking for it for a long time now but i always searched for "Gone and gone" which didnt give results :C
I remember waking up one morning like 5 years ago to this music video. I've been creeped ever since. Glad after all these years It's out of my head. Jeez
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR LITERALLY 10 YEARS, I THOUGHT IT WAS A FEVER DREAM
me too
Glad you found it
WHAT THE HELL SAME. WHY DID WE ALL EXPERIENCE THIS!?
It's a cover of a Violent Femmes song.
@@simonmcnamee619 really?
I remember watching this vid as a kid
Hearthing you're the one subscribe to cats. gtfo
Me too
Me too. Apparently it's easy to remember. :D
S.S.O.. SUPER SMART ORIGINAL ....
Wish I knew the ideas behind Ceelos videos

Saaaame couldn’t find the song!!! But it sticks with me 😂
I freaking love that. That’s some next level satisfaction. 💙
Best Raid commercial ever
xD
lmao
Alex B jajajajjaja
Nah,Alex B,that was "Starship Troopers".
Who puts Raid on their dog?
Great Violent Femmes cover!

It's a great song
Violent femmes in 83
Yes:D
Nice insight professor
For me, it was fm2, but Project 8 was mint
man this was in the deepest corners of my mind

Eines der geilsten Videos der letzten 30 Jahre, super!!!
I honestly thought I made up the animated bug parts in my overly imaginative childhood brain but I guess not... holy shit this video is a fever-dream.

Song wasn't written by Gnarls Barkley though. It's by Violent Femmes, who for example also wrote 'Blister in the sun'.
@@OlafurArons I love the femmes. I came here to check out this cover and have to say that it is not bringing anything special to the table at all.
The original is much better.
@@vevrvivnvsame
Original by the Violent Femmes is MUCH BETTER
I love it when U see them traveling to her shoe from afar, and get the realisation of how low the music actually is :p Epic...
I first heard this on a Tony Hawk game. Best skating session ever.
THP8!!!!
Tony hawk's project 8
So glad I heard this on Forza 2 all those years ago! Never would have imagined the music video was so bizarre haha.
Agreed
Ditto
This has been on the back of my mind for years! AND NOW I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!
I must have been under a rock when this came out. Excellent cover of a excellent tune.
What's the original song called?
@@quasarqueensame as dis one

"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect."
all gnarls's videos always trip the life out of me...and i louve it!
Holy shit. i saw this on MTV ages ago and have been looking for the video forever. BEST DAY EVER.

A thought to all who spent years trying to find this song. If only they paid attention to awesome bands back in the day.
Randomly saw this after Raw on Spike TV, stuck with me for 10+ years with no knowledge on what the song was. Crazy seeing it again tbh
great sense of humor, fantastic music, so much soul it is a joy!
*legends say that the bass fly is still viving on the sticky tape*
Awesome Chuck Sounds bring memories flooding back! Thank you! Bring us the Chuck movie! 2015
When I was a kid I found it sad that he died.. Even now I still do. R.I.P
+Ren Suzugamori when who died
The flea man
Cee-lo? He's not dead. He's still alive
+Ren Suzugamori I guess you mean the flea in the video not CeeLo?
;)
+Ren Noir Suzugamori i hought you were serious

I hope you both have lived a happy and healthy life and that you two are happily married now!
Just found this in 2022...Violent Femmes has always been my favorite band. Great cover much props
This song takes me back to being 8. Wow, good times you.
7 years already! damn we old, well back to the nostalgia trail.
The clip scares me... Especially the last seconds...
Yoooo I haven’t seen this in like years nostalgia going crazy right now Lmfaooo
I love this song but the veido still gives me chills
I remember this from Forza Motorsport 2 (which had a GREAT soundtrack) but I didn’t know it also had one weird music video!
Really cool video. Like the detail at 2:12 with the fly-swatter. And also the fact that lyrics and pictures matches so good together.
That's the only song i like from Gnarls Barkley!
Gone daddy gone, the love is gone !
+ I like the video, Awesome!!
The best videoclip from this age
In classic 144p.....nostalgic 😭 gimme back my childhood with that shitty quality 😩😅😂 having childhood till 2009 seemed like best years to me....everything went downwards from that point.
One of the most brilliantly creative music videos ever made.
So weird seeing this after SO long. When I was a kid, this video terrified me, especially the picture parts. Loved the song, though.
Wow, this video rocked :D Very creative :P Me like it long time :D
I've been looking everywhere for this. I legit thought it was a weird lucid dream I had.
This is not art - this is a sign that what we have now is the end of a period in human society!!!
I was terrified of this music video when I was little...
hahahahaha this is a great video, still funny & love it lol
Lol me too I was about 7 when I saw it
This is nothing, you should see the Teletubbies episode with the bear and the lion.
hahaha me too :)
ughalicex Little?
This is the single most weirdest music video that i have EVER watched! THIS VIDEO IS HILARIOUS!! HA HA HA HA
7 years already! damn we old, well back to the nostalgia trail.

7 more now 😬😖 just keep your chin up high and wear the good ol' memories with pride
This video is incredible. So creative and creepy and... disturbing and cool!!
That sex scene, totally from Fight Club, they David Fintchered the fuck out of this video.
Thank god I decided to watch chuck again and this song was in the s1s2 :P I've been looking for this for years too :D
I remember hearing this on an old Tony Hawk game, Project 8 was it? I can't remember. Good stuff.
Rodney Mullins song i think XD
It was bob bournquists song
TrollsAreGonnaTroll Forza MS 2 as well
Nice fight club reference very cool/clever scene and good ode to The Violent Femmes. They will be proud of this re-make.
I love how in one moment they just out of nowhere declare war on some chick and she's oblivious to the music playing until they are halfway up her thigh
Dayum I watched this once on mtv as a kid and I found it again only now!! Been looking for this since 2008!!
The clip scares me... Especially the last seconds...
once again nice remake cee lo is one of my faves, i always loved the violent femmes, great rendition!
Anybody here from the show chuck?
Gotta love the fly on the bass.
COOL!
I actually had no idea Gnarles Barkley did a version of this... I like it a lot.
gnarles barkley is beast, epic, amazing, awesome, great , good, insanely good oh must i go on???!!!
if you really want to hear some of the good songs that gnarls barkley have made, check out "just a thought", "a little better" or "st. elsewhere" to name a few. they make great music
written by the violent femmes
Thank you MTV
9/10/2019 I love this song
Finally...finally...after hours and hours of going through...animated....bug...insect.......and what not search options...I found this song in vacuum section. Oh Lord...damn this worth it
Fkn hell this brings me back.

Tony Hawks Project 8

Forza 2 as well. I have both
Bob Burnquist

Bob burnquist's song on Tony hawk project 8
✊✊✊
Jordo Games hydfyuysd
Grat homage to Violent Femmes...I love the way Gnarles Barkley covered this song!!
I will tell my kids this was a Monster in Paris
That is an incredibly niche reference and I love it 🤣🤣
I have no clue why, when I spend all day most days on RUclips, and this is one of my favorite bands...have I never watched this video. Tragic, so much time wasted. But now remedied.
All I can picture when I hear this song, is Chuck freaking out and running around half dressed, you know, like he does...
yes
love this, its amazing and the video is great lol! We have to laugh occassionally folk!!!!!!
gnarls barkflea?
What a wonderful video!!!!!!
Apparently nowadays mainstream artists can only make good music if they...cover classics.
Just stick to your bubble & never tell a bad opinion again
i used to love this song when i was little... i still love it but omg this music video
This is the weirdest music video I've seen
hahah, you must haven't have seen tool videos
@@kentheonlywellmaybedontoo9754 what is that
love this crazy song. heard it on the paladia channel!
Just found out that someone covered this song... _NINE FUCKING YEARS AGO_ ?!?. It's a decent enough cover, I guess, but the original still rocks harder. Weird fuckin video doesn't really fit, though.
Wow bellissima vecchia canzone del 2007!! ;) :)
Jogar modern combat 5 ao som dessa música é simplesmente engraçado 😂😂😂
whether you are an r&b fan or a bieber fever freak or metal head, how can ANYONE not find this song and video awesome?! GOOD MUSIC is GOOD MUSIC people. learn to appreciate music, not just genres.
This is a Violent Femmes song........how dat' happen
And two years later Violent Femmes made a cover of Crazy. Hehe.
This song wouldn't be nearly as memorable as it is without this crazy video! I would love to know who came up with this concept! This is one of videos you look at and say," what was this person thinking when they created this"!
Pretty underrated song. It's so catchy!
Only true OGs keep listening to this banger.
Isn't the instrumental for this featered in "Chuck"?
No, that’s Short Skirt/ Long Jacket by Cake
Gone Daddy Gone did actually feature in Chuck > ruclips.net/video/lq4wYAxXUFk/видео.html
i've been searching this for long time ! and finally : ]
Excelente video y genial versión
Amazing video and song 😊
Who is listening to this in 2017?
hell yes
Listening in 2018
Nope 2019
From my childhood brain and memories !
2:34 he's like a lone coffee bean
except he's smaller than a grain of sand. He'd get crushed by her
Beautiful pov shots.
Remember seeing this video when i was a wee little boy, its been hidden in my brain and occasionally made appearances putting the refrain in my head and remembering some sort of weird animatied characters without remembering details. Finally found the video, have been looking for it for a long time now but i always searched for "Gone and gone" which didnt give results :C
I was just mind my own business and watching some good ole Violent Femmes and then I found this. This made me love gnarls barkley.
LOL! GENUIS!
gnarls barkley is my favorite artist, next to gorillaz
I remember waking up one morning like 5 years ago to this music video. I've been creeped ever since. Glad after all these years It's out of my head. Jeez
