Barenaked Ladies - Thanks That Was Fun (Video Version)

[@babymoondancer]

I don't think anyone could replace Steve. His voice is indescribable!

[@unknownkingdom]

meh

[@KitKatKate1313]

Ooo p pill p pop

[@shaunnobiss6880]

Drugs did 😂

[@lawoman729]

I can describe it! Nanny Fine & Pee Wee Herman got really plastered one night and.... Well you get the idea. 😒

[@Sumer61]

Looks like a tribute to Steven, and the fun they all had together over the years. Very cleverly made video. I love it. Come back Steven, we miss you.

[@chrisrobitaille1205]

2024 déjà ….. tellement de souvenirs ❤

[@potsy5656]

This brings me back..growing up in rural Canada this song was played alot.

[@thescarycarrie]

This song really means something to me. It's so true.. after you get your heart broken, you look back at the past and say.."Thanks, that was fun.."

[@wshorrock]

such an amazing band! they did a great job putting this video together!

[@MrInitialMan]

I find it interesting that you can catch glimpses of Andy Creegan here and there in the video.

[@PineappleStig]

Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits, if I remember correctly.

[@penguin44ca]

This song is called I'm not as good as Steve. From the album called we used to be good with Steve.

[@danox574]

Still one of music video's significant achievements, and a real testament to the fact that they truly performed for their fans. Thanks guys.

[@starryskysrhere]

i having been listening to this song a lot the past 2 days. i just love it so much!

[@GregoryLindsey1979]

If you aren't familiar with BnL... well, you probably aren't watching this video. But just in case: this video is entirely composed of clips from all of their previous videos, with mouths digitally replaced so they're singing a different song. It is an editing marvel, and it blew me away the first time I saw it.

[@tomkat5626]

It was fun indeed. The 90s were a blast for me .THX , BNL that WAS fun.

[@Gashnor]

I've never seen this video, been a huge fan of the band since about... 2007 when my friend burned me a copy of their greatest hits (the one with this song as the 2nd to last or last song). I never realized this video combined them all together, though, crazy awesome.

[@pickassoreborn]

I love this video - nicely done mash-up of BNL memories of the past. Great concept!

[@waageaune]

What a great band! I went to one of their concerts in Minneapolis. It was great!

[@amclmusic]

Fantastic song with fantastic lyrics with a genius video. It almost made me sad watching it

[@egoistiko9605]

Omg.. it's 2023

[@e.l.s.3048]

Love this group. They made geekiness and nerdiness cool, and I mean it as a compliment. They looked like the kind of guys, when younger, were picked on in school. They had talent, decided to show the world up, and appeared to say "How do like these apples?" to the rest of us through their songs. What other group has done this just as successfully? (Rhetorical, optional to answer)

[@GameyRaccoon]

these apples are delicious!

[@paulcyr22]

loved the going back to old videos and adding the new mouths

[@ethansjsmith]

This is my absolute favourite BNL music video of all time; by like a long shot. Totally amazing.

[@pokeybadger]

This song/band/video is awesome!

[@structure_fire1034]

Such a good song..

[@TheSkyfolk]

Damn, this song stirs up a lot feelings. Video's pretty great, too.

[@CoreyOfTheCosmos]

the sentimentality doesnt look good on me line gets me everytime

[@MissShan]

Such a good song! Deflated and jaded I hate it when you call... which isn't at all Who hasn't felt this way at some point in time?

[@senatorsparky]

This always struck me as a very cool idea for a video, glad I rediscovered it

[@patricknoonan3610]

This a perfect late 90's early 20's end of a tv show song.

[@ScottOctober]

This is my fav song of there's I dont know why , but this and pinch me

[@newfiemale25]

nice clip of all their videos in one

[@sglgiles]

This song is so much on of my bestmates at the moment. Is very sad :( Great song, amazing band.

[@faeveriehooks]

so cool! it's pretty much a compilation of their music videos using a different song!

[@thebasskid9543]

This song is just great. I got nothing else to say other than that

[@CoreyOfTheCosmos]

why is it we always think the other person likes us more than they do?

[@Babarudra]

always the opposite for me. I never think people like me.

[@spxmet]

This reminds me of how many great videos they had...

[@faeveriehooks]

i've loved them since i was 3.

[@benji8216]

video kicks ass.

[@306chase]

awesome video love it

[@Humpipe]

Phenomenally edited.

[@lexilulubelle36]

me too! It was my dad's favorite

[@codenamewench]

this broke my heart in so many, many ways.

[@dablueman21]

Wow. I have not watched this music video till now. It really does seem like a goodbye to Steven Page, even more so than You Run Away is (which was half about him). And I can't help but wonder- How did they manage to get Ed and Steve to move their lips to these lyrics in all of their old music videos?? Some crazy editing?

[@jenniferbryan5775]

Definitely some editing happening. They likely did face shots of them singing the song and edited it over the original or used a mocap/CGI effect. If you look at the clip of Ed in the garage from Call and Answer, you can see the editing it. I agree, now that I see the vid again, it is like a "thanks Steve, it was fun"

[@patricksnavely5850]

It's possible there were some internal things going on in the band. We don't know...

[@Doommaster1994]

How did they do all of that?! Amazing!

[@huntere28]

@SuperPyst Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits

[@JGProductions6581]

1:57 LMAO.,

[@jettison27]

thanks man

[@shawnvmartin]

Mine too! The skip is recorded into the mp3 I have in iTunes. XD

[@rudeger66]

@Misslovefly The pepsi logos are really clear in the vid for the song "Enid". It's on KZbin

[@reganslaughter3986]

This video is so cool! they're lip-syncing to themselves! And I love this song of course

[@Sammy4549]

@Misslovefly The "pepsi" logo was part of their album cover for "Gordon". The Smashing pumpkins was from a video. I'm not sure which song.

[@faeveriehooks]

so epic!!!!!!!

[@rflp]

For me, this marks the end of the Classic BNL period. Maroon is their magnum opus, and this song is the coda. Even before Steven left, their later albums never hit the way those first five did. "No regrets."

[@Roosterboii]

@rudeger66 it's not the pepsi logo, the albumcover for gordon just happens to be blue/red/white.

[@rudeger66]

@Roosterboii Yup, I realize that...was just responding to someone else and thats the way he/she described the logo...just a tri-colored rubber ball is what it looks like to me.

[@Thunderbeer604]

Here's to our last goodnight, my darling. Don't ever look back.

[@EmerickSin]

ahhh I love this song ;) Too bad it's the ONE song on my CD that skips >.< figures.

[@Krazykurlzz]

Did you know that karaoke is Japanese for "empty orchestra"... isn't that hauntingly beautiful? ;)

[@SquareHeadSlacker]

Somebody with sense.

[@Djznsna]

i tried to sing this once but no on sings this better than them:D

[@Sprout3169]

what happened to the skip ad button?

[@CreatingPulsars]

@FatPatandTheTwigs1 I think they actually re-shot things but who knows, either way it was done extremely well

[@Conn3ctionT3rminated]

one of their singer's left. BNL will go on. also eds up is awesome

[@DeliaCore]

if you've heard there new album "all in good time" then you know that the barenaked ladies are just fine without page

[@djburtucky]

I love this song...... I got really plowed and karokeed it one night and dedicated it to an ex.......... that happened to be there that night....

[@W0lfMan26]

Ouch

[@saturnretrograde1986]

The anthem of my divorce. Bittersweet.

[@Imbakedbtw]

What's the first song in the video called? like right at 0:00

[@randyravivann2007]

this is when Muchmusic was good

[@YouShouldBeThere]

@willson3D you jinxed it!

[@MuriKakari]

What time?

[@niler0007]

Is Steve the lead singer before he lefft

[@jettison27]

what was the song at 0:12?

[@patricksnavely5850]

Call and Answer

[@SuperPyst]

what album is this from?

[@johnanderson211]

jon canpia roadied for this band true story

[@murlough23]

@TailsFiraga He left in early 2009. He was still present for Barenaked Ladies Are Me/Men and Snacktime!, but his role as a songwriter was starting to diminish as Ed, Jim, and Kevin began to contribute more songs.

[@cesarr956]

@randomQueen5000 fuckin' a, the song kicks ass, too!

[@Zeppelinguy666]

I wanna know how they filmed this

[@brainlock72]

I believe on the BareLaked Nadies video compilation dvd, if you watch the band commentary, Ed explains it was a great idea, but didn't realize the work it took to match the mouth positions for the overlays. He (and Steve) had to hold his head in the exact angle that it was in the video because the overlay was cheaper than real CGI.

[@KBAFourthtime]

Who will replace Steven Page, just as Kevin Hearn replaced Jim Creeggan's brother Andy?

[@lonelygnome1]

you're welcome.

[@dasikora0822]

I'm having a brain fart, anyone know what the song after pinch me is?

[@liverwurszt]

Call and Answer :)

[@christianatakyi6360]

+Mustachioed Man Call and Answer I think.

[@Sleazysadpanda]

i dont understand whats so confusing they just edited all there other videos together while i doubt it was easy its not really that hard to figure out how they did it.

[@colinmcmahon5829]

Consumer distributing, Brian's mum Housekeeping and listening to lox.

[@lawoman729]

Ummm yeah baby sure yeah right. Steven Page was The BOMB. That's why The Barenaked Ladies are still touring and playing to sell out crowds and The Steven Page trio is playing is where??? Steven Page was the DEAD WEIGHT of this group.

[@8BigBubba13]

@thekomodo100 Turns out they were growing apart anyways. The concaine was just the final nail in the coffin.

[@esthernoel]

@xcatfoodmanx It's still fun anyways !

[@Justin-A-Carter]

thanks BNL, indeed, that was fun :)

[@modifproductions]

Wee bit creepy but also very clever

[@TailsFiraga]

So, it's safe to assume that Steve left the band after "Everything to Everyone"?

[@patricksnavely5850]

I.think thats about right

[@davidl570]

No, it was after Barenaked Ladies Are Me and Barenaked Ladies Are Men (which were almost companion albums---they both came out around the same time). They even toured behind the former, at least. He left the band after that.

[@matthewdaub]

​@@davidl570 He left after snack time. He said that he felt like he was just along for the ride during that album and had no creative input on it. Pretty much saying ed had taken over the band at that point. Weather from a lack of caring for the band on Stevens part, or if ed forced him out of the creative process, is anyone's guess.

[@davidl570]

@@matthewdaub Okay, I stand corrected! Thanks for the info.

[@Ishmonkey]

As good as either of the singers are, they aren't as good as the harmony they formed together, it was really a perfect duo and the world is a little less bright because of their breakup

Alanis Morrissette ripped off this idea for one of her videos...............don't remember which song though.

[@brainlock72]

Any chance they could redo this and smooth out the overlay with proper CGI at some point? I know there are probably licensing issues with Steve and whatnot, but you can see Andy in a couple classic video shots, too.

[@newporg6887]

Canadian icons... so what he did coke, who hasen't

[@Roosterboii]

@rudeger66 oh ok, then i apologize ^^ sorry mate!

[@ariegrayson8126]

Did they write this when Steven Paige left?

[@ariegrayson8126]

***** yeah, i think i knew that... thanks :D

[@hollyraeraeful]

who cannot love BNL.. especially with Steven Page,, but even without.. .especially with, tho... :(

[@superfalconpunch2]

Press 1 to skip to the actual song...

[@flashmaster63]
