Lyrics:
It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side
and said I'm angry
Five days since you laughed at me saying
Get that together come back and see me
Three days since the living room,
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish,
Although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
Cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like Leann Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin, achin shake
I like vanilla, It's the finest of the flavors
Gotta see the show,
Cause then you'll know
The Vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
You'll have to sign a waiver
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said you're crazy
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on,
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic
Like Sting I'm Tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurosawa I make mad films
Okay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
You soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said I'm sorry
Five days since I laughed at you and said
You just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

[@Typhlosion4President]

Anyone who can recite all of the lyrics to this song wins my respect.

[@Lolidella82]

When this song came out I seriously practiced it over and over again until I could sing the whole thing. I still can all these years later haha

[@pvtrichter8816]

Typhlosion4President you do need some considerable diction skills to recite this one!! [I'M SURE THERE'S A CHALLENGE FOR THIS SOMEWHERE ON THE NET!!] KEEP GOOD MUSIC ALIVE!!

[@ShiningNova1]

Typhlosion4President It looks impressive but really, it's easy. The song nly goes for about 2 min 30 secs and half of that is the chorus and pre-chorus which only changes a bit.

[@pvtrichter8816]

Shining Nova right !! your on then my next challenge is to cover this!! enjoy the morning!

[@jonettheonly]

All I know is "it's been one week since you looked at me" and "I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a habit of taking off my shirt". I like the song more for the Digimon nostalgia.

[@rocketgeek96]

No matter how many times I come back to this video I still can't believe that in the era of the 90s, when Boyz II Men and Mariah dominated Billboard with an iron fist, this song managed to become the number one song in the USA. And they held that spot for exactly _one week._

I was at a con in 2019 waiting in line for a voice actor's autograph, and this one guy who was pretty sloshed (it was an open-drinking con) was somehow able to perfectly recite this song as it was playing on the speakers. Whoever you are, Drunk Con Guy, I appreciate you.

[@RavenStarMedia]

A redub of the Digimon Movie was just announced, so now I'm back here listening to this song. One Week is permanently tied to that movie in my mind.

[@horrormonger1]

Fun fact: the 'movie' is actually the first 4 Digimon Adventure films cut and pieced together into one film, with a bunch of footage from 3 and 4 cut out due to time allotment that shouldn't have been cut because it's crucial to the storyline. That song was only used for the crappy US edit of the film. Hopefully the redub you're referring to is gonna be the uncut versions with the original Japanese music/score.

[@rollypolly3742]

the dub version unexpectedly created a superior version than the Japanese version of the movie

[@nodatesape9124]

Same.

[@grahtman]

​@horrormonger1 I actually learned this pretty recently because I wanted to show the Digimon Movie to my 8 and 4 year old. When were watching it I was think "this is like 3 different movies in one" and I later found out it literally was lol

[@Syncopiia]

​@@horrormonger1 They said they're redubbing them both as the combined American version and the three Japanese ones.

One of my most memorable experiences involving the song "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies happened during my college years. It was a warm spring evening, and my friends and I decided to organize a karaoke night at our favorite local bar. As the night progressed and more people took turns singing their favorite tunes, the energy in the bar was contagious. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, cheers, and the occasional off-key performance. I was enjoying the diverse range of songs being sung when suddenly, "One Week" started playing over the speakers. Instantly, the crowd erupted with excitement. It seemed like everyone knew the song and couldn't resist joining in. The familiar fast-paced lyrics of "One Week" echoed throughout the bar, and people started singing and dancing along, completely caught up in the infectious rhythm. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response, I decided to take the stage and give it a shot. I grabbed the microphone and started singing along with all my might. The lyrics flew by at lightning speed, and I did my best to keep up with the rapid-fire delivery, even though some parts were a bit of a tongue twister. To my surprise, as I sang, more and more people joined in, creating an impromptu chorus. Strangers became instant collaborators, shouting out the catchy lines and harmonizing with me. It was a fantastic moment of unity and shared joy as we all came together through the power of music. By the time the song ended, the entire bar was buzzing with energy and excitement. Strangers were high-fiving and hugging, sharing in the collective experience we had just created. The atmosphere remained vibrant throughout the night, with the positive energy lingering long after "One Week" had faded into the background. That evening, the song "One Week" became a symbol of the incredible connections that can be forged through music. It reminded me of the power of a catchy tune to bring people together, even if just for a fleeting moment. Whenever I hear "One Week" now, I'm transported back to that unforgettable night of spontaneous karaoke and the magic it brought to our lives.

Lyrics: It's been one week since you looked at me Cocked your head to the side and said I'm angry Five days since you laughed at me saying Get that together come back and see me Three days since the living room, I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you Yesterday you'd forgiven me But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry Hold it now and watch the hoodwink As I make you stop, think You'll think you're looking at Aquaman I summon fish to the dish, Although I like the Chalet Swiss I like the sushi Cause it's never touched a frying pan Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes Big like Leann Rimes Because I'm all about value Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits You try to match wits You try to hold me but I bust through Gonna make a break and take a fake I'd like a stinkin, achin shake I like vanilla, It's the finest of the flavors Gotta see the show, Cause then you'll know The Vertigo is gonna grow Cause it's so dangerous, You'll have to sign a waiver How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Can't understand what I mean? Well, you soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of taking off my shirt It's been one week since you looked at me Threw your arms in the air and said you're crazy Five days since you tackled me I've still got the rug burns on both my knees It's been three days since the afternoon You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon Yesterday you'd forgiven me And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry Chickity China the Chinese chicken You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin' Watchin X-Files with no lights on, We're dans la maison I hope the Smoking Man's in this one Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic Like Sting I'm Tantric Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy Like Kurosawa I make mad films Okay I don't make films But if I did they'd have a samurai Gonna get a set of better clubs Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back swing Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes That make me think the wrong thing How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Can't understand what I mean? You soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of losing my shirt It's been one week since you looked at me Dropped your arms to your sides and said I'm sorry Five days since I laughed at you and said You just did just what I thought you were gonna do Three days since the living room We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do?
