Jim Carrey Covers "Creep" At Arlene's Grocery -- The Real Video

High Quality, edited, NOT from a cell phone, provided by the good people at Arlene's Grocery. Carey starts out by joking, "This is my new anthem," something you don't see in the viral video and an obvious reference to his recent video about Emma Stone. This was recorded September 9th. He does a great job!

My opinion as a vocalist: he poured his heart out in this song. He might not be a gifted singer, but I truly believe he really did his best and was expressing deep emotions and love for this song. It honestly makes me happy because he wasn't really that bad and it takes sooooo much courage to do what he did. Perhaps easier because of his fame but in some ways harder to be taken serious being known as a comedian. Personally, I found this pretty interesting.

Have you ever listened to a different song from Radiohead? They're the furthest thing from uplifting and wholesome messages. The point of the song is how the singer stalked a girl in college because she was beautiful and angelic in his eyes but questions why he's doing it, ultimately getting drunk enough to talk to her and scaring her away. It's a story, it says what it means, there's no underlying concepts or positivity, it's just pain and anguish.

Actually comedians on the level of Robin Williams often made me question "What is he hiding" to have such constant and spontaneous reactions to everything and anything that was said. I do not mean to diminish his MONUMENTAL talent but looking through the lens of a psychological observation, diversion is one of the greatest tools that a manic depressive has in their arsenal. The crux of the dilemma is they want help but don't want to ask for it hence the outward obscuring of said problem.

Disagree with the generalization 'Comedians are secretly depressed.' On stage they make fun of themselves or others to express on the spectator's behalf what bothers, burdens or interests him or her.

The irony is: George Martin (Beatles producer) put out an album near the end of his life -- I *think* it was called "In My Life" -- which featured people he admired performing songs of the Beatles, and Jim Carrey's "I Am the Walrus" made me really double-take. It was an absolutely stand-out track, and formerly I barely had any idea he could even carry a tune. He absolutely *nailed* that song, and not only did he completely make it his own, but I feel it holds up against the original version, believe it or not. Sure, he probably had limitless takes to perfect it, but the guy undoubtedly has pipes. (And I imagine Lennon had a few tries, himself.) Solely because of that track, I'll easily overlook this performance as a drunken and/or emotional one-off. The George Martin track is *very* much worth looking up. In fact (forgive me-- I never ask this), if anyone can upvote this comment so I can find it again, I'll do everything in my power to return with an edit that links to Jim's "I Am the Walrus," so you can hear for yourself. (Respect, Mr. Carrey, and R.I.P., Mr. Martin) Edit: I found the Walrus track with ease, and getting back here wasn't actually so hard after all, but I'm gonna leave my original post intact and just drop this off: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2Gqq2iwl6yChM0

This is LITERALLY my favorite cover of this song. Mainly because you can tell how much fun he is having and how good the energy is. You don’t need a perfect voice to be a singer. I’ve seen professional bands tank because their energy was off and they weren’t having fun with it. Protect this man at all cost!

Just realised Jim Carrey could've totally played Phoenix's Joker. He actually has great drama acting range and can do amazing facial tics. This is a man who could play a great many characters with remarkable depth... but he just doesn't like doing them for some reason.

[@ckdeeb]

holy shit why is that so true

[@darrenb9359]

well when he does them he goes off the rails a tad

[@Oscarji888]

He could and he should. Maybe it's because he won't or that he just doesn't get cast? He is my favourite actor by a landslide, but he is so unique that he's basically created his own genre, which might make it tricky for directors to "take a chance" on him...

[@TFerguson1028]

The fact that he can sing it well, and still feels he has to clown... is it because he's so immersed in being silly, comical that it just comes, or is it his shield from the world, and he felt too vulnerable without it? Couple moments in there I felt like he showed more than he wanted to....

This performance was very good in a punk rock sort of way. As was said before he clowns around, but still conveys raw emotion that really sells the song.
