The Postal Service Auditions

[@TheMisterParsons]

How have i gone this long without this excellence?!? Tom Delonge? Duff? Weird Al?!?!?!?! Moby?? I'm ovewhelmed. So Outstanding! Love y'all.

[@mikeomatic9905]

I just discovered this today, so you're 6 months ahead of me!

[@krupboom]

Same!! HOW?!! Superb

[@sgilrein]

Scharpling and Wurster are America’s best thing, ever.

[@juanl0b0]

10 months ahead of me.

[@jules6631]

"I'm from sunny day real estate" "oh im more of a remax guy myself"

[@rosegreen2787]

😂

[@kimstheworst]

I would still absolutely adore a full cover of Aimee Mann singing "Clark Gable". I think about this all the time.

[@dther1878]

Its a hilarious set up visually, but wow that blew me away. Super sad she doesn't have a full version

[@mondobizzzarro]

While we're at it, I'd love to hear her takes on some DCFC too... something like "sound of settling", or "heart is an empty room".

[@nicholasrodriguez698]

Aimee Mann makes Clark Gable sound so good acoustic. I WANT A COVER!

[@Dmyra]

i think there is one

[@NickSealPueo]

@@Dmyra If there is one, please share where it could be found. I've always wanted to hear a full cover from her.

[@negative-wishing-well]

have y'all seen this? egg-celent aimee mann video directed by the same person who did this kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnKUlItjrMyAmq8

[@sammy_]

I... I never thought I'd watch a shirtless and bald man scream and wreak havoc on a recording studio while the instrumental to Such Great Heights plays.

[@jigglycarollo805]

Because that instrumental is so great anything in front of it is made better by it.

[@jeremyviromek]

hey man that not just a bald man, thats Moby

[@TorryDidntDoAnything]

Learn some respect, Moby the theme to the Bourne movies

[@hateferlife]

Just got back from the DCFC/The Postal Service show in New Haven, CT. Fantastic. Thanks to the bands and crew for a memorable experience!

[@Virvellian]

the world needs an album with weird al covering the postal service

[@poemedufeu]

You mean Denny and the fun blasters

[@importuner06]

When Ben finally was up there & then started singing... Goosebumps instantly.

[@MrPDTaylor]

I have them right now

[@largepoodle6036]

"I don't need this indie.. fuckin... shit" lmfao how have i never seen this

[@drummerdude0317]

"kids like energy, they do. I've seen it" - Tom Delonge

[@mightylo5980]

A legend

[@SpaceJazz3K]

So much talent used for such short gags. Just amazed to be going to see the postal service live!

[@sullygoren7991]

Cause like what even is music you know

[@IanEckie]

The first guy that comes on stage is the drummer for The Mountain Goats and Superchunk. Freaking love him..

[@random__itch]

I watched this a couple years ago before I knew who Marc Maron was and when I watched it the other week I laughed my ass off at his scene. He's my favorite part of this video, hands down.

[@InfiniteOasis]

This was hillarious....is it just me or does Ben Gibbard look like a different person every time I see him?

[@johnreed9435]

He looks like Gord Downie in this video

[@jesst.6268]

That’s the magic of a wig

[@IAmSippycup]

Aimee Mann and Duff McKagan also appeared on Portlandia for essentially the same joke. Is there just a reserve of musicians on standby for cameo work?

[@liammgill]

YA BOI TOM DELONGE

[@SnortnSnowflakes]

Weird Al killed it! Loved it.

[@couferroygir]

"He likes that! That's hilarious." Oh Marc Maron

[@mrmagoo8510]

Weird Al man! "Sure you don't want to go with the accordion guy, he rocked."

[@NickHered]

Tom Delonge & Moby made this video for me haha

[@andylanden]

For 7 years and change, I didn't know this existed. It's so good.

[@sujtinable]

Bens hair.

[@YouBredRaptorsMusic]

years later..... and i just want a full album of Weird Al Postal Service Covers

[@SeventhSwell]

Please, please tell me there's a full version of Aimee Mann covering Clark Gable. That sounded amazing.

[@BlueSomeday]

Weird Al was fire.

[@cherryarriaga]

I have such strong amazing memories filled with happiness and love tied to this whole album. Thank you. ❤

[@DreamwalkerFilms]

Thoughts: 1. That performance was the polar opposite of what I expected from what I know about Moby 2. I never ever ever thought I would see Weird Al cover the Postal Service

[@seandonnelly5589]

I guess you've never seen Moby live then.

[@sobamonkey]

How the hell did they get all these greats together?! Such a great project and still fresh today.

[@UndeadRocks98]

I wish Tom DeLonge had a longer part.

[@nothingnessforever-w1g]

a delonger part

[@nintendonarutofan]

holy crap that acoustic Clark Gable sounded amazing

[@000jpg000]

I come back and watch this once every other year or so

[@morriman0987]

Tom Delonge cracks me up!

[@hereisjamz]

If Weird Al made a Postal Service cover album, I'd buy it.

[@craig2gpa]

I would do almost anything to have Aimee Mann actually sing that song or do covers of all of the Postal Service...

[@MattOLOLOL]

"We comb through Myspace, Friendster, all the sites..." Lol 2003

[@wednesday181]

I need Aimee Mann doing acoustic versions of so many songs, including & ESPECIALLY Clark Gable. This belongs in my life.

[@chrisoliver123]

I dig Moby's music but I think this might be the coolest thing he's ever done!

[@iammccloud6114]

TOM DELONGE!! :D

[@racynot]

"All that was on purpose." Marc Maron is a god.

[@tim.van.emmerloot]

I know him from Glow, and now seeing him here is hilarious

[@theseaward4613]

OMG i've watched this like a dozen times and am only just now getting that the keyboard that "needs to be smaller" is a microkorg lol

[@GrahamCrannell]

the Weird Al part unironically slaps. I'm pretty sure there are more than a couple accordion parts on Give Up

[@itsoverrecords]

never get old... thank you

[@hkhjg1734]

damn i wish rivers was in this

[@GradyNickel]

I don't know how I missed this but it's f**king hilarious

[@gammaphonic]

I can hardly believe this video marking the 10th anniversary of Give Up is now 10 years old.

[@michaeledesmond]

so many good choices, 1)Moby.2) weid al 3) duff 4) mark marion

[@Mrrabott]

the weird al cover is freakin awsome!

[@TheGreenestG]

I've seen this a lot of times; it never gets old.

[@Idunnowhyimhere]

this is like the best thing i've seen all day. only better after seeing them play last night

[@jamescanzoneri1698]

Duff...best part in this whole bit!

[@DV-zv4ox]

THE MOBY SCENE HOLY SHIT

[@gylandibbs]

Moby ahead of the curve with the Confide version like 5 years early

[@jac8137]

HOLY SHIT I CAME HERE CAUSE THE POSTAL SERVICE BUT THEN TOM DELONGE COMES ONSTAGE AND WHAT?1//111//???

[@9InchesOfNoMercy]

now i kinda wanna hear aimee mann finish that cover

[@rexmonster12]

This is actually the greatest video on KZbin

[@thebrinksf69]

Aimee Mann would be a perfect person to work with Jimmy Tamborello

[@LuisManuelPachecoSegoviano]

Awsome, I bet only a few would get the whole thing about it. For whatever reason they were my soundtrack to a long, long driving trip beguinning in LA and ending in central México.

[@toxicpanda09]

i like how jimmy's expression is the same the whole time! xD thank god the postal service is returning! now my life is once again complete

[@ArwenFonzen]

i personally loved weird Al on accordion!! great cover of Silhouettes! Also-was Ben wearing a wig?

[@pguyFLC]

This video deserves a couple more million views. . .

[@TheKaleb100]

Ben is wearing a wig because this is supposed to take place when postal service just started a few years back, and this is how he had his hair then.

[@intanmuliani2764]

TOM DELONGE from San Diego... Punk rock!!! \m/

[@jaynesaysz]

how have i never seen this? moby is my fave.

[@carl_lindquist]

Enjoyed this video! All the best!!

[@ScottCovers]

I would put most of the money I've earned in this life into a Weird Al "Give Up" tribute album as a Kickstarter project.

[@Victoryisalways]

This was SO funny! The dude at 4:58 was insane! I'm so glad Ben won the auditions. Perfect match, them two.

[@ApocalypseMoose]

Moby could honestly be in a harsh noise or power electronics act doing that bit.

[@DV-zv4ox]

lol @ tom delonges face at the end of his part

[@NESADDICT]

Haha Tom Delonge was on here.

[@Loafhi]

One of the best videos.

[@onlythingicouldthink]

Give Up turned 20 just a couple weeks ago !!! 😭

[@CTCNathan]

The Moby bit was pure gold!

[@cottydonquixote]

This was GREAT! Loved it. I'm so cool music ignorant that I didn't get half the jokes. In all the time I was a "muso" I never did auditions, this video shows you why. I was in a band that was independent of the music industry & consequently got nowhere fast. Perversely that's a badge of honour to egotistical shits like me. As regards the vid, I was a bit worried to see Moby smashing his fist into the table. I think he'll regret doing that - it must have hurt. I saw Aimee Mann in Manchester years ago, with my mate Locky, we both agreed that it was 1 of the worst gigs (enjoyment wise) we'd ever been. The audience loved it. I think we were the only 2 there who didn't. No reflection on Aimee, we were both very lucky to have been so many gigs previously that were so fucking good. Locky went to infinitely more than me. But that was largely due to me being busy with my own shit (SHIT).

[@jaksee1465]

I GOT SO FUCKING HAPPY WHEN TOM DELONGE CAME UP

[@Hoserdd]

This is AMAZEBALLS!

[@Vitamindevo]

OMG moby freaking out is classic!!!! awesome sauce

[@kmmk292929]

I loved seeing Nate

[@dajakamo]

I wish there was more Postal Service...

[@landryprichard6778]

"It's Axle, Slash, the guy in the top hat and Buckethead." 😆😆😂😂

[@Martdogg3000]

Weird Al fucking dominates this song it's so good.

[@benjaminferrell8221]

weird al killed it !

[@AlexNiedt]

Pure awesomeness.

[@jfrsnjhnsn]

Page from Helmet tore it upppp

[@ericfoster8411]

Ben gibbard is an ever evolving russet potato human. He looks like he morphs just a lil bit everytime I see him.

[@bondfool]

Jon Daly is brilliant in this.

[@donnaspears1970]

This was hilarious! Thank you

[@ilonagunszebn]

haha, that was so great, loved it

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

Still waiting for that Postal Helmet album.

[@AidanBuckleyLUFC]

TOM DELONGE!!!!!!

[@TheJbo614]

This is AWESOME!!!!

[@rferia539]

Marc Maron's bit is hilarious

[@rad1oclash]

Out of all the lyrics, Weird Al sang the perfect lyrics for him. I would so buy that album.

[@tessensohn420]

That was delightful

[@mattwesney]

"I think we both hate bass" I died

[@tannerin]

If only it had really happened like this...

[@ericfoster8411]

Tom was great

[@mattie2007]

So much fun, Thanks!

[@Marcury84]

I still want some Aimee Mann postal service tracks.

[@mattcasas776]

Lookin forward to the Houston show!!
