I think it's ironic that this is one of the best songs I've ever heard, and it's the song made to solicit donations for other songs... or maybe I don't understand irony. Regardless, excellent work! Looking forward to the album.
I'm not sure if I want to contribute because these girls are fantastically talented and have given me several internet songs I've loved, or because I have immense crushes on them. Either way, they win!
You guys are great and I would love to give you some money. I'm a young actress from NYC and you two have a great sound. Keep up the good work; I can't wait to hear the album. I will definitely post this video to my Facebook and share with some friends. Hopefully they can give some support as well. Best of luck, ladies!!
Well, that seals it. You all can have a big chunk of my money. You'll obviously do better things with it than I would! I'm sure other people will get you the 5% that's left to go. Very exciting!
When I have money to send, it'll be on the way. In the meantime, been spreading this video around on every message board, Facebook, Twitter and everything else I can think of. Also 'Liked" you so it'll be on my TH-cam too. Good luck; my money will be along too... eventually. =D Wish I could do more. You two are beautiful and awesome and you deserve success! ttyl
This is frickin' hilarious. I wish I had thought of it. Doh! I've been working on the business side of music (bleh. I'm decent at what i do - possibly even "good" at times, but I am just not much of a "business"-oriented person. I'm far more creative.) for (sadly) about 25 years - because I can't imagine anyone liking any of my own writing... and I've watched a *lot* of people have varied degrees of success and failure. I tend to write lyrics like these when I know the song might end up being played for anyone else - humor and self-deprecation just seem to be appropriate. (Not that anyone asked, but...) I love performing in front of anyone, whether it's for two friends in the back lounge of a tour bus or 5,000 people in a small hockey arena (because I needed to buy the tour i was tour managing 20 minutes of delay time due to a traffic nightmare with two artists stuck in a cab on the way to the venue - i played an acoustic folk medley of various G Funk songs. It was the most fun I've ever had during a tour crisis 😃). Kudos to you for making me laugh and reminding me that making music is a lot of fun. Also, thanks for lifting my mood. Last week was the first anniversary of my wife's death (sorry to be a bummer to anyone who reads this) - there are no words to fully describe how much I miss her, and I've been pretty down. This was a huge help - as the Cure (my favorite band of all time) has been (also Wir Sind Helden). Very little music has been able to lift my mood during this time - so, seriously... Thank you 😃 i know this was ten years ago - I hope you're still making hilarious music and will listen to a lot more of your creations in the coming days. All the best, Jason
People don't seem to realise that costs tend to stack up quite a bit when doing a full album.. paying for studio time.. paying the musicians what they're worth.. mixing, mastering.. not to mention pressing and distribution if you are making CDs..
I'm only sorry I didn't discover you until the other night; I would gladly have funded your album; but I'll buy this one and support the next. {:-). I'm going to listen to your playlist in the background while I'm raiding with friends tonight to keep my own aggro down. Once I've got a C.D., it'll be great on the road to calm potential road rage. P.S.: I hope you're including this number on the album. };~).
Does Canada count as international shipping? Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, so it always pays to ask. Also, if I pledged $75 + S&H, could I get three signed copies? I'd love to do a contest at the website I work at.
I want to give you money. I don't have any money. I am unlikely to acquire money in the near future. I wish I could alter this situation, but I don't think it's possible. Should this situation change, I will send you money.
Don't even respond to the guys calling you scammers, to start they are not considering that your time and creativity also has worth, its their opinion sure but iam sure when they hear your cd theyll regret their comments, so, i know you dont play much attention but ignoring is even better ;)
This is one of my favorite Crowdfunding videos! Way to go, team!
Yeeeeeeeees I randomly found this in a list of top 12 Indiegogo pitch videos of 2012. You ladies rocked this so hard. Love it!

I would give money... if I, myself, didn't live quarter to quarter found in couch :) Keep it up
i kinda love this
An album, particularly one that is done with just vocals and an acoustic guitar, only costs a fraction of what you're asking.
Can't wait for the album, will contribute money for a CD version at some point before Halloween... hurray minimum wage!
>Asks for money to fund project
>Provides excellent example of what said project will sounds like
I can't wait.
its kinda what Young the Giant did with the song Cough Syrup back when they were called The Jakes... ugh I looove your videos sooo good
Agreed! Also, consider putting it lower on screen and displaying it longer.
I just noticed you are working with Adam, nice dude, spoke highly of you on Get Up On This.
Well, that seals it. You all can have a big chunk of my money. You'll obviously do better things with it than I would!
I'm sure other people will get you the 5% that's left to go. Very exciting!
I just noticed you hit $10,000. Congrats.
God that was amazing.
Greatest funding request in youtube! :D

So excited for this! I just donated. Now I need to get all my friends to do the same.

Haha, I keep losing my glasses, but thankfully they always turn up again.
Short or long sighted? Trying to decide which is more annoying :P
I donated for a hard copy of the album :)
Yay

What if you are the special lady I have been eyeing... WHAT THEN?!
What happens if these ones break? :P
#Sharmy. You sound awesome btw :)
WOW i Like your Voice. You two Are Talented and Very Beautiful, i can Tell.
How much should I add for international shipping for the hard copy of your album?
shhhhh... I'm trying to help here! :D
I am also subscribing and telling my friends, but they are all dust bunnies. Is that okay?
GARFUKLE AND OATS-y
dude you get tips!? I get minimum wage and giant taxes and union fees...*donates*
I want to give you money. I don't have any money. I am unlikely to acquire money in the near future. I wish I could alter this situation, but I don't think it's possible. Should this situation change, I will send you money.
ten THOUSAND dollars??!!
Shawn told me to give you money or else.
What do I have to donate for your broken glasses! Want! >:O
Can I still buy the $500 package?
Cute girls! :)
make a band!
S'ported! I've enjoyed your music via @shawnvmartin for some time.
She spent all her monies on new glasses. :(

lol scammers. This doesn't cost anywhere near $10,000. I would love your music, but that much money is lol-worthy.
wow so true love to do a cover of this
