This song became a defining aspect of my personality after living through some rough shit. I’m glad I found this band. Manic revelry and hedonism is better than being 6 feet under.
I just discovered this band from listening to demented radio, "the crack of doom" I loved it so I did a TH-cam search with hopes to hear more of this fabulous, surreal, group and what a wonderfully satisfying discovery indeed. This group is fascinating, freaky, and fantastic! Pausing my previous passionate pastime pursuing the wonderfully pitiful puddles to dive deep into these terrific tiger lilies.
I remember when I was a very little boy, our house caught on fire I'll never forget the look on my father's face, as he gathered me up in his arms, and raced through the burning building, out to the pavement And I stood there shivering, in my pajamas, and watched the whole world, go up in flames And when it was all over, I said to myself, " - Is that all there is to a Fire? " [Chorus] Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball well if that's all there is And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth There were clowns and elephants, and dancing bears And a beautiful lady, in pink tights, flew high above our heads As I sat there watching, I had the feeling that something was missing I don't know what it was but, when it was all over, I said to myself, " - Is that all there is to a Circus? " [Chorus] Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball, if that's all there is And then I fell in love, with the most wonderful girl in the world We'd take long walks, down by the river, or just sit there for hours, gazing into each other's eyes We were very much in love Then one day, she went away, and I thought I'd die, but I didn't die And when I didn't, I said to myself " - Is that all there is to Love? " Is that all there is? is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep... I know what you, must be saying to yourselves "If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?" Oh, no. Not me I'm not ready for that final disappointment Cause I know, just as well as I'm standing here, talking to you tonight, and when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself " - Is that all there is, to Death? " [Chorus] Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is, If that's all there is ... ----- / Inspired by Thomas Mann’s short story, “Disillusionment”.

Written by Leiber and Stoller about 1967. Famously recorded by Peggy Lee. "The song was inspired by the 1896 story "Disillusionment" by Thomas Mann. Jerry Leiber's wife Gaby Rodgers (née Gabrielle Rosenberg) was born in Germany and lived in the Netherlands. She escaped ahead of the Nazis, settling in Hollywood where she had a brief film career. Rodgers introduced Leiber to the works of Thomas Mann. The lines "Is that all there is to a fire?/Is that all there is/is that all there is?" and three of the events in the song (the fire, failed love, imagined death) are based on the narrator's words in Mann's story; the central idea of both the short story and the song are the same." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is_That_All_There_Is%3F
I saw them at ATP in Minehead about 6 or 7 years ago. They were superb: that's why I nearly dropped dead when I saw what you'd written. Oh well. Nothing to lose by contacting them and suggesting an Irish date? All the best.
A truly great interpretation of the song that was written by American songwriting team Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller during the 1960s and that became one of the greatest hits of Peggy Lee: th-cam.com/video/LCRZZC-DH7M/w-d-xo.html Thank you, Tiger Liilies, for reviving this song in your genius way!!! Love you.
Wow! Finally, somebody wrote a song about my life! I am just getting a little bit paranoid, how do they know it? Or is it that accidentally we all have been brought to the same circus?
Unfortunately, I missed them when they came to my city this year because I was away... Something I'll damn myself for forever or at least until the next chance.
I was kinda disappointed when I've seen the link to this video on Facebook. Because I love The Tiger Lillies, but this cover seemed too obvious, almost lazily obvious. Like Tim Burton remaking Alice in Wonderland level of obvious. But being here, listening to this... I have to admit this is absolutely epic...
Hello, I think this version owes much more to Cristina’s version than Peggy Lee’s (which was a hit for her but not necessarily the first to sing it, she didn’t write it either). Cristina gave it new lyrics and attitude, it’s still my favorite version.
Reprobates travel home at night, they die without conscience or even a fight. If you still hear whispers of hope my friend, speak to it now before the end.
Сложно, но непривычно однозначно!!! Прикольно что никто не будет это читать, потому что ВЫ считаете то ли нас отсталыми то ли недоразвитыми то ли (о как модно нас сейчас обзывать АГРЕССОРАМИ - бредятина). Ну а с текстами - обратиться можно к Шекспиру, Гомеру, Шекли, Байрону ну и продолжать можно до посинения... и бороды! Но крутяк!!!
Amazing song, classic Tiger Lillies cynicism! The video though is just horrible The random people in the audience are so off putting. Poorly conceived and poorly executed.
I stumbled upon your comment today. I have read it carefully, from beginning to end. And when it was all over, I said to myself... Do you know what I said to myself? Do you? "-Is that all there is to criticism?" Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing. Let's break out the booze and have a ball, if that's all there is...
This is awful and totally misunderstands what makes this a wonderful song. There’s so much busy needlessly complicated weirdness to the performance that doesn’t add pathos or thematic resonance. It’s just post anonymous guy fawkes mask quirk. This sucks.

Brilliant! You have no no idea what finding you means to me. Thank you for being here during my lifetime.
You beautiful, weird, magical people. Thank you for everything you've given us.

I read a book written in the 1800's that said there will be one day commercials in the middle of music videos.

I remember when I was a very little boy,
our house caught on fire
I'll never forget the look on my father's face,
as he gathered me up in his arms,
and raced through the burning building,
out to the pavement
And I stood there shivering, in my pajamas,
and watched the whole world, go up in flames
And when it was all over, I said to myself,
" - Is that all there is to a Fire? "
[Chorus]
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
well if that's all there is
And when I was 12 years old,
my father took me to the circus,
the greatest show on earth
There were clowns and elephants, and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady, in pink tights, flew high above our heads
As I sat there watching,
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what it was but,
when it was all over, I said to myself,
" - Is that all there is to a Circus? "
[Chorus]
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball,
if that's all there is
And then I fell in love,
with the most wonderful girl in the world
We'd take long walks, down by the river,
or just sit there for hours, gazing into each other's eyes
We were very much in love
Then one day, she went away,
and I thought I'd die, but I didn't die
And when I didn't, I said to myself
" - Is that all there is to Love? "
Is that all there is? is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep...
I know what you, must be saying to yourselves
"If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?"
Oh, no.
Not me
I'm not ready for that final disappointment
Cause I know, just as well as I'm standing here,
talking to you tonight,
and when that final moment comes
and I'm breathing my last breath,
I'll be saying to myself
" - Is that all there is, to Death? "
[Chorus]
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is,
If that's all there is ...

Mi canción favorita, con mi banda favorita, que más se puede pedir.
Great song, wonderful video. I can't wait to experience this when you come to play Vicar Street Dublin.
When are they playing Vicar street, I can't find it listed?
Sorry Stephen it's been going on a while now me trying to get them to play here, just a joke. I would love to see them live.
I saw them at ATP in Minehead about 6 or 7 years ago. They were superb: that's why I nearly dropped dead when I saw what you'd written. Oh well. Nothing to lose by contacting them and suggesting an Irish date? All the best.
Bloody Amazing as always.
wundERvolle musik, da muss ich unbedingt meinen daumen nach oben klicken. DANKE

Awesome video!

Just order the recording. You just gave me the idea. 😜
When will you come back to Colombia? Can't wait for this
Ich warte sehnsüchtig auf das neue Album! Noch 42 Tage :-)

It's like I'm listening to Dobby singing this song.
Why are no credits given to Peggy lee?She was the one that originally sang this right?
Thanks for the info, I didn't know. I have to admit that the Tiger Lillies do the song a huge lot better though :)
Hello, I think this version owes much more to Cristina’s version than Peggy Lee’s (which was a hit for her but not necessarily the first to sing it, she didn’t write it either). Cristina gave it new lyrics and attitude, it’s still my favorite version.
The first authorised recording was by Leslie Uggams.
как всегда шедевр
apparently filmed in Wobblevision
Is that all there is to this new Tiger Lillies single? 10 minutes 22 seconds?... but strangely addictive as usual.
Peggy lee FTW
Мартин Жак всегда ВЕЛИКОЛЕПЕН ...
I just found this band. Can anybody recommend that which album would be good album to start?
Bouquet Of Vegetables maybe?
Freakshow
Great! Anyone got lyrics tho? I can't catch what he's saying in the chorus beginning before the line about breaking out booze... ??
If that's all there is, then let's keep dancing, let's break out the booze and have a ball.
"if thats all there is then lets keep dancing"
Les Claypool on a bad LSD trip
Soho response to the residents in my opinion
Any one remember Cristina's version? My mother set the house on fire, she was like that.
Блять,шедевр!!!Чудовищно прекрасны!!!
And just when I thought the art of music making videos was dead. I found out that wasn’t all there is
What!
What a dreadful masterpiece!!! Straight from the gutter for the suffering souls of this vain world! Couldn't do better!
What a beautiful description
it's an interpretation of an old song:

I knew Joker had to retire one day. Good retirement hobby he chosen though.
Go away
