- Thank you for watching our video and we hope you enjoyed watching it as much as we did making it (A lot. The correct answer is a lot).
F.A.Q.
Q: Is he singing or is he just lip-syncing? I firmly believe music videos featuring lip-syncing are the bane of cinematic existence.
A: The majority of music videos in existence use lip-syncing, so in that respect, yes, he is lip syncing. No, he isn't the singer of the song, but yes, he was singing while filming, and his audio was cut in post.
Q. Why do some scenes have blinking lights and then in the next shot they are gone?
A. The video takes on the stance that the teacher is imagining the majority of the more glamorous events. Also, improper planning.
Q. And then at the end the papers flying everywhere disappear too! What gives? I'll stab you for this!
A. Same as the prior answer. He is imagining the more glamorous events. But no improper planning there.
Q. Obligatory camera question?
A. I have no idea. Its a rather small Sony camera.
A2. I've just been informed that it is a Sony HVR-A1U. We enjoyed using it, if you must know.
Q. Where was this filmed?
A. In a class room. Its better if I don't go into details.
Q. Will you sign my (insert body part)?
A. No, but you can give us money.
Q. How much?
A. How much you got?
Q. I don't know, like 10 bucks.
A. That'll do.
Q. Well, I kind of need it.
A. Well, so do we!
Q. Oh. Okay! Here you go!
A. Thanks!

Hello! Director here. I have no idea why or how this video still remains relevant over a decade later, but believe me when I say it sincerely warms my heart to know it's had such an insanely positive effect on so many of you. You are all the best!
as long as lectures have empty rooms - this vid will always be relevant
Seen this vid a long time ago, before i even knew anything about e6, then i forgot about this video for over a decade, and now i see it again, remembering the thing just by seeing the first few seconds... Wow... Been a while... And now i actually know of e6 and like their stuff, so it makes the whole thing even more interesting as a tangent from the past...
It's honestly so well done that it just stuck with so many of us. Hell it's so well done that at one point I assumed it was the official music video for the song lol
I come back to this regularly over the years. Brilliant stuff. Great job.
Thanks.
I only just realised that this wasn't the official video.
I don't care what anyone says, this guy in this video right here is officially The Bomb and always will be.
what do you mean this isn't the official video?
Ron Swanson: it's Art, anything is anything or everything is everything. =) Art!
yeah, "official" or not, this is the legitimate music video as it adds to the song.
I just realised this today. I have thought this was an official video for all these years...
hahhhhha, true that brother
YEARS later and I'm still coming back to this video. It has to be the best fan-made video for any song ever made
I’ve seen Electric Six a million times over the years and this may still be their best piece of business. 😂
This video and the fan made one for MGMTs Kids are the best 👌
They are awesome!!! I've seen them in 4 different cities and they were always great!
Check out Awolnation's SAIL. Fanmade awesomeness as well
It is so good!❤🤣
Hey guys, director here! We thank you for your continued liking of our music video! Maybe one day E6 will see this and let us make them an official video! I promise if that happened, it would be just as ridiculous, if not more.
I thought this was the official video! I obviously need to become a bigger fan!
its been 6 years and a million views later and they've never seen it?
Well, if they've seen it, they have yet to let us know.
LOL this video made my high school
Hurribrain have you tweeted them? they seem pretty active on twitter
This is exactly how I feel every time I hear an Electric Six song. I don't know why, they just make me feel so awesome.
As long as youtube is concerned, this IS the official video.
best unofficial video ever
SAIL - AWOLNATION (Unofficial Video)
@@imkingmailru close second this is pure gold...
It took me a while to realize that, so good it´s done :-)
@@imkingmailru I know what I'm playing after this track. Bloody awesome tune, and the grinding the crack video... Just yes. Yes.
I totally had no idea and i've been watching this for years. Thank you for pointing that out.
this should have been the official video.
you guys did so much with so little. masterpiece.
I love you Dee
I was always curious what the band's thoughts would be on this. I'm sure they love it.
I thought it was.
super pleased to find this is still here after all this time, in my mind, this is THE definitive version of I'm the Bomb, guy knocked it out of the park.
holy shit this must be the most Electric Six fanvid ever made
fucking EXCELLENT
We would of course love if we got more hits, but we are so incredibly stoked that it got this many views. There is lots of gold to be found on youtube that's been on longer than our video but has way less hits, so its really awesome that we made it this far.
12 years on mate and we're still here enjoying it 👏👏
Fantastic video! ❤️
I think your hitting the algorithm as this just got front page recommended to me so good luck, great video.
this is 100% the official video and always will be.
If the internet was being deleted, and I could only save one thing, it would be this.
8 years later and it is still perfect.
I disagree, it has only gotten better with age. It is now ultra perfect.
6 years later and this comment is still perfect
Wait shit I thought this was the official video.
Good fucking job-
Hahahahaha, seems like it would be doesn't it?
We get that a lot. We've even tried contacting the band to no avail.
same here lmao
Interdasting =) This video Was AMAZING beyond Epic, It should have been their Official one! THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE MISSING!!!
Slam Jam Sam
ditto
Probably the only song I've ever heard to include the word "gerrymandering" in the lyrics
ThatGuyFromTexas
There's a Stranglers song with Gerrymander in the lyrics 😊
If you're really from Texas, it is very ironic.
There's a song called Digital Gerrymandering by Intronauts too.
Fee irish rebel songs have it in them
@mogshade66You're spot on, it's called Nuclear Device (The Wizard of Aus), but fantastic reference and fantastic taste in music!! I salute you.!.🙏
What? This isn't official? It's freaking amazing! Does that mean the Guy Perry video for Synthesizer isn't official either? It's beyond epic. Man, I love this band and their fans for creating this stuff. Beautiful stuff
I didn't know that Ned from Spider-Man had an older brother who made this many years ago! Awesome!
This is got the perfect feel for an E6 song it really has. That whole I am sexy, I am the shit and IDGAF what you think because I know I am. Perfect.
Best comment
Dude in the video is feeling it.🕺
Director here. Long shots are something I like to do. I find constantly cutting away every 5 seconds to be horribly disconnecting and impersonal. How long your shots are should be no determinate of how good you are as a filmmaker, and if it is taught that it IS, I question who is teaching you. Rather, your ability to make something good, worth watching, and not empty hearted should determine that, in my (the directors) opinion. Thanks for the criticism, of course, as that is interesting to hear.
Amen! 🤙
I mean we can not invent the wheel again but we can give it our style. Long shots, quick shots, we don’t mind a slight disorder. I like your style 👍👍👍
Have you only made two videos?
Dance commander here , and yes , you own that it’s awesome and it could be nice .
From a brainless non-director here: he's THE BOMB! XD
Through the years... this song is still in my playlist. And through the years.... this nerd asian guy's junk is still in my mind.
Nerd? This guy is pure concentrated Alpha male.
Mine too!
I'm Native American and I'm convinced this is my cousin. We are all one people 🌎
It’s impossible to listen to this song without thinking of the hip thrusting in this video
cant tell you how many times i reenacted that shit when im home alone its so fucking GOOD
For the most part you are correct. Monopoly money, tissues, and random papers we found in a classroom trashcan. Lots of light papers, so as to make it fly easier.
One of the greatest music videos of all time was made by 2 guys in a empty classroom 15 years ago, We have not been able to progress beyond it.
I've lost count of the fan - made video clips I've seen, and more often than not, they are creatively worthy.
This, however, is hands down the best I've ever seen. The fact that Electric Six have made no contact or comment on this brilliance only adds to their perverse mystique
You should check out the one for Synthesizer also.
I can't believe this isn't the official video, because it's the only thing I see when I hear this song 😂 I mean I'd love to see your take on an Infected Girls video!
Honestly, this song became my favorite song by watching this vid.
Before this, i've never even heard of this song, but it just sticks to my head and I never want to let it go.
I am pleasantly intimidated by his excessive virility
wow
June 19th 2019 in England and this video still makes me smile and laugh out loud, amazing work!
Report in from June 19th 2022. I only just found electric six today. And this video is bangin.
Found this video in 2009 and still watching it. One of my all time TH-cam favorites.
I thought this was the official video which is great. I wish this WAS the official video now.
Its been 9.5 years. I'm pretty sure that its the official video now.
I don't know what it's going to take to get Dick Valentine's attention so he can ordain this video.
Rachel Palmer He is active on Facebook!
i am surprised it's not
I didn't know this wasn't official until I read this comment. The tone is too perfect.
It's 2023, and this is still amazing. Where is this dude these days?
better than any official video could be. i've been watching this same video for at least 5 years.
Love to try and explain this to anyone who happened to ignore the "DO NOT DISTURB" sign on that door.
Especially that spectacular ending.
Glorious.
I just wanted to say I've been watching the s music video for like 5 years off and on because I think it's just the best thing ever. Thank you for all the hard work you put into making this video it's definitely one of my favorite of all time
Here in August 2022, still loving this.
This is the official video as far as I'm concerned.
Wow... I've been watching this video on my line up for years, and it wasn't until this moment that I realized that this /wasn't/ the official video. It fits so well. Great job guys!
August 2024, still coming back to this. E6 is amazing and has some pretty amazing fans.
I can not believe this isn't the official video. I saw this first, and assumed it was Electric Six. Japanese guy miming the lyrics around an office? yep. seems like Electric Six might do this.
This is the best unofficial music video in existence. And I will fight anyone who ways otherwise
"Who elected you judge and jury in the body of a beautiful girl?" one of the best lines ive ever read
His so-confident-and-proud facial expression makes it even more perfect.
This may as well be an official video, I think the Six feel the same way.
This is an absolutely gold video. One of my fav music vids (even if its unofficial). I go back to it at least yearly haha
That last bit where he calmly sits back down is so powerful
Dude, this is not only one of the best unofficial videos I've ever seen, but it's probably also one of the greatest videos ever. One of my favourite Electric Six songs too.
I think Electric Six should recognize this as the official video for this song!
I never read the comments before,I have watched this many times,I thought it was an official video,it is perfect E6 vibe,good job!
*****
Oy Vey!My son is Gay! I sell him for monies ja
I'm gonna do this at the office on my last day of work.
I actually thought it was the official video at first... sooo well made, and the video + the song always brings my mood back up to a high level when feeling down. Booyah for awesomeness!
i thought this was the original. awsome job luv it
It's been years, but I've shown everyone I know this video. Of course it's a great song, but an even greater video. Basic, simple, let's you jam to the music instead of looking at quick cuts and bad color. And this guy, his sort of dead pan, unshakable confidence. Good recipe.
This is the best video on TH-cam 📼
Gotta love the Van Halen homage in the middle of the song "Reach down between my legs, and ease the seat back".
You chose the perfect guy to star in this video. The whole concept is just perfect, and you should keep doing more because this was just too great!
Electric 6 should make this the official video.
Because they are awesome, they shall so do.
I'll decide.
One of the BEST clips EVER!!! I swear
Omfg, when he drags the camera back 😂
They should just make this the official music video and pay you for it.
He should get free E6 concert admission....forever!
The first time I watched this music video, it was around 2011, when I was 14. I can't listen to this song without watching this humorous and AMAZINGLY DONE music video. 2011, and it's now 2024. THE BEST UNOFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO. I didn't know it was fan made until a few years after knowing of this video
That's the same with Dance Commander by these guys! I have to watch the music video. This is on par with one of my favorite official videos!
Who knew that this is exactly what I needed to hear/see tonight! I had not heard this in years!!
I've been depressed and this just made me feel pure joy for a solid 5 mins and 19 seconds!
Thanks for making this awesome unofficial video guys,
and thank you Electric Six for the kick ass music!
I'm pretty sure the is the greatest video ever made. Ever, ever.
I would have completely assumed this was their official video if it hadn’t been mentioned. Excellent job!
14 years huh...I was there and I would upvote again ....
I like it !
It's completely in ElectricSix style.
The song and video is just glorious...The banana and glazed donut on the chalkboard, monopoly money, the Van Halen reference (Panama), pelvic thrusts...all of it, with some really masterful subdued guitar work on the breakdown. The song simply never gets old.
nearly ten years i've been watching this insanity.... to all the commenters saying shit like "i wish this was the official video" dont worry, it is, it has been, it always will be
I must of gotten old! I just now heard liking Electric Six and I love this video for one of them is the best!
This video still does it for me! That dude has moves!!
Man deserves a job solely on the merits of the direction of this one video. So goodddd
13 years to the day.
Superb song, superb video, superb band. I’m using the word gerrymandering as often as possible from now on (in context of course)!
Still the best thing on the internet.
Wow! I never had a clue that this wasn't the official video of the song. I have posted this several times for someone to see in hopes it would brighten their day. It has mine on so many occasions. I want to thank you very much for sharing your vision with us. This is top notch work, really!!!
This is such good music, Electric 6 is so under-raterd they have so many good songs!
THAT should be the music video! It's perfect and charming, like the song
If you stare too long into his eyes you may get pregnant.
What eyes?
MrCrasherdog all four of them
Also, if you drink the milk from his breasts, you'll glow and shoot lasers.
Carrick Bend 😂😂😂😂
He eye-raped me and I am definetely preggers now:/
Good job. Plays like a early 90's video being retro 70's. Long shots win. Big lover of this since Tarintino's early movies and collab's. Hal Hartley in his early days too. Mr Corben has been the first series to do the same last 12 months. Balls for doing it back then and getting it right. Congrats
This video is excellent. This song is hilarious. This dude may look silly.
But he fucks.
I saw Electric Six in concert a couple of years ago, and couldn't have been more disappointed. Just kept wishing they were half as ridiculous and fun to watch as this video is.
Holy crap. I think I'm in love.
I remember when this video had 10's of thousands of views. Ya'll got it right. This is the Official Music Video IMO
3:05 onwards just cracks me up every time lol
Love how he's sitting in the end, like "I'm a fucking loser", cause it's the logic conclusion for anyone who would say things like the lyrics of this song
> 0:32
Or get the "Loop" extension on Google Chrome, which allows you to continuously loop the video, beginning it and ending it at any desired point. ;)
GeneticAlgorithm11111001000
>0:36< because I can't wait the 30 seconds plus the 4 second differential of silence caused by clicking on the 32 second mark posted by you OCD is a b****!😂😂😂
2011 me loved this song. It's still slappin in 2022.
It's so tacky and gutter - an obscure professor somewhere, after a hard day teaching, thinking about the girl of his dreams - and for this reason it's so inspiring.
I've seen this a bunch of times - one of my favourite E6 songs ever. I just watched it and am pumped. You guys did an amazing job.
How. How is this not the official MV?
My god you did a wicked job with this.. you did this beyond justice. Thankyou so much
This has always been the official video to me
I have watched this video at least once every six months for the past few years. Nothing pumps me up more that this!
This is something that professors and lecturers all over the world at one time or another probably dreamed of doing in an empty class room when noone showed up xD
I wish I had the authority to bestow a prestigious music video award... Consider yourselves bestunk.
i REALLY thought a car air bag was gonna go off on his shit, scattering popcorn everywhere.
13 years after it's posting, this should be the official video. Love the long shots
half this man's body weight is gravitas.
AudioElf this deserves way more likes lol
That's why when he flexes on the desk, papers fly everywhere.
I'm here in 2021 and this is still one of the vest vids and songs out there.
one of the best albums i have ever heard. outstandingly imaginative, zero pretentiousness, catchy melodic lines, incredibly energetically performed, every song on the album touches a bit differend area in music, thus the whole makes up an incredibly journey. if america gave birth to something good then this is definitely it. hello to all well-meaning americans from poland. ps congratulations on killing bin la den. good job guys :)
