Barenaked Ladies - One Week (Live)

The popular Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies perform arguably their greatest hit, "One Week" live in Michigan. "One Week" has been featured numerous times in other media, including the films Digimon: The Movie, American Pie, Ten Things I Hate About You, the band appear to perform it live in "College Kids", an early season 4 episode of The West Wing, the video game Alvin and the Chipmunks, and in the video game Rock Band Blitz, and in an ad for Mitsubishi Lancer, which featured teens trying to sing the song but being unable to keep up with the fast rapping at some points.

Lyrics:
It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said "I'm angry"
Five days since you laughed at me saying
"Get that together come back and see me"
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air
and said "You're crazy"
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault
not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait til you say you're sorry

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides
and said "I'm sorry"
Five days since I laughed at you and said
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame,
but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie

I randomly heard this song on a Spotify radio Playlist while I was doing math homework once. I liked the vibe but didn't save it because I was too busy focusing on something else. A while later, I found it and put it on one of my playlists. Now it's 4 am, I'm drunk and jamming to this live version wishing I was there

[shadowweaver]

This just gets under my skin and I can never turn it off without dancing or bobbing my head

[YodiRoberts]

I got tickets for their concert coming this 2018 summer, looking forward to it!

[lukegarrett]

The epitome of a tight band. Top notch musicianship along the lines of Rush.

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on

I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

"The phrase 'in the house' is a funny, stupid phrase. And so we started saying it in French instead. We were going, 'Dans la maison?' and that became universal for 'Are you in the house and do you want to watch some X-Files?' Robertson explains. "Then we started singing it to the theme of The X-Files. So that's where the line comes from. And 'I hope the Smoking Man's in this one' is just because he's one of the coolest characters on the show." BNL

@2:06, I replayed that part a few times 🤣🤣

[doctorhagglefester]

"Birchmont Stadium, Home of the Robbie."

[Thejbirdy]

[estevaomsousa]

Acabo de conhecer essa banda e gostei muito!

[jonvincent]

Thats got to be Jack Black and Drew Carey's son 🤣

[countroshculla]

One of the saddest things in music is that Stephen Page hasn't rejoined the Barenaked Ladies Th 5 of them create magic and they have been missing a key ingredient that makes the special.

[CursedLemon]

wide shot in the first two seconds

Yep that's Pine Knob

[SamWeaver]

I’m offended they included chomos with the rest of us

[nowidoitmyself]

Reading a fucking cereal box out loud would be better than this
