[amuse bouche]

1. Saw this on Huffpo

and was blown away. I had no idea he had such a good singing voice


I usually think of him as clownish, but loved this video.

Spot on Thank You Jim Carey

[TheDebbieDee]

19. Yes, he does have a great voice, doesn't he?

[RebelOne]

22. I have a feeling that he was lip-syncing

as he has never been noted for his singing.

[amuse bouche]

58. No, it was him

My son said Jim sang for Paul McCartney's producer

and he was very impressed with his voice.

I found it.

[pangaia]

26. Ahhhhhh......

of course it's not Carrey singing, unless he does a really good imitation of... what's that singer's name?? It also is not Lincoln, Gandhii or Lennon. but...is that really Sam?

[amuse bouche]

59. But it is Jim singing

I posted one Beatles song above your post. But he actually plays the guitar and has a bunch of bits on youtube

[pangaia]

62. Wow, you are right. I stand corrected.. :>) Thanks.

[Control-Z]

2. K&R Love Jim Carrey!

Love him even more after this!!

[CTyankee]

3. now that was strange. I couldn't stop watching it...

[amuse bouche]

7. It was a well written piece

Loved the band mates. Gandhi, John Lennon and Lincoln

[MuseRider]

4. LOL

I could not stop either. Had to finish it. Glad I did Thanks.

[loudsue]

5. Good grief! The place is crawling with right wingers!

All the commenters are gopernazis.

[nolabear]

6. That's how you know you've got 'em scared. I'll bet Funny or Die is a HUGH target for them.

And the only thing they can do is shoot their mouths off.

[amuse bouche]

10. Guess the piece cut a little too close

to the bone for them.

It's funny how passionate gunhumpers are about something, they will never have the balls to actually use

[ellisonz]

43. Made some of them...

...go limp with tremors.

[amuse bouche]

57. I think it was Martin Bashir's show

today that aired a bunch of clips from Fox about the video.

The hate flung at Jim Carey was jaw dropping

[moondust]

8. Ouch!

That's gonna sting!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. The comments are hilarious! Someone apparently let loose the flying monkeys on Jim Carrey.

[freshwest]

11. Had to go to youtube to make it work for me:

[BlueStreak]

12. Ghandi was anice touch

I don't usually enjoy Jim Carrey, but I think he is getting better with age.

[nolabear]

13. I don't much like him either, but this is worth it. And he IS showing his age!

I fear Fire Marshall Bill was a preview.

[BlueStreak]

14. His earlier stuff was all sight gags - very sophomoric

It seems his humor may be getting a little more depth.

[nolabear]

15. Would be nice. I hated most of his movies, but I had sons who were adolescents.

So for them I took one. I liked his Andy Kaufman, though no one can do Andy justice.

[tridim]

18. Watch "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

[AlbertCat]

55. The Truman Show

A complex movie that isn't really a comedy.

[nolabear]

61. Yes, both Eternal Sunshine and The Truman Show were very good. He's best cranked up to about 4.

For most of us that would be an 11.

[Cha]

16. It was a brilliant piece of work..

To me whether it was funny or not was immaterial. It was hard hitting satire wrapped in more truths than the Cold Dead Handers can handle.

It didn't hurt that Carrey does have a good singing voice and that little cowboy dance he doing was Perfect!

thanks nolabear

[amuse bouche]

27. Yes it was truly brilliant

and that fact was made all the more evident by the mouth breather comments

[nolabear]

17. And I understand his "band" is The Eels, whom I used to love!

[RebelOne]

20. Just was watching it on the link and it was played on The War Room.

at the same time. This video will become viral.

[malaise]

21. Delish

Rec

[love_katz]

23. Great satire piece.

Thanks for sharing.

[MotherPetrie]

24. That was excellent

[lobodons]

25. Lennon and Lincoln both Killed by guns

Lennon killed by a gun, Lincon killed by a gun Ghandi..?? Well he was a Peace activist I guess. Blondie?? Well, you gotta have a cute blond in every music vid.

[Shankapotomus]

28. Gandhi was also killed by a gun

Assassinated in 1948.

[nolabear]

29. Of course. I don't know why I didn't make that connection.

[Paladin]

36. And Carrey's band is "The Clutterbusters"

The Clutters were the murdered family in Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood."

[Hoyt]

30. LMAO. His guns . . . . . .prove his dick is bigger . . . . and it burns, burns, burn.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. This was priceless!

Bravo!

[baldguy]

32. You're a big, big man With a little bitty glans; So you need something bigger

Just to fill Your Cold Dead Hands!

[nolabear]

33. Can we just repeatedly call the NRA and play this into their voicemail?

[ellisonz]

44. Yes, Yes We Can.

You can contact the NRA via phone at: NRA Member Programs 1-800-672-3888

For the voicemail I might try after normal working hours

[samsingh]

34. awesome Kim Carrey !

[Heidi]

35. Kick!

[Initech]

37. Epic win for Jim Carrey!

I downloaded the song off iTunes. Man there are some pissed off gun nuts on the reviews.

[snagglepuss]

40. Was Jim Carrey actually singing? If so he has a great voice.

[amuse bouche]

60. Yes he sings

I posted one piece on this thread but he has a bunch of stuff on youtube

[Erose999]

38. It was a great spoof of Marty Robins, who sang Western songs about guns like "Big Iron" etc...

[SunSeeker]

41. Ah, if only the gun nuts would just stick to owning a "six gun." nt

[SunSeeker]

39. So the CNN headline on this is "Jim Carrey mocks dead actor"

It is listed under "In Case You Missed It" stories on the left column of their home page, http://www.cnn.com/

Way to miss the point CNN. But hey, I am sure the gungeoneers appreciate CNN's thwack at Carrey.

[Erose999]

49. I'll mock Heston too. He really was a "god damn dirty ape".

[SunSeeker]

50. LOL. Yeah, I guess you can't mock Reagan on CNN either. nt

[DebJ]

42. Awesome. To my FB page n/t

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

45. "He's a big, big man with a little bitty gland

and he needs something bigger just to fill his hand", right after which they cut to Charles Heston with a rifle barrel between his legs like a penis. Hilarious!!!!!!!

[DebJ]

46. I transcribed the words (posted here) but can't figure out one word...

I put that in parenthesis .... think it is a type of gun?

Some folks ride like the wind
With the whispering pines to guide them
And the burning light inside them
Keeps them warm in the snow

Others fear the sounds they hear
Make banditos out of molehills
Fill their hearts with porcupine quills
They’re dead and buried long before they go

Charleton Heston movies are no longer in demand
And his immortal soul may lay forever in the sand
The angels wouldn’t take him up to heaven like he planned
“Cause they couldn’t pry that gun from his cold, dead hand

It takes a cold, dead hand to decide to pull the trigger
It takes a cold, dead heart and as near as I can figure
With your cold, dead aim you’re trying to prove your dick is bigger
But we know…Your chariot may not be swinging low

Cold dead hand, cold dead hand, cold dead hand, cold dead hand
You’re a big, big man with a little bitty gland
So you need something bigger just to fill
Your cold, dead hand

Imagine if the Lord were here
And he knew what you’d been thinking
Would his Sacred Heart be sinking
Into the Canyon of Dismay?

And on the ones who sell the guns
He’d sick the vultures and coyotes
Only the Devil’s true devotees
Could prod a tear from pain and fear

Charleton Heston movies are no longer in demand
And his immortal soul may lay forever in the sand
The angels wouldn’t take him up to heaven like he planned
“Cause they couldn’t pry that gun from his cold, dead hand

It takes a cold, dead hand to decide to pull the trigger
It takes a cold, dead heart and as near as I can figure
With your cold, dead aim you’re trying to prove your dick is bigger
But we know…Your chariot may not be swinging low

Cold dead hand, Cold dead hand
Cold dead hand, Cold dead hand
Cold dead hand, Cold dead hand
You’re a big, big man with a little bitty gland
So you need something bigger with a hair-pin trigger
You don’t wanna get caught with your trousers down
When the psycho killer comes around
So you make your home like a Thunder Dome
And you’re always packing everywhere you roam
But the psychos win no matter what you do
Cuz they’re gonna buy way more guns than you!

And while you’re stumbling outta bed
They put five rocks in the back of your head
Or you get depressed cuz the money went South
And you put your own (Chonka) in your mouth
And your kids walk in and they find you there
Like a headless lump in your underwear
And they move the gun and it kills them too
And your wife just doesn’t know what to do
So she takes a hand grenade from her shoe
And she pulls the pin…..

And it’s all on YOU.
And your COLD, DEAD HAND.




I'd love to see some kids in the inner city rapping this..............

[BainsBane]

47. shotgun

that's the word you didn't understand.

[DebJ]

51. Thanks! n/t

[SunSeeker]

53. Thanks. Brilliant lyrics.

Ties in the fact that you are 43 times more likely to be killed by your own gun than an intruder, with suicide made 5 times more likely if there is a gun in the house.

[BainsBane]

48. The dog howl is my favorite

after "we know your chariot might not be swinging low."

[Jade Fox]

52. The reaction this video is getting......

proves Mr. Carey hit a nerve.

Brilliant video. God bless him. "Smite me, oh mighty Smighter!"

[RoccoR5955]

54. The right-wingnuts are certainly out there on this one.

They sure have struck a nerve with it.
Jim Carrey will be on some of their fecal registers for a long time.

[Glimmer of Hope]

56. Brilliant! I remember Hee Haw.............

[bobclark86]

63. I damn near shat myself this morning when I saw this...

It's like the Bushmaster ads about getting your "man card" back...

Now, I think the "guns for little penises" meme is getting annoying as shit in light of the seriousness of subject matter, but DAMN this was funny!

[LiberalLovinLug]

64. HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa

Fox Noise has declared war!

[nolabear]

65. I haven't seen media coverage of this. I hope it's getting some!

On edit I see it has gotten a bunch!
