I was on the train from Providence to NYC after visiting Eric. I sat next to a Parson's girl named Carolyn (spelling?). She let me look through her iPod and I tried to persuade her to do lip dubbing with me, but she sternly refused, even when I said "come on, it'll be fun!"

I was pretty obsessed with Crash Test Dummies in high school, so I was overjoyed when I found God Shuffled His Feet on there (she also had A Worm's Life). As a challenge, I didn't review the song; I just hit play and went for it. I think I did pretty well, despite a couple of flubs.

    If I was sat on a train and a complete stranger looked through my iPod and tried to persuade me to do some lip dubbing, I think I'd be very alarmed indeed.

    Your sense of humor and congeniality are infectious! Though I can't remember the video for this song, I suspect it couldn't have been better than this! Plus (and I DO remember this), you're much easier on the eyes than the Crash Test Dummies guy...

    Your teachers weren't joking when they said all that stuff about you just doing what you wanted without caring what other people thought! Inspirational!
  • Joe Worters 1 year ago

    Awesome! Evidently, life can be fun if you want it to be... Lemon Jelly once said "it's Christmas every day if you want it to be", would you like to be the poster boy for that campaign?!

    Thanks, Jakob!

    Also, I'm now inspired to get that Crash Test Dummies album, it sounds great!

    The last time I heard this song I was too young to realize he name checks Sartre.

    It's really a test of someone's boringness when they can sit by a dude like you and choose to continue with their cliche cell phone convo insted of joining in on the fun.
  • Paul McClintock 1 year ago
    And Eliot... And God. That song is just a list of people that are popular at parties.
  • Jakob Lodwick 1 year ago
    She was unpersuadable... I couldn't believe it.

  •  
  • Buck Flashroy 1 year ago
    Hahaha, this is your best lip dubbing by far. So funny. It's a shame how some people don't just let go and join in. It's funny how they can actually look more out of place by not being silly and awkwardly hiding away compared with if they just go for it like you did there.

  • mongchacha 1 year ago
    this is just so funny!
    i like the "normal" faces in between the words...and then the bursts of expressions during the lyrics.

  • Ayn 1 year ago
    you are a treasure!

    i would consider myself fortunate to be able to hang out with you on a train ride. not only would i play with you on the train, i would scoop you up and take you home with me. i wouldn't let you up for air for days. ha!

    if you ever want some sex education from an older woman, let me know. heh

    your uninhibited nature is infectious. thanks for the laugh.

    great song, btw


    kiss

  • hammonddog 1 year ago
    Another great one. You are so uninhibited, you're fantatastic. I'd watch anything you were in. I'm now a very big fan.

    Jakob - I was a huge CTD fan in high school too. If you ever want some sex education from an old college buddy, you can call someone else.

  • Jimi Heffernan 1 year ago
    the lipsyncing is great, but what makes the clip better than the rest i think is the setup, before and after the actual lipsyncing is done. with the real audio and the iPod, is so well done.
  •  
  • eggling 1 year ago
    So I can never remember the important keywords to find this video - this makes the fourth time I've scrounged around in my history to find it. I finally decided to just go ahead and make an account so I could actually tell you that I took the effort to find this video because I adored it so much. :)

    Ok, ok, ok. I don't know why I could not upload my photo! Hate that monkey! lol. Anyway, I want to say you, Jakob, someone has sent me this video as a present and I've posted it at my blog (http://luluby.blogspot.com/) some days ago. I absolutely love it! So much better than the original one! And you are absolutely adorable! xxx lulu
