- Witty singer-songwriter Nellie McKay had three days to write and record a song. The end result is an intricate three-part tune named after a London hotel.

Every time she opens her mouth, it's a storm of possible phrases fighting for realization.
I appreciated the moment she took to call her mother to discuss appropriate terminology for avoiding complimenting herself.
The first time I heard Nellie, I was hooked on her music. I still am. But, now, you know what? I'm just so rooting for her happiness. Let's see what she produces then. Love you, girl. Please take care of yourself!
I would still buy this song! Love it. Has stuck with me all these years.
HAha. I loved that line too. "Where's this hope come from? Where's your cynicism? You work at NPR."
I love Nellie McKay. She's younger than be, but still an idol.
truly one of the most talented song/ writer of our times that sadly is not given the respect she deserves
Nellie is so precious oh my god
I'm in love! Genius, charm, & grace go very well together. (Beauty is a nice touch too.)
+John Allred yes and she's so down to earth and a little goofy too
The way she goes through this and how she talks about it is so attractive =) it's awesome
Amazing talented young lady with such soul, loved it so much...
Wow, is it weird that I was extremely moved by this? I just felt Nellie's selflessness pouring out. I wanted to cry, actually! LOL! She reminds me so much of my friend Jill who, oddly, lives in New York and looks almost exactly like her.
Is it weird that Nellie reminds me of Lady Gaga? Lady Gaga, however, acts classless and exaggerates her attention-crazed personality to the extreme. Nellie, however, maintains her class and her personality is rather endearing, relaxing, and refreshing.
The more I hear this .................. Oh a magical place!!!!
I love this woman with all my soul
It's nice to see someone else's process. Makes me feel a little less crazy. There is always this expectation to be able turn a song out on a dime. It doesn't always work like that.
Now this is talent. Really enjoyed this. Clever and Sweetly iconic
Completely mesmerizing. Genius.
I could just ....ah.... she's amazing.
Call it what you want, she is what she is...
nellie your amazing
Nellie is *Amazing*
I loved watching the process of creating a song. There is a lot to it. It's almost too grueling to watch but I wanted to hear the end product. Then to see everyone with smiling faces it was worth it.
"It's a MAGICAL place!"
Just goes to show....there is only one rule in songwriting.....
There are no rules in songwriting.
Thanks to NPR and Nellie for such an informative insight.
Human creativity in real time--nothing more amazing.
Baby Garland = Magic 💗💗🌟🌟🎹🎹🎶🎶
Good grief, folks...she's not drunk. She's very tired and flummoxed by the creative process (which is hard enough) as rendered for an audience (even harder and not typically how people create. She's just self-conscious as she carries out the process. On a side note, I think she'd get a massive kick out of the Indiscreet LP by Sparks if she hasn't already.
....so so good
Love her. I love that she is a weirdo and takes pride in that. To each their own and I think she is totally wonderful!
WOW! This was SO cool to see. I want to see more and more of these.
if I heard this while walking by on the street, I think I might be compelled to find my way in, onto the stage... just to tell her.. I love you.
love her accent.
I like this song :)
Genius.
I have to say, she looks and sounds like someone from completely another time. And certainly the look without the glasses suits here more :)
npr:national public radio Check it out! About a million times better than pretty much any other radio
What a Guffy Broad and full of herself at that! Good example of how school can sometimes confuse you or dumb you up a bit.
So inspirational (:
Nellie is genius
Yup, it's love.
p.s. i love you
Hey, Nellie, like your vest. I got about 20 vests, and a gay friend did the Queer Eye thing, told me vests were not cool and would not be again. I'm hanging onto them, hoping they get cool again.
If we go out for drinks sometime, we'll both wear vests. Deal?
this just seems to drain everyone who does it. except chris walla. he's apparently an incurable optimist.
@callycampbell hahaha that was great
Cute as a button, smart as a snap & zany, like a zipper
She needed to be under a tree instead of in a studio. Then she woulda came up with her usual magic I bet. :)
A young blonde Bob Dylan.
So ... Nellie McKay is either a bit psycho or a Mozart-level genius. Maybe somewhere on that scale, but I am leaning toward Mozart.
The starting at 13:00 was the only one I cared for.
"i wonder if this next part we should try the wah wah" -- (3:28).
More cowbell...I mean, More Cello! :D
Bit of a Frank Zappa vibe.
has she recorded it for sale?
what is npr? she seems to know a lot about music and what seems to be missing whants and needs.
The war on drugs is a war against the victims of drugs ,its a bad metaphore
Bob.
Nellie is a gift from another (better) world. By the way, a Cavendish is also the most common variety of banana.
essa música ficou demais queria entender oq ela fala
no
she's under pressure
I don't care for the final product.
Anti war song Jimmy Dore show. Very nice.
Shit I think she's smarter than me.
disagree
I am 50 and wonder if she is interested in old er men?
she woulda been done in an hour if she smoke some weed
Alex Sanchez lol check her Christmas song 🌲🤣🌬
I like hearing her talk and watching her work...but that song friggin blows. It's totally tuneless and wandering
Stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
