you often find comments on old tunes by young 'uns saying how cool they are and for some reason some of the old 'uns seem to get the ache so for balance... I'm nearly 50 and fookin' love Ezra :D
This is a silly anecdote-my sibling's ex had a weird thing about runny eggs. Hated them, hated the look of them, stuff like that. This was the one video we didn't share with him despite how much we loved it. Then he broke up with my sibling. Now it's my favorite video (just out of spite-my heart will always hold Ordinary Life close). Love you so much Ezra and congrats on coming out and you make a beautiful mother! Much love to all my trans and fellow queer siblings
He is an incredibly beautiful man. He might no like me saying that,but....And he moves on stage like a rock star/spanish street dancer..A sheer delight in his concert!!Thanks Ezra!
When I think about Drik Gentlys Holistic Detektive Agency being cancelled while hearing this song, i wanna cry.. Its one of the best shows I've ever seen!
It's late at night; it's time to tell you my secrets My personality's cut up into pieces Modern society's my one secret weakness I'm out of money, and I'm out of my mind We can't fit in, so we just head for the fringes Your universe of blue lipstick and syringes Your bedroom doorway with the bugs in the hinges Some things about you that I don't understand at all [Chorus] But I, I don't wanna be the bad guy I wanna see myself from the outside Can you hear me now? Wait can you- Wait, wait can you hear me now? Cause I, I have got a lousy connection I promise my undying affection Can you hear me now? Wait, wait can you- Wait can you hear me now? [Doo-wop refrain] So I've been working on this letter to congress Regarding some things that I think they should address Showed up in court wearing an Indian headdress Somehow I think maybe the message was lost It seems the clarity we knew is degraded A royal flush where all the faces have faded I want the universe. God knows I've been patient I hear your voice behind a staticky storm The century seems like it's turning out okay It's like a game of worldwide karaoke And my rich friends and me just sit and blow smoke rings There's nothing happening, and it's happening too fast Try to interpret but the message is scrambled The institutions that I lean on have crumbled I've got the world's ear; I'm all fucking mumbles I guess I'm just another link in a chain [Chorus]
Egg-sactly. It made my mind scramble. It like, made my mind go Over easy, then Over Medium, Then Over H A R D. Really. it made me feel Sunny (side up) it Poached my my interest to say the least.
this video is eggstraordinarly awesome...big fan, here. Plus this was published on the day of my birthday, which makes it even more eggstra special. xo
Jannetje smith From at least two interviews I remember that EF is not really into David Bowie, also saying DB has not had a big influence on his music if any. He thinks people only draw this conclusion because of the make up, and androgynous looks.
I like the egg smashing in this video. But I also like Teleman's egg smashing in their Mainline video. Does MTV have an Egg Smashing Video of the Year award to settle it?

You need to catch this genius live. Seen him 4 times and he keeps getting better and better.
Ezra's aesthetic is very wow, they're definitely doing it right.
Ezra Furman is amazing and amazingly underrated! Apart from everything else, now I have to thank him also for getting it to watch Dirk Gently!
Yay, hello fellow Dirk fan!
you often find comments on old tunes by young 'uns saying how cool they are and for some reason some of the old 'uns seem to get the ache so for balance... I'm nearly 50 and fookin' love Ezra :D
Thrilled to see this on Dirk Gently! I had been trying to find this song for ages.
Woohoo! This is a comments section filled with the very best people - Dirk Gently fans!
I got to meet Ezra on Monday, and it was the best day of my life.
you are such an inspiration for me!!!! I am a nonbinary artist and your songs make a lot of my dysphoric feelings valid 💕 thank u
2015: "This century seems like it's turning out OK..."
2021: About that...
I just recently found Ezra Furman, but thumbs up!

is nobody going to bring up the fact that they are playing the drums with "drumsticks"?
No wonder I have splinters in my throat! I ate the wrong drumsticks! I was wondering why the colonel's 11 herbs & spices tasted a bit weird?!
@@triplesevensix291 Winner of 2021 for best
This song is so jam, needs more love.
I agree.
You mean it's so yolk...
One of my all time favorites!
2:40
But the message was SCRAMBLED
After lengthy and careful consideration, I believe this is my favourite video of all time and space. Thank you, Ezra.
Ah man, this made my night. As a fan of a few years, I dunno how I only watched this for the first time today.
Why isn't anyone making a lyric video for this? Been playing this on repeat to get the lyrics embedded in my head. This song is my absolute fave. 😩❤️
Everything is connected. Not necessarily lousily.
Well, lousy doesn't mean that is not connected, so I partially agree with you. Greetings.
DIRK GENTLY!!!!!
@@edarioramle That's what she said though.
@@timgras4172 YES HELLO FELLOW FAN!!!
Pass the acid tabs guys
Everything is connected... Nothing... is also connected.
He is an incredibly beautiful man. He might no like me saying that,but....And he moves on stage like a rock star/spanish street dancer..A sheer delight in his concert!!Thanks Ezra!

This is how you make a music video!
I didn't stop smiling the whole way through! :) peace x
me too !!
It's late at night; it's time to tell you my secrets
My personality's cut up into pieces
Modern society's my one secret weakness
I'm out of money, and I'm out of my mind
We can't fit in, so we just head for the fringes
Your universe of blue lipstick and syringes
Your bedroom doorway with the bugs in the hinges
Some things about you that I don't understand at all
[Chorus]
But I, I don't wanna be the bad guy
I wanna see myself from the outside
Can you hear me now?
Wait can you-
Wait, wait can you hear me now?
Cause I, I have got a lousy connection
I promise my undying affection
Can you hear me now?
Wait, wait can you-
Wait can you hear me now?
[Doo-wop refrain]
So I've been working on this letter to congress
Regarding some things that I think they should address
Showed up in court wearing an Indian headdress
Somehow I think maybe the message was lost
It seems the clarity we knew is degraded
A royal flush where all the faces have faded
I want the universe. God knows I've been patient
I hear your voice behind a staticky storm
The century seems like it's turning out okay
It's like a game of worldwide karaoke
And my rich friends and me just sit and blow smoke rings
There's nothing happening, and it's happening too fast
Try to interpret but the message is scrambled
The institutions that I lean on have crumbled
I've got the world's ear; I'm all fucking mumbles
I guess I'm just another link in a chain
[Chorus]
This should be on the sequel to that movie " What we do in the Shadows." So good
eesha alles very good movie! One of my favorites
The Outs trailer brought me here - thank god this song is amazing!!

I'm Mexican and I love the music of Ezra... I wish that Ezra come to Mexico:')
【S】【p】【i】【n】【e】【l】 okay mr. buzzkill
Tcaf um what how??
I love Ezra songs, he is so talented, your music's make me happy, just good vibes 🌈❤❤
The message is.... hard-boiled
;)

Eggscellent video and great song! This tune crept up on me and before I knew what was going on, I was giggling and awestruck in the same instance😅
I love the song, and the video is really original.
So glad I got to see you acoustic and sit near you :D Sofar Sounds SF !!!!
This song means so much to me right now.
Dirk Gently brought me here. Not disappointed.
Not sure I really get the video but this is an absolutely amazing song. One of the best on the album, only beaten by Ordinary Life.

Excellent 👍👍👍 quand venez vous à Paris ?????
Fantastic song and amazing video. Saw Ezra and band live in Cork last Tuesday and boy did they rock, blown away I was!

what's the purpose of typing all this people could have just searched up "Ezra Furman - Lousy Connection Lyrics" and boom
Thanks for writing lyrics.
@@chrissl8307 LoL
Sexy Weather
When that acid you've taken is starting to kick in and reality is sliding sideways...
I love Ezra furman he's my favourite singer but why is he playing with eggs and chicken ?
+GhostlyTune true but lousy connection is his best song yet in my opinion
I seen him
welp...they're just havin a good ol time.
How much did the video cost to make ?
I guess that depends on whether he went to Waitrose or Lidl . ))
