Lyrics:
It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk, but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone when ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time because the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile when ya
Realize that with a guy my size it might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for
It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone when ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time because the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile when ya
Realize that with a guy my size it might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for
Pinch me
Pinch me
Because I'm still
Asleep
Please God
Tell me
That I'm still asleep
On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I packed a car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say 'underwear'
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone when ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time because the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile when ya
Realize that with a guy my size it might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for

00:05 Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me
#BarenakedLadies #PinchMe #Vault
"Please, God, tell me that I'm still asleep." That line is just soul crushing. Beautiful lyrics.
The highlight for me is "try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn"
"I Just made you say underwear" 😥
It makes the song for me!😩
So begins my day...
You beat your dick off to them or something? Lol.
Man, this place really is booming when the Blues Clues convention is in town.
Exactly what I was thinking!
I like how this song is deceptively upbeat while covering the subject of depression. It reflects the irony of feeling down and out of place in society, but having to pretend everything’s ok at the same time.
👍🏻😆👍🏻
Being Canadian in a nut shell. BNL is Canada's musical voice, as Men at Work is to the aussies :)
Also shows how being depressed can bring about meaning in one’s life
And all many of the listeners can hear is the underwear joke.
Pretty much on par for BNL.
Barenaked ladies songs always transport my brain to the late 90’s/early 00’s. What I would do to actually go back..
These guys and Sugar Ray
I’d do anything to go back to the 90s and early 2000s. It would be like a breath of fresh air
I just want to go back as well. Hate the present and I have no hope for the future.
Yep, Barenaked Ladies, Sugar Ray, Smashmouth, Alien Ant Farm instantly transport me to the late 90s/early 2000s

Geez, that’s dark. Seek some help, friend
“I just made you say underwear”, one of the great lines in pop music.
That was really a gutsy lyric, but I agree it worked great. I tried it on my wife and she didn't fall for it. She just replied with one of my oft used lines: "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Just a joke from childhood. Good he used it but not one of the great lines in music.
@@LC-ht7sg It's not just the line, but also how well it works in the context of the song and the BNL personae. It was really gutsy to put such a trite, juvenile, corny line into a song destined for the top 40. In Beatles parlance it was "cheeky." When you hear the line you admire the courage of the song writer and it also fits with the image of the BNL as a borderline novelty act. The fact that the song made it to the top 40 only solidifies your admiration. On top of that, the line works well with the footloose and fancy free world the rest of the lyric has built. All of that combines to make it a great line, in addition to the funny, whimsical face value. An analogy would be Andy Warhol making a high profile work of art out of soup cans. The soup can itself has limited value, but when placed in the context of Andy's ouvre and placed in an art show, it becomes something more, and made Andy a star.
@@TheLarryBrown mo
The one right after it hits hard with ppl ive lost
One of the greatest songs ever written about depression.
And the music video reflects on the song's tone well as it's a happy-sounding song with sad lyrics and the video has a sad restaurant worker in a goofy environment where everyone is dressed like Steve from Blue's Clues and are all dancing like idiots
It’s good but not the best look up my immortal evenessance
Or maybe it's about apathy. The guy working the restaurant hates his life, all the customers are dressed in prisoner outfits, everyone's just fucked and trying to figure out what the point is.
@@nickharharharh2515 Apathy and depression go hand-in-hand
I thought it was about burgers and fries
This song is actually a masterpiece.
Very underrated band.
Took me a while to really appreciate these guys. 🇨🇦
Very much agreee with this comment
Agree on the very underrated comment. I was hooked when I heard Gordon.
highly skilled musicians
I'm 38 years old and this song will never fail to take me back to when I was much younger and just make me feel good
So your talking about the year 2000😊
Great song
Ditto
Same age 😎✌️
Same age 😅
I listened to this song a lot as a kid, a time when i was comparatively happy and knew this as a good tune.
This hits very differently as an adult with crippling depression.
I know what you mean !! you will get through this brah .... nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain
Same!
I could hide out under there! ;)
There you go.
Great tune love it you’re so right
This is the most cheerful song about depression ever. Or maybe ennui.
its colder than it looks outside
Sure is Tim
Deep.
Canadians know how that is haha
@@feral7094 Fuckin right I live in New Brunswick, Canada and it's cold as fuck in the winter time.
As a Minnesotan, I get that snarky Canadian humor too.
This was a great time to be a kid. I feel so Greatful. Yet still longing to relive it. But this band helps me do that. Back when people weren't buried in their phones.
Yes
Yea
buried is the right word
Yay for happy-sounding songs about crippling depression!
+FinalFirebrand Don't forget about the overwhelming apathy.
I think it's more about people being complacent, not depressed lol, though that may be involved.
+FinalFirebrand I liked you from the moment I saw your profile pic
I have crippling depression! I have osteoporosis!
I KNOW... THIS IS MY LIFETIME SOUNDTRACK.
This song is so perfect. It kind of puts life in perspective. When life gets you down you just go and see something beyond your front door
I loved this song as a kid. It was only as an adult that I realized how much I can relate to it...
"I could walk, but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside."
Too true.
Canadian winters
Liam Carroll has nothing to do with winter
Winnipeg winter.
Just made u say under where
"Climb the stairs into my room, sleep away the afternoon."
I love how in 90s/early 2000s music videos they all party at the end, its like they knew they were in the good times.
musicnight even when the song's about crippling depression
Well they are pretty creative about it. !
👍👏👍
Not really.
4 Days ago on October 9th, 2019 I lost my son Jordan. I do not know if he liked this song or even knew it. This morning I woke with this song in my head. Jordan was a good kid and caring young man. My pain, hurt is at the level I’ve never felt before. Rest In Peace my son. Daddy misses you.
I’m so sorry
Jesse Castro my heart is with you this song got me through the pain of losing my parents.
I wish you the best of luck man
RIP
My name is Jordan and I lost my brother Jesse a couple years ago
As someone who used to work at a drivethru, I can safely say that they nailed it down perfectly in this music video
I can literally taste Autumn 2000 when i hear this song.......Amazing times!!!
What does it taste like?
Salty milk and coins :)
Wish I was older in those times I was too young to enjoy the end of an amazing era of music
Really bad too!
Yes.
for how happy-go-lucky and pop-y BNL's sound often is, it's amazing how many of their songs have such deep meanings; a really, genuinely fantastic band, God bless 'em
So true, well said! Thank you Cameron...
I love just how stylistic the setting of this music video is. I like how everyone wears the same outfits and how generically happy the restaurant is, it perfectly encapsulates what the song is really about
"If I packed the car and leave this town
will you notice that I'm not around" this hits me hard everytime.. Wish I could leave this town and start all over again. Love this song! For me the perfect autumn song
Do it bro.
I did it last year....didn't plan on it but it beat sleeping in my car....but it was for the best
then just do it and quit whining
Only problem is that I am not sure anyone would notice if I wasn't around.
I always smile whenever I hear this song because it reminds me of the good old days of the early 2000's! The beat of this song was so awesome back then!!
I miss those days!
Simpler times ;)
Yes and watching it on TRL miss those days.
"all my stuffs here anyway"
lol. i know that feel.
Best line in the song.
I remember listening to this as a child, while laying on my bed with my cat and the sun shining in on me.
The early 90s were the best time to grow up.
Official song for lockdown 2020.
Most surreal comment I've seen yet.
@@metalxthrashingxmad1 yup
lockdown 2021*****
There aren't enough happy songs about crippling depression
You gotta listen to more punk music my friend.
Try Sleepyhead - Passion Pit, it's about a coma/death. but pretty close...
Stay Bullish Duff July
seechris 33 WAIT!! This songs about crippling depression
Yes, if you listen to the lyrics carefully it is clear. Also, note in the video that despite the world being all happy thumbs up, all he sees is thumbs down.
That joke about underwear still makes me smile after al these years 😊
hola podrias explicarme esa expresion? Porfavor, no entiendo 😬 varios dicen que es su frase favorita!
Its been waaaaay too long since I 've heard this song. Instantly put a smile on my face...its a vibe. 😁
Yeah especially the I just made you say underwear 😂😂😂😂
The song really hits you as an adult
I doubt someone could have composed this music and lyrics without having "gone through it."
Just saying, if that was a real restaurant, I would totally spend all my money there... Love the Barenaked Ladies. You guys rule!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's hard to believe this song is 20 years old. I still remember hearing it on the radio as a kid. I miss my childhood so much. 😭
Me tooooo
Same here
I hear ya 😢
So do I 😞
And me
This song is life changing! I love the attitude and the people dancing on the floor. I love you bare naked ladies!
Has been a favorite song since childhood. Brings so many memories back.
How does this only have 7 million views? Where all the 90s kids at?
I'm watching as hard as I can
We're suffering at the hands of the American system. 👍🏻
"Pinch Me" was, I think, the last song to be written for the record. I wrote it up on the third floor of my house, just feeling a bit melancholy; sometimes you look around, and things are great, and you just kind of feel down, and there's no reason for you to - you have an inability to appreciate your surroundings sometimes. That's what I was trying to get at, some of the boredom of pristine suburbia and the potential lying under every yawn.
I had a basic framework in mind, but couldn't finish it off, really. It was a hard one to write, because of the sort of quick singing/rapping; I was so scared people were gonna go, "Oh, it's like 'One Week,'" which it isn't. But I was so paranoid people would think that that I almost didn't write it. ---Ed Robertson
They should pun this comment.
Thank you for writing this quote down. It adds some extra perspective to the song.
Awesome Lyrics... They're LEGENDARY...
But the Video sure Adds to its Intrigue and our, the Listeners' association to its reflections and perspective!
In addition, the BARENAKED LADIES' international Fame from stellar Songs [like This] makes "Us Canadians" Extremely Proud!
Thank You SIR ED ROBERTSON!
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
@@jeffreybarkin3177 I'm sorry Sir Ed Robertson? Did Mr. Robertson accept British nationality? I was under the impression that Canadian citizens could not accept titles of nobility. You would need to become a British national to be knighted.
@@msamour
"Sir" is RESPECTFUL...
Admired ARTISTS deserve our RESPECT and Canadians should NOT be requiréd to involve The British Crown to Compliment our Stars...
Thank You for your Comment, but We're "NOT so Formal"!
[LOL]
The best era for music videos
Ahhhh memories.
Good memories of high school, hanging with friends, having parties every weekend, smokin weed. Good ol days
Man IT was such a blessing to wake up in the 90s and listen to one of the greatest periods of great music. The nostalgia is real, I tear up whenever I catch o. of those songs on radio, then I go to UA-cam and put it repeat all day. Nothing but pure excellence! !
dennis monroe I miss it!! Born in 1990 and the nostalgia feels are unreal make me sad but happy lol
How does this have only 6 million views? This deserves millions more!
heard this song for the first time on the OG Charmed growing up, loved it ever since
Great guitar, catchy and great lyrics. See you in 100 years, I bet the kids will agree. Perfect context for someone depressed but carrying on as if everything is great. The song captures this perfectly
EXACTLY
As soon as this beat started I got so excited lol. Nostalgia like crazy
1:37 always gets me lol
This is just as good or better than the day it was released! Thanks to everyone in this band for everything!
This song has a calming effect on me when I have a situation I need to get through.. It makes me think life isn't so bad after all.
funny considering this song is about depression xD
+Galilaohumpkins I just made you say underwear
Jeff same dude
Yep
Ian Rea it makes it not seem so bad personally helps you get along another day but glad you copied all the other comments and what we all know the songs about depression
Went and saw these guys last night in Indianapolis on the Lawn. Cant tell you how amazingly down to earth and funny these guys are. Had a great time, awesome show, if you get a chance to go see them live, DO IT!
Yup! Me too. It was an amazing show!
A timeless classic
110 percent
Classic song for sure.
I just made you say "underwear"
Hard to believe this album came out fifteen years ago.
Timeless!
These guys can spit those lyrics holy shit!
the memories of this song, underrated
My favorite thing about this song is how the fans swear its about depression but the writer says its about how life can be good but you still feel like it can be better
So underestimated and way ahead of its time. I miss this era of music so much
It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside
Like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
(I'm still asleep) When you try to see the world, beyond your front door
(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for
It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some dryer clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon
Like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
(I'm still asleep) When you try to see the world, beyond your front door
(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for
*Pinch me, pinch me, cause I'm still asleep*
*Please God tell me that I'm still asleep
*On an evening such as this*
*It's hard to tell if I exist*
If I pack the car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around
I could hide out under there
I just made you say "underwear"
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway
Take a drink right from the hose................... hahahahaha. Always makes me laugh.
2:09 is sendinggg me. 🤣💀
This song will always remind me of those days as a kid where times were much easier and the summers felt like they lasted forever. Sometimes I imagine I'll wake up as a kid in my old bed again, in my old house, and this whole growing up thing was just a dream.
ME TOO!!!🙏🏼
Yeah man, that hit deep.
Indeed
This is a great song, love the melody and harmonies
The Blues Clues dressed customers are hilarious!
Growing up with this song, I listen again in 2021 as an adult and this is simply what makes music beautiful. Combining the sounds you love to hear with the message you want to send.
I first heard this song when I was about nine or ten years old, I think it was even my first BNL song. Even before I knew what depression was or that I might one day potentially have some form of it, a song about feeling bad even when everything is okay kind of blew my mind. I think even those of us who don't suffer from depression have had times like that. Still one of my favorite songs ever.
A friend introduced me to this band. I must say am in love with this band. Almost all their songs have very sweet, simple, daily life kinda lyrics with a nice tone. SIMPLICITY IN ITS BEST FORM.
been searching for this music video half my entire life ... got to see this when I was a kid , ah nostalgia MTv and Ch.V days ....
It's been a while, but I heard this tune on the radio the other day, so now I'm here listening to it a few dozen times more.
Ah, the brilliance of this cheeky little ditty. Genius!
Thanks again BNL.
OMG I haven't heard this song in for-effing-ever!!! I'm excited!!!
Years ago, around the time of Pinch Me's release, I saw lead singer/guitarist Ed Robertson interviewed. I remember him talking about the song in cautionary terms, something about how the promise and potential of your life can easily slip away from you if you can't get yourself out of your room.
He was right; the bouncy, feel-good tempo notwithstanding you can't look at this video without thinking of the Henry David Thoreau quote: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."
DEEP
Even on Christmas Eve, my parents say come on over but never do. I’m avoiding the best people in my life thinking I have it set. I am in quiet desperation at age 21. Doesn’t want sex but the more fetish side, nothing crazy and I say I’m all alone, addicted to video gaming at the age of 5. But I choose solitary and now I’m empty
Dr. Pain well then dude, I know this is late, but you know the problem. Time to fix those problems because no one is coming to save you; not because they don’t care, but because they are desperate for their own salvation.
Jeeze this hits too close to home
I would always watch this video on VH1 right before school when it came out, what a flashback!
I'm on a 90s oldie binge...thanks to this quarente.
Enjoy is my friend , things change so fast who knows where we will end up!
same bro its the best vibes ong
Oldie binge? 😭 Thanks for that now i feel old 😂
Technically this song is 2000s because it came out in the year 2000, but I guess late 90s and very early 00s were pretty much the same era.
This song makes me so happy. The beginning reminds me of enjoying the simpler things in life like getting early, enjoying a beautiful morning, and drinking from a hose.
God Bless the 90S!!!
This got me through my early 2000 something when I was delivering pizza. Love this band.
Beings me back to a summer evening in a the late 90s. Windows open, warm air. Good times.
This is such a classic BNL song: intense meaning hidden behind a uptempo beat. I miss old BNL so much. :(
Hardest song to get outta your head!! On a lighter note, Awesome Song!!!
Such a unique amazing band
Lol the 👍 middlefinger part always makes me laugh
Man this song has hardcore 2020 vibes
I can't believe how old this song is. I guess that means I'm getting up there in years.
“Pack the car and leave this town” is the best thing I ever did. It took COVID for me to realize that there’s a better life elsewhere.
miss so much of all those years of 90's
This song just came on the radio.. first time i've heard it in like 11 years..i forgot how awesome it is
...the perfect time for 🤨🍔😐 lunch...
just a very cool song ... love it... 👍
just a ...pinch... indeed

The nostalgia this song holds is incredible.
Craziest part of this song is that it's about depression. You would never guess that based on how up-beat the song is.
Things are different now that we are old 👴
Such a great song with a deeper meaning. Great on so many levels.
You got to appreciate these guys lyrics and music; they are great
Funny ....song is aboot crippling depression but I feel happy when I hear it
why is it that every barenaked ladies song sounds like it could be in a Shrek movie? man they're awesome
To me, I think mostly every Barenaked Ladies song sounds like they could've been TV sitcom theme songs. Their 2015 hit songs "Say What You Want" and "Silverball" sounds exactly like they came from any TV Sitcom show.
Because it came out the same time as the rest of the music used in Shriek,
That era of music was awesome! That era was awesome in general!
One of my favorite bands. You can't be in a bad mood when listening to them.
Except the one about crippling depression… you know-this song. Listen again
After all these year's since this song has been released i've finally found out what artist this is...Barenaked Ladies Rock!
Still listening to good music in 2019 almost 2020
This early 2000 frivolous spending
Beauty in melancholy.
I remember this video came on endlessly on Insomiac Music Theater, back when Vh1 still showed music.
omg! ur awesome for knowing that show! when vh1 was actually good
I was a Kindergartner staying up late watching that show. The transitions scared the crap outta me, but the videos and the music were all kickass
It also, coincidentally, got me into Björk. lol
YES!!!!! Omg good times
Great song, then and now. The 90s were the best - not because the decade ignored pain or suffering, but because it was dealt with in more mature, nuanced, and intelligent ways. It's all laid bare today thanks to social media and changing cultural norms, and it's brutal.
Perfectly said.
My sister always loved this tune. I like it but it's one of her faves!
