TheRunningActor Says:
He doesn't have and Irish accent he is from Ohio. Stop being so sensitive its a joke
durkapants Says:
Wine on stage. Can't get much classier folks.
TheTurtleOfTitch Says:
Don't be so ignorant. You can't joke about the English with an Irish accent and ever expect it to be seen as a joke. Especially with a band named 'The National' .... It would be like having a frontman of a band called The PLO saying comments about Israel. There is no way such comments could be seen as a joke. Grow up.
Rob Long Says:
He is being self deprecating saying that people in England surely have something better to do at 3 in the morning than watch The National. Perhaps he should have added commentary on the English's sense of humor.
ramonaciucan Says:
Gorgeous, wonderful band. Full of substance and genuinely obscure If I may say. Which is brilliant.
edwardwballi Says:
i love this band. and this song makes me love all of you.
Coolasfonzie Says:
Because they're DESPERATE TO ENTERTAIN!
Taylorlaurencecook Says:
30 seconds of straight bullshit. Some of these artists need to make their voices heard and get rid of this invasive corporate interference.
mlemmerman Says:
I am English, and have no opinion about the betterness or loserness of the English. But why call the English losers though? To ingraciate yourself with the non-English audience? Shallow.
FishyJizz Says:
I'm English watching this at 3:27am... :( FML
zaireekashimi Says:
He's not calling the English losers, he's calling the people awake at 3am watching them losers.
TheTurtleOfTitch Says:
Wow, I just put a link on my FB to this song. Now I've heard the band calling us losers and hearing the crowd laughing, I'm removing it. I'll put this link instead so that the people who were taking an interest in the band from the original link - think again. Geeez, Ratner and his jewellery quip springs to mind.
TheEgan79 Says:

broboy92 Says:
Oh my god, I can't believe I didn't even think of Tom Waits. Jeez. Now THAT is something I would DEFINITELY pay to see. :D
Zane9471 Says:
When I think about someone covering Terrible Love I immediately think of Tome Waits actually.
broboy92 Says:
lmao, it would actually be funny to see them play together. Can you imagine Zakk Wylde pounding out "Terrible Love" with the Dessners? I would pay to see that, man.
