The Postal Service Auditions 

How have i gone this long without this excellence?!? Tom Delonge? Duff? Weird Al?!?!?!?! Moby?? I'm ovewhelmed. So Outstanding! Love y'all.

I... I never thought I'd watch a shirtless and bald man scream and wreak havoc on a recording studio while the instrumental to Such Great Heights plays.

I would still absolutely adore a full cover of Aimee Mann singing "Clark Gable". I think about this all the time.

"I'm from sunny day real estate" "oh im more of a remax guy myself"

Aimee Mann makes Clark Gable sound so good acoustic. I WANT A COVER!

the world needs an album with weird al covering the postal service

"kids like energy, they do. I've seen it" - Tom Delonge

When Ben finally was up there & then started singing... Goosebumps instantly.

"I don't need this indie.. fuckin... shit" lmfao how have i never seen this

Just got back from the DCFC/The Postal Service show in New Haven, CT. Fantastic. Thanks to the bands and crew for a memorable experience!

I watched this a couple years ago before I knew who Marc Maron was and when I watched it the other week I laughed my ass off at his scene. He's my favorite part of this video, hands down.

"He likes that! That's hilarious." Oh Marc Maron

This was hillarious....is it just me or does Ben Gibbard look like a different person every time I see him?

Thoughts: 1. That performance was the polar opposite of what I expected from what I know about Moby 2. I never ever ever thought I would see Weird Al cover the Postal Service

Cause like what even is music you know

The first guy that comes on stage is the drummer for The Mountain Goats and Superchunk. Freaking love him..

Weird Al man! "Sure you don't want to go with the accordion guy, he rocked."

YA BOI TOM DELONGE

Weird Al killed it! Loved it.

Aimee Mann and Duff McKagan also appeared on Portlandia for essentially the same joke. Is there just a reserve of musicians on standby for cameo work?

So much talent used for such short gags. Just amazed to be going to see the postal service live!

Tom DeLonge keeps his cool! Yet the nicest one of all. Seriously, he's awesome.

Tom Delonge & Moby made this video for me haha

For 7 years and change, I didn't know this existed. It's so good.

I wish Tom DeLonge had a longer part.

Bens hair.

I would do almost anything to have Aimee Mann actually sing that song or do covers of all of the Postal Service...

years later..... and i just want a full album of Weird Al Postal Service Covers

Please, please tell me there's a full version of Aimee Mann covering Clark Gable. That sounded amazing.

holy crap that acoustic Clark Gable sounded amazing

I need Aimee Mann doing acoustic versions of so many songs, including & ESPECIALLY Clark Gable. This belongs in my life.

If Weird Al made a Postal Service cover album, I'd buy it.

"We comb through Myspace, Friendster, all the sites..." Lol 2003

"All that was on purpose." Marc Maron is a god.

I have such strong amazing memories filled with happiness and love tied to this whole album. Thank you. ❤

Tom Delonge cracks me up!

How the hell did they get all these greats together?! Such a great project and still fresh today.

TOM DELONGE!! :D

so many good choices, 1)Moby.2) weid al 3) duff 4) mark marion

I dig Moby's music but I think this might be the coolest thing he's ever done!

moby on that death grips sht

Weird Al was fire.

I come back and watch this once every other year or so

the Weird Al part unironically slaps. I'm pretty sure there are more than a couple accordion parts on Give Up

I would put most of the money I've earned in this life into a Weird Al "Give Up" tribute album as a Kickstarter project.

Aimee Mann would be a perfect person to work with Jimmy Tamborello

Duff's shit was pure dry comedy...best part of the clip!

I can hardly believe this video marking the 10th anniversary of Give Up is now 10 years old.

HOLY SHIT I CAME HERE CAUSE THE POSTAL SERVICE BUT THEN TOM DELONGE COMES ONSTAGE AND WHAT?1//111//???

Ben is wearing a wig because this is supposed to take place when postal service just started a few years back, and this is how he had his hair then.

lol @ tom delonges face at the end of his part

damn i wish rivers was in this

the weird al cover is freakin awsome!

THE MOBY SCENE HOLY SHIT

never get old... thank you

i like how jimmy's expression is the same the whole time! xD thank god the postal service is returning! now my life is once again complete

Give Up turned 20 just a couple weeks ago !!! 😭

This video deserves a couple more million views. . .

Duff...best part in this whole bit!

i personally loved weird Al on accordion!! great cover of Silhouettes! Also-was Ben wearing a wig?

OMG i've watched this like a dozen times and am only just now getting that the keyboard that "needs to be smaller" is a microkorg lol

This is actually the greatest video on RU-vid

Marc Maron's bit is hilarious

The Moby bit was pure gold!

Moby ahead of the curve with the Confide version like 5 years early

TOM DELONGE from San Diego... Punk rock!!! \m/

Tom was great

I don't know how I missed this but it's f**king hilarious

this is like the best thing i've seen all day. only better after seeing them play last night

Ben gibbard is an ever evolving russet potato human. He looks like he morphs just a lil bit everytime I see him.

I GOT SO FUCKING HAPPY WHEN TOM DELONGE CAME UP

now i kinda wanna hear aimee mann finish that cover

"It's Axle, Slash, the guy in the top hat and Buckethead." 😆😆😂😂

This is AMAZEBALLS!

Moby could honestly be in a harsh noise or power electronics act doing that bit.

Jimmy is the really shy guy in class. Then he just plops out albums that were 15 years ahead of their times

Awsome, I bet only a few would get the whole thing about it. For whatever reason they were my soundtrack to a long, long driving trip beguinning in LA and ending in central México.

haha, that was so great, loved it

This was GREAT! Loved it. I'm so cool music ignorant that I didn't get half the jokes. In all the time I was a "muso" I never did auditions, this video shows you why. I was in a band that was independent of the music industry & consequently got nowhere fast. Perversely that's a badge of honour to egotistical shits like me. As regards the vid, I was a bit worried to see Moby smashing his fist into the table. I think he'll regret doing that - it must have hurt. I saw Aimee Mann in Manchester years ago, with my mate Locky, we both agreed that it was 1 of the worst gigs (enjoyment wise) we'd ever been. The audience loved it. I think we were the only 2 there who didn't. No reflection on Aimee, we were both very lucky to have been so many gigs previously that were so fucking good. Locky went to infinitely more than me. But that was largely due to me being busy with my own shit (SHIT).

TOM DELONGE!!!!!!

OMG moby freaking out is classic!!!! awesome sauce

Jon Daly is brilliant in this.

This was SO funny! The dude at 4:58 was insane! I'm so glad Ben won the auditions. Perfect match, them two.

I've seen this a lot of times; it never gets old.

Kids like energy.. Hahahah most of what I do is great. Too funny there

Got Nate up in the joint

How am I just now seeing this in 2021... Damnit RU-vid do better!

Enjoyed this video! All the best!!

how have i never seen this? moby is my fave.

weird al killed it !

This is why I love RU-vid.

Tom Delonge earns title of UFO researcher of the year

"I think we both hate bass" I died

I wish there was more Postal Service...

Fumbling around on a palm pilot like it's 2002. Perfect.

I loved seeing Nate

Out of all the lyrics, Weird Al sang the perfect lyrics for him. I would so buy that album.

Page from Helmet tore it upppp

“All that was on purpose”
