Palmer, Amanda - Vegemite (The Black Death) Lyrics
You tell me that you love me when I'm lying by your side
You tell me that I am the only one who understands your troubled mind
That I am blind to any evil you can do
And that I love you more than any other girl could ever do
And you love love as much as I do and you love my dirty looks
And you love me right now
So how can you love... Vegemite?
It tastes like sadness
It tastes like batteries
It tastes like asses
I cannot hold a man so close who spreads this cancer on his toast
It is the Vegemite, my darling, or it's me
You have to make a fucking choice
The very smell of it obliterates my senses
And if that weren't bad enough you also eat the shit for lunch
Which means we can't spend any time together
What kind of relationship is that?
The choice is yours, my heart is in your hands...
Please wash your hands
You just ate Vegemite for lunch you selfish bastard
It's all about you, isn't it?
It's just take, take, take, take
What about me? What about my feelings?
I'm sorry
I had this really awful experience when I was six years old
And our British next door neighbor, Christopher Gill, he was babysitting us
And he made me eat an entire spoonful of Marmite
Which is just like Vegemite pretty much except it's even grosser
He made me eat it by telling me it was chocolate fudge
And so I swallowed the whole thing and then I had to go to the bathroom and throw up
And it really traumatized me and I'm sorry I got so emotional, I just...
I love you, and no matter what you eat
I'll always love you completely
I might just always leave the room at meal times
Or refuse to kiss or touch you for a week
If you insist on putting that foul death paste in your mouth
You're in my heart, but put yourself inside my shoes
I have to know, it shouldn't be too hard to choose
I know it's tearing you apart, but it's the way it has to be
It is the Vegemite, my darling
It is the Vegemite, my darling
Put down the Vegemite, you fucker, or I'll leave

Palmer, Amanda Vegemite (The Black Death) Comments
This song is almost 9 years old now and it's still true. Taste like batteries and asses death paste.
Maybe he was trying to be romantic by eating all the vegimite so there would be none left for her to have to eat
just tried it for the very first time; was awful.. really how could you even smell it ?
Now I'm curious to know how does that really taste :O google tells me it's an Australian food, but Australia is on the other side of the planet!
You tell me that you love me when I'm lying by your side
You tell me that I am the only one who understands your troubled mind
That I'm blind to any evil you can do
And that I love you more than any other girl could ever do
You love the things that I love: you love art and you love books
And you love love as much as I do and you love my dirty looks
And you love me right now
So how
Can you love...
Vegemite. It tastes like sadness
It tastes like batteries. It tastes like asses
I cannot hold a man so close who spreads this cancer on his toast
It is the Vegemite, my darling, or it's me
You have to make a fucking choice
I cannot sit with you at breakfast
The very smell of it obliterates my senses
And if that weren't bad enough
You also eat the shit for lunch
Which means we can't spend any time together
What kind of relationship is that?
The choice is yours, my heart is in your hands
Please wash your hands
You just had Vegemite for lunch you selfish bastard
It's all about you, isn't it
It's just take, take, take, take
What about me!
What about my feelings!
I'm sorry...

Put down the vegEMITE YOU FUCKER
I seem to be the only one in scotland who loves marmite
1:35 Well, most Amanda Palmer fans enjoy the taste of asses. So the message is lost.
I love this - something Tom Lehrer - esk about it but so Amanda Palmer. I love it.
Vegemite smells like dog food and reminds me of very low grade meat. Agreeing with Amanda on this topic.
I used to listen to this while I walked to work and I used to look like a lunatic laughing my ass off walking down the highway.
This did not stop being hilarious just because I discovered I like Marmite.
Considering vegemite is fucking amazing, I have to assume that -- logic and engineering dictates -- Amanda Palmer's pussy must be the exact opposite of fucking amazing. Conclusion? This is a song she sings while staring lovingly down at her own pussy.
Gavel Pound what kind of fucking comment is that
Sorry you're retarded.
Dose Neil ... Like ... Vegemite ?
I pick the FUCKING MARMITE
Hard to pick a favorite Amanda Palmer song, but this one's up there. :)
Haha, when my sister gets a boyfriend, this is the first thing she shows them!
Pfft real woman eat vegemite WITH their man.
@GamerDares Wins *OFF their man
@5Corundum5 ooh ;)
I'd choose vegemite over any girl
Amanda F'n' Palmer is F'n' brilliant.
Despite the humorous twist to this song, it really is beautiful... especially right at 3:11
AHHH NO VEGEMITE IS AWESOME!! AWESOME I TELL YOU!! AWWEESOMMMEEEEEE!
vegemite and cheese yum yum ... thats how its done in kiwiland :)
I was like this with peanut butter for a long long time...
neil gaiman brought me here <3
haha I found her through Neil as well :) I went to his book signing where he talked about dedicating his book to his wife. You know I went home and googled her and WOW. Way to go Neil!!!
Fair enough haha
i think amanda brought me to neil
Vegemite is pretty good stuff, but a lot of people who try it for the first time don't realize that you're not supposed to put a thick layer of it on toast or eat any large amount in one sitting, and they end up regretting the whole experience XD
You're right! I'm a Kiwi and I should know. They should have just the merest dab on the tip of their knife (sandwich/buttering knife NOT sharp, slicing, dangerous knife), and lick it just a bit on the first time around! Then on the next go STAB the knife into that dark brown paste! Scoop out a wad! Slurp it off that knife, and lick it clean! Grimace like all hell! Impress those foreign chicks!!! Or, alternatively, impress those local boys who catch your eye, if you're a foreign chick! I remember this young Hungarian lovely in Hokitika who was sold on the use of Vegemite as a virility gauge, would use a table-spoon of the stuff and then look sideways at ya if you couldn't keep up! I tell ya, keep Vegemite away from your missus!! Unless you're Johnnie-On-The-Spot, o'course.
Vegemite is supposed to be eaten by the spoonful. However, you need to be prepared for the salt intake. I have never encountered a quicker way to go from 'asleep' to 'awake' though. Hydrate responsibly.
Best love-song ever!
I've listened to this about 500 times and the "i love you" gets me every time. Amanda Palmer is an incredible performer. Congrats on your good work!!!
vegemite kid here as well :), still a great song
My girlfriend showed me this, then started talking to me about my Vienna sausages..
This is brilliant. If you've ever dated or been married to a Brit...(who loves that shit)...you'd appreciate this so much more.
Thank you for the belly-laugh!!! That's the funniest thing I've heard today!
I love vegemite... im from Australia... VEGEMITE HATER ;-;
I appreciate your perspective, you are unquestionably entitled to your opinion and can definitely understand that if you had a childhood experience as mentioned within the content of this song Marmite would not be your favorite substance. But you're wrong. It is not only delicious, but it is far from the worst thing you can have on toast, my girlfriend spreads humus on hers - a subtle blend of chickpeas and what I can only assume is some kind of mammal bile from the consistency and stench.
Could be, but I've seen a lot of stupid stuff get in the way of love.
Vegemite is so old school it's my childhood aww memories :)
wheres the rest?
Vegemite is amazing... Vegemite on toast is my childhood
Maybe it's just you.
It's all much of a muchness to the rest of us who don't love carmelized, salty sweetened brewer's yeast, you realize....
True, True.!!!
I'm annoyed. My friend resides on the floor above me and he just grew outstanding at obtaining ladies. He found the Master Attraction web page (Check in Google) by Jake Ayres. Now I hear him bringing chicks back. He's constantly having chicks back. I can't help but hear it, which is yucky and I wish he never found that site. My best friend is getting laid now too coz of that site. I am envious!
It seems its always something. What is your Vegemite? Kryptonite? Troglodyte? Why is it that there always seems to be something that takes us out of relationship, a wart, a mole, a fart, a big black hair growing out of someone's nose, The presence of which becomes insurmountable. Are we that petty? Insecure? Are we that strange? Isn't it all so fascinating?
I dated a girl for about a year who is very nice and sweet and we are still friends...but she loved the Saw movies. I never understood that.
I really want that underwear.
it's not just the vegemite.... it's hating something someone you love REALLY loves, like magic cards, or salmon, or marijuana. There a few of my least favorite things that all these losers I always love and date always love and I hate. I can never sit with these assholes at breakfast. and then they taste like asses for the rest of the day because for some reason straight men don't wash (see margaret cho gay dick vs straight dick, it's not just me who's noticed. wtf boys?)
*this rant is not over
the best.
Just awesome! :)
I found that truly informative. I'm here simply because my best friend without warning turned extraordinary with girls. He started getting women magically. He behaved as if it was ordinary for a while. He ultimately came clean two days ago. Turns out he makes use of the Jake Ayres Master Attraction Formula. Google it if you wish to learn about it... He's seeing a beauty... Lucky man! Where are the most useful movies on Youtube?
That was fantastic material. I found this coz my buddy evolved into a lady-magnet He began attracting girls over night. I was stunned. He pretended he failed to notice. He ultimately admitted it on Friday. He revealed he learned from the Jake Ayres Master Attraction Formula. Google it if you'd like to learn about it... He's on a date right now with a stunning girl...
but, but, but, it doesnt taste that bad
BRAVO!!
Vegemite is great.
I feel just the same way! Marmite though... it's gross.
No man, but with jam it's really incredible, adds a sweet taste, once you add jam your taste buts go into a state of nirvana, its a really crazy and complex taste.
Vegemite and jam, get on it :)
can't stop laughing! everytime i heard "can you love....vegemite!"
De gustibus non diputandem est
I just converted my American boyfriend to eat Vegemite! He even craves it! Long live Vegemite :)
this is the best, XD i kill myself laughing everytime i hear it.
GREAT SONG AMANDA - It leaves a rotton taste in a lot of Aussie's mouths as well when they find out : ALTHOUGH THE COMPANY THAT OWNS VEGEMITE "Phillip Morris Tobacco "( coincidentally the song refers to THE BIG "C" CANCER ? there is a direct link !! ) DECEPTIVELY PORTRAY IT AS AUSTRALIAN - IT'S NOT AUSTRALIAN, IT'S FOREIGN OWNED ! You should all switch to OZEMITE or AUSSIEMITE - two great AUSSIE owned and made alternative NON CARCINOGENIC PRODUCTS !!!
she keeps corpsing, bullshite
Spam as in tinned meat or the monty python song: Spam, Spam Spam cos either would go well I reckon..
Plays :)
Absolutely brilliant, she has a brilliant voice for every song she sings and acts and palys etc .Big thumbs up !!!
Hahahahah oh my god, Amanda.
I love the album picture. That girl could be anywhere in the world and she has all she needs
Sorry...She's an amazing artist.
She an amazing artist.
Haha this is exactly how my boyfriend feels about me and my love of raw onions.
Because I keep singing this song, my brother picked up on it and questioned me. We now sing Men At Work - Land Down Under as 'vegemite sandwich' is one of the lyrics. Brilliant!
What are you talking about? This IS a gorgeous love song. :D
This song is funny!
I actually like VM but it's a tad bit salty.
No wonder you dont like Vegimite after eating a spoonful of Marmite :o) LOL, I can just see the look on your face - thats funny. Vegimte rocks!
Whenever I see someone trying vegemite I've noticed that they use WAY too much. You have to use half a tub of butter and then the teeniest amount of vegemite....until you get used to it then you swap the amounts and eventually you just eat it out of the jar like it's Nutella
I'm hungry for Vegemite...
Vegemite is wonderfull.
Yeah, only Australians can like Vegemite... I don't even know how we enjoy it to be honest... I don't even like salty foods... I don't even... yeah. I'm Australian. I don't even understand myself...
I live in Michigan, United States.
Where can I buy this album? I need this song to live.
oba oba
Woo Melbourne!... oh wait you're not talking about the one in Florida.
One person isn't a happy little vegemite.
i want the sheet music to this right now!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I came for the ass
And so did you!
Please wash your hands!
delightful
@tripletailedfox Neil is NEVER allowed to die! :)
LMAO death paste XD god i love her
i feel with her so bad!
once in school there was a teacher from australia. she told us about the yummy australian chocolate. we were exited about trying this stuff so our class had to form a line.... and she gave us "australian chocolate"....
now we know how the hell tastes like... D:
<3 her!
and i really like the stuff, can understand why other people wouldn't though (.^_^.) but a briljant song nonetheless saw both of them live Neill came on stage in Amsterdam yeee!
This is bloody brilliant. I have no idea what Vegemite actually is, but it makes the message clear. Laughed like an ass.
Death paste! OMG, so funny
@glennrieck1 Or Marmite, as the man himself is probably more used to :p
AHAHAHA This is FANTASTIC!
this woman is so brilliant.
Pay attention Neil, no Vegemite.
