Anyone Else But You

It's one of those inexplicable things- throw together a lovely, quirky little song (plus clever lyrics...), two untrained voices trembling with just that right touch of adolescent yearning, and a montage of poignantly funny scenes, and you get one incredibly moving video.

The first time I heard the song (this version of it at least), I felt like I was 15 again- that time in your life when all you needed was a smile from your crush to make your day, and a fight with your best friend turned your whole world upside down. It made me happy and sad all at the same time...



And I haven't even seen the film yet!!
You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du

Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Don Quixote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
But you...

- "Anyone Else But You" (originally performed by The Moldy Peaches)

I didn't realise this was from Juno till I saw the movie this weekend. Beautiful movie and the way the song is sung by the two of them brought a tear to my eye.

Me too!- And we STILL haven't seen it yet.. :( I just didn't want to admit that a song/video from a movie I have yet to see almost made me cry, but I'm glad I'm in good company :) Now I really CAN'T WAIT to see it!
