This is fantastic, I like it.

Hurray for videoness.

The video's made it's way onto Youtube already, which isn't that surprising.

Each of the three verses, plus the spoken part are examples of typical postings you might find on Craigslist.

Check out this list of the "Best of Craigslist" for some examples. There are quite a few that closely resemble the second verse.

Love the song and video! I am not a huge Doors fan but am very familiar with them and Al really has topped himself this time! Great job to Al and the band. The quality of this original shows that Al's writing is better than ever and hopefully foreshadows what is yet to come. Dancers in the background would have been funny but the video is not bad at all!
Again, nice job to everyone involved. I like the song and the video a lot!

Hi there, short time forum-browser, first time poster...

Anyway, I just saw the new "Craigslist" vid on spinner...and I gotta say, neither the video or the song let me down...I LOVED IT!!!!! GREAT JOB, AL!!!

The second verse and the spoken word segment cracked me up...and the video looks great and had mesmerising effects for something that was shot in front of a green screen in a garage...

If they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the lyrics were merely the icing on the cake to Al's musical pastiche composition

Can't wait to get it on my mp3 player tomorrow!

I predict this will be the next "Germs" or "WBYL" in the live performance...

Yowza! Leather pants!!!

Nicely done, Al. Great style parody, guys!

Blah to the Doors and this song.

Loved the acid effects (affects?)!

I wonder if Al chose to style parody The Doors for Craigslist because of the peace sign that shows up by the website?

EDIT: Has anyone been over at the mothership lately? It's set up like the Craigslist website!
