[iJamsFilms]

This song is just GRAND. i dont even know "WHAT TO SAY"

[Nicholosity]

@iJamsFilms *rollface*

[bethajj]

suuucchhh i COOL video ;)

[MegustaMegnster]

incredible video, great beat and amazing band

[sensbombers]

2:19 - 2:37 = Musically one of my favourite parts of any song.

[SuperRandalman]

Youtube Boy Lights Fire!!

[aoke17]

i'd say it's more like:

people TALK, but they don't know what to say.

makes more sense

[Nicholosity]

this music video is amazing great work film makers.

[Rpodnee]

People fuck, but they don't know what to say.

[TheAdaization]

with headphone, it just kills all the other songs i liked instantly.

[musicthirsty91]

i wanna like mouth the words along with his lips lol

[Asianbeard]

So much emotion.

[dbsk06]

sooo gooodd

[Buzzdashat]

Warp Records Brang me Here

[stratboy62]

This tune is such a hit.. soundtrack to my last summer. If you like Ruffians, you would like Irish Indie/New Wave group Boy Lights Fire. Songs from the imminent release are available on the their facebook and breaking tunes pages.

[mfromthetrain]

Best song of 2010. It didn't get as huge as it deserved but it is definitely huge to me, and hugely popular in my ears!

[wemisssharron]

this was totally not the song i was looking for but .......... I LOVE IT ive listened to it like 5 times in like the last past 10 mins lol

[ikeeagles2014]

I wish my school played stuff like this at our dances and stuff but its always stupied crap... WHAT A SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

[linkarmhan17]

little garcon on american express; exposure for the ruffians! FINALLY!

[skulleton]

I'm a hipster you're a hipster we're all hipsters. It's ok, we don't need to talk about it. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the music, hipsters.

p.s. pitchfork

[bfebob]

one of my favorite songs now:)

[TheBigR441]

3 people clearly don't know what to say.....

[Switch344]

I have a version of this song that is not the vowls remix, and definitely not the version on say it, its faster and has a tough alliance like sound to it, anybody know what version this is?

[Emu1gmx]

is this really all done with the osciloscope (or whatever)

[AppalachianScholar18]

@Emu1gmx

No, oscilloscopes aren't capable of showing complex shapes. They just show waves and lines.

[Emu1gmx]

@AppalachianScholar18 yeah thats what I too... but how does this work then? its the Intro of a TV series on an oscilloscope: watch?v=6fNnSO5G6hM&feature=re­lated

[AppalachianScholar18]

@Emu1gmx

Oh well that's easy. An oscilloscope is very similar to a cathode ray tube television. Now an oscilloscope can only display waves. In theory you could mod one, but it would no longer be an oscilloscope it would be a television. They both work on the same principle.

[rbairos2]

@AppalachianScholar18 Actually the video was shot on an actual unmodified oscilloscope. The secret is in how you modify the input waveforms. Here's the making of What To Say: watch?v=2AYCUoGFJ3M

[AppalachianScholar18]

@rbairos2

Thanks for the video. I had no idea that O scopes could recreate such complex shapes. Well I figured they'd have to mod something. I just didn't think it'd be the signal.

[AppalachianScholar18]

@Emu1gmx

Actually it is. They just modded the wave form.

[Emu1gmx]

@AppalachianScholar18 thanks!

[weeblesproductions]

Love it :) :) :) :) :)

[chunkymilk]

Fuck Pitchfork, this song rocks.

[fronij]

@chunkymilk yeah, the fuck was with that 3 rating, total bullshit in my opinion

[SushiSoDelicious]

@chunkymilk I forgot how P4k trashed this album. I was disappointed as a result of expecting another Red, Yellow, Blue but Say It is still a solid album nonetheless.

[Connors116]

iii love this song and i love all of the born ruffians

[divineXOsunshine55]

story.of.my.life. im.obsessed.<3.

[trexmadi]

a while ago I heard the perfect term for Luke's voice... someone online described it as 'the yelp of an angel.' I almost died laughing because it just seems so fitting :)

on a similar note, UNF.

[MrChocolatenob]

On the CD the levels are shocking. If you have it loud enough to hear the guitar at a decent volume the vocals are so loud they are almost distorting. Invest in better recording facilities next time. Great song though. Also, don't reply please. I don't give a fuck what you think.

[ConeyIslandLow]

@MrChocolatenob My guess would be you downloaded a shit rip. But keep telling the musicians how to do their jobs. Seriously, you don't sound like a tool and I doubt that anybody besides me even thinks you look stupid.

[lovekvalvik]

@MrChocolatenob It's called Emphasis. They are emphasizing the lyrics. Music isn't always about how cool the guitar is, or how much bass there is. This band is very lyric oriented. A lot of Canadian bands are.

[michelynneable]

i F*#*(*$#()$* LUV YOU DEWDS, can we do a collaberation? Im a singer in LA

[tasha1494]

this song is so coollyperfect

[eddibeebi]

great band, great song, great video

can't wait to see them live, just one month to go

btw, do a search for the making of this video

[oettgend]

proud to be Canadian!

[cinder1fk4n3ella]

love drunk this <3

[jjlax328]

Very cool video

[FloggingMutton]

2:37 to 3:03

My favorite part, it just makes me so DAMN HAPPY.

[MsFifthstone]

I LIKE I THINK ITS SOOO WEIRD BUT I TOTALLY LIKE ....YEAH DEFIANTLY LIKE!!!!

[HawlHeed]

a wee vampire weekend vibe in there with the inventive vids and use of varied instruments :) i love these kinds of inventive indie styles :) (Y)

[DanMichelFerrisIII]

@HawlHeed vampire weekend has a born ruffian vibe

[katasticalCA]

thank you MTV <3

[ipodguru12]

@katasticalCA I knoooow right!

[kenrben]

They really got it right with the oscilloscope analog look...good song.

[gart2490]

this is one the best songs/video ive seen in a long time

[Zenstrummer]

I heard this is the only good song on the whole album

[squibble94]

@Zenstrummer No way. The rest are really good. There are a few I don't care for, but it's a good album.

[ahmadsahmoud]

Why is this song here when The Ballad of Moose Bruce is his best song but it's nowhere to be found? No offense against this song.

[Philfry3]

1:03 It kinda sounds like the tune from the intro of reading rainbow.

[Filotartas]

Linda esta música. Born Ruffians tá demais!

[boccafire]

wow, i feel like im in the 80's and this is the new hot song coming out on MTV... even tho i was born in 1988

[ubertubersuberfuber]

Amazing video, and amazing song!

Respects MTV!

[RaoulGuapo]

now playing on Radio Vaduz on facebook CROWD SOURCED MUSIC

[Meekseek]

Nice tune & video, thanks for sharing!

[AmnahWorld567]

MTV Canada brought me here!!!! <3

[SISfilms]

They are so epic live too! My favorite band! next conert = homemade shirts (:

I shook Mitch's hand!!!! (:

[ehwPOP]

i love how his head starts splitting, cool clip

[DreamSSequences]

2:46 ---->

Like the sound.

[setnominc]

Fragments, fleeting thoughts get strung together one by one by one... Smoke goes in my lungs....

[minoso58]

Good o-scope work!

[dany79v]

Clip is awesome!

[pablo67189]

this video is so cool and the music is awsome

[txschrnc1984]

video is cool. nuff said

[sarahE1995]

Sooo good live at WECC, Winnipeg.

[o0Leena0o]

im so frickin obsessed with this song!! its so perfect in every way.

[nosoup4u551]

why cant i download this album. someone help me. every song ive heard so far is the cats pajamas

[douglasclan3]

AWESOME....been dying for some new stuff!

[cullen1298]

You know when theres like an indie song once a year that suddenly gets huge and everybody knows it. This should be that song, they deserve the exposure, fucking sublime stuff.

[OMJosef1996]

@cullen1298 u've got some wisdom my brother, ever hear of gorillaz?

[cullen1298]

@OMJosef1996 Ta lol, and of course i have yeah, how come?

[OMJosef1996]

@cullen1298 idk u seem like i kind of person who would know em

[sobekflakmonkey]

@cullen1298 Agreed, i hope they blow up like vampire weekend did, that way they will be able to do bigger showssss!!! :D

[DylanFlanagan]

@sobekflakmonkey Uhh. No. Vampire Weekend's music has changed so much for the worst ever since their overexposure. 

[sobekflakmonkey]

@DylanFlanagan Okay...stop trying to be such a hipster...like I get it...for whatever reason you feel entitled to the music because "you found it first" or whatever, but your not entitled, and everybody should be able to enjoy just great music, and in my opinion vampire weekend is still great, I saw them in like september I think, i know its a long time ago, but they were amazing.

[DylanFlanagan]

@sobekflakmonkey I hate hipsters. I don't care who found what first. Their music actually got worse, their new album sucks. It's a bunch of songs that would've been semi-enjoyable, sped up into a compilation of annoying noises.

[cafehug]

@DylanFlanagan wow dude. I dislike hipsters as much as the next guy but who the fuck are you to say their new album sucks. Just cause you can't appreciate other songs..

[bridget281100]

@DylanFlanagan Your an idiot. the new album is amazing. Go sniff your own farts or something.

[DylanFlanagan]

@bridget281100 I'm an idiot, and you just told me to sniff my own farts.

[bridget281100]

@DylanFlanagan haha I did... but I was in a bad mood, I was just trolling. I'm sorry if I offended you...

[DylanFlanagan]

@bridget281100 Trollolololololollol

[bridget281100]

@DylanFlanagan :D havent seen that video in a while... but am i forgiven, because I actually feel bad..

[PatrickOliverr]

@cullen1298 Sublime's cool too yeah

[katyc130890]

Fuck. They are so good live. Saw them last night in Edmonton!! Best concert ever!

[ARHmaniac]

@katyc130890 I saw them live too (in San Fransisco), and they are AMAZING live.

[katyc130890]

@ARHmaniac Aren't they?? Everyone was going nuts. Even some crowd surfing. Such a great time. I would love to see them again live. How long ago did you see them?

[ARHmaniac]

@katyc130890 I saw them two weeks ago, which was just after their new album came out. I was honestly worried that they weren't going to sound good live, but they sounded even better live then they do on CD.

and yah. I'm waiting for them to come back to California.

[ojhayam]

@ARHmaniac

I saw them live yesterday. They were so freaking fantastic. They were definitely better live. Which is always awesome. Because they were pretty freaking great on the cd!

[GrannoBalls]

oh sexual

[slightlyretarded1]

Don't like this kinda music but this song is wicked...

[adriennejlee]

new fave song and i love the video too

[philsnk]

It can't stand on it's own without the guitar, but the Gospel mixed in with the sensationism is great. Best idead I've ever seen. And that x-ray machine, cause I know it is, is amazing. The stuff it's doing, wow.

[jbairos1]

@philsnk It is an awesome video. THey're using an oscilloscope though, not an x-ray machine. Still très cool.

[beaversimpson]

Can't wait to buy the new album
