For those who are wondering, read the description.

[mikeyross88]

Great song, over 13 years old now and still sounds so contemporary

[sslim09]

@mikeyross88 : totally agree with you! 13 years on and this tune still rocks!

[irishnavyman99]

first time i heard this song was thanks to trigger happy tv thank you this song is great

[christhesnaildriver]

Second that DriverDuff! Long live trigger Happy TV!

[NoobUBoob]

no. i thinks it was his father who was 'the complete genius' supposedly. here is what i found from the most reliable source on the net(wiki)

Everett's father Hugh was a mathematician and quantum theorist, notable for formulating the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics in 1957. At the time, his theory was dismissed and he worked on military and industrial mathematics. Hugh was a distant father and an alcoholic. He died of a heart attack on July 19, 1982.

[shobba12345]

die yer basterd otter

[KyeHip]

was riding through Oklahoma in (I think)

'95 (the day the tornados hit anyway, my dad had gotten tired of all the storm warnings and flipped it to 104.5 the Edge and this was playing, then we actually saw the tornado! stopped to get under an overpass mid song.

if it was '95 then i was 9yrs at the time

[pixarian]

some more awesome Romanek eye.

[nydude6009]

me and my cousins and you and your cousins

[Krystoff2634]

Cette chanson est vraiment belle. Et les mélodies à la guitare sublimes. Je me souviens de cette chanson qui passait souvent sur MTV à cette époque. C'est génial de la redécouvrir aujourd'hui car elle n'a pas vieilli :)

[jakebath]

e's a complete genius, even tho he looks like a crazy harry potter

[ledzepgirl92]

@jakebath You are so damned right! :D

[RedRadification]

God this song,and the album bring back sooooo many memories....Love it.

[crewhawdert]

yup! E is the most gifted, music genius ever

[placibito]

i love this song man they are very great at the sound moreover when i heard them for the first time was with this song i like it so much man greetings from peru here we are many fans of eels not many but the best of the best

[RomyTherapy25]

Love his headphones

[bptw331]

Thirteen years after first hearing this song I finally realized that it's a song about a cocaine problem.

[300hotboy]

no it's not.E(the singer) has said it's about how desperate he had been feeling around the time he wrote the song.

[lilnasty59]

Love this video ahh to be young, such nostalgia

[gnss4evr]

damn miss this shit!! thanks for the post

[1337tonyb]

beautiful song

[Layk35]

i didn't know Amir was the lead singer of eels...

[Makadonska27]

Great song!

[drewsky684]

I remember getting this album on fucking tape when I was in middle school...i'm 25 now...old fuck

[anisfeve]

ME too bro!

[Northernsharpshooter]

@anisfeve this video is trippy...

[LambertTheShpshLion]

I am amazed somebody born in the eighties have ever even seen a tape let alone actually have play a tape and OWN. You're not old just weird.

[TrampintheAttic]

I was born in the seventies and Ive STILL got my tape collection mixes the lot

[LordPrick]

I Think That The Lead Singer's REAL MOTHER Is None Other Than OTEP!!!

...

Scary... I Think That She Is Quoted As Singing That Her Son Is "Perfectly Flawed"... As For "Jesus And His Lawyer"... Hmmm... I'm Not Into Judaism Or Satanism... I Can't Help You On THAT.

[borntobarf]

new comment please !

[kives1985]

It's sad that this guy's family is all dead.

[Daragon525]

trippy

[chet900]

I want to swing on a cable on novacaine

[TheSemperreformanda]

I can't help but think of "Trigger Happy TV" when I hear this....

[DjGizzo]

hello ,,,,,, HEllO yeh am on youtube YEH looking for trigger clips ,,,, reading comments .... YEH its crap

[ivangrozny27]

lol yeah it rings a bell. which episode was it?

[wreckedpc]

Squirrel gang brought me to this song.

[Emyrsaurus]

why

[astralwarrior8]

reminds me of the late nineties!

[ilikesquiggly]

i love this video, it makes no sense

[ilikesquiggly]

I know, im talking about the video itself, i own like 5 eels albums and i havent watched many of the videos

[Donkamille]

Verpasse kein konzert in berlin

[divaxdeath]

great song!!! i,ve been looking for this song for two years, i didn't know the band´s name, jajaja

[pbrlimit]

DAMMIT ! I don't want to be 30 - I want it to be 1992 when I was 12 and enjoying life !

[jasoncinema]

I hear you. I'm two years away from that milestone myself.

[0Doctor0Destino0]

¿Acaso es Michael Moore? ¡Jajaja!

[docterprocter09]

yeah i read his book, he's been through a lot. he seemed to be surrounded by death his whole life.

brilliant song! love it!

[MaxstertheBard211]

Jesus and his lawyer are coming back on December 24, 2012!

[iamheasyouaremeandwe]

haha what a nut. I wonder how many people throughout history have had their minds dominated by similar myths from different religions? There are literally thousands upon thousands of gods that have been imagined by man throughout history and yours is no different. Santa Claus isn't real either.

[mentalcherriesrcool]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

snif snif! Santas real, he is. Isnt he?

lol :D

[MaxstertheBard211]

There's a line in there that says Jesus and his lawyer are coming back. I was being sarcastic about their own sarcastic remark. God damn, it was sarcasm.

[jasoncinema]

Sarcasm's tasty.

[matthewteague]

now is that sarcasm or are we too sad to be honest you must find your inner peace then type, clear your mind with a smoke,mabye some absinth. i dont know.

[paulisdeadiburiedhim]

Im his lawer!

[300hotboy]

then that must mean im jesus :D

btw about your name:you didn't bury him

the walrus and the eggman did :)

[londonoverground]

this is fucking with my head...

[Oninodojo]

They were signed to Dreamworks because E is friends with Spielberg... in fact, that's who directed this video.

[Karlos1760]

Then why does it say at the beginning that it was directed by Mark Romanek? You better have a pretty good explanation for this one buddy.

[Lilylove3945]

Reading his book, you realize how much this man has been through. He found his father dead from a heart attack, his sister committed suicide, he cared for his mother as cancer broke her down little by little and eventually took her life. On top of that a plane crashed in his neighborhood and he witnessed countless dead bodies as a child. I think he may be entitled to write an album on whatever, and however, he chooses. Props.

[renrengrin]

that makes my problems seem like nothing, I think its safe to say that what hasn't killed him as made him stronger. For he is indeed a musical genius and inspiration in a jar.

[Woco2]

His cousin was a stewardess on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon too !, apparently he really doesn't want to know if his father's old office was destroyed, the man is a personal hero of mine on many fronts.

[fiend666x]

i love this song, but this is definitely not what i was expecting when i envisioned a video.

probably Mark Everett's deceased father, whom he lost as a teenager, that LoneConformist is referring to

[icemaiden06]

great title for a song

[LoneConformist]

I like this song 'cause of the line "Jesus and his lawyer are coming back." But I hated the Eels albums, every single song was about a dead sister, or dead mother. It reminded me of that line from Rushmore, "So we both have dead people in our families." Just writing about death does not automatically equal emotion. They were the Arcade Fire of their time. Plus, they were prominently featured in American Beauty and signed to Dreamworks -- yecch.

[Diekj]

A few months ago, I bought Electro-Shock Blues, just cause it was quite cheap and cause I heard a lot about Eels, but never really started listening.

But after that album, I was totally in love with Eels. All of their music is touching, and so true! <3 Eels

[cut3colombian]

this shit suckssss

[Archie4]

am I retarded because the snare drum ruins this song for me? it reminds me too much of "2 Princes"

[Diekj]

noo you're not retarded ;) i know what you mean, reminds me too,

but the snare drum doesn't ruin the song for me though...

[eraserheads2008]

u should hear their other song like

MY BELOVED MONSTER, used as a soundtrack song in shrek.. a nice song also.

[Archie4]

love the shit out of that song

[Psyhcojason]

i used this song in a video, and it got rejected because of copyright. Its a good song and i cant use it :(

[bristoc]

novocaine for my soul

[Grunbeldodd]

Trigger Happy TV Springs To Mind. The Gang Of Squirells.

[diedelpozo]

When they first launched this video, there was a similar band, that I cannot remember their name. In the promoted video clip, they played in a white room. They were 4 or 5 guitars. I have the melody in my mind, but I cannot remember the lyrics. Someone help!!! We´re talking about 1997. Any IDEA???

[jbm3906]

flaming fips - she don't use jelly?

they just needed more publicity.

EELS FUCKING ROCK

[Wjoe09]

Wonderful husky voice

[oxmishmashxo]

luv this song y cudnt i be around when theese guys stated

[FredrickTesla]

This song is so good. Reminds me of a better time in music, when songs didn't have to be 'about something' and bands didn't have to be in a certain genre, they were content to just be thrown in with every other alternative band.

[cococheez]

Why are the Eels so awesome?

[pineapplezzandstuff]

cos of E's beard

[tamelarry]

E's got some pimped out spects too...

[berserkerben]

True. hah

[TommyFilth1]

Wow, I haven't seen this video in years. Good stuff, thanks!

[Hakurox5]

ahh

this song is so insane!!!

i love it!!!!!

[SeanButt]

i could probably take that guy.

[Oli3TB76]

I love this

[1neversaynever1]

nothing more important then being legit. E truly had a troubled soul not like these emo posturing bands that are full of BS and interesed in selling records.

[HandyAl1964]

Brilliant!! Thanks for posting.

[robbynood]

[onitamark26]

[idasputem]

GENIUS

[lazthespaz4]

these guys are like the only alternetive band i ever liked. they offer a different sound to alternetive rock and i think it's fucking sweet

[spectred88]

Family pants!

[TubeMonkey72]

Gotdamn, I remember when I first saw this vid, way back in HS, and I sat there holding the remote (I was gonna flip channels shortly, but didn't). And I remember thinking "this dude is going to be great."

I think it's safe to say he has indeed been great.

[dushyantx]

I heard this song once 10 yrs ago,,, never forgot the name, couldnt find it,, finally i downloaded it.one word sums it up AWAESOME!

[deliriousjoey]

Aww what? I spend my entire life looking for something AWAESOME, and now I hear you found it 10 years ago!

Well isn't that just the cherry on my woe cake!

xD Kidding kidding.

[vicepresidentfru1tly]

There's something so much more direct and sincere about e's music. his feelings and personality comes through so clearly...

[regal777]

real great song, if only they left the f word out.

[snowgod37]

fuck you

[punkrockerRHCP80]

wat a sound. nothing much like it. E is the bomb

[Ollycowan]

No McCain.......For The Soul

[RickyZ101]

[fraze1369cmf]

[delusions88]

[BWV547]

love the sound

its so crisp and crinkly

like heavy paper

[sugakmille]

i think this might be the best comment i have read about a music video in ages.

[danchr7]

Shut up and listen gaypeople

[Yenoah75]

Great track...period

[grandann1966]

One hit wonder...??? anyways this is a great song, grandann

[williemiller1983]

you've not listened to their album then, some great tracks on it.

[monaghanpunk]

if they were to have a one hit wonder..it would probably be "i need some sleep" because it was on the shrek soundtrack..but listen to the album like that other guy said...excellent music

[sgtrock55]

excellent tout simplement

[burningtramp]

the true test of a band is if ppl are talking about them twenty,thirty years later the beatles led zep, bowie,bands that stay in your soul and your never forget them bands that are timeless bands that say something and connect with you thats a true test of band, shove record sales if we just went by most popular than crazy frog would be a musical god and i think we can all agree hes not.Peace

[1111Sean1111]

truly astounding record

[Cool96e]

Yeah, I find this song catchy :)

[0114owl1867]

come on people please explain and /or answer my previous question - (no bad intentions meant by me honestly) ps i love the eels !

[juliawww]

looooove the Eels and this song. Are they still together, anyone know? - Julia

[0114owl1867]

what would determine ( as a whole) who the best band is then, if its not album sales, tickets sold, merchandising etc etc please please will someone tell me cos i sure as hell don't know what other way can determine it thanx

[spamjavelin7]

how the fk can anyone determine or even define it man? everyone has an alternate perspective on many things cant believe u expect a valid answer from ur unbelievably vague and needless question. its odd. no-one can answer that. be proud if u like. just be happy

[0114owl1867]

ok eels have done 1 very good single then a few years ago - cheers kid (thats what i call vague)

[spamjavelin7]

lol ok matey hehe

[province65]

Awesome track, great vid.

[Phil0uu]

Y & P on eels <3

[4781d36]

I really like this song. I heard 'em play it on the radio taday and I HAD ta download it! :D Thanks for posting it.

[0114owl1867]

eels better than oasis ? lol, ask the masses count album sales - see who's tops it'll be oasis by a million miles, i like eels too but theyre no oasis get a grip

[LoFizz]

You have no idea do you? Album sales do not determine how good or bad a band is. With that logic, Britney Spears would be way better than The Velvet Underground (and she isn't)

[0114owl1867]

mmm fair enough then, how about chart sales ? no 1,s and top ten hits ? please tell me - just how do you determine who is the best band mr mastermind, please tell me your expert theory, oh and while we,re at it how many top 10 hits have eels had ? ms spears is a teeny bop solo artist (not a band) therefore teenagers buy her stuff, eels and oasis are both BANDS and yes both good, but oasis blow them away in every statistic you look at, so therefore kid i believe it is you that has no idea

[LoFizz]

That's what I'm trying to tell you! It's still all statistics. I never said that I was an 'expert' this is just my opinion. You can't judge a band by looking at how many number 1s they've had. It shows that they're more successful, but that doesn't mean it's quality stuff. Fair enough, Britney Spears is not a band, she is probably more successful than Joni Mitchell, but she's not a better singer. Oasis are a lot more successful than Eels, but that doesn't automatically make them better either.

[0114owl1867]

mmm ok then mate we can both disagree without hating each other ( i hate - hate ) this song is tops - oasis are cool too, can we agree on this ?

[LoFizz]

Actually, I hate arguing too. So yeah, I agree that they're both cool.

;)

[priestmanyeahyeahyea]

idiot.

[0114owl1867]

fool.

[Supertaco117]

son of a took

[BagpipeHustler]

i may be an idiot, but i'm no fool.

[dushyantx]

britney spears seels millions, and she can sing right?
