[bleedingpopcorn6]

Why R.I.P?

[dogyahh]

@bleedingpopcorn6 because they broke up

[aguycalledjk]

@bleedingpopcorn6 cause they split up?

[unisexGlasses]

I like the Eins,Zwei,Drei, Vier. :D

[WKaliberr]

[TheThedeadlego]

[aviospeed123]

These guys look like they're on lines and lines of cokaine.

[sohnsk]

thumbs up if you came here cause of daniel radcliffee's playlist.

[bigblue1290]

exactly how old is this band?? because they mention west germany...

[silverbiscuit]

@bigblue1290 They also mention that they're singing about October 1983. Doesn't mean that it actually was 1983 when they wrote the song, which is only about 6 years old.

[MenschOhneBeziehung]

scott pilgrim's bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eins zwei drei vier! xD

[GiovannaOfSuburbia]

a basket case parody ?!

[ROBOTNIK28]

@GiovannaOfSuburbia no, what the fuck are you talking about?

[GiovannaOfSuburbia]

@ROBOTNIK28  green day :-)

[IronyTheOh]

@GiovannaOfSuburbia sorry to wade in here, but in what possible way is this song/video even remotely similar to basket case or any other of the garbage that green day have produced?

[Musicizdbest]

Strasbourg is part of France right now but it has flipped back and forth between germany and france so many times that quite a few people who live in the region [alsace] have changed nationality about eight times in their lifetime without having moved once.

--can you tell that I'm currently living in the stras?

[badboytish]

fucking love these boys. But not in a gay way

[ThomasTuchel]

Epic Fifa Track!

[klombet]

Took me 6 years to figure out he sings "...dann sind wir Helden...".

[Mirelurkmurk]

Such an underated band shame there not together still!

R.I.P The Rakes!

[killa2006]

R.I.P

[KBMandMAGIC]

Strasbourg is in france?

[CloudStrifeOfficial]

@KBMandMAGIC haha, germany. West Germany. The songs about ppl living in east germany under USSR occupation in 1983, and making a break to west germany

"I'll meet you in west germany, october 1983"

"We'll meet in strasbourg"

In fact, 1:09 is them scrambling over the Berlin wall lol



[Thiboo87]

@KBMandMAGIC

Yeahh

[imaclay777]

I hate finding awesome bands like this and finding out they broke up :(

[burt2800]

One of my favourite bands of all time, WHY did they have to break up? It's them who got me into music when I was younger. :,(

[MateoCuL]

ofc they know strasbourg is in france, I guess this song is about abunch of guys from eastern block wanting to get to france? ^^

[MrDavonstar]

haha they are britans and speak sometimes german in this song^^

and strasbourg is in france they only want to mix some europe countrys..i think that vodka is from russia !?

[Madmarioni]

excelent 

[1JoOkKeE]

Who cares they speak french or whatever in Strasbourg? This is just an awesome song.

[nothingsospecial]

This is the funniest music video ever made : D.

[Donauschwabe]

Straßburg is in France but many people speak German

[Alphamaan]

strasbourg is french, 99.99% of the population speak french not german. and a lot of them prefer to be french than german.

[Donauschwabe]

@Alphamaan Sorry but this is not true

[Alphamaan]

@Donauschwabe

Bist du aus deutschland? Ich aus Strasburg

There is German history in the strasburger monuments, like the imperial palast in the new historical center of the city, but the reject of the german culture and paradoxically the rise of the Alsatian regional culture is explained by the cruelty made my the german during the 2 ww. And a well known alsatian general (Jean-Baptiste Kléber) represents scission with the german origins, he besieged Mainz during the french revolution war

[Alphamaan]

@Donauschwabe

The french republic symbolic is deeper in peoples minds than the german culture. Hitler tried to change it by imposing german language (schriftdeutsch).

[Donauschwabe]

@Alphamaan Yes thats true with the symbolic but before the second world war all the alsacien People speak German and the most of them no french

[Alphamaan]

Donauschwab

actually the alsatians like the swiss german came from the same folk: the alamanni.Which is like the franks (future french mixed with roman people), one of the german folks who lived on both side of the Rhine.Europe was invaded by the german folks and you'll find then in france,england, italy (longbardia -> langobardo -> The longbards a german folk). So the german origins are the same in every roman territory, why variable proportions. before ww2 alsatians aspired to be french

[alex20wild]

epic song, epic vid

[MikalBlues]

Good!!

[purdy1985]

i believe strasbourg was once french, then german , now french again

[cacaface302]

these guys look stoned

[gobucks2006]

its in France, but its population is mostly ethnic Germans. clear that up

[aroundazief]

Strasbourg ? Like the french city ?

[Rjimppy]

@aroundazief French? It's a german city

[aroundazief]

@Rjimppy Hey , wtf ? Strasbourg is a french city !!! I am french I know that !

[LocoGroove]

@Rjimppy LOL I've been to Strasbourg, it's in France, near Germany. There's a lot of Germanish buildings and street names there but it's in France!!!

[xipaul]

@LocoGroove the street names are in alsacien not german

[vivalamass]

@Rjimppy

LOOOL you'd better shut your mouth

[keirenann]

@Rjimppy lol

[AlxKable]

[VeganRake]

A massive shame they split up - luckily I managed to see them 3 times and they were amazing....if you get a chance, listen to 'We Are All Animals' too and have a think about the lyrics....cheers!

[DreamStuffed]

they broke up? ;_;

[JohnnyTrotz]

@DreamStuffed . yes . October 2009 . reason was exhaustion ...

[jameslfcuk]

Quality

[anth00000]

dude with the red guitar looks a bit like ryan jarman from the cribs

[thejokermakeup]

I use to hear this on Fifa, come to think about it, Fifa made me appreciate indie music, without even knowing it.

[joey5552424]

hahahaha me too!

[ElFigelo]

@thejokermakeup

Pro Evolution Soccer too, football is Indie :)



[onomalosa]

@thejokermakeup

Have you ever played Football Manager 2006 ?

There is the Rakes' best song "Retreat", and that's how I got to know the Rakes and real British Indie Music :D

[lavc20]

@thejokermakeup that's is truth

[rubenvalentin21]

@thejokermakeup me too

[Sublimenate94]

@thejokermakeup SO TRUE

[omgpuppies0707]

@thejokermakeup i used to hear this on the radio, because where i come from people like good music and appreciate it being on the radio

[hannahmwalsh]

R.I.P indeed. I'm hoping some day they come back.. please..

[dogyahh]

is it a joke? why did they break up?

[hannahmwalsh]

They said they weren't enjoying being in a band anymore bascially... and they always agreed to stop when they weren't. So they did. Boo.

[Nilles]

lol when they lift him at his pants

[Lucky13dollars]

the rakes broke up? f****, they were important, listen the pigeon detectives, the fratelis but ist not the same thing

[MorningGlory1997]

By far my favourite Rakes tune.Sheer quality.

[mani004]

they broke up =O

[carlos3salcido]

yeah rock indie

[DownWithBadMusic]

that's an exaggerated joke by the way.

[Valkoisen]

geez so fukin indie XD

[DownWithBadMusic]

haha, too bad there other songs are not as fuckin indie as this one.

[rawwrilyx]

they broke up D':

he had really awesome dancingg when we saw him :L it was so dadish but it was funny ;D x

[sillysp8]

Im so depressed the rakes breaking up and the strokes coming about there fourth album, are signs of the end of Post Punk Revival music. Im afraid the majority of my favorite modern bands will be gone with in five years

[Schwiiizer]

Still got Maxïmo Park and The Futureheads, don't you? And probably some more.

[thumby12]

YES.

[moviewatcher304]

I'm hoping interpol can save it

[Janie2Jones]

dann sind wir helden :D

[Localulu27]

Amazing

[kemicon]

Damn these guys were pretty good. Sorry I missed them, they will now be added to my modern rock that does not suck playlist.

[gibbleralsocorri]

Füttere die Fische nicht!

[underpuka]

1:28 bowie :)

[jakeypeee]

NOOO asif they have split up, saw them twice, going to miss alan's dances! RIP the rakes

[NicolaLovesMusic]

dann sind wir helden....:)

[pitchdabitch]

oh sorry, didnt see the date this was posted :)

[pitchdabitch]

same chord pregression as I Gotta Feeling. but its a cool song :)

[dogyahh]

nobody can become ian curtis. but i love both of ian & alan.

[iamalaydee]

ein! zwei! drei! vier!

[lollylopz0r]

i'm a massive massive joy division fan but the two bands sound nothing alike! other than alan's (vocals) moves in this video and some live performances, he doesn't act, sound or behave anything like curtis!

... great tune though :)

[anormalnick]

@lollylopz0r I think this band is more similar to Joey division than the rasmus...lol

dont you agree? C´MON..

THEY are not the same but are very similar..

Sorry for my english..

[uksclavain]

ok jd on 78 ...hey we live now dick

[tchoum478]

Strasbourg is in France. But near Germany.

[MustHaveRocknRoll]

i love this band and i love joy division you can see some influence but that is good

[iconofsin09]

yh i think the frontman (cant remeber his name) moves alot like ian curtis i saw them at reading and thought he even looks abit like him! i love both bands!

[nunnsofunky]

They were fantastic at Reading and Alan, bless him, was more than happy to have his pic taken with my daughter and cousin. A nice guy. Totally agree with the Ian Curtis comparison, though :-)

Took lots of pics which you can see on the Rakes' Facebook site.

[iconofsin09]

yh they were amazing!! ian brown was good to!!

[gerasquo]

TRATA DE BAILAR COMO IAN CURTIS

[OREOize]

I like the crazy looking of the guy :D

[IvanaK86bg]

:)))

[hplat91]

great song; i love it!

this is from a fifa football game, isn't it?!

rakes for ever: auslandmission, 22 grand job, 1989... but why are some words in the song in german "dann sind wir helden"?!

[fork12]

they recorded it in germany, that might be why

[bariebalzak]

yeah fifa 2006,, i believe( but im not sure) that, dann sind wir helden got something to do with heroes/ helden from david bowie (which is a great song btw)

[flyinghalfbananas]

because strasbourg is in germany...

[rhcpanna]

i cant find drum tabs anywhere for this, does anyone know if there are any? Just for sure :)

[samscib1]

do you possibly need a tab for this !!!! as easy as hell

[dohertyetbarat]

Yeaaaaaaaaaah ! Cette Chanson en concert est Juste GE-NI-AL <3

[azasbe]

[Cassiopeia22]

Füttere die Pfische nicht?

[transonicbuoy1]

Joy Division's legacy manifests in yet another band. Quite good.

[charizamitzicullen]

[Phlurpit]

[desertfox45row]

[Mikegr1908]

etsi re rakes.8a eimaste ekei.8a ginei ths trelhs.otan mazeuomaste emeis ginetai ths trelhs

[perky596]

[BuFufilms]

"Füttere die Fische nicht??" Why does the sheet on the wall say don't feed the fish?

[dermieper]

lol, stimmt

[burt2800]

the most probable reason is "why not?"

[Jaaan90]

EINS ZWEI DREI VIER!

<3 rakes

[sml200867]

My favourite Rakes song. But the new album is brilliant!

[zarella]

nahh this is my favourite rakes song aswell but did u not think that the new ones was lacking "strasbourg" type hits?

[sml200867]

Yeah, I suppose, but it's still a big improvement on the 2nd album I think.

[RockstarEnergy37]

The singer looks like Robbie Keane a little.

[dekyl935]

FIFA has the best soundrack every year.

FIFA RULES!

[MoneyMike42000]

i love this song. 1st heard it on FiFa 2006.hahaha!

[KyleGooner4]

Same. Such a top soundtrack, plus it introduced me to the best band ever.. BLOC PARTY.

[BeerCrazedMonkey]
