Kings of Leon - Trani

[lachrymal21]

Am I the only demented one that thinks of Mrs. Swan from Mad Tv when he sings "like a trani on ten"? Regardless I think its fun to sing to.

[fishtank901]

already have 4 different versions of this song on my ipod.

this is my new favourite.

[asdfjulie]

this video is why I wake up in the morning.

[georgieporgie118]

the line 'trani on ten' is AMBIGUOUS. it could either be about a tranny on ten grams of coke or whatever BUT it could also relate to a transistor radio which is turned up so loud that it produces white noise. no point stressing about it. most poetry is ambiguous.

[mancuniangirl08]

It looks as if they were not ashamed of expressing what they felt when playing, those movements say lots of things; as of today..... they are too aware of who they are, don't want to be doing ridiculous movements or faces, they are too uptight, not sure enjoying as much as they used to do, they need to relax and go back to their roots, and scream, dance, move around the stage, kick the mic, throw the guitar, spit, well just.....................FEEL ALIVE AND MAKE US FEEL IT TOO

[scoochxtino]

is this how caleb chipped the body of his guitar?

[mykkePet]

Song is about a transvestite getting his ass kicked. This is as real as the Kings get. Amazing song. I'm pissed I didn't see them back before the last two years.

[morsonator]

this video is sick

why cant they write more songs like this instead of there new crap

[megamegamog]

this is my favourite kings of leon song and video, so much passion and emotion :) it makes me miss when caleb used to go crazy

[zdrummaboy]

@megamegamog i watched a video and jared said he used to go crazy so people would pay attention to him and not his bass so they couldnt tell he sucked hahah

[Kris10KOL]

To let you know adamradical.

Trani in this song is a transvestite

on ten is cocaine

Trani on ten- transvestite high on cocaine

White noise sound is referring to the cocaine

Which explains why he is talking about hookers in the beginning

[Vogelfrei777]

@Kris10KOL

So why it's Trani instead of Tranny?

I heard trani is slang for transistor radio.

So Trani on a ten is a very loud radio (the volume knob on 10).

[Dentsational]

This is truly one of the all-time greatest songs.

[bmotx]

The KINGS of LEON, ladies and gentlemen....

[egno777]

How epic is that ending? Wow.

[Equinoxx7]

The end is amazing

[Limitless144]

omgggggggggg fucking amazing!

[MrGilly93]

Legands



[animeilove08]

What guitar is it that caleb's playing?

[TheOrangexxx]

@animeilove08 is a Gibson Es-325 of 1972

magnific....

[rhashr]

@animeilove08 it's a 70's Gibson ES325. Hard to find.

[TheStrychnineTwitch]

I got the pleasure of seeing them back in July. They closed with this song before the encore! It was greatest 6 minutes of my life!

[gahagenful]

what a paaaaain!!

[ABCDEFGHIJ426]

Waw ...

[WaronaJolomba]

oh my fukin god they look so fukin rabid at the end but what a fukin show!!!!!!!!!

[spicegirlsjohn]

kick fucking ass, don't get me wrong I fucking think there new music is magic but this type of ATITIUDE you will never see it again from kol. just amazin' man. coke'd off there tits not giving a shit.

[Dillon290593]

jesus fucking christ. just creamed

[SeanCambo]

This is their best song, fuck sex on fire garbage

[ThatGadley]

Jesus, i thought Trani at Bonnaroo 2004 was unbeatable....now I'm confused???? Overwhelmingly good.

[missleli23]

the wind makes it all the more euphoric...if thats possible. TRANI. one of my fave songs....i suffer from an obsession because of this band

:)

[ritziewho]

eles podiam voltar já em 2010 , era perfeito !

[lhodg2]

loves how in statistics and data, england is so dark on the map compared to everywhere else

[razielmcr]

no me aburro de esta cancion!!!!! my fav viva los kol

[s3ll3na3]

this song is the best from youth and young manhood for me and bob dylan ..lol... u should try the t in the park version from 2004... believe it or not they are a little better... hahah if that's possible

[qba95]

siiiiiick! :D

[MitchelMcCormick]

5:40 hahahah Caleb knocking over the mic stand is great.

What makes it better is that he throws it off the stage.

[zudummzum]

so good 4:15

[dvo2121]

its a transistor radio

[isabeeel]

é incrivel como ninguém naltura os conhecia e agora toda a gente fala na 'sex on fire'. amo.os desde 2002. espero q voltem a portugal o mais rapido possivel para receberem o respeito e mérito que merecem deste país.

[lindseylovesKOL]

epic performance.

[zudummzum]

OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bmxdude12]

awsome

[bananaknox55]

best live song i've ever seen

[Missof1989]

I still don't understand the lyrics

"...tranny on a ten." ? Huh?

Woah! I'm just watching the ending now. Wow! I've never seen them so woah! They're just ! They're going nuts!

That was kinda intense... and fun.

[hubb2109]

Trani is short for transistor radio... which is an old small radio. If the volume was cranked to 10 it would make white noise....

Clever play on words. Great song.

[aktalv777]

totally agree with you...I was about to write the same thing.. ;-)

[shyshy119]

ten is cocaine, so i guess its a tranny on cocaine lol

[retrocareermelted]

3:53 THE SOUTH WILL RISE!!

[ourkid94]

white noise is the sound picked up by radios or tvs when they are not focused on one channel, and is also "the reduction of hearing due to ejaculation into the aural cavity".

Trani means "transistor", and also "transexual" :D.

One of the best songs ever

[jamie71907]

Thanks doctor!

[adamradical]

trani is tennesse slang for transistor radio i heard, lol so when shes on the ground throwin white noise sound, shes making noise like a transistor radio really loud (trani on ten)

[corriganmusic]

you got it

[utubin67]

and how does this exactly lead to someone spitting out their teeth? Please?

[DeepMetallicaDan]

The song's about a Tranny (Trani) who's beaten to death by the cops which probably leads to screaming xD ("Laying on the ground blowing white noise sound like a trani on ten".)

Well, you should probably get it from the rest of the comments here.

Cheers, mate (:

Sad story, awesome song :)

[utubin67]

uh hmm... okay makes sense.. very sad indeed.. people being mean to people eh? what will become.. what will become of us all?

[DeepMetallicaDan]

Fighting leads to more fighting, vicious cicle, dude.

As Ziggy Marley says "Love is my Religion" (:

(Yea, I love reaggae).

Cheers

[utubin67]

Cheers

[lassixjune]

So that's what we listen at the end..kinda, uh?

[voluptamors]

oh cool! i always wondered wtf that line was about...i thought it said trani on tin and tin was some drug or something XD

[SuperiorSwagon1]

@adamradical Either that OR Transmission in a car.

[woodsgirl84]

@adamradical thanks that helps alot! me and my friends couldnt figure out what trani on ten meant. lol that makes sense now :)

[Kris10KOL]

@adamradical Dude he's referring to trani as a she because he is singing about a transvestite on drugs "on ten" is cocaine

Trani on ten- transvestite on cocaine

[rhashr]

@adamradical there's also the double meaning, a trani (transexual) on ten (ten = measure of coke)

[supersparrow26]

Caleb knocking the microphone stand over. So funny. Amazing band.

[utubin67]

that was a musician orgasm right there.. loved it.. felt it.. very cool!

[rosebudsalve13]

chilllls! They are amazing..I really wish they played this on their current tour!

[NOTORIOUSMOI07]

@rosebudsalve13 they sure did... i seen it twice! you lucked out

[Midnightpitbull2]

@rosebudsalve13 even if they did play it now, they wouldnt play it with the same intensity or energy as they did, watch the video of them playing it in 2007 at T in the park, it pales in comparison to back then

[TathyHotel]

oh god! the final is awesome! Caleb goes crazy. =O

[ichizilla]

yea i think so too they just look the same when they play. They try to act all cool now

[ohio4president]

i know ive changed a lot since i was 18 to now. its just life, you go through stages. and i love every single one of their stages

[garfunkel94]

5:30,  totally jizzed my pants mann.

[Mark96789]

Great post, this is why i love them

[CurrieBhoy1888]

[tom101086]

agreed mr bhoy

[cenas1gurl]

plz could someone tell me what this song is really about.

i love the passion they put into it i just wanna know the real meaning!

[phatpat94]

read the lyrics!!!

[ohio4president]

my guess is tranvestites/hookers getting beat by cops at some rundown joint

[michaelvalentine00]

haha that was awesome

[ruitsz]

lol "SIC-Radical" channel, thats portuguese.

Didn't know they played there.

[rickswench]

one word 4 it

WOW!!!!

[phatpat94]

i get shivers everytime i watch this....

i love how they go crazy!!!

[crashtheride]

goddammit, why didnt they play this when i saw them last nite?

this is my favourite KOL song :(

[HappyAlone86]

I love it when he throws the microphone stand on the ground at the end of this song

[NICOPERRY72]

TRANI is my city...in south of Italy..:) :) :)

Do you know what it means!!??? Thanks

[jensvandermeij]

In english it has 2 meanings: a transistor radio (that's why he sings about oscilating and white noise). The second meaning is a transsexual^^.

[NICOPERRY72]

Thanks so much!!!!

[fhilbilly89]

5:11 and 5:20 TO 6:18 are really funny

[fhilbilly89]

[JDuncanM1369]

This, ladies and gentlemen. It doesn't get any better than this.

Kings of Leon's finest hour.

[annettecls]

I've watched several versions of this song not because I like it so much but because of KOL's raw, emotional delivery! ...The garbled vocals, Calebs scratchy voice, the unintelligible screams at the end, Jared's violent head bobbing, and at the very end Caleb is so overcome that he lashes out at the mic stand!! What a performance! But, why do they react this way? I can't understand what he's saying? What's this song about?

[megamegamog]

man..... To me this is the best version! ahhhh!!!!

[phatpat94]

bonaroo is pretty good

[telecasterthommy]

I can't decided whether this version or the one from T in the Park '07 is better... i fucking love this song

[lfc185times]

bonaroo 2004. there all great versions, no words or actions can do justice for what feeling they give you but theres something special about bonaroo 2004

[Vogelfrei777]

Yupp, exactly. Bonaroo 2004 is just ... wow.

[Sonofagoat24]

I loved every second of that!!!!

[stillwhising91]

its scary how good they are live,its just mind blowing.

[pbell259]

their best song. don't care what anyone says.
