[SitkaShootingStar25]

a girl told me about this song and i am now in love with her

[MattSturg]

i see the lyrics to boyscout'n behind lance at about :07

[nofx84]

[thechronokills]

20 people don't want to be remembered

[koreicupcake94]

[danaic1]

hahahah! they surely do have humour!!!! :DDD

[TheDanTheManIsTan]

ude i want to see them so badly i found them in a library and ever sense they have been my 2nd fave band for 2 years running

[reishvedaur]

Big-haired redheaded guy at end of music video played piano and guitar for Menomena at the concert I went to last night!!!

[mikelisberzinsh]

love this song!

[MahxTheAwesome]

i like how the drummer is like oh shit im out!!!

[Mer13s]

" It's hard to take risks with a pessimist...I hope that this shaking will help us awaken..." soooo meaningful.

great clip, simple but neat.. and under those circumstances..i'd write tons of letters too =D

[madaikings]

Thanks guys.

[ilikepavement]

'Wet and Rusting'... Sounds like a Robot Vagina... Love this song...

[spissxyndculrthnu]

I love this band, they are too good. I can't wait for my Friend and Foe LP to get here

[TheSkatingSasquatch]

DAYLANDO PROMO!

[nofx84]

Isn't lance bangs the guy who always vomits on jackass?

[nedbread1]

this is the best music video ever how does it only have a quarter million views

[manus211]

@nedbread1 what're you talking about?? Quarter million is a ton of views!

[Mesknot]

im glad to be just one of the few who loves this music and visuals...

[SweetImperfection]

Dude. Brilliant!

[WilmaXane]

Best marriage service online  ***mworld5.info***

[fenturner]

Favorite song EVER.

[BL00DsweatGEARS]

There is only three guys. Thats weird because i saw them on Jimmy fallon and there were 4 guys??

[AnimeToye]

@BL00DsweatGEARS They're touring with a fourth guitarist this year.

[DianaDiazSinger]

@BL00DsweatGEARS Joe Haege of Tu Fawning and 31 Knots is filling in for live shows. It really does help fill out their sound. Muse does the same thing.

[elbenhair]

anti-radioactivity

[piadox]

This video was the first thing I ever heard/watched of Menomena! Life has not been the same ever since. :)

[karendrug]

i'm honestly scared for myself because of how addicted i am to their music

[leonardjohnson69]

this is the closest ive come to touching you the way i want

[23pasos]

This song makes me cry

[MoRis1085]

this song was featured in a movie trailer, could somebody tell me what movie it was. The trailer was release somewhat recent ago.

[djazr]

@MoRis1085 I think it was ONLY

[vstxdj]

@MoRis1085

the film is called friction

[DianaDiazSinger]

@MoRis1085 @vstxdj It is indeed called Friction and it isn't out yet. it's at behavebadly . com  :) Now can someone please answer for me why it is Menomena fans are mostly dudes? Apparently, those are the only bands I ever really, really like.

[KloshFilms]

this used to be my very fav song

[ihaveblink]

Lance Bangs often works with Pavement.

[ripelivejam]

dunno why, but the video reminds me of something Pavement would do...

[AlexPiti5]

Never got goosebumps with any music as much as menomena's...

[MrBWednesday]

My idea for this music video was better. It involved a post-pubescent medical student committing his first murder. All done in black and white, with no budget

I was in the process of making the story boards, just for fun.

[kelvos]

Portland's FINEST!!

[B33fisGud]

I wish I had had the idea about splitting myself in half and sticking different parts of me out of the two poles!

Argh!

[Im2o]

I want to use this song for my vlog. DAMN YOU COPY RIGHT!

[luigi972]

So I noticed that the vans that one of the guys is wearing has a black tag instead of a red one. Where do you get those?

[MrHankeey]

what an awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aikicinema]

This video really made me smile. Not that hard really. But it did.

[starethesky]

it's a great band.

i remember that this music comes as a sample in an old winamp version

[babieducky]

this video is epic and so is the song

[sargrizz]

Yeah, these guys are amazing, great video too. If you guys are into indie rock you should check out Okkervil River, the best band in the biz imo.

[tothatextent]

I went into a record store a while back. They had a big collection of silk-screen band posters, mostly underground stuff. A few posters stood out as being really cool to me. I bought one which said 'Blues Explosion' and one that said "Menomena" - never heard of either band. I just liked the look of the posters. I came home and found them both on YouTube. I love both bands. Probably would never have heard their music otherwise.

[loadtacp]

Just incredible. Wow.

[Bjoobs1995]

NICE! vaccines don't do shit anyway. Fuck the gov.

[deathpirate88]

I asked the guy working at ChaCha who his favorite band was, and he told me these people. Awesome way to find a band in my oppinion.

[Rangelababy]

I love them! all their songs are awesome.

[lXxMasterShakexXl]

damn you infinite energy ;o

[AnangoMagic]

another accidental stumble that was well worth it, listened to this song a lot today

[Hdubs31]

oh my god, i love menomena beyond all reason. this video is prime!

[XXXXstargirl]

i didn't know this is how indie rock sounds like.. but i like it :]

[FEARfilmz]

this totally isn't scary at all

[ffyr]

my gf accidentally made these guys my favorite band of all time by checking them out on here.

[TVofftheradio]

blown away by the creativity

[jacobelder]

good shit

[fence1467]

BLOODY AMAZING

[PhantomSpark36]

[sparkles468]

[mommysantichrist]

this reeks of win

[modernslangis]

Search The Murdochs - 1968.

Awesome upcoming band!

[Drivelikefugazi]

This album feels like grizzly bears yellow house. From start to finish. The rather spastic drums, high in the mix, and high creativity all around. Two incredible albums, Fantastic, congrats

[verona123]

this is amazing!

[KWIfilms]

I love this music video. Really great.

[vic2587]

3-man trampoline on wheels? most badass thing ever.

[KWIfilms]

Totally badass

[xXdeathnoteX0x]

lol

[iTelecaster]

wow, what a unique sound !

they sound great.

[sneakyperson23]

They're a good opening band for Bloc party cant wait for tonight.

[thisgenef4]

ya they were

[saltypandadog]

menomena and bloc party in the same night?!?! damn... I would've just exploded..

[AhRobots]

Saw that same show in San Luis. Great performance. One of those rare occasions where the opening band is awesome - comparable to the main act.

[gymnastkelli]

they opened for the bloc party concert in Los Angeles last week

pretty cool band :)

[EmoBoyLover4Ever]

i went to that one!

it was awesome! =] lol

[flingo21]

Well I saw them in San Luis Obispo opening for bloc party as well. It was cool cuz it was in a like a hall and there were like 400 people. Their drummer was great and this song was amzing live. shotgunFTW

[gymnastkelli]

haha ya that drummer was pretty hilarious.

and i liked how most of their songs sounded just as good live as they did in recording.

the band has a good sound :)

[greasemonkey48]

Hey 21st century Dada Hippie Mothers of Invention -- I recognize you guys! Cool stuff.

[unohuir]

i have a flannel jacket exactly like that one, grey hood and all

[supermauricio123]

Sick video you guys sound like vampire weekend except more chill...

[WombatPA]

Do you like pancakes?

YEAH WE LIKE PANCAKES!

[jalapenyoo]

haha amazing video ..

and song for that matter. : )

[bloodredskiesx]

and btw this might be one of the best songs i heard in awhile love it!

[Mineav]

Agreed. The more I listened to it the more I realized its brilliance. Quite original, so many little nuances--best song I've heard I've heard in a long time.

[bloodredskiesx]

YOUR GONNA EAT THESE WAFFLES!

[daswildschwein]

do you like waffles?

YES WE LIKE WAFFLES

[noexisto]

jaja.. sos conchs...

Q buena canción y q buen video..

esta versión está paja

[sample45]

you totally see the cord dragging the trampolines when they jump off. :)

super cool video with some great jokes in it.

the best bands don't take themselves too literally.

[flingo21]

and the best youtubers don't need to point that stuff out...

I agree its a great song tho lol

[dscan]

These guys are very talented.

[heidyho11]

drums are sick on this track.. one of my fav's

[ChocolateMilkIsTight]

DAMN. THATS A FAUCKING JAM

[prozacpeople]

Amazing song

[Mineav]

Gotta love that piano riff. Took me a while to get it down, but I suck on keyboards (n00b)...

[guitarpick678]

this is such a lovely video and great song!

[jamescfc1]

Probably the most awesome music video ever. Brilliant.

[DollieRae24]

I listened to this song for the first time 2 hours ago, and I wasn't able to stop listening to it!!! Now officially one of my favorite songs. <3

[3ion1cs]

I think I listened to it non-stop for a day or so.

Listen to their other stuff too. It's all excellent.

[Parietti15]

i want to be remembered...send my casket to the top of big ben

this stuff is so great

[kutieboo]

i really love this song!!!! gossssh!!

[UrInterweb]

i've always thought this song was about a bomb.

[Rael0505]

I used to think my dad was crazy for being so obsessed with these guys, but after listening to certain songs I've fallen in love too. Very original, I wish we'd see more of this in music.

[cakehoe111]

artists.

[goosedeetz]

3:00- Genious- c'est tre bon

[DDUDE231]

same this just makes you like it lol

ITS MAGICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[misspandora89]

Love love love <3

[godspeedfx]

i've been listening to menomena since 2003.. "Friend and Foe" has a couple good songs on it, but i like their first album better. it's called "i am the fun blame monster".

[babiesdie]

never herd this band before, they must be totally Indie

[acacacac4]

dude that was so good

[ihateurmom]

maybe i'm just up too late,

but this song seems to have a pretty profound meaning.

[lBAKESl]

so since you seem to understand it's meaning. can you share it. i guess i see a meaning as well(his urgency to do something meaningfull before he dies?) but it's hard to say if it's a wishfull meaning or the actual meaning. and im not sure why people would give my earlier comment a thumbs down since my comment was a question. there are no wrong questions right?

[Jacob123456]

well clearly this song has a meaning

[xXNextExitXx]

This is my favorite Menomena song, and my favorite song of all time. Trying to figure out the bass line, especially the part with the bass and piano, absolutely beautiful

[MattIAm1987]

Is there a new album from these guys?

[down4thecount1982]

I think it's about a year old now, but it's called Friend and Foe and worth checking out.

[MattIAm1987]

Yeah, I know about that one. It's where I discovered these guys. I knew this song was from there, too.

I was more hoping that they'd release a new album by now ...

[TT12LAW08]

gah i love menomena

[Yvonna81]

They were one of the best part of Festival OFF. PhenoMENal MENoMENa!

[PizzaTrophy]

Definitely my favorite part about Menomena is that they're from Portland. Music is fuckin' rad here and this band is one of many that makes it such. Seriously.

[juli0904]

Portland definitely has a great music scene.

[rayakroc]

What about Austin?

[GubbaToto]

THIS BAND IS GOD.

[Jacob123456]

I LOVE YOU MENOMENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DDUDE231]

you know what you should see them play in paris on the video just write lablogotheque menomena wet and rustling and listen to it and watch the video its awesome and later little kids start dancing lol

[midstOFmist]

Ohhh Menomena. Such brilliance. I love this band.

It is the epitome of artistic creativity and experimental bliss. I could cry over it.

[bloatedlemonz]

This made me laugh.

[damienrobert]

can someone tell me what that foot pedal organ thing is at 0:13?

[tiggybean]

i'm trying to find out for myself. i think it's a moog taurus. that thing totally grabbed my attention, too.

[ohfalcodrummer]

AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZINNNNNG

[NicolaiTesla]

the vid has a Michel Gondry vibe. by this i mean it's good.

[kelvos]

Love these guys so very much!

[jhoncervantas]

a really good song by them. interesting video. but i thought the song might have been sex themed. doesn't mean it can't represent a bigger picture.

[aerdil]

Menomena is basically the greatest band ever.

[alexandrahaley]

is that david bazan that comes in singing later in the song? i can't find it anywhere but it sounds just like him.

[djlosp]

yeahhh..i think that song is awesome!!!!

[shadowelite141]

k, thanks.

i appreciate it!

[shadowelite141]

can anybody name some bands they like that are as good as menomena?

[mrsdarcydepp]

you might like: sigur ros, coldplay, muse, red hot chilli peppers, gorillaz, the beatles, the arcade fire, beck, the flaming lips, the decemberists, explosions in the sky, radiohead, mutemath, the boy least likely to...i could go on...

[1silentkidd]

wow i luv how sigur ros is ur first^_^ yeah pretty much everybody should listen to all of those bands

[oeddawg]

subtract coldplay and add the thermals.

ehhh i could live without muse, and live with more postal service.

[EverythingEvil33]

try cloud cult

[shadowelite141]

haha i already love them!! <3

[shino1232]

u should try The American Analog Set

[Callithump102205]

try the hard lessons. they are a band from my high school and they opened for motion city soundtrack at one of the warped tours

[queenban]

Try Midlake, Mr Hudson and the Library, Andrew Bird, Beirut (espescially a song called 'elephant gun') Deerhunter and The National. Although I firmly believe, Band Of Horses and the Decemberists to be pretty much ahead of everyone else making music at this moment in time.

[brhf9]

Great Vid!

[chavayya]

i love menomena!

[ybtpr]

Menomena has exeptionally good music videos

[DownOnMyLuck]

I agree ybtpr. It's nice to see an indie band that doesn't rely on shots of the band with explosions of psychedelic colors in the background.

They are just brilliant.

[Pizzattack]

such a fucking good song... i love menomena.

how will they top friend and foe?

[harristweedmusic]

ha ha ha this is so great! hell yes. i love menomena.

[1silentkidd]

this video is incredible and so is the song yea thats the only word that describes it for me ^_^ INCREDIBLE

[jnipert]

I need one of those moogs... very much so.

Solid video Menomena. Definitively one of my favorite bands, and one I'll work on promoting down here in Cali.

[lackofsolidity]

awesome video for an awesome song!

[LambrettaofAlbion]

Wow..I checked this band out on a whim... and they rock!

This is a classic!!

[GriffinSageProdct]

This video is pure genius.

[christmaspants]

it doesnt need to be more "professional" because that would just be wasting more money on unnessesary things, they have what they need, the music, the talent, the creativity, and the vision that made this song and this video so great and so much worth watching then a video "professionals" made waisting millions of dollars for nothing

[Josephdorf03]

I love Menomena! They need more publicity.  And more professional music videos. No offense, though, it's still neat.

[OneSchruteBuck]

This video fucking rules

[BlahBlahYo]

menomena rocks

[tron12345]

do these guys have a bad video, they're all so good.

dude was wearing Grado RS1 headphones too, respect!

[AdventChildren333]

everybody who like this song, search "sjur twinip 2 then you'll see a boy from Norway skiing with this song with:D

[braincras]

coool!

[Andrewishis]

I love them

[Morias]

Beyond brilliant video. Grandly done chaps.

[semiretarded]

I love that it was shot on such a grey day.. It makes it so much better somehow.
