Frank Turner - Reasons Not To Be An Idiot

[RenneDanjoule]

Sucks being the honest/true to yourself as theres always someone willing to sell their soul/heart to make a buck. I like the message both lyrical and visual :)

[mannicool123]

JAMIE! WE MISS U!

[aishahahh]

These lyrics are like the soundtrack to my life, lyrical genius!

[Oatibixi]

The things I would do to Frank, in that pink wig. Hm.

[atomicbleep]

Just where did Amy get her invisible llama from? I want one of those things...

[Glittergirlz4eva1]

@atomicbleep it's armour :)

[atomicbleep]

@Glittergirlz4eva1: nope, it's a running gag amongst Turnerists :)

[TheBaileythatstays]

This is potentially the most honest song I have ever heard.

[SaveTheUglyBugs]

got this free on itunes a while back

[TheFreshfrie]

1:31 "I'm not as awesome as this song may sound" - yes you are...

[slvrstnthb]

Think your confusing shouting for passion bro lol.

[811LuvMichaelJackson]

LOL Jigsaw at 3:11 x)

[trixapete]

this is one of the few songs he actually doesnt shout.

he's very shouty.

[811LuvMichaelJackson]

@trixapete lmao did you write this comment on like all his videos xD

[TeaAnddCake]

i thought it was something to do with the dalai llama because and like shes beccome buddhist and everything because karma is buddhist isnt it? but then idk why hed call him 'invisible' because hes real? idk

[GRBTVOfficial]

i can think of soo many rip offs this has xx

[TeaAnddCake]

@GRBTVOfficial like what?

[AlbinoGirlScout]

@GRBTVOfficial please share

[GR1MDAGG3R]

Wow!! I was singing this today while walking home playing air guitar (real chords tho)!

I think after I started playing and singing Frank Turners songs my singing had improved tremendously!!

[GR1MDAGG3R]

Spoons!! Obviously someones been watching salad fingers ;)

[labaret93]

SPOONS

[aKeckers1]

Is one of the lyrics "she's so wrapped up in her invisible llama"?

Anyway, cracking song from a brilliant artist.

[Table29Experience]

@aKeckers1 Armor

[FlipGarador]

@aKeckers1 It's actually "armour", unless that was sarcasm in which case you already know ;D

But "llama" is so much more amusing.

[vagabondesque]

@aKeckers1 It sounded so much like "llama"! But, armor makes much more sense. XD.

[jamiejeb]

JAMIE LENMAN IS SPELLED JAMIE LENMAN NOT JAMIE LENMEN MAN NOT MEN

[TheXpozaaaH]

Greatest man to ever step foot on this Earth. <3

[baseysmint]

Is that the lead singer from Reuben?

[Mezza87x]

@baseysmint Well it's directed by Jamie so I think it is :)

[cfcolly]

Nah mate, I prefer Justin bieber, Trolololol

[PunkRock131]

This video never fails to make me smile :)

[GeorgiaHarry15]

When he sings 'I'm not as awesome as this song makes out' I always just think hell yes you are

[HannahIsUnoriginal]

What's wrong with listening to The Smiths? :(

[meddeyc]

@HannahIsUnoriginal Nothing, apparently everyone does it! The point of the song isn't slagging someone off, it's to encourage them to fucking do something!

[AFIandParamore97]

Did he say 'She's too wrapped up in her invisible llama?' o.o

[LiquidInertia]

@AFIandParamore97 Armor not llama, its the pronunciation hahaha, I heard it like that too the first time :p

[AFIandParamore97]

@LiquidInertia Ooh right thanks, haha xDD

[iamthekingofneon]

@LiquidInertia suddenly it makes sense! thank you for clearing that up..i was distressed, thinking Frank wouldnt be the sort to use rhyme for the sake of it! :-)

[Monkeyboy8255]

Frank turner is the only reason i live.

BLESS YOU Frank turner :):)

[eatathonwinner]

invisible lama wahey

[pauldenton101]

sorry I meant Peggy sang the blues...

[pauldenton101]

haha he ends up with that hat later...... (if ever i stray)

[jimidfoy]

I am too excited too see this Gentleman live!

[olieshox]

Frank Turner is a GOD!

[hiphopgurlere]

17 people like iron maiden.

[Banksy153]

@hiphopgurlere Whats wrong with Iron Maiden, mate?

[hiphopgurlere]

@Banksy153 it was the only band that sprung to mind XD okay Justin Bieber instead lol

[NicoFred97]

Hahahahaha!

[torquemadagb]

johnny they're ones wearing trilbys and showboating ;o)

[Ostarara]

In retroprospect, that handlebar mustach wasn't too good looking Frank

[libman2006]

why doesn't Frank have to be so great, if he was shit I could take the piss out of him for being too old and shit

[SuperDrobins]

invisible llamas ftw!

[wickedjoel]

What electric guitar is that?

[womwert]

invisible llama

[FulhamCrazy29]

Soz... I think Frank Turner is terrible, but that's me...

[matc132]

@FulhamCrazy29 Well you like Greendays new stuff and support Fulham so your argument is invalid.

[MooBaaOink96]

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE STRUMMING PATTERN?! D:

thank you :3

[Nayrbarr1234]

@MooBaaOink96 It doesn't really matter in terms of up and down, just do it so it sounds right. If you listen, it goes something like "Duh, Duh, duhduhduh, duhduhduh, duhduhduh". For what it's worth though, it's easiest to strum "Down, Down, Down-Up-Down, Down-Up-Down, Down-Up-Down".

I hope that that helps, otherwise I just made "down" look like a nonsense word for nothing. :)

[PeaceLoveandMovies]

he played this at leeds festival, in the torrential rain, and i was singing as loud as i could to 'it's a lovely sunny day' and it felt like the sun had come out!

[V8roverpower]

love this song!

[Darkelite4]

16 people are the director

[jammihoops]

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDS FEST '11

[MsBinary101]

Was Jamie Lenman the actual director? Or was he the dick in the video?

[keylock13]

This made me get up and go outside

[SeryogaPosi]

one of my favorite songs by frank

[eagleeyes4444]

This song makes me so happy :-D I just read the "invisible armour" comment above though and I'm really disappointed too! It seems so obvious now lol but I've always sang along as "invisible llama"

[RachTheBestest]

@eagleeyes4444 Me too, me too... *sniffs* Disappointed.

[chavkill2]

Did anyone see him at wembley with green day last year?

[TheMiddleHanded]

@chavkill2 No, no sir. Frank Turner wasn't with Green Day. It's Green Day being with Frank Turner.

[decupero]

O timbre vocal de Frank Turner já é fator suficiente de se prestar a atenção em sua música. Um pop descomplicado mas cheio de vitalidade.

[kevsmck]

This video is awful - I like the song, and I like the other video with the big model head thing.. but this is awful. Makes no sense to the song what so ever. :|

[Ftballnumba69]

@kevsmck i think i like it that way. it gives us an entertaining visual, but at the same time leaves the song open for interpretation. i kind of think most of his videos are that way

[MichaelFindlater]

@kevsmck alot of music videos are like that though

[RuudBerger]

Rockets?

[AliceItoko]

He's fucking adorable.

[ZT742]

Best. Music video. Ever.

[PARRRTYYY]

that mustache!

[DruTheSpicy]

My ex told me this song helped him get over me. So, I listened to it, laughed hysterically (I listen to the Smiths when I'm out and about thank you very much), and now I love Frank Turner. So thank you, ex, for introducing me to Frank. I can't wait until I'm fat from having a nicer person's children. =]

[Kuranes]

@DruTheSpicy

... awesome

[DavidFrat123]

@DruTheSpicy fat girls r better

[sayaeel92]

This song is my paracetamol.

[Laaauuuurrrrreeeeeen]

@sayaeel92 you described it perfectly :)

[sayaeel92]

@Laaauuuurrrrreeeeeen thank you. :)

[RD2006]

I love Jamie Lenman. Hurry up and start making music again, Jamie!

[gwynllywboii]

hes getting kinda pissed off by that guy in the hat innt he?

[haislil]

How did a comment about a guy being partially deaf get top comment?

[MrCdawwg]

Epic moustache.

[SuperLuckyL]

why am i sat at home?,,,,



[TheCBliss]

Let's start a petition to have him change the lyrics to 'invisible llama' because that is, by more than a fair degree, more epic.

[bepinator]

Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ, I love Frank Turner.

[DrunkenIdeas]

This song <3

[norfolkcanary1994]

Frank is as awesome as this song makes out!

[IMadLarkin]

This is probably my least favourite of Frank's songs... it's far too "High-School Rock" I think, brought on by the backing... too typical. It's a good message though, like most of his songs.

[crunchysavior]

@IMadLarkin cool story bro

[Kneen18]

loveee thissss! :D

[1lowlife]

Frank Turner come back to Dallas TEXAS...

I need you here...

[jackdudestephenguy]

@1lowlife Agreed

[Aerith145]

i love this song !! =)

[BeccaHeartsRainbows]

This God is the reason I am proud to be English ;)

[LAW12W]

Pretty sure it's Lama - in reference to the Dalai Lama. Seeing how the preceding lyrics talk about fake healing and karma.

[thingthing25]

@LAW12W I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it's armour cuz the next line is "she'll never grow into herself" cuz she can't be who she is cuz the armour is keeping her in.

[LAW12W]

@thingthing25 Good point. That's confusing then, cos the line that precedes it suggests it's a reference to the Dalai Lama, whereas the line that follows suggests that it is 'invisible armour'. I guess only Frank knows.

[TheBunchy123]

maaaaaze ing!

[livvi67]

Never seen the video for this before. Jamie Lenman makes me crack up

[doc1236]

Hey this was filmed in the West End Center in Aldershot! That's where my band plays sometimes!

[kurtandterry54]

I've had this CD playing in my truck for the last month and can't get enough. I love it; thank you!

[pauldenton101]

I def heard llama too

[MegaDream12345]

For weeks my sister has been singing this song around the house and i've wandered what it was but never got round to looking it up. It's been driving me crazy cos everytime i ask her she just walks off!! Then i just stumbled across this and suddenly my world better!!

[doggyrasta342]

didn't even notice thats jamie lenmen in the video. love this song!

[MrCitrusfrugt]

6 people never didn't understand the 6 reasons.

[Kchandler1012]

if this video was missing anything, it would definitely be spoons

[rampagingacorn]

Hello anti-depressant.

[blissdelamess]

this video always cheers me up so much - best solo artist in the world, with the lead singer from the best band in the world in the best venue in the world. What's not to love?

[DougusMaximus]

A few years ago a fella played in my local pub for a party. The landlady asked if I could provide a PA. I knocked something up out of my ancient Marshall PA speakers and a small mixer-amp. I thought he was pretty cool.

Search for "Frank Turner Dunsfold" and there he / it is - I found it while just now. His voice reminds me of something I heard on the radio lately - an ace song about getting off your arse and doing something.

Damn me . . I provided a PA for Frank Turner in my local pub. :-D

[MrTHEgreatAPE]

heard mike ness mention this guy in a interview about the music he listenes now i know why..........

[musicslittlesister]

knee related pain. i'm sorry but that popped up while i was listening to this and it just made me laugh so much. also why does my dad like frank turner but is at this very moment listening to classical music????? i mean ok but .......WTF????

[snowmuzzle]

Well, that's taught me not to be an idiot!

[aLaughingPenguin]

"I'm not as awesome as this song may sound."

Ahahahhaa... For some reason, I highly doubt that.

[DoctorMooCow]

It's like Lou Barlow but british and a little cheerier.

[namedULaika]

Frank Turner speaks the truth. This is what punk music is about.

[readyourdarwin]

@namedULaika ehhhhh punk maybe the wrong genre to classify this but definitely good.

[TheDuckielova]

@readyourdarwin folk rock...?

:D]

trying to put goaties on smily faces fails.

[TheDuckielova]

@readyourdarwin folk rock...?

trying to put goaties on smily faces fails.

[RebelYYZ]

the new neil young

[RebelYYZ]

The new neil young :)

[johnny81archer]

I can`t believe there`s 5 people on this hole planet,that think that this song is shit. Wankers!!!!!!! Thumb`s up if ye agree?

[lilcals80]

@johnny81archer whole not hole

[Logicalanalysis]

1:24

[JJGroves1234]

[TylerMinority]

@JJGroves1234 lucero is the other band lol i saw them yesterday in dallas Frank was amazing

[cboustead]

[LemonZeppelin]

Story of my life. This guy is awesome.

[matilda628]

My brother is driving his tour bus!

[Wingwalkermusic]

@matilda628 my brother's driving your tour bus

[mightyboosh4895]

This song relates to all my friends... :D

[cosmicretribution]

I thought he was singing "She's so wrapped up in her invisible llama" until I went and looked up the lyrics and found it was "invisible armour". Kinda disappointed actually :(

[xHyperMusicx]

@cosmicretribution So glad I wasn't the only one who thought that when I first heard it!

[DreamGamingx]

@xHyperMusicx OML ME TOO! XD

[buryyourashesuk]

@cosmicretribution LOL me too I think llama's much better XD

[thingthing25]

@cosmicretribution I heard that too and laughed my head off, you're not the only one. I was disappointed as well

[FlipGarador]

@cosmicretribution Haha - I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought that!

Do what I do, sing it as if that's what it is ;P

[Lashes35]

@cosmicretribution hahaha i thought that too :-)

[pokemoncrazy303]

@cosmicretribution i thought the same thing. damn.

[EmiOfTheCentury]

@cosmicretribution omg I thought that too but didn't think to look up the lyrics xD Thanks for correcting me :L Xx

[TVxboy92]

@cosmicretribution For every 4 people that liked this video, 1 liked your comment.... that's pretty epic.

[josiekeir]

@cosmicretribution you have just enlightened me.

[roqueanddrolle]

@cosmicretribution Go to a gig and bring a sign with that written on it. I'm sure he'd hire you as a lyricist :)

[TracyBarleyRonnie10]

@cosmicretribution ahhh i thought it was just me!!!

[heinzie5]

@cosmicretribution an invisible llama would have been better

[strider3005]

...Was that the West End Centre in Aldershot?

[mattg109]

You were awesome at reading festival!!!!!!

[PuddickEmma]

[stuartandtheavenue93]

[thepunkfish109]

This, along with "The Road" just prove that this is the least pretentious voice in rock and roll. And I fucking love it.
