The Strokes - You Only Live Once Video

[DavidFrat123]

OoOo some people think they're always right!

[AsiaMSchuler]

No other man can look so sexy while wearing white leather.

[8rosanna]

i like julian's dance at 00:58

[RichAllin]

after the first 5 seconds, did anyone else just want to shout 'I want to break free'!........no? wow, tough crowd.

[betheeboodle]

0:20 Julian's a bit hot there isnt he :P



[TheDeathonlegs]

I feel so sad because a year and a half has passed and i'm still listening to The Strokes, and it just feels like that I haven't achieved anything myself musically ; oh wait, I HAVEN'T. Time to start ^_^

[sato1212]

they should probably have learnt how to swim

[sicknesso]

Cute Julian at 0:09. Bloody love him, I do.

[sicknesso]

I like how within 30 seconds of the water coming in all of their white clothes get turned brown.

[DirtyMirror2011]

The best music vid ever in my view

[Tj22REMIXES]

this video to this song? mind blowing , the strokes are ofcourse one of the best band , gotta luvem' right?

[DavidFrat123]

swimming in Coca-Cola

[MissPyroclasticFlow]

@youoverdiditdoll I love your username, I just thought I'd let you know. ;)

[funkysteveve]

how the hell do they film this without destroying guitars?

[JamesHasGames]

Why Dont They Just Use The Back Door?

[marniearchibald]

it hurts even more to see them drowning...

[marniearchibald]

i love them so much, but it hurts to see nick's riviera get ruined...

[YazzyPazzyJazzy]

the drummer looks like he's being attacked by a shark at 2:33 :O

[TugbyIsTop]

TOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD

[alhooper505]

Best Strokes Video Ever

[strikarz]

I wish this was in HD...

[SooooooMudkipz]

@MrSuperShelly I think it's tobacco tar as people are always saying don't smoke but Julian is saying that you only live once.

[michaelb3197]

@SooooooMudkipz But it's barley relaven to the songs message which is that Julian screwed up and the girl he loves thinks hes an ass but he knows he'll see her again hen "I can see the sun shine, ill be waiting for you baby".

[SimpleHobson]

Love how the drummer keeps going when the water's above his kit :D Whatta Tank :D

[mutantsandproud]

poor fab...

[MrSuperShelley]

It looks like they are pooring coke in....

[youoverdiditdoll]

i miss albert and fab's fros :(

[ShOrDITcHVAmPIrE]

*sigh* Oh Julian... <3

[Irishrandomness]

Jules is one sexy dancer....

[pumaking6]

1:07

[DaizzyPokesYuh]

This is the first two seconds of  under cover of darkness o=

[MarshyMc9]

Man he has one sexy voice...

[Meereeo]

I'm just being real when I say; his voice is fucking amazing.

[yrebud76]

wouldnt they get electrocuted?

[lllmrsdarcy4everlll]

that's a lot of coca cola

[lllmrsdarcy4everlll]

BEST ROCK BAND. EVER.

[Theseilacomch]

os cara se afogando na coca-cola

[guiesseppe]

those poor guitars!!!

[1crazygirl0802]

@crabbyapplepie i think you are right, which would explain the mouth movements he does right after he says it... :L

[Nintendosauras]

good song not a great album though...

[martyaaronedwards]

DIS SONG IS F. UCKI. NG CHAMPION MATE, FU. CKI. NG CHAMPIONNNNNNNN!!!!

[willib2]

Even while drowning Fab keeps drumming like a champ.

[DaSwaggerdon]

did they died?



[dragonb803]

this video is too much for me omg when they drown and their instruments dronw especially those guitars omg I want to die

[eimile89]

aww Julian Casablancas, it hurts how much im obsessed

[peetahp3]

Bring the afros back!

[pineapplejuice1992]

4,286,661- why they only showing my views?!

[crabbyapplepie]

i swear he says 'blow' instead of 'plan' in this... looks like it too

[TezzaIsTheBest]

what an underrated drummer

[nouvel6644]

fabrizio is drowning!

[GinjaNinjaKaratedo]

you know, the song is you only live once but by the end they are under cover of darkness....

[peetahp3]

Fab and Albert looked soooo much better with afros.

[kemcyPeace]

it's fuuny how he moves his legs haha ;P

[BritishRadarMusic]

Hey all. Take a look at my band: "Band. no name as of yet". It's the first result on google, and facebook 'pages'. Listen to the rough demos and like for later release of our upcoming EP out late May/June! Strokes have been one of out major influences. This is my favorite song of theirs. Cheers guys :)

[dazziola]

Vevo blocked me from watching the video on their page...yet I can watch almost every other video by The Strokes on it?...how i love people like danield19!

[pineapplejuice1992]

julian has that 'get everything wet' affect on me too..

[ChristyOB3]

I thought electricity and liquids didn't mix? ;)

[RoryAstenBell]

Check out my cover on piano of this please. You will not be disappointed

[tessa2707]

I love it at 2:33 when Julian is just casually grooving his way into the shot! Brilliant!

[AnnieInVideoland]

That is not sewedge, its ment to be ciggarette tar, and the enclosed room is their lungs, they say they are always getting told smoking will kill them, their reply "you only live once'

[maxijazz13]

The dislike bar is like Lady Gaga's dick - it's small and shouldn't be there..

[cashmerehoodz]

good cunts

[emson10]

ohhhh I'll be waiting for YOU Julian baby!!

[TheRetroBlastoise]

The Strokes are awesome, even if I don't quite get the sewage room concept :S

[mattdjones06]

248 people need a fucking hearing test!

[alexherrington]

the very beginning of this sounds very similar to the beginning of "In too Deep" by Sum 41

[LikelyLadsBand]

Great song. We're an indie band from Yorkshire UK, please help us get heard and improve by listening to our tunes and telling us what you think. Thanks

[megamooish]

248 people have no taste in music....

or julian <3

;)

[shabadingdongrose]

omg i remember i put this on youtube in music class in year 8! haha and everyone was like huh? great times...

[highheeledhorse]

not many men can still look good whilst being covered in shit...but julian seems to do it XD

[patsyohulaghan]

This video is the perfect metaphor for what is happening to GOOD music...its getting covered by all the shit out there. :)

[09foofan4]

this uploader is awesome, because vevo have blocked this song in the UK fuck knows why but there you go

[sammoman123456789]

love the first 'dont dont dont get up' hahaha

[muzofloaty]

oh there all freakin hot !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[afairytaledreamer]

I want Julian sooooo bad... O.o

[musicalsam123]

It looks like Nick forgot to wear white to the shooting of this video so they put him at the back to start with. Once they all start getting messy they can bring him to the front again

[Schoolin113]

The only question is...how did they get inside?

[Karinekrenn]

How cute is Julian in this video ? Especially at 0:15. Oh my goodness !

[OranHally]

NIP SLIP!!!

2:22

[TutuPong]

best strokes song by far

[lioness247]

How is that dude playing his drums???!

[birdywozere24]

URGHH DIRTY TRAINERS :S the bands legendary!!!!!!!!

[patsyohulaghan]

2:34 fab could be drowning and nobody would notice..lol

[hazzzaaa]

anyone who hasn't heard it, check out the slow version of this song

ps. angles is incredible boys

[allanmac69]

I bet the shit being pumped in was to symbolise all the crap music that record companies throw at us nowadays that drowns out all the quality stuff

[jackw044]

just watch my stupid cover

[MaCMaN2794]

Best music video ever <3

[1324hh]

is that......A SEWAGE TANK

[RoryAstenBell]

add this on the end of the browser for the best ever cover /watch?v=_dBerPh52Bw

[jackw044]

WATCH MY COVER OF THIS AND OTHER STROKES SONGS

[FoosIncubusKOL]

How could you possibly dislike this?!

[rvdhbk]

i heart the strokes :)

[rvdhbk]

fucking choooooonnnn. strokes for life

[molly1564]

Lol, it looks like there are in a toilet. :L

Awesome songgg <3

[famalamfrombramalam]

Odd how the begining of under the cover of darkness starts with the end of this...

[herrogelo2]

Up to 00:11 sounds just like 'Radio Ga Ga' by Queen! :P

[Lush1965]

I wanna do to Jules what he's doing to that mic at 1:56 ;o)

[cindyaniston]

@Lush1965 lol

[guitargod4445]

i love the strokes this is a great music vid

[niklasthesinger]

that video was actually entertaining to watch

[tamie1041]

thank god he wasnt wearing his red skinnies , he'd have to dry clean those sons a bitches XD

[biffandrews]

this is the 20th time ive played this song today, still sounds as good as when i first heard it

[dolphin7777777777777]

I wish there was a Making of this video.

[zoee759]

0.00 to 0.10 sounds like the beginning of in too deep by sum 41

[JordannParry]

My friend hates me for liking the strokes. I got her into one song, Soon. she will LOVE THEM

[vicx05]

video reminds me of Limp Bizkit's Rearranged, I'm sure that's where they got the idea from. The whole room filled with milk, but in this one they could've just floated above the water.

[JordannParry]

I Love how Julian always has that I dont give a fuck face on :P

[TallyVanWyngarden]

@JordannParry lol, me too 

[johnnydeppiluv1]

this song makes me so happy and i dont know why

[iamrathercoolindeed]

I want Julian to sing at my wedding straight after I marry him.

[immadeofplastic]

@iamrathercoolindeed

ahahaa totally! just ignoring the wedding ring on his hand...

[1324hh]

@iamrathercoolindeed dont get your hopes up hes maried

[HollsM94]

Love the song but especially the video to go with it. How is it possible for Jules to still look attractive when covered in tobacco tar. I dont know

[janithemani]

underwater drums ?

Fuck yes ! :D

[Left4SeverelyWounded]

Not sure if i like this band or not, i guess ill have to wait till reading to see whether they are good or not :/

[oogie11]

@Left4SeverelyWounded Oh, well, I'm sure you will like some of their songs...I do like The Strokes, but there a few songs that I do not like as much. Happy listening :)

[mozmorris85]

The greatest thing a great band has ever done. Masterpiece of a song.

[Mr1BoJoangles]

This is my favourite Strokes song, the dramatic chord sequence 11 seconds in gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

[aunthilda56]

how is it possible for someone to look so good covered in mud...oh julian you've done it again! x

[grace65V3]

the beginning of the song reminds me vaguely of sum 41 in too deep :L

but yeah good song. great band.

[BiffyEllis]

@grace65V3 Hah it reminds me of I Want To Break Free by Queen.

[ScenesFromPalacio]

@BiffyEllis I WAnt To Break Free's a terrible song by a great band..THis is like a million times better

[BiffyEllis]

@ScenesFromPalacio Hah I agree but I was only refering to the first 3 or 4 seconds of the song. :)

[HJManson]

easily one of the best songs ever

[Eggywhipple]

I know this might sound weird, but does anyone else get reminded of the neverending story towards the edn when theyre drowning? When the horse is drownin in the bog? N the kid hu looks like Julian is tryin to drag him out... Just me then? Im drunk im sorry... But im not wronggggggg! xxx

[3000KJH]

@Eggywhipple Now you said it they have sort of the same hairstyle & with the mud it does remind me ov

N E S I think this is my favorite strokes song but there all really good its hard to choose cant wait to ge the new album

[iammcfearless]

watching julian is basically porn for me. i fucking love the strokes.

[MaddisonAndCecile]

brb, just marrying julian

[LackOfFaith]

Nobody dances better than Julian. He truly is a god.

[classicbritpop]

every time i here the start i think its sum 41 in to deep

[CoN0R115]

Some people think they're always right!!..... Others are quiet and uptight!!..... Others who seem so very nice nice nice nice nice, oh-oh!

[bookworm958]

best video iv ever seen!!! :)

[tobaccoflavouredrink]

this song has actually changed my life

[JLMLALMAPMS]

his dancing just makes this video!

Others they seem so very nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice... and that. that does too.

[superlulu291]

his mum must be so fuckin angry

[AngryStyro]

246 people are deaf and blind

[BrickyBoi]

OXEGEN 11 PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!! complete me

[FukkinMoshMachine]

Is the room filling up with Coke or Pepsi or something, if so... Drink your way out bitch :L iheartstrokes

[933Bane]

Hey,could someone tell me if I should play the lead guitar intro with just down strokes or alternate?

[amzoramy]

Why isn't this band bigger? The Strokes are fucking genius.

[gilmore1901]

When is the new album, have been waiting for ages lol best band ever and could be headlining Leeds easily big enough hope they tour the UK when the album does eventually come out :)

[april2458]

This video just proves that The Strokes are the best band in the world.

[transaltlanticism]

is there not a limp biskit video like this???

[aemypops]

HOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

[saraj12]

fucking rock and roll. best band ever. fact.

[MrNotPhat]

hope they headline Leeds/Reading next year!

This video is epic, and i cant get over Jules' dancing

[Vinny1574]

On wiki it says that the room in this video is supposed to represent the bands lungs and the black stuff is tobacco tar. There's a quote from Jules that said 'People tell us all the time we're gonna die from smoking, but you only live once.' The Strokes make me so happy (:!

[CoN0R115]

1:27 lol, looks like he's on the verge of laughing

[lolypop123456789]

Even the guys name is epic.

Julian Casablancas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[danieled19]

@lolypop123456789

you're right!

[itsfantastick]

the strokes are the fucking best

[willcfc92]

4.2 million views....although i think a few mill are by me. :P

[danieled19]

@willcfc92

yeahhh that's really cute!!!

[hugoefoda]

@willcfc92 haha the other half are mine then.

[MayanMystica]

Julians dancing is EPIC xD

[ciderdudey]

absolute quality song!!!!

[questcecestlepoint]

WHY haven't i been listening to the strokes this whole time?!

[graskartdude]

funkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. i want to make sweet love to this chorus!

[MrsDeppMcGregorBloom]

I love this!!!!! *like*, *favourite*

[OctoberBastard]

My god, Julian needs to start dancing more! He's incredible in this video haha he's one of a kind!

[grantaldn]

I don't get why "First Impressions..." was panned so much. This is a stunning track which opens the album, Julian himself has said this is song that best sums up The Strokes. While Juicebox, Heart In A Cage and the rest of the album is solid whilst expanding their sound. Which is ironically what the better recieved "Room On Fire" failed to do according to most critics

Anyway The Strokes are amazing and this is one incredible video!..
