for our elegant caste - of montreal

[MsYumeIsHere]

I really dont understand why Of Montreal doesn't have more recognition. Their music contains depth as well as a great sound. His voice is super unique!! :D

[KewKewKashi]

I like the chorus sound, but the rest is meh

[LivelyPaint]

@KewKewKashi My thoughts exactly.

[adamtomita]

Hey guys, I just finished up a Bass cover of Of Montreal's "For our elegant caste" I'd really appreciate it if anyone would mind watching and possibly leaving insight. I really appreciate it in advance as i worked pretty hard on this one...

[dapimpsta69]

This song is about him exploring homosexuality. When he was younger, his schoolmates would pick on Kevin for being feminine. Kevin decided that if he was going to be picked on, he might as well see how being gay is like. He wanted he said to be part of a more "Elegant Caste".

[Sh3llyl0sth3rm1nd]

Like, oh! But, List Christie disagrees! Says she sees into the core of my poor machine. (tell me what she sees?) Frightened and cornered Gemini tatics, and... attempts to crack the party code, and there's one more thing.

WE CAN DO IT SOFTCORE, IF YOU WANT! BUT, YOU SHOULD KNOW, I TAKE IT BOTH WAYS!

[NoirOeil69]

i was wrapped in discourse with a magazine reader. the mutual conclusion is I'm not worth knowing, 'cause I'm probably dead...

[Neonyxia]

Kevin is hot.

[FrostieDragon]

i want that feather head dress @.@

[earthfish75]

C'mon guys... This has NOTHING to do with being bi, straight or gay. When he says'' we can do it softcore but you should know I can go both ways'' He means he also goes hardcore... rough! Not gay and/or straight! It seems pretty obvious to me!

[Sammiurai]

@earthfish75 alright, thats why during his live performances he sometimes screams "GAY. STRAIGHT" in the middle of it.

[EmoteRanger]

I couldn't stop grinning throughout this entire song.

[nihilistichotmagic]

but you should know i take it both wwwaaayyysss

[underfliptown]

lol this song is hillarious, one of the better from skeletal lamping

[FreeBlurr]

If you don't like a song, what do you do? You DON'T fucking listen to it ya dumbasses!

Of Montreal<3

[01pinkplatypus01]

<333

This is so fabulous.

[lenninc]

Don't worry, he's not gay, ya homophobes.

George Fruit on the other hand...

[broketrigger]

this song sucks balls. it generally sounds not only gay, but also bad. It truly does not sound "good" to general people and those that do like this probably have other reasons than how the song actually SOUNDS

[ttthe1st]

@amazingvideoman2 get over yourself, palookah.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@broketrigger how can you not like this song(their BEST song) and have an of montreal song set as your favorites?

[MrZontex]

@broketrigger No e.e

[Jonnythecowboy666]

@broketrigger dude stick to your hipster music.

[dariusthewhit]

lol my dad walked in my room while i was listening to this, shook his head and said " I always knew you were mommys little bender"...... dad im not ga.... door shuts

[Fixdal]

@dariusthewhit classic

[anxiovert]

@dariusthewhit

LMAO!

I'm sure that after listening to the whole "taking it both ways" he freaked out LOLOLOLOL

[caitmccann]

9 people don't take it any way.

[Erif888]

all the homophobics needa chill the fuck out. who cares if he or the song is gay?

[BullCrusher]

@Erif888 hes not gay.

[cumxnxdiexwitxme]

soft core rules!!!!!!!!!

[MissJ1nsu]

Love the song ha.

[DAFIZZIF]

Barnes is not gay, but Georgie Fruit may very well be.

[warvad]

WHY CAN'T I TROLL

[battlemullet]

@warvad @warvad @warvad @warvad @warvad @warvad @warvad @warvad 

[scottygev]

Kevin Barnes has a wife and kid, he is not gay.

[iStartedOMG]

its not about being gay but goin both ways when the time comes hehe....>.<.......

[oopo1]

The song is the gayest thing ever, but Kevin Barnes has a wife....

[TessaSchouten]

@oopo1 O.O wow.

[SusyScribbles96]

this is awsome :D nd who gives if hes gay or not.. either way this is good music ^_^

[brownxsugar101]

ok every body is gay xcvept the lady n i forgot which guy

[IoEstasCedonta]

@brownxsugar101 No, you're thinking of the Scissor Sisters

[NikkusD3vil]

He's not gay. He's singing through a hyper sexual alter-ego he created for his music.

[Windfall32]

He's bisexual I think. But seriously, Barnes just radiates sexual energy live, its nuts

[PoorDeadBat]

*loves Of Montreal* :):)

[bubblesxpopxelectric]

gemini tactics <3

[Swiftlygothedays]

I don't care what anyone says. I love Kevin's make up and outfits. He seems too good to be real. I mean, is he real? Is he a mortal? He's some sort of other being. The spirit of surrealism put into a human body.

[Jibahyiska]

thts hot. Long live Of Montreal! yuh!

[Disabomb]

Okay fine, that's just what I heard in other youtube videos, but now the sparkle shit is especially fucked up.

[shaynescope]

Kevin barnes isn't gay, he's married, idiot.

[TheCrimper]

@shaynescope You can be gay AND married to a woman. It's called not coming out of the closet. Who cares anyways? This shit is bangin.

[shaynescope]

@TheCrimper I love of montreal, kevin barnes even if he was gay, i would honesty not care.

[Disabomb]

I'm cool with the singer being a homosexual, there's nothing wrong with it, but I do have a problem with that damn eye sparkle stuff. It's creepy.

[CyggyStardust]

@Disabomb You know he's not actually gay, right? He has a wife and a daughter.

[overdose1992]

lmfao! the black guy in the back!

[pressplay44]

@overdose1992 ahahaha

[fictivevein]

I'm going to see them in athens hopefully I'll catch both shows!!!!!!

[CessnaContrail]

@fictivevein athens...georgia or ohio??

[ctpwns]

greece

[codyyde]

Pure sex!

[blazinkygirl]

I agree. Pure, unadulterated, sextabulous awesomeness! Looove it!!

[asmallmoon]

Correction: Pure Softcore Sex!

[glittervomitpixy]

AAAAAHHHHGGG. DIGITALLY REMOVED NIPPLES. weird.

[NbaRapLover]

ah, i didn't realized until you mentioned it...how awkwardly unnatural..

[JTHockey08]

of montreal b/c kevins long lost love was from of montreal, hence the song, Requieum for O.M.M. 2

have never actually 100% fig'd it out, but

requiem for of montreal maiden is what I gather. dunno what happened to R for OMM 1, though.

[siiiiiiiiiike]

or she was... you know... OF MONTREAL. not from "of montreal"... there is no "of montreal"

[JTHockey08]

typo buddy

[bjorkismyhomie]

soooooooooooo catchy!!!!!!!

[dulamsuren90]

LIke this song! Lil bit daft , elegant bass and sexy!

[MaxusPhinneas]

this song has become somewhat of a fad at my school, by me singing he refrain nonstop just to be annoying. It's one of my least favorite of montreal song though haha

[fashionandmusic921]

I wish this song weren't so catchy.

lol

[frozenpeas1241]

WOAH wtf?!? in the picture did anyone else notice that no one has belly buttons or nipples? lol?

love the song! sooo catchy! :D

[jessicagoober]

haha yeah i stare everytime

[Dragonblad3man]

wtf!! ur right!

[frozenpeas1241]

my lord.. while listening to every song i'm sitting there with a giant grin on my face... the vocals/harmony, lyrics, and incorporation of different sounds and styles is fantastic!

[skitfu]

This song makes me want to hurt people.

*maybe sucker-punch a three year old*

[bellamonkey2002]

What IS this song about?

[AlexiLaiho227]

sex

[montemike]

oh billy!

[therealsoulproduct]

Of Montreal....they're so drrrrrty!!!!!

[alyssamichelle1818]

hahaha wow...

[jessicagoober]

00:33-00:53 makes me melt haha

[dasfinks]

You have chosen the perfect twenty seconds.

[JordanVANNA]

perfect 20 seconds!!!!!!

[JENx190]

this is like a mix between abba and the beatles haha i love this

[misskoool]

I'd say Beatles and Queen and a little Abba. Love this song, especially the beginning!

[JordanVANNA]

fuck yeah :DDDD

[cutestlittlemonkey]

i love this song! it has a good beat

[cjwynes]

This is one of the best of their new stuff. All I can say about their latest album is that Barnes really must have spent a LOT of time listening to early-to-mid-80's Prince lately, lol.

[themanwhoplaysbass]

this song is undeniably sexy

accept the influence of your id!

[Wearygigapet]

This song is surely the best single they've released.

[hobohippie36]

ohh man. this song. makes me wild.

[JordanVANNA]

hahahahahahahah I LOVE THIS!

[hondatuner1320]

I was ridin in my car with my friend who was previously kinda homophobic. hes chilled out, and is into techno and shit with me now. this was playin and he was like "dude, are they talking about..." "yeah lol, but its so damn catchy" "haha yea it is. fuck it, i like it"

[zefluke]

I'm very glad this song is on here. My friend Dan and I work together at a burger place on the river and we both really like Of Montreal, but he confessed to me that the other day when our boss walked in while this song was playing in the kitchen and asked what the hell it was, Dan just said, "I don't know, it's Kelsey's weird crap..."

[brittanyc36]

I kept singing this at marching band practice

Got some looks for it but who cares

[eivul]

quoi? they have a lady in their group? feel like a noob now

[ewgayppl]

[BreannaBananax]

Yeah, the girl is the keyboard player.

[headbangingidiot]

hahahaha

[BreannaBananax]

I love this band aswell as this song and the picture is awesome.

[causticxmonster]

[MINUSoTHEoBEAR]

[alovetrue]

[twelveislucky]

[dougyt2]

[toveksasyout33]

[manbeast74]

the guy on the left aint got no nipples

[eivul]

[Urgirl303biabia]

This song is the best

I LOVE IT

LALALALALA

[nandant]

this is the best song to fuck to.

[VoodooMachineFilms]

Im unhappy to be from Montreal right now.

[0Angelix0]

Oh come on it isn't serious.

[VoodooMachineFilms]

I mean, if I were on E this music would be great.

I used to listen to stuff like this all the time when i was rolling, and i know it's good music and plenty of people love it, but it sounds really childish to me.

Again, thats just my opinion.

[BiskitFoo]

They're from Georgia...

[VoodooMachineFilms]

"They're from Georgia... "

Damn, well why the hell are they called "Of Montreal" then?

Assholes. Stealing my city's name.

[jman800215]

Shut the hell up... Don't try to cover up how stupid you look right now.

[VoodooMachineFilms]

Lol what's YOUR problem..?

I said that in MY* opinion I did not like this music, and then made a joke..

Get over yourself dude..

[NeHumanasCrede]

"Get over yourself dude.."

From the one who obviously can't live without getting in the last word despite making a total ass of himself by making uninformed assumptions? That's a little hypocritical don't you think?

[VoodooMachineFilms]

yea maybe.

what does it matter?

This site has a shitty community, i don't put any effort or thought into most of my comments or responses, because it's mostly morons who won't get anything i say.

Plus, this character count is a bitch when it comes to trying to get your point across.

[NeHumanasCrede]

Oh no, you're SO misunderstood.  Forgive all us morons for failing to comprehend the stories about your days of "rolling on E" and your fantastic critique of music. I'm sure we could all benefit from it's underlying wisdom.

[jman800215]

"This site has a shitty community, i don't put any effort or thought into most of my comments or responses, because it's mostly morons who won't get anything i say."

You can't complain about this, Because you are contributing to it. Well said NeHumanasCrede, Well said.

[VoodooMachineFilms]

yea.. i wasn't really trying to be an asshole.

I just made a few jokes, and lightly insulted the music.

Fucking burn me at the steak. Im so horrible.

[xderDoktor]

I saw the word "steak" and it made me hungry.

[VoodooMachineFilms]

mmmmm steak.

[jfjiowjfj8759kxn]

@VoodooMachineFilms Insulting of Montreal! The horrors! These men and women are Jesus incarnate (complete with melodrama and fancy clothing) and God rolled into one neat package.

[VoodooMachineFilms]

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­U-

[jnld5]

Your words read like poetry! I know this has nothing to do with your convo.

This song is brilliant fun....

[neoslasher09]

I got your jokes man. I love this band and if you don't like them cool, that's your opinion. People take stuff WAY too seriously when they know you can't jump through the computer and kick their ass.

[kruddykuffar]

Let's do it hardcore .... always all ways.

[0Angelix0]

how can you not like this song... It's like not liking Queen!

[jordansupra]

great song for pelvic thrusts

[caskettheclown]

[SgtSoprano]

[FatKidWithACookie]

[BreannaBananax]
