Let me get this straight. So a cow who was made by cannibalistic monkeys inside a treehouse goes to eat hamburger meat and goes to a university to get a family. Man you gotta get me some of what their smoking.
Ha! It's funny what happens when you take the pornography out of music videos, people just don't know how to react. Let's hear it for trippy videos without pole dancing!!!
Bah... not too fond of that track... BP has done great things, but i'm really not hooked by this one... for once am i even a lil' disappointed... :((( but that doesn't diminish BP's talent @ all !!! And that's just one opinion out of thousands, so...
But i'm still fond od many BP tunes otherwise !!! :)))
This is Bloc Party's best song! You guys rock, seriously guys, this is amazing. I thought you couldn't get better than hunting for witches or helicopter. But wow.
@KimatSubPop having read ur comment i figured i would check out the ghost tongue, an i have to say that is the biggest piece of shit band i have ever heard. there are good bands out there, some better than bloc party, but dont u dare compare that crap to this.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is freaken awful, the music, the lyrics. It is a really annoying track, the only reason I clicked on it because Youtube Recommanded it to me. Its like bad dance music.
@kathleenblueeyes It's a song targeting George W. Bush (the beast), who was created by lobbyists (monkey doctors) in order to fabricate the Iraq War (red button/ war room) in order to get resources such as oil, etc. (bananas)
Ahh! Pretty good song but I dont really understand the video, and it gives me the creeps!!! Is it about someone else controlling our world or something???
@socrpimp1234 - but then again the creativity in their songs are also in, er, retrograde, too. Keep rehashing old materials and churning it as new. Hmm. I like their waay earlier stuff.
The thing that this song did to me though is it showed me that Bloc Party can pull something off slightly different from their initial element of dueling guitars the dynamic male vocalist and typical indie rock drum beats...I feel like they can, but people like myself don't mind their repetition. One day, I'm sure I will though, seeing as I've only listened for a matter of a year or so.
haha! yeah, i missed out on the last album, bought their first 2, now I'm playing catchup, I did the robot nonstop to this the first time i heard it, love, sonic brilliance, cant deny that beat
This song is So unique , you ass Holes who gives up On the Best Indie Band to ever come out of the UK , are assholes Listen to this song 3 times then it will hit you, its pure genius and you might want to but the fucking album and listen to the whole thing before you jus give up on them... GREAT SONG
@Baller0ti ha I insult your intelligence and consciousness of our government and you go right to vulgar comebacks. No sir, I believe you are the ignorant "dick" as you so plainly put it.
@Goal10ding Although I'm thankful for your explanation of the video to kathleen, you don't have to have such a condescending tone. Not everyone is as focused on American politics as you are.
@olderavi Thank you for acknowledging the explanation. I was only irked at the usual vulgar "wtf" comment with popular ratings and it lead me to write in such a tone. Really, this could be used to point to the corruption of any government, although this song specifically points out to America. I myself like the message "Hunting for Witches" song relays along with an awesome guitar cover.
@olderavi A glimpse into a parallel dimension caused by a mindfuck that severely damaged your visual cortex in your brain which means you will never be able to 'unsee' this.
It was at about this time that I stopped listening to Bloc Party's new music. I still like them as a band, but I'm not very supportive of a lot of the new stuff.
Most definetely. back when i first ever watched this video, i highly disliked this song. but honestly most people don't realize the reason you dislike songs is the environment you may be in around the time or place you heard it, and even who you may have heard it from, all affecting whether you like the song or not. It is a great song if you let it grow on you as aidyquinn quotes, it is a highly likable song if you are in the environment if you are in a workout mood as well. Love it:)
