[ggglo1]

hahaha childhood memories :)



[zachy7777]

This song is terrible, I love it.

[Tom31994]

fontaine..lol...squirdo...

[matthemod]

bouncing boobs...like a lava lamp.

[Jagwa3]

Every Friday me and my mate would drive home from school with this song blazing...today was the last day though----because i graduated today yeeeewwww!

[kikemesa1]

ok is good ok is very good

[BlckComb]

The cheerleaders are a great addition to this video

[RegBpiano]

Photoshopped

[pancakeboy12]

haha this video is funny

[SkaGetsMeHigh]

I'm an American and I love The Cat Empire. They're so fresh and unlike anything else. They're my favorite part of Australia. I can't wait for them to come to Houston if they ever do.

[annabellyfullofjelly]

I'm in love with the trombone guy <3

[tlrxlver]

The Cat Empire had their own marching band. That's an automatic win!

[matthemod]

I wonder how much of this song actually happened in his life, and does Fontaine realise how much of a bitch she is.

[kernowkings4]

This song kinda sums up my life, love it though :D

[beefbaron]

Sounds a lot like Bon Scott

[qclaurent11]

pffff...

3 cheerleaders = misogynistic...

are you crazy or just frustrated ???

[Kfairy]

i love this song but i am so disappointed with this video, why the gratuitous shots of women cheerleaders ? - Absolutely not needed and completely misogynistic, c’mon Cat Empire I thought you guys were better than this !!

[chesterinoaussie]

@Kfairy totally gratuitous. Cheerleaders at a basketball game- since when does that ever happen! Seeing girls in skirts while watching a music video makes me think less of them. I blame The Cat Empire! Get over yourself.

[TheRappists6996]

@Kfairy Get the fuck outta here. Jesus Christ you people are so dumb

[michaelkrois]

@Kfairy make me a sandwich

[Larrxxx]

Unfortunately this is the story of my life. Never mind, Some day ill sort my shit out :) Epic tune :)

[SumWunGye]

2:36 LOL never noticed that guy who just tackles the mascot XD

[1234jerkman]

0:10 - 0:11 HELLL YEAHHH!!!

[faima89]

amazing video plus the cheerleaders are awsome

[thegeniusofthecrowd]

awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Teddy94woopwoop]

this type of music should be band..

it's too ADDICTIVE!

makes my brain stop working propperly, and i feel light headed and happy when i listen to it :)

[flickr95]

cat empire is like australia in a band- the world still hasnt quite realised how great they are. cause they cant quite keep up with them :)

[TheZombieRainbow]

@flickr95 Agree'd <3

[flickr95]

these guys make me so proud to be aussie. and they are SO un american... nice for a change :)

[Indie2135]

aussies <3

[ChibiAMA]

I was born in America but I completely agree. However my love for the cat empire is insurmountable!

[snitches2442]

@ChibiAMA same here

YESSSSSS LOVE THE CAT EMPIRE!!!!!!!!!!

[snitches2442]

Ever since i saw this i have to watch this video AT LEAST one time a day

fuckin love The Cat Empire

[predalien33]

ow yeah i forget all us aussie ride kangaroos to school, and we fly eagles to work.. comon guys we aint fucking tards we do play basketball like u americans .....get ready for it... get ready... we also drive cars :o .. shocked?

[ThatsMeSari]

haha 1:52 xD love it

[jhfh3112]

Since when did Aussies play basketball?

[Kabloomi]

@jhfh3112 since when did your country play basketball?

[halag]

@Kabloomi Say what?????????????? What rock do you live under?

[shiznitshnitzel]

this song is so bad they couldn't even get an attractive cheerleader to be in the video

[Florrezz]

@shiznitshnitzel i bet they are hotter than anything you could ever land. :P

[mrpshepherd]

@shiznitshnitzel Tongue in cheek = subtle = extremely NON American. You have to be an Aussie to appreciate the sense of humour - listen to the words and the music man - make you own picture!

[Speckled10]

words cant describe how much I love The Cat Empire .. their incredible music is just whats good about life ..

[Babelfish112]

@Speckled10 exactly! they make me feel happy! just listen to 'hello' when im angry/stressed and im all better!

[1337c00kies]

1:16

Nice.

[annyid8]

no matter how I feel, this song lifts me up...love your work boys

[jakesthesex]

[utranman123]

[skimug]

[utranman123]

[bundle12]

[fonny1782]

I'm madly in love with cat empire music

[BrotherPrimus]

Where is "The Cat Empire Fever"?... Kids these days... :)

[MrMayhem3k]

@BrotherPrimus lmao...well ik ive got it..i found them about a a month ago around my 17th birthday

[limosince2007]

music is out of time with the vid

[kaisaris25]

@limosince2007 No it's not.

[limosince2007]

@kaisaris25 only by like a millisecond. but its out

[steveguthrie1970]

I'm having this band! Just checked out Sly and also L'Hotel de Californie. All top tunes. Who says the only good thing to come out of Australia is the flight back to London? Plus Kylie of course. Everyone loves Kylie.

[tundernerd]

is this a other singer?

[BibleStorm]

@tundernerd They have two (lead) singers. I believe the singer in this one plays trumpet aswell. Obviously not at the same time.

[Indoanonymous]

@tundernerd his name is harry

[pootinker]

Love this...

[Azawindam]

LoL, I love this music video! It's so intense and entertaining!

[shutupgranville1]

I think its awesome! Great lyrics. Great song overall.

[criticaldoza]

mate, how do people like you...just look at your comments...and then shoot yourself.

[BrotherPrimus]

@bigbadwoIf

If this is crappy music, WHY do people like it... Ask yourself that... and if you don't know the answer... It's not crappy.

[BrennyBlues]

@badwolf

ur giving a bad name to doctor who u douche!

[criticaldoza]

your life is terrible...

[kateluv99]

ok i managed to get it on my iphone,but it come from  twitterurl,net/i/kf ???

[NickG88]

lol @ Freud's cameo

[DANNNNNNNO]

One of the horns has a mellophone!

I love those giant novelty trumpets!

[potatobucketmaster]

hey, man.... I play the mellophone. its not just a novelty trumpet, its better than a trumpet! and if it weren't for the mellophone in TCE, they might not rock as much!

[DANNNNNNNO]

Yeah, sorry mate, I was just stirring.

There's this french horn player in our marching band who plays the mellophone in the band, and I wish he would play more of it. It has a really awesome sound! Quite distinct to trumpet. The nickname "giant novelty trumpet" just came from the fact that my own trumpet was more than two times heavier than the huge-looking mellophones at our school.

So that's definitely Harry playing mellophone in "Sly"? Sweet!

[missceciliablues]

This is sooo funny!! I love it!!

[againanotherone]

so much fun to watch!

poor harry xD

[perfect1O]

Hahaha. I love this song. I laughed my ass off through most of it.

[cheesymusican]

1:03

coolest bear ever

[criticaldoza]

I think it's supposed to be a cat. After all, it is the Cat Empire

[CallumTwaddell]

@criticaldoza

It's a cat's eye with a crown on top. Hence the Cat Empire.

[criticaldoza]

@CallumTwaddell no I meant the mascot during the music video

[PlaaTheAlmighty]

@CallumTwaddell its called the cat empire because of felix - the guy who formed it

[predalien33]

Aussies rule and fuck u who are haterz :)

[kaysho]

@predalien33

Mate, your country is soooo new that you have to hang onto any ego that you can...you know, we all know taht your living on stolen land, must be hard to live with that, but your all so educated in such a way that you ignore that fact...I like Australia, wish it didnt have so many Australians in it tho....

[predalien33]

@kaysho man i dont give a shit, i got a roof over my head and food to eat i couldnt care less where i live, but its funny how your trying to cyber bully me over a song.. grow the hell up man..

[kaysho]

[Philsbury01]

I'll always remember their show at Quebec city <3

[SwansPremiers05]

I saw the Cat Empire last night at the Enmore in Sydney. Awesome performance, first time I'd seen them live and I'll go back again anyday to see them when they're in Sydney.

They performed this song, with Jumps wearing the same basketball singlet.

Go the Cat Empire!

[Samiishka]

I woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head.

I hadn't heard it for years.

ahh the memories :)

[twhishlovesscrubs]

there cool.

[HaroIspeakengrish]

2 Lead singers: Felix Riebl (the long hair guy), Harry Angus (guy in this video)

[QueensOfLeona]

it is the car song if you listen to the chorus he talks about cars and stuff

and its a basketball game cause he says "My parents say think about your future and my teachers say the same

But its hard

When theres a basketball game in the park"

so duhhhhh

[Juggles4]

Pardon my unfamiliarity with the awesomeness that is TCE, but who is the guy singing in this? He looks nothing like the lead singer in Hello or any of their other videos.

[lurkingchicken]

I'm in the dark as much as you, but i think there are mutiple singers, if you look closely you can see the other singer too.

[placetexthere1]

there are two main singers but often they each have a whole song to themselves like if you look at the wine song by the cat empire then its this guy, but if you look at sly or days like these it has the other guy with the long hair. hope that was helpful

[IGotBannedAgainFTM]

Harry

[420Sabbath]

his names harry, check out the group 'Jackson Jackson' he sings in that one and it's a really good group.

[georgezimmer]

Is it just me or did the quality get lower? I guess now I have to buy the mp3 :)

[Schaukelpferd1]

I LOVE The cat Empire! They're soooo good!

[kelst75]

Can anyone tell which song from the earlier albums features a sone with the video involving a train and the band just jamming and some girls dancing. Quite sexy but it's just a casual performance video?

[madkitty11123]

Is it the song 'Sly'? Sounds like it from that

[Redrocketlawls]

im pritty sure its called Sly

[angelskasplonk2]

I'm 100% sure its 'Sly'

[avstar88]

nope, very definatly car song

[angelskasplonk2]

huh?? r u sure its the car song because the car song is when TCE is in a basketball game :).

sly's the one with the train and girls dancing

[avstar88]
