  • not much people know or listen to Modest Mouse

  • can something not be a waste of time and still go nowhere?

  • yeah its called love

  • big, big fish...

  • hey theres bob barker

  • that big guy in the beginning of the song looks like that Santa from the old Coca-Cola commercials...0.o

  • PHRAGHAMRASHIGRAPHUGH

  • Santa

  • haha

    look at his leg

  • niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eee

  • oh that chubby old man with the long beard gives me thrills :)

    this is such a great song.

  • eww

  • cool song and video

  • Congratulations, you're the next Amputee Idol! ;)

  • this song is on our school announcements every day

  • @nikkixo28 lucky

  • seriously

  • everyday?

  • LOVE the vid...and the song of course

  • the end haha

  • This has to be one of the greatest songs ever written.

  • Hell to the yes it is! Great tune Love modest mouse. Can't wait for some more, and a new tour!

  • tiny giants made of tiner giants

  • dude this is so freakin trippy!!!

  • lol they have MUCH trippier videos, ocean breaths salty, little motel, whale song, and king rat are way trippier

  • not sure. . . . . but im guessing it has to do with getting over the bad things or something. . . . hahah idk or trying to do something. . . . . .

  • dos anybody have any idea what this song is about cuz its obviously not about a dashboard melting there has to be some kind of other meaning behind it dos anybody know what it is?

  • In this song, Isaac Brock sees the positive side of things even though the world around him is falling apart - the dashboard is melting, but they still have the radio. The "radio" could be a symbol of the band's music, which they will have no matter what.

  • i like that comparison. it's funny cause in the song "missed the boat" if you really pay attention, is pessimistic as all hell!

  • What are you writing a fucking essay or something? Fuck off asshole.

  • Hush u hillbilly

  • Alright, I laughed. :3

  • It wasnt supposed to be funny. So stop replying. Ta

  • are you serious? If you are serious, its kind of like Float On, its about how things aren't as bad as they seem. "The dashboard melted but we still have the radio." "The Car is on blocks but i was already where I want." "The windsheild is broken but I love the fresh air you know." lol, its pretty straightforward, but i guess not quite as straightforward as you thought

  • ya i guess i wuz just over thinking it lol

  • Man modest mouse has some weird vids but there music awesome

  • does anyone else think youtube is using subliminal messages. i dont want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but....

    anyway the next time you wake up with a rifle in your hands you'll know why. oh by the way Modest Mouse is awesome

  • agreed.

  • The voices in my head tell me that there are no subliminal messages on YouTube.

  • I wish I could understand what mine say but they are all chinese.

  • hahahah i get it

  • hahahaha

  • man i never get bored of this video

  • That's not a weird appendage.... THIS is a weird appendage!

  • Looks a little bit like him, especially @ 2:50 - 2:60

  • its him in makeup.... the entire video.

  • Really? You just made my day (though the "/sarcasm" crack was definitely deserved). ^^

  • The young guy's the guy from College Humor lol.

  • yeah, i think hes in that band modest mouse too. /sarcasm.

  • i like the end

  • this songs pretty awesome

  • Dude, Modest Mouse is the God of music.

  • why do they like always have boats in their music videos?

  • They are bad ass

    Q.E.D

  • shoulda' been, woulda' been, worse then you would eva' know

  • Is it just me or does this song seem different from every other song Modest Mouse has ever written?

  • i live the begainings of all Modest Mouse songs!!!

  • Awesome!! Took me a while to track down who did this. Finally did a lyrics finder ...

    LOVE this song!!

  • you should use yahoo answers

  • lol!!!

  • heh... old people

  • iv tabed most of dis song but i hav no idea wot is happening in the chorus ( wot marr is doing)

    help?

  • is it "were yet to crash so we just might aswell tow it" or " were yet to crash so we might aswell enjoy it"?

  • enjoy it!

  • "Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it

    We've yet to crash, but we still might as well tow it

    Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon"

    ^^

  • Love this video!

    Especialle how the guy looks at the end. "Told y'all"

  • pnwd

  • How does the title not go with the song the song is about looking at the bright side of things. 'the dashboard was melted but we still had the radio' 'the windshield was broken but i love the fresh air you know'

  • wat is this song even about

  • Awesome.

  • the start reminds me of the bar in the legend of old gregg on the mighty boosh =D

    fantastic song and the music video makes it brilliant!!!

  • yeah so original idea, for the song and video, tho the video, the song and the title of the song talk of diferent things, the only way the title relates with the song its because its part of it, and cus of the fishing boat

  • The title doesn't have to relate to the song in order to be good. There's plenty of songs that have a title that doesn't even get mentioned within the song.

    Coldpay's "The Scientist" and "Viva la Vida"

    A good portion of Fall Out Boy's songs follow this.

    Muse's "Hysteria"

    They're all good but their titles generally don't relate to the song. It's not the title that makes the song, it's the song itself (this especially true for "The Scientist")

  • ammm thanks for the lesson man but Im not critizising that! I actually like more when the song doesnt mention the title, I was just saying that because, I dont really know I just felt like saying it, and guesse what I didi it! (I am not mad) but well and well fall out boy, I dont like them reaciently, the sold out for a TV show, like the jonas brothers (shit) but like the old ones!

  • im seeing their show tonight

  • thats so cool i wish i could see them.

    i bet it was awesome.

  • this song is fucking amazing

  • man i love this song and man does anybody know if its playable on rockband?!?! AHHH I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • good stuff

  • My favorite of the newer Modest Mouse tracks

  • maybe the best Modest Mouse video...

  • not the redneck sounding version

  • i replaced by dick with drums i beat them at the time lol

  • god, there was some anti-meth commercial on after this song, i thought it was some extra part of the song that i forgot about and it freaked me out. good job targetting their demo i guess. good will to all.

  • i love love love love this song. probably one of my favorite modest mouse songs!

  • still have the radio

  • they all look like captain Sham from series of unfortunate events!

  • lol

  • i was thinking about getting a microphone hand first, but then i decided that i'd rather replace my leg with a guitar

  • This song is pretty cool, especially the little guitar riffs in it.

  • Reminds me of being on vacation. And those guys look like Olde Salty from The Sims Bustin' Out.

  • i love them so much.

    i love the little guitar riff in this

  • wher have i hear this song i think on like a snow board vid or game im not sure

  • You were probably listening to it during English class when they were teaching proper grammar.

  • haha

    that was a good one

  • actually i think it was on a snowboard game, sfx maybe or amped

  • Its on shawn whites snowboarding game i have it for the ps3

  • modest mouse's vids are the best.

  • uhhh yeah...how about you skate best to w/e fuckin music you like?...and also the "skate with my board" kid......now we all know you're a poser ..bet you ride an element and wear etnie's

  • lolz best MOP DANCE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • not really you only skate best when their underground beats

  • skaters like rails smashing there nuts.

  • omg mfserious you're right lol

  • i lol'd at guitar legged bob over there

  • hahaha me too

  • REALLY good video.

  • LMFAO.

  • This song is always good to jam with my friends when we go out and Skate with our boards.

  • you sound gay "Skate with our boards" is just the gayest way of saying skateboarding... I skateboard but I dont say it homosexually like that

  • your the homo peownd

  • nah its gayer to say sk8

  • You do your best skating while listening to gansta beats!

  • Fuck no, dude. You need classic rock to skate your best.

  • To each his own...I suppose...

  • you're all homos

  • no you dont understand its not about coolness its about efficiency and that kid sounding like he would be the person with a lisp

  • I like this video a lot. The themes and tune are really good. I just have one beef with it. When Isaac is being carried to the doctor, notice his hands. First it's the right, then the left, then right and finally left again that's missing. I notice these things sometimes.

  • how do you know his name is Isaac?

  • Because I like the band and know his name is Isaac from reading the inside of album covers.

  • yeah I saw that too... I assume what they did is reverse the video horizontally so that it looks like theyre still taking him the same direction

  • Mfserious, I think it's to show that he's going insane, or that he's seeing things in an odd way.

    I noticed it too, but I thought it might be meant to be, because of how it was done.

    Maybe they were good at hiding their mistake, I dunno. Good eye, though.

  • idk, i was under the impression that he actually went to a crazy world...but thats just me, cus the guy in the end pulls out his guitar leg to show he'd been there

  • Well, that's a good point. I'd like to think it was just someone failing asleep at the editor's table.

  • I think it has to deal with him literally telling a story and people not believing him until someone showed up with the same type of story/proof.

  • Comment removed

  • Fave song :D

  • 3 Woots for facial hair!

  • mlb 2k8

  • Nothing is better than mops.

  • 3:16 best part of a music video ever

  • Yep, I agree. Nothing beats a lot of mops dancing!

  • I cant watch this video without laughing at all the beards :)  Awesome!!

  • Great beard. Looks great.

  • i love this band

  • this= awesome

  • that should be made into a movie.

  • look closer

  • ye i saw it lol good job finding that

  • sometimes the arm without a hand changes. first its the right, then when hes being dragged it changes to the left, then back to the right, then the left, then right again
