[gillian95clark]

[TheNiborselig]

"So I'm on BBC2 now...telling Terry Wogan how...I made it and...

What I made is unclear now....

But his deference is, and his laughter is....

My words and smile, are so easy now"

Top lyrics

[ChildOfDarkness12]

...all the boys i hate

all the girls i hate

all the words i hate

all the clothes i hate

how i'll never be

anything i hate

you smile, mention something that you like. or how you'd have a happy life

if you did the things you like...

[Vorrutyer]

@Veertjee00; For me; Exactly the same. I love the kooks and the arctic monkeys!

[19fitch]

awesome song. this was filmed in my school :)

[nigeljudice]

Why is British music so much better than American music? As much as I love living in Louisiana...

[andy191266]

@nigeljudice because we accept the flaws in our country are profound...

[Patriotis1337]

I love their dancing in all their vids! it seems kinda half hearted and gives off a really puppet-like effect, I just don't know what it is about it, but its amazing!

[MrZorro7]

the british are rock

[SnappyguyGame]

The Music video version sounds a lot better than the other versions I've heard. They are all good but I love that this has a faster beat :D

[joebyrneguitar]

this album came out just as i started high school - it reminds me off being in lessons when i was very young and connecting with the music

[mmsnyman]

I dont want to live in a world without music - this song reminds my why....

[Veertjee00]

I still don't understand how people can say: 'hmm, little bit weak.' about this song&band.

[Youlubucki]

manatee

[gogolplex74]

Is it just me or does Alex remind me Damon Albarn?

[Veertjee00]

@highdefinitionmuse nice ;)

[ryanhickers]

Franz Ferdinand rock my boat! Do 47 people not like BBC 2 and Terry Wogan?

[dmcdante7989]

[FataMucchina]

I love this song



[rawriizbigga]

[carolmargulies]

Stop - pushing -the - replay - button

[DrBukcake]

Is it ok for me to look every day at this video and masturbate 4 times a day looking at all those sluts in the skirts?

[AdrianHiitman]

Wish all the schools kindly play alternative rock instead of those sick pop, R&B and hip hop songs.

[IHaveTheMostAwesome]

@AdrianHiitman there's an ipod cable in our common rroom, so trust me, decent music gets played in schools ;)

[Aidelwaish]

@AdrianHiitman you are absolutely right. I wish that all of my friends listen to rock instead of pop, R&B and hip hop too..

[jonnytheoasisfan]

@AdrianHiitman There are always motown

[TsunWolfiie]

Hah..I remember when I first listened this song; I was buying a shirt in a clothes shop, and I asked to the seller which was the name of the song, and then I fell in love with it ♥

[Karano1994]

i wonder what terry wogan thinks of this song!! :D

[TsunWolfiie]

@Veertjee00 I'm very proud of people of your age which listens this music instead of that fucking comercial music lml

[jessie1793]

@Veertjee00

I listened to the when I first started out :D

[Veertjee00]

@jessie1793 Hahaha xD

[Veertjee00]

@Veertjee00 Btw: I'm 14 now :$ (I know, it don't matter xD)

[davdilinil123]

@Veertjee00 youre just like me :)

[Seaphire7]

@Veertjee00 Thank you for having a music taste. There is hope for our generation yet <3

[Veertjee00]

@Seaphire7 Hahaha <3

[Goraszewska]

@Veertjee00 I'm actually 3 and I listen this too (Jimmy Eat World, the strokes kings of Leon &Co.) just because it is really better than lady gaga, Spears & Inna

[Veertjee00]

@Goraszewska You rock!

[rachelolympic]

@Veertjee00 I'm 13 too, and love Franz Ferdinand. Why bother about 'everyone else'? That's their taste. Let it be. Just enjoy the music :)

[rachelolympic]

@Veertjee00 Especially since it's their loss anyways.

[oliviasemacento]

@Veertjee00 YOUNGSTERS SHOULD SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THEIR FUCKING AGE. Jesus, at least Justin Bieber fans aren't so full of themselves. You're not better than anyone just because you're young and you listen to good music. Seriously, grow the fuck up. What are you trying to prove? Man, just listen to the songs. THE SONGS YOU LISTEN TO DON'T DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. With comments like that, you just sound way dumber than those kids who like popsongs.

[Veertjee00]

@oliviasemacento wow, i really dont understand why youre so angry :S I really didnt want to be "cool" or something. and i dont want to have a fight with you..

[oliviasemacento]

@Veertjee00 sorry for all the cursing. it was the heat of the moment and it was really uncalled for.

It's just that I think it's irrelevant to state your age. Nowadays people turn everything into a wat they can be "better" than everyone else. The songs you listen to, the books you read, the places you go, your age... This is something that really gets to me. I'm truly sorry for being rude, but my opinion is still the same: trying to sound like a ~grown up~ who likes ~good~ music is just futile.

[Veertjee00]

@oliviasemacento its okay. your opinion is like mine. maybe that sounds strange, but, as i told you, i didnt say it to be cool. i can also be annoyed by people who are telling they're better becouse they are younger or well wethever.. it was not my aim to be like them. 

[OhSoStrangeStudios]

@oliviasemacento And for an adult that was a very absurd and irresponsible outburst :)

[AlsoCleocatra]

Hey, someone should make a game like that on kinect

[Tracyteqc]

tenia muchas ganas de oir esta cancion , mi alma esta en paz ahora

[L1ZZ1771]

VH2 - takes me back

[francisalmi]

ça ressemble à tout et rien à la fois... rien de neuf en fait ! et c'est aussi très monotone.

[PixilatedPosse]

Wow what a rip off from Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver song and Video. The guitar is so close and then throw in the funny dance to it. LOSERS!

[Minority119]

@PixilatedPosse whatever, bro

just listen to the music

[TehSlothman]

@PixilatedPosse I fully agree. I hadn't heard anyone use quaver quaver crotchet apart from primus until this. 

[crazyguy47]

*cough* the strokes are way better than Franz Ferdinand

[kLaRiiuX]

excelente cancion!

[s27945]

Franz Ferdinand .

[Tracyteqc]

Planeo cada recorrido

Para chocar contigo

Accidentalmente...!

[StewieHW]

Haha.

The ear part thingy was humping the inside of the ear :D

[Garompman]

Thumbs up if you think the girl with short hair is hot

[Ashitaka255]

lol @ Terry Wogan pic

[Warsource]

I find quite funny the fact that the first chords of this song, sound exactly the same as the ones of the song "Foxy Lady" by Jimi Hendrix

[Kimba1313666]

@Warsource I find quite funny that you say that, cuz there's a huge difference between them actually

[StewieHW]

The Mark of the Manitee.

It's when a manitee sits on your 8-year-old son;

It leaves The Mark of the Manitee.

[Viniciussalcli]

very cool dance :D

[TheMosert]

is the best , uno de los mejores videos que ke vi en mi vida :)

[lubylovesyou]

This is just an immense title for a song :L

[MadameLil]

@Jellyhair1224 Because she's still considered hot?

[mangaflip62]

[MarisaShorty]

LOVE this song.

[WetPooooopie]

[mangelixz1]

♪ find me and follow me .... find me in the matinee dark of the matinee♪

[FlCl3000]

i got high in school one day, dont do it kids, when this song started playing in my headphones all the stuff on the walls and room started dancing around. after class i went in the hall and started dancing like them. 2 people joined the rest cheered. almost got caught being high though

[Quentelent]

After 2:40 it sounds like a lullaby...........all dozy and cozy like.........and then suddenly you wake up and find yourself in a jovial class where everyone's doing that funny marionette dance........nah,man.... maybe im still dreaming

[StephanoelaLovesRHCP]

they are made of pure awesome-ness

[MrAlexandregr]

holy mother crap, alex kapranos has a blue mangekyou sharingan at 0:52

[TheLolikr]

@RockFreak67 "lol since 35 people don't have the same opinion as me i'm gonna be a douche and call them LoOzeRz!l lololololololololololol!!!"

[RIVEXNGLE]

Wow... It really is like Hell Hotel by TMBG.

[udenlover]

[JKKDARK]

I dislike this shit. They look like a bunch of retards.

[pramboy09]

@JKKDARK and i'm sure you can gives and idea what a "retard" looks like

[JKKDARK]

@pramboy09

Don't you mean "give an idea"? Well, you're a good example when we talk about retards. Nice english, dude.

[RiusLove]

@JKKDARK Wow, hun, if do nothing but judge by looks, you're gonna grow up to be nothing but a vexatious philistine. And if you don't like something, don't comment! Chances are you'll just get spammed, and labeled as a troll! Beware of your actions hun, the internet isn't a place for 12 year olds ;)

I love Franz Ferdinand, his style of music is absolutely Amazing! (In my opinion, that is)

[jeanwesker]

i just wanna say this is an amazing song and i'd like to kill the 42 people who said dislike

[l0NELYundConfused]

I'm sorry but this song is so GODDAMN sexy.

I'm also glad it's based on 1984 (George Orwell FTW)

[TheAratto]

Franz Ferdinand is Great

Greetings From Chile !

[blinkfirst777]

[indiechik5]

That voice......it's just....wow.

[velvetrevolver84]

[mantonio891]

[shandritha5555]

@goslawa44 that is curious , cuz I would like that my parents don't hate me just because I hear this song like 20 times in just an hour...=)you have a lucky son

[RockFreak67]

@shandritha5555 if you listen to this song 20x in an hour...that means you're cutting out 21 minutes of the song per hour

:O

[NazgulRebirth]

@RockFreak67

*Facepalm*

Think before talking i know right =D

[shandritha5555]

@RockFreak67 i hear this song like 20 times in an hour because sometimes i cut the song :/

[stefmansim]

@RockFreak67 he said "like 20 times, that could mean anywhere from 5-40 times

[vhulksantos]

@shandritha5555 that is impossible.. the song has 4 minutes lool

[jimmeni]

"I time every journey to bump into you, accidentally" that is the best, ive done it, to one girl. Im not a full blown stalker, but the line is so true for most of us!

[goslawa44]

don't know why, but this is my son's favourite video. he's 13 months and hates teletubbies and another video for kids and want watch this one all the time.

[ashoftomorrow]

@goslawa44 hmmm this is what is known as projection, class.

[pilot946]

39 arse holes dislike this video

[TehN00Bpwnator]

I have hope for mankind :) bubble gum rap almost killed that hope! :O

[NazgulRebirth]

Nostalgia =)

[SophistAtheist]

[0202gete]

uupdown2 : but the eyes find the eyes ;)

[sayrith]

They always wear a suit and tie lol. awesome. class.

[brynntaylorleslie]

The chords remind me of the stroke first album

[RockFreak67]

@brynntaylorleslie YES. the strokes <3

[toxic92lmao]

@RockFreak67 are these guys dead?

[MadameLil]

@toxic92lmao  Nope.

[fuktehpolice]

@brynntaylorleslie

STROKES STROKES STROKES. good comment man.

[dan11009]

@brynntaylorleslie - wow youve ruined this band for me.... i just realised how much it reminds me of the strokes... i never noticed it until i read your comment : (

[gogolplex74]

@brynntaylorleslie but they're better

[Anglaiserocker13]

This vid looks so 80s lol I would never have believed it was from 05! =P

+ Alex Kapranos looks awesome in uniform- he could pull anything off!

[HikaruHotachiin]

this is the first song i heard from FF, its soo cool

[T64MR]

@0Cazador hahaha...maybe

[SmooshCakes]

I wish my dance skills where half as good as Franz Ferdinand's. Then maybe I'd get some action. Love this song!

[undersquirl]

i LOVE the lyrics!!!! great great song!

[T64MR]

WOW...a whole 38 people missed the like button

[0Cazador]

They must have thought there were 2 like buttons :P

[hanblum]

I like this song a lot, but I honestly don't get it at all.

[rajifusama]

their music is distinct

[DelphinusMAch1]

In one of the few cases in modern times of a popular band being good, Franz Ferdinand destroys the slew of irrelevant pop music with their unique brand of pop-rock.
