  • working out the beat of this song is like trying to find out why i live in a cave with internet connection

  • SO so so so glad they re made this video. I remember seeing this before i know who they were and was so unimpressed with the video i didn't give the song a chance - not fair to base music off a video but when your flicking around music channels it is quite significant.

  • Not bad the groove.

  • Roloooooooon!

  • never get fed up of this song

  • this video never ceases to amaze and humble me :')

  • i just like to post comments weeks after the last one!

  • their performance at reading was amazzing! one of the most energetic shows at the festival

  • Lucifer you're landing Cross-hairs on the kitchen sink Barb-wire in the bathroom I can't make new memories since Flashbacks to the time this shell-shocked apartment was the place i met with your boy it's a mortal thing, yeah it's a mortal thing oh! he looked at me funny and a oh! oh! think our secret's out and a oh-ooh-oh i try to explain but then munitions rain, and we're the epicentre It's like I'm watching the A4 paper taking over the guillotine,

  • i love this song soo much:D

    

  • Amazing what an appearance in a popular film and a fantastic Reading + Leeds performance can do for a song.

  • @ApolloNaught in which film did that MYKZURBF apprear? if i may ask

  • @hp13chemistry The Grum remix was briefly heard in the Inbetweeners Movie.

  • Anyone else hear the remix of this in The Inbetweeners Movie?

  • @WithLoveFromEmma yess!!!!!!!! didnt expect that lol

    

  • @WithLoveFromEmma

    I was practically singing along in the cinema, anoying everyone

  • @WithLoveFromEmma

    Yes! I was v. excited.

  • id like to see someone make a lyric video for this :P

  • it's just a big flurry of sound to me, which shouldn't make sense...yet, it does. yum.

  • It is alright

  • I use to hate his voice, now i give it the upmost praise!

  • Thinking it sounds like super furry animals...

  • Saw them at Glastonbury and they rocked it...total respect...remind me of Devo

  • Really good song, really bad video.

  • ahh such a good song..

  • This is brilliant!

  • They have made the finest LP of the 21st century. Man Alive is a stone-cold masterpiece. They are the greatest band playing right now.

  • @RBIKO5 I am in total agreement - a work of near genius!!

  • Comment removed

  • I think this is a pretty okay song, but that description is a tad ... subjective, isn't it? It's not challenging. There's plenty of bands that do exactly what this band does. I can name plenty. Plenty of bands have it together musically and composition-wise and break just as many indie rock conventions as this band claims to. They don't really.

  • love the song shit vid lol

  • Cool, this song is for wake up!!

  • i love this tune... stoner pop!?!

  • good single but the album is half-baked unfortunately

  • Comment removed

  • Man, the phrasing he emphasizes with his vocals in the bridge before the chorus. Amazes me every time.

  • saw them tonight - blew my nuts off.

  • @kirstymckie I'd sue!

  • I saw them last night before hearing their music and gosh was I impressed. This song is legendary! Part 80's part indie <3

  • YO HIPSTER. I'm going to explain something to you now:

    Fuck off.

    This song is good! Its like a post-punk revival these days. These, smtih-westerns ettc.

  • going to see these tomorrow on the NME tour <3 safe to say I'm buzzing :')

  • and i want to know what happened to ur boyyyfriend cuz he was looking at me like whhhhhooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this song is heavy!

  • this song is heeavy

  • why do amazing songs like these only get 200,000 hits on youtube, but bullshit mainstream music gets 100,000,000 hits, completely wrong :\

  • @BommyBum13 cause its shit

  • @BommyBum13 If this video had 100,000,000 hits you wouldn't think it was cool anymore. I am so tired of wannabe hippies always complaining about American culture today and boasting about how unique their taste in music is.

  • @tubeuify when did i once mention the 'American Culture' , i agree maybe i wouldn't like it if it did, but this song is better than 'Justin Bieber' crap, i think you're arrogant and have got the wrong end of the stick on the way music truly is now-a-days.

  • @BommyBum13 you just agreed that you wouldn't like the song if it had loads of hits? so you're saying you choose what songs you like based on how many other people like them? pretty pathetic! x

  • @gilesey11 Yeah i wouldn't, i agreed, apart of being different from other people is to like different music. But it is hardly pathetic that i would choose songs based on popularity, it just shows that i have different prerogative to other people.

  • @BommyBum13 but you said you liked the song and that it was amazing? your own words!!! it's the same song regardless of how many people have listened to it so you can't just say that you don't like it anymore when before people listened to it you said it was amazing.

    you have unresolved childhood issues that lead you to have to be different from everyone else. and it is incredibly pathetic. if you like something, you like it. you are clearly hitler, hating gays whilst pretending he wasn't gay.

  • Every other time when I think pop music is completely dead, fallen prey to the J-Lo bling bling black eyed peas autotune (where did it start, N.E.R.D?), there comes a band restoring my belief that well crafted, musically intelligent, instrumentally swift, lyrically smart, soul moving music can actually be popular, albeit moderately.

    Thank you so much!

  • They remind me of early 'Hot Hot Heat' Pretty awesome anyway.

  • cool original music nice1

  • I cannot understand wtf hes singing about load of bollocks

  • Orgasmic music.

  • this is so different. i really love it.

  • seem them live pretty bad

  • So Underrated!

  • This is some inspired music, it sounds like space-pop, I especially love the jazzy sounding pre-chorus.

  • love this (:

  • usually a grime/hip hop/garage fan but this is such a good song!

  • Brill

  • The band's acting skills are so terrible, it's one of the reasons this is so funny. Rofl I love you guys.

  • I just love this song and video, cannot stop playing it!

  • If you listen closely you can clearly hear a whole lot of Celine Dion actuallly

  • When this song came on at the party last night, we all went ballistic.

  • a grind of Justice as well

  • I HATE THE NEW ONE IN COMPARISON TO THIS GOLD!!!!!

  • NME Award Tour Feb 2011 <3

  • i heard this on the radio the other day, so glad I've finally tracked it down!

  • so....what is sxsw?

  • @cenrockon01 south by southwest. It's a festival in america, early in the year. A great indicator of bands that will be big throughout the year.

  • @000jupiter000 america?!?!?!? what! well okay. and...thats awesome! sounds very cool.

  • time to download their album after this!

  • I feel that it's a normal reaction to have an erection after listening to this song.

  • Are they the English equivalent of Kalnoky's brilliance? Signs point to yes...

  • listened/watched this 3 times in a row, is that strange? love it!

  • this song is a bacon and crispy duck orgy

  • Loop !!!!

  • fucking weirdoes and their weird fucking shit weirdie music videos. this song is brilliant.

  • This band will infuriate many and pleasure many more.A sign of greatness. Composition-wise, a pop version of The Fall. Magnificent!

  • does anyone know what the lyrics to this song mean?they are mad!

  • I like this a lot!

  • one of the best songs of the year!!!!

  • @TheYTtelescope Same here. It sounds different and fresh compared with most stuff.

  • gr8 song! listened to it for the 1st time 2day and if i am ryt, there are unpublished sounds in the chorus. A song to feel in the future! Of course remember MGMT, Mika and EOTS styles. EE gr8 new!

  • This music is so trippy. Its the only way to decribe it.

  • A, "Faraday cage". They probably did well at school.

  • what a nice discription! makes this song even more unique.

  • wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­h

    everlong electric picnic 2010

  • I think his voice is the best thing in this song :) <3

  • nice chords, nice breaks, nice vocals, very nice atmosphere. great song.

  • I got a bit of Futureheads in the vocals, a bit of Tears for Fears in the Keyboards, small touch of Talking Heads in the subtle backing guitars and a whole lot of erection in my Penis.

  • @ReallyBloodyGood calm down fella

  • @ReallyBloodyGood Totally! tears for fears in the vocals, tho. Final form is the song that really defines them. Incredible lyrics and execution. all the best artists are english lately. squarepusher, portishead, winehouse etc.....

  • thats some serious bass playing! nice to hear from a new band!

  • the new video is crap

  • AbFaB!

  • i like totally love this i want it like on my ipod but i cant find it anywhere! help?

  • @hansen3375 Sorry? You can't find it? Howabout iTunes, or Amazon ... or a host of other places? Oh, you mean you want it for free? Can't help you there ...

  • @IncaRoad01 Hey asshat, maybe this person is in the US where it isn't released yet. 0r in any other country outside of the UK. How low rent can you be?

  • @menyc You sir, are a fool

  • @hansen3375 youtube convert it moron!

  • Such a feel-good tune <3

  • I am not allowed by U tube to comment ont on anything at all. I actually like your album, although the vocals got on my nerves after a while. Hint- instruments can make music too!

  • Thanks to my favourite band Keane for introducing me to these i've seen them live too cause of them :P

  • funexnm.............to continue............."meets gentle giant, meets new order, meets wham, meets the police, meets blondie, meets japan, meets talk talk, meets super fury animals, meets eno"....and etc....at some point, after exhausting the seemingly endless comparisons and compartmentalization of their sound, they inevitably & very simply, sound really good & surprisingly unique.

  • @jpstrachan they really are everything everything

  • @jpstrachan now your just being silly my comments actually reflect the music and you can pickout the comparasons i not slagging them off there are great and they have taken there muisc knowledge and what they have grown up listening too mixed it up and added a bit of there own ingredence. if you cant see where im coming from i'll be quite willing to post the artists ive mention and songs to section of the song which ive compared then you'llproberly understand my comment.

  • @funexnm - your english in that is just appaling, lets hope u were rushing :D

  • how can you say that when the drums and keys come in at 30 sec very simply red !! then at 40 secs chillies get educated !!

  • The guy singing reminds me of perez hilton for some odd reason..

    oh wait, that doesn't matter.

    THIS SONG IS BRILLIANT.

  • great song, kinda reminds me of a modern level 42. great bass riffs, and mike lindup style vocals... love level 42

  • grum remix

    

  • lots of xtc, lots of thomas dolby, shades of blue nile, and a bit of level 42. What's not to like?

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent.

  • last act we saw at leeds,was totally amazing live.love them!

  • great sound, horrible vocals, real shame

  • @JoeyJoeJoeJunior22

    are you some sort of jusitin bieber listening fool?

  • Really great - same buzz/sudden rush I got when I first heard the Associates, back in the 70s. I have not had that buzz for years.

  • There guys are musically talented unlike a lot of other bands out there at the moment.... fair play

  • @jayj2003 yea they are talented but there are others check out the dutch uncles,these new puritains

  • These guys are musically talented unlike a lot of other bands out there at the moment, fair play

  • Saw this band on Jools Holland the other day. Never heard of them before, but they are very talented. They remind me of the band "Police" (not that I'm old - I'm 29!). I can't stop listening to this track, although I'm not sure what the lyrics are all about!?

  • @pdubzz1 As I understand it, its about a guy who lets himself into his girlfriends flat and then finds her other boyfriend, theres a fight, and the boyfriend gets killed. Like you, saw them on Jools Holland and I guess I've listened 20 times since and am awaiting delivery of the album. Top band. Just out of interest, type in the 'My Keys your boyfriend - drum cover' into and watch in total awe !

  • @katiepop543210 man, my analytical skills are awful! There I was thinking it was about nuclear war! Thanks for the heads-up. And I'll have a look at the intro and let u know my verdict. I ended up downloading this tune. Whats the album (man alive I think?) like?

  • chilley peppers meets jimiriquai meets simple red meets queen great track

  • @funexnm You spelt Queen correctly, at least!

  • @funexnm Simply Red? Are you sick or something?

  • @funexnm No point in trying to compare something that is UNIQUE

  • @funexnm he's not being silly, you could go to any band and break up their songs and match each part to another band, the variety of sounds in one song goes to show their unique not an amalgamation of other bands sounds, they've added in far more than just "a bit of their own" (what the hell is "ingredence" its not even a word)

  • @funexnm XTC apparently :S

  • @funexnm Maxiimo Park meets Empire of the Sun but then Empire of the Sun sleeps with the Chilis and nobody can tell who's baby it is.

  • don't want to sound gay, but seriously... 4 people need their heads looking at!!! this is genius music!

  • For anyone saying it sounds like the 80s, I find myself being reminded of Human League.

  • @Lippy totally agree, there are a number of 80s echos here.

    And, I'm of the same generation as your mum..so I'm hearing a lot of that in this song.

    But then, if the Scissor Sisters can do almost an entire album of that sort of stuff, then why not?

    ;O)

    There's a few jazz moments here to and I like the speed of the lyrics and thought they did a great job of this on Jools Holland this evening.

  • saw them at leeds! true hero's :)

  • "pu pu poi"

  • i loved this song from the moment i heard it, instant tune to add to my collection :D

  • love this song!

  • this song is so addictive, lyrics are stuck in my head!

  • 4 people thought the dislike bar said dis-i-like :)

  • brilliant check out the reading session 

  • Pitchfork sucks!!

  • Genious!

  • i can't stop singing this song

  • This is an awesome song but over produced. I've heard this live and it sucks massive donkey schlong. It's a shame really, like I said, it's a brilliant stroke of creativity.

  • @clickradiouk it sonds amazing stripped back acoustically live you poon

  • Oh so in love with this

  • WHAT!!??

    I dont listen to the radio anymore but I saw this on the reading n leeds footage last night and had to watch it again to get the name, because I couldnt get that chorus out of my head! If they carry on like this these guys are destined for great things!

  • @FRIENDLYMEXICANBOY you should listen to bbc 6 music

  • WElll good

  • this is the first time in a long time that i've anticipated the release of an album. Everything Everything is EVERYTHING that i want to listen to! nice job kids!

  • truly great

  • It's just AMAZING!!

  • Truly the most appalling vocals imaginable. I had to see it to believe it after hearing this incredibly irritating song on the radio. How on earth can this helium influenced lobotomy be misconstrued as pleasing on the ear. I cannot remember a more annoying band since Shampoo or Busted. Is this what music has come to? Awful!!!
