  • thumbs up if rollitup dot org brought you here

  • gloves on hands

  • the start and chorus riff is a total phoenix rip off. i like this song a lot but hey just stating the obvious. the muted de-de dah-de dah-de dah-de-de dah-de.

  • Comment removed

  • Quick let's complain about a song and the singing because that will change the dedicated fans minds. Why are people such douche bags? Go troll your one dimensional world of music and grammar and keep your mind closed......

  • Very fresh!

  • yAH ths GuY iS dEf gaYY

    Fuk ths bnd

  • @yorunokurai Wrong! Oh, and by the way... "Fuk" YOU.

  • @yorunokurai Music has nothing to do with race/gender/sexuality , what matters is the good vibes you get from the sounds you hear , don't be judgmental and rude

    and btw this band rocks , they're so fresh sounding , I recently became a fan =D

  • About time I discovered this band!

  • I like, I like...

  • perfect music for a movie :) or for moments where you feel sad - makes you laugh definitely! :D

  • those are some hot muttonchops on the guy to the right

  • @FramerCid that's FREAKING BILL DOSS. Those muttonchops are my heroes.

  • I think this is my favorite video of all time. I'm pretty sure this isn't the "official" music video (maybe that's obvious), but I think it's better than most of the flashy stuff out there. One question. Who's the girl sitting next to the singer, and why is she only in the video for a few frames. She's gorgeous!

  • great video

  • LMFAO! The video is funny! I like the song xD

  • Amazing!!!

  • the guy to the right of the singer look slike lennon lol

  • really not my taste

  • @gellomate I respect you.

  • There singer looks like the singer from the black dahlia murder.

  • AWESOME! (:

  • omg his chops are real, i think i'm in love

  • The only reason he's bald is because of all the stress he has from creating AWESOME songs like these! :3

  • Just saw these guys at Turner Hall in downtwn Milwaukee Mon nite...what a fun show! Robert thanked me for coming to the show!...what a feel good show!!!

    Generationals opened up and sounded great , too.

  • awesome.

  • Nice ride guys!!!I really ejoy it!!Na*****

  • xDDDD i like it

  • they should make more videos like this! it's so perfect

  • wuuuuuuu

  • a little bit of chicago... but very different. they're good, i like this alternative upbeat style, they should make it a tad bit more accesible

  • chick seems hott, but she looks like she wants nothing too do with the w/ vid or them.. loll :)

  • hints of ELO

    I like it

  • So much ELO. It's great.

  • Quite catchy. Reminds me of that old Spice Girls video, filmed in one take. *wink*

  • what would voice pitch or sound have to do with being homosexual or not?

  • You are an ignorant person!

  • @yorunokurai

    have you ever heard of: castrati?

  • @yorunokurai um, more effeminate = like a girl. girls have higher pitched voices. while homosexuality does not necessarily mean effeminate, the gay community has a higher percentage of effeminate males than the straight community. is this news?

  • @yorunokurai What ihs04 said. Not that it's a bad thing, but it true.

  • this video just proves why I love them.

  • I met a cute chick at Amoeba in Hollywood who told me about this yesterday. Thank you S. =)

  • Si pero por estar en una propaganda de pepsi no quiere decir que no puedan mostrar coca, ademas la botella ella no es de coca. Y tambien el comercial de pepsi fue echo mucho despues que este video

  • I find it funny their one song is in a Pepsi commercial and here the one has a coke bottle.

  • fuckin proper band styll

    (love the water bottle as a drum)

  • Heehee... Just Fanastic. :D

  • OMG love itt !

  • 1 year later.... still i love it!!

  • i love this song!!

  • i almost forgot about this song.

    i love it when that happens, you find a song you haven't heard in ages.

  • That's the best feeling. Especially when it's one that you listen to a million times when it came out, got a little tired of, stuck it in a drawer...

    And then years later, someone is playing that such-and-such song you haven't heard for years, and you feel all fuzzy, because you forgot how good it was...

  • haha! this is awesome.

  • one of my most favorite music videos.

  • wht a fuckin good MV!!!

  • lol nice

  • lets try to minimize the budget next time.

  • hahaha

  • when did that girl get in the car

  • I love this band....hi!!! from Peru

  • Fucking awesome :D

  • it look like she doin da robot wit em

  • who is that lady in tha car?

  • Homo? I don't know. Spaz? Yes.

  • I love this band !!! they're so good !!! But they're not know in France :(

    However, I love them !!!

  • It's like you wouldn't expect a beautiful person to be the ostracized geek in a movie because according to past experience that isn't totally believable. And also opera is not a very popular type of music now. Certainly not as popular as pop/rock and it certainly doesn't appeal to the great number of young people who are obsesseed with appearances.

  • *sigh* I was merely citing opera as an example where the person's physical appearance is generally held as secondary to their actual TALENT. and do you know WHY the young people are obsessed with appearance?.. BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNG!.. and inexperienced and don't know to judge beyond what they see, and the reason for the society of which you seem to speak fondly is because many of those people never mature beyond that state. I'm pretty much done with this.

  • People were less preoccupied with being good looking before the 20th century and the globalization of media and the ideal beauty. They were concerned with class and wealth more than anything. That is why most people don't care about good looking opera singers because there never was a standard to begin with and so people don't really consider it as a part of the experience in fact they expect a fat lardo just so it'll seem that much more authentic.

  • actually those days being heavy would have been viewed as attractive because you were viewed as wealthy... I recall a comic writer who talked about the executives going to exercise classes etc whereas in the old days the heads of companies were hugely obese (actually he used the phrase "spectacular tubs of lard" but I liked it so I stole it) who moved themselves from meeting to meeting in private railroad cars.

  • People can never admit that they would rather be with Justin Timberlake over this guy no matter how great his personality is because it makes them appear "shallow" and they wouldn't like to believe something so terrible about themselves even though that is what they would do in real life if they had the choice. The only reason all this personality trumps all bull shit even exist is because people want to appear moral in front of their peers.

  • And don't give the comfortable in his own skin bit because that is a load of shit and it certainly doesn't get you laid. If he could switch place with a better looking guy he would because unfortunately we live in a world where appearances are practically everything. He's lucky he has a decent voice otherwise he'd be George Costanza.

  • looks like they had some fun doin' this quick little vid.

  • jojo

  • cool

  • lol what queers

  • notice how its all done in one single recording. amazing.

  • cool

  • you just made three irrelevant points that didn't tie together in any way, shape or form. Maybe you're retarded and we're not?

  • They're probally just jealous considering that no one cares enough about them that they have to try to rant on a video...

  • this is an amazing music video! freaking awesome.

  • best clip ever :)

  • i saw these guys last night... they even played strawberryfire for me!!

  • lol ive been to park city

  • so funny

  • the guerilla robot move was awesome.

  • what?! ur rude. why dont you go lose some FUCKING weight!!

    people like you piss me off!

  • image conventions are for *mainstream* artists.

  • Oh so indie fans never judge people by the way they look? People are superficial regardless of how you choose to fool yourself. He's bald, short, a bad dresser, hairy, pudgy, has bad eye sight and lets be honest he probably sweats a lot and because of that he probably smells. I imagine he's frustrated over the fact that his bandmates keep getting the hot groupies while he may not be getting laid at all.

  • by goodness you're a bitter one, aren't you?. at least he's out there doing what he loves, which is more than can be said for most people, no matter how "pretty" their exterior.

  • Of course he's doing what he loves but that doesn't mean he doesn't wish he were "prettier." He's no doubt conscious of his physical unattractiveness. A lot more people would like him and his music if he were handsome; that is a sad fact and he knows this. You know as well as I do the excuses people make for the beautiful and how far an average voice goes if it's coming out of a pretty face indie or mainstream. I don't care how well he can sing he ain't winning no girl over a male model.

  • perhaps if she's a vapid airhead. if you base your like/dislike of an artist/group based on their attractiveness, well that's just pathetic. I can't stand when you ask some moron "why do you like britney spears" or some other crap.. and 9/10 the answer is "she's so hot" not "I love the music" or "she's so talented" . why do you think 90% of the opera singers throughout recorded history were spectacular tubs of lard and nobody cared?. BECAUSE THEY SOUNDED GOOD! which is what it should be about.

  • *sigh*.. unfortunately I realize that is not the way the "music" industry works... which is why I will sit here and happily enjoy "New Magnetic Wonder" while the easily pleased masses enjoy their latest generic interchangable pretty boy/girl flavour of the week.

  • I wouldn't call her a vapid airhead for liking someone for their looks it is just as legitimate as liking someone for their personality, physical attraction plays a big role in a relationship and we grow up in a society where beauty is prioritized so naturally people value it more. Don't tell me it's coincidence that the two most powerful women in TV according to Forbes are former super models or that beautiful people have more opportunities.

  • I'm calling "her" a vapid airhead for liking someone SOLELY because of their looks. physical attraction may lead a fling, but it is psychological attraction in concert with it that leads to a lasting relationship. but then if you're a good looking but vapid airhead in a relationship with another good looking but vapid airhead you'd never know anything was missing.

  • the guy on the right reminds me of nosfuratu a lil bit

  • a funny clip for a great song ! I love !!!

  • amazing

  • I really like this band, and yea, the singer has a very unique voice.

  • this guy has such a unique voice, its great

  • i heard this guy from the last year october 2007, i heard the song on Gap store every day where i work.

  • hahaha, same here, i work at gap as well =) i always youtube the songs at gap

  • i really like it;]

    never heard of them until now

    wow

  • haha!!  im impressed!

  • the lipsinking is so good

  • lol there singing it you retard

  • i know

    im just bad at sarcasm

  • THEY'RE not "singing" this. They are lipsinking. The voice quality would be horrible if they recorded it from their car. YOU'RE retarded

  • Nah you the retard lol

  • my point exactly

  • Very Lo-Fi, Very cool

  • It scared me when the guy driving was dancing

  • sunndal song is better

  • This is the only song I have listened to by them that I like.

    Any suggestions to some that sound like this?

    Message me please!

  • you should listen to energy:D

  • I was never sure if i liked this band but i am sure i do now

  • fuuun :D

  • My God. Talk about ageing rock stars!!

  • Rob Schneider's not that old. he's only 37. not only is he cursed w/ the whiteguy early balding gene, he's got the same name as everyone's favorite gigolo.

  • but the best aspect of this song is the fact that it isnt ELO. cant argue with that. :P

  • I like these kinds of song, its not heavy and it has a nice feel good tone to it.

  • This song is a huge reference to the Electric Light Orchestra, the piano intro sounds like "Evil Woman" and the use of the vocoder is pure ELO.

  • first time i heard this ELO popped out....i think its the high pitched synthesized background voices that do it for me

  • Funny video I like the goofiness and the girl freaking out next to the lead singer and its filmed in a car

    5 stars

  • ubentu, not pitch correction, its a vocoder.

  • best singer...and I think he uses pitch correction

  • Jeff Lynne would probably sue these guys if only he'd written anything catchier than this--ha! great band--

  • god i love these guys... i don't know any of their names besides Robert Schneider, but the guy to his left is HAWT. I'm so gonna try and dress like him now.

  • can u put on "stay gold"????

    thanks 4 these too tho

    <3

  • Good song, gooood song.

  • you guys are pimp

  • good stuff!

  • cheap video, but I love it

  • Is a good song. Very upbeat. Yet I object to the egregious use of "hilarious" as a desciptive. It's funny - but, Sir, it is not hilarious.

  • The best part of this video is at 2:48 when the woman next to Rob looks SO annoyed at their robot dancing. Amazing.

  • I love these guys and this song!

  • I want to have Joanie's baby!

  • this sounds an awful lot like that Phoenix song "too young".

  • do these guys sound like the beatles to anybody else. I'm not complaining, they're great.

  • yes!! they really do, especially in "energy" when rob goes "it's gonna be alrighhht"..totally. not complaining either though, they're awesome.

  • yes they do!

  • piano sounds more like todd rundgren to me. ok, elo guitar or whatever that was.

  • this video is so wonderfully lo fi

  • haha yeah more than just an ELO "influence", the intro piano is basically Evil Woman

  • jesus christ, son of a son of a..... its just to good, make it stop i cant stop listening to this album, but i guess its just the same ol drag!!!!

  • At least Jeff Lynne could write a hook.

    Is Muammar Qadaffi driving?

  • haha, this was awesome and that song is amazing.

  • haha.

  • i dont know any girls that sound like this...

  • Love the song!

    You can definitely see the ELO influence =]

  • Música sensacional!!!!

  • doss is the shit

  • This band is happiness in complete audible form.

  • The best song these tired ears have heard in a while- a
