SPARKADIA: China (HD Official)

[conza1994]

is this australian?

[conza1994]

IDK why this song has very little views! Its a great song!

[hokeypokeypanda]

What is this tune in the chorus??! I'm sure i've heard it before in some 80's song or something

[the26thhour]

Nice to see a clip filmed around Melbourne

[huggies2388]

Anybody else hearing Baba O'Riley when the chorus starts???

[bledfrogs]

@huggies2388 yes well spotted

[Abrasive84]

Dear God, it's Mrs Krabappel!

[Ahmetino]

he sounds like Herbert the pervert singing off the family guy i really like his unique voice, its got a squeaky fart like sound to it, i'm not saying it in dissing way, its just really unique :)

[Mrclancy6969]

That egg had a dark yolk, bet it was free range.

[Ottomaister]

@Mrclancy6969

Video gets color graded / manipulated and in that process things change. It made the joke more richer in color. I doubt anyone had the foresight of getting really nice organic eggs or it did happen by chance of where they filmed.

[skatinguitars116]

the fuck are these guys on?

[brigittesydney]

This song moved me so much until i saw the clip. Kind of killed the depth of meaning in the lyric.

[lukedm5]

This song is great. I love how they have matched the guy in the suit with the old Saab.

[yodellikeyoumeanit09]

Good video but you definitely could have had more of that girl

[THESM1THS]

One of the best songs of 2011.

Alex reminds me of Mathesar, the leader of the Thermians from Galaxy Quest.

[Kieran494]

Thanks JJJ :)

[TheRedmist14]

next time im about to kiss an asian dude im just going to break an egg on his head instead

[augustus816]

Just as good as Mary.....

[stumbles62]

saw last night on JJJ presents...brilliant! Love JJJ and Sparkadia

[mortonmindbend]

cant get this song out of my head...very pet shop boys dont you think??

[vanderhund]

hmmm looks familiar.. anyone seen bombay by el guincho? STRAP ONS!!!!

[daniimatt170409]

When I searched for this song I ended up with "spa Asia" instead.

[thatsintercityrail4u]

heard on Adam Hills!

[jimbomil1]

This song is shite house. Just another meat and potatoes aussie band!!!!! And what are aussies good for? Good for being fucking racist. Not for being musos!

[skitskatskallywag]

@jimbomil1

First of all you can't even spell, so your opinions are worthless, the great thing about music is that everyone has there own tastes & likes. Time to grow up, your pathetic.

:P

[THESM1THS]

@skitskatskallywag their you're

[skitskatskallywag]

@THESM1THS ok u got me

@jimbomil1 is still a wank

[THESM1THS]

@skitskatskallywag agreed

[GOBBLERTLH]

There should be a LOVE button!!!

[TheBurninator15]

was not expecting an egg to the face

[drweth89]

have to say it but this band pisses me off...

[jsn883]

hahahahaha how good is that drummers mask @ 0:49

[jsn883]

they could have chosen a car with a taller roof ...

[SK4869]

Tonight Was First Time I Listen This Song on Radio and Fell in Love

With The Song, But The Video is Another Story (^_~)

[edwinstevens]

I like the song but the clip is poorly directed

[parcelmate]

When i first heard this song on the radio, i thought it was a chick singing.

[Carriesnow29]

love this song but have they not used Gyan, Wait (1989) intro...and which Who riff have they stolen??

[jimmiusmo]

@Carriesnow29 The Who - Baba O'riley

[TheAssaschan]

expecting more, These guys are gonna be not so good at Fat as Butter.

[calumnicol]

The Who called... They want their riff back

[filmmetoo]

@calumnicol I just got off the phone with them, they're done with it.

[97pigz97]

0:53 is like the funniest part hahahah

[ChristReallyExists]

I've been hearing this song on the radio quite often lately. Everytime I hear it I notice the similarity of Alexander Burnett's voice to that of Mick Hucknall in his Fairground single.

[AndreaTM1064]

I love it :)

[ElizabethSimons]

Gonna go crack an egg on an asian.

[kane966]

The Who called, they want their riff back

[TheKritiiC]

Does anyone else think this song is a little racist?

[MissDingo92]

@TheKritiiC its talking about the material china like what plates are made of

[OzPom96]

Is that Carey Mulligan?? I swear it was...

[mattisMooha]

woowooowoooooooowwoo

i love you <3

all homo

[criznittles]

Sparkadia "China" is featured on Indie/Rock Playlist: June (2011) theindierockplaylistdotcom

[PWD65]

Just awful...

[TheKanga7]

God damn it, this is one infectious song....and Aussie too. Brilliant!

[725672567256]

@TheKanga7 aussie? sweet!

[anitahobart]

@TheKanga7 This song is a massive rip off of The Who song "Baba O'Reilly"

[fawnication]

it's like the BEST of the 80's ;D

[dacruncho]

Awesome!!!

[Justinlalor1]

Great filmclip, such a great song!

[GettinFreshRS]

This song is amazing.

[ieatcrayons11]

oober song :)



[bionicbrainbutt]

Typical Aussie Legends!

[allstar19981998]

damn i really like the chorus of this song just the verses are crap. haha sorry.

[bionicbrainbutt]

@allstar19981998 no need to appologies, your just a dip shit

[volacious]

I BREAK VAGINA

[idiocity93]

favourite part in the video clip: 0:51

[kane966]

Stole The Who's riff, and added shitty lyrics to it....

[jlby100]

I LOVE this song...

[1BustedMyth]

I give in!, actually purchased the first album I have in years! and what a bargain

[bansia24]

Awesome.....

[ninebarrellsdown]

Amazing song! One thing though.....has anyone else noticed that the chorus chord progression is identical to 'you aint seen nothing yet'?.......

[issie009]

The photography in this clip is amazing.

[lienrodeo]

The WHO called they want their riff back

see ,teenage wasteland(baba oreilly) if you don't know

[tomzorzzzz]

@lienrodeo My heart truly bleeds for the music industry ^^

[muttboy34]

Fucking amazing song!

[ediepassion]

this is so 80s,,takes me back .

[MyBabyToto]

this song is beautiful.



[Dunniezippy]

THANK YOU tripple J for showing me this

[1BustedMyth]

Went to their show last night, FANTASTIC!, still comming down!

Absolutely brilliant

[Kuroneko2912]

Mmm eggs and creme.

[ChevyChase86]

@malmsteenrock Meredith Brooks sung Bitch not Alanis Morissette, anyways sparkadia kill it again and again

[cupidspace83]

weird filmclip but great song!

[fishkickable]

It's sounds like baba O'reilly by the Who in the chorus. Or at least that is what it reminds me of. This is such a good song.

[coolbrett]

Is this song VERY similar to an already existing song? Someone tell me what it is so I know I'm not crazy

[shorty123rox]

@coolbrett  to me it sounds similar to Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin

[malmsteenrock]

@coolbrett I do believe you are thinking of Bitch by Alanis Morissette. The chorus has the same chord progression and timing...

[princessofevil5164]

This is an amazing song and an amazing video xD

fantastic artistic video :)

[emmer84]

Love this :)

[TheDanLittle]

This is the best sparkadia song by faaar.

i love it! good job guys.

[iteeahh]

hahaha, amazing video! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

[RafaTomasAPS]

Can anyone explain me the meaning of the song (or simply the chorus)?

I seriously like the music and the video, but I can't understand what they mean with "She breaks like China".

[skateyc]

@RafaTomasAPS As in fine china, porcelain ceramics. Smashes when you drop it!

[RafaTomasAPS]

@skateyc Thanks man, I get it now ;)

[emmer84]

@RafaTomasAPS her emotions. She breaks down. You know like fine china breaks.

[RafaTomasAPS]

@emmer84 Thanks man, I get it now ;)

[RafaTomasAPS]

@emmer84 Thanks man, I get it now ;)

[RafaTomasAPS]

@emmer84 Thanks man, I get it now ;)

[djjiles]

Rips off MGMT - Time to pretend as well.

[hugeackman]

I LIKE SCREAMING THE LYRICS TO TEENAGE WASTELAND TO THIS.

I didn't mean to write in caps.

[fauce]

Music by The Who - Baba OReily. Video by El Guincho - Bombay.

[EYEmusique]

great song - another example of great '80s goth music coming through in great modern indie bands. meanwhile, sadly, modern "goths" are listening to the worst grumpy-electro music ever made ;)

[megsie93]

Awesome song

[UnitShandler]

I swear if you shaved his hair he would look like Billy Corgan! lol

[fee0hnaa]

having this on a sunny day in the car is perfect !

[peteluvsfood]

To everyone saying that this song stole chords and whatnot, basically every song uses very similiar chords.

just look up "4 chord song" by axis of awesome

[hugeackman]

@peteluvsfood no. this isn't 4 chords, this is a lift of the entire riff of teenage wasteland.

[whitestboyalive1]

Teenage Wasteland!!! (The Who's Baba O'Riley)

[rosebabe101]

as much as i like this song i hate how they stole the cord progression from the who

[gorillaguy69]

anyone notice the bassline from the chorus is like the same as "time to pretend" - mgmt?

[chemicalpos]

@gorillaguy69 It's from The Who - Teenage Wasteland.

[viridae]

@chemicalpos THe song is actually Called Baba O'reilly. Common misconception.

[foath1]

@gorillaguy69 To be fair the piano is The Who's Baba O'Reilly, it sounds like they have basically taken a few samples to create a fantastic song.

[foath1]

@gorillaguy69 I just noticed it the bassline also follows Baba O'Reilly too...

[gorillaguy69]

anyone notice the bassline is pretty much the same as "time to pretend" - mgmt ??

[poppleism]

1:27 his shoes are neatly lined up, aren't they?

[jimbomil1]

Freaky dude, you're such a wanker...Yes that song that you're on about is great, but it's such a simple progression that anyone could've stumbled across that...If you're attitude about music is like that you'll be saying everyone is copying. Pathetic mate.

[luceintheskys]

awesome song, loved it as soon as I heard it :)

[MissStevie2]

its cool because this song is on frostwire -_-

[cck1993]

great job on gordon st last night guys



[fhockstah]

so... this whole video is about people with odd fetishes... awesome. love the song too

[TheFruitCondition]

sah sah sah good live.

[ozzaJ]

this song is great.

i like the rhyming!

SHE BREAKS LIKE CHINA!

[youwillneverknow92]

his voice is amazing

[ozzaJ]

ROLOF! i mean it

AWESOME>

[CIickolas]

When I heard this song on the radio at work, I thought they were singing "The great vaginaaaah"!

[ogrimman]

@CIickolas she shaves her vaginnaaa

but nah this film clip is fucken wiered

[freakydude1100]

Chord Progression on the piano is a complete rip off of Babo O'Reilly

thats just sad

[DamnArms12345]

@freakydude1100 not as sad as your face

[freakydude1100]

@DamnArms12345

hahaha very nice very nice



[foath1]

Can anyone else hear The Who's Baba O'Reilly in this?

[foath1]

@foath1 My mistake "O'Riley."

[STAG162]

Great song, wierdest clip I think I've seen for a long while. Super-slow-mo cam's work a treat.

[gjones85]

Do you want to hear the new Album "The Great Impression" in full prior to it's release this Friday the 18th. The cool cat's from the Sparkadia camp have release it online to stream. Follow this links from Sparkadia's website

[jrjhoppo]

better than millions of peaches put in a can

[twobutters]

teenage wasteland...it's only teenage wasteland

[iheggis86]

WOW...umm...WTF did I just watch?... great song though

[haydenmack]

1:01, nipple

[MiSenigmatic]

these guys have the weirdest fetishes O_O

[mammothlogic]

this song is brilliant... deserving of an ISC shortlist.

[elmasrii12]

honestly, the song is good but the video is a little...........random

[knwdb]

I've been going 'round the house picking up random items, looking at the fine print, and singing "It's made in China!"

[Tuxedo12]

@knwdb Your point?

[1BustedMyth]

I love Women so much, but god dam they are difficult!

[slikazn]

When I see the word "fragile", there is a sudden voice in my head: "SHE BREAKS LIKE CHINAAAA"

[adamdimech]

This is a great song, but the chorus reminds me a lot of Gyan's 1989 hit "Wait".

[MrObjectivist]

@adamdimech thankyou. was doing my head in trying to find that song.

[1BustedMyth]

Incredible song, so unique

[XDLadyHydrangea]

1:50 ghost boxing

[Chrizzo111]

brilliant song!

[samuelson994]

a very ders derson!

[LeGreenGazelle]

Well the egg-in-the-face was certainly not what I was expecting out of that scene.

[idiocity93]

@LeGreenGazelle theyre like orgasming over it too

[TheYellowMondays]

kooky :)

[mrgoldfish16]

this video makes me feel wired ... i love the song though :D

[funkychickenization]

Well that was all a bit odd wasn't it :D Alex you crazy cat <3

[SuperfastGoose]

good song......... though cant help but hear  The Who - Baba O'Riley and Alanis Morissette - I'm A Bitch I'm A Lover

[Lutty182]

That bird with the baloons is hot!

[xOriginalxPx]

SHE BREAKS LIKE CHINAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[nathodog]

Awesome :D

[kenlewisau]

Loving this quirky and aesthetic piece of cinema, loving. Good song too.

[flypeterpan2012]

Love this song!! its soo good. pity the video isnt as good!!

[Sydneywilde87]

Welcome back to the power ballad. This is a CHOON!

[MsMunds]

this song is amazing

[lukewoodfield]

Very good!

[Renn2u]

yeah I love the song but the pink balloons are really a bit silly and juvenile - what they just wanted a chic in a bikini

And what was with the smashing of the eggs

The half serious half silly takes away from the song

It had so much more potential

[paulieiscoolie]

great song, but the video doesn't do it justice...
