One of my favourite songs, and albums, of the year. Way better than anything any of these plebs listen to, probably Drake or Lil Wayne or something pussy like that lol. real gangsta niggaz listen to Battles son
This is like one of those old MTV videos, where it was more about the look and feel of the song, which was expressed through aesthetic video. And... honestly, nobody would have given this song a shot if it wasn't for the video.
Get it free while we still can! iPhone app "app trailers" enter bonus code "highfive" for free points towards iTunes or other gift cards!" seriously no joke!!!
They don't like this because it's not "hott emo" boys screaming their heads off at nothing or electronic voices singing about sex and drugs and shootin up homeboys.
I love how so many other people dont like battles....since most people are dumb, that lets me know the more people dislike it, the more I LOVE IT!....BEST NEW MUSIC TODAY!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm sorry but this is genuinely one of those time when it's not even funny to troll by saying this is art. Because even exploiting this for laughs is sad. It's just that bad.
@JellyFish0fDoom The one shot of the girl zipping her jeans up from behind at 0.39. They've zoomed in so you can't see, becuz some (probably one) people are really, really, really, really pathetic and uptight. That's. It.
@Cwhitfield15 Unless there's some curse in the lyrics somewhere that I'm missing the only differences are you see a tiny bit of butt crack and a little more of the girl at the very beginning (though not any nipple as far as I can tell) in the "dirty" version.
Great song, but: The video is pure art. Really nice game of opposites (balloon/cactus) and simularities (cake/pizza). Nearly every shot is a winner. Really excellent use of shot blending. I bet they tested the paint sequence as well. It's perfect.
Keith Schofield: meet the new kids.
Michel Gondry: shoot your editor and hire a storyboarder
Youtube made a mistake in letting Battles curate for a day. I don't mind if people don't like the song (I love the band, the song, and the video), I'd just rather that youtube not just bait all these people into hating on it. It's a weird video, yes, but I've seen worse. Why did Battles get special attention? Why highlight an obviously not accessible band? Why youtube? WHY!?
Battles performed on Jimmy Fallon two nights ago, AWESOME performance of futura, check it out!!! ?uestlove tweeted that he was very impressed by John Stanier
In case you were wondering, half of the lyrics (The ones I understand anyway) are in spanish. "Como un helado derritiendose" = "Like an ice cream melting"
This is another reason why the the world is dirty!! Not to mention it's people like you who give off the idea that women are an item or at toy! Shame on you! SHAME!
People say this video is weird or stupid or annoying or whatever, but isn't that kind of the point? I thought this video was abstract, fun, and original. It really kept me guessing. I would truly consider it a piece of art. Liked it.
Worst video ever... The whole time I kept saying to myself- this cannot get any flipping weirder and the next second, some chic is licking a pine cone!!!!! And the song isn't even good... Just really annoying.
The video was awesome so different and creative like when the person jumped off the cliff but they made it look like they were jumping into the girls bikini. Very visually appealing and that's the whole point.
This is the first time I've heard of Battles, and when I originally listened to this I was confused. But I kind of get it now.
These guys are experimenting with music and making some really cool stuff, if you don't like it, you don't have to listen.
As for the video, I think it's mostly just highlighting how different men and women are by showing contrasting things to stand for the different sexes. Balloon/cactus, high heels/slippers, pizza/cake. As for the ice cream... I have no fucking idea.
Director said in an interview, they wasted a lot of film waiting for the dog at the end to sniff the bananas. Would anyone know what kind of film they used? Thanks.
I hate it when people do this, and I'm sorry if this annoys you, but when you're fifteen and trying to become a musician/songwriter, your options are kind of limited. Maybe my music and I are worth something. So, even though I'm kind of, ok, totally being a spammer right now, please give me a chance. Please, click on my name and check out my songs. Or not. No pressure. Cheers!
