Bell X1 - The Great Defector

[181sebastian]

MINT SONG!

[OhDannyBoyThePipes]

Actually it wasn't the Farmer's Daughter it was the Farmer's Daughter-in-Law, he was in fact more of a rancher than a farmer, and actually Lenny never said that exact line. If we are being pedantic that is.

[TheAlistairDick]

Is this Talking Heads ? A complete rip off

[LaurieBorner]

@TheAlistairDick i really thought when i first heard these guys that it was a talking heads song .. just saying

[CJReviewz]

lol you wrote in the video uploaded by housefreak 1908 but your name is housefreak 9108 :)

[therbnt1]

Like if your listening to this in 2011!!



[Makarena12345678]

[StrangeYetRandom]

:O just realised the Of Mice and Men reference ;'(

[iamlukemcardle]

Would agree with the experiences of hers. I heard this song on the radio and just went , jees, Talking Heads really knew how to knock out a song. Great tune, but one of many Bell X1 beauties. Whither Damien Rice.

[psychcrow]

Amazing song :-)

[elmowantweed]

any1notice that the uploader is 'housefreak9108' but on the video it says 'housefreak1908'.... anyway, love the band, love the song :)

[pascal30]

same here, thought i was hearing a Talking heads b-side, the similarities in voice and staccato style are striking

[IrishStudentVidz]

Your the chocolate at the end of my cornetto

[MegaFalloutAddict]

0:53 lets make a new world order

[cheaptrick091]

Are they talking about the novel "Of mice an Men" when they say "oh wont you tell us about those rabbits George"?

[lunasspecto]

@cheaptrick091 I don't doubt it. There's also a reference to the farmer's daughter who seduces Lenny in the novel.

[brainraker123]

@cheaptrick091 yes 

[wmznyc]

AWESOME SONG! NYC

[wmznyc]

AWESOME SONG! NYC

[elsiglo]

For some reason when he says; "Oh won't you tell us about those rabbits George" it reminds me of Chicken George from "Roots". Quality tune so it is.

[jsilke]

Yeah,,BellX1 are influenced by Talking Heads. Could be influenced by worse...no?

[LivengoodTodd]

When I heard this on the radio for the first time. I thought it was David Byrne. I had to look at the radio playlist to see who it was.

[jamespatrick15]

i just found out these guys are irish

[MrDrumnbass83]

ein richtig geiler "gute laune" song, :-) !

[tunegrl]

kinda lame, but i like it!

[green1ny]

This is soo unique....and to compare i would have to say paul simon is very influentual in this track.........

[lusoch]

how about David Byrnes its obvious. even the way he performs the song is like David Byrnes dance in Once in a Lifetime

[Notoriousss]

why do people feel a need to compare. these guys are from ireland and are out 25 years later.. they are a great band and this song is very unique. I duno why people cant enjoy the music instead of enjoying their opinions

[ian982]

shut up

[trollfinger]

It's just the influence is strong man, people will always compare bands, always. Oasis-Beatles ! Audioslave-Led Zepplin, TOOL-King Crimson. Just happens.

[clayleiby]

if you cant see the david byrne influece, you should go fuck yourself! p to the s, fuck yo couch too!

[jgruson]
