[genowhirl]

[genowhirl]

"i made this" -x-files kid

[genowhirl]

so many jeffs everywhur

[genowhirl]

smart people IS the reason it works so great. you can't do this. you can't fight the future. monkey assed dumb problem peoples. you IS controlling freaks. it Are what it ARE.

[genowhirl]

Ahhhhhh agent smithsss

[genowhirl]

[nothingtotype2011]

This is prolly the scariest music video ive ever watched

[MrSebartley]

ur all fkin gay.

[defjamcool]

ALI VS TYSON!!!

[MrMosstin]

At first, I didn't really like intimacy, but having listened to it again, my musical taste has reached new horizons, and I love all the works of bloc party, as well as kele's solo work! Can't wait for their next album expected in the coming months!

[judopathoftruth]

ALI V TYSON

[Oneofthedawnchorus]

Right now im not sure i like this song, but im sure that i'll come back to listen to it again...

[GeorgSpieler]

Just place the head of George W. Bush on the Calf..........

[briekjens]

those monkeys are scaring me

[nxtlvl87]

Badboy tune and a drug influenced video wot more do u want?

[suivatra123]

i dont understand the video

[MartianDiscoFish]

@suivatra123 A group of super intelligent apes attempt to obtain the world's banana supply by creating a hybrid bull/lobster man to become the president of america and take over the world with nuclear arms...What's not to get?

[MrChickenflubber]

Thumbs up if your watching this in 2011!! ;D

[lepreon]

AWESOME!!!

[shaoimba]

o hai. anyone saw the video ?

[ralibenja]

(\__/)

(O_o)

[Mr2012isComing]

It kicks in hair on arms begin to rise i love this

truly

[FriendKerrek]

Smith went to Scranton, PA...HE MUST BE THE SCRANTON STRANGLER!

[ShuklaInToonTown]

This is how Bush won the 2000 election(which, if I may point out, took place during mercury retrograde)

[TheBlaze501]

I like the ulterior ideas behind this video.

[littlemisshowei]

I like the hidden message behind that song. Nowadays, politicians are either marionettes or stupid power hungry monkeys.

[Jons2punkt0]

the monkeys remind me of kele

[StokeCityFC44]

@Jons2punkt0 fuck of

[ClairePeaston]

OMG I have never watched the video to this before, I don't think I was missing out, lol. Amazing song though :D

[TheRozza333]

this reminds me of fight night round 4... it was always my entrance music

[fearthetapir]

i don't get it why people complain about the changing sound of bloc party

i personally love it! every album sounds different. To me it shows that they didn't wanted to stay how they were but improve. and i think that is a good thing

[Jayyuk001]

ahhhhhhhhh they created Slaanesh!!!!!!!!!

[Joshua11210]

bloc party rules they were even in

SSX tour

Burnout:revenge

BUt especially people who love rock!

[Nubzpwnage]

This video is awezome

[xmosco80x]

I'd smash both those chicks at the end

[TheCrashnebula]

One of the strangest music videos i have ever seen. Well done Bloc Party!

[virx89]

...how the world leaders are created and who they really serve....

[RastaProductionsDe]

i have to watch this ever day! because the song is absolutly cool! and the video is absoluty best!

[mayer8356]

This is one of my favourite Bloc Party tracks and quite frankly, I don't have the time for the bloated opinions of any self-proclaimed Indie purists.

[luciusfargo]

@mayer8356 How embarrassing for you

[TheDJFLIPP]

Damn that drops a b-line.

[MrTrinklied]

Unequivocally one of the worst indie singles ever

[mchiggy19]

thats cos it aint a indie track a u show u no who bloc party are cos they dont do one genre music like most of the shit out there

[strawberrycloud1]

not one of their best songs

[slushieman99]

am i high

[RastaProductionsDe]

haha BEST

[blakininja007]

i saw two of those lobster crab cow bison rhino monkey human hybrid things mating in my backyard

[RPGG33K]

This used to give me nightmares o,O

[judopathoftruth]

FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 4!

YEA I SAID IT!!!

ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIII V TYYSSSSSONNNN

[Crazyape1819]

beast song.

[so0pafly13]

memecury..!!!!

[liavch1]

it's about obama?

[limestone99]

59 people voted for smith

[VivaLaMente]

What the frak just happened... Evil bull lobsters named smith will one day have hybrid babies and kill brazil for bananas? WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?

Mind Freaked.

[Madzookeeper]

MINNDDDD FUUUUUCK. Love it.

[DasZocker0815]

This is so really scary shit!

Great!

[MegaNicholas87]

great song!

[GsGosti]

just a nice musical line, know what i mean? love it

[TheRunescape0001]

this vid is fucked ???

[almighty0beans]

@3:26 the monkeys trippin on bananas

[adamgergich96]

this video scares me..

[TheCrashnebula]

thanks fifa and midnight club...

[TheMrbollox]

complete shit, what a joke this band is. Like a poor mans franz ferdinand that the press likes because the frontman is black and articulate.

[toontownrandomer]

@TheMrbollox bloc party s great i gre up in 2007 i used ta listen to dem all da time and i sstill do go say some other band is crap like the mr bollox band which is you

[AFlood009]

@toontownrandomer the only word i picked up from this was bollox :D

[amyystevenson]

@TheMrbollox They sound nothing like Franz Ferdinand? I don't even get how you can make that comparison.

[fingerpistolsuk]

Mercury rocks. I feel ashamed when Bloc Party "fans" complain about how they sound on Intimacy. Development/evolution within a bands sound is NOT a bad thing - The Beatles did it, The Stones did it, Radiohead, The Who, The White Stripes, Blur. Any band worth a mention did not stay the same all the way through-out their careers. If u agree and like bands who are forward thinking you should check us out. We're an electronic rock band from London who sound like no-one else - please have a listen.

[KryptoniteCondom93]

@fingerpistolsuk wow, you went from making a good point to shamelessly plugging your band-that's just low dude

[djsquiremacalp]

@fingerpistolsuk thumbs up until the self plug. i dont mind you advertising your band but you well tried to sneak that plug in haha!

[prafty]

@fingerpistolsuk so what? yes evolution and change is good but bloc party fucked it up. intimacy is awful

[RoryLyle]

@fingerpistolsuk Yes, I agree it's important for a band to develop, but only if what they're doing is to the same quality (or higher) of their previous work. To me, listening to this compared to a song like 'This Modern Love' or 'Like Eating Glass', this song is a lot worse.

[skatefanboy123]

I got a feeling that the monkeys created the cow so they can enter the white house because they couldnt do it by themselfs so they made a "key" to the problem. If you guys get what i mean:D this came up in my mind when the monkey closed the door at the end with a kinda smiley face. He might think-----> oo yes we have gotten to the main "control room" after all. by the way awesome song:)

[Thurbane316]

This should have been a bigger hit than it was.

[Broervan]

@Thurbane316 You like(d) it right? That should be enough

[Thurbane316]

@Broervan Well yeah, but sometimes it just surprises that some really good music doesn't make it big, but a lot of drek does.

[daguru324]

@Thurbane316 -- drek, I like the sound of that word, what does it mean exactly?

[Thurbane316]

@daguru324 Drek = crap, basically...

[Mystery13Cat]

@Thurbane316

Bad/good that was but now they are a little secret shared by people of good taste.

[myselfcrypt]

@Thurbane316 Blud are you dumb?! there shit ive never even herd of them just stumbled upon this video!

[Thurbane316]

@myselfcrypt English as a second language?

[myselfcrypt]

@Thurbane316 Naaaa, i am English.

[Thurbane316]

@myselfcrypt Oh my...I'm afraid your educational system has failed you. Badly.

[mrgmakin]

I like it when Bloc Party gets heavy. I like it a lot.

[edwardrodriguezlives]

Kele from Bloc Party is playing for free in london, july 17 2010. thought you would be interested, look at thecreatorsproject[dot]com if you keen full details are there

[judopathoftruth]

Fight night round 4

[TheMrbollox]

Banana!!! O.o lol love this vid

[stillcovalent]

1000th like

[Ruqtobonien]

amusing

[FightNightRound4King]

Has a nice unique video. Nice interperetation of politics when Bush was in office.

[samdaftpunk]

bloc party ftw, the drums are so agressive in this song :P

[DiscoGirl80s]

The political system......

[stupidyogi]

oh may gawd! this bloc party?! all my life i thought its a chemical brothers or fat boy slim! gawd! im so innocent and stupid haha!

[ashleylovesyou51097]

nice song!

[heyscenestersheyhey]

what did i just watch!

[toomuchkleenex]

idg why a lot of people don't like this song, there was a time i was absolutely obsessed with it... and still it's one of my favourite songs from them

[leisurelydinner]

crap song, bloc party have done nothing good since silent alarm

[eins2001]

@leisurelydinner that's YOUR opinion. I freaking LOVE Intimacy.

[ForgottenSoul700]

@leisurelydinner, Bloc Party can do no wrong with me. They are a talented bunch but I agree make a new "Banquet."

I think since Kele's outing, their music has had this dance dance type of feel to it.

[petalsinthesnow2]

what a tune! love it!

[AlfonsHeintz]

Apes = Oil companies

Creature = Bush

Bananas = Oil

[justjulio123]

grindie?

[deathtrack15]

eeew poor choice for a first single. Talons is so much better.

[Tageintagaus]

My mercury's in retrograte

American Dream's in USA

A foreigner beast leaves his place where it is created, thinks it realizes its own dream, but turns out to be a tool for its creators.

It acts only to reach the aims the society demands to reach and is not in favour of its own interest.

[vidmuncher]

I think they were going for the whole "sad creation" theme...because from the lyrics you can tell the main singer's life is falling apart and he needs to make something of himself from what he has left. either way...WHAT THE FUCK??? MIND FUCK FOR REAL

[macwemyssTMO]

Man... Bloc Party went downhill since Silent Alarm... :(

[gingerspazmo]

just pure epicness

[samdaftpunk]

bloc party ftw

[cyj2213]

La mentablemente en el mundo somos todos. Iguales todos estamos llenos de malisia y compitiendo unos con los otros sin ponernos a pensar que si nos unimos el señor Dios lograra su objetivo la paz y el amor entre siudadanos Bush lo de las Torres jemelas no se ase si yo llegase a tener el poder que tu alguna vez tuvistes en tus manos te elimino sin pensarlo ni 1 vez Eso es todo paz para el MUNDO entero Dios tengan mucha fè que Dios aprecia que crean en el

[franki1990]

@cyj2213:

Viejo, aprende a escribir y desoués vienes a convertir gente.

[adamnoriginalname]

TUNE. that's all.

[MarbelTplayer]

awesome song

[m80cluster]

wtf.

[VWOWV]

This is a great song. It is totally true that mercury retrograde happens because astrologically from our perspective (earth's) the planet turns backward a time for people on earth to reflect and not start anything new - Great song guys!

[marcienator9]

i love this song . love this video!!

[mrblackhulk]

fight night round 4 yall niggas dont want it

[tashurov]

@mrblackhulk

can you sugest me some kind of those tipe music?

[MyValentineLetter]

Wow*

I just have to keep replaying this song all night!

I love it*

1:09 to 1:23 sounds really cool*

the song is pure awesomeness!

[skateangelnikki]

Her smile when she's holding the mutant baby at 2.06 creeps me out XD

[igormiguel]

Oh come one... Is everyone on this satanic freemason shit? At the begining he even puts a printed circut board inside the head representing a microchip and when it comes to life it's the fucking Baphomet. Great song great band nevertheless

[cameronischat]

I love the direction they went with this video and indeed the whole album. It showed such growth whilst staying true to their roots- its such a shame that they're on indefinite hiatus.

[VivaLaMente]

Okay... So I thought I understood the song... And I /think/ I understand the video, but the two of them together.... Not so much. WHY MUST BLOC PARTY BE SO... Err... METAPHORICAL !?!? ignore any spelling errors in that....

[CtrlCCtrlVx3]

[stopped video after one minute]

I don't want to ruin this song.

[wh0am1666]

@CtrlCCtrlVx3 lmao funny comment

[NPR150]

Though Plant of the Ape's all ready been done,

[kyucka]

this song is realisic, you m..; f...rs

[peccoz]

@yip345 most appropriate description of this album :)

[TheSoldierofPeace]

No, what makes you think that!?

[tashurov]

@deathtrack15

Its about america, oil company are the monkey, and the war they thid by the bull who when to be Bush.

[Endlessrape]

And that's how Planet Of The Apes came to be.

[ericbruckner88]

@FinallyDunn

youd think that but youd be wrong

2:15 - 2:27

if you listen closely in the background you can hear the sound of you making an idiot of yourself and me making an ass of myself for caring.

[PRickJr2448]

Midnight Club Los Angeles!!!

[009TORRESLFC]

BLOC PARTY!!!

[bloodyeye69]

you guys are awesome, i was wondering what this video meant and i was like...maybe i should check the comments. lol it makes more sense now.

[ericbruckner88]

@bloodyeye69

i could be wrong but notice the capitalized S and H in smith. maybe only i made this connection but buSH. the whole going to war over bananas thing and the fact that the creature went to Vale univ or whatever and G.W. Bush went to Yale, that ivy-league school. just some things i personally noticed. bloc party has always been a bit critical of the bush admin in previous songs

[RGen3]

@ericbruckner88  if you notice SMITH is all in capitals, I think youre reaching pal

[ericbruckner88]

no just the S and H are in caps.

[socrpimp1234]

Helicopter is my favorite example.

[stukahen]

i find this vid. . . creepy!

[pillzbe]

@stukahen totally son!!! i mean the song is dope but the video ruined it for me for sure... balls

[MyBleedingRoses19]

@pillzbe are you kidding? the video is so refreshingly different.

[derflad79]

Freddy Dal

[Philippeallnightlong]

so so scary... oO

[deepintoperspectives]

Planet of the apes and the Antichrist goes crazy over bananas. Me like. :)

[greendaykicksbut1231]

This band rocks live

[mwhewitt]

Definately taking the piss out of Bush. Bush went to Yale Uni, and the monster goes to Vale Uni. Coincidence? Don't think so. Also, he became a member of the 'skull and bones' secret society at Yale, whilst the monster joins the 'secret skeleton society'. Finally, Bush campaigned heavily in all the areas that the monster visits. Pretty concrete evidence.

[socrpimp1234]

helicopter is about bush as well, so there's no doubt in my head that this could be as well.

[MrFreesytler]

obama is not da anti- christ. cause he da 1st AA his da anti- christ. wat a bout nixion or bush? f'n rascist niggas

[charlotte01474]

i love this song i have to dance to it at school

[ollinohnson]

this song sounds like an orgasm while high, bloc party rocks.

[JakeAyala]

@ollinohnson while sober it sounds kind of like my ear drums are being electrocuted. I'm not sure if that's good or bad
