The Darkness-Growing On Me Music Video

[GamePat23]

omg ! THuMBs uP !!! if you think this video is a bit too little viewers

[randomtennisball]

Man, I loved this when it first came out. I can remember waiting obsessively for The Darkness to come to Australia but being too young to go to their shows and having to settle for watching the episode of 'Rage' they guest programmed.

[papapitufo2000]

Actually Justin once said that this song is about a girl you can´t touch beacues you are "afraid of the concecuences" in therms of getting your heart broken.

[brightlotus]

WHY DID JUSTIN HAVE TO RETIRE THE CAT SUITS?!? WHY?!?

[mike100635]

This song is about crabs

[MrIconoclasticIcon]

You know this song is about herpes..

[XkojiXXXnikaX]

Gotta love them cock shots. ;)

[WilzloMusic]

this makes me happy

[thevillageyid]

3:56...holy fuck that guitar part is sooo badass.

[darthfay]

anyone think this song is about genital warts? listen to it...

[PlayStationPwnsXbox]

@darthfay Despite rumours surrounding the song's meaning, lead singer Justin Hawkins has refuted suggestions that the lyrics pertain to pubic lice or sexually transmitted infections: "People have said it's about pubic lice, but that's obviously wrong because pubic lice don't grow on you, do they?" Hawkins has also commented on the song's true meaning: "A sweet lady woman that you will never fully fathom or understand, but you love her so much that after a while it doesn't matter."

[TwiZtiDHeArT666]

anyone else notice the pink skin tight suit 3:12 lol tre hot

[danikurniawan77]

Nice Band. Rock Never die. :D

[AllstarSniper32]

What is the point of the two random horses? Despite the rest of the video not really making any sense the two horses are really random, even more so than the intro.

[massterizzato]

@AllstarSniper32 the intro is in line with their first video!

[AllstarSniper32]

@massterizzato True, but that really doesn't mean it makes sense!

[hera1974]

Where do I go to stand in line for sex with Justin Hawkins? I assume there is a line.

[jackussbaby]

i love how justin and dan keep switching between lead and rythm guitar soooo amazing live

[6bpanorama]

is it just me or does he kinda sound like robert smith?

[tweedy127]

Love the guitar work in this

[Wankshaftsbury]

This is really growing on me

[ZeeChecks]

@Wankshaftsbury Ahaha I get it, yeah i get it ;D Joking lol



[hiemilylovee]

The epiphany when you realise this song is about gential herpes

[VideoGamePervert]

Most definitely one of the best guitar solos of all time!!!

[DrStoat]

Is this song about genital warts?

[TheMottSlutz]

@DrStoat lol, yeah. "Can't get you out of my hair" "You're really growing on me (Or am I growing on you)" "I can't have a life until you're dead"

[mljules]

what the f? lol

[CCubed1717]

Justin Hawkins: The physical manifestation of sex.

[thevillageyid]

Why did they lower the volume at the end? That guitar riff is fucking rad.

[ilovejamesandmoney]

Wow he looks like my dad, he looks great but It doesnt mean I needed to the overbite till 16 lol best song they did. THEY ARE GREAT

[cofpaddy]

The only band, 'back in the day' that were int he charts and didn't take themselves too seriously.

[420HisDudeness]

Youtube helps me find alot of great music xD TY!!

[WereThugs]

is that pterodactyl humping a plane?

[MouthlessBobcat]

@WereThugs NOPE Chuck Testa.

[shacoonONE]

awesome stuff... love those guys!!!

[storminapuddle]

One of the happiest day of my life! They comming to Dublin baby! Can't wait!

[patoblet]

I wish that final solo never ends

[Childrenofbodom7]

haven't heard them in years. but they really were a fucking good band.

[Sprayboy777]

lol he thinks hes so hot. every single video he has his shirt off in some suggestive pose.

but still, darkness is awesome!

[blarrrrgehh]

The chorus is the same progression as the verse from Dave Matthews Band "Crash Into Me" I'm not a huge fan of either but it works better distorted and constant picking.

[SuperTransistor]

I remember the guitar that comes from 'the water they gave to charity...

[DiabeticTom16]

My favorite song from Permission to land :).

[MrFreako2010]

Delightfully fucked up. Real rock breaks all the rules - even the ones the other rule-breakers made up.

[CainmosniMirrored]

@MrFreako2010 Too bad this isn't real rock.

[thevillageyid]

@CainmosniMirrored You're right, it's unreal rock.

[dman19851996]

Guitar shotgun 1:58

I'd like one of those

[MacSnowball]

THEY'RE FROM LOWERSTOFT! WHOOOOO

NORMALLY THAT'S NOT A GREAT THING BUT HERE SO, IT IS. WHOOOOO

[amistill1987ill]

I had forgotten how much i loved this band...shame on me

[kuzosama]

...lol is that dactyl humping the jet? :|

[belfastgypo]

Man - they're coming to my city in December. I must go!!

[jigalojim]

Greatest rock song of the last 20 years

[wickedglamour]

soooo, i listened to this song right after i watched Lord of the Rings, and now i can't not associate the two.......frodo and the one ring.....lol......someone should make a fanvid with the two.......=)

[xXhostkillaXx]

Is this song really about him having crabs?? xD

[igirisuXjin]

He loves being naked like a toddler man. >.>

[cfwbdude]

One of the best riffs out, my fave Darkness track.

[MrCarruana]

i like the sound....and the style

[beautifuleuphoria]

Lol he's just kind of naked all the time

[choochoomoomoo]

@beautifuleuphoria

Pretty true in reality as well.

[ehowie]

Them Hawkins brothers can't half play guitar. Definitely 2 of the best guitarists from the last decade.

[VideoGamePervert]

One of the best guitar solos ever!!!

[alexbeswick1988]

Love blasting this out before I go to the pub. :D

[LiHoBi]

The proper song doesnt start untill 1:00.

[The80sJukebox]

Their guitar solos should be in the hall of fame...

[DruumStixx]

theeerrreee baaccckkkkk!

[phillipjones95]

I like the fact that they can use their guitars as shot guns!

[ReadmanJ]

Love the Guitar-Excalibur!

[rog3rrr]

they wrote a song about an STD and made it sound class.

<3 the darkness

[Wedvix64]

4 people dont have s dik growing on them

[guitargodthor]

From out of the darkness came a band

and that band was a band of light and of sound,

that band was.... The Darkness!

[Feudmusic]

Love this tune, glad they're back!!

[2011punkrock]

so in the simplest of terms, the darkness is the offspring of a spaceship and a randy terodactyil? FUCKING AMAZINGGG!!!!!!!

and might i also add @ 3:15 ....... damn, look at that ass :D

the darkness is a great fucking band!!!!

[TheGreatWhiteHead]

Amidst a sea of vapid screaming emo self involved bands, it sure was nice to have a hard driving punchy, funny, rocking band out there - even for a brief moment.

[ayceerojahs]

this song has to be about an STD

[MultiDAS1000]

My uncle went to school with the bassist! Rocking Milnathort, baby!

[dak879]

@MultiDAS1000 Frankie? Did he have the crazy hair back then?

[lawschooladviceguy]

@MultiDAS1000 I have this image of him as a kid, but still having the afro and fu manchu 'stache

[MultiDAS1000]

bring back cock rock ,and bring it back hard!!!

[Ruiner087]

@MultiDAS1000 I see what you did there.

[MultiDAS1000]

@Ruiner087 i liked it :D

[i125q]

song starts at 00:58

[strooka]

isn't the whole point about the darkness is that they love playing rock music but are also tongue-in-cheek both lyrically and visually? that's why they were great to watch and listen too.

[strooka]

isn't the whole point of the darkness they love rock music but are also tongue-in-cheek both lyrically and visually? that's why they were great to watch.

[boozyshoutshout]

The greatest pink catsuit in the history of rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MisuOfArabonaClan]

I think the Darkness (both their videos, performance and music) are more about rejecting the vacuum of today's expectations and fashion (meaning not only Justin Bieber but, in a respectful manner, hardcore, new wave heavy metal, british pop etc) rather than tríing to resurrect something old (you can play a kind of music correctly if you SERIOUSLY think it's not dead)

[CCubed1717]

THE DARKNESS ARE BACK!

[ja34mo]

why must the darkness make such ausome music, but shite video's ?!

[1307penney]

@ja34mo its not about the video's dude. they just show that there budget is spent on there music, not there gear or video's. it's aaalll about the tunes dude. and that's the way it should be. cause nowa days you seem to get famous from what your wearing and 'how cool the video was'. thats not music..thats fuckin fashion.

not avin a go. :)

peace

[primeholyassasin20]

That album was actually very good, 70/80s hard rock queen spirit. I think the only problem was they way they were marketed, made them look like a novelty. But it does bring to question: how do you market a band like this nowadays?

[MultiChingon13]

PLEASE! COME BACK!

[toadexleen]

Lmao 3:14-3:15

[saifulizhan]

i lived thru the 80's and listens to all the good and bad tastes of that decade. the darkness really relive the 80's tune in a good taste

[camhelloscience]

does everyone know this song is about genital warts? Listen to the lyrics closely and you will see :)

[tomsmiler]

The four people that disliked this video arent growing on me

[waterhot80]

HOLY SHIT THE DARKNESS ARE FUCKIN BACK BABY! OH YEAH!

[straylightrun84]

theyre playing DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL 2011 sub headliners too!!! total joke

[dynamiteD17]

very nice!rock n rol!!!!!

[topfuel333]

the darkness look to be back check out a website called the actualdarkness and type the darknessofficial on faceboo :P there back

[3libraz]

this song is tha shit on e of the best

[turneri08]

Another Massive Hit for Justin Hawkins and The Darkness

Nice Vid

[killaoflimmus]

Rip snorting guitar solo just like music used to have, bring back the solos'.

[BunnyShoter]

Hear my voice all nations and every good people out there: DARKNESS! COME BACK!

[PhilClarke1080]

this song is about genital warts

[mortiekombat]

this song is awesome

[thidwick1]

i swear this song is about nits

[davidschechtman]

ok, justion has a serious problem about using clothes on his clips

[srhmusic13]

fuck dennis. this song is freaking epic. and it does represent you. the song is about a genital wart. sounds like you to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dennis199413]

@srhmusic13 my opinion... accept it shit bag... obviously whatever you got to say ain't gonna change it... so don't even say shit...

[dennis199413]

I took a quiz and it said this song represents me... the only thing this song is representing is a shit covered ass... no offence to the uploader... but this song is not good....,

[MrManly101]

@dennis199413 neither is your apparent taste in music, go favourite a britney spears song.

[dennis199413]

@MrManly101 1.ewww brittney... ewww. 2. your stupid for even comparing this song to her... 3. its my opinion so go suck on one... no point in making an issue over a "sound"

[dennis199413]

@MrManly101 1.ewww brittney... ewww. 2. your stupid for even comparing this song to her... if the song was so epic, you would have picked a much worthier person to compare it to instead of a crack head whore like her.... 3. its my opinion so go suck on one... no point in making an issue over a "sound"

[MrManly101]

@dennis199413 I must have missed something, you describe the song as poor and yet you talk it up in comparison? Are you bipolar? There is a point in making an issue over sound, it's that you're fucking hopeless and you should be castrated to prevent further damage :)

[dennis199413]

@MrManly101 no. the song still sucks, bad, but nothing is as bad as brittney.

I continue too look at your sad little words, and all I see is nothing but text. wow, how sad it is that your actually trying to hurt me with text. fankly, its my opinion, and I can do whatever I want with it, you don't like it, go bother someone else who cares. you call yourself Mr. Manly but your acting like a child when you say that there is a point making an issue over a sound. Nice guitar solo however...

[MrManly101]

@dennis199413 for someone who claims he doesn't care, you does seem to be getting pretty defencive and lashing out with your "sad little words". You seem to have lowered yourself to my "childlike level", congrats.

[dennis199413]

@MrManly101 *yawn* frankly i'm not lashing out on anyone... In fact I'm remaining perfectly calm here... but seriously... i'm getting bored... I've dealt with worse, and I'd like to get this over with... I'm not gonna call you anything... I am not gonna be disrespectful... I'm just saying, that I don't like the song. That is all... We all have our own opionions... You like the song, and I don't. I honestly don't see a problem there.... If you wanna continue, be my guest...

[middi6]

@dennis199413 question, why bother to coment on a song you dont like? it just seams a waste of time to me wehn you could be listoning and comenting on somthing you enjoy listoning to?

[dennis199413]

@middi6 good question, but the only answer that I can really choose is that, I wached it, so I might as well take a couple of seconds to post my own personal opinion on it...

[DiggidyDoyler]

All those amps, and their guitars aren't even plugged in!

[jon1156]

Sheer genius. Covers ALL the rock bases in three and a half minutes and wraps it up with a brilliant guitar solo. Probably the most entertaining video ever made.

[JamesOhGoodie]

One of the rockingest songs about heroin addiction ever!

[45825243]

@JamesOhGoodie it about STDs actually

[TheDirtyOne69tm]

HAHA the humping dino in the start always gives me the giggles!!!! Best song about genital warts you'll find lol

[kmp3000]

New album needed.

[sssyeah]

I love how he feels the solo coming out of the guitar!

[WATDVexed]

This was my soundtrack to 2003.

Great tune.

Great memories.

[dbrjaxfl]

"I wanna banish you from whence you came" - how can you not love a song with a lyric like that!

[jewsdo]

@dbrjaxfl oh snap i just switched back to the video and that line came on....i love it!!!!

[seanjosephhayes]

@dbrjaxfl Well said!

[bigkrak]

@dbrjaxfl It's not a love song. He's talking about his genital warts

[bigkrak]

@dbrjaxfl It's not a love song. He is talking about his genital warts.

[MegaJakeyt]

These are so amazing live. I went to see them at the NEC and on "Love on the rocks with no ice" Justin came out above the audience on a massive white tiger, was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!!!

[ironknife1]

love 3:56!!! awesome!!

[BiscuitNewt]

Damn ! the camera loves that man !

[HybridLette]

i love how they almost always have something humping something in their music videos LOL

[zephyrdrawings]

I can't help but think that Justin is what Russell Brand would be if Russell was musically inclined.... I miss this band.

[twojstaryNCE]

Wish they still played...

POLAND

[littleniki780]

Went to see them in 2004 :)

was amazing still got the t-shirt x

[WGKeanu]

0:57

[MsMajorshopaholic]

This song did not take too long to grow on me ! Brilliant treadmill music, keeps me on there endlessly !!!!

[thedewpoint]

@MsMajorshopaholic i hope you know that this song is about genital warts. but if thats what keeps you going, then by all means

[avengedguitarfreak]

too much epic in this video hahaha

[lanceuppercut151]

@MusicCrusader133 unique is the word

[eiffel0108]

I always lol at 3:15

[RwBguardian]

@charliesg101- "This song reminds me of RwB.(Hed have been 42 this yr) A guy that I didnt relaize 'clicked' w/ me and more. Unfortunatly I realzed it too late, as he ended his life 3 yrs ago. But the impact he left and made on my life is a constant reminder of the brief time spent as more than a friend to me and comfidant as well. Thank you for this post it will go in the RwB file on youtube."

[thhhegame33]

Darkness rules!!

[jonwhite78]

You guys know this is a song about having crabs right?? listen to the lyrics!

[RwBguardian]

@jonwhite78 - "If true then post the lyrics. If not then I think ur misinformed pal. Not 2 b rude but mop."

[thedewpoint]

@jonwhite78 genital warts actually

[QuinceyFoxx]

Ahaha there's always a spaceship.

[craziesthorse]

I hate this guy. You know why ? Because he is so fucking good. Killer guitar riffs, with killer leads, with killer vox and killer songs. He has a great look and moves great onstage. "Love is Only a Feeling" is one of the best love songs ever written. And he sounds so normal in interviews. Justin is a very very are individual. One of the best bands ever.

[nosoykamikaze]

this song is fuckin' great

[AVA1234]

I want a guitar gun :(

[darkhorse1985]

Sorely missed artists...

One of the the true greats that never had longevity to acquire a place in the hall of fame along side their musical compatriots.

[mightywibble]

@darkhorse1985 not sure if you know but there back together again, there supporting def leppard at the download fest this year

[seanjosephhayes]

@darkhorse1985 bloody well said mate

[MrFuckingMoonman]

im still pissed i never got to go to one of there shows

[roberts656]

i renember seeing these live they were brilliant. justin came in at the start on a pair of flying tits lol

[Merovingix]

I love the song but the video .... What a strange thing!

La canción me encanta , pero el video .... ¡Que cosa mas rara!

[bosazerfaliu]

grandissimi!!

[KeepinItRealG]

This band came out at the wrong time. If they had come out back in the 70s they would have been bigger. You either love them or hate them and I think they are great!!

[lovexhumiliatesxyou]

This video is nothing but art. disturbingly, beautiful art...

[GlenGlingo9]

I remember my big brother wanted Justins guitar

[lonewolf2379]

pity theese guys didnt make it further....they were good and different than the absolute shite nowadays....music has been saturated by indy pop english rock bands

[luisonia1218]

great song

[DavefromTinj]

where did they film this video, that mansion is bangin

[bluesunmovies]

omfg I love the Solo at the end! so fucking righteous man!

[cfwbdude]
