[DieKleineRoteKiste]

[IndieFaggitt]

240p? what is this? africa?

[JoseMB13]

@IndieFaggitt No, but probably there are african listeners...

[Siiporpoise]

what are they saying?

[IamSakuraHearMeRoar]

un peu d'air su la terre- a little air on [the] earth. goodness. how hard is it?

[123poilobra]

i'm french.

This song is very fun, because foals have a VERY BAD French accent , we can't understand what he says , exept if we read the lyrics

And the traduction takes :

Un peu , d'air sur la terre = A little(a kind of? ) , Air on the earth

[wewereinthecorner]

Logic will take you from a - b, imagination will take you everywhere ..

[Lanxxx101]

un peu d'air sur la terre = there's little air on the earth

[AleXMdN1]

over-rated band, but this song is good.

[gimina37]

great job boys.....i like very much.....

[doudou4052]

french open because when the musique start they say "un peu d air sur la terre" it s french

[agymnast1]

what is this shit?

[samueliio]

my fav. song by the foals <3

[labowatts]

some words in french, it's talking about "Roland Garros" ! (open tennis tournoi)

[Frenchkisssss]

why "french" open ?

[MaxHarryMitchell]

Ahh-Ohh, Escalator Down!

[123erfj]

nodding my head like a bro to the beginning

[krispy000]

[EliasElElias]

[cepasevident]

[TheJohnsonsOfficial]

Foals don't rock! They Math Rock! haha

[sfasilver]

Like the Nico intro.......

[NOONEYOUKNOWORLIKETO]

EARGASM!

[badboytomas]

when i clicked like, i didn't just do it for the amazing song but for the fact that the band are immense!

[dippdawgy]

hmmm..i think im repeating myself but im reaaaaly obsessed with these guys!

and i cant help but wonder why the rest of the people dont even like them..

[qoakzm2qoakzm]

love this jam

[Doug1000C]

Un peu d'air sur la terre, d'air sur la, d'air sur la, d'air sur la terre!

[SteelTofu]

I just want to interject with the whole Bloc Party vs. Foals thing. Perhaps it's not about who's better or worse, or whos lyrically deep, but perhaps the message the two bands are trying to get accross aren't so different. Either way, its hard to not feel that poeticness from each of them. Thats my opinion anyway =)

[ahordeofrebelangels]

I like this version too, I wish there weren't so many different versions though.

[XxDunklesxX]

lmfao es ou la!!!!!!!!!! rolmfao are u there are u there lol they sound weirdly funny tryna speak french lol es ou la! hahahah

[Secilou80]

mais en plus " un peu d'air sur terre" c'est aussi le slogan de Lacoste .

Qu'importe ! Sa c'est du FOALS et c'est bon !!! <3

[Secilou80]

ho putin ! ils chantaient en français .. Je ne m'en étais meme pas rendu compte :PPPP

ils ont un accent super mignon :)

[xthisismywar]

why the fuck is everyone comparing foals to bloc party???

NO COMPARISON

foals is a trillion times better ..creative fucking geniuses these men are

[Tithen101]

I agree their also in different genres.

eg. Foals - Math Rock,

Where as Bloc Party's more electro/techno rock similar to metro station but to compare them would insult bloc party.

haha

[cal31BRIAN23]

Bloc party is not more of a electro/ techno band. Just their last album was. If you listen to their first 2 albums, nothing with electro in it! Seems most people talking about Bloc party, don't even know them!

[Tithen101]

sorry didn't mean to put techno in and who cares about old albums where talking about people comparing them at the moment as in now.

[cal31BRIAN23]

First off get the fuck outta here with that BS! "

foals is a trillion times better" Foals and Bloc party are my favorite 2 bands, and i know every single song from both bands. Creativity wise both bands are equal! Lyrically foals are not on Bloc party's level. You ever heard songs like BIKO, RHODODENDRON, EMMMA kate's accident , Vision of heaven. You prob haven't, prob one of those people who only heard their popular songs. Go listen to some of these songs, and see NO ONE COMPARES, NO ONE!!!!

[cal31BRIAN23]

First off thanks for not responding like a typically youtuber lol. Secondly have you heard every Bloc party song? You can't say that about bloc party unless you have heard every song. Most of bloc party popular song don't have their best lyrics.

[cal31BRIAN23]

Vision of heaven

Walking up here

On my own

Telegenic

Windswept day

Desolate

Bloc party - Vision of heaven

''And we can make a raft from all the dead trees

And set sail for better times""

Atonements

[TheZebsTV]

im sorry i dont mean any offence but seriously.

yannis got into oxford university for literature and that says something.

lyrically they are better metaphorically, in similes and especially imagery and just how shit go together. though some of their songs have like only 4 lines, those 4 lines can say more than a whole page of lyrics coming from bloc party.

ps. i dont hate bloc party, as they go alright.

[tommyjosh94]

@xthisismywar Bloc Party is better. AS"j cs.klfbdhmf nfASDSFVBGBFJFDJKSBJKk54swd

[WiredComedy]

@xthisismywar better, no.

[acdcareshit1234]

@xthisismywar i like you :P

[rainbowghostsplinter]

@xthisismywar no need for that mate... i think they're both brilliant in their own ways:)

[Bananomon]

@xthisismywar thats stupid, bloc party is amazing lmao

[agymnast1]

@xthisismywar i fink that a day to remember has more talent

[eddya37]

@xthisismywar Don't be that harsh, Silent Alarm is great

[thomasharman14]

@xthisismywar Music isn't a competition you know this right? They're both amazing bands.

[ofurbanesuavity]

hahahaha the lines in this are: Un peu d'air sur la terre D'air sur la D'air sur la D'air sur la terre and that translates to: A little air on earth air on the air on the air on the earth (:

[lguard73]

I would like to thank the person that put this video up for providing both the UK version of the word, "favourite" and in parentheticals the US version "favorite."

The funny thing is, when I think about it, a more accurate spelling would be favrite by the way we pronounce it.

To conclude, Foals fucking rocks.

[martyrdomcausespanic]

Not a big Bloc Party fan, tbh, but I love Foals.

[crosswalkernie]

Bloc Party is fucking awesome.

[FrostLagoon]

un peu dair sur la terre

dair sur la

dair sur la

dair sur la terre

a wasted game

broken rackets + gadgets

we waste away

[PARTYxFoals]

Bloc Party and Foals are my two favorite bands! Seeing them play together would be heaven. Their sound is amazing.

[plcbmathilde]

i prefer the live version it's more... noizy and Eccentric !

[AlexTheRabbi]

saw them do this live in the olympia when they were backing for bloc party amazing

[inbreadsnail4]

me two :)

[aidstothemalpass]

yeah i was there too, was mental

[mistersir92]

me 2, there were the shit

[snarfsnarf105]

they played with bloc party holey shit they r like the same band but foals is better... of course ;)

[Walkingshade1]

lol we need more bands like foals and bloc party ... :D there both awsome !

[dev72292]

Hands down my favorite foals song

there brilliant simplicity is amazing and the fact that there even more outstanding live doesn't hurt. :)

[aronicio]

ou yeah :L ♥

[tmilsted]

i love this song so much :)

[HotHandsWhite]

According to french teachers it means a little bit of heaven on earth.

[gloverfelix]

I thought it was little bit of air on the earth

[iwouldbeatthat]

that would make since, literally it would mean that, but it seems like its an french idiom or something, lolzz

[mistersir92]

does that actually make sense to you?

[fallenangemon0]

Translation: A little air on earth.

On the air

on the air

air on earth

;D

[vincent3730]

No....falle you're wrong,, It's :

A few air on the earth

air on the

air on the

air on the earth.

But i'm french and i very don't understand what they say in french x) It's weird... They have a strange accent

[desumongler]

@vincent3730 and @fallenangemon0

You are both wrong, it's

A, bit, of air on the earth

Air on the

Air on the

Air on the earth

Believe me, I'm french and probably more apt at translating this than babel fish translator or an american that has french class once a week

[BlaineTheMono1]

@desumongler im afraid your wrong aswel. it's;

A ha cheesecake

ah cheesecake, cheesecake, cheesecake with a biscuit base

Believe me, iv'e been french since before you are born and am high aswel

[xfunkologyx]

haha you're a funny guy :)

[novemberalfa18]

@BlaineTheMono1 yeah yeah... the lyrics means "a little bit of air into the earth" im french love

[novemberalfa18]

@BlaineTheMono1 yeah yeah... the lyrics means "a little bit of air into the earth" im french love

[far0cry101]

@novemberalfa18 Rough translation is better here. Really what is intended is "a little air on the ground."

You may be French but you don't know the English saying! That's what it means to us.

[areetlikehew]

@BlaineTheMono1 I'm afraid this is also wrong.

It is as follows...

Oh NO! Sweat patch on knee

Sweat patch on

Sweat patch on

Sweat patch on knee.

[xxxbri2k7xxx]

why is everything upside down????????

[emilyrose321]

was youtubes april fool

[laurenzo404]

un peu d'air sur la terre means a little air on earth no?

[IndieCracker0000]

Mmmh , Pretty good (:

I love the ending

[neonfoxincolour]

love this song.

and i think "um peu d'air su la terre" means "a little [something] of the ground".

[neonfoxincolour]

i mean "un peu".

[fleurtje123]

No It Means A little Bit air in the world (A)

Its a great song on of my Fav!

[LimitlessFreak]

Has anyone here ever heard of the band - Battles - they are identical to foals

[holyshitmichael]

yeah i have, i wouldnt say they're identical though.

[jasonbigelow]

Not at all identical. Battles use synths, and laptops

[hollygoesmoo]

battles are way more musically  technical

and less kind of..teenagery.

[Woodlot75]

Not always a bad thing though :)

[imnotforlovers]

what keyboard does edwin use?? i know its Korg but which model?? such a good song

[fatbroccoli]

Korg MS-20

[pencilcase25]

FRENCH: un peut, d'air sur la terre, d'air sur la air, sur la air, sur la terre

ENGLISH: a bit, of air on the ground, of air on the air, on the air, on the ground

dunno what he says in the rest, not thought about it tbh :)

[Wojtek1505]
