Ezra Furman and the Harpoons "Take Off Your Sunglasses"

[Zoopersaz]

This is my absolutely favourite song on the world for about half a year [which indeed means a lot 'cause I change them every month, normally!]!

Thanks for writing awesome music. x

[themasterbuilder44]

Who in 2009 told us to "Take Off Your Sunglasses?"

[fuckingholiday]

[johnliamten]

[wadeharris65]

21 people have obviously not been Harpooned.

[wertyklom]

Corey Delaney

[MotorDeLarge]

Only stupid people dislike this song!

[mikulas025]

I can't understand this small number of views, I really can't!

[Zoopersaz]

Oh my god, I'm deadly in love with this song. I have exams tomorrow, but I cannot stop listening to it!

[imeiprezime1]

[nrvzbrkdn81]

[nowhereman1940]

Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground, and Violent Femmes come to mind

[sacrottt]

[gottagetaway52]

[gabyxmariee]

ahaha oh gosh my ex boyfriend dedicated this song to me, i love this song anyways <3

[moooooooses]

i killed myself...

[izzet0guild0mage]

This song makes me smile. It's a good representation of a stupid fight; I think we can all relate.

[hancockjosh9]

Ezra is an absolute chief.

[griesgraemer]

ich widme den song dem stinkli...

[mshollyleeann]

Totally digging the harp.

[WafflesandWhales]

@mshollyleeann ????? I don't hear it. What I hear is a harmonica to end all wars...followed by an amazing song.

[mshollyleeann]

@WafflesandWhales harp, harmonica, same thing. GREAT stuff!

[denoix1]

Dylan and Jonathan Richman would be proud...

[mophead94]

i don't need to think about things i dont want to think about in the middle of the night, in the middle of the day i don't want to think about things i don't want to think about in the middle of the night

[raneman54]

We just discovered this at the knuckle rumbler show at SXSW. Great stuff. You have earned at least 5 more fans.

[sundaydriving]

claim to fame: i totally shared the stage with this kid at a middle school talent show. ok, i wasn't on the stage at the same time as him, but...close enough

[MrAdem11]

DIE REPLAY BUTTON DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[akotasun]

I have listened to this so much since the summer of 2009. That was a good summer:) It only had like 5000 views then xD

[knoxrox167]

this is one of those songs that is so good that, upon discovering it, i cant listen to it all the way through because i keep restarting it halfway through.

[kintar90]

Met him at a small record store in Madison. Bought his album. Right after the bitch that worked there called him a whiny singer-songwriter. But I never listen to people with that many piercings, so no biggy.

[Masaowolf]

@kintar90 Was that at The Exclusive? I got both of mine signed. :3

[kintar90]

@Masaowolf

Yeah! And that's awesome that you got them signed. I bought Banging Down The Doors. Such a good album.

[ericnygiants]

Bob Dylan would be very proud.

[mmeditatio]

@ericnygiants *gordon gano would be proud

[LeslieRichardGrove]

@ericnygiants Bob Dylan is still alive...

[TheShakeableTable]

@LeslieRichardGrove He didn't suggest that he was dead? Being dead isn't a requirement for being proud.

[LeslieRichardGrove]

@TheShakeableTable True; it isn't. But I've never heard anyone say "(s)he would be proud" while talking about someone who's alive. You generally use that phrase when you're talking about someone who's deceased. Although it's not a SUPER strict rule, it's just a bit peculiar for him to say 'Bob Dylan would be proud".

[TheShakeableTable]

@LeslieRichardGrove Well Whatever the case, I think we can agree this song kicks ass... :)

[LeslieRichardGrove]

@TheShakeableTable Agreed. 

[mophead94]

@LeslieRichardGrove so what would you say? he IS very proud? maybe he hasn't heard it?

AWESOME SUMMERTIME SONG

[ricard]

@ericnygiants why? because of a harmonica and his physique?

[tjemilo92]

@bartieboy93, I wouldn't say that I hate the people who are hipsters but I hate the movement, as I do with every scene movement....not to say I wasn't an eager participant in the emo, punk, and grungy, movements in my day but it comes to a point where going to shows people would judge me for dressing differently than them. Being a fan of music should not dictate how someone chooses to dress, if we adhere to those standards, then we are simply helping a conformist society regulate its citizens

[bartieboy93]

@tjemilo92 hmmm if you look well then you could connect just about every style of clothing to a type of music

[Killacelt]

Love the band. Love the song. This is a God-aweful video.

[JeppeDallGregersen]

I actually lost my shoelace... :P

[tjemilo92]

God I hate Hipsters but I love Indie and Folk Music

[bartieboy93]

@tjemilo92 why hate hipsters?

[ichigomihhi]

awesome sunglasses!!

[Imsohighrightnow2]

its a buzzy tune man

[JJMK369]

indescribably unbelievable!!!!

[NewEngChris81]

corey delaney loves this song

[Floats67]

Hipsters ......there music is AWESOME !!!!

[NunzOnDrugs]

He's hilarious. I think he's Phil Spector's long lost son.

[sk8forlife103]

14 people will burn in hell when they die.

[DJ1020S]

14 nehmen ihre sonnenbrille ab xD

[frostedflaky]

good song

[ChasHolling]

hipsters. 

[TheDoodlebob]

@ChasHolling how dare you

[ThehoneyJani]

take off your sunglasses soo that i can see your eyess ;)

[HeiligerBimBam9]

mal ganz ehrlich: Irgendwie haben wir Österreicher dann doch den besseren Musikgeschmack. Siehe Aufrufinfo..

FM4 rules :DD

[Blinki18284]

@HeiligerBimBam9 Geb dir Recht! Aber es gibt ja zum Glück auch Deutsche, die FM4 hören :D

[mofliz]

@Blinki18284 ich kenn des lied von M94.5 ;))

[codyhansonbass]

Definitely get the vibe of Gordan Gano and Lou Reed in his vocal approach. Which aint a bad thing. Great song.

[mrhighlife20]

These guys rock. I saw them at Lollapalooza last year. good show! Remind me of Violent Femmes a little.

[IndieSlap]

i think we should stop comparing his voice to other vocalists and just enjoy his music

[Samsonstumbles]

Everybody is saying Bob Dylan, but his voice reminds me of Gordan Gano of the Violent Femmes...think about it. And if you more than just Blister in the Sun you'll understand that's a complement. Wish these guys the best.

[Kherra95]

''dann kam das interview'' :D

[flyingtshirts]

Juaju!!!! buen video, buena letra!

[zOmtain]

quiero esos lentes , hey any have one perfect radio online?

[ludella77]

14 seconds and...TO MY FAVORITES!

[multisuperkawaii]

after one year, im still not tired of this song [=

[vullersnieke]

they spend the nicht at our place in the nehterlands after a great performance, for now, only musicians and music apreciators like their music, because they see what's it about, but i bet it doesn't take long before they reach a wider public, whe're gonna hear much more of them!!

[WalrusJump]

kickass. haganah represent. very few people will understand what this means.

[unshiriniert]

This makes me hate mainstream even more.

FUCKING GREAT

[Blackwaterdesigns]

I saw them opening for Delta Spirit the other day at the 930 club, and I was wearing my friends' zany purple heart-shaped sunglasses. After Ezra was done we were talking to him and I thought he was a cool dude so I asked him to wear my sunglasses. I didn't know it, but later my friend informed me that the last song they played was this one, so Ezra probably thought I was being all witty about the song title, but I just wanted him to wear my sunglasses. A reward for being a cool motherfucker.

[haraldfritzvonmullki]

dirty dream sei dank :D

[haraldfritzvonmullki]

dirty dreams sei dank :D:D

[superflydemon]

[TheMrScoopy12]

Gotta say I love it . . .They've got some other cracking tracks too notably "Faceless Boy". Refreshing and uplifting. . .A breath of fresh air I wish them every success!

[IamyourSatisfaction]

[blazeboy33]

[Amesa123456789]

ray ban wayfarer

[ryanclayts]

they're called wayfarers=) i have myself a pair.

The originals were made by rayban(i think)

[BigVaiDa]

@blazeboy33

try RayBan sunglasses. they have that style, too

[darlingwonder]

@blazeboy33 i think they're called "wayfarers" but, yeah, you can get them anywhere on the cheaps

[dailener]

i LOVE the face he makes at 1:23

[aftershowparty]

does anyone know who the guy with the camera is? i think i've seen him in a couple of short films

however, this song is catchy

[JustGimmeSomeTruth]

that guy on the camera is the drummer, the microphone man is their bass player.

[jugglingguyy]

nah it's just the drummer

[frankiesdemise]

it has more gordan gano than either bob or paul

[nafnalyd]

sounds like an exact mix of bob dylan and paul simon

[grewuz]

bob dylan...

[bturne4]

this guy's a douche but this is catchy

[JustGimmeSomeTruth]

having talked to Ezra Furman for about an hour last night, I can say this is utterly falst. EF and his bands were some of the nicest most sincere musicians I've ever gotten to talk to.

You know nothing.

[blockslugger]

not bad, 5/10

[mocoensangrentado]

I have those glasses :)

[SamS159]

indie is english.

[arghk]

arghhh i cant stop listening to this song. first time its happened... everr

[suselumse]

great song, video and great sunglasses! :D

[BonScottAC]

Maybe if I were more cock and balls I could have her but I rarely torture myself with such thoughts.

[bauernwurst]

Ist das der Typ, der auch im Theaterstück "Dylan-The Times They Are A-Changin" den Dylan gespielt hat?

[pupskopf]

bob dylisiert

[mrsphotography17]

i like it...

it´s amazing

[cd630]

this is great! i love it.

[turbojugendscibes]

Erinnert mich an Petsch Moser meets Bob Dylan...sehr fein das ganze!

[alexgonzalezbartos]

voll!ur bob dylan style...ur fein!!!

[chirschi90]

erinnert mich an bob dylan

[evol2121]

love the lyrics

[Aguywith2buttz]

they closed with this song at lollapalooza and it's the one that hooked me

[skatedaalex]

ohne FM4 hätten wir keine brauchbaren radiosender mehr :)

[Felipefelipedj89]

so ist es!

[hamsterino23]

richtig!! ;)

[iljaschaefer]

da haste vielleicht recht.

[Jackosen1]

hast absolut recht

[TheStriat]

@skatedaalex Und was ist mit MOTORFM ;)

[JulesNinteen]

it likes to stuck in my head :O

like it!

[burtongirly1]

Beim ersten Mal hören hat es mir garnicht gefallen aber jetzt find ich es voll cool

[ARDrumr]

i have a crazy question...is this the same Erza from the band Piglet??

[groverfish]

no, but I can assure you he's better!

[lurtzilein]

i love the song, but when i heard the song the first time i thought there sings a woman :D

[TownFunk]

Just saw these guys in Columbus and I can't stop listening to this song!!! Why didn't I see a CD stand or something there?!

[Wrackfuck]

oh, dude!! I guess he wants to be like Bob Dylan...

[wowdreambighaha]

i saw them at lollapalooza and completely fell in love with them.

[thawohoo]

FM4 Charts number one!!

[1492GY]

Was würde Österreich woll0hne FM4 machen???

[Bartzinator]

Österreich würde von irgendwelchen blauen pennern zugrunde gerichtet werden, ______________________________­_________alle rechtschreibfehler sind gewollt und dienen zur erheiterung des gemeinen pöbels

[bigupsteady1]

Definitely Dylanish. Loves it.

[philippfib]

[SeineDudeheit]

[VelvetSun]
