[varvazzz]

このアレンジは最高。

[GrimShart]

I saw Devendra Banhart do a cover of this the other night in Sydney. Instead of "I could be apoplectic" Devendra said the line the way he had misheard it the first time which was "I could be a half black chick". Awesome cover!

[hiphophorray123]

@GrimShart I was there!!!

[alxdghty]

@GrimShart I saw him cover it in Tokyo yeahhaaaa

かっこいい、おじさまたちだ。

[confettiful]

This song reminds me of the Postal Service. But I love YMO so much more without a doubt.

[silverapple127]

YMO forever!!!!!!

Yukihiro Takahashi is playing an electric bagpipe on this. He's not fingering it correctly (I play bagpipes myself), but it works well enough in the song nonetheless.

[wwwvwww555]

i am listened the music when i was so young.

[bittermelonpro]

Speechless. Awesome!

[Jimothyp]

great version. i've always found this song to be beautiful and brutal in it's honesty, a rare thing indeed

[NessieSanzerbeard]

These three are the most talented and eclectic musicians living, and this is beautiful. Says me!

細野さん、これより高速カントリー版のほうが歌唱うまいね

[Ymofangirl1972]

He ages so well does Hosono

He know it :)

[PHILPANDA]

Can anyone write the lyrics down :), thinkin about making a cover of this. It's pure brilliance...

[ymo1965]

@PHILPANDA .. here ya go (PART 1) I'm worrying everyday I could be anorexic I'll have to get into shape Can't seem to find the right charge Your mother she might be a swimmer Your father must of been a vaulter Don't put me in skates Ping-pong I'm no great shakes People say i'm weak Can't even hold her tight You're the star of the poolside Your streamline curves i can't abide

[ymo1965]

@PHILPANDA .. part 2

I'll be a good sport

Be a good sport

I'll be a sports man

I'm not sleeping these days

Maybe insomniac

Quench my thirst, flesh and blood

I've got this craving for you

You brother they call him batman

Your sister we know she's a wonder woman

[ymo1965]

@PHILPANDA .. part 3

I'm seeing sundays

I could be apoplectic

The whole family gets in shape

Under the floodlights

People tell me i'm not strong

I can't seem to find the right charge

I'll be a good sport

Be a good sport

I'll be a sports man

[PHILPANDA]

@ymo1965 Thanks, you're awesome! :). Great lyrics!

ええな。本間。

[daiou2004]

なんてかっこいいおじさん達だ

[novevidros]

what is the electric instrument Yukihiro Takahashi(a centre man who wears a hat) playing??

[tukacchi1000]

Electric Bagpipes

[darushibu]

@novevidros He is playing an electronic bagpipe or electronic chanter. It sounds nothing like a bagpipe, I know. Also, from what I have read, he's not using the correct bagpipe fingering technique, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to.

[xleeca]

do they tour the US, california/west coast? this is one of the few bands I want to see live in my lifetime.

[xleeca]

This is soo beautiful and emotional. i love the evolution of their sound.

[Chapechan]

I wish they would come to all over the world.

[008bluesky]

I wish they would come to Singapore
