  • Mmm que j'aime cette chanson

  • Best Eels song?

  • This song is even more amazing if you listen to the album leading up to it. Electro Shock Blues is a descent into insanity by mourning, and it loses rhythm and melody up until this song, when everything comes clear as a bell. Mr E's masterpiece, that's for sure.

  • Don't get me wrong here I love this song, but is it just me or does the last little bit of the song remind you of Bob the Builder?

  • Interesting subject, beautiful lyrics, stunningly music and a very original video clip, perfect exists, it's named Eels.

  • The song that got me into the Eels, such an amazing song.

  • Can't believe there's people hating on the carrot. This has always been one of my favourite music videos.

  • when ever i'm stressed out i always listen to this song....it so awesome!!!

  • I wish I had a carrot I could sing harmonies with.

  • @Davoken Thats what she said....

  • this video is strangely hilarious

  • great song, one of my favorites for eels ,

    but the video is so off style. i stand my point

  • The annoying carrot!

  • I love the song and the lyrics. But. Whats with the carrot?

  • I wanna fly on down with you Mr E

  • LoisTheroux.

  • @TheVimtoMoustache I have always though he looked just like him!!

  • when lisa simpson missed her bus-stop and ended up in 'crackton'...

  • That is a great video

  • i want this carrot

  • "La vita è imprevedibili bellezze e strane sorprese. A volte, la

    bellezza è troppa e non riesco a gestirla. La conoscete questa

    sensazione? Quando c'è troppa bellezza? Quando qualcuno dice o scrive

    qualcosa che vi commuove fino alle lacrime? Fino a farvi cambiare,

    forse. E' interessante quando un miscredente è costretto a interrogare... i

    propri dubbi. Forse è stato proprio questo a spingermi verso la musica,

    come un incantesimo."(Mark Oliver Everett, a.k.a. Mr. E., a.k.a. Eels)

  • TOTALLY AMAZING INDEED

  • fuck´in great.

    wow 38 idiots.sad very sad.

  • 2:06 is the best part!

  • yay singing carrot! amazing

  • I really hope they play this song at Brixton Academy on September 1st!

  • no floxroxbo, it's not just you...eels ARE amazing!

  • "take a flight and you could be here tomorrow" love the eels!!

  • i want a talking carrot with a lisp too!!!

  • i want a talking carrot..

  • I love all their videos, theyre all so fabulously bizarre!

  • I listing to this song every day

  • =) super musique vraiment j'adore <3

  • The voice in the refrain (not sung by mr. E but the mixed one) is a sample from the voice 'Bounce rock skate roll' at about 2 : 29.

    So brilliant :)

  • freakkking amazing :DD

  • I wish I had my own little carrot guy to hang out with...

  • that is one talented carrot !

  • the carrot reminded me of annoying orange.

    on a side note EELS ARE AWESOME !

  • @jigsoree me too ^^ annoying carrot xD

  • Wow, this is actually awesome! I'm just annoyed that I never heard it before today!! :S

  • You see this video while you're eating....hospital food :-)

  • That carrot is awesome!!

  • I love these guy!

  • heh

  • If Mark Ruffalo has a dorky brother...nuff said.

  • I'm glad I found Eels. thanks you OC. California ;D

  • This album is amazing.

    He turned all the tragedy of death surrounding him into passionate music.

    It takes a special someone to overcome that kind of pain in a way that spring-boards them above & beyond.

    I am always so happy hearing his work on the Shrek projects, because he really has paid his dues.

  • I love the eels

  • my favourite, GREAT!!!!

  • Awesome, unique song... could have done without the scratching I suppose, but otherwise it's one of the most beautiful songs I can imagine... sad but somehow hopeful. There's no songwriter quite like E....

  • love it! big fan of eels for ages now

    but only just noticed that when the carrot dude is getting a nose.. it choose the nose labeled "E" XD

  • Man he knows how to write a sad song doesn't he!

  • awesome song! check out my drum cover of it :) thanks!

  • Singing along to this made me laugh - should i let the carrot do his solo? :p

  • *in deep voice*

    "I'm gonna fly on down..."

  • title and registration is much better.

  • Best video ever. Song rates very highly too :p

  • Yeah the carrot's kewl, but the watermelon scares the shit outta me XD

  • I Love this video

  • I want this song performed at my funeral.

  • dude that would be awesome

  • Nice choice man. I get it, it's the first line right? You should pay to have a motorized pedestal lift up and spin your coffin around in time to the scratches.

  • This video is fantastic, very nice!

  • first cut is the deepest.....

  • One of the greatest songs and videos from the past 20 years. No question.

  • The greatest Christmas Song ever written (without actually being one)....if that makes sense.

  • Damn, those are some early 90's raw hip hop ish drums, reminds me of Gravediggaz...

  • :58 well alright

  • I went to mystery google and looked up benjamin franklin and it took me to this

  • Thats bizarre to the max!

    Definitely more interesting then Benjamin Franklin thats for sure.

  • Sad subject matter mixed with upbeat music. Gotta love Eels.

  • this is old.

    therefore, so is the new school.

    what about refused? not these new-school poser knockoffs...

    indie rock: been there, done that...

    I've been hearing it for almost 15 years now and people still get off on it.

  • @BagpipeHustler whoa don't say indie you might offend someone. I think its more pc to say "alternative" but i haven't checked the polls today.... (minus -2 come on, really?)

    Old- yes I am older than you and that why I appreciate it. Not worth a down thumb...

  • Completely bizarre

  • creepish and geekish...I LOVE IT!

  • definetly not the best clip, but fun... I prefer the clip from "i like birds"... ; ]

  • This song is inspiring!! ever since i startd to listen to this song my grades have gone up from 60's to 90

    LOVE YOU EELS RoCK ON!!!

  • Ha! It's been the other way around in my case =P good for you.

  • This is a brilliant idea :D

  • His book is really good, if you haven't read it. He is a testament to the human spirit and what we can endure.

  • feelgood music......nice :)

  • Cool 20 YO track I never knew existed!

  • pretty sic video

  • your dead but the world keeps on spinning

  • this is the best music video i have ever seen next to the yeah yeah yeah song by the flaming being second!

  • electro-shock blues is the most life changing album I've ever heard.

  • Ive been meaning to get that album.!! its that good?!?

  • To oneillia: YES.

    The best Eels video for the best (in my opinion) Eels song.

  • It's the proverbial watershed of the entire eels discography. And it's only the second album. It was basically Everett's way of dealing with every important death in his life at that point. There is absolutely no album like it in the history of music, and it is sure to change your life in ways you can't imagine. It's even better if you can get your hands on the autobiography while you listen.

  • woww thanks a lot :p

  • yeah the autobiography actually manages to make perfect songs even better. incredible stuff. listening to Blinking Lights... was amazing after the reading it, sat outside staring at the stars Shining =)

  • this song is indie heaven

  • id love to have a little carrot me! tall at last...

    great music

  • this is such a beautiful song.

  • didn't some shitty faux rap act sample this track?

  • Is it just me or are eels just amazing?

  • noo, they're absolutely amazin' :]

  • both

  • is it just me or does eels have some weird as hell music vids for their greatest songs?

  • Yeah, I love how un-bandy they are, and how they step out of the limelight when really they deserve more praise that bands like Kings of Leon.

  • @floxroxbo amazing, of course! :D

  • whats with the carrot?! lmao x

  • kinda kreepy som how....but still kick ass song!

  • awsome

  • kick ass song!

  • great song, great times :D

  • HOT DAMMMMN!

  • man, a also want to have a singing carrot that looks like me :(

  • Awesome carrot~great video:)

  • such a depressing album, but such a good song

  • I love this song but I have to say this song deserve a better Music Video.

    Maybe a cartoon one is better.

    I've seen this video 100times,And...every time...when I see that carota's head is cut I get really uncomfortable.

  • Love this song.

    "I'm gonna fly on down to the last stop on this town" "Whaat?"

    I love that line. I laugh every time I hear it.

  • Lmao.. One of the most trippy music videos I have ever seen. I wonder if you are high when you watch this it'll seem normal :O

  • Dude, I WAS high when I saw this and it still didn't make too much sense...

  • zomg! I wana sing with a carrot!

  • check out Fall of the Fortress!!

  • Love this.Great guitar work at 1:57

  • Nobody cares about what you think because they can't understand what you're saying to begin with.

  • lol learn grammar please, I don't understand because you're obviously mentally challenged. Second of all that pic is from one of my videos, everything on my account is sarcastic. Get a sense of humor, read a book, and get a life.

    ~a five year-old college student

  • ... what? You've proven my point exactly.

    1. Maturity is based solely on perception. Do you really think I'm trying to impress you? It's a concept created in arrogance.

    2. All politics are based on arguments, every world conflict is the result of an argument.

    3. lol you still responded to me after you said that.

    4. I'm not a kid lol

    5. What is a facka?

    6. lol well yeah, you lost your bet.

    7. Calling yourself a retard isn't very smooth.

    8. Shut up and listen to the music.

  • guys drop it

    e-fights arent a sign of maturity

    life is what u make it, so go live it and stop sendin hate too each other

  • Comment removed

  • DUDE seriously!@%$ Learn some grammer - your embarrassing yourself. I mean sense when is it cool to make it seem like your in 2nd grade english lol?

  • i was just gonna say the exact same thing haha. my bro told me about it. he said it was from our old 411vm video. i love hip hop and it is great music. good comment selectah

  • small world huh?

  • i remember this was on a 441vm skateboard video. just found it by mistake & its still so great. i love the melody that starts at 1:20. great music. and thats comin from a hardcore hiphop fan. but ey, i appreciate any kind of music as long as i feel it and i am convinced people make for the love of the art & not for the money.

    peace all the way from germany.

    i'm gonna hit the replay button right now.............

  • i loved this song when i was younger and the video came on mtv, but i never knew the name of it and so i never heard it again until about three months ago. that was the happiest moment of my life :)

  • Oh shit - why have I never seen this??? Easily one of Eels best tracks... and... why have I never seen this???

  • My favorite part is the face he makes at 1:07 priceless

  • I agree but its a little early to be thinking about death- little pessemistic :( but yeah your right =[)

  • yeah right. optimistic about how kickass the fyoonruhl's gone be.

  • the video is amazing

  • ooooh! sehr schöööön....

  • No, I'm afraid I don't. He was off his head on goof balls at the time. It obscured his vision and his ability to ascertain size and distance

  • What if I was not your only friend in this world.

    Can you take me where youre going if youre never coming back.

  • yeah, im going to eeling and i need eel lovers! come one come all! who's with me?! xx

  • This song is great! It makes me feel better when I'm sad.

  • i love the way when im listening to the song i can hear it

  • I was with E when he wrote this song. He jotted the lyrics down on an etchasketch before turning to me and saying, "Rob, you have a very nice willy!"
