Esser - Headlock

[Twangabilly]

His image really doesn't fit with his music.. I was expecting rockabilly/psychobilly.

[jordanlc218]

Esserx

[musicismyweapon1000]

I listen to this song all the time i love it :)

[Rigbylane]

He's got a new album coming out in 2012 :-)

[exbronco1980]

ironically, there are no headlocks in this video.

[durananrananrananran]

so... I'm young enough to listen to this and appreciate it, but old enough to think of 2008 as about 5 minutes ago, Someone 10 years younger than me explain how, fashion wise, he was in any way ahead of the curve?

[clarepies]

@durananrananrananran nice username aha, legend

[durananrananrananran]

@clarepies cheers

[TheBizzle280]

Wow this guy is like the hipster icon. Undercut, bright socks with rolled up jeans and some loafers, with a button up shirt to finish. Haha and it was 2 years ago, he's way ahead of the game.

[dikmrof]

fucking pathetic

[dikmrof]

are you all insane? this is complete shit. a brigade of uncoordinated pansy whiney and untalented wastes of life. this isn't music. it's like an english K-Mart commercial 5 years from now. what is wrong with you all? you people cave in the second some limp wristed douche bag with a faggy haircut shits out some garbage and despite the past references your minds know of what music is, you cave and think this will give you some browning points that you have found this weeks #1 shit called "music"

[LackingInGravitas]

@dikmrof haha

[clarepies]

@dikmrof maybe people have different tastes in music. consider that for a bit? i think what you meant was 'in my opinion...this is complete shit' because i like this song, and you telling me you dont isnt going to change that. thanks anyway, but nobody cares.

[sweet518]

So is Esser still alive/making music? Heard nothing in months...

[clarepies]

the school girl in the middle is really pretty... i can say that cus im a teenage girl, probably younger than her. not a pedo.

[HoraceHam]

He looks like a Topman employee.

[yearsley1234]

@HoraceHam you're a cunt.

[HoraceHam]

@yearsley1234 because?

[karakamen]

hipster overload

[hangsambo12]

Karl,Red....where did you find this shit?Bahahaha!

[ILoveVitas909]

he's hot but my God, he sucks LOL

[rsyiaanm]

@ILoveVitas909 not true !

[aldebaranforyou]

Very good song. Great.

[davidmar43]

Whatever happened to this guy, is he still alive?



[iwantablackparade]

Summer '08 <3

[sliverfreak9]

@iwantablackparade This was the song of my summer too in '08 (:

Before my freshman year of High School

[iwantablackparade]

@sliverfreak9 Haha! same here !

[sliverfreak9]

@iwantablackparade Before your freshman year too? O:

I remember hearing this on Subterranean and falling in love with it <3

[iwantablackparade]

@sliverfreak9 Yeah, before freshman year. And was it on MTV? Then yeah, me too.

[sliverfreak9]

@iwantablackparade Oh my gosh! You just became like my new best friend! Yeah on MTV2 :3

[iwantablackparade]

@sliverfreak9 :D Hahah

[sliverfreak9]

@iwantablackparade :D

[RIDINGBITTER]

Reminds me of the song 'Indigo' by Moloko. I do like it though.

[naminegrl15]

this was in 2008. he was WAY ahead of his time. i mean...look at his hair and his style :D

[ozanddanarehoMo]

@naminegrl15 are you an idiot

[naminegrl15]

@ozanddanarehoMo based on your naive comment, YOUR the idiot in this case. you clearly dont understand what im getting at and you CLEARLY dont keep track of trends and fashion :)

[turkishdisco2]

@naminegrl15 surely you mean before his time? i don't see anything original about his style, it's all borrowed from the 80s, no?

[creepbehindyourback2]

dancepunk from the late 2000ws

[TheDopeDub]

Dubstep mix is much beter!!

[sam91117]

Honestly guys this is my cousin I swear it

The girl with auburn hair is Naomi esser

But my surname is chant

[JamieeTheGreat]

I remember waking up with a crackinghangover and hearing this on T4 and everything seemed better

[kiama30]

Loved that song but he has a weirdo empty look 2:12

[whwhati]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[oooohgurl]

THIS IS BRILL!!!

[deadline27]

@RubyRedOrDead9 probably their publicity managers lame attempt to promote their untalented music.

[TheCrazybunny92]

love this song! they were a supporting act for the kaiser chiefs one year and loved them!

[Pleskotritka]

funny thing is that a friend sent me this video more than an year ago and i didnt like it and never really heard it again, but the tune got stuck in my head and i remembered it sometimes for no apparent reason and just today i finally searched it and i just love it now :D

[MrZygoticmynci]

He's strangely attractive for an ugly man. Must be those tight pants.

[breadbutt]

are those chicks doing the sparkle motion dance!? awesome.

[danadoo96]

I don't understand why some people are hating on this video

He is inventive and unique

Like seriously calm the fuck down

If it makes you feel better go watch some beiber videos and put on some pampers.

Quit being a hater, if you dont like it don't comment

[nutsack666]

is this dude gay

[exbronco1980]

interesting, u don't actually see any headlocks in this video.

[krystalfuckinglynn]

This is fucking wack

[nutsack666]

@krystalfuckinglynn lol

[UAExGust]

This video is rly weird O.o

[closethedoor11]

i saw some guy at the mall that looked exactly like him(:

[xICUxKiNkYAfRo]

this is a classic tune, i come back to this time and time and time again

BEN ESSER IS KING

[bobbym47]

what the fuck is this shit

[rinsindishes]

i feel pretty stupid, couldnt figure out why i couldnt find the music having trawled through 20 pages of youtube, then sussed that i was looking for music by essa instead of esser... be gentle it was a long night yesterday.

[BeckyCole1]

omg ive been trying to find this song for ages! its great <3

[EmmieElectro]

Saw him supporting the Kaiser Chiefs, immense!

[inspiralroses]

Let him marry Rox! That'll be THE blaster of the year!!!

[danadoo96]

I love Esser

[lokmannz]

I have got a headlock since 3 Months

[Beatmyguest001]

I still love this song. <3.

[sei]

This song is fantastic live.

[redproject88]

worst song ever made... who does he think he is. if i ever see him i am going to grab him in a headlock and repeatly give him round house kicks to face

[ROXDJCUTIE]

this is sweet!

[2007catira]

I just love the part where he said '' I've got a problem. it's called living.''

I'm in love with this song!!!!!

[IIStEEDYII]

he looks like a pineapple :P

[MrGraffitiSnapback]

this is on my ipod classics playlist 4eva

[dgafecb1]

All Esser fans should listen to the Midnight Conspiracy dubstep remix, it does this song REALLY good.

[joe333halfevil]

The more i listen, the more i love it

[ggammbba]

MALISIMO!

[MrZer000]

2:23-2:27

Cute :-)

[bunburyZ]

This shit is DOPE and yeah kind of sounds like Beck.

[nocturnalbeauty94]

god he looks just like Puck from Glee.

[olijohns]

@nocturnalbeauty94 please don't compare him to someone from glee aha

[beatboy3]

fuck baddow school!

[ParamoreDudeess]

he is SO good in concert, its even better than the actual recorded tracks xD

[I3ruzer]

Haha something about this song is wrong and makes me laugh , but its cool XD

[nutsack666]

why is that black man wearing lip stick...and why does he have to be in the video?

[exbronco1980]

in the final scene of Under Siege 2, Seagal puts the main bad guy in a headlock and then breaks his neck. they should play this song during that in that movie.

[nutsack666]

you got me messin up all my moves

[David73Marie64]

seems like Talking Heads doesn't it ?

[inspiralroses]

Saw them live. Pure energy, cool basser, they know how to tie this ole mare called Rock'n'Roll. Stop compare bands to others, who cares if they sound like Beck. Why doesn't any body say, for example, that Beck sounds like Blind Willie Johnson?

[happynobirthday]

i like thise song but really, a smile wouldn't hurt :)

[GeorgeBguitar]

This is my tutors son

[inspiralroses]

@GeorgeBguitar Lucky guy ye are, ye bugger ...

[hamsterviril]

[patachu666]

2:16

now you feel the need to buy an hp printer. obey.

[I3ruzer]

[wertkonijn1000]

When this was a hit, 3FM DJ Gerard Ekdom couldnt get this out of his head... :D

[Joffan123]

[theshortcurlyguy]

@Joffan123 :)))) whatever

[Tim0freeman]

@Joffan123 Woops it's seems that a troll sneaked into this youtube page.

[cashisdeals]

[martincarr84]

It's all about the galleyHOOD!!! lol. Keep it going Ben mate!

[rudyprotrudy08]

I really like this. I like it when he starts laughing near the end. I like his hair and I like his clothes. Like, like and like again.

[usurper17]

What about 2:07 and the dance moves even though his arms HAVEN'T MOVED MUCH lately?

[meckaleckahi]

[exbronco1980]

the british accent is amusing

[Chentogoa]

Is he gay????

[Sidewalker93]

just because he's a hipster doesnt mean he is gay duuh

[Chentogoa]

never said because he's a hipster he was gay duuuuuuuhh back at u !!

[atvffbdc]

il sounds a little bit like Beck.

[enigmaCSS]

@atvffbdc sounds like Mount Sims

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

This song and "Bulletproof" by La Roux have been growing on me recently. When I first saw the vids for them, I didn't think I'd like them. But after a couple more views...I love them both :)

[robotwun]

i love this video,, really fuckin love it.. top tune too !

[vbecerra18]

they're way better live but this song is still fun. oh and i hung out with them last night YEAH

[rynox77]

That kids look at 2:36 cracks me up. Indeed... indeed...

[Wakamole132]

I saw them supporting the Kaiser Cheifs an was well impressed but listening to them on here is a disapointment..

GREAT LIVE THOUGH

[Anniemedina420]

Soooo fuckin sexaaaay!

[MDLF]

This sounds like Robbie Williams

[watcher18893]

i would totally do that redhead

[flyskater36]

agreed

[Dragnet3]

Dude ... I'm good friends with 'That redhead' - Don't talk about her - or anyone - like that. Come on man, have some decency...

[robotwun]

that red head is actually essers sister,, i doubt very much she'd have owt to do with you, CHUMP

[flyskater36]

@Dragnet3 i never said shit i said "agreed" so there for im just saying agreed she is hot and i doubt you are but w/e

[Jakobig]

Its Indie noob... maybe Alternative pop in jazz rhytm, funky & Etno mix or something else. Unidentified !

[XxLyndseyLifelessxX]

Exactly what genre is this?

And this is similiar to Beck's "Loser' but I would have to say they have a noticeable difference.

[MarioCarlos87]

Lol!

This song is sth else :-p

Love it tho...

[juggalonutterbutter]

I heard this song on the radio two weeks ago and loved it instantly! I had never heard of Esser until this song, but now I am a huge fan. I tried to compare Beck's "Loser" to "Headlock" and found no correlation.They are both good, but "headlock" makes me feel great! I haven't heard a song that makes me feel this good in probably ten years. Fuck yes!!!

[REPISAGOD]

Fuck Beck and Loser! this shit is 10 times better

[briznarks]

Love love love love love love love this song.

[SNAAAZZYY]

good song, but i dont like their album

[princedegale]

good song

[totalstranga]

stop me if you think you've heard this one before, but it IS like Loser, and I like it!

[SpaceCoastTrading]

The only thing that is similar to Loser, regardless of what even Esser says, is the chords. Other than that, the song is totally original. The lyrics and beat are far better than Beck's Loser. Don't get me wrong, I liked Beck, but Esser rules this genre. The WHOLE CD is great! So fresh after years of rubbish. Last CD I actually bought was Madonna's Hard Candy. So I'm picky when I buy. I bought Esser's CD the day I heard them on Music Choice. Massive potential! GO ESSER!

[pops4u95]

who are you to even disregard what the artist says anyway? If the dude agrees with the blatant similarities to Loser I don't even see what the problem. Both songs are frickin' awesome no need to compare them and praise one more than the other :)

[Aueneye]

I agree with you, this song is very cool. However, if you like the slacker genre check out 'Dirtbag' by Brad Sucks.

[dribbles1342]

Thats what I thought, too.

My mom was obsessed with it, and I told her they're trying to rip him off.

But now I love this song

[dumbassha]

saw these at a kaiser cheifs gig quality loved this track

[SpaceCoastTrading]

Just found this band. Very fresh and original in this day of synth-vocal rubbish. Love it! Already ordered and looking forward to the CD that's out! I hope to catch them live! Looks like a good groove. :o)

[26964210a]

fuck he is so sexy

[fob4life85721]

hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahaha­hahahahahhahahahahahahhhahahah­ahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahah­ahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahah­! lmfao :)

[achvoy]

Wow, he is really sexy.

[luizinchains]

Esser said that it's basically "Loser" from Beck with different words.

I totally agree with that.

[pops4u95]

No wonder I always thought this song reminded me of loser by Beck lol

[lilkaufman123]

i love this song

[midinerd]

yeah this is fuckin awesome!

[ghetto14289]

this my shit

[AllAboutMEHStudios]

It's stange, both me and my mum like this song, it is the only song ever where that's happened.

[murepoison]

well, its kinds of 80´s so maybe you have a "generation collapse" ..... :)
