Flobots - Handlebars

[EM0Princess96]

Love this song

[Thephoenixcat10]

this is my favorite music video

[MisterReginald141]

unlike most songs this one actually has a meaning and justified symbolism, basically the reason music was invented

[FABLE2MANAIC]

this song is just saying how life can be so good then you take another path and it turns evil

[PrinceMaxfield]

@FABLE2MANAIC Nope, its saying that we all strive to do the same things at the beginning of our lives, but then towards the end, they slowly get bad, or they branch out into different things

[annie10103]

I love how the colour scheme changed throughout the video. At the start it's bright and happy, but by the end everything is greyscale.

[annie10103]

God this is so sad

[glock287]

this song exploses everything  aka THE TRUTH

[bigboblikescheese21]

i swear when you listen to this alot it changes

[MisterReginald141]

@bigboblikescheese21 very true

[skrillexdude1]

XD :{]

[Gurkehh]

sup acta

[ItsMissManiac]

yes this song is popular. a lot of popular things suck. but this song does not. i 'm tickled pink. do not trust what you know as humanity

[Cameronnn1]

This song fucking sucks...

[LOJACKER123]

@Cameronnn1 how.

[fifki72]

@Cameronnn1 another 5 year old troll ,why are you watchin this !

[shnickleshnack]

@Cameronnn1 yet why are u here? 

[kakokapolei123]

This is the greatest description of Chuck Norris of All Time

[PenguinSean]

Yeah sometimes i ride my bike with no handlebars, witch inenverntly causes a holocaust. :)

[death9719]

i thought this kind of stuff was reserved for punk rock, anarchy in mainstream music, awesome

[chrisshadow49]

this means war

[Dickeenhigh1]

NO! Oh god, this song is stuck in my head its driving me crazy

[Dickeenhigh1]

every one has a cross roads and power in their life its just up to u how u choose to use it, and what path u choose to follow

[OOneDDoveDDown]

To me this song is about the differences between peaceful loving individuals and power hungry individuals. As the video shows the one friend is content with the life he has regardless of money or power. He has fun loving, happy people around him and he's happy with that. "I can keep rhythm with no metronome" Something that doesn't have a lot of power but he's content with. On the other hand you have the power hungry individual, who gets a taste and craves more power.

[LeSnickerdoodle]

@OOneDDoveDDown Life. You need one.

[MrJay50jay]

@LeSnickerdoodle Intelligence. You need some.

[LeSnickerdoodle]

@MrJay50jay I have enough so as not to post a paragraph of random "meaningful" shit. LOL.

[bob23416]

Good song

[maborian787]

We know so much but understand so little.

[jsgill101]

Totally just heard about these guys through their piratebay post on reddit. Mad respect...just bought the album on iTunes.

[NASkeywest]

kinda reminds me of cake.

[TheShimart]

@NASkeywest cake is a lie.

[lc81007]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG

[CROWcatalyst]

Perfect example of how the world is turning today. I wonder who the soapbox person will turn out to be in real life.

[ghajaanan]

Soooo, its a unicyle.....

[juiceboxx4life]

@ghajaanan smart ass

[Angela9021097]

this song was cute the first time but now it's getting annoying...

[Angela9021097]

I can't ride my bike with no handlebars

[chadbrochill61]

To me, this song is telling us that we are all capable of doing noble things, but we are equally capable of doing great evils. This concept is very true and has been demonstrated in Zimbardo's Prison experiment and Milgram's shock experiment. We have to actively monitor our behavior and recognize when something is wrong. Don't abdicate your power to an authority. Don't group-think. Be an individual. Be a hero.

[Mossycarrot]

Seattle WTO riots in a nutshell

[AudunTheViking]

i cant even ride my bike with no handlebars :(

[changchangmatt]

This song has many meanings and allusions it all depends on how you see them and how you chose to act after

[eleod113]

Still riding my bike with no handlebars

[Ktingles6]

sadly.. i cannot do any of these things...

but at least i can hit repeat

[omgpurple100]

I wish there where more songs like this and not all these songs about sex and drugs what has the world come to

[Music0Musica0musique]

I don't think this song has to do so much with the government. I think It's about how we, as human beings are capable of so much, peace and destruction.Any human can and has done every action he states in the lyrics.It's pretty crazy when you think about it, knowing you can do anything...makes you feel invincible

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

My reach is global. My tower secure, my cause is NOBLE, my POWER is PURE!!!

Yup that is me.

[GamerNinjaX]

@DarkPrinceNH5570 lol stupid XD

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

I can do all of this he said.

Guide a missle by satelite?

Lead a planet in a REVOLT?

I can make anyone goto prison?

Hit a target through a telescope?

I see the strings? LOL No I dont.

[GamerNinjaX]

@DarkPrinceNH5570 well. that. wasnt. funny. at. all.

[dantheman12345ize]

@GamerNinjaX and. you. dont. need. periods. after. every. word..

[wingedproportion555]

@DarkPrinceNH5570 But you can. And that's the point. We can all do these things. We all have that choice or will have that choice. And it all starts with the words "I can" (as shown by the lyrics "I can ride my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars..."). Humans are versatile creatures, and we all have the power to create or to destroy.

[MewKemiko]

This song is sooo random lol.

[dawnofFreedom42]

@MewKemiko Uh, no. Too deep for you?

[browntw33n]

hate nevada add

[goodbuy12345]

Why do it sound so cool but, why so sad too

[YahdaTheYT]

My favorite part is when he can ride his bike with no handlebars.

[sawwdustxP]

Sounds like are past, or is it the present?

[thuanzo123]

@kkadslv don't be disappointed by the views, appreciate the song and the fact that is is still here.

[kkadslv]

@thuanzo123 Who said that i don't appreciate it?

[wojtekx8rx]

Czekamy na to w Polsce. Acta podpisane? Zacznie się zabawa.

[xxaislinnbxx]

Just love this song.. Its message,and its simplicity. The Piccicato at the beginning represents (in my opinion) simplicity, however as the song goes on it becomes more and more intense and complicated,just like life.

[MrSuperpieboy]

@xxaislinnbxx you mean "pitsacato"?

[BexRanner]

It amazes me that people think this song is deep. Like if Serj Tankian wrote songs for Cake and didn't try to be clever or insightful but still wanted to pander to the Buck Fush crowd, Handlebars would be the end result.

[AxisDSTC]

Thumbs up if you air-saxed when the saxophone solo came :)

[SirSevy]

@AxisDSTC ask for thumbs up you shall recieve down

[EveYarnton]

I love this song. Brings me back

[iamawesome56781]

this song has changed my life

[castleAnthony]

the fuckin ads...

[nibbles798]

i can sooo ride my bike with no handle bars!!

[Amadeusx89]

Just like The Dobligator I had my own thoughts on what I thought this song was about. After watching the video, a new idea came- We all have the power to be great. To lead a "nation in a holocaust" but... it comes with bloodshed and consequences... It could happen to you or me. Interesting video, awesome song. Been listening to it for +3 years now. haha

[Rgeze]

coolest video when your high

[changchangmatt]

Well more and more haters does any one get it its not the goverment its big buisnes it was no longer the gov. If you saw on the front of the sheilds part of the USSR symble which means comunisum... Need I say more

[ThePinkDonutz]

911: Whats your emergency?

Me: Someone stole my Mp3!!

911: Is this a joke?!?

Me: It had Handlebars by flobots on it!!!!

911: I'll send the FBI!!!!!!

[assassin000x]

@ThePinkDonutz i just noticed how much 911 i symbolic....9/11.....now think

[evi1mohawl]

is it me or did this song just predict the future? XD

[TheDobligator]

When I just listened to this song and its lyrics, I had developed my own meaning to it and what I had thought the writers intended. If this video truly reflects the writers' intensions then I was wrong.

[hungrydude123]

YouTube view counts pre-VEVO: 18,313,639.

another fine video ruined by VEVO

[XRigomortisX]

FUCK U ADS

[CentralRemixes]

FLobots are one of the few cases in which intelligent rap is not an oxymoron. Bravo

[tolmauricio96]

@CentralRemixes you obviously arent into rap if you can think that. expand youre musical boundaries

[blackpuma70]

752 cant ride there bike with no handlebars

[Theagentorange1]

so basically a unicycle



[fenskinator]

46,356 people don't want a Holocaust.

[MrBadandrew]

752 people are members of the Rothschild controlled military-industrial complex.

[ghajaanan]

Thumbs up if you like green hands with numbers next to them...

please.... i feel so lonely 0_0...

[MarkQP]

@ghajaanan green numbers and regular hands you fucking moron fuck you

[rkan665]

@MarkQP you sir, just go the red hand

[MarkQP]

@rkan665 they removed that

[ghajaanan]

@MarkQP y so angry...

[acds413]

@ghajaanan I personaly like green numbers with hands next to them... but thats just me.

[geigoir]

@ghajaanan lol the hands not green thats the numbers xD

[TheKrankHead]

We need song like this one these days

[observerofdarkness]

@TheKrankHead who says this song needs to leave?

[killerz560]

@TheKrankHead in english please?

[sawwdustxP]

@killerz560 Tell me about it, he sounds Illiterate xD 

[putusernamehere123]

@TheKrankHead lol we dooo just press repeat

[ace6664]

This song is soooo awsome

[Snowflakes9492]

752 people will never get satisfied.

[hakanefe43]

Fuck system!

anyway

i love that song^^

[beyondyourpoint]

Government is supposed to be "we the people." It's not the problem. Huge corporations that infiltrate the government for their own agendas are the problem.

[someweirdone]

why the fuck does every one have to be so stupid?,if people actually new what the government does they would be fucking sick and want to kill them just like i do thumb's up if you do to,fuck the government..

[ShArInGaNaVaNgEr666]

@someweirdone If you actually knew proper grammar then maybe I could actually understand what you're saying.

[Jmontanez95]

This makes me think of nov 5th

[changchangmatt]

God dang it do people actually look stuff up before they type there are two forms of big gov. The one that ya is run by the corperations but the other is where the gov. has power over corp. thats what we need they can make corp. bring out jobs back from over seas

[f1rms0lac3]

who ever disliked this needs a strong kick to the cunt, several times

[zoogy7]

How about we stop talking about the government and how its bad and just enjoy the song

[shortRYAN111]

I can ride my bike with handle bars!

[mm67701]

recall the goverment recall the house and the sanate they have destroyed are once pround country and have destroyed the world post "recall the goverment" on every page on youtube

[ThirtySevenBee]

@mm67701 Wow, nobody is going to take you seriously if you can't even spell...

[imagoffygobber]

I luv this song

[fraanciscopodsurfcgy]

this is ta great song do not put "dont like it"

[MrTwixiz]

Such a strong meaning should be shared with all people

[Fonzy4528]

Goverment will not kill us, governments of the world got corrupt and tooken over with Corperate bankers/private companys. Thats the whole point of this song, he swaps mid song at 2:30, pointing how much power is to much power.

[Guppyrox92]

@Fonzy4528 A good majority of this countries issues lie with the government. If the government had less power so would the corps seeing as how corporations go through the government to get their power. You need to think a few steps further. Diagnosing a problem is like playing chess, if you look at the immediate threat and deal with it you often leave yourself wide open for a hidden ulterior motive. The corps use the government to rule us. less government = less corporation power.

[rubikscub24]

this songs is depressing in a good way

[mangareader299]

this song right here was the one that opened my mind to music and horrors of life with its greatest of treasures.

[ShadoBlackwings]

I can solo mid with no teleport... no teleport... no teleport...

[shadowBoltzs]

I wish that this country wasn't going twards Big govenment. I want the old govenment back :(

[FROSTEDxSHREDDIES]

AMAZING song

[AirForcedude5]

It's true that big government will kill us all.

[colonelsimone]

amazing song

[superbuu122]

Sad part is.. this song is true 100% Resident Evil is real people. Realize we're the zombies useless to the planet now to the people with the most money.

[sandernson10]

Hard to use on iphone

[TheAvidMARK]

Dis goin 2 happen

[Winterfrost00]

Chills, inspiration, and adrenaline...

[changchangmatt]

I feal like commenting but after all ive read I really doubt anything can get through all your thick skulls so I will just lean back and laugh at people who think they are smart

[Reptilico]

Revolution

[MrGAMERZ101]

the power of one..

[Reptilico]

Im pretty sure this is going to happen in the USA soon.

[Mrn00bz0rz]

I can block the web with the government, with the government, with the government

I can end the world in a Holocaust, in a Holocaust, in a Holocaust

[Mrn00bz0rz]

I can ride my bike with no metronome, no metronome, no metronome

I can keep rythme with no telephone, no telephone, no telephone

I can see your face on the microphone, on the microphone, on the microphone

I can lead a nation with a handlebar, with a handlebar, with a handlebar

I can split the atom of a satellite, of a satellite, of a satellite

I can guide a missile by telescope, by telescope, by telescope

I can hit a target through a molecule, through a molecule, through a molecule

[BassDude50000]

i can grief a server with no client hacks. no client hacks, no client hacks...

[frank1738rhcp]

the part that says "i can see your face on the telephone" should be used in an iphone ad

[MrSevenEleven]

I think i've never seen so many retarded comments on a music video

[miner9ner]

This is a cool parody of Temp0's song APM

[MrBrandonXP]

@miner9ner You must be mentally ill.

[Rayce002]

This was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar, and I still play it today, 5 years later. The Flobots did an awesome job with this song!

[whaaa915]

fuck the government



[TheMumsleyShow]

this is one of the only songs u can listen to for years and never get bored of it!

[EwokVengeance]

Moral: Men who ride bikes cause holocausts.

[Th3BurningChild]

@EwokVengeance "The moral of the story is, you can't trust the system!"



[poisonedclaw]

this video makes me think of a scene from the bible, but twisted and added to...the one who rises to power is the anti-christ, and the one who leads the rebellion is the christ...this is coming from one who is closer to the pagan religion, by the way, but it is something that makes one think, you know?

[ThePuestir]

"I can make anybody go to prison just because I don't like 'em"

"And I can do anything with no permission, I have it all under my command"

The US goverments new motto.

[tommyisastrategist]

749 people have no drive in life. 

[gatorguy1115]

This is the best music video ever made

[AdolfHippster]

never really got a hold of the story to this song, is it just a song about revolution and maby even civil war, or am i just dumbfuck retarded for not seeing the point this song makes?

[wingedproportion555]

@AdolfHippster Even though people are saying it's about big corporations and gov., it's really about the human condition. We look at corporations and gov. as separate "entities" even though they are created by people like us. The song is really about how we all have a choice to affect the world we live in. And it all starts with the words "I can." We could do all of the things he listed, or we can choose not to. The song represents a battle within ourselves.

[MuffinSage]

I believe this can happen and cause trouble but it is going to be a war between the Outkats in society, the wealthy vs the government and such a revolution should be given a name The V-R3VOLUTION join or be destroyed

[TheFutyu]

harry and brandon..

[plehalexpleh]

Revolution

[Frikicomputerwizard]

749 ppl can't ride their bikes with no handlebars

[plehalexpleh]

why is there a fucking advert before the song?!?!?!?!!?!?

[joshhan]

Well, that guy is definitely not a hipster. His bike has more than one gear.

[WiddopJames]

the title should be "I Can"

[changchangmatt]

Put out the truth for people there is no america there are no countries just humanity and even with that humanity is self destructive we all have a voice inside wether you quel that voice or let it burst out I only hope your voice is one of peace not war

[hakanefe43]

@changchangmatt i dont think so search some document from google ıraq innocent people afghan innocent people no i dont think so

if There is no america nothing change....

[XxKoWaLsKixX101]

This song is beyond words... but I wish more people would listen to the song and not argue about insignificant topics that aren't even relevant to the priceless lesson; about how greed, power and pride can consume a person and destroy an amazing bond of brotherhood, and that they won't stop until it's too late.

[fraanciscopodsurfcgy]

awsome



[itsbillistic]

they should add

"I can censor a whole country's internet"

[TheCoolShortz]

@itsbillistic already done in china buddy

[Xetelian]

@itsbillistic You sir said something epic win

[TheFolkes1]

@itsbillistic a whole worlds internet more like it

[Misteryodavid]

You guys I have an English project! I don't know if anyone could help me but it would mean soo much!! Does anyone know what how this song is satirical and what is the true meaning of this song? IF ANYONE can HELP at all that would mean so much and it would be very helpful! Thanks everyone who sees this and if you could thumb it up so people could see it would mean a lot. Thanks!

[Zewofo]

@Misteryodavid How is this satirical? This is a true tragedy.

[HexMixture]

@Misteryodavid Check out the wikipedia page. Pretty good explanation there.

[Arcrinsis]

@Misteryodavid i don't think this song is satire

[pushthetempo2]

You should read the lyrics and try to think about what they mean. Its about the 'freedom' of the western world, and capitalism and the corrupt systems we live in, that are fuelled by greed @Misteryodavid

[Salien1999]

@Misteryodavid The message is that when you let the government get TOO big and have too much power things can get out of hand. I would guess that satirical in that the two friends are showing their lives off to each other. One is "I'm a famous rapper, I have all the money I need and lead a happy life" while the other is "I lead multiple businesses and have all this power". You get what I'm saying?

[gewoonikke1113]

@Salien1999 It's not the goverment but the big company's

[Salien1999]

@gewoonikke1113 Well the corporate friend begins with companies, bet then takes over the government. This is represented by him saying "I can lead a nation with a microphone" and the background changing from the corporate sign to two American flags.

[Chimichongas79]

This song brings me back good times

[xParillox]

Hey people who like this song! YOU should go listen to their other songs like: Stand-up; The Moon; or There's a war going on for your mind. Great songs.

[MrBrandonXP]

America in a few years.

[swedmeva2]

This song hits you with chills.
