  • Driver: San Francisco :D

  • The video and lyrics remind me of "Goodbye Blue Sky"

  • an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

  • That aint my comment above, these comments have been hacked, who uses the word "titties" for fucks sake!?

  • @tjmac7 tities are ace.. i love em

  • And if so, why do we keep electing demons to political power? A man, that is a hu-man, should want the best for hu-man-ity. A demon, only looks for the misery to feed off of and the continuation of that evil. Metaphorically or literally, they are not human.

  • A mans lust for power: That means we have no real way to save humanity. I am a man, yet I do not lust for power. There are many men that do not lust for power, but want the same equality and goodness for humanity that we all seek deep inside. So is it a mans lust for power or is it a demons lust for power that we allow into political decision making positions.

  • @3:00 till @3:15 is explosions in the sky :) is this darkness in you too? have you pass through this night? and also at 4min...

  • if you like this, you should check out Kidda -Smile

    itsa a pretty cool animation

  • In some moments I heard spanish words ¬¬

  • i KNEW

  • Bad video, -nice sound. wHERE URE GOINGNOTCOMINGBACK

  • "turns out, it was a funky ball of space tits"

  • @shavadavadava mighty boosh?

  • "What are You to Me??"..

    Some of the vocals are from the war film "The Thin Red Line"..

  • I love how the vocals in the video were also used by Explosions In The Sky for their "Have You Passed Through This Night? song :) I love Unkle.

  • this video freaks me out...

  • wow

  • U dig this, check out Laurie Anderson - O Superman - see one of the most prolific performance music artists of our time doing stuff with music, words and ideas 30 years ago. You just might like it. (They tend to call her the female David Byrne and there is some connection but not that much).

  • Brilliant. Love Unkle.

  • This may look cool if it wasn't such bad quality.

  • It's what we deserve!!

  • loco and depressing

  • I think it's about the weakness of humanity, easily succumbing to any form of seduction, letting itself become part of a (monstrous) enemy force or just turning "a blind eye" on the crimes being comitted... I believe it's supposed to make you think about how far you change(d) your honours and beliefs to fit into society (oh well, that sounds very pretentious, sorry)

  • ther's only 1way: fcuk the system

  • their teeth at the end are terribly hypnotizing

    Ruth Lingford, well done!

  • moral of the story is...

    dont go suckin on big fat titties when you dont know where the bitch came from.

  • @tjmac7 EXACTLY

  • woooow! that's so particular!

  • amazing....

  • MAXIMUM RESPECT TO JAMES LAVELLE

  • talk about symbolism

  • I'd love to have it in better quality, hd or sth :>

  • A lot of UNKLE Tracks are mixed with Vinyl and even their albums sound distorted a bit, but maybe not this time! I think it add's to it Sounds A lot more artistic like that in my opinion!

  • I think this video might have mindfucked me...

  • Back in those days MTV could send this kind of shit straight into our living rooms and we'd have no choice but to watch it...

  • back in those days were you so stupid you couldnt change the channel.

  • I didn't change the channel because it was great. You missed my point.

  • that was.......disturbing.

  • Powerful video... Hits right home. It's too bad that this is the way things really are..

  • This reminds me of music from the 70s... i have no clue why it justr does and i love it,

  • Probably because it uses lyrics from Ball of Confusion (1970) by the Temptations.

  • Well that could be why then ^ ^.

  • its us!

  • Deffo us, to a "T".

  • That was one of the most amazing and thought provoking music videos I have ever seen.

  • omg :0

  • Stupidest lesson of the bible - eye for an eye - atom bomb for an atom bomb!

  • got a touch of war from Frankie goes to...

  • the same thing happened to me, i think there's something these songs share

  • this just surreal and bizarre

    at the same time its just too fucking cool!

  • 3:48 = rape

  • Simply an awesome song. Noice drop.

  • who made the video?

    where can i find more of this sort of animation?

    thanx great vid, has many meanings =D

  • Gideon Baws (aka shynola) directed it. Sadly he passed away last year aged just 33 :(

  • I'm never watchin a cartoon again...........chilling...bri­lliant

  • piece of art the title.. so deep..

    that is what god said after the judgment of all humanity ... eye for an eye.....

  • my 4 year old sister doesnt like it

  • and you think thats so important that you have to post it here right?

    i mean it doesent depend on wether your sister likes it or not(i mean she is 4 years old)

    it depends on wether you like it or not

  • yes, it is important.

    are you working for the youtube/google corporation? who are you to tell what's important?

  • im telling it you...

  • i agree with jerumpl, is it really that big of a deal? and why is that?

  • is was a joke only, you guys make a big deal out of it

  • hahaha

    well the only realy way to watch this is when your really REALLY 'tired'

  • it shows people who were fine and happy until the planes, or 'the man' comes along and gets them to suck the tits of the government, then the goverment comes and turns you into evil black things with funny teeth (police, soldiers etc)

    maybe.

    i dunno this video can be interpeted in loads of ways

  • great song!..

  • Oh my God! I was shivering all over - this song is AMAZING!

  • well thats UNKLE for you

  • fuck the best song

  • Przefantastycznej urody nutka...kocham UNKLE !! 5/5* :)))

  • This is already the second song I hear with those lines. Both are great.

  • one of my favorite songs indeed.

  • favourite song of all time. :)

  • awesome video and track .. 5/5

  • the chorus is from "The Temptations - ball of confusion" :D good jam, and this is a damn good song too. Unkle is the shit.

  • One of Shynola's best music promos I've seen.

  • Erotic

  • they look scary when they bite

  • Very sad yet brilliant video.I'm waiting for the sequel where a new mutation occurs from their mass rape and the little marshmallow dudes grow big strong marshmallow wings and soar thru the air wiping out the venomous prong creatures.Go Marshmallow dudes go! ;)

  • I think you missed the point, their not going after the guys that did it to them, they're going to do it to other innocent creatures

  • i cant find this music in p2p softwares! ''/

  • amazinnnnnnnnnnnng , sampling " the thin red line " !!!! wow , this is just amazing, i love that movie !

  • i love that film, one of my favourites of all time, and UNKLE. perfect combo

  • Incredible, huge and awesome!!!! I always said Unkle is really something...

  • a musica é muito fodaaaa

  • the thing they drink of looks a bit like budha

  • yes you're right it's a great song

  • intellligent, horrible, and makes think and open your eyes a bit.

  • I love the song, and the video is one of the best ever!

  • Awesome video. It makes you think. Who's doing the vocals?

  • So.. what's the meaning of that butterfly in the very begining (opening the book) and last thing showing in the video before the end.

  • I think it's a symbol, because it actually apparently leads the black things back into the pod. When they're all marching, it views the butterflys face.

    I'm guessing it means that even the most innocent seeming thing can be consumed and transformed into evil.

    I dunno. I'm just guessing!

    =]

  • what child? this video was made in 2003

  • kind of reminds me of the idea behind missionaries too.

  • i think its about imperialism. the planes fly over the foreign country where people are living their lives happily and drop what appears to be some kind of trojan horse. the natives see it as a gift and start feeding off of it. before they know it, it blasts open and begins destroying their world and transforming them into versions of themselves.

  • i agree .. this was one of the most accurate interpretation i think.

  • wow they got there ass kicked!!!

  • which unkle album is this track on. I wanna buy it.

  • It's on "Never, Never, Land"

  • thanks a lot.

  • I think it has to do with the overthrowal of the human race as the dominant species of Earth.

  • what is the significance of the butterfly?

  • how bout chaos theory (the smallest thing even a butterfly flapping its wings can destroy the world)

  • maybe that even something beautiful still hurts something. and metamorphosis. the humanoids changed into a figure suited for retaliation.

  • you win, you jsut win

  • I just think it's how we keep feeding off the Earth, andk eep abusing this planet we're on and then one day MASSIVE BUGS ARE GONNA FUCKING KILL US.

  • Hilarious but possible scenario.

  • @NastyNotion as they should

  • stunning

  • ones being fed upon by us... i think the evil gnawing creatures that come out of the fat dude, or "America" represent the countries that we already control, that have already been sucking our tits, like the U.N. And then of course the little guys themselves just become more little wasps, controlled by us, the big fat guy.. and they go with us to do what we want them to... take over all the little dudes in other places. The final shot of them

  • I think its about America and the United Nations and stuff, and how America is turning all the other countries into a bunch of little Americas. Its like the little dudes are happy and content with their culture and way of life, working to get their food, content with their cherrys.. and then America, the big fat guy comes along and the little dudes see our power, technology, etc, and cant resist the temptation to suck on our tits and in doing so cause their own doom... and they are actually the

  • I don't get this.

  • this is so sad, i love unkle anyway but this video is amazing!!

  • We have some creative people in this world! I just lost 6 minutes and totally forgot about my world.

  • terror

  • awesome!!!!!!

  • just the real life...sad

  • "There are obstinate and unknown braves who defend themselves inch by inch in the shadows against the fatal invasion of want and turpitude. There are noble and mysterious triumphs which no eye sees. No renown rewards, and no flourish of trumpets salutes. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment, and poverty and battlefields which have their heroes."

  • "run run run but you sure can't hide"

    "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth..."

    The Temptations - Ball of Confusion

  • That´s so good.

  • What you see in the video, well, that happened to me too.

  • you were anally raped by giant wasps?

  • It's more common than you'd think.

  • Let's not get out of our thoughts. UNKLE has always done very eccentric music, and this video mirrors the song to the letter. ^^

  • WOAH! what did just happen?

  • Watch the video backwards, now that is truly scary.

  • i like the way you approached the video man

  • Although i think the meaning of the video is for people to percieve it their own way, my perception was that people came and conquered and built up an army, but that by dying, or getting killed by the attackers the peacful creatures thus became vengeful creatures, to take back an eye, but thus became controlled by the hate and loathing, and i think it shows the lengths people go though just for their own greedy personalities, such as killing people and enslaving them,And make them exact revenge

  • cont. And that the greed of the peacefuls showed what greed can cause, because it was, after all, in my opinion, the greed of the peacefuls that caused the thing that is dropped by the 'Evils' to open and kill them, and it shows what emotion such as hate, rage and power can do to people, and how power hungry poeple are to go and do that to a race of people who are peaceful, It is a very strong and moving video, and i think it is a fantastic piece of art, and the sound of the music is fantastic,

  • Cont. and i think UNKLE had done something truly amazing, and it has changed the way i percieve life and how i think of things, Completely Inspiring. Loved It. Thank you for putting this video on youtube. Also, just to clarify, all my posts should be read from the bottom post to the top, and yes, it is an opinion, so don't go and say i am wrong, because i will probably wreck you!

  • You're wrong I'm afraid!

  • who are you to say i am wrong if it is my OPINION, that doesn't make it wrong it just doesn't mean i am neccecarily right, but if you are so amazing then you tell me what IS right, if you know everything? you have no right to tell someone their opinion is wrong, and i think you are wrong, i dont comment on random peoples opinions and say, your wrong do i? go and find some manners joncolon

  • wrong! XD

  • wow man... take it easy...

  • o ok

  • Or maybe the insects lay their eggs in the cherries... eye for an eye.

  • Starts like a fairytale, then lust turns them into monsters.

  • I think this vid is very good bcause it allows the viewer to have his/her own interpretation.

  • art's purpose is to be beautiful not to be clever and have meanings... creates some feelings at you anyways (that's what you want eh?:P) but not very high ones

  • art doesn't have to be beautiful. a lot of art isn't meant to be beautiful.

  • DRINK COKE !!! ..and surrender your culture. great vid

  • lol, that's what I thought too!

  • He is quoting Mahatma Gandhi...

  • I love this video, its so powerful. It's like The Wall. Except soft and plushy.

    Brilliant song - I love how it ends so climatically...

  • does anyone know where the beginning tune is from by the way?

  • mozart

  • yeah - and the new music shows a new time in their lives or what? unkle's music is the evil one?... i still dont get it.

  • well yeah something like that, i dont really know what unkle's music is about, or if its evil or not, but it kicks ass though :)

    i think its up to you to come up with your own story, your own interpretation of what this movie is showing.

  • This movie is about Genocide

  • true art is not that which has meaning but that which creates it

  • why is there a classic theme before the "right" song? i dont get it :D

  • its to show how happy their (the little yellow guys) life was before the airplanes and the fat creature came, they where living their live without any danger whatsoever.

    at least thats what i think ;)

  • anyone know what the vids about? i reckon it might be another christian thing like rabbit in your headlights. the people at the start are happy and carefree, then technology and war comes, then one giant evil thing comes (antichrist) and turns all the ex-happy (humans) things into copies of itself

  • i think it's just a fantasy of the creator & everbody can make it's own story.. i'd say the message is not to be greedy or voracious, cause they were happy without the sudden food but couldn't resist it, while they didn't knew where it came from. and it turned out to be 'evil'-ish

  • How was Rabbit in your headlights having to do anything with christianity?

  • its a modern version of the christ story. it has a man walking through a tunnle repeatedly being run over (meaning jesus being treated badly) and if you listen he mutters stuff under his breath like 'san christo' which i think has something to do with jesus in spanish. then at the end it has him reaching out into a cross shape and the car gets destroyed which means the ressurection. also im not sure what it actually sais but one line sounds like 'christian sublamenite' or something...

  • Thanks..But the christ story is easily reconized in this one...But...Who knows? maybe UNKLE thought of it another way.

  • Actually I Got it! He his saying saint Christopher.

  • Carrot and stick I reckon! Great video!!

  • Genocide

  • i loved the song but wat the hell wat the video about

  • unkle haced rolas que valen la pena y este video esta muy chingon.. saludos

  • załozyłam pomarańczowe okulary i co zobaczyłam?

    wspaniałe!!!

  • This is a really cool video....I luv the music too.

  • WHEN WAS THIS MADE?

  • 2003
