  • Wen was this song made?

  • One of my favorite songs by them. On one hand I'm glad people only know of Edward Sharpe, but on the other I wish people just KNEW.

  • Sounds of early punk bands in parts

    Looks like early Iggy Pop in parts

    Dances like Gary Numan.

    Good in my books!

  • No way, Ima Robot was unique. They had an awesome style, different, and now...

    I don't know, it's not the same. And I know all of the "bandscannotstaythesameforever stuff" but in my opinion they've change too much to keep being Ima Robot, they've lost their characteristic style.

    I'm not saying Edward sharpe & the magnetic zeros shouldn't exist, just that I miss the old Ima Robot so much.

  • @maskof

    A Bit Of Nothing!!!! All their own!

  • A bit of early XTC, a bit of Iggy Pop, a bit of early Costello, a bit of Bowie. Explosive.

  • I love the energy this band has

  • Yeah, this is definately a story for the kids, lol

  • I would like this song doesn't end

  • That guitar riff is soooo sick.

    

  • for everyone listening to this and saying hes a poser... think back to the beatles.. they started as a pop band and then started making amazing rock music

  • Most underrated band ever.

  • @dontneedwingstofly so so so true

  • omg woww he has changed so much since then

  • I think I just love this guy...I like this and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

  • @epaRraW

    He's a poser.

  • @Shirokinukatsukami May he be a poser, jesus or the anti-christ I still love his music!

  • @Shirokinukatsukami What a meanie.

  • This shit is way better than Edward Sharpe

  • heehee! love this song...forgot about it! so glad i found it!

  • Not alot people will get into Ima Robot, but know Alex Ebert was and is all about the fans. Agreed with everyone Edward Sharpe is fricken awsome.

  • They sound like a calmer and better version of MSI.

  • This song always makes me want to drop acid. 

  • It was the DRUGS!

  • wow that so weird i was listening to edward sharpie and the magnetic zeros yesterday and i didnt even know that was the same singer and i decided to listen to ima robot and wow

  • this song is super gimp wit it

  • And there are dislikes on here....why?

  • This is awesome and so is Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeros

  • This takes me back to the N. That was the first time I saw this. And i loved it instantly.

  • He started edward sharpe after a horrible breakup,he says he ideas about life changed then. Edward sharpe is about a guy to save the word that gets distracted by girls and love.

  • I get SO EPILEPTIC every time I listen to this song. Make me want to dance over the walls and ceiling like a f*cking cartoon.

  • regardless of how they spell, 15 year old girls never have relevant things to say. Why do they bother?

  • man...this is so fucking drastically different from edward sharpe. i mean, REALLY different. i understand this was a while ago..but damn. totally opposite of each other. i like both, (well, that's a lie, i like edward sharpe a bit more..) but holy shit!

  • I have a lot of respect for Ima Robot but I like Alex better as an approachable, down to Earth hippie. That said, keep splitting your personality into more bands please. Hopefully with even more truth.

  • sounds like billy talent lol!

  • This song is genius!

  • Holly shit! Alex is bad ass!

  • I swear he sounds like the robot from Yo Gabba Gabba.

  • @lynzzizle92 Plex!!! Nice observation!

  • some how in this vid he reminds me of Pee Wee XD

  • Alex ebert comes off like a piece of shit for acting like he's straight off a 60's commune after making music like this so recently, its still great music but it just seems disingenuine

  • @spankycorkforker I think its less about making music from an era, and more about trying to have the music represent that new moment in your life. Ima Robot's vision was frantic and apocalyptic, and Edward Sharpe is more positive and hopeful.

  • I was huge into Ima Robot and saw them play a couple times way back then... i've been really big into Edward Sharpe and Magnetic Zeros since i saw them at Coachella... saw them last night again at Sunset Junction... and just last night realized Edward Sharpe is Alex Ebert... what a brainfuck!

  • wow. Alex is a freakin chameleon! so different from Edward Sharpe style

  • this song is GREAT!!! i LOVE the video as well. especially those funny costumes they wear at the end that looks like they have tentacles. that is so cool!!!

  • lol edward sharpe and ima robot are totally diff. but i support both bands.

  • Comment removed

  • edward sharpe is way better hate this,, go alex!!

  • Dammit! Where have I heard this song before?!

  • i bought this cd i think almost 7 years ago now, and its still one of my favorites

  • "You make my world so shiny bright" <3 :D

  • es viejisíma y pego chido un rato, a mi me sigue gustando es tan energik, aunk fue su único exito k pegó...

  • this song sucks big time honestly whats up with 2:00 its retarded

  • @extremgamer2008 So, are you saying that the SONG sucks... or just that you don't get the VIDEO?

  • @EPidemic489 yes it sucks the bass is good but thats it and they seem stoned or something haha

  • i luv the guitar parts

  • Haha 2 minutes I was like WTF

  • 2:00

    dont you hate it when that happens?

  • este weon va pa atras ahi estaba en los 80's y ahora con edward sharp esta en los 70-60's

  • This is the best fucking song ever. No fucking joke.

  • OHHHHHHHH my fucking god! I loved this song when I was like 11 or 12. I never knew who it was. I feel complete.

  • omg this was my fav song when i was in like in middle school

  • what happened to him? can any person totally change? or he is just pure artist from what i see.

  • @iluvaon Some people can just have life changing revelations when recovering from addiction

  • alex ebert rules!

  • i wish i could see them I think they did come here once but they played in a bar =/

  • I found this signed CD when I went to the Bay at Amoeba for 5 buck. I think that's actually the last CD I ever bought after that pure vinyl haha. and this was in 05.

  • i remember this from an old mtv promo back in 04'

  • 2:00 crazy shit^^

    Ageless lp

  • this should be on Guitar Hero!!! is it?

  • touche

  • U SUX.

    I am so happy I don't usually type like that.

  • nice ! but a little bit too short =(

  • i suck my own

  • Gotta love this band, nice moves.

  • Sometimes, it's hard to believe the same dude who sang for this band is doing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros right now.

  • Duuude! I know.

    I like it tho...I like how he's completely unpredictable.

  • @interpolluter29 I was thinking the exact same thing. A million light years away from Ed Sharpe and Co

  • @interpolluter29 not just sometimes, ALL the time

  • @interpolluter29 whoah u serious?

  • @interpolluter29 i knew it was his voice! it's so distinct.

  • @interpolluter29 you got to love the power of mushrooms... they saved him i think. yaya lets all fry and cure our minds

  • @interpolluter29 It's as simple as this is music written on drugs and Edward Sharpe is music written while drinking.

  • agreed, im trying to get into ima robot but im really into Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeros. It certainly is different

  • @MrWiltse of course. of course.

  • @interpolluter29 it's not that hard to believe. =) He's just a crazy guy--- Crazy good. =)

  • @interpolluter29

    im just after finding out, WTF, thats crazy, hahaha alex is crazy

  • @interpolluter29 Its called trend and drugs

  • @peaceskypeace13 hahaha that is so true XD

  • @interpolluter29 i love how he's doing that now...didn't really like ima robot >_<

  • @interpolluter29

    I know right!!!!!!!!!!!!! isnt he A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!...Its crazy how we can be so opened minded..and soooooooooooooooo talent!

    <3 ALEXANDER!

  • @interpolluter29 Sometimes it's hard to believe that that same guy originally wanted to be a rapper.

  • @lanaevictoria99 True. And I heard the older stuff. He could flow with the best of them, I think.

  • lol cracked up a the bit at the end with the suits that's classic.

  • HERES A STORY FOR THE KIDS!

  • Great track !,,,

  • punk is dead

    IMa robot rocks:D

  • he sounds like the lead singer of billy talent, no?

  • punk sux bad

  • thank christ this isn't punk then huh, idiot?

  • why didnt you just type "sucks" instead of "sux"? you saved yourself the effort of typing two letters, but in turn made yourself look like a 13 year old asian girl.

  • LMAO! that was good.

  • caswell01 u suc

  • I'm a 15 year old asian girl,

    and even when I was 13 I never typed "sucks" as "sux."

    Don't be so stereotypical.

  • @ManiacLime I've always found asian women beautiful. No offense or pervertness.
