Modest Mouse-Fire It Up

[mojomonkey16]

@MrMusashiden Saying that nickelback and lol Wayne is crap is perfectly fine but you must be able to accept criticisms towards your own opinion as well. Music is music whether you like it or not.

[Ronteria777]

I could listen to this like a gazillion times. Thank you for awesome music!!

[markbyersmith311]

Great Band....We know more of this type of music to hit mainstream not crappy voice-box T-Pain R & B

[OPMandalorian]

0:55 beautiful with the guitar i love this song. love this band.

[hmetalcowboy]

wow a week ass video for man-girls...that sucked

[OPMandalorian]

BAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS MOTHA FUACKa!

[lostsoul343]

This song is not about weed. "Hurrr durr, weed, am I cool yet, guys?"

[1620millitarytime]

@lostsoul343

Though i feel you big dog, I'm pretty sure that this song is about weed. "Fire it up"? "Is there enough"? There's at least allusions to pot shmokey-in' in dere.

[HalfTimesTwo]

@TheFNBM LOL I see what you did there. :P

[cardshark722]

i literally want to drive in a convertible, down a hilly road, in a fresh autumn breeze, with a joint in one hand AND BLARE THE HELL OUT OF THIS SONG! <3

[maddielovestoshop]

oh my lord re falling in love with modest mouse, IFBHFDS I typed youtube like yiuotudfe because I was so excited to listen to this

[originalmusic401]

this song is ment for anything, after school coming home eat song

[datlawls]

soooooo fucking dope MODEST MOUSE ALL DAY

[LosersIncorporated]

This song is amazing

[jayoung472]

Modest Mouse videos are always a trip. :p Love it!

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@ntgr Beautiful guitar player :)

[ForgeO2]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 thats jonny mar

[MrMusashiden]

its good to see younger people talkin about modest mouse instead of the new crap that nickleback and lil wayne call "Music". lets me know that there is still hope for humanity

[rhettgrace1]

@MrMusashiden holy shit let me tell you, people are fucking horrible when it comes to music. I'm 9th grade and only a few people know what music is. The first thing that a group of people start to like EVERYONE just eats it up. When I like something and it gets popular i just drop it. I would die if a bunch of people knew bout modest mouse.

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@MrMusashiden Haha :)

[blooduptomyankles]

@MrMusashiden if part of our society keeps it up, I will continue to hope that the remaining living of humanity has hope only by helping create what we want rather then sit back and let no one take charge

[krilla]

@MrMusashiden It's a damn great song. I have followed these guys from the beginning. I lived in Seattle from 97 to 08. The real fans who arent trying to be super snotty and cool still realize these guys can make "pop music" fucking radical..

[MrKinkFloyd]

@MrMusashiden couldn't agree more, i truly wish blizzards of atom bombs upon the likes of nickelback, i refuse to even mention the others name so as not to give him any unintentional publicity

[ChrispyTalks]

@MrMusashiden

I personally just found out about them and i cant stop listening to this amazing song, "FIRE IT UP!"

[K2AVideos]

@MrMusashiden It would be nice for them to talk about it now i'm tired of hearing all this crap people make with there computer...

[theomnomomnevor]

@MrMusashiden You would be suprised. HUMANITY IS STILL OKAY. If you ignore all of the assholes who try to ruin it for the rest of "us".

[ranndomness7]

is lupe fiasco gonna make a gay remix of this too?

[homandavidj]

smoke a blunt everytime :D fire it up

[momakesgoodmeatloaf]

Modest Mouse is so sexy

[SHIBBY7oh2]

"Fire it up"!

[MrRonaldPayne]

Modest Mouse = sellouts that I can forgive

[brierin420]

<3

[gregorybrandt]

I am smoking weed with someone who suggested this video. If you smoke weed, or like good videos, check out my channel. It's great stuff.

[tommyshooter25]

thats strange this video reminds me of the first time i smoked weed in the morning and i thought my head was on fire and the world was in those colors

[grasping4the]

I swear this song is about smoking crack cocaine though.

[grasping4the]

Man I fin adore this song

[oliveangekms]

[lobato114]

HAHAHAHAHAH you guys have such sad lives xD

[DjSpeCtr3]

is it weird if a webcam girl's music led me here?

[ex0genesis]

@DjSpeCtr3 If you are 67 years old and that girl was 12. Yes. Otherwise you're in the clear.

[lobato114]

hold up.its supposed to be a MUSIC video? bro i swear i thought it was a teaser.....do people actually listen to this stuff?? O__O

[GamersNewHaven]

@lobato114 The band makes more money than you will in your lifetime, So to answer your question where do you think the money comes from? SO YE WE LISTEN TO IT

[TheBlackRangerTBR]

@lobato114 It may not be radio material... But yeah... People listen to this... The lyrics are a lot of what captures the audience... after that its the tone Issac adds to the music... it furthers expresses whatever message he's trying to convey... The fact is... He is an amazingly comprehensive musician... A genius!

And I hate most radio tunes... And "Hurt" is actually by Johnny Cash if you didn't know... Listen to his version... Your skin will crawl and evolve into a creature with wings!!

[TheBlackRangerTBR]

@TheBlackRangerTBR I've been corrected... I had the history of the Song "Hurt" all wrong... My apologies to you lobato114... But I'm not wrong about Brock's Creative Genius!!! Just had to throw that in there...

[TheBlackRangerTBR]

@lobato114 It may not be radio material... But yeah... People listen to this...

[Bunji2k6]

@TheBlackRangerTBR Hurt was covered by Johnny Cash, with a few lyrical modifications to better suit his tastes, but the song is originally by Nine Inch Nails. Got nothing against the JC version, as he made it his own, but I just thought I'd mention it.

[wiancar]

@lobato114 just check the likes, comments and number of visits. Are you really thinking before opening ur mouth or texting? bro I swear i thought it was a teaser... do people actually act like u in real life?? O__O

[MrFruiteH]

@gaberondon Cool story bro

[Illumiplasty]

If there is a God, he truly blessed Earth by giving us MM.

[bdebramo]

when people say a band changed their life i usually roll my eyes, but honestly modest mouse has done so much for me. they got me through a shitty time and i just really love them. ahhhhhhh.

[thomasksanger]

@bdebramo Hell yea, I like it mainly because not alot of people listen to it. And it`s HELLA unique! XD

[rocknrollkittens16]

@thomasksanger i bet your from cali cause you said hella... so awesome x'D haha LOVE THIS SONG

[darkwatchesvideos]

These guys have long been my favorite band. Ever since my buddy burned a copy of  The Lonesome Crowded West for me, I've been in love. These guys have a direct line to my soul and there isn't a single song by them that I do not like. So Fire It Up youtube, spread the love.

[TheSwagtastic17]

member wen modest mouse had float on dashboard fire it up and all that good music? great times great times now its all this pop trash like britney spears n shit ugh america......

[shadowkrai]

@TheSwagtastic17 remember when people could listen to what they wanted to without all these elitist cunts telling them they're wrong, uhg people...

[icygood101]

@shadowkrai Hell is other people. - Sartre

[BRICI06]

excuse me,while i go get stoned to this

[llBrandxNewll]

@BRICI06 Excuse me while I join you =]

[irishpanda2000]

I dont care if some random stranger dislikes this. i like it, is that not enough for yourself?

[REGRETAM1N]

i swear they got the bass eq wrong on this album



[macmac129]

@REGRETAM1N everybodys a critic

[defsownds]

modest mouse is my favorite to jam on my guitar to. i believe we are kindred spirits.

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

I remember when I got their album with Fire It Up on it. That was on Christmas back in 2007 when I was in 6th Grade. Now Im entering 10th Grade. Years just fly by...I remember the feeling of listening to it in bed at night when I had my MP3. What a beautiful feeling I'll forever hold in my heart. :)

[xHowComeYouSuckx]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 Gotta love when music does that to you.

[GamersNewHaven]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 Im in year 11, I know whatcha mean mate

[taylorjcollins91]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 I'm so jealous that you heard of them so early on. I started listening in my freshman year of high school back in '05. Wish I would have found them years earlier.

[Phamster92]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 Seriously man, you enjoy those years. Before you know it, you'll be in college complaining with your friends about how old you guys are.

[Seattlenwhc]

@Phamster92 Hell yeah. I always do that. Haha

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@Phamster92 Haha :)

[SirJohnBonham]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 I remember getting this CD back in 8th grade lol... Spittin' Venom was the song that stuck with me the most. Either way, I have so many songs and albums that just bring back the best memories... I totally know how ya feel... Some of my favorite moments in life are when I'm tired as shit and slip on a an album through my stereo. Either way, live it up man. It's my senior year, and I'm doing everything to try and make up for all of the experiences I wasted the last few years.

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@SirJohnBonham Spittin' Venom is my favorite too! :) I love the trumpet! 

Hope you have a good year!

[robobroski]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 this came out my senior year of high school IM OLD :((

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@robobroski No you are not! haha :)

[Jungleland932]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 Cool Story Bro

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@Jungleland932 THanks :)

[csherenow]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 I've been listening to these guys since I was an infant. Now I'm in 7th grade.

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@csherenow Haha thats good! :)

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@csherenow Cool :) Great taste in music

[HalfTimesTwo]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 You've clearly had some nice memories as a child.

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@HalfTimesTwo Im lucky :)

[danplusplus0]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 You had some damn good taste for an 11 year old.

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@danplusplus0 Thanks :)

[raphaelisgod]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 I'm guessing you've "fire[d] it up" by now, which musta brought a whole new meaning to the song.

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@raphaelisgod Haha, nah. I stay away from drugs.

I dont want my mind to be screwd up, haha

[135indie]

Issac Brock said that he said fire it up in the sense of turning over a car. He does however smoke pot and said it can go either way. so everyones right.

[THEBLACKDRAPES]

HEY YOU. Looking for a good new and original band??? Check out my band at this channel. We write our own songs, with influences from bands like the Pixies, Arctic Monkeys, and Nirvana.

[lunersiccman]

@THEBLACKDRAPES Thats some good shit, im definetley gonna be buyin ur songs of itunes

[THEBLACKDRAPES]

@lunersiccman Thanks man! We plan to record another EP or Album in the near future.

[2B2as1]

What a great feeling Modes Mouse tune. "It honestly was beautifully done..."

[CorvairMonza1]

i have a feeling its about hot boxing a car

[avicary2929]

fire it up is definitely about a blunt not a car guys...

[fuckyeah69696969]

@avicary2929 or a blunt in a car.....lol

[Kazenokakera]

You guys know "We Were Dead..." is a concept album? Maybe if you listened to some of the other songs you might better understand what the song is about....

Maybe...

[nemoisafishyx]

Regardless of what the meaning of this song is, I still take hits until the song is over. Don't give a fuck what anyone has to say about the meaning, I make my own

[Oriente7]

@Pill88Dickle Oh but it does my friends...

[trogdortheenchidna]

They have said themselves that they knew the song would be associated with weed and didn't care. It's not about weed. Get over yourselves, children.

[beastcobain]

i just took the biggest bong rip...

i think i passed out for a second..

just thought id share that with you guys..

[SupaMarioX]

@Pill88Dickle I'm so white, I had to Google what "Cannabis" is.

[TheTrilbyWill]

@SupaMarioX that doesnt make you white. most of the dudes i know are potheads and white.

[SupaMarioX]

@TheTrilbyWill Need a dispenser here.

[TheTrilbyWill]

@SupaMarioX what?

[fuckyeah69696969]

@SupaMarioX LOLOL

[volcomhappyskater]

It doesn't matter whats its really about. Musicians want you to be the one to feel and see what you make of it based on your personal relations from the lyrics. You think its about weed then thats what its about. (I used to sing this every time i would spark up a fat ass bowl) i feel it is also. @Pill88Dickle I fly high on the cannabis hwy all the time.

[Zellps0]

@Pill88Dickle Oh but it does transportation of your higher vessel my friend.

[MyPiderman]

@Pill88Dickle i dident i said not to becaus i might have been wrong in the first place so im not trolling at all

[MyPiderman]

@Pill88Dickle im actually not being a dick kinda are i saw those lyrics and was waiting for u to reply i just thought u wouldent be such a little bitch about it

[motherdadder]

spafidspfsdg sdofjsdposjgo sdgisjdisjdgjofgdfg FIRE IT UP FIRE IT UP

[MyPiderman]

@Pill88Dickle i dont think it said anything about that but b4 u go being a dick im gonna look up the lyrics

[brownsugartant]

After listening to the song over and over again, and getting an expert opinion, it's easy to conclude this song is about when you try to light your fart on fire and you sintch your ball sack instead and your not able to grow hair on that nut

[TheLisetteMusic]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[101Sexypenguin]

the meaning of the song IS important! :O

[xqAustinpx]

Maybe he doesnt like the customer assistance at Stuff Ect. so he wants to burn it down. who knows. i think the orphanige's should watch out too though. just in case

[MyPiderman]

i wish the writers of songs would say wat thay wrote cuz some people thinks its about a car or war of weed

[lovefromeponine]

this song is OBVIOUSLY about toast

[Cjdance12]

i agree with the burning orphanages

[MVPacMan23]

Well if you listen deeply to the song you can pretty easily get to the core of it; he's clearly talking about burning orphanages.

[TheDethdeth]

this song is obviosly about THE WAR IN IRAQ

[ItssssJack]

@TheDethdeth I agree, the line "fire it up" is referring to the tension that the war has created in recent years. Nice catch man

[Svitlo37]

You people act like the internet-asshole counterparts of pretentious first year college students thoughtlessly pontificating about things they'd just read.

Stop arguing about what the songs about and just listen.

[ItssssJack]

@Svitlo37 That is a ton of syllables, very impressive

[Svitlo37]

@ItssssJack

Your sarcasm is top notch.

[MrGregjerk]

man who gives a shit. to me it means load a bowl and fire it up!!



[Guercinator]

yay!! 1,000,000 views! Finally!!!! :D :D

[deathpecan]

Cool things all the time

[TabooDrums]

I think you're all over thinking it, how about we just enjoy a good song.

[drizzleownsyou]

@Pill88Dickle have you ever seen half baked? those nigga fly all around town.

[chugulubbub0]

literally EVERY song written is about weed in some way to somebody who smokes weed. That's called "having a substance abuse problem". Go back to pink floyd.

[DrRisk01]

The only lyrics I know are "Fire it up." lmao.

[cryptlord17]

I beleive its about getting high

"We pushed off we're rolling boulders

Crashing down the mirrored stairways

Two of life's best mine canaries

Fire it up, fire it up

When we fix the carburetor

Then we'll push off once again

In an hour or so later"

Herion.

[Guercinator]

@cryptlord17 um, no. carburetor is a car part. read the lyrics a little bit more carefully and you'll see it's not about weed. But does it even really matter, it's a damn great song and let's just enjoy it for that!

[DURTAe]

@Guercinator its about life

[theJDcator]

It's by Modest Mouse; it's probably not 'about' anything in particular. You people read way too much into this.

[BirryZzz]

Eh I see the argument going either way. The cool thing about music is people relate to it in there own way. I see subtle hints of some "getting high" material in it fer sure tho!

[HornedWarMachine]

@Pill88Dickle It does, to another world! Full of a populace where the majority is lazy and is only concerned about sex and things idiots would worry about!

[TheMrEpicFail]

Weed car nuff said car taped windows 1.3 grams and a lighter and fire it up in our brocke down transportation so cars and weed ooooooohhhhhh

[SuperHypnoWave]

This finally hit 1,000,000+. Awesome

[fdpirigyi]

"we ate all of the oranges off the navels of our lovers, grabbed a book and read the cover" More proof that it's a song!=P

[connorb1551]

I think its about him taking a road trip with his friends really stoned, problem solved

[GameDevil1000]

To the weed/car argument going on, it could be that transportation is symbolic. For being high. Like taking you to different dimension man! TRIPPY! Not that I care what the eff it is either way.

[gnome0freakV2]

does it matter if it is about weed or not? still a cool song to blaze to.

[brakechrist333]

weed does provide transportaton.you are just not smoking enough

[NellyKelly03]

Modest Mouse has been my favorite band for two years, I can't imagine them never being my favorite band, it would probably be a nightmare.........

[missysisi013]

wooo smokinn weed iz sooo k3wl lemme flaunt dis shit on youtube so ill look lyk a cool p3rson. YAY IZ LOOKZ KOOL

[MrRapRockClassic]

"And when we fix out carburetor we will push off once again" more proof it's about a car :) but i love how modest mouse makes it so even an argument is pleasant and friendly x3 :)

[ChloeVilar]

@MrRapRockClassic I'm not saying this is about weed, but there is a carburetor on a pipe.

[joalco3]

@Pill88Dickle cannabis most definitly does, it transports you to a whole new universe

[germanbambi]

Everyone has their right to make subjective interpretations from what they hear, why the hate?

[biancaquezada1]

@Pill88Dickle though cannabis isn't a form of transportation, it can provide it. "ass grass or gas, no one rides for free" 

[BrandonWheelr]

I don't give a fuck what this song's about, I'm blazing to it. Modest Mouse kicks ass.

[minusthebear59]

@Pill88Dickle Haha if you smoke enough it does

[jas0ngray]

i love weed just as much as everyone else. i just dont need to let everyone know on a youtube page when the song doesnt even have anything to do with it. like the song for what its about. it just makes you like dumb " yeahhh broo fire it uppp. hey youtube i smoke weed!!!"

[MikaTheAss]

Why do people always try to relate any song with a reference to 'fire', 'smoke', or 'high' directly to pot? There's more in the world than that, even if that's all you do in your basement.

[sharding2586]

@MikaTheAss Pretty sure I don't live in the basement.. How ignorant.

[scott4525]

Stupid Pot Heads

[coffeemegs]

Who would dislike this?!!

[imcracka1]

lol, I know it's about a car but I still like to pretend it's about a joint.

[MrChocomonk]

If this is about a car that car was full of people on the way to get drugs.

[OneLoveUnite]

haha who the hell thought fire it up meant a joint?

[streetex101]

Such a great song =D Personally when I start accociating weed with anything I need to stop smoking for a bit.

[Kzoo7MI]

Thumbs Up if music is subjective.

[gumlessjoe]

Car or joint? Fuck, I always figured it was about taking a road trip in a shitty car and lighting up. If you never did that in your youth, you missed out.

[MrsFrancoloveandKurt]

A friend gave me a CD I didn't know the songs she put in it but I loved them. This is track 1. :)

[DSakaiOnRye]

The 72 dislikes are Osama's 72 virgins

[RyanBlob]

You people yelling about the song being about a car are obnoxious as fuck.. Obviously Isaac wrote the lyrics like this purposefully plus everybody knows Modest Mouse smokes so just stfu.. "Ooooo you're soooo smart you listened to the lyrics" rofl go to hell..
