Ra Ra Riot - "Boy"

[chocolizer]

drummer gets no recognition throughout the whole song

[Sm00thieD00d]

DAT BASS

[RavenRedFenrir]

This song...... Touches my soul...... (cheesy I know)

[MrKennyiskickass]

good song, terribly stupid music video though

[ProtossAndNeutrons]

Who gives a FUCK! if this song is too "mainstream"?

[nickblum97]

The girl playing the cello is lookin good

[NigarT]

@nickblum97 I'm horney for her

[timmybear48]

Why would they go mainstream.

[tpoucat]

Cats!

[ProtossAndNeutrons]

The people are like oods from Doctor Who with the lights lol.

[theK9freak]

This song is too mainstream for me now... It's all over the place. Still a rockin song though, loved the new album and their song Too Dramatic.

[03bryony]

@theK9freak - hahaha. "too main stream for ya" you're one cool hipster...

[bigbee99]

Is the bassist Keith Apicary's brother?

[RaRaAshley]

When I heard this song on a commercial...I freaked out. -3

[goose579]

KITTEEHHHHHH POWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[nincompoop22]

too many cute CATS!!!!

[surferaussie]

OMG RA RA RIOT steals my heart again.......

KITTEHHHHHHHHH! :p

[ThePigBlimp]

my god thats a bass line!

[natethegreat100010]

lol it took me untill the end of the song to notice the drummer in the background.

[bdjarvis]

At first seems kind of empty. However, it kind of grew on me, kind of gentle melancholy but gets cheerful beach music. Nice!

[lopapapapa]

pivot sent me here too touchpad rocks.

[moreautemps]

THAT VOICE.

[stravo119]

I love this song but I feel so bad for the drummer in the back

[VinDamonRouge]

@stravo119

Why??

[stravo119]

@VinDamonRouge

The rest of the band is in the entire video and I wouldn't have even known he was there unless I really tried to look for him.

[VinDamonRouge]

@stravo119

Lol 

[beachsided]

HP TouchPad Pivot sent me here

[silvertears63]

His voice is phenomenal

[tito2694]

In some way this was like TheBeatle ish modern.

[skullz841]

Guys what CD is this on?

[bargainmom]

This song is fucking awesome.

And bass guitar is amazing.

[Pshizle1]

they remind me of Vampire Weekend and he def sounds like Ezra

[meatnerd]

cats, eyes and that bass line.. Woah!!

[kahngu]

Not really into this band, but this song kicks ass!

[KrazyNinjaPanda]

Thumbs up if a Honda Civic commercial brought you here.

[lovespikyboots]

A bit of Vampire Weekend in them, eh wot?

[pumpitdown0x]

Great beat, instrument diversity and interesting choreography. though i kinda wish he changed up the melody in his voice.

[aqueezy1]

Welcome to Western babayyyyyyyy

[jgiuffra1]

Does anyone else feel the Police flavour to their music?

[tamiko2002]

イイネ！

[Marc0s1113]

Brilliant I wanna learn every word to this song.

[salesgirl24]

ra ra riot at wwu fffyeah

[Qlahskeyi]

Why is the bass not doing picks on the one beat? sounds sorta bad..

[masachoko]

この曲最高だよカズノリくん！！

[tinaguedea]

Without that bass player you would be a common band

[TSMerritt91]

@tinaguedea ya cause having a cellist and violinist is real common.

[nattybcute]

Cats.

[fivkups]

the singer kinda looks like sam from lord of the rings

[palmax256]

Caaaaaaaaaaatssssssss =^^=

[SirWillALot]

Unfortunately, turning the volume up does not bring me any closer to Rebecca Zeller.

[mjwright11]

Even the casual listener notices the bass play in this tune. Made me want to look this up just so I could see him play.

[Kupohunter]

Amazing bass

[Kupohunter]

I think Ra Ra Riot will be my next musical obsession.

[holyasdcow]

i just increased my volume.



[adocdizzle]

The kitties are what puts the video into aweseomeness territory for me.

[douglaslawre]

Justin beiber would be so much cooler if he dressed like the guy with the cool hat : P

[jerp30]

@douglaslawre For some reason I don't think his attire is the only reason he is unlikable.

[douglaslawre]

Vampire weekend #2 lol : P go ra ra riot !!!!

[mugginnn]

Saw them last night! Ahh, I love Ra Ra Riot <3

[jstroffolino]

@mugginnn at festival pier? me too! they are great.

[mugginnn]

[portert100]

[ilovejbf7]

[Aequee]

Yesterday was the day, when I discovered Ra Ra Riot for myself and I'm already a fan of this great band.

[suresimon1]

the bass sounds damn amazing!

[Mcnabbthe36]

[SpikeLee3000]

You gotta love a band that gets John Malkovich to tapdance in their video!

[Kewlkiddieluv]

[krylon2009]

Muchos gatos! ;D

[AustinLondonMustFeed]

Is it just me, or are they steadily getting better?

[byLivio]

the bassist is wearing some god damn tight pants,wtf!! lol

[usefulfriend]

he has lovely teeth.

[suune]

Finally a song that can get the Bass Guitarist laid

[pmwblindy]

@suune Lets be honest, no bass guitarist is ever gettin laid.

[AwesumSawce]

@suune haha so fucking true~ <3 bass

[MrBTdude]

Love the guitar timbre, and solo.

Fuck yeah.

[luluxxx89]

[cenrockon01]

[Ntarasiuk]

IKEA LAMPS!!

[garyteasing]

i remember when i heard about these guys, one of the gals, (violin or chello, i think chello. i dont know) her grandmother was in the book store i worked at,in phoenix AZ, talk me up about music and her grand daughters band and how proud she was. and because her grandma was so sweet and cool i gave them a listen and it was worth it. holy crap like 07 maybe. 08??? i miss that job. stupid i pad and kindle and stupid cool technology.

[Sciopero317]

Kitties!

[erykah0]

m enknta!

[SleepySlugBand]

17 people dont have hot girls in orchestra class.

[Cuppycake776]

@SleepySlugBand I'm in orchestra. :D

[cdavistwo]

@SleepySlugBand lol my orchestra was literally packed with them

[21scuderia]

i wish i was a chelo

[soccerjunkie7]

@21scuderia you would have top comment if you had the ability to spell.

[21scuderia]

@soccerjunkie7 i speak 4 languages my bad

[agirlcallede]

this song....is so catchy...i can't resist it

[youretoofastforlove]

I want a cat now =(

[maksusername]

Did they do everything wrong on purpose as far as cinematography goes for this music video? Nice song, but what the fuck is up with the lighting? Eye strain!

[iLegend54]

@maksusername Yes thats the point.

[Jammerkevin]

Ra.... Ra.... Riot! ! ! ! Syracuse University in the house, ya'all :-) I've seen this band many, many times and yes...You can definitely rock out to an upright cello and a violin! ! !

[BBQPeanut]

@Jammerkevin How else would a cello be played? Like a xylophone?

[Ningirsutyr]

@BBQPeanut The reply to your question lies within the video "Black No. 1" by Type O Negative. Look for the late Pete Steele in it ;) Btw, I started to like violin after seeing this video ;)

[malamalaful]

15 people are straight

[MuseGeneration]

Why does Rebecca Black have more views than this? This makes me sad.

[golorfindel]

The bass line its the same as Y Control, from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, just at a different beat. Awsome song, but when i hear it i cant avoid relating it to the YYYs song.

[lynnfamily4]

Ahhh! The cats! So many cats!

[BrianCulticeMusic]

wait... this is the song that the hipster bitch played on Royal Pains

[mrpez01]

Although it is really cool and impressive to see an upright bass and violin in a band like this; you just can't "rock" around with it...

[Moonspell360]

Nerdy high school pop music

[niugget]

I saw them live last week and they were glorious, they were so much fun to watch and everyone looked like they were really enjoying what they were doing. Definitely one of my favorite bands!

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

Jeez, it's just not natural to be this fucking giddy off of a song.

[xbr00talxc0rex]

Favorite song by them

[kitasenju48]

Thanks a lot for uploading this! I love you! :D xD

[XcharendaX]

I love love love this song

[YETEproductions]

the bass is so damn hard to play along with

[Stellbell33]

i love the tap dancing guy! and the cats. and purty much everything else :)

[Stellbell33]

i love the tap dancing guy! and the cats. and purty much everything :)

[Meatychunks1]

[andriaconnell]

[Shraboombah]

Ra Ra Raped it!

[macarieni]

[omaraty009]

[tarheelsfan221]

[SuperSwingdancer]

@tarheelsfan221 did you ask the cellist to marry you?

[Nieves57]

Tunes Award Winner 2010

[princesslily181]

LOVE them ((((:

[nonpoint6661]

@Raddiicca day obiously puddy cats..

[jamestebbitt]

I'm glad this song was written.... it makes me happy

[YTRCH]

Awesome song. Loved 4 songs on the first album, and 4 songs on this second album. The fall off is tough, but they're best stuff is really excellent.

[vsmcax1007]

Total ripoff of "love will tear us apart" by joy division

[slowdives]

@vsmcax1007 i think you mean "slightly similar chord progression to love will tear us apart by joy division"

[CobryProductions]

@vsmcax1007 they sound nothing alike...

[cforce17]

@vsmcax1007 got news for you bud, everyone rips off of someone else. there's nothing new under the sun.

[friendtooneherotoall]

Saw them when they played on treasure island a few months back and they, she and him, and belle and sebastian were amazing! Such a great show

[mangapotent]

KITTIES

[thecakeisbake]

IMUHNA SEE THEM AT SOHO ON THE 19TH!!!

[Yellowhouse25]

If my vampire friend reads this, he will know that I sent him the video because: a. It's Amazing but also b. He will watch this another 150 times searching for the "Mary the Cello Woman" button, too!

GREAT WORK: xoxo Goddess of Other Amazing Stuff

[connorfagan]

This is one of those songs that i have to try and resist listening to it because i know ill play it too much and not like it... but o well i cant help myself

[benegeseritwhore]

My favorite song of theirs.

[goshdranitalex]

"Marry Wes" button ? ;D

[Vincanni]

Never heard of this band till I heard them perform live on a Letterman repeat a day ago, thought by ear for a second they where Vampire Weekend, but figured Vampire Weekend wasn't remotely as good as the band I was listening too. This is being said by a Vampire Weekend fan by the way. Ra Ra Riot has immediately become one of my top 3 favorite bands right now.

[goshdranitalex]

@Vincanni Exactly how I felt when I first heard them a year ago now am a MegaFan !

[madisonstyle94]

@Vincanni vampire weeknd is amazing! how could you say that! (not trying to start those insane fights people have on youtube, i'm just sayin . )

[blueorchid1100]

@Vincanni Discovery is also made from ra ra riot and vampire if you havent been told yet i havent looked through ll the comments yet :)

[notw44]

@Vincanni Check out a band called Discovery if you haven't heard of them. Keyboardist from Vampire Weekend with the vocalist from Ra Ra Riot. Awesome stuff

[dank4ash]

This is a tasty song, goes down really smooth. Great work Riot.

[Challychen]

i just found it.

AMAZiNG!

[gumdropgirl13]

why do people take the time to dislike something? that to me is just a waste of time. this is a good song!

[genevishgraphics]

Fricken LOVe the bass line!!!

[andrejglavan]

siete grandiiiii

[stargazerwonderend]

really cute!!

[solidus32]

the blonde has the looks of a model's face on christina hendricks body

[ASirensSoliloquy]

cats cats cats cats

[mz9393mz]

F*ck yeah! This stuff is awesome. I hope they make it big and prosper. Love the strings in a rock tune.

[ItzTheCuteAnimeGirl]

[adolino]

The bass sounds amazing in this song!

[cabuses]

@adolino One of the reasons i love this song so much

[roflstephy]

@adolino The bass always sound amazing in Ra Ra Riot!

[SirDeerock]

Lead singer reminds me of Jesse Eisenberg for some reason :s

[supercali420]

@SirDeerock I was gonna say more like Breckin Meyer ......

[lctronik4e]

amo el solo de guitarra

[dahoodv2]
