This band sucks so much. I'm just here because someone called it "the best" song of the last 20 years. Glad they finally fucking disbanded. Good riddance.
@DBeckham512 1. Please, spare us your idiocy and listen to lil wayne or scum like that
2. As far as I'm aware, this was all one guy with a cool computer and alot of talent, no "they" that I know of.
3. #People like you are the angry, ignorant, closed-minded bottom rung of society that brings the rest of us down. Your historic stupidity and dead-end thought process is going to be passed on to other stupid children who will eventually depopulate the planet with their arrogance. Die.
@DBeckham512 nah brah, just painfully and pitifully honest. There really isn't any need for you to be alive, we have enough people living on the taxes of the middle class. Sorry :/
I'm sorry but I was just waiting for him to get slapped once. I'm a bad child I know...I'm sorry. Its a beautiful song and a nice Pink Floyd reference :D
I was 25 when this came out, and had just moved to a new city where I did not know anybody, moved there for first real job, so basically becoming an adult.
I still have not met friends as good as the ones in my homtown (met my wife though)
So I can totally relate to this song Top 10 all time for me.
blindingly great, if only he/they had been releasing this stuff in the actual back then eighties this would have been seminal - sadly condemned to be 'influenced by'.
My favorite part about this video(besides, you know, the song) is that the drummer is pretty intense even though he's just playing the same thing over and over. If he's that intense in this song, he must be badass live.
@redredshoes Definitely reptilian, but I'm not sure if that's an iguana or not--I can't clearly see the dulap. Maybe a Chinese Water Dragon or Tegu or Uromastyx or something.
Left foot, right foot, cleft hoof, serval step, little win. An amorphous mixture of wondrous components, tied up in nothing, endlessly living breathing dying reviving all around you. You're only sleeping, peradventure to dreaming! This is the best of all possible worlds, the great panglossian window to all realms. See meaning in meaninglessness. If freedom is the freedom to fall, it might as easily be the freedom to succeed.
Is it true the singer turned down a gig on 'Seinfeld' to pursue a music career? Ordinarily, that would be wholly condemnable, but, as they say in my neck of the woods, the boy done good. Cool band. Cool song.
@hari8417 He said on The Colbert Report that he didn't want to be doing this as an older man, and that he had done what he wanted and everything after where he was would be downhill. I think it was a real good way to end things.
Y do u not allow playback on iPads? Something against them? I'm pretty much always traveling which is why I have this thing. It would be nice to be able to watch this video.... Please do change that...would be much appreciated
@newwind07 In my top 5 favorite things I've seen posted on the web, including porn. I don't know if this is a famous quote or not, regardless laughed so fucking hard.
@newwind07 nope im not 29... and i dont care if its old... i just saw the "fuck you" and wanted to say stfu. thats all :). Friends? ..... no?....... FUCK YOU!!!
@deibee They are - or rather, I guess "were" - one of the best live bands I've ever seen. These songs just make so much more sense when you're dancing to them. Carefully constructed builds, and deceptively heartfelt lyrics, done with a balance of smarts and sentiment and humour that's very rare.
I don't think listening to them on Youtube is the way to go, to be honest. I didn't get them at all until I heard their CD at a party, and it all just clicked. I'm really, really gonna miss these guys.
@JennyDecimal I literally just started listening to this band tonight, and after going through a few songs, but I think I understand exactly what you mean. There's a certain.. offbeat to the process of just listening to the words and construction that I think would be counteracted (or.. multiplied, depending on how you look at it) by actually moving your body with the flow of their music.
Now, once I learn how to dance, it will all make sense! =P

That was terrible. Not PAINFULLY bad, just that the song has zero musical merit and effectively zero merit overall. Not impressed at all. But hey, if they like playing them, or people like listening to them, w/e
interested to hear how u judge merit.critically it is considered to be a quite astonishing triumph.musically it is a intersting experiment in crossing genre boundaries and how to build a peice from the ground up.lyrically it, i think, is wonderfully poingnant.it displays real emotion throughout, avoiding subjecting the listener to pure electro production and employeing brilliant songwriting skill.how do u reckon it shows no merit?
Great band. Great song and a great sound. Shame EMI will screw them over and try and squeeze every last drop of talent out of them untill they just don't enjoy it anymore.
@mporvaznik07 "there are few albums that are worth buying once passed their release date" What does release date have to do with the value of music at all? That statement makes no sense to me.
This song is to the 00s what Satisfaction was to 60s, Stairway to the 70s...
