No cartoon kitties were harmed during the making of this clip. They were just really really annoyed.

[sn1ffy85]

everyday should start with Jamie Lidell

...

[AHK909]

@sn1ffy85 Amen, its the shizzle

[5ths]

every perfect day should start with this song.

[cosmoscat013]

Ha! Same creators of the video for "Better Than Prince". Very cool.

[bre4k00]

I'm trying to do the same technique of drawing in top of the footage, any ideas to speed up the process?

[LuckyLoveTrance]

@bre4k00 As a cartoonist, unfortuntly, there is no other way. If I were you though, Do the pictures in a minute and try and bypass the backgrounds or many figures, to not only make it quicker, but also to not lose the figure of focus in the background. Also, Don't worry if it's messy, it's a good thing :D

[samueladdospain]

Quality!

[roxyjj]

this video is amazing

beautiful, just like his music!

[gisquiz]

Jamie lidell

I'm a fan of his songs

He can sing better than most of the artist of today..

[ariztokat]

Loved this one. Knew he was a cat person. ;)

[tklatte]

Poor cat obviously didn't find it that great. At least not in the second half...

[xicoze13]

addicted

[AreYouCrazyMJC]

LOVE IT LOVE IT :D

[xMareDude]

Love it.

[pascalpascal11]

il en a trop marre le cat !!

[madretierra6]

muy bueno¡¡

[infradig8]

If that was my cat, I'd be scarred for life...

[ferdousisofia]

iadorehim.

[MarcoSnow88]

Great song! The movements of the characters in the video were so incredibly lifelike (that cat was really spazzing out towards the end!).

[Skvid]

he just traced the actual video footage with this "pen effect", thats why it looks so lifelike.

[linkman91]

i wonder if he really has a cat in real life.

[coweetie]

this animation is

....

just that awesome!!!!!!

[Knutschviech]

Wow, very nice. i love it.

[17Slaves]

ITS ROTO'D! BUT NICE STYLE !!!!! I THINK LLIDDEL IS INTO BEATIALITY!!! way to many indications in his songs!

[emmawoolley]

the drawing work in this is great!

[Esphinxxx]

that cat is brilliant!

[LUZBAL]

Hayy!!! Pobre gatita!! Fatal tener que depender de semejante dueño...

[Brancollina]

ahhhh ... this is fantastic !

[InvalidSkater]

Chromeo's video "Momma's Boy" Got me watching this, and now I like it, =D

New school brings people back to old school, like it always will.

[ente1984]

the seconds 00:05 until 00:10 that part reminds me of another song i dont know wich.. does anybody knows if they recognize it?

[mistyeyedsurprise]

is it 'dancing in the moonlight'?

[SupremoHumberto]

it also sounds like Jamiroquai's canned heat

[juliusvanijperen]

no man..

i cannot agree with you, just because he also uses the same kind of synth sounds.. it is totally different

[SupremoHumberto]

I understand that it's totally different, And I only meant those couple of seconds. But what your saying is that a song that doesn't exist by eric clapton, and one that doesn't exist by donavon frankenreiter that have a similar beat with similar timing, Heck maybe even the same notes are different because they play different guitars through diferent amps....

[airheadstudios]

Everyone loves Funk.

[Jasha91]

fantastic.

[Smilekick]

Poor cat xD

[MusicMago]

Jamie Lidell @ Sudoeste 2008 no site da central musical:

(centralmusical)pt/?c=7459

[magicid]

Sounds a bit like jameroquai

[Esbenkm]

Yeah, my first impression aswell

[Aidanadia]

I seriously am IN LOVE with this song,

but I thought the video could have been more creative. :|

But I LOVE THE SONG. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SONG. XD

[Aidanadia]

Poor frightened cat.

=P

[WannaBhater]

I loooooooooove this video, and the song ^^

[basiabe3]

if the drawing cat evoke as much emotions You must be pretty mad..what a nonsense, it's no use talking..

great song, great animation!!

[feuerrrvogel]

are u serious people ? That comments on "harming

the cat" ?? hä?

What about the people (ok, children) letting their cats wear "cute little dresses" and stuff??

And referring to the one, that referred to Jamies other songs as "crap" and that he should do more soul....I mean, he has got variety, that what makes him such a magnetic live performer - Experience and variety - take it or leave it!

[flyingsteph92]

sounds like sly and the family stones

[DreamSSequences]

@flyingsteph92 Second!!

[subscience]

my cat was not harmed in the making of this.

[svitax187]

the seconds 00:05 until 00:10 that part reminds me of another song i dont know wich.. does anybody knows if they recognize it?

[Luminoth545]

Is it a Jamiroquai song? That's what it sounds like to me.

[svitax187]

Yeah i think it is i dont know i dont recognize it..

mayb you can help?

[JohnnyLaidback]

Canned Heat I guess

[inmyhumble0pinion]

Dear Mr. Lidell,

Because you were abusive toward that cat for the sake of "entertainment," I will not buy any of your albums nor watch any of your videos. In fact, I've rated this video a one out of five stars.

Good day.

Cc: Warp Records

[SalamanderExcess]

oh my god i hate you hahaha! cynical bastard, hope i never meet you ever in my life! its just a fucking cat ! good day to YOU

[svitax187]

what is abusive in the way he's threating his cat.. if the cat was annoyed he would defenitely bit him or scratch him..

[MichaelRoach999]

I agree totally. If that prick treated my cat like that we wouldn't be singing anymore.

And why is the song Multiply so awesome but most of his other stuff crap. He should do more soul/blues.

[ParkourEh]

To all my dear animal rights activists: It's really awesome (joking, you all suck) that you're such all stupid retards and you made the oh-so un-intelligent decision to be complaining about "cruelty" to an obviously animated cat.

[buckfastercrew]

in fairness, the vid was animated from a shoot in the director's garage and the cat is indeed real, albeit one which was traced frame by frame for the vid.

still, i don't see any mistreatment.

[mariarts]

Mhuahaahah I would love to hurt a "prick" like yourself brown-noser

JL-is one bigg chunck of love

and i guess your missing out on that in life

lighten up

[DoYouBelieveInIt]

As far as I know, holding your cat isn't animal cruelty. Jebus, you people sicken me. Soon it's going to be if you even PET an animal you're harming it in some way.

I don't mean to be cruel, but seriously, the cat seems mildly confused that there's singing in his ear rather than anything else.

Btw, fantastic song. I love Jamie so much. Very talented. :D I currently have his song Little Bit Of Feel Good stuck in my head. Truthfully I don't mind it there. Better than Miley or the Jonas Bros.

[JanEad]

hahaha boss tune:) always loved it

cool animation - and quite fitting as my cat also is the one that wakes me up! Although it's pretty obvious by the meows that he/she wasn't so happy about the attention! :o0

sure they were fine in the end though and a sweet idea for a videao :) x

[d3p3ch3mod3]

kitty cats + rotoscoping animation = yeag!

[DebrahJadeFanatic]

nice animation

[AndreaJordan]

this is so tight!

[janewyz]

another rotoscoping animation. but nice

[nafeoh]

u'z lot look into videos way too much..its a good vid good song. so who cares

[musiclovvver]

very nice song, also a nice song is youtube[.]com/watch?v=Nh2E5OEQ­VZA it is the single of the week at tunetribe[.]nl and is called how to run the show by Werring

[13thnote]

Who cares about the cat and the video? It's about the song!

[t2ator]

ha..thats realistic..i can imagine doing the same thing to my cat! the best part is the way it tries to get away...nice!!

[libertonic]

love that song and jamie is super cool!!

[PolyesterPam]

I love that this song is about his cat! More people should sing soulful odes to their pets.

[mosstet]

fuckin love it

[gokuisard]

I think this songs awesome, and even more awesome with the fact its about his Cat!I'm sick of mushy love songs, theres too many.This is a song about the respect of a companion, which to most, beats dealing with humans who can sometimes be annoying.lol

[cdizzity]

Wow. This video is kind of creepy. I love Jamie Lidell, but I kind of thought the lyrics were about a girlfriend, not a cat. But, hey, I guess cats can excite some people. But, yea, wasn't a great music video. But hey, there's not much you can do in under 2 minutes.

[13thnote]

you're my cup of tea. i'll have to say that to a girl i like sometime.

[Pimsoul]

youre right

I love the saying too! its like an invention

[13thnote]

I don't care about the video, although it's cool, I guess. The song is great. I like the bit that goes da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

[okkiejam]

i always do the same with my cat.. cool video!

[misterrbrown]

Audio's out of sync, damn youtube! Saw this on the RES dvd though. Superb.

[fidocancan]

heheheh... cool juxtaposition... cool cats

[mischpult74]

very, very nice and simple: a good one: keep on!!!!

[SomeoneOnTheInternet]

WarpRecords what programm did you use to make this like a cartoon?

[ContinuityB]

It was made by my friend. He animated it by hand tracing all the frames of the video (rotoscoping), that alone took him over a month.

[subscience]

6 months actually scott... ha.

[subscience]

i hand drew it in flash.

[ContinuityB]

1)that's over a month.

2)it looks shit anyway. cnut.

[subscience]

wanker.

[liesbetB]

I like cats and I like this animation!!

[wandasnotokay]

that is not a happy cat

[soultronik]

great singing though

[EdHargrave]

Kinda poppy for Warp. Nice though

[omgpreston]

nice!

[mastercontrol200]

That cat wanted out of his arms. Great animation!

[AgustinOu]

wow I like !!!

[toyminater]

nice song. The animation is really cool, but it really would be nice to have more than just a guy dancing around with a cat. Great video though.
