The sound, the costumes, the suits in their other videos, the black and white checkered floors, this screams 80s as all Monarchy stuff does. To rad, too cool, like totally! Others emulate the 80s all wrong. It wasn't all intense constant neon colors like rainbow bright. Monarchy is creating an exact representation of the 80s. Neon colors were always balanced with black so you didn't look like a glow worm. Bright neon tops were balanced with darker bottoms and vice versa. Look up T&C Surf Shirts.
I had the opportunity to experience Monarchy live and they were in one word brilliant. The lead vocal amazing, the lyrics had depth, the production was slick, and performed with conviction. True talented artists. Cheers Monarchy and hope to see you in SF soon! X
very fun music i love music and rate songs for a living . it brought some joy to me by finding a song that u can dance to and throw into clubs thats not to hard
This video has 373,085 views on it as of 5/26/11. And I'm pretty sure that 300,000 of those views are from me. I can't stop watching this video. It's so current, yet so 80s retro. Whoever did this is BRILLIANT! I know it's Monarchy, but whoever directed the video I mean. I love how the 80s are coming back while still using current technology and themes. Be cool if they could do the same thing with the 70s, 60s, and 50s decade sounds.
Great vid and song. Love it, although the 4 dancing robots/choreography might have been taken from Herbie Hancock's Rock it at the Grammy's from 1984, this shows the man was way ahead of his time. Have a look, enjoy.
@muratkorkmaz74 I searched up Herbie Hancocks performance at the Grammy's in 1985 and the choreography looked a lot different than what they are doing in this video.
@jeskinn What I mend to say was that they might have taken the idea and part of the choreography from Hancock. Watch Hancock @ 2.08 and Monarchy @ 0.48. Almost identical and some other moves are also the same but I sure think the choreographer was inspired by Hancock which is cool and should be no problem. Like them both, the Hancock performance back in 1984 was groundbreaking for that time, got a standing ovation.
@nothanksbby Grafton Primary, Monarchy, and Neon Indian are 3 awesome groups that manage to maintain a cool and current sound while at the same time being able to keep a very strong retro 80s sound. Too cool.
@manspiderkgb Since when has labeling bands as genres a side effect of doing drugs? A majority of songs by Daft Punk are indeed house so it would be pretty spot on to label them as house. And I'm not quite sure if this goes into any other genre besides electro so I went ahead and labeled them that. What do you think they are?
Who cares if they sound or look like Daft Punk, tis called "being inspired." Daft Punk did start a whole new generation of music, its obvious that bands, duos, groups, etc. are going to sound like them. This band is great and they do sort of remind me of Daft Punk and thats one of the reason I enjoy listening to them.
@jearhair47 Daft Punk did not actually start a genre of music, electronic music was actually started on the low in the 70's. You make a great point though!
@ae1143txstate What I meant to say is that they began a unique style, where you can easily distinguish Daft Punk from other groups. But yea, that's what I was trying to get at.
