Julian Casablancas : Ludlow St.+ Lyrics

[weak326]

What about my fucking kid Ryan? Poor little Fabrizio hasn't eaten in 3 hours! Shut up don't do that!

[FLaiR791]

Poor little Fabrizio.. He hasn't eaten in 3 HOURS!!!

[cubbies111111111]

Who else loves the chromatic banjo solo?



[wakeboardinchick]

i love you julian <3

[themanclaw2]

What did the 5 fingers say to the face? SLAP!

[lechacondelalo]

1:23 the beats makes me sick

[CHRUST1909]

@lechacondelalo Me too... and I don't know why he has added it .... could be so perfect :P

[CallMeMrX]

Boring monotone song.

[DisabledParanoia]

@CallMeMrX Fuckin' awesome lyrics.

[therealkatiemartin]

How many of you know what this clip is from? :)

Hint: WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?! What about little Fabrizio?! He hasn't eaten in 3 hours!

[venomousmuse]

@therealkatiemartin in transit!!

[therealkatiemartin]

@venomousmuse Yay! :) I love that clip, haha.

[lolanarchist]

One of the first venues/clubs the Strokes played in at the very beginning of their career was on Ludlow St. They got banned from the place for throwing the mic stand across the room too much or something.

[GuinTheKimmiDoll]

Man that clip gets really annoying

[NeonTiger24]

when i first saw this is was like :D then about 18 slaps later i was like :| then i watched it another 20 times i was like :D again.

[Gallas1000]

@NeonTiger24 What about the 54867 other times?

[cocochanell7]

i love that clip haha 

[karinajonas12]

7 people never fed theirs, said theirs, forgot theirs, or got theirs.

[shmoopytheduck]

Why the poo is he pretending to smack Fab?

[lizzyrox1999]

Geez is this a fake slap or was Julian seriously mad?

[juliameretemork]

@lizzyrox1999 he is just being funny, you can see the whole thing in their film called "In Transit"

[SentientParasite]

2:55 Kerry King on banjo

[kemcyPeace]

0:17 fits in with the music ;)

[laymydragonsteeth]

im pretty sure this is art

[InThe11thDimension]

@laymydragonsteeth I know, right? This should be part of an exhibition in the Louvre. :D

[sydneyfamous]

shut up don't do that

[Watchmen341]

this song is just awsome beyond that thats Julian Casablancas

[popsiclesuckers]

oh my god, this is fucking hilarious. A+

[lampstamp1]

this is fucking scary

[xXLunagrrl]

I will never look at this song the same way again. SOMEONE MAKE A GIF OF THIS.

[hartellage]

Nearly 20,000 views, 29 "Likes", and only 5 "Dislikes" on a video consisting of 2 seconds of looped footage with a song. Only julian casablancas could write a song that could pull that off.

[AwkwardCupcakes]

i love how julian is slapping fabrizio LOLOLOL. in transit was hilarious <3

[FemmeFatalee]

lol

[BreakTheHouseDownII]

why would you just make the video of Julian slapping the drummer over and over again???????????????? it just make any sense

[ipi223]

major thumb down for the guy who did the video... GREAT song

[HeeeyMacarena]

To clear things up, Julian slapping Fabrizio (drummer of the Strokes) as a joke. It's in their movie, "In Transit."

[ArtistLegend]

I smacked them as i thanked em

[KazamaFanatic]

HOW CAN HE SLAP?

[bke77103]

who is he slapping?

..and why? lol

[CrazyAsianFilmz]

@bke77103 he's slapping Fabrizio. Go search up "In Transit".. it's a documentary the strokes (steven spielberg) made during the hype of 'Is This It' album..

[bke77103]

@CrazyAsianFilmz thanks heaps for that

[caroline1697]

@CrazyAsianFilmz hahaha omg i'm laughing so hard. you actually think steven spielberg made in transit? sarcasm, my friend.

[Tecanuva]

Dumbass, it's "Everything seems to go wrong when I STOP drinking"

[garcesalmeida9]

@Tecanuva dumbass ? why don't you shut the fuck up and make your own video with lyrics ? i think your lyrics are right , but you don't need to call names to people , retard

[coach9087]

lol who the hell need slap

[melfaery]

@coach9087 His drummer Fabrizio.

[wc3415]

i believe the lyrics are "everything goes wrong when i STOP drinking" makes alot more sense

[sillysp8]

Hahaha thats the best part of in transit

[Cosbyswank]

Glad glad glad. Good song

[RdKurama]

aha fab getting smacked repeatedly

[canthavteee]

Trash song

[beatboxrockerN1]

the video is psycho

[Opsha1]

Love that banjo solo....

[daveidftw]

well zero6917guh, funnily enough that is what it says.

[zero6917guh]

haha thanks!

[sunsetswitheli]

I fell in love on ludlow street....

[zero6917guh]

wouldnt it make more sense if it said "everythin seems to go wrong when i stop drinkin"? i think it makes more sense

[yolo1998]

hahaha I cant believe you made a 5.45 min video out of that clip - ''what about my kids Ryan?Poor little Fabrizio hasn't eaten in 3 hours.Shut up! don't do that!''

[PAOLA0CA]

haha poor Fab!! =/

[The88mercedes]

i lived on ludlow for a year and a half ..... its changed sooo much only thing still the same is pianos ,max fish, and dark room.. and a couple other places..... werd^ by the way this album is awsome .. dont judge just listen

[JimmyTheRealKid]

As long as I can listen to his terrible instrumentals and melodies,as his deep roars fuck up my mind,as his more or less meaningful lyrics make me think...I'll be satisfied :D

(And a 4th Strokes' record wouldn't be asking too much from those 5 wankers).

[JimmyTheRealKid]

So I kind of understand his need to prove that he's a real grown-up now,that he's not anymore that zombie wandering with a bottle of vodka,and that he actually cares about what's going on in the world.But after all,we can't really judge what's going on in his mind...does he really care about what he sings about? As far as I'm concerned,I don't give a fuck.

[JimmyTheRealKid]

Well, I think that there's a point where, if you're an artist, you're of obliged to talk about matters you don't really feel concerned about but that are at the same time considered important by public opinion. Especially for someone like Julian who has given in the last years the image of a spoiled rich-kid who spends his life drinking and behaving like an immature rockstar.

[XxxxxxLinaxxxxxX]

Hahahaha I love the vid, I can't stop laughing XD

[letmeloginyoucunt]

dear god, all of you please shut the fuck up and listen to the song none of you have any right to judge and insult him based on what youve read about his upbringing, have any of you spoken to julian about this song? or why he wrote it what he means in it etc? just shut up and get a fucking life

[ediblered]

not a strokes fan, but this song is pretty sweet.

[YKCelticFC]

Hey let me login is a cock loving cunt,

i didn't mean to be insulting, but average cabbage brought up a point that MANY owrking class people in new york who work on the docks bring up. Fucking yuppies acting like they are natives and talking about the problems when they are the cause. You have to understand that. It's not just some guy singing a song, he is the problem yet complaining about it. Anyways I have not been to AUS but met people from ther. Good people.

[quicketernity]

sort the fucking video out...its shit and iritating...like me

[AverageCabbage]

Faces are changing on Ludlow Street

Yuppies invading on Ludlow Street

Night life is raging on Ludlow Street

History's fading.

As much as I like Julian:

what is this about, isn't he a bit hypocritical? i mean , he isn't exactly the poorest kid working his ass off day and night like former lower east side musicians, and he certainly doesn't struggle with cockroach-invaded apartement

But I get the message he wants to convey, but it's wrong saying that as a superrich

[touchogrey]

yep

He invaded Ludlow just like the other ones

Hypocritical mess who uses Puerto Ricans and Native Americans as a crutch

Pseudo-intellectual

Good song though

[baalpeej]

it's  not wrong. it is great that a "superrich" actually sees those things.

he has an impact on people. music from " poor people" just reaches those that are directly listening.

[AverageCabbage]

what possible impact could that have on people except the effect of more people with rich parents come to ludlow st/Lower east side.

I didn'T say he's wrong, i just said it's hypocritical, cause he himself is a yuppie

[YKCelticFC]

Average Cabbage is just saying that FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN"T GROW UP HUNGRY it will always be like a person looking into a zoo. they will never know how the animal they are looking at thinks, feels about life. They only know what they see...and we all know taht is a superficial view of things. This doesn't apply to all middle-upper class people, but how the hell can you cry about how much you know about the poverty of the city, when you didn't live there.

[YKCelticFC]

Rich people who talk about poor people's problem from the perpective of poor people = they dont' know what the fuck they are talking about. THey dont' know the feeling and the true hardship of growing up poor, not feeling like you have a chance from WITHIN. He should talk about what he knows, like hypocrisy with the upper class, not things he has no idea or life experience with. He will get respect if he doesn't talk about shiot he knows not.

[quicketernity]

quite right...plus he wasnt born super rich............

[YKCelticFC]

Music from "poor people" reaches far my friend. It's the people who have nothing but their voice that sing the loudest.

[Proffesorwh0]

@baalpeej

You know he works as a construction worker right?

[quicketernity]

Its a fucking song..........

[letmeloginyoucunt]

um he is just commenting on what he sees? it doesn't matter that he has known nothing other than a financially comfortable lifestyle. Why the fuck would it be wrong for him to see and admit the wrong doings of others?

[AverageCabbage]

cause he himself is a yuppie duuh

[letmeloginyoucunt]

your stupid

[AverageCabbage]

there goes a good argumentation...

[YKCelticFC]

you are a probably a spoiled rich kid who defends other spoiled rich kid. average cabbage summed it up, he's a yuppie he doesn't know shit other than being a yuuppie. stick to singing about stocks and all the money your family argues over.

[AverageCabbage]

and by the way, did I mension that julian's album just sucked ? it's a pain in the ass to listen to it, sry man, stay with the strokes ;)

[letmeloginyoucunt]

oh god shut the fuck up and stop trying to seem intelligent, you are failing. I am not a "spoiled rich kid" have you ever been to Corio, Victoria, Australia? definately not the richest of suburbs you fucking retard

[YKCelticFC]

jhahahahha australia....try baltimore where people are told to go to IRAq because there is a higher life expectancy. shutup and eat a shrimp on the barbie you aussie fuck. Stop fucking with aboriginals also.

[YKCelticFC]

heylogincunt, dont' talk about NYC if you are from AUS. . From your comments it's obvious you haven't lived a hard life, or you would be as annoyed at all the people talking about OUR problems. Mate if you are a "poor aussie" dont' you think it sucks how people tell us how to feel etc?? I was simply annoyed that you can't c REAL WORKING CLASS PEOPLES AGGRAVATION but you must listen to a song to know how we feel eh? Fuck you dont' talk about new york if you are from Australia. talk about sydney.

[YKCelticFC]

you should get a badge for being from Corio Victoria, AUstralia. Must be a war zone there....right? nothign like south central, queens, baltimore, DC, NEw Orleans, or any of the Indian Res. I bet you watched Croc Dundee and thought you can "pull a knife" on a new yorker and scare him eh? We carry guns here...hahahah. and if you take it seruisoly it was a joke crocidille dundee. Put your knife awy before you get hurt.

[letmeloginyoucunt]

what the fuck? stop assuming things about people you don't know, its embarassing.

[strokesfan1107]

hey buddy, you're on youtube.... no one is listening

[agnis2]

@YKCelticFC Quiet, Troll.

[YKCelticFC]

Basically Letmeloginyoucunt, Average Cabbage summed it up. He doesn't know what people he is talking about go through. He has only one perspective....comfort.

[YKCelticFC]

*he = Julian

[AverageCabbage]

ok , i revise my comment, maybe he isn't a yuppie, cause he's way to cool to be one, and he's a musician, so it kind of negatates itself..

[YKCelticFC]

because he doesn't truly know what is going on. He doesn't. Just think about how much more createive and deep he can be if he talks about things he knows about personally, and shares it. Instead of picking a pet project and takling about it. one things rich will never understand is how aggravating it is for working men to see rich people complain about OUR problems. The reason it annoys is cause it's alwasy teh same.

[YKCelticFC]

In order to know the issue, you must LIVE there. He makes it seem like working class people don't want gentrification, it's more complicated but of course he doesn't give a shit, he just wants to seem like he's on the side of "the poor". Why do rich people feel like they have a right to talk about things they dont know just because they have money? How many poor people you hear talking about upper class living? talk about WHAT YOU KNOW.

[AverageCabbage]

thank god at least someone gets what I mean, and I think it was the libertines who said: Rich kids dressing like their poor ( Strokes), I love their music but they should stay at that and not be judgemental

[marcelcowling]

this is deadpan

[transistersis]

Wow! I'm a Cunt? For posting the silly "Fight Club" comment? That's harsh! I think that Julian C. might have been laughing to be polite when I told him my "FC" comment in person during our interview when he played here last month, but I sure don't think he felt the same way as "hanneesh" did, thank goodness. Imagine saying such a hurtful thing to someone you don't even know, about a YouTube video quip they made, no less! There are some haters out there. How sad...

[ShinMike]

Shut up!

[Leomaders]

great song, it's just the video little bit strange '-'

[MouthMangler]

Sure, it doesn't sound like vintage Strokes it's one of those tracks that grow on you in time. I personally love it.

[transistersis]

This is actually from the upcoming film "Fight Club 2: Now You Can Talk About It (Cause No One's Listening)" , to be released early next year. Just in time for the Academy members to nominate films "To Be Considered" for The Oscars. Julian is sure to be a Contender with his Knockout breakthrough performance in the film.I heard he did almost all of his own stunts, too!

[hanneesh]

transistersis, tht is the biggest pile of shit ive ever heard in my life... you're a cunt.

[LeBabyshamble]

So is your opinions on music apparently

[MouthMangler]

I don't understand why people give someone who simply voices their opinion on a song thumbs down when they don't praise the song. Obviously the guy/girl at least likes The Strokes to find this video..Although I don't personally hate this song, in fact I like it.. but i'd much rather listen to classic Strokes

[TheDeeC]

HA nice video there, perfect for the song =]

[Kaaaaaattiiee]

Such A Good Song :)

[rockNcaca]

haha good video man !

[XxmerulexX]

haha best scene in in transit! this video is afficilly one of the funniest videos ever, it never gets old haha....great song too i love you julian!

[aniuskk]

ok the video is making me go crazy

[hardkorcompton]
