Eugene McGuinness - Fonz (2009)

[musicisscience]

This might be the tenth time I've played this song, if not more. It's THAT great.

[choirpsycho]

i wonder if this is where OK Go got their inspiration...

[Soupwhistle]

That's my mother's hairdo circa 1974.

[AIienware]

dude he looks like alex turner

[matthewstrat]

@AIienware I thought the same ;)

[adiwelling]

Eugene es genial!! Hace musica realmente grandiosa!!

[pbh945151]

What a fantastic pop song. It should really have been more popular.

[fl00de]

..

oh! didn't knew harry potter had a band

[GumBeatingTV]

@fl00de attempt to be funny fail.

[skew96]

i wonder how many pictures was shot in this stop motion video XD

sorry my english ;)

[GabDean]

he as great music videos :)

[molnkyss]

hello mental orgasm

[lokken85]

If he wanted to be Alex Turner any more his name would be Miles Kane.

[Szczepsification]

for me only explanation why this song still hasn’t < 2.000.000 views is because it wasn’t used in any dumb movie or tv series

[bluemountainskaters]

@Szczepsification so true aye im sick of good indie being ignored, then you go to something abit average and its got 1284082374321 views and the top comment is "thumb if skins brought you here" 

[POTlCHU]

@Szczepsification Maybe is that because this song is exactly same as other 134 593 493 399 000 songs out there?

[mgmtlover4ever746]

this is what god would sound like

[grizzlybearwolf]

"We said farewell and we sychronized our watches-

arranged for the meeting of our crotches"

Well DAMN that's certainly a way to put it

[interpomar]

ALex Turner+Miles Kane+Eugene Mcguiness omg¡¡¡¡

the new last shadow puppets¡ ♥o♥

[PloySiamThaiPride]

how many shots they take?

[TheCorholio]

muy buena la banda no havia tenido el placer, vamos a checar mas al respecto!!

[DravenX53]

they sound a lot like the arcade fire

[1NDU5TR14L]

increible cancion, la podria escuchar x siempre sin cansarme!!!

[underpuka]

alex turner??

[TheCarmineEternity]

hipsters

[heybeautifulHOLLY1]

damn this is good stuff

[corsegers]

so freaking tired of this lame brit pop shit

[illgamersean]

And everyone else is tired of people bitching on Youtube. If youre that tired of it, go start a band yourself.

[corsegers]

@illgamersean i did  and i failed hard but i admitted i failed hard. These guys on the other hand didn´t

ITS NOT CREATIVE MAN

[ColdPortrait]

hmmmm... very very nice!!!

[zoyclem]

This was a really interesting tune.

[singer0o]

This, just made my day

[kaukosaadin88]

Looks like beatles..

They just actually sound good

[kaoru169]

WOW! x3

[33distraction33]

chords for this song pleeaaase.

[cinemaniac86]

So just listen to it =P.

Most music videos are about roleplaying characters/caricatures. Hopefully, you won't let that hinder you from enjoying terrific music. Otherwise...I pity thee.

[Greesovith]

I hear you. I just bought the album and its great!

[arcticpuppet505]

the guitaristdude is cute.

[saxonde68]

It's like The Talking Heads got really, really drunk, had sex with The Strokes, the Strokes insisted on giving birth to the illegitimate child and named it Eugene McGuinness.

[shazam15]

Yes Yes Yes!

[nsunshine10]

@saxonde68 haha

[yelloweyeball]

@saxonde68 lol

[cacam01]

@saxonde68 Fucking high five. I know you wrote this a long time ago, and probably received a ton of comments in return, but seriously- I couldn't help my self.

[nickyation]

He looks like Alex Turner from The Last Shadow Puppets times.

[salinaandlizette1]

SweeT

[Cezzaras]

Eugene from X Factor? give me a plus if you were brought here from that show!

[kaukosaadin88]

That's one grazy mothrfkng video :D

[firecup123]

I wonder how long it took them to shoot the video?

Great song, great band.

[LittleFishChan]

I love how I can jump from one video (Animal Collective - My Girls) to another one (This one) and really love what I find. I hate the internet, but sometimes I love it, too. I'm listening to this song for the third time, and now I love it :D

Thanks for posting it, I'm happier now.

[punky88]

First time it sounded random, then it sounds fucking good. At the loudest tones he sounds like Tom Yorke (of course they have different voices) 5 stars man

[melsinki8]

what?!

[poptartjen]

I'm thinking more Morrissey meets Rufus Wainwright ;-).

[punky88]

that's true, Morrisey definitelly!

[trqyuqq]

このバンドは

イギリスではどれ位　人気がありますか？

[ToxxHugo]

Čim to píše ten člověk - poslouchaj tohle Češi ??

[ricardosanTM]

Lead singer looks a lot like Alex Turner.

[BloodySabbathman]

[erics1102]

[BethPessoa]

i'm a pessimist when the topic is "new bands", but this is a pop masterpiece!

[pbh94515]

What a great song! I hear some of the Replacements in the guitar. Nice sound. Cheers from Raleigh, NC

[bigkw]

The Beatles, Morrisey, and The Other Ones wrapped into one!! Love It!!

[acl1190]

[poophead3456]

[U2ARETHEBEST]

[FelixRobot]

love this song.

[fonsvandenberg]

Why is it called Fonz? can someone tell me

[Jazzsingingapple]

From the lyric in the song:

The Fonz said there's nothing wrong with being wrong

[bphutchins]

thank god the brits are keeping real music alive, god knows we aren't

[thatcoolguy69]

So true.

[MrStarfisho]

I think he's actually Irish not British. I'm sort of guessing by his last name.

[bphutchins]

well by brits, I meant the british isles, including ireland, its all the same to us

[junglebooksteve]

that would be an insult to alot, no offence to anyone from the UK . correct me if im wrong but Great Britain is the Island of Britain, ie UK of Great Britain & Ireland. not the same for us

[poptartjen]

Well, how about the possibility of Irish people emigrating to Britain ? Think about it.

[lrs123]

@bphutchins the grass is always greener is'nt it?

[giangy1993]

This song can't get out of my head. I love it! Eugene is really particular!

[Love4Picklesnowsies]

I've done stop motion video projects before, so I can tell you that this must have been really frustrating and difficult to do. But it's perfect!!!! And the song is amazing!!! I love this band.

[jubibubbly]

Domino always have great vids... this is so awesome. haha this single was released on my birthday. :) very unique and cheery song^^

[museturtlebrendon]

[SheWearsthePants]

[king3127]

His voice makes me rememer of interpol!

[maccauke]

[vusymodel]

they are taking video "moves" from supergrass and vampire weekend..lack of imagination:S

[tehjummie]

Yes because those two bands singly invented stop motion.

[neveronyx]

singly

[1001000111]

Agreed.

Originality is no more in this genre of music.....

[deltapegasi]

Sweet 'n' funny

[Paintislikemyblood]

[FatGammonCurtains]

[ohlordylordy]

mint

[bolapearreis]

great song !

[from73]

More Indie Bulls??t, What a surprise! Come back when you've understood music!

[TomRAFC]

i saw him doing a solo acoustic set supporting rilo kiley 2 years ago and he was superb and if you listened to any of the stuff off the early learnings of eugene mcguinness you'd know how indepth some of his musical and sultural references are; but of course you thought of all that before posting a dismissive comment didn't you because you'd just look silly otherwise

[southeaststreetracin]

this is just like everything else what a load of mediocre nonsense

[gsisri]

claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
