MGMT - Time to pretend

[chiyochan84]

nice shorts tho

[iiams0504]

it seems pretty obvious to me that they are mocking the "rockstar" life. and as for the people who think everything is about drugs... honestly, stop its annoying.

[MrGuabehhHasSteeze]

I got this song from Sex Drive.

[hollymommys]

i love this song!

[typhoon382]

@Lumoes

Sure...but as they themselves said, its actually a whole joke, making fun of the whole rock star life and everyhting...but what you said is cool too i guess.

[buckeyefan2107]

listening to this song on shrooms would probably make u cry

[blargh2blargh]

@buckeyefan2107

yea i know what you mean, i feel like most electronica is for stoners lol you need either no music or like happy music like reggae or something while tripping.

[TheTremendousTrio]

they wrote the song about them pretending to be rockstars. they talk about it in the abbey road performance. just sayin'

[810MG]

...wow..a "the holy mountain" reference.

this takes this video to a whole new level.

itd be great if the vid were directed by Jodorowsky himself.

[AlArZu]

this is so magic...something between gay hippie and LSD trip... NICE!

[lumoes]

They are explaining how we are all forced to become pretenders in life. Getting jobs and becoming robotic people in today's world. They saying how they'd rather be doing otherwise like making music and partying, or play like a child when you didn't have to pretend, when you did what made you happy.

[alexb818]

@lumoes this dont explain shit dumb ass your sure still suck in lala land .. now lets stop being pretenders and all be bums and play with worms

[xMissLoLox]

you man the islands and the cocaine and the elegant cars <3

[oliveoil1510043]

I fucking love this song it just makes me wanna a dance around and act stupid :)

[jmacattack420]

haha i wonder how fucked these guys are when they make there songs

[ryansatworkfc]

@jmacattack420 i heard that they were taking bong rips when they came up with the idea of this song. it sounds a little like a bong at the beginning of the song....

[RetardedTurquoiseCat]

LSD trip.

xD

[cochella420]

its like telling u that u dont always have to be serious some time u need to have fun its time to pretend like when u were a kid

[LaNanurXxX]

i love this song!... but i dont understand what it means... can anyone explain to me?

[poqwerty7]

hes actually pretty weird looking when you get a good look at him but he is super awesome

[Chacha5678]

@poqwerty7 and super hott

[DeidarasNinjaAngel]

awesome song <3 that dude is hawt XP

[skyline777]

doomed to pretend.... very true.

[linknchuk]

Is it just me or is there a reference to The Holy Mountain at 1:23

[PellMJ]

@linknchuk Most definitely a reference to THM, I respect MGMT a little bit more now.

[JJRamos14]

definitely

[Vivex666]

this band rocks.

the hippy/indie image is part of their whole getup...

they're part of the solution, not part of the problem.

[flipoff1018]

So true.

they're part of the solution, not part of the problem LOL!!

[narumayra92]

I LOve the song!!! *-*

and the artist*-*

[chya321]

its a song i can relate 2

[TheMentauk]

No, its EASY to pretend

[jeolfccc]

I just hope they stop making all these videos and concentrate more on making music and playing live. I think they are really good, but young. Hopefull they wont drop the ball and turn into yet another shitty pop band that sold out!

[CNasty3C]

move to parsi shoot sum heroin and fuck with the stars hell yeah they must have been speedballin on acid for this to cum up cuz this song explains perfectly what happens when you do that

[brucasluvaa37]

@CNasty3C lol I thought what you were saying was part of the lyrics I was like what the fuck haha

[DimebagsLeftToe]

as far as i know they just trip, they dont fuckin speedball

[piecheesemonkey]

lmaaoo riding a fucking cat on the moon. this is a straight up acid trip. looks like it cost them about $1000 dollars to produce. great song.

[webkinzfan1]

i like this song

its about kids wanting to grow up to fast.

[WakingLife4444]

Exactly how I feel. What the hell man

[xAnnaThaix]

* 3:06

[xAnnaThaix]

Lmao 3:10

[Wazabooz]

f * with the stars? what about the model wives?

[lordoflines]

funk with the stars

[MsHannahSunshine]

@0633767jerishowrulez

no.. its f*ck with the stars.

[MsHannahSunshine]

@0633767jerishowrulez

Oh sorry.

[lordoflines]

funk with the stars

[3rkid2]

I hear if your on an LSD trip and watch this music video, you see them in front of the green screen.

(lol)

[Elliekins22]

LOL

[Smirnova1988]

hahahaha

[3rkid2]

Trippy.

[LaughingMan7171]

i love their music, but if theres anyone that looks up to these guys, like... I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want you to do that... like, heroine addiction is not fun. i think there talkin about being "fated to pretend" is because they probably feel disowned by their families.

[MrTacobatman]

they are both pretty cool with their families.

it said so in an interview with them in SPIN magazine

[Homestar951]

no one was sober when they filmed this lol

[redarrowhead]

yay cocaine hurray heroine

[intelligentracoon]

if they play at bonnaroo, then they deff experiment with drugs. So what if they do? Some of the best artists do..

[FearingFeenix]

"i'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars" AWESOME LINE

[rectalbreach]

yes

[BlueIdiotProductions]

Yeah whoever made this video dropped some acid right before it.

[LaughingMan7171]

@BlueIdiotProductions would they be able to complete it if they were so bold as to do it? depends soley on the acid the might have taken.

[evalanal]

@BlueIdiotProductions

I wonder if that would make it look normal

[JRO1646]

Awesome song, I especially love the lyrics.

[ExtremeRehab]

Great Energy!! The Music's making me float!!

[shadeaufax]

No I think that it is the Acid mixed in with the song :P

[rudolfyuliany]

yo tambien e decidido morir joven y vivir la vida al maximo con alcohol drogas y mujeres!!! yeha!!!!!

[ondesmartenot3]

i couldn't live if it was so

[DrAndreaLaybourn]

it would be a sad life without music :/

[lewissucksballs8]

What drug can make you see this stuff ?

[ant1ph0n]

the correct question would be, what substance will cause the already present chemicals in your brain to be mixed up. (as in square pegs in circular holes) =p

[gerardoareyesm]

alguien sabe x q despues censurar el video a kien ofendia o solo era por q son persinados?

[iloveglasgowceltic]

[ComeAsYouAre12]

Has not this song some of the finest and most genuine lyrics of any musical creation in recent years?

"I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars. You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars...we're fated to pretend" AWESOME!!! :D

[Razwithz]

[BabiesInTheSnow]

No, it is not a very happy song at all.

[amielsanchez]

Seems ironically happy to me, like a happy cry :'-D

[BabiesInTheSnow]

Read the lyrics and you'll be persuaded to my point of view.

[potatoeater216]

[kiwian28]

yeyyyyy acid

[tapper88]

is it really that hard to upload decent quality video and sound, seriously why bother with this shit? I don't have 7.2 surround sound to listen to distorted crap

[joannurse]

I really think that this is a well spoken comment on the fate of youth that wants to make art or music in this time. It's hard but not hopeless.

[pmkzero5]

my cousins friend friends are friend wit deez guys

[bastetmeaw]

they were 100% high when they made the video..xDD but it's great!!

love this song!

[alianobalderas]

are they working on a new albulm or touring or just getting high

[elmaca9]

creo q causa mas alucinaciones q las drogas pero esta chida la rola jajaja

[rose7art]

why is the lyric bullshit?

I think it's true.

but yes the drug part-your rite

[rockisbetter]

this lyric is bullshit!

we gotta stop liking ilusion, and that's what drug is. not real.

[illuminartistry]

ha ha ,u think your bank accounts real what about this computer is it real? maybe to u at the moment, reality is perspective and without the observer irrealavent to be honest i think some "drugs" are illusional but there are allso ones that put you into a a much different but ultimitly convinsing in doing so brings about many questions about the valididity of the culturally considered norm "reality" if a chemicle can alter it so intensely how much of this is brought on by an illusion

[tamales458]

thanks for say that. but exist a lot perspectives of reality, but drugs are just destructive

[greenleaf82]

yes, i completely agree, drugs are destructive.

but not psychadelics.

[chickenfatty]

hahaha oh wow DMT flashback

[mazza23]

is this what really happens?

[illuminartistry]

sort of but much more intense and jam packed full of symbolic fun ha ha yea but it shouldnt be takin with out preperation(mental)

[mediacolo]

very very good

[herffmanzata]

[Mexicoco21]

I cant believe that the movie 21 opened up with this song. Its absolutely redic. It makes me laugh though. It just has nothing to do with the movie tho!
