[pearlypops]

its really frustrating to see loads of comments about the adverts on youtube rather than about the actual video we are watching. please take these stupid comments that have nothing to do with the video elsewehere

[iamagod10]

what a nice little song

[boelze]

I don't get the whole ad-flaming. If you don't like ads, then why would you watch them in the first place??? It's not like you can't disable them or something. I didn't even knew vevo has any ads before reading comments here.

[oneandonlyariesforay]

@YeahNigguhhh What about using Firefox and installing AdBlocker Plus? Sorted.

[LDN0rman]

Guys please. This is the only video on youtube where you can find a pair of tits flying at the screen and you're focusing on the ad? Get your priorities straight...

[musicandshapes]

why are we just commenting on how good the song is, cause its fucking brilliant

[jclaudiopimentel]

musica muito boa, letra mehor ainda. recomendo.

[cjstevens8]

this song is awesome. This video is awesome. They work in harmony.

[MrCascaria]

15 July @ Optimus Alive, Lisbon!

[cheuklamng1]

i didn't know they got fucking famous...

[3CheersForMe]

who gets these awesome video ideas?

its.. pure  GENIOUS

[Me55enger]

FRUITY HYPERSPACE.

[YeahNigguhhh]

i've replied to 2 of you, that's all i'm doing.

[recycler1234]

I've always wondered what a bowl of fruits split in half looked like, this video really helps. =D

[sprogyeah]

i swaer there used to be some chicks legs opening in this.

[TheLiam0105]

Class song. 8th time I've played it back to back. Don't understand while people are dissing Maccabee's new album there still fucking class :) You guys should check out Likely Lads - Observations if your a Macabees fan

Enjoy :)

[bluependragon]

At 1:13, it's rare these days for a modern day band to compose a song with this type of 'middle eight' in their songs, taking it in a slightly different direction. Its 'understated' and minimalist and it makes you actually listen to the song more during this part. Lovely soft synth in the background, soft, subtle vocals, then a build up of cymbals for a change, leading us back into the chorus. Great stuff !

[iMasterUtube]

fuck off Pit Bull you fucking koon

[AlaskaCampus]

The Maccabees are actually brilliant.

[wemyzzy]

i fuckin love cross sections

[agnomethatroams]

hehehe BOOBIES

[AleyLochRaven]

[springyt21]

Boobs =)

[onlybetx]

I feel like this video is a cop out compared to No Kind Words.

[PattyGolightly]

Awesome video. Awesome band.

[Eoinposse]

Maccine 4ever. Sasumwe.

[olivirawrful]

heard this song in 3 high street shops yesterday, getting the mainstream attention it deserves. what a good band!

[Twilxs]

Fruit Ninjas Heaven! 2:16

[xoxoLaila]

I like how I didn't get the point of the video til the end.

[Seabearrs]

too excited to see them live in march

[YeahNigguhhh]

i refuse to watch any video with an unskippable 30 second advert on it. I'M NOT WATCHING TV I'M ON FUCKING YOUTUBE. anyone who agrees do the same and together we'll boycott these cunts

[AdamTheWize]

@YeahNigguhhh Well, its better than the 10 minutes of ads you get on tv now.

[YeahNigguhhh]

@AdamTheWize yeah but that's half the reason i don't watch tv anymore, i don't wana have to give up youtube too. just watch i bet in a few years we're watching 5 minutes of ads before each corporate owned youtube video

[discotechwreck]

@YeahNigguhhh how are Google or record companies and associated bands ment to make revenue from their content? Bandwidth and servers costs money. People have put up with adverts on television for decades. It was an inevitable progression.

[callummcintyre]

@YeahNigguhhh its skippable. LOL

[TheMeanmaori]

@YeahNigguhhh If you have Google Chrome or Firefox then download the AdBlock Plus app/add on. Takes less than a minute and it blocks ads on sites like IGN, The Escapist and of course Youtube. No more ads, no more people complaining about shite ads. Simple!

[CornwallMovement]

@YeahNigguhhh Or you could spend 30 seconds writing a passionate hateful comment then watch the video, everybody wins

[thebearclawjones]

@YeahNigguhhh who the fuck are you? you neither own nor pay for youtube. the reason you don't pay for it is ads. "boycott" - fucking idiot. it's corporate capitalism and its the way planet earth works. it put the branded shirt on your back, whether you like it or not, and unless you give every single thing away and buy nothing you're part of it so grow up, shut the FUCK up, watch free shit and go and find something sensible to bitch about. you'd rather it was pay per view? YOU'RE the cunt, fool.

[YeahNigguhhh]

@thebearclawjones there are alternatives to adverts within the video! how do you think youtube ran for 5 years before google bought it? you've misunderstood me completely mate and i reckon you should wipe the dribble from your keyboard you absolute mong

[thebearclawjones]

@YeahNigguhhh Will you shut the fuck up, you self-important fool? The "alternatives" to ads are none of your fucking concern - you don't get one say in how google conducts it's business. bottom line: youtube is not yours but your getting it for free, because there are some ads on it. you don't seem to get that, while i've understood you completely, to wit: you're a moronic cunt who has an over-inflated sense of their own importance but without the brains to support it. sit down.

[LoStefanone]

@YeahNigguhhh Or simply all install AdBlock and they'll continue to pay for ads that nobody is watching ;)

[mattyIunderscoreI36]

@YeahNigguhhh google ad block plus

[MegaJaycop]

@YeahNigguhhh you're a fucking idiot. without adverts youtube would not be free. just think about it before you open your stupid fucking mouth.

[rorydog02]

@YeahNigguhhh get adblock and chill eay fix

[rorydog02]

@YeahNigguhhh get adblock easy fix

[ZataMachi]

@YeahNigguhhh Aaaah, fresh to live in Norway

[babidaboopy]

@YeahNigguhhh Why don't you just buy the album and support the band, then you won't have to listen to the adverts.

[YeahNigguhhh]

@babidaboopy you said that asthough there were only adverts on maccabees videos

[sniggibs1]

@YeahNigguhhh why don't you just get ad blocker?

[NiklasWalendy]

@YeahNigguhhh It's called adblock plus.

...and you're welcome.

[DanJ00]

@YeahNigguhhh Or just download adblock?

[Speciaindividual]

@YeahNigguhhh The adverts help youtube and the uploaders, don't complain.

[ndrew239]

@Speciaindividual Youtube doesn't need help, they're owned by f-ing Google. But if the uploader gets paid for it, maybe.

[Dannyboy56able]

@YeahNigguhhh I agree, but no need for the strong language at the end!

[TheZoostudio13]

@YeahNigguhhh I don't think that will work. You can never tell which videos have the ads untill you click on them, and by then I think they have the view count. I may be wrong though I'm just guessing thats how it works.

[theoriginalsmiley1]

@YeahNigguhhh you do realize that the adverts are what actually makes you tube FREE so if it wasnt for this 30 second adverts then we would have to pay, and calm down there 30 seconds not 5 minutes so its nothing like tv.

[fixationuk]

@YeahNigguhhh get real

[thomo1888]

@YeahNigguhhh Well I hope you enjoy paying to use youtube then you fud. How do you think they pay for servers and pay employees dipshit.

[potatochipsale]

@YeahNigguhhh how long did it take you to type this? seems like time wasted well.

[djkhemix]

reminds me of maximo park a bit

[blokey8]

@djkhemix I was thinking more an upper-class Elbow, crossed with Arcade Fire (with a less sulky singer)

[pippa21336]

I mean, I'm pro-healthy eating but... what's with all the fruit in this video?

[godisnature2012]

gran bel video!



[criznittles]

The Maccabees "Pelican" is featured on Indie/Rock Playlist: February (2012)

Get it here: theindierockplaylistdotcom

[crocodile200]

that's the eye of the tiger....

[MrGotwood2010]

is this in 3d

[houstonjdd]

@MrGotwood2010 Maybe! Get some fucking glasses and look.

[MrGotwood2010]

@houstonjdd oh yeah i'll just fucking whip some out of thin air

[MrMaschingewere]

I thought this band is a contemporary of Talking Heads and Brian Eno..and then I saw it's a 2012 album!

[jeni955]

It's hard to enjoy this video with David Guetta staring at me like he wants to rape me...

[amylee289]

theres plenty of proper music out there your obviously not looking in the right place

[fergout]

I like this tune quite alot but I must say the vid sucks length.

[gogolplex74]

0:40 boobs

[machiinate]

wow this video was soo trippy.

[MrStrictlyBodacious]

NO IM NOT SEARCHING SOME WANK UNKNOWN BAND WHO ARE DEFINITELY SHITE, THANKS. RE: LIKELY LADS

[poben123]

@MrStrictlyBodacious Actually they're quite good. But you don't have to reply with a douchey message, just don't follow the suggestion. It's a free country... He suggested, not ordered.

[MrStrictlyBodacious]

I knew this was a hit the first time I heard it.

[mymusic121212]

these guys are basically an arcade fire tribute band

[houstonjdd]

@mymusic121212 Who?

[1mc001]

Are we supposed to wear our 3D glasses?

[jminforeverxo]

This can't possibly get any more hipster. I love the vid.

[hkmilkteeth]

cool clip!

[Eoinposse]

I'm a Maccine.

A Maccabees & Vaccines fan.

[thecrossfirecasualty]

@Eoinposse Are you sure you're not a Vaccabee?

[gareth091]

amazing :)

[tminty3]

on 2:03 ish it sounds like a song from Dreadzone lol

[blackbubblegum47]

[busonluca]

[lest55]

[mynamesnotfinlay]

manager:so maccabees do you have any ideas for a new video?

Maccabees: yeah, we're gonna have a bunch of random shit flying through space and then they're cut in half

and thus, Pelican was made

[TheSkeletonFish]

addicted to this song so much!

[petenewton111]

Anyone else a bit bored of seeing "Likely Lads" being advertised on almost every video of a decent song?

[puacino2]

Great song!

[JacksonFGair]

I go to Amsterdam on the 26th, get back on the 29th, then go see The Maccabees at Newcastle the night I get back. Thumbs up if you think that's going to be an awesome week for me. XD

[MaximoMichelle]

pauses at 0:42 ,plays 5 minutes later

[Samibendaoud]

On n'On !

[hectormclean]

The Maccabees are a great band :)

[dirkbogarde44]

[foxyrodriguez]

[sollge]

@northyorksone I searched for them and they sounded like Generic Landfill Indie Band 1.0. Decent? If you like The Enemy maybe...

[xCoxydon]

@northyorksone Thanks for the suggestion, they're pretty awesome :D

[Tuck10Lufc]

Sounds ALOT like maximo park - Girs who play guitar!

[sarahjanesmithno1fan]

umm... kinda strange video but i luv the song and the maccabees!

[shihte1]

[L0ngfellow9]

[901deano]

[lukaszwojciech84]

[Watchmeplayoldgames]

addictive is an understatement

[rebekahlouiseblunt]

[lalax0lauren]

[JoeyAtkoHD]

[josh27117]

pelicans decent but not nearly as good as all the other songs on the album! haters can't even start to pass judgement till you give the whole thing a listen!!

[manurwickd]

Who else thought that was a duck at 1:45 ???

[manurwickd]

OMG!!! The album is number 1 on the mid-week chart!!! I always knew that thisband could get number 1!!! Everyone buy the album to make sure that they get the official number one!!! :o

[JamieCal505]

I could do with with some 3D Glasses.....or some weed.

[greenfrod]

@JamieCal505 I'd recommend both for enhanced viewing!

[JamieCal505]

@greenfrod haha truth!

[XCrazyGuitarManX]

NME keep going on about this band but just like when they had loads of hype a few years back it turns out to be totally unremarkable and mediocre.

[ameliebabyxx]

i love orlando xx

[thecrossfirecasualty]

Never found this band to be anything other than mediocre but this is a truly fantastic song. It reminds me of "Baba o' Riley" by The Who. I may have to give the album a listen.

[SoniaMcVeigh]

Great Song :)

[dickykkmUT]

is the viedo 3d?

[endowell]

mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[GAHLPs]

You just crossed over into... The Twilight Zone.

[xXLoveandBruisesXx]

Nice tune!

[toxicatingme]

YEAH!!! love maccabees

[maves87]

I quite literally have never loved an album as much as i do this one. They have ARRIVED.

[LOuntxD]

The background reminds me of my old windows screensaver!

[antaresmajoris]

[IpswichTilliDie1]

The album is freaking amazing!

[inspectorcreech]
