The Bedroom Philosopher: Wow Wow's Song (La La La)

[lwp22]

i undertsnad everytheuibbdsdbb

[gedwolfe]

this is probably the best song ever

[EScarlet218]

i saw this guy live

[platypusboy]

Big dose of Beck but in a good way, like Beck was without commercial constraints

[slh950]

Les Rita Mitsouko's "C'est comme ça" takes "la la la" way higher than "na na na" could ever hope to go

[Stefkicksass]

0:53 , the yellow submarine.

[kuliwil]

TRIPOD!

[CounterNormal]

I can't believe you got Tom Waits in as a guest singer!

[manicmarzipan]

People like this make the world a better place to live....

[manicmarzipan]

omg .... best song I have ever heard in my life... this is incredible.. just genius!!!

[klix4life]

WTF!!!!!!?????

[eskimokrystal]

'we're all in this together'

[FritsBrouwer]

La la la can only take you so far. Na na na will take you higher...

[djlobb]

Whats with the double dose of black bars?

[hokeypokeypanda]

I love how random this is :D

[trenma09ac]

i highly recommend to listen to this stoned

[Thelackofpizza]

Oh Tripod. 

[stevemasters0]

w..t..f

[smiles1011]

this song is amazing

[jeckeljoan]

Cookie Monsters hipster brother in Law

[Beanpodable]

The Bedroom Philosopher and Tripod :D Love it.

[lisaamariko]

Lalala ~

:D Justin Haezlewood<3

[petra97]

my fav song of all time <3

[Vote1Jimmy]

HAHAHAHA! OMG i love The Bedroom Philosopher there so diffrent

[iluffyoudodo]

Hahaha

[betomas]

I hate texas.

[Aperpheldy]

Hey tripod. They rock. Well done. Very catchy...too catchy you fiend

[sexyspoonage]

@Aperpheldy Not Tripod.

[sharplikerazor]

it that ollie clarke on the drums?

[DominicJones]

Well spotted! It is indeed Mr Clarke.

[totesWIN]

OLI!

[ianscreamlikevulcan]

Na na na Wow Wow.

[trowuttatwo]

Hmmm I think when 'wow wow' was 'feeling very angry', he bit a little bit off the inside hole of BP's guitar - look closely at 0.28. Do we need to start a fund to buy him a new guitar?

[dylabnocturnal]

what a strange and wonderful fruitcakes you is

[Jvader88]

I want to see Wow Wow some puppet monster or caveman I imagine he would be

[lajungleboi]

reminds me of the cookie monster

[Jvader88]

This is so wacky lol actualy reminds me a bit of Mighty Boosh for some reason!

[tjdrummer13]

yeah agreed! bedroom philosopher has a similar sort of style to the music on boosh

[TimChuma]

I keep waiting for Wow Wow to say something about poo-poo. Yes, in that voice!

[DominicJones]

Sorry trowuttatwo, you're dead right. It was my sleepy self that confused the two. No need for polls! Argh. I've only heard the song about 30 times!

[trowuttatwo]

"Sorry trowuttatwo, you're dead right." haha - Nup I am still alive, I do feel dead most of the time and the other day I found someone discussing me on Yahoo answers and there was a rumor I 'could' be dead - I found that very funny (well amusing that someone was scared I may not be alive still) and is why I wrote on my youtube channel that I am actually still alive! Ok, I promise no polls ;-) Just playing around with words, but the thing about a rumor that I may be dead is actually true! Susan

[trowuttatwo]

When I actually do die, could someone make sure this is played at my funeral please! ;-)

[lyallsf]

This clip would look even better if it was posted in HD on Vimeo (YouTube higher quality doesn't cut it).

Great vid.

[DominicJones]

Yes. It would. Those tie patterns should be rendered in the highest possible quality modesty allows.

[DominicJones]

Yeah, but La La La will take you HIGHER.

Totally smokin'.

[trowuttatwo]

I thought it was La la la can only take you so far, na na na can take you higher??????? Just watching the lips it looks like na na na is what takes you higher - but I may be completely and utterly incorrect.

[trowuttatwo]

Can we take a poll on this? Looking at Justin while singing, even my better half agrees that it looks like NA NA NA will take us higher. I thought it was important to find this information out. After all, I don't want to settle for second best.. I DO want to be sure I am singing the lyrics that will take me higher.....so I am thinking la la la will only take me so far and the secret is in the NA na na's? imagine a confused smiley face inserted here!

[ThursdayEnterprise]

wow wow is so annoying, the rest of the song is pretty good but wow wow killed the song

[MintySox]

omg, how annoying is this voice at the beggining.

[maxcelcat]

Dude, that's some funky dancing...!

[BillDrummondOfTheKLF]

Damn impressive stats you've got there. Good to see an Australian band being the second most watched video for the week, ahead of Beyonce, Rhianna and Kings of Leon. Can't all be down to the colours either.

Fancy a remix?

[trowuttatwo]

So the trumpet was played by a member from the CAT EMPIRE - cool!

[TheKnifeSharpener]

Damn this is good.

That chorus has got sumer all over it.

[AudreyHorne99]

man I LOVE this!!!

So catchy.

[DominicJones]

"Hmmm....what was that? A Tuesday night residency all through December at the Northcote Social Club? Thanks Wow Wow....oh, except for the 30th. Right, got it. No Wow Wow I don't have anymore beef jerky, you had the last of it."

[MissMandaAU]

That I enjoyed.

[bleedinggates]

TRIPOD LOVE! (L)

[TheKnifeSharpener]

me too man

[ployeeeee]

man i had dis song in my head at work all day

[lilbamper]

Sweet as bru

Very impressed with the appearance from Tripod

[DropbearX]

Bedroom Philosopher is king of the mods!

[NewPhilosopher]

For some reason I found this song disconcerting. I don't know why though. I think it might have been Wow Wow.

[beastiesandnasties]

such a cool clip, but WTF?!

[Tasmaniac21]

I thought I could hear Scott Edgar in there. I love this song. :)

[antelope19]

Yea, I love how Scod's voice is the overriding one in the chorus, so awesome. He's got the most distinctive voice in Tripod I reckon.

[holdenman08]

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo gay

[dongaville87]

Hey is that the Australian comedy trio tripod backing you up? Doth my eyes decieve me?

[noofa14]

nope they r there for sure. i saw it to

[supermanjack94]

yes tthats tripod

[Skarsnik101]

f a i l

[trowuttatwo]

Ok - can anyone else hear a noise at 1.06 that sounds very like the default incoming email sound that outlook express uses. Maybe its the dinosaur pc I am on at the moment (borrowed one) - I've been caught out 3 times thinking an email was coming in. It may be just me, but hey, if anyone else checks, it will help Justin get to his 10,000th view, so it wont be a waste of time.....

[evilteacups]

SKITHOUSE

[TrentSUB]

catchy tune. that voice remeinds me of my english teacher miss worthigton.

[trowuttatwo]

Geez you poor thing, has it traumatized you? Having an english teacher that sounded similar to Cookie Monster....or other.....monster??? My english teacher just liked to recite Shakespeare all the time will standing on top of his desk ...for some reason.... LOL

[BarkMarc]

this is acctuly realy cool haha

[astrobic]

hey nice work on the vid :)

[vandirk86]

Holy shit this is awesome

[SharpesAccomplice]

Weird song... but the retro suits and effects are just TOO cool!

[TheKnifeSharpener]

Wrong Zootex.

this shit is HOT.

[Zoootex]

shit

[AudreyHorne99]

I can just tell this song is going to be in my head all day!

[AudreyHorne99]

OMG those suits are hot.

[AudreyHorne99]

OMG those suits are hot!

[AudreyHorne99]

Who needs to see that when you've got this. It's insane!!

I love it!!

[MinusG]

now i KNOW you haven't seen a midget humping a pony!

watch?v=YlSlcD99jMI

[TheKnifeSharpener]

Maybe she's an offspring of Voldemorte? He seemed to be 'sans nostrils' also.

Treat with mercy. Torture with Wow Wow!

[secretfoxanimation]

Over 6,000 views in 2 days??? Amazing! Justin you are some kind of Norse Demi God....with glasses. Well done! :)

[AngryHippy]

Moar metaphorical marriages.

Wow Wow, your song's been in my head all day & I LOVE it!

[DominicJones]

Err....that's metaphorically speaking of course, obviously I'm a male and have no intention of actually courting the velvet-suited gentleman tap dancing in socks, it's purely figurative of course.

[AngryHippy]

My friend wants to marry the Tap-Dancer at 3.00.

[DominicJones]

Me TOO! he's a dish.

Check those moves!

[trowuttatwo]

If this is anyone's 1st time- 1st time experiencing the Bedroom Philosopher & his work that is...why not check out "the happiest boy" and "I'm so postmodern" (if there is anyone out there who doesn't know it, you are in for a treat) - get to know Justin a little better, he is a fantastic artist, a genius with words, a very funny bloke and comedian.. and you may then understand even more why his fans love and support him so much! And check out his site and sign up to his 'laptopping'ezine - FAB!

[DominicJones]

And if anyone would like to get to know Wow Wow, why not befriend him on Myspace?

You can find him under the name: hellomynameiswowwow.

Nice.

I'd put int he link but YouTube doesn't seem to allow it.

[TheKnifeSharpener]

Hi Mary! The Bedroom Philosopher doesn't discriminate. All are welcome at his shindigs. Come on down! Have a free badge.

[TheKnifeSharpener]

chromophobia perhaps?

[iamaknobhead24]

zomg stfu... epic fail

[eedobee]

FAIL

[DominicJones]

He lived there for a while yeah. went to school there.

He's from Burnie.

Wow Wow on the other hand, seems to be from Bolivia.

[mrtibbs24]

this guys from canberra right?

[trowuttatwo]

DominicJones is correct, he is from Burnie which is in North West Tasmania, (about an hour and a half from where I live actually). It's located in the top part of Tassie. But he is based mostly in Melbourne, though performs in other capital cities.

[TheKnifeSharpener]

Same veevee87. I imagined something kind of like Grug - do you remember him? Hairy triangular dude who lived near a hill. I'm guessing the birds are making me think of that. Man this song won't get out of my head.

And I don't mind.

[veevee87]

I, too, was hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive Wow-Wow, but it wasn't to be.

I imagine him to look something like a cross between Cookie Monster and a pile of old rags.

..in a good way.

I just love this.

[NewPhilosopher]

I thought he was the line that moved up and down as he spoke. I imagined that was his like his mouth and that he was like a spirit in the landscape or something.

[coomadoug]

great work, congrats on the feature

[trowuttatwo]

Has anybody else brought up - or noticed, the lack of shoes! LOL, was it because it was easier to dance with no shoes - perhaps due to the green screen effect on the floor? One of the dancers has commented here, so he will know the answer. Perhaps it's a 'Bolivian' law - NO SHOES WHILE RECORDING ;-)

[Wedders]

I'm trying to figure out what the audience for this song is and all I can come up with is people who don't speak English. Although even then I think it would be pretty annoying.

[BillDrummondOfTheKLF]

Top quality stuff.

Original, odd, memorable.

Would like to SEE Wow Wow at some point though.

Any chance of a follow-up single?

[kaptaintoenail]

reeks of desperation. gimicky.

5 out of 5 vomits.

[DominicJones]

Seems like it's a featured video for the week.

Surely no one else in Australian pop culture thinks of using colours in this way. Insofar as retro style turns 21st Century chic with a side order of cheese, it's a winner.

[TwillBill]

Well I love it. It's just so stylish.

[RockinPanic]

This is bullshit

[Skyline0000000]

I guess it was an attempt to make a video in this style..." Мумий Тролль-Невеста " <-(copy-past it to search in youtube and u'll c)

[nanandpoprecords]

I'd disagree. That clip uses a somewhat creepy primitive looking virtual reality computer vector graphic thing. The above is real footage with animation over the top. Much closer to Deee-Lite's Groove Is In The Heart, surely...

[trowuttatwo]

I agree! - the other clip is interesting, arty, but I would say as Justin has said himself that this is similar to Deee-Lite's 'Groove is in the heart' - one of my all time favs. And this is Australian and I cannot remember anything else similar to this in an Aussie video, please do remind me, but I am pulling a blank at this time. It's unique and like art, I think it's not that important to 'get it' - just ENJOY it.

[studionightbird7]

this is so cool. yea made no sense. but had a great tune ;)

[sugarplumapathy]

wtf is this? seriously i don't get it 0.o

[Doody444]

Ha, Sweeeet, nice work dude (and co). Looks amazing and the tune's stuck to my synapses like blur, back in '97. Just next time, could you get us on board, we want to record in Bolivia.

[trowuttatwo]

I cracked up over the Bolivia recording marker too!! yep, that's one catchy tune, wonder if anyone is old enough to remember other catchy tunes that changed our life - Aga do do do, Da Da Da, I eat cannibals, the chicken dance - not that I am comparing, this is far superior :-)

[TwillBill]

Awesome! So funny and wacky! I love the mod/psychedelic designs.

[aangelo23]

wtf is this shit

[trowuttatwo]

that's 5 x #1 rankings now Justin. Your fans are right here supporting you-thanks for your wonderful & entertaining music!!

O_______________________O

[DominicJones]

You've created a monster Bedroom Philosopher. LOL.

[daneo14]

Grand song, I see Tripod in there too. Great 70s vibe. Reminiscent of Early Sesame Street, possible because of Wow wow's cookie monsteresque voice.

[trowuttatwo]

I can't help but be amused by people who leave rude comments about how this has been a quote 'waste of their time'(but usually much ruder lingo)If it was SUCH a waste of their time that they are angry, why don't they just move on to a vid they prefer? WHY do they waste MORE of their 'precious time',staying here longer,to actually write a comment when time is of the essence to them, & they think this is a waste of it-WHY NOT MOVE ON? I bet they even return to see replies,despite time constraints!

[TheKnifeSharpener]

Man you guys should tour the states.

San Francisco gets this stuff loud and clear.

Wow Wow for Prez, with a NERD remix.

[kennymelodica]

cool - 5 stars for pure awesomenessiousness pure gold

[BillDrummondOfTheKLF]

Oi. Watch it.

[nanandpoprecords]

PS Start the rumour: This whole thing is a practical joke by the KLF.

[nanandpoprecords]

Could you argue that the level of anger people feel towards songs says more about them than the material?

[DominicJones]

That's cool man.

You helped move Wow Wow's Song from 8th to 6th most discussed music video on You Tube today!

Cheers.

Comment again!

[th3spy]

oops, sorry, didn't mean to comment 3 times.

[th3spy]

this is so lame that I don't even know why I am wasting my time to post a comment on it.

Did I mention how lame it is?

So lame it actually makes me feel sick, heck, britney spears sounds better than this rubbish.

[trowuttatwo]

Justin - I predict a hit! And not the kind of hit in the face type hit. I've loved all your songs and been a fan for a while now, but this is special. Also love the 'Windsor Flare' work you are doing, heard it today for the first time. I think it is fantastic direction. C'mon all you BP fans, vote for this on the JJJ request form online so the song gets as much radio airplay as possible, it only takes a few secs to request it. It will make you feel good inside!

[DominicJones]

catchy like funky rabies.

[TheKnifeSharpener]

So the monster is a sound wave? I get it now. Cool. SHIT this is a catchy song.

[DominicJones]

Err..that should be Scod, not Spod. You'd know if Spod was all over it.

[DominicJones]

Well spotted gamgee, that Tripod alright. Listen out for Spod in the outro, he's all over it.

[gamgee2]

is that tripod in the background?

[janetarama]

I had to watch it again. Love it!

[DominicJones]

Man that timelleb dude is obviously Chris Brown using an alias, jealous because you're outrating him on today's stats.

Wow Wow. Sit on him.

[ttw08brisbane]

Go Justin- we love you!

[TheKnifeSharpener]

Mad. I usually hate psychedelic stuff like this, but this is different. Respect.

[timelleb]

this was a huge pile of dogshit thanks for wasting my fucking time.

[trowuttatwo]

Which dancer are you? You were all so fantastic!!!!!

[trowuttatwo]

[thomasjamesdoig]

hey hey, just one of the blue suits in the background bits. sideburns and mini-fro. 2.18 - 2.23. oh yeah.

td

[trowuttatwo]

Hey there from the forests of Tassie... now I loved YOUR performance - you made me smile because I appreciated the way you put your arm on your hip at the 'suggestion' that you were not popping and yepping correctly LOL. It must have been so much fun. Justin is the loveliest guy! love and light - Susan. I didn't get to dance but a dress pattern I sent was featured so I feel like I had a teeny weeny part to play in the clip :-)

[DominicJones]

Totally rad. And dapper.

I hope Wow Wow has been told about the friendly comments.

[FedGrapes]

nice job :)

[AngryHippy]

Yaaay! Wow Wow for Prez!!

[jamesa1234]

i really like this song. musical genius justin

[trowuttatwo]

ahhh (LOUD CLAPPING) love it, adore it, bow down to it. At 1.01 the coloured flowers came from my retro dress that I sent to the BP - he called for retro patterns & I had this dress that was soooo retro that I donated it & now it will live on, in the graphics of the clips (sooo proud! *tear*) CONGRATS JUSTIN, 10 stars from us. Super catchy, WILL BE a hit! us JUSTATAD'S are so damn creative ;-) love and light to you, Susan in Tassie xxxx Great to see Tripod & kudos to all who appeared! ALL GREAT!

[Destructorlio]

Can't wait to catch you when you're next in Perth again :)

[GoodGraciousMee]

[thomassiotom]

i heard this song this morning, and it was alright. then it was stuck in my head all day. something about it is very infectious.

[fizzlesticks42]

That's awesome!
