Islands - Rough Gem

[JenkinsKellyify]

Ummm sounds liek two other songs When You Were Mine by Cyndi Lauper and We didn't start the fire....

[toofabtofunction]

Listen to We Didn't Start the Fire.

The same beat.

Still a good song :3

[Oosanbashi]

[xxkikomooxx]

[checherbud]

There is actually a rough version of this that was played live by the Unicorns somewhere on youtube. Not nearly as good though.

[homskllet]

soundtrack for my life.

[Sumkrazyguy55]

Holy shit, that electronic bassline is sexy

[xelsuelo]

Houston, I have a problem ♥

[hntrcmrn]

How can this video not make you smile? Seriously. Little kids in dog costumes, a hilarious video, and, best of all, Islands.

[runorimac]

Islands is such a step forward from the Us. Es verdad. And this vid is hilarious - love the training stuff. Can't wait for the next album - Islands is forever.

[sidebysarah]

You guys all say you miss the Unicorns, and I love them... but I just think that Islands is just such an improvement in every way. Just sayin.

[Becky0983]

"Captain we are being intercepted by and earth space craft" "Fire LSD laser!" :)

[cpmammoth]

[tgies]

@justmisskasik you realize that islands are two former members of the unicorns, right?

[TheRiteOne100]

@tgies which two dudes

[TheCrakgenius]

@justmisskasik this song is... but it was actually written before Islands was formed (or so I have heard) and was therefor probably written FOR the Unicorns

[tomriddle7514]

[shoeface95]

@tomriddle7514 lol

[chocoSK8MAFIA4LIFE]

[HappyHarey]

So everybody but cg islands died?

[UhmChristian]

You can't be mad while listening to this song, and the video is amazing in it's spontinuity, :D

[LipSyncExpert]

0:50 - 0:56... <3

[itezziebear]

ALL of this was filmed at the Huntsville Space Flight Center in Alabama. Wow... Gotta love Space Camp!

[Jignasty5]

the chorus sounds like 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Billy Joel.

[bideomanlol]

@Jignasty5 mmm that song is medicore listen to it by the rifles all about the league lol

[dairylandbogurt]

@Jignasty5 a tiny bit, that lil keyboard riff or whatever it is does sound quite similar

[katoness]

[504Dug]

[1saacable]

OMG. i dont know what attracts me so much to this song.

[jimmymortis]

But then again, their form of propulsion does seem to be a speaker..

[jimmymortis]

I love how the video looks like its the apollo mission but then in space we see them in a space shuttle. WTF!?

[Rayefrenzylol]

Islands are genius. :)

[PaintThatRedDoor]

Got to love the Islands!

[Mike1891138]

God this song sound likes Mystical ninja staring goemon. haha Love these guys!

[1FatSpaz]

Never really got into them, i love The Unicorns, but Islands are playing in Leeds, UK in April, so rekkon i'm gonna head down to the gig.

[procrastinats]

I had a dream it was all a dream

[Krakensince1995]

[emptyvid]

@Krakensince1995 they both have their good bits

[brainsinCan]

[ThisIsWarPro]

[MrRadicalPalomino]

[sweetadelinexoxo]

omg that guy's face at 0:46 is so hillarious

[chitalker]

@sweetadelinexoxo no i know huh. it's not funny until you consider everyone else. "oh." -> "?"

[mrfudgeyhead]

So, doggy world is the kind of place where Islands is considered chart topping pop music.

Damn. How did we end up here?

I'd be a dog if it meant trading Lady Gaga for Islands on the radio.

[steampoweredlife]

best comment ever.

[whitewayfarers]

@mrfudgeyhead

Best comment I've ever read.

[Geminisleviatan]

AWESOME THE UNICORNS *0*!!

[LacrosseCraze]

Who thinks the guy talking into the mike at 3:15 looks like Spanky from Little Rascals lol. Good song btw

[unwholly]

THIS HAS TO BE THE GREATEST VIDEO EVER!

(greatest video involving members of the unicorns that is..)

[rolandFRA]

Nick D did this with the unicorns before islands

[InfraRendell]

This video is amazing! Those little kids at the start are sooo cute!

[redmeens]

LOL at 0:50 I would love to got in one of them, but I would probably feel really ill afterwards!

[JohnnyRancid2]

My favorite part in this song is at 2:40

[thememoryrose]

Lovee it <3

it sounds like something from the british invasion. I like how it has a kind of '70s sound to it, not the modern day pop crap. Amazing!

[Audgerie626]

Agreed. The CGI stuff was weird, but I love that it looks like it's footage from the 70s!

[fallingphoenix14]

I can't wait for their new CD coming out in a couple of weeks!!

[dudewhatthehellman]

REALLY!? :D

[locollama45]

i love the music video

its so cute at the beggining

[gotztago]

It looks like Gene Simmons at 3:25

[itssericc]

amazing song to skate to

[shinigetsu]

Furries 0_o

[Blubiblub23]

perfect song for just going skateboarding.

[AldenNewcombe]

I agree!

So cool wandering in the streets and chilling with this song

[midnightskate]

@Blubiblub23

i always skate to this song hahah. i actually used it in a montage a few summers ago. its on my channel if you wanna check it :D

[watsaschiller]

Blubiblub23, i did this today lol. perfecto

[DoMaS969]

@Blubiblub23  and riding! :)

[idiotkari]

I've never heard of this band. I was at value village and saw a really cool shirt that says "I AM A ROCK, I AM ISLANDS" so I bought it. I googled it and this band came up. Is that their merch?

Either way, who thought VV could introduce to a band this good.

[odkinsATetsy]

yep, that's their shirt :)

[monsterfreak4pk]

lol i love the music and the guy on 0:55 looks like demetri martin

[KingKomura]

wow it totally does

[birdfish700]

THE BEST

[birdfish700]

this song is great

[MeLuCeRs1]

Love this song! =D

[walterzurick]

soo good at pride this year!!

[quiet451]

This is one of my favorite Unicorns songs. (RIP)

[detlenes]

sorry if I sound stupid/uninformed here..but Unicorns? I thought this song was by Islands from the "Return to the Sea" album..

[quiet451]

Same Nick, different band. He also put Abominable Snowman on Arm's Way which he wrote with the Unicorns.

[detlenes]

ah I see..thanks.

[TechnoGod13]

they used to be called the unicorns but then they broke up and without the drummer they made a new band

but you should check out the unicorns if you like this

[gobbleykins]

Without the red haired guy who was not the drummer you mean. Jaime (the drummer) was in Islands for this album, but then he quit so now it is only Nick from the original Unicorns.

[odkinsATetsy]

Islands, the latest incarnation, consists of Nick, Jamie (Jaime), and brothers Geordie and Evan Gordon. They just started touring a few days ago. Alden (the redhead of which you speak) of the Unicorns is in a band now called Clues.

[airsoftSU]

this is their second band

[nutjunker]

lol wut

[mattlowe5566]

Best song ever!@!!@!!! <3 The flute!@!!

[cadenmccann2]

very cool sound, the singer sounds a lot like jarvis cocker

[thenoah23]

damn, everybody is in this video, haha. so dope

[11multimedia]

Reminds a lot of Sims 1, 2 ,3 music for me!

[princessandgoblin]

thTs awesome!

[AirBornToxityCLAN]

Love this song.

[BlaizeFalconburger]

I love this song. I went into HMV to buy Return to the Sea...but they didn't even have a spot for Islands anywhere. Bastards.

[Skwisheez]

This song has such a cool sound.

[Cmerr14]

It is the first day in North Dakota this year where it is over 65 degrees... I am outside on my balcony reminiscing about summers that have gone by... this song takes me back... I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Best summer song ever!

[ohhjesuss]

i love this song, it makes me so happy :)

[tydurden101]

did anybody see the Islands on "How's Your News?".....

[boliverburell]

its just "Islands"

[tydurden101]

your point?

[W1LD3B34ST]

Its not that big of a deal...

[loveinsighter]

Oh...love this sound! very cute..

2:28 - 2:40 = TRUE happiness!

[apple0zebra]

i miss the way islands used to be

[JeetThe1337]

you are such a hipster

they were only the way they used to be for a single album.

any further back and it's the Unicorns.

[apple0zebra]

haha, okay. let me revise my statement then, i miss the way islands used to be, pre-arm's way, when j'aime was still in the band. i also miss the unicorns. clear, aye?

[apple0zebra]

fyi i saw them perform when they toured with metric in march 06, before anyone even knew who they were. they set off smoke bombs in the theatre. i miss that too! and that was a few months before the album even came out, so..

[utewbisgay]

yeah, i saw them on that tour too. and i was like wtf is islands and then like omg nick! saw them in philly, they were incredible. made up for the terrible show they put on as the unicorns, was really fun. sadly i found their new album to be generic trash

[SgtBoomerang]

thats fucked

[sanderson004]

Yeah man same .. UNICORNS kickass !!

[Werock4roll]

I wish they used the keyboard more like the unicorns instead of flutes.

ah and when i first started watching this vid and looked at the dog costumes i was like ???

[redstickwoman]

i was so depressed and i saw this video and couldn't help but smile.

[izzyczzunow]

Well you must feel like an idiot, KanzakiForever77.

[tgies]

Really? How's that work? They put out their first album in 2006.

[Laylamexic]

owned..hahaha

[CryoShock]

haha you're 3 years old

[cookieMage]

this song is very catchy

[ClassicRocker30]

I just bought the arms and I love it. The problem is the Unicorns werre so great its going to take a live show to convince me.

[SketchStudio]

I love this song. people might find this video as a joke (i dont pay attention to the video, i loom at other pages) but i just love this song. at the mo its my favorite

[Longcatcrusade]

Bob Geldaf was Pink in The Wall

[psychedelicSAUCE]

this is pretty hackin catchy.

[muggedby]

[gdw1221]

[TomLoco09]

There in dog suits because their fighting fleas in a dogs age

[vxy357]

Love the song. The kids in the video are just so adorable but the video itself sucks. I don't understand why everyone is wearing a dog suit.

[ajajajskates]

its because i have a big cock

[Cliffs0fDover]

LOL!!

[Kill908090]

FUNNY

[jesssicakes]

the kids in the beggining voices are so cute i want to eat em up :P

[ajajajskates]

lolololollolololol!

[Cliffs0fDover]

LOL!! His name is funny.

[Effexorseroquel]

The rift reminds me of "We Didn't Start the Fire" - Billy Joel.

[pkim13]

that's exactly what my brother told me when i was listening to this song

both songs are epic

[FourPiratesEatingPoo]

Agreed!

[cbproducktions]

Yeah, that's immediately what I thought of when I heard this song.

[Paradoxinol]

Les islands, ça groove!!!
