[prahSmadA1]

@Seb590 Nail on the head

[Seb590]

I just got a feeling that this song is like the perfect stoner song? Am I wrong thou?

[TrollingPapers]

@Seb590 i enjoy it either way. it is one of my top 5 songs ever. when I hear it, i dont know whether to feel good or cry. I usually do both. cudi makes me feel like hes talkin to me in every song. genius.

[xxDJXXSIGMAxx]

@Seb590 no not at all lol

[JRP21ification]

Wow. I'm a fetus and I listen to music like this

[MaddBrothers832]

[architektmartin]

ratatat, great!

[bacamd]

I can't even see the dislike bar!

[Ni99aBooty]

330/4 that's gotta be the best fucking ratio iv'e seen yet on youtube. cudi <3

[danktank20]

@Ni99aBooty its not uncommon to have that ratio with ratatat in the mix

[miked1997]

He shoulda pulled a jim morrison and said "fuck that" instead of forget that. And the other censorships

[lilnilla14]

Amazing song right here

[lovemeloncollie]

KID CUDI I LOVE YOU!

[beartowitness]

mike stroud's solo is mindbending.

[pmann12345]

he's so high but it doesn't matter cos he's a BOSS

[mahavishnuxc]

NO MGMT? DAMN IT....BUT AT LEAST CUDI IS HERE TO TRIP EVERYONE.

[DanielKohbad]

Haha letterman is holding the cover upside down in the end :D

[KevinDurant206]

This..Right here... is music to my ears

[TheBulls213]

Awesome performance

[zach77moon]

so fucking suave ha

[HockeyFan7374]

orgasmic solo.



[BiscuitsJoe]

@jkcp1000 derp

[BiscuitsJoe]

@jkcp1000 Well thanks for answering for me, but yes, I have played a solo. I have a band. But I've never played a solo on acid, so maybe that's what I'm missing.

[fWo]

I absolutely LOVE that he censored the "driving drunk" and "fuck that" parts, but not the part about weed. Such a badass.

[efficientsexy]

@fWo if he censored the part about weed what else can he sing about this song ahaha

[JayLeno823]

Sounds great, he's found his groove

[DraggingDogButtFilms]

@sf987photo be a badass

[sf987photo]

anybody know how to get that sound of the guitar? lmao

[AmericanMuscleCarSS]

I'm sorry to say this, but Kid Cudi is not very good live. I know it isn't going to perfect, but there are lots of other artists that do a way better job of sounding like the studio version of their songs.

If anything, this gives me some motivation to try and sing. He sounds like utter shit at some parts, but yet studio magic can fix it!

[matthewurdea]

@AmericanMuscleCarSS do you think artist sounds good Iive?

[AmericanMuscleCarSS]

@matthewurdea There are quite a few that do sound good live, that was the point I was making...

[sonny01red]

0:52 forget that? im screaming loud fuck that

[bposthumus9]

@sonny01red can't swear on national televisionnnn

[sonny01red]

@bposthumus9 we can do it here in austria and germany and holland wait whole europe can do that....

[bposthumus9]

@sonny01red well ya can't do it in canada and the united states .. haha

[sonny01red]

@bposthumus9 dumb Gouvernement is dumb :D

[DIB360]

stop hating on the guitarist. its called "getting into the song" its a beautiful solo and he was getting into the rhythm. cudi would agree with me.

[alec24aj]

Letterman held his cd upside down haha

[Jessay120]

This one is MUCH better than the one I just watched lol xD

[slashthetophat]

Wow, that dickhead Letterman looked like he didn't even want to say Cudi's name, let alone let him play.

[speekerz]

the way he says "bed" at 2:10 was fucking awesome

[home5weethome]

I LOVE THE HAND GESTURES!

[alec9tap]

For those of you hating on ratatat obviously know nothing...... Their the real talent behind this song..... and kid cudi is smart enough to realize this, and you should too

[vegasmia702]

Wow loved the performance kid cudi is a genius the guitarist was great dont hate but what was up with the hand gestures kinda weird but still loved it

[zshot2188]

the guitarist is just a dumbass

[shadow00theif]

@zshot2188 Don't hate if you can't back it up. How many shows have you played with Cudi?

[zshot2188]

@shadow00theif what, dont hate if i cant back it up, this is fucking youtube what am i suppose to do go find you a say that the guitarist in this video looks like a dumbass.... i would do that but i dont know you or know where you live..... and he was just rockin out too much for such a chilled out song it is

[Defenderofmankind]

@zshot2188 the guitarist is a dumbs? cudi himself would slap you in the face for making a comment like that about his favorite guitarist from his favorite band...this song would be nothing without rata tat

[zshot2188]

@Defenderofmankind why would u go through 3 pages of comments and choose mine..... which is a month old

[JimStrong94]

@zshot2188 he's over dramtic with his movements, he's playing really slow and boring solo and he's freaking out like he's buckethead or something

[ScrollerRoller]

better than studio

[sjb413]

kid cudi's mad hot. the guitar guy kinda ruined things, but it's chill

[friedricey]

@sjb413 I liked the electric guitar part. : )

[theguglicha1]

Kid Cudi = Genius

[elocrellim]

@theguglicha1 Ratatat = Genius

[techn9ne7777]

@elocrellim Your mom = Hot

[supadupaweirdo]

doesnt sound that great without MGMT-the corros part :/

but stil amazing!

[krisbyeah]

He's so sexy.

[pointlessaccountzomg]

good solo, I love how it sounds, but seriously what's with the leaning back? o:O

[ghune]

Il ike the lyrics, Kid Cudi is the Man!

[Defenderofmankind]

all you people saying the guitarist gets way too into it obviously dont appreciate music enough. he's getting lost in the music and besides Mike stroud is an amazing guitarist! this song would be nothing without ratatat! Cudi would agree with me

[giveittomeidiot]

you can tell that cudi is trying not to laugh at that guitarist druing the solo.. haha

[breezy4852]

if mgmt was with him this it would have been that coolest shit ever but still awsome

[wiinerd1234]

@breezy4852 that would be sweet, but I hate that people give mgmt more credit than ratatat just because they are more well known, all mgmt did in this song was sing in the chorus, ratatat did the beat, piano, synth, and guitar

[breezy4852]

@wiinerd1234 i feel you i love mgmt but after seeing ratatat live it made me see how talent they are i mean mgmt can't touch them and this is coming from a huge mgmt fan

[Creecher66]

motherfucking letterman holding the cd upside down

[CallMeNateDawg]

[KiddleyB]

Aw his actions! Amazing performannce Cudi :D

[execz12]

The person who doesn't like this video is alone.. I said this, I said nothing..

[BouncingBasterd]

196 people know what music is,

one person sucks!

[jxc1013]

His voice is so fucking mysterious man, it's hypnotic.

[bizzatch926]

theres something about that first "yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhuhhhhhh­" that makes my mind go crazy

[VMKKOOP]

[sarahjessica1242]

[GS100Leo]

Genius!

[xyzxizxyz]

Guitarist got too into it X)

[xyzxizxyz]

You know why he wore the shades right ^^?

[Dmastaxxx]

Best song

[heialeks]

Why isn´t this kid bigger?

[MrStefanJepsen]

I'm on the pursuit of happiness..... GHOST BUSTERS!



[TheKzelaya1]

WOW! An artist that sounds like how he does in the studio!

[DarthObri]

i like how on live shows he gotta go "forget that" and "darn" and such

guess we won't have a live tv show of poke her face

[allsic]

it is a nice song.. but it think it could be nice if he moves his body on the stae.. i mean walk around do something else than jsut stay there....

[AmericanSeaBass]

@allsic Woah woah woah. This song is just chill, the movements he does just adds to it. Him running around the stage wouldn't go with the feel of it.

[mmmmmdevine]

did anyone else notice that he messed up in the beginning?? i still love this guy

[vegard4ever]

@mmmmmdevine I think he just changed the lyrics, because he was meant to sing driving drunk, and maybe he thought of the kids watching :p

[gpbentley]

agreed.

[pasayed51]

i bet mike the guitarist is really good at doing the limbo

[OriginaLMoLaka]

@pasayed51 lmfaoooooo this made me happy

[pisellazza]

ratatat guitarist's moves are the top

[kcicirello726]

[bengraeff1]

RATATAT makes this song what it is

[hellohome]

hahaaa nahh kid cudi is bossss

[123megastub]

that blazer hoodie is fresh as shit...

[BiscuitsJoe]

The guitarist is WAY too into that solo for how chill it is. Lol.

[Hrko1992]

@BiscuitsJoe weed is a wonderful thang

[carrionj1991]

@BiscuitsJoe he's feeling the music man, no matter how slow it is, people got to feel the rhythm, thats how musicians do it. they move with their instrument.

[ROckstarP17]

Ratatat made this song what it is, Kid Cudi only brought their musical genius to the mainstream scene

[ricerage]

0 dislikes. 

[FLrush]

some of you just need to embrace the martian

[RunyonGrn07]

[SuperJesusPiece]

[VinnyMcFly]

Kid Cudi isnt worthy of Ratatat

[KingJamesFTW]

@VinnyMcFly your dumb please stop talking

[VinnyMcFly]

@KingJamesFTW fuck the haters smoke kush

[riceandbeans643]

@VinnyMcFly even Ratatat would disagree

[VinnyMcFly]

@riceandbeans643 party with children

[pidgeon63]

@VinnyMcFly Yah man your fucking dumb. Cudi is a musical god.

[VinnyMcFly]

@pidgeon63 you're right, his alternative rock influences really solidify his demiurgical talents.

[MakTheMc]

hes beast even with censored words man mr rager tell me where your goin?!?!

[kennytang54]

No dislikes!

Lets keep it that way!

[owaaaa984]

is letterman holding the cd upside-down at the end?

[tammirose432]

I hate the censorship.. but good performance

[soulskater100]

Is it just me? Or is kid cudi like a reincarnation of jimi hendrix?

[rrhodes1980]

i love how he holds the cd upsidedown at the end haha

[st803120]

I love this song. With his new album that's out, though, I'm worried. Is everything ok in the head for Cudi? His new album is soo dark and seductive. I love it, but just concerned for the man

[rickCud1dykstra]

NICE:)

[JimmyCarterV2]

The Announcer Shouldve Been Black....

[jondeoleo]

damn cable tv, cant curse

[Mumriks]

Loving the Ghostbusters t-shirt.

[Y10NRDY]

That was pretty freaking awesome. He needs to enlist Ratatat's help in all he does.

[anealzone6]

skinnys jeans to the death ! who gives a care if they look like wet suits

[MLBnation24]

@anealzone6 what do u mean who gives a care?

[anealzone6]

[leakeg]

RATATAT need to produce the whole of his next album.

[michaelstarfish]

[xdiesease]
