Keller Williams - Play This

[flyfishmich]

I feel sorry for the folks that aren't intelligent enough to catch the irony and humor of this song. Its NOT meant to be good, but rather a statement on mainstream music, in general.

It also shows that Keller could have a great mainstream/pop career if he chose that route. The song is excellent for the genre that Keller was imitating.

[MonteCarlo350i]

your right, screw the radio and what they say is cool!

[THX10538]

wow, it's sort of like a GOOD punk rock song.

Keller is the man, a true one man band

[davesarush]

keller always kills it! he oozes talent

[sk8er4ever0101]

ahhh, i still remember the sday this album came out

[dannythedrone]

haha green day blows chimp balls.

[jruss984]

Yeah man it's weird, Jack Black reminds me so much of Keller.

[lehman]

I think he should stick with the live music :)

[staplebug]

my guitar teacher taught this guy

[cheryld159]

I got to see Keller when he was at the Horseshoe Casino 09/23 & let me tell you, he brought down the house!

[Melaney755]

i personally dont like this... to punk like..

[IOWABOY1000]

I like it, the message is great

[zack11291]

its making fun of the punk like songs that are on the radio...

[mottag8830]

agreed

[csljones131]

The reason it's punk like he's Keller is making fu n of punk bands. Hence the vocal sound at parts that sounds like he's speaking through a phone or something and the bleeped out words and everything. Read the liner notes of the album. Keller explains it.

[justvisiting222]

or just listen to the lyrics

[jdh358]

lmao! "or just listen to the lyrics"

[monstermaskus]

LOVE the bassline!

[HempForPresident]

He looks kinda like Jack Black in this video.

I'd love to see him and Jack Black play together sometime.

[HempForPresident]

oh my god I've never heard this but it's soooo good. Keller you own all.

[haylex95]

I saw him recently in a high times issue lol

[diskman66]

an ovation would be my guitar of choice to chuck off a cliff too

[chickenismightygood]

best part of the video haha

[Dookieaura]

I wish I could write an awesome song that makes fun of mainstream crap-rock. Maybe 0ne day I'll be that good

[haylex95]

Is this his only music video?

[Luke139]

haha wtf, he just threw away a perfectly good lute :(

[MCFractal]

Heh, that wasn't a lute, it was an Ovation guitar, they have plastic backs.

When my bandroom flooded, ours floated, so it theirs will be fine.

[Luke139]

hahaha whyed it flood? like rain or water pipe or something or what?

[MCFractal]

The river went over the banks while the storm drains were clogged with stuff.

[MCFractal]

The river flooded and the stormdrains were clogged.

[Luke139]

oh, that sucks

[BPADGtheGURU]

haha yeah man lovin it!

[Petermannc31]

Hell yea, this video was filmed in Easton ,MD mainly at the Avalon Theater

[largepeople]

god damn this guy is amazing

[peacemaker9080]

COOL

[FermentedFunk]

clever. heh

[milkman90210]

asume

[jswead3]

GENIUS

[davetoporek]

KELLER IS AWESOME

[samuel1811]

Im a little disappointed with this music video.

[davetoporek]

I am in a way too but I guess hes truly making fun of the mainstream rock media which is cool because as long as he stays as he once was thats rad

[davetoporek]

keller, not as cool as it could be Im not really diggin the heavy jam parts but its just me. oh and youve always reminded me of jack black, your manuerisms and all, and this is good, hey you know what you should do i'll put it in caps, you should JAM WITH JACK BLACK AND PUT IT ON VIDEO!!!

[pedro3000]

Your comment on this song makes the song even funnier. The whole point of the song is that he's poking fun at modern/pop music - so he wrote a song in a similar style ... if you don't get the joke - get out da kitchen.

[pedro3000]

Sweet hoodies too ... haha ... when I need a laugh I can always crank up this vid.

Hilarious.

[davetoporek]

yea I missed that I feel dumb

[MountainsInTheMist]

Haha this is awesome. I cant believe how close to the truth it is too.

[mikemalnor]

this is up there with Phish's video for 'Down With Disease'

[Smurfisnotblue]

I love the way he is sticking it to all the artificial wanna-be bands out there!

I'd be very surprised if any of them could "Play This!"

[SolarTiger]

"I just speed it up and put some fuzz on it..." classic!

[aligatorally]

haha I love Keller...

[anorexorcist1214]

hilarious. i agree with keller.

[atomsapple1]

Love Ya Keller! This was filmed in my hometown of Easton, MD at the historic Avalon Theater. I saw him play there last year, didn't know he was making a music video, too. Great show even though it was "loop-less". I agree with some of the other comments, if you don't know Keller's music and sense of humor, it's over your head. KEEP LOOPIN'

[spedwerd]

it's not supposed to be good it makes fun of pop music.

[awooding2]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Ive listened to Keller for awhile now and this is definetly a poppish type song. but the thing is hes ripping on pop musicians. Therefore....its funny! haha also its got that Keller uniqueness and specialness that we all love.

[awooding2]

also watching three kellers dance on stage is just hysterical.

[ajpurc]

LAME! I've followed Keller for 9 years. This=shit

[IOWABOY1000]

KELLER WILLIAMS IS MUSIC GOD!!

[darthaegis]

Awesome song and video.. Liked People Watching off that album the best.

[PockyCrisis]

marry me keller?? lol

The Chick from PockyCrisis

[jamisonpa]

YOU ROCK KELLER

[HeJustShatHisPants]

hes mocking shitty bands

[pcou0521]

suck a lot... I wont play this another time !!

[rawstar55]

he played this song when i saw him back in may. it was great

[theoddvark]

thats the beautiful thing about the new album. none of the songs sound very similar. its definitly not classic keller but i think its damn good. personally.

[madyetiattack]

none of the other songs on the album sound like this. all but like 2 songs are completely amazing on the new album. to all those who are too retarded to get it: he is making fun of pop punk today. it's in the sleeve of the CD.

[poortomshot8]

it seems weird to see keller do a music video, kinda looks out of place..but whatev, keller is some sort of god thats out of this world!!!!

[poortomshot8]

[MusicLover111]

Keller Williams owns me!

[Colour34]

Well it isnt pop.

[saucyjenkins]

There is no way that he is the best. he's still very good though. great song

[Rapunzelpig15]

this song is awesome live, what a guy, cant wait to see him in april

[poonpappy]

genius

[WayOutMan]

Man I remember watching playing at frat houses! He sure has come a long way!  Keller is always having fun!

[hayhay420garica]

kellers havin fun

[trippinbill34]

Awesome video - and great new cd. Always bet on Keller.

[kdar1]

"...The inspiration came from someone who said "why don't you write a song that sounds like the songs on the radio?" So I listened intently to 99.3 WYSK in Fredericksburg, Virginia and pretty much followed the formula of all the songs in this one continuous rock block. They all had distorted guitar, phone filter vocals and most importantly, they all had the word "fuck" taken out, almost as if it was a prerequisite to be played on alternative commercial radio."

[Colour34]

I also wouldn't concider this a pop song either, more funk.

[aacotter]

You obviously don't know what funk is, because that is not funk at all.

[mttgross]

yeah this is prolly kellar making fun of pop, but rolling stone and MTV wont get it Y R U SO STUPID MTV?

[taosma]

This song is great live but....this version is weak compared to alive one....too bad.

[taosma]

I like the video but not the version of this song. I guess i'm just too used to the live acoustic version. I would like to hear more off of his new album but if they are like this track I don't think I would buy it.

[DancingClams]

i love this. very different side of keller, but still very enjoyable. Keller is still cool, guy before me, this was the only POP-like song on the album.

[skooh22]

Keller,

What happened to you? You used to be cool. :(

[pedro3000]

Listen closer.

[Colour34]

"speed it up and put some fuzz on it" So true about music today. Keller is the man.

[stickmangrayson]

BRILLIANT.

...'speed it up, throw some fuzz on it'

HAA!!

[jdholli]

Its not supposed to be good. Its supposed to make fun of all the musicians who just put tons of effects on everything and hammer out I IV V chords and call it music. But i enjoyed it. Every second of it.

[janeferg]

keller is probably my favorite musician and it pains me to say it, but this has to be the worst keller song ever. i really hope i never hear this at a show.

[Phunkychickn]

Fun and funny video! Keller mocking pop music I assume. Hope MTV doesn't take it seriously and jump on it! Hahahaha! And don't let em Keller, I know you wouldn't anyway. Can't wait for the album and the NYC show! Seeya there! Yeah Keller!!!

[EJ791]

sort of weird. i guess i like it though. seeing keller in a couple of weeks
