@PerryHacksApples eh its an ok tab, he plays the first note twice each time, not just the once that you tabbed, only its slightly muted. Play the first note with your thumb while muting the string with your index finger and immediately play the same note with said index finger to achieve the effect Meric is using.
The Dodo's have been and will always be my favorite band of all time! Just hearing their music can put me in a better mood! They are truly the most amazing band ever!
Meric Long's such an amazing songwriter. No one else makes music like this.
I've actually been trying my hand at songwriting lately. I just put a new music video up on my channel. If any of you have a couple free minutes, I'd love to hear what you think of it. Thanks!
So I saw The Dodos tonight. FANTASTIC SHOW. After they played this song, I mustered up the courage to ask Meric about the video and what it meant. I asked, "Can you tell us about the video for that song?". He replied, "What do you want to know?". All I could think of to say was "What the fuck?". He laughed and then told me that he would talk to me about it after the show was over. He didn't :( but it was still really funny.
He probably just killed Meric because Meric is skinnier than him. Just look at his face at 4:49. His face clearly says, "Let's see how you like this, you skinny hippie."
This video isn't about smoking cigarettes at all. Its about how freakin' sick Meric's mustache is. Obviously after the video ends his mustache flies off, knocking that guy unconscious, frees Meric from being tied up, then conveniently lands back on his face.
