Bloc Party - Mercury (Video)

[fyo900]

1:10 wut teh hell is that

[HolidayKirk]

Fucking awful song. And I like Bloc Party.

[Nectarsea]

amazing



[carale1986]

Murk your reason.

A telling sentiment, especially for anyone with a rising in Mercury. Don't worry, it's already done. Might as well make comfort with. I did. At least, I try. The attitude of flight will do that. Bites back on everything from time to time, even itself.

Lobster Johnson is a myth. Lobster John SmitH is not. And we've all felt the sting of the lobster's claw, like as naught. Another dead aphorism wrapped inside an allegory, played out to the still beating feet of Malkuth

[erickthalles]

porra por que apontar justo pro Brasil?

Video sinistro o.O

[PenguinMasterChannel]

@erickthalles O pior que eles colocam uma banana em Espírito Santo, como se lá fossi uma mata amazônica.

[cheetah139]

mercury actually is in retrograde right now o.o

[streetkingbrad]

IS THIS REALLY THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR MERCURY! XD

[Beckin2]

POrra essa musica e do figth nigth 4 mas nao ea que eu to procurando porque ela esta modificada

[Morghman]

Like if you're here cause of Midnight Club

[kickyadown32]

lol i like how they changed Yale to Vale (George Bush went to Yale)

[OhkaBeFree]

@kickyadown32 i dont like or dislike bush but just like to say what college did you go too? oh thats right

[kickyadown32]

@OhkaBeFree Im not dissing him because he went to Yale, in fact it would be foolish to say hes even remotely unintelligent whether you agree with his political decisions or not. and accepted to UPenn early decision

[OhkaBeFree]

@kickyadown32 im just tired of hearing everyone blame one president or another it gets old. thats all if i jumped the gun i apologize just it gets old

[truejew98]

the apes need for bannanas represent george bush's oil invested followers need for the arab world's oil

[DoomAnarchy]

The CSS remix of this song is much better...

[pippintoon]

What the fuck did I just watch?

[cytorack]

epic song *-*

[pwnsaucepwny]

Not even a million views. What a shame.

[indyaidan]

only 3 dislikes ... still to many

[jdBLUE2583]

What this video have to do with Mercury Retrograde? I love the song and dislike the video.

[ShuklaInToonTown]

@jdBLUE2583 In astrology, it's supposed to mess up communication. Bush was elected during Mercury Retrograde, and only won because Florida kept switching it's vote.

[Drylolsauce]

Merc-merc- mercury's in retrograde.

[FluffyMuffinFilms]

This is funny but also, horrifically dark at the same time. Wow :o

[Kilanna]

love how the commercial before watching this was a promo for Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

[TheStreakfree]

I think this video might be about waking up to an authority that can't be trusted. It might be about abandoning pointless things like material, clothes or meaningless relationships, because people need to realize what is happening to the world and humanity. Judging by the intense sound starting at 2:50 this song could be meant to ignite paranoia or awareness of some weird conspiracy.

[ChuckTrebloc]

She fucked SMITH?! D:

[GJB95]

OMG WTF?!?! i cant tell if im on acid or not :'{

[UrbanMedic07]

You can hear the hidden message:

"Fuck You Reasson"

[s91475]

What's weird about this video? It's just about a bunch of gorillas creating a bull-lobster-whatever-else hybrid to infiltrate human society and eventually become the president of the United States. At which point they instruct their creation to initiate wars against banana producer in order to control ALL the banana in the world! Muhahahaha! Cause ya know, gorillas like bananas. Very simple.

[lorenzosa3]

nice video

[maybee44]

AAAHH ITS BILL CLINTON

KOSOVO JE SERIBA!!!!!!!

:)

[milaavanillaa]

@maybee44 YES MAYA!

[warinpants]

MANCRABMOOSE

[jfusion10]

noooo this video is about George Bush. Thats why it's not weird.

[cowproductions900]

wow and i thought britney spears music videos were weird....

[Reigendrummer95]

I think it's supposed to represent their views on how the government basically controls every aspect of our lives and that if something's wrong, they just replace any faults with an ideal person.

That, or I am just so fucking mind blown.

[chipmnk87]

haha this is brilliant i seem to not only be the person who knows what mercury is in retrograde means but that combined with the video lol u all just proved bloc parties point bwuahahaha

[kerio993]

ooo THIS is how they made Obama ! lmaoooooooo hahahahahah 1:48 .....ahhh yesss *jumps up and down kuz he understands*

[kerio993]

ooo THIS is how they made Obama ! lmaoooooooo

[sugarpuff93]

[OppressedbyGravity]

@creativecrappu Yo mama got crystal balls between her legs.

[dabanditisback]

This video is genius. They are "talking" about you.

[YardSaleexperience]

[akatssumaru]

2:59  what the hell was that!?!?

[grungifiedtwo]

Awesome song.

Interesting video.

[jwolf2221]

most randomest vid of the year. i loved it

[demonsummoner3]

Ha! Loved it.

[AznfulKid]

i was trying to watch Bloc Party - Mercury (Video) not planet of the apes. lol

[USBfunction67]

looks like a highschool video project. Virdict, didnt like it at all but i still love bloc party... BP 4EVER

[ElevateState]

Explanation:

The apes represent the primal side of mankind suppressed throughout the ages. Primitive side of mankind is volatile, quick to kill and comform. They want to take over the human mind once again as they once did during the early years of human history. They symbolically engineer a beast. This is George W. Bush. The video follows the different parts of his political and personal history. He takes power and starts the current war. The primitive mind succeeds. Great video.

[MyLife4Urs]

Mylife: Oh i thought everyone was just going banana's and that an evil bull creature is going to take over the world

[Offspringdude999]

@ElevateState Yeah, too bad you typed something wrong, like that Bush started the war. Al Queda did when their stupid fags and girly men attacked America, Because they're too stupid too fight like real men.

[Naacix]

@Offspringdude999 Lol just shut up you are so misinformed it's not even funny.

[Offspringdude999]

@Naacix 'Misinformed'? What you just said is like trying to tell me that America started the war against Japan in 1941 when Japan was the country that attacked us! Stop trying to indoctrinate me with your faggish citified liberalism you stupid city fool.

[Naacix]

@Offspringdude999 Typical redneck, we were forewarned in the late 1900's to not go to their country, the war was already going on before 9/11, when we technically attacked them, bush didn't care. His fault. You're stupid simple minded and ignorant. We done? or are we going to go round and round? Stupid country boy.

[Offspringdude999]

@Naacix I understand what your saying about how we were forewarned and that Bush didn't care. I'm not trying to start an argument with you and I'm not mad at you for all the mean things you called me. All I'm saying is that the terrorists DID attack us and that was wrong for them to do, since we never attacked them. They were simply angry at us for sending our troops to their holy land. Thank you for letting me voice my opinion and I'm sure you will forgive our misunderstanding.

[Naacix]

@Offspringdude999 I called you these names cause you acted like what I called you or else I wouldn't of said it. For them it was right, which is entirely opinion. It's not 'wrong' for them to do it, however it's not 'right' either.

[nelsonater2000]

@Offspringdude999 "faggish citified liberalism" ... Maybe you should keep your shit to yourself you fucking redneck white trash piece of shit.

[mtdander]

@ElevateState I don't know about specifically George, he is the most prominent example but the war footage is old as well as new. I think this more symbolizes how dominant republican leaders have become elected though campaign trails build on salvation and created war and destruction using this promise as justification.

[supercaca12]

i love the song and the video :)

[superdragonblade12]

i like the song but the Vid WTF!?!?!?!

[TheUnMi]

wat

[nicknkub]

The song vs. the music video. Who wins?

[Nkbpro]

@nicknkub is that a trick question?

[FloppyBaby]

Worst album ever.

[Mrsmeez]

Lolwtf?

[dano1b]

i love this song lol

[nerfhunter117]

wtf is this

[beachguy67]

Why do people like this song? I think the better question is why do I like this song? So weird but so good

[tvman271]

Holy fuck, what the crap is this about?

[W0h7hereMR]

that was trippy

[Allplussomeminus]

If I ever have a party, I'm playing this song full blast!!! The kick pattern was just so cool! But SIMPLE! The snare and kick was just put together so well! I can't help but dance when I hear this! X ]

[darmi700]

jajajajajajajajaja very very funny jajaja

[Jaggerlock]

So much meaning in this video!!!! AMAZING!!! Technology is expanding beyond what we can handle; we are dwindling with the unknown in an effort to gain power. The scientists are monkeys because the government is the ultimate source of money and power and the real smarts are bought over and controlled. Think about it, if you are a highly valuable scientist working for the govt then you aren't really allowed to travel. Your freedom is deprived due to the knowledge you own =]. We are all monkeys.

[CanandasFinest]

@Jaggerlock just shut up and listen to the song 

[Jaggerlock]

@CanandasFinest Just the fact that you read pages and pages of comments for this video.... lol get a life :)

[VidCritics]

Basically the monkeys created in this case a cow and because he was different he won the election.. they then used this cow-claw-man to launch attacks against countries with bananas (I'm figuring oil) and make the monkeys happy.

Like if this helped you out!

[theaceofspades39]

What the fuck

[Kilanna]

...To understand this video, I recommend listening to the song backwards.

I'm not kidding, the first words and a little bit of connecting the dots is all you need.

[bluejellyrox]

[ihatethingsboring]

Might as Well Been eating Shrooms while Watching this

[TheStroomis]

Hey you guys remember when Bloc Party didn't suck?

[haloman03]

It's like they took footage of an ape habitat at a zoo, and then dropped the video in a bong for a month.

[Lemure333]

Ummmmmm.....yeah...what he said...lol

[jabby120]

[Yeaahright]

The studio version is nothing compared to the live version.

[stupidmofucker]

This makes me believe Bloc Party has been Illuminati corrupted. It happens to all of them, eventually...money has no virtues.

[edwardlover444]

Amazing..... yet strangely messed up! I LOVE IT!

[supercaca12]
