The Strokes - What Ever Happened - On MTV Live December 2005

[RubyTheOne]

He's clearly singing 'inside' in this version, potato heads :D

[luciii1114444]

its beside her not inside lol BUT HE CAN BE INSIDE ME ANYTIME.

[RicardoFollowill]

I actually think he says BESIDE her but okay.

[ailuJBby]

they fucking rock

[OriginalRM]

Even though MTV is shit today, you got to hand it to them for their camera work.

This is easily one of their best filmed sets

[electrojam1]

A hard choice but I think this is the best song the strokes have come out with...they're new album angles is pretty fuckin wicked too

[KidA1982KidA]

This is the song I want playing at my funeral. On repeat

[juniwilliams]

a love the guitar riff before the song changes up.

[mykeh56]

weed and this song...mmm

[smashedin2pices]

This band so jst so fuking RAD!!!!! THE STROKES ROCK

[boiledcarpet123]

oh my god. this is one of the few songs that makes my insides hurt in a good way.

[Theeternalcure]

Marie Antoinette :D

[stelaejova]

speechless...amazing

[iAple]

The Strokes are passion, hatred and ultraviolent sex incarnated.

[purplepunchi]

love this band love them to bits

[holdenhatesphonies]

Julian Casablancas has THE sexiest voice I've ever heard in my life. This is also the best band to ever exist...FACT

[InsomniumX]

"I want to be inside her" = The most fantastic, in-your-face, sexual yet beautiful and sweet lyric Julian has written yet.

[raddestgirlEVARR]

@InsomniumX I agree, except the beautiful "inside her" <3 lyric wasn't intentionally written, he just switched it up from the original line for performances of this song :)

[InsomniumX]

@raddestgirlEVARR Yeah, I know that the original line goes "beside her", i own the album... though I guess the fact that it's not on the studio version just makes me like it more : )! My mistake for writing "written" instead of, say, "spoken" or something.

And even though it's the least likely scenario, a little part of me would like to think that he had the inside her line down before but didn't want to be so direct on the album, or something.

[EternalDv]

@InsomniumX he says "I wanna be beside her" LOL

[polishgrl87]

Who else thinks Julian should be voted People Magazine's sexiest man alive?

[raddestgirlEVARR]

Inside her? Gahhh, the things this band does to me <33

THE STROKES FTW 

[leathersuitcase]

oh my god the bass <3

[Theeternalcure]

Marie Antoinette :D

[californialovinful]

My favorite song right now!

[bianka173]

Insid-

Oh my God... <3 *dies*

[jadorieee]

Sexiest voice ever.

[yamiirocks]

MTV played good music back then? what a shocker.

[cornygirl2008]

OMG HIS VOICE JUST SCREAMS SEX!!!

[inyoureyes1001]

The Strokes will always be my favorite band

[15musician1995]

His voice is incredible here.

[smith0crystal]

There's something heart-wrenching about this song.

Brings me to tears everytime.

[Strokeofluck12]

Marry me Jules.Marry me.

[IShudBeStudying]

Oh MTV, what ever happened?

[4455matthew]

ahh tennessee, what did you write?.... hahaha, I always loved that!!

[AGracelessLady]

Ooooh god...

[Immigrant312]

that pause is so epic

[aliematrix21]

Each album, Julian will choose an outfit that he will use it as long as it takes until they finished promoting that album..

[ElskorchoFilms]

@aliematrix21 haha your so right

[donovan2010c]

@aliematrix21 ha ha but i think his new leather jacket sunglasses look is here to stay

[aliematrix21]

@donovan2010c damn right!! pretty cool look though..

[mesinjahit10]

oh my god,is this really mtv?so they did play some real music back then..

[curiosityplease]

why do i always feel so emotional around 0:52 of the song. every. time.

[Conceicawo]

@curiosityplease Same here, I've never had the chance to see them live, but I think that moment will bring me to tears, along with the 'Oh Tennessee, what did you write?'-part.

[DayTripperEC]

The riff guitar is just so AMAZING ... and Julian can feel it 0:53 - 0:57

[lilballerina]

he changed it omg that is so sexy

[Allureist]

You can be inside me...

[Aquamarine611]

2:31- 2:34 oh shit....<3

[Daanyi]

@rubyhaleybenjamin exactly, is something that just The Strokes can do!

[Daanyi]

00:52, The best part, makes me cry!!! :'(

[Tallukeah]

If that isn't it then what is it?

[polishgrl87]

Oh Julian <3

[SonnyAndLuigi]

music would be worthless without the Strokes <3

The Strokes Forever ! :D <3

[Strokeofluck12]

[musicandlove516]

[chris7stewart]

@musicandlove516 Not the second time around, though.

[BorisGaquere]

too many of these comments are from girls, some men gotta come in here and balance out the hormones

[GillenHamsun]

@BorisGaquere

:DDD you are right. I'm a girl but.. anyways totally agree

[waterbottles26]

@BorisGaquere Hahahaha! That actually made me laugh. Thats so true :D

[Titanicluver321]

[Indietree0]

[DebLovesAM]

[LauraStark5]

7 dudes won't be reminded.

♥

[marive75]

Julian " chubby cheeks " make him look eternal teenager.

[Myrreka]

God. I think I orgasm with every song I hear by them.

[jesuzizinmybedroom]

ahhh ROF era was the best

[MrBIRTHDAYWISHES]

I'm not a tattoo enthusiast, i have none, but i would consider one with the lyric

"I want to be forgotten and I don't want to reminded"

I think its the most thought provoking lyric i've ever heard.

[FoolOnParade]

@MrBIRTHDAYWISHES actually first time i heard this i instantly thought it was talking about a breakup "please dont make this harder"

[Wisconsin222]

@MrBIRTHDAYWISHES yeah I love Jules Lyrics.

[outoftheblueize]

@MrBIRTHDAYWISHES did you get it tattooed ?

[sublime187GATOR]

@MrBIRTHDAYWISHES plz tell me your a girl

[MrThepainters]

@MrBIRTHDAYWISHES that's cool but don't forget the"be" before reminded cause you might look stupid if you don't spell it the right way!!

[funkychicken5192]

AHHH I just saw then at Lollapoloza an hour ago. SOOO epic, I can't wait for their new CD

[sirdoughnut1]

this is by far my favorite strokes song, i have no idea why but its just so amazing, and so is julian and all the other members, luv them all equally

[kycurle295]

@sirdoughnut1 - I kno right? like seriously u can't just like one person u have to like them all ahaha

[nirvana20202020]

[deniz15]

@nirvana20202020

I was about to post that the bass was great!

[Waterlou25]

PLEASE come back!!!!!

[lucatoni309]

HURRICANE '10 

[onenonlyspeedy]

i dont mean to brag but i dont know if there is a bigger strokes fan than i. any challengers??

[popatire23]

@onenonlyspeedy

I don't know. I think anyone who listens to them should be automatically some degree of big fan.

[TheDarren345678]

@onenonlyspeedy i challenge you mofo

[SixShotMaryDown]

@onenonlyspeedy I'll challenge you, my god brother got me into them and we live in nyc, he saw them live before they were even famous lol

[onenonlyspeedy]

@SixShotMaryDown... lol... its a challenge, "ask me anything" my strokes brother, i know everything there is to know about them. ive never seen them live, only julian, but i will see them at ACL

[SixShotMaryDown]

@onenonlyspeedy lol you're just "Trying Your Luck" you can't possibly know more than me and when I finally beat you you'd be saying "I Can't Win!"..but seriously I can't come up with any questions

[clayrekieran]

i wish i could have been into them when this came out....but i was ten...i was listening to hillary duff then hahahhh but yeah this song is ahhhmazin arghhh julians sexyy

[rjonno]

@clayrekieran the fact that hillary duff was popular when you were 10 means you are too young for teh interwebs

[MsKldude]

they put their blood sweat and tears into this which is why it was simply fantasic !!!

i love the strokes and this is has got to one of their best songs !!!

[xxjools093xx]

is anyone else completely in love with the way julian sings? not only just the sexy cadence of his voice but the way he holds the goddamn microphone .. omg. ♥

[shorty1804]

@xxjools093xx yeah, i'm completely in love with it too....the feeling he puts into it, the way he grabs the microphone...all of it...amazing

[tinysolodancer56]

he most definitely said i wanna be insider her at the end.

brb melting all over the place

[boredomisnevergood]

this song has to be the best song by them. it's definitely the most played song in my music list. I can't get enough of listening to it! CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP!

I especially love repeating that sexy guitar solo at 0:53 from nick! PURE sex. X__X

[popfanrockon]

@boredomisnevergood Is that a "You Talk Way Too Much" reference??? I do that, too. Quote The Strokes song lyrics whenever it applies to the situation, I mean. This song is definitely GONNA be one of the most played song in my music list 'cause I just discovered this song. I intentionally am still discovering their songs 'cause I LOVE the feeling of discovering new Strokes music...

[MariahAndTheCity]

so.. julian is sexy. just saying..

[jaijosh]

this is one of my fav strokes songs

[rikusshadow56]

the ending is so freaking awesome

[chilarito]

of 1:34 at 1:50 the bass its so epic!

[TheIKillers]

omg nicks solo at 52 secs is an orgasm to my ear!!

[TheStrokesMan1251]

haha eww but awesum! :D

[shorty1804]

@TheIKillers you took the words out of my mouth. i love nick's solo so much!!! you know, it was julian's solo work that led me to the strokes recently, but now, every time i waatch anything with the strokes, i find my eyes darting back and forth b/w nick and jules......can't decided who i like more!!!

[johaaannaa]

the strokes will always be the sexiest band on earth.

[cristianlp84]

OMG this is effing awesome!!!!

[frenchkids]

Go ahead and say 'fuck.' No one will tell.

[jacklover14]

hes is pretty darn hott!

[iver0120]

Ok yeah he definitely changed the lyric and said inside her. It caught my ear. My god that's fucking hot.

[everydayidiealilmore]

yep... i like inside a lot better

[blueorchid38]

@iver0120 my god HE's fucking hot.

[En0ki]

0:53 his guitar sounds out of tune

[gabrielawithlasers]

0:56 wow!

[upchilled]

"i wanna be inside her - but she we be admired..." the basic difference between men/women wiring... love this version! best strokes song by far...

[davesmith7891]

Yes. Except it's "I wanna be BESIDE her". Apart from that one crucial detail, you make a good point.

[boredomisnevergood]

@davesmith7891

actually if you listen from 2:33 , Jules is definitely saying "I wanna be inside her, but she wanna be admired"

He just changed it for this performance. He does say inside her and but, just minor differences though. Makes it a lot better... and hotter. ;)

[davesmith7891]

And he doesn't say "but".

[davesmith7891]

And it's "she wanna"...oh fuck, I give up.

[Alixserendipity]

@upchilled The lyric is diffidently "Beside her", but that is a really good way to look at it...

[mcg62601]

yeah, great shit. can't wait for the new stuff.

[NeonTiger94]

Woooh this songs amazing!!

i really can't wait for their new album!!! i hope it's as good as their last.

[juxtachris89]

[kropkaa2]

[punkXDcutie]

[mihoka]

Does Julez sing at 2:33 'i wanna be INSIDE her' instead of BESIDE or is it just my imagination?

Sooo hot!

[witlesslamb]

i think you're right

[soccergodjake]

He does he just goes really low so it might not seem like that because he is yelling through the hole song

[bjorkata]

OMG, it's true! wish i was "her" xddd

[allllieyousuck]
