Modest Mouse - King Rat

[Coolestnordalive]

This song inspired me to play banjo.

[yourtuber111]

the video reminded me of animal farm. animals acting like humans. holy shit this world is fucked up...

[XIXGENOME]

The second part of BUKOWSKI DUHHH BITCHES! Or the other way around lol

[Legion7991]

Oh wow, just read the comments and realised how late I am. Ignore my previous stupidity!

[Legion7991]

Anyone else notice in the very beginning at 0:07 you can hear Isaac laugh and say "I love this shit"?

[Guercinator]

@Legion7991 I knew he said something with "shit" at the end of the sentence but I didn't know what he said before. Thanks :)

[iNTERS22]

When their new album is gonna come out??? :((

[RyRyskates]

Sk8rat!

[Masterblaster9258]

The only modest mouse song that I like.

[Guercinator]

@Masterblaster9258 Really? You don't like any other song?

[homespunB]

@Guercinator He probably meant, the only Modest Mouse song that he really listened to.

[captaincoco1]

@Masterblaster9258 Same here haha

[Illumiplasty]

[ultimatehunter101]

"I love this shit."

[Guercinator]

[MyChemicalBromance]

Modest Mouse wrote a song called King Rat and filled the video with anthropomorphic whales. wut.

[punk2564]

amazing song

[mymindisasafe33]

Hmm don't let him take the credit. I definitely was the first to dislike it. </3

[Dawgtha]

We choked on *straight* tap water well I'm gonna have to try the real thing.

[Guercinator]

@Dawgtha Yeah sorry I just get these lyrics off of a website but It is usually a pretty good website.

[blavinay1]

had to dislike it no one else did and im not a conformist lol

[Guercinator]

@blavinay1 why man? WHY?!?!? lol I'm just kidding. But do you really not like this song?

[blavinay1]

@Guercinator o i deff do i just decided to dislike it hahaha

[danielryan27]

@blavinay1 your an idiot then

[blavinay1]

@danielryan27 and you arent very nice

[ELSIK2]

@blavinay1 I had to thumb down your comment cause I'm an asshole

[blavinay1]

@ELSIK2 lol and im ok with that

[CurtisIJM]

@blavinay1 You do not conform to other people, that's good. Doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing for the sake of non-conformity, that's bad. You're just changing one way of letting others control you for another. You should feel free to like or dislike whatever you want, instead of feeling like you need to conform to non-conformity

[xtonytonytonyx]

@blavinay1 that's not what conforming is... conforming is doing what everyone else is because of some outside influence... if you like the song, and you dislike it because everyone else liked it, THAT'S conforming... stupid

[CoN0R115]

@DreamStepper If the video disturbed you that's actually a good thing. It disturbed me a lot too. It means it had an impact on you which is what Heath Ledger wanted it to do. "King Rat" isn't just some song you can throw onto your iPod and play carelessly. The lyrics alone make you think, and the video even more so, which I thought was excellent. A credit to Heath. It made me feel guilty/powerless/sick of humanity.

[TeahupooChan]

@CoN0R115 I couldn't understand all of them when listening so I looked up the lyrics. Your right, it makes me sick of humanity.

[saedt]

@CoN0R115 question, i didn't watch the video yet, but what does heath ledger have to do with it?

[CoN0R115]

@saedt He directed it.

[DreamStepper]

@CoN0R115 after studying the lyrics I think, being sick of humanity might be an exaggeration.

[Oriente7]

@CoN0R115 they made the song after the video was made which pretty cool

[SenisterDenister]

@CoN0R115 Made me hate whales. Was almost tempted to go buy a harpoon and find myself a white whale to smite.

[Noa4h]

@SenisterDenister

You should listen to "Blood and Thunder" by Mastadon.

[SenisterDenister]

@Noa4h Its already a favorite.

[wowcrackie22]

This is the only way I can avoid Vevo and their damn commercials. Screw them so much...

[saedt]

@wowcrackie22 and the best way :)

[DreamStepper]

I don't want to look at the video cuz it left me a bit disturbed

[jocarbu]

"lucky lucky lucky lucky me again"
