@convicted it really doesn't. In interviews Matt has said that they got the name cage the elephant because a crazy man ran up to them and started rambling on about how they had to cage an elephant. so no its not about an elephant named cage its about a crazy man's crazy talk
@frogboss13 They also have said it came up in a conversation about life, and a box of cereal had a connect-the-dots on the back that made you draw a cage around an elephant, an that one of them was eating alphabet soup, and Cage the Elephant spelled out in the bottom of the bowl, and one of them had a dream about it. They come up with a new name origin every interview
@convictded Similar to the whole band names topic, The Black Keys got their name from a schizophrenic who said they were like the black keys of a piano, the sharps and flats. It was his way of saying they were slightly different in an almost wrong sort of way and if you ask me he was kind of accurate. Funny thing is, he'd use it in all sorts of different contexts. Like, " Go get me a two liter of mountain Dew and a pack of smokes or you're the Black Keys." I think Pat Karney said that exactly.

Not a lot of play but this is music that other musicians,bands,groups listen to and wish it was their "baby" these guys got good taste and class act and this is kind of song that will grow eponentially on people over time
To anyone reading this comment, Shake Me Down is a nomination for best Rock Video for the MTV Video Music Awards, please vote for these guys on MTV's website. These guys put their heart and soul into their music and deserve the award. So please make this message visible or at least spread the word. Let's make Cage the Elephant the next big band. Thanks :D
the yelling in the back is very pink floyd-the wall'ish which i love. and then u got the backwards guitar fill in thats very john frusciante'ish. these guys know what to do with their knowledge of music :D its like they put all the perfect sounds together and re-created them
@jkkdf44 Hmm, I personally found these guys to remind me of Modest Mouse quite a bit. Their instruments and vocals have a certain...chaotic melody at times.
I was on their tour bus when they came to Aberdeen Scotland and I went with a friend to buy them something from a man. It wasn't weed, it was er....coffee. Honest :)
Saw them in SC, amazing truly breath taking. I got a shirt signed by Matt also! He has such a wild stage performance and makes the way you hear their music so much better. CTE<3
i swa them on pinkpop best fucking performance ever seen. they where so full of energy and they transferred that energy derectly to the crow. i was on the front to the point i could almost touch him
@ultramegaAOK Back Against the Wall, Tiny Little Robots, Lotus (best song on their first album), James Brown, Judas, Around My Head, Aberdeen, Shake me Down... all of their songs are amazing.
Hell, Ain't No Rest for the Wicked is probably their worst. (It's incredible live, not so much on album)
I accidentally clicked something while watching which switched the page and stopped the song. At first I was angry then I was happy 'cause it meant I had to re-start the song :D
i <3 cage the elephant and modest mouse Lyrics: looking out my window wpnder how it came to be its just like a tempo lifted by a gentle brenze ugly as a suitcase i see see its stress for days hanging on a sunset sofly traveled by the rain way to lond hold on hold on dead and gone so long hold on way to long hold on hold on dead and gone so lond hold on so lond hold on|i have to stop there cant type no more
@PunkiPandaGirl i love cage the elephant,and its funny because they live in the same state i do (kentucky) and the drummers name is jared,the same as mine xD
Had a chance to meet the lead singer Matt after their show in Asheville, such a cool guy. They sang this song at the show, and it was the one moment he was stationary the whole time except when he collapsed in exhaustion at the end of the concert. Such a sick show.
@fatigian well, if they were named cage, it would be. cage, the elephant. but since there is no "," i guess they are telling us to cage the elephant. hope this helped xD
