Yeasayer - "Ambling Alp" Secretly Canadian

[youngnungnung]

this song is like pudding, i like pudding

[insculldrew]

I wonder how many different takes they did of the guy hitting the snare on the mountain side.

[xxdJfReAk]

I love this song but i do not get this vedio at all

[percykittenz]

it's about a boxer from the 40s, "ambling alp"

[Kewlkiddieluv]

This video honestly STILL freaks me out.... I can't get over it...

[blazing64]

It's a floor tom

[hollowXwulff]

This is one of the best songs ever. I love it.

[theDynamicSkunk]

FUCKING LOVE THIS VIDEO

[Meatlock]

ahahaha I climaxed at 3:46

[HIPmountain]

Heard this at work for like a year, and I finally looked to see who it was...damn I'm lazy.

[SociallyImpaired101]

I'm here cause of Mark Pontius, and what?

[SociallyImpaired101]

I'm here cause of Mark Pontius, and what?

[KarmaSpaz12]

@rickyalevel the whole thing = win!

[buffyrown]

can't go wrong with a horse and a few muscles. 

[DirtyWubstep89]

i heard it from mutiny bikes- lost mystical

[CannibalisticWasabi]

You guys all smoked yourself retarded. The lyrics are pretty straightforward. He actually means what he is saying.

[PipSqueak808]

That looks like a really weird face massage..

[TheSweetmeat100]

why are there naked people in the middle of a desert???

[Calidaguitar]

2:51. Pause for background titties.

[bloomjoe08]

i listened to yeasayer before they were cool

[kinoholicism]

@bloomjoe08 Congratulations on nothing. Faggot

[TheCamillelizabeth]

I feel like this song and the children should be on the Hunger Games soundtrack.

[davoBAM]

The video is pretty straightforward if you listen to the lyrics.

[zionmonker]

listened 2 this song for 3 hours straight from houston tx 2 san antonio tx. and i still love it

[jerkxitxout]

Shit could be exploding during this music video and I still wouldn't care. This song is awesome. (And the video's legit so I don't see what all the fuss is about anyway)

[usedfuzzbox]

It's like a feverish dream of 80's pop video's and low budget Sci-Fi and Fantasy films...

Balls, who cares, it's freaking awesome, love this track!

[TheKitumar]

ANd here I was thinking i was the one tripping..

Que?

[andrabesque]

This has always been one of my favorite songs.

[roycesboy]

so many deep metaphors and references or mostly random shit

[michellemama1]

This band remninds me of the culture club,everytime I hear this song I end up playing I ll tumble for ya, it never fails.



[uhmilliwilli]

someone Link me to the kyle video

[Mr99centWTF]

the drum is the shitt

[dontcutyourhair]

I feel like getting naked and rolling down a mountain every time I watch this.

[dsf429]

Oh, I get it now. It's secretly Canadian. It makes so much more sense now.

[AdamPPrice]

The film "Meshes of the Afternoon" influenced this video

[FreedomfromSamsara]

Wow the image of human beings running naked through the wild really makes you realize where all just animals

[schuholzpat]

Holy Shit.

[Aiguey]

seriously guys... this video starts getting sense after 4:06

[thecupofjoy]

He mustve brokeout a lot after this video, that ladies hands could've been filthy!

[ACCatw]

where's the black people?

[AdamTheWize]

I need to get me one of those face massages.

[rickyalevel]

Snare guy = Win.

[bravastar13]

Crazy.... Good

[pwntzilla]

BOOBIES!!!!

[SpazzingPenguins]

wtf is that lady doing to his face???

[AlbinoRhino5000]

i cant even describe...

[TheTrueSadielo]

So I get to try acid in a few weeks and this is pumping me up for it.

And what the fuck with censorship? America is so subliminaly sexually-hyped, but we can't appreciate simple beautiful nudity?

[getfamous247]

@TheTrueSadielo im happy for you.. its a trip.. haha.. im about to take a couple hits at the pretty lights concert in 2 weeks.. anyways.. let it take you away.. its amazing.. and dont forget to watch chairlift - evident utensils video while youre floatin

[Lovecraftprodigy]

Thank Christ we found the silver fist.

[TheChannelOrange]

What song is this in? ie. commercial, preview, other famous video? It's killin me

[TimCleveland85]

@TheChannelOrange  Mutiny Bike "The Lost Mystical" uses this song.

[darrencrisslovesme]

I love this video, Its so rad.

[HaUiOhAuIo]

0:53 wtf

[Hipsterina]

Saw them live not too long ago. Great band both live and through my headphones.

[ericdeben]

Brett the intern sent me

[penis69melots]

it's about individualism you fools

[streetspirited]

i can make all my farts silent

[jamespacholli]

whats up with the mirror faced people? i keep on seeing them in heaps of videos and i dont know what its meant to mean:P

[baration]

World's Best Tricks Volume IV (2011) bring me here

[7a50n]

Video is deep...its about humans being created by advanced beings...not obvious to everyone else? Ok, I'll stop eating mescaline flakes for breakfast then.

[Mikeziish]

@7a50n NO...don't stop...

[7teen20nine]

@7a50n

No man I see exactly what you mean. Except it's moreso about the humans they created finding their own identity and purpose. And it takes place from the advanced beings perspective. The "you must stick up for yourself son" and pretty much 90% of the lyrics give it away.

[JetJockey87]

@7a50n

Don't stop!

How else will you be able to capture the wondrous Xinothorn at the Gates of Kurash?

[worldofdraculas]

@7a50n Mescaline? No, you can keep eating it. Just stop watching Zardoz.

[theJremedy]

@worldofdraculas lmao

[TheYellowTuxedo]

@7a50n Ill take em, can you get me the connect?

[Akatsuki2020]

@7a50n I never really liked mustard, but i always thought it had potential to achieve something great. Now, having advanced beings use it to create humans is alittle more than i thought it'd achieve but if Yeasayer says it is so, well then only Chuck Norris could question their thought process. Anyway, enjoy the song, i know i am lol.

[NextImagination]

@7a50n it looks like they're made outta mustard

[flimflabber777]

Makes sense to me.

[melissalisea]

Finally

[jedrzejku]

creative

[TheVampireweekend12]

amazing.

[JACKOJACKO121]

i think they just invented a new colour ????? what the fuck :L

[misslarissaivy]

my computer is messing up it only shows the times i've viewed this

[chickencoop215]

so this is what burning man is like...

[sharingon47447]

Song? fantastic. Video? WTF? 

[PureRandomDude]

i want a face massage like that!

[deb7ennis]

This song has almost given me guts to break up with my boyfriend.

Time to stick up for myself, son.

[GunPfluNew]

this is sweet

[TomUK85]

An interesting alternative to the Adam and Eve story... Drum banging man is my brother

[issoto]

I find this video difficult to masturbate to.

[PsychoCinemas]

I fucking love this song so much

[MrEGGSBACONTOAST1]

Is the colourful substance they put on his face the same as the moon goo in electric feel?

[platypae333]

@MrEGGSBACONTOAST1 I think so...

[akatobi2002]

the Beatles would be proud.

[thethingsidoforpie]

what the hell is up with the face touching

[ggddrr26]

I loooove 2:26 :3

[Jmaculata]

Forget the drum banger what about the face molester?

[x0x0xStephenx0x0x]

If I have to see that douche bag with the cleaning dandruff monkey i'm gonna punch my computer screen. =_=

[BareaBMX707]

@fitbikeco123abc your a funny guy arent you. good luck getting thumbs up faggot

[Fathergemini]

the drum banging man knows whats happening

[12055111]

What exactly was happening between 0:01 and 4:05?

[greengorillaz]

@12055111

It makes perfect sense! How can you not understand it? Well...I am on acid. That might have something to do with it.

[likeaglove123]

is tht wat being high like?

[simonk512]

@likeaglove123 hahahahahahaha! yes.

[PistolGFX]

@likeaglove123 HAHAHA.. maybe an acid trip.. being high is nothing close. its great but its not like that intense.

[tnhawk87]

26 people never fought the Ambling Alp

[FrostyUnicornRider95]

this video is trippy

[ilovejamesandmoney]

Hes too good lookin

[setandrise]

meshes of the afternoon!

[thelushleaf]

umm worlds best tricks IV brought me here... I've never heard of drum banging man?

[Dama130]

Trippy 83

[theseanster93]

@castingtherunes check out the videos for "ready, able" and "while you wait for the others" by grizzly bear, and "my girls" and "brother sport" by animal collective

[pokabeb]

Is this video about the Holocaust?

[castingtherunes]

Thank God for trippy music videos. I thought they didn't make them anymore.

[bmxfromusa]

what the hell did I just watch?

[excalibur554]

Just saw these guys in concert. They kicked so much ass.

[deeruner]

26 people sniff, their mothers tube socks

[Portalstheband]

yeasayer is really great. they make me want to boogie down.

[InformalNarwhal]

26 people are American

[WolfBanger7689]

@InformalNarwhal they are from fucking Brooklyn wtf are you talking about

[InformalNarwhal]

@WolfBanger7689 "Secretly Canadian", Excuse me for trying to be funny.

[TheNapoleonicPig]

Love this song!

[omegalipsis]

80's + Animal Collective

[deviant2e2]

@omegalipsis took the words out of my mouth

[corrincrellin]

What they do at 2:25 you can do pretty easily on Salvia.

[bmx3r101]

I would bang on his drums...

[raviq11]

O_o

[scarycomments]

sick song strange vid......but seen worse

[bmxfromusa]

mutiny bmx ftw!

[ImRatherTall]

I dont know what I like best about the filming, the lone horseman or the drum banging man!!!???

Ace video anyway!

[hakaseocyanomiz]

I heard they throw great gigs.

[cooberpedians]

the drum banging man is a hustla

[ROCKEMDEAD4LINDY]

so fresh but with 80s vibe to it! great!

[FunnyBudz]

... what the fuck just happened

[lovettmj29]

Is it just me or is this song just Making Plans for Nigel by XTC with different words?

[MatthewMulligan999]

@lovettmj29 The opening kind of reminds me of it but personally thats where the similarity ends for me

[MoMoEllouise]

I really love this song. I would have loved to have been in the room when they were planning this video though. "Let's have a ring of naked people around a pool of mustard with people coming out of it, Then a crazy drummer and random horse, then switch to the lead singer having his face smooshed. Then hooded boxers and creepy floating faces. And the naked people should really fall down a hill at some point. And Oh! A shiny metal fist to round it all off!"

[xthaxheistx]

YOU MUST GIVE FASCISTS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMancSam]

the guy banging the drum is just epic

[furfeyl]

youtube should at least do like hulu and ask if this ad is interesting to us so that they wont keep showing us an ad we obviously dont want to see, i dont mind ads its just the stupid ones that piss me off like Toyota and Progressive

[Ch1naManChan]

@furfeyl download google chrome, then download the adblock extension problem solved!

[furfeyl]

@Ch1naManChan i use chrome already... what is this adblock you speak of?!

[Ch1naManChan]

@furfeyl Google: "Google extensions" go there and look up "adblock" it should b one of the first ones :-)

[furfeyl]

@Ch1naManChan oh my god, Chrome is already my favorite browser by far but this level of customizability is amazing, the thing to open programs in internet explorer inside of the chrome browser will be incredibly helpful as well as the ad blocker

[Ch1naManChan]

@furfeyl If you have an android smart phone chrome to phone is a must have extension and app. It allows you to send links from your chrome browser to your smart phone!

[CoPezz]

black power?



[luilainez]

this video gave Chuck Norris cancer

[bitetyson]

WE'RE GOING STREAKING!!

[bmxfromusa]

the lost mystical ftw

[bobricuas]

[KarmaSpaz12]

I love this vid! I wonder where the band got their inspiration for it from? :D

[ferrhis1]

FANDO Y LIS. with the squishing, bubbling noise, the mountains, the naked mud people. hell yeah, they watched that shit. good movie for a saturday trip

[tastywavescoolbuzz]

Nazgul!

[rocknrollallnight218]

25 people got so freaked and amazed that they had a spasm and hit the wrong button

[jajamon214]

thats some face massage he is getting

[cdiSPAGHETTI]

Rule of thumb for bands like this - the less sense the music video makes, the better the song is.

[thepopismelting]

Running around naked with other naked people would be so fun

[misternoobguitarist]

I wanna find this drum banging man and give him a medal

he will soon have more likes then the song

[astraybullet6]

I would chill with the drum man all day on that mountain

[mikolgastin24]

drum banging man is legit as shit...

[moabShirts]

All hail the drum banging man.

[MisterMapsClaps]

When did Jodorowsky start directing music videos?

[smoothmove]

In 2009, the band Yeasayer came out with a song titled "Ambling Alp" which imagines what advice Joe Louis's father might have given him prior to becoming a prizefighter. The song references adversities and opponents, including Max Schmeling and Primo Carnera, Louis had to overcome in his career.

[BarrelRacing19]

best.song.ever.!! enough said

[Chiefyweefy69]

Stretchy faces brought to you by The Abyss.

[Msbrightside33]

this video... just woah.

[kinhotas]

i love them, they are so psicadelic

[cheesecakeisbad]

song, yes. video... no...

[jlboyer0]

kneel at the altar of faceless competition, if you don't want to be a great artist like one of these guys

[deathvalleycocaine]

I want to chill with the drum banging man.

[TheHodge21]

@deathvalleycocaine drum banging man has a mean case of the limp dick. why do you think hes banging the drum in the first place?

[pwnrofldairyqueenbbq]

I stayed for drum banging man... I left completely creep'd out.

[TheOnlineCommunity]

The part where the face detached and extended like that was just cool.

[gungrave515]

they remind me of a empire of the suns klaxons mix

[robertplantisgod1234]

Kanye West definitely copied this video. In his monster video he has a bunch of girls grabbing his face and stuff. He really is a monster.
