The Strokes - Hawaii aloha

[marianelidaa]

0:06 he made his rockstar-at-stage voice haha i don't think the crowd understood it was a joke, he gives up after his own laugh.

[kaiyalovesmusic]

So talented!!;))

[clubambiental]

Holly CRAP! THEY ARE AMAZING!

[jimmysyndrome]

The verse is a shameless rip-off of Tally Ho by The Clean, one of the great Flying Nun bands of the 1980s. The only original thing about this song is how they've somehow made it sound bland and heartless.

[dentgavin]

@jimmysyndrome your right about the rip off. However on a better note. I have just discovered 'The Clean' what a band! Happy Christmas.

[guiesseppe]

@jimmysyndrome maybe thats why its a B-side and not their album leading single... duh... sometimes when you write a song it sounds like one of your favourite bands, does that mean the song should be ditched? no, its a B-side

[annieluvs1251]

@jimmysyndrome really? "bland and heartless"? The Strokes could never be bland..blandness would bounce right off of them! this is a fun little song..I wish it WASN'T a B-side

[Thiagowaters]

its kind of weird that he remember the entire lyrics XD

[mar25878]

JULIAN IS SOOO FREAKING HOT!

[raddestgirlEVARR]

"Welcome, welcome to Storytellers"

OH GOD, I feel like he's gonna be like, "take my hand" and we'll transport to Narnia. I LOVE EHTTTT.

& Don't be ashamed of your b-sides, Julian! The Strokes b-sides are freaking AWESOME. Man, THIS was when MTV used to show real music. "Whatever happened"? I wish they'd play this Storytellers on TV, "tell us your story, I know you're not boring".

[GetYourSelfAbeer]

0:19 See how the camera couldn't handle his stare?...It actually had to turn away man, what the fuck

[intisol15]

Im just kidding n.n 

[intisol15]

Sirius Black ? 

[sasisandy]

[joyceepotz]

[gigi31898]

[TheREBECCAZ]

[LNBlack29]

They should still play this song live :/

[sikiwi1]

listen to - The Clean - kiwi band in the 80's - credit where credit is due

[sikiwi1]

listen to the clean - kiwi band in the 80's

[TanJarin303]

that crowd was an embarrassment.

[TanJarin303]

Oh God. His voice. Oh My Holy God. what? HOW?

How can anything be that perfect?

ANSWER ME DAMMIT! D:

[92whatsername]

sounds like he's about to cry while saying"it's a B-side.it's just....just a B-side"

Beautiful,still

[MrChingoro]

it's too bad this song isn't in any record...

[roadranga]

just wondering, has julian's live singing quality deteriorated over every album?

The old live performances sounded almost studio-recorded.

Now, he just misses notes and sounds out of tune

[itsbrennabitch18]

@roadranga Shut your face. Hes amazing.

[Kankles2013]

@roadranga I know! It's kinda discouraging to want to go to a concert, given I just discovered them about a year ago. The are my favorite band, but listening to Julian's live singing lately it's almost frustrating.

[jackmezzz]

julian estas k ardes

[celinioidd]

Hawaii Ha Aw Wa I E!! Hawaii Ha Aw Wa I E!! deer lawd kill me now. hnnngggh

[sunsun410]

i love julian. he's got that real deep voice we all love, and that saweet super high singing voice that only sounds good on very few guys... hmmmm :) your one of a kind, jules, literally

[itsbrennabitch18]

@rubyhaleybenjamin Me too haha I hes so cute & funny lol

[NathanLM]

i'm telling you...doesnt blink once ;)

[Don061093]

@NathanLM sooo true, your a genius

[TheSonorama21]

Nice intro by Julian

[VonnegutFrusciante]

A nuclear DANANA might be on our way. Julian for president.

[AbbyMarie87]

His doe eyes ... are so hard to resist.

[MaryKateSalva]

It sounds like I wish it was Christmas today by Julian casablancas

[RVBROCKS1]

@MaryKateSalva totally does!

[kratostherebel]

E hau'oli na 'opio o Hawai'i nei 'Oli e! 'Oli e! Mai na aheahe makani e pa mai nei Mau ke aloha, no Hawai'i

[NinjaLB8]

Seriously why isn't this on iTunes it's a catchy cool song

[NathanLM]

Nick Valenci....the best pirate guitarist on the planet 1:11

[joaco011]

[ABL138]

Whether you're drunk or stoned

[quietriot99]

should have made the album

[iloverocknroll47]

besides the fact that this is an amazing song that makes me wanna go to the beach or something lol, i love that julian actually looks directly into the camera. :)

[BehaveGeorgiebehave]

i feel like a lot of the strokes songs are way way better live ... it adds up a garage rock element..i dont know...i really like this song. i dont think is average!

[marokokisetter]

surprised i never found this strokes song.. must say after a few listens.. its one of their pretty average offerings. definitely b-side material man

[LAKEN531ILY]

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this man i wish they ould still play them on mtv like the old days i miss that MAN!!!

[NinjaLB8]

@LAKEN531ILY I Know right back when MTV was cool

[MrShelb1234]

I feel like he is looking at me in the beginning O_o <3

[popsiclesuckers]

my ovaries melted when julian talked in the beginning. oh man, i'm such a fangirl...

[alans056]

@popsiclesuckers ew

[triggerzeal]

i want julian. now.

[Strokeofluck12]

It makes me sooooo haaapyyyyyy

[TheFunnybunny1230]

[DEFE1994]

[vanessavanity12]

This song makes me feel excited and happy.Makes me want to go out and have fun.

[911nubs]

Is this song on any of there albums and if it is what one?

[elborimex]

@911nubs this song was released as a b-side of juicebox

[DEFE1994]

@elborimex I love this song cant believe they would make it a B-side

[EnokiSkai]

@DEFE1994 it wouldn't have fit on their album

[alelicheval]

ME EXCITAN MUCHO

[p4cm4n182]

does anyone know what show this is on MTV? because he says "welcome to story tellers"

[samtastic333]

@p4cm4n182  It's probably "Story Tellers" ...

[p4cm4n182]

@samtastic333 they never play on Story tellers, I tried looking for this episode on their site and it does not exist :/

[LeCheapSunglasses]

@p4cm4n182 They did play on Story Tellers, I watched it on t.v. when it aired; I haven't been able to find it online tho.

[lyngbyy]

Haha, this song reminds me of Julian's christmas single "I wish it was christmas today" :)

[singmeasong121]

I love how intense his eyes are at 0:24

[The15661566]

amo esta rola y chinguen su madre los gringos.... bueno nu los estrokes...!!

[DEFE1994]

@The15661566 Jajajaj Vivan Los Estrokes!!!!!!

[themiggzone]

[mckidees]

Julian is so cute in the beginning I cant help myself

[bedouin9541]

[bedouin9541]

@singmeasong121 i know, im so excited!!! are they gonna post the song on their website?

[singmeasong121]

@bedouin9541 I'm not sure how that works. This will be my first Strokes album that I will materialistically purchase, sad to say :( I don't think so, just look out for it on iTunes! <3

[bedouin9541]

@singmeasong121 kay, thank you :D and i hope you enjoy angles as much as i will :P

[singmeasong121]

@bedouin9541 I'm so excited! You too :)

[yourayseven]

Anybody have any word on the new album!?!

[nahhvan]

The Strokes can kick Chuck Norris' ass... blindfolded.

[fockingclassy]

@nahhvan

I agree. Chuck Norris is just a bible thumping doucher anyways

[carlosxoro]

correction

confort on your block ! :D

[JSWhite92]

I think this is my favorite Strokes song.

[cleomoni]

ah oh iiih ouaa ah aaaaahhh

[pullywullypirate]

love the way he says hawaii lol........ HAWA, II

[KamikaziPanda17]

This should have been on First Impressions of Earth...its better than some of the other songs on the album

[carlosxoro]

@KamikaziPanda17 Juicebox, razorblade, red light,

are you crazy ! xD

Everything with the strokes is better :D

[KamikaziPanda17]

@carlosxoro Anything by the Strokes is my Favorite song, but i would rather have This song on First Impressions of earth rather than Ize of the World (great song though)

[extremelyboredpeople]

@KamikaziPanda17 Hey don't replace my jam! Ize of the World is my favorite! maybe you could replace 15 min....

[KamikaziPanda17]

@extremelyboredpeople Agreed...but hey, its the strokes, everything is good.

[Midgar2310]

Airforce jets cannot take away my soul :-)

[IndieRockOwns]

Songs like Hawaii played by bands like The Strokes make me unable to understand why people would do drugs. I mean, this kind of video makes me happy for hours, I don't need anything else. :-)

[bavone7]

@IndieRockOwns cannabis just makes it that little bit better.

[holdencoulfield]

the strokes kills you first and than makes you turn alive

[lippskiid]

0:25 "this ones for all the sexy bitches out there" haha

[kmylo4]

@lippskiid what you mean??

[mocnicor]

such a good song.

[figureheadCT]

why isnt this on a cd!?!

[fatheadblack]

@figureheadCT this was a B-side to Juicebox - I bought that single knowing this was on there. Much better than the A-side!!!!

[TheIRiShCaSaNoVa]
