Franz Ferdinand - The Dark Of The Matinée

[AnarchyBs52]

Yeah, my academy school went something like this o.O

[pacatrue]

The cool thing about their songs as they start off good and almost always get better as they go.

[LelouchXxX1]

T_____T cuantos recuerdos

[Omar13Z]

Every time I watch The Big Bang Theory I think of Franz Ferdinand! These guys should've been the main cast haha just kidding.

[sonofabicho]

[boomboxSugar]

I jumped like a crazy bitch during this song at their concert <3

[Coteer]

0:50 wtf is that thing that's pelvic thrusting?

[GaaraSands16]

@Coteer Um... that's the inside of your ear.

[Coteer]

@GaaraSands16 I don't recall having a tiny robot thing humping my ear drum.

[genowhirl]

THE CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NO MUSICS.

[eugestrella]

what an awesome video!!!! alex is gorgeous!

[AngieEnz84]

I'd happily follow Alex Kapranos anywhere.

It's a toss up between this song and "Michael" as to which is my favorite one from their first album. This is one ridiculously catchy song. 

[navaldestruction1]

10 people were stuck in the Dark of the Matinée

[elBOBAnme]

Reminds me when i was in highschool in 2004 ....Glory Times!!

[hiphoprebellion]

Where the fuck are these guys?

[ChocoPieism]

Why do I keep thinking a Matinee is a sea creature?

[ferdinand12390]

@ChocoPieism lol thats the manatee

[GeraTDI]

Alex es un angel ♥ :B

[UnitedSovietParty]

10 people hate school...

[my4thone]

[REXman717]

@LowXO98 its been stuck in my head for 2 weeks...

[qwertyqeys]

I keep imagining the N and the T in Matinee to be switched.

[Smurfinator123ify]

Im supposed to be doing an essay for math...but im here...on youtube. durn franz ferdinand:)

[hornick18]

Been uploaded for 2 years and still under one million? Damn. That doesn't make this "hipster music"? lol hope not I don't want to be a hipster douche.

[jsn140]

@hornick18 sometimes views go away when it becomes a vevo video. it probably had a ton of views before that.

[mrsvanian999]

why are the comments about the dumb ads and not the brilliant music? seriously, i have not heard a ff song that is not so crazy genius that it blows my mind.

[getaway98]

Sorry about my ignorance but i want to know who is the person that is behind of the band at 2:46

[wolfpug200]

@getaway98 Terry Wogan is a news/radio broad caster

[darkmaster777aaa]

My add was about christina aguilera. she is not even hot anymore

[darkmaster777aaa]

why would i wanna be a mormon. WTF

[waynerlee]

This band brings me back to the earlier days of music video when the music came before the production. It's really refreshing to see. I'm reminded of bands like the The Devos, The Pretenders, The Talking Heads, Wall of Voodoo, and so on. The music is GREAT!!!!

[doubletaproductions]

This gonna be a top comment

[Cumberbitch]

Wicked brilliant. One of the most orginal vids I've seen!

[ChildOfDarkness12]

[Msdrummer456]

Find Me and Follow me que tiempos aquellos

[joshod87]

Always thought the title meant dark of the manatee, like the animal... i feel stupid now :P

[deadpool759]

Time every journey to bump into you, accidentally

I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate

All the girls I hate

All the words I hate

All the clothes I hate

How I'll never be anything I hate

You smile, mention something that you like

Oh how you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like

[mcaines75]

@deadpool759 what a great job u did coppying the lyrics congrats



[deadpool759]

[Xssam11]

IMMA LET U FINISH

[lemurwolf]

I swear Alex's eyebrows have a mind of their own.

[Xssam11]

@lemurwolf

rofl

[manaburn]

I don't know why, but the recorded versions of this song and "Michael" all sound horrible, but the music video versions are great.

[balletchic2580]

does anyone else agree that Fran Ferdinand has AWESOME videos?

[cartmansr5]

great music,great video...... AND DAMN those school girls look cute

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

Damn i wish i was in that classroom with them. Would have been soooo freaking awesome :D

[latinodude85]

Underrated band...

[MrBlackFabio]

This is the best song on their self titled album. Like the video.

[ridethewindx]

what i'd give to have been in this music video

[ridethewindx]

WHY CAN'T I BE THIS COOL TEACH ME YOUR WAYS D:

[TheStotter1]

Alex is amazing, i don't know if it's him or his band too writing the songs and having such crazy ideas for the videos, they have excellent lyrics and the videos are so cool

[Cod4Paradox]

Why are there ads trying to convert me to Mormon?

[dark3rbol]

@Cod4Paradox I don't know, you probably already know how magnets work...

[ninjutsumaster7467]

@Cod4Paradox LOL They're slowly taking over

[joslinnick]

@Cod4Paradox Try AdBlock, and the Mormons as well as their pathetic prosthelytizing will disappear almost as quickly as the magical golden plates.

[stubbsthezombie100]

@joslinnick Thats mean but i agree with it completely

[MyMusicIsEpic]

@Cod4Paradox Because mormons are nice :D...?

[ChildOfDarkness12]

@Cod4Paradox whoa... my ads just want me to drink beer.

[vampiro101]

@Cod4Paradox why do u feel their trying to turn u into mormon?

[Coteer]

@Cod4Paradox Why is Google ads telling me to become a Scientologist?

[Cod4Paradox]

@Coteer I get the exact same things :)

[churroman333]

the guitar riff on 3:07 is sick!!! :D his face even looks like hes thinking "oooh yeahhh"

[will260100]

i love how one of the tags is epic at least vevo knows that

[will260100]

i cracked up at 2:05

[greendayusa11]

that is like my favorite movie bro

[will260100]

best robot dancing ever 

[ofek3]

they always have sick videos!

[deathbypoisonz]

i'll slide my nail under the top and bottom buttons of his blazer ;)

[wuzzleswuzflaffles]

I think I came alittle bit when I heard this song

[defenstrate1]

Dear Vevo,  Let me start by sayin get your corporate asses off youtube! Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their friggin videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement evry time we include a song we want.

This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you wed go to your damn website.

To people who want greedy corporates gone thumbs up and copy and paste this on Vevo shit

[PGEngineering]

I still keep thinking, "I didn't realize manatee's were that dark!?" whenever I see the song title.....

[churroman333]

MAN!!! why arent OUR schools this fun?? Dx

[wuzzleswuzflaffles]

@imsomad1000 ahahhaahh- NOT FUNNY

[M1ch43lW00d]

I wish I could get away with singing in class like that.

[TheCmworld]

Alex looks insanely like one of my friends! But he is sort of weird. My friend that is.

[miguel4840]

lol omfg the dance is so *PIMP* dont thumbs up

[LtVerwolf]

I honestly don't care about new puffs ultra strong

get to the vid already!!

[troubadorra]

@ramenguy1 Not true! I can go weeks without even hearing her music in the company of my friends. We listen to McKennit, Juno Reactor, Rhapsody of Fire... but never Gaga!

[John21172117]

@ramenguy1 Yeah I know what you mean. Same here. You should find friends that share similar music taste or just make them get used to your music and maybe later they'll like it.

[LtVerwolf]

356 people will follow the fire to get out of The Dark Of The Matinée

5 people will not get out of The Dark Of The Matinée. Instead, they will sit and drool at a photo of Justin Bieber

[Homer22234555]

@ramenguy1 that's why we have BBCA British Broadcasting Corporation America

[AlfredoDepths]

is bob playing the guitar or bass at the begining?

[ZowieFillups]

@AlfredoDepths pretty sure it's a guitar.

[Roxxi33]

Franz Ferdinand's music videos are almost better than the music. HOW?

[Hieisshadowprincess]

@Roxxi33 No, the music is better... The videos are fucking awesome though I have to agree. And I wonder how many of those girls had sex with them because they probably did.... Because they are fucking AWESOME!!!

[mydogbaron]

@Roxxi33 its because theyre gods

[Theajjacinto1990]

because music + video = music video... therefore music video > music.

[dartvader158]

@Roxxi33 ITS SIMPLE,CAUSE THE MUSIC REALLY SUCKS...

[stubbsthezombie100]

@dartvader158 I Hope Your Just Being Sarcastic.

[KillForAttention]

I freaking LOVE the choreography in this. It's beautimous. 

[Silverfan24]

Where can I find those steps that they use when they play the song? o:

[NatalieShady]

3:42

I think my brain would explode from the awesomeness of such a spectacle.

[randomguy199545]

[kurt23407]

[lpclassic60]

Oh, how I wish my biology class was like this...

[xXtommymusicmanXx]

[MsZelazny]

Just when I think I can't love them more, their videos are just as fabulous as their music.
