Phoenix - Funky Squaredance (Best Quality)

[obineone]

THE SOLO!!!!

[NenaSwitch]

gr8 song and of course lil and outstanding *coppola* as well

[Ecrivon]

That was awesome.

[cowboytonydee]

This is badass, but maybe too avant-guarde.

[TheLoulette9999]

4 : 58 .... Oh my gosh :D

[campbelllg]

No astronautagogo...you are not alone. I have always loved this song but just saw the video. Wow. WOW! Saw them in Central Park last year. Funky Squaredance live was mindblowing!

[steevenroboto]

thanks to Roman Coppola for creating one of the best music videos ever.

[TVS86]

such a funky, happy sounding song, yet such utterly depressing lyrics.

[astronautagogo]

Am i the only one in the world that wishes Phoenix would have gone in this direction? Am I the only one in the world in which "Funky Squaredance" is my favorite Phoenix song??

[artisticagi]

hes born in paris but his name is roman.

[speedmetal99]

I never, EVER say this, honest. I'm a good youtube user but, who disliked this video?

[NenaSwitch]

fängt voll lahm an die numma.... aber dann wirds real funky, kewl und roman coppolas video is extremstens orignell...... luv it....

[Cylam]

yeah every video needs a chick in it lol

[amazonaaaa]

crazy-marvelous!

[KristyB5]

Completely random. Completely wonderful. A+!

[superluigi92]

[hellfiresocial]

ha

[NenaSwitch]

gr8 vid, mega song luv it.......

[Sakura790]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"BUY PHOENIX RECORDS" "Let's end with something big... THE COSMOS"XD

One of the coolest videos I've ever seen

[contac0]

Hahaha I love the blinking part, its awesome!

[spacegirrrl]

It made me laugh real hard in a good sense, I mean let's end on something big. . . The cosmos ! haha I loooooved the ending, At first I didn't realize that was actually actually the video, but then you get into the story no matter what he's telling you about then the random thing about being hypnotized. . . and i loved the commercial concept . . . really loved it, the photograph was quite nice. Anyway <3 going into my favs

[M3GAMOS3S]

One of the best YouTube videos I have ever seen. Absolutely spectacular; a very unexpected, yet pleasant surprise.

[dinster70]

This is hilarious. That's Flea's wife Frankie Rayder! I think the video is perfect, very random, just like the song, which also seems hodge-podge and stream-of-consciousness. Country, disco, rap, and a wailing guitar in one single song? Love a band that plays by its own rules, hipsters be damned.

[goldenj27]

id like to know more about his dream car...anyone can tell? model? maker?

[adeptacheese]

tumblr - the video

[bigpimpdaddy69]

well....that was interesting. whattya expect when you get a coppola to direct. i also lol'd at 8:45 when the rocket ship blasted off. i totally forgot about it

[purplepantsandshirt]

"It's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know." he said, peeling the potato and popping the slick tuber promptly into the juicing machine.

[donsofa]

"BUY PHOENIX RECORDS"...  Epic!

Saludos!

[mechanism211]

I fucking LOVE this video!!!!!!!!!! I cant use enough !s to emphasize this enough!!!!!!11

[paulorena]

Pense em um videoclipe aleatório...

[titisuisse1052]

6:36 best part

[qruxx]

2nd favorite song, under Everything is Everything...

[RandomXRockXFan]

I loved the blinking part!!!xD

[TheLoulette9999]

beautiful video

thank you !

longue vie à phoenix ! !

[aavindraa]

that was a refreshing video. little strange, but that's always good once in a while.

[MateiMocanu]

wtf is this bullshit

[Rawrr71]

the best music video ever

so original and fits perfectly with the song

you are quite literally a bunch of genius'

[fionaspencer8]

Huh. This does have a little bit of a Jackson Browne vibe... And I gotta say that the lyrics to this song are ridiculously morbid!

[cbunn77]

Weird funny random and I like it.

[Ohnani]

Wow, that rippin' solo was the last thing I would've expected from Phoenix. Awesome.

[donsofa]

5:47... ufff, It bursts!!! Love it! And the end is great too.

Saludos!

[MrChipaka]

This video probably would be better without texts ... Btw I think all this slidings are ugly ... But its a good vid anyway.

I wonder if someone know what are the chords played at 5:20 ? (i Love them =)

[JJ4186]

I thought this video was cool! It's very different...and therefore neat.

[robscotjar]

That girl is gawna kill him!

[AmarokkMusic]

The most INVENTIVE music video I ever seen, a magic melting-pot for the video, and very great soundtrack! :D

[madragpuntutter]

the retarded coppola

[primateboogaloo]

Let me tell you a little bit about this video. It was created in 2001 by Roman Coppola and is single handedly the most disappointing video, to accomply a piece of music that deserves better, ever.

[thechokey]

@primateboogaloo thank you very much

but alot of people seem to like it because its rediculously "indie"

ITS JUST BORING

[GertrudisBaum]

"take me where I long to be"... just like him, I love the part. All the song... and all the video as wall. Thanks for posting!

[aprilbloom1]

AHAHA THE COSMOS.

[nishkra]

that was the best video ever. thanks for posting!

[blednar]

I wonder how Joseph Beuys' Fettstuhl is a conscious act.

[bloc22]

wow thomas mars was in the movie!?!?!? thats awesome!!!!

[rolfh]

On the other hand Roman takes the work of great musicians and makes it all about himself. The amazing music of Phoenix becomes a backdrop for R. Coppola's personal stream of consciousness, all the while propagating his family and even his girlfriend! Is this art? As Walt Kelly might have said said: is a barnicle a ship? (I still like it.)

[krajna1]

Two powerful creative forces come together for a great video: Phoenix and the Family Coppola

[sweetgeri3]

I think that roman's a genius, i loved 7:23

[rolfh]

Stop making sense. Who's that at 5:29, Sophia? Those church bells!

[nanocassiel]

Great video, very kitch, very original :)

[fourhorseman]

people who say that this isn't art, well probably don't know anything. I think they were just disappointed that they didn't see the band playing or whatever, You know, things that have been done to music videos a billion times before.

[CoN0R115]

@fourhorseman you're the type of idiot who loves to talk bullshit about art. you don't have a clue, you just follow the trends and repeat the opinions of other idiots, you obviously have no decent taste at all. look at this video, its a guy talking about nothing, and then he shows us a video of his girlfriend dancing in scant clothing. I'd don't think that's art ............. douchebag.

[fourhorseman]

@CoN0R115 grow up.

[Gazs93]

@CoN0R115 The New York Musuem of Modern Art certainly thought it was. It's a post-modernist treat, very inventive.

[Runey00]

This is crazy cool, how long did it take you to complete this video?

[flyingninjaodeath]

is it just me or is frankie really hot... o.o

[FastCamelProductions]

ohmygosh that has got to be the BEST MOST RANDOM OUT OF CONTROL INSANE IN THE CRANIUM VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN IN ALL MY YEARS. lets watch again!!!!

[Leperchan15]

Wow....that was....entertaining. the blinking part was the best haha.

[LemonCase57]

i really like this video..loved the blinking beats part, and also when roman was in the space suit.. lol

[knutella]

the dancing chicken was great, also the scooter at the end - whoooooooo!

[Rdaigl9]

Is that the funky square dance robot on 1989 lead guitar? How can he play with hands of metal?

[pocalujmniewdupe]

THE COSMOS

[Katy0Kayla]

wierd. i dont get it

[balaclava23]

dont like it.

i guess the reason why they said yes to the idea in the 1st place, because it's low budget.

i see it like this is how roman coppola tried to give his cv to the world.

[flannel1988]

What a lame, pretentious piece of shit video. I can't believe this shit got into New York City's MoMA. It was as bad as watching one of his sisters films.

[cerca87]

i REALLY enjoyed this

[pokabeb]

what the...? I'm either really stupid or this is really confusing.

[JBonthebase]

I like the way yer thinking ! sounds kind of like a punchline to a joke the way i just said that but the stream of consciousness works .I used take it for granted most people think like this, like us, BUT life has made me harden to the fact not all do >>happy to find another who does ! clicked with the idea ! great work keep up the struggle!

[bahbz]

I like this video! It works the same way my brain does when I let it wander. A series of thoughts and ideas flowing one after the other, seemingly disconnected. I like the way one idea has only maybe one molecule of similiarity to the next idea, one concept gives way to something seemingly unrelated. Thanks for sharing your brain Roman!

[yuppiroad]

I thought I was the only one ... except my mind writes my thoughts down into the structure of a fictional story rather than having the thought so voluminous and noticeable.

[barrybuttery]

People are saying this is artisic, etc, but to me it seems Roman Coppola is just trying his hardest to be as controvertial and amazing as his sister and father and it does not come across well.

This video is not arty, its a poor effort of a music video. The song however. A +++

[garymaher]

Come in here, dear boy, have a Funky Squaredance, you're gonna go far . . .

[bahbz]

My fave part starts at 6:40

[akani304]

love the song, and now, the videoclip!!! that was amazing!

[shenendonah1]

one of my favorite song! ...funky squaredance is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[boidkan]

liked it alot :)

[bailaromix]

really interesting video... nice..It seems that the artistic pulse is indeed in the gens

[PetersMagicalMachine]

This song rocks?

[Adoito]

waaaa should be one of my favorite videos ever....

[albinomonkassassin]

roman coppola is a genius.

[pikuelo]

great video, one of my all time favourites

[Tron1276]

man! HOW underrated IS Roman Coppola!? ...i mean, "CQ"!? it's waywaywayyyy too under-seen...i love that film SO much. everything about it is just brilliant: the actors, the production design, the plot -not to mention the stunning score by the ALWAYS amazing (+ equally underrated/under-heard) Mellow and the perfect cinematography...- can't wait for the second one Roman, it's certainly been awhile! (along with a new Phoenix LP!!) ...but in the meantime, all of you keep up the fuckin' GREAT work...

[e00d00d00y]

buen video interesante
