Noisettes - Scratch Your Name: Performance Version- Closed Captioned

[CrazedPeeling]

very different 'n fresh to me, in style and energy.

i dig.

[luke200202]

i met the guitarists dad the other day .(buffalo bill) he is the most awesome harmonica player ,he told me dan wrote this song in there frontroom after one of there friends died and left nothing or nobody behind,how cool.check out buffalo bill ,st ives.

[BaddaBigBoom]

Yes, he is a great player -I've been working with him recently -didj and harmonica yayy! /watch?v=HI4XlqB1oW8

[PurpleGem8]

AWESOME BAND

[bobbycratchit]

yeah, they were terrific in concert. She was amazing!!! So much energy. And the band was great.

[MsMsAbcd]

I love it!!

[Belial216]

awesome vocals

[SPICESMUGGLER71]

This song is great and the Mr. Wolf LP is pretty good. The band is tight and full of energy, but the songs are lacking. Wild Young Hearts is a completely different approach, sound-wise, and is influenced by many genres and periods; motown, punk, 80's dance-pop, etc. What sets WYH apart are the songs. Those amazing, amazing songs. Can't stop listening to it. I suspect LP #3 will be yet another approach.

[tubytootoo]

This one is good, but the best song on the album is capture the spirit, which is one one of the greatest songs. But the album is sort of all over the place and it kind of looked like they were trying to figure out their sound.

The drummer is so underrated. His style is so unique and neanderthalic. I loved watching him live. The new stuff they're doing doesn't showcase him very well. Same goes for guitar.

[HaitchP2008]

"The drummer is so underrated. His style is so unique and neanderthalic. I loved watching him live. The new stuff they're doing doesn't showcase him very well. Same goes for guitar" i agree 100% Hes an awesome drummer, and stuff like atticus shows the skills the guitarest has. They both have very unique styles. But now theyre in the mainstreme its all about shingia...but she is ridiculously awesome aswell. I hope they go back to their punk roots

[amaaani1]

I saw them live yesterday and Ohmygosh they are SO FUCKING ACE live!!! So vibran and fun!!! YESSS!!

[Quemin]

RIP the old Noisettes. I will miss your Rock N Roll days!

I really don't like that they had to buy into this corporate techno, dance pop thats 'in' now, to sell records.

But they have to make money...

I just hope that the next album is more grounded towards their roots.

And they need to stop focusing so much on Shingai and rather the WHOLE BAND!

[amaaani1]

Yeah I agree on the focusin on Singai shit.... But it's not necassary them, it's also the people that listen to them, saying "Ohmygosh I wanna meet Shingai she is so goood!!". All three of em are increddddibly and equally talented!!

[luke200202]

i spoke to dan the guitarist the other day in st ives,he is gonna rock out when hes got some money behind them and some rec companys

[zukuzukuzukuzuku]

channelin' some iggy pop here

maybe not but i'm sensing something to that effect

[Jackst3r2747]

Hate me if you must.

But i think this isn't the best of their songs.

Then again, I am more a fan of the dace genre.

[asaspades29]

wow...if this isnt the best song ever...what is

[Boygasmo]

not captioned

[GvannD]

I love her, her hair, and the band!!

[brkconsults]

heard a portion of this song on the very last episode of "the sopranos. heard the whole thing here. very impressed.

[backto1960]

I have the HUGEST CRUSH on Shingai. Can't wait to see her live on August 5th

[lucaskaza]

This song is absolutely amazing.

[LollersFacexo]

she's sexy as ..

i'd tap that.

[xOMissWardxO]

I Love This Song :O

[stiemogo]

Wow...this is the first time I've seen this group. Loved it.

[goodyfun]

I can't believe it has been almost three years since this video came out! I love this song. 2007 was awesome!

[SmiLeLoVeDaNce1732]

i did a solo dance to this song...and it was awesome

[vb6tut]

This is one of the best songs ever.

[garfreeek]

finnally a band that only fits under one genre: sounds like noisettes ^_^

love their songs = D

[GuyInYourBushes]

Yeah thats what i thought until i heard "upset the rhythm" I think i died a little.

[BBChacha26]

Je suis d'accord, ils ont radicalement changés de style, c'est décevant je trouve :(

Je ne sais pas pourquoi ils ont faits ça, ils font de si bon morceaux :O :(

[PinkRoseAwesomemetal]

I love this song, and vid.

The first time I heard this song was

when I was in Aeropastle. LOL !!! ^-^

[vahnx1337]

Sopranos ftw

[SmiLeLoVeDaNce1732]

love this song! (but i dont like how the lyrics are different than the one that i listen to) <3 the noisettes =)

[MoonmothMedia]

Incredible voice- it can do so much and she can put expression into a tune like some people put expression into speaking. Just experimental and cool.

[Flamefoxflamingo]

I love the crazy style in this vid.

Wish I could pull it off.

[footiemad87]

at about 2:03 it sounds like she says 'scratch your name into the fabric of this world, before you go, i have'

[Blovinjack]

thats the chorus :D

[footiemad87]

what the 'i have' if you listen closely at the end

[footiemad87]

ok but what do you mean by 'what i did'? im just saying listen closely after she says that line after the words 'before you go'

[Blovinjack]

OOOOOOOOoooooooooo sorry im a twit

[footiemad87]

lol im made it quite hard to understand sorry, and whos been giving me thumbs down? lol

[bellybum21]

i hope they aint demonic-..lol-cus i likem'

[AutumnDevi]

lol, i saw your comment before...are you being serious? 'cause i would think if you were really worried about that you'd stay as far away from any kind of rock as possible.

[bellybum21]

lol-so u r saying they're demonic?in some sort of way?omg noooooo i hope not even tho i havva strong feeling that they r-idk- i like monte christo tho so idk

[AutumnDevi]

...i don't think the Noisettes are particularly bent on enforcing a Satanist agenda or anything. i just figured that if its such a concern for you you'd be far "safer" listening to a different genre.

[joejwt]

i usually don't like bands with female singers

dunno why

but she is so fucking good

[AutumnDevi]

If you like her style, you might want to check out the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

[joejwt]

oh i know the yeah yeah yeahs, but their singer is not nearly as good as shingai =)

but thanks anyways

[MackyTrumper]

great! :]

[Abdinazir]

I love the instruments and her style.

[2ToneThomas27]

who has basstabs for this??

[nhsgymnastics101]

its been almost 3 years since i known about them, theyre great :D

[BlackFlame619]

I like it. =D

[anfchick63]

saw her in concert as an opening with the maccabees for bloc party, her voice is outstanding. luv her.

(:

[whatyoudreamof]

She is such an EXCELLENT rock vocalist. She is definitely one of my favorites.

[goodyfun]

Her voice is so rock out. I love this band; They're doing something great. These lyrics are so damned good.

"On your marks come on, get set go

People defend your sovereighnty"

[raiduk]

Rock isn't dead : The white stripes, The queens of the stone age, radiohead and the noisettes do exist.

[cal31BRIAN23]

YOU LEFT OUT BLOC PARTY!!!!!

[Nadia2887]

Why am I just now finding out about this! Thi IS rock.

[d40g]

i with you on dat

this shit is the shit

[v12kid]

FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[Rimg]

sound like a superhero theme NICE!!!

[rupeshbhatt]

i love the harmony right near the end (2:49)

[rickwaz]

I actually heard a peice of this song in the last episode of the Sopranos. Freaking amazing. There's hope after all for the current music scene.

[footiemad87]

wot, they toured with muse in 06, i saw them live, wots rong with muse lol

[noirpoetix]

i've stumbled upon greatness!

[glenrich84]

i did too, how did we get here?

[raymondScales]

Noisettes rock amazing performers live

[lexxlecrisisIII]

shingai...the straightest girls fall all over her.

[Applebaum]

here here

[aragom217]

esta cancion es lo mejor de lo mejor'''''''

viva the noisettes''

[manuman41]

when i see for the first time a video of this group inmediatly i fall in love of the singer, she`s awesome ,her style is unique and they`r music is awesome too(and a apologise for my englis, like you can seee is not too good,but we try)

cuando vi por primera ves un video de este grupo inmediatamente me enamore de la vocalista, es increible, su estilo es unico y su musica es asombrosa(y una disculpa por mi ingles que no es tan buen -y komo podran ver mi español tampoco- pero lo intentamos)

[CeyennaLuvsMJ]

this song rules!!

[raemalynn]

they're on The Hills playlist for MTV! i couldn't believe it when i saw them on there! but i hope it gets them more well known- everyone would love the Noisettes! <3

[rugshort]

I've just seen the guitarist and singer perform an acoustic set at a small club in front of 60 people. I'd never heard of them before, they were outstanding. She is possibly the best female singer I've ever heard.

[Cherrycola9]

that's soo awesome! they need to perform in LA soon! they're freakin amazing!

[xLucx]

JAAAAMMMMMIIIIIEEEEEE FOREVAAAA XD

[jochechocha]

que graciso q puedan firmar gente de trodo el mundo,=)

[helowako]

This band should be more well known !

awesome!

[peanut29]

the drummer was in my brothers band!

[bobbycratchit]

Really? How cool! I saw them in concert here in San Diego and they were sooo good! She was so much fun. She was all over the stage and the band in general had a ton of energy.

[espmania]

thats cool,really cool cuz,this band is awesome,is different from other bands,like,a diferent style.

[stigma12]

love it!!haha! nice intro!

[spacetimecontinuum]

They are good,SHE is SLAMMIN!!!

Cant wait to see them.

[MUN7001]

they have performed an opening for bloc party in Atlanta, search the video

[circasp]

wow one of the better bands i have seen in a while great song =]

[againstmyheartbeat]

YOU WENT TO SCHOOL WITH SHINGAI!!! SERIOUSLY??? OMG!!!!!!!! that's awesome!

[caramelxxx]

I went to school with Shingai - she was in my class! So happy she's living her dream!!

[eyeluv2dance]

really????????? what was she like? was she bitchy? smart? nerdy? hippy? lol

what school?...

[caramelxxx]

She was cool!! ALWAYS singing in class and gettin into trouble for it! Everyone loved her - she was one of the class jokers! LOL

[pentaq]

your classmate is hottest and most unpretending female singer ever.

[silversunpickups11]

Geez they rock! I love this song.

[Levesque999]

No idea how happy I am to see black girls playing rock music D:

[eyeluv2dance]

ABSOLUTELY AGREE!! she's definitley opening doors

[inspiredsister]

hot damn! i like this.

[xtrait2lux]

mon groupe favori du moment

[bigsweatypenis]

Anybody know what the guitar player is playing during the verses? He plays some interesting stuff. Somebody let me know please. Noisettes are the only good band (new band).

[yoshianan]

no way man! arcade fire r pants. i saw both of them at reading and noisettes definatly win it for me :D i'd say subways wud be a pretty gd match for people who like this...

this is a great video as well, i luv the bits when shes just walkin at da camera

[superariell]

lmao i agree wuith archer1949! at the end of the day all the fergie and shit artists like that are just selling sex! i love the noisettes. anyone that likes the noisettes should try out arcade fire

[xtrait2lux]

c'est excellent , leur son c'est une pure merveille

[nietzcheisdead]

oh my gosh. i love her.

[nietzcheisdead]

it's so nice to see a talented black singer outside the usual genre!!

[Lindasaurus]

It's really funny because rock started with the blacks in America. Look up Chuck Berry, you'll be amazed. I love the history and I think it's insane.

[archer1949]

The world needs more Shangais and less Beyonces and Fergies. A LOT less.

[KamikaziKazoos]

I agree to the ends of the earth! I mean come on already we all know how to spell!

[WeCouldGetArrested]

Maybe my favorite Noisette Song, humm not sure

[milkchin1]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[maichipo]

Mwana wedu iyeye! Haadyi chimwe chinhu kunze kwe Roller meal!!!

[tenpenny87]

bwa hahahaha i shuwa

[Milchild14]

lol, i'm black and I dont like rock persay. i just like The Noisettes. Well mainly just the shingee. She could be a model. Shes got this exotic aura around her dat makes people gravitate towards her.

[retr0metr0]

this is nice.

[lenincillo]

ta en algo..

[Rotarrius]

her voice is incredible!

[Glynis]

hypnotizing! Shingai's beautiful

[backtoiron]

is that band from the UK?  just wondering because like I didn't expect the singer to be black and you know, most black singers in the US don't play rock. Not being racist, that's just how it is and stuff.

[maiasm]

Yep, they're a UK band. Actually, I've been seeing more and more bands with black musicians lately. Mainly in other countries, but it's spreading.

[krhtikos1982]

noisettes are fucking great!that's why they play with muse:)!

[MikeyPaniker]

This is one of the best videos ever. It's fantastic when Shingai's walking down the stairs...I mean, wow. She's got such strength in her, she's beautiful.

[glazeguy]

Great performer, but the obvious Karen O, or Grace Jones comparisons might arise....

[labbern]

noisettes is awsome.

[therealP88]

Noisettes, you're great!!!!! Everytime I listen to What's the time Mr. Wolf my mood inproves 100%

[u03tf5]

These costumes are ACE.

[thatjessicagrl]

Oh my dear sweet gourd...this is just so so so so so so so so cool! I so have a girl-crush on this chick.

[kblavie]

The guitar riff right after the chorus is killer.

[EmpressEricka]

i am ABSOLUTELY feeling this shit right HERE. come to LOS ANGELES!!!!

[guitargirl33]

noisettes are almost as good as bloc party :)

[interpolluter29]

By the way people, if you are looking for more black rocker chicks (had to do it), X-Ray Spex, Imani Coppola are ones you can also look to. I'll look for more.

[Quemin]

Those and Skunk Anansie, The Bellrays, RedThe band (all three black rocker chicks), The thermals, Wicked Wisdom, The Objex, and the Suffrajets. Yeah, I researched. >_<

[rastdamon]

Thanks for the info. Always looking for good music!

[MiyaunnaCleveland]

THANK YOU.

[interpolluter29]

Go to Wikipedia, and search. Kimya Dawson is alsp listed as another :-)

[rastdamon]

Thanks for the info. Their CD is the Shit!

[wannabefilms]

She kind of reminds me of how Grace Jones was in the 80s in this video specifically....although she's NOTHING like Grace Jones. Watch how she comes down the stairs in the middle of the video btw....I don't know...she just rocks in this! Futuristic garb never seemed so present day to me.

[squirtgunrobbery]

i love her voice. some say they're Billie Holiday fronting The White Stripes. I don't think I see it. She is soulful, though, which is great. She reminds me of Karen O some times.

i love her taco hair.

[interpolluter29]

You see the Karen O comparison, too? I'm already starting to wonder whether this band will wind up knocking the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to the side for independent attention.

[squirtgunrobbery]

no. the YYYs are amazing. and this is the band's debut, it's not even EXTREMELY acclaimed. i mean, it's pretty good. but it's a different type of noise rock than YYYs (which, by the way, the YYYs are switching a tiny bit.)

unless Noisettes become the BRITISH YYYs.

[rastdamon]

OMG! I love the YYY's. I also really like these guys too. Rock n Roll!

[NoAverageChica]

i fucking love her style!!!!!

[jimdivet]

i dont know why, but i saw them supportin musein aberdeen and they were terrible, i went to see them again in a small venue, moshulu and it was one of the live performances ive ever seen, maybe there just better in small venues :)

[gemthehippie]

most bands from the UK are brillant. this band is awesome, good sound and its something new. love it.

[emdo89]

agree with all you say

[archer1949]

Shingai is THA SEXXXX!

[diomy83]

I love them. Fresh NEW. Saw them playing live. they are just great. Like them a lot. I love the girl. Very unique!cant wait to hear a new album!

[Asuplex]

These should be the biggest band on the planet. Its what rock is all about. Put on a performance and make kick ass music. Screw colplay and all that other UK bollocks. This is something new for once.

[hjt123]

dont bash coldplay mate,,,these guys are rele good and so is coldplay

[Asuplex]

Wrong. Coldplay are drippy bollocks.

[shred25]

Alright!!! Something different from the voice, look and everything! This band just rawks! Shingia is so sexy and I love her voice!

[augustwhispers]

i saw them in concert about a year ago or so when they were touring with the kills and bloc party.

needless to say, i bought an album and tee the same night.

they rock in concert.

she even wore a native american headdress.

[WNxTemplar]

man this is a good song whats the album this is on?

[thefabbee93]

whats the time mr wolf

[kekoaT]

this is a musical orgasm.....Shingai Shoniwa is a fuckin goddess..... she's the black karen o..except way more talented and to top it off she's way hotter :)

[zukuzukuzukuzuku]

[richard2156]

[richardtowey9999]

i think we all agree the drummer is a facking beast

[StarBrite1]

Finally something new!!!It's nice to see a black woman not scared to go outside of the box. I like the song it has a very powerful message, don't hear songs with much meaning nowadays. I like them! Wish them much success!!

[interpolluter29]

You forgot about Imani Coppola already?

[gloreeya]

I love her voice.

[fashvixen29]

love this video .nice to see a black rocker chic

[AtlantistoInterzone]

That's so true right?!

She's fierce.
