[sajid7787]

I LOVE MY COUNTRY INDIA.........JAI HIND...!!!!

[akhilsankar19]

what is this man? this is not sarcasm this is negative.

jagoo loogo, apni school uinform se bahar ao.

seems like an ammature song struggling to get some attention by intentionally agitating a socio political stitutation. shame on you people!

what is bangaloru rock?

did you ever heard a malayali rock ?

shut up! what?

[GrandmasterTigerfist]

Kick democracy and islam out of India

[GrandmasterTigerfist]

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

[somethingcool4eva]

the lyrics make no sense but the song is really cool

[mfcfr]

not really a good song to be fair

[devendrapai]

this one is real cool. I am not much of rock guy neither do i know any Indian bands but this song rocks!

[growl2glory]

I love the way Bruce plays the guitar. This song is definitely catchy and apt for the moment. As always - great job. \m/

[mekoolz]

love it all the way... i am making it my profile tag-line on facebook and orkut. if you are reading this, please do so. we need to encourage youngsters to vote in India this time.

[mayapillai88]

i love the lyrics!

[amithbn]

loved the tune!!

which band is it?

[amithbn]

OOps, I just saw the description!!

And what I expected it would be, a Bangalore-based band!

It's called "Thermal and a Quarter".

[slickth13f]

killer song.

all you negative fags are just pissed this video's got no tits all over the place.

nobody's asking you spazs to vote.

youd be better off on election day sitting at home watching IPL and porn

[mekoolz]

spot on....

[meow9772]

i soo agree

[mihirmodi]

Come on, don't judge. I mean, in all fairness, I have the right to dislike a song right? Or just not like it that much?

Even though I appreciate the spirit in which it is made, at the end of the day its a song... and you will have people who wouldn't like the song!

[meow9772]

nice song.....quite inspiring :D

[sangters]

Sounds like MY SHARONA.... /watch?v=kVdnqEyToqg

They shoud sue bruce lee...lol

[shankarbn]

Sad song.. !!! its not even rock!! and it is so negative.. what could have been an awesome concept has become negative by the lyrics and the anthem(anthem? what were you thinking?)

[iammanusharma]

v good concept but Pathetic song.. could have been positively projected..

[mekoolz]

dude, it is positively projected... the song is asking people to stop complaining (thus shut up) and just vote for the right person... whats negative in it?

[bloodstainedrebel]

I hated this song!!!! I thought it was pathetic! but then, I don't know.. you listen to it a couple of times and the song really grows on you - I found myself humming it quite a bit! So, all of you who didn't like it - listen to it a couple of times and you will start liking it... but yea... it's not really an anthem.. but a good song in the end!!

great work guys!

[getvicky13]

groan...its a good song people! look at it this way. had it been 'wake up and vote' or anything of the sort, it really wouldnt have made you look up and watch the video and listen to the song. if you really care to bother, go read the thermal and a quarter blog. you'll know why they named the song so.

[acewholes]

9k views for a campaign this big!!! pathetic

[my2bit]

Quite a yawn. As long ppl vote, even if its after watching these type of rock songs. Why not?

[DJournoDpka]

Too commanding.....voting is telling your decision, how can one shut up and vote....and most of all...its about making informed choice and select the right candidate...not just keeping finger no your lips and vote for the sake of voting.

Music is good.....

[ecowarrior213]

ughness.

whats wrong with people talking about 'too negative'. why so sensitve?

this song is asking people to 'shut up and vote', which means its asking us to stop complaining, stop being so negative about India and its politics, and just GO OUT AND VOTE!

its not about stifling free speech or promoting opinionless-ness or something like that!

[nnimmaga]

Fantastic Song, Just Very good!, The tune, The words, the backdrop everything is just good!

[sandeepbetageri]

best work................. good gob i am vth u

[swapnil]

"shut up and vote" - sounds like coming from someone trying to capture a booth --- it could have been - wake up and vote!

Not criticizing the song, it is a great one! but personally, slightly negative connotation!

Voting and shutting up cannot go togther .. voting is opening up, not shutting up!

Cheers! I will vote this time!

Swapnil

[nnimmaga]

It actually means that

"No Excuses Please, Vote! "

[vikrambb]

Just too good....

[SheriyarUnwalla]

Good music and I really appreciate the efforts and purpose of the 'Jago Re' movement. But the song could've been less arrogant - without the "Shut-up".

[astutibb]

The idea is nice... I love the visualization. The background of newspaper articles covering all the wall space is great. Also liked the finger on the lip for shut up and vote! (gr8 idea). But the music could have been better, it's not in the class expected for "Jaago re's anthem song!"

[ambarim]

Shut up......

[deepaknk12345]

The tune is catchy but the lyrics needs lot of work

[jontzz1215]

the anthem is catchy and the youth will truly dig it as it is their kind of music, hopefully they go and vote in large numbers not just rock to the music. jaagore you are doing great work, keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mysticmorphine]

c'est terrible! stop trying so hard! Jaago re is starting to loose its edge just as i thought it had what it takes to actually make a difference. Horrible lyrics/video/song/attempt.. blah! ugh! yuck!

[singhhorney]

good job. keep it up. the youth of today has to know his rights and understand that he has to vote for the right candidate to secure his own and the country's future.

keep it guys !

[NeoDimension]

By the way, the guitar riffs are very catchy!! Great job on that! Lyrics sure need to be diplomatically modified.

[NeoDimension]

Hey guys, I can see you have got a lot of negative comments, some of them justified, others not. But trust me, this is indeed a step in the right direction. Music can influence masses. You have taken a GREAT initiative and its highly appreciated! As a die hard patriot, I am glad people are taking the pain to spread the message. Kudos!

[shashankforever]

wat is dis "shut up" is that thermal and quarter band is ordering the youth of demacratic country

[dmanranaway]

This is not an anthem. It seems to be more of a promotional campaig for teh rock artist, Anthem is one that seeps into our hearts and we continue to sing it in all conditions

[suhimast]

for me it seems to be ...promotion of the band...but not the anthem...for jaago re

why not try ....some cool music an inspiring video..

[mmanirudh]

The Jaagore team could have done better - more so with the anthem that's supposed to draw in large audiences. Very disappointing.

[herstory108]

Good band, nice lyrics, useful message with a catchy tune  - good job guys!!

[arviy2k]

what kind of a name is Thermal and a Quarter?

[arviy2k]

Not Inspiring at all. "shut up and vote" is rather inappropriate as it sounds like an order by a dictator instead of the voice of a democracy. This also doesnt cater to all the voters as it appears to be targeted at a younger audience. Disappointing.

[getvicky13]

dude...how can you vote if there's a dictator???

[reach2dv]

Wonder if its a rock song or anthem. Please change it or tag it differently!

[hkishoreiit]

Sorry, did'nt like it at all.

0.5/5.0

[modelsumanta]

Would like to suggest Team JaaGo RE to think more creative. Make a song really recharging which could be worth of calling an anthem.

Chatterjee

[modelsumanta]

Guys you are probably right. I'm Sumanta Chatterjee, by profession a bengali n hindi actor and also one of the Kolkata city team coordinator working with Prantakatha Kolkata. I also think an anthem should be one which can pull up our patriotic emotions. Which can take us to that platform from where we can devote some of our time from our life to our loving country.

[shukla9999]

seriously guys...they need to know the meaning of ANTHEM....

uh come on.....its just so so...mediocre....or even below that..

[krislogy]

Few editions to my comment below.

i gz i shud'v said the "... as quoted by the comment-er BELOW vc..." n not ABOVE.

n agen BELOW instead of above in the last sentence

(sry this was the first time i commented on a youtube video so didnt know this)

thx bye :)

best of luck to the JaagoRe team :)

[krislogy]

nice attempt but... (m nt sarcastic, nor am i criticizing)

in my opinion, the one thing that matters the most :

as quoted from the first comment-er above

vcvenkatesh : IS -

"Anthem is smthg that evokes deep emotive feelings and makes everyone stand up and act"

i really didnt feel that, unfortunately. (maybe coz it WAS in eng; nt hindi - a more common lang 2 unstnd)

i suppose the creators NOT take the above comments as "BULLSHIT" but as suggestions in ways to improve things.

best of luck :)

[saranya178]

I'm an active follower of the Jaagore Campaign. This is dissapointing. Apart from the numerous 'shut up's' I didn't catch much of the lyrics. Can we have something a little more inspiring, and something that tells us about voting?

[vcvenkatesh]

You call it an Anthem? An Anthem is something that evokes deep emotive feelings and makes everyone stand up and act.

This is a disappointing Rock & Roll song targetted only at the hip-hop crowd.

Disappointed that such a crap is coming from such an elevated group like JaagoRe.

Try something on lines of "The Tree' from TOI for their Lead India Campaign.

I am a big fan of JaagoRe and an active propagator of this group. Dont disappoint me such rifraf and call it an ANTHEM.

[udtahathi]

cheap western imitation, lacks originality- far from anything Indian, voting, system.

I fails to understand why can't we be more original and create a sense of belongingness ?

Sorry, did'nt like it at all.

[sidtim]

I liked it :)

[keertikaj]

if its for mass public dude....it should be in hindi....i dont even like listening it to it like this....what u just targeted at with this campaign????

[anshultewari]

all those who bullshitted about the video, i wud request them to pay attention to the lyrics. This song is not crap, you are....the song is amazing. It clearly signifies that we must not run out of hope, coz hope lies in the right vote.......

[yalamarthi5madhu]

nice work

[hwabaj]

hindi mein bolo bhaiya...

[devendra4]

really sad video ... fully crap ... they should be asked to shut up...

[amt1010]

make it in local languages....otherwise this will be a flop show....

[che18on]

is this an anthem?/

my ass

[kkrieg24]

you guys suckk big time

this is the worst video song i have ever seen

[go4karma]

awfooooooolllll... seriously dis video does nt get connected to us.. the youth of india... pls tk better suggestions for some soulful anthem !!!

[areefmarufi]

pathetic song and artists... should have used Hindi as is the language of common man.!!

[neelo05]

What the fuck were ya'll thinking?

[vinodhavala]

I think the Jaagore Team...has to wake up.....awful video......90% of the youth don't recognise with the song. If you want to awaken the youth.....they should recognize themselves with certain elements in the song.....Wake up guys!!! This is not expected of u people

[aredev]

Just bakwaas Jaago Re campaigners 1st awaken yourself. Speak & promote in Indian languages not some foreign music.

[guzuru]

The very fact that you are on Youtube is not very Desi you see!

[nishadamit]

bakwas...doesn't really goes with the theme. if you are looking to awake a common indian man you should have a hindi song.

[pashtp]

couldn't stop but shutting up these guys. pathetic

[sarvagnpathak]

Cant bear this song. It seems the campaigners are just awakening very few westernized people and not the common Indian. Y cant they use HINDI or any other Indian language to reach out to the common Indian. Jaago Re O campaigner baba !!

[satishmehta1950]

Cant bear this song. It seems the campaigners are just awakening very few westernized people and not the common Indian. Y cant they use HINDI or any other Indian language to reach out to the common Indian. Jaago Re O campaigner baba !!

[shivraj1986]

Jaagore !!! Definitely an awakening anthem !

[deepsukhwani]

Its simply AWESOME...

All you youngsters out there..

"sHUT UP AND VOTE ....."

[umesh0509]

Mind Blowing.... "all the best"
