Clap Your Hands Say Yeah-The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth

[SilasHite]

Sweet!

[pandaeyes42]

I can sing out of my ass better than this!

[luhario]

@pandaeyes42 Good for your cunt.

[TheBalloonHoax]

He sounds like Tom Verlaine but other than that they sound pretty cool. I do hate the fact that they are now "based" in Brooklyn.

[clicknom]

Idc how acquired the taste may be, the taste is odd.

Nothing against it, but I only like the instrumental parts.

[wiltingplant]

people pay money to go to shows in which people sing like this? damn, between him and Tom Waits I've got me a new job!

[537John]

@wiltingplant get singing then dickhead se how many hits youget prick

[537John]

@wiltingplant Wilting plant your a cock

[flagslacker]

The vocals work well with the music. Pandaeyes42 are you in a band yourself? If so, Europe like this band?

[pandaeyes42]

Great song...until the lead singer starts singing!!!

[amyinarms]

@pandaeyes42 if you sung like that you would be a more honest man.

[mayatiita1]

That was fucking amazing!!! I love them. This song is brilliant!!!

[themodernage123]

@Assiman

I'm sure you do like em, I just think I could take it a little more seriously if the vocals didn't remind me of my cat in heat.

[superuser3017]

Reminds me of a young David Byrne... I love this song!

[themodernage123]

Seriously though would this not sound better if the guy just sang it without all the added voice cracks/geeky vibe or whatever he's doing? Lets not lie to ourselves, it would make the vocals sound as badass as the music, maybe i'll come around but as of now: LOVE the music but the voice kinda ruined it for me. I mean why turn such an awesome song into something like that?

[Assiman]

@themodernage123

I disagree with you. I like his vocals. Am I lying to myself now?

[cauleyjacob]

this is blissful

[Rasanjana]

Beautiful. I can understand why some people may hate this song, but to me...this is absolute music.

[Faulty264]

4:20

[chilipeppers95]

this is a fucking superb performance

[jeffy3442]

i like this song!!

[thekitesdk]

Hey. Take a listen to the danish indie pop band The Kites.. watch?v=RhIUmoByqG0

[myownplylst]

i like this song :)

[tatkaoz]

I don't get the point of negative comments, FULL STOP !

That means any and every where.

If you do an intentional search on a subject, then you are interested in the subject (i.e. positive emotion), unless you are a moron and want to leave decidely negative comments, if so, piss off and spare us your insignificant opinions in future, Oh, by the way I love this song.

[32wallace]

music starts at 0:45 if you want to skip to it

[lillaayyyy]

its a type of music you idiots

[ahshit1006]

isn't the singer purposely trying to sound like that... i think it produces a unique sound, that matches the song nicely... it would be too generic if the guy had a more common voice for this song

[petesteck]

definitely an acquired taste...but so is beer and I love beer

[monkeyman0077]

he isn't trying to hit a note it is just the style he sings in the same as on the album. it is fragile and cracking like a boy.

I can understand how people would hate it. Personally, I love it, its better on the album though, but its always different.

but It makes sense to hate it, just like I hate the Connor of the decemberists.

[doggydog56789]

the singer is pretty bad, but i like the song.

[degausser8]

it's an acquired taste

[doggydog56789]

your probably right.

[537John]

@degausser8 Would imply you need to develop one.

[HempForPresident]

oh my god.

[Zamonda94]

i love the french

[mineminemine124]

FOLLOW THEM ON TWITTER CYHSYtheband

[FlairDeuce]

Does anyone else think this song sounds alot like 'Awful' by Hole from the album Celebrity Skin?

[easypeesyjapanese]

meet you by the Allmakers Mall. Get tooled up; I'm the daddy. No knives, though: I can't go back to the big house.

[JolieJane]

Which part is the title of the song and what is the name of the band please?

Sorry, I'm confused as the title's so long XD

Great song :)

[Vader12Tater12]

The band is Clap your Hands say yeah

the song is the other one

[JolieJane]

Thanks :)

[djdirtbag514]

You could have just listened to the song for the lyric

(about 2:10) or furthered your investigation by watching one or two more videos, a quick google search, or maybe even wikipedia. I don't mean to flame you but I don't want you to appear ignorant in front of others, making it a habit.

[tatkaoz]

Cool, I'm a big fan, such a refreshing sound from our over sanitised techno-junkie filled void of a world in which we now live in. Indie music is the true music.

[swishagrapE]

first time I heard this, I was instantly hooked, and I find my self clapping and saying yeah for some odd reason????

[guitarbum37]

weird. same thing happened to me.

now i need it like cowbell

[hjt123]

you aren't required to like the disturbed and korn at your angsty pimple popping phase

[hjt123]

what does age have to do with appreciating good music?...

[HeronOfHeaven]

Alec Ounsworth's voice is really really creepy

[thisisntcarmen]

*claps hands, says yeah*

[natche2]

i got this straight away, not wierd at all.

[rongravy]

crazy music, but it's growing on me.

[1419m]

same

[yodasoda10690]

any one know what kind of les paul is he using its looks really nice.

[andres270686]

Look like a LesPaul Jr.

[hiimconnor1]

im 14 and i love this

[blah97840]

there style is so weird, seeing them live is weirder. But i really enjoy the song alot.

[AnnaThatShibby]

Ha. I'm only 15 and even I can appreciate this good music.

[alxfeld]

me too

[excmoecheve]

nunca los habia escuchado en direto y lo hacen un poco mal................

[gbay99]

it must be really hard for him to sing like that over and over

Clap your hands say yeah rocks!

[1964texan]

i love the cd. saw them live and the guy sounds like a dying hyena. this is total crap, joke's on us.

[pandaeyes42]

English, dude, english!

[alexjmroy]

this not surprises me...the worst unespected live of FIB'07, doesn't have a comercial video!you only can see their awfull directs.. :S

[brujeriadiosa]

man, I know I was fucked up but the Stones in concert (1982?) was the worst...like they all had the fucking palsy and Ron Wood puked on the front row. I wasn't high when I paid $85 USD for the ticket though.....so many joints being passed you'd wind up with more than you could hold in your fingers and everyone singing along.

[MacklinReed]

I see what Matawhatever means. Not all great bands are the best to watch on stage. Whatever, like he said, its still good music. Just relax and enjoy!

[conrad212]

we don't take kindly to haters like MataHari1980 round' here. go watch a linkin park video if u wanna hate. for Clap your hands, its their own music, they can present themselves however they want to, and they especially don't produce music for haters! Rock on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

[SurfaceToday]

i suppose you own the page dipshit? you're the fucking hater.

i agree with matahari, the singer sounds terrible -- like a constipated castrated thom yorke.

[conrad212]

hahah surfacetoday, just saw ur love song #5 video. check ur own singing before bashing a known group. i dont know if u planned on being out of tune, or it just happened that way, but i would listen to clap your hands anyday over that garbage. constipated? or ingenious unique sound...check your words. at least they arent a cheap jack johnson rip-off.

[SurfaceToday]

that would be the only video of mine you watched asshole, so how the fuck would you know what I sound like? i'm going to ignore that jack-johnson bullshit purely in deference to your total ignorance. get some talent of your own before you pass judgement asshole.

[conrad212]

lol such harsh words. these comments must really offend you deeply. i watched other videos of yours as well and felt like commenting on the one i spoke of. you can defer it however you wish but that was my opinion. you chose to place your music online, i do not. you had better get used to criticism if you display your music on YouTube pal...welcome to the real world.

[SurfaceToday]

because you couldn't find anything bad to say about the others, i'm assuming.

but it's your opinion, and that's fine.

though the guy above still sounds like he's got a giant dump he can't get out.

and that, my friend, is truth.

[mojoman541]

he's ment to sound like that u jerk off!

[timrules]

MataHari1980 is a fuckin hater

[LazyHippi]

great song to listen to on the way to work in the morning

[mmace91]

I love the way she says "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah"

[MataHari1980]

I saw them live: they're not good.Sound quality in this vid is very bad. It's because of the vid. Sound quality live is ok.

But they need more energy on stage. On their concert it seemed that all of the band dont't have a great mind to play. It seemed like they were quite tired, stoned or something else. Never ever saw a concert before with a so unenthusiastic singer!

Nevertheless: I LOVE THEM!!!!

I just won't go to another concert. It's enough to hear them on CD,at bars,clubs.

[panilson]

man i saw them live too. they do not keep the energy all thru the show, that's true, but they put some climax in each song, and that's thrilling. moreover you can really feel the groove! i adore them!

[fiffer83]

They sound nothing like this life. They are REALLY energetic and Alec sounds as good if not better than on the album. The sound quality is just really bad on this video.

[Professorbee]

they are bad live. however this is one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life.

[koridatz]

I don't think so, I think the audio is just bad

[MacklinReed]

sound quality kinda sucks.

[charaus]

wow the gay intro was really gay

[miceypoo]

Sounds like "Melt the world"? with David Bryne singing

[Krazyklown01]

Yuck! this sounds horrible compared to how it sounds on CD

[kimiroah]

awesome

[mikescircus]

Reminds me of The Feelies or even a little bit of Television. I'll take the Feelies and Television over this but it's still a catchy tune.

[FallingDownMountains]

This reminds me of old Modest Mouse.

[EddieNCdublJ]

me too, but with Syd Barrett and Meddle ('71 release by Pink Floyd) Two whole sides of Pink Floyd

[pandaeyes42]

English,dude,English!!!

[AdictedGirl]

lol

could'nt agree more!

[sufjanlei]

Been lucky to see them twice, very high energy :D

[flood1158]

i love these guys cuz they defy normality and are so inventive

[blackpoolsblowin]

I like that description one reviewer gave of his voice-like a failing sealion was the description,perfect,they're class

[theworldisgarbage]

the whole appeal of CYHSY is the singer's voice and their laissez-faire approach to music. johhny lydon and kurt cobain couldnt carry a tune, but i still love the music they make because of that. it's all about being genuine, something todays artists severely lack.

[goneskateboarding]

Well you see lyndon an artist will always tend to sound like "that other band" but its the subtle differences that give me a fleeting hope this music will be around for the generations who dont know about the Sonic Youth and the New Order we do, and the hope they dont listen to that awful racket rap... not hip hop the bullshit rap, you know what im talking about :)

[beastlysonja1]

this band is so great

[pandaeyes42]

I haven't heard a singer that needs subtitles this badly since James Reyne!!!

[weaselidiotu]

his voice sounds much better on the album.. in this live performance it kind-of stinks. very good band. love them

[LyndonTCorbett]

Dinosaur, Pixies, Sonic Youth and countless others from that era have already done this sound to death. Between these guys and Broken Mascis Scene, I'd say that they certainly proved their point - they (today's musicians) sure don't write them like they (yesterday's musicians) used to! Don't get me wrong, this track has a tight rhythm section and the melody is very catchy, but it sounded dated from the get go. If that is good or bad, you be the judge.

[hflevack]

Welcome to Post-Modernism. May I take your order?

[machineinindia]

What a snobby douche

[Modest86]

when did sonic youth ever use a synth?

[LyndonTCorbett]

Who mentioned anything about synths other than you?

[Modest86]

"Dinosaur, Pixies, Sonic Youth and countless others from that era have already done this sound to death."

[LyndonTCorbett]

Is the sound from the Juno 60 is the only sound in this song? Me thinks not. And I recall Sonic Youth having their gear stolen in California and among the gear were synths.

Since I can't stand SY, I'll leave what songs they actually used a synth on up to someone else to point out.

[shaneclark]

awesome song

[Nirvanaluver]

the recording quality isnt so great, love the song though

[u2fan4894]

i luv this band. they are indie but so miniscule that u have never heard of them. i saw them a few days ago, and it wasn't like seeing a big band, where half the people are not real dedicated fans. everybody there was really into it. and i would be dissapointed if this guys got mainstream. the vocals are great, but its one of those things in life u either luv or hate. i leave this band up to your judgement. but if u don't like it at first, listen to it again. and again.

[Dammnit]

YES, best song ever. Its always played during our backyeard git togethers <3

[BLSsdmfBLS10]

They are one of my favorite bands of all time...I know he is hard to understand but you get used to it..like death metal lol....His voice is aweomse..anyone who is talkin shit you better try singing like that....CYHSY are the BEST

[pandaeyes42]

The singer sounds like he's both in pain and ripping off David Byrne wholesale. At least Talking Heads were cool. CYHSY-like their sound but can't stand the singer's voice.

[xnoobcorex]

I listen to grindcore and i find him abbrasive.Plus he cant re-create his studio sound live, which is fucking funny to me, because if you cant hack it live, you dont deserve to be in a band sweetheart. Oh and theboypaperweight, stop being an internet tough guy. If you actually think you will find the person and "personally murder" them, you are indeed an inbred hillbilly. Oh will you pass on a message to the lead singer of cyhsy 'once you grow pubes and can talk in a deep voice, make an album.'

[BLSsdmfBLS10]

They are one of my favorite bands of all time...I know he is hard to understand but you get used to it..like death metal lol....His voice is aweomse..anyone who is talkin shit you better try singing like that....CYHSY are the BEST

[1birdy1]

Not my cup of tea, I like the sound, it's kind of like modest mouse, but I really don't like the singing style. I can see why some people might. I'm more of a folk type guy, so I enjoy hearing the words. I've looked at a few videos for these guys because a friend really likes them. Keep rocking.

[theboypaperweight]

im going to personally murder another person who talks shit about the way he sings. get a fucking life. if you dont the way he sings find better go find something better to than look up their music and talk shit. go back and listen to your justin timberlake records fuckface.

[suzyleeIII]

this video has shitty audio quality, don't judge the band by it.

[ccajina23]

i'm pretty sure he is drunk, that's why he sounds like that. i <3 the music, but their live performances are horrendous. it's better to get drunk and dance to their music in your living room--- for free.

[Sypran]

ok i love the singer but he is speaking english i know it hard to under stand but hes speaking english! and hes suposta sound drunk i think thats y he sings like that

[PeaceLoveEquality]

fuck everyone who doesn't like the singer. they're fucking awesome because of the singer.

[akeaneau]

clap your hands would be an awesome band if they didn't have such a shit awful singer

[EmoPenguinStudios]

he sings like a dingleberry

[theboypaperweight]

shut the fuck up dumbass. find something else to do and stop look up bands just to talk shit.

[libertines24]

man that was cool

[pandaeyes42]

I can sing better than this prick! What language is he singing in anyway? Sure as hell doesn't sound like english!

[mogloh]

you are stupid

[pandaeyes42]

no mogloh, YOU are stupid!

[dav2k1]

lmao, come on this song is awesome and his voice is unique and therefore in a way better than anyone else.

[josepebhoy]

rock and fucking roll

[charlieruins]

That man can wail.
