  • I have an astronomy class this semester in a planetarium. We started off the semester with a brief animated clip played on the planetarium of particles in the Large Hadron Collider doing some psychedelic shit to this song.

  • scary,smile like a DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • see what this song means by metal paper metal pens metal paper=heart

    metal pens=hands

  • ok if you can find the fuck i give then you win the true meaning of this song

  • do any of you realize when he says "robots" he means everyone is the same does the same things there all mindless zombies with no unique personality its a song of frustration of peoples state of mind its allot deeper than some trippy song its probably about some kid who moved to a large city and saw how dull and similiar everyone was it ended with him doing homicide or suicide.

  • I can't, Lord Kewell, for you see, I am tripping BALLS right now!

  • why ?? :'(

  • The black balloon is death and YOU are the red balloon. WAKEY, WAKEY! Look at the eyes on the balloons at the start. The red wakes up at the 11th hour! Wake up, Jesus is Lord dullards!

  • Possibly the cheapest music video ever.

  • Like, if you know this song from a trailer in your planetarium.

    Like, if you agree that this is a totally epic video.

    Like, if you think 583 people in this world need a mental evaluation.

  • 583 people didn't go to school with Robots.

    They don't understand the awesome of life that this song is.

  • Thumbs up if U heard this song at the national space centre

  • Still one of the best videos..evar.

  • I refuse to play, Gantz.

  • :D.  That's all the is to say.

  • Lets all agree that this is awesome :)

  • heard this in a shit boring planetarium and had to find out what it was :L good stuff

  • @lollipop08xo I work in a science centre and pressing the play button in the planetarium is one of my less glamourous jobs. Trust me, We are Astronomers (the show you would have seen with this song in) is the best planetarium show I've ever seen. o_0

  • @NobodyWeirdLikeMe haha! nothing against astronomy or anything its just beyond me, even though as far as I can remember the show was aimed at age 7+ and I still didn't understand :L

  • There's something slightly unsettling about this... I can't really say what it is. But the song is good.

  • Listen to the words - my interpretation is that he was sent on a "government vacation", meaning war, and part of him came back in a plastic bag. They taught him the rules - what he is supposed to say, but when he started teaching he told students the truth about what happened, so they put him in a place where no one could listen. Robot High School... everyone does what they are told. Robots!

  • Comment removed

  • @rsalisb Incredibly intelligent interpretation, makes perfect sense

  • I didn't bother reading all 1800 comments, so I may be repeating something commonly said, but is anyone else of the opinion that the ball has a needle or some other poking device on the front of it (that we can't see) to pop the balloons?

  • Does anyone else think it's just a little mean to stick someone in a classroom with only robots just because they forgot the school rules?

  • <3 this song !!!!~

  • This was badass when I first saw it a couple of years ago. I saw it now and it's still badass.

  • i want my 4 minutes back

  • i found this song when i was watching a video of cyborg from teen titans

  • i found this song when i was watching a video of cyborg from teen titnas

  • Gah! that unpopped balloon annoys me!

  • @FeelNFine same here i just wanna punch it

  • @FeelNFine Thanx, now I see it. -_-

  • @evanlava You are my robot friend, i bet no one will decode this...

  • This pretty much made my day perfect :P

  • Bloons Tower Defense 4

  • he missed one balloon

  • i came across this song in the "we are astronamers" documentary thing, and i just fell in love with this song

  • @lemming171 *astronomers.

  • @FaultAndDakranon indeed

  • @lemming171 Exactly the same as me. I was watching it in a planetarium called Intech in Winchester. Great place.

  • Incredible...Learning how to live like I'm under sedation

    Learning how to live like I'm already dead...

    

  • @xxappleeyesxx it's those chiiiiimessss

  • Hopefully our generation shall learn..

  • Great great song and video.

  • omg this whole album rules- to the max- my robot friend rules

  • This is the best song and video. Evar.

  • Dont quite get the video but i love the song.

  • I read some comments confused at this. I can plainly see something behind that turning thing holding that black ball thing, and that guy and the turning cylinder thing are on a platform thing going back and forth, as you can easily tell at the end. Anyway, cool video.

  • Love this. I almost never watch something twice. But this. This is good.

  • Looks like Devo.

  • I so love this song

  • I am not going to ask: "Drugs?"

    Instead: "Which ones?"

  • @ReverseDFatE all of them, at once!

  • @ReverseDFatE i think all of them

  • I am now disturbed.

    I think I like this.

    not sure. o_0

  • it's so nice!

  • That was bizzare.

  • I love this SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! <3 ~ <3 ~ <3 ~ <3

  • no me hubiera importado firmar este video

  • This sounds supicously like Alive...hmmmmmmmm

  • help i am in that class im a robot because i forgot and i got my legs in a plasickbag a week later

  • that would be cool on radio

  • Mesmerizing! I can't stop watching and listening to this.

  • whats the point of it????

  • Man, why do I love this so incredibly much?

  • i <3 this song and video!! :D

    i do get pretty dizzy though.....meh!

  • i enjoyed this :D

  • The song really starts at 0:53 :)

  • one of dynamic earth only good purposes :L good song

  • 3 things school does for you...

    ruins relationships

    ruins relationships with you parents

    makes you realize it'd probably be better to be dead

  • @yomommaisfatterthan

    your definantly some emo shick, how old are you 16? this will make TONS of sense if so.

    Stop being retarded.

  • This is a great song and great video. Good work, folks!

  • Robots are fucking Awesome!!! When i got to school i forgot, forgot! lol thats so me!

  • Nah i stumbled upon it when it was featured... What did they say about it at the space centre?

  • I went today, :L  It was narrated by David Tennant? :D

  • yep >_>

  • is it just me or is that theatre show where everyone heard of this song lol at the space centre in Leicester :P?

  • lol yeah

  • its also shown at dynamic earth in edinburgh and a bunch of other places ;D

  • this is a very hypnotic viedo

  • who the fuck gave this less than 5, fantastic song and very intriguing video

  • I thought that the song was intriguing and the video fantastic

  • i like this song, i heard it in the planeterium (sp?) when they were talking about the hydraun collider (i think that wha its called) funny enough that a lot of other people said there gonna look for this song as well :)

  • large hadron collider?

  • something like that, i dunno....i wanna go back to that place again....

  • lol

  • me 2 lol at the national space center?

  • actually i went to the space port at liverpool, merseyside.

    wheres the national space center?

  • Actually, if you watch in the end, the black ball doesn't move at all, but the cylinder and guy do on a platform that moves them back and forth. It's a camera trick that just follows the ball, making it seem like the black ball is moving, but it's not.

  • Its a magnet. :]

    Hehee Stoopid <3

  • @AnceyStar

    Also you could observe the impact between the black ball and the balloons.If the ball was moving ,on the impact, the balloons wouldn't just pop right away , they would first "go under the black ball" :) also when they collide the ball moves from left to right , struggling to stay in the same spot with a move that is very fake :)

  • i think the ball is being held on the ground by a metal arm that reaches back behind the drum. which would explain why it sways back and forth but never truly up and down, the ball its self is a ballon with the end attached to the non visible pipe so it appears to be perfectly round, then barbs wer attached to pop the other balloons,

  • It's a magnetic optical illusion

  • there's no way, it would be way to difficult to do, if you broke the speed the forces would be too different sending it flying, you would need large neodymium magnets or strong electro-magnets, either way it would be so much simpler to do it my way.

  • thats so awesome!!

  • I still don't get how that roller gizmo works, but whatever lol I love it. How do they come up with this stuff?

  • well the only way it would be possible is that the ball is constantly falling and the wheel is being spinned at just the right speed so that it doesnt fall either way lol, but its obviously fake, theres just no way one guy could keep it constantly going at the right speed.

  • theres no way, if u watch closely u can see that parts of balloons get hung up on it, if it was falling it would have to constantly be accelerating AND the balloons wouldn't get hung up

  • You are retarded.

  • lol mate, look at your own videos, because i believe you are talking about yourself when you posted this comment.

  • Thats magnetism.

  • The ball is floating, which makes me think that the ball is on a separate wire

  • Yes, but it doesn't bob around a lot when it collides with the balloons. It's pretty evident it can't be anything from the sides either because then it would hit the balloons. Unless the ball was extremely weighty it couldn't really be a wire.

  • "I went away on a government vacation, it was the best time that I ever had. Shipped me back home from a secret location, my legs came back later in a plastic bag. Metal papers, metal pens; metal hearts, metal hands. Memorized the rules and I learned to behave, but when I got to school I forgot, forgot. So they put me in a special class room, where everybody is a robot, robot.

  • @biuladen "Everything I say about my bad education, a million broken records have already said. Learning how to live like I'm under sedation. Learning how to live like I'm already dead."

  • @biuladen yeah... those are the lyrics... so?

  • @JWJSSIF so what? you own the video and I cant say the lyrics?

    If you dont have anything useful to say, be quiet, mate.

  • @biuladen Exactly. If you don't have anything useful to say, shut up. What's useful about copying and pasting the lyrics in a comment?

  • @JWJSSIF Right, shut up, i didn't mention your name, if you didn't like, then just Thumbs Down; FYI you should have noticed the 43 thumbs up over there right? Then make a favor for yourself, don't be stupid more than usual.

    Best wishes ;*

  • @biuladen First you copy/paste the lyrics to the song everyone on this page has heard, then you tell ME to post useful stuff of be quiet, which I call you out on, and you respond with the most nonsensical comment ever. Why can't I respond to your comment with another comment? Why may I only use the thumbs down button in order to express criticism? Why should I conform to the 43 people who liked your comment? Given that they have the same opinion as you, I think they're just as STUPID as you.

  • @JWJSSIF Indeed, and with that we are done, agreed? Now don't bother me anymore, will ya?

  • @biuladen Sure, ending up agreeing is the point of arguing, so if you agree with me that you're an obnoxious idiot, we've reached our goal. I'm fine with that.

  • @JWJSSIF Yeah yeah, whatever makes you shut up is fine. Stay glad you win. You understood the part not to bother me anymore or are you blind?

  • @biuladen I read that you don't want to be bothered by by, and I understood what I read. However I doubt that you meant it when you wrote it down since you keep responding to me, so I simply ignored it. I'll shut up when you shut up

  • Everything I say about my bad education a million broken records have already said. Learning how to live like I'm under sedation, learnign how to live like I'm already dead. Metal papers, metal pens, metal hearts, metal hands. Memorize the rules and learn a bit here, but when I got to school I forgot, forgot. So they put me in a special classroom, where everybody is a robot, robot.

    again. Perfect.

  • It's "Memorize the rules and learn to behave"

  • i forgot to fix the second part, but the first one i think its right, because he say forgot* =p

  • ... where everybody was a robot, robot...

    perfect.

  • I can't find this on iTunes! iTunes sucks major balls for this!! This song is amazing, anyone have a link?

  • @YourTubeCunt dude awesome comment makes me think of bender

  • I fucking hate techno.

    but this song is epic. splendidly done, knows exactly when to stop each loop (before they get annoying) with some great bass lines.

    Very well made

    oh plus, the music video is of superb quality, artistically that is.

  • the genre isn't techno.

  • Well I generally like to call all this type of similar music electronic music because it's done mostly with computers. Techno, bitpop, IDM. It's kinda how there's metal, death metal, punk and oldies, but they're all Rock.

  • this is electroclash
