Holy Fuck - Lovely Allen

[DemmelitionMan95]

the melody in the background.. i know it from some commercial.. but i cant think of it.. this is driving me insane!!

[gifuruderu]

the shugo tokumaru cover of this song is incredible. SEARCH IT!

[DadukoDave]

The bassist, when young, played the "I sat on my sandwich" kid in the peanut butter commercials in the early 80's. Boy did that kid make a mess of his lunch.

[rhettmatic121]

200% ★★★★DuH~

[BLADFLID798]

HOLY FUCK, now wheres the love button

[AtomicLizardFilms]

deinterlace your video next time, maybe it'll be watchable, great music...

[kpbotbot]

The number of wires visible on the video makes me love the song more <3

[MagicMan1581]

Pressing alt and liking this comment makes this song so much better.

I love this song :)

[Glixhasyou]

The actual consistent background string part is played by Owen Pallet, and recorded on the keyboard. Check out Owen Pallet though, that guy's amazing in his own right.

[LazyLunatic1]

Pokemon Snap, Rainbow Cloud. Its the same song!!! :O

[LookAtLIGHTS]

great :D



[a6entoren6e]

i would not expect a band named holy fuck to make this type of music. I LIKE

[LoveMetal33]

i just typed Holy Fuck and got this... which is fkn RAD!!!

[ESparendro836253]

I have this keyboard LOL

[RobinLaRoca]

Utterly brilliant.

[SpikeLee3000]

A lot of the distorted vocal noises are actually samples of Denzel Washington's voice being stretched on an old piece of tape. It sounds like I'm kidding, but it's true.

[qwertywtflol]

Epic win sauce flowing into me plug holes!

[UnderligKrydda]

oh Holy Fuck allen that's lovely

[tphil95]

I still own this Keyboard :) Still play it too hehe

[maikeru13]

I must say, this song sounds oddly similiar to the Rainbow Cloud mission in Pokemon snap... ** man, I need to learn Engrish.

[maikeru13]

I must say, this song sound oddly familiar to the Rainbow Cloud mission in Pokemon snap...

[thevinylproject1]

I love the energy they feed off eachother and the music.... favourite video of all time.

WHAT WAS I THINKING!?

[Emilyheartsyou53]

I heard this song and I immediately kept wondering what the background melody came from and I've finally figured it out. It's from a small toy keyboard with a number of different melodies built into it. The first sound you hear in the track is the sound the play keyboard makes when you turn it on. This song is the ultimate form of nostalgia for me because I used to play with that keyboard for hours.

[WTstravaganze]

@Emilyheartsyou53 I grew up playing with that exact same toy keyboard. As soon as I heard this song, I flashed back to many hours spent tinkering around on that stupid, blue keyboard. <3

[borgirrocker]

HOLY FUCK!

[slvarj]

Holy fuck, this is f****** good!

[fiordocanadese]

sound of my love

[QAlexandar]

I don't care if i stole someone comment cuz in this moment i feel i can see only letters on my keyboard and scars on hands from tree of apple. This is what is first what i thought when i was 117 <<<<<, It's really sad today's music.

[callmebetty89]

@QAlexandar It's really sad, today's grammar.

[thompii904]

last night, 2 am at Metropolis in Montreal = HOLY FUCK

[rdc488]

[1ajw23]

Thumbs up if you remember that toy keyboard

[thatonekidyouknow]

[cyanatelolwut]

[MacFreaks]

[QAlexandar]

[ToListen]

This is what they looked like live.

[benrgardiner]

the name of the band seems a bit extreme once you hear the music

[BiekeVanmarcke]

Absolutely fabulous. Also love the visuals.

[BiekeVanmarcke]

Absolutely fabulous. Also love the visuals.

[nzwwefan]

AMAZING. Imagine if these guys and Moby got together. Or Animal Collective. : )

[angeesseule]

superb! 

[drugssexandliquor]

This song is absolutely one of the most brilliant songs I have ever heard in my 16 years of living

Dear Holy Fuck,

Thank you.

Love Christa.

[fiercepaul]

Is it hust me, or is this song very similar to The Who's - Teenage Wasteland ?

[miraculousjones]

@fiercepaul the intro most certainly follows the same tempo and melody but the rest of the song not so much imho

[bettyspinks]

@fiercepaul It's hust you.

[nzwwefan]

Post Wave

[derrynator]

@nzwwefan that is a great way to describe it. were you thinking of post rock-ish too?

[nzwwefan]

@derrynator Yeah, I guess you could call Holy Fuck Post Rock-ish. I like the term Post Wave though. : ) the needle drop invented the term.

[lxmenard]

They played in Sudbury last night, crazy wild show. You've gotta see these guys live. Holy fuck!

[nzwwefan]

Post Wave

[loveisforlosers123]

Smosh brought me here

[BistroMcSex]

I saw these guys live a while back, great show. I saw them out back after the show and I just said "HOLY FUCK" to them, and they smiled and waved.

[evantstowers]

Sounds very organic for how synthy it is. Pretty awesome. I like post rock, and I like electronic so this is a good convergence. I also like the emotion of the song, happiness.

[xMSdemonx]

HOLY FUCK This stuff is good.

[xXtommymusicmanXx]

I can't stop listening to this song. I get the same reaction from it every time that I listen to it. HOLY FUCK.

[Brakeman94]

these guys got together one day and said "lets have lunch" and so it was born.

[Blue7869]

i love how for most of this video, brian is flailing a butter knife around in the air...

[lolgurlyyy]

they really like their music :D

[iHadToSignUpForThisX]

I think if I had to name a track to my life, it'd be this one. Every time I listen to it, I find another hidden instrument, another lurking supporting melody, and another reason to listen to this song again.

[Lyckantropi]

Yeah! I've found one more amazing band!!! (like this)

[tam0cky]

when i hear this i think of the sims. lol

[j5xplayer]

Organized mess comes into mind but awsome work!

[emmibass]

awesome

[Zzanney]

Saw them this year at Pukkelpop... and in 2008 at Lowlands... They're so FUCKING AWESOME!

[FayeMidori]

Saw them @ Pukkelpop... just stumbled upon them by accident actually... But i'm SO FREAKIN glad I did :D All I could do was stare at them in amazement with my mouth wide open, nodding my head. It was awesome!

[philfee83]

who says songs need words to be such a great tune.. this is by far an exceptional track.. any mood, it`s always good to hear

[rastafury17]

best shit i've heard in a while.

[Lyckantropi]

@rastafury17 same here!!!

[GeePs27]

Seriously who would listen to this shit? It fucking sucks.

[ttinsly]

@GeePs27 you suck

[mullinizle13]

@GeePs27 dear douchebaggery master Gee... it's pretty clear you out douched yourself with that one. next time you have a thought, stop and realize that it's being produced by a retard

[rastafury17]

@GeePs27 everybody, he listens to mainstream pop shit.

[jakebonez]

I saw them on a rogers battle of the bands on t.v. thought they were the best but they lost, I found them by accident again on aux t.v. they are incredible

[evilfenix51]

Saw them last Friday. It kinda ruined this song for me actually, just so epic live that this doesn't even compare

[Keegalo]

Saw Holy Fuck last night at Capitol Hill Block Party. Holy Fuck, it was amazing. :)

[highonsound]

REALLY good riding music <3

[xXtommymusicmanXx]

Dunno bout anyone else, but this sums up my emotions at the present time...

[simon12332]

This is a really calming song to me. Idk why all the people in the vid are moving around so much haha.

[DeSmurfen125]

If I had a radia station this would you hear all day long! <'3

It never gets old! ;D

[JJJJJJJJohnMcCain]

Holy Fuck.

[DogThatRoars4Fire93]

@ASHxMCDxISxMINE

Would you say the same towards Liquid Tension Experiment? Wait, I doubt you've heard them with a comment like that.

[Username2046]

I have NO idea how I discovered this song a few years ago ... but I'm glad I did :)

[oneofthecrowd]

@Username2046 There used to be a chill out music station on SKY 395 and they used to play it on there, lots.

[djh74london]

you MUST hear this band live

[jokerrhe]

damn looked everywhere.. what is the name of that song they always play on "kenny vs spenny" ?.. it's more mellow than most of their posted songs here and can't seem to find it anywhere here.. anyone know?

[DiscoGabe]

@jokerrhe "They're Gonna Take My Thumbs"?

[jokerrhe]

@DiscoGabe damn so close but it's not the one i'm talking about.. the last 5 seconds sounds like an electronic beeper doo doo doo doo then a electronic gong noise.. but the tempo of your song is almost exact.. appreciate it i will keep looking

[themk23]

my head is literally fucking spinning!! holy fuck!

[borlo]

ROX MY SOX. again...

[thebeattrustee]

This is a lovely version of this song

[smile4yday]

Are these worth seeing live? They're at Reading Festival in August...

[borlo]

@smile4yday DEFINITELY...specially NOW

[shannonxcannon]

@smile4yday I would love to see them live. Yes, go!

[storytyme]

Saw them on Wednesday, they rock this song out hard live....

Love It!!!

[Kuramalove24]

so extreme lol

[condorlio07]

nobody here knows shit

[TheMrlizzierascall]

this is amazing.

L-O-V-E.

[vegadomis32988]

holly fuck this is good

[MisterMusic84]

This is awesome!!!

[jamieboyd11]

As a musician, and stage manager, i have to say that Holy F*ck are extremely gifted and talented musicians and song writers.

I was lucky enough to stage manage them at a festival 2 years ago and their stage show is incredible, structured experimentation. The band are extremely tight and everything fits together perfectly. In fact I was so impressed I'm going to see them again this Friday!

[Grensley]

Better than the album version.

[BlackVirusxz]

do any of their songs have vocals?

[DiscoGabe]

@BlackVirusxz Yes, but it is heavily experimented with to the point you can barely even recognize it and they turn it into beautiful sounds, just like everything else they do. :)

[megabrowser17]

I think they "borrowed" a melody from Pokemon Snap Rainbow Cloud......

[shinna03]

@megabrowser17

it sounds like a piano riff from Sigur Ros.

[BillSteer99]

This is the gayest shit I've ever heard in my life. Bunch of no talent jackasses repeating the same melody over and over. Plus, how can you call those other sounds they make with the electronics music? It's just a bunch of noises. They all dress like bums and look like retards rocking back and forth, like 2 year olds having fits. Fuck this shit.

[interpolluter29]

@BillSteer99 Last time someone told me that a piece of music was noise, she was a Destiny's Child fan and the artist that I played was Rise Against. Ever since then, to me, anyone who says something sounds like just noise to me must have lazy or sensitive ears.

[indieetc]

@BillSteer99 Don't know if you're blind, but I can blatently see a drum kit and a guitar, if drums and guitars are 'just a bunch of noises' please tell me what you listen to.

[BillSteer99]

@indieetc an instrumental is cool, the problem is that they're not using them to their full potential. I just don't get this awful shit. This is not music. It is a short melody that probably took them a whole 5 minutes to create, then they abused it and made it last for a whole god damn 4 minutes. And, the rocking back and forth, jumping down like retards... why? They lack musicianship and ability to write a good song. You seriously need to check out YYZ by Rush... you'll see what I mean.

[greghill131]

@BillSteer99 You're recommending Rush? Thanks, I needed a good reason to discount your opinion as completely worthless.

[indieetc]

@BillSteer99 sorry for the late reply. I don't listen to stuff like Rush, i don't even know if you can call them a band, more a group of uber talented people. Just because they're talented though dosent mean their good, in fact in my opinion they're shit. Holy Fuck may not be as talented, but they're definately better music to listen to than Rush, again just my opinion, but seeing as we're commenting on a video by Holy Fuck, I think others will agree.

[indieetc]

@BillSteer99 Try Holy Fuck - Latin America, you won't have to watch them rock back and forth so you can actually listen to the music. I'd just like to add I don't always listen to stuff like this but it's a good chiller and I was making the point that they are definately not a 'bunch of no talent jackasses'.

[IneptGnome]

@BillSteer99 Comparing Rush to these guys is useless. Holy Fuck has way more going on in this song than Rush does. So much so you don't need a vocalist, the music speaks for itself. As for jumping around during it. If someone having nothing to do with making the music can do that why shouldn't they be able to.

[DavidMann]

@deathpony01 Wow. Why don't you give us another sign of your lack of intelligence?

[jw2113]

@BillSteer99 ur a fucking twat rush is nothing like this why would that be an alternative to this its called simplicity not everyone wants to fuckin here neal peart wanking all night ya sure hes good thats just one very small type of music clearly you know nothing about art fortunately not everyone is as ignorant and close minded music can be fucking anything it wants to be and you facist fucks can stop trying to pretend music needs to fit certain parameters

[BillSteer99]

I can't believe this shit. This is all gayness to the extreme here folks.

[OkashaSH5]

So this was in a Ford commercial?

[Srceodizno2142]

This song is amazingly catchy.... .....Oh and by the way did you know that their is a Ford commercial that exsists and during the commercial it says "song by Holy ****" because they can't swear in their commercials. I thought that was a little funny.

[thatonetallchick]

i can't seem to find this song anywhere!!

does anybody know where i can get this online?

[nzwwefan]

Brilliant Electronics, very reminiscent of the electronics used on The album Whos next with songs like Wont get fooled again and Baba o' Reilly

[MrBenben4]

bassist looks like jonny greenwood lol

[jotottenham]

forum or against'em!

[Mrsbacktointro]

-Is it wild ?

-Yes, it is.

[slicksilver07]

math rock ftw !

[PHILxMIKExNICK]

i saw them at the wolf island music fest!!!! sickk party's

[skategary]

Thank you for doin something cool with this song

[vrstrt28]

Reminds me of Altered Images/ See those Eyes

[clivetemple]

Awesome. Penguin Cafe... The Next Generation.

[batcountry123]

not really lol but penguin cafe orchestra kicks ass... you get a half a point ... for effort

:)

[tajto]

i actually have one of the casio keyboards that has the loop this song is based on as a demo song. its originally called "lovely alien"

[MrTootingTony]

Catchiest song in the world. kudos!

[Darkstar1282]

amazing song

[DAZED404]

Yes i thought the same thing couldn't stand it!!!

[itsthatguywithtwotoe]

So music isn't good unless it has a lead singer?

You're really ignorant you know that.

[Caartman61]

@itsthatguywithtwotoe Mj south park - Come on yall thats just ignorant :D

[D4RKWO1F]

@itsthatguywithtwotoe um says you just because somebody isn't singing doesn't mean this is good!

[itsthatguywithtwotoe]

@D4RKWO1F

Yeah but, this IS good.

[D4RKWO1F]

@itsthatguywithtwotoe thats what I am getting at its good music cause its energy is good and they have a great style and if they had lyrics or a singer it might be different but it doesn't really mean its better!

[favecurly222]

@Lazio2009 do you know anything about this kind of music? most bands like this dont have singers. and the fact that you need singers to appreciate a good band means that you cant listen to good music either.

[TOdowntowner]

Saw them opening for Phoenix @ Sound Academy, Toronto, Canada. Awesome stuff =D

[nutsoperfect]

I LOVE this track! Brilliant stuff. All the way from Ireland!!!! Go on ye good thing, Holy Fuck!!!!

[Evtingperfect]

those guy are soo good live !

[Erpster]

Makes you realize why they're named what they're named eh?

[Evtingperfect]

haha yeah so much , i see them with block party that was crazy

[GookGrubProductions]

0:20 is when it starts Btw. just helping people out who are as impatiant as me. This song is my happiness, sadness and Love put into one song

[evb87]

i have to disagree.. it's pure happiness :)

[Paralysedmind]

Att: Uploader - what's with the terrible quality?

[bloatedlemonz]

DRUM FILL god yes

[fungu7]

I love this song!!

It's so cool!!! =D

It makes me remaber a TV announcement... Dodge Challenger and others =D

[ShineAqua]

... um, yeah, that main theme throughout the song, isn't that something used in like, every "hopeful outlook of my future" commercial?

[SamsungHeineken]

...and they should probably use guitars to, eh? Maybe get rid of those weird keyboard noises? In other words, no they shouldn't.

[koridatz]

who the fuck are you?

[SamsungHeineken]

Just someone who disagrees with you and bases assumptions about your musical taste on relatively little information. Thanks for asking!

[SamsungHeineken]

You *are* a hateful little person aren't you? Treating "homosexual" like it's some kind of curse word... for shame! I suppose I'll overlook your suggestion that typing somehow requires the use of my mouth, though. It seems not *everyone* on YouTube can be a paragon of intellect. Sigh...

[PirateBC]

whats the main sample in the song from?

[SamsungHeineken]

It's not a sample. The only sampling they do is of the noises they make while they're playing. The melody lines all start in those cheapo keyboards.

[SamsungHeineken]

...it might be part of a preset drum/song loop or the "demo" button on one of the keyboards. Sometimes they use those, though they usually mess with them pretty heavily.
