Eels - Flyswatter

[ThomasLimbrey]

That cop is in Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke, I swear.

[AbsentWithoutLeaving]

That is one creepy lookin' dude. Why creepy lookin' dudes always got to put themselves up close and personal in their music videos? WHY?????

[petehubs]

1:07 when cops gain a soul

[xgeneric99]

That's a baritone guitar, not a bass, right?

[drewsky684]

2:03 put a bird on it!

[AdderSIG]

@drewsky684 He likes - - *clap**clap* birds.

[browneees45]

what episode of eddsworld is this on

[YonDoll]

What film is this in? It's really starting to annoy me!

[SourGrey]

@YonDoll In the Jim Carry Movie, "Yes Man". Right after the 1 min after the baby shower scene. We see jim leave his ex's apartment, and head to an elevator that seems to sop working once inside. The music is cued here.

[TheCatBiscuit]

woo eddsworld!

[that1joshguy]

I heard this song on pandora but didn't like and it stayed in my head for DAYS - I finally heard it again after what seemed an eternity of looking!!!

[Kookoodrilloo]

This girl...she's BEAUTIFUL..

[MrMIMISEKU]

This song was on Yes Man. I had no idea it was the Eels! I love the Eels!

[TheStepfour]

icewater flyswater.......best rhyme ever!!!!

[fvdklns]

@TheStepfour DUDE ITS EYE SWATTER FLY SWATTER

[alaespsd]

i used to laugh at the policeman! XD

[SydFloyd1967]

I watched this video like... three times today and untill now I had never realised that there is a nun and that she is smoking hot... true story.

[nom1nator]

I want music box that plays that melody!

[t00117598]

does this song use samples? i swear i know that melody from somewhere else?

[Redrobottyler]

I think I understand. Partially. You kill the things that bother you, such as swatting a fly, regardless of the fact that it is already struggling to live. The mouse has a tough life, yet we consider it a pest. Next it shows is deviants, like the cop skipping through the forest or the nun. Not sure how that ties in. The song also refers to how you will be judged no matter what, even if you think nothing of the deeds you have done.

[Gee0F]

@Redrobottyler Are deviants not the same as pests to most people?

Guess who's the worlds going to swat down next

[IAmADreamer93]

@Redrobottyler i think the song is about how we misjudge everything and everyone based on what we see... how the fly and mouse annoys us but thet are actually struggling for their lives. and the cop and the nun who aren't actually the way they seem on the outside. yeah, tou know what I mean. you can refrase it all you want. peace, out :)

[IAmADreamer93]

@IAmADreamer93 didn't mean to sound sarcastic, sry.

[Lorcar12]

@Redrobottyler deep shit, bro, deep shit...

[Redrobottyler]

The nun looks like the glee chick.

[RoselliMarco]

from what movie this is from?

[fvdklns]

@RoselliMarco DUDE! this is a song -_-

[RoselliMarco]

@fvdklns if you put a song in movie, that song becomes part of the soundtrack. This song was in a movie... what movie?

[WildMorgan]

Is it just me or does Mark Oliver Everett slightly resemble McLovin from Superbad?

Cool tune!

[ApparitionOfficial]

that nun is HOT

[pinkfloydbeatles]

Greatest song EVER!! I've been searching it for four years until THIS MOMENT.

T_H_A_N_K_S

(Yeah, i'm speechless) XD

[Silentgamr]

great song it's a pitty that there are 4 idiots who hated it (tone death gits)

[deathbyturtle4every1]

Survelance Clown? What kind of mixed-up goverment does that?

[bobdull420]

@deathbyturtle4every1

Ours

[QfireE]

what happend to his beard?

[musicalviolist51]

A nun and a ginger in the same video? What....?

[kimonui]

malibu! Good restaurant that place.

[marsumax]

Awesome song, love the chorus!

[TigerLikesTail]

Any song that rocks a toy piano & makes you bob your head to it

Says only one thing.

There's a madd genius in the lab lol..

[SuperNickVideos]

i can just imagine them trying to pitch the video to a director and a music exec!

[StevenHanftFlims]

@SuperNickVideos no pitch i asked E what if the song was about Satan. He said yes it was his fear of satan I wrote the video in 1o minutes and we shot it in one day.

[LongRangeBullet]

tune e string down to drop d, then play 0-7-5-3 and during verses it's 0-7-3-5. Or maybe the other way around.

[meganadams89]

Is this song in Dorian Mode?

[MrBuffini]

Ha Ha, I love E's face at 2:22. its basically everybody else's reaction to the video too XD

[LongRangeBullet]

Never mind, best song ever.

[LongRangeBullet]

dude...........wat

[ONofaceNicole]

Was that Amy Pond at the beggining? XD

[Kanad73]

I love this music!!<3

[idontknow810]

I play this song when I clean my house.

[puffcock]

this is a pretty damn good song, I literally first heard of it in a science-comedy 'concert' thing in the appollo

[faniasparkles]

this song scares me a little.

[davidtheguitarman]

i think this video has some hidden meanings

[RacerXGTO]

Red ruby necklace, red = Death. The clock shows 8:23, Then "Channel 2 and 3" = Caesar was stabbed 23 times = surfer girls death. Psycho dude with the vile(knife) is the killer. Cop = cops are too stupid to figure out what's going on

Blue Jay, Blue clown shoes = The storyteller

This video is fucked up!

[fishyfrost]

Zomg is that Tarantino!

[ThePoe537]

whats up with the guy that had a testtube full of what i think is blood?

[StereotypicalGeek129]

Possibly the most evil pop song of all time?

[jamesypooable]

@StereotypicalGeek129 you did not just call this song 'pop'! how dare you... -.-



[StereotypicalGeek129]

@jamesypooable Stop being such a music snob. Nothing wrong with a piece of music being considered pop.

[jamesypooable]

@StereotypicalGeek129 haha. there is nothing wrong with calling a pice of music 'pop', but it isn't really a pop song... a pop song is to be considered stuff like rihanna, the wanted, busted etc. But in my personal opinion, i think that this song shouldn't be branded pop... that's all

[StereotypicalGeek129]

@jamesypooable No what you're thinking of is bad pop. What about the likes of The Cure, some Gorillaz, early Blur and They Might Be Giants?

[Felamine]

The beginning part of this song reminds me of a lot of the tracks from the soundtrack of the movie Coraline, especially "Mechanical Lullaby".

[hejmine]

Fuck off VEVO

[EikeiOsaka]

LUV. <3

[kelsopwnsnoob]

Sounds like a horror-film icecream truck.

[Seldomseenkid21]

what kind of bass is that?



[SenhorBundy]

This song reminds me of Sid from Toy Story lol

[DrummerRyan97]

loool look at 3:02 he almost drops his guitar ....

[Staffhiya]

Oxegen 2011.

[PowerPuffCandy]

@Rumpio

[hairyharry91]

@Rumpio Yes its 10 years old and i still feckin love all Eels music! This coming from someone whos been listening to them since they were 9 years old and is now 20 :L

[CXVIII]

This has to be the most random clip I've ever seen...

Love it though

[movoning]

Ironically, E's music makes me happy...even though I feel like he should be those really sad people in the world.

E is an amazing person.

[Eliojalata]

Instead of a thumb up there should be something like I LOVE IT!

[sarana2012]

voz perfeita <3

[Ruijor]

10 years later I still don´t understand this video. On the other hand it´s Eels so what´s there to understand right? I love it nonetheless...

[beastman5566]

@Ruijor

Open you're mind young padawan

[bobdull420]

@Ruijor

It's about the war on drugs.

Every line can be translated to it and the clown in the police van is a perfect image for making fun of the war on drugs. The surfing represents the use of drugs.

[Peter12689]

Brilliant!!!!

[sisely123]

At 2:22 his expression is awesome.

[hannahkoenig]

@sisely123 holy crap i messed it up! SIsly123 is my frien acoount she was just over and so this is my account. IIII meant to say @ 2:22 his expression is awesome. not on her account. sorry if this confuses u guys

[ThePieIsLie]

I hate clowns...

[LevysaurusRex]

@ThePieIsLie i like birds

[koutsompiskoto]

[Roy5050]

@ThePieIsLie fuck you, thats just 1 of the weird clownz.. wikid clownz 4 life, mutha facko. lol

[galatasarayfan67]

Nice song, but the meaning, Cop chasing bubbles, a nun turning into a women in a bikini, a guy bleeding on the head comes out from the beach, random 2 dudes fighting... a girl picking shells... So...so...so random, yet so fasinating.

[wtfEPILOGUE]

[diomedes1066]

I love the cop for some reason, awesome band!

[lukeavalos]

Excellent song, took me some tries to get that scale down.

[marmadukeduke1]

I love that tune at the beginning!!! Its sort of a creepy nursery rhyme! I LOVE IT!!

[ceazu]

@emikyinuyashassis i know isn't it awesome

[kalemarefrite]

@emikyinuyashassis you should check teh version of eels with strings, best version i've heard

[lobotreas]

His voice in this song=Beck

[jacksparrowloveme]

I heard this on Movie Network for the ad for the new season of showtimes's nurse jackie and united states of tara. Me and my friends fell absooutely in LOVEEEEEE with the song, and finally found it..

[Suture187]

That's where I heard it too jack.

[Suture187]

That is where I heard this song too, Jack. It gave the ad a very familiar or nostalgic feel even though never hearing the song or seeing the show before.

[immee123]

holy shit saaaammeee!

[emikyinuyashassis]

@jacksparrowloveme Same here!

[Mistoballin]

Ditto.

[hustleandsnow]

This guy reminds me of Quintin terrentino from Dusk till Dawn

[grossed83]

don't know about anyone else, but this song always reminds me of kicking a bad dope habit. "Don't think twice 'bout whatever keeps you itchin'...Ice water, flyswatter, gonna get you through......the day."

"and if you don't think you'll walk on coals......you will."

[gianfran0]

hey, they used this tune in the background in grey's or desperate housewives isnt it? so familiar
