  • yeah, i also view it because of the hurricane festival =D

  • haha at the people in the background.

  • :D!!!!

  • ILY sxc beast

  • I want to go to Aussie!

  • I love em' but whats with the song titles named after capital cities - Sydney Song, London bombs, New York...

  • um, neither Sydney nor NY is a national capitol - the capitol of Australia is Canberra, and the capital of the US is Washington DC. Aside from that, maybe the band was inspired by the various cities in some respect.

  • Didn't say national dufus. Sydney is the capital of NSW, New York well of New York state. I love Esky too. Great Perth band but yeah especially with the two earlier song titles its sounds like a bit of a cash in. Especially London Bombs. New York song, that could of been any city.

  • The capitol of New York State is Albany; NYC is just the largest city. I was thinking that it was more the unique energy of these cities that inspired the songs than the preeminence of these cities. dufus? I don't even know what to say to that..."people still use that word?" is the first that springs to mind...

  • Why do you spell capital with an 'o'?

  • Because we're special.

  • Your a proper twat hermithead, you were wrong in your comments! so why try and dispute the fact, your only making your self look even more of a twat by doing so.

  • So I concede that Albany is the capital of New York state. Thank you for the information I will never forget that now.

    But the comment I was really trying to make was that I think the Eskies have cashed in by using major capital cities as song titles. Yes maybe these major cities have inspired them but they also talk a lot about how inspirational Freo is to them more than any other place and I'm not aware of any songs titled Freo or Fremantle (popular at that).

  • I come from Denmark, and I simply love them!

  • hahahah @ scottp8976.

    at least he likes the song ?

  • Omg what happened to this band?

    I want to hear more music from them :(

  • DUDe!!! they are on tour and in london tonight after they just finished their latest album like last week..... will be out next year!!! woot woot

  • an awesome song for an awesome city, i miss New York, I hope to see you soon!

  • Eskimo Joe is fucking nice! I am brazilian, but was living ins Australia (there's no better place to be!!!) till a few months ago, and moved to NY 2 months ago.

    And this song ir perfect for me!

  • U moved to NY, hows NY im in Australia too and im interested into movin to America, whats america like cause all my firends say it's really dangerous there and that Au is the best. (betoleal)

  • It doesn't get any better than Australia.

  • great song, one of my favorite. sometimes australian bands shows something beter americans....

  • watch my free slide freebording video its got new york as the background music. i think eskimo joe are from perth that right? any way its a killer song!

THEN *&^% YOU ALLS!GO ESKIMO JOE!#1 BAND EVAH!Stuff all the other crappy american bands sicne NIN is the only band(or solo band with mercenaries if u wanna say) WITH FUCKING TASTE!Whew, i feel relieved, anyone for a beer?helllloooooooooooo, anyone?

  • That was the worst troll in history......

  • its funny as they have been around for like 12 years but its only in the last year or so that Im really loving it...why arent they ' massive '

  • Well, they are probably big in Australia and not the us.

    I was never in the city of New York, but a friend of mine knew this city. About it, he talked to me about culture and people and sadness and sensations... THE NEW YORK what I imagine is dark, sad and lonely. As to New York I always heard the music NYC from Band Interpol, but now, I´ll listen to the Eskimo Joe, only to see New York of way different from what I never see... But, could the one who knows one day see?

I´ve always heard NYC from Interpol Band, but naow, I´ll listen the Eskimo Joe, just to see a Diferent New York that I never see... who knows, one day?

  • he isnt wearing heaps of tshirts its computerised. U can tell coz he moves the same each time he puts a shirt on.

  • Yer I know! But it just is funny coz if you were looking it at it and you weren't knowing about it being computerized it would defientley look like his putting on tons of shirts! Guh!

  • lol ok, just telling u just incase u were being serious! :P

  • Nah I'm not quite that stupid LOL!

  • lol :P

  • I've got to say that I hate that white vest!

  • yer its destracting

  • It should never have seen the light of day, it's even worse than some David Lee Roth outfits!

  • ha :P

  • What are you guys on about?? The shirts are not computerised, he is wearing several shirts and gradually takes them off, but the video is played backwards. Daaaahhhh!

  • wonderful aussie band, they are from western australia which i didnt know until i checked on wikpedia.

  • great song, not a really good video but I still love'em

  • this CLEARLY THE BEST SONG FROM and australian band

  • such a good aussie band with gr8 music

  • I love em. E>

  • if you think eskimo joe's videos are so terrible, why do you keep watching them? they're just quirky... and quirky is good.

  • did anyone see them in new york?.... it sux, i just found out there were here when they spoke to a news crew about heath ledger passing away.

  • You live in new york?

  • Love the song, but that's one of the crappiest music videos I've ever seen.

  • Yes...Most of us all love this song.

    then we have the ones that hate it =\

    So if u hate it, why listen to it? ;\

  • um, how can you know whether you love it or hate it if you don't listen to it first?

  • It's kinda weird song, eskimo joe are no stranger to sad songs, but this song based in new york obviously isn't trying to put a smile on peoples face. It's about a bad experience he had in new york :|

  • who cares if the song was sad... the band has grown up so much and it's just a great piece of music. terriffic song and great execution.

  • yeah its a sweet song man love it =D

  • yo love this song!

  • great Aussie band! i couldn't get that song on the web in my country, though.
