The New Pornographers - Mutiny, I Promise You

[MicFlawless]

I just wish they'd let that man fuckin shave.

[StrOcc]

Ha, Kristen Schaal!

[MrNovemberism]

1:15... that's some freaky stuff

[lovelettertoontario]

I love this song, but I really clicked on this for the sole reason of Mel..

[gatsbyfaulkner]

This is what I love about Indie music :)

[turkeyfries123]

that bear is an asshole lol

[shatchett0]

This is what happens when people take themselves too seriously. 

[BubbaMugz]

Obviously the budget was a little cheap for the instruments this time around.

[rayvenfear]

Love it!

[philmoskowitz]

Essentially the theme song for OWS.

[bringingonbreakdown]

Never noticed the up and down rubbing of the Unicorn's horn! Suggestive! This would be an even better video if the Cure hadn't done it first.

[rcdowdy]

@bringingonbreakdown Who are the Cure?

[dtuba]

who cares, it's a fvcking awesome song, end of story

[jablair51]

Wut?

[Maggelzatyt]

da fuck?

[anemone9]

That was an ungrateful bear.

[freakedoutnsmall]

The bear dies? That's kinda sad.

[STOPtheHORROR]

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEL

[AndrewLGP]

I love the cardboard theremin. I didn't even notice that it was written on it, but I knew it was a theremin.

[Raysyedrocks]

lol @1:17

[FringeFreak56]

Those horses have some sick dance moves.

[DrunkLikeChinaski]

You can always trust Unicorns.

[CreepyBen]

@DrunkLikeChinaski tell charlie that

[bigbeatshuffletruffl]

How could 10 people not like The New Pornographers AND Kristen Schaal? Kurt's face-pulling alone is worth the live show.

[snmaster]

To the horses i say: WHY THE LONG FACE???

[buddhafig]

Uhh... is it me or is the unicorn being raped via hordn and being "partied" behind

[ammonsjw]

the cardboard theremin is the best thing ever!

[ksymarat]

@ammonsjw

the best part is that it actually has "theremin" written on it...ahaha

[AproposOfMe]

hmmm that man is holding a green lantern

[AproposOfMe]

I will never promise a French bear mutiny.

[BrokenMyFinger]

Mel you wild animal! 

[variationsthereof]

IS THAT THE CHICK FROM FLIT OF THE CONCHordS?!???

[velvetpilot2008]

Such a great video and a great song. I love the New Pornographers!!!

[MrSteveverv]

LOL I like it .good music fun video.

[saladcommander]

Great song. Not sure about the video. It's okay.

[25ostrich]

the girl kinda looks like sarah schneider from collegehumor

[Oldshirt]

03:14 ... Stabbing Lesson!

[forestbansh]

Wow, that unicron is full of magic

[hippojuice23]

Fantastically dorky!

[ajelliot1]

WOW that was the worst music video eve! BUT I LOVE IT! :D

[PatchesDaHamstr]

1:15 LOL.

[bananarama10101]

I'm pretty sure this video needs a "literal version"



[msbean911]

As in every other story the unicorn saves the day... get some original material guys

[daltoni7]

Arizona license plate!

[lisozeme]

THE FURRIES. OH GOD.

But, you know, awesome song.

[smoke108]

Love the cardboard theremin

[RodCow]

@smoke108 Yep,that cardboard Theremin was genius.

[yoadrian2747]

you shouldn't stroke a unicorns horn like that 1:16

[realfreakaynaughtay]

1:15 Secretariat dance performed by a horse... Crazy.

[aballaynicolas]

jeje esta leyendo borges el chabon

[pixmale]

jajajajajajajajajajaj esta con madre le video

[MummerPop]

Kristen Schaal is a horse...

Kristen Schaal is a horse...

Well, look at her go an'a look at her go....

[LexiLOLson]

this video makes no sense but I love the guy that continues to shave through out the video lol

[hb15577]

i dont get theis video at all

[StephersisI]

I feel like my entire life makes sense now!!!!!

[akgluvsu]

interesting

[lioman5]

At 2:45 you see the mentality used for this video- HAVE A FUCKING AWESOME TIME

[falgiano]

i hung out with kristen schaal once and she was really nice. and i like this video. and the song too. and the homicidal bear.

[brokenbones199]

i wish i found out this band sooner, would have saved me a lot fof time listening to the "top ten charts"

[ajelliot1]

1:15 LOL

[LaddersIntoLeitrim]

For everyones information, this video has two purposes. It is part 4 in the online miniseries Princess of Pets starring Kristen Schaal(flight of the conchords) and Kurt Braunohler. It is also the official music video for this song. The video makes a little more sense if you watched the others, but not much. Actually it still makes no sense. If you liked this one then for sure watch the rest. Just search princess of pets pt 1 and see em all. In order of course.

[christytina81]

Best band ever....

[sugararual]

HEY! its the girl from the flight of the concords' show,.

[monsterdrink99]

@sugararual It is! Oh my God she's hilarious. :D

[nationalhipster]

Is that kristan schall in the green beanie?

[KyrgyzstanYgnacio]

This is most adorable thing ever.

Extra points for having a cardboard theremin & bassoon.

And for Neko giving knifing lessons.

[Philly2002]

lol, the dance at 1:13 is epic. 

[maha77]

is this music meant to put you to sleep or vomit? cause i just did a little of both

[101Volts]

@maha77 That's rather odd considering you seem to like slow, relaxing music. Its not like I don't like that type of music, I do like it but considering your favorites its strange. Anyway, This music, to me, is pop that makes me feel better. And by the way, The New Pornographers do change their style from album to album. Perhaps you'll like their song "Go Places" More than this one if you give it a listen?

[nuitaile]

What I love the most of this viddy is that they are reading Borges... cool!

[DiWaBrothers]

hey, the girl with the green beanie also is in the flight of the conchords series!

[SuperParker94]

Blaine and Kurt with the green light and the camera at 0:30 just made my day! This video is awesome!

[xSenshii]

The video is......wtf? In a good way.

[ShabeShabeShabe]

I am buying a white unicorn outfit: That much is settled.

[bludgeonbunny]

Nothin' special.

[biggleyboo]

1:17 ....... fucking priceless....

[shatchett0]

This is terrible. They tried too hard. Famous last words.

[29mchugh]

My sympathies are largely with the bear.

[yooMadre8me]

hahahahaha@ Kurt

[miguelitof]

OMG that video is AWESOME!!! and of couse there in Neko'

[b0rn2BFail]

omg I've just watched this like 10 times in a row it's epic

[KlydeShal]

This video scores up there with Coheed and Cambria's 'Feathers' video on WHAT THE FUCK-ness

[SummerAndRain]

kristen schaal i love you

(and you too new pornographers. very much so)

[skyward360]

unicorn sex.

[101Volts]

Wow, A song by Fleet Foxes is in the related videos section. That really surprised me, I didn't think anyone would connect Fleet Foxes with The New Pornographers, Fleet Foxes are also a very vocal band but they're like a folk band. Their songs are a lot slower than The New Pornographers' songs.

[themoundie]

JORGE LOUIS BORGES

[Dantakesthesquare]

HAHAHAHA. that video was thoroughly enjoyable. The addition of Mel also didn't hurt.

[winrarisyou]

1:16 Easily the best part of any music video I've ever seen.

[Esieron45]

lol @ neko♥♥

[finchen333]

omg hah that´s a incredible video : D

[kowalityjesus]

is there a hidden message in tokyo killing paris? is this video at all symbolic or is it just random?

[AeinSilverwolf]

If one were to take all of the feel-good things in the world, put them into a giant pot, and make a cake, this video would be that cake.

[TJWriter90]

Well, that was odd.

[101Volts]

I know of something stranger, Wanna see it? "Rot In The Sun" by The Presidents.

[101Volts]

I really wish they'd go to New York City on their tour. I really doubt I'll be able to go see them in Washington, That's like 3,000 miles away.

[LTandDS]

Is the chick in the box with the green hat also the obsessed fan in Flight of the Conchords???

[thusano2]

yep. pretty random.

[eyeojo]

@LTandDS yes - mel

[CarolinaOcelot]

Kristen Schaal and Neko Case in the same video, how friggin awesome is that?

[youthuprising101]

1:15 totally awesome! XP

[joe44850]

Funny video, but somehow a little distracting. This is one of the finest songs written in the last 10 years, and it almost seems like an accessory to some weird David Lynch thing.

[foof76]

OMG! Kristen! It's Penelope, Princess of Pets! I love her.

[fourmisss]

MEL!!!!!!!!!!!

[aaronaverill]

@fourmisss its mel. it sure is. got it.

[MrPozzoz]

@fourmisss yeah , where is Doug ????

[turboraton]

He is reading Borges... SWEET! He is one of my favorite writers, go TNP!

[Shwagirl]

I love their videos, they have so much energy and... amazingness.

[m0d01]

should of gotten michel gondry to make this video work. doesn't quite cut it.

[ryobe2k6]

thats totally the girl that plays mel in flight of the conchords

[Milton005]

That's Kurt Dahle getting the eaten by the dino.

[MagicTurtle643]

Hahahah wth. Hilarious.

[ConstantineHuman]

Seeing Dan Bejar get eaten by the dinosaur and Neko Case teach Kristen Schaal how to knife fight both never fail to bring a smile to my face. This is a jubilant video.

[kamyroon]

!!

I saw a cardboard bassoon....

[popham05]

is that brendan canning playing the bass? or does that guy just look alot like him?

[CoffinAngel]

poor bear......thing

[AgentMull]

I disagree. Their videos are great.

[Firejack95]

Could you please explain the video of the song "Sing me Spanish techno"?

[RosettaStoned44]

Equestrian Orgy!!

[goldrushfreak]

for caitlin

[noddy093]

Do you know Borges?

[villanito17]

El libro de BORGES!!! QUE GRANDEEEE

[noddy093]

did anyone get that carl is reading a borges book at the beginning? it's why there is pop and intelligent pop music.

[overthatfence]

...dear god

[eclectic2chicks]

So If Joe Jonas decided to sport a volume of Keats in a music video, would we call the Jonas Brothers intelligent pop?

[isabelarch]

Love the song. The video is silly, and not entirely in a good way.

[thatpunkfromDC]

i think my favorite member is the drummer...

just because of that comical look on his face at 3:04 then again at 3:31 when he is getting eaten lol

[noddy093]

he and neko are generally drunk off their asses during shows. brilliant, but wasted.

[VinceMaster101]

No way its Mel!

i love this song

[dyane2009nitro]

REALLY GOOOD!!

[andrebreton4]

um....that is spectacular!

[bdon19]

i like the video, it looks like they had a lot of fun making it. which is really what counts.

[rasmusgirlfree]

if you like listen the sunshine underground

[101Volts]

I just read about the discography for all of the band members' other bands. Yes, every one of the members except for Blaine have their own bands and solo careers. When you put them all together, They have over forty albums and I wasn't even able to look up all of the bands!

[Havenscope]

Great song, horrid video.

[franchisepeat]

I kinda like the video...

[angryvikingstudios]

starting at 0:46, is that the actress from Flight of the Conchords? or am I crazy...

[gyruss73]

you got it.

[funwithmr1plopper1]

YOUR RIGHT!!!!!! :D

[Creepyitseems]

All of my friends think this video is gay. Its freakin rocks.

[101Volts]

If they won't appreciate it for the masterpiece it is show them something that they may consider even weirder... "Rot In The Sun" by The Presidents of the United States of America.

[101Volts]

Just search for "Rot In The Sun" And it'll be the first video to pop up. Heh heh.

[CottenMouth02]

good canadian band

[MrPeterman564]

haha that was awesome

[OrangeUmbrellaa]

Ah ha,

They are just a LAUGH!

Love the new pornographers!!!

[nanotubesmcjordan]

This is my third favorite song of all time. The video is also really good. I love the dinosaur eating gold fish at 3:55.

[ms512]

that's a real Ringo Starr moment at 3:37. Oh the classics never die...

[blaha2688]

is that kristen schaal from flight of the conchords in the video?

[fasteddyuk]

yes. it's based on a pilot she did about two detectives turned into cardboard.

[ianrast]

]It's the fourth episode of her online series 'Penelope, Princess of Pets'. There all up at Superdeluxe, I think.

[AlmostJakeRahme]

yay for unicorns knifing bears =D great band sad I missed them in Ottawa last year

[tangar85]

hey the chick that comes out of the box in the green at 0:45 is from flight of the concords hbo series

[bowlskaterkris]

this band's great. im pretty much into punk rock, but i dunno for some reason i like new pornographers.

[phonkey]

Phew... for a moment there I thought you were saying this is punk rock. ...well then, carry on I guess.

[bowlskaterkris]

haha oh no way. i just try to stay a bit open minded and listen to things other than punk every once in a while. like i've been real into rockabilly too lately.

[JerrBear81]

Awesome! Awsomesauce!

[cheruboo]

AWE

SOME

[blatspanner]

so canadian. i have a.c. newman's teeth.  and his ginger pubes.

[101Volts]

Funny video. If only more bands took themselves as anti serious as this, that would be great. I like that in a band. 3:26 and 3:38 made me laugh.

[benjiwinner]

Great video! buut... 1:16.... LOL! Random!

and i love the facial expression at 1:32 hahah

[cheruboo]

Hahahaha this is such a random video

[resaf]

dear girl with green toque,

You sooo hot!!!

[bettiepagestyle]

Support the right to arm bears!

[rigidcast]

too freaking cute. i love the part where neko is showing kristen how to stab something.

[pylonsz]

Believe it or not, this is my 1 1/2 year old's favorite song right now.... what can I say, the kid's got great taste.

[anderoomcleod]

Yes...Kristen Schaal. Because the Pornographers are good friends with Eugene Mirman who works with her on Flight of the Conchords. Yay for networking.

[Nieghorn]

Probably the weirdest video I've ever seen - but I love it! (More videos like this, and less boring, self-agrandising fluff.)

[Albeleo]

Ha! Kristen Schaal is in this video!  Awesome. Great song too.

[emmygirl222]

wtf?

[Clamanity]

UNICORN VS BEAR = MOST EPIC SHOWDOWN EVER.

I love this video.

[Ottawatian]

Oh my God. This is the best bloody video ever made. I mean... damn!

[JazzSpazzMimi]

love this song
