To tell you the truth. I think Dashboard is a song that would be better covered than Float on. Float on is just too Modest Mouse to be covered, but I think Modest Mouse's earlier albums were the best because some songs on their newer albums just suck while the ones they want to be good, sound good.
"I do what I do, and I do it with some style. It works. But the type of singing that they tend to do on `American Idol’ is what I call `sodeling’—the combination of soul and yodeling. The thought that someone would be crooning away and sodeling on one of our songs seemed hilarious to me." -Isaac Brock

The thing I like about this video is how its director completely distorted the meaning of this song. Rather than it showing the true meaning of this song (although you will go through many hardships during your life you will still "float on" and be ok with it). The idiot who made this shows the gods (idols) of today "floating on" in a ford mustang.
That's actually disturbing and upsetting. It genuinely almost makes me lose faith in humanity, or at least music. Normally when I feel this bad, I listen to 'Float On'. How ironic. Fortunately I can still slide The Moon and Antarctica, the universal cure for life's problems, into the CD player. Hopefully that will cure me.
These people have no regard for Modest Mouse and what they stand for. They're the ones who like all their pretty songs, and they like to sing along, and they like to shoot their guns. But they know not what it means, no they know not what it means when they say "Yeah."
NOOOOOOOOOOOONONONOONOOOOOOOOOO GOD FUCKING DAMMIT NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i am crying. goddammit, my fav band years ago being ruined.
Or at least people who understand the song instead of just thinking it's pretty, gussying it up in the human condition that Modest Mouse worries about.
holy shit. I mean seriously what the fuck man, this is totally and utterly ridiculously horrible. I feel like taking a dremel to my ears on full speed.
@Maverac Considering Isaac Brock must have signed off giving Ford approval to use his song, and considering he probably got paid a tidy sum for doing so, he's evidently not too bothered.
What the fuck? you fuckers didn't even sing it right. Fuck! what the hell. no shit this fucking sucks... the only good part about this is the lyrics and well, Fuck you assholes for making it sound shitty.
this is hilarious! brock only let idol have this song because he "has a sense of humor" clearly this is what he was imagining. no one can sing like isaac, especially "good" singers. this is pure lolhood
uh! this is a perfect example of why modest mouse shouldn't go mainstream, they make one song that-could-be-argued-to-be-mainstream-by-a-tonedeaf-lobotomized-10-year-old and people bend it over a barrel and fuck it up the ass until it is a lifeless, bloody pulp.
Fuck me that was the worst Ford commercial ever, Fuck American Idol for helping to further culturally retard america, but at least they didn't cover one of Modest Mouse's Indie songs, I'm gonna puke
"I'm not a singer, per se," he explains. "I do what I do, and I do it with some style. It works. But the type of singing that they tend to do on `American Idol' is what I call `sodeling'—the combination of soul and yodeling. The thought that someone would be crooning away and sodeling on one of our songs seemed hilarious to me."
Isaac permitted this demonstration of faggotry strictly for the lulz. Said so himself in a not so recent interview. I'll post the quote when I find it.
This just makes me sad, I could care less about Modest Mouse letting others use their music, they are my favorite band and I still love them and its a good way to promote their music which defenitly more people need to hear, but these fucking pop, i'm gonna try to fit into the mainstream band sound, american idol shitheads, took one of the best and most meaningful modest mouse songs and fucking desecrated it. This cover sucks ass.... period.
"Figuring out ways to pay the rent isn't really a tough decision. Around the time we did the beer commercial and the shoe commercial, I thought, 'Am I compromising my music by doing this?' And I think not. I like keeping the lights on in my house. People who don't have to make their living playing music can bitch about my principles while they spend their parents' money or wash dishes for some asshole..."
"...Principles are something that people are a lot better at checking in other people than keeping their own. My rationale behind the beer commercial was, 'I like drinking MGD! I like beer probably more than I should, probably more than is healthy.' I was hoping I could get a lifetime supply out of the deal, but I guess I'll have to buy it with that big ol' check. [Laughs.]"
In the beginning who is the other person that isn't Chris and Sangaya? It's bugging me that i can't figure out who it is. I'll probly feel stupid when i find out.
this really works!!!! --------- 1. To yourself, say the name of the only guy or girl you wanna be with 3 times ------ 2. Think of something you wanna accomplish within the next week and say it to your self 6 times ------------------- 3. If you had 1 wish what would it be? say it to yourself 9 times!!! --------- 4. Think of something that you want to happen ----------- send it to at least 15 videos and your dream will come true<!
