WTF? Where's the hook? No instrumental skills, no hooks, nothing profound, nothing amusing, where's the appeal? I guess the appeal must be watching the lead singer, that can only last so long. Long lasting greatness can't be built only on being cute.

i remember seeing this performance the first time and i'd never heard of the yeah yeah yeahs back then. i thought karen o looked like peter pan :D still think hah
hahahah but SHE IS SO GODDAMN FREAKING CUTE WHEN SHE SINGS THIS SONG. have you seen the music video. holy jesus. AHHH if there was a award for the cutest head in the world. then she would get it. SHE EVEN JUMPS CUTE.
karen has a great sense of style with a great delivery. Yeah yeah yeah she dont take her self seriously but takes the art form seriously i hope people look after her and she looks after herself.

Yeah Spooksie I'm with you on that. Saw them at The Forum and they were good. I have to admit though I don't like any bands adding musicians to replicate the sound, I'd rather they scale down.
I'm not the 1st to think Siouxsie Sioux has had an influence on Karen. I hear some of Siouxsie's singing style in Karen (they're both great singers). Both S and K write lyrics filled with imagery and mystery (YYY's are a bit over heavy on obscurity of meaning or mere word play though).
Siouxsie and Karen both became fashion icons too.And
K's blackhair/red lipstick look is reminiscent of S.
Siouxsie's still going strong at age 50!Still looks great too!
actually all you guys are wrong haha Ko Ko is karen friends cats name not karens cat the cat is very attached to karen and follows her around and karens like in love with ko ko and it wa a huge rumor that show your bones would be named ko ko beware just a rumor though! hahha karens just amazing!
Karen in a Suicide Girls interview said "Turn Into" is her own fave song off the album.
I see on her mic it says "KOKO" which obviously is her initials X 2, but is that also her nickname? Also, a few years back their producer joked to the press they were coming out with a concept album about Karen's cat, to be called "Coco Beware", that she has a cat named Coco (or Koko?). Hmm.By coincidence I too have a "Coco" cat!
Yeah, but the "Beware" as part of the name is from the wrestler. It doesnt have to relate to anything really. Thats up to us as manic fans to build up a mythology ;)
At a SY show in Vanc.,BC a few years back, Thurston talked about watching an IMAX movie at Science World ("Bears")that day "with my little friend Coco, my daughter".He told a little anecdote about getting into the theatre by a little trickery toward a naive employee.(Inspired by SY fans tricking their way into SY shows?). I think YYYs' guitar player is a SY protege.
She sings it so shit hear, shes not wasted enough. I saw them recently and she did not sound like that at all, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Maybe it just recorded badly.
