Modern Way - Kaiser Chiefs

[ChestaGY]

i saw it as, in the begginning, you see all the different people on the streets showing off their 'talents' trying to become well-known so to speak. and as the lyrics say its the only way of getting out of here, the dudes in the vid r tryin to get out of what ever place their in and using those wierd talents is the only way, probz wrong like but yea

[skanskar]

i thought this video was about capatilism then could not work out what the tennis ball symbolises then i thought oh its about talented people being seduced by fame and forgetting there art and the tennis ball actually symbolises capatalisim and our facination with fame.

[ellerysmith89]

I couldn't work out what the tennis ball meant either, but then I realised that the way the fabric is woven into a spherical ball symbolises how we are all interlinked to form the earth as we know it. The fact that it is perched so precariously upon that man's head (as a result of much practice) symbolisises how our very lives are so dependant on the stress and toil of the minorities in our society.

Wow, making up bullshit meanings about a music video is easier than I thought.

[Charllag]

[torominivan]

so easy a caveman can do it

[shottytourbody]

this is my favorite song of the kaiser chiefs

[ClouDLiveZ]

"the ball thing" is an example of how someone can rap on a cd and make a billion dollars while the guy that drags his ass up under your squirl killing vehicle to change your oil has 5 morgages

[CAW4WAC]

the difference between 'the ball thing' and rap is that it's way easier to rap than to balance a tennis ball

[astonhill24]

2:12

[digitalaxenator]

maybe not the no.1 song in the album but certainly the best video..:)

[debiion]

2:52 great :)

[DeathSkull535]

'This is modern way fake you everyday.'Because of this word,I like this song.

[JoseCastiblanco]

Great song!! Es para q nos demos cuenta de lo q podemos hacer si nos proponemos algo!!! Buen mensaje =)

[metalhe4d83]

its amazing what a small thing can do to society...

[hamtamnam]

this is so, so random

[frnakiehoo123]

LMao?? how is it random? u must be retarded!, the tennis ball is just a symbol. It shows how you have to like just stay at something and keep doing it. Even if people are laughing at how stupid it is. Im pretty sure they're just singing about how they became a band. How at the very beggining ppl were laughing at them, now they're like awesome.

[SisiAyu]

wow, i like your comment.

yes, we can interpreted the song in that perspective.

[thebeginner15]

yeah,that was like me. and frnakiehoo123 is right. before, everyone thought on them like another garage band. Now,they are one of the best bands(and the best band of the rock rio lisboa 2008).

[SisiAyu]

yup!

I Predict a Riot and Modern Way only fit with Ricky's voice! HAHAHA! "No, thanks!" for any covers.

[AJslippery]

the repeating 4 bar guitar with resonance is NOT even original... they sampled this EXACTLY from another song. i cant recall which song it is... but if i remembe ri'll post it here

[dreamsjoint]

It's not sampled you moron.

[diabolodomi]

i met him himself^^

i want to knwo who he is

[wally4taiwan]

i lost that fucking tennis ball in rounday park

[diabolodomi]

[MeltingIceylava]

great song!

[djqqqq]

magnifique

[babjjb]

This video is really sad, I think..Don't really know why, though..

[joiskyhigh]

Yeah, I know. Can't figure out why either. Maybe because it gives you the feeling that the attention is temporary? That everyone will soon get over the 'tennis-ball craze' and then forget all about the bloke? Odd decision to leave it so open-ended.

[NextGenXBL]

i cant understand why but i also find it sad.

[twilightlover21]

-sees Ricky-

o.o

-faints-

[darle]

Class tune, Brill band. I dont get it why do ppl listen to their music if they dnt like them lol. Their jus totall idiots haha

[Stefantjuh112]

i never took many interest in Kaiser Chiefs, till i heard other songs besides ruby (with is average in my opinion). I love them, and i love this song!

[babjjb]

I've totally heard this song before...I don't know where, maybe in a movie, but whatever. Anyway, I really like this band, and this song is awesome.

[Blackfire6005]

dd anyone notice the vids out of sync with the song at the end.

No matter still an awesome song, love it! How they got the idea for the tennis ball balancing beats me :P

[sowingseeds1]

I was talking to the guy who stars in it the other day and he said something about they wanted to represent the way crazes take over in america or something like that, i was a little drunk so im not too sure.

[SakiNess77]

aw the video makes me sad at first then as it gets more and more into the song it gets all happy :D

[atsumitsu]
