Destroy Everything You Touch is in Gregg Araki's Smiley Face. The whole movie is on YouTube. It's about getting really high on weed. - XenBuddhist

[bigmoneysteppa]

@febe2009 yea if your a boarder boy fancy man with a plasitc coat and tie

[BliceroWeissmann]

At 2:56 Helen looks so hot.

[Attraboy]

sums up our society

[TheBeliber123]

its amazing how ppl dont understand the lyrics of the song its obvliously about a modeling agency that excepts u until ur 17 and wen ur 21ur considered old

[ericcouncil12]

LMAO. None of them could dance!!

Still love the song though.

[loveless719]

@lordsofkoble It's hard to say. Could be anything really, just depends on how you interpret it

[TheSofres]

Well, I'm 34 so i must be a real bore, hahaha

[pedroca2424]

I'm 18, so I'm losing my fun bit by bit =(

[ecstasys]

I miss the original sound of Ladytron...

[Peta659]

song was O so NiCe!)}>

[Jof1987]

my girlfriend is 17, it is true, she's a lot of fun!!!

[Sgirardacus]

These lyrics are retarded

[loveless719]

@Sgirardacus they're not really if you listen to it and pay attention to the video. what i get from it is that they're talking about show business and anything hollywood related because if you think about it, when you're about 20-something in hollywood you're "old" by their standards, so they'll just go "our people will call your people" that and 21 is when most of young hollywood is fucked up anyway

[lordsofkoble]

@loveless719 sounds/looks more like an observation of a modeling agency selection process to me

[INITIALSJE]

I am only 6 but my parents told me I can watch mtv. It's amazing how technology

has advanced over the years. When I was 4 years old, I took up dancing also. This year I am one of the finalists to win $200.00. I am going to start a trust fund I think.

[jr7lee]

im 17 n this song makes me feel better about being a minor and underestimated for my "nieveness"

[elloy3]

I'm 21

[MegaHoneydripper]

This is very, very good! Love eletronica

[Cmartin40]

That short haired woman is sexy.

[floeticdeath]

This song's about fishing?

"the song is obviously about fishing. if you are too big(21 inches) they can't legally keep you, so they take a picture and throw you back in. if you are the right size(17 inches) they want you."

How hilarious would that be if that's true?

[Jesse4Jezza]

[havokchik77]

Back in the day this was my jam lol

[FreakonaPeach]

I absolutely love this song... sadly the only reason i found it is because it was in a porn (really good one...)

[alekivk]

lmfao

[davesean01]

@FreakonaPeach Hey, that's where I came across it too! :)

[floeticdeath]

@FreakonaPeach

I thought playgirl was in a porn. SLOPPY GOO NUTZZ anyone? lol Efukt. This bad is legit though! I love them. 

[MissEvie1999]

@FreakonaPeach LOL

[pedroca2424]

@FreakonaPeach HAHAHAHA ME TOO hahahaha

[adfro7]

@FreakonaPeach THAT EMO COLLEGE ONE?

[Soundfrequency]

@FreakonaPeach

So I'm not the only one who's seen "Invasion of the Big Multiple Titted Martian Babes from the Planet Femini"?

[tulud]

@FreakonaPeach

hahah, yeah i think i saw that too :D

[Narcissiaxx]

@FreakonaPeach It's also in a great movie called arty Monster. (Which isn't porn, haha) You should check it out :)

[bugboy3000]

@FreakonaPeach "best rodeo ever"?

[red6548]

@bugboy3000 for real dude!!!

lol

t shirts available!!

[XenBuddhist]

@FreakonaPeach Really? What was the name? You remember? I got one clip called Big Cocks, Tentacles, and Nasty Sluts that someone put a couple of Nine Inch Nails songs in, Help Me I Am In Hell and Another Version Of The Truth. It's a compilation really. The music made it more interesting, different, I can't believe this song was in a porno! - XenBuddhist

[FreakonaPeach]

@XenBuddhist .. I don't know how to handle that. at one side NIN is awesome... on the other side tentacles

[XenBuddhist]

@FreakonaPeach Lol! Yeah it's a weird clip, but it did go along with the music surprisingly. Someone edited it pretty well. The tentacle part ain't like you'd normally think, it's got some woman like turning into an alien or something and attacking this guy, kinda like in species. I guess that part was from an adult film but idk, it didn't have any sex in that part of it.

[matthewmckirdy]

the song is about modeling. they want u when ur young. they take a polaroid (picture) too make u feel like ur good but really they just want the younger ones.

[LumineuxNoir]

the meaning of the song and the video remains a mistery x] but i love it anyway

[Zentura22]

2 women and 2 guys right?

or 3 guys and 1 woman?

[FreakonaPeach]

pretty sure its 2 girls 2 guys.

[SDmanical]

I thought it was two girls one cup.

[SDmanical]

I thought it was 2 girls 1 cup.

[riverice7]

I am a Imeem refugee, facebook sucks! it doesn't stream jack....love youtube for music on demand. :)

[Mamasita5678]

Yet, I don't get the video.

[Mamasita5678]

I hate that she only says " They only won't you when you're seventeen. When you're 21, you're no fun. " And than the other line. But I do like the song!

[Poozel28]

@Mamasita5678 but it's true. Especially in the USA, if you're older than 17-20, then you're too old....even though life has only just begun. All of the 17 year olds in the glass room are auditioning for the part.

[LuciaCorak]

"They only WANT you when..."

[svetozarpopovic]

so bad

[akonpierre]

I remember this song. Strange

[greylinro]

This has got to be one of the strangest videos ever! But yeah, I love the tune!!!

[IWannabeJew]

Choose your girlfriends wisely.

[greylinro]

lol - never been in a position where I have so many girls vying to be on my arm that I've needed to hire a screening panel. But, the next time I find myself in that position, I will now know what to do!

Ladytron - Life made simpler through awesome music!

[IWannabeJew]

Who said these girls know what they're vying for?

[IWannabeJew]

I'd love to see a remake of this video with ejection tiles and trapdoors in the floor and a giant peppermint cane yanking them out of the room, Willy Wonka-style.

[IWannabeJew]

Don't Helen and Mira seem to have expressions on their faces saying that this video is autobiographical, where they're concerned? (Who knows, maybe the guys, too.)

[xChlott]

you get addicted to this song so quickly

[jozh90]

Cool story bro'.

[SaintDapiea]

Hehehe.

[yugilord]

Love Ladytron! Shame they go quiet for so long all the time. This is, I think, from their best ever album. Very psychadelic (check spelling - actually don't) and actually sound's modern which is very hard to do these days

[petrolhead28]

This song is a commnet on the modelling industry, which Helen Marnie was involved with for a time while at university.

[IWannabeJew]

Are you sure it isn't a comment on the worldwide prostitution industry, where the girls are set free to live the remainder of their lives, after they've gotten pregnant with a prima nocta baby?

How lucky the chump who will be that baby's "father"!

[DarkenSoul]

Love it!

[derekdudeman]

cool song, LAME video

[PizzahutCrocodile]

what was so special about the last girl?

[kahlo88]

she was 17??

[indigothecat]

@PizzahutCrocodile She was young. (Allegedly, only 17.)

[noramakesvideos]

LMFAO. 2:22

[BekiiDubProductions]

The Guy At 1:35 Is Uber Hott! xD

Love This Vid

[hswatnik]

good tune good sexy video- 100,000 viewers can't be wrong-

[jpmgmpj]

By that logic, The Jonas Brothers and Kid Rock are awesome.

And we all know they're not.

Popularity has nothing to do with how good a band is.

That said, Ladytron is great.

[Spankyvov]

its teh ebst lmao

[ellyunfortunetly]

Tha last girl is too old!!

[redistuo15]

mentally disturbed?

[ellyunfortunetly]

Yes :o(

[hprunluvdnerd]

lulz at this very unusual argument

[spider418]

rupa2887,

i want them in chile, in spain, in usa, in france, but only when they're 17!

[IClots]

[rupa2887]

[gagisek]

[SimsFreak473]

omfg awesome

[kenne210]

What's the correct term for the genre of this kind of music?

[Ivanomatic]

"Electroclash" AFAIK

[kenne210]

thanks!

[minniesweetgreen]

cool

[saiyuki77]

god this song is sexy

[BackInTh3Day]

christina aguilera is sampling this song for her new album

[sovietnimrod]

"They only want you when you're Ladytron, when you're Aguilera you're no fun..."

[KaroRawrs]

Hahaha!

Good one!

[DJX101]

i need to get some extc

[mistermajestyck]

[PatrickIngham21]

Im 21 :O

[bloodshedhero]

amazing song.

has a very nice.. dark.. hopeless feel.

and hott chix. :P

[jonny15dk]

Ladytron is Great. I like them since 2005.

[Dannoga]

Simplicity is beauty Ladytron is simply beautiful.

[espuderito]

it feels great having 17 :)

[RiinOnLoll]

It's good to be 17 xDD

[simonamadden]

great song

[GCLane]

I think I'm in love with them :O

[hagthor]

this sucks. two lines. FOUR synthesizers to make this song? come on!

[davispl5]

you're right

this video sucks

however the song is very good

[sparky0370]

They're very hot, and so are the girls lol

[xmaxma27]

so simple but yet so incredible

[JunAllan]

I would like. Seriously pay ladytron to seriously remix more of their own stuff. DO IT NOW>

[xghoulx]

like the song, and ah bravo for captcriterio because he made me laugh by this senseless blabbling about nothing.

[TheMadChild]

Senseless babbling about nothing? Hmm... maybe you should listen more carefully.

[kitteesrnice12]

i love her so much she is so hot

[Cthulttio]

This video reminds me of the film Mädchen in Uniform.

[capitancriterio]

having in mind that some people die of hunger, the only excuse for this video could be that it was made for free.

because is not fair or logic that while some kid sleeps in the streets (just because), a pretencious director lives well for things like this.

cool song thou.

[designanddirection]

From the "pretencious director" life is "not fair or logic" but at least I can spell, Captain Cretinous (look it up in a dictionary).

[PeteVanBock]

My God... Mira is sooooo cute in this video. And Helen too :)

[biglforlife]

I think the best girl won.

[Willroast]

The lyrics for this song are amazing (as is the rest of the song).

[RonaldVaughan]

Do you have an instrumental (or extended)

mix of this song?

I love the mysterious,spacey,John Barry-

esque synthesizer!

[305hawtness]

I understand this song and love it but why do they live the girl there they didnt even take pictures or anything

[raygixxer89]

I know?! She didn't even take her clothes off or anything! BTW,I LOVE Ladytron,I bought the cd that has the song:Destry Everything You Touch. Badass album!

[rockhag]

Its the whole point of the song. They'll let her know. ;P

[ScottR87]

Saw ladytron for the first time last night.

This song live is better than god's warmth

[welc0metobangkok]

I think this is about the modeling industry, and how they only take you when you're very young. If you're too old, they don't want you, haha! :]

[sonicjay007]

they create 'white light',white heat',

[Mrpiggywiggy]

this is gay full of emos like me lol

[no1kingofconvenience]

lovely electo pop.

although i am gettin to old to be cool x

[PrincessVioletWeasel]

Don't be ridiculous, you're never too old :D

[daftpunx234]

Unless you're 21<

[YooTrain]

Mira is such a hottie. I'd love her all over.

[DoctorDoom91]

What does this song even mean? It has a good beat and rhythm but what the hell does this mean!?!?!

[MateosOrtega]

talks about modeling

[swisherred]

its about young girls being wanted for modeling I would assume

[automatwinslaytracks]

It's about how you're only wanted when you're seventeen, because when you're 23, you're no fun. They'll take a polaroid and let you go.

[DoctorDoom91]

wow great explaination that did not help at all i know now thanks to mateosortega and swisherred

[DAVEtheMAGICIAN]

LOL

[MissSyeda]

"They only want you when you're seventeen

When you're twenty-one you're no fun

They take a polaroid and let you go

Say, they let you know, so come on"

They refers to modeling agency or the media.. but they only want you at a certain age which is 17.. and 21 is too old for them..

"they take a polaroid and let your go"

well they take pictures and make you famous and the next thing your gone because of certain things like your age..

the song is just saying the media sucks and has its ways ..

[LeadersCome]

thanks, I did not understand what this song was about. so that is what they meant with "they take a polaroid".

[superkira715]

I really dont get this video

[person12369]

the guy in the back left is freaking hawt ! XD

[RyokolikesCookies]

I <3 this band. best ever. xD

[Loulafish]

Mira Aroyo... God, fucking beautiful.

[funmapi]

what do the lyrics mean? Who is 'they'?

[Stebba1]

Men in general, They prefer 'young' girls to sleep with instead of older, Like the lyrics obviously describe.

[Aeon9]

No you fool. Tho your comment is 100% correct, this song talks about modeling, "they" refers to model agencies, or the market.

[Loulafish]

Helene sort of looks like Kate Moss, lol!

[iluvmiley99]

that's... interesting, but on the awesome side!

[aliverius]

brilliant harmonics

[kissesxoxohugs8]

omg! i totally love this song! <3

[Electrancemusic]

God, this is so great. I just discovered this song on Friday and now I am obsessed. It will be stuck in my head all this week.

[smasher]

one under-rated band i like so if there was more airplay and less ignorance this song would have got into the top 40.

[LizaLaChatte]

I'm 22 does that mean I'm boring?

The singers are so pretty!

[MateosOrtega]

Yes

[LizaLaChatte]

haha

[KronicPain]

good vid

[marvingalaxy]

It's about aliens from the 9th dimension that can only eat people of a prime-number age. Duh.

[xXRetardKoolaidXx]

Lmfao.

[phiu]

ahahahahaah

[915s]

when i turned 21 i had a quarter life crisis, it wasnt very fun...

[amon2365]

i want mira soooooooooo bad!! shes my dream woman!!!

[azejv]

it's about modeling...duh

[MateosOrtega]

I love the girls in the video, the song its just great
