[lexiskramer229a]

This vid is a favorite on Male

[artiombarkun]

It works!



[Ynneii]

Thumbs up if you think the frog on 1:40 is the best ^x^

[jmeove]

Fair enough :)

[mirwin931]

Haha without Jose Gonzales this song wouldn't have the recognition it has now. This is so shit compared to Joses'

[jmeove]

@mirwin931 Fuck off. This is must better.

And fuck recognition.

[jmeove]

@jmeove *Much!

[mirwin931]

It's must better? Ah. Jose Gonzalez made this song known, and known properly. This sounds like a fucked up 80's song sang by beavers.

[jmeove]

@mirwin931 I did correct my mistake but you still refuse to correct yours.

[mirwin931]

We'll agree to disagree :)

[TwistedCommercials]

@mirwin931

I liked this and knew of this before the Jose version. Dur hur i'm gonna play it on guitar and get famous off of someone else's song

[jagscalabrine]

@mirwin931 just your narrow, ignorant view of music to yourself

[MagicPill1o1]

@mirwin931 pretty sure The Knife was increda popular in there home country long before this commercial... just sayin

[Kiddwaters23]

i would love to run in the middle of all those balls! just scream in there AAHHHH YEAAAAA BALLLS :D

[wisniat7]

Jose Gonzales > The Knife

[cman11311311]

The Knife! <3 Fever Ray! <3

[MightyMartel]

I remember this video but don't remember this being the song. CRAZY. Haha, I just want to get hit by all those balls. Balls in my face and shit ahahahhahaha.

[minnymich]

that is one awfully long commercial lmao. but oh my god, that would be so fun if a bunch of bouncy balls just came falling/bouncing down the street! :D is that in San Francisco?! I totally have an idea haha

[macroorchidism]

another 240p masterpiece

[nafisa96]

I luv the song. And the voice IS good. whoever says its "bad" has no taste 4 electro. its actually totally upto the people. sum like this version, sum like jose. it's that simple and nuthing to get worked up about

i personally like the original version :)

[lhbenedict]

just one of a thousand reasons i love living in the bay.

[VariedLyrics]

And this is why Jose Gonzales' version was chosen for this advert.

[ApplesiPhone4]

@VariedLyrics The Knife dont like being public XD

[eugeeltano]

wtf this commercial lasts 2 minutes and a half :S

[WarAndPeace86]

DUUUUDEE FRSCOS THA SHIIT!! SO IS THE KNIFE BUT WHOEVER SAID GONZALES SANG DIS FIRST IS DEFINITIVELY A TARD

[johnoXdamage]

@WarAndPeace86 yeah his is an acoustic cover

[wurtzelgummage]

Great shot of the frog freakin out at 1:42

[scullyy]

i remember the commercial, just not the song

[Gasolina10]

@scullyy The original song is from Jose Gonzales... It has the same name!

[scullyy]

@Gasolina10 the original is by the knife, gonzales made a cover

[wurtzelgummage]

@Gasolina10 I think Jose Gonzales is an amazing performer but scullyy is right.

[cesiumochsyre]

@Gasolina10

You idiot, Jose only made a cover of the original song by the fucking knife!

[happyllamaknitclub]

@Gasolina10 the original song is actually by the knife

[TheVapeAficionado]

This was in San Fransisco, I remember the news report when they filmed this.

[Gurizin]

this is horrendously hilarious.

[globe199]

Gay Atoms :D

[TSEngage]

OW MY GOD CAN I NOT JUST SEE THE ADVERT WITH THE ORIGINAL SONG!!!!! 

[purklefluff]

karin dreijer is a pretty damn good composer.

good on her for creating such an awesome song.

[willmays3]

free bouncy balls! i wonder how many they dumped

[willmays3]

@willmays3 i found out 250,000

[willmays3]

@willmays3 250,000 balls and prop cars

[mousecat13]

Honestly, I prefer this to the Gonzales version.

[JakabMarton]

@mousecat13

Yeah, me too...:)

[enrikeyoi007]

esta increiblemente fantastico0o genial...

estupendo, felicidadez.

[Tempress81]

this is a looooong as commercial. Love the song though

[yogirl1223]

THIS>>>>>>>>> than anything jose gonzalez could do. Karin is the greatest

[Stagsomat]

this feels way better than the one with gonzalez's version.

[catsnpancakes]

lol although i like Jose Gonalez's version better it is not the original, it is a cover of the knife's version.

[danspare]

this is a shit cover and poor attempt at Jose Gonzalez's original.

[pakjefrieten]

@danspare Pity this isnt a cover but is the ORIGINAL.

Jose Conzalez song is a cover of this;)

[iceland18]

Lol...although i like Jose Gonzalez's cover as well...it still remains what it is: a cover and not an original version. Other way round :P

[OnkelMickwald]

@danspare FAIL!:D

[AlZENT]

PUT THIS IN HD!!

[tomlubach1]

sorry guys but jose gonzalez's version is much much nicer on the ears, the original sounds like a cat getting hit with a shovel

[ZijnErNogNamenOver]

@tomlubach1

Lmfao. Really true. Like you are wringing out your cat or something. :P

[JONNOG88]

This on the soundtrack. In the film Donkey Punch. In the intro, where Jaime Winstone and co are getting ready to go out.

[garethbowler]

@JONNOG88 that was gonna annoy me all day! knew it was off a british film!

[womeneyzer]

Everybody who likes the song shoult try Jose Gonzales version of "Heartbeats" !

His Version is the one that is really played in this bravia ad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[womeneyzer]

Everybody who likes the song shoult try Jose Gonzales version of "Heartbeats" !

[womeneyzer]

Everybody who likes the song should try Jose Gonzales version of "Heartbeats"!

This is the one that is really played in the bravia ad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EmmaLagerback]

The Best swedish band ever!!! And Im proud to be swedish. :)

[8scatterbrain8]

bad quality :/ but cool video!

[AlexisShinnington]

Get Busy Committee ~ My Little Razorblade *_*

this song is awesome ♥

[bumfacefuck]

this combination of music and video has to be about the most beautiful thing ever at all.

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

i think the original suits this commercial better. Jose Gonzales was not that alive (not saying his cover isn't bad, it's really good).

and plus for everyone who says the cover is better. the cover would be nothing without the original.

[phibbs]

@NeonFoxLetsPlays THIS is the original, Jose Gonzales covered it

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

i know it is. what i was saying was that THIS song suits the commercial better.

[spaceboy32]

this song gives my nipples a heightened sense of awareness

[missvenusflys]

@spaceboy32

Wtf.....

[dejavu180m]

@spaceboy32 eat your nippplz

[spaceboy32]

@dejavu180m lol

[ciaram535]

@spaceboy32 hahahahaaha

[smokedmonkeys]

@spaceboy32 i could shape diamonds with my nips right now

[Justine7693]

ja auch coole version :)

[mysticaldeath]

shades of nina hagen & book of love- in other words, THE SHIT

[J4yBee]

I really don't like the voice . annyoing.

[XxxKIMI328xxX]

The Jose Gonzales cover is WAY better

[chiclemutante]

I love the way it came out. That commercial is so nice! ^^

[addemanns]

it's funny 'cause the commercial was for a TV with really good resolution, and here it's all shit :p

[zarkoasenov]

seems like the jumping balls are done in cgi

[supersayn53]

@zarkoasenov yea thats what SHE said

[sandmann2317]

@zarkoasenov nope, i thought so too. but the bouncing balls are all real, half a million real rubber balls, checkout the making of

[shivi1234]

doesnt look as good

[DJBlakeSkipper]

watch?v=yqZAPbl2lO4

The Knife and Notorious B.I.G.

[zarkoasenov]

heh this one owns

[theej12354]

can you send me this song please?

[martinGSC1979]

One of Swedens best electronica-band!

[librawitch7]

@martinGSC1979: hell to the yes haha :)

[Spamscript]

I like the background music.

[katievhoneychurch]

that beat is amazing but i have heard cats dying that sound better than this singer.

[sethweed138]

The singer is the best part.

[anzin74]

I'd hate to be the dude who has to pick all those up...

[godrodemyscooter]

theyre not even really there

[snerdson]

Maybe he got to keep em all...

[shivi1234]

@anzin74 they didnt pick them up, all the local kids took them :D

[junglishithead]

i like both.

[gh0stm0nk]

I actually find this version very good. I didn't even know it existed until now. However, I find it even more impressive that Gonzales was able to take it and make is sound completely different. One is not necessarily better than the other. Both are great, but for Gonzales to hear his version from this... I find that amazing.

[MorrisTheAdam]

@gh0stm0nk should check out the bootleg mix a good blend of both tracks :)

[maddiejotilley]

can you post the link for me?????

[godrodemyscooter]

@gh0stb0nk all he did was transpose it. its not like he made any insane changes. he just toned down the song to an acoustic vibe.

[peter2360]

@gh0stm0nk

If you guys want to know what my exact thoughts are, read his comment:)

[xclementinexk]

Googled Swedish bands, led me to the Knife then here...and I love it.

[hesheme18]

@xclementinexk Look up Jonathan Johanssons's song called En hand i himlen.

[tchanabc]

i liek this song a lot but i honestly like jose gonzales's cover better.

[corinnitarian]

jose gonzalez version is better when youre feeling more serious. this one is for fun. heh.

[noblew357]

ok u guys can stop cryng now

[smalliancetr]

lol i wouldn't even call this a song..

josé is the best at this..

[hamtamnam]

you don't have a music taste, I would imagine you listen to james blunt, goodbye.

[smalliancetr]

you cannot comment on others' music tastes, that's bullshit l0l

if you want to comment on the song, do it like me!

well actually this cannot even be called as song jejeje

[scvkurt03]

+1 to bagariddum

people saying one is better than the other are missing the point. i doubt very much that j.g. or the knife cares whose version is 'better'.

[Stewerrvideos]

@scvkurt03 well said

[bagariddum]

or the inward expression of what is outwardy the same...

[bagariddum]

IMO they are both very good but in such different ways. one is smooth and touching the other is edgy and thoughtful. that's art i suppose, the various interpretations of what is seemingly the same.

[noblew357]

totally disagree. there is more to life than acoustic guitar.

[Agathamg]

yeah, there's also stupid synthesizers and bad singing

[noblew357]

comment fail... i was disagreeing with you. i like the synths and "bad" singing. jose g version is a sappy "time of your life" version of something that is swedish, electro, and good.

[junglishithead]

yh i seriously dont know why people are complaining. fine if you like the other version, thats your choice. its not a compulsory for you to compare and slag this version off.

[jjiscoool]

jose is swedish too dumbass.

[jjiscoool]

and his music is infinitely better than "time of your life"

[smalliancetr]

i agree

[axpo995]

@Agathamg You have NO idea of what you're talking about. Please get some music taste

[ramirogupl]

i agree with spuddeer60606 this sing is made by the knifes not jose gonzales

please youtube let us enjoy the knife without the copyright thing

[sjwimmel]

Does anyone else think this voice is Very annoying?

[zhmr911]

No. In fact, the voice is what really hooked me to music of The Knife. If you enjoy The Cranberries you would know what I mean.

:)

Cheers

[madassfranki]

the cranberries! oh yes..

you got taste :)

[spuddeer60606]

GTFO this is the knife, the original. without this jose gonnad would probably be unheard of. they deserve the recognition for this beautiful track more than jose does.

[hjdutch]

love this song. has drugs and sex and sounds insanely awesome :)

[choadrocker]

"drains to bay"

[booshbaby666]

sweet! i wondered who done this version :)  thanx for this!

[mediocrestories]

you mean the original version.

[booshbaby666]

yeah,I wondered who did the original as someone did mention jose gonzalez had covered it. i prefer this one.

[rithem412]

This one is the original by The Knife.

[caiteug]

i love this song better by jose gonzalez.

[mypetrockdied]

here i am on youtube listening to a song that reminds me of my ex...gawd i hate her...i nvr got to tell her how this song has a resemblance to a CWK song...as far as beat goes...

[Muhurito]

fucking great song!!!

[HimeKira]

love the song <3

[sheilaswheelsunite]

YEAH!

[MusicJunky89]

i want this song played at my funeral and dude that advert ruled!

[wickandde]

I love both versions!

[blakula]

One of the best electronic riffs I've ever heard. Brilliant.

[melodyandmemory]

the knife's live version is oniric

[valetudofight]

the song is just great the knifes and jose ,but preffer jose version.

[spadehatesscrewtube]

i am smashing my balls all over your existance to the tune of the knife. ftw, btw.

[littleboylost78]

the knife's live version is much better

[harjinder14]

she has the worst voice ever

[iwanttoseeeverything]

who is gonna clean the mess now LOL

[RashaTwain]

Kids. I'd grab as much as I could.

[madassfranki]

I think this is awesome!

José González did a brilliant cover though

but i love this, is sounds older than it probably is..

<3!

[Crowen123]

I feel sorry for you that you cannot understand The knifes brilliant music!

[4269452]

No José González did a cover of The Knife's Heartbeats. Its not his song.

[abluemess]

isn't this jose gonzalez's song?

[RyanMcGinley1]

Jose Gonzales doesnt really do any of his own songs. He is absolutely class at reworking them though! Fantastic.

[nihil1]

Now just replace "Bravia" with "Trinitron" :P

[charold3]

ALL commercials suck, with no exceptions. As Thoreau wrote, Trade curses everything it handles. If I want a Sony, I'll buy a Sony; I don't need the feel-good song and dance. The Sony Corp. cares and its shareholders care nothing about me; why should I waste my time with Sony's commercial? Having said this, I love The Knife and am disappointed they let themselves be cashed in for filthy lucre.

[idrinkalotmorethanu]

whats wrong with u ?

[hangtime9873]

this song wasnt originally in the ad

[bttaberton]

everything is a sell, mate. You brush your teeth in the morning to sell the idea to the people next to you on the commute into work that you're not a dirtbag - and the reason why you chose that brand of toothpaste is in one way or another linked to how well it was sold to you at some point. Trade is just another word for sell.

[ForumTipIt]

They didn't allow themselves to do anything of the sort. This was done by the creator of this video.

[charold3]

Ok, Forum Tiplt; If you're right, I stand corrected. (bttaberton, everything is NOT a "sell." Marketing people talk that way, but you aren't one of those, are you? If you are, do what Bill Hicks suggested and kill yourself.)

[ForumTipIt]

I'm not. And your radical views won't earn you any credibility, nor will they earn you any friends.

[charold3]

Read my post again, Forum Tpilt, this time carefully.

[ForumTipIt]

Hah.

[RashaTwain]

OH so now we understand. BLURP! that's an alien fart. Meaning, FART! you're post sucked. charold3.

[haarrriett]

i think the advert is great with both versions of the song but i definitely prefer this one :)

[MrBojax]

They did this with real balls tool , :P

[ElliotWoolf]

Same here.

[PhantomAVF]

This was done use an After Effects type program and motion tracking I could do it my self Im an editor

[Midnight2ndLife]

All I can think about while watching this....is how the fack are they going to clean that up. Set a couple of hundred kids onto them? Find a really good vacumm cleaner?

[NoiseHorse]

I know it's making my OCD act up
