[WskerFTW]

What Language is this?

[MsMsStephanie]

@WskerFTW norwegian, but the vocalist has also a special norwegian south-west land dialect ;) theyre alternative rock band formed in 2000. Recently just discovered them and theyre genius!

[WskerFTW]

@MsMsStephanie cool. know anywhere one can download this song?

[MsMsStephanie]

@WskerFTW Havent found exaclty this song to be downloaded, but just copy the link and then go to zamzar.com and convert your file how you want it ;)

[BackWoodsPuppy]

[mrkillerar1]

@WskerFTW norwegian

[taryndancer29]

no clue what this song is saying, but its the best <3

[Shnitzel47]

This video introduced me to the epicness that is KAIZERS ORCHESTRA!!!

[Jineb]

@Shnitzel47 Me too! But that was 4 years ago ^^

[littledoodoo]

This video is why I use triangles in tic-tac-toe

[moxproxy]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

[Cazz814]

I saw this back on Flashplayer and it still stuck with me yes also like 4 years ago.

[just8309]

Thats pretty much the worlds history if you get down to it

anyway this video is great one of the best on youtube

[shaneyboy105]

What language are they speaking? Sombody please tell me

[oblivious12123]

@shaneyboy105 norweigen, i think. thats what every site told me

[wecouldbeglorious]

@shaneyboy105 Norwegian - with the Stavanger dialect. :)

[fallenhero590]

I have been looking for this video for years!!!!

[xboxlover749]

i wonder what was AFTER the triangles?

[BrianSouvannarath]

@xboxlover749 sqaures then something else

[phorsakyn]

@xboxlover749 squares of course!

[oblivious12123]

@xboxlover749 squares, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons, nonagons, decagons etc...

[14DEADSOUL]

@xboxlover749 Then all the other Polygons come in for revenge...

[eatmorbagels27]

i havnt been able to get this out of my head. the message of the video is so powerful.

[RedSoldierAnt]

X = Nazi Germany

O = Japan

I dunno the symbols remind me of the swastika and the rising sun.

[azninabox]

@RedSoldierAnt I think the entire point of using shapes was to not put labels on the sides. Besides the germans and japanese were allies.

[RedSoldierAnt]

@azninabox I know that, the symbols just reminded me of the two countries during that time, even though they didn't fight eachother.

[PREDFoR]

NORWAY FTW

[kenmabie]

liked the original song better, video is still awesome

[Garc1993]

@kenmabie Which one's the original? 

[kenmabie]

@Garc1993

it was a techno type sounding sond that fid much better, i dont know the name of it

[Fireykub2]

SIEG X!!!!! SIEG X!

[puut4991]

I hope everyone knows what the video actually means.

[Pippinscat]

Love the track and the video!!! Awesome =)

[conpepitas]

Haha fick du lov att ta en av de få låtar som faktiskt inte handlar om krig?! Läskunnig någon??!

[zemlia88]

2:25 Heil X!!!! stupid X XD

[Heriksen3]

This dialect is soo strange you could hardly say it's Norwegian. But I love it!

[ZomgNinjah]

Stupid youtube isn't letting me post this amazing interpretation i wrote

[raraand]

kom til Odense, vi savner jer

[jonny3302mw2]

lolololololol i love this!

[torylva]

even though norweign is close to swedish, i dont get a shit

[Theinsaneviking]

@torylva Might be because of the difficult norwegian accent the singer has. Im norwegian and i understand most swedish and danish , but some dialects in swedish is freakin' impossible to understand xD as well with danish, but the danish sound as if they have a potato in their mouth when they speak so theyr'e kinda difficult to understand anyway its all like aæoueaæ!!

[torylva]

@Theinsaneviking like mine dialect? its northen swedish, from norrbotten.

[conpepitas]

jaa eller tvärtom, stavanger ligger längst ner i Norge!

[NikiPaprika]

Its so weird, I watched this YEARS ago, and absolutely loved this song, then I became best friends with a norwegian dude, and I was singing this one day and he was like HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT SONG?!? It was hilarious!

Though he said the lyrics don't make sense to what's going on in this video, but I don't care, its still an epic animation!

[AcidHead27]

X=Germans

o=Japan

lmfao

[lolgast77]

the japaneese didn't fight the nazis lol.

[lolgast77]

oh i also forgot to add the rest:

the video is about how one man gets power and tries to conquer everything, then somone ells comes and takes over or either frees them.

like al quida had power and then the US came. its how all wars go.

[AcidHead27]

I know, but the X looks like a swatstika and the O looks like the O on the japanese flag :P

[jack046984]

Great animation and a great song.

[THMissy]

genial ;) sangen passa jo jævlig bra til xD

[methos173]

I saw this video a long time ago, 4 years. I never forgot the name.

[Im4r331z]

Yea, man i saw this on funny junk I always loved it

[koliop941]

@methos173 same here

[puut4991]

@methos173 same her but 3 years for me!

[n4ch0k1n6]

@methos173 same for me here :D

[HippieBeard]

@methos173 "War" not that hard a name to remember tbh :P

[BuffaloTPU]

When Man meets force, Man Distroys Himself.

[KaiserGilloutine]

@BuffaloTPU When force meets machine, machine runs around with a breathing problem, chokes people out, and destroys planets.

[aeroniscool]

the song is kaizers orchestra look at 20090817 my version

[boeingLL747]

I guess you can relate Russian Roulette to war in a way. You're kind of playing it when you make a decision on something.

[nadiaalnil]

i saw this vid a long time ago and i finnaly found it

[alecdddd]

same

[Stinfrey]

I used to love this flash when I was younger :D

[noethowen]

hell, i still love it!

[R00stashield]

GELFMEAAAEEG.

[Calaquita4e]

lo mejor!!!!!

[puredemoniczick]

Darn, it's much better on the website then it is here. Is this a recording of the original?

[THATSOKSNIPERW8TS]

lol i know what its about and its not war but hey great vid

[Revenge328]

This song falls under the "One-of-Those-Songs-That-You-D­on't-Know-What-the-Hell-They'r­e-Saying-But-You-Don't-Care-Be­cause-It-Sounds-Awesome" A.K.A the OOTSTYDKWTHTSBYDCBISA category :D

[Isoroku]

It's about a Guy who lost russian Roulette.

[stevensonbak]

If he had lost Russian roulette, he wouldn't be able to sing this song. . . LOOPHOLE DETECTED

[cm2dude]

PIME TARADOX

[Revenge328]

@cm2dude EMIP XODARAT

[cm2dude]

@Revenge328 FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU------

[Isoroku]

Uhhh. No. The Guy singing is Dominique. The Guy who lost is Tony Fusciante. Dominique was supposed to watch over Tony, but he got drunk and wasn't paying Attention, so he's going to be executed by the Mafia for failing his Duties.

[Cipher71]

@Revenge328

So true! I just looked up the English lyrics today and it's about a guy who played Russian Roulette with his friend and watched him die and is confessing it to a priest. Kinda unrelated to war, but this video always stuck with me. I saw it on Amish Donkey when I was in 7th grade. lol

[torylva]

@Revenge328 its norweign, of course no one gets it, not even they do it. :D

[torylva]

@Revenge328 i know what this song, but that is not relevant. its still awesome

[blue99ice]

@Revenge328 kaizers have a lot of those songs... check em' out! =)

[torylva]

@Revenge328 its norsh

[XcLe3t]

@torylva Norwegian.. not norsh..

[torylva]

@XcLe3t oh yea... norsh was a ancient norse languege right?

[XcLe3t]

@torylva norsh was an ancient norwegian language :)

[torylva]

@XcLe3t and ancient swedish

[norske5000]

@XcLe3t norse*

[XcLe3t]

@norske5000 ja, stæmme dt x))

[Ingestedbanjo]

@Revenge328 AKA most of Kaizer's orchestra, Rammstein, Vitas, Sigur Ros etc.

[WkcWakka]

@Revenge328

I understand it perfectly ;3

[WkcWakka]

@Revenge328

I understand it perfectly.

[mrkillerar1]

@Revenge328 this song is norwegian!!!

[Commisarvlanse]

Epic.

[asdffg29]

jesus ? r u

[UserNameTaken3]

1 ! 2 ! 3 !

[cdhsd890]

hope the creator knew the song was about russian roulette

but still the whole premise of the vid is very valid

[Kubus77]

It's not really about russian roulette, it's about a priest who works for the russian mafia and he uses the confessions for them. Thats mean the sentences: And only Father Martin know whats behind his Hallejua.

[Isoroku]

It's more about Dominique than Father Martin. Rullet, Frå Sjåfør Til Passasjer, and Bak Et Halleluja are about him and Tony with Resistansen giving a little Backstory and also introducing Marcello. None of the Songs really focus much on Father Martin.

[Chiafriend]

Amazing video. Just... amazing.

[erinellem]

Wow. Fantastic video and the choice of Kaizers Orchestra is perfect. :)

[hermoda]

That is why we must fight all collectivistic groups... No to fascists, nationalists, socialists and the religious!

[salmonking007]

and that makes you a collectivist group, lol.

[Revenge328]

This falls under the category:

One-Of-Those-Songs-That-You-Ca­nnot-Figure-Out-1-Fucking-Lyri­c-Yet-You-Still-Like-It-Becaus­e-It-Sounds-Awesome

[liam348]

i agree it is aparently about russian rulet according to the first related video

[AltairDK]

It is about russian roulette, you are correct :D

[InsertShankHere]

And then after the triangles take over, it'll be squares. >.>

[linebeck222]

then pentagons...

[justacomedian]

cool

[Shmilli]

Thsi video reminds me of Radiohead's "2+2=5"

[chylling]

what program do u use to make this vid? : D

[HeRetiKMD]

adobe flash

[AtticusKMC]

touché

[torylva]

@HeRetiKMD i hope you are not saying you made this video, just only uploaded it

[HeRetiKMD]

@torylva actually i did make this video

[EnvaReaver]

@HeRetiKMD ur the twisted bastard who makes that site?

And yes i can say mickey mouse as a serial killer...

[HeRetiKMD]

@EnvaReaver well, that would be me, yes.

[moxproxy]

@torylva Actually, he really did.

[TurncoatGamer]

@chylling

The movie was made in the program Flash by Manuel Fallmann (his site is MINDistortion . tv) originally.

[melechdesmotes]

hello i look this vid in 2004? years years ago on other side^^ i love it^^

[Killer99214]

jævlig bra norsk sang ^^

[10lettername]

i laugh at those who say we need war...

we DO NOT NEED WAR

and for those of you who disagree, you obviously have never been to war and think its just like call of duty...

no one needs to die, enjoy your time on earth while it lasts... it needs not be shortened by something as foolish as war.

[GearsofFate101]

no one needs war except for those at the top, the ones who make profit off of it, the problem is that it is mans insatiable appetite for war, it will alwys drive us closer to ur own destruction. But, in the case of America and France, we may need a revolution.

[Reathalack]

we don't need war anymore. The next war will be the release of 20 atom bombs destroying the world x)

World war 4 will be fought with Bows and Spears...

[IVomitOnYourGod]

Why we need a revolution?

[shameusogrady]

Maybe I'll get shunned for saying this, but I actually think we need war. I'm not saying who should win, or who is right in war (because I'm well aware that people die during war especially innocent people).

We are already overpopulated. It was said that while Alexander the Great conquered he killed over two million people (think about how many people lived back then, that's a LOT of people.)

Don't mistake my words, I think war is an atrocity. But we need it.

[ATTACK1942]

I agree, WE NEED WAR!

[HolyguitarRuler]

YEAH!

[eantquox]

I also support genocide, get rid of those damn unwanted babies

[jimmyriba]

Fighting the population explosion with war is like trying to lose weight by cutting off your leg. Also: Slaughtering 2 million people doesn't even make a dent in population growth -- if you think so, then you don't understand exponential growth. A year or two, and we're back again.

Try family planning, education and gender equality instead, mate! That actually works.

[cm2dude]

That may work for the Danes, and partially work in America, but it isnt going to happen in Asia or Africa...

[jimmyriba]

It already has, for example in Indonesia, where government support for family planning helped reduce the birth rate from 5.6 children per woman to 2.8.

Anyway, fighting population explosion by killing people works *nowhere* in the world, because birth rates won't decrease. Kill 2, 5, 10, 100 million people, it doesn't make a dent. And they're replaced almost immediately. That´s how exponential growth works.

[cm2dude]

You forgot Africa.

[TheGrimRater]

War is not healthy for any living thing...

[Seretur00]

Nor is life. It is lethal, no one survives!

[CaityBee2010]

God's a dick, he made it so that no one leaves life alive.

[Killer99214]

Well said, very well said

[HolyguitarRuler]

you know war is needed to keep the world at a balanced population, and im not saying its good ppl are diening but its necesary

[Puckosvart]

I respect your state of opinion, but i must say i disagree with it...

[IVomitOnYourGod]

We need more terror on streets.

[HolyguitarRuler]

dude no way

[IVomitOnYourGod]

Our society is too much brain washed, we must reduce it.

[HolyguitarRuler]

dude sthu hippy

[IVomitOnYourGod]

wtf

[xxReger37xx]

he's singing about killing people

[Pootboot]

Nope.

[Killer99214]

no, he sings about people not following the ''rules'' and want's help to take over the world (in vid. ofc). and then about revange.

[eantquox]

Bat et Halleluja has nothing to do with war. It's a confession of a man to a priest, guilty because he watched his friend kill himself while they were playing Russian roulette.

Unless I misunderstood your comment and were strictly talking about the video, but the actual singing/song used is in no way related to the video

[riflepoet]

Googol Bordello is better

[mac081793]

Man, I saw this video YEARS AGO!

LLike 5 years ago. I been looking for it for ages!

[SheriffTJHooker]

me too!

[Richkickma]

[AnimeFreak159357]
