Yves Klein Blue - 'Polka'

[AngieInWonderlandx]

He's so fit.

[bentleyfban]

I watched this band in Liverpool a few years ago and was very impressed with them.Looking forward to listening to their album Ragged and Eccstatic.

[1angangang]

BGS YEAH

[turtlesandpenguins84]

wth! y is it i just heard of them, they hecka good!?

[ElPsychochillero]

i can speak english so why cant i understand a single word!?!?

[theskimps1]

these guys are seriously good. heard they broke up though.

check out my channel for another great australian band.

[magentamonkey99]

SLiDE brought me here!

[HiImNickWhoAreU]

@magentamonkey99i brought your mum to an orgasm

[actuallyactualify]

Get the fuck back together already. Michael, you were born to be a frontman!

[swils81]

What I love the most about this is that it's filmed at the Tropical Display Dome in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mount Coot-tha - well before the band was known by anybody. I could've seen them from my back deck. Fuck yes Brisbane, Australia! Fuck yes Yves Klein Blue!! It's a shame they weren't around longer to produce more of this brilliance.

[AllTimeIsRelative]

@swils81 Wtf, why did they break up?

[ad4nr]

19 people who looked at this have no idea what good music is...

[jaison2515]

@ad4nr  yes jaison dirksen brasil

[ad4nr]

19 people who looked at this have no idea what good music is...

[fugue83]

Love this! This song is stuck in my head :)

[olivekalamatta]

[llFeathersll]

I'm hearing some influence from 'The Cure' here.

[JennaandMicah]

[XxXbobstaXxX]

lol the basest is my friends brother :P

[jamesa1234]

dick wads broke up, I blame MW

[MrJordyb123]

this is a band that deliberately makes themselves look a bit retro! i love it :)

[timothydavidpower]

@L2daO2daZ

too bad your cultural boundaries are baffled by music with any rythmic or lyrical quality. go listen to some fucking lady gaga or justin beiber. simpleton.

[graciesmells]

rest in peace 

[MAreesay]

michael tomlinson is damn hot. luc-ky megan washington.

[AndrogynousHaircut]

In the bridge the singer sounds so much like Julian Casablancas from The Strokes.

Insane....

[L2daO2daZ]

too bad these guys are fucking average.

[skweltch]

Have they split up, could someone pleaase tell me?

[jongtu]

@skweltch I dont think so.

[casp3z]

@skweltch sadly yes

[GeorginaS95]

@skweltch yeah

[DrMattDestruction]

the cameraman is my mom's left idea.

[Roar198734]

thumbs up if u love that they're aussie! :D

[sk8erguy9]

these guys were awesome at the surfers paradise festival! it was awesome for a free show on the beach

[anzacspirit]

saw them at powderfinger concert in adelaide, they were pretty damn good

[rentatrent]

[BoysNoizeWIN]

[hjmpaperclip]

@Timmay0081 yess it looks like it! unless it's done on a green screen

[Roar198734]

Brisbane represent!! WOOP WOOP!

[fabloves30stm]

[thatgreencaterpillar]

these guys are so underrated... most amazing song

[Frayzah]

[OhNaughtyWok]

Drummer is my cousin. Sweet.

[BamvsNoodle]

Theyre were awsome at the Powderfinger concert :3

[Fauxsuede1]

Sweet

[IrishDancerMoni]

saw them live a few days ago. i hadn't heard of them before but it was simply a mind blowing performance and now i'm hooked!

[hellspawn0391]

sheesh

[Tabora93]

this guitar solo is so great its the build on its just so skillfully played....damn lol

[AlcuinHimself]

Now chosen for Storm the Charts. Hoorah!

[ipudding100]

These guys sound more British than most British bands

[luciamazzella33]

they arnt british they are australian ahah

[skitzzer]

Lets do acid

[SLiMDiXON]

These guys probably find it completely normal to write a song like this. I don't think they realize how awesome they are. Phenom video quality too.  USA loves you.

[purplegirl110294]

I love these guys - class Australian band :D

and I'd kill for a red rickenbacker like that (and/or the guy playing it).

[David151289]

i first saw these guys when they supported biffy clyro in 2008, ever since then ive loved them

[mizzcarleen]

I met them in person in Brisbane when they opened for Ben Kweller a while back... 2 years? anyways they are awesome, great guys. I love their music. & they got Ben to sign a shirt for me

[sharpismylord]

omg it is actually a polka like genuinly the dance i has the same structure wow good work lads

[TremcladClock]

Yves Klein Blue are so underrated.

[briannalouise1]

this song is so rad.

[tony1946]

What is the name of this Girls group?

[JesusSanchezz]

The Silly Nannies.

[BananasUnited1234]

HE"S SO HOT IN PERSON!!!!!

[Taylorwinning92]

OMG!!! i've been looking for this song for so long, its on an ad and i loved it, i heard a song on rage by these guys, so i just checked em out and this was the first one!!! amazing!!

[MrOriginalSong]

Great

[crasian69]

"but if your ever coming, or if you ever take too much, remember thats much better then never ever getting enough!"

[LeCheese96]

omg these guys went to my school

[smoothfrenchvanilla]

"jimmy said ride the snake" is that a reference to the doors song 'the end'?

[Mylazyweekends]

@smoothfrenchvanilla

I would have to say yes, in an educated guess sort of way.

Reason being, if you listen to the lyrics, they all bring up or connect with drug use, or substance abuse of some form. So, assuming this is correct, it would make perfect sense, considering Jim Morrison for notorious for his use of illicit drugs.

[dunn808]

these guys went off at southbound

[RockGurlliee13]

I saw these guys supporting Reverend and the Makers, both bands were awesome! I think i'm in love with the lead singer <3

[munchkinXaimz]

AWESOME seen these guyys at reverend and th makers on halloween got hugged by micheal(lead singer)) theyy are veryy cool

[willy9182]

seeing these guys soon

they sound pretty good!

[genericfirstname]

Cool vid, obviously shot at Mt Cootha Gardens. Seriously though, why is it in 4:3?

[panefuldeath]

WOW.

[NouraOfModania]

thats the song from the car ad! =D

[belovedmatt]

the best song i have ever heard, these guys are the shit, fucking awesome, and its very catchy

[TheMusicOfWhy]

FUCKING AWESOME SONG.

[lovebabyL1]

the lead singer is hot

[maddyacoustics]

i agree

[Sebbacca]

really?

[weinerdog4eva]

i met him. he was sweaty and pasty looking, but i liked his shirt

[internetloevmachine]

I saw them at the Palace in Melbourne on Friday

Good show.

[Damoooooon]

thats at the botanical gardens? in brisbane?

[dilstheman]

seen them at splendour, they were awsome and how good is this song, i love the fact its about taken drugs :)

[elyseglynn]

SUCH a fantastic song

[JVanclay]

one of them is my mums cousin's son.

[blobuloid24]

I saw these guys at Enmore theatre last night. they were INSANE!!! i hope they tour again sometime soon.

[MatthewFerd]

Finally found the song in that commercial!! Thanks!

[yvetteclaire]

It's the Mitsubishi ad song. They should put the swearing in the ad, it adds edge.

[toxicatingme]

this song is on that ad. (: its awesome

[janeparkes33]

i know its goin to sound random but there is a live band playing 2 houses up my street and they sound exactly like these guys, they just played this song and im in brisbane. does anyone know if they are playing somewhere 2nite?

[ncoutts1]

not random at all my friend..

that was actually yves klein blue playing at my house party last weekend.

twas a good night.

so yep, they were indeed playing this song (and 8 others) at my house a week ago.

[drpants]

These are the two best comments I've ever read on YouTube, I just thought you two would like to know that.

[pineapplesrevenge]

I'd join them right now if I were you!

[petter1669]

I rowed with sean in high school. no one thought they'd make it, and veryone didn't take their claims seriously. they ignored them, quietly confident. i know them personally, so i can say, they're legit, from the ground up, unlike USA stars these guys are substance 100% and yeah, that's something you get from Brisbane, Australia!!! solid - all the way through!

[davinak4444]

@petter1669 Did you go to BGS?

[petter1669]

@davinak4444

hey davinak, yeah i went to BGS, it's the best school by a country mile in qld but a little depressing there though! i suppose that helps with discipline.

[davinak4444]

@petter1669 Oh that's really cool, I've got some friends that go there.

So did you go there with everyone from Yves Klein Blue or was it just Sean?

[joeleof]

@petter1669 haha is that you Balf?

Good Old Sean, could never take him seriously, but good on him - They're going great guns

[hack451]

@petter1669 Their greatest claim to fame is an old Mitshubishi commercial, and they haven't done anything significant since. Come a long way from high school? Sure. Successful? Popular? Hardly.

[peaches11angel]

i looooooove this song!

[kitteebudd]

this song is sooooo sick

am i the only one who gets the pink floyd reference?

[LeatherCladVegan]

the 'Sid was at the gates of dawn' reference?

No you're not the only one, but I'm sure you're special in other ways ;)

[dwsimms47]

I believe it is a reference to the Pink Floyd Album Piper at the Gates of Dawn, which is all about psychadelia

[hpdv6700]

What one?

[CAJboredofliving]

best song ever!

[vvont1]

this song is sex too my ears

so goood ;D

[Dash1zzle]

Song is all good ^w^

[poddylamb]

is this one of their origionals?

[flanksalot]

"when jimmy said ride the snake" RIP Jim

[cleasalicios]

G what?

[Dizcinger]

Sounds so much like The Fratellis

[jessicaruthgrant]

having seen the fratellis and yves klein blue both live, trust me its a different thing all together, fratellis have nothing on these guys' live show.

[aussiemitchy]

ahh yes!! i was trying to think what band they are similar too but couldn;t out it together....they do sound like the Fratellis...both are still good though!!

[Fujikapesta]

its even better that theyre australian

[sararahra]

and from brissie :D

[faeries10210]

when did this song come out?

[birdyboy18]

it came out on their first EP called "Yves Klein Blue Draw Attention To Themselves" which was released in 2008 and is fo shiz balls awesome and then on their debut album "Ragged & Ecstatic" which is also awesome and that was released this year

[pwnrofldairyqueenbbq]

Is this song old or is it meant to look old?

[nyahnyah5]

meant to look old

[Mayloreza]

im sure the only one who knows what its really about is the guy who wrote it the first time i heard it i thought he was refering to relegion when he said find out what science replaces and it turns out it aint that much i thought that was funny but drugs makes more sence maby i should try listening to it high? lol rock on groovy song man!

[nyahnyah5]

lsd lol

[keef78]

i think ive heard this on an advert...yeah?

[dkl08]

Mitsibishi Lancer ad.

[GoatsGoneWild]

this song is about pokemon

[TheFelixCell]

Are you serious

[SurfieInACT]

This song is about whatever you want it to be! damn!

[joelgallant9]

start is about blow then heroine

took me like an hour to find after seeing commercial

do they have other good songs

[SexiiCupcakeDollie]

This song is about acid.

[IndustriousKitty]

I think you'll find that it's actually about heroin.

Also, fantastic song! :3

[colestevens]

you don't eat heroin. but you can "lick up a dream that seemingly sings with whistling neon breath"

the dream being coke.

[colestevens]

"jimmy said ride the snake" means his buddy was telling him to ride out his bad trip. and "we bent our spoons and we howled at the moon" means they cooked some heroin and got high.

but yeah the first part is about coke.

[bygdubdiesel]

jimmy=jim morrison.

[StrangelyBrownNo1]

Yes you can.

[bjmanimelove]

Omg, i love this song now. And the sad thing is, I first heard of this song through the mitsubishi car commerical XD It's probably gotten a lot of publicity just from that ad :P

[Matuzy]

Same here.

[Dash1zzle]

Name of song?

[jmoussa1987]

these guys are cool, very 50s rockabilly

[colestevens]

he says fuck, badass.

[Torboar]

best song ever :):P

[Mayloreza]

man this shit is freakin awsome my heads gona be bobbing all day at the calgary stampede .... Kick ass

[sillyboydozza]

i lov the bass line

bass is freakin awesome

[burzo678]

hehe i love that about the video

[madhatters8898]

These guys look like greasers straight out of The Outsiders. It's fucking great.

[plusanimalover]

i kno its fucking awsome :]

[colestevens]

true that.

[bjmanimelove]

zomg, they do!

[David151289]

i saw these guys last year when they suported Biffy Clyro in Bris, i had no idea what their name was till now. awsome song

[madhatters8898]

When was this recorded?

[FREEAKer15]

kick as song

[AmitailyM]

i like this song :D

[TheCheekymunkey]

And Jimmy said ride the snake:

So we bent our spoons and howled at the moon

To find what science replaced.

[JesusSanchezz]

See now these is the good lyrics

[NicNat22]

Ahh, I definitely thought this was by The Fratellis when I heard it in the commercial!

[SantiLon14]

Fratellis are good.

[rach6st]

These are amazing lyrics! Crazy song!

"Brother hold your head this way,

and bustle to the front of the line

cus if they catch your eyes before you get inside

Well, you'll never be allowed. "

[JesusSanchezz]

...why?

[awesome1naomi2000]

mitsubishi wants everyone on acid!

[DASHTHC]

Haha!! EPIC Song!! All about an LSD trip!!!

[DASHTHC]

I love the solo at 3:04

[chickenpieman100]

everyone search 'phony and crazy' on youtube. epic stuff. mhmm.

[georgiesamShow]

saw them last night in brissy now seeing them again tonight!

LOVE THEM

[TheCaseyDANGERjames]

i'm going tonight on the gross coast can you be my friend. the person i was going with has no id. :(

[hack451]

I liked the first two minutes... then he goes into that solo and kind of kills it. Shame. It was catchy till he tried to make 'rock' out of it.

Oh,... and I wonder if Mitsubishi knows he's singing about LSD?

[ragdollfloozie]

I often wonder the same thing about Iggy and the Carnival Cruise peeps...

[Xbox36oChannel]

Mitsubishi commercial EPIC WIN

[phoenixmar]

3:05 = Epic

[Subcomandante22]

the lead singer reminds me of Joe Strummer with his style some classic punk

[XXTheFlash]

his face creeps me the fuck out.

[gracexxface]

i was just thinking the same thing

[santasanchez2]

this song sounds like fratellis or kooks, but none of their other songs :(

[kukasdesigns]

i thought, arctic monkeys, fratellis, or the kooks - but definitely not these guys -

great tune, going to be looking for more YKB

[RetartedCrayons]

hahh!

Yeah this is from the mitsubishi commercial.

Its funny :P

[BAGPIPER3060]

Just heard this on the Mitsubishi Ad...and loved it, I HAD to find it. GREAT song guys!

[velvetgonzo]

Sid was at the gates of dawn, And Jimmy said ride the snake,So we bent our spoons and howled at the moon

To find what science replaced. love it

[adamkubiw]

kind of a kooks vibe too

[simennsx]

very nice!

[beertron7]

Nice little ditty

[unevenlight]

awesome this song was better then I thought it would be especially for one from a commercial

[KaywinnitGirl]

they remind me of the frettellis :)
