To Geidre, bless you talk about deluded but your obviously young, the kids dancing are probably going to grow up like their fathers and be a human rickshaw driver, lets be honest they were anything but happy,and of course they have no clean water when people like yourself have baths everyday
As I can see, people are not that rich, still, they are happy, dancing.. and here you go, sometimes I'm in such a bad mood, for nothing, even though as I think, I have everything. I should learn from these people! And remember them always.. cause there are many more problems to worry about, not about exams and so on. comparing, it's nothing, others are starving, they need clean water, sanitation!
This band are well and truly the find of last year, brings back all those brilliant memories of India back in my youth, if they arent headlining Glastonbury this year its a national disgrace the UK tilts her ha t PURE QUALITY
"I think that's another big huge reason for the Jackalope, too. It symbolizes that this time that we're in is so privacy depleted that, it's better to lose yourself, your identity, in some kind of nonsensical entity.
i hate to sound stupid but wtf is up with their videos? what is the meaning of that jackrabbit with antlers? is there some message im not getting here? lol
Well, I have no idea what the jack rabbit with antlers is all about. What I got from this video was kind of like they want their music to change the world and inspire people.
miike snow produced Britneys TOXIC and WOMANIZER and hads done tonnes of hits for Madonna and Kylie... not sure how much more mainstrweam you can get.
Theyre amazing and indie, but not anti-pop (clearly)
I was in Varanasi at the weekend.........most wonderful place you could imagine, and I couldn't get this song out of my head when on our boat ride!!!Love it even more now...
@rken23. You need to listen to better radio shows then. Miike snow has been played plenty on BBC shows like Kissy Sell out, Rob da bank, Annie mac etc. Just avoid the daytime crap :)
i don't know why this is the best song in the world. its a good song, but certainly not the best in world, those who say that it is the best in the world is NUTS
It is impossible for there to be a 'best song in the world'. Everyone has their own taste in music and therefore no one will ever be able to name a song that the world collectively agrees is the best.
The song itself is decent, the beat is catchy but the vocals are lacking and the video doesn't really have anything to do with the lyrics.
I think that overall this song is okay, but not the best. The article did its job. People are watching this because of it.
SPIN magazine claimed this tune to be the best song in the world?? ! !they've got some serious balls to make such an egocentric claim..but then again it's only 1 journalist's opinion..and although it's a good little song , it is by NO MEANS the best song in the world !!!
I fell in love with Miike Snow when I went to go see Lykke Li at The Bottom Lounge in Chicago about 3 weeks ago. It was the 1st time I heard of them and I can't stop playin their music. The lead singer is also HOTT!!
more strange than pied pipering down the street with a weird glass sculpture? guess what, people are watching this video in HD on youtube in that very same 3rd world nation. 2009 is on us.
The STD sign you refer to has nothing to do with a Sexual Transmitted Disease; it means 'subscriber trunk dialling' and is used by all Indian telephoneshops to show them they offer subscriber trunk dialling. Anyone who's been to India can confirm this.
India is so mysterious and beautiful and this song is prefect for the video. This song and video makes me want to go back to India and lie on a beach in Goa and forget about reality.
