  • Parts of the guitar riff remind me of Rock Lobster by B52s.

  • WTF!!! LMFAOOO

  • skins brought me here :)

  • This track brings back memories of my first year of uni.... goodtimes.

  • She's a prostitute!, She's a prostitute!, She's a prostituuuuuute! ♫

  • check out my human again remix guys search for Jack dracula human again young knives cheers

  • The Young Knives, like Art Brut, but better.

    there we go.

  • Wacky tune! Search 'The Mischiefs - Dont Go To Work'

  • I met these guys last year and they are genuinely nice but a bit sweaty. Oh Young Knives, you geniusessssssssssssssssssss!

  • i forgot how good this song actually was, lyrical genius !!

  • The Art Brut flashbacks. Galore.

  • @sputnikfire did this bloke used to be in artbrut? i thought the same

  • @teallynch12 I have no idea :( Wouldn't be surprised though. Their music is like... too goddamn similar (not that I am complaining!).

  • This video makes a lot more sense now, because in the song I thought he says "You were screaming at your mum, while I was watching your dad" and made it sound a bit pervy :)

  • you were screaming at your mother and i was punching your dad!

    BEST lines in this song ! ;)

  • the lead singer in the video reminds me of robert smith from the cure. great song and video 

  • Great song but that guy is one of the strangest looking people ive ever seen. He looks like penguin.

  • @drstuartschneider this song came out a year before North American Scum, I can hear the similarity but if anyone is plagerizing it's LCD Soundsystem.

  • Very good video and song. does anybody know if there's a making of the video out there?

  • I keep waitin for "....North American Scum!"

  • Supporting these on saturday :D Gonna be amazing :D

  • agreed.

  • @owzaslayer1 Your entitled to your opinion but it is rubbish.

  • Who are these people lol

    They really take the biscuit

  • Reminds me of Parklife, but this is still an awesome awesome song.

  • the wedding is going to be magical i can already tell ahahah

  • cheese a tractor to

  • Such an original concept for a song and with brilliant lyrics too - I love it to pieces!

  • "he said i was a terrorist!"

  • i love this band sooooo much... my dad was lucky enough to play the same gig as them a while back, apparently they're the best live band he's ever seen, which is a big thing to say considering he's seen bands like Primal Scream and Kasabian. xxxxx

  • My dad got me into these their awsome and i love his true brittish voice it so indie =D

  • tbh honest i agree. i think the true british voice in songs sounds so great. rather then the new music for england(grime or mc.) long live british music! R.I.P

  • the clip is hilarious and genious at the same time!! love those lads!!XDD

  • Extend-o arm is go!

  • (y)

  • Comment removed

  • if you hate the band so much, why the fuck are you sat watching their videos arguing with people who like them.

    who's the retard here.

    you are, you fucking pleb.

  • why people even worry about making others people mind that something they dont like is crap

    and even fighting with them that they're right, and others are wrong just because they have diferent tastes...

    come on, if you dont like it, why bother in fighting here, just move on to another video you say you like, or pretend...whatever, just move on!

  • When I first heard this I thought it was a piss take!

  • How many songs do you know have the line

    " he said I was a terrorist"

    Quality

  • Freaking amazing song ^^

    Love the Young Knives.

  • this song is simply amazing.

  • ok not their best song obviously but they still have good ones and the potential for better ones, I still prefer Turn Tail to ALOT of popular songs lately..

  • what a terrible clip. But I love this song.

  • I love this song. The video... well, I think it could have been better. He looks like Dennis the Menace. Maybe that was the point.

  • they'll be playing in my city next week!!

    and it'll be free!

  • You know nothing!

  • nothing, other than that this sucks

  • You like 'offspring'! Who - "like totally awesome dude!" It always amazes me that a developed country can produce such a cretin.

  • it amazes me that a developed country can produce such deaf bastards

  • Can you actually name any recent bands in Britain at the moment? You listen to Offspring, watch MTV, so now you are the arbiter of taste...welcome to the amazingly diverse and colourful world of music. Will the last person please turn the lights off as they leave the building.

  • no im generally not as keen on music from england i must say, but i like all of these who are FAR better than this shit:

    Feeder, the killers, Koopa, muse, oasis, proclaimers, Rembrand Neirinckx, the sodburys and SPUNGE,and thats off the top of my head. also how can i watch MTV in england? prick. + i think i have a fairly big music collection, with about 5 days solid of music and a cd collection of more than 100 albums, so shove ur goddam awful ears and this shitty music where the sun dont shine

  • the killers are from las vegas

  • ...my bad...but still..u get my drift

  • my bad? speak english

  • well atleast when i speak it sounds normal not like this fucked up shit. it sounds like they're singing with a cold and a bunged up nose...also 'my bad' is quite a popular phrase nowadays, so keep with the times grandad

  • It's just one of the many regional accents found in Britain, there are actually a large number of bands who's singers have voices like this.

  • Oh ho! What a wit you are. Maybe you should ease of the spelling, and leave it to those who can?

  • Spelling mistakes? No, I guess you didn't aside from "shud" and "singin". Also, "Are you retard" is an excellent piece of grammar. Try throwing an "ed" on the end of that then we'll talk.

    Capital letters; use them.

  • get a life; do it

  • Fuck off : JUST FUCK OFF

  • err...sorry for not being DEAF

  • Fair play mate your a fucking idiot :)

    These guys are class love them XD

  • ...their in a class of their own......the RETARD class

  • Comment removed

  • *que applaud*

    said well my friend

    x

  • WOW, thanks! I didn't realise anyone actually liked us! :-)

  • I think you missed the point Dr Zchvago

  • my teacher recommended this band, my respect for him has risen

  • met these guys at a backstage after party, talked to them for hours! great guys =]

  • so jealous :P

  • their videos are actually entertaining. most videos aren't worth watching just listening to.

  • Awesome track.

    I always thought the boyfriend/henry looks like Perry from Kevin & Perry.

  • i love the youong knives  i think they sound a bit like blur in this song x

  • Completely agree! (:

    Amazing song though.

  • lmao wtf, the young knive are MINT :D

    they'd shit all over you "0ren3" 0ren?

    what the fuck, with a zero? ha your lame :)

  • You were screaming at your mum and I was punching your dad :D

    lmao =]

  • genius that line should be the title

  • but they are gret live, seen them at the newcastle cluny

  • The bassline is really simple but really catchy.

  • Ha.

    Fantastic.

  • i love this song it is beast :D

  • Well good song :)

    YK are Cool!

  • this band are weird....

  • "He said I was a terrorist!"

  • Reminds me of David Mitchell.

    Ah... the angst. Excellent, solid music.

  • lol yh but with a wierd nose

  • dennis!

  • you were screaming at your mum and i was punching your dad!!! (IN HIS FACE!!! I HATE YOU!!!!) lol so subtle

  • even though people seem to be having an argument below me I've 're-discovered' the young knives and haven't gotten around to explaining why I haven't gotten into them properly yet, and to the person who said they should turn punk, this song seems quite punk and ska influenced.

    Think about it.

  • I just fcucken love this song. A classic.

    "Who are these people? They are too STUPID to be your REAL parents!"

    Simple, upfront and brilliantly effective.

  • best thing about this tune is the simplicity of the music, and the lyrics... "he said i was a terrorist" lol thts classic

  • these guys are gods

  • I agree, it's very simple. But that tone is great, and it works contextually within the song.

  • Still the best bass line ever

  • white stripes - seven nation army, now thats a proper base line!

  • OMG if you dont like the young knives then fuck off honestly its silly

  • well said! :D

  • Brankin1 - go and throw another Cat Stevens record on you cretin.

  • t*ss*r

  • the word you are looking for, i believe, is TOSSER!!!

  • Sounds a bit like Blur...

  • Why is tht such a bad comment???? Blur are a good band and i imagine YOung Knive fans would not like OAsis

  • In 'is faaace!

    Always cracks me up

  • Not their best but good

  • i agree, but it is their most punk song.

    notice how it's also the easiest to play :p lol

  • Fuck Aye!! This is The Business.....

  • "He gave me a right talking to, he said I was a terrorist..."

    In the context in which it's used, undoubtedly the best line in any song for the last 10 years... Good Work Fellas...

  • enjoy their videos as much as their songs.genious

  • saw them yesterday they're ace live

  • FFS dont try to be too smart

    He gave me a right talking too he said i was a terrorist

    King Tuts 5th November

    Lets Rawk!!

  • gonna see em 2moz!

  • Hey musics what u make of it isn't it?. Not every1 likes the same stuff. Theres no specific good or bad just individual taste.

  • you were screamin' at your mum while i was punchin' your dad..........Punk as fuck!!!!!!!

  • FUCK YEAH!

  • Good shit

  • so if henry is the boy, and house of lords is the dad, is that oliver dressed as the mum???

  • Yup. Haha! Saw them at the Cambridge barfly with a friend a few months back. Never heard of them until that night but my god they rocked! Waited by the stage after they finished and I got Henry to sign my album sleeve (I got the CD en route to the gig) Awesome times.

  • A drunken American in a Paris bar mumbles something about best band he saw in England, I check youtube on the off-chance...Bloody hell! This is what we want. Such good videos too. It's 1979 and I love Young Knives.

  • I fuckin' love this tune,watched them twice in the last two weeks, I could easy do it again, love 'em!!!

  • Funny how you can't like The Young Knives if you like Coldplay, I never knew that. I'd better return my Coldplay albums so I can be ''indie'' too.

    This song is good, incidentally.

  • One thing everyone has to realize about music is that everyone has a different group of music(meaning many genres or bands that often have nothing to do with each other)they listen to. Theres no such thing as quality music either. That term implies everyone would agree to it being of quality, whereas music and people are too diverse to put any band under a blanket statement of everyone likes them or everybody hates them. Its a myth that all people youd be friends with listen to the same music.

  • yeah thats true all my friends are into just metal but I have a broader taste in music, and prefer rock and indie to metal.

  • This is an odd song but I like it!

    But what does it mean by: She's Attracted To?

    What exactly is she attracted to?

  • the worst song i ever heared =\

    every one who think the song is good isn't really know anything about quality music!

  • You like Coldplay.

    Enough said.

  • coldplay are cosider as a good band!

    this song is really wierd!

    when i heard that song for the first time i thought that they can't be serious!

    the vocal is really bad! and the bass and guitar are playing the same notes for the entire song! (sry if i have a few spelling mistakes.. english isn't really my language)

  • If you like Coldplay this clearly isn't your kind of band. This is the type of music you can dance to...i even crowd surfed to this song when they played Stoke, they were AWESOME! great band and they are 3 funny looking men! Stick to your Coldplay and other ponce music

  • well... i don't know about the dancing part but if you like it so have fun (=

    but i just want to recommend a band call 'blackfield'!

    THE BEST BAND EVER!!!

    gotta check them out!

  • You haven't heard much music if this is the worst song you've ever heard. Coldplay, whislt not being so bad as a band, have spawned so many crummy imitators that they deserve a public flogging. Oh yeah, and I once wrote a 5 page essay on Gabrielli, so I know a thing or two about quality music.

  • 5 pages?! I can sympathise for your pain...

  • It would have been harder to write any less to be honest. So much to say, so little motivation to say it!

  • i just looked at your profile and i can tell you with absolute certainty that you have abysmal taste in music. honestly, i could write for pages and pages explaining exactly why the various bands you like are shit and why your reasons for liking them and disliking other bands are extremely misguided.

  • obviously i won't because it would be the most egregious waste of time, especially given that you probably wouldn't be able to understand the arguments anyway. also, i don't really feel the need. although you've criticized the young knives, whom i quite like incidentally, i don't feel insecure about this because i know i have good taste in music.

  • so i don't really give a shit what you think about all this, but if you are at all interested i can tell you these two things for certain:

    1) the young knives is quite a good band. not the best i've heard but certainly quite good.

    2) you have awful taste in music because your ideas about what music should be are all wrong.

  • if you would like me to elaborate on these two points (and especially the second, with use of examples) then i will - as long as you ask nicely. if you take offense to what i'm saying and you're not willing to learn then i won't bother; i'm not up for a fucking internet argument so unless you submit yourself meekly to my damning but well-reasoned criticism i won't reply to anything further you have to say.

  • look man my comment shouldn't bother you so much!

    I just don't like this new wave of indie!! for me the music really really sound wierd couse m not used to listen to this kind of music.. i like more compicated kind of music! band that look a bit pathetic (no offence!!) while they playing the same thing over and over again (the bass)!

    well.. sry if my english is not so well... I didn't learned so well in school =/

  • Love their lyrics. this is one of their best, up there with Another Hollow Line and Loughborough Suicide.

  • best song everrrrrrrrrrrrr! love them xxx

  • Yo, gaydar, sod off

  • Oh, he has such an adorable boyish face...

    This video is quirky, you can tell they had fun with it. Like a scene from My Family, or Malcolm In The Middle.

    The dining room looks almost David LaChapelle-esque.

  • "They really take the biscuit!" lol, these guys are great.

  • LOL! Henry looks like Dennis The Meanece

  • yong knives are top fucking bastard banana new arctic monkeys oh yes

  • A bit difficult to be the new arctic monkeys when the arctic monkeys are still fairly new on the scene. More like... legacy... Theyve have opened up for a boom of this brill Libertines/Blur's 'Parklife' stuff

  • Isn't his nickname "The house of lords"?

    Haha, I think they're pretty cool... went to see them in Manchester a while ago. :)
