Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks on Craig Ferguson 2011.07.15

[TheMegoCoolMego]

this song makes me smile so much! :)

[januarypeace]

Happened in Chardon, Ohio today.....another kid with a gun....shooting kids.

[SenorNerd]

@januarypeace Did the kids run faster than his bullet ?

[JOJO22858]

Reverb and whistling never sounded so good!!

[yaso33q]

I love the way he snap his fingers! and the shoulder dance!! <3

[siguysilas]

This song isn't about him at all. It's about the columbine shooting.

[Aggedor1959]

This is where I first heard this. Bought the .mp3 that night 'cause I KNEW it'd be a hit. They should do a 'puppet dance' version of this song one night.

[Dancrept]

Psicko eyes 3:10



[XxIceTeaBoyxX]

Stop fucking dancing like that its so fucking ANNOYING!!!!!!!!

[lsmith3040]

mark is so sweet. so is the other mark. cubbie not so much

[sandyzmz]

Mark Foster can make his voice sound different anytime he wants. Awesomeeeee

[Burleism]

Fuckin A Doo Dah!!!



[FlorenceFan533]

You know, about half a year ago, I didn't know why I adored this band so darn much.

Hehhehehehhehe now I do. :)

[VampireErika32097]

killer dance moves. fuck yes.

[peppytaz18]

When I didn't know the lyrics I would just hum it

[NeroGJ]

@saftygamer yes it is.just listen closer this is the version of the album,i have it and is amazing the alla album

[saftygamer]

didn't anyone notice at the start of the song that a weird noise that he made on the keyboard................. that wasn't in the normal version

[bretrosexual]

amazing performance!

[zeropointpower]

Why does this seem a million times better than the studio version?

[SoughtGore]

@zeropointpower I Totally agree, I look for this one before I listen to the Studio Version. I love the slide guitar playing and how the Synthesizer has been increased in volume!

[MrSaiyinblood]

@laranik89 he is speaking of the popular kids, I think he is talking about bullying and how he wants to shoot the popular kids. Also I think he was abused by his dad because of his verse on his dad.

[EyeTracksTop10]

@MrSaiyinblood

Close. Check out the song on wikipedia, has a complete description of the background and meaning. Our visual mashup clearly shows the meaning of the song. Check it out.

[MrSaiyinblood]

@larnik89 it means the popular kids in school. He is speaking of bullying and being abused by his dad. That's what I took in anyways.

[sheyla1406]

lo maximo fosther the people

[ipolee]

run run run

[lemint606g]

it seems a bit higher of "run" voice in 3:00 than the original song.

[mikek44224]

After this, can we really call them indie anymore?

[chirpchirp46]

I'm so in love with Mark Foster <3 He's so talented and beautiful (:

[laranik89]

what do the words mean when u say

"with the pumped up kicks?"

is it a expression for something?

[mikek44224]

@laranik89 My guess is stylish, expensive shoes.

[kdreams5]

I like this band!! They re goood!! :)

[theinck]

Bass guitar sounds JUICY

[GregoryJohnsonJr]

So much better acoustic.

[ramarshall1872]

I want whatever maraca guy took!

[monobrow112233]

Dat bass. Dat bass man<3

[heathcol1]

[evilthoughts12]

[MrRenanJESUS]

[greucanu]

@MrRenanJESUS i do the exact same thing, it's addictive :)

[lZlAlbatrozlZl]

@MrRenanJESUS  me tooo!

[WhatNowization]

It's sad to know that heroin almost ruined Mark :( glad that he's where he's at now. He deserves all he's got and more :) forever a foster child

[csopr]

It's just a great tune, like these guys..

[jman036]

i love the song, but live? he sounds like a girl...

[MrTOTBL]

@jman036 so what??

[jman036]

@MrTOTBL it wasn't a question.....

[andaranduy]

[daburner]

[DiCam3667]

What a effing great song. Makes me want to take the top down on my car and crank it as loud as I can on that SHAKER 500

[NirvanaFG45]

this song is GREAT live

[BellaNovaBianca]

Wow. They r great to watch. Imma pay more attention to this band more now. :)

[hawjsta]

Hmm? This song make wants to go and shoot some kids now.

[hippiema1]

Yummy!

[earussell]

Much better than Letterman performance. 

[MrLancau7]

MOVE LIKE FOSTER



[The25butterfly]

best version ...just so fresh 

[heathcol1]

love the button down shirt.

[BrettBrett2100]

thank god that the top comments arent epic shoulder dance

[heathcol1]

@BrettBrett2100 lol agree

[KoobxwmBelieves]

i cant believe how much they blew up since this day lol x) i remember this show :DDD

[robwayne1000]

God he reminds me of Beck so much!

[sweetcarolinesmiles]

i love his dance!!



[DeanMusic95]

Mr Roboto on the tambourine



[Duhello88]

I think the awkwardness everyone is talking about just reinforces the irony and disturbing nature the song already brings. Very nicely done

[Duhello88]

I think the awkwardness everyone is ta

[TriumphT140]

I thought this song was from the 90s, it just comes across like a memory. Reminds me of the Sneaker Pimps and Villains by the Verve Pipe. Kinda reminds me of Weezer when they were still kids. Great stuff.

[KoobxwmBelieves]

@TriumphT140 totally agree and weezer covered this xD

[soundtheology]

Wow can we get a little more reverb please? Wtf.

[zipang15]

love it!

[RAEN74]

Thsi guys got great vocals regardless of echo!

[RAEN74]

FOASTER! its pronounced FOASTER!

[mastafull]

I love how awkward he is just standing there singing and not knowing what to do with his hands.

[heathcol1]

@mastafull lol you are right. he puts them in his pocket at one time.

[Video1Bros]

foater the people rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkk

[ComicJinkx]

@Video1Bros foater?

[TRapsGoldenchild]

I'm a straight guy and this song gives me a slight chubby.. el oh el also check out my rap verse on this beat on my page plzzz! it wont give you a chubby, but its pretty awesome! :)

[Pagestalcup]

I got a fever..and the only perscription is more maracas

[ramarshall1872]

I think the guy with the maracas has a touch of ADD. Luv the enthusiasim! : D

[fishburn24]

What a catchy, cool, fun, sound.  I find it hilarious that artists can make gun play sound fun!

[1981faqp]

Seria grandioso, fabuloso que llegara a mi país "PERÚ"; no como otros patéticos grupos que llegan a mí país cuando están cruzando la "TERCERA EDAD".

[1981faqp]

Excelente "ALTERNATIVO".

[ba3cool]

Uncanny resemblance to FPS Russia. Singing about guns just reinforces the notion.

[Xpaintmegreen]

i like the awkwardness of all this. makes me happy

[randolphpontillas]

Reason this world is saved: the maracas guy.

[YamamochiLin]

Velho na boa... Impossível não viciar * O *

[Video1Bros]

when i was playing gran thef dorto there was an old lady running away from and starded singing

better run better faster than my bullet

[starkiller20293]

@Video1Bros You mean Grand Theft Auto, never heard of Grand Thef Dorto. Sounds like a dollar store knock off.

[ewkerr]

he might be more comfortable singing if he undoes that top button...

[TheCaulkerman]

@ewkerr i noticed

[ClaytonLovesyou]

great

[Topazmagic]

When they're dancing in the beginning... all I can think of is the Charlie Brown gang. xD I love these guys.

[integer22]

Excellent track, excellent performance, excellent recording.

[OrangeFairy1]

I love the synthesizer thing Mark does !!!

[heathcol1]

haven't seen such a good looking band in a long time.... plus they can sing

[mimisanful]

this song's enjoyable... i love this kind of music.....

[mynameshouldbtrouble]

Mark Pontius, I love you.

[apiwataui]

i love their moves! i don't know it looks awkwardly crazy but yeah i just love it! Bands like this are very rare for me. like these days most of music sound the same to me (not try to judge them) but honestly i wish every band has their unique type, not just five faces, five hair styles but the music.

[iama842]

Most awkward group ever

[MrRogue37]

this song kicks fucking ass! love it

[cowboys19ish]

one the best songs of the year no never mind the best song of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cme98]

fucking hot, absolutely amazing, original, & extremely clean. i'm impressed. please make 20 more hits just like this.

[TheRayning]

im amazed how this guy can get his voice like that

[shitsandwicification]

anyone hear of the band "John June Year" ?

they are unsigned

[cyborgschulte69]

who is the guy on the synth,i think he loves and lifes this song.i like people they perform the thinks they love.

[MrRogue37]

@cyborgschulte69 what you just said makes no sense, learn how to speak English

[pedgeman]

@MrRogue37 Its not that hard to translate, cut him some slack he's German. Who is the guy on the synthesizer? I think he lives and breathes this song. I like people that perform like they are really loving what they are doing. I gotta agree, seeing the whole band dancing and enjoying themselves onstage makes this live performance something special

[BrianHR100]

I've taken up mark foster shoulder pump as a sport

[colbyiam]

Mark Foster should got a haircut like Pauly D.

[ChubbysDeals]

This is just a fun song, Yehaaaa!!

[ramarshall1872]

Love the way he shrugs his shoulders during the whole song! Love these guys!

[pandahugs4u67]

3:07 i like how he actually whistles:D it makes me want to whistle along!

[pandahugs4u67]

seems like a fun song to perform live. love it<3

[kreynor1]

they better run before i blow there heads off lol

[pedgeman]

Impossible to sit still to this

[LoominViewa]

[LionheartCloud]

[Austigod]

[need4speed4245]

[csopr]

You've just gotta love these guys..great song, and yes better live, I agree.

[vanessachadbella]

I like the song though so it got a like by me.

[vanessachadbella]

Notice that at 2:50 there is no one singing "run run run..." Also, when does anyone live sound just like the radio?

[Lukasmusic91]

@vanessachadbella ever heard of synthesizers?

[MeAndHomies]

@coderedbr1 What in gods name does that mean

[ToninoIX]

Love it!

[Lontgomery]

[619samir]

0:18

[nathalieh4]

hotnesssssssss



[guitarboy1259]

They r a very awkward band

[rccup7]

One of the most creative blends of synth and rock in several years. Hope they continue with their brilliance.

[blackwearz]

yearhhh !

[senorcharlie1]

Such an awkward man.

[LhodaKblerz]

The way in which the music contrasts with what is implied by the lyrics makes this song thought provoking too.

[LhodaKblerz]

The Pop Song is not dead. After years of brooding spoilt brats trying to make miserable music, this is most welcome. Young, good looking and, it seems, talented. I hope this lot and a few other groups feed similarly happy,optimistic music into my old ears. If my kids end up making music of this ilk then IWDAHM!

[rrdguitarvideos]

this song is so good but that damn keyboard effect sucks

[JulietteAndRohmeeo]

I love Mark Pontius the most, but Mark Foster's smile at 1:54 is amazing <3

[Dashooter911]

Is it just me or does this song sound just like the Gorillaz?

[dongshim2001]

hardcore percussion guy

[tinche936]

maraca guy <3

[rev1ction]

This guy look like tom brady to anyone else? lol.

[anazteck]

WOOOWW i love this song, this guys are awesome.

[BiehlMatheus]

0:19 ---- REPLAY

[DimeKang86]

The other day, this song came on while I was having sex. I started singing and moving to the music. It was fun.

[cxg174]

@DimeKang86 we needed to know that?

[allanlluiz]

Best Live Performance of this song! :D Foster The People rocks!!

[cepo8584]
