Gruff Rhys - Shark Ridden Waters

[truedefinition]

She's the hottie from Gossip Girl. Blair's sister in law.

[Sicpupyz122]

Thumbs up if you think Gruff Ryes sounds like 22D from Gorillaz

[shamiey77]

ouh no beautiful women, she make me heart beats...

[soniacet1961]

It seems to be Italy, At the very beginning he speaks italian. I JUST LOVE THIS SONG !!! Many thanks tp Kaiser Chiefs to recommend it !!!

[starrstarcrazy]

[cacaorocks]

[mosshark]

Gruff Rhys strikes again.. He's a genuine musical genius.

[mizofan]

Gruff Rhys' film Separado is excellent.

[stphmy1q2w]

wow what were the chances that 6 blind deaf kids would hit the dislike button

[AGMLBN]

Roxaaaane !

[ebrookedavies1]

Can't stop watching this, it's beautiful!

[COOPERsPLANET]

I must admit I paused at :46

[musicalrevo]

@COOPERsPLANET

tutut

[iliasemmanuil]

pleaaaaaaaaaase only make music videos with peter gray <3

[qwer8907]

funny

[rasputin63]

Note to all who perceive a 60's vibe: This record directly quotes the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song, "It Doesn't Matter Anymore", performed by Rick Nelson in 1966's ON THE FLIP SIDE, a TV special featuring the music of BB/HD. The Sandpipers also did a memorable cover of the tune.

[smokeemonkee]

@rasputin63 He used a sample of the Cyrkle's version of that Bacharach/David song.

[tamcon72]

Where was this filmed? I MUST know!!!

I love the Graham Parsons vibe. Video is adorably winsome and coy. It is a summer song like in the old days, like no one writes anymore. Thank you, Gruff Rhys, for taking me back to when the touch of soft cotton sundresses, the caress of warm breezes dancing through my hair and the candylike scent of fresh ripe watermelon were the only sensations that mattered !

[MrSkavoovie]

Why the intro is in Italian? ty

[partyhardydardy]

was cool for like 5 seconds and then it started getting gay. then he sang so i muted it.

[AshmanMusic]

@partyhardydardy Why wouldn't you just click off the page, rather than watch a muted video?

[arcticmonkeysseven]

After watching this, Gruff Rhys is my favourite human being.

[denverexec2000]

OK Video, more boring music, no end of it is there these days?

[OctopusMimesis]

What a bitch. Deserves a good spanking.

[TheSwarlsBarkley]

this tune is amazing. has a great 60's/70's vibe to it.

also reminds me of an old voice i know for a long time.

moody blues or john miles...

anybody got a clue to what i'm thinkin' of???

[Kabbalah0]

otra cosa como se nota q tiene barba , tiene la voz como pomposa,como toda la gente q usa barba, es como que se les forma un minibuffer...

[Theodore55]

Whenever i'm listening to this in the car, i pretend to fiddle with my station dile until the song actually begins. :)

[climbpissis]

OMG, it reminds me that I had a Merlin too !

[Kabbalah0]

como puedo ver los usuarios que pusieron no me gusta en este video

[fugbo]

feels like summer already

[pisces31180]

great song but I feel like the video could have looked more vintage as this song couldn't be more in homage to music from the late 60s.

[muffinsdotexe]

oh this video is just awful. she turns lesbian at the end i guess?? i like the song a lot though!

[alozthebest]

which place is that?

[hamsterstavros]

where did he find the merlin ??

[ozqadir]

The Italian at the start (when she's in the sea) is:

She says: "You coming?"

He replies: "Just a minute..I've got my shoes on.."

Me thinks this is my summer 2011 track :) Love it!

[warinababylone]

transalte the italian!!!!!!!

[Dionysus1974]

Can someone translate the Spanish at the beginning for me?

[anonkn]

With a career spanning 23 years Gruff Rhys is discovering he has a good solo voice at the age of 40. This album based around his shampoo bottle collection from hotels around the world is polished and wide ranging.

[Johneb71]

The live version of this Gruff recorded for BBC's Review programme is truly awesome. it's on youtube

[superframus]

best outting since Phantom Power - the sound and feel of a Furries record - thanks to Gruff for the great music

[9mmPrince]

I wanna make love to his music, just barely discovered them! Love Gruff XXO

[clarkjaguar]

Gruff is amazing, as are the SFA's! Everything he touches seems to turn to musical gold!

Can't wait to get the album!

[dbeach73]

Sweeet!! he's got a Merlin!! l used to have one of those!!

[BravoStuZero]

The greatest man in music history, he comes up trumps again. Quality stuff from Hotel Shampoo which I have no reservations.

[MegaRugbylover]

great tune, apparently he would like Shakira to cover this song, this is what he says :

I might like to hear Shakira covering 'Shark Ridden Waters'. I think she would be great. It would have to be someone with a real grasp of pop music.

[musicalrevo]

@MegaRugbylover

i wonder if he was being ironic?

seriously he dos'e that sort of stuff all the time.

[beatniece]

that's a toy? looks much cooler than today's portables! fantastic tune, too.

[Falmanable]

didn't like this at first, think it's brilliant now though!

[Savorthemonkeys]

i want to be her.

[Dentakulator]

Just superb.

[Iamtherealguido]

This is so good it's painful. Really hanging out to hear all of Hotel Shampoo!

COME ON GRUFF!!!

[riskit4abiskit]

Bach di siomi bod ei ganeuon cymraeg ddim di bod mor llwyddiannus, GRUFF RHYS <3

[adamcapper1975]

[adamcapper1975]

well done gruff, love this

[pelagodoxa]

I caught my mother disliking this song from 2 different accounts. I no longer love her as much.

[333TGINN333]

I'm going to buy this new Gruff album and play it over and over again just like I did with the last one!

[Sumthing4theWeekend]

OMG, sod the 2 ppl. who "dislike" this !!!! Gruff am byth!!!!

[tazzywazzy1989]

WOW this sucked me in quicktime! Its GOOOOD! Think I've found a new music artist for myself : )

[yuyudunno]

2 guys went into superfast jellyfish ridden waters

[BRABromborough]

This is an outrage and quite frankly should be banned

[xyzedro]

1 idiot disliked this

[iambenellis]

1 person got eaten by a shark

[mwnciful]

Who's ricky nelson? I he a wrestler?Who disliked this?

The sample has already been pointed out it's Cyrkle-IT DOESN'T MATTER anymore.

[anycolouryouwant]

@mwnciful well i am sorry... the ricky nelson song was actually the original of the song you mentioned

[mopeford]

classic !!!

[mopeford]

classic !!!

[Ghorghinahn]

@potricknipperdimple Yes, my girlfriend pointed out that he is indeed playing with a Merlin, a toy from 1980, something I had completely forgotten about until she sent me this link.

[anycolouryouwant]

Listen to ricky nelson - it doesnt matter anymore... this is more than just a little bit borrowed

[grimbar10]

@anycolouryouwant it's called sampling

[anycolouryouwant]

@grimbar10 not when you re-record that parts you are borrowing

[jimbobjun]

@anycolouryouwant it's not re recorded

[anycolouryouwant]

@jimbobjun listen to the ricky nelson song... it most certainly is

[jimboobism]

@anycolouryouwant it is sampled, but anyway, he gives credit to the original in the album sleeve, therefore, they get royalties, therefore it's perfectly legal and agreed between both parties.

[tomd2103]

Love the song and the video. Been trying to work out for a few days now what the storyline in the video is. Any ideas?

[organaphus]

@tomd2103 Apparently, it's about a man who becomes obsessed with social networking, and is then oblivious to everything happening around him.

[austinpowerswanabe]

once again my musical hero comes through again

[TimDuncanDhu]

Finding out about this just saved my day!! Class!

[iyers]

[MegaMartey]

[kukialex6]

Absolutely perfect work! My all times favourite video!!!! I love the pictures always with best angles, the type of flick (reminds me of Fuji Reala) with beautiful red tones, the use of selective DOF throughout the whole video, the storyline, the characters, the Mediterranean flair and last but not least the song. So please keep them coming!

[bisgedyn]

[wilkatron]

@Skyclad65 definately a good thing

[FriendlyHenry]

Love it! What's the old '60s song that comes in right at the end. I know it but can't place it... help!!

[rosco82]

@FriendlyHenry It's Rick Nelson - It Doesn't Matter Anymore.....that repeating sax or horn is also taken from this

[rosco82]

actually, my mistake, it's taken from the Cyrkle version

[tjprops]

lovely tjune

[mwnciful]

@saraban8 We are the merlin crew!

[mwnciful]

@kkma1171 The red thing in his hand was an electronic "toy"released in the late 70's.It was seen as the poorer mans Simon,when in fact it was superior.

[sarabran8]

I LOVE this, Gruff is such an amazing musician bloke! And I had one of those Merlin's too. Showing my age now though! Can't wait to see him on tour in a couple of weeks xxx

And what' the guy below going on about?????? Dur!!!

[me1onhead]

[matlaroche]

[Skyclad65]

Why does this remind me of the Gorillaz's music? Love it since heard it on radio 3 days ago.

[kkma1171]

What's the red thing in his hand at 1.28 please?

[vincentlillis]

@kkma1171 What are those things people have that they push things into and sometimes speak into? I don't know my back from my backside.

[kkma1171]

@vincentlillis not cool.

[vincentlillis]

@kkma1171 I was only messing around, it could be an actual instrument.

[kkma1171]

@vincentlillis Me too!! Merlin i want one now.
