[mortiphago]

tycho brought me here.

[GraceSimmonds13]

I thought this would be a cheerful song when I first listened to it. What a pleasant surprise! 'But I can't take your perpetual whining, and you can't sing eh eh eh eh eh eh eh'

[jimreid5]

i find this song disturbing

[rawkus1167]

This album will never die - us indie kids will be listening to this till we're old and gray!

[buddawiggi]

gaawwwwd this is awful

[jpeasye33]

this is song is beautiful. the magnetic fields lyrics are just outstanding. they nail everyday life. they make me imagine how life really is and how life can be. INCREDIBLE.

[dancedance182]

I covered this song on ukulele but I'm too camera shy to put it on YouTube :C Also I feel this song with just female vocals wasn't as good, obviously NOTHING IS AS GOOD AS THE MAGNETIC FIELDS.

[MagnumRoyalty]

@dancedance182 put it up!

[dancedance182]

@MagnumRoyalty Thanks for the encouragement. Perhaps I will when I work on it a little more. Also, small world. I'm from Hammy, Canada too!

[robman8855]

is this an amazing song?... yeah oh yeah

[8scatterbrain8]

was my whole life just a lie?

yeah! oh, yeah!

[nechirwansito]

biggest shit

[TheHalftimelord]

I like the part where it goes "Yeah, oh yeah!"

[IdiotSlayer]

@TheHalftimelord Yeah?

[geoffreybeene]

I like this song, but does all that distortion on the guitar really add to it?

[chicagoitalo]

@geoffreybeene YES!

[Marchofdapigz]

@geoffreybeene i love it

[pencildives]

@geoffreybeene That is reverb

[BEATTYDT]

This IS a great song. I am trying to get into the rest of Mag Fields and I hear to start with this album. It is decent... I cant decide if I like them. I do like their exploration with different formulae. Not stale at all!

[Smarigdine]

Saw them in concert a few years ago and it was amazing!

[MimmieMimmie]

This has come to be one of my favorites on this album.

[MimmieMimmie]

@fruitoftheTree Really bro? 21th century?

[777FiLo]

I love their lyrics although I'm not especially fond of the music...

[FruitoftheTree]

Stephen Merrit is easily one of the best lyricists of the last 2oth and early 21th centuries. Every song he writes is quite cleverly composed, can't wait for the new album, eat it, it tastes better raw!!!

[1991stacy]

The Magnetic Fields make my life complete. I have no idea how I ever lived without them.

My favourite part is: What a dark and dreary life. Are you reaching for a knife? Could you really kill your wife? Yeah! Oh yeah!

[BeWaTer99]

Mine: "Oh I die, I die, I die! So it's over you and I. Was my whole life just a lie? Yeah, oh yeah!"

:)

[jwalsman]

Agreed!!

and..."...do you want to break my heart? Yeah, oh Yeah!"

[IamWalterBenjamin]

@BeWaTer99 Mine is "Is it true you just don't care? Are you having an affair? Yeah, oh yeah!"

[kellmano1]

Brilliant indeed. Can you not stand me at all? Yeah, oh yeah. I like the live at Cambridge version as well.

[stephag4]

i love this song

[carynat0rs]

Mm, one of my favourites.

I'm glad to see someone finally put up the recorded version of this song; Stephin Merritt is a genius, and this song is just hysterically funny.

I simply cannot get enough.

[BeWaTer99]

Yes, it's kinda odd that nobody had uploaded it before ( I could only find the "live at cambridge" version)

[Palafico3]

not true someone else posted it before. it was called "The Magnetic Fields' Yeah! Oh, Yeah! by Patrício Torres"

[michaelmikelmicc]

haha i would like to comment here but i can't say anything more than what you already have...
