[mach5jeep]

This is an all around kick butt ROCK song. I don't understand why it didn't get more air play.

[ShakeItLikeAPoleroid]

From the days when music videos were still shot on camera phones.

[febechita]

RIP TAI.... i miss ur music....

[ashladee13]

omg! Sisky's hair!!!

[fairyphantom]

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I refuse to believe The Academy Is... was, maybe they're not together but it's still The Academy Is...

[ilubbeingaredhead]

Gah I thumbs downed something when I meant to thumbs up it...and it won't let me change it....TAI forever <3

[AwkwardMonstersTV]

Aw, TAI we all miss you :(

[michellouisey]

:( come baaaaaaaaaaaack

[JaceCaan]

Don't tell me it's over

Don't kiss me goodbye

Here we are

Am I taking this too hard?

Don't say it's easy

The hardest part is leaving

Don't you wonder why

I'm devasted..TAI forever

[bvbgirlwright]

Man, all the videos from Fueled By Ramen have the same quality. O_o

[bvbgirlwright]

I'm watching all the TAI vids right now. :|

[KidWithABulletSoul]

So heartbroken right now :(

[xKRBSx]

OMG I CANT BELIEVE THIS… I CAN'T STOP CRYING AND PLAYING EVERY VIDEO THEY EVER MADE :(

[foxcub156]

LONG LIVE THE ACADEMY IS...!!!!!!

[PublicMenace22]

entertaining music video

[xxPatdxRockzxx]

This was my first ever TAI song, and it will always be my favourite. Almost Here and Santi were amazing albums.

[ChutesandJammers]

WoW! Hell Yeah!!! Love The Academy Is...Been listening to a lot of TAI, Hey You!, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Sick Puppies, Blink-182, and The Used...

Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaaaay dope. Pop/Rock/Punk with a real cool edge. Plus they've got a pretty cute chick singer :-) ...check em out...

search "hey you band taking over"

[simonson9898]

@ChutesandJammers You sir/mam have an amazing taste in music XD

[undercoveremo008]

2:46 THEY DROPPED HIS ASS FLAT XD  also carden with his girlfriend i assume, playign guitar is adorible as shit.

[kyzafish]

I haven't listened to this song in 5 years and I still remember every word <3

[EvieFace]

this is when i first fell in love. oh hello, nostalgia, high school days, my first love william <3

[mushopoke]

Favorite song for sure ♥

[MarsxxG]

This amazing song/video was posted in July 2006 and still not even a million views? The FUCK?!

[peezybeezysheezydeez]

@MarsxxG thats a good thing...considering when good bands go mainstream they turn to shit... for example, this band...

[casey15lettis]

I like how this song is mostly about sex and then there is no sex in the video....or even a friggin girl?!

[StefyAwesome1]

William Beckett is a lefty like me :D <3

[tootsiexpop]

I see the '...' as a symbol of this band. they didn't give a fuck and let us label them how we want. then the '...' kind of dropped and they got all cutesy. still love you all the same <3

[oasisthekillers]

lol. matt smith lookalike :')

[Deecupcakez]

mike is so so so so cute :)

[xoXSlothsXox]

The academy is.... happieness in a bottle <3

[MEST12]

first song I heard by them bought the cd became a life-long fan maybe just of almost here though because nothing tops it in their catalogue. santi is different style it kind of works, and there is nothing good about barrington high, a few catchy songs but they really need to put their energy into more c.d.s like ALMOST HERE

[MEST12]

@MEST12 i take back what i said lol. just listened through every cd all of them are great in their own way.

[MeggieCook]

loooooooooooooove this song. classic!

[AshleyGreenelyWTF]

TAI and Your Favorite Franchise = :]

[carrielile]

lol. I love this band but does anyone else agree like A LOT of the Fueled By Ramen bands are totally goofy and ADORABLE?

[JuliaGhostX3]

@carrielile & a lot of them tend to break up, too

[VampireHeirXIII]

LMAO. 1:53 Mike, that is SO CUTE! :D

[HippiePower3]

This dude is like orgasmic <3

[Fleedmn]

This video is like a picture find game. Where is the bathtub? How about a black girl? How about William beckett maybe kissing sisky? How about a horse?

[foshizzle394]

raping the replay button...

[omgaliowns]

this album, this video, this SONG is the reason i'm completely in love with the academy is. true story.

[XOmytubeXO]

i just randomly remembered that me and william have the same birthday :) ahh its nice to think of sharing my birthday with such a sweetheart

anyways back to what i meant to say; great song, love TAI!

[mandymcr88]

almost here is an epic album.. every single song on it is perfect.. I like them all.. in the same way.. is one of my favorite albums so far.. and is the best one from TAI... :) a freaking fast video.. love it

[twilightluv11]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 1:39

EPIC. :D

[shopgirl926]

William Beckett is going to be performing at The Arboretum of South Barrington on Nov. 27th @ 5pm!!!

[JohnnySuckss]

0:43 pete wentz ftw

[XXPAtDxoxBrendonUrie]

the butcher and sisky are so adorable :D

but if i do say so myself, adam looks better with short hair(:

[BlinkmeRG]

the bridge at 2:05 sounds so sick

[TheFTSKBABE]

i miss crazy bill and his hair :( i love him so so much

[brittysaywhat]

I used to love this band. Periodically, I go back through and listen to music that I used to listen to when I was like 14.

I'm not saying they're bad. I'm saying my tastes changed. I still think he's adorable and I want to hug him, but I'm so afraid I'd break his scrawny ass.

[BlinkmeRG]

the bridge is so sick

[magdelaina]

2:21

[yohl3gen]

boy band faggots.

[dragoncrazed12]

@yohl3gen music-hating morons. (Ya see what I did there?)

[ThatEmoGirl4]

I love how William is like 8, 9, 10, etc. years older than almost all of us, and that has no effect on the fact that we all still want to fuck him.

Jussayin :D

[8cmn]

@ThatEmoGirl4 Sure, he's in his mid-twenties, but he could definitely still pass for jailbait. I'm pretty sure there's a picture of him in an attic somewhere, wasting away.

[XxAlexEatsFoodxX]

lmao. bilvy sleeping 1:53

[SydShel96]

Who's the chick? :/.

[Mitchii96]

who could dislike it?

[shazzah199708]

tomrad :(

[badkitti811]

i love william beckett^^

and besides that this is a fucking kick ass song:D and am i the only who noticed that they snuck in gabe saporta?? thats fangirl heaven right there:D

[superluigi92]

this video clarifies to me

that these guys got alot of chicks and one night stands under their belt on their debuet album tour! hell yeah! score points for TAI!

[pierrotandharlequin]

What show was 2:12 ?

[Dolpodex]

2:30 Who the fuck is Bill licking ? xD

[nothingstillyet]

@Dolpodex bhahahah xD

[Dolpodex]

Is that Gabe Saporta who sits with William and Mike at 2:18 ?

Anyway, Sisky's hair was awesome :'D

[WeIshNotOkay]

cowboy hat. xD he's billy the kid. xP

[sdgal12]

took me a looooong long time to get into this song.

[loginhere101]

Is that Mr. Gabriel Saporta at :43 ? William is so hot

[twilightluv11]

sweet hat willy!!!!(:

[Mercipourlevenin777]

ah. <3. they were the best alt. band thats come out in awhile.....

but they changed their sound. =/

but i still <3 them. =]

[sdgal12]

@Mercipourlevenin777 theyre a little more bubble gum.

still good :]

[PartyLikeAPoptart97]

GAHHH. I love them. :3

I'd be a lot of fun hanging out with them for a day. :]

[kcab95]

hahaha look at william at 1:41

[twilightluv11]

@kcab95 ahahaha. (that laugh resembled peter griffins). sexay beast.(:

[TheAvengerCA]

I love this song so much. I remember watching it on Fuse On Demand a few years ago, I'm glad I found it again! :D

[bjcck]

I am not of fan of this genre/type of rock but I have to admit The Academy Is,,... = pure awesome. I decided to watch this video after not having watched it since like my sophmore year in college and I am remembering why I like them before. I am jammin out right now!!!

[NICJEN2008]

i love the SRV hat!!!!!!!!

[JillianLuvsYuu]

I Wish I Was Their Friend

:D Hes So Sexy

But He Looks WAY Hotter In About A Girl

[cheshireross]

I fucking love William. Damn hot sexy bastard.

[JocelynHollywood]

Its really weird without Chislett haha

[1800InYourDreams]

teehee =) he's left-handed.

[SaRahLoVeSwIlLiAm123]

I missed Sisky's hair D:

[Puppies4everr]

Me:

10- 'Omi gawd.. He's so perfect @_@'

11- 'Who's he? o.o'

12- "Omg asian pop stuff >>"

13- "OMG WILLIAM OMG.OMIGAWD. OMIGAWD.! I love you 8D'

[TheKaiviolet]

This was the first song I heard by them, I love it!

[sTrIpEsRfUn]

I <3 THEM TO DEATH!!!!!

[XXILoveAMrotek7XX]

@TranceFreya I think it Santi and Almost Here's lyrics were more clever and in-depth than the ones on Fast Times. Fast Times was basically about their high school days.

[veggemite]

@XXILoveAMrotek7XX

i agree. fast times was kinda cliche in a way, i liked some of the tracks but their old stuff had more depth and stuff lol

[XXILoveAMrotek7XX]

@veggemite THANK you. lol plus the beats were sicker on the first two albums.

[XXILoveAMrotek7XX]

i don't know what happened to their music. I still love them, but the new EP and Fast Times were WAY different from Santi and Almost here. I love their old material.

btw, did William kiss sisky??!?! O_e

[Fleedmn]

@XXILoveAMrotek7XX Where are you seeing him maybe kiss sisky?

[XXILoveAMrotek7XX]

@Fleedmn Bill looked like he kissed sisky on 2:12-2:14. Idk if he did though.

[johanthepirate]

For being shitty pop-rock, they aren't bad.

[turk2336]

do they really have to fit in pete every at every opportunity? wow lol

[ashoftomorrow]

they showed pete like twice? i've seen this video probably 50 times, they don't show him very much. they happen to have been really good friends with him since before either band. mike was supposed to be the second guitarist in Fall Out Boy. plus, they show travis and disashi from gym class heroes way more than they show pete. they were just putting their friends in, stop whining for no reason.

[xxwhatsleftdies42xx]

I still love TAI but once I heard the EP it sounded way to much like fast times I hate it but maybe they will change again who knows...

[FreezeDridRomance]

I totally agree. I am still in love with Almost Here and probably always will be. Nothing compares to Almost Here.

[mculver7]

I personally think "Santi" gives "Almost Here" a run for its money. I don't know if I could ever choose between those two albums.

[atrapforfools]

cardennnnn

[chickenstickonahorse]

this song is so good. and the bandana around the knee is really cool i like it

[AFITotalImortal]

dude this song is tight!

[Lexsamonster]

i miss listening to these guys soo much. after Fast Times At Barrington High i pretty much quit on them cause that cd was just terrible...

[tyallover]

I respectfully disagree, the album is good over all, a few of the songs lack in certain areas, but several of the songs, lyrically at least are fantastic

[Lexsamonster]

they just don't sound like the same band anymore, though i see your point they lyrics are good just the sound itself for me wasn't.

[mculver7]

I think their "scene" changed and they were just trying to figure out where they fit in musically. I'll admit that I dislike that album more and more every time I listen to it, but it's still 10x better than anything else being done in pop punk/emo music.

[blessthefallenfailur]

This is the only song I'm not to impressed with out of all there albums and EPs

[nicolexxxd]

I remember when I first saw this video back in 2005, it got stuck in my head and I fell in love with TAI. Still a big fan today!

[notnormalgirl713]

Same here.

[Ffairy5]

omg i can't believe these were all unblocked!!!! i love you guys!!! thank you so much!!!!

[sheeeselectriccx]

memories!

[zizzylove101]

okayy...wowz.

this is just kinda sorta amazingg.

also, around 2:30, has no one else noticed the knee licking that bill does?

[imnochicken08]

omg i love them

and they look so happy

william is soooo freaking hot!!

is he gay? i heard he was and i need to know!!

[HannahCutie211878]

@imnochicken08 he's not gay... he just went out with gabe saporta like a year or two ago... but yes... i agree... he's so freakin hott!!!!!!!!!!! lol... and they do look super happy!

[mothwing6]

1:41, is that Mike Carden in the bathtub?! :D

[XoAnNaBaNaNa11oX]

so take your cold cold heart & drown...[besst linne ever]

[imdoigmastodon]

i want mike carden stay away!!! :)

[zefronfan1]

No one understands how much I want William Beckett(:

[kennychezgrl]

same.same.same.same.same.

[taylertorture]

@zefronfan1 i think i do :3

[EvieFace]

@zefronfan1 i do! i was seriously in loveee with him, for the entirety of my time in high school.

[xxxyouKNOWittxxx]

@zefronfan1 i bet his wife understands it...

[villesangel69]

awesome!

[sesshomarussecretlov]

omg they dropped bilve then he fell in another part

[musiclover1672001]

the academy is one of the best around along with the band Annasay. I discovered Annasay on itunes recently though, but they have quickly become a favorite too

[jephalove]

OMG AT 2:48 THEY DROPPED WILLIAM xD

[FueledByFrancescaFOB]
