[bzephyrene]

[manalore]

Nicolas Winding Refn. He won Best Director at Cannes this year for the film "Drive", starring Ryan Gosling. Mewx.info has more about that :)

Nice vid. Some little shots of Jonas and Bo make me scream!! <3

[alive1nr49]

Their first video, made espacially for the program, I had never heard them at that time before, so I thought it was a girl singing.. Cool song, but Frengers and all the songs from there, especially Snowbrigade are fantastic..Their new stuff is too experimental for me, and distortion on the guitar is gone which they used on Frengers, their best album..But great band and musicians!! And this is written by a death metal fanatic..Skål røvhuller ;)

Greetings from South of Heaven..

[dashassfrost]

Oh oh oh, "little" Jonas looks so amazingly fun here ^_^ Nice vid :)

[danieeel31]

Oh the MP3, it's some girl talking in the beginning, do anyone know what she's saying? ''Shin shang hong hei, shin shan han hei, shin sha, shin sha. Comota, como tate!''

I have no idea if that's right, I don't talk chinease (?) at all :p

[Emberland]

@danieeel31 I asked an old friend from Hong Kong once, and she said that it was a child reading a recipe aloud for something (Soup, perhaps?). I can't remember if she said that it was Mandarin or Cantonese, though.

[peacerr123]

@Emberland It was Cantonese

[ReeNaissance]

Is this the official video? Cool anyway. Chinese is interesting :D

[alive1nr49]

@ReeNaissance Yes, it´s their very first song on video, made for danish television, thats why it´s such a low budget video + they were not known by many at that time..

[crayfl]

They look so young in this video, from the few seconds they can be seen.

[E3tiger]

'when i caaal you up!'

[mctsubi]

im guessing that its probably the cantonese pronounciation for the chinese characters which is "teen chart". it's a chinese herb used to cool down the body. it looks like a dandelion except that the upper portion of the plant is more solid.

[romansampo]

Hurrah! Another Mew Mystery solved! not sure the "tsin tsai" is the Cantonese pronunciation... should be more like "teen chat" (as read by an English speaker)

[Snowlit123]

田=field 七=seven

But when 田七 combined together , i think in english it is called "Sanchi"

Panax notoginseng is its Botanical Name

it can be used as medicine

i am a chinese +.+y

[spacegravity]

Tsin-tsi it's a soothing Chinese herb!!

I finally found it haha :D

I supose that the english or american name for this herb is "field seven", that's why it didn't make sense :)

[spacegravity]

Ohh i wonder how this video could be now, i mean, if Mew decided to make another version :)

Acording to a tranlator, "田七" means "field seven", but it doesn't make any sense to me. Does anyone knows what "田七" really means? ._.

[brightkelly]

tsin tsi 田七 in chinese characters, tsin tsi is the cantonese pronunciation of the word. mandarin pronunciation is "tian qi". It is some sort of chinese herb.

[qjtg]

thank you! Eventually I know what"tsin tsi" means!! I'm from Taiwan, I thought it is 芹菜 before XD

[pinkstrawberry455]

Ok cute video...<3 but, yeah, what is tsin-tsi?? Could anyone tell me...well...us??

LOVE MEW!!!

[natadechocolate]

weird but let's sing all together tsin-tsi haha love mew jonas you rule!!

[apalahartisebuahnama]

yeah what's the meaning of tsin tsi?

[krkzz]

btw what is a tsin-tsi

[E3tiger]

I Love this song!

Just wondering why mew use alot of chinese or japanese words in their songs, like in this, and also in no shadow kick.

I just dont understand.

[account76]

>3 cuz us asians are awesome

Lol. nah...-cough-

It's sorta like how the english world are fascinated with chinese characters for tattoos, or the anime phenomena.

I suppose they're jus' like the rest of us who don't care what people think of us, be us nerds, fangirls, religious, rappers, rockers, etc. >P

[shrewdlee]

i don't know what made Mew shoot a video like this...but it's amusing though. I like the song better. (Silas looks clueless...and Johan's scary...)

[shesblindfolded]

uhh, weird. hahahah. so random!

[rockcirkus1]

cool like it!!!

[Icarusangel27]

I LOVE MEW! I don't know how you guys could not like this video, you can't assume things will always makes sense with Mew. You just have to goo with the floow. XD

[jacketeer]

okay wow this is the most random mew vid i've ever seen.

what to do, what to do.

I KNOW, let's watch a funny man cook, and also, let's have random people sing tsin tsi in bad lighting!

BRILLIANT.

lmao i love mew so much.

[Greeneggy]

Ive been searching for this video for about a decade, finally found it thanks KnockerdElf. I used to have it on VHS ive searched through hundred of mine looking for it, I first saw it on Burly Bear an underground college tv network here in the US, it is what got me hooked on mew.

[Icarusangel27]

Hehee...KnockerdElf is my best friend >_<

[Angorakolibri]

to idealflaw.. Its from the album "A Triump for a man"

Hehe, its not the best video.. But funny ..

[idealflaw]

what album is this from? it's charming!

[mootbooxle]

The video pretty much fits the song. I've always thought it was a pretty strange song anyway.

[depressdepress]

is that the video?? fuckk!! how can it be like this...im gonna cry now.

[elizah106]

umm.. probably the oddest mew-vid ever though!

i can't see the idea of this.. don't know should i laugh or cry :D

[Michala156]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO how tacky lol
