Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses

[ShezadK]

How anyone can dislike this song is beyond me.

[theinternetareboring]

If there was a God, and he had a voice, it would be this song.

[arhodo]

Alex looks so sexy

[brooklync3]

Aw man, I thought Alex was was wearing suit-jamas Stinson style. Disappointed.

[rose7art]

by far my favourite song by them

[TetoFujoshi]

This should have 100x the views.

[hippycayote]

must find beautifukdisaster007's comment....

[killroyoneal]

@ZeppiGrunge98 @beautifuldisaster007 How can you be so hostile when listening to this band? Both of you need to just listen to the song and chill, man.

[sgtB0Otheals]

how fuckin high are they?

[ModernHolmes]

Something about this song makes me feel....awesome.

[GaaraSands16]

I love their shoes :) 

[KB71796]

I find it very hot when they run through the desert. Mmmm. <3

[mklawson117]

lets get high

[AngieEnz84]

Mmmm. Alex rolling around on a bed in a rumpled up suit with his hair tousled. Yeah, baby.

Fantastic song, too. Another catchy one from these guys.

[thewrathofbombast]

They all look like crap here, but god, Franz Ferdinand is still the best band of the new millennium. The only thing worth listening to these days.

[seeressjera]

GTFO of here katy perry, eminem and more!

[OHYESTONYDANZA]

@seeressjera

>Katy Perry

>Eminem

What do those to have to do with each other?

[seeressjera]

@OHYESTONYDANZA It was the border around the video

[onfloater94]

I am well aware that I'm not worthy to even listen to this band, let alone watch their music videos.

[MrLastride70]

its not 2:25 its 1:25 thats evil genius

[Gravelrally1]

SO underrated...

[MrZombiescordo]

2: 25 so evil

[leeboot]

So trippy to the album!

[SpongebobsABoss]

Why do people act like ads are a big deal. have you not learned to get over them by now!?!?!? Fucking pathetic....

[coombop1]

@SpongebobsABoss Don't forget to wipe your chin...

[bwobby1]

golburn valley fruity quencher is full o fruity FUCKING SHUT UP NESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[goldmoogle]

listen to this with headphones on, you'll hear a lot of splits in the sound

[TheKellyLo]

The beginning of this song sounds an awful lot like Spoon's I Turn My Camera On. Love it nonetheless :)

[artzhdz]

@TheKellyLo i thought that same thing!

[ZeppiGrunge98]

Alex looks hott pretending to be high, imagine when he's really high? :)

[Roxxi33]

@ZeppiGrunge98 ah, but he's attractive all the time

[ZeppiGrunge98]

@Roxxi33 I know lol

[beautifuldisaster007]

Last tour I met Alex after the show and he flirted with me. I put a lingering kiss on his neck before I left but I freaked out in my head because I wasn't expecting him to react to me. Next time I won't be so shy

[ZeppiGrunge98]

@beautifuldisaster007 You should start that comment with a "I wish--

[beautifuldisaster007]

@ZeppiGrunge98 Look who's jealous

[ZeppiGrunge98]

I would be if it was truee@beautifuldisaster007

[beautifuldisaster007]

@ZeppiGrunge98 You can think what you want, 14 yr old. You can only dream while I experienced it.

[ZeppiGrunge98]

May be 14 but I definitely have more knowledgeable logic then you. You can assume whatever you want doll, and you experienced shit because if this was true, you would think before you posted this; you clearly said this for others to think wow, but am not convinced and nor am I jealous. @beautifuldisaster007

[beautifuldisaster007]

@ZeppiGrunge98 Actually I was just sharing a story. but if I knew bitter teenyboppers such as yourself would get so mad, I wouldn't have. It's not a big deal

[ZeppiGrunge98]

Right because every argument ends like this, saying yeah I'm done arguing with you, I know people don't like to hear the truth doll

@beautifuldisaster007 

[reditacken]

@ZeppiGrunge98 chill

[femaleplayer101]

@ZHOMBIFIED because most people are idiots and are stuck listening to that shit they call music.

[femaleplayer101]

Bob looks like he's sad, Nick just looks like freak, Paul looks scared, and Alex is the one that really looks wasted.

and who wouldnt wanna get high with Alex?

[SupBub16]

ok that commercial was creepy

[MrIsotrope]

I don't mind seeing the Chuck Norris ad for WoW before this track.

[osopolar720]

Hate Kit Kat? Try the Ritter bar.

[MoxyMan1]

ide party with these guys!



[Jaredman68]

fuck kit kat

[4x00th]

Anyone else dance while walking?

[Reaverisgrovy]

If i met these guys like they were in this video, id run away screaming...

[IGNIITED]

Franz Ferdinand has mad swag.

[GreatGrayBlot]

take me out made me aware of this band's existence. but this song made me fall in love. dear. this is amazing.

[Gustavomazu]

This song deserves at least 10 million views.

[iwantfreepopcorn]

2: 51 Dating Site Murderer?!

[AndrizzleProductions]

15 people out there who never going home

[emmaphobe418]

I hate how everyone thinks Franz Ferdinand is a singer and not a band!

[mauledbyagorilla]

@emmaphobe418 ... not to mention Franz Ferdinand is an Austrian Duke or something like that which makes it that much worse.

[You2ubeTool]

I think it is possible Franz Ferdinand are the greatest band on earth.

[kioplqwerty]

i wanna get high

[vicissitudes93]

This song makes me want to buy white shoes :)

[angel51431]

sad Bob is so sad!

[bbbaaalll1]

"ONE DAY I'LL BE A"-- "SHUT THE FUUUCK UP!"

[Kashtin577]

The entire song plays well...until the last second. It fucking buffers on the last second.

>_<

[xoxoparamore123]

I didn't know that's what they were saying.......(:

[Naumovification]

hell yeah, last night was blast!

All the best,

[stoneonthewater]

This song makes me so happy

[SarcasmIsNOTNeeded]

This was on my Alternative Love playlist. Now Franz Ferdinand got so awesome that I made a separate playlist called Franz Ferdinand.

[mackles]

cool as fuck

[MikVahnRose]

@ricoMGMT Even if a band has more views due to the radio that doesnt make the fans anyless fake. music can be appreciated by everyone. And Franz Ferdinand should become more known than some of the shitty artist(s) we have now

[madmax1509]

why does everyone hate vevo free music supports the band and you can get an ad blocker

[bigv226]

Lets advertise pitbull on a franz ferdinand vid, smart idea

[ashiftiperson]

@bigv226 They know there aduance very well...

[lovefromeponine]

@bigv226 mine was for cage the elephant. not bad.

[CodyConquers]

@bigv226 Get adblocker. I've already forgotten ads existed in youtube.

[ParanormalityTheBand]

ULYSSES!!!!!

[VictoryAsIAm]

This was the first Franz song I heard. Bought their albums immediately, and they have been my favorite band since. So wonderful.

[FranzFanFerdinand]

@VictoryAsIAm better late than never.

[SOLEDADBRAVO1]

vevo is advertising ALLL OVER THE DAM site and still has ads at the beginning of the video

[snotrod7]

Everyonw hates Vevo, but they PAY for youtube.

[nigeljudice]

Ulysses S. Grant?

[LakerCam84]

@nigeljudice nope, Ulysses is the roman name for the greek mythologiacal hero Odysseus.

[CAlexandriaR1]

@nigeljudice thats what I thought too

[GothicGamersINC]

I'm not Ulysses

[DanBlabbers]

Am I Ulysses?

[ProSyndicate]

For people who complain about Vevo and Ads.

Firefox- Adblock.

Problem solved.

[haxer69]

@ProSyndicate works w/ chrome also :D

[veryhighsamurai]

@ProSyndicate shhh dont tell anyone :)

[v3nom1214]

@ProSyndicate It's also on Chrome too people!! :D

[iacthulu]

@ProSyndicate shhhh!

[thextemporaryxsaint]

@ProSyndicate Damn it, I thought I wasn't gonna have to give anyone else a medal today...

[gbroification]

fucking awesome why is nobody commenting on the awesomeness

[deadboygreen81]

i am Ulysses so fuck u all

[ashiftiperson]

god dam it.

this is god dam comments not a fucking forum. Vevo sucks ass. Thats a fucking shocker. Now please if your going to bitch, BITCH TO GOD DAM VEVO! that way they will fucking know you're bitching.

[maximumkhaki]

The next Dr. Who!

[Kookenoo]

i don't even hate vevo

[highlander818]

Adblock plus people. Seriously, you derps stop bitching about stuff you have control over. Get off your lazy asses and look for a solution if you hate vevo. If you're running firefox or group, go into your addons and get Adblock plus. Vevo ads dissappear, and it's perfectly legit, it's built in to your browsers. Cuz figurin stuff out is hard....

[Thespilloftroy]

why the fuck am i getting spanish ads

[iRockharder]

happy! @ 1:49

[hungie2]

men



[haeandbae]

Why the fuck does this only have 334, 278 views....

[PeachesRulestheWorld]

I'm addicted to this song. Just so I can sing, "Am I Ulysses? Am I Ulysses? No, but you are now boooy." :P

[LeGreenGazelle]

Fook me that's good.

[TehAWAL]

LOL i love how everyone is all omg fuck vevo they suck but they dont know vevo is just to promote and provide free music and all people do is fucking complain and assosiate vevo with all the record companies which vevo has nothing to do with..

[jayindie93]

@TehAWAL

The folks are just bothered by the fact that it impedes their ability to watch videos on demand when YOU want to see them, without a 30-second intro, that's all. It can grow tiresome, but heck, what can we do?

[TehAWAL]

@jayindie93 oh its the ads everyone hates? i never see the ads cause i have adblock for google chrome i never have to see ads

[jayindie93]

@TehAWAL

Everyone has their own reason for complaining, I suppose. But I thank you for bringing up that point- people tend to complain sometimes without reason, but it's important that we have some perspective on the matter.

[lischell]

your never going HOME

[jukboxification]

I FUCKING love his shoes.

[highlander818]

adblock plus people...seriously, how have you people not heard about this by now? Both Chrome and Firefox have it, just search for it under your addons menu in your tool bars, it's a perfectly safe legal program built right into your browsers. I haven't seen a Vevo ad since I installed it around xmas time. You're welcome XD.

[BurnedAtSunrise]

who gives a fuck about vevo; listen to the music

[mickycee64]

Come on lets get....light em up..

[TheBIGGMAN27]

The fisrt few seconds of the guy walking is just so...fitting.

[lucky795]

my favorite song of theirs. Wow and it took me 2 years to see there was a video :(

[FranzFanFerdinand]

@lucky795 hehe I was one of the first to view and comment. maybe because im obsessed :)

[Fwixeh]

Really good at the junky look, eh?

[Vegetarianninjafreak]

What a great video. And a great song. I like the varying lighting and the use of color. I wonder what city this is supposed to be set in?

[SuperlativeCinema]

@Vegetarianninjafreak

It's L.A. bro

[vertigo001]

The director of this music video really depicts the sense of paranoia really well... or is it that because I'm high right now, I tend to correlate that with my perspective....anyways, my point is, i need to stop smoking : |

[Boarderforlife15]

Ulyssess died in my back yard. Wikipedia it. I live in Wilton/Saratoga Springs NY.

[BigFanJimCarrey23]

EPIC



[philsnk]

You guys need a cigarette. Lay off that crest teeth whitener.

[m3ngnificient]

less than 500000 views?!!!!! wtf? I have listened to this a million times!

[lfcuruguay19]

lets get high

[kaitos78]

0:07 Lulz at the sticker on the payphone that says "Am I Ulysses?"

[mauicoconuts]

I found out way back that I'm not Ulysses

[Megg248]

Ulysses is also a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson about Ulysses' return from the Trojan War. He came home and decided he was bored. He would rather die out at sea than bear his boring life at home. This song bears a strong resemblance to this poem.

[lemurwolf]

@Megg248 True, and Alex did make reference to that poem as an inspiration for this song in an interview.

[fantasticfish96]

everyone stop bitching, youtube is giving you free video watching at the small price of having to watch a short ad ob certain vids. besides, not nearly as many people complain about tv commercials and thats because we're used to them. really, its not much of an inconvenience.

[Dabrenn13]

@fantasticfish96 thats great and all, but youtube used to give away free video watching at no price whatever.

[TheMartini1234]

Alex still looks really classy as a douche. Lol.

[1224140994]

"c'mon lets get hi..." buffering

FUUUUCK

[atheistspongebob]

that bass is sexy

[1michelemichele1]

/watch?v=yhErP7Kmvho



[JVergura]

In the 80s we had Duran Duran. Our kids have Franz Ferdinand. The circle of life continues

[EmBotBeepBeep]

Alex is the king of "fuck me" eyes.

[whatstephanie]

fuck you VEVO!!

im gonna find a new way to kill you

[fufuhugs]

i love how they made this about Odysseus XD

[sleepcity]

I keep trying to sing the verse but it comes out like this:

"I turn my camera on / I cut my fingers on the way!"

[Lettrikanatina]

@sleepcity Haha, I was thinking the same thing. The beat was throwing me off in the begining... ah, Spoon : )

[macapplecam]

Great Song! Anyone else hate when the video has loaded but the add hasn't? Yeah...

[VVoodison]

FUCK RISE AGAINST

[TheAdamlevinelover]

Alex, Nick, Paul, and Bob look HOT!!!!! ;)

[utube2344]

why do these ad people really think that we are going to want to buy or be interested in their shit when everyones just counting down until theyr gone.

[HotKnives4]

Franz Ferdinand never disappoints, and they'll get you hiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh!!

[evilgooch69]

useless

[forust98]

soooo ulysses is a greek god?

[TheDarkLettuce]

@forust98 Ulysses is a Greek Hero who went and him and Achilles basically destroyed Troy after 10 years of hard fighting. On the the journey home he encounters alot of challenges and the journey takes him 20 years

[mybigpenandstuff]

@forust98 And an Ex-President

[cenrockon01]

can some1 explain to me what this song is about?!?!?!?!? i just dont understand. i dont see how ulysses comes in with getting high...and just.......aahhh i dont understand

[TheDarkLettuce]

@cenrockon01 He was addicted to drugs and it was taking him a long time to get well again.

[upstart281]

wow! what a coincidence Franz Ferdinand! I too have been found running through the desert!

[inuyashu1235]

Honestly they are probably referencing James Joyce's Ulysses.

[washwellow]

This song is total sexiness.

[NicaneCreedX]

Great song. Fuck Vevo.

[fallenpumpkinhead]

Fuck right when this song came out I was tripping balls everyday. That whole Ulysses metaphor worked perfectly. I never thought I would make it back to the land of living after all I had seen and been through.

"You're not Ulysses." (Cuz he makes it home)

[gammasonic]

HAHAHA HOLYSHIT ULYSSES IS MY NAME AND MY LAST NAME IS MOSELY LIKE THE SONG FROM AUGUST BURNS RED spelt the exact same way!!!

[gammasonic]

HAHAHA HOLYSHIT ULYSSES IS MY NAME

[xealiot]

i heard 3seconds of the fucking song and it lags.....blow me Vevo that is the only way to gain favor with me

[BCoy2Pacman]

Very

Organization

[aliceandshaggy]

@BCoy2Pacman Dood. Do you realize what you've done?!

You've just written a very true/awesome comment! :)

[BCoy2Pacman]

@aliceandshaggy Viva la utube Revolution

[pickachuuuuu]

@BCoy2Pacman whys every1 hating on vevo??? i like seeing my music videos as opposed to dumb amvs with crudy quality and artists put a lot of work into their music videos!!!!!

[ravsmpsn]

@pickachuuuuu Then actually give the artist credit and visit their channel.

[chrislarson15]

@BCoy2Pacman Yes, a Very Evil Video Organization that ensures that artists you love make the money they deserve. Without advertising, the bands you listen to wouldn't get as much money, so they wouldn't have the funding to keep making your favorite music.
