The Kills - What New York Used To Be

[dandili60]

nice

[modlc]

I've been pushed to this...

[Electrochoch]

Captain Beefheart?

[CitrusBurstCreations]

this song reminds me so much of crash bandicoot gameplay music

[giuliamania]

this video's really good for fan made!

[TheQuietEye]

I believe the good Captain is singing 'On the My oh My'. But I could be wrong.

Lord, I miss him. Never compromise. Follow your star.

[flytacos]

mooo.is all i have to say.

[yourfriendgrant]

1:19 - 1:35 is sick

[Skagnita]

Is that Beefheart or Burton Cummings?

[MrEpiclylaterd]

@Skagnita - It's Captain Beefheart.

[aurlis2012]

new york in the 90's, nome sayin

[LeGrandDieuPan]

I love Allison Mosshart !

[Jivido]

Does anyone else hear carhornes @ 1:25 ?

[sandradeex393]

oh my god...her voice...O.O

[DaveHowie98]

Love what you done with the video!

B-E-A-UTIFUL SONG!!!

[kingcong89]

i actually really like your video, its what i want in the backround while listening to this song

[JulieLawry]

rock n roll, baby!!!

[Paul72092]

by far my favorite song of theirs. I enjoy the beginning of the video, with the old footage and Marilyn Monroe. Is that "diamonds are a girls best friend"?

[PoorPoorComputer00]

just got drunk andd had a moshpitt with myself. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOO.!

[DaveHowie98]

This song is the best! The video really captures the true image of old school NY and what it was all about!

[DeadAliveWhoCares]

best song in Midnight Boom, very addictive

[xsmanriquez]

captain is in ....thats coool

[Synthelucia]

a++++++ new york love <3

[LastDayOfMagic2010]

Tellement Jouissif ! <3

[dshznt182]

Captain Beefheart...fuckin right

[LastDayOfMagic2010]

The kills <3

[supperunknown]

New York really became a shithole when it comes to art and music

[cogitatione1]

Props to the video.  So what: it's weird. Kind of weirdly thought-provoking. Odd juxtapositions. I actually paid attention. A bit like The Kills.

[ob2kanob]

The video needs to be more music/beat responsive.

But the song, ah the song, just KILLS!!!

[sdsma101]

Good video, awesome song

[concept09girl]

I LOVE THIS FUCKING BAND

[xXJen510Xx]

I heard this song on PUSH and i absolutely had to find out what it was... now im like addicted to this bandd!!!!!!!!

[ThatKrissyChick]

I really like this video myself. Especially the morphing faces =) Good job!

[hilfen]

i love this great song. and your video, just amazing. <3 <3 <3

[lipoupoul]

what you did with these paintings is reaaalllly great love the effect created, bravo bravo bravo :))

[Amandabearish]

FUCK NEW YORK..

[TheHSFT]

@Amandabearish FUCK YOU! You're just not cool enough for New York. Sucks for you.

[superjyl]

this video is awesome! i've watched it so many times and i totally thought it was the official video for the song. bravo christy...

[LeighMartinezzz]

the best way to download this mp3 from youtube is to google mp3iiiiify.

[koushou4life]

they are the bomb :D

[hobomafonie]

and also, any idea why there's so much art (picasso and the like) that has little relation to new york? If it's some metaphysical musing on the deterioration of new york as iconic or artsy then refrain 'cause i don't wanna hear it.

[hobomafonie]

which captain beefheart performance is that in the clip?

[cockofthenorth]

@hobomafonie I think that was a performance on the Old Grey Whistle Test.

[redliggett]

@hobomafonie I think Dropout Boogie

[r0b3rt330]

awesome when blitzzzed out of ur skully

[CocoonSoon]

GENIUS. Dirty and deliciously soulful. messianic MUSIC without the complex.

[CalebTheGuitarist]

this is by far the BEST kills song. idk why its not more popular.

i first heard it on the movie PUSH

[sickmuse1000]

this song is so fuckin cool, they should've done a video of it!

[kbenge89]

Loveeee The Kills.

[2short2q]

FYI That sure looked like a raging young Beefheart in the montage.

[badboyrhythmdub]

That sure was

[dnlrsn9]

they're a great duo..

[kukulkan07]

the song is grate ,t

hanks for the up-load

[iseroth]

a love story mixed with a detective drama, inside of a carmine infused emerald.

[iseroth]

it's like a playful yet piercing red umbrella upon my stomach.

[thevix96]

This song is genius

[sandstorm887]

u noe this song was in the movie Push....

[Benioff1]

I saw Push again tonight. I sought the song afterwards.

[furiousphoenix77]

@sandstorm887 What a good movie... :-)

[OnePunch89]

@sandstorm887 That's the only reason why I'm listening to it now lol.

[kansasgirl3280]

[crazygul04]

[LauuuuGon]

The kills are sooo great!, and this song in particular too

[xxgAggYchiZZyxx]

[liekeistofjes]

This song is the best while smoking and drinking whisky

[jauussss]

i love it

[Ladystardust5]

christy n the video is great , I like the fact that you put captain beefheart , and surrealism pictures , I think it get along well with the lyrics of teh song . GREat job

[xEJD2x]

The Kills + Justice = Sickness

[TheDanSandwich]

The song is fantastic, the video not so much...

Regardless, I think that the Kills might be my next music purchase.

[christy8907]

nonetheless i made this video very fast, just in case you think that maybe its the official video for this song

[orangeorphan]

@christy8907 Hey just so you don't think everyone is hating on your video I decided to reply and just say thanks for uploading this song and taking the time to make a video...the Kills rock!!

[babbersabber]

@TheDanSandwich actually the video is really shitty... but anyway just enjoy the music! :D

[softshock13]

lovelyyyyyyyyyy

[softshock13]

so gooodd esp w headphones LOUD

[4730478021]

esp when getting high

[avedic]

ha....doing that now.

[PhoenixRising235]

Does anyone know why captain beefheart appears a minute in to the song.. I mean.. .He's great. If this were like... party of special things to do... I'd understand.

[2muchfoya]

I watching that movie Push the other day and man, I downloaded this song so quick. Lol. It's my ringtone now! :D

[1234amylovesmusik]

woo its on the push sountrack!

[ForsakenMadMan]

Push was way to short to be a good movie ;p

[maruchibi88]

anyone know what sort of Music style this is?

or maybe similar styled songs?

i can't stop listening to this one @_@

[alyssaxbabyx3]

this is like indie/experimental musicc with some kind of grungee (:

[pandaapple54]

i love this song!!!!!!!!

[PrincessofEuphoria12]

I wathced it like x3 and could watch it more, i loved it. I hope they make the second part!

[MrSockPuppet]

Was that footage of Captain Beefheart or I'm just real bad at recognizing people

[willibro151]

You were right, that was indeed footage of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band (1970s vintage, too).

[THEsallyl33]

omg i watched push last night

[cherryrepublic89]

SAME!!

[MattYonTube]

that ware i got it

[truendymion]

The ending to Push was a huge letdown, felt like a tv show going to a commercial break lol. The best part of Push was that it helped me figure out who sings this song haha!

[YoshiLicksZelda]

well there will be a push2

[helothehybrid]

there has to be! a huge cliff hanger! Cassie's mom! Oh I love this song!

[Procrustes22]

cl, dood

[Procrustes22]

ImABadVamp , me 2!! gr8 film, yeh?

[ImABadVamp]

It was amazing! We rented it about two days ago and ive watched it like three times. Dakota Fanning was amazing. I'm determined to buy it asap. im really hoping they make another one. :]

[ZomgMattRangel]

It didn't do really good in the box office but the ending does see to give the hint that there might be a sequel, which I hope there will be :D

[ImABadVamp]

Yeah because they still need to find her mom. :)

It's really hard to believe it didn't do well in the box office. Some people are dumb i guess... haha

[maruchibi88]

after seeing the ending i don't daoubt it :D

[ImABadVamp]

omg i just watched push last night and i heard this song. i love it!

oh and push was an AWESOME movie. hope they make another one. :)

[Royals87]

push back

[SaveMyQueen]

In love with The Kills !

Definitely !!!

[coffeejelly17]

I love this song! Her voice makes me wanna go crazy. :))

[1970chevelle]

just wondering why u put in beefharts upon the ....

[christy8907]

the kills cover dropout boogie from him, so it made sense to include him in the video as the way that music used to be.

[jaumet54]

that is so true NYC is the new Disney World for family holidays sucks!!!!!

[MrsAnaLB]

yeah, i love their style!

[APerfectSonnetxx]

Push had some excellent indie bands in it, huh?

I'm proud.

[rythmbaby]

this is soooo cool

love the kills

[eyesoftheworld91]

AHHHHH!!!! i saw them open for the Racontuers (sp?) sumtime last year and they did soooo good. cant wait to see them next week @ Glass house!!! :)))

[XxZirkusaffe92xX]

just wonderful!! <333

[bbudab]

Nice use of Beefheart My oh My The Kills would be proud :D

[tonytone73]

this is bullshit.... NY still is all this: art, drama, business, everything that it once was... NY will always be more or less the most kick-ass city in the world.

[willibro151]

'fraid not, dude. Why I left.

[hurtmanthedroogs1088]

so coool

[lewisportsmouth]

does anyone think this sounds a bit like Peaches - Fuck The Pain Away?.... good song, love the filth!

[christy8907]

i love peaches also, but this does not really remind me of her. her voice tho is very similar

[brilliantfranz]

yay I love this song!

I was thinking about making a video for this song, but when the sing: Whaaat new your used to be! I thought about puting a picture of tifani pollar AKA New york...

lol, i know is stupid.... Ive just thought about it

[whoareyouvegas]

Love this song. It was in Push.

[Voltmx45]

If you don't mind telling, in what type of scene?

I haven't seen the movie and am curious.

[whoareyouvegas]

They were in a taxi. It was a few clips of the streets of Hong Kong then it cut to Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans in a taxi taking about one of her drawings.

[Voltmx45]

So did the track start from the beginning? And did it last their entire conversation?

[whoareyouvegas]

Naw. It was about from the beginning to about 0:53. It faded its way out so you could hear Chris and Dakota argue about whether a drawing looked like a bead or an olive. (It was apparently a bead.)

[Voltmx45]

Thanks for the help.

I hate it when good music is used for shitty scenes, but I actually envisioned using the song in the same type of scene, which is wack because now I feel unoriginal.

So would you say that the first 15 seconds of the song was used to showcase the streets of Hong Kong?

[whoareyouvegas]

Pretty much.

[vegamarco4]

what movie?

[Voltmx45]

"Push"

[blugtar87]

thanx i was wondering what part this was on.

[whoareyouvegas]

no prob ;D

[omgitsbriidgetx3]

flawless song.

<3

[antilope34]

j adore!!!!!

[billyshitcheese]

pop-tastic!

[ShakedrinkerSnake]

what mustaches used to be

[bateman57]

Who's the guy in the 70ies Video???

[christy8907]

captain beefheart

the kill's cover his song "dropout boogie" all the time

[VinceNoir24]

My favorite.:) they make me happy

[Cinderellasdrunk]

i love the kills

[jalani00]

yeah ive felt this way a/b ny for a while. its been devoured by 14th st. losers who try to be cool like those in soho but fail miserably. but of course manhattan isnt all of ny..

still, there's hardly any real new york left and thats why i need to get the fuck out of here... and i have not a clue where to go.

[SomeMightEvenDie]

Why don't you come to California? It's a terrible place. It's also terribly interesting. Just yesterday I saw two crust punks throwing fists at each other on a busy street.

[dirtymartini27]

Very KOOL song/ sexy vibe.

[GuessWhoo0o]

really good

but NY still been great!

[Charlesd1990]

Best song off Midnight Boom with last day of magic.

[jennundth]
