[MissTheClash]

nice song (;

[akatsukiyondaime2]

I'm 14 and what is this?

[MrBed1963]

Do you mean Katy Perry.... OH NO!!!!!!!!! I said it. Now i must to be eradicated from this this world for such an offense to all the people who will see this!!

[MWin23]

@MrBed1963 It isn't offensive to say Katy Perry's name, it's offensive to listen to her spew shit and call it music.

[JonUkutube]

best thing about animal collecitve is.........you dont need to know the lyrics

[cokebub3]

this sucks so fucking bad.

[ToxicMayo9]

@cokebub3 troll harder faggot

[fmjr10]

@cokebub3 haha you listen to rap your point is invalid

[MrThomJKing]

@fmjr10 Listen to Shabazz Palaces' new album and say that again. (I love Animal Collective by the way.)

[Uberkittehful]

the frightened babies poo

[ANDMAN96]

Congratulations. You are all hipsters :3 Rejoice, be merry. I'm rick James BITCH!!

[RedlovesMETAL]

@ANDMAN96 listening to music like this doesn't make anyone hipster..

i listen to anything i like the sound of; not because other people do or do not listen to the same music, or because I want to try and look 'original'

FUCK THAT SHIT. :)

[marzy17]

@RedlovesMETAL Exactly, what a childish attitude to have toward music.

[illbeburningstar]

@ANDMAN96 I wish I had 2 more thumbs............so I could give them tittys 4 thumbs down! ahhhh!!!! rick James bitch

[lilpuppet1992]

Love this song. Why do people bitch when I get high and listen to this song?

[MeehKrob]

@lilpuppet1992 envy, i suppose

[MeehKrob]

and onwards to a fifth year where I'll start each and every day with fireworks!

[leon625]

This song is scary as fuck when your SToned off your ass.

[Thebeastone1423]

when i was 7 my bro would put this on every day i loved it so much took me 1 year to find it now iam 12 and still listen way better than that stupid rap shit this song has complexity and brings out emotion gives me a great fillin i about lost my bro to drugs still strugglin but he in rehab things gettin better this song and animal collective helped me so much kept me goin thumbs up if you agree

[EthanZ94]

@Thebeastone1423 lol stupid rap shit?

[JoelLaser]

@Thebeastone1423 close-minded shyster. No one cares about your age but you.

[Thebeastone1423]

@JoelLaser fuck u i just wanted to say somethin and i think people like the fact that im 12 and i listen to this so just shut up and stop trollin

[NikkerFilms]

@JoelLaser stop being a dickhole, clearly hundreds of people do, dont be bitch just cuz your jealous about his top comment

[JoelLaser]

@NikkerFilms >hundreds

>32 likes

K

He's only posting it because he thinks he's better than people his own age.

[NikkerFilms]

@JoelLaser lol yah i thought i deleted the comment cuz i realized it was only 32 but i guess i didnt. But how did you get "hes better than people" from that comment? Not everyone is a pretentious dickhole hipster like yourself

[LinusAllen]

@Thebeastone1423 fuck you rap is awesome. i like this and rap and rock and jazz and blues, open your mind up a little.

[NikkerFilms]

@LinusAllen fuck you hes 12....

[LinusAllen]

@NikkerFilms fuck that i dont give a fuck

[jbigby100]

@Thebeastone1423 I think its pretty awesome that a 12-year-old likes animal collective. There is some good rap out there, but you will learn to branch out. Anyone who is 12 and likes this song is pretty damn open-minded to me.

[bandm1987]

@Thebeastone1423 Agree to what? You never implied anything.

[HellolzEveryone]

@Thebeastone1423 Trust me there is a LOT of EXCELLENT rap. If there was a certain song I would tell you to listen to, it would probably be Feather by Nujabes. It's a good basic song that sort of gets down to the basics of rap.

[coollabby00]

@Thebeastone1423 Woah you're 12 so sick bro

[IFlowen]

@Thebeastone1423 get good grades kid.. life is soooo long and were all normal knowing how to talk to eachother in any way possible knowing were infinite with eachother. Perfect.. and wear really nice clothing, the ones that models wear.

[realskaterbnb23]

@Thebeastone1423 Have you ever heard about commas or periods?

[SySTeMxDoWn]

Imagine 1080p...

[freudastaire]

AC are my Grateful Dead

[kureece2k8]

when people say "music is not what it used to be" they're right it's getting better

[TheMariacg031]

4 years of listening to this and I'm still not tired of it.

[TickleMeEban]

240p, we meet again...

[CoastalBrake]

Man, it passes right by me. It's behind me. Now it's gone

[XxZigonxX]

How the heck am I a hipster for liking this? Its just a good song. Listen to it enough times and it makes sense :p.

[theanonymousprodigy]

Absolutely unbelievable lyrics, such raw emotion. Hits me like a train.

[pgf95]

fireworks? I had them before the chinese did...

[mattydigs]

Lol the entire middle section is just gibberish.

[unicodientedeabuela]

Irreversible



[Razinskie20162]

If the elefants been reaching for purses, then meet me behind the house in the woods and we'll burn one down...

[4metulips]

i love to smoke and just zone out to animal collective...theyre pretty much the best band ever

[JasonDamisch]

So, this is what hipsters listen to. Well, at least you can say that its original. It's a little bit like the Beatles and They Might Be Giants except with weird slightly dissonant computer music.

[the4152]

Am i high? yes. Am i a Hipster? Yes. Why Am i here? Becoase i am high as a noodle and this song is coodle. lol had to ryhme but cool. yea this stuff is cool. narwhale narwhale Bacon Bacon

[11snicklefritz]

@the4152 i just no i would hate u. prolly something to do with classifying urself as a hipster then saying "noodle and this song is coodle". god dammit kid

[eyeizboredonutube]

@927cheff "am i hipster? No" < most hipster thing to say

[alisharifi3]

does it matter if you're high or not? as long as you're alive, you can enjoy this in any way you like

[russianbluey]

@alisharifi3 ... preferably high

[TheOneartist]

Now THIS is the song I think of when I hear Fireworks.

Not that crap, not even going to name her name. It doesn't belong here.

[Grievous129]

@TheOneartist *high fives*

[fadoodle100]

@TheOneartist *hugs*

[TheXmas50]

@TheOneartist Took me a minute or two to figure out who you were talking about. lol

[Thebeastone1423]

@TheXmas50 im talkin about this song i stopped listenin cuz my bro was on drugs and every now and then i would look for it only find katy perry shit and some other wierd shit but the thing is this song gives me hope and it reminds me of the good old days and inspires me thats what im talkin about P.S never knew the name of the song

[ANeonTiger]

@TheOneartist "Fireworks" by Drake is better than that song too. So her song's at LEAST 3rd place.

[ianleeabc]

Fuck all of you judgmental fucks. Who cares who listens to the music. its good.

[MBalzEsHari7]

i just smoked embalming fluid and pcp in a joint called purple rain

[TheOneartist]

@MBalzEsHari7 Don't troll. Stick with psychedelics.

[KjB1ogger]

When Im high , I automatically will be watching and listening to this, When I sober up, I asked myself why am i here. It happens all time,

[alliant]

@KjB1ogger

what a sad confession

- hurray for intelligent drug users who appreciate things regardless of their state

[sayno2lolzisback]

i only listen to music that sounds good to me, that makes me feel good! i dont listen to music that makes me feel superior to others, music that gives the false idea that I should be the only one whos allowed to listen to a particular track. In other words I hate hipsters and admire anyone who doesnt want to follow some trend

[Codygeronimo]

@sayno2lolzisback lol k

[TheJourney2218]

Am I high? No. I actually fucking love Animal Collective. Seriously though, I wanna smoke some weed...does anyone have weed?

[Jackiesoarous]

@TheJourney2218 u ruined it bro.

[TheJourney2218]

@Jackiesoarous ruined what?

[SkatingInEmerica]

I can listen to this song in whatever mood I'm in and it will relate. I love it. That's how music should be.

[generaldom]

2800 people liked this video.

[MrHumblenarrator]

Am I high? absolutely.

nuff said

[weedfreehippie]

@Mastragat Me too :)

[reidcbcampbell]

This song gives me the exact same feeling listening to it sober as I get listening to most songs high. A tingly excited feeling.

[philliesfan099]

@TheDragonoxx @xjakemarinx Thanks!

[Mastragat]

This song is so good I shed a tear listening to this.

[philliesfan099]

Is this Avey Tare or Panda Bear singing? . .

[TheDragonoxx]

@philliesfan099 I think it is Avey Tare

[xjakemarinx]

@philliesfan099 Avey Tare does the lead vocals, and I think Panda Bear does some back up parts.

[mechaxneko]

@philliesfan099 it's Avey Tare !!

[WINFIELD32750]

@philliesfan099 i want to say avery tare

[jazzman425]

@TheNewDensity just because a piece of music is not up to a quality that dignifies my thoughtful response does not mean that its objectives exceed my intellect. do you know how arrogant one must be to assume that one possesses the ability to observe something that eludes the rest of us plebeians? but you of course know that my comment was a derogatory remark aimed at expressing belief of the perceived low quality of this music.

[josefineflygge]

I just discovered this amazing song and I think I've replayed it 5 times now. wow.

[xxafrizzlexx]

This is how I feel in front of the computer.

[fbartiefloresfb]

91 people burned themselves with some fireworks

[RoryBazterd93]

@fbartiefloresfb original, nice one

[CardboardTurtle]

@fbartiefloresfb dry.

[ahshiez]

Man it passes right by me! its behind me! now its gone !

[927cheff]

Am I high? No. Am I a Hipster? No. Why am I here? Cause I actually fucking love Animal Collective.

[captainAmerika701]

@927cheff im a marine and i love this shit.

[sergioelmejor1]

@927cheff If you need to be in a modified state of consciciousness or be part of a cultural movement to enjoy music, then you are doing it wrong

[Wyndstarthedruid]

@927cheff good for you.

[danielhl22]

@927cheff yes!!

[russianbluey]

@927cheff Are you A Russion Blue? No.

[AleksHyper]

@927cheff My 100th thumb up for comment ! :)

[IvyNirvana]

@927cheff Exactly.

[cowkong]

@927cheff Am I high? Yes. Am I a Hipster? C'monnnnnnnn. Why am I here? Cause I love Animal Collective. I don't get it.

[howmuchdidthatcost]

@927cheff if i could give you a high five on this site, i would. Animal Collective is one of those amazing bands that work well with anyones interests; whatever they may be...and whatever state of mind they happen to be in at that time.

HUZZAH for ANIMAL COLLECTIVE!!

[trevorbeaniekid]

@927cheff dude, everyone loves animal collective :D

[4metulips]

@927cheff youre a hipster

[IStehSHIT]

@927cheff The question is, why do you love them:)

[jazzman425]

what's this shit?

[doseone666999]

when does the bass drop?

[TheOneartist]

@doseone666999 Dubstep troll.

[diggerf16]

i take black and white pictures of park benches

[bestofintentions777]

ah, pretty lights without massive destruction!

[deathspasm9]

now THIS is motherfucking music

[dirtmerchant1980]

@deathspasm9 this is what you listen to while you fuck your mother?

[BrandonRudeen]

This song gets me out of my funk. (And to the haters, I listen to rap 90% of the time, free your mind b*tches.

[brandondittman]

Easily the greatest song of all time

[blumpkinreciever]

honestly i dont care who listens to the music or what anyone thinks about it, i like it and thats all that matters. the only ones who should care about how many people listen to this band is the band and i doubt they care about hate comments on youtube haha

[leslieannemills]

This band is shit, but that's just my opinion. Lord forbid someone gets their panties in a bunch because of "my" own personal opinion. I rather listen to Nickleback.

[ToxicMayo9]

@leslieannemills Youre an asshole.

[DrewRyalsByrnes]

@leslieannemills So you insult a band that obviously people on here enjoy, and expect nobody to say anything? Not just an asshole, but a stupid one!

[leslieannemills]

@DrewRyalsByrnes

I'm not stupid, this band just isn't my cup of tea. While I agree with you, that my first response was a bit caustic and rude. It is my personal opinion, and I have the right to voice that I do not enjoy this band. It's up to you if you want to get mad about it or not.

[rhetoricjams]

@leslieannemills if you can't appreciate animal collective then I feel sorry for you :(

[MrCrazyNeill]

@leslieannemills No one cares if you like it. No one cares if people like it. The only good comments are the.......none of them. Comments suck, keep to yourself.

[leslieannemills]

@MrCrazyNeill

The irony of this comment makes me giggle.

[MrCrazyNeill]

@leslieannemills your face makes me giggle, TEHE

[leslieannemills]

@MrCrazyNeill No your face

[TheTechnoTurtle]

@MrCrazyNeill You're wrong. I agree, comments suck, but something about them is just so tempting. People do care, and the most idiotic of commetns are the ones that get the most likes.

[MrCrazyNeill]

@TheTechnoTurtle LOLOL. 

[lye1by1mistake]

@leslieannemills Is this all you do all day? You really think anyone cares about your opinion? Grow up and stop trying to troll bands because your too immature to get a job. If you like Nickleback go listen to their videos!

[leslieannemills]

@lye1by1mistake

Obviously I've succeeded, seeing as I've garnered a response from you. I'm not trolling, as I've stated. I'm merely sharing my opinion. I do not like this band. Futhermore, I don't know how commenting on a youtube video constitutes as me being jobless and immature. Good job.

[VirtualWaffle]

@leslieannemills If they're simply not your cup of tea, don't put them down. Don't call them shit. They have talent. If anything, acknowledge that.

[christiaan81music]

@leslieannemills nickleback? mwaha

[fersholol]

after all this time? Always.

[georgiaaustin]

reminds me of the born ruffians

[EliGetsChicks]

Good song. In no way must you be on drugs to enjoy this music... But hahaha they were most likely on drugs when they wrote it, like a lot of their songs.

[LoganZeigler]

whys everyone hating?i love you all even hipsters or whatever=)

[TheCarlosAtilano]

My desktop background is a picture of the top comment from a few months ago that said "anyone else high as shit? with 69 "likes". a few days later it was taken off... I hold a piece of Animal Collective history.

[Bayplaces]

use to be a "druggie" I love this music more when I'm off it

[TheBeaded1]

heres a thought for all those peaople who have made this song about drugs your too messed up to realize that the high that was intended was the natural high of listening to the music. I love this group, love this song, it makes me happy and excited when i hear music like this (thats what you call a natural high) so all of you people out there try listening without the drugs

[PrimaBallerina123]

this song gives you a musical orgasm

[blexinMcCingle]

awe man i realy want someone to do this song, but with a bongo beat.

[randomprimate]

the lyric "man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now its gone" makes me feel so sad. Makes me want to seize the day.

[GDgatoman]

This song it's WAY much better than the one by Katy Perry

[jsweetburn]

The music itself gets you high, why alternate your reality? Love you for making me want to shake my ass!

[julio3]

This song has change my life quite a bit. :)

[iamjoedubois]

dude, Animal Collective started this band because they wanted to embody the the amazing feelings of tripping off their asses on some hallucinagens.

It's what it's all about, fuck off man.

[psychedelicyouth]

i've been listening to this on repeat for about a week.

[nativeman101]

88 people eat frightened baby poo



[YUmMy460]

I like pot

[esKpea]

@popp1nbottlez Umad, popping bottles?



[siranthalot]

you do not need drugs to enjoy this. not at all. i understand where popp1nbottlez is coming from.

[Chairstorm]

@siranthalot your an idiot hes saying that some fans ruin them because they always talk about getting high to watch this, he isn't saying that you need to be high to enjoy this.

[rezer011]

I neither see nor hear anything inherently "psychedelic" about this song. It's just music for Christ's sake.

@Interspatial78 "Their music is meant to be an elevated experience in itself, according to the band..." <--- What an absolutely pretentious description. And the fact that you can't enjoy good music without being under the influence of some deteriorating drug is baffling and, in all honesty, just sad. In closing, stop being an idiot, you have no idea what you're talking about.

[Mcdouche90]

This is my grandpa's favorite song.

[brandondittman]

@Mcdouche90 Your grandpa is freakin awesome
