ME I saw this 6 years ago XD

[@SnailEqualsPain]

Heard somebody mention them and rewatched everything Better than i remembered

[@chrisattigliato1]

Watched this video when I was young and didn't know who Julian Casablancas was. Fast forward to about ten years later im heavy into the strokes and all the other garage rock bands. I watched this video again and it blew my mind like a boombox

[@th3noobman]

Are you a time traveler?

[@arthura305]

Blew your mind like Kurt's boombox?

[@daniellebalouise9596]

+th3noobman Yes, good question.

[@Tartlikehoney]

10 years? it's only been like 7 years what

[@CaptainPancakes]

I love the Strokes, but wow, to be introduced to Julian Casablancas from "this" song. That's nuts.

[@tgris42]

revisiting this after listening to the strokes/julian casablancas/the voidz for the past 3 years is awesome

[@FreyrFox]

Julian is adorable and has a great voice.

[@andysavage9663]

FreyrFox well those shades is a man who looks like he had a hangover

[@natofato1]

You know the singer is good when they talk about him more than the boiled goose and boombox comments combined

[@wikilover66]

lol

[@zedd7939]

Casablancas does make you addicted to his voice, does anyone know other songs where his vocals are given room to roam like here?

[@umiismyname4142]

try listen to human sadness. it is his side project with the band THE VOIDZ. julian casablancas+the voidz.. and The Stroke's songs

[@D.Fortesque]

ira umi Oh yes if you're not afraid of experimental music Human Sadness really is a jewel! It may not be an easy listener but I'm really digging it :)

[@umiismyname4142]

Jarst yeah me too. when the first time i listened to this song, im like 'omg,a great singer has been born'

[@JordanLofgren434]

ira umi Human Sadness has to be one of the greatest songs ever made. Such an amazing song.

[@shogunlewis8901]

Also try listening to Instant Crush by Daft Punk, another great collaboration with Julian's voice =D

[@randomguy8115]

Thank you Boombox for introducing me to The Strokes. Changed my life.

[@princekyle4132]

It’s December 20th, 2019. This is one of the best songs of the decade.

[@ValeriePujalt]

I can't stop listening this over and over again! The lyrics are so funny and Julian's voice is so awesome.

[@thedeca2293]

as a HUGE strokes fan, with brooklyn 99 as my favorite series, this still seems hilarious and incredible to me.

[@bru1sed_v1olet]

I love how julian's face is so serious about this song

[@Auustinisretired]

[@patriher8537]

[@rainybellamy6745]

[@kbear233]

okay the funny thing is that andy and julian are literally my two fav people on the planet

[@ouferilyasse4917]

+kalena you absoultely right they have a special clothes and amazing enter

[@aakanshakar4960]

Never in my life did I think a collab such as this could happen, and yet, here we are. Julian, my man, made me laugh with the "fingerless glove" lyric.

[@npcimknot958]

LOL same.. I dunno why fingerless gloves is so funny

[@alexisgarcia4124]

Damn Julian takes control of every song with that gorgeous voice, even if he only has like one line in a song

[@Edsabre]

Andy's face when Julian says "It was disgusting, to say the least" makes me laugh out loud ever time. Love this damn video.

[@jaywaverly1]

Listened to this song in 2010, and I'm listening to it now in 2019. Lonely Island are legends!!!!

[@BenefitExploits]

Yeah, brings so much nostalgia from those times

[@musicfeedsthewhole]

Patiently waiting for a Lonely Island reunion. The world needs you boys.

[@simonread8713]

Love Julian's high pitched backing vocals to 'you gotta know your limits with a boombox' at 2:08

[@ZechMadox]

Wow special snowflake

[@JungleOatsify]

@@ZechMadox wtf is wrong with you

[@dude90458]

I was just watching this from my recommended when Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus came on on the radio. The universe really wants more Julian in my life.

[@jazzmusicstops374]

you lucky bastard, I live in the fucking bible belt where all we get is bad decisions if we're lucky. My friends are the ONLY people I know who enjoy the strokes

[@JamesPIV-du1iq]

i love how Julian was so into it and he looked so epic at 1:18

[@dfz89]

James P. IV g

[@Katfancy40]

The more I watch this particular video from the lonely island with Julian I think I would definitely go to a live show like in concert if they all made an album.

[@TheRealMeanDean]

Julian gets up into Freddy Mercury vocal levels at the end.

[@charliecouteau8856]

I love The Strokes yet this is one of my favorite vocal performances by Julian ever

[@jlmrighthere2154]

Just fell in love with Julian Casablancas thanks to this song

[@patriciabahena6283]

Same

[@unknownplayer77-f5k]

Where are these guys right now when he world needs them the most?

[@SQUIZZLER24]

"I saw a Spanish guy doing the Bartman" will forever be one of my favourite lyrics of all time.

[@badghoul]

Makes it even better that is Fred Armisen in the video! I love him so much. Portlandia is one of my favorite TV shows. 📺💖

[@92larsko]

Julian has never been this energetic

[@padawan1769]

Peralta, you’re a genius!

[@hfishere]

[@leosagen8499]

[@captainneeda2230]

Lol

[@captainneeda2230]

I love brooklyn 99 and i love that my last name is peralta

[@hopefulnice]

My middle school besties and I easily watched this 20+ times a day after school in 8th grade... baby me would be proud to know that I still laugh at all the same parts. I hope my old pals are out there living the beautiful lives they deserve! Especially after putting up with me for all that time, which was (and still is) quite a chore :P

[@DOPIllustration]

Andy: Hey Julian, want to make a collab song? Julian: Kinda busy atm, what's it about? Andy: Boombox, old people f*cking and boiled goose. Julian: Count me in.

[@giuliad223]

julian had a hook ready for it /srs

[@waqman]

I saw a spanish guy doing the bartman probably one of the GOAT lyrics of our time

[@Cuzjudd]

I thought he was doing The Creep

Even today, I still hear Julian's verse, "everybody started having sex, the music was way too powerful," and I'm like, damn, truth.

[@krabben135]

I wish Julian would make more songs with this sound.

[@plastic_cleopatra]

[@brunotapiagarcia8490]

And his solo album?

[@plastic_cleopatra]

@@brunotapiagarcia8490 yup

[@sir2gooo]

Check out his solo album Phrazes for the Young! Came out at around the same time as this song.

[@alexandrelaforest5838]

Check out the voidz my dude. Some songs in it sounds like this

[@LusciousTwinkle]

OMG there are people still watching this? Ive never felt like I belonged anywhere so much.

Nostalgia

[@jibby8930]

As a kid I've heard many of their songs like I just had sex but didn't know their name. Now years later I've started watching Brooklyn 99 and became a big fan of Andy. It took me some days before i realized that he's part of TLI... Now i can't stop hearing their songs🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@cronenbergfilm]

i remember i was nine when this episode came out and i fell in love with julian's voice, thats literally how i got into the strokes

[@monicamarie3979]

[@galexiakat7524]

The Strokes are just like.. omg there isn't even anything to describe them. They are amazing, but like its more than amazing.

[@edstirling]

Are you in the boiled goose club?

[@kuiarauhohua565]
