Call Me // Blondie // POMPLAMOOSE

[@Pomplamoose]

I realize you’re all very focused on playing multiple synth parts, but could you also remember to shout, “Call me!” on the choruses?? Cool.

[@JuanGarcia-gy8vl]

It's a reflex at this point.

[@juanpallautapulido200]

You have such a good analogue synth ensamble...... what a joy

[@missbeth347]

Did they forget the first 78 takes?

[@altops4490]

now you gotta du funkytown

[@kelligaines7714]

Call me... we've got to get a plan... it's time... I got to get to where my work is

[@bobhopeful]

Anytime Nataly breaks out from singing just above a whisper and gets loud and really blasting out her voice, Pomplamoose jumps from great to totally freaking amazing. Makes me wonder why she doesn't do it more often.

[@josephfrunzi4606]

Keeping it sparse to keep it exciting.

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

The emotionless flat affect Nataly displays is holding her back. Beautiful voice and beautiful singer. Love the band. Can't wait to see them live one day.

[@jkfan2005]

Has she ever ventured into ventriloquism?

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

@@jkfan2005 😂😂😂

[@meeyan4345]

Because doing this while you're dealing with life and everything takes so much endurance, time, energy and commitment. Having an extra person adds more schedule complexity. As long as you never stop doing! Frequency doesn't really matter.

[@FairMiles]

Pomplamoose covering classics are the best! (I miss your "mashup" covers where you best displayed the spirit of your transformative arrangements)

[@GarethDaviesNZ]

Yes! So, hear me out: what if we had the chorus melody of I Was Made For Lovin' You (KISS) over the Dorian vamp of Use Me (Bill Withers). I think the two would mash nicely musically and the implied lyrical mashup has this provocative irony.

[@xdoctorblindx]

I actually prefer these straight-ahead covers where the songs themselves shine instead of the musical cleverness. To each their own! :)

[@LittlePrairieLibrary]

I'm waiting for the As it Was/Take on Me mashup.

[@RootBeerFlavored]

No, they are not. They are awful.

[@RustyBrakes]

Did you make an 80s song more 80s? Yes. And I love it

[@TheBeatlesToday]

Interesting, they gave it a way more 90s sound imo

[@RDG.357]

was coming to say the same thing. They just made the 80's more 80's... LoL

[@iAmTheSquidThing]

I think they made it more Goldfrapp.

[@LeeDeeThe1]

Id say they took a song that was very early 80s (cam out in 1980) and made it sound more mid to late 80s. I love it too!

[@josephanthony4868]

how can you not have fun watching a bunch of people having fun playing great music?

[@NickPack108]

The positivity of this group is time and time again mindblowing. Just love you!!!!

[@rap33042]

Everyone looks like they're having so much fun. Not only is the music great but you're all fun to watch!

[@etusax]

This is amazing. Especially the energy of the band after the drop around 2:12 made me smile. The joy of music really radiated through; the band had that "can't stop smiling while playing" vibe that is literally one of the best feelings in the world. Also great arragement and playing and all, but the energy and joy really does it for me.

The setup, the base lines, the energy, the remote second vocal which fits the song perfectly. Tight.

[@Rouverius]

Makes me want to go oldschool rollerskate! (This means you nailed it. )

[@raymondevangelista3334]

This song is one of my all time favorites.

[@aatmuse]

OMG the JP-8000 bass guy is KILLING IT. Watching over and over. SO GREAT !! Bravo !

[@ChickenPermission617]

Love Blondie! They were so ahead of their time. Excellent cover as always

[@LucyAndersonArt]

This was so fun to watch. I love it. Great to see Jack singing.

[@didierroubinet4610]

Always perfect with a so discrete french touch to magnify the song. I love you all, you're a terrific band !!! Take care.

[@FranciscoFregona]

I'd love to see an edit of mostly the non-glamour stuff: the "counting lips", "keeping pulse steps", "synchro looks", "fighting with the freaking stands", "finding happiness on the twist of a knob" and the "louder, louder! face". Keep rocking!

[@GuanoLad]

This was, as the Brits say, a banger. Blondie has always seemed the most British of American pop groups to me.

[@punkdigerati]

Debbie Harry worked at the BBC (in NY) before making it in music, might have influenced her.

[@nick.caffrey]

It's the way that although Nataly is the singer, she never seems to be the focus. Zen music. Love you guys.

[@paulroberts3639]

How very 80s with more synths than any other instrument, and the bright pink jackets. All you needed was the long fringes (do you call hair over your face a ‘fringe’ in the US?) over your eyes and serious expressions for that new wave look. Great cover. Good to see Erin again with back up vocals. Nataly and Erin always sound great together. Loved it.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

I think the US term for a fringe is “bangs”

[@paulroberts3639]

@@oldvlognewtricks yeah, thought so. Weird word. A bit like ‘diaper’. Where did that word come from? Very strange. Still Americans are weird with their inches and gallons. But we love them. Well, the ones who don’t take themselves too seriously- the talented ones and well most of the rest of them.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

@@paulroberts3639 ‘diaper’ is from the Greek ‘dia’ meaning ‘across’ and ‘aspros’ meaning ‘white’. Definitely sounds peculiar once it’s gone through Latin and French to get to us 😆

[@samsowden]

@@paulroberts3639 nappy is a pretty weird word too if you think about it... nappy... *nappy*. Eurgh. Weird.

[@sarahberkner]

I'll never understand how people with 80s hair could have serious expressions, I like the music but not the hair.

[@David_Thompson]

. Great job Nat and the band - thank you for brightening my day!

[@Gloria-xm7on]

I love your way of expressing music

[@BradyPostma]

This cover is so smooth and entrancing. And just so much fun! Absolute slam dunk!

[@benketteridge9150]

I love seeing the obvious joy when you're making these videos. Fabulous to see.

[@anthonycashero7605]

The destiny of music is going good again. The world loves it. Brings us together in our hearts.

[@arthurgentil9869]

brilliant cover, the rythm & synth sounds reminds me of MUSE, it's lovely to the ears !!! and you guys are great to watch ! thanks

[@MatthewGreenbaum]

You are always a great singer but this is one of those songs that is just perfect for you and you absolutely nail it. Great job!

[@Frostfly]

this is why I enjoy Pomplamoose so much. They put fun in their music.

[@unclemikeyplays]

You all always look like you are having such an amazing time! Honestly, I come here not just for the music itself, but for the joy you all seem to take in playing/singing it!

[@myrvyn]

Ooh I really want to see this group dancing and rocking to this song!

[@JohnMichaelStrubhart2022]

Damn! You should do more Blondie covers! Very powerful! I just bought the digital track. More! More, I say!

[@BCHilde505]

Outstanding cover! I LOVE hearing your voice all out.

[@cyborgmetropolis7652]

wait, that's a COVER???

[@Aniiratak]

Wow, it's one of the coolest covers by Pomplamoose I've heard! Retro and fresh simultaneously...

[@west4coast77]

Everything about this is great! Start with a fab song, nail the synth sounds, play drums live, add two stellar singers, do an excellent live mix and combine it with wonderful cinematography and editing. Kudos all involved! ...I think Debbie will enjoy and be flattered by your performance.

[@jamesblackwell8121]

I can finally understand the lyrics! Sounds great!

[@caddycallaghan]

I just adore how happy Jack gets!!! 🥹😆🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼😁

[@harveybowen4615]

Wow! I can't recall hearing a better Georgio Moroder cover. You've done a great job of retaining Moroder's production feel while bringing Call Me to a wonderful new place, and also of getting the Debbie Harry vocals feeling respected not copied. Hearing this makes me want to hear you all cover Moroder's entire Metropolis soundtrack (and maybe also "Follow Me" previously covered by Debbie Harry as a synth-vocals track.)

[@johnmolt3456]

Your guy's joy... that is what addicts me to POMPLAMOOSE.

[@aztechincal]

Si bien servie ... si belles notes, si belle rythmique ... c'est presque indécent que tu poses ta voix dessus ! La musique est définitivement la 4ème dimension de la parole

[@marymichele340]

You folks always look like you are having fun which is great!!!

[@triss9841]

C’est trop stylé comment vous l’avez reprise ! Ça transmet tellement de bonnes vibes ! Et la petite touche française qu’on aime ;)

[@JuanGarcia-gy8vl]

I really dig this version! Good job!

[@redwingdetroit9671]

That was amazing. You can tell when the band all knew they hit the marq and it went from techniq to relishing their work. Great job ppl.

[@Saxysellig]

Another great cover, I love the dark synths. Plus Erin Bentlage is absolutely beautiful, I'm sooo in looove! Her eyes, her shirt, the lighting on her face, OMG I'm fainting... Erin, please call me!

[@dsullivan6916]

Oh my amazing bass lines ! If i could ... may i ... i mean if it isn't too presumptuous ... suggest the hands down best song ever in ever ... Pat Benatar's Love Is A Battlefield ... including the spoken word intro. ... of course ... Love you all !!!

[@Randysinger]

The end was INCREDIBLE..................love the silence............

[@larutadejulian]

I love the music they make. Greetings from Salta, Argentina. Me encanta la música que hacen. Saludos desde Salta, Argentina.

[@paulamacatangay0001]

Love this! Currently my ringtone haha 💓

[@timsplinter1321]

This bunch does an AMAZING job of creating electronic style automated music with live hands!

[@chuckdepew1768]

Great cover. Maintained the edginess of the original. Just moved the song from the touchtone phone age to the cellular age!!

[@jameshanson4880]

Synth heaven!!! You guys are simply amazing - your covers are a perfect blend between the original and your own amazing stamp. Not a gratuitous note (literally or figuratively) to be found. Thank you!

[@ottocox_]

Insane bass work from Swatkins!

[@RigzDigz]

Jack's beard is becoming more and more luxurious. Also, Great cover! Always a cool song with some interesting key changes with your own pomlamooseyness.

[@ruymoraes199]

Superb! But the guys jumping on the seats at 2:10, is the top climax moment! Too much fun, and we can feel it! (I jump myself together, every time I watch the video).

[@rupen42]

It would be awesome to see you guys cover some more trip hop. In the Waiting Line was great. I would love to see you guys do Teardrop by Massive Attack.

[@jaymartini]

It was so fun to have Nat pop up on the radio while driving to work the other day. I've been following you guys for so long.

[@brendanwall7395]

Another amazing one! I love all communication with eye contact , it's like another language, keep up the great work.

[@jeffreylomicka7212]

Knocked it out of the park and Jack's enthusiasm is contagious.

[@dankramer7840]

Absolutely awesome! Nataly, as always, you are amazing

[@hughbarton5743]

Holy freaking moley!!! Do you people ever get tired of epic, ridiculously amazing performances? Weli, y'all keep setting the bar....we will try and pursue....👍....thanks so much....

[@trilhaseroles]

Vocês são maravilhosos. To curtindo cada música. Adoro as francesas. Abraços. 👏👏🇧🇷

[@patpat2858]

I been following yall for over 15 years and you rarely disappoint. This was excellent.

[@mbrsart]

That synth bass line 🔥

[@123gotyourknee]

Another iconic song! I'm pretty new to the channel but I'm so glad I found your music! It's amazing and something I'd jam to anytime

[@GardensAndGames]

I love watching Ben Rose when he's not playing, because he's always just so hyped to be there.

[@imjelo]

I was thinking of someone that has the same singing style as Nataly. I knew there is one but couldn't think of it. I always get busy enjoying listening to the band. Then you did this. I went, yeah, Debbie Harry. That's it. Love it. Reminded me of my teenage years back in Africa.

[@likebot.]

It's not the song that brings me back to when the song was, but some something, a je ne sais quois in the sound of the keyboards that brings me back to "♪when a sport was a sport".

[@Supr2baboy]

Other than the Beck/Lorde/Tupac mashup, I think this is the most energetic beat/feel you've done. And I'm HERE for it!

[@secretagent86]

nice to see you back! not sure how long you were away, but hope your health is great now!!

[@BrammBass]

Wow, what a great song! I really enjoyed your energy. That's really bringing the video to a higher level. Plus the camera work, well done 😉

[@loslion3384]

Frickin Rock!!! Like WoW! Group is On That ROCK ON!!!

[@guildem]

Wooow that's why I love you guys ! That's a great version of Call Me !! Congratulations !

[@sophiamarchildon3998]

Once again, thank you.

[@apextroll]

Yes, indeed!!

[@tmoe4495]

This is my favorite video of yours! I doubt it will last though, I've said that to myself on at least 5 videos that I've watched tonight. The pure joy and passion all of you display is infectious. I would love to see your take on modern love by david bowie or just about any song of his.

[@rafaelhernandez1821]

What a delicious set of sounds, from start to finish! Thank you so much.

[@stephenyeagley3588]

Love how dialed in this ensemble is. And the synths!

[@tonybennett365]

I have followed you for a while now, and you never fail to offer a superbly choreographed piece of sound.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

Love the expansion of the hook from the bridge 😍

[@cliffgraham5185]

Fun is what weekends are for, baba ghanoush is what eggplants are for and THIS RIGHT HERE is what synths are for! SO GREAT!

[@ayatsubame]

love the dark filtering and prominent BGVs... thanks for sharing!

[@benoitbeauchemin7678]

I am a huge fan of Pomplamousse. Yet, I miss their early years when they had much less technical means and therefore created very original versions using old and simpler instruments\equipments. I'm glad that they clearly do much better, money wise. Merci!

[@kevsingh]

More 80s songs please!!!

[@m.hankme6182]

Cette cover est tellement cool! changez rien :)

[@JohnCallender]

With bonus Erin Bentlage!

[@555west4]

I actually like your version better than the original - those cool synth piano parts and the blended voices just added a lot of body to an already full song making it Really POP :) Cheers

[@d.grouard6737]

I would love to hear what you would do with “Unchained Melody”. I bet it would be amazing. “Call Me” was superb, as usual. I am so glad that the infamous KZbin algorithm recommended your music to me, just a few short months ago. Cheers.

[@martingoldblum1907]

Wow! This is a knock out. You've hit it before and now you've hit it again. Congrats!

[@mgratk]

I was about 12 when this came out and the album may have been my very first album purchase. This version-- I think Debbie and the gang would approve!

[@danielacastro5341]

Awesome, what i needed to hear this day....... and any other day.... more please

[@michaelhughes8784]

This was great. I loved the part around two minutes in. It was so good everyone just had to smile. This is going to be on a loop for a while.

[@teejay78]

I kept seeing yalls shorts and im glad it brought me here, really really really really really cool

[@MrRogsmart]

Impossible to watch this and not come away with a huge grin.
