dan le sac VS scroobius pip "Thou Shalt always Kill"

[@aidy6000]

Scarily relevant 15 years later. Such is the power of the wordsmith.

[@twentythree2372]

"Thou shalt not use poetry, art or music to get into a girls' pants.... Use it to get in their heads." Love it. Still brill after all these years

[@haret0n]

haven't played this in years. it's still fresh!

Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry. I live my life by this.

[@r502692]

When I hear some of the most popular songs on the radio my first thought is "though shall not make repetitive generic music"

r502692 dang it lyrics keep syncing up with comments I’m reading. This is the second time today. It’s freaky. Shit the other was fat Albert from gold teeth

[@EmydIx]

"Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry." More pure and true words have never been spoken.

[@naiyalexic]

Listened for the umpteenth time. Still great.

[@777jimothy]

Still amazing

[@gyqz]

Hail Britain for bringing forth the best music for decades now!

[@sfveggie]

Wow...more than 4 million hits - this makes me smile since I have been following these guys for a long time (I wrote about them when they were just getting on the circuit for an online zine). I remember seeing them play at Cafe de Nord in San Francisco, the show wasn't sold out (amazingly) and I totally geeked out when I met them :)

[@aidy6000]

Less than 500,000 in the years since...

[@thomash8229]

"Thou shalt not worship Pop Idols or follow Lostprophets." Don't think many people are following Lost prophets anymore! ahah

[@LittleRoundMirror]

Why censored? WHY?!

[@FieldMarshalFry]

it was uploaded years ago, when swearing was less common and accepted on KZbin, I guess they were worried about the song being taken down

[@robh9075]

I have done far too many of these things Scroobius Pip hates me :-

[@46Livvy46]

Saw this live yesterday. It was AMAZING! I'd heard some stuff before but never paid much attention and seeing this live has converted me. I am a fan now!

[@033jONaH330]

I commented on this video 4 months ago, and the only reason I check my notification whatevers on here, is so that I can return to this amazing video and watch it over and over! It doesn't matter who you are or what you believe in, he's sending out amazing messages that make people think. That's more than I can say about alot of today's artists...

[@Shambles_44]

This is like the alternative bible

[@thomasjozefiak1602]

borderline fisher price AV quality, but this could be deliberate. Bare respect for the majority of these tunes tho.

[@mejanner]

Finger on the pulse as ever with The Lost Prophets.

[@davidhansen9929]

Haha

[@RobinColemanChannel]

This has become my theme song for the latter part of the summer! Absolutely genius lyrics, mix, everything! I hope y'all continue to create music for decades to come!

[@thrillhouse_vanhouten]

Still one of my favourite tracks/videos ever, 6 years later. God bless Pip

[@nouseforafknname]

how does the "thou shalt not idolize musicians" bit work out with the "thou shalt not take [bunch of legendary musician's names] in vain" bit? am i confused or is he?

[@steviehair01]

+nouseforafknname I think that he's deliberately putting in contradictory arguments. The whole point of the song (to me at least) is "think for yourself, don't just follow other people." And other people includes himself. Hence he puts in contradictory advice, just so you can't just follow him. You have to think for yourself a little bit, and maybe, just maybe, that will get the process going.

[@KingKook]

+nouseforafknname Belittling those that are more creative or more praised or more successful is how unimaginative, mediocre minds attempt to elevate themselves. Trashing those BIG NAME musicians is kind of a lazy sport for half wits who denigrate the things which intimidate them. Not taking their name in vain is not the same as making idols of them, and while no one should be exempt from criticism it's stupid and worthless to piss on those sorts of people and things which are attempting to bring genuine beauty and meaning and even joy into people's lives, as opposed to the crass commercialized shit which inundates us daily. Rather than actually producing excellent art themselves some people instead choose to take the names of those great musical artists "in vain." The End.

[@alexbrook8033]

+nouseforafknname Just because one appreciates a legendary musician like say Jim Morrison, does not mean they are making an idol out of that person. To idolise would mean to elevate Jim to a God like status. To not take in vain simply means to appreciate the work of Jim. Ie you are not idolising Jim as a person, just appreciating what he as a musician created.

[@Bururaian]

thou shalt always... thou shalt always kiww

[@christophermorgan6864]

"Don't follow Lost Prophets"...... "Thou shall not think any male over the age of 30 that plays with a child that is not their own is a paedophile,some people are just nice" Errrm slightly uneasily prophetic these lyrics considering the admittance in recent days about the sexual crimes on children by Ian Watkins from Lost Prophets.

[@kalbert9367]

You sir keep my faith in humanity alive.

[@mickschulz6537]

Spent an hour trying to find this (all I could recall was the part where he throws away the records, no lyrics) - definitely worth it.

[@elusivejahnell]

Thou shalt not listen to a middle class bearded gentrifier of Hip Hop culture about what is and isn't Hip-Hop, whether or not said beard was grown before beards became cool. Thou shalt not listen to said middle class bearded gentrifier's admonishment of working class mannerisms and slang. Thou shalt read Owen Jones' 'Chavs' to understand why. Thou shalt always question Stephen Fry, who isn't at all a 'national treasure' but instead a mediocre actor and quiz show host who everybody thinks is cleverer than he is because he quips half-truths and badly researched one-liners in a posh accent.

[@Scolex93]

John Pitts Found the stinky chav.

[@jerryrigging]

thank you for this post

[@steviesmith527]

I think it is great to see some thoughtful and philosophical lyrics back in music again, and so much of what he says is so true it's both funny and uncanny!

[@lilybanks7466]

This doesn't stop being awesome.

[@PianoAcrossAmerica]

Its great to see that there are Musicians out there who are taking progressive actions to make a statement instead of making music to say the same thing everyone else says on the radio. I would love to hear this one on the radio.

[@valgehiir]

Thou shall admit this is one of the best tunes of the past 10 years

[@finxeth]

10 years on and its still amazing

[@hautewire]

Thank you you reminding me I forgot about this guy! I forget if I know that it’s a fact or if it’s just something someone told me either way the story goes that he had a super crazy stutter that inhibited him in his life and then when he found music and rapping it just goes. away I love that!

[@46Livvy46]

Yeah! It was amazing. Best supporting line-up I've ever seen : ) I guess you were there :' ) xx

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

nice one! nice to see this bunch and others finally sounding like they actually LIVE in the times the rest of us have to put up with too, instead of the mere analgesic mind-mugging clothes adverts that most "modern" corporate music is and hath always been! cheers for postin!

Really loved this, :o)

I'm [also] from Texas, USA. This is the first time I've ever heard him or this song.

For those who think there's a problem with the concept of "Thou Shalt Always Kill" remember, "to kill" is also a stage term for giving an excellent performance.

[@gnarledrose]

Does anybody else love that after he tells you what to do, he says "think for yourself?"

[@monsterspin]

don't get me wrong...i love this guy...but, does anyone else find it hilarious that the entire song is telling us what to do including telling us to think for ourselves? wonderful.

[@arch1ve]

Man I saw this guy in Taboo and was trying to remember what his name is. Scroobius Pip is such a silly name, but kinda rad. Then I found this and was like oh shit I remember this!!!

One of the smartest and wittiest songs I've ever heard, I love how it mocks the pretentious snobbery of today's society. Don't understand the phoenix part though...

@TheCobaltLion I might be wrong but I believe this version was this original version, then it was re-recorded for the album "Angles"

[@LtSykes]

@boondockscar Radiohead is just a band in comparison to the Beatles. I don't even really like the Beatles as much as Radiohead, but the Beatles were far more important than any of the other bands he mentions. They were like a cultural phenomena.

[@Minipokes]

@TheCobaltLion It is, some of the lyrics are slightly different, and the ending's been shortened

[@jjdyer]

@RAAWRimmaPANDA I think that line comes after the "think for yourself" line for a reason. It's meant to get you thinking and not just agreeing with everything he says. Also notice he is a politician on tv when he says it, and then the him on the couch decides to turn off the tv and walk away (thinking for himself).

[@His4Hero]

@liltrevies I thought I was delusional when I felt like this about music. It's nice to know someone else does!

[@lensj]

thou shall not shake a polaroid picture ... THX!!!

[@shyko95]

This is THE music anthem. All musicians should abide these laws, and all people who like music should use these as guidelines, all people who don't should stay at home on Facebook.

[@Boomsplostion]

@Alectr0n i think that's what your supposed to get from "thou shall always kill" at the end
