[@mattb2704]

The dance-ability in this track is incredible. It's a shame they moved away from this sound. There was so much energy there.

[@maxcohen13]

Such an underrated album.

[@juanVERDE55]

The best album.

[@OnlyTheJugg]

Not underrated by people who know it.

[@jotadeltoro7155]

exactly

[@The.Nasty.]

Manages to sound ethereal but tight and focused, all at once. I love this freakin album.

[@MrFeyerwire]

I am pretty sure the drummer for Foals has to be injected with speed before each performance. He is one of the fastest, most precise drummers in indie rock.

[@devinhudson4905]

You said what i was thinking😂😂

[@paulgotik]

It's posible but in metal and hard rock music, you have a lot of faster drummers.

[@MaxBrilhart]

+paulgotik And jazz But yeah, this part isn't that complicated (I'm a drummer), but it's very tasteful

[@okay.1336]

So, we're just going to disregard Matt Tong, I see!

[@MaxBrilhart]

Hubba BubbaBB Matt's great, as is The Walkmen's drummer. Both are very energetic and always seem to play what sounds right. I don't know if they're the best, but they should both definitely be in the convo.

[@LukeRomCastle]

How forget the moment when Anthony Kiedis played w/ Foals.

[@brandonjohnson1849]

Lmao

[@michaelrana2150]

Lucio RomCastle

[@Hayyden]

More like Baby Hitler.

[@vladislavvladik3591]

I saw this clip many years ago and it granted me a love for a good indie music. It's 2024, I'm now a grown a"ss man and I come back here every now and then with gratitude and pleasure with a smile on my face.

[@lilbunnyprincess]

I use to play this song like a hundred times a day when I was like 13-14 and now it still makes me happy to listen too ❤️

[@PokeyStix]

saaaame :) ahh man

[@montessaurus]

WOAH. First Foals song I've ever heard. Just now. Life 20 seconds ago. I am a fan. Fucking love it.

[@sukygill9998]

...and after all these years..still a classic!

[@ColumRogers]

I can't think of many bands that can pull off synths and trumpets better than the way Foals do. Everything thing they do is amazing Exceptional band!

[@layansarayra5655]

[@vrushab93]

these chords are a work of art

[@moosesnWoop]

A work of Math

[@feuilles5515]

omg i discover this group today,,,,,, and i looooooooooove foals

[@gerardodelriver4677]

Listen to Hummer. Best song so far.

[@chezbro98]

Agreed!

[@eudes8k]

WTF! Hummer it's not the best song. Miami it is

[@wilhelmcooning]

There were so many cool bands around in 2008: MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Glasvegas, but honestly Foals are the only one I still like listening to.

[@clauq156]

I am addicted to this. It makes me so happy and both sad at the same time. OMG I really really love this song. Like I could cry and laugh everytime.

[@nadiamarie81]

foals is 1 of the greatest bands ever

[@UnleashDLion]

A band isnt a band without all of its members, but in this case I dare to say, the bassist is the key point to their music.

[@harryjones3382]

Foals are getting better and better. Maturing musically. Jannis looks weird without a beard now!

[@matthewjury4385]

I will never forget this song

[@dickiemckay]

360p just isn't doing all those kitsch patterns justice!

[@FIVEPOUNDCOINS]

Forgot just how much i love this album

[@user-bu4pk6zm9h]

This brings me back oh boy

[@TheSnazzcast]

I really wish they'd go back to this style :(

[@hannahbella1594]

Jack Perry me too. Me too.

[@felixphilippe7224]

yeah they kinda suck now.

[@Joey29455]

If they played the same style of music over and over, it wouldn't be special. Their music goes into another direction now, which make their older music stand out more.

[@derickwiggins2320]

Yes

[@user-yf3cj3op1p]

They are, bud :)

[@sophierobinson9276]

Love it! love it and I got this on my favourite play list, listen to it often and I will never get fed up of listening to it!!! get indie sound! xxxx :-)

[@AphelionAries]

Amazing song. Robert would've loved this. Thank you.

[@emsburwell]

i could watch every single one of there vidoes all day and never be bored

[@soylentgreen6727]

IMO this is their best album, it's the math rock sound that does it. Reminds me of a Cast of Cheers. Except, not Irish.

[@reuireuiop0]

Math rock, never heard of that one. Cool ! But.. Cast of Cheers... not Irish ?? Oh I see, you mean, a band Mistook that as a hint to a TV series, referring to Big Bang Theory :D

[@J4nk]

love their clumsy movements :)

[@hudebnimasakry]

I just adore this song!

[@lashyer]

just saw them live at Roskilde.. they are so amazing live!

[@EllenRichardsonPhotography]

I can't get enough of this!

[@paganwolf5951]

I fell in 💘 with this video and song first time seeing it years ago, brings back great memories!

[@scottypotty4]

who cares if it is indie or not.... it is foals, and they are amazing.

[@TheUnderdogzX]

This song is so Sweep The Leg Johnny-esque. You can hear the influence. I didn't even realise until now.

[@cinjan83]

sosososo talented love them xxx

[@camiapi6398]

I really loved since the first time that I saw that video, and the most important thing ( beside the music) is the way as they dance, so excited it

[@Thegrandvoodoo]

This is why we americans value the brittish

[@Josiah_h]

Al Simons hell yeah!! The Brits have a amazing taste in music.

[@evanderchristy6712]

+josiah hernandez you guys have the best rock for sure. fucking hate the American music scene. all just cheap, watered down hip hop, pop and rap. all these so called "artists" are just horrible excuses for musicians, singers and overall human beings

[@liamarter8232]

James Rick oh ok

[@ThePainkiller9995]

@@evanderchristy6712 yikes, what an horrible opinion

[@evanderchristy6712]

ThePainkiller9995 great input... Prove me wrong then?

[@VoOrT3xX]

Very different than the recent albums but still instantly recognizable

[@entmeister]

Anyone else miss this version of foals. I mean I like their new stuff just not as into it as this

[@billerin7995]

Their new stuff is very different but is actually good as well. but i have to admit, Antidotes is the best album ive ever heard

[@gleedameister]

Nah they're killer all the way through I honestly think they're one of the best bands ever

[@jacquesmesrine8031]

i came back to listen to this tune and this album only. The rest is just pure Imagine Dragons meets Vampire Weekend shite. I Saw them in Madrid back in 2007 or 2008 and they were genuinely incredible but the new music is just so so so fuckin boring.

[@chloefodell5503]

i just found these guys today... they're pretty good so far!

[@StarvingSound]

Forever and ever I thought he was saying "We fly balloons on a steel cord" and then "a steel cord of love". And it still made sense.

[@stachiano]

how do they actually come up with the most quirkiest videos, i love them omg life

[@rishipancholi]

Still listening to this in 2019

[@yesimtakeoffcantstopmenow2663]

Me too

[@ZomfGJohn]

"All great men have mustaches"

[@reuireuiop0]

Yup, to be found on men of arts and science, and Hercule Poirot Exempt are those on policemen, army officers and certain politicians' followers. For these appendages, there's the dutch word "Snor". Totally covers that brush like lip coverage.

[@bontempo1271]

Ok, i'll be the one to comment on this in 2020. Great era. Unbeatable and perfect song. Nothing like it since. Shame great things can't continue for some odd reason

[@eksel7]

Este dia es muy importante, ya que es el dia de darles las gracias a los maestros de la musica por todo lo que nos dan con sus canciones desde los sentimientos que nos hacen sentir hasta la alegria por escucharlos. Feliz dia del musico.

[@venus12en10aries]

buena musica y muy lindos!!!!!!!!

[@godzassassin96]

blimey, this song sounds like its from like 20 years in the future, foals' best song !!! :D

[@keithfrance6191]

First few seconds of the video, the band are so tight & intense how they play !

[@TapakaHuLLIe]

one of the most favorite

[@idontlikepearls]

loooove the drums!

[@caliphotoguy]

these guys absolutely rock!

[@bethalo]

I love Foals.. they're all so ridiculousy hot it's crazy.

[@TheSerendipity111]

I love the crow & butterflies & the your Brave musical style.

[@TheLooksOfficial]

cracking tune and and lovely ladies, what more could you ask for!

[@uncreativee3711]

This band makes me want to watch indie movies

[@boyburger]

Defff one of my fav by them totally a lowkey banger by them

[@elthorath]

TIMELESS

[@ScreamingPuppetBoy]

This song is amazing

[@ldunn2]

Omg come back college days puhleaseeee. 🥰

[@chelseamb1999]

I first heard this when I was 10 but I didn't know who it was by, so glad I found out last year, fave band

[@mick0438]

great tune

[@tankboi8249]

“Guys we are going to film a video for ‘balloons’, everyone make sure to move as awkwardly as possible during it”

[@Ocasek77]

1:28 moonwalk!

[@alovelyanon]

i just died so hard man omfg that moonwalk was truly beautiful

[@vampyyrikuningas]

This is a great vid, really a great vid for this song!! The song is wonderful and together they are really so greeaaat... :DD

[@rzabikrukagajn5837]

So,is fantastic

[@nathansteveramirez]

i first heard this song on acid and was blown away by the intro i was on pins and needles waiting for the rest of it to play and when it did that guitar mayng that riff they play is forever stuck in my head ... but thats cool dont mind it this is my favorite song!!! XP

[@ApesMcCoy]

It's spontaneous, I'd probably agree if they rehearsed the 'moves' but they're just going with the flow lol. The bands energy & antics just adds to the great music they play, it's much better than watching certain artists just standing there throughout the whole set.

[@tblock18]

sweet moonwalk move 1:29

[@TheGorilon]

best group ever

[@dam80n]

it's a great video, Foals have great videos

[@mayisforxmastrees]

I love that lambda is written on the wall behind them

[@SONGABUNDANCE128]

Good to see the 80's had so much influence on all the bands now....

[@chelseamb1999]

Love it

[@aphexmoon767]

Fuck how I miss this. 2010 was a great year

[@eksel7]

Espero con ansias este dia,, para verles! C:

[@Tatacchan]

Is it just me or the guy with the moustache is insanely attractive? Btw, in total, I've listened to this song for 38 times....and I've only discovered it a few hours ago. Addicting much? Totally.

[@jackg9581]

It's you. Looking like Hitler is never attractive unless you're a total piece of shi*. Which is entirely possible.

[@juliecollis8264]

classic song

[@pgct1705]

Los teloneros de los RHCP! Muy pronto en Lima!

[@diegoarmijo]

imaginar que los voy a ver en chile por ir a RHCP , increible banda y yo que creia que no valian la pena , me trago esas palabras

[@dianitacuario]

chevere voz

[@LucasIsLove]

LOVEEEEEE

[@ripthisscarlett]

why is this song in a post-punk wave 80's music playlist hahahah i love foals

[@dabitmosh698]

YO ERA FAN DESDE QUE SALIO ESTA ROLA QUE RECUERDOS

[@prozacpeople]

MASTERPIECE!

[@WilSU1957]

@gedbangsdrums im going to see them in less than 2 weeksssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bogota - Colombia

[@Jameson3632]

This is what happens when five epileptics band together to make music...

[@xxcarl-littoxx7755]

zajebiste:)

[@TheLocalTraumatic]

HAPPY APRIL FOALS

[@dam80n]

las night, i smoked a joint, and then in the bed i saw this video in my phone, amazing!

[@JHaraldsen]

Amazing! RHCP with Foals here in Peru! =D

[@luisxort]

Como se llama la banda que tocó después de ellos en Santiago, Chile?

[@ragrj2009]

Nerds can play! I knew this band five minutes ago and they are good! I used to hear things like this when I was fourteen.

[@sweets2thesweetshop]

love love!!💋💋👍

[@maudiefinn2244]

This such an amazing song! And the drummer is rather attractive ;)

[@TheTenderhooligan]

@ajundly It annoys me when people say that. As a guitarist I'm going to tell you this now, remember it for future reference: "THE HIGHER YOU WEAR THE GUITAR, THE MORE COMFORTABLE AND EASIER IT IS TO PLAY."

[@SoulTrain75]

i like how they move while playing thats pretty cool.

[@MrFrenchCheese]

@Tarzipan58 He actually does not Lyrics are on the CD cover and it says "Chk Chk" :D

[@voldyisaunicorn]

don't you just hate it when all you want to do is have your tea, but then yannis goes and set the whole tea set on fire?

[@dialkforkaty]

@GLOmorous22 Indie Strut-movement performed by indie rock bands such as Tokyo Police Club and Foals. This movement consists of bobbing ones head while playing ones instrument whilst tapping the right foot. Yeah, Urban Dictonary ftw.

[@MrRago44]

The drummer is CRAZY, he played in Milan, everybody was sweating beacause of the temperature and he was playing wearing a busby..
