[@corvolynnecoylee7975]

Everyone needs to stop being so ignorant. read the description. A note from Ingrid on the video: Girls Chase Boys started out as a break up song but took on a deeper meaning as I continued writing. More than just being about my experience, its focus shifted to include the idea that, no matter who or how we love, we are all the same. The video takes that idea one step further, and attempts to turn stereotypical gender roles on their head. Girls don't exclusively chase boys. We all know this! We all chase each other and in the end we are all chasing after the same thing: love.

[@VideoGuy232]

We are not all the same

Note to the world "All the broken hearts in the world still beat, let's not make it harder than it has to be."

[@majimespirit8421]

That's what hooked me on this song. At the time I first heard it my son had broken my heart with really poor choices. I was so broken; cried a lot. In time he realized that he had made a huge mistake; and he got back on track! Time heals all wounds and love conquers all. All kinds of love! Parent's love for child is strongest love of all!

[@ZomIIXC]

Saw this for the first time on VH1 this morning, and the Sarah Palin / Hot Librarian fetish is strong with this one.

[@RespectMyArthurity]

In 2014, when I was two months away from leaving Manhattan, I got a job at a coffee shop in midtown. I was broke and had to walk from 85th and Amsterdam to 44th and 6th. This song was on my playlist during my trek and made my departure easier. Chvrches has been one of my best friends since.

[@chrishanna4178]

🤔? Um Chvrches? This is Ingrid Michaelson unless there is a Chvrches version I don't know of.

[@osnapitzjano]

It's really ironic how upset people are getting over this video. In case you didn't read the video, this music video is a homage to Robert Palmer's music video for Simply Irresistible. This music is an exact replica of the music video for Simply Irresistible apart from the genders that are being exploited are reversed. Ingrid is showing how we, as a society, are okay with females being used as sexual icons (like they are in Palmer's music video) but as soon as males are seen as feminine or sexual icons (like they are in Michaelson's music video) there is a massive uproar. This music video is pretty genius if you ask me and my respect for Ingrid Michaelson has only just increased.

[@mikaileecoates6693]

I so agree with you

[@RESMITHcarpentry]

osnapitzjano Yes exactly!

[@indiolopez5839]

Roxanne Smith

[@olemew]

osnapitzjano Well, then she failed cause there has not been a "massive" uproar (you can check the like/dislike bar). And males are being objectified all the time. PS: I like both the song and the video.

[@pluckyduck11y]

osnapitzjano I find that it proves how feminists who rant about "objectification" in music videos are hysterical and not to be taken seriously. The roles are reversed here and there is no uproar. The approval rating is over 90% positive and looking over the top comments, no one is outraged. They actually went out of their way to provoke it, and virtually nothing happened. No one cares about objectification unless it's the helpless women with no agency - the preposterous argument cock-skinning feminazis constantly inundate us with.

[@bacchante1]

With the way she's dressed, the hair and glasses -- I keep glancing up and seeing Sarah Palin singing this song. >_

How am I only seeing this now?? This is fantastic

[@TheFireflyGrave]

Same here, though I'd heard the song a bunch. Adds a whole different layer of meaning and is damn funny too.

[@Titus3rd]

As a heterosexual male, this song and video has been one of my guilty pleasures for a long time. I love to see how confident and beautiful the men are. It helps me remember that it's okay to want to be pretty sometimes.

[@justicethedoggo3648]

I prefer shorter shorts tho , they covering a lot of thighs . I like the thighs around the dong

[@kaaluha]

im right here with ya bro

[@1ofthewizards330]

It's all good man. I've been a pretty boy all my life and it's hard being a heterosexual pretty boy adult, but in highschool lots of girls chased me. If you need makeup and fancy clothes to feel pretty that's cool, or if you have a thin build with fine facial features, bright hair and bright eyes that's cool too.

[@samueld5418]

Quit capping, we know you aren't hetero.

[@kashkatunstall5138]

I swear just before I read this comment, in my head I thought - Damn! Their lip game is strong!

[@WolfieDoodleHeart]

Anya Bobonya its about how other music videos use women as a way to get views. and how its really stupid and how it would completely change if it were men taking the role of the women.

[@ChrisLamberts]

This video is a piece of art, if you didn't read the title this is an "Homage to Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible". It represents how society is ok with girls being used as sexual icons and how a reverse act of males as sexual icons can cause an uproar and by the looks of the comments this is what happened. Goal achieved. It's time to educate people about sexuality, sex, gender, and gender roles.

[@TigerMonthlyHits]

I think the video is deeper than that though, because men are sexualized every day in the industry. Just because you put a man in a dress and put makeup on him doesn't really sexualize him. It just makes him look more feminine.

[@paulinaacosta5566]

yo are so right! I am feminist jeje i like this video.

[@eagleblackbelt]

I personally think this video puts all the men and women involved into about the same light. The women backup dancers are wearing very right clothing as well as the men and even Ingrid herself is wearing a much more revealing outfit than she usually does in a music video.

[@ForNowItsMatt]

There's an unescapable message of equality of men and women here. Women are stronger than we give them credit for and can, in fact, be the pursuer rather than the pursued. I think it breaks down the sexist stereotype and when it comes down to it, we're all just people loving people. Not men, women, transgendered, gay, straight, bi... We're people pursuing people. Maybe I'm just reading into too much but that's what I get out of this :)

[@Cyancat123]

I first heard this song on the radio when I was about 9 years old in 2014-15. It was been living in my head NON STOP since then and I was convinced it was a song I heard in my dreams. I could never find it online because I thought the lyrics were "I like girls, jinks, boys, jinks girls". Last week, I was eating at a chinese restaurant with my family when I could *very* faintly hear that "ahAhahAhaAh" on the radio in the next room. I LAUNCHED out of my seat, whipped out my phone, ran in and held up my phone with the shazam app to the speaker. The sheer frustration I was in when I found out it was "girls CHASE boys" is indescribable, but it was such a surreal experience to finally find this song.

I used to work in a casino, and this was one of the few songs they played over the intercom that didn't make me want to die. I could barely hear it, as with most of the music on their playlists, so I never knew what to look up. Today my telephone identified it while it played in a store, and now it's so fulfilling to play it through proper headphones and hear the texture of it all. Delightful song, lovely lyrics.

It's interesting how when the women in Robert's video are portrayed, we have accepted this look and ideology, and it's okay to see women being sexualized. Yet when viewing men, it's seen through a different lens. This video makes one think very critically. Great job Ingrid!

Its not men being sexualized.... it's the fact they look homosexual. You see male models in women's music videos all the time and no one says anything.

[@reptilected4097]

Eric Feick you can’t “look” homosexual. Many gay men hate wearing make up, same as many straight men. What you mean is that they perhaps look more “feminine” because we typically associate makeup with women in our society

It's not as if women wearing those things occurs naturally, either, women are gaudily sexualized like this as some kind of norm, and the video simply reverses it towards men to show ridiculous it truly is. Women wearing these things, but not men is just a random standard someone decided to pull out of their butt and people have simply gotten used to it. Not to mention that make-up and all that jazz were worn by men first. I mean, really, many people don't even question anything or look beyond what's right in front of their noses, I guess.

[@willritter4076]

honestly, both the videos are equally stupid... 2 great songs, 2 lousy annoying videos... on a different topic, i always thought this song was by Sara Bareilles, is she singing backup by any chance?

[@SuperMonXYZ]

Take it a step further and think about why men and women are objectified differently. Women are objectified for our bodies because our sexual value comes from how young we look and that is connected to fertility . Men are objectified for their ability to provide and protect. It's feminist dogma to think men aren't objectified. 90 percent of homeless are male.. And they are disposable to society. You can look up Karen Straughan and her video The Disposable Male.

[@annarae8297]

This song was one of my favorites as a child, before I had ever even saw the video. Since I have, it’s become even more important to me. The song and the video are both absolutely amazing

[@waynekue1]

I always remember Ingrids movements the most when I listen to this song. It’s so meticulous and beautiful in a very specific way.

[@hotpink000]

When I first heard this, thought she was saying "cheese boys, cheese curls" and I was googling aimlessly for it. Good thing I came across it on Spotify!

[@andrewgraziano86gmai]

I am a conservative Christian and find this video to be a beautiful piece of art. I was sincerely moved at the simplicity used to reflect how love does not discriminate. I am proud of this video and of Ingrid's message. I apologize how people of the same faith and political affiliations have offended an hurt others, not all of us think that way.

[@Seminolegirl1992]

You sir, are awesome. There are not many men like you. I'm a liberal, and dare I say it, atheist, and the fact you are so open minded restores my faith (slightly) in humanity. Too often I see men, and women sometimes, that close their minds and judge before they know anything. Plus, you write well. Rather legibly might I add. Shows how education pays off. Ignorant people seem quick to judge.

[@andrewgraziano86gmai]

Ashley White Thank you very much! I am very humbled by your compliments and recognition.

[@sweetbopeep00]

they look good, boys look really good in heels too. youre just mean and close minded if you hate this video solely because of the fact the boys are wearing makeup and pink, grow up, thank you goodbye

[@julielemon7383]

I agree with you.

[@sweetbopeep00]

Julie Lemon we have the same first name ^^

[@MARTINEZ2572]

lol, no matter what I do, I doubt i'd look good in heels, besides the fact that I can't walk in them

[@crazymusicalgoof7]

Their makeup is on fucking point

[@DanielFlores-qc1hu]

You do know that heels were invented for men to wear as a fashion of the workplace. But women adopted it after men realized they could never find a hard enough element to support their stature, weight and still look stylish as a heel.

[@CurtisGuest1664]

As far as I'm concerned it's art! I think it's a brilliant concept to objectify the male form as we've been objectifying women since the dawn of life!

[@RavShokar]

Curtis Guest to be honest I didn't get it first. Thanks for explaining!

[@CurtisGuest1664]

😭😭😭😭 I LISTENED TO THIS SONG WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND I WAS LOOKING FOR IT FOR 3-4 YEARS!!! I HEARD A GLIMPSE OF IT ON THE RADIO AND I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!! I’m crying😭😭😭😭😭😭 THIS IS MY SOUL JAMM!!!!

[@gnoihc2727]

Can someone explain to me the music video? I'm so lost

[@Stryder45]

watch the Simply Irresistible music video by Robert Palmer... the thing is that well this video should've had just boys and them kinda of lifeless... but on a side note his video was risque and oversexualized for its time... tame and lame by our standards today...

[@mikewalsh3450]

The song is supposed to act as an olive branch to the opposite sex, and the video serves as a means to further that peace offering. Michaelson is trying to show how both sexes objectify and use (in different ways, mind you) one another during courtship. Because the objectification of the male is much more subtle in real life, she chooses to compare apples to apples by portraying men as we usually see women in the media today. Hence, the emphasis on their beauty and sex appeal. But the video, truly drives home this point of comparable objectification, when some of the male dancers are literally replaced by females. Thus cementing this idea of male/female interchangeability. When combined with such lyrics as,: "You played me now I play you too, Let's just call it over... All the broken hearts in the world still beat Let's not make it harder than it has to be" it's not difficult to see that Michaelson is simply trying to be fair when analyzing the modern relationship. Because she thinks both sexes use and exploit each other, she's trying to ameliorate the feeling of betrayal both parties feel when discovering the true intentions their partner had for their relationship. She comes to the conclusion that since both sexes do awful things when pursuing/"chasing" one another, we shouldn't hold any grudges. After all, even when our heart has been ripped to shreds, it does, in fact, still beat. TLDR: Breakups hurt, but get over it... we're all just assholes

i heard this song on the radio of a taxi about 6 years ago when i was around 7/8; on my way home from school with my mom after a rough day... i immediately fell in love with it- the melody, the lyrics, the chorus. i’m 14 now, almost 15, and i still love it

[@PurpleDerpy]

Just gonna say this. If the video makes you uncomfortable, ask yourself why. Admittedly, I was watching this for the first time and I was a little put off by the big muscular men in rather feminine clothing and makeup. But then I realized, there's nothing to be uncomfortable about. Listen to the words. "It's all the same thing." It's not about gay rights, it's about gender roles! A man in a dress and capris, whatever. A girl in baggy jeans and a hoodie, so what? Seriously consider it. Why do we apply gender to clothing and inanimate objects? And then, why does it matter?

[@bradfranks3428]

Cuz there is a fine line bee tween girls and boys lets and I don't think we should break it

[@PurpleDerpy]

brad franks What is this fine line? Biologically, I can understand. But clothing? Behavior? Why does it matter?

[@adrade1854]

PurpleDerpy I wouldn't worry too much about someone who clearly has a very loose grasp of simple English.

[@epothos1]

Bit early for that type of evolutionary thinking from a existential point of view I can comprehend but for a more practical world we must apply Occam's razor for the sake of conventional thinking quick albeit unreasonable applications of disposition to any social apparatuses i.e. clothing, face paint, etc. are created for the need for order.
