John Maus - Touchdown (Official Video)

[@RonanMurphy08]

This video taught me everything I know about football. Now I play in the NFL. Thank you John Maus.

[@nicholaslollis3372]

That’s really fn funny

[@BeeHatGuy]

Omg, Ronan Murphy, can I have your autograph?

[@alexandrep4913]

Hey, man I watched that legendary touchdown in 98.

When Coach Maus said "duh-duh-duh-duh-duh duh-duh-duh-duh-duh" I really felt that

[@Windows969]

John Maus is on another level.

[@sabrinasjourney]

Joseph MC the video is supposed to be low budget and corny...that's the point lol!

[@darkdork78]

Joseph MC I would suggest you look around for the very few video and written interviews conducted with Maus. The man is brilliant and that does usually translate into his music. Hope that's better than the responses you've gotten this far.

i like to believe we are the player and john maus is our coach

[@brightonborscht]

yeah I mean that makes us the music...because the composer is coach of the sound

[@jordanpetersonon200mgdiaze3]

Yeah bc MAUS is the name of the player too so we have many levels here.

John Maus' aesthetic appeal is both musically and visually consistent and unmatched. It is amazing how he effortlessly pulls this off.

[@blood_rain]

this is the coolest song about football i've ever heard

[@econogate]

This could easily wind up being played in football stadiums someday in the future...he made a simple and relatable song about a important point of the game. It's as good as we are the champions, but a little more specific.

[@MWorsa]

I’m pretty sure this song isn’t about football 😂

[@frazzlederp1295]

Awesome song, sounds like a song about football by a goth who never watched a sporting event let alone football on his life. Radness.

[@chaunceybaker6612]

I believe Maus is actually a fan of football, if his Twitter feed is to be believed.

[@grimsong2237]

More like what football would look like on the ild Sci Fi show Lexx. Regardless, still love it.

you can tell he knows about football based on the lyrics

Should be played in all stadiums!

[@Schixotica]

God the breakdown in the middle is soo electrifying

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

The drum part is so gangster. Especially when it comes to the change ups, accompanied by the bass, this song would make a great hip hop break beat, but it gains this totally different aesthetic once you factor in the ‘glittery’ twinkling synth arpeggios! The video, with its filtering with solarizing effects, or whatever it is that gives it that fuzzy exposure, has its own visual aesthetic that really is perfectly matched to the music. Couldn’t have made a better more perfect video to accompany this song. The back drop beat though, could be a straight up hip hop anthem! John Maus - the most Un-SPAM thing from Austin Minnesota!

[@reservoirdude92]

We need you back, Johnny Boy! Now more than ever ❤

[@SkeleTre]

It truly feels like an infinitely never-ending football game, in the best mesmerizing way. Also, a decent way to relate with and calm down your father.

[@user-vh5pr8lo1x]

@@maxhinz8928 he's said that this song was inspired by hallucinations of his football coach telling him to go for the touchdown, and that following through on the advice usually went well, so i think the point is that there are certain situations in which throwing yourself at the problem with reckless abandon rather than taking a calculated "sensible" approach is better.
