*Puts this in a playlist called “obscure songs from my childhood that have been playing as background music in my head for years and for the longest time, I thought I just made it up, but then I remembered dancing to it as it was being played when I was a child, so I looked up the chorus lyrics and found this”*

I genuinely checked your account for the playlist, that’s a title and a half.

fuck, I'm old. Maybe I'll never die, I'll just keep growing younger with you, and you'll grow younger, too.

WHY DOES POLYVINYL HAVE THE BEST ARTISTS

cause we have the best fans and supporters

[@panchikofan123]

@@PolyvinylRecords yay!

[@oh_why_her]

Just last year I got into of Montreal. I thought I had recognized Kevin Barnes’s voice and when I first watched this video it reminded me of Yo Gaba Gaba. I then found out Barnes DID perform a song for the show! I proceeded to go down a rabbit hole and found out not only were they on the show, but bands I listened to with my mom when I was really little like The Killers, MGMT, Apples in the Stereo, Metric, and MCR. It was so great to see I’ve always been so influenced by these indie pop and rock bands!

[@hOttOddYfAiLz]

I had no idea Metric was also on there. That show was amazing. The episode with Jack Black I still sing with my daughter out loud while we rollerblade. 😂 Happiness can come from the weirdest places.

[@moon730]

my mom showed me this music video when I was like 6 and it scared me and fascinated me at the same time....still a classic tho

[@PolyvinylRecords]

yo, shoutout to your mom

[@nc8192]

I took my sons then 10 and 16 to an of Montreal show in Arizona. They're now 12 and 18 and huge oM fans. Youngest one has David Barnes' stickers all over his wall and several posters from the albums. Both have signed records and pictures with Kevin. I am the biggest fan tho, but it totally warms my heart to see them embrace the music we listen to. Can't wait for the San Diego show next week! PS. We are also HUGE STRFKR fans and have taken them to their shows too

[@Alertmix]

Dude same!

[@tobymj0781]

Same when i was little my dad showed me this and i was confused

[@jennvalenzuela5819]

Wow I am getting UP THERE....

[@someone-ss7bm]

I’ve struggled with anxiety all my life but it’s been particularly bad lately and this song makes me feel like everything will be okay. To me this song is about forgetting about your problems and finding joy in life.

[@Beatjoy5511]

I remember having a really scary moment during an acid trip and my friend plays this while we’re drawing out our trip. It was so fucking magical with this song playing. I oddly cherish that memory

[@ollierose1783]

I used to listen to this song on repeat while robotripping and it took me to a comforting world, my addiction was dark but the moments of joy I got from listening to this were so elevated and treasured Clean now and the song still hits, didn't know it was 18 years old now! Its 4 years old to me

[@BillyD]

this song is my childhood

[@Deprivivle]

You mean half the lines in the song😂

[@stevefan69]

the video's aesthetic makes me really happy in a way.. sort of reminds me of the frutiger metro style

[@okgoogleplay3500]

I love aesthetics so much.

[@AmayaKatana]

This is such a nostalgic song for me. I used to game a lot back in the day and I had a guild member in my guild that introduced me to this song. I would randomly shout "LET'S PRETEND WE DON'T EXIST" in guild chat and he would always shout/sing "LET'S PRETEND WE'RE IN ANTARCTICA" back to me. I miss those days

[@MrIsaaclovesyou]

You never hear a fade out of the chorus in music anymore

[@user-ot7jy2xv5o]

I love this video not just because the song is so great, but also because this is an organic time capsule from the first year of youtube. Still in its original 144p, no modern update, no re-release, no new video. Just a pure happy music video from what I remember as a much happier time, perhaps seen through rose-tinted glasses.

[@CinderDuck]

The video is so dark but the song is so happy...

[@froggypunisher1491]

True

[@goctagonrecovery3270]

The video is dark in a happy and colorful way

[@jennvalenzuela5819]

Have you really looked at the video?

[@akeerahtownsend5040]

And I love it (I’m not ok TwT )

[@luciousdoesart8327]

Replying an older comment but I disagree, the lyrics are actually dark when you know the references that are being made in them

[@Greentoad6]

"Let's go outback tonight, cuz life will still be there tomorrow!" Does anyone remember those commercials?? Instantly put the two together after hearing this song ^^ Same peeps!!

[@katianovakk]

Outback actually ripped them off. There was a lawsuit I believe.

[@seanmccauley7177]

doodl3bugg13 Not ripped off, Kevin Barnes gave them the okay. www.stereogum.com/3401/of_montreal_like_steak/franchises/commercial-appeal/

Really funny to consider of Montreal suing outback after hearing Kevin actually singing “let’s go to outback tonight”

[@nathanielsmith2926]

I can't believe this song came out closer to the 1980s than to 2023.

[@king.raccoon]

No, the song was used with the bands consent, there was no lawsuit. Here's a quatoe from band frontman Kevin Barnes : We were approached by Outback Steakhouses ad agency asking about making their own cover version of Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games) for one of their commercials. We thought it would be totally amusing to hear their take on one of our songs as a jingle.

[@luciijojo3610]

Let's have bizarre celebrations... let's forget who, forget what, forget where. We'll have bizarre celebrations... I'll play the Satyr in Cyprus, you the bride being stripped bare.

Let's have bizarre celebrations... let's forget when, forget what, forget how. We'll have bizarre celebrations... we'll play Tristan and Iseult, but make sure I see white sails. Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica. Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica. Maybe I'll never die, I'll just keep growing younger with you, and you'll grow younger, too. Now it seems too lovely to be true, but I know the best things always do. Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica. Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica. Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica. Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica. Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica. Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica.
