Abdoulie95 he's trying to say that the chorus of feeling it still sounds like this song (wait a minute mr postman)

Also, you should check 'How The Leopard Got Its Spots' for another uncanny resemblance to The Beatles on their music.

This is why young dudes don't get laid anymore. If she's not offended why are you? It's a cheesy pickup line I came up with on the spot, online. Women appreciate the effort if nothing else. Try not being so sensitive, you'll get laid more.

I like that Portugal is rocking their own shirts in this vid. I think they might be the first band to ever do that and pull it off.

I could just as easily say "Portugal The Man lyrics: 'Yeah, I don't trust the government..'"

[@houloa554]

Is everyone just going to ignore the fact that this song is so very political and they orchestrated it so eloquently?

[@matthewkain453]

hou loa I like the song but not them attacking info wars in the music video .

[@brittanylea5716]

Like 95% of their songs are political

[@dielawn2723]

@Elisa Castro LOL oh yes dude you clearly havent listened to any of their music. literally all political. dumass

[@carlstraka1093]

Elisa, where is your evidence for them having “changed the song” for its original concept? Sounds like you don’t like hearing about socio-economic struggles. Do you understand the lyrics? Sounds like you don’t

[@toddhoward234]

@@matthewkain453 info wars is purly performative, sure if you agree with them they are fun to watch but you'll learn nothing from them

Why does "The Man" kind of sound like Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots?

Gracie Peter that's exactly what I was thinking. When I started the vid I wasn't looking at the screen and I was confused why Tyler was in the video then I realized it wasn't him

I started listening to them two years ago but I’m so glad they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️

[@smokebuh]

a lot of you guys are very late to this band. I suggest listening to their first album and also listening to their old band Anatomy Of A Ghost.

[@Deathcabforeli]

smokebuh I found them in 2012 Thanks to FIFA 12, I like all their work but personally Evil Friends is my favorite album by them.

[@daherstorian3857]

smokebuh anatomy of a ghost was garbage they sounded like every other emo band they are great now especially the first album

[@smokebuh]

Da Herstorian It is a matter of opinion. I personally enjoyed the raw sound that reminded me of ALEXISONFIRE. But they may have realized it themselves and thankful they changes for the better cause they are what I tell people the modern day beatles

[@christielee3626]

smokebuh yeeasaa and the satanic satanist

[@tulip8388]

i found out about them like 3 yrs ago haha but i just recently actually got into them . thanks for the rec i'm still going through the process of listening to all their songs

Ever since i seen these guys play at AMAs show heard this song and now i play it over&over&over again. Very addictive song very catchy.did someone put a spell on this song cuz i cant stop listening to it.

My fav band of all time reppin on genius! great song, love learning the meaning behind it, but where's our little stoner Kyle? Obviously John and Zach should be in this, but weird to have Eric in this but not Kyle

[@GabriSTFU]

I've seen you guys with Cage The Elephant, 05/06/16. I didn't know who you guys were and now I listen to your shit. Keep it up. ♥ This isn't my favorite song, but I am so glad you guys got on the radio.
