[@WafflezDay]

If anyone was curious, the clips (not including the guy with water behind him) are from the movie Jason and the Argonauts. It's a classic.

[@joshybratwurst1398]

I knew it looked familiar! Haven't seen that in a long time.

[@amateurwave3593]

I revisted this video just to comment that lol touche

[@amateurwave3593]

@Henry Johnson at least the video is. Dont know about the song.

[@poulatak]

well duh... ^^

[@LayneBenofsky]

I think the guy (on a raft, with a set of pipes) is from Aguirre the Wrath of God. :D

[@hansgiesberts7348]

This music doesn't age!

[@christiancatalano8562]

Ratatat is foreverr

[@Wazkaty]

@@christiancatalano8562 Totally agree, it is music, there is no temporality, only beauty ! Long live to music

[@coochiecheese2805]

It sure doesn’t!!

[@satyr1349]

Indeed 2 yrs even later

[@cedricvogel3481]

[@huggymonster101]

ratatat is the only band where i have said "this is my favorite song" about every song

[@radiofreeurope]

Too true

[@soleyius360]

tHE LYRICS OF THIS SONG HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE.

[@vakakak8503]

UAAU, UAA'AA'AU, UA'AU

[@Teetsfortotsxoxo1]

LOL I love this comment thread

[@GiraffesEatStuff]

I am not born of a giraffe. STOP HARASSING ME!!

[@soleyius360]

The Amazing Patata You should change your name to "The Amazig Farts"

[@GiraffesEatStuff]

"The Amazing Anal Sphincter" could be cool too, I'd still fart :P

[@7bitscience]

I think it's really interesting how the notes at the beginning sound like they are reversed, but the notes still have a sharp attack and long decay. You would normally expect notes that have been reversed to have a long attack and sharp decay, the first half of The Mind Electric is a good example of what reversed music would normally sound like. These strange notes would imply that they were either recorded on something that has a long attack and sharp decay, which is not how most instruments normally work, or there is some very clever editing to reverse the notes, then swap the attacks and decays, or just reverse the sustains. Another possibility is that the notes are played with a long attack and decay, reversed, then the new attack (originally the decay) is cut down to make it sharp. I think that is a super cool effect.

[@radiofreeurope]

Or maybe they just silenced the beginnings and gradually made a crescendo automation

[@Kreege]

Check out shpongle if you like that kind of effect

[@H3Vtux]

Saw them live in Raleigh last night. It was incredible....

[@MADDOGmjb]

+H3Vtux I was at the Ritz too! Dope show, but damn what a terrible opening act.

[@rockomundo]

When RATATAT sang "Waeu Waeou. Waou." I FELT THAT!

[@needalight7259]

made me laugh

[@uhuh6764]

Mood

[@Jar0fTeeth]

WϿ

[@koomsterio1804]

truly

[@Cydro12]

I feel like I'm the only sober person listening to Ratatat!

[@Morgandc1111]

You're not alone..

[@MCCloudCraft]

Seriously? I thought I was!

[@SlimmCutta]

Cydro12 lol

[@superrbaked]

youree riggth

[@superrbaked]

that my hand it smol

[@benjaminishere]

It's like RATATAT took every possible human emotion, converted it to a beat or instrument, and play it in every song.

[@jayboxboii1285]

2k10 music hit different. 🔥🔥

[@christian9776]

Facts bro. That soundtrack still lives with me today. Miss it badly.

[@Prebound_]

NBA2k '10

[@pyrotechnick420]

RATATAT is like the Daft Punk we needed but didnt deserve

[@tigab37]

haha its like someone slipped a glass of water into my acid!

[@Fabzil]

Everytime I see this title, I can't help but whisper : "Falcon, PUNCH !"

[@roymakescomics]

Whisper? I yell that shit.

[@phoenixicarus]

I've been listening to Ratatat for years and i still can't get enough of them

[@numinousnihil3804]

I have no interest in drugs, but the more i watch ratatat music videos, the more i'm convinced that I need to be high to fully appreciate them.

[@Lrossbach]

Numinous Nihil you are correct.

[@Mbbbbnnnn]

oh boy you're right

[@joncrap]

+Numinous Nihil I'm stoned drunk, and Ratatat is equally amazing sober, as well. Words.

[@mattlogue2657]

+Numinous Nihil no they do the drugs for you.

[@mikedubbs3391]

+Numinous Nihil You should get some shrooms or LSD and watch the video for Cherry

[@ILOVEPAIN24]

I've never been so simultaneously amazed and confused.

[@darthhaze2]

I haven't listen to this song since high school 4 years ago. Holy shit the nostalgia. And this has to be one of my favorite music videos of all time.

[@1134sapper]

only one thing comes to mind while watching this, and that is the way i felt when i went 37hrs without sleep working a double all day for the parade of homes many many yrs ago

[@C0M0estas]

One of my favorite songs, hands down.

[@Brendan-Black]

Same.

[@katevc]

This video taught me that anger is meaningless. Of course I was tripping balls, but thank you Ratatat

[@patsack8807]

LSD HOLY SHIT

[@yerk3]

20 minutes into netflix and chill and he gives you this face at 1:14

[@decker625]

This is the only piece of music that nearly can't be enjoyed without watching the video simultaneously. The sounds are captured perfectly in the expressions of the people in it. The music is given more depth by the video. Amazing

[@Stefadin]

one of the best sountracks from NBA 2k10!!

[@lYllXl]

This video just changed my life!!!!!~ Absolutely amazing manipulation of color, frame rate, and sound combined together to create something very odd, almost unsettling, but totally absorbing and captivating!!! Ratatat is like no other group of musicians! They have such a unique flavor to there music

[@Srcsqwrn]

This song. I remember when I first heard it, I think it changed me as a person. A hidden secret piece of me.

[@supertaoman12]

That some Spongebob: The Lost Episode shit right there

[@marijntjej5453]

Haha true

[@maxwussow3351]

haha so funny

[@MediHusky]

Ratatat is one of those bands that are just beautiful sounding sober. But then you take just a few drugs and they sound even more dope. It's like they put bits of music at certain frequencies only audible while under the influence. Too good.

[@madejson87]

nba 2k10 lebron and cavs, memories

[@joncrap]

Epic beards are epic. Also, Ratatat is boss.

[@Felfa]

Jason and the Argonauts!

[@dannybenoit]

why is ratatat so amazing?

[@zamanimusic]

can't get enough of your music!!! lovely melodies, awesome arrangements

[@kennedyrosso7813]

Everything about this is just so ... Right

[@Lwyte17]

I got a more Left vibe from it

[@facegrinderface]

how is that last part from 2:45 onwrads so intense for me ... indescribable intense

[@MrEdesign]

Can not get enough of Ratatat! Please make more of those wicked music videos! ^^

[@megafuerza]

excelente canción!!!. Me encanta este grupo!

[@ProjectLivin1246]

NBA 2K10 KOBE THE BEST 2K

[@burritomaster6000]

Damn this song was in that game? Sick!

[@MegaPatrickbateman]

Ratatat is EPIC....Lookin forward to all their future tunes!

[@Traplord_Wizards]

Just got back from your show at the Ogden in Denver, SICK. Seriously, words cannot describe the face melting that took place.

[@digotron2000]

Are some of the clips from Jason and the Argonauts?

[@gallowgang9944]

nah, its just a guy losing his mental from listening to this song... true story B-)

[@hipsterpantsgladstone9767]

DIGOTRON Yeah, all of them are

[@StephenWebb1980]

yeah.

[@Thingamajigs]

Weird as fuck. And thats why i like it.

[@grimblegrumble]

This is a song that I'll listen to for at least a week. And that's a lot considering my constant music surfing. Really really good.

[@Phrame1]

Just saw this in concert. SO GOOD!!

[@GiRR007]

im trippin BALLLSSSS

[@rosanekir]

I always thought that the human voice was fundamental for a song to be great... I was mistaken...

[@funincluded]

God damn it, this is amazing. What a craft editing is. It's our generation's art form

[@Theonlyuberpickle]

We get it guys, you're 15 and had your first joint.

[@cjstarkey]

Saw this live at The Governor's Ball the other night. Holy fuck honestly this song is so much better live. The bass was so unreal.

[@blabaduplatinum1]

They closed with this song at the venue I went to. I know exactly what you're talking about. I thought the floor was coming apart at the end of the song. Every time I hear it I remember the feeling in my feet.

[@themadscientest]

late 2k's early 10's was just a magical time for music and visual art, wtf happened when 2015 rolled around?

[@ichange6421]

Imagining yeahhh is sort of emancipation really living every day with precision

[@1975111111]

one of the best music videos of the year, hands up!

[@ProudPinoy93]

Scary as HECK but its not scary when i play NBA 2k10 and listen to this wonder why.......

[@marcap9757]

RIGHT!? My friend showed me this music video one time and he thought I was ridiculous when I told him the intro/music video creeped me out

[@SuspiciousFrog69]

I can see the molecules in the air.

[@HolyHaxorMcGrath]

Java,guava,Tova... wait... what,huh? tu,that's your iconic Buddha. he is Javanese.

[@craighalpin1917]

The character from 1:36 reminds me of Jeff from American dad 😂

[@s8715053122004]

Nba2k anyone 2019?

[@shemarkearney3533]

[@vinceevan1079]

ok who slipped me acid 5 minutes ago.

[@deathkampdrone]

i love their videos! so random and trippy. their actual albums are pretty neat too. :)

[@ExplodiumYGO]

this is one of the best songs out there.....just amazing

[@donyzi]

✨ NBA 2K10 ✨

[@russellfong9160]

this will be amazing with oculus rift.

[@nellenbacher]

The lower part of that woman's face looks familiar... Just realized now, but I'm 99% sure it's mine. I had uploaded a fan music video when I was 18 to YT, w/ red/ yellow motif and filmed the lower half of my face, a mini vegas light, and some airplane footage mirrored. Would be awesome if that was the case. Been a fan since 2006. Music still slaps.

[@SaucyyAce]

Doubt it

[@nellenbacher]

@@SaucyyAce ok, weird thing for me to lie about but sure

[@namefaceanonymous]

this is so tight. i would love to see you guys live. consider coming to Cincinnati

[@Btron4ever]

Deepfakes sure had a trippy ass upbringing

[@phdddude21]

FALCON JAB RESET INTO STOMP INTO KNEE

[@hakusonata]

lmao im dead

[@rominparis8617]

Did he ?

[@RomenRok]

This video is SPOT on with the feeling of the song. Officaily my favorite video right now.

[@knf4451]

What I look and feel like when I'm on one of those foot vibrating thingies at the fair >

[@DJstarrfish]

Kids, I'm not saying you should do drugs, but if you do, watch this video at the same time and post results.

[@dylansaus]

The whole lp3 album on a little bit of lsd gave me a huge mindblow, it was so good. It was 7 yrs ago in New Zealand Same goes for listening to Lemon Jelly. These guys know

[@PSgameFilms]

NBA 2K10

[@ultrablue123]

THE FUCKING PERCUSSION IS OFF THE GODDAMN WALL IN THIS SONG!

[@jessicabremer9735]

I picture the Falcon Jab, as a fast, undetected, downward punch straight to the genital region. "Like a falcon upon it' prey.,'' this debilitating strike renders the target useless to defend itself.'

[@derekarneson4140]

Don't do drugs?

[@minihjalte]

hpr0tagonist Or do more of them.

[@badtotheappendixx]

be drugs

[@AZNman11111]

"The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao" And so goes the Falcon Jab

[@kellermikey]

ratatat videos are those that i try to stay away from while tripping, but i awslay find myself trapped watching them

[@BoomStick1]

Ratatat rocks! Dude in the beginning was probably taking a mean ass shit, or he was just about to falcon jab someone in the throat.

[@daley689]

So creative, awesome sound, best I've heard in a while. GOOD WORK!

[@Medievil31]

This is probably the most badass video I have ever seen!!! What a awesome song and trippy too!!!

[@FelipeIII3]

Increíble.

[@AudioDregs]

My favorite Ratatat video!

[@lazylank]

It doesn't always matter matter if you understand a music video or not, as long as you just appreciate it for what it is. And sometimes things are made to not make sense intentionally.

[@evanvandeneinde7095]

Normal people cant hear the lyrics. Those who know can taste them.

[@dattomcat89]

The sheer trippyness of this video has rendered me incapable of submitting a legitimately significant or worthwhile comment. All I'll say is that this is a some crazy/awesome/weird shit.

[@llamaoftime]

Beautiful

[@ofnarcr]

Where's the comment where he says "i don't always trip balls, but when i do i listen to ratatat" Best quote ever.

[@KeatonsCarlott]

this is something everyone can enjoy

[@stellabluelulu]

Just saw them at Lollapalooza. AMAZING LIVE! SO EPIC!

[@DonEnsamul]

Also, I'm guessing this is what happens in between being blinded by the light of the PAUNCH and being sent into another dimension by its immense force.

[@marcusd3665]

hes gone slummin his heavy now and a boy

[@StephenWebb1980]

Now that I think about it, I think most if not all the characters in this clip are from Jason and the Argonaughts! EPIC!

[@Chelsssbell]

im freakin out man!

[@kellermikey]

tripping to this video was a great idea. thank you Ratatat for helping realize what life is, i appreciate it much.

[@RebirthMeditations]

No words. Just awesome!

[@nexttone]

i put this on repeat during my flights DC-LA-Hawaii.... im addicted now

[@JsRf13]

the related tags: cabbage, chimpt, bacon, ridge, bagel, rub incredibly relevant to the video

[@dudemcpersonguy]

I think I just made a spiritual connection here.

[@SuperGamer87]

It's now come to a point in my life where this makes complete sense.

[@jubalate]

RATATAT FOREVER!

[@bulasev]

I think this is the craziest clip I've ever seen. I love the clip and I love the music. Ratatat is my kind of music! They need to come to Hungary urgently!!!! :)

[@eve_ontrak]

woah just woah ... ratatat is incredible.
