[@jendiamond90026]

I love this and can't get it out of my head. icey icey

[@MyPhobo]

I heard this song when it first came out, and now I have herpes

[@TheManInTheLongBlackCoat]

I’m interested in how they’re connected..?

[@n8tehgr8est]

I had herpes when this song first came out, now I heard this song.

[@berej1]

Makes me feel very nostalgic.

[@いぬとかねことか]

this makes me happy

[@LittleFishChan]

Makes me feel so happy.

[@thespread]

I love how serious they look.

[@Joeyjoejr100]

I'm still listening to this and don't plan on stoping

[@davegregory462]

[@AFeblowitzFilms]

This is my favorite version of this song. Great to see it online!

[@wildlifeaideaustin3194]

I love this song!

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

Wonderful song, wonderful video, wonderful EP.

[@jerryrigging]

great pop song...unique video....great post....thank you

[@bartlettandbosc]

I get the feeling they were listening to Ocean Man by Ween when they wrote this. Just a feeling. But I get it everytime I hear it.

[@Mat-bw3ok]

Aye... im a big ween fan and kept thinking the same. Love both artists

[@CouncilEstatePopMusic]

yes indeed. to a land they understand...

[@Fahmbo]

They were wonderful to see live in their early career. Good times, noodle salad.

[@martinmuller7107]

Inspiring... Great work... Nice and... Dreamy takin' my physics forward to another mind map in Lyrics/Space/Rythm and... Spirit!111

[@tootsiePOP745]

love this song.

[@MinnieCeeOfficial]

i feel like im watching a segment on nick jr.

[@rodmclennan1165]

Thanks to 6 Music for introducing me to this fantastic wee song

[@StepanCaveman]

da best band in da world!

[@sarisahmed4146]

in high school i went to a friends house about 10 years ago and he played me this song. fucking hell, im old now i guess. song still slaps tho

[@zonkster909]

awesome stuff

[@mehcol]

she's so cute and lovely. great song.

[@ProgRockDan1]

Cool song and video

[@otukel]

Tropi-COOOL!

[@otukel]

WIDOW CITY is a great album.

[@140gsmith]

No one seems to mention the Captain Beefheart influence. Not so clear on this version of this tune, which is closer to standard indie-rock, but Gallowsbird's Bard is full of poppier, sexier Beefheart-isms. By the way, I like this band a lot, because they get more interesting with repeated listenings

[@henrikeickhoff9009]

production sucks and instrumentation sucks. it sounds a rich kid sesame street, even worse when adults made it. It's almost good just terrible production and musical decisions

[@Caniballe]

@@henrikeickhoff9009 Yeah, but, you know, let´s cool down: this song is already in the trash can of music history. I agree with you, because I feel they could have done it much better than they did.

[@fattymcfatso1083]

Whatever product they are selling I will take a full case.

[@ccakiestca]

veeeeeeeery good ...catchy

[@whatsupugly]

saw them last night! it was so fun. although the crowd kind of suuucked. no one was dancing!

[@ProgRockDan1]

Fun song

[@rob16248]

This is like 90's retro.

[@mlt0403]

I don't know what it is, but I'm really digging this song. Really cool stuff XD

[@LeonardCrassman]

Wincest.

[@lepHneutre]

Why are all the comments so weird in here?

[@jeremyc9593]

Lol. 4 years later and it's still the same in here.

[@kanye2west2was2right]

radiohead is like my favorite band and i would never compare these bands. it doesnt even make sense you just respect both

[@user-hi3iy9me4e]

Iceland is 🔥

[@libertineprincess]

yep!

[@Jojoseahorse]

Very cute video - check out the seahorses :) How many instruments does Matthew play?

[@professionalsoundcloudrapp5960]

Fantano

[@GustavoSusFring]

You mean Melon?

[@jeremyc9593]

@@GustavoSusFring That's why I'm here. This damn song is permanently stuck in my head now.

[@chocotricks]

@darbeel1 Point being that my music taste and other interest and influenced on who im with and what they do, same goes for pretty much everyone. So very good for pointing that out

[@calluml.3277]

Midpoint between Ocean Man by Ween and Brimful of Asha by Cornershop

[@VARAWK]

O M G ! ! !

[@7411y]

@revolutiongamestar Quite definitely, I'm not exactly an expert on indie bands

[@lulu4882]

this music video is so incredibly 2007

[@lupodelupis3672]

Great example of indie pop! In another dimension this would have been a hit...

[@grandmasterdeafchild]

Luv this. Is that feedback loop noise im hearing?

[@KirstyMcCarthy-pe2qr]

❤

[@askl23]

@chocotricks Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks not a little like Phil Selway turning the page at 1:00.

[@701Charles]

U rock

[@chocotricks]

@darbeel1 oh lol and as for the studies in music thing, i agree. My parents usually have the radio on and they play almost everything from the way back-now they have a hugh cd collection with lots of variety and I myself am a big fan of almost everything and some of my fav bands being Iron maiden, metallica, van halen, and so on and it just so happens I have friends who listen to the same kind of music. Point being

[@slimaldo1638]

Tropical Icee icee Oh and that goats head in the deli case

[@giorgioc8551]

is this a remix or my brain got remixed since the last time I heard it? I think I still have this cd somewhere..but not over the rainbow. MOre in berween shelves

[@gravytopic]

Giorgio c yeah, different mix than the one I know

[@TheVisavis123]

As far as I know there were two versions recorded. One on Gallowsbird's Bark, and one on EP with a more electronic arrangement.

[@inspiralroses]

@SilverAnxo Very good reply, dude!

[@cruzdese]

per e stè robe indie fan tutte caghèr......w gli anni 90..

[@curiousgemini]

Coool

[@MindlessTurtle]

I thought it was funny. I mean, what are the chances that some English WW veteran Radiohead writes a song about has almost the exact same name as some random American experimental composer? Matt is a mad genius.

[@amci1969]

RIP MTV2 120MINS

[@Wagon_Lord]

Yep sure why not.

[@yermanoh]

is that billy corgan at the start

[@slbrah]

O dear, what if someone actually has fun reading QC without being aware of all the indie bands Jeph references to. Don't let them read it, those damn infadels! It's ours, ours I tell you!

[@jaysharpESQ]

What's QC?

[@marke7005]

I'll never have a clue how she remembers all these lyrics.

[@TheChimneySwifts]

Realized exactly how crazy this whole experience was at about 1:40, weird, in a good way... - Jesse

oh they're still together? where is she from?

[@kellster71]

What kids TV show is his from then?

[@saskganesh]

this is great shit. :)

[@grantmclean8536]

Responding to this 12 year old comment don’t mind me

[@DaleHodgkins0n]

Marvellous stuff - should be about two and an 'alf minutes long tho - all sublime pop should be!

[@jeremyc9593]

Seriously?

[@k-leb4671]

Why the fixation on such short songs?

[@almishti]

You'd have to be some twisted loser to hate on this; this is positively endearing! So unselfconscious.

[@funkydankspliff]

@askl23 i think that is phil selway

[@jlToolfan]

Malaquias just because it has a melody and a pop song structure doesn't mean it's generic. There's nothing else in pop/rock that sounds like the Fiery Furnaces, their arrangements and instrumentation are really unique. The verse progression is kind of dissonant I guess but it sounds bouncy and fun so who cares

[@leod-sigefast]

I liked this song back in , what, was it 2005? I liked her too. Proper Spanish looking bird. Pudding bowl hair cut and everything. I now live in Spain.

[@Andrew_Erickson]

And I bet you are a proper looking pudding.

[@EMMmaximino]

lol she;s a american country bird, but for a minute she was the hipster prom queen.

[@damianandres]

Hay otra version que esta mejor! Saludos desde Argentina!

[@StefanoUnlimited]

pitchfork gave this album a 8.9 tho

[@Uoper12]

Pitchfork is a reliable non biased music review site.

[@malumbellator]

The album version of this song is different and it's good.

[@nogomet66]

Don't diss the Furnaces. They are great.

[@kaari1]

Brilliant song!! Check out the song Empty bodies with Inouwee if you like this..

[@user-hi3iy9me4e]

This song kinda reminds me of the Rentals - friends of P. But this song is ridiculously overbaked and made to be a pop addictive song. I know how music works. I prefer evergreen but this is still a fun song

[@sirq555]

@an8bitwarlock blueberry boat is a rock opera masterpiece!!!!!

[@Mattbromans]

Maybe not good, but obviously different. Good is a matter of opinion.

[@6950062]

They need to récord somewhere tropical

[@OCIRELCNU]

radiohead is the best band in the world this band is good too radiohead didnt peak with computer like most of you think kid a, amnesiac, and rainbows are their best albums. when they come out with a new album soon it will be the best one of the year.

[@thereverendgypsy]

Who is Jedus?

[@iamjamesmix]

go listen to their Blueberry Boat album and come back to say the same thing.

[@sockpuppetbitme]

What exactly IS a Tropical Ice Land anyway? Like an iceberg that floated to the equator or something. Makes no sense and now I'm all uptight and cant leave my room for days.

[@jeremyc9593]

Tropical Iceland, as in the country, not "Ice Land". Also, global warming.

[@dvdprkr]

i have a crush on eleanor

[@TheThinkingJester]

most artists dont throw paint on canvases they make it have a similar look or if they do they do it in an interesting way also everything has art in it if you cant get that then i am truely sorry for you

[@beardedspock]

@vonpiro why, then, must you even bother to watch this video? Radiohead happens to be one of my favorite bands, and fiery furnaces are new to me. You are entitled to your own opinion, but it annoys me that every single video I watch there is always someone ranting on about how much they hate it. If you hate it, don't watch it. If you don't know what it is, then end up not liking it, don't bother to leave a comment.

[@Gredddfe]

Her singing style reminds me of Kate Miller-Heidke.

[@chocotricks]

@askl23 i lol'd, yes it does actually ashahaha

[@daleandaudrey]

Random "people" question: is she still dating Alex Kapranos?

[@tommybass40]

Is this the chick that goes out with the Franz Ferdinand dude?

“Extremely attractive people make perfect music”

[@TheThinkingJester]

doesn't it have more volcanoes than that? .... i think they were thinking about greenland

[@warofrazors999]

the curtains, ponytail, and dirty projectors.

[@HoodooDot]

Is the band name because of "OH YOU HAVE TO BUY HIM! OR THE NASTY MAN'LL TAKE HIM AAY AND PUT HIM IN THE FIRERY FURNACE!"
