Ah back in the good old days of 2006. Being 14/15 without a care in the world, hopping on the bus with a bottle of cider to the local venue to see this band live with my mates and about 100 other locals. Now I'm 21 and all these great memories feel like a lifetime ago. Never to be forgotten though!

[@trampflips101]

You wrote that comment roughly 7 years after going to the event, now it's 7 years after writing the comment. Oof.

[@tessicat]

Now it feels like fifty lifetimes ago :(

[@EggyMan786]

What you saying now mate

[@ToxicTurquoise454]

This is from 2008.

[@flyingpig5622]

@@ToxicTurquoise454 no its not mate, it says so in the video 2006

[@phipperyfft6489]

Carley and Lauren are gonna think this is pretty cool right?

[@strigonshitposting793]

“Lauren had to move away shortly afterwards, and Simon never saw her again.”

[@JoKeR-hh8rg]

yep, pretty cool

[@fanmadetrailersandedits7057]

Yeah, really cool!

[@Designer_Opine]

Brilliant.

[@martinsatyen7833]

Just here from there. They SO nailed this show. Pitch perfect

[@VwiftsChannel]

"Why the fuck did you do that?!" "I don't know, get the sea police out" "And say what?! Help we've caught a fish?! And we're only in the harbour!"

[@Gunther____]

and what are they gonna do, pull us four feet closer to the shore?!

[@Gunther____]

+Simon Cooper now we can take it back and eat it! :D

[@VwiftsChannel]

Gunther Gibson I'm not eating that, it's came out the fucking sea!

[@Gunther____]

+Simon Cooper oh Fuck.... Fuck it!

[@J8D2]

[@ritchyfox]

[@flala2261]

[@Etonmessy]

Apparently it has a wave machine!!!

[@RashtaEinthisB]

[@dominiccook12]

Is that a fish?! Yes Lauren it’s a fucking fish! GIVE ME A MINUTE!

[@jimmycolville400]

Spent half my childhood at Latchmere leisure centre. Or it felt like it anyway. Great to have it immortalised in this song. South London big up yaself

[@Istanbully23]

Does it have a wave machine

[@staceyw4355]

Same here :) South London represent :)

[@jimmycolville400]

That wave machine was my childhood... Great times!

[@bobsciascia]

"I'm cold mummy, can you get the potty?"

[@ZakJordan98]

HELP! WE CAUGHT A FISH!

[@jonskinner5664]

Get the sea police out!

[@fanmadetrailersandedits7057]

[@mksrex]

maccabees are soooooo sweet luv them

[@unicornsshouldrule]

i am going to latchmere, and i shall go on the wave machine. i will then listen to this song and think "hey, i've been there! good times."

[@marif.]

I wonder how long it takes to make a music video like this...

[@ollyyahweh9603]

2022 and im just now finding this band. I always wonder how more dope life would be finding soundtracks like this at an earlier time

[@funkybear7243]

latchmereeeee has a wavvvveee machineee

[@compost-bae]

THE LATCHMERE IS MY LOCAL SWIMMING POOL! I've never been so excited. gunna go swimming more often now :')

[@maxthomas0177]

“What if it’s a shark”

[@jatkinson3938]

best indie tune of 2008

[@stebs1690]

PLZ play this live 7 times seen never played!!!!!

[@loveabitofliverpool]

more people should listen to this song, the fact that it's only been viewed 75000 times is just plain depressing

[@anilkama1621]

This song reminds me all the good days that left behind and that feels happy and sad at the same time

[@dddppp3086]

Here's a toast to all the amazing Maccabees fans out there who have to say "you know, that one about swimming pools on the Inbetweeners" to anyone who isn't aware of the absolute mammoth back catalogue of beauty this band gave us

[@davidwoods2202]

13 years snap still get down to this song with the boys

[@hellokittyisxtrm]

The maccabees music videos entertain me alot! :D

[@xjpa]

Love this song

[@elizahoop]

I used to live on the road near the swimming pool, called latchmere road

[@wes_neeproductions]

[@thamespatmore]

Latchmere is where I learned to swim with my primary school st george's happy days

[@josephpickard3108]

I was in this video 😂😂 it took ages

[@MyLittlemisslove]

Came out of the changing rooms and absolutely fuck all had changed

[@lonth86th]

The song is about latchmere swimming pool, where the group used to go when they were younger.

[@Cheetah_Chrome]

Remind me a bit of early Wire I like it. Here cause Inbetweeners

[@quangojonny]

I worked at Latchmere for a long time lol.

[@Toldplay]

I can really relate to this song, latchmere swimming pool owns, the wave machine is class (H)

[@gracesaif]

@NavigateTheJungle I spent 4 hours in Latchmere only going in at 20 minute intervals every Saturday. Only ever went in when the waves started.

[@lileixu3669]

first time I've heard the clean version 'sod all' hahaah

[@ripshane15]

the whole song is a metaphor

[@MrNathanshort]

I should be doing coursework, however im finger drumming to this epic tune :)

[@Designer_Opine]

“A rapey rhyme, how lovely.”

[@madsh.christensen4064]

[@zoefaircloth4635]

[@4444lilliam4444]

quite a clever video

[@theburpman8006]

I could only be able to officially swim at 13 years old and a year later I went on a water sports trip in Spain at 14 years old where we were doing snorkelling and I nearly drowned in the sea and had to get rescued by a woman on a kayak.

[@degaulle30]

Landfill indie at it's absolute finest

[@superclass4744]

Can someone get the hair gel?!

[@joakooo23]

Mukita FTW!

[@bestherby]

OMG..that's so trendy of you to say that. You must be so cool and out there.

[@Terranz25us]

People are so silly. Obviously the Maccabees brought everyone here...doesn't matter where you heard the song. It's the song you are here for.

[@sebastianmartinez4504]

Not really. Inbetweeners brought me here. I just came here to troll and hate. Lol.

[@Flurpz731]

So goood, these videos take so long to make

[@alicehamilton9439]

zefer07 This song is the maccabees and they didn't copy it off anything. The inbetweeners used it for their episode.

[@MyRiot4Paramore]

[@stanton2223]

[@mileslemon]

[@ihatemrbean]

Preschool teaching duties obligate me to make lesson plans like, NOW, but i think that listening their music is a perfectly good excuse to slack off. so this is me, slacking off. sorry kiddos.
