the bird and the bee - Polite Dance Song

[@Jartisann]

Cant believe I've just discovered the bird and the bee today.. seriously. I am immediately hooked. Brilliant voice, brilliant music, arrangements, and style. Very willingto listen to everything they have and immerse in 2023.

[@jaysharpESQ]

I just did today... I think. Only two songs in. I saw Beach House when they first come to NYC FOR the first time, and while they didn't upstage the main act, they came close and I've always thought beach house was really original two piece and I followed them ever since... This is the first thing I've heard since then that kind of seems reminiscent of that. So I *think* I'm on board At the very least I'll have two great songs to play on my podcast but I'm probably going to listen to a whole album unless it's bad I'll become a fan I'm sure! But yeah. Just now TODAY. HEARD em at the end of a film. Random. 💕 Synchronicity really. If you in believe nothing is ever really truly random like I do Or love. If you believe in that sorta thing

[@stevebaker9928]

Do yourself a favor and go listen to their 2009 live session on KCRW right now! It's peak Bird and the Bee!

[@Saiyanprince1114]

I was introduced to them by this very song almost ten years ago. Haven't looked back since. Do yourself a favor if you haven't already: their Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future album is sublime

[@scruffmutt]

God, what I wouldn't give to have seen the casting call for this video. "Seeking old people that have a basic idea of what dancing is, but no recollection of any dance moves. Please look as uncomfortable as possible while performing."

[@Deleteriously]

All the literal LOLs!!!

[@thomasw7952]

Butt plugs in all of the dancers would explain so much.

[@MaxLevinton]

All the literal LOLs!!!

[@clovetea]

I wonder if they're laughing at themselves/acting or not - know what I mean

[@jmcieslak0]

These were people Tim & Eric had already worked with I'm sure

[@alecsnead6566]

This song has no business being as good as it is... it lives in my brain rent free

[@bradleyberry1762]

These guys music is so catchy and poppy yet is subtlety so sophisticated and musically virtuosic. Very rare to have both. Her voice is also just simply beautiful.

[@dr.mantistoboggan4746]

look in to Red Velvet

[@GarrettWatts]

I think I have thought about this video once a day since 2009.

[@MasDouc]

Same

[@minckypasricha1930]

Same

[@Sam-lj8wo]

Oh me too, Eric Warheim (Tim & Eric) directed it

[@jenniferh5097]

Yessssss! I could never remember the name but I could see the whole video

[@PianoGirl76]

Garrett! Of course you have great taste in music! ❤

[@SeanVito]

This song doesn't get old for me. SO GROOVY. SO SMOOTH. Can't believe its been ten years, and still sounds fresh

[@XenomorphLV426]

Here here.

[@alanissantillana9240]

Same 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@schizophreniagaming4058]

Same man. Boutta add another playlist to my 20 with this in it

[@juanduenas1943]

At this rate we are gonna be in our final form, like the dancers in this video in no time.

[@coreypattakoswow]

This has been on my KZbin playlist for 8 years now, always the same feeling every time I see it. Masterpiece.

[@SeanVito]

10 years now. And same.

[@MarcusRosen01]

This has got to be one of the craziest music videos I've ever seen. Eric Wareheim is a crazy genius. Gotta love him.

[@chileo1]

This music video is an actual masterpiece on so many levels and I can't even explain why.

[@JungleOrange]

Unreal how much reading in to it can be done...full of scorpions my mind.

[@garfieldsam]

+JungleOrange damn bruh

[@garfieldsam]

+chileo1 right?!

[@jermafan111]

it was directed by Eric from the Tim and Eric show.

[@Atomic_Killjoy]

I'd believe it in a heartbeat

[@XenomorphLV426]

Classic Tim & Eric video production.

[@kneel1]

+XenomorphLV426 Think this was just Eric Wareheim actually

[@annacassie3681]

Classic poop production

[@BiPedalPossum]

brother

[@JUNK_ZONE]

They don't get credit for something people didn't have a choice in and made work.

[@davidmatheson7391]

My thoughts...absolutely!

[@CrumblesXo]

Palmer SCOTTTTT! My one true love. Fell in love watching Tim and Eric, and seeing him in this back in…. 2014? Made my entire week, and has blessed my life almost weekly since.

[@christopherscorner]

I’m so glad I found this band! I cannot get enough of them!

[@thestylish]

I love the Bird & The Bee... especially their Hall & Oates covers

[@johnlerrysulio3206]

Wo1÷÷×1+(×(#

[@mcashley9951]

Yass

[@LorentzInvariance]

This takes me back to a special place. A place of my childhood, a place of strange abandon, a place of my past that I can never relive, but I always like to visit!

[@gilbert7119]

Look who it is!!! PALMER SCOTT. The man, the myth, the legend.

[@TimmehJay]

Always a good day when you have a Palmer Scott sighting.

[@jeremykun27]

my Bub bubs r bouncing

[@NathanSMadsen]

I learned of this band through my love of Tim and Eric. And my life's been better because of it.

[@JHD42]

The guy's little gesture at 2:18 Ha! Hilarious.

[@AntiActionFox]

How the hell did you notice that!

[@Roccoblocco]

Uhh, The guy who's smiling at 3:52 is even more hilarious, love the whole train wreck.

[@williamfeal1438]

He had the. He can't dance look. Lol

[@ratdoctor]

he was pushing the guitar away

[@zabrizzL]

hi daria

[@motealready]

Finally, a dance song I can relate to. It's what I've been waiting for my whole life.

[@tomiesblood]

Yeah it's lovely 💜💜

[@omegavladosovich6757]

I would like to thank Wade Robson and his instructional dance video for introducing me to this song. Much better than child abuser garbage.

[@JustinBodner]

I laughed pretty good at this

[@cravedanger]

This has proven to be the best music video of the 2000s so far.

[@Robotslovecake1]

i love this song, and i love the bird and the bee's style :D they dont have to do all these special effects, all they need is creativity,and when she sings live she actually can sing, they should get more credit than what they have, because alot of artists dont even have talent, but they do :o

[@dawnrogers723]

Does the word Nuance, give you a better frame?

[@morganfitzp]

The antidote to any waiting room. I feel an administrative revolution brewing.

[@gonzalogarcia312]

Love listening to The Bird and The Bee! They're awesome!

[@BananaPantsChannel]

I've loved this song for years only just saw the video today. It's everything I could have hoped for and more.

[@jtconner7599]

Visual comedy , entering and exiting the frame, camera movement and static camera, transitions, zoom ins and contrasts it's got it all

[@freddyburger5574]

Palmer Scott, what a hunk!

[@LorentzInvariance]

Hm, I’ll be back again. 5, 10, 15 years, who knows. But I’ll have a craving for a simpler time, and this will always scratch that itch.

[@TwentyOne_Five]

A lot of people can horse around dancing as directed by Tim and Eric. However Palmer Scott brings something truly special. He’s feelin it man.

[@shawnelldodson1610]

More videos should be this enjoyable.. Tim and Eric should have been part of the dance off.

[@whippybox9271]

The chorus is *haunting* and I don't know why. It's cool.

[@DinosaurJr8]

Best video ever. Eric Warheim is amazing. This song is so well written too.

[@CrustyWhiteBread]

This might be the best song ever written in combination with the best video ever filmed........My brain just mushroom clouded.

[@allcreation87]

I haven't heard this in years! still amazing!

[@SJAutomotiveDesign]

Those dance moves!

[@DannyDakota]

That's such a catchy chorus

[@Paddyjay12]

This is such a crazy kick ass beat

[@PeaceLoveAndRico]

Had no idea this was gonna have such a timeless brilliance.

[@mollywalker3309]

This what I do I sit on you,sit on you

[@bikesnbeerz]

Mastered by none other than Emily Lazar! An American Grammy-nominated mastering engineer. That is why this sounds so epic for this genre (hear it on studio monitors)

[@bikesnbeerz]

When life gets too serious, I watch this video again. Life has been serious about 30 times to far.

[@The_DorkLord]

bob smith life has been serious about thirty times today...

[@bonorbitz]

omg this is how i found the bird and the bee and i've been a fan since. Love Lifetimes! Don't ever stop!

[@ownlywon]

can we all take a moment to thank eric wareheim for producing this music video

[@harley3086]

i think we should all take a minute to thank Greg Kirsten himself ( the keyboardist ) he's produced SIA, the new FOO FIGHTERS album and basically anything else that came out over the last year of uber stardom.

[@biancaluedeker]

oh, did he really? I wondered why this looked so familiar.

[@maxtew6521]

Thank you, Eric.

[@aliciagraham3401]

Thank you, Eric!

[@Chesterton7]

thank you Eric

[@olGrandpaby]

it never stops being good

[@MathiasBjrnskov]

It's made by Eric from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, which is pretty clear. Uses pretty much the same actors, style etc.

[@GregNixon]

The more I listen to these guys, the more I kind of like what their doing! Definitely a different beat!

[@ameliaduran2057]

Just goes to show doesn't matter how old you are, if you love dancing, YOU DANCE!!!!! :D

[@ameliaduran2057]

Also when I saw the lady dancing, I immediately thought of the dwarf that dances on Twin Peaks lol she definitely reminded me of him ha

[@TimmehJay]

Amy Duran Fun fact: Eric Wareheim, the director of this video is a huge Twin Peaks fan.

[@ameliaduran2057]

Tim Jordan aww that's awesome, I did not know that, thanks :) makes sense now lol

[@psk260]

the guy in red not only won the dance competition, but won the entire Internet as well!

[@Veriss88]

P A L M E R S C O T T

[@dreamlogicpro]

"Dance like you've never been loved, hurt like no one is watching."

[@mar7674]

I'm a new fan and omg this video

[@HMohr]

I'm a new fan and omg this video 2018

[@hvalleydude922]

1:20 That guy bit off a little more than he could chew with those squats.

[@eyeofbass]

Dammit, the video is growing on me. The music and band are outstanding. Love the singer's voice, playing, and super-casual relaxed style.

[@Cristatachad]

This is me at 2am when I'm dancing by myself.

[@shamp0010]

I'm in love with everything this offered my brain.

[@nufrankz]

Second this, nine years after

[@sharpkeet]

EPIC ending!! Saw these guys live last night, so good!!

[@BlankSpacePub]

One of the best music videos ever made. Great song too.

[@simonedoesitbetter]

What a random video! Cool song.

[@whistlerwade]

One of my most prized and priceless possessions is that I have that fantastic dancers picture that's autographed: "To Whistler. I sit on you!"

[@DJoeLawless]

Great Job!

[@Saintedland]

I love to hear and see this stoned with good headphones!!!

[@deliciouslactobacillus6185]

they all dance better than me T_T

[@michaelmattioni4993]

This song is so stuck in my head it's unreal. I can't believe I'm just now hearing it, but I love discovering old gems.

[@JadeWestTristan]

perfect song the is happy n sad at the same time

[@kakabukkake0]

indeed

[@BlueFireMai]

Man it's been years since I've listened to them :'( totally forgot how much I loved them

[@maxtew6521]

"Sit on you" guy is GETTIN' it! Brilliant video, Eric. Great song, B&B.

[@kumikosachs4619]

I love this so much. I can't believe I haven't heard this song until now. I want to be the lady in the metallic shirt.

[@AT-yg4nk]

So crazy watching this video that the “guy on the keyboard” is one of the greatest music producers today.

[@Chesterton7]

The best video by one of the great original bands.

[@jamesdixon2338]

It's 2024 and I've just heard this. I truly thought it was a new song. Holy cow.

[@Andrew-ww1hz]

2:52 He's GROOVIN

[@theryankearns]

This is the best combination of song + video … ever.

[@QUIZFILTER]

can't stop rewatching... so good

[@rd30000]

I dont know why handsome eye patch man gives me so much joy

[@Bayonettamachinekill]

She sing really good. She's got unique music.

[@extrasuperpowr]

This is such a great song many years later. It just had the kind of sound that doesn't really age. And Eric Wereheim is such a great and hilarious director. And Palmer Scott is such a fucking champ for being just down to clown and be the fucking super star that he is.

[@kibunjojo4499]

Studio: How much budget do you have for this music video? Producer: Yes?

[@dp9241lover]

"Give it up for me please, put your hands in the air If you know what's good for you, you wanna shake it like you just don't care Would you please clap your hands, now get up on your feet I beg of you to get up and dance, it's such a crazy kick-ass beat" she had me a the first verse and so i shall remain a fan i love this song

[@twheeler1980]

Genius song with a HILARIOUS video... another win for Bird N Bee!!!

[@TrippMillspicklebunny]

Love this band and love this video. Playing it on this first day of work back from the long holiday weekend...I need to have a polite dance song playing.

[@tommycscat]

Awesome Video, Great Job!

[@tannerferdinand]

TIM AND ERIC AWESOME SHOW GREAT JOB! sit on you

[@Fodi_be]

this is awesome for two reasons. great job!

[@notanundercovercop8851]

I can't get this video out of my head. I have to keep rewatching it repeatedly.

[@dariazag7778]

I've listen to this song so many times, and just now thought as it came on, there has got to be a cool music video for this. After discovering this gem, I now enjoy the song even more with this visual. That was awesome.

[@samengsberg875]

Love the celebrity appearance by Palmer Scott, great video

[@treypreston01]

Greg giving Inara the "stinkeye" at 2:24 lol :)

[@MCSMeister]

At 3:32 he does the This Is What I Do I Sit On You pelvic thrust

[@jasonyoungblood9359]

This is such a good song! I've listened to it years ago.

[@RedTopProductions]

This is amazing... I've heard this song so many times, never saw the video before tonight. Nothing like I expected, but I love it!

[@Steampunk915]

"What kind of dance should we do again?" "Well, the director said we should dance like white people" "Oh..."

[@LemonTree9280]

I work for a very blue collar red state construction company and they dont know I'm jamming to Bird and the Bee in my ear buds each morning

[@kittysonikku]

i would personally like to thank this song. it earned me 80 dollars.

[@FramedGraffiti]

[@kittysonikku]

inspired me to draw something i sold off! the wonders of being inspired by awesome tunes 🎶

[@ookie4179]

sparkle chinchilla this comment inspired me to follow my dreams as well. I became a sandwich artist at subway. #eatfresh

[@williamfeal1438]

I like to see the picture.

[@megamatt1915]

So great and so Tim and Eric.

[@AdamPilichowski]

and the reaction from the guy in the eye patch then the open mouth from eye patch and afro american guy - priceless when the disco lights hit

[@alexfagnan7469]

I think this video influenced Fleabag. Amazing introductory scene with Awolnations « Sail ».

[@chunkeymonkey9750]

I have known this for a long time and it makes me happy every time

[@paulopipouf]

Facebook told me yesterday that i shared this videoclip and this song 14 years ago. i didn't remember at all, but I LOVE IT AGAIN ! amazing song and video !! :D

[@klamydia1947]

I was trying to search for music video with old people dancing just to remember the song I loved from way back when, as well as the group behind it. 24hrs+ and here I am finally 🙌🫶👅 I love when nostalgia slaps you in the face because racking my brain over this shit proves to me that I had good taste in music lol 😭😭😭😭😭

[@daniellehwing4667]

What a powerful song/video/duo.
