This video was filmed in Pasadena, California on the unceded, stolen land of the Tongva people. We honor the estimated 2,000 Tongva descendants that live in Los Angeles County today and carry on the traditions of their people, as well as the countless Tongva ancestors who lost their lives to colonial and state-sanctioned violence on this land.
Though Katie is rollerblading in this video, she wishes to acknowledge the influence that the rollerskating community has had on her practice of blading and skating, particularly the influence of skate dance culture which was spearheaded by Black Americans in the 60’s and 70’s. She encourages those interested to follow @abominatrix, who taught her some of her moves, and @worldonwheelsla where she has attended skating classes

Bodies Lyrics:
It's another suburban summer
The street lights blink on
If you're passing the house on the corner
You'd think no one's home
But when I feel that resonation
Waving with the weight from
Bodies in the basement
And when you swing my way won't
Wait no way, no way, want
Bodies in the basement
When I feel that 8-0-8 drum
Waving with the weight from
Bodies in the basement
And when you swing my way won't
Wait no way, no way, want
Bodies in the basement
Your body on my, body on my
My bodies in the basement
Your body on my, body on my
Bodies in the basement
I'm still thinking about that summer
Lyin' awake all alone
Keep on passing the house on the corner
But there's nobody home
But when I feel that resonation
Waving with the weight from
Bodies in the basement
And when you swing my way won't
Wait no way, no way, want
Bodies in the basement
When I feel that 8-0-8 drum
Waving with the weight from
Bodies in the basement
And when you swing my way won't
Wait no way, no way, want
Bodies in the basement
Your body on mine
Body and mind
My body's in the basement
Your body on mine
Body and mind
My body's in the basement
Your body on mine
Body and mind
Bodies in the basement
Oh wait, oh wait, oh wait
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way, no way, no
Oh wait, oh wait, oh wait
No way, no way, no way
My body's in the basement

[@auchhaus]

Anyone here in 2024? This song is a time capsule to me and is so, so special. Thank you The Knocks & MUNA

[@fantasticalleigh]

seriously! i got super into rollerskating in 2020 and was always outside in the park with my wheels on. when this song/video came out i got obsessed, i can't listen to it without wishing i was on my skates lol.

[@moldar81]

December 2024. I got flashbacks to 2020 listening to this song, and I still didn't learn how to rollerblade haha. I guess it's never to late for this 43 year old guy.

[@fantasticalleigh]

@@moldar81 i'm 30 if that gives a helpful frame of reference lol. always wanted to learn to skate as a kid but didn't get around to it until my late twenties so it's never too late! just take it slow at first, look up tutorials (especially for falling properly) and wear safety gear!

[@moldar81]

@@fantasticalleigh hahah thanks for the suggestions 🙂.

[@derektrammell911]

You ever have that moment that within 10 seconds of hearing a song, you know it's going to be magical? Yeah.

[@Claudia-cr2pm]

Yes heard this in Hollister today and I just stood still, eyes closed, listened and melted.

[@amanhismusicareneverparted5366]

I must have walked a hundred miles during this pandemic listening to this. It’s one of my favorite songs of my entire life - and I’m in my fifties.

[@tonyk7387]

The first 10 seconds of this video you cant hear anything just yet 😝

[@pete1517]

Always magical from The Knocks.. Well said

[@B744ER]

Dude! Feels! Knew it within 10 seconds of Spotify suggesting it.

[@iLove3D.]

I had a wonderful summer in Russia, riding a scooter through the countryside, I bought myself a small house inspired by this song, I bought all the tracks on iTunes, threw a party to a remix of this song by lenno, won my girlfriend's heart by dancing to it at a country club, really loved the sunset and trips.In the summer of 2024, I want to rollerblade with green wheels to this track on the road between the trees, this song carries a lot of positive vibrations and a lot of people became happy to it!

[@coils1945]

BEAUTIFUL STORY AND MEMORIES, THANK YOU

[@andersonbrunodias]

Can't believe The Knocks and Muna invented summer and nostalgia.

[@waynedejager]

Sorta has that Smashing Pumpkins 1979 effect

They did, indeed!

[@anthonychilcote872]

YOU HAVE A LOT OF NERVE BEING THIS DAMN GOOD.

[@namacusan3650]

My grandmother, prostrate with Alzheimer, listened to this song and began to move her feet and hands, showing me happiness on her face.

You guys never seize to amaze me! ♥️

[@Niiopii]

Still listening in 2023 - this song encapsulates millenial youth so perfectly. Junior high, 2000-2005, so many basement parties and "suburban summers" for sure!

[@_CompactDisc]

This song is not just a song, it's the whole summer

[@CheerfulPhoenix]

one of the all-time most criminally underrated songs !! on the other hand, it makes it more special for those of us who were lucky enough to have encountered it 😊

[@Rovinatum]

i've never lived such a beautiful landscape and such a serene life but i wish i could, and that everyone else could, after listening to this magical song...

[@BieberHatingMan]

This is legit the best song i ever heard! It's been on my top 2 most played songs 2 years in a row on spotify and it will probably be this year's too!

[@amanhismusicareneverparted5366]

This song carried me through the lockdown and freed me as I walked over 800 miles and lost 75 pounds and became far more enlightened and lifted than I could ever imagine. And this video and this song were born just at the beginning of our Shared Darkness. I’ll never forget Muna for this sonic lighthouse.

[@android1893]

Hell yeah!!!!!!!

[@jamesremus07]

😍🔥🤌🏜

[@concrescentone]

YES!! F*&K YEAH

[@adarg2]

I lost a shitload of weight too during covid, about the same amount as you. Congrats.

[@gatsbysdead]

Turns out all I’ve ever wanted in life is to roller blade down a tree-lined street in a flowy over shirt.

[@theknocks]

LYRICS its another suburban summer, street lights blink on if you’re passing the house on the corner you’d think no ones home. but when I feel that resonation waving with the weight from, bodies in the basement and when you swing my way wont, wait no way no way, want bodies in the basement when i feel that 808 drum waving with the weight from bodies in the basement and when you swing my way wont, wait no way no way, want bodies in the basement I’m still thinking about that summer wide awake all alone keep on passing the house on the corner but there’s nobody home x2 when i feel that 808 drum waving with the weight from bodies in the basement and when you swing my way wont, wait no way no way, want bodies in the basement x3 your body on my, body on my, my bodies in the basement

“Warm bodies” “grown bodies”.. seem lots of diff versions of the lyrics. Thanks for clearing it up!

[@Eugene2736]

Sounds like a serial killer.

[@annabeltxn]

wishing i knew how to rollerblade so i could roll around town listening to this song and feeling like the main character :’)

[@merivme7555]

I am 42 and decided to learn it.So, never late.

[@Kimchi__pussyyy]

Never too late to learn it's like riding a bike it's just about finding your balance and then you're good☺

[@pd9662]

Rollerblading looks fun, aye..I knew how to rollerskate when I was younger, umm not so sure about now...LoL

[@blaineerp6818]

I will teach you love

[@annabeltxn]

you guys are too kind!! hoping one day i’ll finally get to learn. so far i’ve just been skateboarding while listening to it and it feels just as magical. 🥰

[@KaitlinDanielle1]

this is the type of song I listen to on a car ride with windows down.. watching the sunset and city lights come out ✨ dance with your friends or soulmate while cruising.. simply enjoying life in that very moment.

[@patrickcotter3695]

❤

[@Omamily]

Katie you are a queen of rollerblade! Love MUNA so much ❤️

[@infractal5033]

All the summer bops have been delayed... And now i'm glad they were.

[@KaranThakur927]

Simplistic video, but a piece of art the way it is shot. Perfectly blends with the song vibes. Never thought watching someone rollerskating would bring so much smile on my face.

[@agerrits]

Such a dreamy and nostalgic video! *searches for the nearest roller disco for when this is all over*

[@reginagonzalez4467]

Why is this video and type of music my exact aesthetic?! The KZbin algorithm knows me better than I know myself omg

I come back to this song every once in a while. Heard it when lockdown first occurred, and I was walking alone by the lake and it was more quiet than I've ever seen it in the past decade. California is so beautiful and this vid shows it ❤️‍🩹

[@jj-grays0n]

No bodies, no basements. I wanted both in this video. But I still love you.

[@patrickhandy1726]

MUNA really can do no wrong. Saves The World and About U are musical triumphs. EDM melancholy at its finest. another beauty. 🖤

[@nanobiaful]

Y que hay de ti?

[@sandrajacquard3081]

The perfect collaboration of the smoothest beats and the deepest voice

[@Talbred]

The girl is the epitome of freedom. Her body language screams "let me be". That, coupled with these divine chords and voice makes this song a masterpiece. Thanks for the vibes, Knocks & friends! Please keep 'em coming LE Just found out the girl is Katie Gavin from MUNA. Sorry for being late to the party :)

[@BlackKingBaldwinIV]

Lmao I literally just said the whole thing about being free too when I first heard it. She likes she’s so care free. No drama, no bills, no hatred, no bad energy. Just free lol

[@Toni-909]

the girl is the vocalist in the song :}

[@lauramunson7763]

She is a magical being tbh

[@DauntesAlone]

So free, she's wearing a mask while skating outdoors with no one remotely near her. Such freedom. Much free. Just another example of how little reality mattered in the Covid era.

[@maddiedoesntkno]

@@DauntesAlone not you talking past tense about covid🙄 disgusting.

[@Lovelynicki123]

This song is giving me serious summer vibes I love it

[@AmirioJ]

I was first introduced to Muna last year when I went to see The 1975 in concert. MUNA was one of the headling acts and I was so impressed with their music. Been a fan ever since, and can't stop playing this song 🎶🎧

[@karli937]

I thought i was the only one who felt all these overwhelming emotions and bright visions like driving thru the sunset on a country side or just vibing with friends or a lover and just feel genuinely happy while listening to this song. Been some months since i finally stopped sleeping on this and im still obsessed.

[@Jlm7908]

i found this masterpiece in a spotify playlist called “Serotonin.” it absolutely lives up to the name and one year later, it still makes me feel alive ☀️

[@dreamyotter6982]

Muna: - Saves The World Album (2019) - About U Album (2016) I can listen to their albums in the morning, evening, or before I go to bed and still vibe. They're not just a band, they're everything you're missing.

[@MushroomBlading]

Thank you blade god for the freedom on display here.

[@sophiedull2514]

[@brentwang]

This is officially my favorite song of 2020! Thank you guys for always bringing great music to the world! And also a very nice introduction of MUNA to me! You are both amazing!

[@jordanbutterworth6215]

Heard this randomly at a restaurant in Aspen and instantly fell in love. I've now gone down about a dozen slopes rocking out to the sound!

[@j0zefina]

That is my favourite morning song! Puts me in the dancing mood, gets me to spill my coffee sometimes!

[@dairymold]

the perfect example of a song that wholly captures the pandemic quarantine experience. the mask, the rollerblade/rollerskates summer fad, skating by yourself on an empty street, "bodies in the basement" ...like, yes, i am indeed slowly rotting in quarantine

[@mostdislikedvideo315]

every time it gets to 2:35, my speakers are turning all the way up

[@KevinMcguireOfficial]

Biggest vibe of 2020. This hit me like a brick.

[@lostsoulbbw]

I got nostalgic with a serious summer vibe with this song. Makes me want to brew up a gallon of Koolaid, put on the Banana Boat, and read a trashy novel out in the sun...even when it is completely overcast right now... thanks. I needed that.

[@dutrandre]
