He's got such a strong French accent. Crazy how he sings with such a good American accent.

[@mini_mozzer]

oh u can totally tell hes french bro

[@rushshukla4636]

Most people do. It's only natural to. American English is the world language.

[@LauraNeuzeth]

They're super specific about when and where some of these songs could be a jam. 😂

[@imaginationland474]

a jam if i'm driving bumper cars... if not...

[@coreystefan2518]

instablaster...

[@mini_mozzer]

in coney island...

[@danielcermak2474]

They are so nice to the ones that aren't jams and give specifics to how they could like it, even though you could tell they don't

[@stephenmortensen2438]

What humble sounding dudes. Even saying something isn't for them, but maybe how it could be for someone else lol. Christian's instant reaction to Only Shallow is the most adorable thing I've ever seen a rock star do.

[@Claudiusnuss]

I could listen to them doing this for hours :')

[@victimizedidiot1612]

They're so pure, gentle and kind to do this reaction stuff to new music.

[@marceloaguires]

I thought he was gonna take his headphones off when he heard despacito haha I like how he lowkey roast that shit.

[@msscrazybuthappy]

Not to be dramatic but I’d die for Thomas lol

[@gilbert5646]

that 'only shallow' curveball!!!!...."nothing's really a jam after my bloody valentine"

[@MsPili1]

They are so nice and polite gentlemans

[@brendastar7531]

I love my bloody valentine so much to see it being appreciated was the best. These guys were so rad to acknowledge such a talented band. They were great, would love to see them again.

[@eliseants]

I love how they put vibes, like a scenery that fits with the song :) they describe music so elegant and eloquently, not just with others but with their own music too :))

[@safsaf0114]

Miss u guys ❤

[@gabyelizondo90]

they look like poets, oh my

[@BonnieArgennof]

They are♡

[@neilcruise571]

my most favourite jam or not a jam

[@theshepherdsdog]

AHHH THEY PLAYED DESPACITO KILL ME

[@lalajobo]

truth spoken about MBV

[@blanegoggin7624]

Much respect. These guys nailed it.

[@retsub3]

Phoenix is my jam and my kindred spirits, so no surprise our tastes are so close. But they're more classy reacting to their dislikes than I'd probably be 😄

[@taisaetc]

pls post an extended version of this video

[@poppylifton]

Love Phoenix ❤️❤️❤️

[@kevintwin7777]

Should be a crime play despacito to these guys , they are too nice to insult the song tho

[@carameldrops08]

hey if you were in st Lucia on a boat drinking rum you'd probably dance to despacito too

[@thelionandhtelamp78]

Los amo tanto!

[@catherasga]

Thomas smirk at 0:34 HAHAHAHAH

[@user-gn2zr5to4u]

so great to see mbv in this :')

[@paulschlacter2685]

Legends

[@yourboymalachi6228]

Christians reaction to only shallow looked like he was given an offer that he could not refuse

[@pablovinicius2212]

adoro esse sotaque frances

[@nabilaadeliaputri2893]

these guys are too nice lol

[@sonicobsessions947]

Laurent Brancowitz ( phoenix guitarist) used to be in a band with the two guys from the daft punk. they're a three piece band named Darlin"

[@veerchasm1]

My Bloody Valentine rules, Phoenix knows this

[@danielcermak2474]

Hahah this is hilarious.

[@Robert-dt3is]

I wish I had a french accent.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

KInda awkard when no song pops up with their name but these videos do

[@ggthewhale]

Mbv!!!!!!!

[@marcc.3513]

These guys are fun. It’s weird how he sings like he’s from Kansas but speaks the way he does.

[@robmausser]

They were in a band with Daft Punk, so they better think the first song is a jam. Went to high school with them.

[@gustavoalejandrorodriguezg5397]

Kiko?

[@raihanshrk1955]

Seriously despacito a jam for them

[@cbcmusic]

*Under certain conditions.

[@raihanshrk1955]

@@cbcmusic I didnt expect that lol

[@migzmedua104]

I was today years old when i found out they were French 💀

[@IvanFE02]

what is a jam? :(

[@carameldrops08]

a good song basically

[@mikandagi]

you spread it on your toast

[@xertiasstrat8957]

They can do an effort for the accent .. i m french btw

[@neilcruise571]

way too short..

[@cbcmusic]

Agreed. We could have kept playing all day!

[@felixd.4150]

Z-100 gets a shoutout haha. Local NYC garbage top 40.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I think language is a barier in this jam or not

[@cbcmusic]

The jam spans all languages - it binds the world together!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

​@@cbcmusic What is the definition of jam actually? Because i only get the "real" meaning of the word. Cant find a proper result.

[@11cesarrenato]

swish swish is terrible and it's def not a jam
