Wet Leg - Chaise Longue (Mercury Prize 2022)

Wet Leg perform Chaise Longue at The Mercury Prize 2022. UK viewers can watch more from the Mercury Prize 2022 on BBC iPlayer

[@shaunsmusicchannel6260]

Love the fact that they actually got the Mercury Prize guests to do the "What?" call back! Brillliant!

[@matthewrandell5055]

it's my favourite thing about live performances of this song:')

[@mr1zog]

Mate, I'm not surprised. Feel bad they had to wait this long🤘

[@AAAAAAA66879]

Yes it’s historical. Up there with the beattles. An otherwise dormant audience reacted. Never seen

[@Ashtree28]

I love how they always look like they’re having so much fun with this song when they perform it! It clearly brings them a lot of joy, and it’s super contagious.

[@alicec1533]

I don't think this song could ever get old. They used to play it all the time on the radio, and it never got dull.

[@cesarcamba1]

@@alicec1533 😂 I know! It’s got all the right elements to be an insufferable pop ditty but they pull it off brilliantly!

[@tariqnasir6227]

They are a breath of fresh air.

[@GetzGoth]

Every time I see this live they play it faster. And while it may not look difficult it requires some serious conditioning to downpick that one chord in the chorus as long as they do and maintain the speed. Especially at the end where they play it either 2 or 3x as long. I love these cats! They're just so damn fun! Cheers!

[@amosb1452]

This band are such good funs! 😍

[@ilovecds9606]

Wet Leg are great and I think it is a shame they did not win but possibly lucky they have not been given the Mercury Prize kiss of death. Also thanks to Wet Leg for introducing me to The Chats with their Cover of Smoko.

[@scottkowalski7325]

I like their version of Smoko Better!

Wet Leg are the best thing post covid. They were around just before it but they broke out and just blew up right afterwards. I can't wait to hear more albums in the future. Their debut is one of the best I have heard in a long long long time

They should’ve won. No other band or musician has been as fun and enjoyable in the past year.

[@activatewindows5]

As in, 2021? Lucy Dacus, Silk Sonic, Kanye West, Clairo, even Olivia Rodrigo was better. 2022 we already have The Weeknd, Arctic Monkeys, and The 1975 doing great, let alone having a massive release day for 3 artists next weekend. Wet Leg is a band that gets off on being "different" by being stale. It's like a kid jumping up and down saying "look mommy, look at this!" and then falling off the fucking couch.

[@rydogglessauldoggles7856]

none of those bands you are talking about have better music releases - are you seriously talking about Donda? HA HA. The new Arctic Monkeys is their most boring output to date - super pretentious drivel ,- talk about stale- the new 1975 is fine I suppose but they have done much better in the past. Olivia Ridrigo doesn’t hold a candle to anything that is on the Wet Leg Record - you should listen again. It would have been more palatable had you brought up good bands or at least ones that had good current releases.

[@andrephx90]

@@activatewindows5 Not to take away from your point but the Mercury is for British and Irish releases only.

[@activatewindows5]

@@andrephx90 I recognize that, my point was in response to the claim that NOBODY else is doing better. You're right though.

[@activatewindows5]

@@rydogglessauldoggles7856 Donda had some of his best songs and some of his most boring. Doesn't mean he didn't make some fantastic songs on there. Pretentious drivel is one to talk coming from someone who thinks a British band with average instrumentals who don't sing and monotonaly talk the whole time is better than any of the former. Being "different" doesn't mean better if your experimentation is a failed experiment. Arctic Monkeys were one of Britain's finest band back in the day and although they've evolved to a much different approach, I think the focus on orchestrals on the new album will be wonderful. Especially their first single on the record was fantastic, the other ones have just been alright. Tranquility Base was one of their best albums, so I have faith in a singular-instrument group focus-based album. Not sure what to tell you on the new 1975 but it's undeniable that instrumentally and vocally they're going places Wet Leg doesn't even seem to be looking at. Take it this way: could YOU produce a Wet Leg song? probably. could YOU produce a song from any of the previous mentioned? probably not.

I had to look up chaise longue because in America we pronounce it "chase lounge". Turns out it's French. I've heard it was often called a fainting couch because ladies wearing corsets had to lie down when they were short of breath. But probably also a good place to butter muffins.

PLEASE back off on all the strobes. Part of what makes this band so great is seeing them interact on stage. So I'd rather be able to see the musicians clearly, and the strobes interfere with that.

I watch everything they do and I think their new stuff is beginning to show limitations in style a bit. It's like listening to one radio station- you see the musical rotation limits after a while (the same songs over and over). I do think they deserve every penny including lucrative payments from Fender instruments.

[@robertmcdonnell3117]

I know this comment won't get much attention but I liked this song the first time I heard it, no question. But then I hear it again and I listened to the rest of their music. Might I ask why these guys appear everywhere while still acting as if they are this underground indie band? I don't know much about them but I imagine the drummers dad or the bassists uncle has to be pretty high up at whatever record company they are being pushed so hard by. There is absolutely nothing original about what they are doing. Ever so often major labels show out s band like this for the people that pretend to like alt or indie rock but secretly just want things to sound quick rather than actually be interceding. I would say they are to indie what Wes Anderson is to art film but I like a lot of what he does. I got feverous when I saw their name and a the name of a prize in the same KZbin video title and I'm glad they didn't win, Call me bitter if you want but I just think there is enough actually interesting music that is going on and not this shite that doesn't push music in any direction, doesn't say anything, isn't cool, and rehashes the same ideas from 2014.
