This song is unique. It's actually symbolic, and it talks about multiple parts of a person's personality, how they infulence us to make the false decisions, to make us look awkward, and so on. In the end, this continual indecision and preassure from our own selves results in a monotonous life, until we become angry enough and we can't keep up like this, at which point we evolve, change and start anew.
You know sometimes I wonder if some things are just created out of necessity then other people come along and prescribe a more sophisticated idea to a thing.
holy shit, I just remembered about We Are Scientists while browsing the lonely island videos. holy shit, how many years have passed, i listened to them in school
This is the most real song these people have ever made. Its good sounds like something you would see on tv instead of a youtube song. I know they are a real band but still this song is different.
I think it's about our need to be individuals, because in a world where other people are constantly influencing our actions, we want to be our own person. We don't want to be just one of thirty other people in an office or such, or just a "relevant" gear in a vast corporate machine, we want to be a single, respective entity, and I think this is about breaking out of that mob mentality we put ourselves in and trying to live our own lives.
Of course!... Everybody complains about the quality of the video cause the video is the most important thing of a great song... And because they have to give a lot of money to watch this... Right.
The awkward moment when both comments refer to other awkward moments within the top comment section but both of the awkward moments they refer to aren't in the top comment section anymore which makes their comments awkward.
honestly I don't understand why people just watch to dislike a video, like that Justine Beaver kid, you don't see me watching his video, not even to dislike it!
Because this isn't Lonely Island. This is "We Are Scientists". The only reason this is on the Lonely Island channel is because on of their members directed this music video.
cool, they are driving an 1986 volvo (I bet it is a 240), I owned one of those a couple years ago. Still worked when I got rid of it for an 1987 volvo! Gee maybe they bought my old volvo?
weird the top 2 comments are about this video previously haveing 2 top comments about how this video sometimes has 2 top comments and they don't like it... wow that was a mouthfull.
These guys look like an alternative universe version of the lonely island
this was one of my favorite songs in middle school. i'm now pushing thirty. still catchy.
me too
240p we meet again.
Its so weird that you said that in 2014😭🤣
Lol

WE ARE SCIENTISTS, one of the best indie bands ever! They should release more tracks, I'm in love with their music :)

The video I find directed so great with the song that I have a hard time not watching and listening together when I come back.
the pre-chorus is wonderful, can't stop singing it
00:27 remember the golden rule:It's not gay if it's a three way :o

big words make smart me feel

@@Cosimate "Everything has a meaning, even doing nothing." - some guy, probably
this is actually an amazing video!
agreed!
This really isn't a bad song... Never heard of these guys before... Now I want more
Reminder 13 years later that this is a really great song.
@@egeatacandogan4104 ya these guys feel really underrated
holy shit, I just remembered about We Are Scientists while browsing the lonely island videos. holy shit, how many years have passed, i listened to them in school
This is my favorite song! Always listen to it when I play Burnout Revenge!
Central Route.
This is the most real song these people have ever made. Its good sounds like something you would see on tv instead of a youtube song. I know they are a real band but still this song is different.
I loved this song in Burnout : Revenge!
Heerlijk anoniem de moraalridder uithangen. Verveling en katers brengt men tot vreemde dingen in staat. Gelukkig nieuwjaar!
Not multiple personalities, a guy who is kept down by certain parts of his personality ie. awkwardness, indecisiveness
Damn I forgot about this . 9 years later 😓

Wait, it's been 11 years..what the heck !

Man, they look so different. I really love this song.

That makes sense! I thought it could maybe be about bipolar disorder.
I think it's about making money.
Cassidy Rickerl but... i like to think
Well to bad Cassidy doesn't.
THose shirts and ties make me think of the Primer movie.

#MakeRUclipsGreatAgain
Can't wait for their new album!!!!!!
Wtf when did they make an alternative song? It sounds so good ;-;
They didn't make it
We are scientists... TO THE GOOGLE!
0:35 - the moment when my mom entered the room and asked me if i was gay... lol wtf
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I am not gay mom i am watching yaoi
Its directed by one of the guys from The Lonely Island. Thats why its on their channel. Read the small print.
14 years most recent comment here right here
Nop
Double nup
aww they portrayed my depression and insecurity...so cute
yea real adorable
Rumor has it, 10 mins after this video was filmed, they realized they are better rapping about ridiculous shit
This is the most british thing I've ever seen lonelyisland do
if stuff like this would run on the radio... well... i might listen to radio more often than only in the morning for some news... -.-
Akiva did the best directing on this one
When you randomly remember songs from your child....holy s*** 17 years ago
Mashallah marvelous
Of course!... Everybody complains about the quality of the video cause the video is the most important thing of a great song... And because they have to give a lot of money to watch this... Right.
omg 12 years before i saw this video, its so old but gold
The name of the song is called the great escape I think (because of the title) and its by we are scientist
AND THIS ONE TOO. ahahah I loved this song and vid, I think I still have it in some old hdisc since then with tons of indie stuff
So this an actual song? Not just a comedy or a skit?
The awkward moment when both comments refer to other awkward moments within the top comment section but both of the awkward moments they refer to aren't in the top comment section anymore which makes their comments awkward.
you just did.... like a boss.
Loved it. Main guys looks hot!
I really like this song.
@OneSimpleDude This is We are Scientists, the guys from The lonely island only directed the music video for the band. They aren't the same people.
GASP star wars was made in the 70's and people are still watching it? amazing.
This song has been on RUclips for 14 years
Yeaaah!!!
my fav song!!
honestly I don't understand why people just watch to dislike a video, like that Justine Beaver kid, you don't see me watching his video, not even to dislike it!

This song popped in my head and i forgot how old this was

Because this isn't Lonely Island. This is "We Are Scientists". The only reason this is on the Lonely Island channel is because on of their members directed this music video.
Brutal!!
cool, they are driving an 1986 volvo (I bet it is a 240), I owned one of those a couple years ago.
Still worked when I got rid of it for an 1987 volvo!
Gee maybe they bought my old volvo?
This song is SO good

This song is nice.
