I remember when this commercial came out right when summer was beginning and school was ending in 2007. I was very familiar with Santigold and Pharrell/N.E.R.D. but i never knew who Jules Casablancas was, and i like how he blended perfectly into the song. Did some research and found The Strokes. Which has been one of my all time favorite bands for 9 years lol. Shit brings back memories!!!!!
Dang found this the same time from the Converse website. Downloaded it somehow and listened to it over and over again. Was on limited internet back then. For me, I discovered Pharrell and NERD here, got into The Strokes much later and figured - oh hey I've been a fan all along, just didn't know it was them. Also realized not much people know about this particular song.
This one was really neat! But the one that really pushed me as a Strokes fan by presenting me to Julian Casablancas was his commercials for his album Phrazes for the Young. Does anyone remember those? And then what sealed it for life was his Azzar cologne collab for Decibel. The song “I like the night” that he wrote just for the commercial was NUTS! Back then it wasn’t as easy to find it on the web because I had super limited access. 😂😂
Dachers123 is it really though? The universe has bound to connect you to the rest of it someway... and the internet is the world now, not one person really is considered culturally relevant without internet. Just as he made friends at work and school, you can do the same on the internet. It has molded the world around us for the better and with such a worldwide connection, the human race will achieve so much more. Who is he to block your bounds, we are all human here... oh also i would like to say... i am NOT a registered sex offender.. well not until next week, then its hearing day😺
Props to Pharell and Santogold, since a good 98% of these comments are all about Julian. This was a collaborative effort, guys. They ALL did amazingly!
This song influenced my taste in music so much. Eight-year-old me ccould not get enough of "My Drive-Thru". Summer '08 seems like a lifetime ago. I used to blast Santigold's parts (still do)! I miss Converse dropping singles with their limited edition Chucks.
I smile when i read that some people watch this video only for Jules ;D (because i watch it for Julian ^^) well is the coolest man ever, always excellent
For a song that was made for a sneaker commerical it was way better than it ever needed to be. Same with the music video. Not complaining because this song is a banger.
Santogold can turn any track into magic--but they're all inspired here. Hard to find this track though--Converse issued it as a limited edition and discontinued it :(
Now this is a collaboration! Each artist has something to bring and the styles mixed together make one hell of a track. There is such a thing good music that is being made these days.
its a classic.. used to wear chuck taylors... now a bit older lol... love a bit of Julian.. Pharrell still probs looks younger than me... must be the oil of yula!! lol... loving a bit a Santi Gold on this too.. great colab )
If I was ever asked by Converse to make a song with two of my favourite artists, besides total fangirling, I would just be happy getting a free pair of Chucks.
This video and song is really awesome.well I realize that, this song is still very good even in 2014. 2:12 LOL. Julian cant dance but who cares? He's Julian Casablancas.He is damn cool. as all the time ;)
I keep this song as a bookmark and listen to it when I need to feel happy. I check iTunes once every 6 mos or so hoping SOMEDAY they will release it for mass consumption!
Verse 1: Pharrell Williams] I want you Do you want me too? I have one question Can I help you? Now watch me, what I do Now thank you for coming through my drive-thru Oh! [Verse 2: Julian Casablancas] When you're haunted by the demons that'll never let you rest Not shy in front of crowds, but shy in front of just one guest Not dumb enough to win at their game But not smart enough to dumb it down, and take it away It's black & white like space at night If you wanna be like us you better work every night [Verse 3: Santigold] One question, what's your impression? Now, with a walk like mine, I'm a big presence So make your move real slow my mind's a weapon I said just move in slow no second guessing I find your approach so adolescent I may look young but your game is prepubescent So watch my feet I'm known for my quick steppin' You wanna keep up gotta show me somethin' [Refrain: Pharrell Williams] Oh! [Verse 4: Julian Casablancas] Look at all the leaders Hanging in the playground Always beating up the weaker ones (I'm going after you) The answer to the question That I don't understand Is a word that I have never heard (I'm going after you) You think happiness is watching TV all night long? You dig the job of dealing, you're the people in this song Well I am here to change your goal I regret everything I've done [Verse 5: Santigold] You wonder oh, how do I inspire? Got the world spinnin' 'round inside my palm Don't hate me, you know they got you wired You better short circuit, be your own program Cause we all wanna dance, just wanna dance Dance, we wanna dance, just wanna dance (2x) [Bridge: Julian Casablancas] It's summer, in the city It's summer, in the city I want so bad to dance with you Don't waste your time with one or two The time is right, the summer night You fall in love at every light [Verse 6: Santigold] You wonder who do I inspire Got the world spinnin' 'round inside my palm Don't hate me, you know they got you wired You better short circuit, be your own program Cause we all wanna dance, just wanna dance Dance, we wanna dance, just wanna dance (2x)
8 years later, can’t believe this collab happened
In 2023 this still bangs! Add it to your playlist and thank me later🤙🏻
now it’s 15 years
15 years ago I was dying to get this song on my ipod and am now revisiting this masterpiece in awe. My goodness! 🙏🏾 💚
@@afraidtowas about to say exactly this
Same.😂

The song that effectively put Converses on my feet
Julian is so amazing. Everything that guy touches just becomes absolute gold.
@@philipsinger6198 Girl I know what I said. Julian is a multi-genre mastermind. He can do it all.
Dachers123 homie i want to be your friend
@@gogiguess8141 My dad says I'm not allowed to have anymore internet friends after what happened last time...

@@philipsinger6198 numbers are irrelevant, Julian is really underrated
Way back when Pharrel Williams and Santigold were achieving worldwide success.
And Julian Casablancas was just starting his solo career...
Raul Mejia now I’m just here for Jules
Fernando Curillo sup nigga
@@fernandocurillo1538 now the strokes have finally released something after comedown machine
@@fernandocurillo1538
…… whiteness
Can we please get an official release of this already??? 2021 and this thing still slaps.
Since this is the only video, I think the account has been abandoned. Santigold's name hasn't even been corrected after all this time. lol
@@Srcsqwrn I never even noticed after all this time 😆
This song and/or the song “I like the night” for a commercial Julian Casablancas did for a cologne! 🔥
It's 2023 I'm still waiting cmon
That's how you know music today SUCKS in comparison to what we left behind. My goodness. 🙏🏾
4 years later and the artistry in this video still wows me. I love creativity
14 years 😱😱😩
@@jandres1392 16 Years :o
Still a banger all these years later !!
I like how everyone dances but Julian just walks around haha. Same.
he evn goes so far as to sing a nursery rhyme during his segment.
He jumps too lol
Props to Pharell and Santogold, since a good 98% of these comments are all about Julian. This was a collaborative effort, guys. They ALL did amazingly!
Would've never thought to put these three artists in a song together but oh what a GLORIOUS single they created for Converse!
This song influenced my taste in music so much. Eight-year-old me ccould not get enough of "My Drive-Thru". Summer '08 seems like a lifetime ago. I used to blast Santigold's parts (still do)! I miss Converse dropping singles with their limited edition Chucks.
I’m the only one here in 2020 still bumping this. Banger ✊
moni1210 ✊
That’s like pioneers against homeowners
I’m lame af I barely found out about this 😭 and I’m a huge Julian Casablancas (Strokes, Voidz) fan wow
Definite banger! 🎉🙌🏾💃
Just guts it’s not on Spotify
I smile when i read that some people watch this video only for Jules ;D (because i watch it for Julian ^^) well is the coolest man ever, always excellent
rock.fan same here..
rock.fan i watch this video for santogold! ;D
5 years later, people are still here watching this just for Jules. Song's a banger though ngl
@@MistbornGlados true, he kinda makes this song good. He has a good part in this song
We are all here for king julian
Why is this not on Spotify?!
Because Spotify S*** A**
Stop using that S***
RIGHT!!
Left, also, drums?
Santigold lyrics were top notch. This song in general just oozes coolness. Thank you Converse.
why now, it comes to my mind an idea that julian and pharrell are actually the real daft punk
lol yeah
same tought
Would've been fucking amazing man
ruclips.net/video/s6Ogw9111a8/видео.html
This is so stupid....
The artists who made this video are just as talented as the people who made the song. So cool! Love the art.
I love this video.
I love the song.
I love Julian Casablancas.
I love converse.
For a song that was made for a sneaker commerical it was way better than it ever needed to be. Same with the music video. Not complaining because this song is a banger.
Saved this video to my favorites a zillion years ago. I still love it! The song, video, and musician collab combo are just so cool!
candyDander same! Still a banger
santogold's part goes hard.
"I may look young
But your game prepubescent"
hell YES, i love those lines!
This will never get old.
Agree
Julian's Part simply the best!
Mildred Loría santigold all the way
They went hard for a shoe ad mad props 3 different styles mixed together went pretty solid
"Cuz were wanna dance!" and Julian is like NOPE!
I love how distinct Julian's voice is. He totally makes this song fucking amazing!
years later, and this song and video is still amazing.
Jesus. Im still listening to this now.
Julian will NEVER fail at any song.
This song and video is still so cool.❤
Now I have Santigold to listen to.
Thanks Julian.
Julian and his lovely dancing, makes my lifeeee complete. Pharrell is great as always.
Jules
Santogold can turn any track into magic--but they're all inspired here. Hard to find this track though--Converse issued it as a limited edition and discontinued it :(
To this day, one of the most creative music videos I've ever seen
I reaaally love Santogold's voice; it's different, dark and intriguing!
this needs to be on spotify right meow
Still loving this song in 2024!
I remember this song was everywhere on the internet back in 2007. Used to be number 1 on YT too. Good times.
Now this is a collaboration! Each artist has something to bring and the styles mixed together make one hell of a track. There is such a thing good music that is being made these days.
Ironically they all did a song with THE LONELY ISLAND.
MegaMav101 love Boom Box
Coincidentally, not ironically.
Who didn't lol
and 2 of them with daft punk
Shout out to the real ones listening in 2021
Santogold's last verse was so amazing!rewind it a few times!!!!!
I really believe that Jules is one of the best vocalists on earth
This was a converse TV comercial for MTV in 2005
three truly unique voices, their voices alone have personalities of their own.
its a classic.. used to wear chuck taylors... now a bit older lol... love a bit of Julian.. Pharrell still probs looks younger than me... must be the oil of yula!! lol... loving a bit a Santi Gold on this too.. great colab )
3 FREAKING AMAZING ARTISTS
"It's summerrrrr in the citayyyy!!!!"
Random thought of this song today at work,10 yrs later out of no where. Pharrell is a god and the art direction is amazing af.
2020 here we are! And I miss these jams!
Such an awesomely made clip. Love the whole paper doll effect.
Makes me want to hug the people who made it.
2020 and I am so glad I ended up here.
This song and video changed my life! My style, expanded my musical palette, my taste in women….everything! LOL
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 still hitting hard 2024
Still a bop in 2021
one of my favorites videos ALL TIME
If I was ever asked by Converse to make a song with two of my favourite artists, besides total fangirling, I would just be happy getting a free pair of Chucks.
I totally agree.
I like the voice of Santogold nice
This video and song is really awesome.well I realize that, this song is still very good even in 2014. 2:12 LOL. Julian cant dance but who cares? He's Julian Casablancas.He is damn cool. as all the time ;)
***** absolutely :)
Does the rockstar dancing? No! :)
+Jilly Daviss haha you're right :)
Ese casablancas tan cool como siempre
***** Esa es la onda que el busca, sigue siendo cool a su manera. Digamos que se hace el dracula
***** Estas cagado de la cabeza? julian ahora esta mejor que nunca.
***** Soy mujer, lo vi en el 2014, primera fila, y esta más bueno que el pan. No solo es hermosos, fisicamente pero musicalmente y como persona.
no peleen 😔
***** perdon vale
I keep this song as a bookmark and listen to it when I need to feel happy. I check iTunes once every 6 mos or so hoping SOMEDAY they will release it for mass consumption!
hmmm..never even tried to see if that was an option. Thank you! I'll go check that out now
Me choca que esta canción no esté disponible en Spotify !!! 😡 Llevo años esperando
Seguiremos esperando porque Converse tiene todos los derechos
This whole converse collab campaign had so many great songs, that was a great decade for music
I was obsessed with this song when I was in high school! Julian Casablancas 😍😍😍
The intro is amazing! I repeat it a million times whenever I listen!!!❤❤❤
Verse 1: Pharrell Williams]
I want you
Do you want me too?
I have one question
Can I help you?
Now watch me, what I do
Now thank you for coming through my drive-thru
Oh!
[Verse 2: Julian Casablancas]
When you're haunted by the demons that'll never let you rest
Not shy in front of crowds, but shy in front of just one guest
Not dumb enough to win at their game
But not smart enough to dumb it down, and take it away
It's black & white like space at night
If you wanna be like us you better work every night
[Verse 3: Santigold]
One question, what's your impression?
Now, with a walk like mine, I'm a big presence
So make your move real slow my mind's a weapon
I said just move in slow no second guessing
I find your approach so adolescent
I may look young but your game is prepubescent
So watch my feet I'm known for my quick steppin'
You wanna keep up gotta show me somethin'
[Refrain: Pharrell Williams]
Oh!
[Verse 4: Julian Casablancas]
Look at all the leaders
Hanging in the playground
Always beating up the weaker ones
(I'm going after you)
The answer to the question
That I don't understand
Is a word that I have never heard
(I'm going after you)
You think happiness is watching TV all night long?
You dig the job of dealing, you're the people in this song
Well I am here to change your goal
I regret everything I've done
[Verse 5: Santigold]
You wonder oh, how do I inspire?
Got the world spinnin' 'round inside my palm
Don't hate me, you know they got you wired
You better short circuit, be your own program
Cause we all wanna dance, just wanna dance
Dance, we wanna dance, just wanna dance (2x)
[Bridge: Julian Casablancas]
It's summer, in the city
It's summer, in the city
I want so bad to dance with you
Don't waste your time with one or two
The time is right, the summer night
You fall in love at every light
[Verse 6: Santigold]
You wonder who do I inspire
Got the world spinnin' 'round inside my palm
Don't hate me, you know they got you wired
You better short circuit, be your own program
Cause we all wanna dance, just wanna dance
Dance, we wanna dance, just wanna dance (2x)
Julian 💕💕💕✨✨😍😍😍
And this video in general is a MASTERPIECE I love it way too much
The movements are addicting
I've always loved this since I was a teenager 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Cara, o melhor desse video é o julian! cara, a voz roca dele, o jeitao rock star e all star tem tudo ahver poha! é simplismente perfeito!
8 years ago!? Fuck me...
Try 10 years this summer :(
im a guy but julians hair at 0:49 Are one of the most sexiest things ive seen
Julian himself is one of the sexiest things ever duh
This some is is fucking amazing, I keep coming back even over a decade. Shoutout to the editor and producer of the vid, they made art
Esta canción me pone siempre muy de buenas… es un clasicazo! En verdad que es un crimen que no esté en Spotify
julian casablancas
like it because of julian ofcourse
2021 and this is still a BANGER
May this gem of a song last forever!
Can't find this anywhere but on RUclips😡
I found it on 12 inch vinyl a few years ago. Worth the money though.
SoundCloud has it.
They should all make one album together.
That would be awesome as hell.
You can tell that the piano that comes in when Julian starts singing was his idea to make the song sound waaaaaaay better.
Same here! Love, love, LOOOVE!
one of the few songs with a constant beat and riff that I really really like.
" if you wanna be like us you better work every night"
Santogold 💙 fuck. So many memories.
Man, pharrells part is awsome
0:15-0:31
Classic summer 2008!!
I was 13 😭😩
I remember watching this the first time and being sooo amazed!
AYEEEE BEEN A MINUTE🔥🌊
This song is pure motivation for me. Gets my soul energized and blood pumping from my heart and all throughout my body. Wanna dance?😎
I really like that shaped formed at 1:25
Podemos hablar de lo majestuosa que es esta canción? Desde el 2007 la escucho y no me canso de hacerlo
I was in a Whataburger drive thru....thought about this song! 2021
I dead as soon as julian’s voice came out.
whenever i hear julian say its summer in the city i want to go listen to california dreaming
0:37 - 1:10
and
1:39 - 1:55
Best parts of the whole song
You still alive ?
İ guess he's dead
first time i've heard of Julian Casablancas and i farking love him ALREADY
Still knocks in the 1-9. Live for Pharrell & Santigold!!
Still here in 2023
