Cant believe I've just discovered the bird and the bee today.. seriously. I am immediately hooked. Brilliant voice, brilliant music, arrangements, and style. Very willingto listen to everything they have and immerse in 2023.
I just did today... I think. Only two songs in. I saw Beach House when they first come to NYC FOR the first time, and while they didn't upstage the main act, they came close and I've always thought beach house was really original two piece and I followed them ever since... This is the first thing I've heard since then that kind of seems reminiscent of that. So I *think* I'm on board At the very least I'll have two great songs to play on my podcast but I'm probably going to listen to a whole album unless it's bad I'll become a fan I'm sure! But yeah. Just now TODAY. HEARD em at the end of a film. Random. 💕 Synchronicity really. If you in believe nothing is ever really truly random like I do Or love. If you believe in that sorta thing
I was introduced to them by this very song almost ten years ago. Haven't looked back since. Do yourself a favor if you haven't already: their Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future album is sublime
God, what I wouldn't give to have seen the casting call for this video. "Seeking old people that have a basic idea of what dancing is, but no recollection of any dance moves. Please look as uncomfortable as possible while performing."
These guys music is so catchy and poppy yet is subtlety so sophisticated and musically virtuosic. Very rare to have both. Her voice is also just simply beautiful.
i love this song, and i love the bird and the bee's style :D they dont have to do all these special effects, all they need is creativity,and when she sings live she actually can sing, they should get more credit than what they have, because alot of artists dont even have talent, but they do :o
This takes me back to a special place. A place of my childhood, a place of strange abandon, a place of my past that I can never relive, but I always like to visit!
Palmer SCOTTTTT! My one true love. Fell in love watching Tim and Eric, and seeing him in this back in…. 2014? Made my entire week, and has blessed my life almost weekly since.
Mastered by none other than Emily Lazar! An American Grammy-nominated mastering engineer. That is why this sounds so epic for this genre (hear it on studio monitors)
i think we should all take a minute to thank Greg Kirsten himself ( the keyboardist ) he's produced SIA, the new FOO FIGHTERS album and basically anything else that came out over the last year of uber stardom.
Facebook told me yesterday that i shared this videoclip and this song 14 years ago. i didn't remember at all, but I LOVE IT AGAIN ! amazing song and video !! :D
Just to throw this out there (and I'm sure someone has mentioned it) but I'm pretty sure this video was directed by Tim and Eric. Same as The Youth by MGMT.
I've listen to this song so many times, and just now thought as it came on, there has got to be a cool music video for this. After discovering this gem, I now enjoy the song even more with this visual. That was awesome.
This is such a great song many years later. It just had the kind of sound that doesn't really age. And Eric Wereheim is such a great and hilarious director. And Palmer Scott is such a fucking champ for being just down to clown and be the fucking super star that he is.
Love this band and love this video. Playing it on this first day of work back from the long holiday weekend...I need to have a polite dance song playing.
This is such a good song! Her voice is absolutely perfect! This music video xDD You'd expect something very dramatic and sad but you get this. I can't say I'm disappointed though. I came from I Sit On You, hahahaha.
"Give it up for me please, put your hands in the air If you know what's good for you, you wanna shake it like you just don't care Would you please clap your hands, now get up on your feet I beg of you to get up and dance, it's such a crazy kick-ass beat" she had me a the first verse and so i shall remain a fan i love this song
I think I have thought about this video once a day since 2009.
Same
Same
Oh me too, Eric Warheim (Tim & Eric) directed it
Yessssss! I could never remember the name but I could see the whole video
Garrett! Of course you have great taste in music! ❤

HEARD em at the end of a film.
Random. 💕
Synchronicity really.
If you in believe nothing is ever really truly random like I do
Or love. If you believe in that sorta thing
Do yourself a favor and go listen to their 2009 live session on KCRW right now! It's peak Bird and the Bee!
I was introduced to them by this very song almost ten years ago. Haven't looked back since. Do yourself a favor if you haven't already: their Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future album is sublime
This song has no business being as good as it is... it lives in my brain rent free
God, what I wouldn't give to have seen the casting call for this video. "Seeking old people that have a basic idea of what dancing is, but no recollection of any dance moves. Please look as uncomfortable as possible while performing."
All the literal LOLs!!!
Butt plugs in all of the dancers would explain so much.
All the literal LOLs!!!
I wonder if they're laughing at themselves/acting or not - know what I mean
These were people Tim & Eric had already worked with I'm sure
These guys music is so catchy and poppy yet is subtlety so sophisticated and musically virtuosic. Very rare to have both. Her voice is also just simply beautiful.
look in to Red Velvet
This song doesn't get old for me. SO GROOVY. SO SMOOTH. Can't believe its been ten years, and still sounds fresh
Here here.
Same 🙋🏻♀️
Same man. Boutta add another playlist to my 20 with this in it
At this rate we are gonna be in our final form, like the dancers in this video in no time.
This has proven to be the best music video of the 2000s so far.
This has got to be one of the craziest music videos I've ever seen. Eric Wareheim is a crazy genius. Gotta love him.
Classic Tim & Eric video production.
+XenomorphLV426 Think this was just Eric Wareheim actually
Classic poop production
brother
They don't get credit for something people didn't have a choice in and made work.
My thoughts...absolutely!
This has been on my RUclips playlist for 8 years now, always the same feeling every time I see it. Masterpiece.
10 years now. And same.
I love the Bird & The Bee... especially their Hall & Oates covers
Wo1÷÷×1+(×(#
Yass
This music video is an actual masterpiece on so many levels and I can't even explain why.
Unreal how much reading in to it can be done...full of scorpions my mind.
+JungleOrange damn bruh
+chileo1 right?!
it was directed by Eric from the Tim and Eric show.
I'd believe it in a heartbeat
I learned of this band through my love of Tim and Eric. And my life's been better because of it.
i love this song, and i love the bird and the bee's style :D they dont have to do all these special effects, all they need is creativity,and when she sings live she actually can sing, they should get more credit than what they have, because alot of artists dont even have talent, but they do :o
Does the word Nuance, give you a better frame?
The guy's little gesture at 2:18
Ha! Hilarious.
How the hell did you notice that!
Uhh, The guy who's smiling at 3:52 is even more hilarious, love the whole train wreck.
He had the. He can't dance look. Lol
he was pushing the guitar away
hi daria
I’m so glad I found this band! I cannot get enough of them!
This takes me back to a special place. A place of my childhood, a place of strange abandon, a place of my past that I can never relive, but I always like to visit!
Look who it is!!! PALMER SCOTT. The man, the myth, the legend.
Always a good day when you have a Palmer Scott sighting.
my Bub bubs r bouncing
1:20 That guy bit off a little more than he could chew with those squats.
Finally, a dance song I can relate to. It's what I've been waiting for my whole life.
Yeah it's lovely 💜💜
I would like to thank Wade Robson and his instructional dance video for introducing me to this song. Much better than child abuser garbage.
I laughed pretty good at this
Palmer SCOTTTTT! My one true love. Fell in love watching Tim and Eric, and seeing him in this back in…. 2014? Made my entire week, and has blessed my life almost weekly since.
I've loved this song for years only just saw the video today. It's everything I could have hoped for and more.
Love listening to The Bird and The Bee! They're awesome!
The antidote to any waiting room. I feel an administrative revolution brewing.
A lot of people can horse around dancing as directed by Tim and Eric. However Palmer Scott brings something truly special. He’s feelin it man.
This might be the best song ever written in combination with the best video ever filmed........My brain just mushroom clouded.
Palmer Scott, what a hunk!
The chorus is *haunting* and I don't know why. It's cool.
More videos should be this enjoyable.. Tim and Eric should have been part of the dance off.
Greg giving Inara the "stinkeye" at 2:24 lol :)
Best video ever. Eric Warheim is amazing. This song is so well written too.
Visual comedy , entering and exiting the frame, camera movement and static camera, transitions, zoom ins and contrasts it's got it all
I haven't heard this in years! still amazing!
Hm, I’ll be back again. 5, 10, 15 years, who knows. But I’ll have a craving for a simpler time, and this will always scratch that itch.
Those dance moves!
This is such a crazy kick ass beat
That's such a catchy chorus
Just goes to show doesn't matter how old you are, if you love dancing, YOU DANCE!!!!! :D
Also when I saw the lady dancing, I immediately thought of the dwarf that dances on Twin Peaks lol she definitely reminded me of him ha
Amy Duran Fun fact: Eric Wareheim, the director of this video is a huge Twin Peaks fan.
Tim Jordan aww that's awesome, I did not know that, thanks :) makes sense now lol
omg this is how i found the bird and the bee and i've been a fan since. Love Lifetimes! Don't ever stop!
At 3:32 he does the This Is What I Do I Sit On You pelvic thrust
Mastered by none other than Emily Lazar!
An American Grammy-nominated mastering engineer.
That is why this sounds so epic for this genre (hear it on studio monitors)
When life gets too serious, I watch this video again.
Life has been serious about 30 times to far.
bob smith life has been serious about thirty times today...
The more I listen to these guys, the more I kind of like what their doing! Definitely a different beat!
What a random video! Cool song.
Dammit, the video is growing on me. The music and band are outstanding. Love the singer's voice, playing, and super-casual relaxed style.
It's made by Eric from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, which is pretty clear. Uses pretty much the same actors, style etc.
can we all take a moment to thank eric wareheim for producing this music video
i think we should all take a minute to thank Greg Kirsten himself ( the keyboardist ) he's produced SIA, the new FOO FIGHTERS album and basically anything else that came out over the last year of uber stardom.
oh, did he really? I wondered why this looked so familiar.
Thank you, Eric.
Thank you, Eric!
thank you Eric
Had no idea this was gonna have such a timeless brilliance.
2:52 He's GROOVIN
EPIC ending!! Saw these guys live last night, so good!!
One of the best music videos ever made. Great song too.
Facebook told me yesterday that i shared this videoclip and this song 14 years ago. i didn't remember at all, but I LOVE IT AGAIN ! amazing song and video !! :D
"Dance like you've never been loved, hurt like no one is watching."
I've seen this video sssooooo many times and i just notice @2:17 how greg pushed away inara's guitar all nonchalant
Awesome Video, Great Job!
Just to throw this out there (and I'm sure someone has mentioned it) but I'm pretty sure this video was directed by Tim and Eric. Same as The Youth by MGMT.
"Sit on you" guy is GETTIN' it! Brilliant video, Eric. Great song, B&B.
What a powerful song/video/duo.
it never stops being good
I work for a very blue collar red state construction company and they dont know I'm jamming to Bird and the Bee in my ear buds each morning
Love the celebrity appearance by Palmer Scott, great video
the guy in red not only won the dance competition, but won the entire Internet as well!
P A L M E R S C O T T
TIM AND ERIC AWESOME SHOW GREAT JOB! sit on you
a truly mesmerizing video
I've listen to this song so many times, and just now thought as it came on, there has got to be a cool music video for this. After discovering this gem, I now enjoy the song even more with this visual. That was awesome.
This is such a great song many years later. It just had the kind of sound that doesn't really age. And Eric Wereheim is such a great and hilarious director. And Palmer Scott is such a fucking champ for being just down to clown and be the fucking super star that he is.
This what I do I sit on you,sit on you
1:32 how could Inara keep a face like that while singing "I wanna see your naughty bit"
I think this video influenced Fleabag. Amazing introductory scene with Awolnations « Sail ».
This is such a good song! I've listened to it years ago.
This song is so stuck in my head it's unreal. I can't believe I'm just now hearing it, but I love discovering old gems.
One of my most prized and priceless possessions is that I have that fantastic dancers picture that's autographed: "To Whistler. I sit on you!"
At 1:15... dude does the Zoidberg
1:53 I think that’s Will Grello’s dad
The best video by one of the great original bands.
Love this band and love this video. Playing it on this first day of work back from the long holiday weekend...I need to have a polite dance song playing.
This is the best combination of song + video … ever.
I love this so much. I can't believe I haven't heard this song until now. I want to be the lady in the metallic shirt.
I'm a new fan and omg this video
I'm a new fan and omg this video
2018
So crazy watching this video that the “guy on the keyboard” is one of the greatest music producers today.
best song to listen to while self isolating due to Coronavirus epidemic. Let us dance politely to this beautiful song.
thanks!! to tim and eric awesome show great job I found this song :D
Genius song with a HILARIOUS video... another win for Bird N Bee!!!
This is amazing... I've heard this song so many times, never saw the video before tonight. Nothing like I expected, but I love it!
Such a awesome song and fantastic video. @ 3:31 is facial expression during the entire video lol.
So great and so Tim and Eric.
I love to hear and see this stoned with good headphones!!!
This is the single greatest music video I've ever seen. Along with the video for Halloweenhead by Ryan Adams, of course.
I'm in love with everything this offered my brain.
Second this, nine years after
I can't stop to hear this magnificent stuff.. I don't know why.. and don't ask me the reason.. please
this is awesome for two reasons. great job!
2:51 open mouth!! Great!.... also the black guy is the best...
Awesome video and great song!!
perfect song the is happy n sad at the same time
indeed
Just heard the end of this song on Pandora, I like :) probably heard it before, but the sound caught my attention just now lol
This is such a good song! Her voice is absolutely perfect! This music video xDD You'd expect something very dramatic and sad but you get this. I can't say I'm disappointed though. I came from I Sit On You, hahahaha.
can't stop rewatching... so good
wow! tres canciones escuchadas y me enamore de esta bandaaa!!! ♥
yes eric directed it. he does a lot of vids.
It's 2024 and I've just heard this. I truly thought it was a new song. Holy cow.
"Give it up for me please, put your hands in the air
If you know what's good for you, you wanna shake it like you just don't care
Would you please clap your hands, now get up on your feet
I beg of you to get up and dance, it's such a crazy kick-ass beat"
she had me a the first verse and so i shall remain a fan i love this song
Man it's been years since I've listened to them :'( totally forgot how much I loved them
