First unnatural joy, then the freakout, back and forth, with the latter becoming more and more frequent ... Can't decide whether it's about drugs or becoming an adult.
Depends on the drug. Some are just fun, period. And some aren't exactly fun, but are worthwhile nonetheless (like Salvia, for example, or Ibogaine, or to a lesser extent DPT).
This video freaks some people out, makes other uncomfortable. The whole "smiling", the fake smiling, the image people want to give others. This message, of what we really are, this video is trying to transmit to us, hits some of us in the core of our souls.
+noreply6 it's just the clothes, anyone in a primary colored shirt looks like a photo model and they just have stereotypical stock clothes on, half of them actually look pretty high though so that's cool
Was utterly surprised by the german in the Intro when that song came up. Was wird daraus? Wenn der Boden mal Tot geht? Wo landen diese Sachen? Wo landen diese Instrumente? Was wird damit? Roughly translated. What will become of it? If the soil dies? Where does this stuff go? Where do these instruments go? What will happen?
Love the uniqueness of RATATAT. It's like some 8bit nintendo music mixed with a touch of synth, and dash of electronic to make a deliciously enjoyable ear pie.
The imagery of this video plays in my head almost every day whenever someone smiles and I think the smile is just a fake cover of darkness. The video will curse me for the rest of my days
I indeed stumbled upon this video whilst high on a quarter of mushrooms. I love this video, and I had seen it many many times before, but I was completely lost when I saw this. I was so fucking gone it's like I was in deja vu, because I was. I knew I'd heard the song before, but the visuals man. These fucking visuals are already trippy enough. The shrooms just spiraled that shit into madness. Can't say I recommend it, at least not on a quarter of shrooms. That was a bit hardcore.
Oh man, I'm trying 10 grams of Pandora truffles tomorrow, first time for me. Truffles are weaker that dry shrooms. I will watch this video again and see if I can get the trip you did, I certainly will try.
+fuflang Some are safer than others, but all can be used responsibly under the right circumstances. I personally don't have the self-discipline to use heroin or meth responsibly, but for those who do, more power to them. But yeah, unless you've got a will of steel I'd stick to weed and psychedelics, and maybe a little mdma once a year or two if you've got enough self-discipline to keep it to that. And maybe some dissociatives if you've got slightly more self discipline than that.
Does anyone know if Evan Mast or Mike Stroud got german roots? I´m just curious because in the beginning of this video they put in german language and also they named one song "Germany to Germany" :)
i love showing these kinds of videos to my family who have never heard the kind of music i listen to. they watch and listen to the mainstream popular vids. and i put on ratatat.
don't get it either, care to explain, anyone? ( don't bother answering if you just want to call me names like that kano guy, and try to remember that not everyone is a native english speaker here, thank you)
i think its really funny how unnatural these people look on video but the stock photos are almost intended to portray natural body movements and gestures. i just have a problem with 2:57...what..the hell..is that?
Was wird daraus, wenn der Bruno mal tot geht? Wo landen diese Sachen? Wo landen diese Instrumente? Was wird daraus? Translation: "What's going to become of them if Bruno dies? Where will these things go? Where will these instruments go? What's going to become of them?"
It looks like several cameras have been arranged around a person's head, and then the combined footage from them has been flattened out so that it appears as a 'map' of their head. Rather like when you see a map of the earth :>
The reason it felt like that is because they used stock video footage to be used in commercials and other videos of the kind. Adult Swim also makes parodies of such commercials. It is really smart imo to use these footage to make a music vid. If you like this kind of parodies, I suggest you check out r/youdontsurf on reddit. Not the same but similar.
It's amazing this video is so amazing, when u r high on something u start to see this is how the world is, we all looking for comfort, we all have ulterior motives, we all are addicted to something or many things, we all r subjects to our needs and our every move and word is uttered in the hopes of getting what we think we need.
+Goldfish_Vender It's a excerpt from a movie ("Stroszek", by Werner Herzhog. In German. The character Bruno asks: "Was wird daraus, wenn der Boden mal tot geht? Wo landen diese sachen? Wo landen diese Instrumente? Was soll daraus?" Which roughly translates to: "What will happen if the soil dies out? What with these things? What with these tools? Where is it going? " (very roughly translated). le0x.tumblr.com/post/3528617559/was-wird-daraus-wenn-der-boden-mal-tot-geht Was = what wird = will wenn = when or if tot = dead geht -> the verb "gehen" = to go diese = these sachen = things (plural) English is a germanic language like German--many words have the same origin.
You're a little off, crudehawk. The first sentence asks Was wird daraus, wenn der *Bruno* mal tot geht? The character is Bruno Stroszek and he referred to himself in the third person.

So I watched this video seeing all these strange emotional depictions and it was just such a bizarre experience as most of you can attest. The second time I watched it I realized it was depictions of models of varying kinds, probably for stock photos. My experience was so different because I externalized all the awkwardness onto the models. Then I realized whether it's a depiction of models or not there are still models (actors) making these displays for this video which did weird me out the first time. So much of what we see on our screens is pretending and yet it creates so much emotional resonance as if we're really seeing it. Weird place to gain this insight.
The sample in the beginning of this song is of german actor Bruno S. who starred in some of Werner Herzog's earliest films, the moment I heard it I was like omgawd .... lit af
I wonder how many people realize how much this video is for people on hallucinogens. For those who have done them, you know how weird reading peoples emotions are..just saying....
I’ve experienced literal telepathy while on LSD. Also shrooms. But it’s like the person you’re sensing the telepathy with has to also be on it. Freaky stuff. It will be legal soon. Try it if you’re reading this.
Ratatat is entirely underrated. The amount of talent these guys have is so insane
Do you know Vulfpeck, Louis Cole, Mono Neon, Thundercat?
I saw them live in Melbourne, they’re amazing. Even though it was over a decade ago, they’re still on all my playlists ❤
5m views. stop it
@@dan4461 make me
They are great but not underrated at all
I don’t know why but Santa’s sudden appearance just cracks me up every time
because sublinimally he says "hello my little fools" with a lovely smirk on his face....the video is funny as hell xD
"we naughty or nah?"
i just spent 12 minutes looking for Satan lmao
The budgie is the best tho
when they played this live and had the video on behind it was the most surreal but epic experience ever
_Pose in front of the camera_, they said. _We'll make you look smooth_, they said.
+Arthur Hakhverdian lol
They look pretty smooth to to me
The video is like a 3 hours long acid trip. There are laughs, weird faces, disaproval faces, anger, more laughs, more panic... I love it.
Dont forget the beautiful strange lady!
Can confirm, I did acid and watched this once lollll. It was a wild ride.
So really it's like a 2-CB trip. DMT is sufficient for this video.
There are so many ways to interpret this song and video and i find them all hilarious
I like the "They're all high as a kite and are trying to hide it as hard as they can" approach the best.
John Watson No man, they're are all held hostages and have to dance like puppets at gunpoint, the members of Ratatat are standing behind the camera yelling "SMILE AND STARE AT EACHOTHER OR YOU'RE ALL DEAD" so they stand there wiggling around in panic.
forgotaboutbre How exactly do you find multiple interpretations of an instrumental song?

Instead of "this is your brain on drugs", it's "this is your whole family on drugs".
Surprised to see this was 2 years ago with the gorillaz icon, thought this would have been because of sleeping powder lol
What's new
this song is so damn catchy, i've had that 3-part harmonized guitar riff in my head the whole day
This song/Music Video is pure gold.
"You can visit 5 or 6 stores, or you could go to just 1!"

Can't decide whether it's about drugs or becoming an adult.
Drugs: First its fun, then its not
+forgotaboutbre so true
+forgotaboutbre more like:
Drugs: First it's fun, then you're sober

Depends on the drug. Some are just fun, period. And some aren't exactly fun, but are worthwhile nonetheless (like Salvia, for example, or Ibogaine, or to a lesser extent DPT).
I watched this vid on shrooms and lemme tell ya, it got unsettling very quickly. 10/10 recommend
This video freaks some people out, makes other uncomfortable. The whole "smiling", the fake smiling, the image people want to give others. This message, of what we really are, this video is trying to transmit to us, hits some of us in the core of our souls.
Never seen a music video that so accurately describes the title without ever directly referencing the title
That awful moment when you realize that people look absolutely terrifying
and that deep down you still understand perfectly why animals grin
Can relate to that.
holy shit ur right
The dude in the red shirt is totally blazed out if his mind.
I was thinking the same thing
Dont call him that or you will be getting coal for christmas
+CounterNerd lmfao
Red shirt is blazed the fuck out of is tamale holy shit!
It's a Linus Torvalds
i feel like these are stock photo models
Lmao
+noreply6 They probably are
+noreply6 it's just the clothes, anyone in a primary colored shirt looks like a photo model and they just have stereotypical stock clothes on, half of them actually look pretty high though so that's cool
+twelve dogs They actually are though, if you look up how the video was made.
They are
to anyone coming here confused, this was done 10 years before AI
Reminds me of those insurance or government commercials about guaranteed happy healthy life. Satire.
candiflipped and watched this last night... Never again
This video saw me more than I saw the video!
That's some funny ass shit what a genius observation. Your brain is delightful refreshing. I wonder if you taste like chicken.... lol
Been listening since 2012 , still listening 2022 n beyond
This is so stupidly brilliant. thank you.
I love this video. I love how psychotic it makes me feel. I want to make a video like this and hold nothing back.
Having a crazy trip with this
Was utterly surprised by the german in the Intro when that song came up.
Was wird daraus? Wenn der Boden mal Tot geht? Wo landen diese Sachen? Wo landen diese Instrumente? Was wird damit?
Roughly translated.
What will become of it? If the soil dies? Where does this stuff go? Where do these instruments go? What will happen?
Hört sich eher nach „Bruno“ an und nicht „Boden“.
At first I thought this video would just give me creepy nightmares, then I saw Santa thrown in the mix and knew I was scarred for life. I love it.
Is this what it feels like to listen to drugs?
Anthony E
Probably as close as you'll get to listening to drugs.
CounterNerd Awesome. Thanks 2D
Anthony E
No worries.
Anthony E you can try spacemen 3, taking drugs to make music to take drugs to. it´s such an experience

Was = what
wird = will
wenn = when or if
tot = dead
geht -> the verb "gehen" = to go
diese = these
sachen = things (plural)
English is a germanic language like German--many words have the same origin.
+crudehawk Wow thanks A lot!
You're a little off, crudehawk. The first sentence asks Was wird daraus, wenn der *Bruno* mal tot geht? The character is Bruno Stroszek and he referred to himself in the third person.
