Hey fellow Burlingtonites!!! I love you as much as I love the Kongos. They appeared at the Burlington Sound of Music in 2018....that's where I discovered them.
This is such a badass song, and the fact that the band doesn't take it too seriously by creating a video like this just shows how much fun these guys probably are.
These guys are chill asf! I luckily got the privilege to meet them right before they blew up and got huge! My dad's friend win tickets to a little meet and greet show they did with RXP 103.9 radio station in Colorado Springs the radio station was playing their first hit Cone with me now before it ended up on the bigger radio stations. Well my dad's friend couldn't go had to work that day so he offered them to my dad but he also had to work so his friend asked if I would be able to go and unluckily I didn't have to work that day lol It was pretty cool they played 4 songs then chilled and talked with all the people who won tickets to this little meet and greet. I thought it was pretty awesome everyone that was there all won tickets to it no one was able to pay to go to it so I thought that was very cool but what made it the best was that it was held at an old elementary school that was closed down and turned into a brewery lol the coolest thing tho was the fact that I went to that elementary school when I was in 1st grade and hadnt been back since until that meet and greet lmfao they had free draft beer since the place was a big brewery haha I had a blast drink beer where I used to play around in the gym roflmfao burnt these guys are pretty awesome down to earth ppl and fir them to take their time and meet some fans and get to know them on a more personal level gained them a life long fan in me. I knew they was gonna blow up that day I met them too they just had a special charisma and humbleness that allowed them to just be able to relate their audience!
I love how the lyrics to this song can be interpreted in two ways. "Take it from me" as in "I dare you to try and take this from me," and also "Take it from me" as in "Take my word for it." Both interpretations fit the meaning of the song very well.
MOST HIGH 888 I'm going to kill lucifer the first chance I get War End Hell I Just Will -SOURCE I have a blue laser pointed at lucifer's ghost that moves at 000 a nanosecond take that toothpick out and it'll be dead
And after carefully watching a scene , pausing, watching a Shazam scene, and repeating until the end I have come to the conclusion that it's not there.
theyre incredibly underrated idk why i love them so much their music is just great i wish people would support them more for their hard work and incredible music
This song keeps me pumped when life gets me down, just 10 more years to go and I'll be set... cheers for the amazing music over the years guys. May you keep me forever motivated to keep kicking ass.
Wow! KONGOS!! I'm a 67y Fe. Midwest, USA! Rocker from forever !! You guys are amazing!! All the best! I heard your music playing at Great America, Gurnee ,Illinois this last couple of weeks and I thought man! I am so on cut with the cutting edge of music!!🎼🎵🎶🎙 even though I'm in advanced years! Thank you all!❤
Man, if the entire album is like this song, and I Want To Know/Hey, I Don't Know, then you guys have made a hit! Already pre-ordered and everything! Absolutely love it!
heard these guys for the first time on the radio in Lexington, Ky a couple weeks ago and became an instant fan. no song has disappointed so far. love em
Hey Dylan and Kongos - Pam and I love the song and this video is so cool and hilarious at the same time! I loved the smoke machine, juicing, and coconuts (the big heads and yoga girls were a nice touch too)! :)
This song shows that the members of KONGOS have a kind of self-awareness that is absent in most celebrities. They see how easy it is to become big-headed and lose sight of what's important. They clearly aren't like most celebrities.
Intro] It got a mind of its own and it stings [Verse 1] Look up, don’t make a noise or bend Took me a minute to clear my head Tried me calling, but the blanks won’t fill Cameras rolling, but I forgot the film [Chorus] Take it from me When you start it’s just a matter of time Any minute you will cross that line Take it from me You never think about the prices you pay It got a mind of its own and it stings Take it from me It got a mind of its own and it stings Take it from me It got a mind of its own and it stings Take it from me [Bridge] Nothing can stop me Nothing holds me back Think you could slow me down? Knock me off my track Nothing can stop me Nothing holds me back Think you could slow me down? There ain’t no turning back [Verse 2] It don’t take much for the beast to bolt A split second too late to bring to a hold Your hypnotized, your feet follow your sins It’s not unlike, a single rep’s for good use [Chorus] Take it from me When you start it’s just a matter of time Any minute you will cross that line Take it from me You never think about the prices you pay Take it from me It got a mind of its own and it stings Take it from me It got a mind of its own and it stings [Bridge] Nothing can stop me Nothing holds me back Think you could slow me down? Knock me off my track Nothing can stop me Nothing holds me back Think you could slow me down? There ain’t no turning back [Outro] Take it from me It got a mind of its own and it stings Nothing can stop me Nothing holds me back Think you could slow me down? There ain’t no turning back Take it from me Take it from me
The first verse is "Woke up, don't recognize the bed, took me a minute to clear my head. I tried recalling, but the blanks won't fill. Camera's rolling, but I forgot the film." In the second line of the second verse, the last word is "halt"
Stumbled upon a Kongos, Lunatic album I had from Rocking the Daisies, CTN a few years back. Listened again and I am obsessed. Every song is an earworm and I can't get off it. Kongos please keep on doing what you do so well!
Please make more videos for the Egomaniac album. It's fantastic. Definitely one of the greatest albums of the year. Your band has almost immediately became one of my favorites.

There I was, driving stoned on a back road when this groovy vibe slithered into my ear. The mystical snake charmer singing this piece of heaven looked me dead in the eyes and told me to drive, just keep driving; so that's what I did.
Did anyone Shazam this song yet? If not, you should do that now!! Lots of comments which is good to see, so I apologize in advance if anyone already posted about extra video clip when you Shazam. Let me know what you guys think of it.
I did and I can't find ANY extra info. It just find the standard music and video. Where is the extra content? I installed Shazam just for that, I'm not used to the app.

Here i'm 60 years old and this song moves me. I'm a musician but music lives matter too. The ones that don't like this song, why did you listen to it?
Its always really cool when the drummer is the vocals.
The night they drove old Dixie down
Love this song. Love this video. Love this band. That is all.
+Walk off the Earth going to see you guys in august here in Newfoundland , thinks it's gonna be a mad show . Like your sound and passion ;)
One of my favourite bands commented the video of an other one of favourite bands too. Top!😍😂👌
Hey fellow Burlingtonites!!! I love you as much as I love the Kongos. They appeared at the Burlington Sound of Music in 2018....that's where I discovered them.
And that's what matters.
Yeah.. Me too ;-))
I really love the Kongos. one of the best bands ever. Their style is so unique. I love it!
It's a South African sound

I thought it was pretty awesome everyone that was there all won tickets to it no one was able to pay to go to it so I thought that was very cool but what made it the best was that it was held at an old elementary school that was closed down and turned into a brewery lol the coolest thing tho was the fact that I went to that elementary school when I was in 1st grade and hadnt been back since until that meet and greet lmfao they had free draft beer since the place was a big brewery haha I had a blast drink beer where I used to play around in the gym roflmfao burnt these guys are pretty awesome down to earth ppl and fir them to take their time and meet some fans and get to know them on a more personal level gained them a life long fan in me.

They're South African. We take nothing seriously.
And we're chill as can be too.
I love how the lyrics to this song can be interpreted in two ways.
"Take it from me" as in "I dare you to try and take this from me,"
and also "Take it from me" as in "Take my word for it."

I just discovered this band and I'm addicted
You've been missin out 🖤
I wish they would tourrrrrr
Try come with me
Litle too late to the party my friend!!!
I have been addicted for nearly 4 years 😀
HELP!!! I can't stop myself from re-playing this track over and over and over!! MASSIVE LOVE for this one!
I love how different their sound is. It's really refreshing.
I've never seen a band with hair as a majestic as theirs
It cannot be compared to.
I mean, they look like Kings of Leon, have you never seen them?
+le iidot Don't ruin their compliment.
Try The Doors or The Cult Ian and Jim surpass.
There is literally an entire genre of music called “Hair Metal”
Did you know that if you Shazam this song you can get access to a deleted scene from the video? We wouldn't lie about this.
+KONGOS Yes you would.
+KONGOS nope.
Merhaba
Where
And after carefully watching a scene , pausing, watching a Shazam scene, and repeating until the end I have come to the conclusion that it's not there.
Discovered this a couple weeks ago, can't stop listening to it.
This song is going to be huge, already in love!
theyre incredibly underrated idk why i love them so much their music is just great i wish people would support them more for their hard work and incredible music

this makes me so proud being south African 👌
Kongos was the opening band at a concert I went to. They were way better live than the main event!
Man, if the entire album is like this song, and I Want To Know/Hey, I Don't Know, then you guys have made a hit!
Already pre-ordered and everything! Absolutely love it!
You can hear I dont mind live on youtube. A pretty rad song.
+Brenton Anderson Thanks for that, we are glad that people are psyched for the album.
+KONGOS inb4 the rest of the album sounds nothing like this
Lost my son,quite unexpectedly 4yrs back....now I have an ocarina and praise his Freedom, playin with yallz 🦅👩🚀👩🏻🎤👨🚒🙅♀️🙋♀️🏃♀️👯♀️🤺🖖🤞
Everytime these guys come out with a new track I always find myself loving them more and more. Keep it up you guys!
Amazing band. I desperately need this album in my life. Turned up.
deserves way more recognition.
Just heard this track on 5fm in SA and instantly knew it was Kongos. This is awesome.

I love this song. Great memories and great video. Rock on!💙💚💖
This is the best thing I have ever seen advertised on RUclips.
the only people that can actually make an accordion sound good
Why would you purposely try to make Weird Al sad?
Weird Al can blow it out of his ass
Make it sound cool rather than funny.
+Saltyoven I still stand by my statement, they're the only people that can actually produce a great sounding accordion
any band that can rock an accordion, is worth your time.
I love this band
The boys have done it again. There's Hip-hop, Pop, Rock and a new genre called KONGOS! Uniqueness is refreshing.
These guys are awesome! Great to hear new music from them.
This song is gonna blow up this summer.
Intro]
It got a mind of its own and it stings
[Verse 1]
Look up, don’t make a noise or bend
Took me a minute to clear my head
Tried me calling, but the blanks won’t fill
Cameras rolling, but I forgot the film
[Chorus]
Take it from me
When you start it’s just a matter of time
Any minute you will cross that line
Take it from me
You never think about the prices you pay
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Take it from me
[Bridge]
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
Knock me off my track
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
There ain’t no turning back
[Verse 2]
It don’t take much for the beast to bolt
A split second too late to bring to a hold
Your hypnotized, your feet follow your sins
It’s not unlike, a single rep’s for good use
[Chorus]
Take it from me
When you start it’s just a matter of time
Any minute you will cross that line
Take it from me
You never think about the prices you pay
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings
[Bridge]
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
Knock me off my track
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
There ain’t no turning back
[Outro]
Take it from me
It got a mind of its own and it stings
Nothing can stop me
Nothing holds me back
Think you could slow me down?
There ain’t no turning back
Take it from me
Take it from me

got a sound straight out of their dad's disco era. gotta love any group that makes an accordion cool.
Come back to play in Hungary, your concert was amazing!
It's 2024 mar,,,,, and I still can't turn them off...
And I was thrust into this world, 1946 Virginia, USA
I love this music!! Is the best!! Congratulations for making this wonder !
Loved seeing this band last year in Toronto, one of the best shows I've been to at Danforth!
Obrigada, eu agradeço imensamente pelo som, é muito bom perceber que o rock se renova.
Literally the only song I've been listening to since finding it
This woke me up one day on my way home from work. It bumps.
Stumbled upon a Kongos, Lunatic album I had from Rocking the Daisies, CTN a few years back. Listened again and I am obsessed. Every song is an earworm and I can't get off it. Kongos please keep on doing what you do so well!

This guys are the best thing South Africa gave to the world.
You guys are my favorite band. Another good song!

Big heads to go along with big egos is okay when your this good, awesome song, keep releasing em!
Maybe next video, ya can inflate some better parts of those gorgeous background ladies!
You mean Bellies you gross pervert?
we found the triggered one.
No inflation please, let's keep fetishes secret
When I saw the big heads all I could think was UT2004.
Another signature Kongos tune after a long time, I loved it.
Daaam!! Guys you are freaking amazing.... It's so cool
+Palzow Casti Thank you.
The beat, accordion sounds so good!
Please make more videos for the Egomaniac album. It's fantastic. Definitely one of the greatest albums of the year. Your band has almost immediately became one of my favorites.

Was on your concert in Kiev. It was awesome!. Thank you guys.
Go Kongos!!!
PROUD SOUTH AFRICAN FAN!
If you're still listening to this in 2021, know - you are goddamn legend!
Their amazing use of an accordion is something I've never seen before... and it fits perfectly. Who would've known?
Rebetika
It took three years for "Come with Me Now" to become a hit. Hopefully this one gets huge at least a little quicker than that.
I think Borderlands The Presequel had a big role in that, I think
Trevor Burgart yeah no
You have to share good music if you want them to get bigger.
Wow. Why did this take me so long to discover!? I can't stop replaying. Such great music. 🎶
Geniales me encanta KONGOS!!!👏👏👏👍
I love KONGOS - The song is awesome. Modern day Duran Duran but so much new sound. Truly awesome song! Thank you.
I saw this at 60000 view 90000, and now 102000. I can't wait to hear it on the radio
+Carlosww11 I heard it on the radio this morning
You guys are absolutely awesome
Why the Fuck they're so underrated
They're music is always amazing😍😍😍😍
Nothing can stop me...Since 2017
#LOVEKONGOS
AMAZING WORK, GUYS!! CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT HAHA
This song will be a hit
Omg the dog is barking the backup vocals the whole time 😄
It's kind of like when you notice the jug sound from "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry; once you notice it, you can't stop focusing on it.
Would be nice to see You in Poland. You are fantastic guys, boys
Hello 2024!🎉
No siema xD
You guys rocked the Ballroom in Calgary.
is anyone else digging the accordion besides me. these guys are quickly becoming superstars. this is their best song yet.
The kind of music that can't tell if you're just on an audio high, or literally speaking... Great song/video guys!
Diooos, buscando esta canción desde que era niño jajsj
yo tambien amigo
So absolutely refreshing to hear music that doesn't sound like everyone else's!!! Great job guy's!
Have you guys considered making bobbleheads? Also your music is so catchy I find myself walking to the beat when I think of it or hear it.
I second that !! Hahahaha! me too my friend me too !
+Bianca Zebold same here!!
Peter Daigle Hahahaha right on !!!
Same here...walking to the beat and now I need a real bobble-head and dog for my backup vocals
I love this group..

Yikes.
I just heard these guys for the first time today. They are unique and talented beyond 99% of the stuff out these days. Woeee!
This band makes me want to start my own Marmalade company 💁♂️
We’ve been waiting years for this comment to arrive. The prophecy has been fulfilled

This songs has soul. Thank you kongos for not making the usual music. :D
