LYRICS:
Out on the street
The real heads
Trying to keep it low
Saw you move to the beat
And I was blown away
That’s all you need to know
Maybe I mistook
Pure distraction for a flash of love
I wanna clear the air by Monday
If all the tanks are gone
And when it settles down I wonder
If I’ll like what we’ve done
You know we just started
We’re proud-hearted
Like fish in the lobby
Dead and gone
Dancing in Babylon
Two ships in the night
Quietly signaling from the bow
Don’t you miss feeling like
You could run away
And nobody had to know?
When our time is up
Call the captain tell him to let me off
Don’t rush me
I don’t wanna be
Thinking about this stuff
You hurt me and I run to you
Is that the big idea?
You know we just started
Proud-hearted
We’re fish in the lobby
Dead and gone
Dancing in Babylon
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna touch the scars
And break the chains that hold you
But I won’t start
Til the sun dips down
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you

MGMT has not said goodbye to the 80s and we're all proud
Because the 80s were babylon
@@laurenelizabeth2592 she knows 🫶🏻
This is pure 1991 bro
Yeah 90’s
I'm missing some AIDS just to complete the 80's tropes
This was my mom’s favorite song from 1982, still has meaning today
Pretty sure it was just released...
@@manasimalhotra9567 He's referring to the original from 1982
@@derekherzog1569 What is the original? I don't believe this is a cover.
@@de231 exactly, this isnt a cover, andrew actually wrote it
The two originals came around in very late 1982 and early 1983, actually.
Little Bright Age
Little woke age ...
The New Day
@@CapitaineHaddockThis is the opposite of woke, you prole.
@@CapitaineHaddockthis ain't woke
More elegan
“I wanna tell everyone I know ‘I love you.’” I adore how this band can imbue such simple words with so much meaning. Wanting to shout your love for one person for the whole world to hear, or to have fallen a little bit in love with everyone you’ve ever met. A dream collab that didn’t disappoint, Friday can’t come fast enough!
honestly when i first heard them say it, i thought they were saying like they want to say "i love you" to everyone they know lmfao
@@MobstrLobster that was what i thought also, I suppose you can interpret it both ways? they are both beautiful meanings
@@ceoofsony5924 nahhhh goldengrapes is definitely right lol
I just wanna go to the rooftops and scream, "I love my best friend, Evan!".
Certified 1980s classic 👌
It's 2024 !!
No its 1984 whenever this song is played
As if. Sounds sh it.
Nah, you're dreaming kid
Why are you guys hating? Nobody is taking anything from you
Sounds like MGMT’s version of Total Eclipse of the Heart. I’m here for it.
Time After Time
It’s a mixture of We Belong by Pat Benatar and TEotH. Lol
Not even remotely as good
@@jhickman4735lol if that’s your taste then you’re on the wrong RUclips channel.
@@austinh1645total eclipse is one of my fav songs ever and MGMT are one of my fav bands, so...🤷
they sound so good harmonizing together
That sandwich at the beginning looked good
MGMT keeps me sane
exactly the same for me
Me fucking too dude me fucking too
I love Cristine and the Queens!! A crossover I never expected but I'm so here for it! Brilliant
Surprised to see all the mixed opinions on this song. At the first listen I felt iffy about it, but now I can’t get this song out of my head! It’s honestly my favorite from the record, it evokes such a happy feeling out of me.
I remember this song came out during the Reagan presidency, I was 12 years old playing Space Invaders at the local arcade, then this song comes on the jukebox, a few months later MTV played the video on repeat, life was so different back then
This is so weird. I love every second
Wake up babe, new MGMT gaymers anthem just dropped 😭
I can't believe this was the music video, so confused.
Gaymer here and can confirm
Very Cyndi Lauper, very 80s vibes, love it!
Mgmt Is Back🔥
They'be been here the whole time
MGMT is glorious, it is my favorite band, I love their songs, successes!!
How did you comment one day ago when the video's only been out for 3 hours?
@@MegaXPgM there was a premiere thing so u could comment before the vid came out
To whoever is listening to this song now, wherever you are.... Sending you love, peace, healing and all good wishes. May your life be good❤
This is going to be a truly eclectic album
I can't wait for Thursday (tomorrow) for my vinyl to get here.
Mother Nature is the best piece of songwriting I have heard in decade@@joesosa41
I freaking love this video!!! Christine And The Queens and MGMT are a perfect partnership and their voices sound so nice together. I love the 80’s vibe here and I love Chris’s outfit! Let’s bring suspenders back!!! 💓🌈🎶
First three singles and I had an idea of what the sound of the album was going for. I have no clue now. Most excited I’ve ever been for friday to come
I was excited... till I listened to this.
@@isaacnoroncaasiand then I became way more excited
_- _*_Me too!_*_ Seriously, so far in the album, this has generated a lot of curiosity and good intrigue._
why am I crying
I love you mgmt
I love you chris
Christine* she's a woman
Black mirror but wholesome
Totally thought of that one episode from BM😁👏👏
I love this new wave of ZERO IRONY just like - great retro style music these days like this (and Lemon Twigs for the more 70s sound) because it's not like "OH LOOK HOW COOL AND RETRO LOL!" - it's done in earnest. Awesome!
Seems ironic to me Oh wait are you being ironic here too?
Ariel Pink started this in 2010 lol
Lemon Twigs are amazing!
Recognizing John Cameron Mitchell in a Spotify music video preview for a brand-new MGMT song just sent my heart through the heavens and further beyond
Mgmt has kept me sane for 7 years
I don’t normally comment but goddamn I love this song so f**king much
This album is criminally underrated.
So was Congratulations. Both masterpieces
Very cool they used a real life couple. These music vids are next level mgmt !
they are an actual couple? I thought they were actors!
Care to share about the background of the lovely couple?
@@joesosa41 Julian Morris and Landon Ross. They are a real couple, they are living together for about 20 years. They are married.
sounds like an 80s hit
Because the 80s were Babylon ❤
And looks like 2000s
Extremely good song with fantastic writing. I only hope it wont clash with the rest of the album because the tone seems pretty different from the rest of the previews but I guess we'll know soon!
I absolutely love everything about MGMT and here I am ❤
same here 🥲 their comeback makes me so happy
Prince would love this ❤
Wasn't he homophobic??
I love you MGMT ❤
Aww wtf I dig it!! The 80s vibe is definitely still alive and well
Christ is Lord. Beautiful song.

That's all you need to know
Maybe I mistook pure distraction
For a flash of love
[Chorus: Andrew VanWyngarden, Christine and the Queens, Both]
I wanna clear the air by Monday

Verse 2: Andrew VanWyngarden & Christine and the Queens]
Two ships in the night
Quietly signaling from the bow
Don't you miss feeling like you could run away
And nobody had to know?
When your time is up, call the captain
Tell him to let mе off
[Chorus: Andrew VanWyngarden & Christine and the Queens, Christine and the Queens]
Don't rush me (Don't rush me)
I don't wanna be thinking about this stuff
You hurt mе and I run to you
Is that the big idea?

[Bridge: Andrew VanWyngarden, Christine and the Queens, Both]
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you"
I wanna touch the scars and break the chains
That hold you
But I won't stop
'Til the sun dips down
[Outro: Both, Andrew VanWyngarden, Christine and the Queens]
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you"
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you"
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you" (Dancing in Babylon)
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you" (Dancing in Babylon)
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you" (We're dancing in Babylon)
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you" (Dancing in Babylon)
I wanna tell everyone I've loved
"I love you, I do"
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you" (I wanna tell everyone I know)
"I love you, I love you, I love you"
Soundtrack to summer 2024 🔜
Andrew's voice is just so good
I never know what I’m gonna get from MGMT, every track is a different sound
"I wanna tell everyone I know, I love you."
This part at the end is where I cried. As a closeted bi guy, I also want to tell the world who I love. But the fear of judgement and worse reactions always holds me back. I relate to those two characters in the video. They can only have love in the video game. But will it also be possible in the real world? That faint smile at the end from one of the players seems to hold that hope. And I think that's what the video wants to impart with us. Hope.
Thank you so much MGMT for that wonderful music ❤
the actors are married in real life :) their names are in the video description
For real this was really fun to watch and brought back hope for artistry in music these days! I hope they had a blast making the video and your comment was great!
This song brings me back to a time long ago. Bittersweet, beautiful. Been waiting for a song like this one for a long time
Love you MGMT from South Korea.
I want to go to seoul
no way i made a sandwich and am eating it watching this for the first time
Same
Was it a good sandwich?
i love u management please come to finland ♡ i listen to these new singles every night at bedtime ♡
This is glorious.
My first time hearing Christine! Her voice is so beautiful ❤
This song is ICONIC. I don’t really feel like it will be grasped until years from now. This is just beyond.
ok now this is a band that will certainly leave an everlasting imprint on music
MORE MGMT!
What’s up dawg
Those synths are heavenly ☁
This so reminds me of my youth (Cindy Lauper, Thompson Twins, etc) ... 1987'ish and I absolutely love that artist like @MGMT and Christine haven't abandoned New Wave.
I... cannot formulate a sentence. Awe, what a gift from you all xx
These two voices are to be appreciated together 🤍💙
When the indie kids and theater kids make a song
In the latest auditory odyssey unleashed by MGMT, "Dancing In Babylon," featuring the ethereal sonic textures of Christine and the Queens, we are plunged into an existential dance floor, one that oscillates between the realms of the Babylonian discotheques of yore and the pulsating heart of contemporary existential musings. The track, a veritable cornucopia of synth-laden reverberations, invites listeners into a labyrinth of introspection, wherein the ostensibly simple proclamation, “I wanna tell everyone I know ‘I love you,’” transforms into a profound philosophical quandary.
This phrase, deceptively straightforward in its composition, unravels like a cosmic thread, weaving through the fabric of our collective consciousness. It prompts one to ponder, with a hint of ironic detachment, the absurdity of expressing a sentiment as universal yet as uniquely personal as love, in an era where such declarations are often lost in the digital ether. MGMT, in their quintessential style, has not merely written a song; they have crafted an existential echo chamber, reflecting the myriad ways in which love, in its most unadulterated form, can transcend the boundaries of time, space, and even irony.
The collaboration with Christine and the Queens elevates this track into a sublime dialogue between two entities, each exploring the nuances of love, longing, and the human condition, all while dancing on the precipice of the ancient city of Babylon. This partnership, akin to the joining of two astral bodies in a celestial dance, encapsulates the paradox of seeking a connection in a disconnected world, and the beauty of finding it in the least expected places.
As Friday approaches, with the fervor of a zealot awaiting the eschaton, one cannot help but reflect on the irony of eagerly anticipating the end of the week to immerse oneself in a song that contemplates eternity. MGMT and Christine and the Queens have not merely created a soundtrack for the weekend; they have bestowed upon us a sonic elixir, capable of invoking a collective yearning for a love that is both a whisper and a scream, echoing across the Babylonian night sky.
Chatgpt is crazy
@@Xplorer228 no u
Damn I love these guys so dang much
I love you Christine and the Queens ❤
Nicola Sirkis is now in MGMT this is sickkkk
omg i knew someone else would notice this
I'm so glad to see John Cameron Mitchell in the video of my favorite band
I love that real life couple Julian and Adam are in this. They are so adorable in this. Plus Christine joining in this with their stellar moves makes me love this music video even more!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
It's like an old forgotten song from the 80's, I like it even if it's different from other MGMT songs
THE BEST BAND IS BACK
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😱 ❤ thank you for being true in this era! 🤗
This song will be playing in 30 years as a classic.
i love mgmt
I Love u MGMt from GDL, Mex 🇲🇽❤
Chris and John Cameron Mitchell complement each other so nicely here. It's lovely to watch.
Oh yes ! This is fire just like a expected to be from this guys !
ANOTHER ONE FOR THE QUEERS 🎉
Certified to 80’s authenticity, love the collab.
These guys have been making music for the last 15 years, and I only just discovered them a few months ago, I’m so sad 😭
im so happy for us
I heard this song when it premiered before this video came out and WOW. The video really embraces the message of the song and makes it that much more powerful. Wonderful work! I’m so excited for this album ❤
Really great song and Landon and Julian are just the cutest thing ever🙈
Let's gooooo MGMT 🎉
Time After Time
La collab improbable! Je n’aime pas Chris and the queen ! J’adore MGMT! Mais pourtant le duo je le trouve incroyable! J’aime j’aime j’aime ! Merci pour cette belle collaboration!
Chris is a phenomenal and gifted artist something we haven't seen in a long time
As a certified meathead I can honestly say these are two dudes that I would of made fun of in highschool and simultaneously be silently super jealous of.
Come sempre video particolarissimo, nella miglior tradizione MGMT.
La canzone è davvero bella, una garanzia di qualità ormai!
Incredibile voce e presenza scenica quella di Cristine and the Queens, ottima collaborazione.
Grazie per tutto quello che fate, siete spettacolari! ❤
This is a HIT 🎉
What a beautiful harmony of voices, pure angelic! And always evolving instrumental, almost a kin to Oneohtrix Point Never. You guys always keep producing some of the best music around!
MGMT saved my f***ing life 🙏🏻❤️
That's all it took was some sound and words ?
@@nrtg6290.. you're unnecessarily mean.
No, they didn’t.
MGMT is back 🔥 yes sir
