I can already see that this video will be watched for some 50 years, and everyone will be saying how this was a real and true music, next to the doors, led zeppelin, pink floyd etc. this band is going to be alive FOREVER!
It's their song, they can play it however they want to and personaly, I think it's great that it's different versions of a song that we all love to begin with.
once i got to see them live and you can really really see how they feel their music, they are not just those regular guys that do playback and stick to their records. i think these are real muscians. thumbs up

This is a fantastic intro, I have not seen an Ocarina pulled out at a live show like... EVER. If there are two things I super fking love it's Ocarinas and Banjos.
@ilovemgmt23 I like it alot makes the whole song better because it kind of builds up to what everybody wants to here. That's why live music is better than studio music the whole act of improvisation and in the moment thinking is so much more impressive than something having to be processed and mixed and everything like that.
Esta canción, esta versión fue la primera que escuche de mgmt, de hecho, fue este video!! :D de no haber sido asi no hubiera profundizado en ellos. El intro compró a todos mis sentidos!
its much better to hear them on live, and realize some differences between track and live performance. It means that they are playing and experiencing with their own music. Then it means that their do not use playback. This is the majority. They are true on the scene and they have a lot of fun. Great job boys.
his voice is so awesome. I'm guessing that a lot of the people leaving comments don't really like jam bands..... They go to MGMT shows expecting some crazy electronica show along the lines of Daft Punk or something and are disappointed when it resembles something more like Built to Spill where they're just rocking out together, without a giant metal pyramid. I thought this is great.
i really love the way they build it up with the intro/ background gearing in the beginning. you can already tell what song they are gonna play because of the jungle-ey feel. and if i was to guess ( if i didn't know the right answer) i would say that this song is about his guitar. the way it feels electric? i just thought that was a cool connnection to make. but yes, we all know its about drugs, Andrew said it himself on the David Letterman show
@mrhacksit YES I HAVE UP THE IRONS!! however they are different Mgmt is like a double-rainbow , relaxing and surreal while Iron Maiden is like a thunder storm, energizing, strong and ass-kicking
Push the button to "Show More", and you'll see the answer to the "what's the drummer playing" question. It is an ocarina. It's definitely the oldest instrument being played. Funny how it gives the pop twist to the song, when the synthesizer duplicates it!
these guys are cool but they're WORLDS behind The Mars Volta as far as psychedelic mastery and overall experimental godliness!!! still, MUCH love for MGMT!
What is the name of the whistle/flute sounding instrument the drummer plays in the beginning sounds sick like a old western movie. If anyone knows the name for it let me know

True, ten years later it is still valid.
damn right!
"she gonna teach me how to swim" for some reason i smile everytime i hear that:)
MGMT should go on tour with Portugal. The Man!
the beginning sounds so trippy.
i love them :))
Just as good 12 yrs later

loved the intro, this song continues to amaze me everytime i hear it
This is the best version of this song live i think. i like the mood and andrews voice ;)
beautiful and mesmerizing, truly one of the most amazing new bands I'd have to say
once i got to see them live and you can really really see how they feel their music, they are not just those regular guys that do playback and stick to their records. i think these are real muscians. thumbs up
Thank god for this kind of music . Simply amazing.

Great Live Performance. Love this song.
I FUCKING LOVE THEM, thanks for your music MGMT !!!!!!
12 years later and still amazing
I like this rough version too, it reminds me the way the old rockers were used to play...that dirty sound!
This is a fantastic intro, I have not seen an Ocarina pulled out at a live show like... EVER. If there are two things I super fking love it's Ocarinas and Banjos.

His voice -3
the only concerts i go to are electronic and the shows are always beyond awesome! open yo' mind fool!
OMG i love the slow intro. Im so excited im seeing them tomorrow!
Love their music and style :)
solid performance (great comment)
great cut. one for the ages. you rock hotbali
They are to some extent. 'Pop music' isn't a negative term. In my opinion "Time To Pretend" is one of the best pop singles ever
If this isn't bringing the 70's back - nothing is.
Wow... I love the album, and this is my first exposure to them, i really like it! Good bassist too.

Love this song!
'nd it's actually one of few songs I enjoy SO much more when I hear it performed live.
LOVE this song.
MGMT is amazingggg.
much better than i thought!
great live show: )
pink floyd is really up there on my favorites list, but they do not come to mind when i hear electric feel.
this song single handedly inspired me to play the bass
Seeing them at Sasquatch music fest May 31 along with Ween!!! Can't wait!

i love this more than life.

@mrhacksit YES I HAVE UP THE IRONS!! however they are different Mgmt is like a double-rainbow , relaxing and surreal while Iron Maiden is like a thunder storm, energizing, strong and ass-kicking
They were channeling their inner The Mars Volta in the intro.
Man, your statement is so funny :D

LMAO THE DRUMER IN THE START
Andrew is godly.
i don't need the OP's opinion on the song in the title

INSANE
nice pink floydish intro!
these guys are cool but they're WORLDS behind The Mars Volta as far as psychedelic mastery and overall experimental godliness!!! still, MUCH love for MGMT!
This is the power of LSD
