love phoenix, but i've been wanting to know that piece playing in the background for AGES! i heard it in a museum gift shop in DC once upon a time and i've been trying to find it ever since and gave up. thank goodness some of you know it! i love it when that happens.
Understanding them perfectly well in the country that spawned your version of our language. From the UK with love Phoenix ^__^ You should be humbled that the rest of the world speaks your mother tongue, it requires no effort on your part other than patience and a brain that works
To the people who complained about their accent: They can speak English better than you can speak French, if you speak any at all. Or any other language.
I think he's saying orchestra. Thy wanted to use a lot of orchestra, and for some reason the sound of them being processed and manipulated sounded better than the real thing.
I liked the last word, too. "There's always something to remind you not to take it for granted."
The album is a masterpiece. Every song on the album is amazing.
absolutely agree
I don't know why, but I just love their music no matter how cryptic their lyrics may be.
he should sing the interview so i know what he is saying!

thomas
Oui oui
It's crazy how they sound so French when they speak but so English when they sing!
Hey ShuggieTodd thanks! I appreciate it
their drinks get slightly more full as the interview goes on! i'm probably paying too much attention... :P
Refined, intelligent, elegant people. Oh, how I love them. And oh come on! The accent isn't that bad. You Americans... ;)
what's the song played in the beginning of the video..?
i love that piano piece.. your help people of the world please!
Gymnopedie to Entertainment was COOL !!!
Anyone know the name of the piano song at the beggining of the clip? I cannot Shazam it... Thanks!
What's the name if that piano song in the start of the video???
It's by Eric Satie. It's called Gymna something or other. Can't remember and can't be bothered to Google!
Does anybody know the song at the start?
Thanks,
Erik Satie was my favourite part of this video. :)

its true. product art/design that has no artistic purpose (which it pretty much always does not) is so disheartening yet fascinating
Empire of the sun
Second that.
They could say "poop stinks" and it would sound beautiful.
That accent is cool.
I think he's saying orchestra. Thy wanted to use a lot of orchestra, and for some reason the sound of them being processed and manipulated sounded better than the real thing.
The french Art to speak english!!!!!!!!!
Phoenix, Daft Punk, MGMT
God. I love French people
if you don't know they're super stars, you really can't tell.
See below!
Erik Satie - Gymnopedie No. 1
am i the only one that thinks he looks like Paul Dano?
It's Erik Satie, Gymnopédie No. 1
I like Entertainment! The sort of asian flavor it has is a little out of place though. The album is growing on me. Borgeois is the best track I think.
They should just sing everything out when they talk...
Nope... he's saying that they wanted to use a lot of harpsichord.
Looks like you made him delete the entire thing :D
And they actually sing in English
lol
And english is your first language?
Harpsichord... not Orchestra
Fairly pedestrian release............too bad
Didnt understand shit they just said
