This is one of my all time favourite songs. I was OBSESSED with it about 2 years ago and had it on repeat all day every day. One of my best friends passed away in 2012 and since then this song has had a lot of negativity attached to it because it reminded me of an awful time in my life. I haven't listened to it since. My eyes are filled with tears right now and from now on I am going to attach beautiful memories of her to it instead of the sad memories.
I've had songs like that, where they remind or reminded me of bad memories. Such as when I first heard DaftPunk, my girlfriend shared them with me while she was away in France for 3 months, or when my Mom died there were a lot of songs that had to do with death or loving someone that is far away, which were ruined for me for a long time.
How is there not way more love for this absolute classic! 5M views and comments from 8yrs ago?? Shame on us all! 2022 and listen to this whenever I need some good pre-game vibes!
Current favourite band. Really liked Lemon To a Knife Fight for a long time, then started digging. So much fun, such awesome lyrics and beautiful compositions. Thank you, Wombats! 🎼🎶🎵🎤💜
I was watching the episode: "Closing Time" a Doctor Who episode and I heard it in the store The Doctor and Craig were in and I Shazamed and I was not disappointed! This music is absolutely amazing!
Been a fan since 'joy division' kinda forgot about them over their years and just bought 'this modern glitch' and this song was such a nice surprise. I normally take a couple of listens before I like a song but this, Tokyo and last night I dreamt had me straight away! Aaaah these guys are so underrated! Must get their latest!
+the stripey studio yeah I only got back into this band last year , have been a fan since forever a when kill the director came out in 2008. it's nice that they are still making good music, some may say their sound has changed slightly but they are still great.
This band is concretely going on with electronic tendencies and their style is easy to get used to. I don't know why they keep occupying a loew position even though they foresee a continuation in the small venues, where the distance between the band and the audience is minimal and subtle, the intimate venues arouse a blast of energy and that's why when you want to be appreciated and loved you have to dare facing with a restricted audience. The deserving fans belong to a new concept of music, there's no boundary between a musician and his crowd when he demonstrates to be heartfelt. I love this band.
Yes! Saw them tonight and they were insanely brilliant (at quite an intimate venue)! Their energy was the best I've seen for performers, they were having a blast on stage, and all of us fans seemed so connected to them and each other. Unforgettable experience.
I'm 13 and discovered The Wombats when I was 11, have been to 2 gigs, have 3 albums and have f*cking loved this band so much. Their music is also helping a friend through a tough time. So bloody brilliant.
This is my favorite song on the planet. I still remember where I was and who I was with- my friend made me listen to Walking Disasters and it was really good. The second song I listened to was Techno Fan and I was hooked. The Bats provided me the most glorious soundtrack to my depressing teenage years and continue to enhance my life with each album. Wombats forever! xx
I used to listen to the wombats a lot when I was younger but I kinda forgot about them and then I saw that video of mick jagger dancing to this song and I was like. Omg the wombats! I remember listening to this song. One of my faves. Along with Tokyo and Jump into the fog
The best way to judge a band is by seeing them live, The Wombats blew me away and listening to studio version after a live gig just don't have the same impact at all. Basically they are so good live that you feel disappointed by anything else afterwards.
there isnt enough bands like this anymore, iv heard of the wombats before but this tune i heard on the advert, im glad iv found it because its such a good song!!
when they were in Norway, Me and my friends came 6 hours before the concert starts, and we got to meet them and they asked us if we wanted to play football with them :D they are so nice!
I am from the same country and the same smalltown as Tord, and I just have to say that he really is an inspiration. If someone from this little town can make it that big, that means everyone has a chance!
This is a great song, like many of their songs it's got a happy music video and a happy sound but the signer just doesn't fit in, you can see from his face that he feels sad and out of place and the lyrics show this as well. I love the delivery of 'or, or let go of my hand' because the repetition of the 'or' reminds me of what little kids do when they are trying to think of a threat so they can get tehir way but they know they have no power. I think this was on purpose. Awesome song.

the KFC ad that uses this song implies just how crazy a wombats concert gets when Techno Fan starts playing

no one had to know
I hope you have a great day love. Remember her. And smile xxx
F
6 years later- I hope you're doing good now man
Lead singer knows how to write. You can hear it in the transitions.
Murphy a genius
Love that line, " I'm talking like a city boy, and drinking with a northern soul "
I love how their music, like can never bring your mood down. Their music, is undescribable
That is how I'd describe it, impossible to describe! My best attempt is a teal coloured drink and ice on the beach
Love them.
Love love LOVE them
My favourite song of all time, the wombats are so under-rated
Still true
Definitely buddy!
I am literally in love with the wombats
This song is burnt into my memory, heard it every day for over a year when I worked in topshop. They never changed the playlist
How is there not way more love for this absolute classic! 5M views and comments from 8yrs ago?? Shame on us all! 2022 and listen to this whenever I need some good pre-game vibes!
Mortal Wombat

I too heard this song on the Easy Jet advert,havn't stopped listening to it!!!! Awsome track.
Current favourite band. Really liked Lemon To a Knife Fight for a long time, then started digging. So much fun, such awesome lyrics and beautiful compositions. Thank you, Wombats! 🎼🎶🎵🎤💜

I love the 80s vibe with the synthesizers and such, coupled with modern brit rock sound. Mmmm... lovely...

You in perth by any chance?

No-one realises how genius guys these are with their lyrics and their music
Absolute tune. Simple
This was the first song I listened from you guys. Now I’m a wombat fan
Man I just love the music, no thumbing up, no arguing, just lovely lovely music, lovely.
This is my favourite Wombats song

I got to see them a year or two ago for a dollar :) along with the royal concept and morning parade
Best show ever.
Lucky
Wtfffff luckyyyyyyyyyy

My schools band absolutely smashed this song
In a good way or....
Good way
+Manmoog E is there a video of them performing?
Im afraid not :(
Lucky audience. That band has some good taste
I thrived off this type of music. How did it take me 13 years to find this?
Same. I’m grateful everyday that I discovered them lol.
I love the lyrics where he says, "drinking with a northern soul"
It's seriously been 2 years since I fell in love with this track/album? Well, who cares. I still come back here to play it again, over and over. :D
Goosebumps. Every. time.
One of the best The Wombats songs!!
I'm crying, screaming and throwing up at all the Techno fans in the comments 💀
The best way to judge a band is by seeing them live, The Wombats blew me away and listening to studio version after a live gig just don't have the same impact at all. Basically they are so good live that you feel disappointed by anything else afterwards.
best wombats song
Not matter what genre of music you are into i dont think anyone can knock this. Top track!
I NEVEE KNEW I WAS A TECHNO FAAAAAAAN
I’m just discovering the Wombats this was the song that introduced me to them. Loving it!
Bought tickets for their show at the Echo Arena in September, buzzing already😄🙌
its amazing what one add can change your life to!!!
Murphs smile is adorable at the end ^_^
Favourite sound from a guitar! Especially from that type, Telecaster I think?
Reading 2016, best band ❤
saw these guys supporting red hot chilli peppers in knebworth on satuday....best concert ever...keep it up lads
Just discovered the wombats about a month ago my life has forever changed!
My all-time favourite song right here. And at the end when he cracks a smile is so adorable each time I watch it.
Thanks to this song I finally realized I was a techno fan I used to think I was a manual hand fan.
so is this techno?
omg sooo im jsut discovering that the wombats sing EVERY SONG THAT IVE EVER LIKED!!!!!!!!
oh fuck how did they find out about technoblade before he started a channel
please this is exactly why im here i just wanted to find some technoblade fans in the comments and ive done it
Samee I am trying to find Techno fans too haha
You're so right, I don't see this guy smile often.
It's so strange to think that I saw them live and that those people in the video are the ones I saw standing on the stage
there isnt enough bands like this anymore, iv heard of the wombats before but this tune i heard on the advert, im glad iv found it because its such a good song!!
so B U Z Z E D to see them in April. Thumbs up for O2 Brixton! :) ;)
This slaps! Banger
when they were in Norway, Me and my friends came 6 hours before the concert starts, and we got to meet them and they asked us if we wanted to play football with them :D
they are so nice!
That's so cool
And so we are sitting here in Norway, waiting for a concert.
I didn't notice the smile at the end before today, my god.
I can't be the only one that loves this played at 1.25x speed
+Hazza PC You're not. It sounds great!
+Hazza PC Shutupandmovewithmemovewithme xD
omg
the only thing terrible about this is that it makes the song end earlier
otherwise, this is absolutely amazing! :'D
You just blew my mind. Awesome.
Hey not bad hahaha
I never knew I was a Wombat fan (well I did when I first heard this and then from then on).
Technoblade passed away and it's almost a month after his passing, I dedicate this song to the Legendary Pig God👑 ❤️
sadge
No
So do i , we lost a legend , i will agree with you and this song should be dedicated to the one and only pig god ✨
TECHNOBLADE ✨
👑
🐷
Was at their gig at delamere forest last sunday... was fab and this song is epic live
I thought by not listening to this for a while would stop it from being stuck in my head...
I thought wrong
i make a point of singing this song really loudly in peoples faces to teach them the wonders of the wombats
*Same, I am a Techno Blade fan as well!*
There worth obsessing over!
He rocks those red techno nerd glasses
I saw & met them all last night. Everyone needs to see them in concert immediately, they are the nicest guys ever & they are fucking amazing live.
the blade.
Love that these guys haven't surrendered to VEVO or any other other typical things you see after band names on youtube channels!
"Or get out of my face~"
Deer guy: I think he wants me to get in his face.
Magnifique !!!! Trop Excellent =p Du coup j'adore lorsque la pub d'EasyJet passe à la TV
Man i found out about them through a crush i had when i was 13 and ive loved there music/this band since then
got back from seeing them in bolton, they're amazing! the torch is ours for now!
Techno the blade
I am from the same country and the same smalltown as Tord, and I just have to say that he really is an inspiration. If someone from this little town can make it that big, that means everyone has a chance!
If God had an iPod, this would be on it.
tr00
God maybe had an android phone lol :P
It's possible!
autumnalroses"iGod"
Then you mean yourself :)
@TheWOMBATS coming to see you tomoro! soooo excited! you guys are brill! :D
Hazza PC "Play it a 1.25x speed."
Well that was.... amazing.
Murphy, your smile at the end brightened my soul
looks like JJ Abrams directed this video

BillyPilgrim those lense flares doe
+BillyPilgrim im blind
Calm down mate. Video is sent that good.
Alfie Gamer What?
I love this song so much!!!

Didn’t know i was a rolling shutter effect fan.
I never knew I was a Wombats fan!
Hits different now since June 30th❤🐷👑
Always drink with a Northern soul. Class.
Who's still listening in 2024 😊❤❤❤
Saw them tonight at big gig! This was the best song of the night!
I never knew I was a Techno Fan...
Wow! why is this the 1st time I've heard this song. Such feel good music to dance to.

I found this by using Shazam on EasyJet's advert. Never heard of The Wombats before but this is very good.
I too am a technoblade fan
It be like that
Like

With the glasses on he almost looks happy.
