Their live shows are insane too- everyone in costumes, confetti cannons, dancing. People are dressed in the most fun and elaborate costumes imaginable, this video is only a hint at what you’ll see live
Kevin knows how to make happy/danceable music with lyrics full of anxiety & sadness. "Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?" has been playing nonstop through my iPod since it came out. It always makes me feel a bit good when I'm in a crisis & my mood don't want to be a friend.
The lyrics are freaking amazing for those of us with messed up moods. My own inner cosmology has become too dense to nagivate is some poetry. Loved this song when i first heard it a decade ago and it still speaks to me up to now.
I'm at a point in my life where I've been re-watching all the sbemails for the nostalgia, realising its one of my favourite things, and I just discovered of Montreal after their album came out this year and they're the best band I've heard for a while AND THEN I find this video and the two are somehow connected...woah
Wow, I used to LOVE this song when I was younger.....I completely forgot it existed. Brings back a lot of memories about an old friend. Thanks, UA-cam algorithm!
of montreal is probably the best thing that has ever happend to music since the beatles kevin barnes is the most original artist i know this song makes me always smile
Chemicals, don't flatten my mind. Chemicals, don't mess me up this time. Know you bait me way more than you should. And it's just like you to hurt me when I'm feeling good.
OMG. I can't even listen to this song without crying because I love The Barnes Brothers so much. Nobody treats fans better. Both David and Kevin are just extraordinary human beings that give their whole souls to art. I think they're aliens from another dimension sent to save us all through art
i love the fact that he doesn't do drugs when writing his music, i dont understand how you could make something like this and not be on acid or really really high on some nice hallucinogenic
Depression ticks me off! I want to make t-shirts with an angry fist that says "Down with depression!" EDIT: wow, I feel better after getting angry, lol!
Genuinely my favorite music video ever something about it strikes so many memories in me to something i cant pinpoint, i swear if this song was a person id know it personally
My friend absolutely loves this band. I've heard a few of their songs and I liked 'em, but this video/single has sold me. I'll definitely will be buying the new album.
This one is probably my favorite of all time. I think is it for it's ability to change my mood back to good again. Can't help but smile when I hear it.
Dustin Day I caught onto it yesterday lol when I was having a bad day with my mood... I have mental illness and I was like, hum it is taking about chemical imbalance... I have heard the song millions of times and never paid attention to that Haha thought it was about love and pheromones for a long while till I listened listened to it yesterday :b
This is wicked creative. Directors and musical acts should take serious note, after all this is the third millennium right. Lets take music and art to the next level.
I can't wait to see them in July...at the Hollywood Bowl...who else is going???? Let's go together...would love to meet some new fans...email me...fans of Of Montreal.
This video confirms that of Montreal is on acid. Nobody who is not tripping balls would make this video. EDIT: Apparently some people are taking this comment seriously. Don't. It's a common joke where I'm from. :)
Unfortunately, sarcasm is lost on the internet. I thought it was kind of obvious that it was a joke and that I clearly didn't actually believe it...? *shrug*
haha, this video was not what i expected with this music. but i guess i should have expected that from of montreal. the new album rocks, can't wait to see them live.
what's with the 3 star rating? theze guys are on the forefront of creativity.superlative! tell me another current band who comes close to this genius; the whole package as it were
first heard of montreal while on a train ride in europe. someone had them blaring through headphones so their friends could all hear. the song was a shin's cover, "know your onion!," which i recognized and then inquired as to who the band was. special moment for me that no one probably cares about, but if someone has that shins cover i'd really like to know.
They put on a great show. If you have a chance to see them...do it. I wasn't the biggest Of Montreal fan before but now I would go see them any time they are in town for sure.

The great thing about this video is that's it isn't much different from their actual live shows.
indeed I can confirm that
They know how to get the audience electrified in there shows
First song I've heard by them and I can totally relate to it.
I actually just assumed this video was filmed at a live show, lol. :)
Their live shows are amazing!!! You’re right.
Their live shows are insane too- everyone in costumes, confetti cannons, dancing. People are dressed in the most fun and elaborate costumes imaginable, this video is only a hint at what you’ll see live
This music video was made by the brother chaps I love what they make

iPod, ha ha
@@TheMickaelDpshhh
I was - and still am, in full agreement but when I read "ipod" and I immediately started asking myself how old is this comment
11 year old comment "ipod" 😂 love the internet
@@Red-fs1jwI thought it was a joke until I remembered that oh shit maybe the comment is just that old. Amazing 😂
Let's be real. This is the best video on UA-cam.
bbmcrae Truly an overlooked masterpiece of the dramatic arts and earwormory.
No. I love refrigerators is.
@@matmightstir1427 What!?
OK, I watched it. It is Legit.
Not really
The lyrics are freaking amazing for those of us with messed up moods. My own inner cosmology has become too dense to nagivate is some poetry. Loved this song when i first heard it a decade ago and it still speaks to me up to now.
so deep
i always heard it as “has become too dense to novocain” lol

SBEMAILS that took me back
Wow, I used to LOVE this song when I was younger.....I completely forgot it existed. Brings back a lot of memories about an old friend. Thanks, UA-cam algorithm!
Dear Strong Bad
How did you direct this with Boxing Gloves on?
of montreal is probably the best thing that has ever happend to music since the beatles
kevin barnes is the most original artist i know
this song makes me always smile
That was rude of that ghost to leave before the performance was over.
Of Montreal+The Brothers Chaps= Pure, unadulterated awesome.
my therapist suggested this to me
sick
You have a rad therapist!
your therapist is the shit
literally me if I were a therapist
maggie davis Little.Claudia bear bite hands smell.plastic Shelton fair.production......
Chemicals, don't flatten my mind.
Chemicals, don't mess me up this time.
Know you bait me way more than you should.
And it's just like you to hurt me when I'm feeling good.

The part where he catches the arrow is classic, first rate!
it is my favorite play about bears, lights, comets, and depression.
i love the fact that he doesn't do drugs when writing his music, i dont understand how you could make something like this and not be on acid or really really high on some nice hallucinogenic
how did I ever came this far from 4 th dimension video? soon i become one with universe
DE5TINY grizzly bear is a nyu roach.church of silver tiles na d 4030
DE5TINY that’s wild I started there too
same bruh
holy fuck same
that's where I started!!! wtf!!!!!
Perfect song for anyone with a chemical imbalance like myself :)
Depression ticks me off! I want to make t-shirts with an angry fist that says "Down with depression!"
EDIT: wow, I feel better after getting angry, lol!
Revisiting some old tunes in 2024 and holy shit this still rocks my world and what a freaking amazing video!
No other band ever needs to record another music video. This is the finest example EVER.
Directed by The Brothers Chaps!
Owwww, flashback from when I was obsessed with this album
Genuinely my favorite music video ever something about it strikes so many memories in me to something i cant pinpoint, i swear if this song was a person id know it personally
the fact that the creators of homestar runner made this music video makes sense
Are you kidding? Crazy funky music reduces the need for drugs. It helps create this zoned out state of relaxation and wild jumps of the imagination.
Kevin's expression as he catches the arrow never fails to crack me up.
I love it! Of Montreal has been going strong for 10 years.
this may be the oldest comment on UA-cam! Cheers.
it so funny how the ghost just walk out in the middle of the performance. it like "ugg im just soo offended im a ghost for christ sake" lol
My friend absolutely loves this band. I've heard a few of their songs and I liked 'em, but this video/single has sold me. I'll definitely will be buying the new album.
Wish I could be as beautiful as Kevin 😭
You all need to chill out and just listen to the music.
Yep this is DEFINITELY a Brothers Chap video
I can't stop listening to this song...I find it uplifting.
I KNEW IT :)
The Beatles never broke up! and released this song back in 1982...
I love this, and saw them live back in 2007 in Pt. Happy days...
Oh man, this deserves way more than three stars. It's so flipping amazing!! I love them!!
Been loving this forever
that makes so much sense. especially the hand-drawn bit.
fuuuuuuuck this is taking me way back to college. what a TUNE.
This one is probably my favorite of all time.
I think is it for it's ability to change my mood back to good again.
Can't help but smile when I hear it.
Absolutely fucking brilliant.
We miss you guys in Philadelphia!
And it's just like you to hurt me when I'm feeling good.....perfect
this is their best music video. kevin barnes really looks good in a white bodysuit and glitter
1:03 will haunt my nightmares.
Did anyone else know the Brothers Chaps produced this video?
The HR Wiki sent me here
These are just like the best lyrics talking to me right now.
I had no idea The Brothers Chap directed this.
I listen to this anytime I’m feeling un happy.
are those the cardboard buildings from Bjork's "Bachelorette" video?!
Anyone else remember when the live shows were just like this video? A production?
is this song about mental illness + medication
jessica s Yes it is and I'm glad you caught that. most people think that it's about drugs when it's really about chemical imbalance
Dustin Day I caught onto it yesterday lol when I was having a bad day with my mood... I have mental illness and I was like, hum it is taking about chemical imbalance... I have heard the song millions of times and never paid attention to that Haha thought it was about love and pheromones for a long while till I listened listened to it yesterday :b
No shit
Fantastic. Kevin Barnes, let's hear it for Kevin Barnes.
managed to get here from xkcdhatguy and I'm glad
I need that dude's outfit... I love the dance moves...
I want some of the chemicals he's using this seems like the trip of a lifetime imo tbh
it's depression
@@hawie and it truly is the trip of a lifetime in the worst way...
This is wicked creative. Directors and musical acts should take serious note, after all this is the third millennium right. Lets take music and art to the next level.
2:19 Did they pay you to screw that bear?
What tha *$%@ did your friend say to me??!!!
What the fuck did you say to me??
I can't wait to see them in July...at the Hollywood Bowl...who else is going???? Let's go together...would love to meet some new fans...email me...fans of Of Montreal.
I miss Dottie and Davy so much.
LOVE IT!!!! I must have watched it a 100 times by now over a period of three weeks and I'm still hooked!!!! I just LOVE IT!!!
Guys one of the homestar runner guys made this
Both Matt and Mike directed this.
I love the lyrics and the "I'm in a crisis..." part and then all of it is just really catchy and cute.
Kevin what is this
i think the music track is like this for a reason. gives it a indie vibe.
love the song
So refreshing after watching/listening to that stupid ass 'Different For Girls' vid
love love ..
the dark side of youtube
Gotta admit the music is guud stuff
this is good music period
Welcome to the dark side...we have cookies :)
This is best side
still the best side of yt
Of montreal ftw !! i like this band so much
I’m here from xkchatguy research. Anybody else?
ME OMG LMAOOOO
hi there
What now?
possibly the greatest music video ever. but thats what you would expect from the brothers chaps
Who else is here from researching xkcdhatguy??->
Phoebe Rose yes!
omg aHHAHA ME!!
Lmao me
idk who that is please help
They love David bowie!
They have a video of them covering starman, and its fantastic.
This video confirms that of Montreal is on acid.
Nobody who is not tripping balls would make this video.
EDIT: Apparently some people are taking this comment seriously. Don't. It's a common joke where I'm from. :)
why not? naturally creative ppl exist in the world haha
Surrealism =/= drugs
exactly :)
If Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa could make the music they did while sober, this would be easy for someone to make without drugs.
Unfortunately, sarcasm is lost on the internet. I thought it was kind of obvious that it was a joke and that I clearly didn't actually believe it...? *shrug*
That bear in the red suit had some hot moves.
wieredest mv ive ever seen
haha, this video was not what i expected with this music. but i guess i should have expected that from of montreal. the new album rocks, can't wait to see them live.
i want to absorb the gender from this video
Oh i love you kevin barns
Why all the occult symbols?
*****
A little curiosity is bad?
Knowing who directed the video, they did it to fuck with you
Why the why?
SmoothOperator
Why of Montreal?
What occult symbols?
what's with the 3 star rating? theze guys are on the forefront of creativity.superlative! tell me another current band who comes close to this genius; the whole package as it were
saw them last night. It was to crazy for words
the best song ever!
This video is like Michel Gondry without ideas on a lazy day.
While the tune is strangely pleasant. 80s-retro-pop with an interesting bridge.
That is a play that I would definitely go to see
finally. i'm been waiting for a non-animated video.
Of Montreal is one of the greatest band on earth !! Half the people here dont know who of montreal is and no, they're neither Canadians nor gay.
they are blowing up all of a sudden.
first heard of montreal while on a train ride in europe. someone had them blaring through headphones so their friends could all hear. the song was a shin's cover, "know your onion!," which i recognized and then inquired as to who the band was. special moment for me that no one probably cares about, but if someone has that shins cover i'd really like to know.
I love Of Montreal ... awesome band!!
Great song
total 80's awesomness!!!!
This is absurd. I love it!
They put on a great show. If you have a chance to see them...do it. I wasn't the biggest Of Montreal fan before but now I would go see them any time they are in town for sure.
Great song great band
Of Montreal rocks
this song is awsome.
i love kevin barnes
Aaaahhh!! The lyrics!
i have no idea what this song or this video means. but i absolutely love it.
I rocked this album so hard when it came out. I was 16 for reference 😅
