Haha no tokalosie is an urban myth about a short guy (think leprechaun) that will steal you if you sleep too close to the ground and is often referenced to people who steal.
They had no choice. Americans are so offended about the F-Word. But nuking peoples with giant bombs and showing it on primetime is ok... What's wrong??.....
Did anyone else kinda feel bad for them at the end when Letterman spoke? It was kind of a rude remark and Die Antwoord looked embarrassed. They did good.
They were there to impress him, not the other way around. Letterman never took any shit. He was just poking fun at 'em anyways, and the smiles on their faces looked like they knew that, too.
You do know that Die Antwoord is supposed to be comical, right? When they started this whole thing it was originally a joke but since people actually started to enjoy the whole Die Antwoord thing they decided to go along with it. Yolandi and Ninja aren't really "bad ass" they've been performing this kind of characters for so long that people actually forgot they're originally comedians. They're basically the "Da Ali G" of South Africa.
you know that you have made this up right, ninja has been rapping for years and he formed die antwoord in 2008 . you are wrong on the comedian thing dude .
Letterman loves this kinda of different stuff, really. It's the ordinary stuff/people/acts he makes real fun of. That Superbowl reference was spot on pure Letterman humor & was complementary.
Saw this on TV the night it aired... this was my first exposure to Die Antwoord. And I'll be honest, I wasn't sure if this performance was some kind of joke, or if they were serious lol. I was so intrigued that I went and found the music video for this song and have been a fan ever since! LOVE YoLandi's voice!
Letterman and his audience were so rude and snarky. I felt bad for Yolandi when they laughed at the end. :( Jerks. I love their stage presence and she looked amazing as always.
Randgaard Stewart I didn't say he said anything offensive. It was his demeanor and they laughed immediately after the performance was done BEFORE Letterman even said anything. Honestly, go argue with yourself in the mirror or go actually watch the video. You're too dense to waste my time with.
Laurie Bell You're the only one getting upset here over a differing opinion. You clearly have sensitivity issues and your viewpoint isn't well explained at all. They laughed because Yolandi whispered the end of the song. She even kind of smiled when that happened. Clearly you're the dense one when you resort to name calling when it's just you being over sensitive while viewing the video, trying to create an issue where there is none. His demeanor was imagined and all in your head. You can't even name what was wrong with his demeanor. You just give a lazy "its his demeanor" then you get upset after that because you know you're wrong. Go take some Lexapro. I watched it several times to see if there was anything wrong or offensive about this and there was nothing. At worst, they weren't completely comfortable there. The half time comment is not a negative one. Point out what is wrong without YOU assuming something.
I love that David Letterman and Conan O' Brian have the balls to invite less mainstream acts (at the time) like Die Antwoord, Slipknot, Lamb of God and others.
loveroseluv The reason she isn't really looking around and stuff and why she doesn't jump around with this is it blocks her from being able to see. Black out contacts also kinda hurt depending on which ones she uses.
I can’t believe they were on Letterman. Open minded of him. They had so much potential. Truly unique and brilliant. I’ve heard some awful things about them, not sure what’s true or false but I can’t listen to them anymore.
He didn’t find or book them, they put people in charge of finding guests. Ultimately letterman has the final say but they really aren’t too involved. They trust the people they hire to do it.
@@hadrianswall3902 These people came out with proof. Wasn't just words. Zheani and their own adopted kids spoke out. Zheani has fame and money. So them having money isn't the issue. She's got the receipts and tea.
oh my goodness they sound so adorable when they've censored themselves! I never thought I'd use that word to describe any of their performances. Of course I must say I prefer the full Die Antwoord, I just think they were out of their usual space here. I hope they never get put in such an uncomfortable situation again. Uncensored and on a proper stage of course is far greater. I was blessed to have the opportunity to see the real Die Antwoord and I think their shows are glorious.
I know we’re all Die Antwoord fans, but imagine you are from California, and you’re on a vacation to NYC to see David Letterman. You’re in the audience to see Dave, but then this band pops up! Wow!!! I’ll bet there was several brains that got blown that night!
I would LOVE to see just the audience for the entire performance. I don’t think I’ve ever heard them laugh (albeit a nervous laugh) after a musical act before.
😂 I thought of this too, I love Die Antwoord, been a fan for probably a decade now! Their music beats and Yolandi is adorable!! But I would really LOVE to see the audience reaction. 😅😂
I think it has to do with being insecure like feeling like you will be looked at weird for liking that type of music that is different from what is normally listened to in are surroundings or better off said in our country... I fux wit it tho but normally with some earphones blasted hi lol that way I could jam to it with out absorbing anyone's negative energy
Anytime someone ask me my favorite song I tell them this one. I have had a couple people ask me later wtf is wrong with me. This is the best song ever.
Black magic rituals? Lol.... was there a court case? I couldn't find any info from a legitimate source on this subject. I read that the lead singer was blacklisted for making anti-homosexual slurs, and that a woman accused him of fondling her while they were drunk. I had a coworker whose young daughter had made those same accusations against him, and now he has full custody of the daughter because it turned out that the mother was the one who had put the daughter up to make the story for financial reasons. Just saying....
Yup yup, the song level is so good, but the presentation so so cringe. It's like this would of been made for a cheap I mean really cheap b comedy movie, but the song is still really good.
Letterman had music guests at the end of a lot of shows. People you would not normally hear from. Definitely can tell it's not his kind of music but he gave many artists a chance to be heard by a HUGE worldwide audience.
haha weirdness is one of DA's main assets. They know it and they knew they were catching Letterman and his audience off guard, specially when they did this performance at this stage in their career when they were not nearly as known as they are now. Letterman, being a comedian, wouldn't be doing his job if he hadn't made a remark about what the fuck everyone just witnessed, and he did it without being disrespectful.
Not sure why this was recommended to me, but sure glad it did. Like 'em or not, you can't help but watch and stare at the whole performance! They're the "Freaky" ones and I like 'em a lot! 👹😈
***** Maybe. IDK, my physics teacher played "I Fink U Freeky" in class one day and every one hated it. They're not as popular as Taylor Swift of Katy Perry if you look at Facebook, Twitter followers and UA-cam subscribers. But they're famous. I'm not entirely sure what for.
Letterman a "Shadow" in comparison ? No Comparison, Letterman 30 year career will out shadow Die Antwoord for sure, guaranteed ! I like Both so I must be Krasy. BTW, You don't get it, 1st Complement was having them on the show, 2nd was the Half Time comment. If you watch Letterman much you would understand that he & the show have a warped since of humor that most don't understand at first glance.
@@strider5119 sorry.. prob not the most respectful way of saying it, but i don't like it, at all.. so, i agree w/ the audience.. it felt like a joke.. it felt like a horror house on Halloween.. shock factor? absolutely.. but, actually take seriously? not so much.
I don't believe they are gangsta as they let on but their music has serious attitude and it's fun. The attitude, mixing different types of music and video is why I like them. The film industry has been mixing different genres for a long time. I think they are just applying the same principles.
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet...but your kids are gonna love it."
Good work!
Bruh! Good call
Was that Calvin Klein or Beetlejuice from the Stern show that uttered those iconic words?
@@shatner99 ur kidding right ?
It's from the movie Back to the Future goofy
@@scootergrammy727 lol Marty said his name was Calvin Klein(on his underware) in BTTF so I think you got wooshed
it is so WEIRD to hear them without the cursing...
2:12 Ninja substituted the word Tokoloshe (a mythological monster from South African folklore) for “MF’er”. Very clever!!!
They are cursing, just not in English
So weird hearing it censored like this...
Banned Knowledge I think tockalossi still means motherfucker 😂😂😂😂
Haha no tokalosie is an urban myth about a short guy (think leprechaun) that will steal you if you sleep too close to the ground and is often referenced to people who steal.

Banned, minute and second??
Respect to the Letterman Show for spanning a huge varity of artists.
altho they were laughing at them thats very sad
@@l.v1473 It's the wrong crowd to be honest. Yet who knows who might get steered onto them due to the exposure of the show. All good 🙂
Thank god art is subjective. Because this is garbage.
AHAHAHA ITS SO FUNNY WHEN NINJA CENSORED HIMSELF
They had no choice. Americans are so offended about the F-Word.
But nuking peoples with giant bombs and showing it on primetime is ok...
What's wrong??.....
Sell out!
why did you just censor yourself?
I want to like your comment, but if I do you ll have 421 likes...

I really enjoy the artistic freedom and 'don't give a fuck' attitude they portray. They are very genuine no matter their audience. I respect that.
Its ok not to give a fuck when it matters they're just arrogantly that way....can't respect that
Lmao. Yet they censored themselves hard here
The censored themselfs here to be on amarican tv😑
Anyone could come up with these lyrics haha
And fuck that rapist Ninja! Quit glorifying him!
Tokkie
Love them or hate them, these guys are talented in a really interesting way. Their talent obviously extends past music if you know their history.
Except they are total scumbags. Horrible people.
I would love to box out that douche Ninja for raping other women and child abuse. Team Eminem haha
This just sounds like garbage dude
They may be talented but them grooming a girl doesn't justify anything.
What's they history?

I fail to see how anyone was rude and snarky.

They laughed at the end (barely clapped) and Letterman didn't hide his amusement and disregard for them.
Laurie Bell Well cause they thought what Letterman said was funny. Didn't really see the offensive part in what he said.

3:49 look at Ninja's face to Yolandi, they were uncomfortable af, obviously Letterman was not the place, I feel bad for my babies :(
Well, Letterman is only for old people and pretentious hipsters. They just want some mainstream shit, just like the host.
die antwoord IS mainstream shit you silly dingus
Great performance! Yolandi looks beautiful here,her dress is so cute,and her black contacts are just so cool!
So, you think looking like someone fell into a wood chipper is beautiful? Ok🤨

I can't describe how much I hate their music, but at the same time I love to listen to them. It's so strange and hypnotizing.
Same feeling
Nah, not me. Ninja is a child abuser and a rapist. Heard he hit Yolanda during rehearsal.
That’s Satan
Well.. boy I fink you freaky! 🤪

you can tell that letterman hates them
+Fintan Rawsthorne But he probably still wanted to fuck Yolandi!!!
+Dawn Sauvignon yeah ha 😅
well i mean Ninja clearly hates him too...
Letterman sucks!
I appreciate the effort put in this clean version
They fucking killed that, if you make Dave say "Oh shit, what the hell was that?" you know it's good.
I saw these guys live in 2014 @ a local festival. Was not disappointed
I don't know why but I love this video. Every now and then it'll disappear off UA-cam, and then pop back up again a few months latter.
These people sexually abused their adopted child and used his blood in black magic rituals.. So, again.. You love this video?

Very creative. Appreciate what they are doing

Wooooooow!!!! They are really awesome on live!
They really don't miss a beat, crazy flow

cutest voice ever!!
wtf? they take rap music to the next level!!!
Ninjas eye brows at the end! Lol. He's like "Money in the bank, I guess...."
Love there energy!
Yo looked so nervous but she still slayed like always. Also their censoring themselves was the greatest thing ever.
What an amazingly curated performance that was ;)
What a refreshing change. love it. Scotty UK

hell yeah!
In the moment they probably thought it was a bit shitty, at 3:46 look at ninjas face. But I bet, even the day after, they didnt care.
Totally love this!!!!
Thx for this video.would be a wicked group to see live. Thx again. Ho from lloydminster canada✌🇨🇦
Should be showing a little more respect Letterman. You are just a shadow compared to these guys.
Dan White not really. they're only popular in South Africa

My intro to Die Antwoord was seeing this. Freaky indeed!
