I met Erlend. he sang to me and my best friend in a empty bar, he sang the redemption song by bob marley. I didn't know who he was at the time.. when I found out I flipped out. was an amazing moment
Erlend once asked me if I could drive him somewhere, and that he would pay for it. I told him no, didn't want to leave my buddies. "Ok, I still like you," he replied.
I feel so old by looking at all the comments that most of people here started to listen to this song recently ... when I was first introduced with this duo, I was 16 and now I'm 28yr old. Time flies!!!!
Just thought of that. Their first album, I listened to every day in the army when we finally got to go to sleep. I was 19, now I am 34. Holy balls, time flies.
This clip means so much to me. I'm a dance teacher and I always preach that my students should have fun, I'm not a teacher of professional dancers. my classes are totally focused on fun. Thank you for this beautiful song.
i love it that you make it fun for the kids, no matter what age they be, cuz inside the real you and the real me, we're always young at heart, Flavia Fit.
About once a year I find this song, listen to it 15 times in a row, then let it go for another year.... practicing these wicked dance moves all year long.
IKR? Erlend has such a charm about him especially in this video. I think they're both really attractive. (Also Eirik's smile at the end kills me every time.)
I remember I got slapped in the face when I was 8 because I told a girl in my class that looked like the dancing guy from King of Convenience.....it was a compliment
i have been searching this song and music video for years and i have found it randomly... It suddenly appeared on the UA-cam home page by itself. i am so happy now.
i just love the entire story of the music video. like he gets kicked out for doing things differently and being himself and then grows up to be a rad dance teacher. and i love how proud of his class he is at the end. :') so sweet.
Hearing this song during a concert where they played (Medellin, Colombia) and then called the audience to dance on stage was just epic. First time hearing the band live and they did not disappoint.
You should check out "Fireworks" and "Burning" by The Whitest Boy Alive. Same singer, similar vibe. He also did a folk circle with a bunch of other notable artists you can check out here ua-cam.com/video/-OgO146Ivck/v-deo.html if you're interested. Great stuff.
I remember an alternative rock station played this at like 1am in 2008 or something. Needless to say I fell in love with all their stuff. Thank goodness I went to a bar that night or I might have missed it.
This is never getting old. I cry of joy here! And I can not help pointing out the semifact that they use a word that is hardly ever used in popmusic. I only know this one song that uses the word "misinterpretation", a very hard word to rhyme, and they make it work perfectly!
I'd rather dance with you than talk with you So why don't we just move into the other room There's space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune Even if I could hear what you said I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear Because I haven't read a single book all year And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd Increases the chance of misinterpretation So let your hips do the talking I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...
I always loved this song ...rhythm but lyircs too... I was always little bit of shy when showing my feeling towards girls but always felt more secure on dance floor , more relaxed to show my emotions...so "I rather dance than talk to you" is something I can relate
I honestly hardly ever find music I fall in love with these days. It’s only a special few that get added to my playlist list line up, & Kings of Convenience have just made it. This song has the right amount of bop it makes me so happy and inspired ❤🎵❤
You should report that teacher, he/she was trying to get you to dance with him/her when you were 14 years old. God bless you you're alive. That was close.
Fun story. I began quarantine last year with a Norwegian girl who had come to Argentina. She showed me this band one morning as we were making breakfast. She went back to Norway and now I get sad listening to this.
You can see Eirik's wife sitting with the crowd next to a guy who she talks to, she's smiling, minute 3:13. She actually appears in the cover of two of their albums and also in the Toxic Girl videoclip. And yep, they're still together and have two kids.
Indie music is like everything in life. You want to chase your dream but your too comfortable in the moment even if its close to your grasp. music wise people are so comfortable listening to drake and mumble rap without pushing the effort to find good music.
Watch the video by them called Toxic Girl. She may or may not be with one of them in real life but I think her cameo in this video was a play on the theme of that song.
Still some of the best string quartet arranging ever! Fantastic musicians all around. Listen to this weekly almost a decade later. Thanks for the great tunes :)
My uncle gave me a mp3 Player for my 13th birthday and put this song on it. I really liked it ever since. This is the first time I saw the music video and it's so wholesome.
I thought this was a new music video until i saw the quality was 360p and i was like wait a minute. I think either these guys were ahead of their time or the same things are trending again
I met Erlend. he sang to me and my best friend in a empty bar, he sang the redemption song by bob marley. I didn't know who he was at the time.. when I found out I flipped out. was an amazing moment
cooooooooooool
holy shit
Erlend once asked me if I could drive him somewhere, and that he would pay for it. I told him no, didn't want to leave my buddies. "Ok, I still like you," he replied.
Where did these happen?!
wont tell
i got this randomly recommended to me 14 years after release
same
Thank the algorithm and enjoy! koc is awesome
Same!
the internet has no age. Does it bother you? Once you get older, everything looks new. I only know it's old because you brought it up.
Lol same
I feel so old by looking at all the comments that most of people here started to listen to this song recently ... when I was first introduced with this duo, I was 16 and now I'm 28yr old. Time flies!!!!
해쭈 사랑해 ~
I agreeeee
I just found them because of the new song they dropped recently. Theyre so good though!
Just thought of that. Their first album, I listened to every day in the army when we finally got to go to sleep. I was 19, now I am 34.
Holy balls, time flies.
@@niigu What should I say? I was 36 back then... 😀 By the way: time doesn't exist or «Time is what you read on your watch» [Albert Einstein]
I had no idea that Sherlock and Frodo could sing like this.
lol I actually thought it was Frodo until i looked really closely. I'm here like, "He actually sings??"
martin freeman es el abuelo de frodo en la pelicula de el hobbit la ultima que salio.
pero creo que tienes una loca vision de ellos en esta cancion.

So I'll just leave this comment and hopefully someone that likes the comment can remind me in some time to come listen to this song again
omg it worked
Oi! Don’t forget the song is waiting for you!
There ya go 🙂
Responding :) just came across this cool bop of a song loving it
❤
Come listen

Great are ppl who bring education and knowledge
Great also are those who bring fun and joy, just like KoC & U
Yeah, but bybmy own mind with random thoughts
Their music is just so fresh even after 10 years. Never get tired of them
15 years actually
Same! I wish they had more songs and were still making recent stuff 😭 glad we got then gem tho
Much more time has passed, iirc the album this song comes from (Riot on an Empty Street), was released in 2004.
2:57 i'm ipnotized 🤩😂
Anyone else just randomly get recommended this 10 year old song?
Yup
Yeah kinda weird
Just now.
10 yo? Omg
yup but thank god it did
About once a year I find this song, listen to it 15 times in a row, then let it go for another year.... practicing these wicked dance moves all year long.
Terrah Erdman See you next year then! happy dancing!

These 2 are absolute legends and extremely underrated
Takes me back to younger days when 2000 was still new.
Yeah 9 years after 2000 someone get this guy a calendar.
@@dingusfillimsreal 😂🙄
Sam Hunter hahahaha because 2009 feels like 2000 u know and this song does not feel like it was 10yrs already
2020 and this is a new song for me😂
@@dingusfillimsreal The song's from 2004 actually
The geek with the glasses is so cute though omg I can't get over his attractiveness. He gets cuter each time I see this.
Yeah, I like him really much
IKR? Erlend has such a charm about him especially in this video. I think they're both really attractive. (Also Eirik's smile at the end kills me every time.)
I remember I got slapped in the face when I was 8 because I told a girl in my class that looked like the dancing guy from King of Convenience.....it was a compliment
😂😂
That's a big whoopsie on your part
Kek
Tone death
A girl that age knew who the Kings of Convenience were? Now that's a hipster school. I wanna join.
erlend oye should act in a wes anderson movie
agree
Yeah, in the starting scene he looked liked there tenenbaum kid
Lol I thought you said Paul Thomas Anderson - at first. Then I was like “Whoa he totally does look like Paul Dano.”
@@aparnarajeev333 Frisky hair, glasses, red tracksuit jacket...anyone can pull that off, really.

i have been searching this song and music video for years and i have found it randomly... It suddenly appeared on the UA-cam home page by itself. i am so happy now.
This song makes me feel infinite, seriously.
Yeah, dude! Haha
Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of the best movies i've ever seen.
Gustavo Neves yes, I get the perks of being a wallflower feeling from this song, glad I'm not the only one - it is beautiful
Gustavo Neves me also ❤️🙏
He could also be a young hipster Benedict Cumberbatch.
OMG YES I thought the exact same thing hahaah
haha true
YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT!
YES there are sherlockians here! xD
Thought it was just me! xD (sign of three? anyone?)
this song sounds like an indie that could've been released today and I love that
Huh completely different
i was thinking exactly the same, never gets old!
I will forever thank my finger for clicking on this video
In fact this video win ''best european video'' by mtv, this norway guys are awesomes
Young Rick you & me both friend!!
I hope girls too for using that finger! :D
@@alinevargasrodriguez8579 looks like the guy from the feeling
The fact you said that coment in 2017 and it is now 2024 is crazy
I'd love to dance with him.
lewmizeria. Hhahahhaah
This is a classic the whole world should know and love by heart ! 😍
Hey you might like The Doublejumps if you like King Of Convenience
i just love the entire story of the music video. like he gets kicked out for doing things differently and being himself and then grows up to be a rad dance teacher. and i love how proud of his class he is at the end. :') so sweet.
the amount of serotonin this gives me is astronomical
33 and I remember college years where we would go crazy when hearing this song 🎉 those innocent indie days 😢
For a second i thought: "oh, same as me". but i remembered instantly that i'm 35 😅
Hearing this song during a concert where they played (Medellin, Colombia) and then called the audience to dance on stage was just epic. First time hearing the band live and they did not disappoint.
Stereo picnic?
@@SoyGivanok nope,, it was a full concert of themselves
@@thomasgonzalez5488 when was it? 😭😭I missed that one

Medellin is great, was there in 1994&98

play this in morning, feel energized all day. This is such a beautiful song
Me right now. Good morning
Finding this song made my day
thank u for this song it really helps me (:
Yes, for remind someone

Had nooit verwacht dat je Kings of Convenience zou luisteren lol
WHY HAVE I NOT FOUND THESE PEOPLE BEFORE OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Madeleine Reed same
Who's here after watching Rocky Trails to see more Erlend moves.
Me :)
guilty
@@navez5766 no, concert mexico city!
I remember an alternative rock station played this at like 1am in 2008 or something. Needless to say I fell in love with all their stuff. Thank goodness I went to a bar that night or I might have missed it.

I was feeling so down, till I listened to this song
Lesedi Binda really does put things into perspective, doesn’t it?
An ultimate feel good song. Almost impossible to not having a great mood when listening to this. At least for me, always succeed to make me happy.
Gosh, memories. It puts a spontaneous smile on my face.
this song has made me smile since i was 9, i'm 14 now and this still makes me so happy c:
Now you're 23, this song still makes you happy?? :-D
I'm 25, and still hapy XD
For al the new people to this duo,listen the whole album,its like a sweet tea on a rainy night😉👌💞
Even the breaths they take between phrases are beautiful!!!
Good job matching the young boy with Erlend! What a fun catchy song to dance to!!!
Hard to explain the feeling of wanting to dance like no ones 👀 the best feeling
elijah wood was so young in this piano session
Am I the only one who loves to dance to this song with a smile on the face? The boy in the red jacket lives in all of us. :)
I got this randomly recommended and has changed my life
I'd rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don't we just move into the other room
There's space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune
Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven't read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...
Ana b thanks!!
Thank you so much. For some reason, I can never understand what someone is saying until I read the lyrics and hear it loud and clear smh
Lagu ini sangat baik dan kreatif, sayapun membuat lagu indie ini dulu... ua-cam.com/video/uzfagv8NNhA/v-deo.html

Anyone noticed the girl at right on the background who just spins because fuck the coreography at 2:53?
She's doing her own thing .
The more I watch the more I laugh . She'll probably be a choreographer one day who knows , she was improvising .(ha)
Ahahaha thank you for pointing that out xD
thank you! ajdhsjaj
Grazie Mille Mujer!!
Anyone thought of the movie "Billy Elliot"?
oh absolutely! the first scene feels like taken out of the movie! “look at those arms” 😅 love billy elliott 🥰
this is the best song i listened to in 2019
This music may not hit you at first, but the more you listen more you love this. Just found out this song 2022
He looks very Napoleon Dynamite.
I was thinking Rivers Cuomo myself but meh.
hahahaha.. totally
Napoleon Dynamite as Billie Elliot.
if it was directed Wes Anderson...
@@lecielo ....Yes, I was also thinking on the same line. Moonrise Kingdom stamp all over:)
Wow I slept on a bop for over 10 years... oh well music videos are immortal at this point so I'll just join the band wagon now.
My English teacher Made me listen this when I was 14. I still love this song even if six years have passed
You should report that teacher, he/she was trying to get you to dance with him/her when you were 14 years old. God bless you you're alive. That was close.
@@RobinsonFang 😂😂
Yt recommending me after 11 years
And 11 years before I'm not even sure Yt existed
same
You're both quite young then
This comment makes me feel ancient
This song never reached my country, but it has such a fresh feeling, it doesn't feel old at all 👍
Yesterday I saw them in Chile. What a great experience! The concert ended with this song and the energy of it was awesome, everyone was dancing!
Que suerte!
Still watching and listening in 2020, the most talented duo of all time. Amazing voices, fab guitarists, beautiful to look at. Wow.
After 14 years, at 42 years old. This song still puts a smile on my face, and make my want dance with you ❤
Fun story. I began quarantine last year with a Norwegian girl who had come to Argentina. She showed me this band one morning as we were making breakfast. She went back to Norway and now I get sad listening to this.
Aw Bless
It is light, it is soothing, it is wonderful and it exudes a sense of calmness and happiness. 😊
Da merkt man richtig, wie die Kinder Spaß am Dreh hatten :-)
I like to see that the kids laugh natural, like at the set they really got entertained by this guy's Introductions.
I’ve never been any happier to stumble upon this amazing and happiness-inducing song and video!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Well that was adorable
Randomly got reccomended this on nye😂 happy new year I guess
omgggg i love this song!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHH
all moments marked "most played" right!
This is never gonna get old. I love you guys!

The message is the best. Live independent!!!
I've been dancing since I was 3, and honestly, I would have loved to have that dance class. 😆 #stilldancingnotsorry 😊
Amo esta canción! tanta positividad y alegría me aporta.
ohhh yeahhhh!!!!:......THE BEATLESSSS!!!!!
I always loved this song, and the video.
This is SO GREAT.. MAKES you happy listening to it..

It's only a hunch but I'm quite certain that the woman is the girlfriend/wife of the piano player... Looks the same as the woman of the CD-cover....

Lol whattt
Aw I remember these cuties! 🥰
I used to listen to this when I was walking across college campus.
Still some of the best string quartet arranging ever! Fantastic musicians all around.
Listen to this weekly almost a decade later. Thanks for the great tunes :)
Loved it back then when it first came out..... love it still!
i am 63 years old and still listening to it . motivate me to exercise
Today's the 1st January 2020 and that's my official 2020 new therapy session.
My band sometimes get compared to Kings of Convenience and its literally my favorite compliment ever
What is the name of your band?
@@maisonsamuels3333 We're called Ringo Moon (Disclamer we dont really sound that much like them hehe)
My uncle gave me a mp3 Player for my 13th birthday and put this song on it.
I really liked it ever since.

Hey you might like The Doublejumps if you like King Of Convenience
I thought this was a new music video until i saw the quality was 360p and i was like wait a minute. I think either these guys were ahead of their time or the same things are trending again
He's CUTE💖💖💖
I'll dance with him💖💖
the album came out the day before my 16th birthday. im 30 now and it feels the same as when i heard it then, only im doing much better now.
I’m oddly satisfied that this song showed up on my feed. One of my all time favourites! The geeky dance really cheers me up! 😆😂❤️
I wish they made more upbeat songs like this.
Listen to Erlands side project/band “Whitest Boy Alive”
With so much Love
Espetáculo amei!!! Tão doce quanto a "Bossa Nova Brasileira." Que Sorte poder contemplar essa obra belíssima!!!!
Frodo Baggins on piano
Have always loved this song.
Mr. Frodo is multi-talented.
Love this soft voice and the smooth style. It's like honey.
Love that this is being recommended nine years later
Who’s here in 2021 trying to relive the good old days when songs like this were around 🥺
The fact that it's 2024 right now is crazy
