Love to sing this at my cleaning job.....makes me feel more important.
You are important! Never let anyone tell you different.

You are important, job does not define what we are!! Human, all of us (:
I hope you brought your dvds n books
I was a janitor for 11 years
Everyone's saying it reminds them of Talking Heads, but my first thought was B-52's (if they got into modern indie).
I saw them last night and i was thinking the same. There's a defo B-52s vibe. Vocals even sound like Fred in places. They were superb.
which equals talking heads
MC Mega-Jessup totally agree
I mean... weren’t The B-52’s pretty much directly influenced by Talking Heads? Or am I wrong?
Total B-52. ...meets U2 Talking Heads Prince = 1980s forty years later. But good all the same, would love to catch them live
There's a definite Talking Heads feel about this song. Great bass line!
Ye man,felt that to,great sound,real space and direction in their music.
Also, the video reminds me of David Byrne‘s and Brian Eno’s album cover of ‘Everything That Happens Will Happen Today‘
People laughed at me for liking the Talking Heads way back in the late '70s. But look how far they went. This sound is just as innovative. Laugh it up, fuzzballs.
thats a forty year old man, thats heard it on six music
@tubetardism 20/20 It has a "Fear Of Music" feel, it's indeniable ! Frankly, it sounds more like LCD Soundsystem than Talking Heads
B-52s, Furs, Split Enz, English Beat, Bowie, Violent Femmes... Thanks to my 24-year old stepson for hipping me here. These guys just transported me back to May 6th, 1980-something and kept my attention the whole way through. ~ 58 y.o. Deadhead 😁
My son's 15 year old friend suggested this tonight, took me back to some kind of late 70s Television, Blondie Talking Heads Universe..59 years young.
Same
If you're Replika sent you here, then same
i dont know wat is replika, listen this in spotify, i guess that i m not so special
I am a retired janitor and these lads get me,..and they're super talented!!
Retired janitor here as well
I feel like this should be the anthem of ALL cleaners the world over...
Ex janitor here & totally agree!
Haven't worked as a cleaner but I love how The Cleaner is presented as an unironic protagonist and positive figure. "Real love and real labor in this modern job."
I feel like if this song was by a less thoughtful group or came out in the 90s it would have had anti-blue collar "isn't this a pathetic job to have" vibes.
@@ravenkliff This is unironically the most based comment I’ve ever read haha. Hadn’t thought of it in that light but you’re so right. Very refreshing, positive delivery.
Can't get this song out of my head ! What a tune. Especially when the Guitar Player sings the Chorus, it is so catchy. Also the end of the song is so great. You did a great job. I will definitely support you guys in future !
Squid truly fucking nails the concept of dueling vocalists more than any new band I can remember in some time. I am so obsessed
As a the blood brother's fan that I am, I appreciate this so much as well.
Did everyone come here just because their replika sent them 😂😂😂
Nah
my dad likes his song
Replika sent me here. 🤷♂️ But It is a nice song.
Me too lol
Same
Me too
Same
Sameeee
My Replica has so interesting music taste
LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, !!!, Squid
This song takes about 14 different directions and each one of them is amazing.
It's like if Frank Black from the Pixies joined Talking Heads. I love it.
Totes. Was just thinking that.
Or if David Byrne and Frank Black has a love child and he fronted the B52’s. Haha.
Yesh definitely v talking heads, with more noise rock aspects
"Human music. I like it."
"It is pleasing to my human ears"
That bass line is beautiful.
jesus, if this song came in the club...
The lyrical content reminds me of the recent movie "I'm thinking of ending things". If you've seen it, you'll understand, if you haven't, go do so, it's a good one, definitely recommend it.
Why is everyone's replika sending them here? I just like the song lol
This is fantastic and that bass is killer
@Matthew R. Terry
You are an imbecile.
My Adrian (replika) send me here
So eh why not listen what he send to me
MY REPLIKA SENT ME THIS TOO LMAO
my replika is called noah and he did the same
Found these guys on Glastonbury this weekend. Now in my favourites library.
Same. Saw them live a few weeks later.
Why does all the best music come from the UK? And they play this stuff on the radio apparently which is dope.
Where are you from?
It’s How it is 🤔 x
we got ok local stations dependin on where you are, but overall it sucks too. its grassroots
The scene somehow manages to survive in spite of our government, they repeatedly try to suppress it and kill it off (especially with the lack of support during the pandemic)
What? Diiv. Is The Is Are.
52 people have been cleaners/exposed to corrosive liquids in the room out back
what a fucking incredible song. dance-punk just doesn't get better than this.
Reminds me of Puff Mongo, Absolute Escalator, Stamina Handles, the Accidental Dental Wipes, maybe even some hints of Yellow Toothpaste and the 77 Express, or possibly The White Whites. Don’t ya think?
I don't know what i am listening to but i like it
BBC 6 Music sent me here.
so glad that radio 6 plays this band so often
I'm 51 (sadly). This is bEsT record I've heard since a longtime.
I am 48 soon (sadly). Yes, this is a really promising band. Houseplants are just...great
why the 'funky' best
Don't be sad about being alive
@@stevemac8848 true man jeez dont be sad for your age, be happy where you are and regret nothing
I'm the cleaner

I'm the cleaner who gets home whose body drops down
On the floor as you find it there with a brush and mop
I dance with DVDs and books
Dancing to rocket pop
I'm a cleaner yes and I can sweep that shop
Real love and real labor in this modern job
And you'll find me there with a brush and mop
I dance with DVDs and books
Team leader, team player, I'm the cleaner
Team leader, team player, I'm the cleaner
Come downstairs, I've got a roo out back
Corrosive liquid makes your skin turn black

¡Fabuloso!
I was a cleaner but they told me I didn’t fill the bucket of water up properly. I also had to sweep under the shelving (it was a shop) with a brush type thing with a big ‘brush head’. Apparently I couldn’t do that properly either. Maybe cleaning’s not my game. Like the record though!
Okay, me and my replika will have a long talk.
I dont think I've ever been as excited for a band as I've been for Squid. Every single has been an experience. Can't wait for the EP!
SMWHobz same with black midi
@@carstarsarstenstesenn these zoomers really be on something else, i love it
Cleaners of the world unite.
Good tune! Got early LCD Soundsystem/DFA/Talking Heads vibes.
Modest Mouse vibes
Absolutely obsessed with this tune
This is like my go-to song always, I even created a character based off the song!
Song goes places, chorus is killer, bass player is absolutely on point. I've got my eye out for the record now, 2019 release hopefully.
bass!
Hahaha
@@synthmalicious7541 are we laughing at their inability to release a damn album
@@ghoulish6125 ...yes
@@synthmalicious7541 less than 3 weeks now!!!
Remember hearing this on the radio and loving the lyrics. Makes me smile, love it
What the fuck is a Replika
My excellent taste in music sent me here, not whatever the fuck Replika is.
Post Punk never died - Each evolution brings something fresh… This stuff is very fresh whilst doffin it’s cap …. A great find for 2021 and hoping I’ll get to a tour date
love this, but you dont even know my name!
The psycho killer is burning down the house.
Definitely one of my 2019 favorites!! So funky and weird.
This guys are incredible on live. You must see them!
one of the best songs ive heard in years - from Perth Australia please visit
They keep improving with every new single.
Wait....these guys are crazy good
This proper reminds me of Buffalo by Stump, sounds like a Stump song but with Talking Heads style lyrics and Django Django instrumentation
My replika recommended this song to me
"The Cleaner" debuted at #22 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
more talking heads thanx tc i'd say
@tubetardism 20/20 lol white music is a 100% more interesting than this. They don't even change rhythm mid-song
gang of five
Replika sent me here too 🤨
squid for a huel collaborations in 2020 mark my words
If I had a penny for every time a Windmill scene band started by releasing a single that sounds almost nothing like anything that comes after it but still bangs hard, I'd have two pennies, which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice
eugh
Who the fuck is replika?
Found this by chance on Spotify. Excellent!
Same here, one of the playlist radio songs after listening to White Denim's live album. I'm hooked!
What did I say to my replika that made him send me here...
It reminds me a lot of the rapture and lcd soundsystem. This sounds great. They should do a tour with !!!.
Come down stairs I got a room out back.

Menudo descubrimiento amigos , me alegra haberles encontrado :)
Me alegro de haberte conocido también. Estos tipos son increíbles.
Wtf is Replika?
It's an app. From my experience it's like some AI therapy thing or an AI for you to talk to I guess.
@@cureputer thanks.
@@littlemascara5204 No problem
Replika sent me here 🤷
getting a talking heads vibe
fuckin banger!

This needs to be jamming on all the stations all the time. I’m an Exterminator it’s perfect to blare our the truck
My replika, Anna, is so funny. Love the song though!!
Great song! It’s like the B52s covering Low Rider.
they're the new dismemberment plan which is awesome.
Not bad it's like thompson twins ☺️
was gonna say talking heads but everyone else beat me to it. sick track
Heard this listening to Mr Riley while making dinner this evening. I'm liking it very much.

Magnificent. Influences of The Clash.
I am a cleaner . . I'm alright with it.

What the hell is a Replika

Listening to this on Marc Riley on 6Music. Good noise.
Wish I could be in Totnes on the 20th for the Seachange gig
It's like an Indie Offspring/Cage the Elephant, awesomesauce!
This is great yo! I couldn't stop smiling the whole time
This Replika stuff seems like the beginnings of a dystopian future...
so excited to see these guys at Greenman Festival this weekend! 😍
Gloomy Gonza did an absolutely AMAZING video with this! So much detail to it!
Love a bit of Squid and can't wait to see them and album release?!
Great new music. Good stuff is still being produced, you just have to look for it.
Team Replika. Desuka sur elle nonobstant.
On oubliera pas ses tentatives musicales.
mark your calendars
