A lot of people are hating on Sam's vocals, but I think his voice really works well with the track. honestly I think his vocals are really what make foxygen stand out from all the other modern psychedelic rock bands.
They're genuinely soulful vocals, I'm sick of white kids singing like Tame Impala or Chet Baker, its as tired as everyone sounding like Eddie Veddar in the 90s
@user there is only so much you can do with the western world diatonic "scale". You cite Van Morrison(who is also a badass!), but almost everything diatonic was was already completed by Classical composers, Elvis, Hank, and John/Paul. Its incredibly easy to accidentally rip off anything western hemisphere. Some will say "but, but..blues started it all...". It did start the future of pentatonic. Credit those dudes for Zepplin, White Stripes, RATM, Clapton, ACDC, and the god forsaken Black Keys(they rip off bands on purpose). Thats my informative rant lol. Peace, rock on!
@@ronchorivera I'll never buy that there can't be anything new just based on combos a lone but who knows what could happen the 60s had to develop but it started somewhere. I believe in the power of good music and that it's actually pretty simple to not be a copy of something just gotta keep trying ☮️
I heard this song for the first time in an H&M store in Dotonbori, Osaka so many years ago. This was THE song of that entire trip, and it still takes me back
First time hearing these guys and I must say they have a sweet , polished sound . A catchy arrangement , great bass line with classy horns and strings put this song up on a very high level . Throw in a romantic , upbeat and hopeful theme you have it - a great song . Well done Foxygen !
i've never seen such a high dislike ratio the way that foxygen has on just a normal indie video. seriously the haters come out of nowhere for this band. they need to shut up and F off. respect foxygen's talent & vision
Moves like a young Jaguar. Sounds like Mick/Elvis Costello. Lyrics reminiscent of Thin Lizzie...Amazing someone so young recognizes true rock and roll of that time. Love it and I’m 63!!🙋🏻♀️
LYRICS: Hey baby, you know it's true I'm in love with you Babe, but you never (Never gonna be what I want) No, you're never gonna be (Never gonna be what I want) Yeah, I was shotgunned lovers on the avenue Yes, it's true, he's much too old for you Babe, but you never (Never gonna be what I want) No, you're never gonna be (Never gonna be what I want) I know sometimes everyone wants to be someone else So follow the leader Follow the leader Follow the leader and the leader is you Yeah, follow the leader Follow the leader and the leader is you, yeah Fun in the summertime There's no better way to spend our time, baby But that's never (Never really what's it's about) No, no, no, no, that's never really what it's about Oh yeah, I know what you're thinking You could never get me to cheat on you Babe, but it's never (Never really what's it's about) Stop making me feel (Never really what's it's about) I know sometimes everyone wants to be someone else Oh, you people know that's true, yeah So follow the leader Follow the leader Just follow the leader and the leader is you, yeah Follow the leader Follow, follow the leader and the leader is you, yeah Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I remember meeting Sam after a show in Bloomington, IN. It was outside and I saw sam talking to a small group of people behind the stage and along with my friend went up to him and congratulated him on a great set and told him that we were fans (without being THOSE fans) and he was kind and very laid back the latter of which surprised me given his erratic stage persona. Good times.
Can't get enough of this song/video. When we are in our 80s, we'll drone on boringly to our grandchildren about how we already recognized this band as super-awesome in 2013.(And they won't believe us--little shits).
Foxygen is an excellent band, but one of the first reviews I ever read about them still holds true: " It's like they took the best chunks of breaks and samples from their parents record collection."
to quote an album summary, "And now you're on a train. Facing the wrong way so the trees are passing in front of you. And you're looking forward but everything is getting further away. These nowhere towns somehow sound good. Like the city is heavy, but out here we float a little bit. America is too big of a boat to sink. Don't sink baby. Hang."
Was curious after watching a Amazon (I think) commercial. I'm happy that I didn't stumble upon crappy rap or something bad. These guys seem like a well needed. breath of fresh air in the music industry.
I like rap when it's done well instead of the rubbish like 'mumble rap' and 'gangster rap'. This is the first time I've heard of this band and I think they rock! I wish that commercial radio would pitch this kind of music again to younger audiences.
the video appears to derive influence from several scenes in "godspell" (1973), with sam as jesus, jonathan as john the baptist, and an assortment of frolicking disciples.
Nick Falletta Totally. Though, wish I had not looked up the vid, because now he reminds me of the first time I saw John Cougar on SNL trying to be Mick Jagger. Ugh. lol. But def cool little song, like it anyway.
Awesome awesome. I should be able to hear this song on the major stations not only college broadcasts. To me I hear som "Brother Louie" by Stories and some "Evil Woman " Elo

GREAT TRACK! PEOPLE PLEASE BUY THIS ALBUM SO THIS GUY CAN AFFORD A T-SHIRT THAT FITS HIM!!
We keep giving him money and he still keeps buying small tshirts!
Sam, that you?
🤣🤣🤣
It's OK for girls to show midriff but not guys?
Sexist.
I heard this song for the first time in an H&M store in Dotonbori, Osaka so many years ago. This was THE song of that entire trip, and it still takes me back
This is for sure their best and most impressive song from a production standpoint
First time hearing these guys and I must say they have a sweet , polished sound . A catchy arrangement , great bass line with classy horns and strings put this song up on a very high level . Throw in a romantic , upbeat and hopeful theme you have it - a great song . Well done Foxygen !
The singing reminds me of mick jagger. It's nice to hear great music that is so different from the mainstream crap. I love it!!
This sounds like a super-classy early 70s pop song. Love it!
Love riding my bicycle to this song , just put it on a loop and listen over and over
Im a huge ELO-fan. This must be inspired by them. Awesome tune!
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!!
i've never seen such a high dislike ratio the way that foxygen has on just a normal indie video. seriously the haters come out of nowhere for this band. they need to shut up and F off. respect foxygen's talent & vision
Man this choreography was fantastic. Possibly the best I've ever seen
Yes! Foxygen is back!!!!
I love how well synchronized the dancers are with Sam's moves.
Beautiful music video
Love "America" and this one ! Please come to France ! Thank you guys ! Can't wait for "Hang" !
Moves like a young Jaguar. Sounds like Mick/Elvis Costello. Lyrics reminiscent of Thin Lizzie...Amazing someone so young recognizes true rock and roll of that time. Love it and I’m 63!!🙋🏻♀️

Yeah, I was shotgunned lovers on the avenue
Yes, it's true, he's much too old for you

Fun in the summertime
There's no better way to spend our time, baby

Oh yeah, I know what you're thinking
You could never get me to cheat on you
Babe, but it's never (Never really what's it's about)
Stop making me feel (Never really what's it's about)
I know sometimes everyone wants to be someone else

So follow the leader
Follow the leader
Just follow the leader and the leader is you, yeah
Follow the leader
Follow, follow the leader and the leader is you, yeah
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
OH MY GOD I SAM AND JONATHAN PLEASE GIVE US MORE OMG THIS IS AMAZING
Love me some awkward dancing in my music videos.
MasterJakeStudios the girl in the denim vest had me mesmerized with her awkwardness.
What a perfectly awkward video!
J Dominoes almost could've been done by Wes Anderson
no se como llegue aquí pero me iré con un gran sabor de boca, increíble canción !
ey que onda parcero, me gustan tus videos de juegos offline
I'm here from that Google ad -- tbh I didn't know it was a real thing, but I will be listening to more :)
Lovely video, lovely song, lovely retro arrangement
why so many dislikes? this is one of the best songs they've done imo
This song sicks
Sucks
Song is dope
Song is dopey
@@mayflower2370 yeah it's not very good now that I look back at it
1970s vibe! I love this song!

So they didn't tell the back up dancers the moves huh? dope
its called follow the leader for a reason lol
I prefer this off dance moves, compared to the Jennifer Lopez, Paula Abdul choreograph dance.
Bands like this are bringing that 70s groovy sound. Supertramp style.
Love you guys so much!!!!!! Come back to Italy!! We miss you!!
I am so falling in love with this. So much love for foxygen
Can't get enough of this song/video. When we are in our 80s, we'll drone on boringly to our grandchildren about how we already recognized this band as super-awesome in 2013.(And they won't believe us--little shits).
My god, the pure soul of the 70s Rolling Stones is conserved :) A kind of "Beast of Burden"-thing. :)
20 seconds into the song, I was thinking of Some Girls/Emotional Rescue era Stones.
I love how on all their albums they have this Motown sound almost, no one else has a Motown influence
thats what thought haha
I love the song. I love the video.
His voice is so... just like every indie music singer's voice ever
I love their new song and especially the instrumental part *-* Sam's energy is unbelievable..and his moves with hips omg♥ :D
Foxygen is life
this video makes me smile so much haha
What songwriting talent. They are synthesizing so many elements from the past.
amazing as always foxygen
can't wait! love the jam session at the end of this so rich
shalalalalalalakalalalalala i wish that part would go on for 5 more minutes
love this.
Excellent, so looking forward to new album
Great song
Foxygen is an excellent band, but one of the first reviews I ever read about them still holds true: " It's like they took the best chunks of breaks and samples from their parents record collection."
This song has 70's
Bringing back the 70s.
instant classic! clever video 11/10
gotta say, this video makes me happy
I feel the exact same way
Me too!
is Hang a social satire? the album comes out on Inauguration Day, I honestly get a massive counterculture reference in this song, this is nice work
hippiecheezburger dude, maybe. considering the first song they put out since "...and star power" was 'America'
W
Ritules
adrian raya so did the Indians

Weirdly accurate

Reminds me of Todd Rundgren for some reason.
Just like last time around.
Nick Falletta without doubt

Totally, and I really dig that about them. Snobs be damned.

GOD BLESS FOXYGEN

tobias funke I blue myself listening to this
It's too self aware. A quality I demand of all other artists I Love.
THIS is music! Finally, originality has been found in an onslaught of unoriginal content some say is "music."
bro, nobody is perfect 💙
Sam looking healthy again :)
Drew Emerson i do believe he got off of heroin
he was on crushed fun dip bars
what the fuck
he was into heroin¿
@@Marco-xh5vh no lmao
they're sooooo good
Choreography on point
Thanks Spotify for introducing me to such artists ❤
this is a great song
Absolutely sick
Very ELO
Chris Johnson Yes I agree, this was my first thought.
Chris Johnson so happy to see this comment. First thing I thought was "Jeff Lynne would fucking devour this"
Yea kinda like Mick jagger vocals on the showdown track ha
Richard Fukuda bob Dylan how lol
Richard Fukuda I was gonna say ELO and The Rolling Stones
Whoever composed the music, composed iz very well, love it
Awesome awesome. I should be able to hear this song on the major stations not only college broadcasts. To me I hear som "Brother Louie" by Stories and some "Evil Woman " Elo
