My grandma just passed away but she was old as dirt and HATED electronic music. I put this song on for her and she said it kept making her move her body, tap her foot and it made her so happy inside. Thank you Todd for this track I will always have that moment with my grandma.
can you feel this guy's despair? his father's sick, he's stuck in his village, he cooks drugs to forget how shitty his situation is. Then music gives him an outlet. And remember no matter how you dance, for as long as you feel the groove, that's fine !!
The synth lead puts something in me that's hard to describe, almost like it contains the energy of life itself. It's beautiful, hopeful and emotional. I want to dance.
Pey Tron This made my day. Doing this now. Thank you for the reason to get up off my ass and dance like nobody's watching. Next to an open, ground floor window with no curtains.F*ck it. If Pey and I can do it, so can you. Let it all out. Go nuts!
Oh this song was inescapable in nightclubs for a few years. Not that I'm complaining. Anywhere that played techno/tech-house/electro-house/disco, you could be guaranteed to hear it and people went OFF every time, it was glorious
@@fantabulous_unicorncoachin338 He was the second night headliner at a camping festival here in Australia and having a crowd of 15,000 people 'singing' along to that iconic synth in a lush little pocket of bushland lit up all neon and rainbow was some otherworldly magic. It was Meredith Music Festival 2017 if you want to look it up, there'll be videos
This video has it all. Amazing track to dance to, one of the best IMO. Combined with the mockumentary, a story of a guy stuck in a rut that's his life. His story gives a strong contrast to the song's catchy, bright, and hopeful tone. I got teary eyes the first time I watched this, and now that I come back to it, still is.
When I saw him live last week, I had one of the most amazing experience of my life. I wasn't sober at all and the club was absolutely packed, however that night was magical. It was like when this song came on, everybody just started dancing like crazy. It was beautiful, beyond beautiful honestly.
justfetus you can! Just catch him whenever he performs live and do 1/8 of shrooms lol haha Hey, but on a serious note if you're around NYC in July you should come thru to his show at Terminal 5. I believe he's bringing his whole orchestra. I'm gonna be going with a bunch of friends! p.s. IT'S ALL AGES!!! ayyy
Fèlix funnily enough, I already have tickets to the show in NYC, and am very excited. Unfortunately, crowds nowadays are boring as fuck and don't seem to want to dance or show much enthusiasm which is a damn shame. This is coming from someone who goes to many many concerts including dancey stuff. Also funnily enough, I enjoy shrooms. I won't be doing them for this show but shit I guess that explains your experience. P.S. All ages sucks. Although the younger kids are more likely to dance, meh.
So this song I've shared with family and friends and they just don't seem to understand how this is one of the best dance songs and dance I've ever come across his live performance of this song is amazing as well and I just wanted to mention how this song has gotten me through a lot thanks Todd Terje!
I understand mate. Same thing here exactly with a tune by The Comet is Coming - Summon the Fire: ua-cam.com/video/5E4QndyyxPw/v-deo.html The 2023 Glasto version is even better. I absolutely LOVE it but my family (who have excellent musical taste) don't seem to share my passion. They love Terje tho :D
Holy shit this dancing is perfect. Seriously, more people in clubs should do this, and not just jump up and down like twigs. He's got the most simple catchy dance moves I've seen in years.
I'm gonna be deadass honest, do this day nothing gets close to how the "drop" at 2:15 makes me feel. no matter what situation or mood i'm in, this part always makes me feel super spacy and like everything is alright!
I like this guy very much, he is so lively in times of artificial people. I read below that he is a teacher and as I guess his students wrote these comments. What does he teach? Anyway, cheers and thumbs up for Marius! ^^
This track is fantastic,just makes u wanna move and everytime i have a vacant moment this track fills my head. Marius is enjoying life,anything that takes me outta reality ill do especially living in today's Britain!!
Love the song, love the music video. It reminds me of the movie Nói albinói, about a young man in Iceland who is stuck in his tiny hometown. If this music video was a whole movie I'd watch it for sure.
Someone shared this on a music thread on 420chan back in 2013 and I still come back to it. Saw Todd live in 2015. Did a light dose of mushrooms. Incredible performance.
i've listened to this track so many times this year.... when i first heard it I was like WOW. still adore it! and the video...just perfect!!! so... much love for this tune! ❤
after relying on this track for many years, and on'y seeing this video for the first time today, I can confirm the interpretation to video is spookily accurate - almost identical to what played in my mind all these years - salute. much respect and thanks.
Haha this was me for a full month after the discovery of this sick ass track!!! Anyone who didn't cook and act like this after listening to this track is not normal.
i just heard this in a television commercial here in usa for 'budget razors' - "whaddya want for a few bucks? lobster" - pretty funny commercial and then........................i got to hear this!!!!!!!!! AWESOME! recognized it instantly!! Go Terje!! (love you bryan ferry)
He is my economy teacher, and last day of school before christmas brake he did the inspector norse "dance". My all time favorite teacher!
Was he good at teaching economics?
Todd Terje is your economics teacher??
@@saltyninja the dude in the video is not Todd Terje.
@@rauhvelt very, VERY important clarification haha
Same here! He was haha. Oslo?
one of the best dance songs ever produced
Never gets old.
absolutely agree
The video itself is unreal love the song always laughing watching the video 😂
My grandma just passed away but she was old as dirt and HATED electronic music. I put this song on for her and she said it kept making her move her body, tap her foot and it made her so happy inside. Thank you Todd for this track I will always have that moment with my grandma.
I am in agreement, thus tune is incredibly ridiculously talented

This is a mockumentary
But still the story they tell is nice
Man your comment hits deep in the feel
His Dad is sick and he's sticking with him. Makes me feel sad. That's nice.
Any idea which headphone brand that is?
It's July 2024 and this is still the best music video ever produced. I'll come back in 10 years to reassess.
Mayhe not the best, but up there :)
It´s December 2024 and your statement is still valid, see you in 9,5 years

I dont usually dance much. But when I listen to this song I close the curtains and dance! It probably looks funny but it makes me happy! =D

I got up and danced. I stood up in my empty dorm room and danced my ass off.
The hand motions are contagious
Indeed, I use them to keep flying insects away.

I discovered this song in 2022, just 10 years after this video; this is AWESOME. How come this song is not more popular?

Update? How is our legendary dancing hero in 2025???
i cannot stop listening to this song, and neither can anyone i show it to. it’s contagiously funky.
Don’t forget the songs that made smile and the songs that saved your life
After 8 years I keep going back to this.
Been listening to this song for years, no words and still brings me to tears to this day

Without this song, i would have already been dead. Im glad i found this song that helped me so much during myhard time. Thx todd terje!
i'm 40, this track captures the italo disco sound from the eighties, wouldn't you agree
Yes , which it's to suppose transform 70's Disco into heavy synths , focus on melodies
Could I be the only white guy that listens to Italo Disco in the U.S
Italo disco you say? Hmm. Will definitely check it out.
michael G i don't know man. I just know that it's fucking amazing

We get it, you are unmistakably white.
This song is so incredibly beauiful, bittersweet somehow
Norway & electronic music always mix very, very well.
I dance around like that when I hear this song, so uplifting even when you're feeling down.
whateverest... one of the best short films i've seen :)
Extremly good
this track is so good. i hope his dad is feeling better now. 😊 ...dance on!!!!!!!
It’s acting not real
easily one of the best tunes of 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIFE TO TODD TERJE AND INSPECTOR NORSE!!!!
Holy shit this dancing is perfect.
Seriously, more people in clubs should do this, and not just jump up and down like twigs. He's got the most simple catchy dance moves I've seen in years.
I love this beat
How can this masterpiece only have 2,066,334 views after 10 years
Niche babay
Wow, you have it all- horses, swing, greenhouse...why would you ever leave? Nice track!
Dont know why, but this video give me goosebumps everytime I watch it
How has no one commented (as far as I've seen) on how epic his sweater is
Jarrad Levy Totally AF
Epic AF
Jarrad Levy it is epic lightbulb necklace is better though
Jarrad Levy its really amazing, yeah
Yes
this is what i call a music video :P
Pål Christian You should watch the short film 'Whateverest' then.
vimeo.com/58444378
I just heard this song for the first time this year, (2024). How is this not more popular? The whole album is amazing.
Album time - it's sensation! 🎉
No other music video resonates as much. Love it.
I'm gonna be deadass honest, do this day nothing gets close to how the "drop" at 2:15 makes me feel. no matter what situation or mood i'm in, this part always makes me feel super spacy and like everything is alright!
Karma I love that moment so much, too.
But it gives me the feeling as if I'm flying in space with speed of light.
I have the same thing! It’s amazing
it's as close to aesthetic as it gets.
It gives me ASMR chills every time
The juxtaposition of a joyful melody and a moment of sadness and despair is so symbolic.
I like this guy very much, he is so lively in times of artificial people. I read below that he is a teacher and as I guess his students wrote these comments. What does he teach? Anyway, cheers and thumbs up for Marius! ^^
This is the best song ever and I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about it
yes, it is.
Right?
Alot of people are talking about it❤
The most overrated dance track of all time, and the most boring people are obsessed with it. FTFY
I hope people see the immense contrast in emotions in this video, from sadness to joy.
Never gets old. Best dance song ever made. Best video ever. Terje is a genius
What a tune . new to me. Playing it none stop.
He is my life inspiration (the guy in the video, and Todd Terje musical inspiration)!
I discovered this song and Terje’s music recently and I love it!! Amazing 😻
best music video ever
A big talent stuck in a little town that has no beat yet.He can produce Musical magic✨️ like this, Simply Amazing!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would like to wear that sweater! When I was a child I had a silver dress. This video is so nice, touched my memories.
This track is fantastic,just makes u wanna move and everytime i have a vacant moment this track fills my head.
Marius is enjoying life,anything that takes me outta reality ill do especially living in today's Britain!!
If you play it on my funeral I might break open the casket to bust a few moves and drop one last E.
Love the song, love the music video. It reminds me of the movie Nói albinói, about a young man in Iceland who is stuck in his tiny hometown. If this music video was a whole movie I'd watch it for sure.
Glitchin AintEasy It has! Search up Whateverest
This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.
I know the feeling. Have run down a foggy Euro road many times... great experience!!
Prophetic song of the life of these days in quarantine :D
Someone shared this on a music thread on 420chan back in 2013 and I still come back to it. Saw Todd live in 2015. Did a light dose of mushrooms. Incredible performance.
This guy gets it. This is what music and dancing is all about!
PkSuperProd totally
Ha this guy gets it, utter genius and soooo true. I'm howling with joyous laughter :)
Beautiful tune, it releases more dopamine and serotonin alone than some other stuff shown in this video. Nice headphones :)
This song makes me incredibly happy.
This video is a link between cultures, its raw human connection without physical connection. mad Respect to the Inspector.
Dont make fun of how he dances. Its the only thing he has left in his life. Watch Whateverest, its a sad story of his life.
Eddy Warlock it's an amazing way to dance.
And he's gotta stop being sad.
@Marius Just stop.
mocku fockenmentary
First of all, his dance move are amazing, then it’s not real, he is an economy teacher IRL
i've listened to this track so many times this year.... when i first heard it I was like WOW. still adore it! and the video...just perfect!!! so... much love for this tune! ❤
Can’t believe I’ve been listening to this for 10 years lmao
You are not alone.
I'll be playing this video as frequently as I've listened to this song since it was released, which is about 20-30 times a day.
All in all, it's a sad song. It begins with joy and happiness but ends with a wakeup call of sadness and depression.
Life is like that in any skandinavian country
jijadelmais or anywhere...
I think it ends with acceptance and peace
@@jijadelmais Life is like that.
so much love in this vid

Un des meilleurs concert electro de ma vie au sucre à Lyon, merveilleux!!!
Best music video ever!
Hermoso.
love the scenes, shots, and colours :)
i love this song! you cannot imagine how surprised i was to listen to it in brussels! please come back here!
Haha this was me for a full month after the discovery of this sick ass track!!!
Anyone who didn't cook and act like this after listening to this track is not normal.
This brings me back. Heard this in Iceland once drunk out my mind with random travelers and it was so sublime.
damn. he slapping them mosquitoes with a fierceness...
lol I love him so much omg.
I can't believe this is the director who made Sick of Myself!!!!! Crazy. Great filmmaker he's turned into. Also iconic track
this man has impeccable style.
This is one of the greatest songs I found on UA-cam.
Awesome track and vid luv it good on him go man
Es un temaso!!!....hypnotic!!!!
he trully dances like he doesnt give a fuck. Tip of the hat to you sir.
Yeah , amazing track. Up there with Orbital "Chime" and SLAMs "Positive Education". Great stuff.
perfect video for perfect track

How is it possible that this amazing song with an amazing vid clip only have 575,700 views????
God, I love this song and video.
still come back this tune many time in this 10 years
i fucking love this song
You can see he's interpreting something with his dance. At least that's what I see. Very beautiful in a way.
I think I'm in love with him.
This music video is so good, it's so depressing and the scenes hit the music just right! Ughh it makes me want to cry every time!!.❤❤
Sounds like Todd Terje found his inspiration from "Azymuth - Jazz Carnival". Check the song out here on youtube and play from around 04:05
Nice find! But it seems that there more things that have inspired him for making this song.
