What really sucks imo is that I've only ever found one video on youtube of someone doing a reaction video of this song and music video, but it only has 500+ views. There are so many cool and weird music videos out there that deserve more attention.
This video came on VH1 late at night once. I had no idea what to expect, I never heard of Hot Chip. I introduced them to my friends through this video. Simpler times. 2009
I remember first downloading this video on iTunes in college, back when they had their free song/video of the week, and I just kept watching it for at least an hour straight, just thinking, "What...the...eff is happening?!" It popped back up into my head the other day and I had to come find it - not disappointed at all.
I had the exact same experience! I was in high school when this came out and I thought it was the most absurdly hilarious shit I’ve ever seen. Plus it introduced me to Hot Chip who I now enjoy a lot!
YES! Same here! I used to just download whatever cause I loved the idea of free music hahah! And I'm so glad I did cause this song is friggin glorious. So happy I own it hahaha!
The way he blinks and talks to the crowd as hes floating forward.. you can feel his godlike prescense His subtle movements make you really feel like he is jesus
I've probably listened to this entire album at least a 100 times. I don't really see music videos. But I just happened across the Hot Chip channel and saw this...amazing...bewildering...emotional?!...thing?!
I had suddenly been reminded of this song after 10 years. I remembered none of the lyrics. I typed in "Cancer Jesus" and this is literally the first video that pops up.
This came out in when I was just in the middle years of college and I remember watching this and listening to this so many times... Aaah..! Hot Chip, Soulwax, Simian Mobile Disco and many others... What a time to be young and partying!
@@atlantic_love Oh boy, you never had a laugh, didn't you? First, the whole video is a parody on boy groups. Then, there appears a mysterious skinny and bald dude in white clothes who for some reason is able to spit out energy beams out of his mouth to blast away the members of said boy group. Then everyone is miraculously ressurected and all together perform the last part of the song until all of a sudden another mysterious being appears in a form of a giant head, which annihilates everyone with his eyelasers. So yeah, everything in this video makes perfect sense and follows the rules of logic and by doing so there is absolutey nothing funny about it, so you are right.
@@stephenbruce1548 He's an actor, comedian, director, and screenwriter. He had his own TV show, but he was also in Shaun of the Dead, Sing, and John Wick: Chapter 2. On top of that, he was also the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I.
I can't remember the last time something has genuinely made me laugh like this! Genuinely loved it, amazing song, meaningful message in a light way. Im officially hooked
@@CJ9007 The person who wrote this song had great empathy and compassion for those of us who yearn to be as one with the people of Earth united in love. But they knew that humanity is lost in it's pain. And so it is a great message of empathy, compassion, kindness and sincerity. A great sadness lives among us who see. We see the virus of hatred grow day by day. Hurt people hurting other people. If only they could look within and find their hearts they would find also the way home.
A long time ago, I got this music video for free from iTunes as they used to do daily or weekly free songs/videos to download. And I remember watching this after I downloaded it and going "what in the heck........... i love it" XD It's such a bop even with the softer vocals that could lull you to sleep. The beat is just fantastic and melody gets stuck in your head for decades lol I friggin love this song XD
Idk how but totally randomly out of the blue "I only want one night" line came into my mind and now it won't get out. I remember when this used to be played on trace urban when I was younger
To everyone who just discovered them. If Hot Chip ever plays at a Location near you... you propably should try to get Tickets. I fondly remember them (or the crowd) nearly demolish the "Paradiso" in Amsterdam in 2010. Who would have expected one of "those Dance Bands" to positively burn down the house
I'm still trying to figure this out. so: the in crowd loves this boy band and it's cookie cutter of the fans to be clones of each other that adore this band until this terminal weirdo jumps in the mix giving the band no choice but to accept and make him the main guy for their band, then a black cool guy even cooler calls them all out for not being that cool in the first place. I LOVE IT. I FEEL BETTER
Me and my bestie would watch this video if we were in a bad mood.. when I tell you we would replay this over and over so confused but laughing our ahh off 🤣🤣
I remember watching this music video back sometime between 2013-2015 as a teenager, and Ive finally absorbed just now that the characters have names. I cant get over Kyng and Mar'vaine man, its fucking sending me
I showed this to my Boyfriend at the time when it came out around 2010? He had not heard of Hot Chip, but I think I made him a fan with this video alone.
I love how all of the comments in some way or another say that they remembered seeing this video years ago and that they just randomly remembered it and had to watch it again. Tbh that's exactly what I did as well.
The first time I saw this, my wife had just given birth and was getting her first sleep in like 3 days. I damn near crippled myself trying not to laugh.
Von Anfang an das beste Musikvideo aller Zeiten!^^ Wir gucken das immer mal mit Freunden und JEDES mal sterben wir fast vor lachen! Und großartiger Song. Ruhig mal ohne Video hören. Oder mal Life gucken. Die Band gehört zu denen, die Life RICHTIG gut klingen. Wenn ich Boxer oder Wrestler wäre, wäre DAS mein Song für den Auftritt!
I discovered this music video when I was in the 7th grade in 2010. To this day, I can’t find a music video any weirder than this.
I once thought the same thing...BUT try searching Vitas - The 7th Element lol
I could show you one... but you will never be able to unsee it
@@JuanDLink i think I know the one you mean... Does it have anything to do with a swimming pool ?? 🤣🤣
@@evieemaya88 ahh, another person with a lot of culture, just like me
@@JuanDLink you know it my friend, culture and a few traumas lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is on so many levels I can't even, I just keep coming back to this song years after finding it. Pure fucking art tbh.
This song just plays in my mind randomly every few weeks
Same here 😁
Cancer Jesus! Took me a minute... Classic! 🤣
oath
Can't even what?
This video remains engraved in my brain for the rest of my life
I discovered this song last week. When I tell you I've watched this video 150+ times, I'm not over-exaggerating....
How has this timeless classic not got more views?!?!
Because of VEVO. A while back lots of music videos were uploaded by that channel. Now they are gone and so are the views.
Because it was re-uploaded in 2019.
What really sucks imo is that I've only ever found one video on youtube of someone doing a reaction video of this song and music video, but it only has 500+ views. There are so many cool and weird music videos out there that deserve more attention.
it’s a deepcut lol
As someone else said, reupped. This definitely had over 10M on the original post.
I'm still laughing just as hard over a decade later. 😂 Magnificent lol
It’s the slow motion look he’s giving while still singing 🤣🤣🤣
I love 'Cancer Jesus's ' Facial expressions. Great acting! 11 years already. Crazy.
This video came on VH1 late at night once. I had no idea what to expect, I never heard of Hot Chip. I introduced them to my friends through this video. Simpler times. 2009
This has possibly gotten even better with time? When someone asks me what art is I send them here.
Fourteen years later, this track still slaps. Keep being you, Hot Chip.
One of the all time greatest music videos. Who'd thought it was directed by Peter Serafinowicz. Brilliant.
First off, the casting for this video is amazing! The guys look like a real pop Uk boy band!
Don't forget the audience. These are some of the greatest reaction shots I've ever seen!
@@Psychofrakulator they're screaming as if a magic cancer patient legitimately wrecked their concert and started laser breathing the band
My fav thing is that The band is in the audience and also the ones who get lazered in the end

I’ve just discovered this song on Nov 2, 2022. Watched the video and it sense if you reverse the events.
Glad I'm not the only one who found it that way!
YES! Same here! I used to just download whatever cause I loved the idea of free music hahah! And I'm so glad I did cause this song is friggin glorious. So happy I own it hahaha!
@@SpyroShurtagul so glad I'm not the only one who remembers those free music downloads lol. I found so many artists that way, including Ed Sheeran.
I want this song played at my funeral or else I'm not going.
Have you heard the max cooper version of this one?
Or the Florian Menidl rmx
Exactly 🎉
Buddy yasss!!!¡!!
Hey buddy, can I come to your funeral?
The greatest music video of all time. I'm still chasing this high.
The way he blinks and talks to the crowd as hes floating forward.. you can feel his godlike prescense
His subtle movements make you really feel like he is jesus
It's seriously so well casted, performed, and edited
Ur weird
You have issues.
Cancer space jesus
@@atlantic_love
So does your momma.

That is the way to find the song. Cancer Jesus will set you free.
*cancer space jesus
this one of those music videos you just cant explain
This came out in when I was just in the middle years of college and I remember watching this and listening to this so many times... Aaah..! Hot Chip, Soulwax, Simian Mobile Disco and many others... What a time to be young and partying!
3:06 what my pizza rolls see from my microwave as the timer expires
This video was the first time I ever had tears from laughing too hard.
Why do you think the video is so funny?
Real tears!!! 😂😂 me and my bestie would watch this if we wanted a good laugh
@@atlantic_love Why? Dude, did you even watch the video?😂
@@szbugy My comment implied I did, and don't see what's funny. You seem easily impressed.

One of the best videos of the last two decades.
why your photo is similar to mine?
@@LReis Cuz you have sophisticated taste!
I FEEL BETTER

I only want one life 😎 #ifeelbetter
I only want one night
#ifeelbetter ⛩️🇵🇱
何回聞いても良い曲だし、何回見ても面白いわ!
Peter Serafinowicz: How weird do you want the video to be?
Hot Chip: Yes
The video makes no sense, until you remember that Serefinowicz was involved.
And then it still makes no sense, but at least you know why.
@@HugePilchard Holy shit, really? This now makes sense.
@@B0BBYFL4SH and Mar'Vaine was in a video for N'Dubz...
@@HugePilchard I don't know who that is, but I can understand that he must be a "weird" individual.

This only has 19k views? Hell, *I've* watched this video 19k times.
Classic! Reminds me of my semester in London in college. Magical times.
This happens to me all the time.

GREAT SONG
So glad you are all here supporting this brilliant artistic masterpiece.
still the best music video of all time
I'm feeling much better now
One of my fondest internet finds, thank you Hot Chip
I can't remember the last time something has genuinely made me laugh like this! Genuinely loved it, amazing song, meaningful message in a light way. Im officially hooked
Sending love from Canada!
Hot Chip Lives Matter!
This might be legit top 50 best music videos ever made.
Nah 51st for sure
Top 10 in my opinion.
Hot Chip does good Music Videos.
This makes my eyes well up with tears.
How come? Hoy or pain?

Strongly agree
Still my favourite music video ever of all time. Thanks for the upload.

I miss this
I love the chorus hook - it's just perfect :-)
best song and video literally ever
How is this song NOT hitting millions of views in 2020?!
i only want one life together in our arms
everyone's talking abut cancer jesus
can we take a moment to talk about the floating head
you dont talk about float heads, or they will see you
Cool how they got the guy from Family Matters to do a cameo
That’s just the villain from spy kids
Idk how but totally randomly out of the blue "I only want one night" line came into my mind and now it won't get out. I remember when this used to be played on trace urban when I was younger

They are great live!
Wasn't the floating head to blame?
The whole album was banging tbh. One of my go to binge listening album.
I love how Cancer Jesus just books it as soon as he realizes what's up
Something about the leads singers smile lofts my heart. Xx
Probably one of my favourite songs ever written
Have had to keep watching this at least every year since it came out. The acting is incredible would like to see a film of this
I love the way that the lip sync for Cancer Jesus is edited.
Where exactly in particular? Just curious.
@@eyywannn8601 I think this is referring to the fact it's filmed in slow motion to give it that dream like effect
@@eyywannn8601 1:04 he's saying it double speed but they slow it half so it's in time but SLO mo
'Cancer Jesus' 🤣😂🤣 you wil'in 🤣🤣🤣
Ross Lee nailed the speed lip sync for the slow mo shot, its a powefull effect.
I still say this is the best music video of the last 20 years
Still vibing to this banger in 2024
I'm still trying to figure this out. so: the in crowd loves this boy band and it's cookie cutter of the fans to be clones of each other that adore this band until this terminal weirdo jumps in the mix giving the band no choice but to accept and make him the main guy for their band, then a black cool guy even cooler calls them all out for not being that cool in the first place. I LOVE IT. I FEEL BETTER
same
Real
This video will catch again, and the rest is future history.
Still the greatest video of all time
This feels like the kind of video made by someone inspired in a dream
I can't stop watching this....
This video always had me confused and intrigued all at once 😂😂😂 the video is hilarious but the songgg is 🔥
Me and my bestie would watch this video if we were in a bad mood.. when I tell you we would replay this over and over so confused but laughing our ahh off 🤣🤣
I remember watching this music video back sometime between 2013-2015 as a teenager, and Ive finally absorbed just now that the characters have names. I cant get over Kyng and Mar'vaine man, its fucking sending me
Popeye though 😂
Can't get this song out of my head like for real
I had forgotten just how great this was!
I showed this to my Boyfriend at the time when it came out around 2010? He had not heard of Hot Chip, but I think I made him a fan with this video alone.
Great Song
Who remembers this song back in 2009
Yeah!
This single was released in 2010
Triple j
I didn’t hear it until 2011
Time Travelers
Revenge of the nerds with mad talent and a sense of humor. So glad I came across this again. Damn vevo
$OSAK FAM for life
AERODACTYL USED HYPER BEAM!
ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE!
Still my favorite song in the world. Even years later.
Same im back here after like 8 or 9 years
I love how all of the comments in some way or another say that they remembered seeing this video years ago and that they just randomly remembered it and had to watch it again. Tbh that's exactly what I did as well.
Still have yet to encounter another video that one-ups itself this many times XD
I just Saw them live in lisbon! Amazing show!
I FEEL BETTER, the song is and like they people
HD! Still one of the best music videos ever.
No it isn't.
This is the best music video ive ever seen.
I'M A' FIRIN' MAH LAZER!!
You don’t get the likes you deserve
I saw y'all perform in Queretaro last night and it was an amazing time! Thank youuu.
I have no idea how I found this video, but I am so glad it was a part of my childhood. On god💯
Любимая группа, любимая песня! Спасибо вам большое за ваше творчество!!!
Я использую Google Translate, чтобы прочитать ваше сообщение и введите это
согласен.Был очень давно на ихмконцерте
The best HC track for sure 🫶
Dunno about you but I definitely feel better. Thanks Hot Chip!
YES FINALLY IN HD
The first time I saw this, my wife had just given birth and was getting her first sleep in like 3 days. I damn near crippled myself trying not to laugh.
Looking back, I didnt know VHS in the morning was everything😂. As a producer, finding dope music before going to work kinda hits different.
man mr burns really has a nice voice
this is how i start my day, and i don't think anything can beat this video
How does this not have at least a million views
How does this only have 6.5k likes?
Now 7.2k come on my fellow Americans this is a great band!
What a time in my life

I. LOVE. THIS.
Show this to someone who loves boy bands, but don't tell them what it is.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh it's great
I'm gonna show this to people on drugs 💯
Hot Chip is a boy band. They’re a band who are boys
