Lyrics:
-
Big deal maker
Orange entertainer
Swamp it up, gator
Gang of undertakers
Make the new news faker
Swear me in, hater
Here it is, the strategy
We begin with comedy
Make it feel, make it feel real
Sing that simple melody
We’ll be the remedy
The cold golden family
Make it feel, make it feel real
Fuck up the facts that fucked up our facts
-
Follow the tweeter
The red red noosed leader
The great white white white preacher
Third world leacher
With grab the gut features
Shark me up, teach us
Long live the enemy
Here kitty kitty, the fantasy
Make it feel, make it feel real
Kitty cat catch up reality
We’ll be the remedy
The cold golden family
Make it feel, make it feel real
Fuck up the facts that fucked up our facts
-
I rub the lamp, easy
The people’s choice, genie
I get on top, see me
I got me stone, easy
I got the people needy
You swear me in, feed me
Long live the enemy
Here kitty kitty, the fantasy
Make it feel, make it feel real
Sing that simple melody
I am the remedy
I am reality
Eat it up, eat it all up

![ถามตรงๆ กับ อาจตุพร ทำไม ประเทศไทย ใครเป็นนายก ก็โดนด่า พอออกเเล้วคนคิดถึง!!?? l [Nickynachat]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3YFLMXxBGAs/mqdefault.jpg)
"Long live the enemy." I like that line. So long as there's an enemy to blame for the misery of people, the ones who pretend to protect stay in power.
This is some basic 1984 shit
Maybe true in 3rd world Africa or some shithole. I laugh everytime when i see someone from EU or US spews rebellious crap like this.
@@DominickDecocko It's universally true. Basic of maintaining power.
That's the dynamics of demagoguery.....
Oldest trick in the book.
De Staat consistently produces the most innovative videos in music. If we still had MTV they'd be in heavy rotation.
yes
MTV have many music tv-channels. I have now three or four MTV channels. They have channels from 80’s music to todays music.
too bad all their lyrics are nonsense
@@TJPproductions1 Nonsense? Plenty of the lyrics have meaning behind them if you look just a little closely. Kitty Kitty is a song about people in power and the things they do to remain in control: "orange entertainers" is a clear nod to trump, and the "Here it is, the strategy, We begin with the comedy" likely also referencing those of his ike (i.e. Boris Johnson), making themselves electable by appearing oafish. The song ends with "Eat it up, eat it all up", a direct message from the songs 'Powerful Figure' about how we continuing sucking up their shit.
There are lots of revolutionary vibes in their latest album, I suggest giving a closer listen.
I'm pretty sure the same guy edited my childhood fever dreams.
Nailed it
This might be even more interesting to reenact at live shows than the Witch Doctor dance
Wall of deaths!
If the first bit doesn't include the entire crowd running up to Torre and the stepping back and doing it again I'll be quite disappointed.
I think that this is already re-enacted quite often, just in Syria and other venues and not in a concert hall.
You’d need alot of spare De Staat members.
NO, WITCH DOCTOR IS WITCH DOCTOR, PERIOD
At 1:54 that little eye twitch, chilled me to the bone.
Attention to detail is phenomenal, I think I've found myself a new top 3 band.
my top 4 def
Doesn’t it sound like they’re describing trump and showing the animosity of the red/blue parties?
To be fair though, the red party would kill the blues, but the blue wouldn’t kill the reds. They don’t know that we don’t want to do to them what they want to do to us.
What does eye twitching and videos have to do with how good a band is? How shallow do you have to be to have such standards for a MUSICAL act?
@@nobodyreally834 shh
@@nobodyreally834it's about details
I dont even know these guys, but its so incredible because they totally look like they know exactly, to every detail, what they’re doing. It truly feels they’re fully in control, and that lets them do whatever they want, and have a take on it exactly the way they wish, even if it’s something so goddamm weird and strange. Brilliant.
Criminally underappreciated...
Love how Vedran only have two emotions. Disturbed and slightly more disturbed.
Amazed he managed to get David Tenant on guitar
Thank you. I always think that too. He looks like David Tenants brother or sth. like that.^^
Oh my God - how does this only have 500k views? This is incredible.
correct

Pppppp

Totally underrated. What a masterpiece
I screamed when I heard this in Sackboy: A Big Adventure. They put one of my favorite bands ever in the game, I just can't.
Possibly the most original music I’ve heard in 2 decades.
Sharing far & wide 🇬🇧 🇳🇱
That's because it's not from the United states
Damn, what a visual again!
Just seen this guys live at Voodoo bar belfast, they need to be seen to be believed, they are fucking incredible. I wish them nothing but success. Honestly an incredible gig!!
I've been lucky to have seen a lotta' live gigs in my time, some popular bands, but Newcastle, 2019 tops everything. 'Fucking incredible' sums up the lads live performance perfectly.
It's really cool to read someone else getting that kinda' psyche out of a De Staat gig too.
Me too .. last night here in Leeds .. had the time of my life 😍
2000 trees 2023. I've seen a LOT of live bands. This is the best.
The new villain for the upcoming far cry game set in the Netherlands.
HOW IS THIS SONG STILL NOT TRENDING?
its a good song
HOW DID I FIND YOU ACCIDENTLY IN THE COMMENTS?
It's about the wrong people for that to happen.
It is - just picked up on it!
@@andrewmckelvey8057 Listen to it without the video ..its not that grabbing.
2:17 the guy playing with his braids to the beat is both a mood and a legend
Check out the Peptalk video. There's more of him (Rocco) there. th-cam.com/video/o_Rpr-uMg14/w-d-xo.html
i saw that too! lol
Lol
Possibly the most underrated band in the northern hemisphere (i can't speak for the southern hemisphere).
LO
You mean overrated
@Eureka_sevenfold De Staat 'is' mainstream here in Holland :-)
The southern hemishpere is under the purview of the band Tropical Fuck Storm :p
@@Raap123 how can it be overrated when nobody knows them spastic? Stop trying to be a hyper hipster lmao
That's it...I'm buying your entire discography.
@@PrinceGastronome I did the same :)
Nice mitsubishi
@@35Frost Thanks.
You'll never regret it.
Stage 2 is to see them live repeatedly and realise they can do everything recorded even better on a stage.
Stage 3 is to meet and natter with them after a gig and realise they're just top lads.
Stage 4 is to introduce them to another buddy who might dig them (extra gig partners help in Witch Doctor reenactments).
Stage 5 Rest easy knowing that you're winning at life.
This is absolutely fantastic!
Damn, just realised the song itself (as in the fact both sides sing in it) is a way of showing the similarities of groups with polar opposite views
Yep, don't trust politicians. They make a career out of lying so well millions of people think they care about them and their problems / beliefs / values / identities / etc. They lie so well that one half of the country will take to the streets and burn the other half. Vote however you want but it won't ever really matter. In short, you need to make me Emperor of the world because I actually do care about your problems / beliefs / values / identities / etc.
get ready, as of right now, this is what's playing when I'm opening netflix and this video is about to blast off to the stratosphere.
Lang geleden dat ik zo onder de indruk ben.dit is geniaal.ook de video.dat dit niet viral gaat zeg.
Torre, front man or psycho killer, take your pick.
why not both?
ques que se? Ba-ba-ba bah bah...
please, he isnt phycho, its killing for fun.
He's Algernop Krieger from Archer
@@gustavgnoettgen and I love that i have an erection... That doesn't involve homeless people dancing around me in a giant circle
"When you buy a camera that can zoom."
I’m Nikon
not just a zoom tho, its combined with the camera moving towards him
@@sjengdjensen and a gimbal
and a digital zoom in post production
@@valterskruzkops5138 and a morph between a wide and a close up
I have a condition where I can't go a day without watching this video
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you, The American Electoral System. Bravo, De Staat. Bravo!!!!!! Thank you for showing us what me and many of my fellow Americans are feeling right now!
we are in the single digit minority, unfortunately.
Jesus! This just became 100 times better after seeing the actual video!
(slams fists on table) THIS DESERVES VIEWS DAMNIT
Saw these guys play Mama Roux's in Birmingham last night. I was expecting to enjoy it, I wasn't expecting to go to one of the best gigs I've ever been to. If you ever get the chance, go see them. Amazing band.
welcome to De Staat
3:41 RRRRRIIIIIM CLIIIIIIIIIICK
Absolutely brilliant. The most cutting and accurate commentary on our fractioned world, and the algorithmic echo chambers we find ourselves living in. Well done guys and much love from Cape Town!!
I listen to this song at least one time per day ☺️🎵 I just can’t get enough of that rhythm & that bassline 🤤 love it
I'm an American but De Staat is by far my favorite band these days so I knew this song well already. About 2/3 through I started sobbing. I have never had such an emotional response to a music video in my life.
Well the song IS about YOUR political reality at the moment.
It is, as the kids say these days, "All-Time". So poignant, it takes an outside view sometimes.
America? Where is that?
rock battle between blue and red de staat GO
Get you someone who loves you as much as this video editor loves zoom
You know, I'm starting to think there's a message about politics somewhere in there
I get trump vibes tbh
@@Zennomon r/wooosh
@@Zennomon Orange entertainer...
But just a hint...
yeah but what yall are talking bout (trump, the red/blue thing) is all usa politics and De Staat is a dutch group
This is just something special on so many levels.
I'm really looking forward to see you guys in Denmark this September
There must be a futuristic cyber-punk war movie with this song in the soundtrack
Geniuses ❤❤❤
I think this song will mix really well with the American news of today. Just mute the news and listen to Kitty Kitty
That minute twenty between 2:31 - 3:49 is simply awe-inspiring! Fantastic synthline that starts off low, mean and moody, and then just explodes at 3:11, with ALL the drum fills. Amazing stuff. :)
Damn, Torre Florim is so charismatic.
this has some serious CAKE energy
These guys make the best music videos
I like the ones from Taylor, the creator. You should check em out!
@@pinkimietz3243 oh yeah I love tyler. Kinda sad his latest album didn't have as much videos as his previous works
That was some next level shit. I’m glad to see their production value going up. Thank god I happened to stumble upon them because they are just awesome.
OOOOH YEAH!
Still so amazed how this video "only" has a little over 1 Million views. De Staat is honestly one of the greatest. Sadly being amazing doesn't popularity
This is one of the best clips I've ever seen! :)
how tf does this not have 10x amount of views? lemme talk to mgmt/label this is criminal. blow this shit up.
Just from the Netherlands and WoW! it's different!
Still good, great even.
An army of Vedran Mircetics ? Niiiice
top 10 epic anime standoffs
Jeeez, why do I like this as much as I do?
I preemptively like every De Staat video / song I come across - there's something kickass about knowing you're going to like everything...
비와이 고맙다 멋있는 뮤비 보고간다
These guys are so fantastic seen them live.Spoke to them real gents.😄
1 million views.... Congrats
Can't stop thinking about I Care a Lot... Brilliantly acted and absorbing despite reprehensible characters.
2:32 is choose your fighter screen
I can't believe so many people don't know who De Staat is
Fascinating first rate song and very cool video.
I've never seen anyone else with an Aphex Twin stare before and it is disconcerting and mesmerizing.
Consistently great music, that freaking drum solo!!! Moreover, your Music VIDEO itself is astounding! Incredible videograpy!
The track itself was great already, now the clip and all its symbolic is great as well
This video lives rent-free in my head.
I like the drummer's facial expression. so pure, so genius.
How can this band have not 5M views and followers ??!! so underrated, so talented./
De Staat is without a doubt my favorite bands now days, I really hope you guys can come to Chile one day.
Massive Peter Gabriel vibes...100% Excellent!!!
thx I care a lot to bringing me back to De Staat, this awesome band !
God the dynamics are incredible! Usually songs try to get to the meat quick, but no, this bounces around, recovers ground in a way that gives new effects to a familiar melody, the synths are dragged out long but not too long, and they wouldn’t work if they were any shorter.
This is friggin’ epic instrumental music, whack and clever lyrical meter, and the video is wonderfully live-action ‘plus’.
Only bummer is the sudden ending (not that it’s not gradually brought on). It goes from loud and intense, to silent. But this song would probably be another three minutes if they redid the ending. And that’s fine with me, I listen to jam bands that go for 20 minutes at a time.
My faith in musical creativity has been renewed amen.
Same! 100%
This song and video is amazing.
뮤직비디오 개멋있네 ㅋㅋ
Easily as good as ‘Witch doctor’. Bloody well done.
this... is...i don't no, maybe because I'm Russian. But this video... it's something I can't live without anymore. Thanks, guys . Music was a discovery for me again. Respect from mother Russia!!! Long live the enemies!!!
Soundtrack of the Netflix movie “I care a lot” ; nice work guys 👏🏻👏🏻
Friend pointed it out to me, if you've seen the tv show Legion, this would totally match the sort of surreal style they use for depicting psychic/telepathic battles on the astral plane. (very good show, would recommend)
Why this doesn't have 100 milion views I will never understand.
People like mainstream trash.
5:06 there's something real dark behind Vedran's eyes, and i want in.
Theres something addicting about this song
actually sending love, i really like these guys, they grow on you fast, they play instruments , feel their music, nothing to hater here. creativity ,enjoyment and low key messages -kitty kitty and witch doctor won me over, hoping they would do a led zep/bestie boys tune, thanks guys
I love this so much... combined with the music video it's so hypnotic
It feels unlikely since De Staat is dutch, but as an american viewer it's really hard not to view this music video as being about the inherent lie in partisan politics; the blue and red, left and right, both sides essentially colluding so that they *appear* to be enemies, but really they have the same interests; hence the 'long live the enemy' line, suggesting that as long as they can publicly point at each other and appear to be opposed, their system works.
And that is why a two party system is Trash
Same system, same issues, different package 📦
and in the end,
it's not blue, it's not red. it's purple.
It's not left. it's not right. it's the above.
Both sides are pawns in the piramid system.
I always thought Orange entertainer was veiled trump reference
The singer is the definition of sardonicism.
Just saying....gotta love De Staat!! Meer meer meer, let it rain down on me. This song surpasses witch docter for me
Damn, this camera is malfunctioning. I can't stop it from continually zooming in.
Don't worry we are artists. We'll perform, you film anyway. I'm sure we will come up with something great.
Tldr: best music video ever. EVER.
how does this not have a million hits? That was amazing! I've never seen such coordination between song and video, that was WILD.
Love it
Brilliant song and film clip 🔥🌟🌟🌟
You guys are just brilliant. So original. I'm a big fan. Keep going.
I always share De Staat's video to ppl who doesn't believe me when I said Dutchies are the craziest! lol
ace!
How have I never come across this band before. They are all kinds of awesome.
Somethings up. They’ve got to be getting throttled. I don’t understand how people haven’t discovered them. I’m a hard to impress fan and this is good
Absolutely astounding, completely blew me out of the water!
This deserves millions & millions of views! so damn good 🤤
can not believe, but this tune is even better than "witch doctor"
One of the most powerful and important songs...pass it on
