I'll bet they were thinking, "Think of all the great things we can do with the green screen." And then they were looking back at the clip and thought, "Ah, screw it, it's way better with just the green."
My cat freaking LOVES this video!! On another note: Ratatats sound selection is out of this world. As well as the dynamics of the programming and use of hand drums and percussion. I think its the coolest thing since the dust brothers sound selection and programming. Oh AND the GUITARS (with octaves and pitch bends...wow) Classic synths and acoustic instruments together...Sounds like the music thats constantly in my mind...peace guys
Does anyone know what film this quote comes from? I been thinkin what to do with my future. I could be a mud doctor, checkin' out the earth...underneath
I have the same amazing feeling when I heard for the first time Micke Oldfield songs. The sound came from everywhere everythings is as destroyed as perfectly build. Thanks guys.
It looks like a budgerigar. Native to Australia and usually more colourful that a pride parade. They can be taught how to talk (sort of) and make really cool companions/pets. In Australia they are the dude bird that granny loves.. ~laughs~
You guys never cease to amaze me with how you can build on that distinct Ratatat sound. Looks like LP4 is going to be just as awesome as the rest. I don't know how much longer you guys can keep this up :P.
I've been listening to this whole album at least once a day for the past week now, haha. Soooo good... Also, as a parakeet owner, I love how the little budgie samples in some of the songs get my budgie all excited and happily singing along. Music we can both enjoy!
Can't wait to see Ratatat at the Osheaga festival in Montreal. I just love how the entire video is just a bird XD Either they were super lazy, bored, or just really creative :P
@thee2552 they did use it live but it just had a black background, but they projected it onto two see through screens on either side of the stage, it was amazing. Definitely in my top three shows of all time.
Ratatat managed to stay under budget with this one. Poster board, borrow a bird for 3 mins and a flip HD. And yet it's more memorable than any Usher or Kanye video out there.
I love the part with the bird.
Castor Quinn who doesn´t though
Castor Quinn it gets you in the feel doesn't it
I know right? When he puts his beak on his back.
Castor Quinn I liked the video but found the part with the bird unnecessary
TheVelvetTV I'm offensive and I find your comment bird
I'll bet they were thinking,
"Think of all the great things we can do with the green screen."
And then they were looking back at the clip and thought,
"Ah, screw it, it's way better with just the green."
It took me eight months after reading your comment to realise they were shooting this for the video of Neckbrace -_-
Damn.
This video is art on its purest state. 10/10 would stare at a bird for 3 minutes again
How high are you right now?
yes
its kinda cute
There is no party.
There is no children.
There is only bird.
birb*
Violet Dirge one hol bird
They put a green screen there for us to use
Michael birbo milk
@@SpaceRazzer Chicken*
This is the song my budgie and I used to vibe to - he passed away in 2014 :(
Rip Tic Tac :(
Technically this is a music video.
It's got music and a video
That's all you need
"One time for the noise that we make... Two times for the shit that we take..."
I like how you could've utilized the green screen but you chose not to
ive been a bird for about seventeen years ok...
I don't WRITE my stuff anymore I kick it from my head you know??
Bruh
*you gave me the BUSINESS on that one..*
@@brettc3290 I can do that, no disrespect….but that’s how I am
Everytime I hear this song now I picture that it is constantly playing in a bird's head as it goes throughout its life.
My cat freaking LOVES this video!! On another note: Ratatats sound selection is out of this world. As well as the dynamics of the programming and use of hand drums and percussion.

Love how there’s lots left for us to imagine and interpret
Behind the bird
Only band I know that can make an amazing song and have the music video be 3 minutes of bird. Ratatat rocks hard!
Does anyone know what film this quote comes from? I been thinkin what to do with my future. I could be a mud doctor, checkin' out the earth...underneath
Days of Heaven
That is a cool fucking bird
the best thing is to imagine Mike and Evan behind the camera, filming the bird
I have the same amazing feeling when I heard for the first time Micke Oldfield songs. The sound came from everywhere everythings is as destroyed as perfectly build. Thanks guys.
Nuclear is the best :)
For anyone curious, that spoken audio clip is from Days of Heaven
Pretty little parakeet! She's a lovely white birdie.
When is Ratatat gonna come back and hit us with more of dem Budgie Beatzz?
whippyflagellum Now, apparently.
bird up
It's all about the snail down over here
The children went to another party.
E-Dubble Shortcuts, RIP Evan
Aw, what a cute chicken. Should be renamed to Party with chicken.
I just watched a three minute video of a parakeet just chillin out with the musical stylings of Ratatat. My life is now complete.
It looks like a budgerigar.

~laughs~
Couldz wutch this all day longZ, om nom nom.
If u dont listen to ratatats songs all the way through then u missin a lot
R.I.P. Fellini. ;(
:(
Wait he died?
I love them for this , just a bird in front of a green screen, there was a video with the bird on a roller coaster but I can't find that vid.

I'm finding this only in 2015? What the hell have I been doing with my life?
JUST got here bud.
+Matt Varner I know right?? They are so fucking good
I legit thought they were new
w8 they aren't new lol ?
2018 here lol
Her: I bet he's thinking about other women
Me:
Love the backflip at 2:30. I thought it would just sit there, but who would have known a parakeet could learn such a crazy trick?
Ratatat is made of win, magic, awesome, and synthesizer. You gotta love the synthesizer.
Rip felini the bird
best music video to date
that bird is so damn adorable.
Hot Sugar was inspired by you guys, I knew he sounded familiar.
I just searched "ratatat birb"
There's a lot of birb too in Neckbrace video
soooooooo cuuuuuute! great song too. i love their videos. great performance back at calvin college in september 2009!!! come back ratatat!!!
I'm moved. This beat is like brazilian baião, but with Ratatat signature electronic sound. Beautiful.
HAHAHAHA its just a bird hanging out for 3 minutes. XD These guys are the best.
One time for the noise that we make
I love this song so much!
Masterpiece!! Always!! Forever & Ever!!
Just came back to say how much i miss you guys 💚💚
I come to this video every now and then to check on the bird. Glad to see he's doing all right.
these guys are genius! Awsome music to listen to when I play poker, makes me strongly focused and dedicated....
This is video is completely random and absolutely amazing, can't wait to see you guys back in Holland again :)
It’s NOT random 😂
the simplicity of this video is mind-blowing
When the bird said... I felt that
Green screen is there for a reason.
This is like an open call for making a vid,
good idea, hope it lives up to the expectations.
haha best music vidoe ever!!! and love the song! coant wait the album
RIP E-DUBBLE. HE USED THIS BEAT IN HIS SONG SHORTCUTS.
rip

BUDGIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! One of the best music videos ever.
lawl. ratatat would make a music video of just a bird doing nothing infront of a greenscreen. fucking love u ratatat
This is officially my favorite music video ever. I love that bird!
I've never been so enthralled by a parakeet in my life....
Best music video of ALL time.
edubble freestyle friday #21! ripp

The deep emotions and symbolic meaning of this song is perfectly illustrated by this parrot.
cute berd
I love that this is offered in 4 separate resolutions
cute birb!!!
Great music(and original video), thanks ratatat
loved the little homage to Jean-Luc Godard at the end... I saw what you did there
Gahhhh the ending with amazing narration taken from Days of Heaven!!! LOVE RATATAT!!!!
now like 13 years ago.. magic!! great ratatat
I saw Ratatat live last Spring. I MUST SEE THEM AGAIN.
I'm so happy that theyre making a new album!!
Omg I never thought that you would hear them speak or say anything in their songs! This is insane lol My mind is blown :)
when I watched this sober I was like it's kinda cute but meh...
now I'm baked and I've been laughing non stop lol
This music video is soo deep it made me realize why I'm on this planet...
Proof that everything is better with ratatat
They used this bird in their recent concert at the Fox Theatre. They were projecting it into the side of the stage. IT LOOKED AWESOME!
When watching this video, I like to imagine that the bird's nostrils are its eyes and its eyes are its ears.
Its too early for this shit
Shadowsonicboo it's 5:25 PM here and it's too early
Derek Silva I can see the nostrils as eyes, but can't quite seem to place the eyes as ears....
I´m trying over and over and I almost have it :)
That's awesome dude!
The birb is all you need for a video
That bird seems so stressed,he might be a Mind Doctor.
With this bird, i have laughed, i have cried. Been through high points and low points. Yeah i'm drunk
@drumminjk924 dont even start with me!!!!
my health teacher made us watch that over and over and over
XD
This was so incredible live.
if filmed a musiv video and only showed a bird, people would rage. thanks ratatat for doing things i could never what?
dude best music and music video :D
Queen guitar!!!
this is classic Ratatat, sounds like it should be in a platform video game.
@ThaTruthsTeacher holy shit cats cleaning themselves... brilliant idea!!
It's 2:48 am..
I'm crying..
I'm also happy..
Nostalgia wtf.
wow this video just shows how beautiful simple things in life are. WOW
Best music video in the world.
this makes so much more sense after seeing their live set.
oh my god. this is beautiful.
This music video convinced me to go out and buy the vinyl.
I really like this video!
