Shoutout to the dude who just wanted to read his book and somehow managed to do so while the whole school was getting totalled. I wish I had that kind of concentration.
@@chriswirth9484 I'm 66 now and I'm STILL watching this video once in a while. Damn. All I can say is check out "Hazel English Shaking" video. About the only thing since this that has similarly knocked me off my feet, (the tune more than the somewhat goofy video).

I've always wondered what happens if you ride a flaming motorcycle at speed. Does the wind stoke the fire or help put it out? This did not answer that question, good video and song none the less.
I produced this and co-directed a few scenes and I will say that it was finding a balance where the stunt man could not ride too fast or flames would diminish and the shot wouldn't last long enough but too slow a speed it looked fake.
The NP's usually have interesting videos. More to this visually interesting and arresting video than "teenage violence." Solid AC song--bouncy driving pop(y). The musical talents in NP's is excellent. Great synths and the vocals--Newman is simply a great arranger.
i wish i was there to be in this music video, they look like they had way too much fun im jealous lol, great great great song im really diggin it! :) ...deserves at least a million views too
En su séptimo los canadienses vuelven a dar en la diana con ese pop efervescente y agitado. El reciente abandono del compositor Dan Bejar para volcarse en Destroyer no ha dañado el producto, todo lo contrario "Whiteout conditions" es puro sonido The New Pornographers, con excelentes armonías vocales, synth-pop, krautrock y piezas eufóricas que ayudan a retomar el amor por la vida. La voz de Neko Case y esas composiciones de Carl Newman que toma los mandos incluso en la producción, se mueven entre la psicodelia, consiguiendo melodías pegadizas que retrotraen por momentos a a la new wave ochentera, en una fórmula ganadora. Canciones como "This is the world of the teatre", "High ticket atractions" o "Clok wise" son caballos ganadores, que por momentos te pueden recordar a lo mejor de The Cars. Ecos noventeros para hablar del medio ambiente, la felicidad no alcanzada o como lo cotidiano puede llegar a abrumar. Música independiente novedades.
This video brings back memories of the 1979 movie Over the Edge. That was a crazy movie about teenage rebellion and they literally destroyed the entire school.
A song about the world's current day dire geopolitical situation...a civilization hellbent on self destruction over seemingly petty differences among "factions", even after achieving such technological greatness and progress towards egalitarianism collectively. The stereotypical elevation of violence seen between factions within a high school over such initially petty slights is a great metaphor for all of this visually. They even have the guy, who amongst all the chaos and destruction, is doing his best to preserve the knowledge of civilization by not getting distracted by and entangled with the pandamonium around him.
That's how it is at Yorkville. Lots of twenty-somethings --- don't judge, they were held back --- performing questionable chemistry experiments. Sometimes they get out of hand - they were held back for a reason. It's a high ticket attraction in Canada. What can I say?
like the song. I admit to pausing, rewinding the video to see that they threw a history of photography book. I feel better about myself now! Feels for the one guy trying to learn lol.
Such a beautifully subtle and powerful use of Neko and Kathryn's voices. So looking forward to seeing them in Denver this summer!

He only helped demolish it after it was on fire. That was the point. You were not paying attention.
Bahaha same I love him in this!
I'm 62 and I swear this is the only thing that has made me want to go back to high school.
Amen to that ,59 the same

@@bedmac2 It’s an amazing song
Yes. Same. GWHS Philadelphia. 81.
Rock and roll High School.
Back when school was worth your time
The like-to-view ratio is ridiculous, wtf… you’d think this song would get much more praise, it’s awesome!
Remember in the 80s when that new sound sounded new? This feels like that. Missed these people!
Search Bohemian like you by dandy warhols to hear the same song but better.
I just saw that video and I definitely see a connection. Both songs are awesome though.
that's what I thought when I heard it on SiriusXMU. not sure i am getting the video but haven't tried to hard but song is great.
Same
Only so many awesome chord progressions.
I’m a teacher; I watch this to feel better about my classroom management.
Anarchy in the high school and a flaming motorcyclist! Count me in! Can't wait for the full album to drop!
Definitely putting this one on the Coronavirus playlist
new pornographers : "we will shoot a video about a student studying no matter how others distract him"

School management : "WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!!!"
Must be students in California causing those distractions
Yorkville - an affluent neighbourhood in Toronto, Canada.
I love the synthesizers. Great song!
Just loved it! Couldn't help but smiling while I was watching it. The slow motion scenes just made it better.
Just saw 'em do this last night in Cincinnati. So so good--and the guitar break bends my brain beautifully!
This must've been so much fun to film. Awesome!
This looks like everyone had a whole lot of fun filming this. I'm so jealous
Love this song right away . Never get tired of listening to it.

This is like a cross between the Tubes and B-52's. Perfect!

Your music is always awesome! Can't wait for this tour, will be seeing you guys live in DC!

"This Thing Could Go Two Ways, , , " one of the very best songs I've heard of late.
Fun fact: the building they filmed this in is now my school. (It’s since been renovated but STILL)
Of course it was renovated they destroyed the entire f@#$ing school !!!
great combination of old and New.
old like the song"fascination" by the Human League. and new by,.... this techno sweet sound. 😀
Best chem class ever . One could say it was explosive

Me encanta esta cancion. I love this song

When all shit hits the fan, pretend it didn't. I've been doing that my whole life.
Hmm, yes, indubitably.
NERD ALERT
That's my boy Darrin reading the book 😂😂👍👌
This is not proper protocol for chem lab.

Ikr, nobody reads a book in a chem lab.

I see a general lack of gloves, pointing erlenmeyer flasks, beakers, and vials towards the fact, open toed shoes, no lab coats. The humanity!
Everything changes with Trump in office.
Daaammnnn who was shorty duel wielding the twin blades thooo?!??
Love it! Next time you guys make a video at all like this let me know, would be AWESOME to be in it! ;)
How did they film this?? Love the NPs!
This song has been stuck in my head since I've heard it at Taco Bell
Haha! I heard it at Jack in the Box in San Diego!
Success guys
rocking song!!!
Perfect song.
Very nice..thanks
This album has got alot of great songs on.it..
This sounds like a Devo song with female singers doing backup. Amazing song.
This song is awesome. Love ,love NP,s.
awesome and huge
Rock rock rock rock,
Rock & Roll High School...
really dig this song🎧🎶
Did not expect to be so entertained. A+
this is like the music video for an old fall out boy song but the music of a summer road trip
I heard this song on Sirius XMU. I'm surprised Alt Nation hasn't touched it yet.
good ass song and video!!!
you damn right
a-half-million-views-a-year- worth music video considering what a great band that was in mid 00s
Shaxan, & Before, After, NOW & FUTURE🌀
Good song...has a real 80's feel to it. If you replaced the guitar and base with a Moog synth I'd swear this was from the 80's.
cool vid!
"This video is not available."
You're killing me here!
Hell yes!!!!!
Beavis and Butthead would've lost their minds over this video.
They would have loved it!
The Royal Basement good call brotha
Fire, fire, fire he-he........ cool
"We tried that and we, like, got expelled."
Heh heh breaking stuff is cool heheheh

Why this video is not available for me?
You might need a proxy server.
It's a metaphor, folks. Go read Newman's interview.
metaphor or not- we live in a time of kids eating tide pods, snorting condoms; its like we are all doomed.... oh wait... yeah... continue
Coywolf006 he posted that two years ago lol
Cool song
Anybody make a "Well, that escalated quickly." joke yet?
very good!!

Great song, and band. Tone deaf video. WTF were they thinking on this one?
This video went from school students messing around to an all out raging apocalypse
Kool!
Oh heck this is groovy
all nice
So damn infectious.
Jengirl92, YES!
Delightful!
Don't know why, but i'm feeling some modernized Human League influence.
Synths But HL didn't have a Kathryn The Great!
That was the class for demolition 101.
So much symbolism, my nose hurts
What chemistry teachers see when you mix water and salt without safety goggles on
like the song. I admit to pausing, rewinding the video to see that they threw a history of photography book. I feel better about myself now! Feels for the one guy trying to learn lol.
This song reminds me of some of the music that came out of the mid 90s-early 2000s
Especially Dandy Warhols "Bohemian Like You" from 2000.

It was a school that was headed for demolition. www.omni-fusion.com/blog/2017/3/2/the-new-pornographers-high-ticket-attractions-music-video
Couldn't stop thinking "this must be a place that was about to be demolished... this must be..."
Honestly tho, I've seen more elaborate sets for music videos, easy to build those halls, classrooms, etc.
2:33 to 2:47 Resident evil resistance :v
New pornographers is a super crazy powerful band: (B52s x Decemberists)^Avogadro number
Some Len vibes
I think everyone has felt like doing this in high school at some point.
Miguel Zayne No. Not really. Why would anyone want to destroy their school like that? Most people feel great pride in their school.
Tavares, take a pill
It's that darn Canadian indie rock I tell ya! It's turning the impressionable youth into degenerate troublemakers!
**POW!!**
If the Euphoria characters ever actually went to class
the whole truth and nothing but the truth
watching this video is so fucking cathartic
So I guess new music that's good always has less than a million views. Why is this ?
It hasn't gone viral yet. Not enough people know about this song.
ohh
that how you start chemical fires
Another day at Sunnydale High.
Tom Marcinko exactly what i was thinking. 😁
Great song. I hear a little bit of Barenaked Ladies - Alcohol in this, anyone else?
This feels like an episode of community
