For people who don’t understand the meaning behind the song, the singer has stated in multiple interviews he was in a bar in Liverpool when “love will tear us apart” by joy division came on. The singer of the wombats (murph) finds it ironic that people got up and started dancing happily to a song which talks about very dark subjects hence the irony

This song makes me imagine passionately miming these lyrics with the most perfect person I've ever met; if anyone wants to hit me up and dance to joy division, I probably won't answer because I have this song playing too loud.
@imDezrt Yeah, Ian danced for expression. Music was his escape and he didn't write to be silly. This song, as I was saying, shouldn't have the title cause they aren't showing Ian Curtis' and his expression. When he danced, he danced to let his emotions and wrote music to almost keep him sane. The song however makes JD look like some silly dance band and has no true meaning.

I didnt know for 10 years who joy division was, but I did remember the phrase "lets dance to joy division" in this song. I was reading an article about which type of songs where good against stress ... let love tear us apart of joy division was amongst one of the most stress reducing songs. So I looked for 'let love tear us apart" expecting to hear this song ... Instead I got to hear joy division. Started to read a little about the background story of joy division. Came back to this song, and it immediately made all sense ... This after 10 years of just liking the chorus of this song.
@@Lucaazade I'm in my early 20s and all my friends are at the very least familiar with the name joy division if not familiar with their's and New Order's music
I must admit I had to look-up who "Joy Division" was. Now I get why there is irony in dancing to their music. I listened to a few songs including "love will tear us apart", the singer sings in a very sad voice, and killed himself in 1980.
Fun fact: *i found this song in pony doors 2, one thing... took me 5 years! to found the actual song. it been in my mind. over 5 years, took me 7 mins to know the name.-*
I’m American and one day idk why but I searched google for wombat knowing that it was an Australian animal this band came up and I listened to moving to New York and have loved there music ever since
saw these guys at leeds fest friday night. one of the best gigs of my life, during this song the whole crowd went crazy, tent was completely full. incredible.
Heard them via a random Spotify mix about 6 months ago. Took my kids to see them in Dublin last month. One of the best gigs I’ve ever been to in my 56 years !!! Get to see them if you can.
@@rowleyac I saw some of their live shows on TH-cam and my mind was blown by how good they are on the stage Unfortunately I can't go and see them cuz they still didn't have shows planned in Germany but gotta see them when they have here
The depressing moment half their fans have no idea about Ian Curtis or joy division And the line 'let the love tear us apart' is a bit cheap but oh well
Because as a fan of Joy Division. it pisses me off when people wear the shirts and sing about them, and don't know they are one of the most influential bands of all time
is there a difference between people who listen to the joy division because of the wombats, and the people who listen to the wombats because of joy division?
I saw The Wombats a few months ago for the first time after loving this album for 10 years. I went to the show with my then-girlfriend who was just a casual fan. I started a mosh pit during this song, the only mosh pit of the night, and she got so mad at me for doing so. Still don't understand why, but I had been wanting to hear this song for 10 years and it was so much fun, so there were no regrets.
This song is super meta, this is about people who mindlessly dance to Joy Division thinking it's happy music, and those same people will think this is a happy song too.

@The_Unnamed_ TH-camr It's still ironic tho...
Lmao I'm sick of that song, absolute radio plays it all the time and I'm like wtf
Makes sense
Rlly not ironic cause Ian Curtis literally had a signature dance
What else would it be about? Building a fence?
Am I the only one who listens to this song ironically when I'm pissed off?

I danced to Joy Division's Isolation in Rio. Good times!
Saw them on Sunday at neighbour Hood weekender
This song was the most amazing thing live. I can die happy now.
This is my favourite song of all times. It always puts a smile on my face. I know 4 million is a lot of views but I think it deserves WAY more
i was literally just thinking about the same thing! i feel so stupid now, it makes so much more sense
Massively underrated. Love the Wombats.
I'm always happy dancing to joy division, even though a good portion of it is dark and mysterious music.
That guitar at the beginning oml

They were saying: "Us British have amazing accents."

1:22 that Queen reference in an ironic song about joy division
11 people are the prey of wombats
This song always reminds me of the koala brothers theme song
