I was reminded of Santigold, after playing songpop on face-book, as I vaguely remember them on Later with Jools Holland. I like it because it is out on it's own, and hard to pigeon-hole genre-wise. And it doesn't pander to a particular audience.
I first found out about it through SongPop. I had to hunt down that cool catchy groove and thought the official video was fun. I used this video to introduce someone new to this fun.
Personally, in my case, Missing Persons and Terry Bozio is what brings to mind and did so from the very first day I heard this song. Unrelated reference, but another example of being reminded of Missing Persons was when Lady Gaga came out with "Applause"; the way she sings those verses, they sound very similar to Santi, in this one... and both obviously they had to have been influenced by Missing Persons... music wise or image wise. In a 180° example of Terry and the MP's influence on the modern era, I also remember the very very first time I watched "Misery Business" by Paramore... and I thought to myself, am I deja vúìng or is this the Missing Persons deliverance from the dead? But that was mostly image wise.. because the actual music was over produced, compressed to the max and to an almost full extent, manufactured to the max.... but coming back to Lights Out. The Siouxsie comparison is in fact spot on, I never made that connection before though it's pretty obvious, perhaps that's why ... but I agree. But in my case, the first thing that came to mind when I heard Lights Out was: "The Missing Persons"!! And the first thing that came to mind when I saw Lights Out music video for the first time was: M.I.A.!!!
l like santigold videos. l luv watching her sing live. great band, amazing singer. one of my favorite songs, and santigold has put out a lot of my favorite songs
Anyone know where this was recorded? Or what year? It's a fucking brilliant performance, but the quality is pretty potato. I'd love to try to seek out a better source.

I lived through the original era, worked in rock clubs in the Village, saw Bowie & The Red Hot Chili Peppers as a paid stage technician at the Ritz (early '80s) in the Village (as well as practically lived in OMFUG, CBGB's and Danceteria) and IMHO, this track and this artist, although she came much later, her music stands proudly with any of them. She reminds me of early Prince, The Bus Boys and Fishbone and makes me proud as a Black man who loved that era of music. My kids still listen to it today.
40 years old and never heard of these ever.....been a junglist since 92....1st rave in 96 at a prime age of 16. Discovered this song and it brings joy to the soul as those golden years did as well...love this
This song and performance alone made me say "I'll take her"! This song came out well past my early 20s but quickly take me back to more innocent carefree times! To those out there if you have the physical and mental ability. Make your 40s the new 20s. When you get there you know!
Some kind of redemption song IMO, with this enjoyable sound, not pressuring at all, only cool stuff, nicely made. I don't know if my com makes sense, let's say this sound clears ears nicely, even with this damn YT quality.
12 years later and I still love this song. ❤️🔥
Who is listening in 2020? Very awesome artist and song!
2023 😎
I am listening every year, we are listening every year, EVERYONE is listening every year..!!
check out her band Stiffed, produced by Darryl from Bad Brains. proper attitude.
This song sounds FANTASTIC live.
I've only listened to the song 30 times today what the heck
What a cooooooool voice she has!!!
Yess! I loooove her voice, so sweet
This made me smile from ear to ear, her voice is legit great, better even than the studio recording.
She is awesome. The band killed it. Sounds even better live than on the album. Kudos!

this is such a great song. love how she's always got a huge smile at the very end when she sings it live
Love her energy and vocals
Shit. I just found this tune. Where the hell have I been

Kool chick, superb song.

santigold est une artiste originale et interessante !!
l like santigold videos. l luv watching her sing live. great band, amazing singer. one of my favorite songs, and santigold has put out a lot of my favorite songs
Underrated BadAss!!

Sound better than the album version.
I love this song!

She fly....................
Anyone know where this was recorded? Or what year? It's a fucking brilliant performance, but the quality is pretty potato. I'd love to try to seek out a better source.
I'm going to give you a very rough guess of south America, maybe 2093
I was looking for a better version of this video with no luck
2023! Still listenin'
theyre doing the jump on it dance ;)
Wow!! That was awesome!!! She is so cool!! Is she single???? Lol
zonie9872 Married and has a child
Dang :)
a 2;25 ad? what the actual?
So....... Like the dude finding out Bobby Caldwell was white...... Im finding out Santigold was black
The Dunlop AT81 motorcycle tire review brought me here.
B.O.B brought me here
Finally a black person play rock. So boring just to listen to rap n RnB. This is coming from an Arab person who listens to range of music.
What do you mean finally? Black ppl literally invented american rock and roll.
I love her, but I kind of feel like her vocal embellishments here were a little miranda-esque :)
What happened to the original singer? This doesn't even sound like Santi
its def her idk what u talking about
@@MarianaOrtiz-z8k english please
Still watching in 2024!
This was my wedding song. Brings a tear of joy to my eye every time I hear it.
Man that's one punky-ass amazing wedding song. Thanks for sharing that memory :)
For some reason this song gives off a 60's surfers vibe. Like Dick Dale or an old Frankie Avalon, Annette Funichello movie. She's definitely a siren.
Freaking coolest weeding song ever!!!!
Omygoodness what an excellent choice. Mine was Tonight, Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins!!!!
Cool choice!
Respect ✊.
2020 still rocks this tune
2021 still rocks this tune
2021 n Still Jammin!
God Bless
I'm kinda blown away how Santi never reached more Commercial success (whatever that is)..
With how Damn Talented she is!!
yes
starting to look like a 2023 angle
Santi is so amazingly talented. This song in particular really evokes Siouxie Sioux's style, IMHO.
She is a huge Siouxie fan
Literally just thought same thing. Didn't know she was a Siouxsie fan . Just love her more now

goddamn, high school love. this song is still heavy with the vibes. haunting summer nostalgia, innocence, all of the time in the world. no worries.
Beautifully stated…and so spot on.

This is the first Santigold song I heard and I immediately was hooked! Check out her performance on the infamous Tiny Desk Concerts for PBS!!!!
She and her band are a frikkin treasure. Amazing songwriting, and they just ooze cool.
Blown away by how awesome this is!
Damn, this is a good song.
She’s on tour right? She should’ve been a bigger star she’s a true original
Props to the camera man, you caught a nice close up of her beauty at the end.
Is she singing to some mannequins?
This is the first song I ever heard from this angel! Angels are everywhere, you just have to recognize their wings!!! Up and up, FLY! ❤
Studio version does not do her voice justice.
This song is the soundtrack of a very happy period of my life ❤
Lights out amazing it's a classic I fell in love immediately God bless Santigold

I dig her. She is cool! I would've never guessed she was black when I first heard this song. She's fantastic live.
This is better than the studio recording! She is a superstar!
excellent vocal performance and a great band
but is it darling or don't worry?!
Her voice reminds me of early Gwen Stefani for some reason...
Goddess and divine music.
What a GREAT SONG.
