The way this song kind of unravels harmonically is one of the most interesting things i've heard it a while. If you pay attention to the bass, you can hear how the chord outlining becomes gradually more abstract. Combining that dissonance with the gradually increasing syncopation and rhythmic tension, it really effectively makes the song kind of turn into this big, exciting, chaotic mess. Super cool effect. Also the 3-2 clave is an cool choice.
blegreeeeeee that’s actually super cool, never realised that about the song, probably because I skipped it most of the time
what
blegreeeeeee wow. That doesn’t even happen in the song, stop trying to be clever please. It hurts
@@fugglis5498 it Literally does lmao
Where the fuck does it get "more syncopated"?
I used to hear this song 5 years ago 😢
Same. My mom would play it and me and my sister would just love it. Life was good.
Fifa 15?
Yes
what are you deaf now ?
I first heard this song on FIFA and thought it sounded weird as hell, but the longer I listened to it, it became catchier
Same 🤯🤯🤯
1000% bro 😂
my choir is singing this and my teacher played this video in class. i’ve never seen a group of people look more weirded out and i loved it
Lucky you
bro same
Video seems to be in the style of don't hug me I'm scared.
YES!!
YES!!
+Noah Brink-Goodman I kept expecting something terrifying to happen
+Noah Brink-Goodman Ok I'm stoned so maybe this doesn't make any sense, but isn't it amazing how the whole world can come together on something as silly as a youtube video to the point where a person can remember watching the same video as someone else on the other side of the world and laugh and relate to each other. It breaks any stigmas or predisposed hate a person may have regarding another's cultural backgrounds. It's honestly beautiful.
+Sean Contreras yeah you are stoned
I heard this on FIFA and I thought it was going to be an African music group singing...
hahahahahahahaha yes that what i thought as well
Me too. I thought it was actually talking about their struggle of getting water
Same
Nike013 lol
I know right
The amount of effort they put in this video is incredible. Song is actually pretty underrated.
This is one of those songs you really don't realize the genius behind them until you listen to them a couple times
Whole band is like that, all their songs are great.
i couldn't agree more!!!
POW!!!
The tribal element mixed with Pop reminds me of Toto's Africa, in a way !
When the acid hits..
Yes! Rather have this hit of acid than the Fédération Internationale of Fake Athletes, anytime.
The end of this song STILL gives me chills. It's one of the most exhilarating segments of music I've ever heard.
Yep, struggle to find anything quite like it.
@@pokepe12 I can recommend Thank You Scientist - Birdwatching or clipping - Pain Everyday. Still not quite like this, but also incredible songs that evolve into what seems like total chaos but actually makes sense.
Fifa 15 throwback
MagicLaMa 😏
Ok
What is Fifa 15?
And the nights
YESSS THUS SONG STUCK WITH ME FOR 5 YEARS
I always imagined an African feel to this... now i associate it with drugs
Yeah, before the video I kinda assumed the singer was black
Ikr
+mariosonicboom123 Merrill Garbus AKA TuNe Yards, studied Haitian music before writing this album. You can really hear the influence in songs like Rocking Chair. Thats where the African sounds you hear are coming from.
Aidan Lozano Ah ok, that makes sense. Thank you.
I actually thought the same before watching this ahaha
There are not enough fun people in the world to enjoy this song
come out of closet
So true!
I love this song till 1:42
but after that, shit happens
I know right!!!
You've got that right.
I didn't like this song until the 16th time I heard it, then it starts to grow on you.
I hated this song until 2/3rds in when shit gets bananas
@@SGspecial84 hahaha yeah
This song was in one of the best scenes of Nurse Jackie ever
Omg Ik it was so cute
Yessssss
Onceuponascheme Yes! I love Nurse Jackie!
Shazamed it from there!
Jackie and zoe's scene
Ngl this is NOT what I was imagining the original to be like when I sang the choir version.
Same here, I’m singing this song in choir this semester! This song is awesome though!
This song is sung in choir?!
@@TheBluestflamingos yes. I am singing it with my college choir this semester!
@@laynielenz2k We sang it in my high school choir last year and literally the day we were gonna perform it on choir tour the whole covid thing happened and we had to go home.
@@cadmiumandwilsin2993 Damn. Did the chorus version include the lyric "Anything make me shit nice."
It has like a snowball effect this song... keeps on gathering momentum!
One potato, ten straws. Never thought that was possible. Science is powerful stuff.
YEAH! Science!
#Science .
really nailed that Yo Gabba Gabba type children's show style. its easy to imagine a full episode
it's kinda weird how the song goes just enough BATSHIT CRAZY to be frightening at first glance, and yet the video works somehow with the good song.
And the franklin part. And until next time, may the power of the cosmos BE WITH YOU! YES YES YES!
the colors, duke, the colors!
just discovered tune yards - really enjoy the music - see melon has commented under a song - check melons review - feel affirmed in my taste in music - then DIP
theneedledrop
Cuz yous hi
I'm colorblind, kid.
Internet's busiest music nerd is here, whoa :O
omg old fantano
reminds me of one of those 'dont hug me i'm scared' videos.
2021 and I'm still listening this amazing song and wonderful band. I REALLY love this video!! It's captivating
It builds and it builds and it unravels at the same time and then right at the 2:20 mark... Boom...
Brilliantly done.
This video kinda reminded me to Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.
totally !
Denzel Cameron I think it's not supposed to be creepy but it is to me.
Exactly! But i think it is suposed to be creepy
Yeh i just listened to it and watched it at night and ive just had nightmares the videos too weird and creepy
Jamo white Maybe you are too sensitive.
Am I the only one who thinks that this is the best song on FIFA 15?
Yes
This is possibly the worst song ever featured on any FIFA.
I skip to it everytime!
I agree this and "my father told me"
The Nights by Avicii is good too
This reminds me of " don't hug me im scared"
What's your favorite idea?
+Roy mine is being creative
Exactly
AJ Javia so true
AJ Javia THANK YOU. The first time my ex showed me the first 4, I introduced her to Tune-Yards right after. We both watched this video(for the first time) right after, and it's kinda blew our minds how similar this is to #3
This song is amazing I remember when it first came out I was obsessed ppl think that this song is cheery yes the best but these lyrics are amazing and the layers and build up is just wow music and artists like this need more recognition she's just amazing and has amazing musicality
Did you analyze the lyrics?
This shit can sound amazing, but you should hear the lyrics. Talks about domestic violence, physical abuse, manipulation, murder, dead... but no one can notice that.
Lyric genius, true
Bless FIFA 15 for introducing me to a whole new different type of music than what I'm into. Tune yards is amazing!! I feel very happy when I Listen to this band's songs!!!
So amazing. One of the most talented, adventurous, and daring musicians out there today.
Memories that will never be forgotten
I found this and all the memories from FIFA are coming back...
I'm not understanding how the top comments are people on here complaining about the song, but I think the video is fantastic. Jim Henson and the Aquabats would be proud.
5 seconds in - eyes rolling, me thinking this is some happy go lucky "world music" indie song
20 seconds - too colourful man
30 seconds - that bass tho
too many colours
1:30 - kinda growing on me
1:44 - this chick cool, beat switch cool
2:01 - damn this shit bangs
2:18 - DAYUMMMM *dancing in front of laptop*
now replay song 5 times
this is the correct reaction
Who doesnt have this reaction? lol
You forgot to add after the 5 times you can't sleep because that song is constantly replaying in your head and it eventually becomes shit and you destroy all the water fountains because of it!
David Vickers Poor water fountains :-(
Alfred Light Ikr, it's a shame what music can do to you...
heard this song on a google ad years ago, googled water fountain, fell in love, listened to entire album, listened to other music, forgot about tUnE-yArDs, randomly remembered like 4 years later.. fell in love again..
Obsessed with this song!
Didn't realize too many people dislike Merrill's voice. I find her voice so pure and unique. Very talented lady. Love the song :)
I listened to these band a lot in middle school and just found it again. They have music that just never gets old
Wow this is GREAT
Jackie and Zoey brought me here. :D
Haha same here
+Abigail Koons me too! binge watching!
+Tracy L me too
+Tracy L ME TOO :)
Ditto...
I love this song!!'n it's so fun an upbeat lol every time I listen to it I dance around my house with my brother an sister lmao it's so funny! Lmao
Negative much!
Really xD no offence but how old are you, your brother and sister?
OK accepted, but I don't see your point, fun has no age limit soooo?...
Just I couldn't imagine a 70 year old man running around in his house singing "there's no water in the water fountain"
!!!! I'm not 70! "Have you even looked at my picture" I'm in my 20s for crying out loud and I could actually see that lmao it would be funny as heck!!! Hahahahahaaa!!! Omg YOUTUUUUBE! "VINE" Lmao
There's something about the bass that I'm like, hells yeah.
I love this freaking song! Heard it on the show "Nurse Jackie" and downloaded it immediately
Here because I was turned onto Tune Yards back in 2014 and have LOVED them ever since.
I like this. It's like Paul Simons Graceland meets Pee Wee's Playhouse
setondriveable Holy cow, yes!!!
+setondriveable Which sounds exactly like the sort of thing I'd willingly step in front of a speeding freight train to avoid.
um, PERFECT
may the lower of the cosmos be with you
always.
yes! yes! yes!
I thought it was "May the power of the cosmos be with you".
When I first heard this song a couple days ago, it literally made me stop what I was doing to listen. I'm not exaggerating. I was drawing, and I couldn't focus on anything but this song. There's something hypnotic about it that perfectly captivates my brain, turning me into an open-mouthed idiot who looks like they're a second away from passing out. I don't know if there's something wrong with me, or something right with this song, but I think I'll go with both. Genuinely my favorite song in my life, now that I know of it. It reminds me a bit of Yponeko.
I first heard this song a few years ago and was immediately obsessed. I listened to it several times a day for a month. I just found it again and listened to it ten times.
Adore this! Roman Mars added it to a 99PI "Fountain Drinks" episode as a bonus thru Song Exploder which I just subscribed to.
I found it through the same channel =) So glad it exists!
that's how I found her too! made my day
Judy Hines Wow same!
Totally out of control. Love this.
THIS IS THE MOST INSANE CLIP I'VE EVER WATCHED AND I FRICKIN LOVE IT
I have been searching for this for HOURS
How? do you have no hands or something? I found this in like 2 seconds just by searching "no water in the water fountain". Yeah, it's that simple.
ManaRed I didn't hear that part tho!
i just searched 'get the water from your house' and it came up
Sabina Tsang same
Keep finding I'm getting this stuck in my head constantly
I'm addicted to this song. I listen to it at least one time a day
yes. Yes. YES.
I’ve been looking for this song for so long. I love her!!!!!
i'm only finding this song now!!?? I woke up to this song and danced all morning :) Thanks for this fun fun fun fun song :D
Thanks Nurse Jackie + Shazam!!!!
Julio Soto I know, that's where I found this treasure too! ;)
***** Me too! Love it!
jesabel63 Once a day my dogs and I dance to this ;)
*****
That's awesome! I love this kinda stuff. It's so creative. We should all raise our freak flag and be ourselves! Including our pets hehe I have 2 cats and Leo likes rockin' out to this too LOL Have a great one!
Same!
LOVE this song!!!! The video is a reminder not to mess with LSD, lingering side effects are a mother trucker!
My new workout song! My dogs think I should audition for So You Think You can Dance!
how much more can I love this tune . what can I say ,,,, if you've never listened , give it a listen ,
highly recommended .
i imaged a different video when playing fifa 15 growing up. no idea why i wanted so long, this is awesome
For me personality, I instantly fell in love with this song. Mainly cause of the rhythmic beat that's has a element of a non-Westernized feel. So yes, to me it sounds every foreign from Modern American music. Even the backgrounds of aged technology such as electronic static and static frizz gives the track a sense of a Lo-Fi music genre. Even the music video correlates to the techniques in the track to have this old school touch.
It's a innovate song that's catchy and some rhythmic patterns that DO need to have an acquired taste.
This artist reminds me a lot of other musical groups that are fond of the 'unusual' beats and hard to identify genres such as Little Dragon.
"Non-westernized"
I dont know about that...
PacifistBetaFish that is of your personal opinion, and that's a cool story. Should elaborate on that statement. Just curious.
Hysterical Nurse Jackie episode - loved the song!
Season 7 episode 9
Super fun video... absolutely my fav song for months now!
can never stop
Lyrics:
No water in the water fountain
No side on the sidewalk
If you say Old Molly Hare, whatcha doin' there?
Nothing much to do when you're going nowhere
Woohaw!
Woohaw!
Gotcha
We're gonna get the water from your house (your house)
No water in the water fountain
No wood in the woodstock
And you say old Molly Hare
Whatcha doin' there?
Nothing much to do when you're going nowhere
Woohaw!
Woohaw!
Gotcha
We're gonna get the water from your house (your house)
Nothing feels like dying like the drying of my skin and lawn
Why do we just sit here while they watch us wither til we're gone?
I can't seem to feel it
I can't seem to feel it
I can't seem to feel I'll kneel
I'll kneel I'll kneel the cold steel
You will ride the whip
You'll ride the crack
No use in fighting back
You'll sledge the hammer if there's no one else to take the flak
I can't seem to feel it
I can't seem to find it
Your fist clenched my neck
We're neck and neck and neck...
No water in the water fountain
No phone in the phone booth
And you say old Molly Hare
Whatcha doin' there
Jump back, jump back Daddy shot a bear
Woohaw!
Woohaw!
Gotcha
We're gonna get the water from your house (your house)
I saved up all my pennies and I gave them to this special guy
When he had enough of them he bought himself a cherry pie
He gave me a dollar
A blood-soaked dollar
I cannot get the spot out but
It's okay it still works in the store
Greasy man come and dig my well
Life without your water is a burning hell
Serve me up with your home-grown rice
Anything make me shit nice
Se pou zanmi zwen, se pou zanmi zwen
And the two-pound chicken tastes better with friends
A two-pound chicken tastes better with two
And I know where to find YOU so
Listen to the words I said
Let it sink into your head
A vertigo round-and-round-and-round
Now I'm in your bed
How did I get ahead?
Whoop!
Thread your fingers through my hair
Fingers through my hair
Give me a dress
Give me a press
I give a thing a caress
Would-ja, would-ja, would-ja
Listen to the words I say!
Sound like a floral bouquet
A lyrical round-and-roundandroundandround
Okay
Take a picture it'll last all day, hey
Your fingers through my hair
Do it 'til you disappear
Gimme your head
Gimme your head
Off with his head!
HEY HEY HEY HEY
No water in the water fountain
Floral bouquet
A lyrical round-and-roundandroundandround
No side on the sidewalk
Take a picture it'll last all day, hey
And you say old Molly Hare, Hare
Nothing much to do when you're going nowhere
Woohaw!
Woohaw!
Gotcha, gotcha
We're gonna get the water from your house, your house
Fifa 15 anyone?
Your Nan
i love this song
Ahhh this song takes me back to 2015 when days were simpler…
I can always trust tUnE-yArDs to make a colorful and creative video.
It's weird seeing so many people describe this song as cheerful. I always thought the lyrics or at least the coherent ones were kinda depressing.
Morgan Sheehy the second half isnt at all
Morgan Sheehy
Morgan Sheehy the words are depressing but the beat is very cheery :D
the beat overpowers the lyrics to the point u dance and dance without even realizing how sad it is
I know, its happy music with depressive lyrics
People that love music love this group.
Oh my Goodness, I've loved the song for ages but never seen the video. Not what i was expecting, but i love the abstract creativity.
1 potato, 10 straws
But how is this possible?
Science?
Science!
Science in Action!!!
Brandon Szparagowski
Top 10 questions scientists can't answer
Gyee
The clearest definition of abstract.
And it’s absolutely terrifying.
I've been looking for this song for years.
2:20 one of the most glorious moments in all music history.
1 potato, 10 straws? That's not science, that's magic. Seriously though, perfect visualization of one these guys' songs.
One potato, TEN straws!
I love you and your Tim and Eric.
Wizard shit
GAIE
May the power of the cosmos be with you, *YES! YES! YES!*
Heard this song on Fifa 15 so long ago. Heard it again on that Google ad just now. So many memories.
I miss you fifa 15 😭
Same🥲
This video is the result of many recent graduate art college students
My two year old daughter loves this song. She demands it every bath time. So, thank you for great music and a lot of bathroom dance time!
This makes me so happy
I'm so confused and I love it
This beat is sick!
Lowkey mad that my fav underground band is getting popular. Like I want them to have success but YIKES
Feli :p THIS IS SO RELATABLE!!! I was like this with tøp, ecosmith, and Glass Animals.
you guys are pretty much awesome.....when you come ATL let me know.

Christopher D what the hell?!?!
