About 18 years ago, a buddy of mine said "Man, there's this song I love but I don't know who it's by. It's a bunch of dudes in a container that's slowly filling with black water". For weeks he tried to find out what it was, but then one day he was over at my house and I showed him this cool riff I learned on the guitar from a band I loved. I can still remember the look of excitement on his face when he shouted "THAT'S THE SONG THAT'S THE SONG!". I haven't seen that guy since 2007 but I still think of him every time I hear this song :)
That's tough guy. But uh a little off topic but, I'm 31 wishing it was 2007 like so bad. I am not happy with how things turned out and I need to go back to the good days 😂
I was lucky enough to see them in a small club in NY called Brownies in the winter of 1999. They sang some rough drafts of songs from This Is It which was released 2 years later. I had a feeling about them when I first saw them.
Saw them open for RHCP and everyone ran back to their seats when this song came on, which was my first introduction to this band. It felt so surreal. Been a fan ever since.
Listening to this song suddenly made me feel nostalgic. I remember perfectly the first time a friend showed me The Strokes. Internet was a new thing that just arrived in my small town. We watched videos in low quality and we had to wait twice the length of the song to be able to watch it without pausing the video. What beautiful times... At that time I did not realize, but I was really happy. Time flies.
Even though the Strokes have been performing for 20 years I just "discovered" them a month ago (I'm 57) and I am really impressed by their style and in particular Julian's voice. Good for them!!! Up with the Strokes!!! What's my favorite one? Ode to the Mets.
Never too old to love a good band! I too was late to them about eight months ago (I'm 58), I have a few favourites, Hard To Explain is a fantastic song from their first album, but too many to mention, they're solid on every release, just a great rock band.
Today is my first time listening to The Strokes. I came across them while researching strokes for my Neuro exam tomorrow 😂. Sooooo glad I found them, this song has been on repeat ever since.
The strokes have so much nostalgia behind their songs, down to every note, and vocal. Each song reminds me of certain things. You only live once- bright summer day, Leaving the beach, then driving through a long street filled with green trees, eating macadamia nut cookies.
I love The strokes but I always need a moment of not listening to them in order to appreciate again their songs. Also they bring back so much nostalgia it hurts man
Don't.. you're right, I know, just don't mention the nostalgia. Trying to enjoy the song without it. They say nostalgia is bittersweet, but in this case it's a lot more bitter than sweet.
LYRICS: Some people think they're always right Others are quiet and uptight Others they seem so very nice (nice nice nice oh-ho) Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no) Twenty-nine different attributes Only seven that you like (oh-ho) Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho) Are twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho) (Oh, don't, don't) don't get out I can't see the sunshine I'll be waiting for you, baby 'Cause I'm through Sit me down Shut me up I'll calm down And I'll get along with you Oh men don't notice what they got Women think of that a lot A thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho) Not even one requires a plan (I know) (And) countless odd religions too It doesn't matter which you choose (oh, no) One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho) This I've tried, and I refuse (oh-ho) (Don't, don't) don't get out I can't see the sunshine I'll be waiting for you, baby 'Cause I'm fool Sit me down Shut me up I'll calm down And I'll get along with you (Alright) Shut me up Shut me up And I'll get along with you
This is by far the best strokes song, like the guitar going through it is so good. One of the best songs ever, makes you feel nostalgic for something you don't even know what you're feeling nostalgic for (like most Strokes songs).
Also check out "virtue" by the voidz. It is julian cascablancas side project. Some may aruge it's his main project now. Either way, they are amazing and "Virtue" is a great starting point.
The poor drummer is the first guy to go under cause he's sitting down. Rest in spaghetti never forgetti. Edit from 2020: why did I think this was funny and why did it get 10k likes
Whenever you have a bad day or a bad time of your life write it in the form of a screenplay. But make it a comedy. Then you can laugh about what happened to you.
Was only 20 years old when this came out, can’t believe this was nearly 20 years ago. I guess our grandparents were right when they say life really does fly on by.
The Strokes is my favorite band and I love that it happens to be my daughter’s favorite band the last five years of her teenage life. The Strokes and Futurama (the cartoon) is our two favorite things in the world. I love my kid so much. If you’re reading this, “I love you Maddie!!” P.S. She going to medical school!! So proud of her!!
***** It's just you. You're looking upon a man who could effortlessly steal your girl, along with all your female friends, acquaintances, and relatives.
When I was about 2 or 3 years old, my teenage sister, 14 years older than me, put the video of this song to play on TV. I remember seeing them drowning in the black water, feeling sorry and stuffing my head in a pillow so that no one would see my impending tears. For some reason, it was memorable to me. Nowadays I'm 15 years old and this song brings me good memories
This music takes away all my worries, every time I have anxiety about problems with my girlfriend or have exams at the university, I listen to this, everything goes away and I even feel super good
My son was 18 when he left Room on fire in the glove box of my car. I listened after a year of it being there, I loved it.

Mi hija de 5 y mi hijo de 3 me dicen: “mamá pon el video del agua sucia” jajaja corren por sus guitarras de juguete, bailan, cantan, simulan hundirse, soy Fab tocando la batería viéndolos divertirse desde atrás. Gracias The Strokes por darme esos momentos con mis hijos. Me gustan desde que tenia 13 y me siguen gustando ahora que tengo 35🙏
Que bonito momento ha de ser! Sólo con imaginar la escena dibuja una sonrisa en mi rostro. A mi también me encanta The strokes; tienen algo diferente. Y también tengo 35. La felicito por sus buenos gustos. Saludos!
I know this song is old but I still listen to it everything. Helps me not to break in a weird way. Hope everyone who reads this “hope you are well and never forget happiness lies in you so take it by the horns and live”
Yeah. They definitely took a lot of influence from late 70s bands from the punk and glam scene like blondie, Velvet underground, t-Rex, the ramones. They pull it all together in a very original way so it still feels fresh
The very beginning reminds me of Queen’s “I Want to Break Free” but other than that, I’d say this song sounds very 90s/2000s, It literally sounds just like U2.
Yup. They got a lot of critical acclaim for that very reason. That time period of American alternative music was Limp Bizkit, Blink 182, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. The Strokes had channeled very different influences than the rest of those bands and did it well.
After all this years, I have to point out that it's still hilarious to me to watch Fab playing the drums with all he has, even when the liquid had already raised up.😆 I love so much this song, it's the one that introduced me to The Strokes nad I'm so grateful of that!
I am a more creative person naturally and in high school took all the art classes I wanted to, no care in the world then, just listened to the strokes and bands alike all the time during those classes to fuel creativity. As an adult in an engineering job I throw this on so I can go back to those days after a day of mental strain doing the opposite.
I just started listening to these guys last week, which is shameful for my age really. But they have quickly become my third favorite band, behind the mighty Floyd and Zeppelin.
Lol Is This It? Is one of my favorite albums but I cant really get into their music after Room On Fire but maybe they can throw together another great album perhaps. Who Knows?
John Cantatore I know what you mean, they definitely changed their sound after ROF. I'd check out the song Gratisfaction from their album Angles. It sounds more like classic Strokes.
qafqr asgag I do. I've got over 200 bands' full discography. It's just taken me time to get to this band. It's not like they're that famous and well known that I would have heard about them much.
inglishbulldog Were you around in the 2000's? Because at least in Europe, they were one of the most popular bands at the time. I find a bit hard to believe that you had never heard of them...
Lyrics: Some people think they're always right Others are quiet and uptight Others, they seem so very nice-nice-nice-nice, oh Inside they might feel sad and wrong, oh, no Twenty-nine different attributes Only seven that you like, oh-oh Twenty ways to see the world, oh And twenty ways to start a fight, oh Oh don't, don't, don't get up I can't see the sunshine I'll be waiting for you, baby 'Cause I'm through Sit me down Shut me up I'll calm down And I'll get along with you Oh, men don't notice what they got Oh, women think of that a lot One thousand ways to please your man, oh Not even one requires a plan, I know And countless odd religions too It doesn't matter which you choose, oh, no One stubborn way to turn your back, oh This I've tried and now refuse, oh Oh don't, don't, don't get up I can't see the sunshine Oh, I'll be waiting for you, baby 'Cause I'm through Sit me down Shut me up I'll calm down And I'll get along with you Alright Shut me up, shut me up And I'll get along with you
for me, the video symbolizes life as it is, short, with no time to think. just act, and leave your legacy. which is kind of the message of the song. this track is amazingly well written by Julian who is able to make a quick though accurate description of modern life as we know it. I love it
The only songs I don’t like are née York city cops and like another one from the first album. Angles was pretty weak too but I love almost all their songs. I can’t wait to see what they have next in storr
@@2MchKrma rlly wow well I rlly love new york city cops the guitar in it and in my opinion i like how it misfitted with Julians voice, the same I'm super excited because ik they never disappoint
This song makes me feel like I am teenager again and I'm just care free and stupid and madly in love with a crush who's actually a douche but I continue dancing in my room with my converse and shoe strings and bangs flying in the wind, singing into my hairbrush with posters of The Strokes, The Killers, and The Kinks all over my room.
I feel the same way about the Cure Disintegration. A 40 yr old wailing about his 20 yrs ago crush (pictures of you) I love you Mindy! Don't tell my wife 😀
This summer i have been finding new bands by listening to new albums and i am so happy that i found them 😊 they are definitely my favorite band that i started listening to this summer
SABÍAS QUE: El estanque en el que se grabó el video de "You Only Live Once" de #TheStrokes representa los pulmones de los miembros de la banda y el líquido que los ahoga lentamente mientras tocan, es el alquitrán del cigarro llenando sus pulmones. Julian Casablancas declaró respecto al significado del video: "People tell us all the time we're gonna die from smoking, but you only live once." “La gente nos dice todo el tiempo que moriremos por fumar mucho, pero ni modo, tú sólo vives una vez”.
I can't believe, I'm in middle school and listening to this like it just came out. While I have the time many people don't have now, I will probably be wasting all of it listening to rock legends like the strokes.
¡Pero que bello era el joven Casablanca! 😍 Recuerdo cuando vi por primera vez este video en MTV y quedé enamorada de él, tenía como 15 años, fue mi primer crush rockero. Es increíble como ha pasado el tiempo.
When I was like 3 years old my parents used to play music videos in our TV while they were cleaning. This was one of my favorite ones, I loved the song even though the video made me scared (I thought they were going to drown xD) Anyways I'm 17 now and became a fan again with The New Abnormal, so I started listening to some older songs and came across this. It brought so many memories, it was amazing :')
@@freezedriedzombi8242 most people find it even better when I say that I also remember being terrified after watching the Black Parade video at that same age/same context xD
Killer Memestar Killer Memestar .. yeah, I have old youtube playlists that go all all the way sometimes I go through them again. I was wondering why in one of my many comments that got allot of likes some guy called me a legend. Ive been listening to all kinds of music since a kid I DJ got a new playlist that got thousands of views everyone should check it out its called ( DJ Quicksilvermac) just save it if you want to have access to amazing music 24/7 I'm always updating it and just started a Facebook Page that's growing rapidly : Quicksilvermac , just click the like button. 👍
Ya no los recordaba, que nostalgia, me convertí en papá de una niña, esposo, el trabajo y...los olvidé por completo, The strokes y Julian Casablanca, años de locura.
This song is so special to me, when I was a baby and I was really fussy, my mom would put this song on and I would just laugh at the “tch tch tch tch tch” part. And every time I hear this song, I say to myself, “hey, I grew up with this song!” 😄
I remember watching this video on TV when I was nine years old. I thought the black ink was coca-cola and, I used to call it "The Coca-Cola Song" haha I've been a fan since then and, I'm 24 now. Thank you for so many great songs, @TheStrokes. Your music will live forever ✨

I’ve been listening to this band since like 2001. It’s truly awesome to see a whole new generation of kids loving them. They deserve it.
I also know them that long time, they never disappoint.
high five
I was lucky enough to see them in a small club in NY called Brownies in the winter of 1999. They sang some rough drafts of songs from This Is It which was released 2 years later. I had a feeling about them when I first saw them.
Crazy to think that I was born after that, 2003
2001! Me too! 💞
Julian's doofy dancing at "don't don't don't get up" is forever embedded in my memory. It still pops up at random times in my head.
it's so cute and innocent
I love it. I think it looks cool not goofy
“I don’t like dancing… like even watching it” -Julian Casablancas. I think I just found out why

This year was my first time watching the music video which is insane to think because I first hear the song in 2007. It is pretty cool!
Replying in 2024 to confirm!!

These guys are the soundtrack to some of the best years of my life
I feel u man i listen to these guys when i was little

Give Julian's other band The Voidz a try (also his solo record.)
Ode is an amazing song by them
Never too old to love a good band! I too was late to them about eight months ago (I'm 58), I have a few favourites, Hard To Explain is a fantastic song from their first album, but too many to mention, they're solid on every release, just a great rock band.
At the Door actually haunts me it’s so good!
Check out their early stuff it's amazing
could seriously be one of their best songs, the melody and the rhythm section are off the charts
I love to see how calm the drummer while he was the first drowning man..

LYRICS:
Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice (nice nice nice oh-ho)
Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no)
Twenty-nine different attributes
Only seven that you like (oh-ho)
Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho)
Are twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho)
(Oh, don't, don't) don't get out
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Oh men don't notice what they got
Women think of that a lot
A thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho)
Not even one requires a plan (I know)
(And) countless odd religions too
It doesn't matter which you choose (oh, no)
One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho)
This I've tried, and I refuse (oh-ho)
(Don't, don't) don't get out
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm fool
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
(Alright)
Shut me up
Shut me up
And I'll get along with you

Que bonito momento ha de ser! Sólo con imaginar la escena dibuja una sonrisa en mi rostro. A mi también me encanta The strokes; tienen algo diferente. Y también tengo 35. La felicito por sus buenos gustos. Saludos!
Wow.
que bonitos se han de ver
Nunca jamás deja de disfrutar lo que te hace feliz aunqué pasen los años
I'm in a similar boat, with a 6 year old and an 8 year old at 32, listening to them since Room on Fire
My favorite strokes song. By far. They rocked this.
I know this song is old but I still listen to it everything. Helps me not to break in a weird way. Hope everyone who reads this “hope you are well and never forget happiness lies in you so take it by the horns and live”
The Balloon (Official video), check now!
Thank you 🙏🏼
You should listen to the new you only live once by suicide silence
The strokes have this old school feel to them and I love it. They don't sound like your typical late 90s early 2000s band.
Yeah. They definitely took a lot of influence from late 70s bands from the punk and glam scene like blondie, Velvet underground, t-Rex, the ramones. They pull it all together in a very original way so it still feels fresh
The very beginning reminds me of Queen’s “I Want to Break Free” but other than that, I’d say this song sounds very 90s/2000s, It literally sounds just like U2.
@@FunkyMonk_96 they give me a very mid to late 70s punk rock vibe.
Yup. They got a lot of critical acclaim for that very reason. That time period of American alternative music was Limp Bizkit, Blink 182, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. The Strokes had channeled very different influences than the rest of those bands and did it well.
The Strokes sound like The Strokes.
No strokes were harmed in the making of this video
No hammered!!!

After all this years, I have to point out that it's still hilarious to me to watch Fab playing the drums with all he has, even when the liquid had already raised up.😆
I love so much this song, it's the one that introduced me to The Strokes nad I'm so grateful of that!
I always come here to remember how this song made me feel back when I was just a teenager. I miss that.
check out this hidden treasure song called Miss Me by The Impures
underrated
vvvvvvvvvv
I am a more creative person naturally and in high school took all the art classes I wanted to, no care in the world then, just listened to the strokes and bands alike all the time during those classes to fuel creativity. As an adult in an engineering job I throw this on so I can go back to those days after a day of mental strain doing the opposite.
And I feel that..
You can party to It. You can relax to it. You can be happy to it. You can be sad to it. Great for ALL occasions!!!!
I'm mostly sad at parties to it
That’s what’s great about the stokes
Colorshane
Yeahhh
Colorshane so true!!! It's so versatile
This era was one of my favorites in rock history. There were a lot of great bands that came out
Real
y’all white people need to get back in the garage and make generational songs again I’m tired of rap, country ,and pop lol
Name some more if you don't mind
@@forrestgump1987i second this
@@forrestgump1987 Interpol, Yeah yeah yeahs, white stripes and franz ferdinand are similar bands to the strokes that came out around the same time
This is the first song I ever heard by them and I've loved em ever since.
I am just having anxiety and depression crisis and this music makes me more calm and chill. Thank you for it.
I hope you feel better, I know how tough that can be
Me too :/ this song save my life everyday
Try going for a run o sleeping drink water ,stay close to family take some sun light eat less carbs,i wish you the best good luckk!!!
y’all listen to the Smiths too? best band ever when u need to let some of that angst out

I just started listening to these guys last week, which is shameful for my age really. But they have quickly become my third favorite band, behind the mighty Floyd and Zeppelin.
Lmao you must not listen to much music then
Lol Is This It? Is one of my favorite albums but I cant really get into their music after Room On Fire but maybe they can throw together another great album perhaps. Who Knows?
John Cantatore I know what you mean, they definitely changed their sound after ROF. I'd check out the song Gratisfaction from their album Angles. It sounds more like classic Strokes.
qafqr asgag I do. I've got over 200 bands' full discography. It's just taken me time to get to this band. It's not like they're that famous and well known that I would have heard about them much.
inglishbulldog Were you around in the 2000's? Because at least in Europe, they were one of the most popular bands at the time. I find a bit hard to believe that you had never heard of them...
100 millions for the greatest band on earth, well deserved
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
KERLOND I have been checking back every day for this yesss
Lyrics:
Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others, they seem so very nice-nice-nice-nice, oh
Inside they might feel sad and wrong, oh, no
Twenty-nine different attributes
Only seven that you like, oh-oh
Twenty ways to see the world, oh
And twenty ways to start a fight, oh
Oh don't, don't, don't get up
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Oh, men don't notice what they got
Oh, women think of that a lot
One thousand ways to please your man, oh
Not even one requires a plan, I know
And countless odd religions too
It doesn't matter which you choose, oh, no
One stubborn way to turn your back, oh
This I've tried and now refuse, oh
Oh don't, don't, don't get up
I can't see the sunshine
Oh, I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Alright
Shut me up, shut me up
And I'll get along with you
Thanks
My guy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Someone save Fab 😢
you only yolo once
you only you only live once once
RIP in peace
Rest In Peace in peace
for me, the video symbolizes life as it is, short, with no time to think. just act, and leave your legacy. which is kind of the message of the song. this track is amazingly well written by Julian who is able to make a quick though accurate description of modern life as we know it. I love it
a.k.a The Modern Age
i literally understand the definition of bedroom eyes when looking at julian
He's a magical man
If I could choose a soundtrack to my life it’d be this one for sure. I’m 14 years late, this is a gem 🩵
*18 years late lol.
I've loved this gem since I was 14. I turn 24 in January. Time flies man. :')
Carol♡ sorry to hear that :/
Carol♡ Wow, I'm actually 14 now and the Strokes have become my favorite band in recent months!
Ry Garant Don't feel sorry! Such is the way of the world, time just goes by. 😊
Your dad It's never too late to discover good music! Good luck on your musical endeavor~ 😁
yehh honey same here 😋
Fab knows the unspoken rule of not standing while playing the drums
I remember crying when I was younger about how I would never marry Julian. Hell, I still do
😂😂😂😂😂
+annika ramone haha =))
+annika ramone Yooo same
Dude I feel you on a spiritual level.
+annika ramone Me too (Now)
Ha pasado el tiempo y esta canción sigue sonando taaaaaaaan bien...!!!
❤
they have never made a bad song in their whole music career
The only songs I don’t like are née York city cops and like another one from the first album. Angles was pretty weak too but I love almost all their songs. I can’t wait to see what they have next in storr
@@2MchKrma rlly wow well I rlly love new york city cops the guitar in it and in my opinion i like how it misfitted with Julians voice, the same I'm super excited because ik they never disappoint
@@2MchKrma we gonna have a new song “we all gonna die” but idk if it’s an album or song
Come down machine : Allow us to introduce our selves
@@thiccmcchicken550 i liked that album tho
This song makes me feel like I am teenager again and I'm just care free and stupid and madly in love with a crush who's actually a douche but I continue dancing in my room with my converse and shoe strings and bangs flying in the wind, singing into my hairbrush with posters of The Strokes, The Killers, and The Kinks all over my room.
I feel the same way about the Cure Disintegration. A 40 yr old wailing about his 20 yrs ago crush (pictures of you) I love you Mindy! Don't tell my wife 😀
Word
The kinks! omg we are soulmates!
The strokes and bangs oof 😍
This comment is my spirit animal
You only yolo once

"You only you only live once once"

This summer i have been finding new bands by listening to new albums and i am so happy that i found them 😊 they are definitely my favorite band that i started listening to this summer

Es Corona oscura xD
AAJAJAJAJ
SABÍAS QUE:
El estanque en el que se grabó el video de "You Only Live Once" de #TheStrokes representa los pulmones de los miembros de la banda y el líquido que los ahoga lentamente mientras tocan, es el alquitrán del cigarro llenando sus pulmones.
Julian Casablancas declaró respecto al significado del video:
"People tell us all the time we're gonna die from smoking, but you only live once."
“La gente nos dice todo el tiempo que moriremos por fumar mucho, pero ni modo, tú sólo vives una vez”.
Vale Paz
Interesante hee!!
Baia baia :v
La traducción como el culo, pero buena info. :)
Nu ma! Años intentando comprender el video. Ahora puedo morir en paz
Buena info gracias
I can't believe, I'm in middle school and listening to this like it just came out. While I have the time many people don't have now, I will probably be wasting all of it listening to rock legends like the strokes.
time well spent
Life happens fast, bud. Enjoy your youth, but don't take it for granted. I was your age in the early 90s.
Lucky 🤣 I’m 24 I used to do the same thing like 10 years ago

Hahahahaaahahahaahahahahahahahahahha XD
have you heard of this indie band called The Impures, they have a new song out called "wasted"
dont lie, this band has never had a bad song
In fairness, Comedown Machine has a few...
I disagree, I find a few of them boring
Why the hell I didn't heard their music before, I was loosing so much
IKR SAME
i would kill to experience the strokes all over again!!
ik same, discovered them way too late
yeah.. i listened to why are sundays so depressing a year ago, and i was like "haha, funi guitar"
I love the strokes so much ❤ Julian is one of my favorite vocalists of all time
¡Pero que bello era el joven Casablanca! 😍 Recuerdo cuando vi por primera vez este video en MTV y quedé enamorada de él, tenía como 15 años, fue mi primer crush rockero. Es increíble como ha pasado el tiempo.
El mio Morrissey
Yo moría por el y Chris Cornell
Tienes q irlo a ver en concierto !!

When I was like 3 years old my parents used to play music videos in our TV while they were cleaning. This was one of my favorite ones, I loved the song even though the video made me scared (I thought they were going to drown xD) Anyways I'm 17 now and became a fan again with The New Abnormal, so I started listening to some older songs and came across this. It brought so many memories, it was amazing :')
you were born significantly cooler than us from the start
@@freezedriedzombi8242 most people find it even better when I say that I also remember being terrified after watching the Black Parade video at that same age/same context xD
@@victoriaivars3340 🎵 _"We'll carry on, we'll carry on..."_ 🎵 😎🤘
idk why but i've always thought that this sounds like a song that would play in a wedding, especially the chorus part. gonna be in mine for sure.
Wow I remember when this was 1 million views. it's good to see this gem shine.

Ayyy!
I probably account for about 3,000 of them! lol
Haha I account for probably 1Mil of them 😂 repeat 🔛
Killer Memestar Killer Memestar .. yeah, I have old youtube playlists that go all all the way sometimes I go through them again. I was wondering why in one of my many comments that got allot of likes some guy called me a legend. Ive been listening to all kinds of music since a kid I DJ got a new playlist that got thousands of views everyone should check it out its called ( DJ Quicksilvermac) just save it if you want to have access to amazing music 24/7 I'm always updating it and just started a Facebook Page that's growing rapidly : Quicksilvermac , just click the like button. 👍

You are suck arse.

indeed
It has always been and will always be my favorite video clip
This song is so special to me, when I was a baby and I was really fussy, my mom would put this song on and I would just laugh at the “tch tch tch tch tch” part.
And every time I hear this song, I say to myself, “hey, I grew up with this song!” 😄
My daughter has grown up with them as well- we are both huge fans! Saw them on mother’s day with her❤
🫶
That makes me happy that kids these days still listen to the strokes! Also you made me feel super old lol
I remember watching this video on TV when I was nine years old. I thought the black ink was coca-cola and, I used to call it "The Coca-Cola Song" haha I've been a fan since then and, I'm 24 now. Thank you for so many great songs, @TheStrokes. Your music will live forever ✨
XD the Coca-Cola song.
