Daddy-O: "Extended version is longer"

I bailed after 30 seconds of the short version. Not my thing, I guess.

I knew the original Shamu. And this is no Shamu.

Is... is this that teen Metafilter all the parents have been looking for?

Probably the greatest post ever made on Metafilter.

Can't. Stop. Watching.

Also: In the extended version, there's a keyboard riff that's lifted right out of Sister Ray -- which makes me even more inclined to bounce around the house to this music with tears of gratitude streaming down my face.

It's good. I hate it in the old-man-way I should but love it 'cause it makes me think the kids are all right.

I KNOW I ran into this sometime last summer and now I can't remember where and it's driving me nuts.

I like it, tho. I mean: sideways ponytail, y'all.

This is beautiful, and something that I will never be able to create.

WAIT! WTF?! They changed their name? They used to be called Natalie Portman's Shaved Head and this was totally my jam in 2008.

I love this song way too much, and I was pretty sure that I found it here on Metafilter... turns out that I did.

I thought it was pretty fuckin' fun.

5 PM on a Sunday is maybe not the right setting for this- but if I heard it in the right time and frame of mind I would go FUCKING NUTS

Sorry, Whelkish, but this is a fail for me. I kept wanting to smack their heads together Three Stooges style throughout.

Fun. The #1 YT comment on the extended version is "cocaine is a hell of a drug". But the vid just doesn't have the cocaine feel to me. I would guess X/LSD/Shrooms provided more inspiration than coke. Or maybe the commenter means the video is like cocaine. Fun, energetic, short acting and habituating.
