12 years and still love this song.
The musicianship it requires to create a song like this is unreal, definitely one of the most talented families in the music scene.
Oh, so they really are brothers? That's so awesome!
Probably the greatest South African export right now...
@@musefanatical1te ir de vacaciones 🏕️ ir iiio😊 😅😊😊😅oñññ te amo y ooo te
So, 10 years later im just discovering this band. Idk how i missed such a gem, but I'm glad i found them
If you haven't already, check out Repeat After Me by them.
The Kongos, in any other age, would be everywhere. It's a reflection of our times that the channels are too many. People are listening to something awful (but sometimes amazing impossible inspiring); they are listening to a million things.
I love this thing. So. Tell people, get them in. This Is The Way.
Yo apenas hace unas semanas 🥺 conciertos de los que me perdí😣 estoy enojada conmigo misma😤 según yo escucho buena música y como no supe de ellos hasta apenas 🤧😭💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@ender003 Yeah, Repeat After Me is amazing. Also, Where I Belong and 2 In The Morning off of the same album. Also You Are Strange off 1929 pt2
2014 In Estonia was OneRepublic contsert. Warm-up band was KONGOS. I wisit this contsert only because of KONGOS. I just lowe them. :)
This song has a way of fitting my mood no matter what it is, it is up beat when i'm happy, it has a good base when i'm mad, it's just perfect for me however i'm feeling
Scott Catlett Your comment describes perfectly how I feel about the band and sound!
Same for me, songs like that are my favorite type. I call em flexible songs.
That's why my Replika sent me this video...
How isn't this more popular? the songs is awesome
Lina Arenas your awesome!
Lets keep this song to ourselves.
It's dark and confusing to the masses who have been drenched with happy pop music. The heavy drums + unfamiliar chord structure in the melody will give the general audience an uncomfortable thought or feeling that they dont listen to music for.
A lot of other artists are affected by this strict guideline if they're looking to appeal commercially also.
I agree
I'm 68 years old and I just love this song. I can't get enough of it. KONGOS are coming to Rochester NY and I'd love to see them but I'd feel a little out of place.
I hope that you got out there and saw them. No shame in enjoying people who can play with rythms, lyrics like KONGOS can.
yeah did you ever see them?
I went to a gig to see a Ska band from LA and one of the many things that made it enjoyable was a couple over the age of 60 standing in the crowd near the front enjoying the music with everyone else. I hope you went. The band was called 'The Interrupters' by the way.
Hey man , don’t ever feel that way ! Life is about enjoying it and doing what you like , I’d come there with you just so you can enjoy life my new friend ♥️
Id say go for it but im six years too late and youre seventy four now so you better still love this song!
am joking i have zero bearing on what you thinkof this song
There are no words good enough to describe this song.
Wolf Storm what about "life"
Orgasmic!
Does that work?
smudgy budgy NJ in TV
Netflixandjeager hypnotising
what about good
Jon Snow high as fuck playing drums in a club and shit...
haha lol
LMAO
penisjano
penisjano YAAAAAASSSSSSS
At Least Hodor learned the accordion.
I thought Come With Me Now was the best song I'd heard in a long time. This one's even better! Can't wait to hear more!!
I thought it was I’m coming, come with me lol
I know it's 8 yrs late...but have you heard "repeat after me" by kongos yet bro?
The things they're doing with the rhythm are messing with my head! Beautiful.
Just found this and can't stop listening
Just?! You're too late, but welcome😊!
Im 56 yrs. Young lady. This is one of my favorite bands of all your band is awesome! Love the drummer. Video is awesome I would have loved to have been in it I can imagine it was lots of fun!! KEEP ROCKING.
Yup it's official, after listening to 3 songs I love this band!!!
That thunderous drum beat and electronic screeching borders on mid 90s Nine Inch Nails.
How the fuck does a band with an accordion player even do that?
that's why they are awesome, they have perfected the use of the accordion
Fuckin agreed! I love this so much right now. This song has been on repeat all of today. Definitely going to get me through finals
Accordion's aren't just used in Polka music :) they're actually nice to listen to. Qawwali music uses accordions as well.. which I think they said they lean more that way with their accordion stuff..
More common now, but they do to a T
@mike m
I got into this band because of the heavy drumming, I stayed because the music is addictive, the melody & songwriting are excellent in every song! Please keep making music!!!
In 2014, KONGOS unleashed their hit, "I'm Only Joking," featuring the talents of Johnny, Jesse, Daniel, and Dylan Kongos. Shot amidst the striking landscapes of South Africa and Arizona, the video captivates viewers. Little known fact: the band's multi-instrumentalist prowess extends to the accordion, an instrument they expertly weave into their alternative rock sound.
Just can't get enough of that beat. Addicting like hell, can't help pushing replay button like that Pavlov's dog.
This sounds like Queen's of the stone age had a baby with muse. I'm not complaining, I love both bands.
Spot on bro haha
SPOT ON OMFG
The first time I heard it, I thought it was Primus until it got to the chorus.
Frederic Beaudet Damn right
I thought it sounded a tad bit like the beautiful people by marilyn manson
Found this yesterday and i can't stop listening. I love how it aged so well over these years.
I still think it's the best song ever. Rhytmic, deep, addicting, original and just dope
Love the tempo changes that preserve the genuine, tribal beat inside the catchy tune. This is seriously fun music!
it just pink elephants from dumbo
Not a 1 or 2 hit song wonder album. First time I haven't felt that way when buying a whole album in a LONG time.
Do yourself a service and check out Tom Waits. He has about 15 albums like that.
Just watched Tom doing Chocolate Jesus, that shit is DOOOOOOPE. Thanks for the heads up :)
Ac1dR3FL3X No problem. Mule Variations is an amazing album.
Check out Rain Dogs, Blue Valentines, Real Gone, Blood Money, Closing Time, Bone Machine and Small Change when you get a chance.
You won't regret a minute of it.
The first time in a long time that I have not wanted to Pirate a CD. I am buying this CD today!
you must buy shitty albums
2024 still listening to it
Конечно!
Нереально крутая музыка! Возвращаясь к этой песне через месяц-другой перерыва неизменно получаю тот же самый кайф, что и в первый раз - мурашки по телу. Просто чудо!
this song is so addicting
Ikr!!!!!!
saw them Live at Rock the shores, and I think everybody there knew Come with me now, but they definitely appreciated the others, this one especially.
Ramathorn How are they live? They seem like they would be pretty good :)
Olivia Figueras In an open Area, they were awesome. Not sure about in an arena, but I don't think it could hurt, their sound isn't to loud and it won't have unintentional Echoes.
Non Douch version, IT WAS AWESOME
i don't know how or why it really is!
where have these guys been!! rock needed these guys in the late 90s! EVERY song is amazing! "hey i dont know" is the shizz!
Art is supposed to make you feel things.. THIS IS ART!
WOW I just found this band, they sound so fresh, very very creative. I am very impressed.
Просто удивительно что гуляя по ютубу можно найти такое сокровище, как эти ребята. Жаль раньше их не знала.
Xd
я узнал о них по шансу - их песня "come with me now" играла в одном из видео Smigol Time. теперь я полностью подсел на их музыку.
WE NEED CONGOS IN POTUGAL! IN A CONCERTO OF THEIR OWN! I found them when I went to One Republic's concert and KONGOS were opening the show. Love at first sight
One of the few bands I like to call original and authentic 👌
How I'm discovering this song 9 years after it was released is beyond me!! Love it!!!
I just discovered it yesterday
i just discovered it now😂
Same
What a fantastic sound, love it. I was getting bored with the modern music, but, i have been reawaken at the age of 61, pure magic.
IT TOOK ME SO MANY YEARS TO FIND THIS SONG
+1
Congrats!
Welcome! Better late than never 😄
The music these guys make is next level. Just non-stop chills every time I hear most of their songs. Much respect and love from me to them. This is what music is all about.
Damn, this song is so badass. I can feel a pirate vibe here, but it is also creepy.
Montefires222 boo
@@r.trooper5193 Where has the RUM gone!?
@@r.trooper5193 boo
Montefires222 EXACTLY!!
Have you seen your face?
Seriously hypnotic, and I love it!
nice
i love how this sounds like its about a psychopath who lets his insanity slip in front of others than brushes it off nothing.
I thought they were just making fun of some of the dumber conspiracy theories
jasper gaffney it’s 3 am in the morning...
Kudos to those who get the reference
Psychopaths just employ psychologists; Professionals get tv series.
Dat jasper's a SPOI
"Licking *her* chops *she* looks at the lunatics--she needs another fix."
This song won't get out of my head!!
me too?
This song's fuckin with my head
One of the new best bands ever. What happened to this dudes? We need more rock, come on. Word is full of pop and trap!
song is over a decade old :P
*8 years and I'm still listening. Anyone else?*

Still here ! 👌
Damn, 8 years already. I feel like this came out just last year.
preach brother
@@stefanvanschoor4943 hello there
This song brings so many memories. I had this on my ipod when it was free on itunes around 2013
Modern musicians that play instruments!! Real music...)
Thank the Lord!
Just "discovered" these guys. Been hungry for some "new" music (well....new at least to ME)...........but I'm frequently disappointed these days. THIS band is different....more like the stuff we had back in the 60's/70's......small wonder: his dad was a musician, too....would have been likely from that era. Lovin' these guys so far.....still learning about their songs.
@@blondwiththewind lmfao there's plenty of music with real instruments, you just don't know where to look
The way the percussion sort of stumbles between different rhythms is so intriguing.
I'm 53 and love all kinds of music, and really dig this track. I gotta grow mature, but I refuse to grow up. Y'all will see sooner than you think. GOD BLESS , crank it !
+Justin Mangion Thanks man, I'm glad someone else sees life in the same fashion I do. It's still loud and proud in my garoom, garage, but it is my space, just REALLY LOUD AND CLEAR, not cause I'm losing my hearing either, I just love all kinds of music loud and clear, it just sounds better!
Yah, well I am 57 and I love good music,loud music and I sing along whether I can carry a tune or not. I dance to it too! As I get older I do not care what others think!
We all have to "grow up" but that doesn't mean letting our inner child die along with our youth.
+Inklan Utterfield meh role model xD
LOL... I'm 60+ and love this stuff ;)
The drum riff on this is fantastic.
Drums are just outstanding!
I like this band so much.
2019, you can feel it. The taste and tenor has changed, the future is brighter and getting brighter. The pall that hung over us in 2011 has broken, and the future is getting better and better.
I feel like my blood's gonna boil coz of the beat😍 its mezmerizing!!💓
Классная песня. Одна из самых любимых.
Repeat after me помощнее будет;)
Energetisch, kreativ, außergewöhnlich, sehr hörenswert!
you guys have no idea how good this song is
9 years late I finaly find this gem of a song...
The Best Music of Kongos 🇿🇦🎸
They so need to come to.Chicago!!!!
Yea I've been hearing this alot on Q87.7. Thank God for that station! With Q101 gone thats really the only station to hear good new music like this
They are amazing, have you listened to any of their other songs???? I am in love with them!!!
You have answered the calls of My Peoples!!!
I actually sent a tweet to Q87.7 the other night!! They said they are working on it!!!!! :
)
yes chicago! yes q87.7!
Trust me totally amazing live !
One of my most favorite ever..i,m 6! and have seen hundreds of bands ,this group are stunning ,so unique,so loud and live they are sensational ,their energy is incredible ,all genres of music from rock ,reggae to rap ,the guitars make most death metal players wish they could play that chord that loud ,the rapping is so much fun,such an incredible band ,thank you for an amazing night in London ,with 500 strangers ,40 degrees inside ,the different instruments ,it was tribal ,Long live Kongos ,please return to the UK !
youre....six?
???????
What the hell I,m 61 ,what are you smoking ,I,m only joking lol !
Punctuation is atrocious but meh.
Reread the your original post. Instead of a one you've got an exclamation mark. Which are used to emphasise a point.
Knowing this most people will read it as "I am 6" With an exclamation to emphasise the number instead of 61.
So please if you're going to state that people are smoking something please ask yourself that because you most be smoking something to fuck up the punctuation that much.
So sorry , I suppose you are Putin , a perfectionist !
У этих парней одна песня лучше другой. Просто блеск!
You know, that you are good, when Jon Snow is your drummer
you know nothing Jon Snow... excepect how to play TF out of those drums
I never noticed that before!
How is Jesse Kongos the same person as Kit Harington?
Did you know that you can make a new tab without losing the page you are on? Now with this new tab you could do really crazy things like perhaps google who the fucking drummer is, google who plays Jon Snow, and learn what it feels like to not be wrong.
Wesley_E he is Only Joking :p
@@STLshark2013 chill man. It was just a cunting joke.
I'm addicted to this song, the beat is like drunken pirates banging beers on the tables love it
Their dad produces them, sometimes does backup vocals. August 6, 1945, a month and 3 days younger than me. People our age playing this great music, we are right at home going to their concerts.
When I watched them Live in South Africa it was amazing... I live here in South Africa 🇿🇦 and watched them play live in Durban city. Oh yes, South Africa is their hometown ^^
This song is so fuckin cool, I love how the drums switch up constantly. It makes it sound unnerving.
I love how they constantly changing up shit.....love this band
+Louis Bloom lube
+todooeoeo ha you know what I fucking meant hahah
Immer noch und immer wieder , kongos eine tolle Band.
Still one of the best music videos I've seen, 5 years later . And that hypnotic drum beat, omg... Used to watch this all the time.
you guys make my driving job easier. chicago, southside LOVE
Q87.7 showed me this.
thank you q87.7 chicago's alternative :D reminds me of queens of the stone age a bit. awesome!!
SAME HERE! \m/
same here :)
They're on 101.1 now as well, which makes me happy that Q101.1 will be back :)
Hudson Akridge
Its actually not Q101, just another company trying to put an alternative station there. They are fighting to get them to reinstate Q101, but thankfully some sort of alternative music is back at that station.
same here on 101.1 Hoffman estates yup yup
When these guys opened for Linkin Park in South Africa it was amazing!!!!
Thematically, the chorus lyrics fit well with the groove. "I'm just fucking with your head" is emphasized by the time signature changing from 7/4, to 9/4 (or at least has that feel, but could also just be consistent 4/4), finally resolving with 6/4. Additionally, I love the drum groove breakdown where the rhythm was switching back and forth between swing and straight. It's a shame this song doesn't get as much attention as their "hit". This song is much more interesting musically speaking
It's super cool! It actually stays in 4/4 the entire time (even for the cuts near the end of the song), but you're spot on about the swing/strict rhythm.
Yeah the whole song is 4/4, but the drums stop syncopating a couple times. Freaked me out my first listen.
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Maxton Fletcher Instablaster =)
@Jesus Alex thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
The bearded guy chilling on the couch looks like a guy I want to be friends with
Definitely, it looks like a friend of mine that runs one of my favorite clubs (well, less of a friend, more of a business associate, but still, he, like the guy in the video, both look like incredibly fun, awesome, laid-back and easy going people... that you would not want to fuck with in any way shape or form, heheh)
He looks like he's sellin something I want to buy.
He is missing Duke and Codfish.
At 1:41.
***** Fuck ya
Saw them in 2018 and they closed with this song. I recorded the whole song and uploaded it here on my other account. Love these guys. Great music.
The best (and only) country/rock/world music band with a supermodel as frontman.
Anyone else just play 'Lunatic' playlist on repeat? I listen to these 12 songs for like 6 hours at a time!
This song is insane. These guys are so good and unique sounding! I listen to them whenever I'm writing in my new book, it's that inspiring. I hope they stick around for years to come with this kind of talent.
I think I have found my new favourite band :)
Love them ... atmospheric rock
Still loving it.
This song is great I love the beat! I love that this band uses other instruments unlike most bands out there, that's awsome!!!
Exactly! I love the various musical instruments used too. Mostly I just love the drum beats. So damn catchy! :)
Yeah this band has a great drummer
I agree, a great drummer indeed. :)
I heared this on one of the online radios I listen and totally loved it! Enjoy!
and the obsession begun.... Kongos are no joke
I adore this band!!!! This song is one of my favorites!!! Lots of love from SA!!
Superb, I love how the drum beats shifts around towards the end
I love that song 😍❤
This song has been hands-down my favourite song from you guys ever since I first heard it.
full volume on headphones - AWESOME!!
i"m not joking - perkusja is the best. Greting from Poland
Just you know, the song starts at around 0:36
This should be top comment
Maciej Rutkowski
Unless you're too impatient to wait 30 seconds it doesn't really matter.
Browns Fan this is 2017, the only people who aren't impatient are dead...
I just press 1 so it jumps 1/10th of the video, it's about right.
where has this band been all of my life
Felicitaciones chicos, nada más que decir muy buena banda, por fin una banda nueva, que rescata esencia de lo clásico, Saludos desde Colombia
I use to tease my mom for this song being here favourite as I’m just a dumb kid into hiphop music, ever since she passed away on 2018 I really now understand the art she saw within this song
Одна из моих любимых песен! Уносящая за пределы мироздания 🌌
Ooh i'm so happy to rediscover this music, i used to listen it a lot, it's the first song i heard from this band. Since that moment i never stopped listening their other songs, but i forget this one.
Love the meter change, genius.
ikr! ! it was like, frekin smart! amazing musicicians
+Whitney Garrison I am sorry to be the music nerd, but I believe that the meter is a constant 4/4 pattern. Instead, the accents are put on the "ands" of the beats (in the transition). It still creates a great effect and is smart since this is meant to be a dance piece and 4/4 is the most common dance meter today. This allows for an interesting and different sound, but still comfortable for people to dance and listen to with today's norms.
If you don't believe me than count to 4, over and over, throughout the song. You should notice that it stays like that. I personally did this to make sure that I didn't say anything stupid.
Haha I totally believe you. I am a music major but rhythm is my weakness so thanks for telling me! I love to learn something new.
tapping on my laptop everytime i listen to this song
I heard this on 94.7 for the first time a couple days ago. Is anyone else here because the radio brought them here? Radio isn't dead! :D
NO FREAKING WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS THING !! I'M IN LOOOVE WITH IT
Kongos, I love this song! One of my favorites! ❤️
The percussions sounds ¡AMAZING!
this deserve more popularity
Don't feel bad I'm 77 I won't feel out of place especially if a 68 year old loves their music, too.
Played with this guys! never thought they get so big! played 910 live Arizona with them! great band very happy for them!
that's awesome!
