Music video by Tame Impala performing Elephant. (C) 2012 Modular Recordings
Man the drummer Kevin Parker is so good. I also love their guitarist Kevin Parker, but while the bass is pretty good and Kevin Parker is very talented. The vocals by Kevin Parker are the best part by far

Kevin Parker did all the parts by himself in the studio.
He is his own band
My father heard this and said he didn't remember hearing this particular song back in the late 60's when he was in his early 20's. He was surprised to know that the lead singer - Kevin Parker - is even younger than I am. That's how good these guys are; my dad thought they were an old psychedelic 60's band that he'd forgotten about during Woodstock.
The lead singer is actually the one who writes and plays all of the instruments on the albums, the rest of the band is only for live shows
Sounding like it’s an old song doesn’t necessarily mean the song will be good. It could be absolute trash and sound like the sixties. Not that this particular song is bad, just that your reasoning why it’s good is wrong
@@books2438 odds of songs sucking back then is significantly smaller than them sucking now. And even if that wasn’t the case, the biggest difference is in theme. Back then, songs could speak of anything. Now, 90% of them speak of sex.
Absolutely, so powerful and strong lyricists and melody makers. They really encapsulated the '70s psych rock sound deftly without sounding trite. Very authentic and real. They could have had anyone fooled!
@@books2438 meh
I love how the bass and drums thud along like it’s an elephant walking
can you justify your comment with the name of the song\(๑╹◡╹๑)ﾉ♬
You want Dinosaurs
@@karina271 hahaha yes
I love how the bass and drums thud along like it' s an elephant walking.
I love how the bass and drums thud along like it’s an elephant walking.
Tame Impala is so good, Kevin Parker’s decade old songs get covered and they get #1 in the hottest 100.
Thanks wiggles,I have a new band to discover!!!!!
I like the Wiggles' version better!!
@@bcgibson22 are you 5 years old?
@@AJ-oj5eu I like the Wiggles’ version better as well they smashed it it’s not surprising that they topped Triple J’s Hottest 100 I actually voted for them sometimes a cover version of song can sound better than the original version and the version that topped the Hottest 100 is a perfect example of that
@@59771006 the wiggles are a children's band. I assume you are a grown up? If so , you and people like you, need to start acting like one, before it's too late for the world.
music video producer: what colours do you want?
tame impala: *yes*
“ALL OF THEM”
the singer to the editor:dude you ever been on acid? thats what we want
The editor: No...
Singer: Well! Now is time to!
Elli loves pizza hahah
2019?
Really heavy bass is what makes this song rock.
Dolan Kang That and the excellent psychedelic tangent the song takes @ 1:10 to 2:44
Guitar is actually what makes that bass sound because of how much fuzz its using
All going to tape, just past the red. That has a lot to do with it.
Listen to 7Horse meth lab zoso sticker and Numb by Gary something
the bass is like magic, never stops , keeps going.
The first time I heard Tame Impala was 2015. Elephant was on the radio. I assumed it was some John Lennon deep cut I had never heard. I pulled over and googled "John Lennon elephant song" and then laughed my ass off when I learned it wasn't him. Then I discovered one of my favorite bands ever.
A lot of people think it’s a John Lennon song
This song was an experience live! Loved it! It felt like a psychedelic dream. Best show I have ever seen live!
Right, that's what I feel with this kind of music. Psychedelic vibes
Yes!!! Live is amazing
The music video looks exactly how I thought it would look after hearing the audio. Something infectious about that bassline. We don't need choruses when the bassline hits THAT GOOD
We need more music like this today
If you like adventurous music without a chorus, check out Metropolis Part I by Dream Theater.
Yea eighth note droning is fabulous and super infectious
You're gonna LOVE the original Dr Who theme then....
Bbng classics even some demarco and soy Pablo can take me away without lyrics
I can't explain how incredible this song and album is while tripping
Ted Gallegos haha, no, please do explain!
Ted Gallegos yeah, but so is most stuff. I have some curtains you absolutely must try.
I can only imagine brother
its fucking great. first time i was introduced to them i was tripping. love my woke friends
Don't get me started on the music video
The Rickenbacker guitar and the Hofner bass are just a wonderful delight haha
"He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac 'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back"
My favorte part, it sounds so fucking smooth ...
sounds like: "cause he doesn't LI Ki LU Ki LI Ki LU back"
+Le gros Tas Since i heard it, that has been one of my all time favourite lines
Le gros Tas - mine too!
Kevin said in an interview it's his favorite line he's written.
@@starsareangels what interview is that?
Cause of of the repeating l
saw an old guy throw a pool ball into someone’s head in a bar today and they were playing this song
how's ya mum?
Fookin lazer sights..
But what comes next, my dear sons, is from God's mouth, to your ears. And I will make it hurt for the rest of your miserable fookin lives! Then, an angry old British man beats up 3 guys
Hey Rook, I need fooking help, come back to the QG ! I hate this korean girl !
Just looking to score a "8 ball" ..
1:13 is the greatest sound this band has ever concocted
tama impale my beloved
This is sick as hell. Like their newer stuff is great but this is a instant classic. What a gem
Their?
@@PadreDePato Tame Impala is a group, the main man is Kevin Parker lol
@@zubairaslami1018It’s not. The band is just for shows. Tame Impala is just Kevin Parker.
@@turbomegafast oh yeah mb, i always thought it was just the "Currents" album he produced individually
Finally! I've found a current band with that late 60s/early 70s psychedelic rock vibe that I love! I'm so pumped to listen to the rest of their music!!
Try Kyuss
Brian Jones Town Massacre
I know right!
💀
try Boogarins
It's like John Lennon was resurrected and featured as a surprise celebrity at a rave concert..priceless
For real tho. It sounds like him
I didn't know I wanted that to happen now.
Definitely John Lennonesq
KEVIN PARKER IS JOHN LENNON’S REINCARNATE
not really. Why even compare it?
Great to see someone like Parker to recreate the psychedelic music of the 60s I grew up with. Parker is a musical genius to blend so many diverse sounds.Really mind bending.
It's all about those backbeat "YEAAA-" sound clips.
When you're on acid but you need to make a music video
+Scott Grijalva ZINGER
+thevraptor mfw
Lol, literaly every song I listen to, there are people in the comments, making jokes about drugs, thinking how original they are.
lololol
Irene García lololol
Listening after hearing the Wiggles cover on like a version. Wiggles absolutely smashed it!
Me too
Yesss
Fruit salad
Smashed it like mashed potatoes !!
Same here. Wiggles did an amazing cover
What's so cool about this, is that this song is around 15 years old and they just started using it for a car commercial! Classics never die! They live forever!
One of the most underrated songs to this day!
Ok, so just heard this for the first time, and am trying to remember when I've ever needed to hear a song like this more. It's good to know that music will never die
✨ *LYRICS* ✨
Well, he feels like an elephant
Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it
He knows that you're dreaming about being loved by him.
Too bad your chances are slim
And it's not like mister shook to get shy when they ask him who is on top
There must be something deep down in the dark down there
He's not too easily scared
He's got friends but they got fear
Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared
Oh, look see there he is now coming down the stairs
Here he comes
He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac
'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back
He talks like his opinion is a simple fact
Somebody grabbed his collar
He cried the whole way home
No one been remembered a thing when they saw him again
That's how it is 'til the end
Yeah
💯🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol I feel it
Thank you very much
That line about the mirrors gets me every time.
You forgot the bit that goes "fruit salad, yummy yummy".
you forgot the bridge where they go FRUIT SALAD! YUMMY YUMMY
Sounds like if zeppelin and floyd came together and got John Lennon to sing
With a little Black Sabbath chucked in for good measure.
and add a little sprinkle of Kyuss on top of it
cream?
No, I prefer it black, like my men.
and for the drum the white stripes or jack white
Now I can’t wait for Tame Impala to cover “Big Red Car”!🚗
Love that line "he pulled the mirrors of his Cadillac because he doesn't like it looking like he looks back"
Honestly just here checking to see if tame impala did the 'fruit salad yummy yummy' part that the wiggles did
I’d say I’m disappointed but it’s actually a cool song regardless
I was half expecting it here 1:10
They didn't need to, because this is the original version. The Wiggles covered it and spliced "Fruit Salad" (one of the Wiggles songs) into it.
Ummm... I wasted my time checking wiggles... This is not about the music is it? This is like Puddles singing MCR >:-(
Shouldn't be bitch and use other people's words, don't you got your own?
sounds like that one wiggles song
Take your Like and get out 😂
They forgot that fruit salad bit though
yummy yummy
😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Psychedelic Rockabilly!!!
this is like psyched/stoner rock mixed with electronic pop and it's amazing
i just wanna point some stuff out, the bassist uses a paul mcartney bass, the guitarist uses a john lennon 60's style guitar, the drummer uses a jazz setup kinda drum set kinda like ringo, the singer sounds alot like john lennon and they are clearly on acid
I thought he sounded a lot like John Lennon too when I first listened to them but now Kevin just sounds like Kevin and John sounds like John. I see the similarities though
yeah man
girl*
lul
What if i tell you all of them are the same guy
I saw tame impala live last night for the first time. This song is on a whole other level when you can actually feel the music in your body.
Never heard this...only recently off of a commercial. I'm a bug 70's glam fan is this has it written all over it. I hear T-Rex & Sweet in this for sure.
My friend Alistair just sent me this and I like it
YOOOO DANBULL LUV UR VIDS BRO
Holy shit Dan, I used to blast Minecraft creeper rap Ironically as a late teen. Thankyou for the memories.
OMG Danbull wsg
shoutout to Alistair
Alistair is the friend we all need
His voice reminds me of John’s and he even plays a Rickenbacker.
Same lmaooo
And that violin bass tho
The bass sounds abit like late Abbey road Paul
Thatcher is officially the most badass member on rainbow
I was going to disagree, but yeah, you're right
As a Thatcher main I am obligated to agree, although if they make any new cinematics they'll probably also make those operators badass as fuck.
Danny AP TACHANKA
how have i found this on a tame impala video lmao i actually had to check what i was watching xd
He always was ;)
Im here because of a Lexus commercial, I've actually been hearing this song for years but never knew the name or who it was by l, but now I do!
Bro you don’t know tame impala it’s sad
@@TeyanThuny I know tame impala but I didn't know this song was by them
Magical mystery tour meets Daf punk
i don’t think my soul will ever recover from this song- its so amazing
His music just speaks to my soul
If the Beatles had carried on into the 70's...
yes!
I was sorta thinking Pink Floyd when the synthesizers kicked in
Richard McLean have a listen to Gotta Be Above it by Tame Impala
+FocusReborn to me this sounds like John Lennon in the late 60's
ELO kinda did that FocusReborn. Referring to Electric Light Orchestra
‘He tore the mirrors off his Cadillac, cos he doesn’t like it looking like he looks back’ is one of the best lyrics ever written in my view 👏🏼
I remember my friend never liked taking music recs from people cause he was always disappointed. he also played bass and i told him to check out tame impala and specifically this song and he told me he instantly fell in love and thanked me for showing it to him. The band was fairly new at the time as well , this album had just dropped.
This sounds like it was released in 1972
It even looks like
that's the best of this album, sounds so latest sixties, from another dimension
Thats why its so great
tis' why it's so good!
It’s like there’s a string tied between current time and the 70’s it’s wild
The Alternative radio station where I live is OBSESSED with this song.
Me too
everyone should

Australia has a new marijuana anthem. It's pretty cool.
This gets played 5 times a day _minimum_ on JJJ
I love this song that the fact that when I played The Crew 2 one of my favorite games, I heard this song and I couldn’t resist listening to this again ❤
This is the song and album that got me into Tame Impala in the first place. Still rad.
easily his most underrated song
This is one of his most popular songs
Huh
hmm The Less I know The Better seems popular than this one
Tanya Fullerton Migil said it’s ONE OF his most popular songs not THE most popular song
Yeah lol this song is really popular out of his it’s not underrated at all. I would say runway house city clouds is the most underrated out of his songs
Lying to you
Syd Barret would be in heaven with y’all’s music
@Hamza Floyd As well as Lou Reed of The Velvet Undergound
Syd was years, ages and centuries above this
@@jrjr1628 Lou did experimental rock, but something completely different to PSychedelic rock
@@db10632 Syd wasn't.
@@richsackett3423 was
Please someone talk about this drop 2:10 I just can’t describe how incredible it was for me. I felt I just lifted up.
So Lennon!
These guys are amazing.
0:00 The Beatles Sound (Abbey Road era)
Vocals lennon style
2:14 Pink floyd ("one of these days" bass style)
1:15 Pink floyd( "any colour you like" synth style)
Con toque de money en ocaciones
@@danielMMartinez0 exacto como por esta parte 1:38
Believe it or not it’s actually a guitar with a bunch of pedals in one sound
That sounds nothing like any color you like
@@danielMMartinez0 se parece más al Lennon de el Sgt peppers
In all honesty the first time hearing this song I truly thought it was a unreleased ,remixed ,enhanced ,archived , long lost Beatles track. Swear to god!
Well this song suddenly got a new lease on life!
Seriously, Ryan… where are the leases of life from? My wife and I heard Roll Over Lay Down by Status Quo and she said “that sounds like Tame Impala”. That’s why we’re here.
@@alihart the wiggles did a cover over it for like a version. That’s how I got to this song.
@@scoogsy thx
This song is like taking all the stupid things I've done while intoxicated and play them in my head, and it's beautiful
I heard this song in a commercial and could not for the life of me figure out what it was and spent hours searching fruitlessly, and now here we are, and I'm so relieved to have finally found it. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
Isabella Arseneault in which commercial does this song come out in?:o im glad you found kevin parker, aka tame impala
@@shrmpizza8660 in Blackberry Z10 commercial
he sounds just like john lennon omg
POV: You came back for 1:05
I heard this song 5 years ago somewhere and been searching for it ever since. FINALLY FOUND IT!!! It's like finally scratching that itch that's been bothering you all day
seeing Tame live honestly ranks up there as one of my greatest life experiences
After seeing him in LA this year at the hollywood bowl I dont think Ive ever listen to him more. HE SOUNDS AMAZING LIVE. Identical. The show AMAZING
My favorite show of all time personally
More music needs to be made like this.
I'm here because Kevin Parker is a genius
0:21 that little face Kevin makes for half a second gets me everytime
Fruit salad! Yummy, yummy!
Hmmmm this is extremely bizarre,
Back in 1988 I had a band called Tame The Elephant, and we had a song called "Impala"
and another song called "Nova"
Both songs were titled after a fellow band member's two cars
And this is my first time ever hearing of this band or this song.
My mind is blown
wat
Coincidences do not exist in this world, this is your son who traveled to the past to be able to create and bring to recognition what your band could not achieve.
@@ghillb1625lmao
I remember feeling anticipatory nostalgia when listening to this on the radio and seeing them open for the Arctic Monkeys at Finsbury Park in London. Love this song, it never gets old ❤
Here cos the wiggles. I loved lachys voice and the keys! They smashed it!
Lennon sounding vocals, hofners, ricks, I like this band
First time I heard this song, I though it was a Beatles or John lennon solo song that I had somehow never before heard.
Wow cant believe Tame Impala covered one of my favorite Wiggles songs!
*This Just In: Local British Man is Too Angry to Die*
Fookin' Yes!
Police said that this man is too damn angry
Local tourist says that this man was not crazy than a man in Florida who they call Florida man
How many fokin laser sights
5000
And what happens next my good sons, is from God’s mouth, to your ears. And I’ll make it hurt for the rest of your miserable fooking lives!
he is australian
Bet he feels like an elephant
Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it
You know that you're dreaming about being loved by him
Too bad your chances are slim
And it's not like Mr. Shock
To get shy when I ask who always is on top?
There must be something deep down in the middle down there
He's not too easily scared
He's got friends but they got the feeling
Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared
Oh, look, see there he is now coming down the stairs
(Here he comes)
He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac (yeah)
'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back
He talks like his opinion is a simple fact
Somebody grabbed his collar
He cried the whole way home
He won't remember a thing 'til it starts again
That's how it is 'til the end (yeah)
(Here it comes)
+Jeffery Lebowski bwaaaaa
Lots of mistakes, why didn't you just copy the proper lyrics? They are out there...
Good lyrics hey...
just leave that 420 alone
Does anyone else think it has black sabbath sounds?
Will I be the only one?
I am very impressed that it has influences from 70's metal.
That's the first thing that came to mind.
Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy brought me here. Never thought those words would ever be written!
My generations “Come Together” also because he sounds like John Lennon.
1:13 is magical
More music needs to be made like that.
Muy estilo Beatles 🥵
Fruit salad....yummy yummy.
Fruit salad yummy yummy
Poop salad....yucky yucky
Stop spamming!
Best cover of The Wiggles song I’ve heard so far. This band going somewhere
this is the original song.
the wiggles did a cover of it lol
@@ella9727 no they didn't, the wiggles were the original creators
@@ella9727 i feel like there's a funny reddit thing I can put here 🤔
@@HummusIsHome r/woooosh?
@@samuraiondo no. go on the vid where the wiggles did it. it says its a COVER OF TAME LMPALA!!
This sounds like if the Beatles still made music today
This song slaps so fucking hard. I can't get enough
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more fruit salad, yummy yummy.
Incredible song! I love that these Indie bands are bringing back different styles; blues rock, psychedelic and the like. It's interesting! Plus, Tame Impala's body of work is impressive!
The bars at 2:16 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫 *floats into another dimension*
Lets All Take A Moment To Appreciate How Close This Sounds To A Beatles Song.
Yeah
Okay but this dude sounds just like John Lennon and I’m in love with this
Biggest tune at the Tame Impala gig last week in London. The crowd loved it!
3:08; You robbed Canned Heat’s ‘Rollin’ & Tumblin!’ 😆
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like this
FAR OUT!! The wiggles won triple Js hottest 100 for 2021 with this song.
This song makes me feel like I'm listening to a cover of something classic rock. Amazing
the beatles on acid
This guy is a fucking legend. The way he controls brain waves through art is a masterpiece.
A real ear gambler this guy is. He knows what he's doing.
I want to see more of his masterpieces. I want new songs of this guy. Keep up the great awesome work bro.
Nibil Thomas you know who more of a legend? THATCHER
Showed my history teacher this song in 8th grade and he absolutely fell in love with tame impala after
I smoked so much pott to this song as a teen such nice times.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG. I hear Beatles. I hear Pink Floyd. Emerson Lake and Palmer. Mike Oldfield. TAME IMPALA.
I swear this song was on an Australian commercial
SAME ??? i can’t really remember which commercial tho? i feel like it was an ad for an Apple product
peachangels I think it was a Mazda commercial
German too
They are an Australian band so...
Blackberry
“He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac, cause he doesn’t like it looking like he looks back” has to be one of the hardest bars of all time
saw tame impala live in the begining of this year and he opened with his song. Kevin Parker is a genius of our generation fr
