So I saw The Dodos tonight. FANTASTIC SHOW. After they played this song, I mustered up the courage to ask Meric about the video and what it meant. I asked, "Can you tell us about the video for that song?". He replied, "What do you want to know?". All I could think of to say was "What the fuck?". He laughed and then told me that he would talk to me about it after the show was over. He didn't :( but it was still really funny.
When they started playing this song at a concert my brother went to, my brother and his friend screamed COMPANIONS at the top of their lungs. Meric almost stopped playing because he was laughing so hard.
June Springer nah... it sounds kinda selfish but if this amazing artwork get more attention... those basic people start making this band to a stupid trend... I'm awful but to be honest... The Dodos deserve more respect not attention....
The Twilight Zone has an episode based around what goes on here. It's about a woman driving and she keeps passing the same hitchhiker and he keeps wanting to get into her car, but she refuses each time, and continuously he appears at each stop, smiling and asking for a ride. Very creepy episode.
Os anos passam, e essa banda fica cada vez mais marcante, eu não poderia dizer que meus dias de paz estão longe dos The Dodos. Uma influência pra vida.
This video isn't about smoking cigarettes at all. Its about how freakin' sick Meric's mustache is. Obviously after the video ends his mustache flies off, knocking that guy unconscious, frees Meric from being tied up, then conveniently lands back on his face.
@PerryHacksApples eh its an ok tab, he plays the first note twice each time, not just the once that you tabbed, only its slightly muted. Play the first note with your thumb while muting the string with your index finger and immediately play the same note with said index finger to achieve the effect Meric is using.
why on earth if i'm watching the dodos, youtube thinks it's ok to link me lady gaga? that pointless banner totally spoiled the atmosphere -.- back to the music...yay! new vid! love the b-horror movie set :)
Soo, if you haven't uploaded it to Ultimate Guitar yet how does it have 4.7 out of 5 already? And would it kill you to just be nice and upload it without people having to like this post, if you really did tab it out.
there is another band called "The Dodoz" not as good, but i feel they should change their name because it is disrespectful to the fans and to the band.

This song is absolutely amazing. It deserves much more attention.

this is probably my favorite record off of the new album, I'm glad they made it their next music video

Masterpiece.

+LookMender Puts acho que eu nunca tinha encontrado brasileiros que gostem de Dodos.
Po! Nem eu! Ae! hahahaha, somos um pequeno time. Queria muito que viessem ao Brasil, ver um show deles ia ser foda!
e eu pensando que estava sozinho nessa tb kk bom encontrar mais br que gosta :)
Uma delicia
Brasileiros que curtem The dodos. Salve!
I don´t know why I love this video so much. It´s so simple but it feels so melancholic.
this needs more views!
words cant express how much i love this song. it has helped me through hard nights.
Esses caras tocam muito
Oh wow, only now have I listened to this through headphones, and the deep percussion is wonderful.
+Flora Miles the percussion of the dodos is always so beautiful !! :)
such an amazing album
The awesome guitarist from Women. RIP

I'd swear this was a Clickhole article.
This song is like riding a pony with Wayfarer glasses...
This song was so good it gave me chills. Strange, not usually a fan of the Dodos stuff.
i'm in love with meric.
"rough road"
OLHA NOIS AQUI TRAVEIS!

the dodos never fail to amaze me
2 years now, bro.
Mercury Cougar. I think about a 1968. (I have a '69 mach1 stang)
Carl H i have a volvo s90
wow, only 415 views so far!
also ive been watching too many music videos with cliffhanger endings, ughh I'm always so unsatisfied! explaination plz
@SatanMadeMe its meant to show him holding a cig, then not, then holding again. thats the whole idea of the vid is that its trippy
meric and those darn boots.
It´s the fucking coffee
Can't spell America without Meric
@ultrashuai Maybe it was throwing the butt out the window. Littering leads to bad things.
LOL Serial Killer Bo 😂
@PerryHacksApples its also wrong, you fail to mention the three finger tremelo picking he uses to make this sound this way.
"in the mouth of madness" anyone?
Everytime I watch this video, I'm sure that I'll understand it more: but instead, I just get more and more creeped out.
Wonderful song, though :)
Watch confidence to see sweet revenge
@PerryHacksApples i mean the notes are right..
wasnt even close to finishing that cigarette
Pretty sure that guy was supposed to be his future self. But that's just a guess.
@PerryHacksApples i agree with shadow :) post please
@PerryHacksApples where da tabs at
what car is he driving? It's cool..
Mercury Cougar.... 1968?
See what happens when you smoke, kids...
Karma for throwing his cigarette out the window I guess
is that logan at 0:18???
and are those filtered lucky strikes?!
It's like he's in Twin Pecks or something.
what kind of car is that?
CLICK ON: disccentury, MY MUSIC, NEVER SEEN
why on earth if i'm watching the dodos, youtube thinks it's ok to link me lady gaga? that pointless banner totally spoiled the atmosphere -.-
back to the music...yay! new vid! love the b-horror movie set :)
WHY?? JUST TELL ME WHY !!??
Watch the video for “confidence” to see the second half of the story.
Soo, if you haven't uploaded it to Ultimate Guitar yet how does it have 4.7 out of 5 already? And would it kill you to just be nice and upload it without people having to like this post, if you really did tab it out.

carma police
fuck opening a door, pull 'em out the window
Whhaaaat???
I'm so confused at the end, why does he have a rope?
He had an animal on the end, and let it loose on the man.
Oh... thats sad :/ thanks for replying though
Nathan Chesshir haha no problem, the end is weird and yea sad, but I really like the whole video, it's odd and the song is amazing:)
Yeah I only found this song only a couple of weeks ago and I can't stop listening to it. It has a bitter-sweet melody to it, I love it

what the hell was it a racoon?
11111111111
creepy
ok....um...yea..... i dnt get it
haha what the hell.
Sam Raimi approves this video!
@TheBerserkFaeces No such thing.
Ok, that was weird.
Meric, please be a good boy and get rid of that mustache. Thank you.
The mustache suits perfectly on him.
there is another band called "The Dodoz" not as good, but i feel they should change their name because it is disrespectful to the fans and to the band.
Some stuff is just too indie.
