the first song I ever heard by Reuben, and first time I ever saw Frank Turner... little did I know that they would both become my some of my favourite musicians :)
The rock overload occurred just as I noticed Frank Turner was in that video all along! Argh, I shoulda seen it comin'. This is a great video, by the way.
I love Reuben SO MUCH - ever since I tuned into MTV for the first time, halfway through Let's Stop Hanging Out. Guys, if you're reading this, please consider re-forming.
lol, Reggae Jerk, i just cracked up when it came up with that coz of the studio episodes when it happened, lol. This is a legendary video, and even better as you filmed half of it in the west end centre. SAVE THE WESTY!!!
I saw this performed live on friday and it is just FANTASTIC live. Jamie got us all to sing the duet bit in the crowd and the bass solo was also very funny, all in all the whole show was just such fun and I was lucky enough to be RIGHT IN FRONT OF JAMIE!! oh im a lucky girl!
glad they got frank turner in the vid, wouldn't be the same without him. they even had him come out when they played this at guilfest this year, it was awesome.
Whatever happened to these guys? I remember hearing this song on kerrang when I was about 14 and loved it. I swear it was only ever played on kerrang once and never seen again. Still a fantastic tune though.
One of the coolest songs I have ever seen... Really? Oky IT WAS DEFINITLY THE COOLEST THING I HAVE HEARD ALL DAY! Can I post it on myspace to all the girls who dont even see me!?
cool, i really like reuben, seen them a few years ago when their last album came out, they have a good stage presence, loadsa energy and really driven songs. Me likes
Soft little body Swollen by the sun Waiting for the break That he knows will never come Four brittle limbs Weak from under-use And a head full of words Long green hair Funny looking dude Big mouth on him And a wicked attitude And at first impression He must seem kind of rude But he does his best, yeah? And anyway... I want to be Just like you Get myself a job And a really cool tattoo I'm walking home Beside you Your hair is long and blonde And your eyes are both bright blue I want to be just like you In all I do Jimmy got drunk On his way to class Swinging from the roof Showed everyone his ass And if you ask him why He shakes his head and laughs "There was nothing for it" Stacy got laid Boyfriend number one! Took him to her room And had a little fun She's wearing out her voice Telling everyone And you can't ignore it And anyway... I want to be Just like you Get myself a job And a really cool tattoo I'm walking home Beside you Your hair is long and blonde And your eyes are both bright blue I want to be Just like you Get myself a job And a really cool tattoo Really cool tattoo... Don't take it so hard You always take it so hard Don't take it so hard Don't take it to heart It's only 'cos I like you You are everything I wish I could be And maybe if I'm like you Baby would you like me? You're dressed Like a Victorian at a swimming pool You're dressed Like a deadly lethal ninja assassin All in black I want to be just like you... I want to be Just like you Get myself a job And a really cool tattoo I made you Trent Reznor Spinning on his back With a motorised action You made me A red and black scarf I wear it round my neck But no motorised action No motorised action...
@BowerBomB no, in the background someone shouts over 'a victorian at a swimming pool' with 'a deadly lethal ninja assassin' it's hard to make out but if you listen carefully you can hear it :)
I think this band have so much to say with their imaginative lyrics and unusual song arrangements, I have only ever heard this kind of song a million or so times.
I'd take a spinning Reznor doll but I would prefer a life size replica of each member of Reuben that would play their back catalogue all day... And spin.
The more I see this video, the more I believe that "E" is the singer from Hell is For Heroes and "D" is the guitar player. Great band, nice song, I miss them
@LoNebLoOdLuSt 2:40 - 2:42 the guy with the beard and the labcoat sings it, you can see his mouth moving in time with it...and it ends with the last "all in black" Never noticed that line before until someone pointed it out lol :)
Still awesome in 2023
.....and years later still underrated !
Absolutely.
Yep 😭
As a band not just the song!!
i just discover this band last year and suddently they become one of my top five. unbeliveable underrated band.
So good they're terrible
I learnt about them like 1 years after they broke up. Gutted.
That opening scream shits me up every time.
its 2023 and i still love this
One day it will come true. And they return
Some of the dudes from Reuben are now in a band called Freeze The Atlantic. Great band, doing tours/gigs all over the UK. Check em out!
they are one of the few bands that are better live than on CD I managed to see them 4 or 5 times each time better than the last.

These guys played a gig in solo music in Salisbury years ago in the middle of the day, it was mental!!
I met Jamie at UK Warped Tour last weekend, he's seriously awesome :D And i found out he's releasing a solo album, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay :D
TheEvilMonkeyZ and that solo album was one of the best things to ever happen to music.

Still listening in 2022
Wish I had gotten into Reuben before their demise. Great band, and they seemed like great people. We can always hope that they re-form though.
The most amazing band ever ! Totally in love with these guys
Is that Frank Turner as a scientist????
It sure is. Also singing backing vocals along with Paul Townsend from Hundred Reasons.
Paul from hundred reasons too! didn't know that. Learn something new every day ehh.
Awesome song
these guys are awesome live !!
I love how you've corrected and said ex-hundred reasons but left million dead when they're not even in existence anymore!
@BrainLapseFilms its also a line in the song. It says "youre dressed like a deadly lethal ninja assassin, all in black"
I saw this performed live on friday and it is just FANTASTIC live. Jamie got us all to sing the duet bit in the crowd and the bass solo was also very funny, all in all the whole show was just such fun and I was lucky enough to be RIGHT IN FRONT OF JAMIE!! oh im a lucky girl!

glad they got frank turner in the vid, wouldn't be the same without him. they even had him come out when they played this at guilfest this year, it was awesome.

Fantastic. Great band, great song, great video. I am so pleased this was featured :)
Now that is what you call a supergroup!

such a good song!
you could sorta tell they did a really rushed job of making this film LOL
my one of my favorite MVs ever!!!
Soft little body
Swollen by the sun
Waiting for the break
That he knows will never come
Four brittle limbs
Weak from under-use
And a head full of words
Long green hair
Funny looking dude
Big mouth on him
And a wicked attitude
And at first impression
He must seem kind of rude
But he does his best, yeah?
And anyway...
I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo
I'm walking home
Beside you
Your hair is long and blonde
And your eyes are both bright blue
I want to be just like you
In all I do
Jimmy got drunk
On his way to class
Swinging from the roof
Showed everyone his ass
And if you ask him why
He shakes his head and laughs
"There was nothing for it"
Stacy got laid
Boyfriend number one!
Took him to her room
And had a little fun
She's wearing out her voice
Telling everyone
And you can't ignore it
And anyway...
I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo
I'm walking home
Beside you
Your hair is long and blonde
And your eyes are both bright blue
I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo
Really cool tattoo...
Don't take it so hard
You always take it so hard
Don't take it so hard
Don't take it to heart
It's only 'cos I like you
You are everything I wish I could be
And maybe if I'm like you
Baby would you like me?
You're dressed
Like a Victorian at a swimming pool
You're dressed
Like a deadly lethal ninja assassin
All in black
I want to be just like you...
I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo
I made you Trent Reznor
Spinning on his back
With a motorised action
You made me
A red and black scarf
I wear it round my neck
But no motorised action
No motorised action...
thanks
sweet jamie has the same guitar strap as me + this song is so awesome. rueben really do need to get back together. rueben FTW ! :)
Its funny, these guys been around for a long long time and only now starting to break through, they deserve it though

Reuben, Biffy Clyro, Gallows and Ghost Of A Thousand are the best bands around right now.

@BowerBomB no, in the background someone shouts over 'a victorian at a swimming pool' with 'a deadly lethal ninja assassin' it's hard to make out but if you listen carefully you can hear it :)

I think this band have so much to say with their imaginative lyrics and unusual song arrangements, I have only ever heard this kind of song a million or so times.

I'd take a spinning Reznor doll but I would prefer a life size replica of each member of Reuben that would play their back catalogue all day... And spin.

The more I see this video, the more I believe that "E" is the singer from Hell is For Heroes and "D" is the guitar player.
Great band, nice song, I miss them
3:22 best moment of video
@BrainLapseFilms I'll explain - It's the title of the song.
omg yay! i cant believe this is featured i love these guys xD
12 years! This is the oldest post I've seen on CZcams. You win.
@LoNebLoOdLuSt 2:40 - 2:42 the guy with the beard and the labcoat sings it, you can see his mouth moving in time with it...and it ends with the last "all in black"
Never noticed that line before until someone pointed it out lol :)
These guys are ridiculous.............in a totally cool and positive way.
i love the bass solo at 2:19
@tie2009 It's a Fender Custom 5-string
I fucking LOVE REUBEN!!!
Reuben with a bit of Frank Turner thrown in for good measure. So awesome.
That's one sweet Jaguar.
Please make another album
@Lena549 Is the other one matt Berry?
have you tried ordering the cd from amazon? its worth having, because it's awesome, all their albums are
Actually such a ridiculous pity these guys have broken up, I want 'em to get back together, now!
How they didn't go nuts at the wires I don't know.
Good vid, great sound, is there any more?
You can check the statement on their Wikipedia site.
good video, was fuckin good live aswell. we had a nice little chat with the drummer outside aswell
i'll be honest im not a massive Reuben fan, but this song is awsome. and frank is looking rather sharp in this vid...soo's paul thou!
