Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

What do I like about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? rock/punk simplicity. Drums, guitar, singer. And it rocks. Makes me want to be on stage, bopping around like Karen or playing the snot out of a drumset like Brian. And Nick is there in his own guitar world.

There are a lot of rock chicks out there right now with Debbie Harry/Mick Jagger stage presence... Karen O, Maja (from the Sounds). And then Chantal (from Morningwood) and Beth Ditto from the Gossip are just out there rockin' it too. I'll have to do separate posts about them because this is Yeah Yeah Yeah time!

A Live performance in San Fransisco at the Fillmore of "Rockers To Swallow", which I think kicks major bleep!! LOVE this song 'cause it just rocks. This shows off Karen O a little better. LOVE that scream. O Karen, a little strange, but we love ye because of it, girl. And Brian on drums is just too much fun to watch (when he's getting into it in that drummer way. I totally understand that).

Example of the rock chick in action; watch as she prowls the stage:




And I love this video of Cheated Hearts. Fan friendly! Enjoy! (can you spot the real Yeah Yeah Yeahs?)

Awww, "Universal" magic took the embedded versions away. So just follow the yellow brick link instead...

Cheated by
The opposite of love
Held on high
From up up up above
Kept my high
From the second one
Kept my eye
On the first one

Now take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day
Take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day

Take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day
Take these rings
And stow them safe away
I'll wear them on
Another rainy day

Well I'm
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin' it off
And she's
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin' it off
And he's
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin' it off
And we're
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin' it off

Sometimes
I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
I think that I'm bigger
than the sound
I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound

She'll take on high
She'll take on high-igh

Well sometimes
I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
Well I think that I'm bigger
Than the sound
