Well, that's nothing. My Grandma used to sing me "Hurt" by the 9 Inch Nails. I could tell she was winding up to it when I'd see her screaming into a pillow to get her voice nice and shredded for it.
@@jeanmichellelaurent To make it better, by listening the whole album by order, this song is the opening track and the next song after that is Flim lmao
Many years ago, I would teach friends "techno's safe music. It's just this, and Fatboy Slim's Rockafella Skank! Then I praised them, like I should. ;-)
230 liker. And I'm sure you know what you wrote is in fact an significant philosophical comment from the people who saw this event take place and saw the effect that this had on us. Good show
Yo I was so focused on the rest of it I didn't notice that it was that varied, but I did notice sumn dope which is nearly all his vids n especially this one n windowlicker he uses stuff happening in the video to mimic the instruments that are playing (for example the girl hitting/rattling the bars in this one or him dancing like MJ in the windowlicker vid) idk if that's a thing he does in general but it's a dope touch, most vids just do transitions n mime the tempo a bit but nothin too fancy or mo subtle
If you want someone away from your life just show them this video and tell them it's your favorite music video of all time. 99.9% of the time they'll run away thinking there must be something really wrong about you
Most of Aphex twin music is not aggressive, it's just chill cool stuff, when this came out it really showed his genius, like he can change gear whenever he wants and still be on top and way ahead of everybody else
Usually when you look back at old music videos, you see outdated trends/fashion, poor editing/special effects, etc. This is timeless. I will continue to come back to this and enjoy it until I'm old and decrepit
I went to a horror event at a theme park in my state and while we were lining up for the mazes, this music video started playing on the big screen outside. My mum, my sister, and I were hyped!! Though it was very obvious which people were seeing the video for the first time by their confused/shocked faces 😂😭
@@yourtypicalcupofteathe MovieWorld Australia theme park had a Halloween themed night (Fright Night). They played music videos on a giant screen while we lined up to go through one of the horror movie themed mazes!
I once fell asleep with the radio on, and woke up to the screaming part of this song, the most scary shit i'v ever experienced. Edit: Holy shit I didn't expect this to get so many likes. Thx !
My old phone's audiojack was a bit glitchy and would cut out from time to time, then return when it felt like it. I nodded of on the bus, then it cut into the part at around 4:30. It's happened several times where I nearly, accidentally launched that fucker into orbit.
those dvd title sequences get ya every time ! Some of the crazy horrors ive watched late at night have come back to bite me in the ass having passed out and not turned the dvd off . Devils rejects was one of the fun ones to wake up to :)
I've said this before but, the actor who played Granny here is Coral Lorne. There is not much to know about her but the only appearance besides Come to Daddy I found of her is here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nORSc2-A7sw.html at 14:38. But unfortunately she died in 2005 due to natural causes. She is in the IMDB credits of Come to Daddy.
The demon that comes out of the TV set kind of resembles the one from the movie Pumpkinhead (1988). Also, when the demon's still in the TV set saying "Come to daddy!" repeatedly, it reminds me of what "Frank" says to "Kirsty" in the movie "Hellraiser" (1987) pretending to be her dad. Cool stuff!
@@jank097 Darwin's Yearbook, specifically the Teachers part, even more specifically Mr. Small's part. He has an album called The Small Hours which has a track called "Mother", and the music video for Mother is just him screaming at an old lady
@@silentcrow6602 Carol Lorne, aged-84 at the time of filming in 1997. She'd done almost everything in her time, started in music halls. Carol was a lovely lady of the old school; leading up to the screaming moment I (the creature, almost naked) had my back to the wind machine. At the end of every take she'd turn to the director and say sweetly, 'Is that all right, dear?' They don't make 'em like that anymore.
@@alstokesveteranfilmmaker913 Hi! By the way, what was that half-man and half-demon creature? Was it representing anything in particular? What I understood from both song and video combined is that the media are the demonic force claming the human soul for themselves. Greetings from Argentina!
@@jimeferra Yep, I was that creature and on some jobs I find it is best not ask too many questions as it can upset some film directors. When in doubt keep your mouth shut; best course of action is learn the words, turn up on time and wait for your agent to send the cheque. And have fun while you are doing it. The creature was referred to in the script as 'the thin man' - so your guess is as good as mine about who he is meant to be. Have fun in Argentina!
you may think it's all special effects and artistry, but no: the average council estate in the UK is actually quite like this. Edit: why are people still upvoting and commenting on this a year later? It wasn't THAT funny.
He amazes me. I'm a huge fan of C418, composer of Minecraft and producer of a tonne of great music in a variety of styles not just related to Minecraft, and I thought he was pretty cutting edge. But then I realized Aphex Twin was doing a lot of the stuff I liked in C418 10-20 years earlier.
When he turns into the monster and screams in the old lady's face, that's just horrifying and amazingly cool. Chris Cunningham is an incredible music video director and if you've never seen the video for Rubber Johnny for Apex Twin you should definitely check it out too.
Freaked me out the first time I saw it. I stumbled upon it late one night on MTV (when it was a newly released video) while tripping on some very clean LSD. I remember thinking, "this can't be real". 😳
I swear you can’t look at a comment section from any non mainstream artist without someone jacking themselves off for loving “cultured music” like stfu nigga damn
Even people who would never in there lives think to listen to this fine piece of realness expressed in a perfect music clip of not more than five + min will like this because of the similar experience and feelings they called life as we know.
@@ikaiju-eu9wn It isn't inherently Satanic, it can be if it's made with the intention though; and unfortunately many of those songs do contain admiration for Satan. But I've probably heard more Satanic pop-songs than metal songs though. I don't personally enjoy "Black" Metal but I do enjoy some "Metal" bands. Notably early Metallica and some tracks by the Melvins.
@@moiramoira333 just google amazing world of gumball aphex twin and you will instantly see in the thumbnail, they also reference kraftwerk in the same video
Lame? lol nah. This is pinnacle of artistry. Don’t be jealous. Being bitter in the face of pure genius is sobering when you realize you’re only self projecting your inadequacy, reinforced by the simple fact your here calling it lame rather than buzzing off.
Hard to touch her version. A pity she's not performing it anymore. Hardly any time with all the neutral-gender clothes for kids she's been selling. Gotta sell them kids, and their parents, on the concept. Doing her part to make the world a better place. And profiting from it!
I was 23 when this was released, and it freaked me the fuck out. I'm 47 now, and it's no less creepy. Aphex Twin remains an amazing, yet highly underrated electronic artist. Props to director Chris Cunningham for his vision too.
I can clearly remember when a I saw this video on Mtv2. I was like 8 or 9 year’s old at that time and I couldn’t sleep for like a week after I watched this :D Chris Cunningham is the best!
Chris Cunningham had a truly disturbing sense of what was acceptable when it came to music videos. Thank God there were people in a position to let him do his thing and make mini-masterpieces like this.
@LeroyJenkinsIII Omg I remember the lore and mystery surrounding that video back in the day. Damn, dude you yanked a memory out of the depths of me brainz.
I had the pleasure of viewing this for the one or two days it was played on MTV in 1997. It was the craziest shit I'd ever seen at that point and it made my life one big search for the craziest rhythms possible. THANK YOU RICHARD!!
I always appreciated how this song and video emphasized the importance of family, particularly having a father figure you can run to and look up to. I think that’s what “Come to Daddy” is really all about. Family.
Friend sent me this today, I was born in 97 I'm digging the bass and adding it to the list of songs I'd like to learn when I get a new string and Amp this goes hard!
My friend showed me this in high school and I didn’t really appreciate drum and bass then. I’m 26 now and returning to this song , holy crap. This is an incredible track
duude i fell asleep on the couch as a kid while MTV was running ...i woke up in the middle of the night to this track and thought my TV is possessed ...after 2 minutes of complete shock i realized its just a music video!! shortly after i checked his other stuff like "On" and "Stone in Focus" and thats how i found my favorite music producer
There was a magazine interview at the time when they played this to a psychologist- he thought it was to do with the ‘unacceptable parts of oneself’ and requested a copy to play to his students!
Crazy how timeless the sound of this song is. Like it definitely feels like a product of its time but at the same time if it came out today I could totally believe it.
Mexico. Mid 1999. Pre-Millenium Tension. The decay of Britpop. The dissolution of grunge. The golden age of raves at abandoned farms in the countryside. THAT WAS THE ULTIMATE WAY to finish the decade. And this was our Anthem.
Thank you Mr. Twin for giving me this lovely tune which I use for meditation in my less-than-calm moments. Folk do look at me a bit odd as I walk along, though.
god, please, when people like you will stop exist? (i'm not mean when they're will die, but when they're will change to adequately thinking people), remind yourself what your parents were talking about electronic music? remind yourself what your grandparents were talking about 70-80's music? one were telling younger generation that all electronic music is bad and soulless and previous of them generation were talking about that you should listen to classical music only, oh and don't forget that you shouldn't watch movies or playing games (even tho it's just another way of creating art or making shitty thing which can be applied to anything the absolutely same way) you should only read books. Stop being a damn conservative and dummy, it's an elitism and also music (and art in general) is subjective and you can't claim that something is worse or better, that's simply a question of your taste, nothing more, and if you think i'm wrong OPEN ANY DAMN VIDEO WITH ANY ARTIST AND YOU WILL SEE THE SAME COMMENT AS YOUR, WORD BY WORD, YOU WILL FIND PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN EVERY SINGLE COMMENT OF ANY ARTIST OR TRACK, WHICH SHOWS EXACTLY THAT THIS IS SIMPLY A SUBJECTIVE OPINION AND YOUR TASTES, NOTHING MORE. Sorry for being emotional and capsing, but i'm tired of people like you, every year, every damn year i keep hearing and seeing the same dillema from people like you over and over and over and it will never end, my generation would do the same after 10-20 years, and their kids will do the same too and so on. But why people like you can't understand such simple thing, i don't understand. THAT'S ONLY YOUR PROBLEM THAT YOU CAN'T FIND SOMETHING SAME GOOD WHAT WAS MADE NOWADAYS.
Yes I had a similar experience, an old buddy of mine, was at his, we had just taken 3 liquid drops of acid and taken a load of K, and he made me watch this and aphex twins rubber Johnny,, that was horrendous,, the rest of the trip was I pulled myself together wqa wonderful, but my god, don't watch this on trips,,
True story; I played this song for my dad thinking it would annoy him. Nope! He loved it! I miss him so much. R.I.P. Larry Lee Sailors Aphex Twin finally got your soul and I bet you’re having a blast!
@@Moonfreeze yes! i have a dvd collection of the music videos he’s done. really unique stuff, especially for it’s time. i think he did those freaky ass playstation commercials from the late 90s too!
