This is the performance that put them on the map for me. Been a die hard fan ever since. Just saw them live for the first time yesterday. They were epic!!
If these kids hadn’t heard of these guys before this show, the opportunity to work with these geniouses has probably made them lifetime fans and opened them up to a whole new world of music. Wish everyone could experience that. Fucking fantastic.
To anyone who says this is too fast, a lot of times bands have to play their songs faster on shows like this because of time constraints. This song even has a longer intro on the album. They probably only gave them a certain amount of time since it's on tv.
Look up live version of Virgin. "Ha, lead singer looks like Zach Galifianakis." Keep watching. Drummer looks like Zach Galifianakis too. Cuts to the chorus, 3 of the girls are Zach Galifianakis. Now whole band is Zach Galifianakis. Everyone is Zach Galifianakis. Zach Galifianakis sits in David Letterman's chair and stares at the camera for the last 45 seconds without saying a word. Close my laptop, start crying. Cookie monster bursts in my room and starts throwing ferrets at me.
I'm usually against having the kids in any song, because I see it as "Oh, how cute" kind of thing . . . But DAMN do they make it so eerie. Amazing band and song
Re: the choir, true - they may only have been rehearsing for a few hours beforehand and some may never had heard the song before...and the "mistakes" add the genuine nature of the performance.
@hahaloves no the lead did something different from when we rehearsed it lol so we got thrown off. I was the chorister with the curly brown hair and blue eyes. BYC had an awesome time doing this. It was awesome. It was so exciting!
