KONGOS - I'm Only Joking 

The musicianship it requires to create a song like this is unreal, definitely one of the most talented families in the music scene.

So, 10 years later im just discovering this band. Idk how i missed such a gem, but I'm glad i found them

12 years and still love this song.

This song has a way of fitting my mood no matter what it is, it is up beat when i'm happy, it has a good base when i'm mad, it's just perfect for me however i'm feeling

I thought Come With Me Now was the best song I'd heard in a long time. This one's even better! Can't wait to hear more!!

How isn't this more popular? the songs is awesome

There are no words good enough to describe this song.

I got into this band because of the heavy drumming, I stayed because the music is addictive, the melody & songwriting are excellent in every song! Please keep making music!!!

I'm 68 years old and I just love this song. I can't get enough of it. KONGOS are coming to Rochester NY and I'd love to see them but I'd feel a little out of place.

The things they're doing with the rhythm are messing with my head! Beautiful.

Im 56 yrs. Young lady. This is one of my favorite bands of all your band is awesome! Love the drummer. Video is awesome I would have loved to have been in it I can imagine it was lots of fun!! KEEP ROCKING.

2024 still listening to it

Just found this and can't stop listening

In 2014, KONGOS unleashed their hit, "I'm Only Joking," featuring the talents of Johnny, Jesse, Daniel, and Dylan Kongos. Shot amidst the striking landscapes of South Africa and Arizona, the video captivates viewers. Little known fact: the band's multi-instrumentalist prowess extends to the accordion, an instrument they expertly weave into their alternative rock sound.

Jon Snow high as fuck playing drums in a club and shit...

Нереально крутая музыка! Возвращаясь к этой песне через месяц-другой перерыва неизменно получаю тот же самый кайф, что и в первый раз - мурашки по телу. Просто чудо!

Yup it's official, after listening to 3 songs I love this band!!!

WOW I just found this band, they sound so fresh, very very creative. I am very impressed.

The music these guys make is next level. Just non-stop chills every time I hear most of their songs. Much respect and love from me to them. This is what music is all about.

Found this yesterday and i can't stop listening. I love how it aged so well over these years.

That thunderous drum beat and electronic screeching borders on mid 90s Nine Inch Nails. How the fuck does a band with an accordion player even do that?

Just can't get enough of that beat. Addicting like hell, can't help pushing replay button like that Pavlov's dog.

I still think it's the best song ever. Rhytmic, deep, addicting, original and just dope

The way the percussion sort of stumbles between different rhythms is so intriguing.

Love the tempo changes that preserve the genuine, tribal beat inside the catchy tune. This is seriously fun music!

WE NEED CONGOS IN POTUGAL! IN A CONCERTO OF THEIR OWN! I found them when I went to One Republic's concert and KONGOS were opening the show. Love at first sight

What a fantastic sound, love it. I was getting bored with the modern music, but, i have been reawaken at the age of 61, pure magic.

Art is supposed to make you feel things.. THIS IS ART!

Просто удивительно что гуляя по ютубу можно найти такое сокровище, как эти ребята. Жаль раньше их не знала.

Drums are just outstanding! I like this band so much.

*8 years and I'm still listening. Anyone else?* Edit: 9 years (8-05-2020) Edit: 10 years (8-05-2021) Edit: 11 years (8-05-2022) Edit: 12 years (8-05-2023)

Still one of the best music videos I've seen, 5 years later . And that hypnotic drum beat, omg... Used to watch this all the time.

this song is so addicting

How I'm discovering this song 9 years after it was released is beyond me!! Love it!!!

I'm 53 and love all kinds of music, and really dig this track. I gotta grow mature, but I refuse to grow up. Y'all will see sooner than you think. GOD BLESS , crank it !

Modern musicians that play instruments!! Real music...)

This sounds like Queen's of the stone age had a baby with muse. I'm not complaining, I love both bands.

Not a 1 or 2 hit song wonder album. First time I haven't felt that way when buying a whole album in a LONG time.

2019, you can feel it. The taste and tenor has changed, the future is brighter and getting brighter. The pall that hung over us in 2011 has broken, and the future is getting better and better.

I adore this band!!!! This song is one of my favorites!!! Lots of love from SA!!

where have these guys been!! rock needed these guys in the late 90s! EVERY song is amazing! "hey i dont know" is the shizz!

This song is insane. These guys are so good and unique sounding! I listen to them whenever I'm writing in my new book, it's that inspiring. I hope they stick around for years to come with this kind of talent.

This song has been hands-down my favourite song from you guys ever since I first heard it.

The drum riff on this is fantastic.

Superb, I love how the drum beats shifts around towards the end

Seriously hypnotic, and I love it!

IT TOOK ME SO MANY YEARS TO FIND THIS SONG

Their dad produces them, sometimes does backup vocals. August 6, 1945, a month and 3 days younger than me. People our age playing this great music, we are right at home going to their concerts.

This song won't get out of my head!!

One of the new best bands ever. What happened to this dudes? We need more rock, come on. Word is full of pop and trap!

Love them ... atmospheric rock

Ooh i'm so happy to rediscover this music, i used to listen it a lot, it's the first song i heard from this band. Since that moment i never stopped listening their other songs, but i forget this one.

Felicitaciones chicos, nada más que decir muy buena banda, por fin una banda nueva, que rescata esencia de lo clásico, Saludos desde Colombia

I feel like my blood's gonna boil coz of the beat😍 its mezmerizing!!💓

One of the few bands I like to call original and authentic 👌

Thematically, the chorus lyrics fit well with the groove. "I'm just fucking with your head" is emphasized by the time signature changing from 7/4, to 9/4 (or at least has that feel, but could also just be consistent 4/4), finally resolving with 6/4. Additionally, I love the drum groove breakdown where the rhythm was switching back and forth between swing and straight. It's a shame this song doesn't get as much attention as their "hit". This song is much more interesting musically speaking

I heared this on one of the online radios I listen and totally loved it! Enjoy!

The percussions sounds ¡AMAZING!

Great song!!! I cant help but just jump around when listening to this!!

I keep coming back here. This is one of them life long songs that you always come back to.

This song is great I love the beat! I love that this band uses other instruments unlike most bands out there, that's awsome!!!

Esta canción me inspira y me hace olvidar la realidad ❤️

NO FREAKING WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS THING !! I'M IN LOOOVE WITH IT

Immer noch und immer wieder , kongos eine tolle Band.

Классная песня. Одна из самых любимых.

Really cool song. Has that 'moody epic' feel as in some older songs like Paint it Black, Dream on, and Kashmir. Those only come around once in a while, and it's awesome to hear one in the modern age.

When I watched them Live in South Africa it was amazing... I live here in South Africa 🇿🇦 and watched them play live in Durban city. Oh yes, South Africa is their hometown ^^

Kongos, I love this song! One of my favorites! ❤️

Одна из моих любимых песен! Уносящая за пределы мироздания 🌌

i love how this sounds like its about a psychopath who lets his insanity slip in front of others than brushes it off nothing.

Essa música mexendo com os meus sentidos, perfeita!

One of my favorite songs of all time !

I love that song 😍❤

У этих парней одна песня лучше другой. Просто блеск!

Que energia me da esta música!!! Like a rumbling volcano marching on top of snow white cloud... freaking energizing!

The best (and only) country/rock/world music band with a supermodel as frontman.

This song is so fuckin cool, I love how the drums switch up constantly. It makes it sound unnerving.

super super song .... so addicting ....wow!!! .... I'm looking for a live performance in Zürich one day :-)

one of the best choruses ever, hands down

This just popped on my spotify feed. What an awesome song.

The Best Music of Kongos 🇿🇦🎸

Damn, this song is so badass. I can feel a pirate vibe here, but it is also creepy.

full volume on headphones - AWESOME!!

Saw them in 2018 and they closed with this song. I recorded the whole song and uploaded it here on my other account. Love these guys. Great music.

They so need to come to.Chicago!!!!

Pretty freaking awesome. Kind of a tribal trance mystic journey. Like it. A lot!

what I love this song !! it's unbelievable ! I want to sing, I want to dance! it's like i'm flying in the Sky! I love it!

This song is like an experience.
