MGMT “Kids” Video
HD Version: www.itsjonsalmon.com Article about the video www.canyon-news.com About Abby and Rafael: www.myspace.com/abrafever Just to set the story straight: the facepainted kids in the video are a boy and girl from Los Angeles, two friends of mine, names Raf and Abby. MGMT was not involved in the making of this video, however, they became involved down the line. The story goes like this: December 2007: Rushing to make a due date for a USC Music Video class, I ask my friends Raf and Abby to appear in my video. I like the way they bounce off of each other despite completely different personality types, and think they both have interesting faces. Raf didn’t want to shave so I didn’t push him. We shot in one night, I cut overnight, turn it in and call it the worst thing I’ve done so far. January 2008: On a whim one night while visiting home in Austin, Texas, I throw the video on Youtube just for kicks. April 2008: Ray Tintori, who has directed 3 official videos for MGMT, finds my fan video online and invites myself and my two actors to come to New York to appear in MGMTs next official video for Electric Feel. May 2008: We go to New York and have a great time on the set with the band and all their friends.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Hot NEW R&B track BoB BoB ft Janelle Monae THE KIDS [Chorus] The drugged boys said its show time, The streets dont give a damn. Theyre filled with such pollution. The kids dont stand a chance. Were trapped inside a matrix, Forced to play our hands, Were filled with so much hatred. The kids dont stand a chance (2x): I said the kids dont, the kids dont stand The kids dont stand a chance. Well, since I was planted at birth, I abandoned my own planet and I landed on earth. As a kid I never understood what I observed, and Some of it was strange, but most of it disturbed me. Always in detention for the lack of my attention, You can call it deficit, but really I just didnt listen. And I was always missing, the teachers like where is bobby simmons but Trying to get a record deal is all I can remember. Its funny cuz looking back to the past that I had, All my days in the streets trying to prove that I was bad, I still elevated to the level that Im at I still elevated to the level that Im at. [Chorus] Sometimes its hard to grow While living in fear of the unknown. How can he ever give love, When no love is in his heart. A child can barely sleep at night, Too worried bout tomorrow. And what it behold, he drowned himself, Deep down in his sorrow. Will you run or will you show your life, Tell a stories, live and try. See it when were given hope, That we would know we can grow.
@screamingsours I can kinda see where you’re coming from.

So for those that dont know. This is a fan made video. The two dancers are MGMT. However, they are in “Electric Feel” video. And yes, she is “enigmatically attractive.”
Good song to get High To
DDDDDDDDDDDDD
SICK AS FUUUCK
this and Airplanes are his only good songs. all the others suck. just my opinion. no offence to anybody. i just have a diff style of music. NOT HATING. I LOVE B.O.B.!! <3
5 Stars ….
awesome
god i love vampire weekend.
but you know, remakes are cool too
this guy should be more famous, better than 99% of the “artists” on the radio today…
oh g’day, here is an outrageous statement for you
If you sleepin on this dude you are just crazy he is just so talented and he’s an individual you cant compare him to anyone because he belongs in a catagory of his own. I like how his album can take you from hard hip-hop, to pop, to rock, to soul he can just go to different genres of music.
damn I thought this song was crazy original, I was actually shocked when I heard it at first because the sound was so unique. But then I find out it was ripped off of this other band. It’s still a dope beat but none of the credit goes to b.o.b. it’s all vampire weekend.
ahh <3
@BLISScaptivity17 some people are fuckin stupid
people are so fucking stupid
@BLISScaptivity17
i think it’s called a revision, not a rip off
@BLISScaptivity17 different sound to both songs so kinda hard to compare, i always gotta go with the original because Vampire Weekend were the creators of the tune, but B.o.B. did a great job reworking the song, made it more pop friendly
@BLISScaptivity17 he asked them for permission first so he did not rip them off
@BLISScaptivity17 B.o.B obv..
@sunnyd214 its drug boy said its show time
@BLISScaptivity17 don’t have to decide whos better there both good =)
he ripped of vampire weekend the kids dont stand a chance you decide whose is better
i love everything about this song
i love janelle monae, i love vampire weekend, and b.o.b. of course.
!!
@216NaZzTy almost all his shit is outstanding
My favorite song on this Album…No Doubt
Its so good, and it means a lot if you actually pay attention to the lyrics 
keep writing 3 1′s Bobby ray 
@JakeB731 My personal fav is Cudi also. if you listen to his original shit it is outstanding.
Vampire Weekend <3
This is real rap. Lil Wayne is so computerized it sounds like shit. B.O.B. is AWESOME!
