I was watching TMF a few weeks ago and heard a pwnage song. Forgot to look at the title at the end. Now I heard it on the radio last night and remembered how much I liked it. The video is this:

Woman walking around city carrying huge red heart, which slowly shrinks throughout the clip, and she's less and less happy. She doesnt get let in a disco with the heart and she can't leave it outside so she goes home. Much later the heart is about the size of her head (relatively small, it was bigger than her at the start) and she's all depressed. Leaning against the wall in an alley. Some dude finds her and eventually asks her out to coffee. She falls in love with him and her heart is enormous again. Then he doesnt come back and the heart shrinks.
Blah. Ring any bells? I really want to know what that song is.

Oh, a vague description of the song: The closest i can relate it to is daft punk. Not Human after all, the other two. Loads of flangus, awesome bass, and some weird, barely understandable singing.

Thanks ^_^

I don't watch TMF as it's the channel of gays (Excluding Dirty Sanchez etc.).
But, i've seen that video before. Can you remember any lyrics from it at all?

I watch alot of music on T.V. Usually MTV2 but it should show on that if it's good. If i see it, i'll let you know.


Was the lead vocalist a girl, by any chance?

MIKA isn't capable of making good music.
Well, in most cases anyway. ¬_¬

For some reason i'm thinking of a new-ish band. I can't remember the name, all i know is they're forriegn. French, i think. They performed on Lilly Allen and friends once.
I'll look about to remember them.


Edit
Yelle was the bands name.
Speed search FTW.

Edit numero tu
They don't do a music video like that of any sort, as far as i know. I'll keep looking in any case.

I meant the part where he would be the woman's voice. When I heard "Relax, Take it easy" I thought it was a new Scissor Sisters song.

I still lubs him tho ^.^

Oh, and thanks for the... random unrelated french band...

Edit: Eek! http://www.yelle.fr/

Wait, what?

-Edited out- Mis-read it, sorry.

Anytime.

Yelle has some good backing tunes. She does some pretty nifty songs, if i'm honest. A bit scary to look at though.

The lyrics were about as hard to understand as Do you know squarepusher? (youtooble it)
Cause they had lots of flanger effects, like the rest of the song. And phaser. Both, yeah. Ask Schall if you don't know what they are.

Can't help you... I've got something similar with a poprock song that I can't remember enough lyrics of and that's basicly killing all chances to ever get to know the song.
