Well, I'm so above you
And it's plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don't mind bleedin'
Any old time, you keep me waitin'
Waitin', waitin'

Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'

Well, your mama kept you
But your daddy left you
And I should've done you just the same
But I came to love you
Am I born to bleed?
Any old time, you keep me waitin'
Waitin', waitin'

Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'

Hey

Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, whoa, oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'

That Girl from Barbados

14w↑12

I sat many days, wondering where I got my awesome dance moves.

Was it my mother? No.
Was it my father? No.

Then I saw a light. It was a notification, YouTube was reaching out again.

They were suggesting I come.

I came.

It was this video, this man and I knew right away it was him that blessed me with the ability to move in ways I thought impossible.

Keep dancing, Sir.

Keep dancing.

Well I’m so above you
And it’s plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don’t mind bleeding
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you
And I should’ve done you just the same
But I came to love you
Am I born to bleed?
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Hey!

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

the music video was originally a high budget video but the black keys hated the final result of two different edits so they were going to scrap the video entirely. but the director captured this video of this extra from the original video dancing/lip syncing to the song and the black keys loved it, it went viral and helped the black keys get their highest charting single to date

Back in the day when music videos were first becoming a thing, John Cougar Melloncamp was dancing to one of his tunes. And some religious wackos with altogether too much free time on their hands, and also the self appointed morality police, decided that all music vids were a bad thing, including the one by John.
P.S. I know that my age is showing.

Funny thing about this video: When the Black Keys were originally making the video, this guy was only supposed to have a small appearance. When the camera started rolling, this guy just started doing his thing and everyone was so impressed with his dance moves that they felt like he WAS the whole song. So they let him have the entire video. I always thought that was a pretty cool fact once I learned about it.

@J M As a form of structured socialisation in a group for the socially inadequate individuals,something akin to exercise for club goers to aid in processing bulk alcohol,enabling further consumption,line-dancers dance merely as a wind up to other people,a percentage of dancers were dropped on their head as a child,delusional people are showing off their amazing talent,some participants have merely lost bets and have to dance.

The fact that they actually planned to make a music video with 7 people and then decided to record this guy that was dancing off-screen instead. And they all did it in one take, is fucking hilarious and amazing at the same time.

mark rigg

When this was recorded they didn't plan to use it as the official film clip. It was a spur of the moment thing done by the producer. So they made a proper clip but the band hated it. So the producer saved his own bacon by showing this to the band after they rejected the actual film clip.
