Catchy or annoying?
I'm in the catchy camp at the moment, but I have a vision it slipping into the other camp pretty quick.

Very catchy indeed. Great band. Was disappointed with their last album, it had no spark, no fun elements, but this sounds like a return to form. Tres bien!

Catchy!
Their Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix release was one of my most-played CDs for a couple of years, and still gets quite a few spins.
Quite taken with the video too. One of the pictures featured (the first one that 'sings',at about 0m16s) is composer Franz Liszt. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix had a track called "Lisztomania". Watched the video again and spotted Wolfgang Amadeus (Mozart) later on. Can't say I can put names to a great many of the other pictures though.
Thanks for posting - hope it's not too long before a new CD materialises.

I'm in the catchy camp too and the video is very clever.

The video is cute, but I find the song more annoying than catchy. (Of course, the two qualities aren't mutually exclusive!)

Nice track by Phoenix. Seen them a bunch of times. Great fun band.
Actually back before they blew up - my friend DJed their after party. The band didn’t show up until 2 hours later. So ended up drinking with the band until 4am .

Catchy, definitely... even if it reminds me a lot of Empire of the Sun.
... and it's a brilliant video

A bit too generic to draw much of a reaction from me either way.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

Fun live band too. Agree they are a bit generic but they have a little it factor I like.
Saw they at MSG and Daft Punk played the second encore with them ( one of the members of Phoenix played in a band with them).

Same here. I.like the video but the song is annoying and somewhat generic
