My father heard this and said he didn't remember hearing this particular song back in the late 60's when he was in his early 20's. He was surprised to know that the lead singer - Kevin Parker - is even younger than I am. That's how good these guys are; my dad thought they were an old psychedelic 60's band that he'd forgotten about during Woodstock.

Man the drummer Kevin Parker is so good. I also love their guitarist Kevin Parker, but while the bass is pretty good and Kevin Parker is very talented. The vocals by Kevin Parker are the best part by far

I love how the bass and drums thud along like it’s an elephant walking

Tame Impala is so good, Kevin Parker’s decade old songs get covered and they get #1 in the hottest 100.

The music video looks exactly how I thought it would look after hearing the audio. Something infectious about that bassline. We don't need choruses when the bassline hits THAT GOOD

Really heavy bass is what makes this song rock.

The first time I heard Tame Impala was 2015. Elephant was on the radio. I assumed it was some John Lennon deep cut I had never heard. I pulled over and googled "John Lennon elephant song" and then laughed my ass off when I learned it wasn't him. Then I discovered one of my favorite bands ever.

My friend Alistair just sent me this and I like it

music video producer: what colours do you want? tame impala: *yes*

saw an old guy throw a pool ball into someone’s head in a bar today and they were playing this song

The Rickenbacker guitar and the Hofner bass are just a wonderful delight haha

Sounds like if zeppelin and floyd came together and got John Lennon to sing

sounds like that one wiggles song

This song was an experience live! Loved it! It felt like a psychedelic dream. Best show I have ever seen live!

This is sick as hell. Like their newer stuff is great but this is a instant classic. What a gem

It's like John Lennon was resurrected and featured as a surprise celebrity at a rave concert..priceless

Listening after hearing the Wiggles cover on like a version. Wiggles absolutely smashed it!

1:13 is the greatest sound this band has ever concocted tama impale my beloved

Great to see someone like Parker to recreate the psychedelic music of the 60s I grew up with. Parker is a musical genius to blend so many diverse sounds.Really mind bending.

I'm here because of The Wiggles.

I can't explain how incredible this song and album is while tripping

It's all about those backbeat "YEAAA-" sound clips.

One of the most underrated songs to this day!

What's so cool about this, is that this song is around 15 years old and they just started using it for a car commercial! Classics never die! They live forever!

i just wanna point some stuff out, the bassist uses a paul mcartney bass, the guitarist uses a john lennon 60's style guitar, the drummer uses a jazz setup kinda drum set kinda like ringo, the singer sounds alot like john lennon and they are clearly on acid

"He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac 'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back" My favorte part, it sounds so fucking smooth ... sounds like: "cause he doesn't LI Ki LU Ki LI Ki LU back"

Ok, so just heard this for the first time, and am trying to remember when I've ever needed to hear a song like this more. It's good to know that music will never die

Now I can’t wait for Tame Impala to cover “Big Red Car”!🚗

Finally! I've found a current band with that late 60s/early 70s psychedelic rock vibe that I love! I'm so pumped to listen to the rest of their music!!

When you're on acid but you need to make a music video

this is like psyched/stoner rock mixed with electronic pop and it's amazing

‘He tore the mirrors off his Cadillac, cos he doesn’t like it looking like he looks back’ is one of the best lyrics ever written in my view 👏🏼

✨ *LYRICS* ✨ Well, he feels like an elephant Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it He knows that you're dreaming about being loved by him. Too bad your chances are slim And it's not like mister shook to get shy when they ask him who is on top There must be something deep down in the dark down there He's not too easily scared He's got friends but they got fear Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared Oh, look see there he is now coming down the stairs Here he comes He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac 'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back He talks like his opinion is a simple fact Somebody grabbed his collar He cried the whole way home No one been remembered a thing when they saw him again That's how it is 'til the end Yeah

If the Beatles had carried on into the 70's...

Love that line "he pulled the mirrors of his Cadillac because he doesn't like it looking like he looks back"

Well this song suddenly got a new lease on life!

This sounds like it was released in 1972

Honestly just here checking to see if tame impala did the 'fruit salad yummy yummy' part that the wiggles did

In all honesty the first time hearing this song I truly thought it was a unreleased ,remixed ,enhanced ,archived , long lost Beatles track. Swear to god!

I remember my friend never liked taking music recs from people cause he was always disappointed. he also played bass and i told him to check out tame impala and specifically this song and he told me he instantly fell in love and thanked me for showing it to him. The band was fairly new at the time as well , this album had just dropped.

I saw tame impala live last night for the first time. This song is on a whole other level when you can actually feel the music in your body.

Syd Barret would be in heaven with y’all’s music

This sounds like if the Beatles still made music today

Psychedelic Rockabilly!!!

Thatcher is officially the most badass member on rainbow

easily his most underrated song

This is the song and album that got me into Tame Impala in the first place. Still rad.

More music needs to be made like this.

The Alternative radio station where I live is OBSESSED with this song.

0:00 The Beatles Sound (Abbey Road era) Vocals lennon style 2:14 Pink floyd ("one of these days" bass style) 1:15 Pink floyd( "any colour you like" synth style)

he sounds just like john lennon omg

Does anyone else think it has black sabbath sounds? Will I be the only one? I am very impressed that it has influences from 70's metal.

seeing Tame live honestly ranks up there as one of my greatest life experiences

My mom ran in the room cause she thought I was playing John Lennon 😂

Please someone talk about this drop 2:10 I just can’t describe how incredible it was for me. I felt I just lifted up.

POV: You came back for 1:05

i don’t think my soul will ever recover from this song- its so amazing

These guys are amazing.

saw tame impala live in the begining of this year and he opened with his song. Kevin Parker is a genius of our generation fr

So Lennon!

His voice reminds me of John’s and he even plays a Rickenbacker.

Bet he feels like an elephant Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it You know that you're dreaming about being loved by him Too bad your chances are slim And it's not like Mr. Shock To get shy when I ask who always is on top? There must be something deep down in the middle down there He's not too easily scared He's got friends but they got the feeling Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared Oh, look, see there he is now coming down the stairs (Here he comes) He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac (yeah) 'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back He talks like his opinion is a simple fact Somebody grabbed his collar He cried the whole way home He won't remember a thing 'til it starts again That's how it is 'til the end (yeah)

I'm here because Kevin Parker is a genius

Lets All Take A Moment To Appreciate How Close This Sounds To A Beatles Song.

I heard this song in a commercial and could not for the life of me figure out what it was and spent hours searching fruitlessly, and now here we are, and I'm so relieved to have finally found it. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Best cover of The Wiggles song I’ve heard so far. This band going somewhere

Hmmmm this is extremely bizarre, Back in 1988 I had a band called Tame The Elephant, and we had a song called "Impala" and another song called "Nova" Both songs were titled after a fellow band member's two cars And this is my first time ever hearing of this band or this song. My mind is blown

More music needs to be made like that.

This song is not irrelephant

This is inferior because they never go into 'Fruit Salad'

Im here because of a Lexus commercial, I've actually been hearing this song for years but never knew the name or who it was by l, but now I do!

He sounds like John Lennon. LOVE THIS!

*This Just In: Local British Man is Too Angry to Die*

This song is like taking all the stupid things I've done while intoxicated and play them in my head, and it's beautiful

This guy sounds like Lennon. Love it.

The bass is amazing!

I heard this song 5 years ago somewhere and been searching for it ever since. FINALLY FOUND IT!!! It's like finally scratching that itch that's been bothering you all day

Fruit salad....yummy yummy.

Showed my history teacher this song in 8th grade and he absolutely fell in love with tame impala after

Magical mystery tour meets Daf punk

Why use acid when you can just watch a Tame Impala video

Lennon sounding vocals, hofners, ricks, I like this band

I remember feeling anticipatory nostalgia when listening to this on the radio and seeing them open for the Arctic Monkeys at Finsbury Park in London. Love this song, it never gets old ❤

Masterpiece, simply flawless! Love also those filters, wondering which ones. Hall of fame

Fruit salad! Yummy, yummy!

I swear this song was on an Australian commercial

Wow cant believe Tame Impala covered one of my favorite Wiggles songs!

FAR OUT!! The wiggles won triple Js hottest 100 for 2021 with this song.

Okay but this dude sounds just like John Lennon and I’m in love with this

1:13 is magical

Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy brought me here. Never thought those words would ever be written!

“He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac, cause he doesn’t like it looking like he looks back” has to be one of the hardest bars of all time

Biggest tune at the Tame Impala gig last week in London. The crowd loved it!

0:21 that little face Kevin makes for half a second gets me everytime

Now I'm here I can appreciate just how much Simon Wiggle's baritone adds to it

Tame Impala makes me happy. Always.

My generations “Come Together” also because he sounds like John Lennon.

Here cos the wiggles. I loved lachys voice and the keys! They smashed it!

I love this song that the fact that when I played The Crew 2 one of my favorite games, I heard this song and I couldn’t resist listening to this again ❤

Incredible song! I love that these Indie bands are bringing back different styles; blues rock, psychedelic and the like. It's interesting! Plus, Tame Impala's body of work is impressive!
