The single with the video. The very 70�s/80�s game show type setting and less that cinematic brilliance type focusing. It rocks! It�s so them. It looks like they�re just doing what they do, live sets to whoever will listen. Julian struts, modestly dances (bops), stamps and whinges, shakes his head, throws a mic stand away and flings the microphone around like a set of keys he doesn�t now what to do with. He allmost knocks Albert right over as he pushes past, bumps into Nikolai who stands rock solid, has a beer during Al�s guitar solo and gives Nick (shag hair on legs) a big smooch on the cheek. Albert pokes his head around like a bird, �fro flapping proudly and stumbles backward during the solo and knocks a mic over fab�s drumkit. Fab smiles undeneathe a mop of hair, keeping as good a time as him, tries to knock it back in place, but ends up knocking the other stand right over, Nick turns around, Fab smiles. Its so very the Strokes.

It�s a cool song. So very cool. The lyrics seem to change when they do it live, it sounds good every way they do it. Albert�s solo is bluesy and it rocks. Fab goes apeshit on the drums and looks like a muppet. Ohhhh I love it!

The beginning is very cool�eases you into the song like foreplay�and then they just fuck that idea and go straight down to rock that business like no one�s business.

Last Nite
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
Oh it turns me off,
When I feel left out"

So I, I turned 'round:
"Oh, baby, don't care no more
I know this for sure,
I'm walkin' out that door"

Well, I've been in town for just now fifteen minutes now
And Baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walkin' for miles

See, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your Grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand...

Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, don't feel so down.
Oh, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I, I turn 'round:
"Oh, baby, gonna be alright"
It was a great big lie
'Cause I left that night, yeah

Oh, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they won't understand
In spaceships, they won't understand
And me, I ain't ever gonna understand...

Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
See, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"

So I, I turn 'round:
"Oh, little girl, I don't care no more.
I know this for sure,
I'm walking out that door," yeah
