Synopsis

Pulled Apart By Horses turn "Yeah Buddy" into a chaotic, surreal party rampage. The band perform amid garish colors, masks, bizarre props and increasingly unruly behavior, while a dinosaur-like figure and drunken, destructive antics push the clip toward cartoonish anarchy. Fireworks, flying bananas and other random visual gags match the song's mix of heavy riffs, absurd humor and manic energy. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the video plays like a deliberately unruly snapshot of the band's irreverent live-show personality.

Factoids & Trivia

• "Yeah Buddy" was released as a single by Transgressive Records on November 29, 2010, after appearing on the band's self-titled debut album.

• The song was originally called "Heavy Metal Gay Bars," reflecting the band's view that it sounded like two very different songs joined together.

• The band said the lyrics were inspired partly by watching videos of bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman. His catchphrases, including "Yeah buddy" and "Lightweight baby," helped shape the song's vocal character.

• The heavily chanted vocals at the end of the track were improvised in the studio. The band kept the take, including audible laughter, and continued performing it that way live.

• The video's masks and deliberately unruly imagery were seen at the time as a concise representation of Pulled Apart By Horses' chaotic, playful identity.

• The clip's surreal party imagery echoes the song's tongue-in-cheek lyrics rather than attempting to provide a literal storyline. Its random props and cartoonish behavior are part of the joke.

• "Yeah Buddy" followed "High Five, Swan Dive, Nose Dive" as another single from the debut album, helping establish the Leeds band's reputation for combining abrasive rock with unusually catchy and silly hooks.
