Red Flags ft. Montaigne

A spooky ghost story to tell on Halloween night, or an uplifting love ballad that should definitely be turned into a rom com? (Ryan Reynolds/Barrymore). Massive thanks to Montaigne, what a legend!

[MythicFox]

I can't help but imagine him asking her to tell him the plot was less "I haven't seen the movie" and more "confirming that's the movie she meant."

[TheMimzez]

"we can save on catering, only one mouth to feed" that line hit me like a truck. fucking lyrical genius

[Etc-kdpm]

Fun fact: This was my first exposure to human centipede
I did not know it was a movie
I did not know it was a live action movie

[buffbarneystan]

The pause between "Is this because your date is a freak?"
".... No"
Gets me every fucking time

[EweofLittleFaith]

Have to say that Montaigne nailed Tom’s signature end-of-song smile.

[electronegative]

I'm convinced that Tom intentionally makes the catchiest parts of his songs the most awkward to sing in public just to mess with us.

[Volair]

Saw the animated version first and this live version has a far more sinister vibe. Both are fantastic

[Takapon]

The absolute power in her voice when she says “the best movie of all, a masterpiece of art called—“ is so unnecessarily amazing

[ronove]

It's hilarious to me that *this* is the song where I first heard Montaigne, and not her fucking *Eurovision* entry song or something like that lmao

[kevinforbesofficial]

I can't decide which delivery is better - the animated version's manic glee, or Montaigne's chilling serenity

[yphre]

I hate that the chorus is so catchy that my brain randomly pulls it up and I have to actively stop myself from loudly singing "hu-man Centi-pede" at work

[Andrew_Shepherd]

I love how she threatens to stab his eye and then goes on to say "you're hiding behind fake red flags"

[suzanneklare]

After seeing this I looked up the plot to The Human Centipede out of morbid curiosity, and I also read the synopsis of its two sequels. The sequels get pretty meta: in the second movie, the first human centipede movie is the main characters favourite and he attempts to create his own human centipede. In the third movie, a prison ward (?) has seen both the first and second human centipede movies and wants to make a human centipede out of the prisoners. Human centipede movies like to have other movies in the series canonically exist within them.

What am I trying to say? This video could have very well been the plot of another human centipede movie. I don't know if Tom did this on purpose, but if he did, that's very clever

[fevley]

“Stop hiding behind your silly, made-up red flag” is such a HUGE red flag you guys. This song is so great, I love Montaigne

[tomorrowstom]

“That way we can save on the catering bill” is such an underrated line 😭

[wr]

Just remember - the fact that this song exists means that Montaigne was at home practising these lines confusing the hell out of her neighbours.

[FiePige]

I love that the song isn't titled "Human Centipede" it makes the answer hit so much harder the first time you hear it

[queerlang]

I love how the most emotive she gets in the song is "I can finally sew a mouth to a butt"

[dr.bright]

Tom: putting his everything into his dances
Montaigne: **stands aggressively **

[Jahavasaud]

Great Part: While she's giving off 'red flags', she never blinks.
Another Great Part: When Tom gets into the idea, he too stops blinking.
