Just had my second listen (it's addictive) and it sounds even better than the first time. I love this song!

Nothing like as weird as Hungarian! The only two words I recognised over there were chocolate and laptop. I couldn't even attempt to spell them in Hungarian though.

Ahh! This is so chilled out and lovely!

I sneakily downloaded it after the video stopped working because I had it loaded on my computer before it was taken down. Only listened to it once, liked it, played it on my ukulele and now forgotten it completely. Don't think I am going to listen again or look at the lyrics; it doesn't seem right to actually know it. But having heard it is a special feeling!

Wowzers! It's great! I'm such a hippocryte!

Apart from I had it already buffered on my computer by accident. Maybe it's fate that I should hear it!

I guess you're right- if he really wanted the film to be secret, he wouldn't have performed it at all the gigs so far on this tour, or allowed it to be used in a film. One thing before I watch though- is the sound quality and the performance quality good?

Yikes! Maybe I shouldn't then... ...unless that's my only chance of meeting him in person...

Does that mean he doesn't mind me hearing the song now then?

Because Century Man is a very secretive and special song, that Mika doesn't want to be posted on youtube. Wouldn't it be cool to keep it mysterious? I do really want to hear it, but I think hearing a bad-quality video on youtube would probably be a bit of an anticlimax of what is a very special song (despite the temptation of clicking on the video being enormous). It would be much more exciting to hear it live!

So interesting! Thanks for posting- and I imagine this one really was an effort to post.

Mika looks so handsome with all that hair! I'm desperate to hear century man, but live, not off YouTube. Maybe difficult as I'm in the UK.

Despite my limited French, it looks to me like Mika might have been joking/lying slightly when he said that...or at least I hope it's the case. And at least it's not cigarettes he smokes if he does at all. I smoked 'weeds' at Scout camp. (Set fire to a hollow bit of wood, blow it out and insert the other end into the mouth.) It tastes nice, and it's fun to blow the smoke out,but is probably not brilliant for one's health! Although I imagine unless inhaling deeply does no more harm than sitting round a campfire in the first place. I have no intention of smoking real weed or anything else though. Too risky!

And what about his dog called Gertrude, being 'bisexual etc. He makes a lot of stuff up! I seriously hope he doesn't smoke though- disgusting and dangerous habit.

T4P! Seems empire of the sun are still brilliant and extremely weird! I didn't even realise they were still together.

Well at the mika concert I went to someone threw two naked action men on stage. It doesn't get much more inappropriate or weird than that, but Mika played around for ages with them. Just bring whatever you want, something funny or something special, I think Mika would be genuinely grateful for any gift you gave him.

Realising that (1/3)^4= 0.01243567890123... The only joy I have found in the binomial distribution so far!

Trollolol! I heard today at school that it wasn't MIKA doing eurovision. I can't say it's a surprise but it is definitely a relief!

That's sad. But I wish you good luck and success in everything you need to focus on. Hopefully you will come back and 'visit' from time-to-time!

Woohoo! Mika is writing more acoustic songs for a new album already! And I love Billy Joel! That just made my day. T4P!

Who are 'Mr Zippy and his acid friends'?

Wow! This is so interesting! That would not be my take on things, but this really makes sense. And it definitely does seem, unfortunately, that TBWKTM caused the 'exclusivity' of TOOL, or at least the fall of popular mika.

I'm lying in bed looking at my mika display of albums. The first two are wonderfully busy cartoons of all the characters featured in the songs. The 3rd is a black and white picture of mika's face. One of the more common things about TOOL is that there are no quirky creatures/characters featured in the songs, he just sings about love as a feeling. I think (and he might have hinted at this in interviews), since the first two albums (and coming out), he is able to write about himself, rather than 'turning himself into other characters'. Maybe this makes his songs more meaningful, but I quite like the old style. I think that is (was) one of the things that makes mika's music unique.

Welcome to the MFC! Nice to meet you! Don't be nervous- your English is great- unlike my korean!

Woohoo! His hair has made a comeback!! And does this mean he's less gay than we thought or is it like the DVT relationship? I thought Fergie was a boy till I saw those pictures! Just shows how little attention I pay to celebrities.
