It’s May 5, which means the date is 5/05. For many fans this means it’s (unofficially) Arctic Monkeys Day. It’s been 12 years since the band formed in 2003, and a good 10 years since their debut album. While the band has evolved, so has its members and whether we like it or not, they aren’t the same lads they were all those years ago. But, on this day especially, I think we can all appreciate them for the amazing musicians they are and the outstanding five albums they’ve created in such a short amount of time!

In honor of Arctic Monkeys Day (505), here are some of my favorite performances of the song, “505.”

Arctic Monkeys performing at the iTunes Festival 2013: Who could forget this one except maybe Alex Turner himself: I can’t remember the fucking words…

And here is the studio version



Happy Arctic Monkeys day everyone.
