The part where Biggering Once-ler sings "the animal that doesn’t winds up someone else’s lunch" in a dark tone which briefly transitions to HBCIB Once-ler singing in a lighter tone "l-l-l-l-lunch, i'm just saying" before going back to Biggering gave me chills. It gives off the impression of exposing the lies of Illumination, showing us what they never wanted us to see in their movie from 11 years ago.
Okay one thing i love is how the sort of poppy, bright precussion of How Bad is recontextualised against the darker lyrics and instrumentation to sound more akin to a facsist, industrial march
Two bussiness owners handle a big factory and while one of them is driven by greed and pride, the other is more engaged with the propaganda, marketing and being over all the faceman of the company, and their prides collide with eachother's interests, one is in it for the money and the other is in it for the fame.
4:40 wow this gives you chill the biggering oncler repeating his words and always telling you he is biggiring and won't stop the how bad can i be onceler singing the last 4 lines of how bad can i be which are the darkest in both songs
This is absolutely fantastic! It really gives off the vibe like two sides of him are fighting each other. Like he knows what he knows what he’s doing to the environment but he’s actively trying to ignore it.
I love this, it comes across and an old Onceler reflecting on his past mistakes, seeing through all of his past self’s excuses and realizing who he truly was back then
How bad can I possible be is just like “Nuuu it was my destiny I didn’t knew it was bad 😭😭😭😭” Biggering is “Proper explanation to cooperate greed where they care more about profits than anyhting” A mash up would either be corruption of once-ler going from “It’s my destiny” to “Look at my profits” Or it could be he is aware what he is doing is bad and just doesn’t want to stop so he doesn’t lose money
This just feels like a man who’s already gone through the mistake of greed trying to prevent the same mistake being made by a younger person, I guess if the onceler got to meet his younger self this would be what it’s like
When you think about it they’re basically the same song with minor differences when you look at the lyrics But with small lyrics changes and a drastically different tone the original point was lost I’m rambling. This worked masterfully
LYRICS✨ At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff I had a little cottage And that cottage was enough A place where I could sit and knit A place where I could sell my Thneeds But now I've had a little time To re-assess my needs (How bad can I possibly be?) Well, there's a principle of nature (principal of nature) That almost every creature knows Called survival of the fittest (survival of the fittest) And check it, this is how it goes: The animal that wins gotta scratch and fight and claw and bite and punch! And the animal that doesn't (well the animal that doesn't) winds up Someone else's lu-lu-lu-lu-unch! (Munch, munch, munch, munch, munch!) I'm just saying! Because I'm biggering I'm figuring I'm biggering And biggering is triggering More biggering (How bad can I possibly be?) Well, there's a principle in business (principal in business) That everybody knows is sound It's says the people with the money (people with the money) Makes this ever-lovin' world go round! So I'm biggering my company, I'm biggering my factory, I'm biggering my corporate sing! Everybody out there take care if yours and me? I'll take care of mine, mine, mine, mine, mine! (Shake that bottom line!) Let me hear you say 'smogulous smoke' (smogulous smoke) Schloppity schlop (schloppity schlop) Complain all you want, it's never ever, ever, ever gonna stop (stop!) Come on, how bad can I possibly be? How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just building the economy How ba-a-a-ad can I be? Just look at me pettin' this puppy How ba-a-a-ad can I be? A portion of proceeds goes to charity! How ba-a-a-ad can I be? How bad can I possibly be? Let's see! How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doin' what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just following my destiny How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doin' what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doin' what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just following my destiny How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just following my destiny How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doin' what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be! There is a principle of nature That most every creature knows It's called survival of the fittest And this is how it goes The animal that wins has got to Claw and bite and kick and punch The animal that doesn't Winds up someone else's lunch lu-lu-lu-lu-unch! (Munch, munch, munch, munch, munch!) A company's an animal That's trying to survive It's struggling, and fighting Just to keep itself alive I must keep biggering (All the customers are buying!) I'm figuring I'm biggering (All the money's multiplying!) Though biggering is triggering more biggering (And the PR people are lying!) I won't stop! (And the lawyers are denying!) Biggering (Who cares if a few trees are dying?) I'm figuring I'm biggering (This is all so gratifying!) And biggering is triggering more biggering (How bad? How bad can this possibly be?!) And the customers are buying And the money multiplying And the PR people lying And the lawyers are denying Who cares if some things are dying? I don't wanna hear your crying! This is all so gratifying
Both how bad can i be and biggering should have been in the film. Would havw went well as a descent madness for onceler's villain arc in the film. Biggering would have been a darker reprise.
I really feel that the movie could have worked with both HBCIB and Biggering in it, with the former being played when the Once-ler just starts chopping down the first trees while biggering plays when his company has grown and he's getting a lot of money, but is too caught up in his success to care about the damage he's doing to the environment, which would have grown well out of control.
Спасибо тебе большое, я уже давно мечтал о мэшапе "Укрупнения" (Биггеринга) и "Ну разве я плохой"! Получилось потрясающе! (Знаю, есть и другие такие мэшапы, вышли давно и они мне тоже понравились, но этот по своему очень крут.) Thank you very much, I've been dreaming about the "Biggering" and "How bad can i be" mashup for a long time! It turned out amazing!
