Cuckoo - Rob Cantor 

catchiest song about child labor.

well that went from "haha funy cuckoo clock" to "child slavery" real quick

i like how rob progressively gets more british

I imagine this song was done as a demo for Disney to showcase his talents. "Can you make a villain's song?" "Uh huh, child labor, yeah."

considering the amount of work rob has done for disney, I wouldn't be surprised to hear this as a villain song in an upcoming disney movie

You know he's truly evil because he included a british person in this song.

What's great about this song tells a story with no other context.

why is no one acknowledging that rob played fucking FUR ELISE on his guitar and it BANGS

Rob is a pretty good antagonist

This plays like the theme song to a movie about an evil clock maker trying to enslave the world to time, titled The Ruler of Everything.

How Rob Cantor hasn’t been cast as a musical villain of ANY Disney cartoon is beyond me. He’s literally perfect to be like an Owl House villain or something.

this is such a good song, I can't believe it would've been lost completely if someone hadnt found it on some obscure, old website.. rob better explain himself

This song sounds exactly like the villain song of a mainline disney film, Rob Cantor should play a disney villain

he's so evil he switched his necktie color

Wait a second: Clocks? Egotistical man? Scams? Powerful job? Hmmmmmm I feel like I have heard of this story in another song 🤔

Rob went on to make children's songs.

any suffix that has a "ck," Rob pronounces it as if it has a "que."

I wish Rob would make more villain-type songs, he’s astonishingly good at it.

This is very "musical villain song" I love it

No one's talking about how Rob eats meat with spoons

The motif at 0:36 must have been an intentional addition highlighting the relation between child labor and the holidays.

The child slavery while a big plot twist, the biggest one was at the end where he revealed he was british

Lyrics. There will be people going cuckoo for my cuckoos Feeble minds enamored by the clock Just a strain of that refrain, it's like candy for the brain They'll be lining up around the block Courtesy of nimble little fingers There's a folksy kind of antique, homemade touch But the really big advantage of enslaving little children is that you don't have to pay them much "What a fancy clock," they'll say Any price I set, they'll pay With a tune their hearts desire It's a Flouglemire "What a wonderful song," they'll cry If you stand too close, you'll die It's a melody pure and nice They'll pay triple price! We'll export them out to England, France, and China They'll adore them in the northern ports of Spain Every nation, adoration, freakin' worldwide domination We'll be riding on the gravy train We'll be mopping up the money in the morning We'll be rolling in our riches, afternoon In the evening we'll dine on the finest meat and wine And we'll eat it with a silver spoon "What a fancy spoon," they'll say ("Can I take your coat?") You may ("He's a cuckoo clock supplier, Mr. Flouglemire") And we're sorry but no COD But we offer a full warranty But the warranty already expired You've been Flouglemired (Ha!) "What a fancy clock," they'll shout ("What a pretty little tune comes out") I shall have my just desserts Now get these orphans back to work!

Normal people: You got trolled! Intellectuals: You’ve been Flügelmeiered, Ha!

huh... never thought id hear rob cantor sing the advantage of child labor while a picture of him just stares at me.

I love how you can tell the other guy is specifically his sidekick, not just an extra voice for the heck of it

i like the fact that zubin's link in the description is just a photo of him

i would like to formally announce that i will be adding the phrase "you've been flouglemired" to my vocabulary

I think Rob could be the coldest person if he wanted to, he plays the role so well. The villain role was made just for Rob Cantor. His voice, the melody everything brings this song together very nicely. The story ties it in a little bow

He has the best, clearest voice 😭

From what I've heard from The Documentary, this could have been a work that Disney wanted to hear to test Rob's song making abilities

when i grow up im gonna work at disney just so i can hire rob to write a villain song for me

This is Rob Cantor's The Mind Electric. It has a sick beat & story

i love rob cantor and his relatable music

i always thought tallyhall and whatnot reminded me of series of unfortunate events it really shows in this boi

Incredibles 3 villain confirmed; Mr. Flouglemire! he enslaves the worlds children to build clocks that control the minds of adults.

Man Willy Wonka's really changed over the years

i really hate that hes wearing a blue tie

I've been flugemired 😫😫

This is the *third* worst thing that happened to these orphans.

There will be people going cuckoo for my cuckoos. Feeble minds enamored by the clock. Just a strain of that refrain It's like candy for the brain. They'll be lining up around the block... Courtesy of nimble little fingers. There's a folksy kind of antique homemade touch. But the really big advantage Of enslaving little children Is that you don't have to pay them much. "What a fancy clock!" They'll say. Any price I set, They'll pay. With a tune their hearts desire. It's a Flouglemire. "What a wonderful song!" They'll cry. If you stand too close, you'll die. It's a melody pure and nice... They'll pay triple price! ... We'll export them out to England, France and China. They'll adore them in the northern ports of Spain. Every nation, adoration. Freakin' world wide domination! We'll be riding on the gravy train! We'll be moping up the money in the morning. We'll be rolling in our riches Afternoon. In the evening we'll dine On the finest meat and wine And we'll eat it with a silver spoon. "What a fancy spoon!" They'll say. "Can I take your coat?" You may. "He's a cuckoo clock supplier! Mr. Flouglemire!" And we're sorry but no C.O.D. But we offer a full warranty. But the warranty already expired. You've been Flouglemired! HA! ... "What a fancy clock!" They'll shout! "What a pretty little tune comes out!" I shall have my just desserts! Now get these orphans back to work!

WAIT HOLY CRAP HIS TIE IS THE WRONG COLOR!!!!!!!

me on my way to getting the orphans back to work

I pressed the Zubin link on the description. I am not disappointed

What happens when you let a british person write lyrics for your song:

Ross must've possessed him why else would he write a song that heavily involves the sound birds(fake or otherwise) make

"What a pretty little tune"

How do you eat meat with a spoon

I can't be the only one who noticed that this is literally just Für Elise with the chords divided up into 4/8 time, right? The verses use the same chords as the first part of the main melody, and chorus is when the chords change to major breifly.

THIS IS SUCH A FREAKING JAM AGH

If I wasn’t so lazy I would’ve added this mp3 to my Spotify playlist months ago ☠️

Fun fact: Vogel (pronounced foe-gull) Meier means something like "bird steward" in standard German.

That für Elise sneak it tho..

It sounds like something count olaf would sing.

I can’t get over the british accent at 2:50

It sounds so flipping catchy and good. Heck you Rob ;(

God DAMN. Why does a song about child labor slap so hard?

NOW THIS IS THE SHIT I LIKE TO HEAR RIGHT HERE

Rob Cantor is my favorite disney villain

Sings about Shia LaBeouf being a cannibal Sings about child labor What's going on in that guys head lmao

I really like this but I don't think it's from the asteroid musical as some people think. No "Fluglemeyer" or "Cuckoo clock" was ever mentioned in the plot.

TALLY HALL DISCORD FTW

I've had this song stuck in my head for months now... If I wasn't so lazy, I'd probably try to animate something to go with it... I've been thinking about it at least... I can't actually animate, but I sure as hell can draw, so maybe if I learn to actually make animations someday I'll make something... What I've been thinking about was a villain song type of thing, starting off with Mr. Flügelmeier (the guy singing) sitting on an armchair as his lackeys come into the room and he starts explaining his plan, trying to entice them into serving him by making it seem as if they would also get a cut of the earnings, all the while they draw the short stick all throughout the song (like Mr. Flügelmeier handing one of them a clock before it blows up in his lackeys face during the "if you stand too close you'll die" part). During the part with Für Elise, I'd put a short scene of them actually getting richer and richer, before it cuts back to them in the same room, but now with a lot more decoration... and then he yells them to get the orphans back to work. Man... I have so many ideas for the individual parts... I genuinely just don't have the skill or equipment to actually make this... It's driving me crazy! Like, during the "Can I take your coat? You may." part, I'd have Flügelmeier, move from one side of the screen to the other, as if he was playing that scene out with himself and just... I think I'd make him move very... wavy..? If that makes sense... I wanted to write that down here so maybe someday I'll stumble across it again and make it, or someone else will find it and make something idk...

There will be people going cuckoo for my cuckoos 🗣🗣🗣💥💥💥

this song had me in a chokehold during 2020 and i just randomly remembered about it in the shower, honestly reliving memories here

She cuckoos me till I cuckoo

My dumbass really searched up "Villian Clock Song" and this showed up💀

we all know that if this had been a villain song in an animated movie there'd be at least a corner of the internet treating mr flugelmeyer or w/e as the next onceler

Most relatable song ever

This song sounds like a disney villian song--

This is kinda inspiring me to write a short story

Oh wait, it's Flügelmeier. Flügel means "wing" and meier" means something like "steward" in standard German.

Ruler of Everything and This together is a bop

Tally Hall and its members should make a jukebox musical: Example 1:

"there will be pee"

HELP THE INSTRUMENTAL REMINDS ME OF PVZ WHY😭😭😭😭😭😭

i can imagine a brilliantly 2D animated music video of black and white silhouettes depicting what the song's describing. this is great. :)

I want a movie made just around this song. It's that good.

The last line sounds like it was shouted by Benedict Cumberbatch and now I wanna see a movie based on this song where Benedict play the antagonist, Mr. Flugelmeyer. Maybe, it'd be about a kid or two who had escaped Flugelmeyer's workshop and go on an adventure to defeat/expose Flugelmeyer and free the other kids. Edit: Actually, to add on, I feel like this would be animated and this song would be one of the first songs in the movie as an introduction for the conflict and antagonist. It could also be a way to get a peek at the protagonists. I've been having so many ideas about this song and I really wanna make an animatic haha

I don't know how the song makes me feel but damn it's good

I support child labor/slavery!

This makes me associate The Narrator character from the Tally Hall Internet Show with Ruler Of Everything more, he shouldn’t have made a antagonist-like song with a British voice in it while also making it line up with a theme of clocks. Adding onto this more: british antagonist character, The Narrator, was literally played by Rob. I’m so happy

It is a crime I can’t find this on spotify

rob cantor is the best bad guy ever

this feels like the sequel to break it down and this is rob's idea

this makes me want to write a musical about a clock company that uses child labor and an orphan working there finds out that one of the clocks can manipulate time and uses it to take down the company OR, same concept but the clocks are secretly alive and are eating some of the children, but one faulty clock teams up with the kids

how do you eat wine *and with a spoon???*

this guy kinda sounds like rob cantor

Mechanical hands are the ruler of everything.

He needs to make his own musical! xD

Elon Musk theme song

I miss Rob

fur elise if it was actually good

i feel like if this was made back in 2012 someone would make a onceler animation with it. i'm so sorry i had to put that image in your mind.

1:43 onward is a hardcore bop

Why is his tie not yellow in this photo? I'm literally shitting and crying rn

This would have been lost media if it wasn't archived!! Thank goodness and its an amazing song from Rob too. Stay strong Tally Hall community 💪✊

suddenly making a plot of an entire movie because of this song

absolutely flougelmired

Most people say that this was for a cancelled movie or cartoon But I think this was most likely for a cancelled music video
