Everything About Lemon Demon | Funk McLovin 

this was a very ernest dive into one of the Most artists of our time

I’m 15, I was in a long car ride drawing when cabinet man popped Into my recommended songs and started playing without my consent. That song is so amazing especially when you weren’t expecting to hear it and had never even heard of lemon demon. I went and listened to all of spirit phone and I adore it now, I wanted to find out more about him and I stumbled on your video, thank you for teaching me about this amazing man.

“New Demon On The Rock” Before you had my respect, BUT NOW YOU HAVE MY ADORATION

As someone who sadly only knows two of his songs this is going to be super interesting.

guys spirit phone is not the only lemon demon album 😭

Honestly my first song I ever heard of lemon demons was “two trucks”, went huh, continued on with life. Came back to it two months later for fun and fell in fucking love. He’s just a goofy goober I love his music

NEIL CICIEREGA HAS BEEN MY BEGGEST HYPERFIXATION FOR AWHILE THIS VIDEO IS A GOD SEND

This was a fun watch! I've personally gone through all of Neil's wildly long catalogue (And wrote a big ol' spreadsheet documenting all of it with its... roughly 1000 entries. Literally. I just counted), so it was was cool to see a breakdown of something I feel like me and three other people in the world even know the depths of! Good job!

Hey, Neil is still working on Lemon Demon btw! He mentioned it in a recent 2021 stream, i think its from a smallbu studios stream (an indie game and animation duo that made later alligator and are also Neils neighbours or something), lemon demon stuff is coming! there was official merch made in 2021, but music is coming we just have to be patient!

9:18 - "semi-lost media" actually, a guy found a copy of the album in their closet around 2010-ish - that's where the tracklist comes from! source: former lemon demon expert. everything else seems accurate though, great video

Rn lemon demon is the only thing that brings me joy so i decided to watch this and it was a masterpiece

EVERYONE SLEEPS ON DAMN SKIPPY its such a good album! its my second fav just barely behind dinosaurchestra

Yes! Finally someone brings up I Am Become Christmas! I don't know if I could say it's my favorite of Neil's albums, since he has such an amazing discography and it would be impossible to choose just one, but it's up there and I never see anyone talking about it. So I'm glad you did talk about it in this deep dive.

i still hope disney doesn't own the copyright on It's Gonna Get Weird, i'd love to see it repurposed for something new

This has got to be one of, if not, the greatest deep dives into Lemon Demon there has ever been. But I do have one thing that I would like to say, you forgot the track on the NeedleJuice Records album NeedleJustice which is a collaborative album from almost all of the NeedleJuice artists. Neil’s contribution to the album is a track called Funkytown. I’ll let you listen to it in your own time and personally, I really like it. It’s a sort of Spirit Phone and I Am Become Christmas (specifically the track Aurora Borealis)-like track where it has a hint of the paranormal when it comes to this mysterious town. I hope that you will give it a listen and have a great day!

I really like how spirit phones songs tell a story, I think it really shows just how creative neil is

Im proud to say that the first song Ive ever heard of Lemon Demon was "Two Trucks"

as of about 8 hours ago, neil has posted some new snippets of lemon demon songs to his patreon and they're free to listen to so neil is still working on lemon demon 2023 official real not fake

I'm surprised you didn't mention Fine since it's actually a very popular hit song. Also Brodyquest was a huge thing and probably on par or more popular than Two Trucks Also Touch Tone Telephone would be his most popular song as of now

I discovered lemon demon in a roblox game by playing get a snack at four am and it was playing the ultimate showdown in the store

Christ, only 7,000 views? You deserve so much better from the algorithm. This is the type of genuinely great content that should go viral.

Really appreciate this chill video, and the lovely philosophical elements. Made me feel nostalgia for the silly music that I've grown up to alongside. Thanks for putting it together ^-^

dude i can’t even begin to express how much i love this video. it explains everything i love about lemon demon and neil’s music in general way better than i ever could. a few days ago i was wishing someone would make one of these types of videos about lemon demon and well, here it is!! i can tell you did a lot of research and i really respect that. you did an amazing job at explaining each album’s character and uniqueness and i’ll probably watch this a lot of times in the future 😁😁

HES MAKING A NEW ALBUM!! BACK IN JANUARY OF 2023 NEIL RELEASED SOME SNIPPETS OF NEW SONGS!!!

i actually needed this video bc the lemon demon Phenomena has been a complete mystery to me yet i never felt like looking into it

can't believe i watched that entire fucking video just to hear a goddamn "neil banging out the tunes" reference

"there's likely not going to be another lemon demon album" i don't know if you heard about it but neil released a bunch of snippets of a new album on patreon a few months back. So there will definitely be more.

i have a little problem with this video, because i'm russian, but... thank you so much for this!! i love lemon demon with all my heart, it's like ray of sunshine in my life. Lemon demon's songs always protect me from sadness. i'm very gratefull that i can know more about Neil and his music. thank you for all, Neil. it's little sad that we haven't information on russian RU-vid...

Feeding into my hyperfixation 😭

I think discovering toy food as a 11 year old changed my brain chemistry.

finally, musical chairs recognition

22:04 it wasn't just his first good album, it's his 3rd BEST album in my opinion. IT'S SO GOOD!!!!

ive been burying into the lemon demon wiki and like any obscure website i can find so its really cool to have a compact video full of info

did you know his sister emmy storyboarded on gravity falls

Neil cicierega content and Sam and Max are my two most intense special interests and i physically cannot handle the fact that there is overlap rn i feel like i’m going to explode i’ve been messaging my friends frantically for the past few minutes i am absolutely losing it /pos

Hyakugojyuuichi was published in 2001, the song on Clown Circus is Hyakugojyuuichi 2003

Realizing that 3 of your favorite creators are Neil is a step in every net citizen's development :D

man, this guy was like all I used to listen to a few years back when I was still developing my taste in music. all it took was a single two trucks shitpost and before I knew it I was balls deep into neil's works and this video showed me there's still stuff I haven't heard by him yet. there's actually so many more mashup creators than you would think too, I was actually super surprised you mention Triple Q, they're one of my favorites. If anyone has ever heard of king for another day by the channel SiIvagunner it's like a cesspool of MOUTH-esque combinations of songs in the form of a music tournament and there's just so much of small creators making their own tournaments on soundcloud. Case in point, I would not be the man I am today without Neil and I this video was a pleasure to watch from start to finish.

as someone who got into lemon demon the same year as you i never knew i needed a music snob discography deep dive of neil's works until now. Thank u

His earliest work also lets us know he was an Oingo Boingo fan! As the first song you use samples Who Do You Want To Be by them

I LOVED LEMON DEMON SINCE 2019 AND WILL CONTINUE LOVING IT 🫶🫶🫶

I actually really enjoyed this even if I didn't know much about Lemon Demon before this video. Keep it up Funk!

As someone who's known of neil/LD and his works since 2020 (thanks to a specific mashup song *cough* The End *cough* (hell, maybe even earlier considering ive always known about ultimate showdown for like a decade at this point, just never knew who it was by until later)) I always enjoy watching/listening to these deep dive videos about him whenever they get recommended to me, i swear ive watched like 10+ since my initial discovery of neil. Genuinely great and informative video, good work!

youtube recommendations just can’t take a hint despite the fact that I love watching fan animations to go with lemon demon songs. WHY AM I LATE TO THIS VIDEO??? I love this vid, I love lemon demon, and I love that it came out a day before my birthday. This video is AMAZING!

Just remember: you gotta stay the hell out of funkytown

hell yeah one hour long lemon demon history video

this is too underrated please its one hour long- just finished watching it all >:D

my life is so full of whimsy bc of lemon demon neil cicierega

back in january neil released samples of new lemon demon songs :D its on his pateron for free

What a wonderful documentary. As a lifelong Lemon Demon fan, I really appreciate it. Thank you!

Lemon demon was the only reason I survived middle school

I am officially hyperfixated on Lemond Demon now Thank you ‼️‼️🗣️

in conclusion: OMGGGG NEIL CICIEREGAAAAA😍😍😍

I was too distracted singing along to the songs to pay attention to the video. Jokes aside, I really love this video. It showcases everything I love about Lemon Demon.

Oh man! I can’t believe I missed seeing this video for so long! I was really missing out!! You did SUCH a great job on this. Tons of research and time and effort went into this and it shows! Thank you so much for educating me on one of my favorite artists. I didn’t even realize the same guy was behind all these different internet favorites of mine! And posting it online where everyone could be enriched by your hard work for free? Truly generous. Thank you very very much sir! I remember when Ultimate Showdown first came out back when I was in highschool. God I laughed for weeks :)

One day I was listening to Fine one day at school and my friend said you should listen to the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. After I listen to that I made a deep dive into Lemon Demon and I saw Touch-Tone Telephone (Yes I was an animation kid...) But after that I fell in love with the music.

Awesome video. Always great to take a trip down Lemon Demon memory lane, and to hear the experiences of other lemon demon old heads. Loved your perspective on Neil's early music. I always felt a bit embarrased back then, trying to introduce people to Lemon Demon, because Neil's voice was weird and the tracks were poorly mixed, but it was never about those things. It was the soul, the DIY spirit, the ambition and ideas that so enraptured me. It's beautiful to see people still embracing the old albums, even with Neil's newer highly polished work. As others have pointed out, Neil dropped some future track snippets on his patreon a while back. I don't think Spirit Phone is the last we've heard of the Lemon Demon, but I've also settled into being satisfied with what we've got for however long it may take. Spirit Phone is an incredible jewel in all of Neil's work, and it's wonderful just to have in my life.

Also hes gonna post more music soon, at least he suggested he was by posting snippets on patreon similar to 2013 which he did with spirit phone

This video is incredibly well made aswell as detailed and you can really tell how much work and effort was put into this. Thank you for making this video for all of us.

The fact you brought up Damn Skippee and didnt bring up the masterpiece that is Pumpkin Pie is a travesty

Finally, a video that puts all my complex random reasons for loving lemon demon into words in an entertaining way. You did an absolutely awesome job untangling this radical mess of a man's musical project. Good job :D

I have watched this video three times in past past months,I lobe lemon demon sooo much live laugh lemon demon

OH BOSS I LOVED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH! As always, your voice is very nice to listen to!! I'd be so much more than interested if you started making more videos like this one! The formatting was lovely, and the video simply rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!

i like ur channel name… *it reminds me of the name of a lemon demon song*

I'm only 18 seconds in, and I did meet a person once, who actually disliked music. I found them weird. They told me they liked my streams because I made the music quiet, and they got annoyed when streamers played music loudly. They actually exist.

Neil released a bunch of LD snippets a few months ago, so LD's still very much alive.

lemon demon is REAL (NOT CLICKBAIT) That fucking got me

This vid is so informative, you’ve made me listen though all the lemon demon discography, apart from mego vs spago and I’m probably missing some unreleased tracks too. Ive decided that my favourite album is hip to the javabean My favourite song is either atomic copper claw or you evil shadow has a cup of tea. (I may edit this if my taste changes)

Wow, this was such a great video. I loved the philosophy moments.

ive been a fan of lemon demon for Years dude im so excited 💖

lemon demon is like my fav thing ever i loved this video

2013 was the actual first year without lemon demon because of brodyquest

thank you for your contribution to my hyperfixation Mr. McLovin. i will now proceed to consume this entire video at least three times.

throwing up watching this rn (in a good way)

thank you for this it's really well made & researched

Damn this is a really good video for a small channel love it especially love seeing some spot light on neil

He didn’t know that a year later a new single would be released and lemon demon is returning with a new album hopefully not another 8 years this time

I always loved Marketland. It was the first Lemon Demon song I found. When I stop to think about it. Marketland and it's derision of a market economy was a major step for me in taking communism seriously.

i love lemon demon

i literally love this and will redirect my friends and pals here whenever I try to explain why lemon demon is so fantastic

Incredible video! The first philosophical moment spoke to me on a spiritual level.

1:02:39 APRIL 13TH NEIL THE RAT BANGING OUT THE TUNES REFERENCE??1!12!1!2?

I didn’t even realize this was an hour I watched it all. Good work!

How have i literallt never seen this video before. Ive been subscribed to you since the early fnf era and i funking love lemon demon. Pretty cool

THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD IM CRYING, IM ROLLING ON THE FLOR THAT OUTRO WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY😭 No but fr, I love this so much I cried .

first video of yours i've watched and i must say that i didn't even realize it was an hour long until it ended so props to you lol

As an old school Neil fan (since 2004) I was pleasantly surprised how good this deep dive was! There were even a few new things I didn't know! I especially loved your breakdown of song types. The only topic I feel is missing is Lemonic Demonade, that was such an important event in Lemon Demon history

I found out about lemon demon from MY DAD

You forgot about funkytown!!

this video singlehandedly brought my lemon demon era back because he likes sam and max

Dude this video deserves so many more views

I found him from a mix of Deltarune fan amimations and bo en style music. I fell in love with the more modern releases, but just like how I found Evangelion, I noticed the widespread influence that he had from eay before I knew he existed (I was surprised that, for example, he named the Ultimate Showdown in TVTropes). This is a glorious compilation and I absolutely love this kind of video!

holy shit please take pictures of your almanac 2009 copy also there's another album in the works

BRUH HOW THIS ONLY 700 VIEW WTF MAN THIS DESERVES MUCH MORE

Hghrggh I'm gonna have to listen to so many songs when I'm done with this video. Every time I remember particular Lemon Demon songs, I have to go listen to them on loop.

Thank you for making this video!!!

LEMON DEMON LORE??!!

This is an amazing video. And if I had a nickel for every RU-vidr I discovered on accident that had very similar music and media taste and was a also Homestuck I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but jan Misali is in this comment section. Anyways as I am legally and morally obligated to I am now going to beg you to listen to The Scary Jokes. They’re a similarly beep boopy artist who is also with needlejuice and i will never stop recommending it.

I’m a very big lemon demon fan

this was awesome fuelled my autism thank youu❤
