Kiss Me (Kill Me) 

I didn't know the first half was a real song, so I shat myself when it came on the radio

shout out to the chick who walked right into a forest from a silent hill game and didn't see any red flags until the person she was with couldn't tell her their father's name

The song mentions blowflys, which can cause Myiasis, defined by the cdc as "the infection of a fly larva (maggot) in human tissue." She then goes on to talk about eggs inside her.

“-and we’re just ignoring the ‘melting’ part??” Yes detective, try to keep up

I have an obsession and I must do something with it

"Your bones will harden and your skin will slough" is such a disturbing thing to promise someone. I love how chilling it is

Honestly she sounds like the type of person to Kiss a boys face then end up Living happily in a mid-range apartment building with her 2 children (who are not orphans and/or grieving for their mother, who is still very much alive.)

i love how they mention the stutter on the “bring bring” part but neither of them point out how she verbally says “sniff sniff”

Fun fact: when the protagonist says it smells “sickly sweet” it could also pertain to bodies. People when they die usually smell flowery as they begin to decompose. Due to this, it implies their could be many more deaths than just her (the police also smelt the bodies, as reported in the note)

"Kill me, I'll only wake up stronger" only for her to get back up singing "KISS ME" again makes me feel like one bullet wasn't enough to kill her. Almost as if she was saying "kill me now, because you won't get a second chance."

I love the moment where it sounds like she becomes lucid a little bit and realizes all the fucked up shit happening around her, but it's too late.

I admire her continuing to sing while her body is overtaken by an unknown organism. The definition of 'commit to the bit'.

Loving the implication that this is some form of security system to stop people stealing classified files, where it just shows you the most fucked up unexplained case to stop you from looking up more classified files

I see a lot of people theorizing but nobody mentioning this specific thing, but here: TL76's chat messages saying to leave the files alone and escape as soon as possible, followed later by "It's impossible. I hear the voice of long-dead loved ones calling out to leave quickly" - i think the implication here is that we (or whatever character is in first person) are already too late by that point - we're already having the symptoms of the parasite or eldritch creature before they're even mentioned in the song. We had a long-dead person calling out to us via chat to leave quickly. Yet it was too late.

Dang that note on the side at the end is chilling: *REMEMBER* It’s perfectly fine to steal *CONFIDENTIAL* files. Take them. Spread them around. Do *WHATEVER* you want. No one will believe you anyway.

"Are there bugs on me? I FEEL THE OOZING CREEPING THROBBING EGGS ALL SHIFTING INSIDE ME" Is such disgusting lyrics to me and yet really fits into the song so I'm pretty happy with it

6:12 On top of this song being horrifying, there's just this moment it becomes quiet and genuinely tragic. She sounds so innocent and helpless to do anything. It honestly breaks my heart.

"No one will believe you anyway." No idea why, but that part sticks with me the hardest.

This feels like two people accidentally invoking the wrath of an eldritch deity. From "the bubbling crow skulls" to "the melting tree stumps" and even the "black, wet chains", everything seems like it's decaying on a molecular level, which when you put into perspective, makes the sounds the singer makes when they get infected all the more horrific, assuming that they're decaying in a completely unnatural way while they're still completely alive and conscious. This is the kind of horror that chills me.

When you're full of mind altering parasites, but you want to commit to your bit to the very end, even when whatever's left of you isn't exactly you anymore:

"I hear the voice of long dead loved ones calling out to leave quickly" is a line so fucked up and haunting and it seems totally out of place in a what seems more like a science-based story. I just know I'll have nightmares tonight.

Just wanted to point out, the computer has veins like the trees she saw did, and also appears to be melting like the stumps. We hear a dead loved one call out to us (thinlizzy) just like she did. The POV character is 1000% going through the stages of infection. The "kiss me" and "hide hide" we hear at the end after the pov char walks away from the computer...may simply just be coming from us.

I was stocking merchandise in a store when the original "Kiss Me" came on over the in-store radio. I immediately froze and tensed up as a cold shiver went down my spine.

"A second's pain gives way to pleasures only dreamed of" Is it scarier if she's lying, or if she isn't?

Considering that it's classed as a missing persons case and not murder, and there's no mention of a body, AND considering that final scene, she's still out there.

I love the professional's comments. "Are we just going to ignore the "melting" part??" My man's seeing a problem nobody else cares enough to realize.

2:50 how is nobody talking about the fact that ThinLizzy_76, the absolute chad who seemingly sacrificed himself to protect the protagonist from when the boys came back to town somehow managed to survive!! I’m so happy for that badass!

I need this to become a full on analogue horror series, this is the coolest use of music parody I've ever seen and it works on so many levels

I thought the “are there bugs on me” line was just a standard creepy line, implying that the singer is paranoid, but that crawling sensation may be the source of the infection and the eggs

I was watching this video while in a car but then paused. I looked out of the window and was confused because I could still hear it playing. It took me a second to realize I was hearing the original song playing on the radio. With how the song sounds and the horror vibes it engrained in my head, that was honestly freaky.

"character A gets infected, tries to kill/infect character B in their manic state, but character A gets incapacitated and snaps out of it for a moment, begging to die because they know they'll get up, and they know itll be impossible to kill them then" has to be my favorite kind of tragedy, every time I see it done this well, I cant be sure if I love or hate it

Can we acknowledge that the weird parasite creature was singing for no reason

worst part is that she's aware of her transformation, she knows its coming. she can feel it. even after it's finally finished, she's still aware. shivers.

This and Boys Are Back are essential Halloween media.

what an absolutely perfect follow-up to *boys are back in town (to kill you)*. that video was my obsession for so long -- it inspired me to no end. i would draw the pumpkin guys all over my sketchbooks and whatnot. i can't believe it released three entire years ago! been listening since your game grumps remixes from almost a decade ago (?!?!), you continue to kill it to this day. even if you're not here to stay, it's still great to have you back.

I so love the little "boys are back in town" motif playing when GourdCop comes in at 01:30. It's so cute and weirdly wholesome

1:52 Just realized that the case file changed from a murder case to a missing persons case, implying that either the gunshot didn't kill her or this is about the pov character's son as opposed to the actual murder

NOTABLE THINGS IN THIS VIDEO: 1:26 image at is the same monitor as in TBABIT(TKY), background and everything, implying that the POV in that video sadly succumbed to The Boys after all. this report also tells us the incident happened on 31/10/1998. another thing of note is that the name of the report is R21-311098-013. the monitor is also oozing in the same way our monitor in this video does later on, implying the two incidents are caused by the same thing 1:48 when gourdcop helps, he pulls up a different file, NOT the one we were looking for. this incident occurred on 12/08/1998, two and a half months before The Boys Incident, and the name of the report is M28-120898-001, confirming the middle numbers refers to the date. 001 usually indicates that something is the first (or only) with the name preceding it, which would imply that the death of the POV in TBABIT(TKY) was the 13th incident that same day. also notable is that while this incident is categorized as "missing persons", the TBABIT(TKY) case is categorized as a "single murder" 2:40 as cottoncandylesbo pointed out, blowflies are the kind of flies that lay their eggs in corpses, as the singer experiences later on 2:49 TL76 is for sure thinliz_76, the person who warned the POV in TBABIT(TKY) and was subsequently killed for not telling The Boys where we could be found. thinliz_76 was also searched for at the start of the video. the lyrics later has the singer claim to "hear the voice of long-dead loved ones calling out to leave quickly" which is exactly what the dead thinliz_76 is doing. but if the POV for TBABIT(TKY) is dead, are we a different loved one of thinliz_76? gourdcop closes the window and snickers, then narrows their eyes. just in case you wondered if they were on our side 4:03 FATHER is underlined and circles to the YOU in YOUR, implying WE are the singer's friend's father. earlier in the video gourdcop also removed the "[COMMENT REDACTED]" that was attached to the first "father" line as if they dont want us to know. so it is our map they are following. did our child take it without our permission, or did we purposefully use it to trap the two? i doubt the map was always made of human skin, and that this is most likely the result of being near whatever is causing this (same thing happened with the trees and is happening to our computer monitor as the video goes on). 5:06 as Countered Snow pointed out, the text here is the same as the ominous, "opposite meaning" text in TBABIT(TKY) as well as in photograph. this leads me to believe these lyrics aren't what the singer actually wants or believes, but what the thing that's infected her wants you to hear. the text is blue again on the last line, so your bones really WILL harden and your skin with slough :) the text then returns to the ominous font, however the lyrics are ALSO displayed in the normal blue font representing the singer, so maybe the singer has accepted the change now and agrees with it? 6:07 same melody as the intro do TBABIT(TKY) 7:08 the last annotation was on 31/10/2001, meaning this video takes place sometime after that. it is however possible that WE are the orange annotation, so it could mean this video takes place on 31/10/2001 exactly. although i dont remember if monitors looked like that back in the day (i was 1), i feel like they didnt yet :P 7:16 the "REMEMBER:" note has been changed. 7:47 its getting closer NOTABLE THINGS FROM PREVIOUS JERRYTERRY VIDEOS: in the last third of photograph the video shows a comment where someones asking what the thing on joeys head actually was (like the lyric from photograph by nickelback). the replies assure them there is nothing joeys head, the accounts all of which have a picture of joey tribbiani from friends, the last one being called "Embrace_Tribbiani". the POV searched for joey tribbiani on google and all the images show joey tribbiani with a green, squid-like being on his head, and half his face has lost its color and is decaying. the POV continues searching what the thing on joeys head is, and text in the same font as in this video and TBABIT(TKY) says "THERE IS NOTHING ON JOEY'S HEAD", "EMBRACE THE MINDFLAYER" and "LOVE HIM". at the end of TBABIT(TKY), right after thinliz_76 is killed and hangs up, the gourdchat now says goredchat lol, though its icon still says gourdchat but it is blue like when it was clicked. "my computer" icon now reads "our computer". the "internet explorer" icon has been changed to The Thing on Joey's Head and reads "nothing". the "my briefcase" icon has been changed to Joey's Head and reads "JoeysHead". at the end of the video one of the images that showed up in photograph of joeys head with "nothing" on his head appears. CONCLUSIONS: the thing that caused this incident is "the mindflayer". i think the mindslayer is attached to the "sweet scent" mentioned in the video - the annotations at the end comment on how the shooter seems to be wearing a hazmat suit to protect against "contamination", and also bring up the sweet scent. maybe contact with it is what causes the monster transformation and/or illusions? the mindflayer may also be the same thing as the thing on joey's head, considering his face is decaying, similar to the rotting descriptions in this video. the mindflayer also affected The Boys back in TBABIT(TKY), what happened to the singer here happened to The Boys before they got Back In Town (To Kill You), they were likely infected while they'd been away. there is also the possibility that none of what the singer experiences is actually real, but, as the police department claims a few times, just a delusion. if it was real you would think the cops would have noticed when they got to the scene of the crime, and 0821 also comments on how the singer's descriptions of her surroundings don't correspond to the actual surroundings after a while. this would also add up with the "mindflayer" name. however contradicting this point is that the monitor in the TBABIT(TKY) report looks the same as it eventually does here, implying it is real after all, but maybe that's an illusion as well EDIT: Tom Baker pointed out its "mindflayer", not "mindslayer" lol, as well as explained that mindflayer is the name of a D&D creature that apparently eats brains, have psychic powers, and parasitically transform other people into mindflayers, all of which add up perfectly with this video and with the thing being on joeys head......... big thanks!! :O the plot thickens feel free to comment if i missed anything :) epic video

I just realized that we might be the singer's boyfriend's father, it makes sense when she says "What was your father's name?" and it circles "you", along with GourdCop redacting the comment when she says "We'll use your father's map." I believe the person she's been talking to is an agent of "The Boys" and after she is infected, she is trying to convince us to join The Boys. It would explain why she initially questions the trees having veins and such, but later says she's "feeling so much better", as if she's accepted the transformation. Also, this probably goes without saying, but GourdCop is *not* on our side. It is actively leading us into a trap, this shows when he closes the chat w/ ThinLiz_76's warning and snickers to himself. It could possibly be an extension of the parasite masquerading as a file recovery/syphoning software, which would line up w/ the computer itself becoming physically corrupted as the analysis progresses. This has happened before, as GourdChat steals the user's computer in The Boys are Back in Town (to Kill You), relabelling the application "My Computer" to "Our Computer." This is also supported by GourdCop's eerie grin after we close the analysis, and the warning against taking confidential files now mockingly encourages us to take them, knowing that no one will believe us. The "Out to Lunch" sign also alludes to us potentially being it's next victim, in reference to how the parasite consumes victims from the inside w/ eggs, and it knows our location (having been with us via GourdCop). On top of that, after we leave the room, there's a distorted voice taunting us, saying "Kiss me, hide hide." Basically, I think The Boys are pursuing us, all the while we're illegally investigating into what our son had to do w/ an unidentified girl's death and ThinLiz_76 is strangely still alive. The parasite itself is most likely the mindflayer from earlier, being referenced by the line "beside the boiling tendrils." Edit: I've also noticed that the singer isn't truly dead as the recording would suggest, since around 7:40, you can hear her in the background saying "Kiss me, kiss me, hide hide." Funnily enough, if you listen closely to it, you'll hear a second voice on-top of her own saying "Help me, help me, help help." I could just be hearing things, but eh. Also, the second time she speaks, there's a red glow on the monitor, and it gets slightly brighter when she speaks the third and final time this video, as if shes physically approaching. So, not only are we potentially being pursued by The Boys, we're being pursued via the girl the police assumed was dead. But how could she have known were we'd be, *unless she knows who we are, and knows we'd try to find answers about her supposed death, as well as everything else happening?* I think we, the user, must related to her in some way. Or, maybe she just has an innate sense of where we are due to her infection, and The Boys are actually one large parasitic hivemind, I'm not sure tbh. Edit 2: I've noticed a lot of people theorizing that we, the pov character we're in, is actually being infected as we watch the tape transcript. I've seen people mention the "long dead loved ones + ThinLiz" thing, the black goop coming from the computer, the voices from offscreen at the end potentially being ours, and I think it's a solid theory. I originally thought the voice belonged to the girl, with the whole "I'll only come back stronger" line, but now I'm not sure what to think.

This video is like a wasps nest. Mesmerizing, entrancing, singing out a beautiful cadence. The worms that consume me have called this beautiful. Can you hear them singing along?

This is what happens when you SLAP THE BOYS' FACE

There's a psychological phenomenon called the Zeigarnik effect which describes how the brain tends to hang onto information it deems to be part of an incomplete task. Songs you don't know well or stop listening to partway through can have an easier time getting stuck in your head because of this. The decision to cut off the end of this song mid-verse was genius because it renders the song "incomplete," and your brain has a harder time letting go of it. It becomes... an earworm. A musical brain parasite. Seems appropriate, no?

i have no idea what this is but i am terrifyied

The "pleasure" part really got me sick THIS is good horror No sudden jump scares No lame edits Just eerieness and ambiguity

The boys, they're back.

This rollarcoaster about having to put down your eldritch girlfriend was something truly special

Everyone else has already covered everything that's brilliant about this in detail, so I'll add that I really like how much character I can glean from the 'consultant' with the orange annotations, just through the text. The idea of this stern, unflappable expert being called in by the regular small-town detectives when they're stumped, sighing cause the beat cops must have missed something obvious again, then being presented with THIS really gets me. The growing sense of frustration and fear as they struggle to make head or tail of the song, in tandem with the audience? Excellent.

I found this song in a body horror themed playlist and was extremely confused at first because i used to listen to the original all the time as a kid, wondered why on earth it would be included until i noticed the lyric changes. Love when old nostalgic stuff gets twisted by internet users into a fucked up elderich horror, like what happened to Garfield.

The way this song ends with no meaningful resolution makes for an infuriatingly powerful earworm. Well done

Hearing the boys' leitmotif when the pumpkin appeared sent chills down my spine

Honestly, the part where the screen clears to white, where this poor girl asks to be put out of her misery is chilling. Fantastic.

My man couldn't remember that the password was Rat Eyes

This is actually horrifying, holy shit

At 2:50, TL76, the person talking in the window that pops up, is probably ThinLiz_76, the person who is giving the warning in The Boys Are Back In Town (to kill you). This means they either survived the Boys, or, more likely, it's the same thing that the singer talks about at 3:29 ("I hear the voice of long dead loved ones calling out to leave quickly"). This means that whatever happened to the people in the song is also likely happening to the dude on the computer, which goes with the off-computer voice at the end saying the same thigs that were said in the song

I love how the meaning of 'kiss me' changes throughout the song In the beginning it's the standard "kiss me because I'm in love with you" In the middle it's the more ominous "kiss me because something bad is happening to me and I need comfort" At the end it's the terrifying "KISS ME SO YOU CAN JOIN ME IN THE ETERNAL BLISS OF THE HIVEMIND"

Everyone's missing the real lore of this song; it's all a meta distraction. The viewer (us) was trying to learn about The Boys, but was quickly intercepted and redirected to a different unrelated case (song). In the end, we're left "infected" by this new song, a new mystery to solve that distracts us from our original goal of The Boys. Truly genius storytelling.

I really do like body horror. But I won't lie, there is something about this that unsettles me to such a degree that I've been thinking about it on and off for the last few days. Every time I do, I feel uneasy right then and there, on the spot. The lyrics and visuals maybe? Who knows. All I know is that this video achieves the goal that it was going for a little too well.

Somethings I noticed: At the beginning of the video, our protagonist is struggling to get into the computer, showing that this is most likely not their computer. I think that they are breaking into this computer to find more information on their friend that was killed by The Boys; the "TL76" that messages our protagonist is most likely ThinLiz_76 from "The Boys Are Back In Town (to kill you)," due to them having the same initials. At 3:29 the Female Singer says "I hear the voices of long-dead loved ones calling out to leave quickly" which is exactly what TL76 tells our protagonist, which adds to the evidence that ThinLiz and TL76 are most likely the same user. For the whole "long dead" part, the computer in this video and TBABITTKY are from completely different eras, showing that it's likely been a long time since that incident. As well as the file our protagonist pulls up is labeled as "311098" which appears to be a date, specifically Halloween of 1998. Going off of the date system, it appears that the Kiss Me incident takes place before The Boys incident, specifically on August 12th of 1998. Later on, after the Singer has been infected with the eggs, the text switches to the same style as seen in "The Boys Are Back in Town (to kill you)" when The Boys are covering up whatever ThinLiz is trying to tell the protagonist. The text is normally the opposite of what ThinLiz says, which is why I think this part is very cool. Everything said in the Red Blue and Black text is something that is either not true or something the singer doesn't want to happen (like her friend Kissing her as it would likely lead to them being infected as well, and the fact that she feels better), however "Your bones will harden and your skin will slough" is not in the special text, which shows that this is at the very least true. The final "So kiss ME" in this segment is partially normal text and partial special text. I think this could show that she truly wants one final kiss from whoever she is with, but the "ME" being in special text could show that she is no longer one single person (hence the eggs in her veins) which is why it is in the special text rather than the normal blue. The "kill me" segment being in blue shows that she is being completely sincere with this request, she isn't feeling so much better and wants to wake up from this scary dream and laugh. As to the path she talks about in this segment? I have no idea, perhaps it's the path seen on her friend's father's map which would lead more creatures like her and The Boys into this world. Her next segment gets cut short due to her being **ahem** neutralized. But as seen in the end of the video, this didn't work, and she only wakes up stronger. other things that don't fit into specific segments: Couple of the melodies from The Boys Are Back in Town (to kill you) are here GourdCop has a different appearance at the end of the video, not too dissimilar to GourdChat guy turning Black at the end of TBABITTKY. Probably some other things I missed, but I'll add them here if I find anything. I believe that this also takes place in the same universe as "photograph" and The Thing on Joey's Head is also an eldritch horror of some kind (perhaps the same one that the Singer is affected by in this video). "photograph" uses the same text as this video and TBABITTKY, namely when saying that there is nothing on Joey's Head (which there most certainly is) and to "Embrace the mindflayer" perhaps the (or a) Mindflayer is what laid the eggs in the Female Singer which turned her into a monster. The singer mentions "boiling tendrils" which the (presumable) Mindflayer on Joey's Head has. The Singer also mentions that her friends "skin will slough" if they kiss her/get the eggs, and in "photograph" we can clearly see that Joey's skin is starting to discolor and decay. Since Friends aired in 1994 I believe that this is the first appearance of the Mindflayer, since "photograph" is so adamant about the thing being on Joey's Head rather than Matt's head. Edit: added some extra evidence and thoughts Edit 2: added some things about "photograph"

I heard this version first and will occasionally feel my blood run cold as the original comes on the work radio. 10/10

I personally believe this incident was a mistake on the girl's friend's part. They found a map from their father and sought to bring their friend on an adventure to explore some old ruins. The earlier lines reference faded warning signs, barricades, and broken walls, indicating they were entering some sort of abandoned facility, one with dangerous materials present. As things go wrong, I think the friend realizes, and runs and hides in fear, past the earlier landmarks, potentially going back to their house, to get their father. Either by phone or just proximity, they call their father to help, which is who shows up at the end, putting down the monster, much against the friend's wishes. Since it was labelled as "missing persons" and not just the murder, I believe the father and the friend then left to flee the incident that was caused, though that's more speculation than anything.

I didn’t actually know Kiss me was a real song; Ild never heard it and assumed you had written it. I cannot even BEGIN to describe the reaction I had on hearing Kiss Me out in the wild on the radio.

i have to say, the lyrics in this song are complete genius. referencing blowflies in the first refrain is brilliant foreshadowing if you know anything about em- they appear on corpses and cadavers, and their eggs hatch to the typical maggots you see on said "rotting meat". i could make a whole analysis on why this video and song are absolute gold. you're insane, jerryterry. your work continues to blow me away.

god, even over a year this still holds up as one of the best pieces of internet horror i’ve ever seen. massive props to you jerryterry.

The singer's voice slowly turning desperate even as the melody stays bright and cheerful.

GourdCop was a real treat to draw. Great music and video as usual my friend!!! The Boy Is Back :)

This was so fun to sing! Thanks for having me❤️

It’s implied that this thing was being contained by the “faded warnings” and “I’ve opened up the path”. It is also implied that the pov character is the father by “you” being circled. The father had a map to the location so maybe he was the one containing it. Ok here’s what I think the full storyline is. The father gets hunted by the boys (aka the infection) in the first video but when they come he actually manages to win somehow. The boys get contained somewhere and you make a map for when you need to go there. Your child decides to follow the map with their girlfriend on a date. They show up to the place and she gets infected and try’s to kill the boyfriend. You show up in a hazmat suit and shoot it but by the this time the boy already got infected. It runs away due to the gunshot and the father goes out hunting for it again. Then the father goes into a police database to try to find more information on it. But through this (or maybe before?) Starts to get infected. The only thing that’s still bothering me is what the fuck is up with goardchat.

the sequel I've been waiting on for so long

It absolutely kills me that we'll have to wait basically another year (until next Halloween) to see a sequel to this. This one was so insanely good that I cannot imagine how the continuation will look.

I find it strange that theres no reaction videos for this thing, despite its views and people making OC animatics for it. I rarely watch reaction videos since a lot are just someone lazily staring like a dead fish, but GOD it would be hysterical to see some poor fella's initial commentary viewing of this descent into madness.

An interesting detail I just noticed. At 4:41 The initial report tries to halt all further investigation, but the two follow up reports dismiss this and continue. When they do, it's followed by a cheery tune even though the next part is the most disturbing part of the tape. The implication appears to be that there are cops actively suppressing the investigation, but the corruption is not so spread that no one is paying attention to the problem. Since one is an outside consultant, and the other is presumably from a different branch given the distinct text standardization, it looks like even just using Gourd software is enough to cause the problem to worsen

Oh boi here it comes some big analysis: To start up with, I think I can identify who the characters might be, if we remember "The boys are back in town", the song talks at some moment about a girl who slapped one of them and now she is dead, but "slapped" is glitched into saying "kissed", and based on the whole lyrics of this song, I think we can ensure this girl is the same one. The boys probably set some short of trap to kill her and take her corpse into their hive mind, proved due to how the text looks after she goes full berserk, being the same font as in the glitched words from "The boys are back in town" along side multiple other smaller texts as representing multiple voices speaking (thing also noticed in this video as we cannot only hear the girl's voice, but multiple others fused within hers) so it's probably not her who is speaking, but the boys through her body all at the same time, and they are aware we are watching. The song also mentions a father, probably the father of the boy the girl is singing to, and there is a moment where it says "What is your father's name?" and the text abruptly focuses on YOU, not YOUR, but YOU, so we can suggest we are actually the boy's father and the same one who took down the girl at the end, also, based on the text from TL76, being ThinLiz_76, we can be sure we are the person he sacrificed himself for and The boys' current target, this would also explain why he tries to warn us about what is happening, because we are starting to have the same symptoms the girl had, seeing someone who is already dead warning us to escape and seeing black goo and veiny textures in whatever we are seeing (the screen in this case), just how in the video it says they found goo near the area and the girl ensures she is seeing the trees throbbing and having veins in them, in addition, after the girl gets fully taken by The boys, they start to directly talk to us, trying to convince us how lending ourselves to them is a positive thing and how we don't even have an option because THEY will find us sooner or later, meaning they are already aware we are in this computer, probably because they are the computer's administrator, which was warned at the start after many incorrect password attempts, and due to how the girl seems to be singing at the background at the end (7:47), it seems they are already here, using the same girl's body to hunt us down. For what seems to be the symptoms and the thing contaminating the girl, it seems to be some short of gas or spores with hallucinogen effects, leading her to be babbling incoherences during this same song and watching things which aren't there such as a long dead loved one or veins, in addition, it's making the girl rot and attract blowflies, which are laying their eggs on her while she is still conscious about it, in addition, when The boys take control of her, she seems to act like some short of zombie, the blowflies are still filling her body with eggs and maggots yet she finds it now pleasurable rather than painful, also, when she manages to fight for control, she begs the one we can suggest to be her boyfriend to kill her, however, she is aware it will just make time for him to run away and search for help, because the other person comes and shoots her down but when police is investigating, they don't find her corpse and at the end (7:47 again) she is approaching the place we are in.

"A second's pain gives way to pleasures only dreamed of" holy shit

Rewatching this over and over again, I feel like it went from scary to painfully sad, especially the part when she begged her boyfriend to kill her and reassured him that it will all seem like a bad dream. There are theories about this ofc, but I'd like to think she was genuinely trying to comfort him knowing they will lose each other either way.

Jerry, this was... fucking scary. Jesus Christ. 'The Boys Are Back in Town' was funny, but this was genuinely horrific. The music is fantastic, but the creepiness is due in large part to the singer's effort. The terrifying story and words reminiscent of a great SCP entry would have fallen flat with a lesser performance. What I mean is a bad actor can ruin the best material, but luckily you have both the best material and the best actor. Fucking phenomenal, man.

I’m wondering if there’s anyone else who didn’t already know this song, and when you realized this wasn’t the original vocals? For me it was the “rotting meat” line.

The line "Why do the trees have veins?" is terrifying to me in ways I can't describe.

god i love ghe visual of the computer screen getting fleshy and pulsing with the music, oh kiss me (kill me) my beloved.

6:06 , that little leitmotif from “the boys are back” is just 👌

The Boys Are Back In Town(To Kill You): Very fun and bouncy overall tone. Kiss Me(Kill Me): You ain't sleepin tonight, buddy.

"Y'know that chick that got up and slapped the boys' face? now she's dead."

My toxic trait is showing this to everyone assuming they'll be okay.

I love how it starts as basically the actual song then by the second verse you just go ‘yeah this isn’t the right song.’

Kiss Me is a song I associate so strongly with my childhood. I was 9 when it came out and would hear it on the radio. It reminds me of pokemon cards and riding my bike to the park down the street; of summer afternoons and watching the Parent Trap on VHS over and over again and it is so gut-bustlingly funny that this is some people's first experience with the song and they don't realize that it's *an actual song* until they hear it in the background over the grocery store speaker. Genius stuff, keep it up!

think the lyrics "why do trees have veins?" And "why does his map feels like human skin" is kinda connected as if she is becoming a tree herself, and her saying your bones will harden and your skin will slough is like a tree also, for the tree is hard inside but its external part is easy to peel

Kiss me (Kiss me) Down by the broken treehouse Swing me (Swing me) Upon its hanging tire Bring bring (Bring bring) Bring your flowered hat We'll take the trail Marked on your father's map (Oh~!) Kiss me Down by the faded warnings Lead me Out through the crumbling wall Lift the barricade Strike up the band And make the blowflies dance Silver moon's darkening So kiss me Kiss me (Kiss me) Beside the melting tree stumps Kiss me (Kiss me) Down on the dead, gray grass Sniff, sniff (Sniff, sniff) It smеlls so sickly sweet But every way I turn Therе's rotting meat (Oh~!) Kiss me Down by the bubbling crow skulls Kiss me Beneath the black wet chains It's impossible I hear the voice of Long-dead loved ones Calling out to leave quickly... So kiss me (Kiss me) Hold me (Hold me) The air got cold so quickly (Kiss me) Kiss me (Hold me) Perhaps we should go in (Kiss me) Wait, wait (Wait, wait) What was your father's name? (Kiss me) Why does his map feel just like (Hold me) Human skin? (Oh~!) (Kiss me) Help me (Kiss me) Beside the boiling tendrils Help me (Kiss Me) Why do the trees have veins? Are there bugs on me? (Wait, wait) I feel the Oozing, creeping, throbbing Eggs all shifting inside me... So help me (Wait, wait) (Help me) (Wait, wait) [Vocals Audibly Distorted] KISS ME (Kiss me) I'M FEELING SO MUCH BETTER KISS ME (Kiss me) AND I CAN MAKE YOU STRONG HIDE HIDE (Hide hide) I'LL FIND YOU SOON ENOUGH Your bones will harden And your skin will slough! (Oh~!) KISS ME YOU CAN'T ESCAPE FOREVER KISS ME I KNOW YOU'LL LIKE THE CHANGE THE EGGS WILL FILL YOUR VEINS LET ME EXPLAIN, A SECONDS PAIN GIVES WAY TO PLEASURES ONLY DREAMED OF.. SO KISS ME [Fading, Deep Voice] (Kiss me.. Kiss me.. Kiss me.. Kiss me..) [Softer Vocals] Kill me I won't stay down much longer Kill me I'll only wake up stronger Kill me I've opened up the path You'll wake up from this Scary dream and laugh.. [Distorted Vocals] (Oh~!) KISS ME! YOU'LL NEVER-

normal Analog Horror couldn’t make you this scared and this *PUMPED UP TO DANCE AT THE SAME TIME WOOOOOOOOOO*

"Kill me, I'll only wake up stronger," May not have been her warning that she couldn't simply be knocked unconscious/non-lethally detained, otherwise she'd "wake up stronger,"... But rather, knowing that she's immortal and killing her will only make her wake up stronger. She was asking to be made stronger.

07:16 "Take them. Spread them around. Do *WHATEVER* you want. No one will believe you anyway." Holy shit

Was recently out at the supermarket, and Kiss Me by Ten Pence None The Richer came on on the overhead speakers, and it filled me with a sense of immense dread. Thanks JerryTerry! :D

Ah, the classic interrogation technique of Gourd Cop Bad Cop.

1:14 Decyphering the catalogue system: R21 prefix: Murder (single) R28 prefix: Missing person (single) 6-digit code is DD/MM/YY Unk: Unknown Circ: Circumstance Insuff: Insufficiant Vic ID: Victim ID Using this info we can deduce: Gourdchat was in use up from at least May 1997 and discontinued some time after February 2000 after the creator was killed.

I feel like we are all underestimating gourdchat's role in all this given that it has dozens of reports in the police department and in the original boy's video appears to be manipulated by the boys as well as being what our POV character choses to search after the boys and thinliz_76(the speaker for the boys video as well as potentially the person working with the POV in this one TL76?) fail to get any results. Tying Gourdchat into the boys and their cosmic horror style infection perhaps as a tool they use and can freely manipulate in addition there is obviously gourdcop from this video who seems to be pretty clearly a pawn of this redirecting the focus from the incident from the boys video to the seemly infectious case from this video as well as close TL76's warning and finally as what may be either the most damming or least damming piece of evidence of all is what I believe to be the gourdchat leitmotif at 6:07 which seems to have a sense of importance even if I'm not sure what yet as it also seems to be right as she steals her senses back (personal note: don't you hate it when you make a comment but it accidentally gets deleted before you can post it so you have to rewrite it but the second time is undeniably worse and a poorly summarized version of your original comment)

I saw this before The Boys, had never heard the original song, and didn't even know this was going to be a song, but can confirm that even without any of that info this was still dope. Whatever ambience is going on in the beginning instantly had me cautious and engaged. Even the cute derpy part of the song didn't feel right, since I knew this was a police analysis for a missing persons case, and the annotations ensured I wouldn't forget it either. This has such a good tone to it. Its not the kind of horror that makes me scream, but the kind of stuff that feels so.... sickly and vile. Its like getting a high fever in the middle of the night and laying half awake and confused. I got such a sinking feeling from listening to 5:05 for the first time. The dread and buildup and overall weirdness is great. Also the instruments at 5:27 are golden. I have no clue what to call the "intense action/horror film two notes falling in succession" thing that happened, but I love it. It really brings home the whole "oh shit oh fuck she's violent get the hell outta there right now" feeling.

I feel like a really underappreciated/underanalyzed line in this is “What was your father’s name? Why does this map feel just like human skin?”. It brings up a big question about the map and the person being sung to. Did they know where the map would lead them? Did they bring her there to get infected with the eggs intentionally, or did they know she was infected and bring her out there to get her away from others? It makes you wonder if the person being sung to was as much of a victim as they’re portrayed to be.

musical horror is such an underexplored genre, I can't wait to see where this series goes from here if you do any more

"I hear the voice of long-dead loved ones calling out to leave quickly" is such a bone-chilling line. Love it.

youtube autoplayed this while i was listening to hyperpop. not quite what i expected. fucking love it.

"The eggs will fill your veins / Let me explain / A second's pain gives way to pleasures only dreamed of" has been stuck in my head for 19 days at the time of writing this

I think I'm a new of fan this series. Actually, I'm a whole air conditioner. I've always been borderline obsessed with the concept of parasites taking over the host's mind and/or body. From when she started talking about eggs to where she devolved into trying to presumably spread whatever she has to another host by kissing them (then asked to be killed), I was so freaked out but hooked. I hope there will be more videos (preferably sooner than 3 years later).
