Mount St. Helens is about to Blow Up 

"Everything is green and gold, so I'm not in hell yet." *Y E T?*

"I'm riding a pony into the sunset. Everything is green and gold so I'm not in hell yet." 👌

"I'm riding a pony into the sunset. Everything's green and gold so I'm not in hell yet" Is such a raw line for a happy tune, it's crazy how it still fits so well. I'm in awe.

dont you just hate it when your fish run away

“The dow jones just fell down to zero” *laughts nervously *

If they don't play this on loop in the Mt St Helens Gift Shop I'm going to be very disappointed

Three years later and I'm still haunted by the fact that "Oh, it's a Very Strong blimp" is in quotations. What the hell is it supposed to mean?

"Slip into something more reasonable" *A suit with ducks on it* Very reasonable

I feel like this man is secretly a time traveler who tells us the future through extremely vague songs because if he says it any other way then the entire world would end

Mount Saint Helens: *Pros* - Feeling crazy and adventurous - Special - Gives no excuses - Seems eccentric - Dreams of puppies - Filled with music - wear sunglasses @ PigionDaCool - has a pretty cool gift shop @Jake Patterson - speaks wingding - can play the licc @*Anna Banana* - rides a pony @Noob *Cons* - Takes no answers - Really doesn’t listen - Gives no questions - Looks so active - Is bout to blow up - can play the trombone @Justin Sustin - has to throw away all the business suits @ Bonnyismydoggy

I relistened the song after a while and it suddenly clicked with me - in all its horribly depressing glory. The businessman whose business has been ruined by a natural catastrophe, basically deciding to throw himself into death (Staying by Mt.Helen as it erupts as everyone tries to escape). Says how he's not in hell **YET**, riding into the sunset, etc. You would think that it's about a random natural catastrophe, but later verses show that it's a metaphor for humanity-driven catastrophes. All the climate change rigamarole ruining lives in grander scales. How the rich are going to hide away in the blimp of modern amenities and distractions, how it's NEVER going down even if the world burns down around it. But, it being a blimp, thus notoriously easy to take down, it's a grim catastrophe waiting to happen too. And the final things about how Mt.Helen (Likely a representation of the unfeeling, unreasonable catastrophes) won't listen and won't reason when it decides to erupt. A song about the helplessness one feels when confronted with existential dread of humanity bringing about its own undoing.

This just made my 9 yr old cry with laughter “and that doesn’t happen unless things are REALLY GOOD” he says. “I need a break, because my eyeballs can’t take it!” Thanks Bill for being REALLY GOOD

Imagine how philosophy teachers are going to explain this 500 years from now

Climate Change Court: I sentence you to 10 years of ice age

My Dad was camping under Mt Saint Helens the night it erupted, and woke up to the ceiling of his tent right in front of his face sagging with ash. He and his friends canoe had filled up with so much ash that it sunk, and in the surrounding area cars were so crusted with ash that they flat out wouldn't work to the point where people would just burn their cars. After coming back to this song with that story in mind, all I can think about is people riding away from the erupted St Helens on ponies cuz they can't use their cars anymore.

I adore how Bill’s lyrics and animations are so often so nonsensical, yet make complete sense.

"I'm riding a pony, into the sunset." Me : aww that's wholesome. "Everything's green and gold, so I'm not in hell yet..." Me : *_hol up_*

Mount St. Helens is actually a lovely volcano and we all should support her when she's feeling crazy and adventurous

*Imagine if this was the only evidence of human existence in millions of years*

“Everything’s green and gold, so I’m not in hell yet” Don’t worry Bill, you’re not going to hell.

“ The Dow Jones just fell down by zero” man be predicting the future here

Bill Wurtz is the Bob Ross of sound.

This from someone who lived in Washington state not too long ago and has been to Mt.St. Helens, I can confirm the gift shop is still there

I have a theory. I think the song is being sung by and optimist who is slowly realizing that the world is ending, since he stopped saying its gonna be a fine swell day at the gift shop part. I think that the blimp part is them being in a state of denial that they'll die at the end of the world here. And I think that at the end of the song where mount st. Helens starts singing is him dying in the end of the world, because there's no trace of him when it starts singing and it slowly gets static all over the screen, showing the camera is dying out. Thank you for listening to my rant about something that probably didn't have a deeper meaning.

Mount St. Helens is about to blow up then act like they don’t know no body

Volcanic nuclear winter has never sounded so c a t c h y

My interpretation when the song first came out: lol what a quirky little story about a business man who stiffs his employees so he can fly away to live his dreams! The mountain is a metaphor! My interpretation in 2022: lol What a quirky little song about a wealthy CEO capitalist who abused his employees and caused the world to implode due to big business carbon emissions but he doesn’t care bc he can afford to build a blimp and fly away from the carnage

I genuinely gasped on the word “vacation” during the “people who work in my office went on vacation” line. I will never get over that change. Ever. HOW did he think of that

i feel like he knows something that we don’t...

This feels less like a song and more like some cryptic prophecy of things to come.

This makes me feel an emotion that shouldn’t exist

3:01 transforms into epic mountain man to normal mountain man

This is the only person I would feel comfortable with using comic sans

People in comments: *discussing how he predicted the future* Bill talking about his song: lol idk it sounded kinda nice

Today, May 18 1980, Mount St. Helens actually did blow up.

I think the meaning of this song is pretending everything is okay and replacing the negative feelings with saying that "It's gonna be a fine swell day" even if things are obviously awful 0:00 - 0:24 is about looking on the bright side of stuff and trying to learn more as a coping mechanism even of the obvious dangers. 0:25 - 0:37 symbolize wondering if things are going to change for the better or the worst.

I'M RIDDING A PONY, INTO THE SUNSET. EVERYTHING IS GREEN AND GOLD SO I'M NOT IN HELL YET.

is no one going to talk about the transition from “dance the night away” to “I’m riding a pony”?Man can literally sing about anything and it’ll sound amazing

Has anyone realized just how complicated of a song this is and how excellent of a recording this is?

“I’m riding a pony into the sunset” I didn’t know it’s possible but I appreciate Bill even more now

Everyone talking about how he predicted the future but no one gonna mention how he spelled out the sound a trombone makes

“And everything’s green & gold, so that means I’m not in hell yet.” Wow, ok, idk why but that hits _hard_

I know BIll Wurtz doesn't give a crap about his song meanings but I like to think it's about a guy who is trying to still be happy even though his life is falling apart.

Very impressed the layer in the chords by themselves are on a completely different level. Highly recommend

Bills songs are so cryptic that he doesn't even know what the lyrics mean.

cant wait for when 100 years from now highschoolers are gonna need to find the meaning of these videos

I come back to this song like every 5 months and it never EVER gets old

"Everything's green and gold so I'm not in hell yet" such a powerful lyric

I swear this guy actually must live in the fourth dimension or something.

"So, what kind of music do you listen to?" "It's... complicated..."

everybody gangsta till mount saint helens starts talking in wingdings

For me it's not the lyrics or the editing it's the chords he uses, key changes etc, he's an amazing musician.

I lived in castle rock (right by Mt. St. Helen) and can confirm the gift shop is still there. Its legit to, not some lame gift shop.

what the hell did I just watch this is so oddly specific, I'm concerned Bill may be a prophet and is trying to warn us of impending doom but can't because the only form of communication he has is through videos that seem like acid trips edit: came back to this and two people replied about me not having watched a Bill Wurtz video before.

the melody following “and when the sun goes down, and the sky burns out” is amazing

My mom's town was covered in ash from the 1980 eruption and she said that the mount st helens was in fact wearing sunglasses and singing

“The dow Jones just dropped to zero” Bill can see the future

The further we proceed into 2020 the more this feels like a prophecy.

My favorite thing about bill wurtz is that his music's main parts are quieter than your average song so the instrumental can be heard more, because there is a lot of work put into those instrumentals and it's great

All of his videos feel like a dream where everything makes sense in the moment but when you wake up it’s just chaos

Everyone: "Damn 2020 is terrible let's hope May isn't as bad." RU-vid Recommended' "MoUnT St. HeLeNs Is AbOUt tO bLoW uP"

Top ten warnings that the world ignored

Bill just has this totally unique, nonsensical yet oddly familiar and wholesome feel to his music. It's like a dog who doesn't know why everyone is smiling and laughing but gets excited and happy nonetheless.

1:34 , Bill Wurtz, you have an epic blimp. I shall go onto it.

MY BOY BILL WURTZ MADE IT TO GENIUS Edit: Holy shit thanks for all the likes ❤️

"I'm not in hell *yet* "

Had to revisit this now that Mt. St. Helens is active again...

ngl, I looked up the date mt st helens blew up just to make sure he didn't predict it

"the dow jones just fell down to zero and it's gonna be a fine swell day" *man that line aged beautifully*

Anything: **exists** Bill Wurtz Fans: 𝙬𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨

mount st. helens be spittin straight facts at the end there tho

this guy has an angelic singing voice and chooses to make memes with it. respect

I can confirm mt. St. Helens gift shop is still pretty cool

I live near Mt. St. Helens... Am I being warned of something?

Bloody hell, I completely forgot about the mountain solo. Got me so off guard I'm crying 🤣

I think the song is about a businessperson who hasn't been paying his employees a good wage and went home to think if the world would be a better place with anarchy. The businessperson then proceeded to fall asleep in their chair to dream about hopefully running away from it all (on a pony) and/or flying away on a powerful blimp. Afterward, they wake up and describe how the world economy(Mount St. Helens) is falling into itself, and the climate of there planet is changing. In the end, they think now that it would probably be more fun to enjoy themselves in watching it fall.

i love how positive the songs are now

I'm more and more certain Bill Wurtz just uses RU-vid as a dream diary...

I was just vibing to this until 1:24 and now I'm just worried. Amazing song!

Dow Jones hitting 0 would be a fine day, I would laugh hysterically at big number being small number.

“Everything’s green and gold so I’m not in hell” *YET*

I can confirm that the Mt St Helens giftshop is still there. I live in Washington near Mt St. Helen's

I don't know what I just watched but I'm convinced this is what it's like to be high.

Listen to this every year on May 18th

The prophet has spoken. We must prepare.

🎵 everything's green gold so I'm not in hell yet 🎵

i remember i started singing this song on call once and one of my friends who's like a massive history buff just said "wait what seriously" lmao

Things I hate: 1: lists 2: When people use emojis 🤬😡 3: When people mispel things D) inconsistency D) inconsistency 5: Repeats 6:when people have a gacha character as their pfp 7: When the comment has nothing to do with the video 8: When people edit their comments 9: irony 10: adding stupid points 12: Forgetting things 13: ending on uneven numbers 11: adding what you forgot at the end of your comment.

I’m not in hell Yet

when Mount St. Helens was like “flgeuhrbhuaifahraug” I felt that

Can confirm, mt. St. Helens still has a gift shop

as someone who lived near Mt. St. Helens for most of my life this is exactly how it went down

“so i’m not in hell yet” lol

There are a few ways to explain this: 1) this was written in a cold sweat at 3 am 2) this was made by continually tapping one of the predictive text buttons 3) it's a cryptic prophecy that has a deep psychological meaning. Edit: or 4) drugs but yknow gotta keep it kid friendly

Mount saint helens is my favorite mountain. This just makes it so much better.

that was incomprehensible, thank you

Bill Wurtz make the most depressing things happy. The *eCoNoMy* is gonna *collapseeee* (snare)

"I'm riding a pony into the sunset." "Don't do that." "Why?" *"T H E S U N I S A D E A D L Y L A S E R~"*

but why is the bit w the mountain singing just so genuinely enjoyable

1:41 The movie on the blimp is Bill's earlier vid called "A play featuring a power block and a mechanical pencil"
