This is why I love his stuff. A lot of people would just be making fun of the teenage girls themselves rather than the people taking advantage of them.
" the people taking advantage of them" ... their parents. No wait, companies who pay youtuber salaries by buying ad space? Heroic customers who "pay" because THEY actually have to watch the ads? Who are we we blaming today, who's the correct one? Having options? All of capitalism? all of SOCIALISM?
@@sboinkthelegday3892 the capitalistic patriarchy that exploits women's insecurities to sell them products made to fill gaps they created in the first place. Stop acting like it's unclear, it's not OP's fault you're blind
Only bo can go on stage infront of hundreds of people, deepthroat a microphone, say “Satan, you taste so good!” And do the nazi salute and have people laugh maniacally
*We know it's not right, we know it's not funny, but we'll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money* Can we please talk about how fucking genius this is?
3:09 - 3:43 is the most chaotic 34 seconds to ever happen on a comedy stage. at 30, bo is already in the comedy hall of fame and this stuff is his rookie work. crazy
He did tell you he’s selling out in “words words words” video. Now he’s just exposing them while being part of them. Sad honestly. No wonder he was depressed.
Some guy that worked on the production of this said on reddit that his boss was so grossed out about Bo deep-throating the mic that he made them throw the microphone out, lol.
The real genius of this song is that he literally spends major chunks of it repeating the same two words and STILL manages to fit more content and meaning into it than pretty much anything getting released in this genre today. It's almost like he's saying "Watch this, I can spend half the song doing literally nothing and still show you up."
@@fightingmedialounge519 You get the point though. Maybe he should've said "almost anything getting released that's popular", either way you understand.
@@nuculearbazooka Actually he's criticizing people who don't have critical sense to understand how massified and easy to control they become when it comes to idolizing people that don't deserve. He said "repeat stuff" and everyone in the audience repeated it just because they were suppose to, 'cause someone in the spotlight said that they were suppose to.
I believe it's a homage to Bill Hicks's bits about Satan and the entertainment industry! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RLeQ7oxUAKc.html
if a comedian does a nazi salute and imitates satan on stage and the crowd cheers, that means that the comedian has become a massive success. congratulations to the club, Bo. I love all of his work :o
Bo, If I heckle you over and over and over again. Will you deflower me, deflower me, deflower me over and over and over again... Pretty please with pepperoni and mushrooms on top!
@@TheLegend-sq8ex he says that he describes his dreagirl as really vage and need to make every girl think that this song is about her, thus making the stement "i love your hands, cuz your fingerprints are like no other, i like you eyes and there blueish brownish greenish color". most peope have blue, green or brown eyecolor. sorry for bad/ broken english
What I love about this song is that it’s evidence that this kind of stuff works. By the end of the song, everybody knows the chorus and is singing along enthusiastically. Just like actual pop songs.
Harley Fagan every song is “similar” if you boil it down to its basic pop I-V-vi-IV chord progression, that’s not what makes it good though. The chord progression is irrelevant
@@olliedylan1381 I would argue that as being precisely the reason the chords ARE relevant. I mean no disrespect to the lyrics, they're masterful as any of Bo's songs are. That being said, the familiarity of the chords enhances the accessibility of the song. for instance : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oOlDewpCfZQ.html
Harley Fagan I said there was an irony in fans screaming whilst Bo is literally mocking them for said screaming. 99% of pop songs use the I-V-vi-IV progression. It’s so common that you couldn’t say “Ooh this sounds like X or Y” because it literally sounds like *every* pop song. The thing with chord progressions is it doesn’t particularly effect the sound of the piece. It’s the key. Whether you’re writing in modes or minor or major or whatever, that’s the *sound.* sure, cadences do impact the feeling you get from a song but nothing more than “this is a pop song.” Which would use perfect cadence (it’s called something else in the US idk what.) Edit: your link proves my point. They’re all playing in the same *key*. The order of the chords are irrelevant
@@olliedylan1381 I understand what you meant, but I fail to see how that irony is completely irrelevant to the chords that make it so familiar as to make said fans scream because they already know how it's going to sound instrumentally. (holy run-on batman) Interestingly enough there's a really neat article on how repetition (in music specifically) changes our interaction with it from just hearing it to listening WITH it. It's an engagement shift into a participatory experience that only helps the song IMO.
I’ve been trying to watch his older stuff with the context of his anxiety during performances. It definitely makes me respect his ability to push through it for so long
He’s basically saying girls are so desperate, they’ll literally do anything despite the causes and evil, and in his example, it’s blowing Satan. god i love him so mUCH
best part about this song, besides the nazi salute bait, was that apparently Justin Beiber and Selina GOmez went to one of these shows on this tour and got to hear this shit live lmao
Pepe Prez Even TRUER fact: regardless of whether or not Justin Bieber was present, he wouldn't understand what the fuck Bo was talking about in this song, and was probably just tapping his feet to the catchy tune.
The fact that he references T.S. Eliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" as a critique of his own love song is everything that is right with Bo Burnham.
I love your hair I love your name I love the way you say it I love your heart and you're so smart, 'cause you gave away it I love your sis' I love your dad I love your mum But more than all of that I love the fact that you are dumb enough (swag) To not realize everything I've said has been said before In a thousand ways in a thousand songs, some with the same four chords But you'll still love it, let me finger you Oh girl, I hope you don't think that I'm rude When I tell you that I love you boo I also hope that you don't see through This cleverly constructed ruse Designed by a marketing team Cashing in on puberty and low self-esteem And girls' desperate need to feel loved America says we love a But don't get complicated and bore us Though meaning might be missin' We need to know the words after just one listen so Repeat stuff I love my baby and you know I couldn't live without her But now I need to make every girl think this song's about her Just to make sure that they spread it like the plague So I describe my dream girl as really really vague, like "I love your hands 'cause your fingerprints are like no other I love your eyes and their blueish brownish greenish color I love it when you smile, that you smile wide And I love how your torso has an arm on either side." Now, if you're my agent you might be thinking, "Oh no, sound the alarms You're not appealing to little girls who don't have arms." I'm in magazines full of model teens, so far above you So read them and hate yourself, and pay me to tell you I love you And the parents will always come along, because their little girl is in love And how could love be wrong? How could love be wrong? When you Repeat stuff We know it's not right, we know it's not funny But we'll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money But until then, we will repeat stuff
The "Microphone part" was Bo, paying homage to Bill Hicks. One of the greatest comedians of all time. Well, In my opinion "The" greatest of all time. Soooo, yea.. this was pretty much a clip, filled with amazing and awesome. Just gives you more reason to buy his CD, and support him :D
Something I like from a musical perspective is that the verse of the song has a I VI IV V chord progression, which is pretty much the most popular chord progression used in pop music, just to add another layer to this jab at pop music
I love how he has the balls to point out all the problems in the world and drills it into your subconscious brain. It makes you think about the world differently to a degree that's better than any modern day influencers. Bo is amazing
Didn't know there was a line in the sand between the two. For instance, if I tell a joke while pulling an R. Kelly (sans pedo-bear unpleasantness), does that make it a taboo conundrum?
Fun Fact: Justin Bieber was in the audience at one of Bo's shows (bitches and shows, Bo's shows) where he performed this song. Bieber was with Selena Gomez and they snuck their way in, so it was a big old coincidence that Bo performed this song at a show Bieber attended. I love it when crap just lines up like that.
Vinayak Kumar Theres different interpretions of the joke like Chloe's one being that he was comparing the music industry to hitler's ideals. For me, I saw it in the fact that it was so sudden, after he so innocently told the crowd to sing along then doing the nazi salute.
***** If you watch some of Bo's other stuff, he does a bit where he gets the audience to shout back to him "I say hey, you so ho: Hey!" A:"Ho!" B:"Hey!" A:"Ho!" He then cuts it short by stopping and saying "And that's basically how Hitler rose to power." So I see it as a nod to some of his other performances, noting that people can be easily persuaded by repetitive slogans and cultural popularity.
The audience laughed at the end of the ts Elliot quote thinking it was an embellishment but that’s actually the correct line, it’s a play on ether as in the part of the sky as the word was commonly used back then and the anesthetic of the same name
This song intrigued me because it strikes me how smart Bo Burnham is about this system we live, and how easily he could be one of these pop stars he's singing about and make millions, but doesn't. Thanks Bo, if you're reading this
I was using "Millions" as an expression. I know Bo Burnham has made a lot of money, but my point was that he probably could have made much more making more formulaic pop music.
blownspeakersss Ok, I must say that i'm actually surprised buy those numbers. Anyways, he isn't as big of an asshole about money as most Americans are, as he actually put his full show online for free.
