The Cog is Dead - BAD GUY (Billie Eilish steampunk parody) 

Professional shitposting We are number one but it's steampunk when, btw

iam starting to think this is sung by a bad guy

Billie Eilish: This town isn't big enough for two bad guys! The cog is dead: Oh, you're a bad guy, alright, just not a SUPER one! Billie Eilish: Oh yeah? What's the diffrence? The cog is dead: Presentation!

This song makes me imagine a steampunk megamind and it's great, this is the best version of this for sure.

Billie Eilish version: could shank you and you'd thank her. Cog is Dead version: menacing and enthralling, you want to watch the show unfold...but at a safe distance.

Business card: ~The Cog Is Dead~ Professional: -Villian -Shitposter -Dapper gentleman -Mustache wearer

Me: RU-vid Algorithm: You there! You look like the kind of guy that would be interested in a steampunk themed parody of Billie Eilish! Me: I listened to her once because I had never heard of her yet she seemed to be everywhere and I have literally never shown any particular interest in steampunk. However, I will concede to click out of curiosity. Minutes later. RU-vid Algorithm: Well? Me: * cackles, twirls moustache, adjusts flight goggles and takes off into the night in a pedal-powered gyrocopter *

I'm just here listening to this and I see a whole animated music video for this in my head. I absolutely love the vibe of this cover

me: what does "get your green" mean?? is that an old timey idiom! what does it m-- me: me: it's money. green is money.

My god he transformed Billie Eilish's song into a Disney villain song number!!! Like I legit want this in a Disney renaissance style film, great job!

This is both hilarious and awesome ! You really nailed the adaptation of the instrumental and the lyrics ! Keep on going folks, I'll never grow bored of your songs !

*Steam Powered Giraffe wants to know your location*

This and We Are Number One are pretty much my theme songs by now. I love this cover dudes, keep up the (bad) work.

the new perfect disney villian for a disney steampunk movie. its perfect!

I did not know I needed this. Thank you

This reminds me of the Bad Guy song from Wander Over Yander or We Are Number One

Way better than the original. This sounds like a really cool, fun, Disney villain song.

This is the type of thing that I didn't know I needed until I have it.

The villain of this story: A genius engineer turned monopoly holding steam tycoon. He could have anything he ever wanted, except the love of his life. As a result, he does whatever he can to get a hold of her. He commits a whole array of dastardly schemes but he gets away with it because he controls much of the city and it’s political systems.

I said two days ago that if "bad guy" had a different singer and different lyrics I'd love it. Bless you all. Bless you. I laud your praises.

This sounds like something from a kids movie that I would watch for sure.

Is it just me who wants the cog is dead to do a we are number rone parody? Just me? Okay

Whenever a villain says "Foiled again!" I like to imagine somebody throwing a sheet of aluminium foil over their heads-- and just stay in that position with their fist shaking in the air. Honestly, I think this song is catchier than a spider's web spun around a little pile of live flies. I flipping love it! Whenever I listen to music, I have this tendency to imagine one or more of my characters singing/making the music of this song, and there's one character who I think would fit this song perfectly. She's a kind of punky jester who is, as she puts it, a Pretentious Delinquent. She likes to give off the vibe that she's a mean criminal and you shouldn't be around her, but she's actually a chill and nice person. And with a delightfully villainous and thus fitting song like this, i'm having the biggest grin imagining her singing it-- albeit with a few alterations befitting of her jester theme. I don't remember when I discovered you guys, but i've never regretted it-- or gretted in general, for that matter. I regularly listen to your songs from time to time, from the lovely optimistic Michael Byrd the Flying Man to the absurd and comical Walking Taco (where I like to imagine a number of my monstrous/big and scary/strong and imposing characters running away from a taco with chicken legs running after them) and others like Burn it Down and the one of which the general theme still kind of makes me a bit nervous, Time Waits for No One, and every time I listen to one of your bits of music it's a pleasure to listen to, to put it simply. I don't really know how to put it any other way, to be honest. I wish you a lot of fun and the best of luck with your future projects, as well as your own personal lives. Take care, and have a good one :)

Hands down the best Bad Guy cover ever imagined. You've completely changed the tone of the song. Incredible lyrics, even more incredible delivery. Kudos all around

This the only version of this song I’ve listened to. And although you knocked out of the park, I intend to keep it that way.

*Stylish classic villainy with a banger parody is recommended to me* Me: Wait a minute...who ARE you?

Me: watches multiple CCCP videos and Slav youtubers RU-vid: recommends me this video Me: this is wunderbar

This sounds like a villain in an old cartoon that's self aware of the fact he's only a bad guy

This exudes silly villain with tragic backstory energy

I just found out about your music when “The Death Of The Cog” appeared in one of my Spotify radios a couple of weeks ago, and I was hooked Then this showed up in my recommended feed and I’m one hundred percent living for this

This along with the chalkeaters "It Just Works" are honestly amazing villainy tunes

I already though that Bad Guy sounded like We Are Number One but this cover only reinforces that belief.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T THE ORIGINAL?!

When I first heard the song bad guy I felt it didn’t fit it’s normal style of music but now that I see this I know how it should sound ,thank you

I'll be honest, it was by pure chance that I found this channel. But when I discovered this video today, it was like experiencing steampunk all over again. I was hit with a massive wave of inspiration for the Mutants and Masterminds campaign I have been working on. Let's just say the party gets a Disney theme song when they play it. Watch out folks, for The Conductor!

Original Bad Guy: ‘sweet but psycho’ gross kinda ableist, says they’ll cut you but cries when ordering their own happy meal This Bad Guy: Old Disney, beautiful, cleared my skin, assassinated me and tore down my charity house to place a mansion

Кавер на Billie Eilish. Вот этого я точно не ожидал :D. Ребята вы лучшие!

Still like it more than the original

I'm just getting in to steampunk, as I approach the age of 50 and you have inspired the first look I want to go for, The Bad Guy.

Thank you RU-vid Recommendations *FOR FINALLY GIVING ME SOMETHING GOOD* !

I watched ONE bad guy meme and look what RU-vid has brought me

I kind of miss the simple stories where the good guys are simply good and bad guys are literally just evil. Nobody tries to subvert you expectations, make you uncomfortable, just a nice simple fairy tale to relax from the modern news.

that little squeak around the beginning was adorable lmao

This is what this should have been all along

This is brilliant. It feels more natural than the other, but I do appreciate what both bring to the table.

OMG IS THAT DOCTOR STRANGE-GLOVE I HEAR??? OR CAPTAIN HOOK OR SOMETHING??? THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!!

What next, a steampunk cover of an original Weird Al song? Actually... That could be interesting. Like not a cover or parody of one of his parody's but, of his original songs. He has quite a few to choose from, like "This is the Life" for example is an original.

When the cover is better than the original~

This was really fun to listen to! Really well done.

This would legit make a great movie villan song.

Perfect, man^3^ We want "We are number one, but it is steampunk"!!!

I love this! So good. I do get a Plankton (SpongeBob) vibe on some of the vocals :) it is fabulous as are all your songs. Great job!!

as an obsessive Hat in Time fan, I would love to see the mafia singing this

Not only is the music great, but I LOVE the parody lyrics, this is so well done!! just discovered this band today, this is my favorite so far 🖤

I heard 'ride in on a horse guy' and immediately wanted this in the same universe as the Iron Horseman.Maybe with Darla Dawn as the damsel and Annie as the plucky kid sidekick?

this is peak d&d villain

Randomly was randomly recommended this by RU-vid at midnight... And I love it!!

I listen to this while I tie a damsel in distress on some train tracks

I don't know why but this makes me incredibly happy and giggly

This made my day entirely! :D Thank you!

I discovered you 2 seconds ago and I already love you

That final “I’m the bad guy” tho

Can we all agree that this is better than the original. 100 times.

Oh. my. The Cog, I'm surprised and impressed. It sounds amazing. Better than original. So happy about some new stuff from you

Good content boys, good content The song everyone wanted but was too shy to ask for

Not going to lie... I enjoy this song too much. Played it countless times.

An AU where Brightburn takes place in the steampunk era and grows up to become homelander but still keeps the mask. Also you just got yourself a new subscriber!

I wish there was a music video to this one. Imagine all the clichéd bad guy things you could stick in there!

And meanwhile in villain heaven, Robbie Rotten, Snidely Whiplash, Dick Dastardly, and Dan Backslide weep tears of joy.

The only "bad" thing about this song is that it ends. Fantastic job!

Time to pull out my DM notes. I am inspired to create an actual Steampunk mustache twirling Saturday morning cartoon villain.

So, this always made me think of the mafia boss from a hat in time. I actually find this pretty funny in retrospect, because at the time, I had no clue that John is actually the person who provided his voice.

Never heard Billie Eilish, but I like this. Typical for me. I still wonder why Rihanna is covering Steam Powered Giraffe..

These cover versions are literally better than the actual song

And thanks again to the weekly spotify playlist... And damn you!! for producing these earworms!! You are not a dayfly! The Cog will never die!

Literally imagining a mustached baddy in a pedal powered blimp. This would be on Dr. Eggman's walkman for sure.

This give me images of Snidley Whiplash and Dudley Do-Right. 😆 It's wonderful! ❤️❤️❤️

I feel like it's a better song if you imagine it being sang by Waluigi

I think that a lot of people would JUMP at the idea of a Music video version of this.

Fun fact the original trope of the evil villain tying the damsel to the train. Was actually a role reversal parody of a earlier 1867 Victorian stage melodrama called Under The Gaslight. Were the hero was tie to the railroad tracks and the danzel saves the hero.

Robbie: so you're a bad guy? Billie Eilish: duh Robbie: have you ever defeated a good guy? Like a real superhero? Billie Eilish: well-... no Robbie: ever tried a disguise? Billie Eilish: Nah, nah... Robbie: alright, well, it seems I have you teach you how to be a villain.

i heard this song before the original, and when eilish's version came on the radio today... let me just say that whiplash was sufficient absolutely fantastic song. makes me want to grow a mustache just so i can twiddle it

This combines so many bad guy Clichés into one song

The squeak at 0:28 killed me! XD

This song really fits Black Hat from the show "Villainous" 😁

I never clicked so fast!!!!! This is wonderful! Keep it up!!!

Completely picture "Bowler Hat Guy" from Meet the Robinsons! 🤣🖤 BEST VERSION EVER!!! 🖤🖤🖤

The screaming girl part always get me. xDD I discovered you guys thanks to this song. It's so good, after all these years. Keep going making wonderful stuff !

This needs a video so badly XD

I love all of your work and this is one of the best

This song makes me think Dr. Eggman in so many ways. And some how this song basically describes Eggman perfectly.

This is not only whole leagues beyond the original, but it deserves at least a video clip.

This is by far the best thing I've ever heard

01:00 Insert the: *WE ARE NUMBER ONE*

Gotta love moustache twirling villainy. It’s always so theatrically entertaining.

This somehow gives me chaotic mr. Hyde vibes and I love it

Much-much-much better than "original".. which actually wasn't so good or so original because there was "I'm a bad guy" from Wander Over Yonder

Billie Eilish: I'm the bad guy. The C.O.G. Is Dead: Hold my Steampunk!

This is the kind of eccentric "villain" I aspire to be in life.

Im so happy to see you guys still producing the best music! I miss seeing you guys live tho!
