the less i know the better but michael it's your birthday today - Original Full Version 

THEY DID IT FOR 3 PENNIES AND AN EMPTY COOKIE BOX GIVE EM THEIR WINNINGS

*Sheds single tear for that guy who asked how much for a full version*

The almost-urgent tone of "Michael." will never fail to make me smile.

The contrast of the emotional song vs. the rats is fucking perfect

Who would win: King Kong. 🚫 Godzilla. 🚫 The Big Rat. ✔

My dad is called Michael. I will play this for his birthday.

I've never heard the original song before. So I will believe this one is canon

this came on thru one of youtubes autogenerated mixes and i thought it was the original song until the very moment the first verse hit. i was getting ready to resonate with the central theme of lovesickness so well conveyed through an incredible number of artistic choices before i realized i was listening to a jerma mashup. my brain got dropkicked for a second but i admit that it enhanced the comedy significantly. bravo

couldn't wait for michael's birthday, this had to drop TODAY

Thank god I can die in peace

I die and (somehow) end up in heaven I find the archangel Michael I learn his birthday I play this for him on his birthday I am instantly sent to hell

I can’t believe Tame Impala had to resort to selling birthday DVDs at a mall kiosk.

The way he says Michael makes me feel like I'm in a coma and my doctor is trying to wake me up

Things I learned thanks to this video: -they're the rats -they're celebrating yet another birthday bash -it's michael's birthday today -cake and ice cream is on it's way -michael has been such a good boy this year -he should open up his presents while we all cheer

Now that Jerma is retired, this weird meme mashup actually makes me feel melancholic. That just shows how good the original tame impala song is.

I was stuck lying on the floor in pure exhausted depression when I put this on and the very millisecond the rats kicked in I sprung to my feet effortlessly. This is it im cured

hell yeah

I literally got recommended the short version just now. I can not believe how lucky I am that this got released 4 hours ago. A truly historic moment in my life

For gods sake someone please send this to Jerma during a stream

This is how an acid trip feels like in music form.

Am I Michael? No Is it my birthday today? Not at all Do I feel like both of those things are true when I listen to this? Yes. Yes I do

the way they say "you've been such a good bOY this year" brings me life

the lack of people who know this is jerma related makes me feel like I’m in an exclusive little club

Certified hood classic. Can't wait for this to surprise future people when it suddenly got recommended to them.

This is the dusty, rat-infested corner of RU-vid, isnt it?

Lyrics: Rats, rats, we are the rats Celebrating yet another birthday bash *Michael*, it's your birthday today Cake and ice cream is on its way And *Michael* been such a good boy this year Open up your gifts while we all cheer

Dude... my wife hates that I play this everyday. You’ve done an amazing thing. Thank you.

literally first chorus.... "Is... is that.... Jerma?" Jerma audio clips cant fit literally whatever you need.

Please rise for the national anthem

What sick monster wants to listen to this without the patented signature trademark "micheal" in it

Ok I just wanted to let you know that this has unironically been my favorite workout song for the past 5+ months.. I literally put it on loop and listen to it around 5 times every time and it puts me in the best mood and energizes me. I'm not even ashamed to admit this it's actually so good. Thank you

I am now going to name my first son Michael and play this for his birthday every year!

My name is Michael and it is my birthday today. I've had this on loop for about an hour and it makes me happy :)

This is unironically a jam and I can't stop listening to it.

Jerma is a musical genius

60 million years of evolution and we have finally reached our peak

I GOT REC’D PART ONE LITERALLY SECONDS AGO Just read that comment saying how much for a full version. Then i just by chance looked in the description???? Now I’m here, and my life is complete

And when the algorithm recommended him the most... _He returned._

I love how an automated voice just says "Micheal"

Holy shoot I'm going to fart

I legit got recommended the part time one a second ago bruh

This is much cleaner than the first version, you even fixed the issues in the first version that appeared at around 0:34, GREAT JOB

I'm *really* high rn and nearly had a stroke when I realized this *wasn't* the regular song 😭 Jerma is a sickness that keeps spreading.

Lets be honest with ourselves, we all wanted this

when the world needed them the most... they returned

rats, rats, we are the rats celebrating yet another birthday bash *"Michael"* it's your birthday today cake and ice-cream is on its way and *"Michael"* you been such a good boy this year open up your gifts while we all cheer

This is a work of art, I hope jerma himself listens to it

got recommended the original just in time for the greatest art piece of this generation.

As a Tame Impala fan, this made me shed 100 tears. Thank you for this masterpiece 😿🙏💖

This is a monument in humanity’s cultural progression.

The cats been real quiet since this dropped

YES! MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! You have done something that I will forever remember.

I'm glad I went out my way to find this song again, an *absolute* Banger

My name is Michael. My birthday is December 21st. I’m going to pretend today is the solstice. It’s the shortest day of the year, but with such a banger, we’ll drag it out long into the night

michael

Oh wait! I came as soon as I saw. I literally got recommended the shorter video a second ago

My name is Michael, and it is indeed my birthday today!

I actually played this on my birthday and I continue to post it every year when my birthday comes around

what is this. How did this get recommended. A genuine nice bop tho

Happy birthday Michael

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE THING EVER

I never asked for rät, I never wanted rät, but I still got rät. And I couldn't be happier

This used to be my Discords favorite song, was an incredible 6 years of my life. Now no one talks to each other because of some stupid drama. Listening to this song transports me back to the good times.

I have a friend and his name is Michael, his birthday is today. Showtime.

Me: sad at 2 am RU-vid recommended: I’m bouts end this mans whole sad

This goes out to all the michaels. Happy Birthday, hope its a good one.

when spotify lol

Tame Impala and Jerma, two of the best things on the planet.

i feel truly blessed to be able to experience the psychedelic basslines of tame impala and the absurdist humor of jerma985 at the same time

the song coming in 2 beats later than usual always gets me

Time for crab

Everywhere i go, Jerma is there

Man, once in a while it feels great to be a Michael.

I am a Michael whose birthday is today and who also loves currents. Thank you for this gift!

What the fuck i just 2mins ago heard the original cut and this gets uploaded the minute i think huh that pretty cool

happy birthday, micheal enjoy your birthday rats

I played this for my childhood friend for years and this last year he blocked me when I continued tradition. Worth it.

I am convinced that this is the greatest video on RU-vid.

The last interaction I had with my girlfriend after the break up was her sending me this video on my birthday (I'm Michael). Thanks Anna?

Undeniable hip grooving, spine trembling fire

I'm sending to this to my friend whose nickname is Michael when their birthday rolls around.

this song is beautiful

holy shit I got recommended the first one today and was wondering where was the full version Honored to behold such a masterpiece

i like how the replay meter thing gets higher the further the video goes

the one good thing about being named michael: having your friends link you and sing this video

WHY DOES THIS SONG MAKE ME SO HAPPY WTH

I didn’t expect you to finish & release the full version so quickly. Thank you!

You did it, people requested this over a year ago and you really did it. What a treat.

I CAN'T BELIEVE JERMA DID THIS TO HUMANITY

I am sure i'm not the only one but this song brings a tear to my eyes.

I like what you did with the album cover lol

Guys I think it might be Michael's birthday today

Most people are excited for sonic 2 i was excited for the full version of this song.

I un-ironically listen to this now, thank you for this absolute masterpiece 🙏

𝙍 𝘼 𝙏

I listen to this EVERY DAY.

Why does this actually go well together

I wouldnt want to return to monke if it meant missing out on this gem

This is actually really chill. I love listening to this when I'm just chilling alone.
