Yes, I know I misspelled "Spotify" in one of the bottom 3rds. Whoops.

[@DemonicLordZeromus]

Did you perhaps mean Spoofy?

[@Insaneian]

@@DemonicLordZeromus probably 😅 (I have used that in a song afterall)

[@5PctJuice]

In my mind this song works on so many levels. All the comedic elements along with the fact that it's just celebrating the excitement of owning your first car no matter how shitty it is. It revels in how ridiculous it is and that makes it great.

[@Insaneian]

1000% absolutely

[@HANSIMUSMAXIMUS]

I sent the song to my girlfriend immediately after hearing it for the first time. She’s a bit “too” happy and proud of her old, kinda shitty, hand me down Citroén C1, and needles to say she felt very called out😂

[@dragonslayer1009]

“The cup holds anything as long as it’s a cup” is one of my favorite lines in that song and idk why

[@cameronjadewallace]

Because most people use the cupholder for coins!!!

[@dragonslayer1009]

@@cameronjadewallace oh duh I forgot about honestly hah

[@dragonslayer1009]

@Vincent_entertanment_cheese thanks

[@nerdgeek8911]

I don’t care if you explain the jokes, your contagious laughter more than makes up for it! Can’t wait to see more videos from you 👍

[@anthrico]

You're one of the only people to react to this song who actually noticed and appreciated the visual gag at "I own a car, woman". My favorite joke of the whole song, and most reactions I've watched don't even blink at that one. Probably overshadowed by the following joke about cupholders. Anyways, SO funny. Another underappreciated one is the frame immediately following "who needs a license when you've got a car, (HEY!)" because it's Danny's face split diagonally, but the diagonal slices don't match up. Very clever and silly, Shoocharu.

[@QuantumWolff]

While "Homophone" is a synonym of "Homonym", "Bass" and "Bass" are technically Homographs!

[@Insaneian]

Ah! Well, I was close at least! Thanks!

[@CarMedicine]

well... excuse my likely pedantry, but rreeaallyy "homophone" is a *hyponym* of "homonym". As in, it's included within and more specific than "homonym", which can mean homophone, homograph or both at the same time!

[@QuantumWolff]

@@CarMedicine Nice, thanks for the insight!

[@gofriskyourself-truepacife6025]

Honestly, there are a number of jokes, references, and terms that I would never have gotten had you not pointed them out. So I'm rather thankful for them. Plus it helps me better appreciate the musicians work.

[@sdsign4229]

I'm fine with people explaining jokes. As someone on the autism spectrum that took a long time before I could understand most jokes, when I heard, "Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process," I understood it by thinking, "Okay, so I just need to kill a ton of jokes to understand comedy. Simple." I have no regrets!

[@DaRip74]

Three petals, it's a manual transmission car.

[@cameronjadewallace]

YUP

[@QuinnF97]

4:32-4:50 This right here perfectly perfectly describes one of the biggest reasons why I cannot listen to any modern music if it doesn't have a comedic slant to it. I'm gonna sound like an Old Man Yelling At Clouds here, but the list of song concepts for most modern pop music is so limited. But with comedy, you can write a song about literally anything, and as long as enough people find it funny, it works Edit: Yes, I'm gonna be that guy. Bass (like the audio function) and Bass (the fish) are heteronyms, not homophones :)

[@Espeonsaves]

Homonyms, not heteronyms. Homo(same) nym(name)

[@lolo_trolo7402]

Oh what a fun shirt you have there! I feel like only smart, confident and sexy people own those, but that might just be a hunch... maybe only people who actually bought tickets to the unplugged show...? I mean, I would have no idea about such a thing AT ALL, but it's still a very neat shirt, maybe the best NSP shirt actually! Maybe... Great video too, I really enjoyed the new song and your reaction are always something to look forward too when smth like this releases. Keep it up! :)

[@KaineNiteStkr]

Saw you had posted a reaction and realized I had missed the release yesterday so quickly watched it then came back here. Love your reactions

[@anxieturt]

I actually found your explaining the joke to be so much funnier. Great video!

[@Insaneian]

Thanks!

[@jennilocke]

Dan is a really great lyricist. Some of his non-comedy stuff, like Starlight Brigade and Magnum Bullets, are basically poetry set to rad music. NSP is hilarious poetry set to super rad music

[@MeghanTheShade]

You just know that when Dan and Brian comission a video from Simon(Shoocharu), youi're in for a good time, and this was no exception.

[@bowiew8254]

I often just wonder how many times he go's to play an older song, while relearning the lyrics if he ever thinks to him self "did I really fucking say that? God this is so stupid but I can't change it now... I actually have to say this with a straight face...."

[@craft_to_death]

I like how you mentioned that it’s always Danny sexbang but i find it really funny that he dies in a few of the songs or he’s in a completely different time period like release the kraken

[@Insaneian]

I mean, he IS a superhero, after all...

[@vincible7023]

Explaining the jokes actually really works for me. I listen to these songs as soon as they're out anyway, before seeking out reactions, and you explaining the jokes brings a sort of shared appreciation that makes me laugh all over again.

[@outsidelookinginprod]

I just want to take a moment to give some credit to NSP's producer, Jim Roach, for the improved sound as well. I know TWRP are the featured band that plays much of the instrumentation, but Jim Roach has been the producer, co-writer on many tracks, and an instrumentalist for NSP since Cool Patrol, which is when they really started to expand their sound into these pastiches that you mentioned. Also, speaking from the future, I've noticed that there is not as much TWRP in the latest album (I base this only on the credits on my the videos, since Galaxy Hamster didn't have any members from TWRP and Dance 'Til You Stop only features Commander Meouch on bass, which was critical for the funky sound) and if you look at the credits for the music videos, you'll see Jim Roach's name on guitar, bass, and even drums, so that's why I wanted to shout him out for his contributions. He is like the third member of NSP at this point, further demonstrated by how their live acoustic album was performed by Danny, Brian and Jim on guitar.

[@jmfindorff]

Nice, I have that same shirt from their online acoustic concert. I also managed to get a signed poster while they were available.

[@FNFortuneAlt]

First! I just wanted to say I love your videos, keep making content!

[@PsychoDiesel48]

4:49 Taco Grande!!! Yes! I freaking love that one

[@FenriRock]

Its just so damn good! Now I'm gonna go blast the HL greatest hits

[@AnimaWild]

People shouldn't be complaining here about you explaining jokes, this is the content that you do and if thats not the type of content they like then i don't know what they are doing herE Sometimes for me it's hard to understand some jokes or references so it's great to have somebody do it! maybe this song makes it pretty obvious but like you said, there are people that need em!

[@poyloos4834]

Well, he absolutely doesn’t or shouldn’t change how he reacts, but people have opinions and expressing them are always valid. No “erm, then don’t watch it” people can like the guy, and are just specifically irked about that one thing. Just sayin

[@cameronjadewallace]

Normally, explaining a joke make it less funny (speaking as a comedian) not with this!

[@tarastargaze3833]

Tay Zonday turns away from the mic to breathe. Ian turns the song off to talk. Cut from the same cloth, those two.

[@Sparkz147]

I am not a frequent viewer of your content (though I do enjoy your reactions) and I don't know if you've done this before/had something on your tongue to get rid of, but at 3:05 you seemingly licked your finger to hit the play button. Felt like the next step to an old Lee Evans joke: "I bought my grandmother a Kindle and she still licks her finger to turn the page". Gave me a good chuckle

[@Insaneian]

Ha, yeah, I had a cat hair suddenly in my mouth and had to get rid of it quickly. Not something I often do (on camera, anyway. There are always cat hairs around, tho).

[@analoren4745]

So this is what you do when you're not tallying Game Grumps Wheel of Fortune videos

[@Insaneian]

Or cataloging the games the Grumps have beaten on the show, yes 😅

[@crowsenpai5625]

10:50 there’s some irony to running over someone dressed as a traffic cone.

[@NWolfsson]

A masterful thing Shoocharu did with the visuals is everything be extremely pop, saturated, colourful (especially Ninja Brian and Danny who go as far as having unnatural skin tones) and smooth, but the car itself is utterly grey and detailed in the grime and scuff marks. It's just too boring and grounded to be altered by Danny's fantasy. Thankfully it's got nothing on his innocence :')

[@melehu8368]

I was okay when listening to this song until "you turkeys" and then I literally cackled. I don't know why that specific line was SO funny to me, but it just really got me.

[@thatluckypanda_]

I keep coming back to this reaction as I’m working on my cover of this song (again). I thought the exact same thing with the Huey Lewis & The News pastiche comment, and it’s giving me some ideas 👀

[@diamondedge83]

6:34 Homophones sound the same but have a different spelling and meaning. Homographs are spelled the same but have a different pronunciation and meaning. Both are types of Homonyms.

[@loffaxio]

Love your reactions Ian! I'd love to see your reaction on "Valhallelujah" and "And Then I Noticed That She Was a Gargoyle" both by Nanowar of Steel "Norwegian Reggaeton" is also a good one :P

[@danieltilson4053]

You mentioning comedy love songs makes me wonder if you reacted to "Wondering tonight" So after I watch this one, I will be checking for that!

[@Insaneian]

I definitely did! There should be an NSP reaction playlist at the end of this video!

[@danieltilson4053]

@@Insaneian I just finished watching it. Loved it.

[@hibaum6555]

Good Show

[@ozharms]

This track is the most Weird Al type song that Ninja Sex Party have ever made!

[@Insaneian]

Agreed!

[@Jacob_Hingst]

You may have seen the anouncement but jazz emu is coming out with a new single in exactly a week. Edit: nevermind it came out earlier than anounced 2 days ago

[@Insaneian]

Yup! And a few others are coming around that time too, gonna have my hands full! Thanks!!

[@dr_kav2k]

"Homophones" is the exact opposite of what you wanted to say - words that are spelled differently, but similarly-sounding (lit. translation from Greek "same sound"). What you wanted is "homographs" - same written down form, different sounds.

[@Insaneian]

Well, I wouldn't say *exact* opposite, since they begin with the same prefix, but sure. 😅 (and a few other folks pointed it out here already)

[@SpiffyStudios]

I am just commenting here because you and I own the same pair of glasses.

[@thespriteofhumanity]

The song also reminds me of the style of Loverboy

[@cragl3yman343]

Homophones have the SAME SOUND but different spellings. The word you're thinking of is a Homonym. Words that are spelled the same but can mean and sound differently.

[@Insaneian]

Yeah I always confuse those 😅 thanks!

[@cragl3yman343]

Always good way to remember. "Phone" you hear sounds from a phone. So it's the same sound.@@Insaneian

[@QuantumWolff]

Hi! Hello, good evening.

[@pikachu15eevee]

I feel like one of the levels of jokes you didn't totally dive into is just how shitty the car is, insofar as... well, you touched on how one expects someone describing a make and model and all the features a car has- but the joke is that Danny is describing the bare minimum, because his car /has/ no exciting features. its a crappy junker entry level vehicle, but he's still so psyched to have it he has to brag about something- so he's bragging about the bare minimum a car should have. That being said, this is my first video of yours I've watched, but i definitely enjoyed it a lot!

[@Dangeresque300]

6:31 I think you mean homoNYMs. HomoPHONES are words that sound the same but may be spelled differently. (I.e. You & Ewe)

[@cameronjadewallace]

E-Y-E? That's ewe

[@riseofevillink]

Hey look, it's that guy!* *:I apologize but I've been meaning to comment this after having heard that song pop up one too many times in my playlist. However, It took a bit to both remember to say it and for it to actually be true.

[@Insaneian]

Ha, nice! A comment that quotes and references a song of mine?! Wow...this just made my night! Thanks!

[@riseofevillink]

@@Insaneian tbh I could have gone on theme and referenced your own NSP Pastiche, but it's much harder to fit that into a general comment with out looking tad bit crazy or insane if you will.

Love NSP. Started listening to them a few years ago. Being an 80s/90s kid it's great to see good music videos like these.
