A Perfectly Normal Drum Cover Of Somebody Told Me -- The8BitDrummer

[@person8865]

shoutout to swagmuffin136, who states "That song title is eerily close to Smash Mouth" approximately 3 seconds before the smash mouth starts

[@MercuryCat]

1:02, for anyone interested in finding the moment

[@Graceclaw]

I assume the person knew this video and was "calling" it lol

[@turtlelizard1531]

Yea, also some guy predicted it earlier by singing smash mouth.

[@phantom_anime]

Someone also commented the first of the Smash Mouth song too at 0:35

Never has anybody been that frightened of being told something

[@scottypittman1]

Anytime it’s “Perfectly Normal” it’s never normal. And I’m glad it’s happened to my guy here, everyone suffers hahaha!!

[@RynEatsBabies]

There’s nothing normal in a vid that says perfectly normal

[@koneeche]

It's like he went through the five stages of grief within seconds, starting at 1:06

[@silverdededestruction2197]

that was all five stages within milliseconds.

[@jlhitz35]

So I was going to check the comments to see why no one had commented on how great his vocals at 0:53 are but right as I did, IT happened and I felt like I got gut punched

[@recordcollector1972]

Thank you 8bit Drummer, very cool!

[@margaretappleton3437]

Ayyy you're here. congrats on getting your mashup covered!

[@Patronjude]

You're an evil man! Ten thumbs up!

[@jaxoncarter2electricboogal921]

Oh

[@SparkleChord]

You promised this would be normal... But I'm glad you lied. This is legitimately the best thing ever. The memes start comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin' and they don't stop comin'

[@XarathDominion]

jerod lived through the five stages of "discovering that something is not normal" in exactly 5 seconds. props to him! 1. Realizaton 2. Doubt 3. unseriousness (it's midnight and i don't want to open a THESAURUS rn and i can't think forvthe life of me what to call it) 4. Doubt 2 - Electric Boogaloo, but now with existentialism 5. ANGERYNESS/ACCEPTANCE/ASCENDANCE

[@fiend-off-the-grid]

@@XarathDominion levity would be a good replacement for 'unseriousness'

[@Cool-Vest]

I could probably edit that scream at 50% speed into any action movie and no one would be able to tell the difference.

[@Asakedia]

Your reaction was so cute and pure of life omg xD

[@theermac6024]

The internet has taught me to read this phrase as Smash Mouth, so I kind of expected the joke.

As soon as I saw (HQ Audio) I knew you were gonna be bamboozled. The uploader is recordcollector1972 btw. A SiIva-esque channel but with real music.

Everybody is talking about swagmuffin136, but has nobody noticed that at 0:35 huhhmann said "Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me?

Im having an existential crisis, how is this already half a decade ago

*When the drummer is late to a simpleflips meme*

[@VasiliKolovsky]

Hey! I requested this! I'm so glad I go to bamboozled you :D

[@LilChuunosuke]

I just need to know if the person that requested it realized that they chose a meme song! Because at a glance it looks perfectly fine

[@TheQuark6789]

Based on the chat, I think it was huhhmann, and if so they definitely knew.

[@georgescdoodle]

The preface in the title was absolutely necessary.

[@Just-Plain-Potential]

I think Jerod fell for the title because, like me, we come from the same era of internet, where HQ Audio meant just that, not a troll vid...and that's why it's perfect to catch those of us who were there in those older days (2010-2014 or so) of YT out.
