Bo Burnham - Hell of a Ride Reaction

[@alankingsley2916]

I love Hell of a Ride because it’s just Bo cutting loose and reminding everyone that he is really, really good at this. I’ve read elsewhere that the fandom believed for a while that this was his “retirement” song - thankfully not the case!

[@nullakjg767]

Its weird how serious and good he was at rap, only to then decide it was morally wrong.

[@Itsant33]

Mostly felt like he can play the game exactly the way he want and be as successful as he wants but also that even if he puts out a message that's genuine it would be lost since no one genuinely cares about artists

Solarplexus is the center of your stomach made of nerves near diaphragm that stimulates all your organs. When you get fluttering in your stomach thats your solarplexus reacting to stress. Center system of your body. Which is the pun of fuck the system.

[@MontgomeryWenis]

It's also a pressure point. The lightest touch to it can knock the wind outta you.

[@MrSmexy702]

@@MontgomeryWenis a complex of ganglia and radiating nerves of the sympathetic system at the pit of the stomach. Is its literal definition. But yes a punch to the gut sends a shock to the nerves over stimulating them to overload and have to calm down to allow their stimulation to fade and regain control.

IMO, the song itself is an embodiment of its title. It brings in the organ and gospel choir, so you think you're "riding to heaven", but then the verse kicks in and he takes you through this rollercoaster ride of these lyrics and delivery. Bo tends to subvert expectations in his songs.

[@codasinger5298]

Honestly one of my favorites by him

Fuckin awesome song and reaction. You’re right, Bo’s composition abilities should be admired. Jumping in and out of all the genres he does takes serious talent and a deep understanding of music theory. Can’t wait for more! Cheers

[@christophersimmons1850]

"It's the type of stuff you hear in, like, a Disney track"--you effectively compared him to Alan Menken, which is a fittingly flattering compliment!

[@acrefray]

Oh man, I'm loving these! I'm so glad you're loving them too! Personally I'm a huge fan of the songs from Words Words Words, and What. I'm sure you will love most of them. Thank you so much for these! Have a wonderful day. Another request: "Channel 5 News".

[@tw5732]

Awesome reaction. Been waiting on you to do this one and also “Eff”

[@tigdex]

Love the Bo Burnham reactions dude, if we could get some more Watsky I'd be eternally grateful

[@tedlitschauer9061]

I hope he gets to some Watsky. It would be so awesome 👏

[@tigdex]

@@tedlitschauer9061 he's done 3 or 4 but would be amazing to see him dive fully down that rabbit hole

[@limz5093]

this whole song is bo just flexing its amazing

[@jaceeaster2246]

bos song "eff" has gotta b next!!! more bars! thanks man.

[@calebrodarte7888]

2:44 the solar plexus is a part on the body its like ur chest in between ur ribs theres like a spot in the middle like “ohh i got hit in the solar plexus”

[@Travis-hq3lh]

If you are into the shorter rap style Bo you should check of Eff

[@tfrom789]

Love it! Another one I recommend is channel five news the musical. Awesome song, super underrated

[@GoodTerror21401]

"crabk that funky sh*t to 11" ie a reference from an old movie but i dont know the movie 😅

[@bayonettakertok2363]

Love it man, love hearing your insight. I don't have many more Bo songs to recommend, but "Ripple" by the Grateful Dead is like poetry for the soul to me, would love to see you do a reaction to it one day I'd even be happy to donate to the channel if it gives a better chance of you listening to it. Have a good day brother ❤️

[@bayonettakertok2363]

I tried going for your second patreon tier but it appears to be sold out

[@carafry4606]

I'll totally second "Ripple". Pure beauty. 🌹💀

[@limz5093]

glad you reacted to this, eff next!

[@RandiPie71]

This absolutely made my week!!

[@gryllodea]

As far as 'what.' goes, you should check out 'Channel 5 News: The Musical. Good content btw :)

[@quintinpeixoto139]

As for composing you should check out his LIVE from the special "We think we know you" His performance shows he sees all the the music in his head both lyrics and instrument

[@pendleyparagons]

I love the Jay Gatsby reference lmao

[@christophermorin9036]

I haven't heard flow like this before aside from Weird Al lol.

[@peterwilliamson5953]

im in it for the music , intelligent lyrics and fun , he reminds me of Frank Zappa in his composure , very top notch .

[@cortexmc13]

Gotta do 3.14 Apple Pi

[@roko1.083]

This one and channel 5 the musical are my favourite! Eff is cool too

[@TitanSummers]

Even with the lyrics most people are just going to hum

[@theConquerersMama]

During lock down, I am not a teacher just an old comedy club manager/booker who had the time to wrangle my and some other kids. I introduced a bunch of teens to Bo and said - you're going to tell me about this. We're going to look up the words and the references. Talk about the different levels. Compare him to other artists like this from Gilbert and Sullivan to Tom Lehr and Carlin, Zappa to Eminem and Tupac. I love that these kids still send me links when they find something clever and funny.

[@xkatiem8434]

My fave bo song

[@willsmith9357]

I’m eating lasagna rn

[@Senpapii_]

You got an extra slice?

[@sXsKidd]

Good, just don't go around smacking people, cuz your wife can't take a joke.

[@Charsept]

I really hope Bo doesn't retire.

[@vazak11]

Love this!

[@majinsole8554]

*cranks it to eleven* ~_~

[@ankhimHoH]

Did you ever react to “eff”?

[@MontgomeryWenis]

Unfortunately, these lyrics aren't exactly correct. Solar plexus is a part of the human body that's known for being highly sensitive. It's a pressure point.

Heloh dave! edit:hello not heloh
