@@ichigoeater I think it’s about how everyone wants the best for them. But don’t give a F about whether they’re the best for the other person. They want to be who they are, while they want the other person to be exactly according to their dreams, and to accommodate, adjust and compromise all the time. They want a perfect partner while being full of flaws themselves. Rather than all of this, just find someone whom you love and you’re compatible with, and they love you back and they’re compatible with you.

[@ian.indiano]

[Intro] We all want love How many single ladies out there, looking for love tonight? (Wooo!) Yeah, woo that sadness out There's more where that came from Ladies, I know what you want-want-want [Verse 1] You want a guy that's sweet, a guy that's tough A feminist who likes to pay for stuff The kind of guy that gets along with your friends Without being attracted to any of them A good boy, a bad boy; a good bad boy; A half good, half bad, half boy Loves your brothers, sensitive but not weak and Is a great lover, calls your mother on the weekend [Pre-Chorus 1] Now you might think that this guy only exists in your mind Guess what: You're right! [Chorus] If you want love, lower your expectations a few Because Prince Charming would never settle for you~ If you want love, just pick a guy and love him And if he's got a thing for feet, say: "Fuck it, sweep me off 'em" [Interlude] Now the good thing is that at least men have very realistic expectations for women... He said, sarcastically setting up a second verse in a comedy song [Verse 2] You want a girl that's nice, a girl that's not Obsessed with her looks, but is insanely hot The kind of girl that you can show to your folks Loves the movies that you like and always laughs at your jokes A real girl, a hot girl; a really hot girl; A brand new, really hot, real doll Wants to impress you, doesn't care if you notice And only ever uses you to tickle her throat with [Pre-Chorus 2] Now you might think that this girl only exists in your mind But she's real, but last week she died [Chorus] If you want love, lower your expectations a lot You might think your dick is a gift, I promise it's not If you want love, just pick a girl and love her Then whip out your dick and let the girl you love decline the offer [Bridge] I don't want a neat freak, I don't want a slob Somebody with bedhead and a dead-end job 'Cause I won't settle for less than perfect We want perfect children, a perfect life A perfect husband or a perfect wife But deep down we know, we don't deserve it But- [Outro] We all deserve love, even on the days when we aren't our best 'Cause we all suck, but love can make us suck less We all deserve love, it's the very best part of being alive And I would know I just turned 25

I love the ending. I like to think he is making fun of younger people in their teens and twenties who think they're all smart and big shotty even though they've only been alive less than a quarter of a century. It also implies that, despite making all these seemingly wise and superior observations about life, he still doesn't know what's going on any more than the rest of us. He was only 25 and he knew he still had a lot to learn and grow from.

Bo is honestly a comedic and just all round genius, he makes these songs and disguises them with comedy, but they all honestly have really great meanings to them.

[@DanielSanchez-wu4rz]

Story Time: Saw the "Is there anything better than pussu? Yes a really good book" vine a long time ago and that was the first time I saw Bo Burnham. Then Thomas Sanders did a short video with this song transitioning in between all his characters and I thought, "This song is great where's the rest?" So I looked up the full version and thought, "That was amazing 😂, wait... he does full shows?!" And that's how he became my favorite comedian.

[@liamjohnstone1062]

Similar story: My friend showed me "Im Bo Yo" when it first came out and i thought it was hilarious. Watched a bunch more of his videos but then sort of left it alone forever. I always youtube stuff with comedians, not even necessarily stand up shows or performances. I was going through a major Patrice Oneal phase (still am) and found him on the show The Green Room with Paul Provenza. I liked the show and watched more episodes and Bo was on one. He was great on the show and performed "Art is dead" and it blew my mind. Googled him and seen he had 2 specials on Netflix so i watched those and absolutely loved them but even then it wasnt until i tried to find more stuff on KZbin that i even noticed he was the guy that i watched on KZbin probably 10 years ago!

[@LegacyFTW]

Liam Johnstone Liam Johnstone Yes, Bo has been really prolific with his content and spread like wildfire from his original KZbin setup to doing regular comedy shows and developed viral popularity on vine as well. His appearance on The Green Room was spectacular and the mutual admiration across the generations of comedians felt surreal and they even played on it with faux-mockery of their relevance to each other’s natural demographic. As they put it in that show, it is an interesting juxtaposition.

I wont lie this is probably one of my favorite Bo Burnham songs. not only is it a bop (and I just LOVE the way he sings it), it's all about how we shouldn't set up contradictory or unrealistic expectations for our romantic partners because we're all human. we're all unique individuals with our own idiosyncrasies, and we should learn to stop looking for love based on this complex image we have in our heads and just accept what's in front of us.
