[@tlucas9798]

Watching him perform is part of the joy of their cadence, it’s natural for him, not forced. Please try “Never there” by Cake

[@DocRobert]

His cadence always sounds like he’s late for the song, but then he’s always in the right place at the end of the phrase.

[@chrisw3024]

It's like...wonderfully, hilariously Janky.

[@nno7532]

this is the art of musicians and performers that is being lost when music is made on computers.

[@troy4000]

The horns in "Never there" are🔥

[@lisanelson6073]

I love that song!

[@ExUSSailor]

Cake is one the most overlooked bands around. They're SO good.

[@jessereyna6662]

100%

[@vineshnaidoo9402]

Too true broer...

[@bipolarewok]

One year later, this statement stays true.

[@mustdestroyman]

The smile on Brad's face is priceless during this reaction 😄

[@RSpracticalshooting]

I've enjoyed seeing Brad start finding music he really vibes with.

[@RSpracticalshooting]

I've always loved this version. They absolutely killed it.

[@DocRobert]

In the top 5 covers of all time.

[@christhompson2006]

Their cover of War Pigs is fantastic also.

[@joesmith5159]

i think its garbage

[@christhompson2006]

@@joesmith5159 No, it was definently Cake. Garbage sounds totally different

[@joesmith5159]

@@christhompson2006 funny but the song sucks

[@jeffreyaverett1800]

John's cadence is the icing on the Cake! Loved the standing O, first time seeing that from Brad. More Cake please, I have a sweet tooth. 😁 You should check out Never There next...

[@shinerdrinker9249]

FINALLY! Someone who truly appreciates Cake. Whew, the journey has been long but the destination is worth it. Welcome Brad, welcome.

[@vineshnaidoo9402]

Got to go the distance

[@rhodus333]

"Never There", "Love You Madly", "Guitar", "Shadow Stabbing", "Italian Leather Sofa", "Symphony in C". All bangers!! Love Cake!!

[@paulthegeek]

oh man, symphony in C is the best. that whole record really. not a bad song on there.

[@paulthegeek]

"opera singer". the best.

[@Scrizot]

Cake is cool. My favorite songs from them are "you turn the screws" and "never there"

[@markcastellanet9672]

Sheep go to heaven is a great song too.

[@icepick1514]

"Shut the fuck up"

[@paranoidewok6772]

Such a huge catalog of great music. Keep the Cake coming!

[@someoldatheist6712]

"comfort eagle" and " sheep go to heaven" are a couple of my fav Cake songs. They have a lot of great music but that is a couple of great ones to start with.

[@martinXY]

goats go to hell.

[@mrthud1981]

Finally finally! Brad found a song he loved. Never thought it was going to be “Cake”

[@FireflyPDP]

Cake is amazing, definitely check out more music from them. I recommend "Comfort Eagle", "Nugget", "Italian Leather Sofa", "Rock 'n Roll Lifestyle", "Never There", or if you want another cover they did, their version of "War Pigs". Honestly you can't go wrong with any of their stuff

[@crescentfreshbret]

It’s a shame they haven’t put out an album of new material in ages. And yeah, that cover of “War Pigs” is wonderful.

[@dominicsalazar7444]

Second "Italian leather sofa"

[@FireflyPDP]

@@crescentfreshbret They did put out a single in 2018, Sinking Ship

[@risksrewardsrelics51]

Stickshifts and Safety Belts

[@iTodd08]

Also check out "Winter". It literally gives chills.

[@TheJudeniro]

The Bass LINE in this song is awesome!!! .

[@PhatGuSS]

Their bass player has some legitimate funk in his lines!! It's so good!!

[@sebastiancosenza1799]

El bajo lo mejor del tema

[@alettakestlmeier306]

'Friend is a four letter word' and Comfort Eagle are my all time favorites. More Cake please!

[@corvuslight]

I remember when Cake would play every weekend for $6 around town and bring out a full horn section...their flyers for the show were seemingly everywhere. Always a fun live show..

[@TonyHavenMusic]

They were really well backed middle class kids I think, just given the freedom to go out and do what they want and some interesting happens that way 😅

[@EasyZee69]

Wow! Never seen a standing ovation from Brad before. I'm shocked, it's like spotting something as rare as an albino peacock.

[@silverhippie3910]

One of the best cover songs ever. Like you all said, they made that their own!✌️✌️✌️

[@Bashprint]

I LOVE the guitar work in this cover, never gets old, especially at the end mixed in with the trumpet.

[@BalbazaktheGreat]

Soooo fucking good. I absolutely love this version. Really, really glad you finally did this one. Check out "Never there" and "Daria." Edit: If you go to karaoke, it's actually really easy to get into the unusual cadence - it starts feeling natural. Problem is that if you are with other people somebody will invariably try to sing along to the Gloria Gaynor version and the whole thing will be a big mess.

[@clare1061]

Hell Yeah Daria

[@joeraymorton2414]

One of THE BEST covers ever. Completely made it their own and BETTER. 😎

[@Hundhammer]

Wow, that was the first time for me seeing Brad vibing more right from the start than Lex, and he was right, this cover is great beyond imagination! I don't know that many other songs by Cake, and those I know I don't like as much as I love this one, but here we have an absolutely incredible masterpiece! I've been loving this from the first time I listened to it about 20 years ago, and still do, and come back to it whenever I need something really uplifting. This for me might be on a playlist of my 20 most beloved songs ever! Great reaction, thank God you got it! :D

[@joelmastrobattisto422]

Cake is one of my all-time favorites, you need to check out “sheep go to heaven goats go to hell” This is one of my favorite Flows in any song I’ve heard, they’re so funky and quirky they are absolutely amazing

[@AuspexAO]

Good taste. I think it's their best song.

[@natefuller4039]

Yooooooo a Brad standing ovation?!? That just made me so happy. Have a good week y'all!

[@noecruz6587]

I've never seen Brad so happy 😊. It's contagious. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.love it

[@xrentonx]

The cadence of his vocals is everything about this song! Love how he's slightly off beat on some of his delivery.. Happy to see that others get it too. So freaking great!

[@indianabill5740]

I worked onstage at a multi-band concert at George Mason U. Cake was one of the bands. Only 3 guys in the band so the guitar player also played trumpet. They put on a great show.

[@twisted2291]

Could have said it better. "A cover is a risky thing to do." it really is. What drew me to this version of this song is the funky bass throughout it. I play bass and it took me a long time to learn this version. But it just flows with so much feeling. Love it.

[@MusicMissionary]

It is a really complex bass line.

[@anthonydawson8080]

I used to play this with a band that never really went anywhere. This and a bunch of sublime covers. So fun

[@drServitis]

I'M OLD. I REMEMBER WHEN GLORIA GAYNOR DID THIS HIT. BOUGHT THE RECORD AND PLAYED IT ALOT. MEMORIES BABY.

[@GordonFadie]

Now THAT'S a reaction! That's what reaction videos are all about! Love this one ❤️

[@Pelesfyre]

The rhythmic guitar part at the end and then the trumpet is the best part of this song. Their instrumental interpretation of the original basically.

[@bstardtedcruz8022]

I'm glad you gave this a standing ovation. Cake are some of the best musicians from the modern age, most underrated band of all time imo.

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

Cake was misrepresented and lumped in with other bands they had no business being next to. At the time I didn't get it. A few years later a friend was like "dude, Cake is great." And I gave it another chance and agreed.

[@TheFrosty1994]

There needs to be more Cake reactions on youtube

[@ErikWolowitz]

Never heard this before. So funky

[@MrSuperHappyPants]

If you like Cake, I'd highly, highly HIGHLY recommend "Let Me Go". Pretty much everything off the Prolonging The Magic record is pure gold. Alpha Beta Parking Lot is another fave of mine, but the whole record is impeccable. KEEP. THIS. CHANNEL. GOING. PLEASE.

[@Markyajv]

CAKE was so much fun. I remember exactly when I bought this CD and it brought back memories if where I was in my life. But then again I love music. I love watching you guys. Such a great channel. And I'm damn old too. Lol.

[@UnclePengy]

I like how he's deliberately off the tempo, and makes it work. Syncopation genius.

[@10SecondZ06]

This is one of the rare cases where the cover is better than the original. This is from the album “Fashion Nugget” and every song is great if you listen to it in order in its entirety. I used to cruise in the summer jammin this album on repeat daily for years during the summers. Cake is awesome and this version of the song is their vibe. One of a kind. I really thought Brad especially would love Cake and so far he’s loved them all. And he stood up and clapped 💪

[@ajcbng8289]

Cake has never made a bad song. EVER. So damned jazzy. Gotta appreciate it ❤❤

[@paulthegeek]

Honestly, when you've heard this version enough you just MEMORIZE the cadence. Honestly, I can sing this one more accurately than I can the Gloria Gaynor version. HER version sounds weird to me at this point.

[@v.j.3029]

Yup, for all off us who have heard Gloria's version a million times and know the lyrics by heart, the cadence in this version is really easy to follow and sing along to. I got sick of the original cause it's been overplayed to death but I love this cover.

[@michaelccozens]

I've heard the Gaynor original, and it's great (though admittedly before my time, so my exposure is kinda minimal), but when I think of this song, this version is the only one I can hear in my head.

[@Micah_4D]

More Cake, please. The bass line brings that funk. Edit: that cut at the end was the poster of the song, the song has a better resolution at the end; just a few seconds more but definitely worth it.

[@jeffforrester5896]

Cake s so much fun! I love the bass player’s groove

[@5linx4lif]

Cake was so unique. Love that album.

[@woodsea434]

Cake is super underrated. They have so many great songs.

[@toni6490]

My favorite line: "Do y'all remember the original?". Lol. Love how you said you'd choose this song over the original ❤️ CAKE is one of my favorite bands out there! Sooo underrated for how amazingly talented they are!

[@MusicMissionary]

Love that back phrasing.

[@timelesstravelclub6240]

Whoa! I’ve never heard this version before… I love it!

[@duddlepuz]

When it comes to Cake, keep diggin'. There's gold in them there hills.....

[@diveplane05]

Gotta give it to the Bassist and Drummer for holding this down! I dig you guys, and Brad, your brother is a great addition! Much love from: Palm Beach Gardens, Florida!

[@firefistx7477]

Brad definitely loves cake. Im glad i was too young to remember the names of songs but old enough to remember the tune and respressed that tune until i could look em up again

[@davidmeir9348]

Brad is right, it is a fantastic cover. Cake were a great group and very talented musicians. Also they have their trademark that make the group instantly recognizable, mainly the lead vocal delivery, their gorgeous and very bombastic baselines and a lot of brass used in their songs. Also they always have nice melodies and do great covers. Other gems worth listening, Never There, The Distance, Frank Sinatra and their quite unconventional but fantastic cover of Black Sabbath War Pigs.

[@agentorange9745]

This is like some band geeks who know how to play drums, bass and guitar, and the one guy who just plays the trumpet getting together and playing random songs and they said “we should play ’I Will Survive’” and they just figure it out and start jamming.

[@brutisfletcher]

I was never a huge Cake fan though I have always dug them. I’ve never even bought any of their music but I have most definitely listened to them On Purpose! Lex nailed it with how awesome it is that they retained their sound and they did so doing the song justice simultaneously.

[@tigerbalm20000]

“Dime” is my favorite Cake song. You should def do that one next. The lyrics are so clever.

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

In my opinion Cake is one of the best bands to come out in the last thirty years, they have such an extensive catalog of overwhelmingly amazing songs. "Never There", "Wheels", and "Mustache Man (Wasted)" are a few you guys could check out in the future. I'm happy to see Brad genuinely enjoying a song the whole way through, if any song deserved a standing ovation this one did lol. Keep the quality content coming ya'll.

[@humbertojimenez3475]

This version has so much more anger and angst than the original version…which matches the lyrics.

[@michazmic1]

Brads laugh was the bomb! I laughed so hard Thank you for that ! It’s great to see you loosen up a bit.

[@mcjake22]

One of my absolute favorites that my band covers!!!!!

[@zkeletonz001]

Love how they kept a seventies feel to it with a lot of the sound.

[@mattnolley7439]

Cake's cover of "War Pigs" is also very much worth a listen.

[@Grobut81]

Lex's beard is on point! You can't unsee it now.

[@darrendixon7517]

Well done! I was always hoping you guys would cover this song. I love Cake.

[@slimi_jimi]

Never seen Brad with so much emotion to a song, impressive.

[@gregnewman2512]

Lounge lizard vocals. Great.

[@thumplife792]

This band's flow is like being a socially awkward person, but you're trying to play it cool and be normal at a party. I love this band.

[@michaelccozens]

Interesting take! I find it the other extreme; just so much confidence that they almost don't care if you like their stuff or not. They're doing something really cool that they really enjoy, and you can hop on or stay behind, but they're going. I remember seeing an old video of a live performance by The Doors, and Jim Morrison had something of a similar vibe. He stood perfectly still as the song started, kinda leaning on the mic stand. In anyone else, it would look like a person frozen in terror, but Jim just oozed authority. Couldn't tell you why, but the difference was striking.

[@marymitchell8717]

So glad you guys are into Cake, they are awesome! I think my favorite Cake song is either this cover, or Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps.

[@TrollingInTheDeep]

When the cover outperforms the original...👍🤘

[@NicholasGarnerPDX]

This may be the most I've seen Brad clearly enjoy anything.

[@JustinSeara]

Bassist going off on this CAKE track

[@emcsquared8681]

Seen them live and that’s just how he sings, and it’s fantastic.

[@shaunamusser7198]

They are still my top live show of all time. So fun.

[@s.willis8426]

Italian Leather Sofa is a classic Cake masterpiece.

[@luissalinas6938]

Saw Them live in Sacramento, 90's bomb just amazing trumpet player.... cool band

[@onlywasooo6006]

Listen to that bass... My god. I f'n love cake

[@FuckingFuckShitBitch]

Hell yes!! More Cake!!@!

[@10SecondZ06]

Brad, I think you’ll like the song “Friend Is A Four Letter Word” off the same album “Fashion Nugget”. Deep meaning and makes you think, similar Cake cadence too. Album is 🔥

[@justinprimus3633]

That is def their best album. Super dope! I agree, Friend is a really good song

[@Darth-Claw-Killflex]

I forgot how awesome this is...thanks.

[@michaeltabor4176]

Cake is one of those bands that sounds just as amazing live as they do on their albums.

[@SpeedBoost]

Seeing as you guys have enjoyed each Cake song you've heard so far, you guys really need to check out their songs "Hem of Your Garment" and "Frank Sinatra". You'll love them.

[@knowingdawn]

"'I will.. survive.' Instantly ungrounded!" lol

[@docvoodoo565]

I’ve always felt like William Shatner and Christopher Walken were an inspiration in their sound.

[@adamharris3520]

Bass work is immaculate!

[@neilshackleton89]

I think this is the biggest reaction I have ever seen from Brad. Awesome. A few Cake songs that I haven't seen others suggest yet: "Frank Sinatra", "Hem of Your Garment", and "Opera Singer". Also "Nugget", but language warnings for that one. Most of those are more album tracks than singles, but I love them all.

[@AJtux]

I've never seen Brad react like that. Bravo!

[@makz524]

this song sounds like open mic night, 15 minutes before closing time, at the condemned bar 3 blocks down the street from the mental hospital.

[@michaeldarr225]

Wow...genuine emotion from Brad...awesome...great Sacramento band

[@jek4837]

"Ruby Sees All", "Sheep Go to Heaven (Goats go to Hell)", and "Love You Madly" are some more fun ones. Cake's just a fun band with their own unique style.

[@jonpaulevans31]

'Never There' is another good one by Cake. I also really dug, and I might be off on the title, 'Frank Sinatra.' If I got the song name wrong, I'm sure there's a Cake fan that knows what song I'm thinking of and can correct me.

[@FireflyPDP]

You got it right my dude

[@user-yq7jt4rg3j]

I saw them in concert last week. The lead singer was talking in between songs and he pauses in between words when he talks. That's just who he is and what makes him unique. Almost like a little stutter. They were great live.

[@stefan_becker]

This is so awesome. Cool, sophisticated and funky! I love that version! 😍👍

[@cameragod1]

A friend of mine told me she wants this played at her funeral (whenever that happens) and I thought yeah... I'm stealing that.

[@d-2793]

Thanks for reacting!! This song. just gets better & better & better then it ends.

[@tilemonkee5510]

YEEAAHH!! More! More! How about "Stickshifts and safety belts" , for a complete change of pace?

[@JasonMahipat]

Lovin the Cake!! Happy Brad is feeling them this much, they rock.

[@joesmith8725]

One of Sacramento, California's finest lol. Cake is a great group. odd vocals his singing reminds me of jazz lounge singing weird timing and off beat lol, but great musical instruments. Awesome cover! Old disco song.

[@JPDillon]

My favorite part of this song is when he sings that line about stopping by and his rhythm makes it sound like he's emphasizing every word to show just how determined he his to be rid of his ex: "And. so. you. thought. you'd. just. drop. by. and. you. ex. pect. me. to. be. free."

[@VZ935]

Great song written by cousin Dino. Many are shocked a man wrote this song since Gloria Gaynor's fantastic performance , she owns this song!
