Dance Gavin Dance - Chocolate Jackalope

[@Newgrounderful]

Tim once said during an interview that this was his favorite song from mothership to perform. It was one of my favorite songs on this album, and I think top 5 by them of all time. I'm gonna miss him so much. RIP Tim

[@josephinerosier3705]

Awwwee rip Tim ❤

[@Daevoz]

Sorry but which one is Tim ?

[@tylerjones954]

@@Daevoz Tim Feerick was DGD"s bassist for many years, starting on Acceptance Speech. He also played in Wolf & Bear. He passed away from an overdose in April of 2022. RIP

[@aty2024]

That's it, they win. they are LITERALLY UNTOUCHABLE. THEY NEVER FUCK UP.

[@gaulcopo]

2:56 is the freaking best part here! Don't let go I know you want a little more Don't be gross and I'll be good to you Call my phone I know you want a little more Let it flow I can be good to you You and I We can linger under starlit skies Help me survive

[@Guitardudeftw]

IsThatYou? It is impossible not to dance and sing along to this part!

[@cchristianjeremy]

IsThatYou? Makes me wanna dance haha

[@ThatGuy-kf5kc]

Agreed.

[@chrisgreenwood8188]

1:34 on

[@frozenandchosen]

I feel so passionately about how good this part is fuck it just gets me

"he's my widdle baby meow meow boo" 🙌🙌

😻😻

[@SlothhhKinggg]

🐱

[@kylew.a3133]

meow.

[@selentric]

I had to check the lyrics to make sure I heard that right...needless to say, I'm not surprised.

[@DavidLopez-rk3nk]

sick!!

[@joshuagarcia7534]

This was my friends favorite song from y'all, he passed on Sunday but I know he's jamming out to y'all in heaven too 😢🕊️

[@PoIarisPrime]

may he rest in peace

[@jrawb6yesno]

This is the best album they've ever done. Tilian's getting more fans than Jonny Craig was in DGD, this topped the all-time favorite Happiness (2009) album, and this is the most creative of all their work so far. What else? I'm happy as fuck!

[@DamienTheCat]

Incredibly subjective

[@jrawb6yesno]

You might be right, but this one isn't going to disappoint a lot of people. That's for sure.

[@liammitchell1163]

Yeah wheres your evidence that happiness is the number one all time favourite album?

[@gc12301998]

im a huuuuge jonny fan 😏 and i love tillian too, i love this album, i just hate tree city sessions. Theyre both great not trying to copy each other

[@Khirna2]

I mean, I like each album quite a bit. Some days I feel like Jonny, other days I feel like Tilian. Then there's the in between days when I want some Kurt.

[@MrDeadlySmile]

"He's my widdle baby meow meow boo" I love this band so much ❤

[@jaimejam8903]

Will Swan has a great voice. I remember he was screams for the happiness album. I want more Will Swan vocals!

[@stoned_]

Me too

[@ulyssesm.daniels6927]

"SECRET BAND" MY BUD, it's their side band. Check out their self titled album for more Will vocals on Delete the Believer and one other or LP2 for Jon going beastmode for an entire album.

[@boshjohnson]

@@ulyssesm.daniels6927 Will goes hard as hell on 'Wasted Youth' too

[@s0urp0wer5]

Will is the core talent this band would be nothing without him. Swancore is a whole sub genre for a reason

[@andrewmarra1135]

Let’s be honest everyone, 2:56 is by far the most beautiful part of this song.

[@seanbillington3287]

No, the most beautiful part is 1:46-2:21

[@rekt7761]

by far my most favorite part of the song

[@AllHailZeppelin]

For me it’s the intro

[@thePIEpercentile]

Jon Mess is the greatest lyricist of all time

[@BdaB164]

We need a 2nd Secret Band album asap

[@thePIEpercentile]

TRUEEEE

[@m31a89]

isn't their 2? or is it a full length and some eps

[@thePIEpercentile]

yeah there's an ep and a full length

[@narlycharley]

Harrison Hammett Music Darroh Sudderth? Nobody can match that animal.

[@christianjordan1713]

1:35. I feel the sensation of a embarking on a magical cosmic adventure.

[@Wowee2012]

It's about time they wrote a song that mentioned Tilian's body roll dance.

[@samdaman9214]

Lmao true

[@wolfyspack7116]

This is one of the best ones on the album I'll be listening to it for days the whole album is great!!

[@shawnb9225]

So far, this and Young Robot are the only ones where they really mix it up with the instrumentals. And a little bit on Liars, too. Other than that, every song is heavy and fast, which is kinda generic for them.

[@cryoskairos910]

You just gotta keep listening to it lol

[@mattbuckley2791]

you need to feel the fucking funk brother!

[@shawnb9225]

haha I'll keep replaying it

[@RinaSheepdog]

Someone has no grasp on music theory. There's only like, 2 "heavy" songs on this towards the end.

[@jordanalves41]

I'm going to fucking love this fucking album.

[@Gson123456]

Yes yes yes and just yes

[@kylew.a3133]

I fucking love this fucking album.

[@daemosofchaos]

It is an amazing album.

[@2modern2Bgenius]

This fucking album is so fucking amazing

[@daviswiggs4695]

This might be my favourite song on the album! Love it! The riffs, lyrics, screaming and singing. Masterpiece!

[@BlaireWhiteX]

This one's so good aaaah

[@divineshadow-gathererofmag7710]

HOLY FUCK BLAIR YOU LISTEN TO DGD!? YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE KZbinR!

[@BlaireWhiteX]

Divine Shadow- Gatherer of Magic They're one of my favorites, I saw them live in San Francisco 2 weeks ago! :)

[@divineshadow-gathererofmag7710]

Blaire White OMG I am so jealous of you right now XD. How were they? I have yet to see them live yet and I hope they are as good people say! Can you tell me how your time was there please!?

[@Silencex84]

Really?!?! I was there too!! I crowd surfed to the stage when they played Death Of A Strawberry :)

[@Trotskers]

All these dudes super excited to announce their homosexuality to the world. ~Not that there's anything wrong with that. Or something like that.

[@AndyAngelZ]

This album reminds me of one of those animes where the main character "shows" their true potential. Tilian Pearson has DEFINITELY showed his truest potential

[@leticia3899]

I may be the only one with this opinion, but I feel like Tillian outdoes both Jonny and Kurt. This album really shows his true potential. I just feel like none of them have shit on him now. This album is crazy good, new favorite. And that's a big statement coming from me

[@oldjag1887]

Leticia Sanchez happiness was ok I guess

[@oldjag1887]

Leticia Sanchez but this tops every other album

[@dangertarain8757]

Yeah idk Kurt is my favorite out of all of them, Death Star to me is their best album and DTBM2 is their 2nd best to me this is def tied for 2nd to me though.

[@leticia3899]

Totally understandable. Just knowing that those singers are in the past and Tilian is who we have now I'm totally not let down at all. He fits DGD the most in my opinion

[@dangertarain8757]

Oh yeah I love this Album for sure, Tillian is definitely a DGD vocalist now. I didn't like Acceptance Speech, but this is a HUGE step up from that. To me atleast. Instant Gratification was a solid album though

[@zeroinked]

"HE'S MY WIDDLE BABY MEOW MEOW BOO!"

[@mlfrazier4]

"He's my widdle baby meow meow boo!"*****

[@Richerodt]

I said this might be my new favorite DGD album when I watched 'Young Robot.' After the 5th listen through, I can confirm. Holy hell you guys.

[@Derrickstare]

Definitely my favorite

[@DirEnGreyChik]

I can't get over the riff in the beginning

[@Flubberiam]

You use to call me on my cellphone 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 bars haha

[@ryanrobinson1762]

Anthony Williams that shit was funny

[@jackofspades9742]

Anthony Williams I thought I was the only one who was like :0 when he spit that shit 🔥

[@noface17244]

"i'm not even a man i'm just a cat in disguise" same

[@derekheld4620]

A cat in disguise amazing.

[@minoos2482]

I KNEW JON WAS A DAMN CAT ALL ALONG

[@michaelsotelo5051]

it was him all along on his Defying Gravity album cover

[@TehErr0r]

hotline bling reference? 1:40

[@m31a89]

You don't say?

[@callumloker2426]

anyone else think of the body rolls song as well at the beginning of the song?

[@spookymochi]

Callum Loker all i can think about is how tilian dances on stage w/ his body rolls ...

[@ethanheath6358]

This song is literally about Jon Mess thinking he's a cat

[@e.moonbound2420]

Ethan Heath ¿Really?

[@TheMetronome1]

Not reaaaally. There's a verse half way through the song where Mess reflects that he was surprised he's stopped being a wall flower. He uses the idea of "tapping into the brain of his cat" as an absurd way of showing that if the present had taken this much of an unexpected turn, that he ended up with his ass not stuck to a wall, then the future could be as crazy has him being able to talk to his cat

[@TheMetronome1]

The lines were "Couldn't face the fact that my ass aint a plaque There's a wall and my behind is not there I can't wait to tap into the brain of my cat And let him know hes my little meow meow boo"

[@storingjazzinmycheeksforth5319]

Jon thinks he’s a cat, Tilian’s doing that weird body rolling dance he does, and will swan’s been listening to too much drake

[@bml3408]

😂

[@MrJoshStarlight]

I absolutely love the part that starts at 1:57!

[@beccahoffmann6790]

me too!!!!!!!

[@NoobsPwning]

was waiting the whole time for will to have a part

[@hecksongs9803]

"Meow meow boo..." Ugh, it's painfully catchy... this is why I hate loving you Jon Mess :) Great song, good album, this band has evolved so much. As an old fan, I still like a lot of their new stuff!

[@Silencex84]

My Album Of The Year!!

[@xryanlukastodd5263x]

MINE TOO

[@Silencex84]

And that is saying a lot due to how there have been soooooooo many fucking awesome releases this year!

[@xryanlukastodd5263x]

Trueeee, have you checked out The Fall of Troy's new album or Hail the Sun's? Both amazing albums as well, but this is #1

[@Silencex84]

I have checked out Fall Of Troy's newest album, definately one of the best this year. I actually saw Hail The Sun live when they were opening for DGD. They were awesome live and I got to meet the lead vocalist, such a chill dude. Oh and I also met Will Swan after the concert :D

[@xryanlukastodd5263x]

That's awesome! They were just by my town on Sunday & I missed them. I'm so salty that I did

[@minoos2482]

I cannot like this song more. It's the perfect best song for me on Mothership and I just can't get tired of it! It's an impeccable embodiment of Tilian's emotional burst (especially in the intro), Jon's silliness with a dressing of Will's rap verse, the peak level of their guitar, bass, and dem drum kicks. Just fucking A amazing song by these crazy talented people.

[@javieralfonsorodriguezlara2412]

2:56= AMAZING💖

[@davidegri3990]

fave on the album. I keep coming back to this one.

[@Eduardo-rw8yd]

2:55 best part ever, the whole song should be like that

[@goodnightmoon]

dgd has the best weird song names

[@AllanHathaway]

Is that little orb in the upper right the deathstar? I think it is.

[@Linkplaysvideogames]

oh my god I hope so

[@joshuaghoul3947]

Allan Tober Yes it is

[@XxJiiGSAWx]

yeah in the video for Chucky vs The Giant Tortuous it goes up close to it

[@PoIarisPrime]

Nice

[@backintownproductions]

Holy shit 1:35 and on... Please never stop making music DGD.

[@tabadadomingues3763]

The guitar here is beautiful, 4 years later and still amazed

[@RedCityFormat]

Dope guitar. One of their best intros already

[@KingTimmahB]

Currently listening to DGD's older albums as a first timer. I'm obsessed with 1:59 & 2:56

[@Drostyles7676]

2020 & still come back to this & just love 2:56

[@lightsleepr]

i love jon mess's lyrics on this album

[@markroy9704]

Definitely one of my best from the album

[@trevorrobinson4572]

the crow sound at 3:09 so dope

Still a banger..... RIP Tim

[@DanTragedy]

i love these non sense phrases in the lyrics makes me lol "I couldn't wait to tap Into the brain of my cat And let him know, he's my widdle baby meow meow boo" hahaha love it

[@DnAfilms405]

This song is absolutely mesmerizing man...

[@aideneric2002]

[@canran]

This is the best of the bunch on an absolutely flawless album! This song made me well up the first time I heard it....it's just so uplifting

[@ryandiaz6612]

"Young enough to feel this!" Really takes me back with this band.

[@aye-ayeron2411]

at 3:08 I love that little background noise they added.

[@AnimateTheWorld]

And let him know, he's my widdle baby meow meow boo. Best lyrics

[@UltimateW910]

[@kcsunshine57]

October has been a great month of albums

[@jaimejam8903]

Will Swans vocals are smooth. I liked his screaming on the Happiness album. But I'm liking him putting down flows in these recent albums.

[@leyva6260]

OMG!!! I'm glad I figured out about this band!!!

[@classychristina18]

I hugged Jon Mess last night, it was fucking magical.

[@BlakeLopez-el4oc]

This such a awesome yet adorable song😻

[@luciano2508]

This band is great! Brazil luv u guys!

[@Perezfernando320]

My favorite drumming off the track! I swear Dance Gavin Dance got that funky feeling

[@emperurtv4392]

This song always gets stuck in your head, don't lie.

[@christianbrewerton710]

This song is best played with the subs turned up! The bass during the riffs is mesmerizing

[@trevorrobinson4572]

This song is so incredibly gorgeous. Extremely mature sounding.

[@JohnWayne-nk8ck]

“You and I, We can linger under star lit skies” the way this is sung reminds me of frank Sinatra’s melody’s

[@TeamLiquidPikachu420]

DGD: UP IN THE CASINO ME: AIN'T NO DOUBT I'M GONNA LET IT ALL GO

[@alexsanderdelatorre8919]

[@mraudiss]

my fav so far

[@allangutierrez9378]

omg the best song

[@MrJakotic]

love that double hit on the snare in the chorus.

[@skydancer171]

[@xryanlukastodd5263x]

I think this is my favorite song

[@ELI-yr7ee]

"And God doesn't have a plan for me" This exactly how I feel every day.

[@gabrielgomez1395]

Wow, you're so edgy.

[@ELI-yr7ee]

SHIT, FUCK, GODDAMN IT, UR RIGHT

[@ambrosecook-saloway2959]

I always feel like the point is, you make your own plan, why even ask god.

[@ELI-yr7ee]

Ambrose Cook-Saloway Philosophical af dude, but its a great song.

[@Derrickstare]

ur name messed me up while i was scrolling, i thought u said "And God doesn't have a waffle for me"

[@cladiosanchez6865]

Im still convinced Jon had his children write this, or just used fridge magnets and darts to pick words.

[@Immolator772]

That ''Hotline Bling'' reference though :D

[@r35_stoneskull12]

that intro😮 im getting into this band fast
