The Key of Awesome
P.O. Box 30921 New York, NY 10011
LYRICS:
It seems like a silly choice
For a grown man to use this voice
The Postal Service did it first
I sound like them but 10 times worse
A cloud pooped out a rainbow turd
Im just singing random words
I make songs with bleeps and bloops
I sometimes write with apple loops
Electronic wuss electronic wuss
I sound like a total puss
The oceans constellations make me cry
Swimming in a lemon creek
Tadpoles tickle my butt cheeks
A bearded nun flies through the sky
I wrote this song when I was high
I make love to birds and bees
And masturbate to redwood trees
A dragon's balls will drop today.
A centaur screams hip hip hooray
Electronic wuss electronic wuss
Lets all smoke some purple kush
Prepubescent girls think I'm so deep
My sitting posture is really bad
Holycrap here comes my Dad
DAD
Your mother and I are trying to get some sleep
I asked the strongman in the sky
Why do donuts have to die?
I had a dream the other night
That Elmo and I got in a fight
I couldn't make my punches land
I noticed I had lobster hands
Then a snake wearing a vest
Said, did you study for the test?
What test?
I woke up and wrote this tune
Its going to get me tons of poon
Come ride with me in my sensitive balloon
DAD
(spoken) Turn that godd*mned casio off and go to bed!

"The ocean's constellations make me cry" lol That LEGIT sounds like something in an Owl City song.

[@tales9476]

Not gonna lie... I kinda agree. Totally nonsensical upon serious consideration, but it definitely sounds like the style of metaphor used by Owl City.

[@NoSubsWithContent]

The point is that it sounds good, a lot of music is like that and it's always been this way

[@PanjaRoseGold]

1000 subs with no content I also believe it’s a play on the name of the album Fireflies appeared on, Ocean Eyes

[@aimilios439]

I wrote this song when I was high.

LiEF Green Well I'm going to Georgetown and at 18 years old, I make $35 per hour tutoring kids for the SAT because my score was in the 94th percentile. So I'd say I'm doing pretty well for myself.

Probably my favorite KOA video. I cannot believe it's been 13 years. I feel so old.

[@honcore1443]

Fr I’m surprised it has so little views. I remember watching this when it was pretty new

[@lucascosta2311]

I liked Fireflies and still think this parody is fun. People should stop taking everything seriously.

[@Shadethewolfy]

Same here. :D

[@savannahnasworthy4059]

yeah fireflies is one of my favorite songs I agree

[@raetorres330]

Shut up and move on

[@videodude23]

What is the original name of the song that was parodied off of

[@Shadethewolfy]

videodude23 Fireflies, I believe. I may be wrong though.

[@WongBal]

as a hardcore fan of Owl City I must say this is a spot-on parody

[@captianbacon]

It's also just good.

[@tjsmith5276]

This parody is actually the reason I started listening to Owl City.

[@Dreigonix]

I really like Owl City, but I still thought this was hilarious. XD

[@TheWanderer1000000]

0:50 Hey! Vsauce. Michael here! (He directed the whole thing)

[@Elmerstudd007]

"Swimming in a wooden creek, tadpoles tickle my buttcheeks" That is my favorite line in this.

[@xaviertyack5640]

10 years late, only found this because of vsauce, but gotta say, as much as owl city has a place in my heart, I can appreciate this XD

[@brookebell2911]

I get “the postal service did it first, I sound like them but ten times worse” stuck in my head at least 3x a year. Thanks for making me smile all these years later

[@void_fimshe]

[0:29] - "I sometimes write with Apple loops." Adam Young actually designed some of the ringtones on IOS7, and worked with Apple.

[@madkirk7431]

He said "bleeps and bloops..."

This was the the first KZbin video I ever saw. My dad showed it to me after I heard fireflies I was very young and didn’t understand it I’m now coming back to it and it’s a masterpiece

[@GlamorousGamine]

How can I call myself an Owl City fan if I can't recognize the absurd aspects of his work? This was hilarious!

[@Fearlessblade70]

How can I call myself a KZbin og even tho I have many accounts I only started in 2015 I think and your account is over ten years...... wow man your a O.G.

[@johnregardtrhode5280]

I'm a huge Owl City fan...and this was hilarious!!!It does sound like a actual Owl City song

[@Lovedrug69710]

13 years later after I made a genuine hate comment about how much I hated this song because I loved owl city so much I have grown to love this parody because owl city is weird, also I named my synthwave playlist "bleeps and bloops" because I do be loving bleeps and bloops.

[@Carcerian]

[@Carcerian]

your forgiven, glad you finally saw the light!

[@JohnnyTeststar]

Is this an original soundtrack or a parody of an Owl City song? Hard to tell.

[@TheKsourmoon]

I believe it is "Fireflies"..

[@JohnnyTeststar]

You see, that's what I thought at first, but after comparing the two, they have many differences in the actual music/timing.

[@jacobstraut5601]

+Milkshake Medic it is fireflies. Similar music mixing plus the video heavily mocks the actual song's video.

[@crunch1757]

Milkshake Medic original

[@ljb5163]

Johnny Teststar It sounds like an original parody of Fireflies and Vanilla Twilight mashed together. Lol

[@hazeelford9288]

Am I the only person who still likes Owl City

[@tjsmith5276]

Nope, I actually started liking Owl City because of this parody.

[@田中花子-w3o]

The lyric "The ocean's constellations make me cry" actually sounds like it could be in an Owl City song lol

Little known fact about this video is that Tom from the key of awesome was out of town during the making of this so Vsauce actually directed and edited this one. He wasnt just in it

[@Grantofglyn]

RIP key of awesome, some really great parodies at times at least, this one is a childhood favourite and is still incredibly funny and accurate over a decade later

[@BadReferenceMan]

I remembered there was a time where these parodies barely sounded like the original but we're still good

[@ihateu890]

Favorite lines, "A Cloud poops out a rainbow turd," "Tadpoles tickle my buttchecks," and "I ask the strong man in the sky, why do donuts have to die???" Lmao. Even after watching this almost three years later it's still funny, love Key Of Awesome!

[@dredhok]

My mom absolutely loves Owl City and has a great sense of humour. I’ve been meaning to send this to her for years. Alas, living overseas makes it hard to remember at times. Can’t wait to hear/see her reaction!

[@mauricemakesmovies]

4 years later, did you manage to get a reaction?

[@officialxverzusz]

"I wrote this song when I was high" Checks out

[@PatapuffupataP]

After all these years, this still makes me laugh.

I watched this a few times until I realized that this was a parody of an actually pretty good song.

[@kendallchaos]

icefrout I'm probably gonna feel dumb when you tell me but what is this a parody of?

[@icefrout]

KendallChaos Well, it's more of an amalgam of songs from Owl City, but mainly Fireflies

[@kendallchaos]

icefrout ok now I don't feel as dumb cause I thought I heard fireflies but not the words

[@AbrahamArthemius]

"A bearded nun~" A wild Michael Stevens appeared !

[@itszeyth9863]

My friend: "his music is actually deep because he has insomnia and his lyrics describe what he thinks he would see in his dreams" Me: "have you considered he just might be a gay man addicted to crossing uppers and downers?"

"Why do doughnuts have to die?" I ask that every time I'm in a Krispy Kreme.

Seriously, guys? Saying you're the better fan by swearing and being rude? I'm pretty sure Adam wouldn't like that. And a good fan is not defined by how long they've liked the thing.

I love this video and all the little subtle jokes within it. The R2D2 button and the Flock of Seagulls poster are my favorites.

It isn't supposed to be Fireflies. It's supposed to be a parody of the style of the songs, not necessairly a specific song.
