wow, i didn't expect to see you here, but i'm not exactly surprised that you're a lemon demon fan

[@indycraft7657]

@@YoMothar you can kinda tell that Jan misali is at least a Neil cicierega fan from their mashup songs

[@viraltang]

As someone who sadly only knows two of his songs this is going to be super interesting.

[@FunkMcLovin]

you're going to get your shit rocked

[@deadinthename]

Have fun bud

[@theevilbean]

Ive listened to him for a bit but I took a deep dive in to his stuff like a year or two ago and there's so many bangers, wish I looked in to him sooner!

Welcome to the underworld, enjoy your stay :)

[@NeonBeeCat]

8th wonder is the only song in the world.

[@Viva_Reverie]

This was a fun watch! I've personally gone through all of Neil's wildly long catalogue (And wrote a big ol' spreadsheet documenting all of it with its... roughly 1000 entries. Literally. I just counted), so it was was cool to see a breakdown of something I feel like me and three other people in the world even know the depths of! Good job!

[@kora8592]

I'm curious about this spreadsheet of yours

[@RainbowGoldist]

Viva! You’re one of the people that sent me down the Lemon Demon rabbit hole with your animations a few years ago

[@DJKrimskull]

Can you post the link to that spreadsheet?

[@MarcyTheKindaCoolWizard]

Of course you have pronouns and listen to lemon demon! /pos

[@PleaseLeaveMeAlonee]

Im proud to say that the first song Ive ever heard of Lemon Demon was "Two Trucks"

[@luminous_spores]

Two trucks having sex

[@BooneBluemel]

Hyakugojyuuichi was published in 2001, the song on Clown Circus is Hyakugojyuuichi 2003

[@iomakara9809]

i actually needed this video bc the lemon demon Phenomena has been a complete mystery to me yet i never felt like looking into it

[@alittleofsomething]

I'm only 18 seconds in, and I did meet a person once, who actually disliked music. I found them weird. They told me they liked my streams because I made the music quiet, and they got annoyed when streamers played music loudly. They actually exist.

[@Boppercat]

This vid is so informative, you’ve made me listen though all the lemon demon discography, apart from mego vs spago and I’m probably missing some unreleased tracks too. Ive decided that my favourite album is hip to the javabean My favourite song is either atomic copper claw or you evil shadow has a cup of tea. (I may edit this if my taste changes)

[@wariowarecomix]

There's something so good about hip to the javabean, my favorite is probably dinosaurchestra but hip to the javabean is up there

[@benruniko]

Oh man! I can’t believe I missed seeing this video for so long! I was really missing out!! You did SUCH a great job on this. Tons of research and time and effort went into this and it shows! Thank you so much for educating me on one of my favorite artists. I didn’t even realize the same guy was behind all these different internet favorites of mine! And posting it online where everyone could be enriched by your hard work for free? Truly generous. Thank you very very much sir! I remember when Ultimate Showdown first came out back when I was in highschool. God I laughed for weeks :)

[@meli_lemon_real]

throwing up watching this rn (in a good way)

[@willowtophat6622]

One day I was listening to Fine one day at school and my friend said you should listen to the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. After I listen to that I made a deep dive into Lemon Demon and I saw Touch-Tone Telephone (Yes I was an animation kid...) But after that I fell in love with the music.

[@rexxoskeleton]

lemon demon is like my fav thing ever i loved this video

[@K4sey]

THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD IM CRYING, IM ROLLING ON THE FLOR THAT OUTRO WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY😭 No but fr, I love this so much I cried .

[@Eluthane]

I always loved Marketland. It was the first Lemon Demon song I found. When I stop to think about it. Marketland and it's derision of a market economy was a major step for me in taking communism seriously.

[@inactivepleasegoaway]

thank you for this it's really well made & researched

[@Jman-367]

first video of yours i've watched and i must say that i didn't even realize it was an hour long until it ended so props to you lol

[@CatkingO4]

43:10 Oh cool (my reaction when I see I’m there)

I started with ultimate showdown and found out only 3 years ago that this new band I loved was one and the same =]

[@AidenJohnson-pt7tl]

He said he's working on a new ablum, and hes got a few songs you can listen to (that dont have lyrics yet) on his Patrion

[@louise629]

[@meli_lemon_real]

wow hash tag relateable!!!!!!

[@spongeybunny]

ohhhh muy god neil cicirega OHHHHH M U god lemon demon

[@theJennicat]

he may not have releced another album since spirit phone but he has atleast released a single called funky town

[@FunkMcLovin]

Stay tuned for more. There are more songs I missed

[@inactivepleasegoaway]

i'm pretty sure funkytown was released on his patreon before needlejuice decided to rerelease it

[@camochiiwilldie]

7:13 this sound like it could be in splatoon omg

[@youareoneant]

i wanna make 1:02:12 into a reality should i tell the people who might control the music at the dance were gonna have in april to play lemon demon i already got my gym teacher and at least some people in my gym class into lemon demon by suggesting for him to play things like touch tone telephone, ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny and ancient aliens

[@clausluger4570]

11:18 What do you mean "so different" Neil always had the same voice since the start of his career (just like Eric Bloom)

[@bungusbajablast2877]

the transition was gradual but comparing ikyn to new way out, a track with similarly low vocals from just 3 years later, it's night and day

[@musicplaylists6718]

Sorry I'm struggling to focus on your voice with Eighth Wonder in the background can you say that again

[@mullacy5228]

The Scary Jokes another song project thing that is like Lemon Demon

[@thesheepjones9352]

I’m 15, I was in a long car ride drawing when cabinet man popped Into my recommended songs and started playing without my consent. That song is so amazing especially when you weren’t expecting to hear it and had never even heard of lemon demon. I went and listened to all of spirit phone and I adore it now, I wanted to find out more about him and I stumbled on your video, thank you for teaching me about this amazing man.

[@actually_nonexistent]

I do feel cabinet man is a universal experience as an intro into the world of modern lemon demon :] it was my first song as well

[@nickel-brothers]

​@@actually_nonexistentI'm not here to cause any trouble nor to piss off anyone I'm just here to state that I was actually introduced to the lemon demon because of modify

Hey, Neil is still working on Lemon Demon btw! He mentioned it in a recent 2021 stream, i think its from a smallbu studios stream (an indie game and animation duo that made later alligator and are also Neils neighbours or something), lemon demon stuff is coming! there was official merch made in 2021, but music is coming we just have to be patient!

[@FunkMcLovin]

I hope you're right Snakeolotl

[@JimDubs]

Smallbu are actually the same people that made Baman and piderman

⁠@@JimDubs no flipping way so one that actually knows about Baman and Piderman? Today is a good day

9:18 - "semi-lost media" actually, a guy found a copy of the album in their closet around 2010-ish - that's where the tracklist comes from! source: former lemon demon expert. everything else seems accurate though, great video

did he microwave it

[@gemtun2]

​@@manimaman i sure hope not

[@Morphimus]

Yes! Finally someone brings up I Am Become Christmas! I don't know if I could say it's my favorite of Neil's albums, since he has such an amazing discography and it would be impossible to choose just one, but it's up there and I never see anyone talking about it. So I'm glad you did talk about it in this deep dive.

[@Xaurii]

Aurora borealis is still my favourite lemon demon song, its so underappreciated. Sad is also... so good

[@klpliper]

cryptosanta my beloved

[@catsaregreat6314]

Honestly my first song I ever heard of lemon demons was “two trucks”, went huh, continued on with life. Came back to it two months later for fun and fell in fucking love. He’s just a goofy goober I love his music

[@evilpossessedcat9572]

He definitely has to be my favorite artist of all time, his songs can be about the stupidest things but still be an absolute bop

[@xoxo_milo_]

Mine was The Mysterious Ticking Noise, second was Amnesia was Her Name

[@PleaseLeaveMeAlonee]

I relate on every level, every level, however much that even is

[@silliest-astro]

@@xoxo_milo_exact same here, i found amnesia was her name through the cuptoast animation

[@nickel-brothers]

So technically my first exposure to Lemon demon was Potter Puppet Pals but my first time truly listening to his music was with modify because of Aimkid

[@Jeremy_CBCX]

This has got to be one of, if not, the greatest deep dives into Lemon Demon there has ever been. But I do have one thing that I would like to say, you forgot the track on the NeedleJuice Records album NeedleJustice which is a collaborative album from almost all of the NeedleJuice artists. Neil’s contribution to the album is a track called Funkytown. I’ll let you listen to it in your own time and personally, I really like it. It’s a sort of Spirit Phone and I Am Become Christmas (specifically the track Aurora Borealis)-like track where it has a hint of the paranormal when it comes to this mysterious town. I hope that you will give it a listen and have a great day!

[@Acatnamediforgor]

Rn lemon demon is the only thing that brings me joy so i decided to watch this and it was a masterpiece

dude i can’t even begin to express how much i love this video. it explains everything i love about lemon demon and neil’s music in general way better than i ever could. a few days ago i was wishing someone would make one of these types of videos about lemon demon and well, here it is!! i can tell you did a lot of research and i really respect that. you did an amazing job at explaining each album’s character and uniqueness and i’ll probably watch this a lot of times in the future 😁😁

EXACTLY.

[@inactivepleasegoaway]

as of about 8 hours ago, neil has posted some new snippets of lemon demon songs to his patreon and they're free to listen to so neil is still working on lemon demon 2023 official real not fake

[@FunkMcLovin]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

[@board-qu9iu]

I'm surprised you didn't mention Fine since it's actually a very popular hit song. Also Brodyquest was a huge thing and probably on par or more popular than Two Trucks Also Touch Tone Telephone would be his most popular song as of now

[@stickpal]

Fine became far more popular once TikTok came in the social media picture, but iam pretty sure it was also pretty popular back in 2006 as well

[@board-qu9iu]

@@stickpal It was the 2nd most popular on release with it only being eclipsed heavily by Ultimate Showdown. Anyway I do think some of the songs he choose were a bit odd since some songs like Geeks in Love are viewed as the best song in Damn Skippy (despite popularity) were not included

[@arlxquin]

@@board-qu9iu yeah i was rlly surprised by some of his choices. mentioning redesign your logo over touch-tone telephone or lifetime achievement award is a crime to me

[@board-qu9iu]

@@arlxquin yeah like all spirit phones songs are pretty good at least but touch tone telephone is definitely the most popular song Lemond Demon has going by Spotify hearing

[@nyloflake3100]

man, this guy was like all I used to listen to a few years back when I was still developing my taste in music. all it took was a single two trucks shitpost and before I knew it I was balls deep into neil's works and this video showed me there's still stuff I haven't heard by him yet. there's actually so many more mashup creators than you would think too, I was actually super surprised you mention Triple Q, they're one of my favorites. If anyone has ever heard of king for another day by the channel SiIvagunner it's like a cesspool of MOUTH-esque combinations of songs in the form of a music tournament and there's just so much of small creators making their own tournaments on soundcloud. Case in point, I would not be the man I am today without Neil and I this video was a pleasure to watch from start to finish.

[@mallsoftvaporwave4362]

i dont know if you know about him already, but i am jemboy is really good with mashups and shit

"there's likely not going to be another lemon demon album" i don't know if you heard about it but neil released a bunch of snippets of a new album on patreon a few months back. So there will definitely be more.

[@nekoAle]

Dude gave so much information and praise for Dinosaurchestra (which is awesome) but then talk little about view monster and went straight into spirit phone. The lack of credit for view monster is just sad. oh cool

did you know his sister emmy storyboarded on gravity falls

also I would argue triple Q was doing mashups before mouth sounds (unless your point here was "neil inspired the birthday girl project in particular") their bandcamp has an album released in 2011
