Guess the Song from the Genius Lyric Annotation

[@iampureevil]

Listening to Graydon sing American pie was one of the most emotionally complex moments of my life

[@austinwanner134]

Right, wish it was a solo

[@yotamnahir8962]

I actually can't fathom how enraptured I was

[@clloydBOOL]

Absolutely gave me chills

[@xGRF1]

You should've said at the end I did not crash a plane on the day that music died

[@lanemorrison5138]

I honestly cried

[@kh0357]

graydon singing american pie was unexpected but welcome lowkey killed it too

[@yofuman]

One thing that always makes me laugh is him singing that do beautifully with the quote juxtaposed right next to them

[@Kittenlebron]

I really hope dignan and Graydon squash their beef. I feel like they would have really good chemistry together!

[@AlectriXSharpness]

I agree!

[@mrkoolaidism]

Sadly I don't think it will happen, pretty sure we will just never get them in a video together ):

[@itsbreezy006]

haven’t been in the loop recently can someone explain it to me?

[@shikashii]

@@itsbreezy006 in the "guess the style of rap from quadeca" vid, graydon made a joke about how he doesnt want to be called graydon and instead wants to be called dignan. He was referred to as dignan for the rest of the episode Since then, dignan makes appearances in the videos and he is "completely different from graydon"

[@yungbrev]

unfortunately it’s not a beef, they can’t be in the same state for legal reasons :(

[@lyleugleman9799]

graydon really put his whole grussy into that american pie

[@nickortiz215]

Graydon’s rendition of American Pie brought me to tears

[@zackswitch9656]

I came

@Zach Switch me too

[@carterlee4602]

I honestly did tear up a bit too

The lyric will be smthn like "i pull up to the studio in a wraith" and genius annotators will be like "Symere used this bar to imply that he has enough money to casually drive such an expensive sports car, a Rolls-Royce Wraith, to a regular work environment, like a recording studio."

[@boejudden9011]

Which is really helpful for English language learners 👍🏾

[@kh0357]

why bring uzi into this

[@EricA-sh5nw]

I love how graydon went impromptou on some of the american pie lyrics cuz he didnt fully remember it all lmaoo

[@milesrazek6025]

That Osama three-and-d bit is top tier improv from Graydon

[@Jacob-jv2cj]

Had me hyperventilating 💀💀

[@jcg_53199]

Graydon saying “there’s really like one song this can go on,” then guessing American Pie, and then singing (a rendition of) American Pie, was fire & completely portrayed why I love this channel 😂 plus, he was 100% correct. Don McClean activated god mode when he wrote that song

[@AntonyFantano]

I saw Riley at Trader Joe’s today and I ran up to him but before I could say anything he whipped his head around, his eyes turned black and he started reciting my full legal name and my SSN. His eyes turned back to normal and then he got all embarrassed and then gave me a bag of old crumbled up 20s and he ran away. Pretty cool guy

[@zackswitch9656]

Did you see the shoes he had on?

[@Emma-kw8uv]

Are you from New Jersey?

[@richmike3442]

these 2 rascals singing american pie while lucki over there chillin like “we get high, we get fat, huh” fucking genius

[@dariofkxv6829]

triple entendre

[@randomdudewithdog]

That lucki quote is from genius

[@p5yk4president]

Still yet to see dignan, graydon, riley and grant all in the same room. Starts to make me think if grant is even real

[@nelworthy]

Pretty sure grant is just a voice and has no body , like god in some movies!

[@turdferguson9452]

Nothing better than going to Ruth’s Chris, ordering a couple of sirloins with the guys, waiting until the waiters head back to the kitchen, and just sloppin ‘em up!!!!

[@calebhatcher5789]

Oh and the tight pants, white shirts, slicked back hair. Dangerous night crew was wild back when I USED to be a piece of shit

[@frankwest8869]

I did that too back when I used to be a piece of shit. Oh how I miss it. I was a piece of shit tho

[@turdferguson9452]

They’d say “no sloppy steaks” but they couldn’t stop you from ordering a steak and a glass of water

[@madv6715]

Attaboy Turd

[@gavinstone9983]

I haven’t cried since 1976 when I found my then wife, having an affair with the local garbage man in our bathroom. But after hearing Graydon sing “American Pie” so beautifully, the floodworks were finally opened after 46 years. The most emotionally captivating, singing and pure talent I have ever had the luck to witness in my entire life. Thank you Graydon. Thank you.

[@akex519]

my mom worked for ruth’s chris for a while and ik graydon was joking but that explanation for the name is actually right. some dude named chris started the business so he called it “chris steak house”, and then some woman named ruth bought it from him and just slapped her name on there so now it’s RUTH’S chris steak house

[@staciemohler4624]

That's very funny

[@codybasore2747]

I was just going to type this out, but searched to see if someone else had already commented. this story is such a simple and hilarious explanation for the odd name lol.

[@Floppyseal11]

Crazy how they went to the genius set to record this

[@katiee4396]

Riley smiling when his bestie Graydon was singing is so sweet and adorable

[@governorsdead5341]

I have an idea for you guys: Guess the Song from the Song

[@vjmcgovern]

I second this

[@Ellwoo]

I third this

[@cjwakeup4839]

Sometimes I watch these videos with my girlfriend, but not enough that she knows all your little inside jokes and bits. Could you guys please start a video with “and you, Kalea from Waynesboro, Pennsylvania”

[@xXChaoticRavenXx]

They only shout out their patreons

[@dunkarooni4135]

3:45 Is that the joke? That you make a Tim Robinson reference and make me love you guys even more? What's next? Reveal more things that we have in common? Make me leave my wife and kid and come ask for both of your guy's hands in marriage because I can't live another moment without you? Is that the joke? Me ruining my marriage? You got me guys. You really got me.

[@HIVEMINDTV]

is that the joke? that i farted and no one barfed?

[@trexthriving]

“putting context behind bars” is a really good line

[@noahleveille366]

I can’t believe Graydon beat Dignan to death outside a Wendy’s shits fucked up dude

[@donnie1725]

He's back (again)

[@refusingtoconform]

That Crazy Frog bit is a deep cut that deserves more love.

[@StonerHoops]

21:05 when you guys start singing, Lucki looks so done with your shit lmaoo

[@nailahday5587]

Graydon sang American pie in this video, and it was beautiful 🙂☺️

[@615ccchc]

one of your best video ideas yet, keep it up guys. i was not involved in the 1998 hostile invasion of the hot pocket factory in the outskirts of springfield, illinois

[@forthefrogs]

no way!! i found hivemind through nick and ive loved their videos ever since. neat to see you guys interacting again! content kings

[@Shrud.mp3]

5:51 missed the perfect chance to say he's on the Jets

[@ozkorps]

Best Hivemind in months. Graydon threatened my life in a Geico pop-up near the Cloud Gate statue in downtown Chicago exactly 40 minutes ago.

[@gulgupuctu7373]

I fucking love this channel. your videos truly bring me joy. I wasn’t responsible for the massacre that happened in Massachusetts on the 27th of April of 1972.

[@mei-bd3sp]

I need annotations for Riley's jokes

[@parkercarron4523]

Damnnnn the Tim Robinson shout out let’s goooo

[@tylerdoesstuff6834]

Loved the Stetson collection annotation on hivemind genius yesterday, so cool seeing context behind the true stories you guys tell in the videos Also, Graydon's American Pie cover was unironicly good, we need a full version, respect to Riley and Grant for not laughing during it and letting him just sing.

[@turban196]

legendary hivemind moment at 21:16 when the boys harmonise with each other

[@Mr.Wednesday-bu2oh]

“I got frosted weed” will never not be hilarious

[@vitinhoramos4544]

im manually translating a bunch of financial documents and this cheered me up, thanks guys. will evade my taxes rn

[@squeezeslemons]

your guys banter is legit top notch

[@JakeRanney]

That's actually why it's called Ruth's Chris. There was a steakhouse called Chris Steak House and a woman named Ruth bought it and called it Ruth's Chris Steak House. This sounds made up but it's 100% true.

[@talkingdeads]

what the fuck man graydon absolutely KILLED with that american pie rendition

[@l1lunc1v1l]

Been coming out with insanely fun and original content recently. Big Propsssss

[@talkingdeads]

i come back to this video a lot only to listen to Graydon singing American Pie. what a treasure

[@nathanmohr4259]

I honestly still don't know how HIVEMIND is still underground. I think they've got all the things needed to go big, gotta be coming up soon.

love that Strudel shout out. I’m sure he would appreciate that 🙏🏼 rip

Super hype for the nick collab, hoping the live episode will be recorded or they do some extra content together

[@itmealice]

Loved the Stetson collection annotation on hivemind genius yesterday, so cool seeing context behind the true stories you guys tell in the videos! I hope you do more of these and give us some more behind-the-scenes insight into your bars.

[@forthefrogs]

"maybe he's the host of a dinner party" i love how wholesome this bit became :')

[@harrisonkaltenbach7325]

You were spot on with the comparison. I've always thought of Bin Laden as a very similar player to Reggie Bullock. I think he will compliment Chris Paul and Devin Booker quite nicely in the Phoenix backcourt

[@uKyeR]

I wish I had friends as involved in music as you guys, hard living in a small rural town in Australia :( I envy you guys, love the content

[@dabiskitt]

These two are like a gen Z Rhett and Link

[@owencharles6636]

Grant really progressed through this episode in a way I’ve never experienced before

[@ucopiedyibo1959]

I didn’t come up with this idea but guess the rapper from the criminal record would be amazing.

[@coletucker787]

Calling osama bin ladan “a kinda better reggie bullock” is one of the funniest things to have happened

[@austinwanner134]

I want to reiterate what others are saying. Hearing them both sing American Pie was one of the moments of my life.

[@ajpAC423]

I love that Nick is gonna be at the show!! Can't wait to watch to vid for the live event! Wish I could be there.

[@kingtesttube4996]

I have never been more ashamed to not know the lyrics to American Pie

Wow quickly quickly and you guys doing a live show in the same night, is something I didn't know I needed but that would have been insane.

[@jamesk5619]

This video made my complex emotions come out for the first time while Graydon was singing American pie and i have finally realized my purpose in life and i want to fulfill my empty life from now on forward, thank you Graydon!!!

[@bly_tbf]

Saw dignan outside my local sherwin williams drinking some off white eggshell with a bendy straw (a great choice of beverage). He told me he actually does poetry on the side. I did not know that!!

[@Supo_]

the day the music died i did as well. thank you graydon I truly love you

[@SlowBrakes]

06:18 Graydon missed an opportunity to say he got '9 for 11 from deep' instead of '6 for 8 from deep'

[@calmarsden8692]

The cheerio brand description was the best part of this

[@awesomefrog.]

Yeat says "bitch i blew up like osama" on a completely different song. Truly inspiring lyricism

[@20quindex10]

Need a full album of Graydon covering classics

[@whoismorn2]

This is the best birthday present!

[@sleepyceleste188]

graydon killed that american pie bit, similarly to how in 2006 i brutally murdered that american family in garrett county maryland and buried their bodies in the appalachian mountains, only to be caught by a patrolling officer with the shovel in my hand; that officer was digan. he let me off on a warning, i owe that guy everything.

I haven’t heard American pie in a minute but wow Graydon killed it, murdered it even. Scratched my American pie itch.

[@rileyschmedeman652]

“slow ride” by Froghat gotta be the most underrated joke

The alternate universe Graydon resides in where calling Riley ugly classifies as "comedy"

Do this on Lalala's page, Y2K and BBNO$ actually annotated it themselves, and it basically is just them giving their fans financial advice its so fucking funny.

those hands are magic

[@peterbentin1395]

I used to love Graydon’s ponytails until Riley stole them from him, surprised he still hasn’t noticed. Ben Roethlisberger, also known as Big Ben, is a giant clock tower at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, England.
