"a hot old male with an old hotmail" POETRY

[@cenortheast799]

This whole video is poetry by a true artìste

[@youtubeaccount5505]

It's true. Just ask Jeeves.

[@halbarroyzanty2931]

The fact that you actually started making this when you were 11 and waited till you were 94 years old and then sent this video back in time as your final wish before you died shows how dedicated you are to your craft. This deserves 50k likes

God 11-year-old Emu is CURSED I wasn't ready

[@greenpeppermint7518]

I think he is a creation from hell

[@curlywurlyloz]

This was the first video of his I saw and I genuinely thought that's just what he looked like

[@Real28]

Cursed, blursed and any other mashup of those words. I need eye bleach.

[@amaarambike731]

The world wasn’t ready

[@blaster1185]

Hoe was it done?

[@Red-yo8en]

the algorithm is a complete mystery sometimes. i can't imagine why you haven't been picked up by now; semi regular uploads, rad music, visually interesting videos, funny and clever lyrics- you even have a great viewer engagement rate, as far as i can tell i hope you aren't discouraged by the obscurity, because as far as i'm concerned your being this obscure is an absolute anomaly. what a legend

[@RedMeansRecording]

I've been thinking the same thing. It's baffling

[@wellthen.......9384]

It's only been an hour lol

[@HonestyJZ]

@@wellthen.......9384 I think they mean Jazz Emu's channel, not this specific video.

[@JazzEmu]

I do this for the thrill of expression, and for the joy of people like yourself connecting with it. Numbers are just numbers, all eventually turns to dust. Music is forever! Have a nice Tuesday.

[@autofrenzy2511]

The visual work on this one is incredible

[@laurenaspreyart]

“Technology rushes past us like a blink in the eye of a world that’s looking too far forward to see the now” That’s gotta be my favourite line

[@deepfriedmitten]

lol i love how generous you were to yourself with the old man filter

[@Makowako_]

It’s great how current emu sings in a high pitched voice, and all the very low vocals are strong 11 year old him

[@thisorthat7746]

the fact emu actually went to space for this is mind-blowing. the sheer dedication.

[@oatmilkpeek1291]

did he tho?

[@jayharrison358]

This is both an incredibly well observed homage to the cultural phenomenon that was MSN messenger and also a brilliantly meta funk odyssey for all/the ages. Much love to you Jazz Emu.

[@Soulessblur]

sk8rboi93 here. Unfortunately, groovychick95 tragically died earlier this year. She was run over by a car while grabbing some cheeseburgers for the grandkids. The guy driving said it wasn't his fault, it was the teenage boy from the year 2345 who made him do it, he seemed kind of crazy. But, in his defense, the accident wouldn't have happened if she had just used the zebra crossing instead of crossing on the blind corner part.

[@KraylusGames]

This man is a never-ending all-you-can-eat buffet of delicious content. HOW HAVE YOU NOT GONE VIRAL YET???

It's hard not to look in awe when seeing the earth from outer space, especially while it's being orbited by the MSN-1701-D

[@DouglasWatt]

I always love your music, but Allen deserves an award for the editing. This is amazing.

[@Tokyoriot36]

The heroes of VALUE SELECT have sent me to a new realm of funk and fun…praise be to JazzEmu!

[@vodago]

Yes brother! Praise be to the FUNKIEST POP MEN of the INTERNET!

[@fifzeppelin]

I'm only just now appreciating the sheer genius of the line "And here I am, 90 years old. Just a hot, old male with an old hotmail."

[@Cerise4697]

Everyone's talking about the ending and the music video but the melody of the "chorus" of this song has been squatting in my brain for weeks now. So smooth and catchy, combined with his clear voice it's like an oil massage for my brain. I love this so goddamn much.

[@BrettWyrick]

3:20 is an incredible breakdown that just goes too hard for it's own good. Absolutely amazing music used for a humorous song...that's a love language of mine.

[@jonzulanas]

If this magnum opus of a theme had been sent back to MSN in the early 2000s, it never would have been discontinued. It's MAGNIFICENT.

[@amicuscuriae]

At last, MSN's true Messenger has arrived.

[@eelexa]

God I miss MSN. Setting status to display what you're listening to, logging off and logging on again to slyly tell someone you're online, chatting all night. Those were the days. This one is epic, Emu.

[@mbrunnme]

That EWI solo was DURTY. Also, don't think I didn't notice your 3:4 - 21:9 switch. You spoil us with these works of art.

[@gguioa]

I'm absolutely blown away by this one jesus christ

[@xXRubella666Xx]

This is one of my fave songs of yours and I think the monologue, sax solo and outro are all beautiful. What a lovely surprise to see there’s now a video! And a bloody good one too! You’ve outdone yourself, Henderson

[@vodago]

The last part consistently gives me chills. Phenomenal work my friend.

[@RennsReviews]

This was absolutely amazing!

[@crazikmoon1608]

Yeah boy

[@johng7048]

Just saw Emu perform this live and it was beautiful. Everything I ever wanted in an MSN Messenger send up.

[@thornels]

"Just a hot, old male with an old hotmail" is severely underrated

[@manu_bdl9333]

When I started being "old" enough to develop my own musical taste and also as I started to understand english lyrics more and more as a kid I ended up quite disappointed and annoyed to find out that like 90% songs are about love and sex and such subjects. Ngl I think my past self would have been rejoiced to find out that you exist, making catchy music talking about whatever you want, because why the hecc couldn't music be that way (and my current self too is really happy to have discovered you ofc!)

[@anna-fleurfarnsworth104]

this song takes me on such a journey every time!!!! never gonna get tired of the end

[@skeletonrobot5255]

Man I absolutely ADORE that synth bass that kicks in at the 2min mark. The funk is just too stronk

[@WesJFin]

Nostalgic, present, but also future funk opera that tells a story I emotionally connect to. Fuck this is so good.

[@flakes6992]

I wasn't ready for this visual experience.

[@kepstin]

Damn, that drop at 3:14 hits me with a brick of nostalgia every time.

[@paulrowold8402]

Same for me and I don't even know why.

[@microm4n]

3 rewatches in and im still baffled by how good this is!

[@hugoleonardoamaral586]

That was surprisingly beautiful and deep. It brought back memories from people I messeged with for years, but one day we just got on our separate ways. Sometimes, rarely of course, I wonder where they are now. Thanks for the great music. You're a wonderful talent that deserve all the praise you can get.

[@davidcleckley]

I couldn't have found this video with under 100k views and this channel with under 100k subscribers? I'm going to do my part to correct that. Subscribed for life

[@Popbot]

I just happened to have Ableton open while listening to this and accidentally stumbled upon the greatest call and response of all time during that last solo section and nobody was there to hear it. Probably better that way.

[@Reiginblast]

Holy shit, that last part, love it!

[@irithindyr]

Underrated masterpiece Edit, 3:22 is a glorious melody that transcends all! Great job Mr. Emu :D

[@MegaDonutsLord]

Can't wait for the great MSN Messenger return of 2043.

[@Spamhard]

As someone who lost a long term online friend when AIM went down all those many years ago, this really hit different. Rest in Cyberspace, Aubrey, where ever you may be in life.

[@warbearin]

This managed to capture the MSN days in a classic Lonely Island vibe. Very well done. MSN was the good ol´days. I miss the MSN games.

[@EndingTheStory]

Your videos always make my day. I hope you get the attention you deserve! Hunter Allen killed the visuals & Baby Jazz Emu was hilarious. RIP MSN

[@aelexe858]

The raw emotion delivered in the line "But I'm still waiting here. Waiting, on the MSN Messenger." really speaks to the 83 years of anguish you suffered through.

[@inmamartinezspeaker]

I'm obsessed with this song. Saw Jazz Emu last night at Soho Theatre and blew my mind.

[@marvelouscg4423]

Most people nowadays know what MSN messenger is because they looked it up after being told they didn't know what it is.

This made me feel things. Deeply.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Sadly I just threw out my monitor that's almost the same as the one in this video. Had it for 15 straight years, mostly as my second monitor. Typed many an MSN message to girls from school I didn't even know on that thing. They basically all went like 1:20 but with slightly less abbreviation.

[@Sqwidiot]

I have no idea what emotion this is making me feel

[@ohifonlyx33]

This song is what love feels like... I reckon.

[@britneypennington8502]

The level of excellence behind the production of this video is off the charts! And it's all for a song about MSN messenger 😂😂😂 not even AIM 🤣
