“When you get to that level of fitness, even very serious food poisoning can’t keep you down” Oh God - so funny. Justin Hawkins x

[@joefilipelli3867]

The funniest thing about this video is the actual song is complete and utter garbage and then you have Justin, who is an actual living and breathing musician with talent for days transcribing this horrendous song on an acoustic guitar and actually making it sound decent 🤣 🤣 well done my friend, keep on rocking(in the free world)....

[@PrivateSi]

Justin did not transcribe this as he has no need to because of his excellent finger to ear coordination. Decent instrumentalists can hear a tune and work in out in minutes, virtuosos in REAL-TIME with a 1 second delay. Credit where credit's due.

[@christopherreynolds9254]

The moral of this song ultimately is ‘never pull a piece out on your coach’

[@jc.1191]

There's just no rock male singer that sings a clean soprano out there like Justin. One of a kind. And the rest of the range is incredible of course. One ingredient of why I love the darkness. Justin is always in his element as an entertainer, at a concert or KZbin.

[@SuziQ.]

Wolf can. Listen to “Resolve”. His voice is beautiful and clean. He’s awesome and funny live.

[@averagerow1029]

This was one of the funniest "Be Nice" videos I've seen in a long time - love your ability to just look past the fact the song is completely mad, but then turn it into a small ballad! Amazing and yes I agree, that passing chord is lovely!

Holy shit dude, I've had a great day, but you still managed to make it better. I love you.

It was actually his mother, the goddess Thetis who held Achilles heel when dipping him, - because she feared he might drown. Which later became his downfall, as we all know. Deep psychological stuff hidden in there. Just as in your as usual excellent musical and sociocultural analysis of this forgotten gem.

This is one of the funniest videos you have ever made, maybe I'm just in the mood. I also do some weight training so it is extra hilarious to me; I ain't swole, though. The ad libbing was primo and alarmed my coworkers with my guffaws. Noice!💪

Wonderful video, brought me joy! ^_^ Fun facts: It was the River Styx, one of the rivers of the Underworld that froms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld (also, a Goddess). Achilles was dipped in it by his mother, except for his heel. Any oath sworn by the Styx is *the* most binding oath.

[@robinmayenfels9675]

I had to quit watching the video to hit the gym…I’m distressingly under-swolled 💪😂. Awesome stuff Justin!

[@toon_8552]

Acoustic bit was absolutely class!

[@dericksingleton4034]

Sad that Rich Piana is no longer with us. He was open and honest about his steroid use and was well aware that he was pushing the limits with how much he was taking and how big he was getting. Today's bodybuilders are using way too much and are getting so big that it is not only deadly but not aesthetically pleasing either. I admired Piana's honesty about his steroid usage because it really irks me when I see blown up bodybuilders endorse protein powders and give kids a false hope of achieving the same body without drugs. Sorry for the long ass post. Awesome channel Justin! Keep up the great work and rock on!

[@SuziQ.]

Why would kids (or anyone who isn’t a professional competitive bodybuilder) want to look “swole”? It’s not attractive looking.

[@PUREKULTliveshows]

Priceless😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks Justin! The accoustic version is brilliant❤️

A smelting cave....sword...plains of mordor..... JHawkins kills it in this video as always. That acoustic interlude and lyrics you toss in around 11:00 minutes- I will be watching out for it on the next Darkness album, better make sure you give the right songwriting credits.

The 'in memory of coach' bit is referring to the bodybuilder Rich Patina, who played coach. He's dead now, he must have died shortly after they shot this video

[@davekennedy6315]

Thank you, I thought that was Piana (the bodybuilder covered in tattoos) but didn't know for sure. I am back bodybuilding again myself at 48 after going through a bad patch, so have been binge watching various bodybuilding KZbinrs (2 of which have unfortunately died.

The big guy in the video, Rich Piana, died from drug related causes. His heart and liver were twice the size of an average adult male. The price of getting swoll.

[@heterodoxic]

PED abuse is no joke, for sure.

[@samholdsworth420]

Tragic? Heh

[@K4ZUY4MISHM4]

Yeah, dude had chronic body dysmorphia and bigorexia. Before his death he ran a cycle, publicised on KZbin called Bigger by the Day, documenting all of the gear he was using. People said it was absurd, particularly at his age. He had PMMA injected into his arms, likely used a lot of synthol as well. He was a decent guy, and in one of his videos he detailed how his father told him to do whatever it takes to win his first bodybuilding show, giving him some cash which he went across to Tijuana with to buy whatever steroids he could get his hands on. Bodybuilding often attracts people with deep rooted insecurities and self esteem issues and the industry preys on them - it’s perverse

[@2secondslater]

So his heart and liver got swole?

[@SuziQ.]

@@K4ZUY4MISHM4 , I noticed that when I was a fitness trainer. Most of the “swole” dudes were on `roids. There’s almost nothing healthy about the fitness industry, which is why I left it. This “song” just sucks. I don’t know how Justin can do these without laughing.
