Aesop Rock - Jazz Hands or Dorks

[@clauslarsen8971]

I'd recommend watching the on stage version of this aswell, at least for your own viewing. It's a completely different tone because it's not super produced like this one. Also, if you haven't yet, you should check out KZ Tandinga, starting with her performance of Adele - Rolling in the deep from The Singer. She has a handful of performances in that show all worth a listen, but Rolling in the Deeper, Royals and See you again might be better suited for this channel :) Keep up the amazing work.

I'd love to see you react to the Chinese singer Hua Chenyu, you'd need to get the subtitled versions, but his songs Qi Tian (from Singer 2018) and Bullfight (a version of the Music Video is available subtitled) ... would really love to see what you make of his songs / lyrics

Fun fact: on tour, Bo actually unknowingly performed this while Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were in the crowd

[@cyclonicdarklen601]

Just about to comment this 😂

[@snack_bar2474]

I never knew that, and that is PERFECT.

[@eliwoodthegoothoonter538]

It's worth noting Bieber supposedly thought it was hilarious

[@seryal]

source?

[@seryal]

@@snack_bar2474 believe everything you read without asking for a source?

[@marisamish]

Still shocked you haven’t broke down Words Words Words by Bo Burnham yet! It’s a MUST!

[@ghostofpunishment]

Yes ! Been wanting this for so long, other reactors miss so much, Knox will catch everything

[@AndwiguZ]

Yes! Both that and Im bo yo

[@Iamone1111]

Also Oh Bo those 3 are his best songs imo

[@goonerjhh]

He has but on patreon sadly it isn't patreon exclusive last time I checked I mean I get it get that money but like , sadly for non patreon subscribers

[@TURFCC]

As a hip-hop head, he had bar after bar on that track 🔥🔥🔥

[@kellyg2635]

to this day i think that "but we'll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money" is one of the most apt and universally applicable lyrics ive ever heard like it's just such a good way to phrase the way the whole world works

[@kyraaeyels]

"That's how iiit ...workkssss" -Socko

[@mackadam5894]

This is one song of his where I actually enjoy the LIVE performance more than the music video. When he gets the crowd to start "repeating stuff"... too good.

[@dyciefisk2535]

And the quick Nazi salute to drive the point home.

[@Frostbite08]

The live version is even darker than this video. He gets the audience chanting "repeat stuff", then starts doing the Nazi salute and says "That's how the Holocaust started." Which is sadly true.

[@Charsept]

This one deserved a breakdown 👌 "We know it's not right. We know it's not funny, but we'll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money." Ladies and gentlemen, the marketing machine.

[@vh8542]

And id argue could be applied to multiple industries. A lot are based off of addiction, manipulation, and tactics solely designed so you hand over as much money as possible.

[@SirChanXD]

He already did the Breakdown, it's obvious that he was breaking it down because pausing quite a bit throughout the video

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

the subliminal messages were good though

[@ghostofpunishment]

Dude, please do words, words, words from Bo. I've always wanted your specific breakdown of that one. Only you can catch all the bars

[@nightmare62089]

If you're going to do more of Bo, you should definitely do "Art is Dead", "Left Brain, Right Brain" and "From the Perspective of God" Also, please watch his full shows. Even if it's just on your own at home without us and the cameras. As always, much love to you and yours Knox.

[@KiyotaiTalks]

from the perspective of god is hard af

[@maartenbeute6742]

also the song sad, is really good

[@AChickandaDuck]

From the Perspective of God is the one that made me a Bo fan for life. As a secular humanist it exactly describes my worldview

[@AChickandaDuck]

@@maartenbeute6742 “I saw a woman at her daughter’s funeral: ha ha ha! Classic 👏 comedy 👏 “ 🤣

[@squall7734]

... Gotta admit.... Was *NOT* expecting to hear you recite part of Barbie Girl by Aqua... But it is literally a perfect example because I STILL remember that song after damn near 3 decades 😂

[@ninja_tony]

Seriously, I remember every word too, and I HATED it as a kid lol. But I could sing every single line to this day thanks to hearing it constantly when it came out.

[@squall7734]

@@ninja_tony Same here 💀🤣

[@mordirit8727]

There's a good argument to be made for the live version of this song but honestly, for me, nothing beats the moment people realize Bo is breaking into the young fan's home and eating her literal heart

[@jessielefey]

The callout on the suburban moms also gets lost in the live version.

[@snakelite61]

Those were the opening lines of Eliot's Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.

[@Iamone1111]

I like how you eluded to Axis of Awesome who did a bit called 4 chords song and they basically played the same 4 chords with dozens of songs interchanged during it

[@Natesterizer]

came here to say this

[@SayianPrince586]

The live version of this song is amazing as well.

[@TheSwedishDoc]

please do ''The Chicken'' by Bo Burnham next. that's a song I REALLY want your reaction to. maybe not a song you laugh at, but one that makes you think, and feel things

[@AChickandaDuck]

I have yet to listen to that song without crying. About a chicken crossing the road. The genius of Bo!

[@2JOfficial]

It annoys the hell out of me when people react to this video clip version instead of the stage performance version which is mathematically exactly 120842 times better

[@OSRS_Emperor]

The is only one part in stage performance that set it apart, but the music video is better imo

[@ebreshea1337]

@@OSRS_Emperor satan you taste so gooooooood (that's a bill hicks reference btw)

[@TryPuttingItInRice]

Great reaction, Knox. You don't have to make a reaction to this, but I'd recommend watching his comedy specials. This song "Repeat Stuff" is apart of "What." and it's pretty great performed live. I'd also recommend "Words, Words, Words" cause it's a hilarious rap type song.

[@brendaausman2554]

Glad to see more Bo Burnham. Could you think about doing his country song soon pls?

[@FineAndAndy]

We Think We Know You would be a good follow-up reaction to this. Repeat Stuff is all about the exploitation/manipulation that happens from (certain) content creators; whereas We Think We Know You addresses some of the toxicity that consumers give back to artists.

[@benjamindonahue9434]

Pretty sure at least once in just about every one of your videos I find myself thinking "HOW TF DO YOU KNOW THAT" 😆. Hope you keep going with Bo. Not sure how much you've done so far so recommend All Eyes On Me, That Funny Feeling, and Chicken

[@ebreshea1337]

He has done all eyes on me already, go check it out :)

[@Choryrth]

the "spread it like the plauge" bar is also a double, "spread it", as in their legs, and "spread it", as in share the song everywhere. it infects everyone.

[@livfrgemann5358]

I love the demonic voice - to me it references the conspiracy theory that all celebrities are reptile lizard aliens who have come to take over the world, and I just love that extra layer in Bo’s humour !!!

[@livfrgemann5358]

Also, a part of that conspiracy theory is that it’s connected to illuminati and that the only way to tell the ‘lizard people’ apart from real humans is by looking at their eyes 👀 I bet he added all that on purpose to make it even more ridiculous

[@JonahNelson7]

I don't think it's necessarily referencing a weird conspiracy theory, it's just saying the whole industry is fundamentally evil in that it's exploiting people's natural feelings for money. The satanism on display is an illustration of this evil

[@Ca11signNob13]

Definitely take a look at Sabaton. To Hell and Back Dreadnought Stormtroopers Great War Shirioyama All are great choices.

[@senne1804]

'Bismarck', 'Defence of Moscow' and 'Attack of the Dead Men' are also great

[@killuazoldyck7442]

Yes!

[@jamesfishmusic]

My dude! I NEED your breakdown on "That Funny Feeling" by Bo

[@mariabrechin]

would love to see you do bo’s ‘words words words’ and ‘rant’ !!

[@matthewschreiber2421]

Since we're here. Jon Lajoie's Pop song. Man any of his stuff would be cool.

[@Vamroc]

I have an eye for detail and I'm pretty sure that's the house Nancy from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" lived in 🤣, which is a perfect metaphor to describe the message Bo is sending

[@diamondninja1027]

It is. It was also Bo’s house while filming this.

[@SiLenTBeaMzZ]

Gotta like before the watch much love man. We dig your long reactions around here

[@TheVarulfen]

Got to see the live version of this. No spoilers but it has its own character. Definitely.

[@ImJamieX]

4:18 this part really reminds me of the song "Games by 'Tessa Violet & lovelytheband'"

[@TacoMental]

Dude so glad to see Bo on here. He's so interesting to me. He does comedy, music, and film. He's entertaining but not an entertainer. He's a true artist. I think the modern world has been filled with entertainers and as such they crowd out the artists. I feel the exact same way about Ren and Harry Mack. There is a through line that connects these stand outs that has people outside their respective "genres" that truly follow them.

[@AllBetsOnJames]

the 4 chords comment almost makes it seem like the next reaction should be 4 Chord Song from Axis of Awesome where they probably show how about 50 top hits are all the same 4 chords

[@codemanthe2nd343]

People are giving great suggestions for other Bo songs. I'd also put in "Eff" I've always logved that o e

[@nateekis3982]

You can watch this video multiple times and catch new stuff every time. Hidden images and texts towards end after the piano part take forever to dissect and notice

[@Kinsky91]

the version of repeat stuff he did in the netflix special 'Bo Burnham: What' is pretty good, has a couple of differing parts to the music video.

[@unclefoot]

Dude! Every time you dip into the Bo Burnham universe it makes my day. Awesome breakdown as always. I feel like almost any of his songs would be an absolute blast to watch you dissect. But a couple that I really think you gotta see are: -Rant. (Not the Kanye Rant, just ‘rant.’) -Hell of a Ride -From Gods Perspective -How the World Works -Art is Dead -That Funny Feeling -The Chicken Also, unrelated but when you started singing ‘Barbie Girl’ it reminded me of the cover that Alex Terrible from Slaughter to Prevail did of it. The video is hilarious and AGGRESSIVELY Russian. Keep that Bo train rollin! Cheers

[@TheXXIJackpot]

Thank you for the reaction always. Axis of Awesome - 4 Four Chord Song next?

[@RonnieSportz]

I used to think Bo was just witty and crude.. But the dude is a genius and an incredibly talented artist…possibly the most talented we’ve ever seen. The way his mind works is fascinating

[@darthgambo1]

Skip thru a field naked with the bubble thing in your hand 🤣🤣 Nice Knox! 😂

[@TheKyfe]

The Perfect Woman is a good one. One of his most underrated songs is World on Fire.

[@ebreshea1337]

I could listen to World on Fire on loop for hours! ... I may have some issues.

[@TeppicTheAbysswalker]

I wouldn't dare to analyze world on fire tho. 2#deep4me

[@maisiewellington965]

I know so many people have commented this already but words words words! theres a lot of his old stuff id love to see you react to like oh bo and im bo yo

[@SuperiorPosterior]

I haven't seen anyone else mention this, so I'll do so: This may just be my own interpretation, but the chorus, "Repeat Stuff," not only describes what pop songs do, but also cultish rituals. There's always some nonsense that you have to repeat when performing a ritual in cults, and pop songs are just a watered down version of the experience.

[@AlphaSeagull]

I like the live version better: "Oh, hey Satan" *puts mic in mouth*

[@NicholeNewMoon]

Repeat stuff.....Rip-eat-stuff ❤️😈 like teen hearts.... Get it? Yeeeah, you got it.

[@Lou-xq9br]

🤣😅🤣 the finger you part made me choke on my coffee 😂😅😂

[@Osma777]

Honestly, this song always makes me so happy that my daughter never got into boy bands and Bieber-style singers. Her playlist tends to have stuff like Sk8er Boi and songs from The Stupendium.

[@damonjameson1369]

Just saying words words words got some bars you should check it out.

[@vattulaitti]

I think the breakdance transitioned into self deleted teen memorial scene and then he joked pulling a gun to his mouth and then we go back to the memorial scene.

[@thestank3]

"i love your eyes and their bluish brownish greenish color" was one of my favorite lines when i was younger.

[@WaylandEllison]

Pachelbel out there getting it since 1680.

[@lisamathews7250]

I love to see you doing more Bo and hoping you check out Art is Dead and From God's Perspective.

[@billyg898]

As a rapper, you gotta listen to "It's Bo, Yo"

[@saxykaren]

His Country Song is also great, similar parody kind of thing.

[@5foot2eyesofblue13]

Every time I watch a video from you it makes my day a little brighter. You're fun and so smart I love hearing your thoughts on some of my favorite songs.

[@rekrn12345]

So fun fact. Fingerprints are not unique. They do have repeating and limited patterns. The chances of you having the exact same finger prints is 1 in 64 trillion however most fingerprint matches only use partials which lowers the chances of repeat matches down to as low as 1 in 100k. The fact that there over 6 billion people on the planet means there could easily be over 60,000 other people that could match. That does not satisfy the beyond a reasonable doubt measure in American criminal justice and will probably be removed in the near future.

[@RavixAryss]

We NEED Art Is Dead by Bo!

[@vicomt]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm with you on "Barbie Girl". I have no idea why, it just tickles me.

[@julihouser7468]

A song that every now and then comes to my head that is worse than Barbie Girl is that Up and Down song, talk about repetition...yeeeez!😂

[@tinferbrains]

This was my first experience with bo - this song. i had no idea he had so much out until reddit led me to 'welcome to the internet' and i went down the rabbit hole and watched all the things.

[@pspence9569]

The emails I answered typing with my toes during covid. Tisk, tisk.

[@AD-to3bm]

It is a quote from T.S. Elliott's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

[@paladin181]

I love the live version of this song. It starts with a Jason Derulo adlib, and has a Hitler reference.

[@Ryyi23]

The sweetest love songs tend to be ones that were written for a specific person. Like some artists have written love songs about their spouses and it's so much deeper and you can hear just how much they really love their spouse.

[@seabass819]

Hey Knox, how about a reaction to starbombs best Zelda rap ever

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

Lexical repetition is one of the most _powerful_ tools in a songwriter’s arsenal… But it is not a substitute for thought, creativity, and good editing. Songwriting is a craft. These pop songs Bo dunks on make a mockery of those actually putting themselves out there like our own Knox Hill.

[@brrouleau]

Check out Pop Song by Jon Lajoie. Very much in the same vein.

[@charlierenwick3682]

The teenagers doing wierd little kid stuff is supposed to symbolise how corporate doesn’t know what teenagers really do

[@TheKyfe]

The live version with his... hijinks... with the microphone is hilarious.

[@jlerrickson]

Lovely reaction, very attentive! I wonder if you've seen Words, Words, Words yet: you'd have a field day with that one.

[@virus640]

As a lyricist, you should really do a break down of Words Words Words by Bo. It's so good!

[@JoshieMadhatt]

The 4 chords in question: root chord, 5th of the key, the minor chord and then the 3rd. So key of g it would be G, D, Em, C.

[@tjpowell234]

"Words words words" and "oh bo" and "white girls instagram"

Thank you for this Knox dont skip on oh bo by Bo Burnham

[@duffle881]

When you started singing Barbie girl I started laughing. While I was still in the military, I would blast that song going through the gate to get on base. You wouldn't be surprised at how many people looked at you like you're an idoit. But you would be surprised at how often the guy checking IDs would start laughing/dancing.

[@themandomerc652]

People hate on corporate owned bands/groups, but kpop still has some amazing tracks and kpop groups are manufactured by companies.

[@sharragamez1318]

If you like pop music parody take-downs, you might enjoy Pop 101 by Marianas Trench. It's written by Josh Ramsay who co-wrote Call Me Maybe. It's more about club music, not music aimed at tweens, but also a smart deconstruction of manufactured pop music.

Bo is a trip. His standups pretty funny

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

its been a long time but I only now realized the subliminal messages lol at the end

[@alisondayes3534]

A little surprised to not see any comments about the random text that appears throughout the video. It’s more obvious towards the end, but there’s definite subliminal message satire in there that no one ever catches on the first watch

[@UnknownHuman94]

This is my favorite Bo Burnham song

[@chrisallen3388]

Love to see you react to Tim Minchin, a huge influence for Bo. 'Prejudice' is a good start but you really cant go wrong with anything from him

[@wowguy1243]

didn't know tim was an influence for bo. but now it makes sense
