MATILDA - THE SMELL OF REBELLION - COVER

[@rade4598]

You capture her character perfectly. Anger with a pinch of insanity.

[@TheStupendium]

Thank you! :D She's so much fun to perform. XD

[@rade4598]

The Stupendium I would imagine so.

[@francesgiron.2760]

Who? Matilda?

[@zyrandomness197]

Franchescas G. Can I just ask? Who do you think sings this song. Here’s a hint: it’s not Matilda

Holy shit I accidentally clicked ‘sort by oldest’ and discovered this. Oh my god it’s PERFECT!!! This deserves so much more attention

[@thepmac42]

My daughter actually played the role of Matilda on broadway and we just watched this. Very well done!

[@TheStupendium]

Gosh, thanks so much to both of you! It's a dream of mine to play Trunchbull over here on the West End in London some day, I'm hoping to find out how to apply for an audition somewhere.

[@lewismacleod7099]

Your Trunchbull is on point. Which is disturbing...

[@theworstghost123]

Stupes never ceases to amaze, even digging through his old vinyl records yields us masterpieces.

[@samala2931]

This is a great cover! I would even say it's my favorite cover I've seen so far, you would be a fantastic Trunchbull.

[@TheStupendium]

Thank you so much! She's pretty much my dream role! :P

[@inksans5589]

this cover is still holds up well even compered to the other songs (or it could be that i love this song normally)

[@emyllia6666]

I knew you were a good person for this role, but I didn’t know you fit THIS perfectly for the role! Hope you got to live the dream, Stupes. 💜

If Matilda could be done in stop motion today, this is how i imagine Trunchbull to perform

[@Matthew_Lawless]

How has this gone undiscovered?!

[@nat3007]

I enjoyed the bubbling Anger which turned to happiness after imagining a world without children. Your musical covers are incredibly good.

[@tomclarke2338]

What a phenomenal performer you are!!! The expressions, the *tone* of your voice, I don't think I gave you credit for what an incredible singer you were till I found this! Everyone who's saying this deserves more attention is absolutely right, and anyone who would disagree needs a class of Phys Ed

[@TheStupendium]

Thank you so much! 🧡

[@ZsiZsiSzabad]

My favorite song from “Matilda”, excellent cover!

[@noahchapman4196]

Why aren’t these videos more popular honestly I Love your recent videos but I love these more

[@luisarenee9803]

I was reading the board behind you and I was like: “This is what math looks like to me.”

[@Dapro9000]

It is.

[@Lillysaurus12]

This is the one of the best covers of this song! Stupendium for Trunchbull! :D The people who disliked this are maggots.

[@visandartheunliving4913]

Ahhhh, when you find the beginnings of Stupendium and find songs you never heard, truly glorious! I really love your taste in music and truly enjoy your work. You have reached a great deal and i wish you the ver ybest in the future. Now get out of my sights, maggots!

[@wolfstrike7989]

I have the Matilda soundtrack.. this is amazing. Honestly, I'm not going to lie, the accent is perfect.

[@vanicdraws_2999]

annnd you still deserve more views and subscribers than you have. I would love you to cover a song from sweeny tood it would be awesome!

[@TheStupendium]

You know that is actually top of my list to shows to do a cover from! Not sure my Mrs Lovett is as strong as my Trunchbull though. :P

[@vanicdraws_2999]

I am entirely sure that it would be amazing if you where to do a song from Sweeny Todd like it would be fabulous plus you'd beat Jonathan Young to it.

[@CHANESGAMING]

Ive found it. Finally. After 4 years of watching you, learning all your songs on, singing, drums, and guitar, ive found it. Tje ultimate nerdcore cover. Btw love ya big guy continue the great work, love from oklahoma usa.

[@finleyforevermore]

I found this completely by accident but oh my goodness i love this!!! I've kinda gone back into my Matilda the Musical phase so seeing this was such an incredible surprise!!

[@SaramatheUnchained]

I am well aware that your covers aren’t exactly as popular as your originals but, do you ever plan to do song Covers again? Speaking of which, amazing job with this song, I’m practicing this song for an audition for Ms.Trunchbull and I’ve been looking for an alternative version from the original cast just so I have more then one option to go about it

[@corenhall6468]

Where did you get the backing track from? I'm choreographing a charity performance with this song in it but cannot find a legitimate karaoke version.

[@TheStupendium]

Hi there! It's from a website called 'Sing Broadway Now'. :)

[@Techniciancraft66]

This is a really good cover! Even though I've never seen the Musical version of Matilda, it's still a bop! I showed this to my cousin who actually was the lead role in her school's production of Matilda the Musical and she loved it! Please do more covers! Let's see if Stupes actually sees this.

[@MrMonarch212]

Glad to see this is recent!

[@interestingusername306]

So they did have a thing for presenting fem all along. Hell yeah, such a cool cover :)

[@PandaKeine]

this is one of my favorite movies ever, done by one of my favorite music creators :D

[@Soepsas]

I only just found this and I already need more musical covers!

[@Bepositive77]

The combination of some of my favorite childhood literature and my recent fascination with spoken word and rap gave me a great time.

[@SaramatheUnchained]

This doesn’t particularly pertain to your cover or you generally but I just wanna say this. I GOT THE PART! They used the Sing Broadway instrumental of this song for the audition, so practicing with this video was actually quite beneficial. While it could be argued that using the original song to practice as well requires thanks, using the style of pronunciation and the rolling of R’s that you did is what landed me the roll. So I come here and now to Thank You, Mr.Stupendium. Thank you dearly for this cover of a middle aged woman abusing children with Physical Education

[@TheStupendium]

Oh wow, congratulations! :D

[@ExplodingPankake33]

Definitely something worth subbing for.

[@nitaishneor6214]

Googled the lyrics for the few people still enjoying this masterpiece after so long This school of late has started reeking Quiet, maggots, when I'm speaking! Reeking with a most disturbing scent Only the finest nostrils smell it But I know it oh-too-well It is the odour of rebellion It's the bouquet of dissent! And you may bet your britches This headmistress Finds this foul odiferousness Wholly olfactorily insulting And so to stop the stench's spread I find a session of Phys Ed Sorts the merely rank from the revolting The smell of rebellion comes out in the sweat And Phys Ed will get you sweating And it won't be long before I smell the pong Of aiding and abetting! A bit of phys. Ed. Will tell us who Has a head full of rebellious thoughts Hold! Hold! Just like a rotten egg floats To the top of a bucket of water The smell of rebellion! The stench of revolt! The reek of insubordination! (I can't take it anymore! One, two, three, four0 The whiff of resistance! The pong of dissent! The funk of mutiny in action! (That's not right!) Before a weed becomes too big and greedy You really need to nip it in the bud Position two Before the worm starts to turn You must scrape off the dirt And rip it from the mud! The whiff of insurgence! The stench of intent! The reek of pre-pubescent protest! (But that's not right!) (One, two, three, four) The funk of defiance! The odour of coup! The waft of anarchy in progress! (I can't take it anymore!) Once we've exercised these demons They shall be too pooped for dreaming! Some double-time discipline Should stop the rot from setting in! All right, let's step it up. Double-time! One, two, three, four! Discipline Discipline For children who aren't listening For midgets who are fidgeting And whispering in history Their chattering and chittering Their nattering and twittering Is tempered with a smattering of Discipline We must begin insisting On rigidity and discipline Persistently resisting This anarchistic mischieving These minutes you are frittering On pandering and pitying While little ones like this They just want discipline The simpering and whimpering The dribbling and the spittling The Miss, I need a tissue Is an issue we can fix There is no mystery to mastering The art of classroom mistressing It's discipline, discipline, discipline! The smell of rebellion! The stench of revolt! The reek of pre-pubescent plotting! The whiff of resistance! The pong of dissent! The funk of moral fibre rotting! Imagine a world with no children Close your eyes and just dream Imagine, come on, try it The peace and the quiet A babbling stream Now imagine a woods with a cottage And inside that cottage we find A dwarf called Zeke, a carnival freak Who can fold paper hats with his mind And he says: Don't let them steal your horses! No! Don't let them throw them away! No! If you find your way through They'll be waiting for you Singing 'neigh neigh'! She's mad! Aha! And there, just like I said The stinking maggot rears his head Even the squittiest, piteous mess Can harbour seeds of stinkiness Have you ever seen anything more repellent? Have you ever smelled anything worse Than that smell of rebellion? The stench of revolt! The reek of insubordination! The whiff of resistance! The pong of dissent! Discipline, discipline No more whispering Children need discipline Cut out their whimpering If you're micheiving She'll sniff you out Without a doubt She's a snout in a million Discipline, discipline No more whispering Children need discipline Cut out their whimpering And I will not stop till you are squashed! Till this rebellion is quashed! Till glorious, sweaty discipline has washed This sickening scent Away!
