Thanks to Butser Ancient Farm, and the Concept Of Money. It has always make absolutely sense, forever.

[@JazzEmu]

Dearest nestlings, It sort of looks like there is a big juicy commercial budget and a chunky professional team producing these nowadays, does it not? But in fact, little has changed since our very first video, back in 2019. It is still just two people (Myself and Hunter) co-ordinating the whole thing. We've made it our mission to always operate at the extremities of our budgets, to keep pushing the quality of our out-puttings to Higher Ground. And thanks to donations on Patreon, we're now lucky enough to be able to hire some better equipment, and pay some talented friends to act, and help with lighting, and not hitting ancient breeds of livestock with our drone. If you're enjoying watching us Make For The Sake Of It, and would also like to see some bonus Behind The Scenes, breakdowns etc, do please consider chucking some farthings at our Patreon: www.patreon.com/thejazzemu Love you all compusculently. JE xxx

"Recycled toboggans!" is a combination of words I never could have expected to hear in a song on this platform. Or anywhere short of a toboggan-recycling facility.

[@RuthBhmand]

So you hear the phrase every other day, yes? I mean, the Toboggan R’cyclers ™️ are basically taking over the city centres!!

[@malElephant]

The second I heard 'Recycled toboggans,' I knew that it would become one of those tiny random phrases that you can't help but sing out loud at questionable intervals thanks to my ADHD

[@jdhilario]

The higher budget really shows, especially in the scenes where you cloned jazz emu so he could teach a classroom of his clones.

[@pugpartyproductions8805]

Most normal Jazz Emu moment lol

[@Lambspascuant]

Asking “why do you look so confused?” after explaining farthings and shillings had me laughing harder than I have in a long time. Thank you.

[@PopeGoliath]

Fun fact, there are two main theories about the origin of money: Money of exchange and money of account. Money of exchange is what our dear Emus Jazz refers to at the beginning of the song, facilitating trade when a specific item-for-item barter is not available. Money of account is to track debts. Say that a trade has to take place over time, like giving a farmer seed in exchange for future crops. A record of transactions forms a system of money that isn't traded directly.

[@JBAIMARK3]

That's interesting, both theories sound quite compelling, I'd never thought of the latter.

[@zep4814]

But, in fact, both are made up by economists. Anthropologists and Archaeologists disagree, and form the more logical conclusion that before there was money there was a system of friendly loans, then traders started trading precious metals for everything for long trade routes, and eventually money was forced upon the population by lords for tax purposes. The only reason the economists made up the one you commented is because they only saw the last steps of the process. Before that money was basically only used for long voyages, and even up until a few centuries ago friendly loans were the most common form of small-scale economic transactions.

[@ct_devoid]

​@@zep4814That.... sounds a little like both of what they said..🤔

[@Mereologist]

Even when you are trading goats, then goats = money. Barter is nothing less than a system of money with thousands of currencies of fluctuating value.

[@zep4814]

@@Mereologist Goats do not have a constant value nor a fluctuating value. They have a transaction-based value. For every possible buyer the goat has a different value, and in most transactions you would not be buying the goat, you would be sharing the goat.

[@krislaracoelho8643]

I wake up, I see this, I feel the urge to throw a bunch of shells towards Jazz because this is a masterpiece

[@kwullums]

hey if you've got shells i know a small channel you might enjoy

[@LittleNGaming]

It's truly incredible now that paper rectangle is Larger to fit Eggerson Keaveney's full body likeness on it. The three logical parts are now more logical.

One thing I really appreciate about jazz emu is that he makes a whole bunch of really good songs instead of making one good song and pushing it for months like a lot of those tiktok artists. Nothing against the tiktok artists but it can get annoying hearing the same song over and over again.

[@at5203]

My favorite thing about money is how everyone definitely understands it and how much sense it has made forever. It's furthering abstraction into systems beyond the comprehension of regular people is delightful and very practical and NOT to worry about.

[@dopaminecloud]

I'm also sure that if we keep systems like money simple and pragmatic for the everyman we'll surely be able to run something as multifaceted as a society sustainably. It's a very simple social construct after all.

[@bizwiz2852]

I have been building this music video in my head since I heard this song. This is amazing, thank you for blessing our delicate earholes once more!

[@fluffyravens3758]

Loved this one on the album, delighted to have finally figured out that the line that haunted my every night and had me waking in screams was "I'm not exactly one hundred percent on what Lloyds TSB is"

[@Fanro3]

love the reference to high budget boy (2:40 "you can bet your bottom sterling")

[@HuckleberryJr]

it might also be a reference to another one of his older songs "monottone", with the box zooming out effect

[@Yvelluap]

@@HuckleberryJr he uses that in other songs too, like hench

[@Catssonova]

It actually makes sense for the guy holding all the goats to be the first banker rather than the guy by the sea. But that's a whole different song

[@philipclifford2314]

I've always liked money. I try to keep a whole mess of it handy. I am glad it is finally getting some recognition for how important it really is for like... everything. Try it! I think you'll really like it.

[@LanceSlash]

Many Jazz Emu lyrics make more sense when you can read them & hear them at the same time

[@wordytoed9887]

That guy just threw a SWORD *into* that poor peasant woman! No one is saying anything ?!?!

[@catmarsh6547]

I mean he has access to so many shells...

[@-starrysunrise-2908]

She's POOR so it doesn't matter =/:3

[@BrendanEvan]

She was probably in debt by at least 17 goats at an interest rate of 3 shells per month

[@xox4136]

Omg I actually think this is one of your best songs, so groovy!!!

[@sallyanngrant1179]

Agreed!

[@Beyond_Beyblade]

Absolutely! Almost as good as recycled toboggans!

[@AmKhaibitu]

Just remember that Eggerson is on the 50, lifesize.

[@Spamhard]

My favourite thing about money is how fair it is. You see, the man who lives by the sea just has shells wash up on his doorstep, it's very easy to acquire. And the people who don't live by the sea? Well they can very easily make the 10hr walk to collect the few small shells that are left behind. Live by the sea? Oh no no, you see my friends, there is already one man who lives by the sea, there couldn't possibly be more space for other people to share that space. Then too many people would have access to shells!!

[@ajankytoucan]

But they can work for the man by the sea in exchange for shells, who then gives them what they produced in exchange for some of the shells he just gave them! It's brilliant and makes perfect sense!

[@Spamhard]

@@ajankytoucan Ah yes, you're correct! That's a much better system than them simply keeping their own production. Instead, acquiring shells is most important.

[@Dirkus17]

Wasn't sure I was fully viking with this until "recycled toboggans!", and then I knew we were back amongst the good stuff.

[@willpulford8893]
