MUSICIAN REACTS TO Say My Name [OC Animatic]

[@michaelmcdoesntexist.]

This animatic is what got me into musicals. This is actually still my favorite song from a musical

[@andreabenton7798]

This got me into animatics and also into the beetlejuice soundtrack.

[@keypath5340]

Love your pfp

[@kawansiesquad6659]

Same tho, I always loved songs and musicals in tv shows/movies, but this animatic made me open to listening and watching to theatre musicals

[@zerokura]

If you like this dark humor I recommend The Man Who Hates Musical you can find the Musical here on KZbin. The animation for the song Poison coffee is a nice one. Their like alot of swearing so if ya don't like it maybe don't watch but it's fun. It's attack of the body snacher but the new body sings in Musical lol

[@dianarosi5363]

honestly same, I loved this song and I was like SO curios to know something about it, then everything started

[@WlngDlngBat]

Oh, well, if Beetlejuice is on the table now… may I suggest “The Whole Being Dead Thing”? Hilarious song, and Alex Brightman is a wonderful actor/singer.

[@magicquill7054]

Y E double S

[@pearcedechamplain4132]

Me too that and her sweet tooth one

[@justarandomchannel8150]

Omg yes! "What I Know Now" is another one I'd love to see him react to

[@WybieLoonArts]

YES!!

[@blank813]

Honestly? All of Beetlejuice. He needs to watch it

[@Strawb3rryG1rl777]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how David and Lydia both said *" What "* in sync- That was just perfect. 😂

[@ismy3680]

YES, JUST *YES* BEETLEJUICE SOUDTRACK IS ✨AMAZING✨ You should listen to "Dead mom"! Is my favorite song of the soundtrack and Sophia's voice is unique!

[@haleylutz3446]

Yes! Dead mom is the best song in the musical!

[@eclipsesmoonshine405]

I second this!

[@Narutonarutonaruto85]

Lydia is mad at her father regarding his lack of acknowledgment of her late mother. She wants him to suffer, but doesn't want to kill him. BJ is just a bit murder happy, which came back to bite him when he accidentally gave away his bargaining power.

[@samanthaclaremejia7975]

Oh so that’s why everytime bj mentions killing his dad, Lydia freaks out 😭

[@CGWolfGaming]

I already loved this song a lot, but after seeing the movie the musical is based off of, it got even better because of the context! Beetlejuice is a demon but he can't do anything in the living world because of some afterlife rules, unless he's basically summoned by having his name said three times in a row (which he's not allowed to say himself). He let it slip that "any ghost" can do the possession thing that he did. Those other two characters that came in are actually ghosts that used to live in Lydia's house and they are more friendly than Beetlejuice, so Lydia sided with them for a plan against her dad to get the family out of their house and Beetlejuice realized he was being rejected. Beetlejuice got scared there because he just screwed up the only opportunity he's had in a long time.

[@area52ron]

Took the words out of my mouth

[@marmyeater]

Not a demon, he is a ghost.

[@andres_david25]

@@marmyeater More like "Ghost Zombie Jesus"

[@Mokiefraggle]

@@marmyeater I believe they tweaked the story a bit in the musical, and Beetlejuice is in fact referred to as a demon rather than simply a ghost. It explains why he's not tied to haunting a specific place, like the Maitlands are.

[@mayadargeon2172]

... Did you listen to "The Whole Being Dead Thing" ? You really should, because it's awesome, both part 1 and 2 are HYSTERIC. "Dead Mom" is amazing too, really, altho it's a whole other vibe. Love your vids man.

[@RaulDiaz-mp8ms]

There's also "What I know now", that's a banger.

[@jinxcrafter]

"Dead Mom" will give you the context you're looking for in regards to Lydia

[@gaiapsyche]

You saying "what?" together with the song was amazing hahaha

[@47ratsinahoodie]

I love love love this song! There's another animatic that uses Beetlejuice and Lydia but this one is equally good (I'm still surprised the artist decided to call it an animatic when there are so many moments where it's almost completely animated 🤩). Glad you enjoyed it, it's definitely a banger!

[@theshadowman4015]

Because that's what an animatic is, actually! 😚 It's a rough animation, but from what I've heard, animatic is kinda misused for what's actually considered storyboards.

[@47ratsinahoodie]

@@theshadowman4015 Animatics are storyboards with sound (typically) and slightly more articulated movements to better get across the movement and timing in a storyboard. However, with the smoothness of some of the moments in this animatic, I do think it could qualify as at least a KZbin animation (where you have some actually animated scenes and some that are more like an animatic). I've seen people call much less movement an animation so it surprised me that with so much animation, they still elected to deem it an animatic.

[@theshadowman4015]

@@47ratsinahoodie Oh, I must've misunderstood then! Thanks for letting me know

[@franziskasanders3943]

You mean the one from Shnikkels? I love that animatic!

[@goldennugget75]

0:50 I love how you both just say what at the same time😂😂😂

[@RivkahSong]

Yes! I love the Beetlejuice musical! It's unfortunately not like Hamilton where you can get the full story through only the music but it's still phenominal! The best songs on the whole soundtrack are Dead Mom, What I know now, and Home. If you want a full list of the songs in order, here you go! *Act One* Prologue: Invisible The Whole ‘Being Dead’ Thing Ready, Set, Not Yet The Whole ‘Being Dead’ Thing Part 2 Dead Mom Fright of Their Lives Ready Set (Reprise) No Reason Invisible (Reprise)/ On the Roof Say My Name Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) *Act Two* Girl Scout That Beautiful Sound Barbara 2.0 What I Know Now Home Creepy Old Guy Jump in the Line (Shake, Señora) / Dead Mom (Reprise) / Home (Reprise) / Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) [Reprise]

[@SlytherxnQueen]

I love the song- it’s so catchy and the first time I heard it, It got stuck in my head for a while TwT

[@Shadowwatcher42]

I loved this animatic when i first found it. There is another one that other people mostly react to that i find less fun to watch, so I'm happy this is the one you watched. Not to mention the voices of Lydia and BG are amazing. To answer your question about Betelgeuse being scared of Lydia; so despite him calling himself a demon Betelgeuse is actually just a ghost that's been around so long that he has so much experience haunting the living, and in some cases killing the living, he is considered a demon. Due to this there was a curse placed on him that he can not effect anything in the living world unless someone says his name three times uninterrupted, but he can't directly tell what his name is. That's why he was afraid after putting in so much work in talking to, possibly, the only living person that can see him, into not jumping to say his name only to basically say, "Any ghost can possess another person. It's the most basic ghost ability." And Lydia realizes that. So he basically screwed himself out of his only chance back to the living world and Lydia knew that.

[@cerealwithafork7819]

might i just recommend you listen to the entire musical? every song in that is an absolute banger

[@darknessmohag6181]

the reason Beetlejuice were ''Scared'' of her in the end of his part of the song, is cause YES.. He is an Demon, But He can't do anything in the land of the living if someone doesn't say his name 3 times, and when Lydia state ''But Beetlejuice what do I need you for?'' after he accidently tells her about Possession, He gets scared and Nervous, Because he is worried she won't make the deal with him. That is the reason he were ''Scared'' of Lydia.

[@fulminousdragon]

i think you would love the "ship in a bottle" animatic by shandzii, its really good!

[@logicaldreamer9641]

Beetlejuice in the background after Hooman's outro: OH COME ON!! honestly, this musical is really sick. I think you'd like the full cast album, but if you are looking to do just a few, The whole Being Dead Ting, Dead Mom, Beautiful Sound, Home, and No Reason are some real bangers.

[@AadenKDragon]

Honestly the whole damn musical is so good. My absolute favorite is "Home", sung by Lydia while in the... I can only call it the ghost zone cause Danny Phantom.. But anyway shes looking for her mom and its hopeless and her dad shows up and they have the big heart to heart and she finishes the song and goes home to wreck BJ's whole existence. Also "Fright of Their Lives" sung by BJ, Adam, and Barbara is just hilarious.

[@russellmarch4983]

Ohhhh boy! Love this song and the musical as a whole! Beetlejuice is a really fun character to imitate, especially with that voice. That simultaneous “what” from both David and Lydia is one of those things you just can’t plan. Fun fact: my high school theatre teacher actually spent a fews years professionally playing Beetlejuice at a Universal theme park! Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve had something interesting to comment, huh? Well, it’s that time again! Day 147? Of As always I continue to advocate for “Pity The Child 2” from *Chess* and/or any song from *Great Comet of 1812* . Have a wonderful day, and I regret my inability to make a good “Whole Being Dead Thing” reference.

[@SuperNovaArtz]

I love this video. It has both my 2nd favorite song from the Beetlejuice musical and one of my favorite animated videos

[@Trickpants]

Super happy you reacted to this, I feel like you have some insights I never hear anywhere else, and your energy is incredibly infectious! I'd like to recommend VoicePlay's "Hoist the Colors", "Wicked Medley" and "The Little Mermaid Medley", I think you'd love all of them!

[@v.v365]

I think this particular animatic of Say My Name is what inspired me to check out the whole Beetlejuice the Musical soundtrack

[@SpottedLeaf74]

Same!

[@jabisdumb]

Literally love this animatic 💛💛 also can we get “Hooman reacts to Encanto”? I know you already watched a bunch of the songs but the movie itself is so so good and I think you’d like it a lot

[@DavidTheHooman]

We might actually do it!

[@anatimonet269]

Omg, you need to react to "The whole being dead thing". The lyrics are good but the orchestra goes SO HARD on that one it gives me chills all the time👍💗

[@spreest9537]

Loved the Beetlejuice musical and this song is absolutely stealing the show. It's such a bop and I loved seeing you react to it and how you found it funny everytime Lydia teased Beetlejuice. It's not that he is scared of her - Lydia is just the only person who can see him and knows about his existence, so he's desperate for her to give his demonic antics a shot. From the same musical, I recommend "Dead Mom" or "Home".

[@Random_McRandomface]

1:17 The noise is a Sitar, a kind of desert guitar.

[@RavixAryss]

Omg if you're doing this you NEED to check out "Dead Mom", the vocal performance is NUTS

[@scath_mac_tire2735]

They’re Only Human (from Death Note: The Musical) from annapatsu is amaizing song, I highly recommand

[@haleylutz3446]

If you recognize Beetlejuice’s voice, it’s because Alex Brightmen is the voice actor for Fitzerolli in Helluva Boss

[@samanthaclaremejia7975]

ALEX VOICED FITZEROLLI?? Holy shit 😭 so that’s why he has that scratchy voice

[@Raine_310]

Oh I love Fitzerolli

[@enevy3165]

I’ve been a vivzieverse fan from the start but come on Beetlejuice came first haha I recognized Fizz from Beetlejuice not the other way around lol

[@novirott]

Honestly i feel like u should react to this person’s animatics- ik you react to music, not animation, but their work is REALLY impressive. I go back to rewatch it constantly.

[@Universeofmany]

"Set It All Free" from the first Sing film is an ABSOLUTE banger!

[@aaronday1997]

Yoooooo I recommend the whole Beetlejuice Musical but one of my favorite songs is "that beautiful sound" it's a very good song.

[@area52ron]

The reason Lidia is upset is because her mother died but her father didn’t care and I don’t think he even comforted her while she was grieving When she walked in on him with a new lover already when she wasn’t done grieving yet

[@laurensolomon5666]

Ooh! You should do Apex Predator from Mean Girls! It's a banger! Also, Girl Scout from Beetlejuice is hilarious! 🤣 love your work dude! 🤗

[@laurensolomon5666]

Also, All You Wanna Do from Six! is a fun one, and Words Fail from Dear Even Hansen, though that one's a lot more emotional, but his singing is 🤌 perfect!!

[@SuperNovaArtz]

Totally recommend "Fright of their lives" from the beetlejuice musical. It is amazingly fantastic and hilarious. Its my favorite of all of them

[@WybieLoonArts]

Yes! This one! It's incredible!

[@stitchgor3]

God I love this animator! Got me into musicals, animation and more!

[@pearcedechamplain4132]

the animatic artist is amaizing and my fav one from her is the song Sweet tooth. I hated the song until i found the animatic.

[@kittysworld3491]

oh i realized this only came out just today and wow this is perfect since i was waiting for you to react to this one for a while by now.

[@DinosaurNick]

YES! I was hoping you'd react to this! I'm so addicted to this song!

[@ninalink5881]

Beetlejuice it's my favorite musical and all started in this same animation! After that i seached more songs of the musical and fell in love

[@MsLilly200]

Aaah I love this animatic! I've seen a few other ones for this song, but this one is definitely my favorite.

[@hahahaha8192]

Hooo boy, I’ve been waiting for this moment. I’ve requested before, and havent gotten chosen, but I’d love if you listened to “the whole being dead thing”. It’s my jam haha

[@leophoenix2155]

Great song, Great Animatic!!!

[@wyrmiii4231]

This is one of my favorite animatics! I suggest listening to What I Know Now annapantsu has an amazing cover of it!

[@ellabreining7235]

Speaking of Beetlejuice, a song I think you’ll absolutely LOVE is Dead Mom.

[@lunamoony3945]

You should totally listen to “Dead Mom” and “home”, but I specifically suggest listening to Sophia Anne Caruso’s live action performances. I listen to them on repeat they are so good! She was an amazing broadway actor and I’m glad she’s pursuing her TV dreams, but I will definitely miss her as Lydia Deetz

[@yuzinho123]

I absolutely LOVE beetlejuice! You should def react to dead mom next, it's lydia's solo, it's SO good!

[@astrono815]

I came as soon as I say Say My Name-

[@LadyAiPhantom]

I never got tired of the end credit. It's so kawaii.

[@ivicamilica]

Since youre doing Beetlejuice now id suggest "The whole being dead thing" and "What i know now"

[@ilianamage4125]

Please add “The Story of the Phantom “ from Goosebumps the musical to your list of reactions it’s a pretty good song

[@jaredcastro579]

The fact that he doesn't know about Beetlejuice makes me feel old... Even though I am only 31...

[@SnakeOilMag]

YESSSSS. Beetlejuice is one of my fav musicals. My fav song from it is girl scout, but I suggest literally all of the songs from it

[@claireschechinger388]

omg this is one of my favorite animatics!!!

[@Stella-lo2py]

This song is such a dang good one! As for requests, I recently discovered this one song called Acacia, by Bump of Chicken. Recommend watching the Pokémon animation that accompanies it, it's just...wow.

[@irkeninvaderkiki]

Micheal in the bathroom is a really emotional piece i'd suggest from be more chill if you're considering looking into other musicals :3

[@perpetuallyconfused09]

“I love that” *flings herself of a building*

[@RhysezPieces]

DAVID YOU GOTTA DO DEAD MOM (specifically the animation by ohitscosmo)!!! That animatic got me into Beetlejuice and its so good;

[@jinxcrafter]

also "What I Know Now" from Beetlejuice has been covered by ANNAPANTSU! Can't recommend that particular cover enough

[@angelajaime5155]

I LOVED it I infinitly recomend you the song "Dead Mom" also from Beetlejuice, the animatic by ohitscosmo is SPECTACULAR, and the singer, being so young has an amazing vocal range!

[@MerakiArtDump]

Such a great song and animation!

[@noodles-6735]

i love the end (this is the first time i’m hearing it)

[@zerokura]

Oh David doing a new react how nice*eating dinner*hmm oh its say my name...well I don't need to eat now *sing along with the song* also I love that beetlejuice is in Helluva Boss as Fritz bring in that same playful energy from beetlejuice but now as an imp jester at a club with the lust demon host ossy.

[@wildfire703]

Please react to "Beautiful?" by Illymations. It is a great song, has great music, and I think you'd enjoy it. And disclaimer, it is not the same Beautiful that you already reacted to.

[@ashookamanuela1901]

Dead mom from beetlejuice is also great. The whole musical is very fun.

[@muhhflinn]

I think the ‘exotic sound’ that plays in the song is a sitar- maybe???

[@LuskaTheWusky]

Yes! I’m at so here for all the Beetlejuice content! 😍

[@maxdon2001]

Great reaction! This and "Invisible (Reprise) / On the Roof" are the only song that I have heard from this musical, but together they are in my top 5 songs from musicals! I recommend checking out "Better Then You" from Camp Camp (with the clip preferably), and Song of Raindrops from Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou (Also with the clip if possible)!

[@Gluckdrache]

SIR SIR SIR. If you're doing Beetlejuice you have to Dead Mom!

[@KefkeWren]

That's a fun one! Another good song from a musical is "Where is the Justice" from Deathnote: The Musical.

[@theunamiable]

The animation is cool, but if you can find the video of Alex doing it live on stage, it's extraordinary.

[@chasewilson3961]

Great content keep up the fantastic work!

[@damsonrhea]

I never watched the musical, but I grew up with Bettlejuice. It was one of the go-tos at blockbuster when everything you actually wanted was checked out.

[@PolarisWoof]

I'd suggest 'Want You Gone - Frank Sinatra Big Band Swing Version' by the 8-Bit Big Band. It's a FANTASTIC spin on the credits song from Portal 2! I think you'd really pick it apart.

[@TheArcSet]

Nice to see a reaction to this, wonderful motion. I may have suggested it? His other animatic _Sweet Tooth_ is *amazing.* I'd also recommend Zim, _I'm Gonna Win_ and _Ship in a Bottle_ as great animatics, matched up to wonderful obscure songs.

[@NathyStudios]

OMG I LOVE THIS ANIMATIC AND SONG AAAAAA

[@cyber-streak8324]

Someone’s already suggested it, but I agree with them, you should listen to Dead Mom.

[@elizabethdonner5240]

I am here again, asking for Be More Chill, specifically Michael in the Bathroom but the true weight of that song won't be felt until you watch the whole thing

[@deljfirefortube]

Or upgrade

[@uncledip4909]

Might i suggest "Burn my dread" from persona 3, amazing song with genius lyrics and impactful leitmotif

[@leilaal522]

This is late but, to explain the plot a bit for the people who want to know. Beetlejuice isn’t afraid of Lydia at the end, he needs her to say his name so he can be visible as a demon and so he won’t be alone in life, to interact with the living and he is desperate because she is the only alive person who can see him. When he’s pinned down, it’s just showing that Lydia gets the upper hand because she figures out that she doesn’t NEED beetlejuice to get her father out of the house. Beetlejuice needs Lydia and tries to convince her that she also needs him, and she considers his offer a little but doesn’t want strings attached, then she realizes that the mainlands (the dead couple) could easily help her. Before that song he sang about how he was alone and invisible because Adam and Barbra mainland wouldn’t help him get a living person to say his name, and how he’s been alone for his whole existence. The mainlands are being possessed in the song and beetlejuice makes them say great things about him, even though they think he is a dangerous and unstable weirdo. In this song he is skipping a step and going straight to manipulating Lydia when he finds out that she can see him (because she’s strange and unusual and the reason people don’t see ghosts is because they usually ignore the strange and unusual, but this doesn’t apply to beetlejuice because he’s a demon as well as dead, hence the name rule, no leaving the house, not being allowed to lie, among other things), he also wants a friend, and he thinks it’s a win win if he scares her father, Lydia gets freedom to grieve for her mother alone without her father wanting her to brush it off and be happy, while he finally gets to be free from his curses and he with a friend who understands him. Anyways thanks for listening to my Tedtalk, go watch the musical, it’s fantastic and as a writer I think it made in depth characters

[@glittergirl956]

Please do “dead mom” next! That song is FIRE!!!!

[@van_van1533]

Can you do " Where is the justice " it's a musical called death note

[@Shmooshus]

Hi if you want to understand what's happening, I recommend you listen to Dead Mom. It shows why she's depressed.

[@quinnholmes9954]

PLEASE react to “dead mom” it’s a song that I relate to a lot after loosing my mom, it makes me cry every time and yet, it makes me feel so much better. Hearing something that shows me I’m not alone with these complicated feelings

[@saniharuo]

Oh! I really like this song and animatic from Beetlejuice, ohitscomso's Dead Mom and the whole being dead thing pt2 by Ximena Natzel

[@2to5Raccoons]

I love this song! I actually use it to harass spam texters when they use the wrong name (recently I kept getting texts for Denise, who I am not). I try to figure out if there's a human on the other end, then I text it to them line by line. Sometimes I split the verses up by a day or two to more frustration.

[@izzyreaves6441]

this is the greatest show is pretty good i think you will like it

[@Neon-zq5of]

God i forgot I love this musical

[@Mandus_The_Mad]

[@maksident_6101]

Have you watched Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse? Whether you care about superheroes and comic books or not it’s one of the best movies I have ever seen, and the use of character themes and music is outstanding. I highly recommend it

You should really check out “Tough to be a god - OC Animatic [The Raven and the Reaper]” or maybe even “Shiny - Lisamine Animatic” Two favorites.

[@Meowm.png11]

I have something you could react to! The song The Court Jester, most of the people I've shown it to hadn't heard of it but absolutely loved it, it's a very nice song

[@Lania_S]

Creepy Old Guy is other good song of the musical of Beetlejuice, you need react a that song✨ And another good job of Alex Brightman (the actor of Beetlejuice) it's Stick It To The Man, from the musical of School of Rock

[@pleasehelp2446]

So the resonation instrument used was a sitar, common in middle eastern and Indian music.
