Not As Sexy // Jazz Emu

[@stemwaffle]

With glasses: Exactly the type of guy you expect to make Jazz-Emu-y music Without glasses: the guy all of my friends had a crush on in high school I never realized how much of a difference glasses makes...not complaining

[@fultonwhite6457]

"They might look better on paper, but I guess that just means I must be saving trees." OMG I actually gasped at the masterful lyric

[@mikeymoughtin6573]

he's not saying decorate, he's saying decorticate, which means to remove bark or a husk or a peel if it's a banana. so, "decorticate this banana and you'll reveal it's got sex A-PEEL" well done, Mr. Emu, making me google words only to realize you punned on me

[@chamathangelo9495]

damn that's subtle

[@vayly6346]

It could also be a slight double entendre, since decortication can also refer to the medical state of becoming rigid/stiff with bend arms/limbs following a traumatic brain injury. Stiffen/rigid his banana. Layers to this joke, for sure.

[@sophiaredwood5825]

Dang the dedication

[@insertpithynamehere]

Yup, I caught that one. It's subtle, yet devastatingly clever.

[@hfs-lk5ip]

holy fuck thats good lyrics

[@LazyPlumber89]

Hey so I feel like we are experiencing something that in 10 years we can say we were there in the beginning. You're an amazing musician.

[@Steve_Trotta]

Yeah, this guy just hasn’t gotten the right break yet. It WILL happen. I still laugh at this shit on like the 20th listen.

[@MrGeoronimo]

agreed 100% kick some 🍑 emu

[@insertpithynamehere]

Right!?! I'm late to the party, just having discovered him a week ago, but I'm already HOOKED!! It's insane!!!! The next impromptu livingroom dance party I find myself at, first of all, I'ma play some Jazz Emu, and secondly, I'm going to bring Pharonic Hands back into my dance oeuvre. Although I'll incorporate Emu's loose, goofily-awesome inversion and side-step combo. As tribute. The hand dance he's doing? That's really close to a bellydance move, as named above. You usually hold candles, or, tiny LEDs these days, in your flattened hands. Then, you slowly, using tight control and isolation, dance, pose, pop & lock, all while keeping your hands in that same position the whole time. Usually with palms up, though. It's part of the more tight-isolation Asian styles of bellydance. There are many different styles that come from a variety of different regions. From Africa, the Middle East, India, Asia, Polynesia, and even parts of Europe and the Americas. Think Thai dancing with those shiny, pointy cones on your fingers, and tight, almost imperceptible body isolation, vs Polynesian dancing with the furiously-paced, loose, wild hip circles.

[@gorboobus9292]

Too true

[@bethanyjones3593]

Dear Mr. Emu, This was the first work of yours to bless my eyes, ears, and soul. 'Twas a beautiful beginning to my Jazz Emu appreciation. I sent this to my sister, an elementary music teacher, and she responded, "That video just gave me a GREAT new dance move to share with the children (the side to side hand flippies)" I hope it brings you joy to imagine a 30-something music teacher training her children in the act of hand flippies at an elementary school in Texas. Affectionately and Respectfully, Bethany

[@JazzEmu]

Make this compulsory globally across all curriculums

[@myksmith]

Also, the hand-flippy thing IS an emu, right??

[@lindsaypatterson7472]

Our entire family (including our 7 and 2 year old) love to do the hand flippies. We have a hand flippy dance party.

[@insertpithynamehere]

@@JazzEmui commented about this at great length earlier, but the hand flippies are actually very similar to a bellydance move called Pharonic Hands. You're doing inverted Pharonic Hands, while incorporating a sassy side-step. This will totally be a part of the next impromptu livingroom dance party I find myself at. Also, I've been spreading your amazing art as far and wide as I possibly can. It's been a week. I'm already HOOKED, and on a complete mission. The name Jazz Emu will be on the lips and in the hearts of all appreciators of hysterically wry lyrics, spectacularly funky jazz, a total devotion to a wicked aesthetic, and amazing videos.

[@SickWhiteTiger]

@@JazzEmu is there a tertiary class for this?

[@bushman18882]

Hey, can we talk about how without his glasses, he genuinely looks like a different person. Coming from a guy with glasses.

[@bozmundarts2614]

IKR?? i noticed when he changed his "body language" XD

[@Jrshh-]

I swear he looks like 80s morrissey with his glasses on I can’t unsee it

Yeah, I couldn't stop rewatching the "Vibe it out" video for this reason. Somehow missed this one, which is also a masterpiece lol.

[@ThatOneIrishFurry]

my favorite part of this video is one of the lines is "i can juggle with a greater ease which makes me sexier" and then later on he juggles microphones quite well

If by "this" you mean the entire channel then I would have to agree with you.

[@EtherTheReal]

Marginally underrated

[@Desjos]

Man, how do you manage to make these songs so damn funky, genuinely hilarious, and sexually titillating at the same time?

[@someone16234]

It’s that extra 2%

[@meat1929]

VERY amazing work Emu. My body can physically not handle how much sexiness you are outputting so I hired a professional to help undertake the burden and it still wasn't enough.

[@JazzEmu]

I do not regret what I have done, but you have my sincerest sympathy.

[@spot6056]

That little "depending on your criteria"

[@blocked-in-the-head1267]

That ending hits hard fsr. It's like getting off an immersive game or to finishing a movie you've gotten sucked into. Its always just you in some room, left to wrap your head back into reality.

"They might look better on paper, but I guess that just means I must be saving trees" Bar an a half that.

[@j.yossarian6852]

Another masterpiece, you can't keep topping your previous efforts, its unbelievable.

[@Ca-kn5hw]

The tie is actually like an individual character here. It's tight at the beginning, loosens up, is lost and then reappears to end up being tied but loose. I can't see if in the very final shot it's still present but the collar seems more open than it was a second before. I don't know if this was intentional but anyway the concept is really interesting and the video, like every other, is just genius :)

[@ourtalechara9341]

I think of it not as being that the tie is it's own character, but that the tie helps communicate the attitude of karaoke man. At the beginning, he's nervous and self conscious, gradually becoming more confident over the course of the song. The tie loosens as he lets go of his anxieties and begins to have fun. And, at the very end, he comes back to earth, realizing how into the song he got

[@Ca-kn5hw]

@@ourtalechara9341 Yes, that's exactly it! I said it was its own character because I wanted to be understood, it was certainly an exaggeration :)

[@MissPoplarLeaf]

Just discovered this song, and I love it. Hilarious but also genuinely sexy somehow?? It's the confidence

[@SlimeyBaron]

fr man. someone can do the goofiest shit on the planet but if they're completely confident in it and just vibing then that's honestly pretty attractive

[@e5858]

Confidence and obsession with a semi-productive, eccentric hobby are the sexiest traits.

[@nugget0928]

This sounds like it isn’t even a parody song, this is something an actual artist would put out and you’d hear it on the radio for the next 4 weeks.

[@emilysmith2965]

Point of order: parody is actual art and parodists are actual artists. A more accurate term might be something like “mainstream recording artist.”

[@TartanArmyDcfc]

I'll never stop loving every aspect of this

[@Bobbyhiddn]

This is a bop and a half, as well as the theme song to my life.

[@maxwelleckenrode4676]

[@ubernate860]
