@@sara-lindamitchell1926 From the article that guy mentioned: Brown also drew on his childhood for the high, feminine voice he adopts in the song’s third verse, a self-protection measure he would employ as a kid to speed up the process when older teenagers would bully him. “If somebody called me a faggot, I would just taunt them in a high girl voice,” he recalls. “I would get beat up by older kids, and there’d be a lot of homophobic slurs. They didn’t know anything about you at all; it’s just what they said. I found that it’d compress the time that you’re actually having the shit kicked out of you if you antagonized them by donning a girl voice.”

[@Zidious323]

The reaction from the woman next to him when he does the girl voice is the best ^^

[@misterj1396]

That’s actually the best part lol

[@hibida651]

who is that girl

[@pgzzz]

This brings back so many memories of the late 90’s/early 2000’s. One of my favourite songs of all time because it’s pure fun. 👍

[@churmmmcuz2823]

It’s not pure fun, watch the vice documentary on it. It’s not at all, it’s actually pretty sad.

[@Spinnr75]

Well, it’s about a murder

[@churmmmcuz2823]

@@Spinnr75 nah that was just bad timing, but it was a big fuck you to people who blamed the music for the murder.

[@carlosgarcia-wq4cw]

@@Spinnr75 What? explain it, please.

[@struggle6996]

@@carlosgarcia-wq4cw a kid that lived on brendan’s (main singer) block murdered his friend in the woods behind his house. he got inspired to write the song years later. he was also sent to a christian all-boys school because of the fear after the murder ( because he apparently listened to metal n was arrested w/ an AC/DC shirt on, people thought that was why he killed a person). because of that, he never got to experience a normal high school life. (line: i love how she rocks, in keds and tube socks.) this helped the song become into what we know it as today. vice documentary: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ63omp4iLGYbZY

The precision of this performance and recording is outstanding note by note perfection! The percussions are amazing, vocals, background, everything is just tight and perfect. WOW!

[@acmeshellieco1490]

So damn impressive.

[@Doopersteen]

Incredible. Sounds exactly like the original recording and his vocal range is amazing. Have come back to watch this 50 times sporadically. Love it more every time

Legends will be legends. Love these guys for this immortal song.

[@outtasht]

I got goosebumps everytime I listen to this master piece

[@terryhoskin3739]

I’ve never seen this live before…. Mind blown… the fact he can still do it after all these years is crazy too you’d think hitting those notes time and time again would kill his vocal chords

[@sidthesloth12]

When "sung live" is just as good as "recorded in the studio" doesn't happen with many bands...rare is the band that can do this...much respect

This has become one of my favorite songs of all time over the years. It's definitive of my generation. This version gives me goosebumps. We need more rock songs with such staying power in this day and age.

[@GunterPSparks]

Amen. All this mediocre hip hop is taking over. The youth of today dont really know what music is. Sad. This song makes me happy.

[@tempakilla]

Just found out that he sings the female voice all by him self and I love this song even more now! It's fabulous

[@GohanSSJZ]

I've listened to this version so many times already, it's such an amazing rendition. I used to love this song when it came out, and this just sounds so amazing and definitely removes the 'pop' vibe.

[@tomthompson5686]

Oh hell, this groove is pinned down, love it. The keyboardist has much taste, and the harmonies are spot on! Great season thanks for sharing.

[@SonOfTheGunz]

Yeah he does. His names Brandon Ticer went to high school with him in Memphis Tn. Really nice, classy cool dude
