Space Age Bachelor Man [Official Audio] from Ride the Cyclone The Musical featuring Scott Redmond

[@drewjay8940]

I love how he's self aware enough to acknowledge it gets weird, but not self aware enough to realize it was already there.

[@rubydearest]

😭😭

[@jaredemerson-johnson6125]

It is extremely relatable. I love it.

[@Pinskinator]

It's consistent with his beliefs, though. Sexy alien cat ladies are good and normal, war is bad and weird.

[@drewjay8940]

@@Pinskinator Oh I totally agree. I think they did a great job of developing Ricky's character. He has fantastic dialogue and the soundtrack really doesn't capture it. I'm just saying I find it funny (even if it makes sense) that he was so close to being self aware. I feel like "really close to being self aware" sums up Ricky pretty well. He's super introspective and intelligent, but he is still just so awkward.

many have critiques about how Ricky’s disability is portrayed in the musical, and some are valid, but something I don’t think is appreciated is how open Ricky is with his sexuality. He isn’t infantilized nor is it treated as the butt of a joke, which is something I haven’t even seen before and I think is a great stride in representation.

[@addyshorhnr3544]

Well other then ocean who doesn’t think Ricky should know what porn is but that gives me more energy of her being disgusted by porn in general.

[@theimplications635]

@@addyshorhnr3544 Ocean's infantilization of Ricky vs. what he actually is like is the point. Ocean was being ableist there, but that was intentional. (tbh she was even more ableist in her actual song) It makes this song more meaningful.

[@addyshorhnr3544]

@@theimplications635 but she also yells at Constance for even suggesting it. Honestly I too would be surprised that Ricky knew what porn was. He’s severely disabled and has been for awhile. It’s unlikely that other then the choir he interacts a lot with non disabled peers, and most parents wouldn’t feel the need to have the porn conversation with a child that is unlikely to learn about it himself. He definitely would get sexual urges if that’s how he is but him knowing the concept of porn is surprising.

Meow Meow (Make love to me, Ricky!) (What?) Meow Meow (But there's one more small thing… Won't you please help save our galaxy… Ricky?) (…Sure.) What would you do in my place? A mere mortal man? With the fate of a galaxy before you, Millions of lives in your hand? The naughty daughters of the realm All hungry for my chi You'd never guess the role I played In Zolorian history! I'm just a swingin'! Space age! Bachelor Man! (Let's dance, kitties) [Instrumental and sexual ‘meows’] (It gets weird now.) Ricky, you've lain with our daughters You're our hero, our saving grace But now, there is a new challenge For Zoloria to face For they're at war with K-9 Count Dog-U-Lous, that son of a bitch! (That son of a bitch!) The generals are all standing by “Tell us Ricky, should we pull the switch?” Meow Meow (Oh my goodness, what have I gotten myself into?) Meow Meow (Why are they asking me? I'm a lover, not a fighter! I thought I told them;) I'm just a swingin'! Space age! Bachelor man! (So I told them) I am just a man A space age man, that's all But I wanna hold your hands, all your hands As we make love tonight Oh, I have no desire to rule the galaxy Oh, to hold you close is enough for me Making love in zero gravity! Woah! Hey! Makin' love! Makin' love! Makin' love! On just love Zolar! (Zolar! Woo!) Makin' love! Makin' love! Makin' love! On just love Zolar! Uh, I've got to I've got to make You're my catnip You're the most You're such a pretty, gritty, kitty I wanna be your scratching post Let me be, let me be, let me be! Makin' love! Makin' love! Makin' love! On just love Zolar! (And they listened. And they heard my message, for I was singing notes that only cats or cat people could hear. A G# 5 octaves above middle C.) (Incredible. Peace was restored. I guess that's what happens…) When you're a swingin'! Space age! Bachelor man! So I came back to the earth To show you the way To lead your pretty people To a brighter day We can save the whole galaxy With love from the heart And sexy cat ladies, that, that, that's where we'll start Yes, I came back to this rock With my love and my seed Ladies, you got what I want And I know you've got what I need Cause I'm a swingin'!

Wdym "with" MADD?? Its not a disease, its a coping mechanism. You wouldnt say somebody "with" self harm/nm/lh

[@WisdomUngulates]

@@Theatricsanddramatics Umm its a condition…? So yes I have it…and yes anything can be representation even self harm? Self harm has been represented in media before…I dont understand ur point here😭

[@Theatricsanddramatics]

@@WisdomUngulates um its not a condition???😭😭 Again, it is a *coping mechanism.* Its not diagnosable, its not a disease or a mental disorder.. do you even know what it means if you don't know that? You'd say "a maladaptive daydreamer" or "somebody who suffers from maladaptive daydreaming" or something. Not somebody "with" maladaptive daydreaming. It isn't a mental disorder or condition that develops, its a way of coping. And idk what your on about but if the sentence "i am someone *with* self harm" (which is the same kind of thing and not a condition) sounds correct, maybe just reevaluate what you know about English. No idea why you brought up SH representation???? Help??😭😭😭 I never talked about that There is a reason you can't rediagnosed with MADD, it isn't a condition.

[@WisdomUngulates]

@@Theatricsanddramatics Honestly dude im so confused I didnt even know what u were talking about in the orginal comment probably why I confused it for talking about sh representation? Honestly this us a shits and giggles comment thought that be obvious…i didnt think about grammar…I literally say “This fucks” its not serious…

[@Why-are-there-handles]

Showed this to a few of my fellow stage crew members and the reactions were amazing💀

[@finn4the_human4]

We listen to you now space jesus

[@your.local_ghost]

[@Meli-Meliai]

[@oldmanriver8498]

this is the only song in this recording i am dyeing to see how this was done on stage

[@fredrickthecatfish8661]

U can see it in the rtc slime tutorial

[@theauthor5484]

It's great everyone's wearing alien-cat helmets/masks and Ricky's in a jumpsuit and wig with cat ears I think

[@PhantomPinetree]

Halfway through the song he has a costume change where he becomes what's basically a space cat furry from the 80s with shiny pants and neon sunglasses

[@isa_saenz]

this song has no right going as hard as it does

[@Echo-od9ix]

This song is so good but I don’t wanna show it to any of my friends bc of the MOANING CATS IN THE BACKGROUND 😭

[@bee1104]

You need cooler friends, I could send this to probably 80% of my friend group

[@sarahsprole5222]

The deep “BACHELOR MAN” at 4:36 was so perfect I’m crying this is art

[@Maeve11y]

3:56 THE LITTLE WHIMPER/MOAN THING?? 😭😭

[@maxwellgrimsley]

I played this for my guy friend and we just sat in discomfort the entire time it was great

[@Sammyskeleton5332]

now i'm tempted to do the same with my friend!

[@TheJoeschmoe777]

I like to think this actually happened and Ricky wasn't imagining/dreaming it or making anything up.

[@rrub3r_ducKk]

"Now you got sweet Ricky Potts saying p*rno is magical!" Sweet Ricky Potts:

[@silhou00]

Oh my god this song wont leave my head everyday i lay awake at night tormented by the echos of distant meowing

[@k1ng-1sh]

I first listened to this song at 3 am and i got all the way through but i had zoned out thinking i was in a fever dream. I turned my phone off after this and rewatched it when i had woken up a bit more just to make sure my sleep deprived brain didn’t produce a natural acid trip 😅

[@nnyang_k]

3:20 - 4:20 BUT LIKE THIS PART IS UNIRONICALLY SO GOOD

[@emberystudios8406]

This is why Ricky is goated.

[@ashleyharrison1137]

RIP Ricky would’ve loved Catgirls are ruining my life

[@liamphillpotts4894]

I chose to believe this literally did happen to ricky

[@caittycatt303]

Wdym it did!

[@thebrokenforgottenandlost4273]

Saw the show live for the first time today and Ricky pointed at me when he said “ladies you’ve got what I want and I’ve got what you need”

[@radvelvetcakez]

I would simultaneously start making grimaces from being uncomfortable and also combust No seriously what was your reaction? Spill the tea hunny we're- (or rather just me) waiting 👀🍵

[@thebrokenforgottenandlost4273]

@@radvelvetcakez I was sitting next to my mother who was also seeing the show for the first time (but with zero context) so that made it worse lmao. I was so not ready for the cat costumes either, I've never watched a recording so I had no idea what to expect

even with context this is still ridiculous- i love it
