Steam Powered Giraffe - Hatch Fever (Live at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego)

[@RiskyJinjo11]

I love how misleadingly high Hatch sings. The mustache gives off the impression that he'd have a deeper voice for some reason. XD

[@spgiraffe]

Yup. Youmacon 2013. We debuted this song. Hatchworth's first show. :)

[@funnyfarmcrafts3131]

i love how my 4 year old belives with all her heart that they are actual robots makes me smile

[@NorokVokun]

naw so cute 😄

[@adamdawson3339]

+Samantha Clark you mean they aren't?????

[@Zachary-md1ft]

They are, aren't they? ;)

[@adamdawson3339]

Luke lol

[@funnyfarmcrafts3131]

oh they are really real

[@WonkaWorker]

Imagine that now, with Spine, Rabbit, and Zero singing this, Hatchy making his return and coming out of a box that they wheel onstage and going "FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR"

[@opalophelia1274]

That would be the best callback ever, the whole audience would riot

[@spgiraffe]

That was definetely me. -Bunny

[@sunshineyrainbows13]

Okay but can we all just take a moment to appreciate Sam's singing abilities? He's got such a great voice going for Hatchy, and if it wasn't supposed to be mildly comedic, I bet he could really belt it out! I definitely fell in love with Hatchy thanks to this wonderful song. Great performance by all!

[@DaDutchGuy95]

This band has THE friendliest and most kind-hearted fanbase I've ever seen.

[@sireliot2149]

As a Gary Moore fan, you've got me interested lol

[@javim5328]

The Spine and Rabbit are so TALL, Hatchy pretty much disappears behinds them

[@adamdawson3339]

Javiera Meneses lol

[@angelcocoa4941]

I really thought Hatchy was just small for way longer than I should have

[@brassgoggles6737]

"don't kill birds and generally pair your nouns with words" advice for life

[@djpritchard5314]

Not be *that* guy, but I'm pretty sure it's pair your nouns with *verbs*.

[@thomasoconnor]

and make sure not to put adverbs on pronouns

[@PopTartNeko]

I have found it. The happiest music ever.

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

PopTartNeko Well, until you know his backstory... *shudders*

[@PopTartNeko]

Hmm, actually I don't. Care to explain? :) Don't think it will change my opinion bout the song though. +Lord Obsidious

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

PopTartNeko Oh, don't get me wrong, I still love the song, it just becomes a bit less "happy crazy" and more "scary happy crazy". *BACKSTORY ALERT* Basically, Hatchworth was built by Walter I with an experimental core that could open rifts to... somewhere. This was useful in the war as he could use almost any ammo imaginable, and even after, when he was the Walters' butler, as he could produce his eponymous Hatch's Worth of sandwiches for them at any time. However, after a horrific incident involving lotsa destruction due to his rift, it was discovered that he was leaking deadly radiation from his hatch. He was locked, fully conscious, unable to sleep in a small lead vault on the Walter grounds for many decades, until the newest Walter worked out a way to fix his core. That's why he's so... odd, because he has literally been driven loopy by isolation.

[@emilesdark5943]

where do i find these backstories?

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

Taylor Maxwell On the website I believe. Just search up "Steam Powered Giraffe" on google and you should be able to find it.

[@clewslisa]

"Oh you caught it? You caught it real quick ...Well you're gonna need some anti-biotics"

[@brobro8687]

The Spine is literally the only one that's sane out of all the group.

[@mistamemewide]

Just saying, Hatchworth’s voice is incredibly amazing.

[@MoonlightMiyu]

How could you *not* catch Hatch Fever after watching this?!? Even my roommates cracked up after the whole "open your chest cavity" part onwards...

[@littleblu33]

Hatchworth, I love you... When I first found this band, I'll be honest, Rabbit was my favorite. Now, I love everybody with the same amount of my entire being... This definitely helped me catch Hatch Fever. And I denied the antibiotics.

[@AIRogge]

If I ever start liking one character more than the others, I know it must be that I'm just not paying proper attention to everyone. They're all such super talented people and gracious performers. And it doesn't hurt that they poke fun at themselves and their fans. Good-natured, through and through.

[@ericbrowne1628]

Oh hell. I just noticed Rabbits rave light dance... I love her.

[@tallyvi7886]

ok but sams robot voice for hatchy is really good like in every word there so much emotion and no emotion all at once and it really works

[@EphemeralDarkness22]

We have a new headmaster at my school and his name is Mr Hatch. Going to sing this in his face every time I see him.

[@BlinkinFirefly]

+Francis Bonnefoy OMG YESSSS!!!!! XD

[@usedshoelace8205]

God yes.

[@BlinkinFirefly]

DAAAAAAYUUUUM Hatchy really hittin' dem notes!!! =D

[@therobotwolf]

Anybody else realize that they say NOT to act out these lyrics, and then list a whole bunch of things you SHOULD do? Was it just me?

[@geloofinmolko]

I love Hatchworth so much! That last note on "Acclimated...." Man, I love it.

[@AS-wy7tq]

this is probably the most adorable thing I've seen in a while

[@MAlexandra152]

I freaking love Hatchworths voice. His first notes at 1:50 are so amazing. And i love his personality - he's such a hyperactive adorable mustached goof.

[@spgiraffe]

Ah technology, we've come so far :P -The Spine

[@quibblish]

Open your heart, come on, everybody, open up that chest cavity.

[@parjai97]

instructions unclear, archimedes stuck in chest

[@hecklife6636]

Instructions not clear enough, got boiler stuck in blender.

[@josejuanguajardo1196]

That TF2 joke...

[@Cookiejaytube]

I think it's so cute when he starts whispering in a state of panic in the middle of the song omfg

[@bizmarkie9112]

Hatchworth can truly shine. I'll miss the guy. Bravo, Hatchworth.

[@mawprints]

hatchy's voice is amazing in this tbh like wow hes so cute omg

[@Chemrmnce1234]

I love Hatch's voice. He is def my favorite of the bots right now

[@katiakat999]

I've definitely caught Hatch Fever!

[@dr2boomer]

I caught hatch fever and the side effects include being quite dapper.

[@trevormckay677]

"Thats weird" "That makes sense" The duality of robots

[@KillJoysXx]

"psh this song wont get stuck in my head" i said "i can just think of another song" "i can listen to this on repeat and not get an earworm" i was so wrong

[@michaelkenner3289]

The first time I heard it I didn't really notice this song much compared to some of the other SPG songs, every time I listen though I like it more and more. Now I think it's one of my absolute favourites. Just love the clever wordplay and how the song's so much fun. Always makes me smile.

[@AbsintheRed2019]

Oh, gosh! Rabbit tells the best stories, and the dancing with the glow sticks- so cool! And Hatchy's just the cutest thing! Also, The Spine seems to be loosening up a bit; it's so nice to see him getting his groove on. :D

[@iEmmie83]

I've never loved a band as equally as I do SPG. All their characters are so terrifically diverse and so lovely. Even Steve and the Walter girls are just too cute. This is just such a wonderful group of people that found each other (well I guess it was sorta forced for David and Bunny but back to the point) and they are making really great things for the world to enjoy. So much love for all of Steam Powered Giraffe~ ♥

[@Howtoeatrocks]

help i ripped my chest open now what you never told me what to do post that i mean i could go to hospital but that costs a lot so now what

[@nadiaharris5284]

HE SAID TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM!!!!

[@Eban11235]

Have to say, I prefer this version to the one on the album.

[@homosoftommorow]

I love hatch worth's voice so much.

[@Snail-Head]

I'm gonna use this as an excuse of why I'm wierd. "You're so wierd!" "no,no,no,no! I'm not wierd, I have Hatch Fever!" XD

[@discordant_staticx]

LadyPatience-Best. Excuse. Ever...

[@rabbitos]

I really want to see these guys live someday ; u ;

[@dragonlord5665]

If you're in the states, specifically driving distance to California, they have a show in Bakersfield on the 7th!

[@rabbitos]

Sadly, I'm from the east coast of the US xD If they ever do a show in NYC, Philly, or somewhere else like that though, I'd be there in a heartbeat!~ ^^

[@rabbitos]

Ooo. I've never been to Michigan, but it looks like it might be close enough. I'll bring it up with my parents. Thanks for the heads up!

[@RadicaHannah]

They'll be in Schaumburg, IL for DashCon in July. ^_^

[@SquigglyGhost]

RadicaHannah Anime Midwest in Rosemont, IL, actually. DashCon would be nice since it's closer, but oh well =\

[@emlovespantobots5137]

I'm gonna miss hatchworth :(((

[@emlovespantobots5137]

But good luck to Sam and welcome Bryan ofc ❤️

[@averyolson6903]

The American KZbinr he left the band

[@averyolson6903]

The American KZbinr it's really sad 😭

[@acoolguy3299]

Wait wha? Hatchworth is gone ;~;?

[@rebeccabowen6829]

this story that bunny is telling is HILARIOUS!! DONE!.... DONE!...said Hatchworth!!....

[@codibear8383]

I think I've been watching this video over and over for the past 3 hours

[@emilymiles4113]

I love rabbit, both then and now. What a cutie. Keep on going, girl.❤️

[@Missticou]

Wow, Hatch's voice is incredible...

[@LilithTheCupcake]

Lol Rabbit's rave dancing is awesome

[@solomongarland6994]

Loved Rabbit and the Spine doing the back to back bit! Brother and sister duos hell yes

[@Nitynat]

love the drummers face when he misses the "knocking" que and realises. priceless :D You guys rock

[@c0re889]

"Open up your chest cavity!" L A W S U I T

[@mergear5582]

hatchworth is a dorkasaurus! I love it!

[@qokl8skeight]

I wasn't sure what to think of Hatchy. Then I saw this and now I think he's just as frickin adorable as the twins!!!

[@WatchfulEyeArt]

Though both versions of this song are great, I find myself enjoying the live version a bit more. The increasing volume of their voices makes for an entertaining and expressive delivery, and the break about the chest cavity is hilarious as well!

[@tiffygirl101]

Excuse my while I go cry at this. I love you guys so much.

[@thehaveninthehand]

I love Sam's voice! Also, the way he's excited when he sings "open your heart to me" makes my tummy tickle :D I like the unplugged version more, though, because he seems to sing way more effortlessly in it.

[@geloofinmolko]

I love it so much. The livestream was great fun! Rabbit's dancing. The harmonization. Hatchworth is so funny, love the skit! A good time.. come on everybody prepare to get catchy!

[@cocolossal69]

Rabbit just seems to eat everything, utterly cracks me up 🤣

[@tanadeboer1260]

FAAAAARRRR! This always makes my day

[@ZedcoProductions]

Well, thanks! Probably one of the reasons that I love these guys so much is for their puns!

[@spgiraffe]

2012. My mistake :)

[@cheshirekittinz17]

I just want to thank (steve, or whoever edited) for editing out all the screams and laughs, I was at this show and it was loud! Awesome turnout for the 8pm show. I can't seem to get this song out of my head, so listening to it now (and not from 'someones" cell phone) was very refreshing :D Keep up the good work Guys!!!

[@pixlmagician]

David and Bunny's genuine smile during this song make me so happy, haha. Hope to see you guys in Michigan this Christmas!

[@garlicsaucespill9482]

I feel like hatchworth never got his robot moves down but I still love him 😂❤️

[@buffwaldo2100]

his robot moves were not that good but he had the voice to pull it off

[@usedshoelace8205]

I can't stop re-watching the first minute.

[@JayBassman]

This song has grown on me so much, I feel like I'm catching Hatch Fever all over again! Massive props to Sam on the way he's completely and utterly become Hatchworth. Every time I see a new video I see huge improvement on the way he moves, vocalises and sings. I can't wait to see more :D

[@jameslawrence8073]

It would be really cool if they did a song like this for zer0 on the newest album.

[@Chimonger1]

Steam Powered Giraffe has gotta be one of the more fun groups in a long time! Music, too!

[@OnyxGamesOffic_]

Oh my gosh!! That is HILARIOUS! Rabbit is SO FUNNY!! I had rewinded the video just to watch that part again!

[@Leo-bj8sz]

Hatchy`s "FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" is just killing me 🤣

[@MentalSymbiosis]

Wow! It's astounding how much Hatchworth has grown as a singer and an actor! Fantastic work from all of them.

[@cowcannon8883]

I love how the audio follows the person

[@StopMotionStardust]

This was an amazing introduction to HatchWorth :)

[@mollymoonthorn]

I couldn't help but smile my way through this, I guess I caught Hatch Fever :)

[@elwynbrooks]

Hatch's signing voice is amazing, his energy adorable, and I just love how he says friend-o! I guess I have a severe case of Hatch Fever!

[@penguingogglez]

Amazing music

[@Skyril2]

Good heavens, every single time I watch this video, I HAVE to watch Bunny and the Spine side-by-side in the beginning, and then Hatchworth apologizing, and every time I watch that part, I laugh so much. >.< I love you guys. :]

[@therobotwolf]

Oh My Goodnes Sam!!! Those high long notes are SUPERB!! David! Bunny! Your opening is so AMAZING!! All of your voices meld so well! I LOVE THIS SONG!!! P.S. Bunny what are those lights?

[@bloodfurycon]

i just love the way he sings his first line and has such an amazing voice it didnt seem like he would at first glance XD

[@YourWifeyLuLu]

Great show when I was there! Hatchworth gave me chills all the way in the back :D !

[@Raemanzu]

I'm SO GLAD to be able to watch/listen to a clearer recording so I can catch more of the lyrics and expressions. I think my love for this song just doubled.

[@TheatreGeeks18]

I finally watched it with the cc on. It was pretty hilarious.

[@soulurge6621]

Anyone still watching this amazing music

[@zeeweiss4556]

I love steam powered giraffe the are my favorite band ever!

[@babylonprojectillustration2014]

"Me too, friendo." *inhales deeply* Awwwwwwww!

[@monicaf.5105]

i liked the jazz hands :P

[@ScienceintheSound]

I have watched this so many times and only now connected the dots. This is live. My mind was just blown. SPG is amazing!

[@N7xKaoru]

This is like my 20th time watching this video! Hope one day to see you live!

[@bulleTStormfan109]

This made my day, thanks to you Steam Powered Giraffe. :)

[@jikani13]

You guys are so adorable! I wish I could see you live once in my life.

[@WaldorffLobster]

I wish I could have been at one of your shows to witness this, this is complete and utter brilliance, you are all so unbelievably talented, please keep doing what you do, you all are life savers. 🙏❤️

[@tinywitch8051]

I love this. I love seing people with their own universe. Our world is so boring, we need more people like them, to add colors.

[@Whispy360]

When I saw this on the SPG tumblr my response was whispering "yesssssss" over and over again. Now to watch it!! I'm so happy, this is one of my favorite SPG songs :)

[@LittleMissJesse]

These shows must be amazing to see, I can't wait to attend one.

[@pinkuparfum]

I love the sound quality on these videos, especially this one. Smooth like butter~

[@9til5wizard]

I get up every morn and listen to this song and no matter how bad I know my day could be or how bad I slept...I feel the fever and get prepared to get catchy...In simple terms it makes me grin like a maniac.

[@Nilnocydoc01]

This song has been stuck in my head for a considerable amount of time now

[@justsototallystyle]

I just love this song. I love it so much. It makes me so happy.

[@deadhead7360]

I love how Hatchworth peeks out from behind Rabbit and The Spine before his cue XD Ever since I found out about SPG about a year ago I've been obsessed!

[@menschfreund]

The combination of their voices is fascinating me every time.

[@BeenieBomb]

This was probably the best concert that anybody could have gone to ever. I wish I was there! :D
