Paul McCartney Rabbit Hole - Swedemason

[@swedemason]

I'm appreciating the appreciation, thanks all

[@B1G_Dave]

swedemason You deserve way more subs Mr Mason

[@JimmerofOz]

Best thing since Buttery Biscuit Bass!

[@vincentcannata8340]

Where can I secretly get an MP3 of this?

[@TheDarkNikolai1]

Get sharing mate

[@keikoandgilly]

Good to see you on my KZbin again, mate.

[@ricomcpato5266]

this is an absolute marvel of sampling

[@tojiroh]

You can really feel it coming in the air tonight, eh lad?

[@ricomcpato5266]

i can phil it collin in the air tonight

[@kenlieck7756]

Jenny says she's seen you in some pretty tony banks! My comment in reply was you can rather afford it...

[@TheGKFront]

Perhaps you can convince Paul McCartney not to sue him :)

[@DamTheKid]

Eyes very wide watching this for the first time. Give me back my SON!!!!

[@hesgrant]

This actually might me my favorite thing that anyone has ever created. It's funny, cheeky, catchy, fun to listen to, fun to watch, and just all around unbelievably impressive. Absolute masterpiece.

[@swedemason]

Ill take that onboard ta😃

Impressive is the wrong word. That's fucking insane! Best thing I've heard in ages lol.

seconded. I was listening to mash ups on TikTok and had to come back to hear this. nothing compares.

Cus it hits against the narrative player.

[@minrizor]

IIRC, this video got hidden for a couple years and then came back. Whether it was swedemason's doing or youtube's, I cannot say.

[@earthgirdler23]

It's an internet classic

[@maisy185]

This is class. It is so far beyond a mere meme, or a novelty viral tune. It's a masterclass in sampling, comedically clever and a well-written song. This word gets bandied about a lot but is rarely actually applicable: underrated. Underrated as fuck, Amazing work Swede

[@experimentalcyborg]

The masterclass in sampling still holds up 7 years later. ♥ 🎶

[@KainniaK]

Thumbs up if you are still listening to this in 2031 on your crappy ipod nano running on dusty solar panels, amid the apocalyptic landscape after AI triggered nuclear war.

[@Ingestedbanjo]

I keep coming back to this one over the years. I know Masterchef Synthesia and Jeremy Clarkson Beatbox are more popular, but IMO this one is by far and away the best think Swede has done. Not only creating music, but actual, rhyming lyrics. It blows my mind all over again every time I watch it.

[@swedemason]

Thanks. Agreed😊

[@evanroberts3732]

Bloody amazing job I’d say

[@KyunaCookies]

It's an essay on parody and it's perfect

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

Yeah, this is insanely good.

[@MrMWRMWR]

I'd shared this on FB and forgotten it years ago. Now someone just liked it and I've rediscovered it in 2024. Joyful.

[@filipniklas]

Best one you made. Criminally underrated!

[@Earlzo2325]

Beautiful. Simply brilliant. One of the cleverest things I've seen on the internet, you deserve much recognition and success. If they doesn't come though, please take some satisfaction in knowing you've delivered a great gift to a small group that admire your work.

[@martinnotrevealed7910]

Well put, my thoughts exactly. It takes unbelievable talent to put something like this together. SwedeMason really deserves recognition and success.

[@rara58524]

@@martinnotrevealed7910 Unbelievable talent, yes, but also VERY HARD WORK. Wow, that's so much work to research all those clips and cut all those cuts and mix everything flawlessly. Simply amazing!

"Put a donk on it" - Paul McCartney

[@harrynoke6458]

“Bassline”

[@Finarvas]

Hehehe that's sick

[@Boy1dr1938]

I think I've listened to this about four dozen times. The clip integration is so... seamless, everything fits so PERFECTLY. And I'd seen all of the raw interviews before this, so to see them repurposed like this is just mind-blowing.

[@She_Gave_Me_Quite_a_Show-_-]

awesome :)

[@5amJones]

God damn it that was good. I really hope Paul gets to see this. Im sure he would love it!

[@DamTheKid]

if he dioesn't then GIVE HIM BACK HIS SON!!!!

[@TheStuF]

YES! or put him IN THE BACK OF THE VAN!!!

[@gorebrush]

or tell him to bring his toys BACK TO THE CARPET!!!!

I don't think he'd want to sue you, he'd probably fucking sign you up. Class.

[@love_otter]

Dude what the fuck you can't just post this masterpiece at 7 AM, I haven't even had my breakfast yet

[@jamesbrealg]

I'd really love to see Paul's reaction to this if he ever saw it

[@darrensiegel6651]

I really hope he's seen it by now. I just have a feeling he'd like it. And I hope he wouldn't sue.

[@ED-209UHD]

Good luck with that seeing Paul is dead! And has been since 66

Swede, took me three listens to really get the brilliance of the message. Tremendous piece of work. Macka should feel honoured. StJohn.

[@galaxion500]

It got recommended to me again 7 years later, I forgot how great this is.

[@fionobriain1571]

Long time listener, first time caller. You are one of the best editors I've ever seen. I know there's more to your stuff than that, but the way you put things together brings me joy.

[@thewolfin]

LYRICS: I was working in the studio and the bass player, he got the call, y'know come down and do your bass part. So he goes down, he's back up in about four minutes We said, well that was quick, y'know, must've got it in one take he said they only wanted one note, donk and then they put it in the computer (...) It's a tune looking for words I'm a clip reconstituter takin' old video back to the future At what I do, there's nobody astuter one note, donk, put it in the computer I'm getting very into this techno stuff with all the machines and computers n' stuff I'm gonna make up a song off the cuff you don't like it, fair enough The drums, I can play 'em rhymes, I can say 'em Swedemason, that's my name I'm ahead of the game Elaborate production, looking back it was all still done on that little four track now it's one note, donk, have a plonk on that get a bass line sicker than a heart-attack Just one recurring tune, gets stuck in your head like a harpoon Here's your big chance, go on have a plonk he said they only wanted one note, donk The structure of the songs and some of the tricks, technical EQs and all the gimmicks synthesisers and dodgy lyrics People have come up to me and said there is some rumour: I'm dead. I had a sampler by the bed and I just woke up with this tune in my head It was seriously urban, like urban as a fucking turban "I'll be changing that", I said, "wait a minute you won't you know, that's the best line in it" drums and bass, man. What I'm gonna do now is make sure I'm in tune with me little glass near enough Sometimes the drums sounds, they sound a bit poop, poop I-I'll do that again (...) To make things even worse they come in, boof, with another verse I'll halftime the drum machine tell you all about how I've been down the McCartney rabbit hole took samples people'll say I stole but I'm not stealing anything, man I was just doing what the computer can and this allows me to do what I do and if you still don't like it screw you Producers today have so much choice but they're too respectful of my voice You can speed it up, use an effect Swede's got a healthy lack of respect He's a naughty boy, what can I say He's gonna do it anyway He's been studying all those years to go, donk So I got mashed and wrote this song Goes... plonk But what does that mean? It doesn't really mean anything I know what it means... "I wanna sue this guy."
