[@freakfoxvevo7915]

Another fun fact about the bumper song: it was actually released in 2003. The premise of the song is that he's apologizing in advance for all the mistakes he's inevitably gonna make in 2004. I think Todd gave it the funnier context of Ruben just apologizing for 2004

[@heymistercarter.]

⁠@@freakfoxvevo7915and what’s weirdest about the song: that was Ruben’s lead-off single from his debut album. Not the Coronation song he did from winning American Idol (that was Flying Without Wings), but his debut, non-Idol-related original song. AND, it’s the first song on the album too. Like, whose idea was it to make THAT the song that’d introduce Ruben as an artist? I can’t really blame Ruben for it, since he didn’t write the song (it has FIVE credited writers though), but that’s quite a way to bungle someone’s mainstream career to have that as a lead-off single.

For those in the US who got tired of hearing "Someday" on rock radio in 2004, imagine what it was like in Canada. Here we have Canadian Content requirements for radio stations stipulating that at least 50% of all content aired from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM MUST be from Canadian artists. Nickelback counted as a Canadian artist, as did all of the bands inspired/developed by them. Mid-2000s rock radio in Canada was DIRE. If you wanted to escape to a pop radio station, you got flooded with Nickelback there too; I've had times where I checked four of the biggest radio stations in Winnipeg, and ALL of them were playing the same damned Nickelback song.

[@shawnfields2757]

Marlon Montel Higgins Yeah, I know, Drake was an actor first, THEN he became a rapper, I've seen like 2 or 3 episodes of Degrassi, when I was younger. I didn't really care. It seemed like boring teen drama. Drake is still one of my favorite rappers despite his quality shifting all over the place. Sorry for confusing you, dude. I would say eamon is a bootleg Drake, and I stand by that. Even though eamon debuted first, barely anybody remembers him. Drake, is a great rapper who sometimes makes a lot of shitty songs, but is still a good rapper. I think his best song was Take Care. I think it's great. It's been relatable recently, because like the song, I keep trying and trying because i want to be with this girl and be there for her, but I keep getting nowhere. I met this girl 3 years ago, and we hit it off. I was trying to help her from being bullied, and I suggested we talk on another video. Which is what we did. She even gave me her number too. But, 2 years ago, I broke my phone and lost contact with her. But, 3 months ago, I tried texting her to apologize, thinking she wouldn't say anything back again, but an hour later she did, and we'd been talking again like before. But recently, like last month, she knew how I really felt about her, and she felt the same way for as long as I did, 2 years. But, she said she wasn't mature enough to be in a serious relationship with me. She said i should expand my horizons and try talking to other girls and see how my chances with them would go, which sounds like a joke to me, because I'm ugly, fat and a nerd. What kind of a girl would date me? She said she didn't want me waiting for her for another 2 years or the rest of my life. I asked if there was a slight chance we could be together, and she said maybe yes, we could be together, in some future. But, for the last 3 weeks, she hasn't been talking to me. I don't know why. She's probably finally had enough of my bullshit. I can't blame her for that. Maybe something happened, maybe her phone broke? Maybe she changed her number? Maybe she's on a trip and her phone doesn't work there? I don't know, maybe I'm just giving myself a false sense of hope. It's too bad. I really thought THIS time, she WAS the one for me. But, like before, I was wrong again.

I know I'm not the first to say that, but the thought just popped into my head, while i was watching the clips of that eamon idiot. I've also never been to or lived in Canada. I've only really lived in Las Vegas with my mom for my whole life. I still live with her because I've got epilepsy, so I can't really get a job or have a car. It sucks, but epilepsy doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I've had it since I was 15, so 10 years. It also caused me to drop out of high school, in 2012 though. But, I'd become so sad that year, I didn't even FEEL like going to school anymore. My best friend, Brandon forgot I existed because once he got a girlfriend, he completely forgot we were best friends. I'd known him since 6th grade. He was a nice dude too. But I guess when your friends end up in relationships, you can't have friends anymore. I mean, we lived at the same apartment complex, so, he came over to hang out everyday, not just on weekends, but after school too. We'd play Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and I'd win every time. It was fun, I saved our replays, and we'd make our own crappy stages, with crappy descriptions. He even helped me through higher difficulties on other games. The very last time we hung out, he was helping me through Devil May Cry 4's Heaven Or Hell difficulty. But once he got that call from his girlfriend, I never saw him again, and never finished DMC4 on Heaven Or Hell. We also moved that year, so I didn't even get to say goodbye. I also remember when the song Take Care came out, I was listening to the radio, and when I heard it, I immediately knew how good the song was. I discovered it at the right time, right when it came out in either 2011 or 2012. I had the CD too. I am trying to take it easy though. I asked her if we could still be friends, and she agreed, but like I said, 3 weeks in a row of her not talking to me. I thought I'd finally found the right girl for me, and maybe I'd finally know what love was, and what having a girlfriend would be like for the first time. I'm honestly and seriously thinking of just giving up on love completely at this point. I've been rejected a lot over the past 18 years I've been interested in girls.

Things I realized/remembered watching this again: 1.) Eamon actually did an Italian version of that song called “Solo con te,” and I have no clue how I found it, but it makes the song way more listenable because he plays it as a shattered man waxing poetic about his lost love instead of a 12-year-old who just learned to swear and thinks a date is when you hang out with a girl at 7-Eleven after school 2.) I dodged a LOT of bullets as a kid by latching onto the local modern rock station, which played everything that was going on in alt-rock/punk/indie EXCEPT post-grunge. So I never actually heard a Nickelback song until after they were starting to finally go away, and I didn’t even know “The Reason” existed until I saw this video back in the Bliptv days 3.) That said, I did hear OF Nickelback for the first time in 2004, because my cousin said he was going to put on Nickelback in the car to annoy my other cousins. Even back then, even with elementary school-age children, Nickelback was a complete joke.

2004 was the year I was stuck listening to commercial radio for 40 hours a week in the job I had. I worked the evening shift when all stations that offered "no repeat 9-5 work days" could now play songs as much as they wanted. There were many songs that became truly hard to endure, and that Hoobastank song was one of them. The repeated E note of the intro was the sound to brace myself for the torture to come. I dont know why but that song got as much rotation as any song that has ever existed. It didnt help that it made the playlist for almost every FM station too: Rock enough for the commercial rock station, bland and sterile enough for the adult contemporary. Current and poppy enough for the top 40 station. The only station that wouldnt have played it would have been Concert radio as there was no Classic Rock stations then or even any Oldies stations. This was NZ radio in 2004. It was a nightmare. There were other songs that were just as ubiquitous like This Love by Maroon 5 but nothing has traumatised me more than Hoobastanks The Reason.

Ahhh please do more of these, Todd. It's so fun to see music critics talk about older songs, especially the worst of them. Not a lot of music youtubers do this...

[@okagron]

Todd should really do more worst songs of the year for the 2000s, specially years like 2002 and 2007.

[@isabellamorris7902]

"2004 was less than a decade ago". 5 years later, and Todd's claim that 2004 has faded from memory is remarkably prescient. Though I imagine it'll be coming back soon as the early 2000s kids like myself enter their early 20s.

Find it pretty humorous to know Nickleback got to have their songs in not one but two massive super hero films in the 2000s.

[@generatoralignmentdevalue]

If one of the two is "Hero" it wasn't Nickelback. It was written by one guy from Nickelback, and performed by a superband of him and members of Saliva, Soundgarden, and Theory of a Deadman.

[@edwinhiley6281]

That Eamon record is just appalling. Here in the UK it was No 1 for (I think) 6 weeks. As if that wasn't bad enough there was then a supposed 'reply' record from a female artist called Frankee. Apparently this quickly proved to not be a real reply but a cash in using the same backing track (meaning Eamon still made money from it as writer). Ridiculously it replaced Eamon at No 1 and stayed there for almost as long. It was just as bad as the original.

[@TheZenomeProject]

The response track is what makes that whole thing hilarious. I want Todd to do a One Hit Wonderland of this just for him to talk about that. I heard he also made an Italian version of this song that oddly was far more poetic than the original. It's just such a weird little piece of music history.

Christie Beck What, is it impossible to believe that NOT everyone will like the mighty Beyonce? I definitely DON'T. Her music is annoyingly repetitive. Sure, she's made SOME good songs, and she's beautiful, and has an amazing face, (like you) and body, and a really nice voice. But I'm just not a fan of hers. Sorry, but not everyone is going to like the same artists you like, ma'am. It's true. But don't worry, it's just the opinion of lonely, fat nerdy loser like me anyways. Have a great day/night, and remember to stay beautiful.

Beyonce songs before the 2010s weren't first rate, but they sure were at least catchy to listen to like the Jay-Z collaborations like Deja Vu. Beyonce songs nowadays, though, yeah, they are nothing at all. *cough cough* Feelin' Myself feat. Nicki Minaj

[@kgldude]

That smash cut to "Especially Gudda Gudda" is comedy genius.

[@rabidhog4912]

I know a lot of people probably don't care, but eamon has improved a lot over the years. After fuck it, he spiraled down in a cloud of mental health issues, bad luck in money management, and drug abuse. And his debut album was a headache and a half. But he came back in 2017 with much needed maturity and really good music, such as "be my girl". He then put out his next album, golden rail motel, which is a really underrated project. He grew in pretty much every area he needed to grow in. He started to sing about confessions, love, and soul instead of fat asses. Then he released an ep in 2019, which has a really good song on it, "step by step". I honestly recommend both of those albums for a listen, I think they are great projects.

@@sunnyquinn3888 Let's hope it does. Nothing lasts forever, ESPECIALLY the bad stuff. It just takes, ironically enough, some more time. How much time? Who knows? But things will get back to normal eventually; dude. People we'd never get back to normal after y2k, after 9/11, even after as recently as last year. But no matter what, we always stuck together, as people, throughout all the bs we had to deal with. We may not know RIGHT now if time as we know it exactly will ever go back to normal, but I think it will, you just have to believe. Probably a bit corny, but I still think that's true. Nothing lasts forever, even the bad things. The annoying lockdown didn't last forever. Don't lose hope, my dude. We'll all find a way to get through it, we just got to stick through it, and never lose hope in ourselves, and not let the bad things happening right now, get to us, and focus on the positive things, and improving those, good sir/ma'am. Like Caddy used to say, "remember to stay beautiful".

[@sunnyquinn3888]

@@shawnfields2369 Thank you, I really needed to hear this right now. I'm going through like, all the problems rn, but I know things will get better, we just have to hang in there until they do. Yeah, life never did go back to being exactly like it was before 9/11 but we stuck it out through that time together and eventually reached a point where at least it didn't feel like a constant crisis every single day.

[@shawnfields2369]

@@sunnyquinn3888 You're welcome, glad to help. I hear you. I'm going through some rough problems, you're going through some rough times too. I mean, I've had epilepsy AND type 2 diabetes for years, and the epilepsy caused me to feel depressed for years; and caused me to drop out of my senior year of high school back in 2012, when I was 18. I mean, my best friend stopped talking to me once he'd gotten a girlfriend, and quit coming over to hang out so we could play Smash Bros.Brawl, but I never hated him for finding a girl and not hanging out as much, but me and my Mom did have to move out because, her ex crazy ex tried to kill her one night. Didn't even get to say thanks or goodbye to my best friend there before we left. But like I said, nothing lasts forever, ESPECIALLY the bad things. Bad things may come and go throughout our lives, but if we stick together; as a group, we can find a way through them, I promise. It may seem like what's happening right now is potentially and possibly weighing down on us as a society, but we can't let that get to us. We have to keep going, and not letting some stupid lockdown or disease get to us. Sure, 9/11 was a massive disaster that rocked the world for years, and is basically like a scar. And scars take time to heal. Sure, some of them never heal or fade, but they do eventually stop weighing down on us, as people, because we don't let it get to us, we stand together, as a people, as a society, and we always will. Whether it's 9/11(which is 4 days before my birthday), or any kind of terrorist attack, we won't let them beat us down, as a society of people. Sorry to hear you're going through all the problems, but I promise, things do heal with time. And in years from now, we'll be sitting down, talking to our grandkids and their kids, about how worried we were back in 2020, and 2021, and 2001, but how we overcame things like that, and stood together as people. Even hearing about my Grandma's death in 2019, from my Dad and his brother, didn't get me down, and while I wasn't there in person to say my goodbyes to her, my Dad and his brother were. Me and my Mom weren't there because my Dad and my Grandma, and his brother all live in Delaware now. But I'll never forget what my Grandma did for me as a kid, introducing me to the world of gaming, getting me the n64, when I was 3, and me and my Dad playing Super Mario 64 on it, good times. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be a gamer in the first place, so she'll always have my eternal thanks for that. But I 100% agree, 9/11 may have changed how the world works, but we didn't give up, we all stuck it out together, and life became better, and things didn't feel like everything was falling apart, but getting better than ever before. And I'm sure we'll stick together through these "pandemics", and we'll become together, even closer than we were back during 9/11! Not a guarantee, but I'm sure we'll all be just fine! Thanks again, and again, good sir/madam, you're welcome!
