The Cog is Dead's official music video for "Weird." This song is fairly autobiographical. As a kid with ADHD who had trouble focusing in school and was a bit awkward I got made fun of quite a bit for being "weird." I just wanted to spend my time working on things like drawing, making videos, playing music and acting.
It's no coincidence that I am releasing a song called "Weird" on the same day as the new Weird Al parody biopic "Weird." Weird Al is still my greatest musical influence. As a weird kid I was hooked on his song parodies and his versatility as a musician on his original songs. His music both got me through my school years and also really inspired me to pursue music. Back then I wanted to make song parodies and send them to Dr. Demento (who actually played The Cog is Dead's "The Walking Taco" on his show earlier this year!) When I heard that the movie was being released on November 4th I thought it would be a fun way to celebrate the impact that Weird Al has had on my music career and life by making an autobiographical song about being weird and both embracing and celebrating it! It's great to be weird!

As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD as a child and autism as an adult, this song SLAPS!! I was very isolated as a child because I was weird and I relate to this so much!!

As someone with ADD and autism myself, I relate to this a great deal, and I'm lucky to have people in my life now who are just like me! <3

Ok, so this song popped up as a random video in a suggested play list. It suddenly hit hard. Instant fan.

I'm 31 and just now attempting to structure the way I do things around the way my brain works and not around how I was always told to do things. Take it from me, being weird is better than the alternative of trying so hard for so long to force yourself into conformity that you break. Much love to everyone out there just trying to make it.

I don’t have ADD, ADHD, or anything like that but I’m still considered “weird” and I’m proud of it and this song has helped, thank you❤

First original C.I.D. song I've heard in a while and it's an absolute banger. Plus pretty relatable as someone as weird as myself. Never stop being amazing John.

Grew up with extreme social anxiety, but found a huge passion for working in haunted houses around Halloween time. My social anxiety is still present to a much lesser degree, but three years ago my husband and I started our very own haunt in our small town. It’s non-profit, and fully volunteer based, and we’ve created our own little family of weirdos that I love dearly. It really is so important to find your tribe.

My favorite saying growing up was telling people ,"you laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same!"

Many of us can relate to this song. We weirdos should always stick together.

Steam powered giraffe and The Cog is Dead would be one hell of a crossover album.

Не знаю как ютуб переведёт это. Мой английский плохой, но не надо понимать его. Сама интонация голоса, музыка прекрасна. Заряжает позитивом, вдохновляет и радует.

This randomly popped up on KZbin's "My Mix". Never hearing of these guys before, I can honestly say this definitely belongs on my list alongside songs I listen to on a daily basis. My god this is so good! Embrace the WEIRD!

I am 32 now and love the person I have become but I have ADHD and ADD through Middle school and High school I was not bullied per-say but I could tell that the only reason some people wanted to be my friend was so they could say “I am friends with a kid that takes special ed classes and I am cool for it” this song hits home for me in many different ways. I just want to say I love all your songs and to keep up the great work

ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression here. This song speaks a lot to me as well. Being weird isn't at all bad as long as you can find a way to accept your weirdness even if others can't. It's your life, not theirs. Also I love your music! It's awesome!
