Theo Katzman - You Could Be President [Official Video]

[@wyattdozier8456]

And here we are, realizing how painfully relevant this song still is all over again. I always appreciate Theo's ability to capture the moment perfectly when I'm at a loss for my own words.

[@CoryWongMusic]

BRO! LOVE !!! ❤️

[@alanm304]

Bring him to Dublin in February too ✊

Hey Cory

what did you mean when you said love?

[@jmeleika1]

Just when you think you've seen Theo do it all, he pulls out a slide.

THAT. WAS. KILLER.

Todd Rohrer oops you’re right. None the less both have some tasty slide playing

[@KevinEveryDay]

Little known fact: the record-setting density of Vibe in the studio at the time caused Theo Katzman and Four Fine Gentlemen to nail this on a single take. Scientists still to this day are utterly perplexed by the immeasurable depths of their collective pockets.

[@JaySuschrist]

I'm not going to research it, but I will 100% believe that to be fact. 👌

[@lockedowng]

I'm doing that already! Kids love it

Right with ya. Nothin’ like hearing the 4 year old demand Funky Duck and Animal Spirits when we hop in the car.

@@ecbfilms001 Thanks for the kind words man. If you're interested, yes there was VulfComp on a lot of this. I grabbed a screenshot of my 2-buss on this mix you're welcome to check out, just as an example: drive.google.com/file/d/1TpgYIc3swSFgNTflZb8LfJQe5LfeYAUu/view?usp=sharing

not only is this real damn catchy but the mix is 👌👌👌 so satisfying

[@JaySuschrist]

Yes, yes it is!

[@BiggerPink]

Oh man yes. Seconded. Such a complete sound. Also not a note wasted or stepped on by someone else in the band.

[@cpjds1]

Seriously...the gritty/chunky guitar is nasty and oh so satisfying.

[@bennyelsensohn9299]

Yeah! Exactly my thoughts! The piano sounds so punchy that it gives it that mean rock song vibe

[@fingtwice3633]

agreed!

[@Justbirdperson]

That piano blew me of my chair, damn

[@tim72575]

Lee Pardini is underrated on the keys for sure

[@JaySuschrist]

Absolutely agree. It hit me hard when it came in. So perfect.

[@jamiebridson7871]

I searched for this video just to see the piano solo again. Pardini is ace.

[@bangbanggrind]

[@Austin_Rummel]

It’s cool how he mixes in bars of three and it sounds so natural. I didn’t even notice for a while.

[@toatrika2443]

Sounds more like bars of two to me

[@1_out_of_10_dentists]

Could you please tell me what that means?

[@Austin_Rummel]

@@1_out_of_10_dentists Most western music is comprised of measures or bars of four beats. You can count 1, 2, 3, 4 and each "one" feels heavier in a way then the other three beats. The snare drum typically gets played on the 2 and 4. You can look up good videos on the topic that will explain it better than I can. What Katzman does in this song is occasionally have a bar of only three beats. At these parts it feels wrong to count all the way to four. Sometimes when you use metric change there's a danger of sounding like either you're only using it to kind of show off, or very clunky and repetitive, but in this song it feels very natural. Jake Lizzio at Signals Music Studio has a great video on the subject titled "Understanding and Using Odd Time Signatures". An example in this song is the first "momma" falls on a "one" beat. You can count to four twice, then you can only count to three for the next measure

[@jessevandendoren]

That piano solo is absolutely killer

[@JoshuaSurufka]

Dude, if this was anyone else, i'd say it's unbelievable, but coming from you its completely believable that it would be this good.

[@jakemullen7477]

Daniel Calvert I was like, wait is that mills? Or maybe Derek Trucks?.. nope just Theo getting nasty with it.

[@busterladestangen]

The amount of tiny details from all band members boggles my mind. It shows how playing an instrument is one thing, gathering a handful of masters of their craft into a studio makes something entirely different
