Watsky- 100 Words You Could Say Instead of Swag

[@flair541]

Can we get "100 Words You Could Say Instead of Bae" now please?

[@pinkmpheles108]

sugartits

[@matthewcross8347]

Moist foof

[@the1exnay]

bae is mostly dead so it is a moot point, but i would be interested to see a list of even 1 alternative word which means exactly the same thing

[@flair541]

Firaro Soul mate.

[@the1exnay]

+flair541 thanks. though i think bae has a less strong connotation. soulmate implies destined for each other and presumably destined for marriage or similar. whereas bae simply implies they are the most important person in your life at that instant and includes with it no implied commitment from the other party but "Soulmate" is very close, not as catchy, and more creepy, but pretty close.

I think it was a cover for "youre the shit"

[@bigtheorymusic]

@@slaymyface1357in the original he said "you're the tits"

[@cowsbeflyin2428]

​@@slaymyface1357the line in the mixtape version is "You're the tits"

[@michaelhutton6392]

"You're so slamming, that I would say you got pogs." Let it be known that in the Year of Our Lord 2012, George Watsky invented poggers.

[@Jarvalicious]

That’s so pog

Thank you.

[@TheLeeLee]

I love Watsky's lisp. He's so unique, and he brings hip hop back to poetry. I mean, of course this one is meant to be silly. I've just been flipping through a few of his videos, and he definitely has a new fan.

[@gingerdanny]

you had to mention his lisp and now its all i can hear whenever he sings. you have ruined watsky for me

[@marvinthemartian4044]

​@dannydotbw2415 that is so fxxking simple-minded 😂. Go check his poem/video "S for Lisp"

[@Zadamanim]

2:20 he's more than half way through time-wise and less than halfway through number-wise... he's gonna have to pick up the pace! 2:30 DIDN'T THINK IT'D BE THIS FAST!

[@milliexo1936]

i’m still wishing for this on spotify 9 years later

[@natasha675]

I seriously can't comprehend the fact that Justin Bieber is more known than Watsky.

[@mysticflow467]

ok

[@GameSmilexD]

bieber is commercial

[@neon7557]

3:25 did Watsky unknowingly create the "floss"

[@Quonzer]

I guess this guy has those moves like swagger.

[@MidnightBudi]

I just randomly started to remember this song and looked it back up. Hilarious and great

[@zahirakhan6228]

honestly same

Holy shit Watsky discovered the dab in 2012 3:42

my favourite bird is a swag pie and my favourite pie is a swag pie, it's a coincidence

[@tybransford7732]

if watsky did some songs with spose, my ears would orgasm and create a new universe. i really hope your reading this watsky, because you and spose would go great together. youre both lyrical geniuses.

[@levimiller4643]

he did nobody with spose

[@andrewgonzalez7143]

lol I'll be honest, I really did hope for "swagger" at the end. it has been a real word.

Used this in an ELA lesson today. Love this song.

[@charajones2253]

Oh geez.... Is your name gentry?

[@andrejones8834]

Chara Jones Why would my name be Gentry?

[@charajones2253]

Just a hunch. My teacher played this, so, just asking.

[@brianogle1119]

He opens up with a culinary lesson, he's in a science classroom, he sings about history and English... What does he teach?...

[@JamesCPotter13]

Brian Ogle i see your point, and raise you George Feeny.

[@TheHovhannisyan]

The fact that Watsky could even come up with so many elaborate and creative synonyms to "swag", and give them rythm, proves he's a lyrical genius

[@josephpatino37]

3:34 I love his continued rambling on about swag to the point his voice cracks xD

[@TristanMor]

I'd love to be in this class

[@Will3823]

i love how eminem rap god is a suggested result on the side ahhaha

[@Ella-jk7rq]

Does Watsky remind anyone else of Moriarty? No? Ok...

searched for this comment haha

[@anasings1108]

OMG YASSSSSSSSSSS

[@MegaPixelPerfect]

Is it just me or does the word Legit at 1:09 sound really really different than the rest of the song?

[@OliverRobertson123]

Iced Insanity Really? I thought it was just a joke on the word legit as it was a "legit" audio recording

[@BringerZan]

I'm sure. The original lyrics were You're the tits. It isn't a joke.

[@OliverRobertson123]

Iced Insanity Ah. I prefer this version to the linked version still

[@anadultvirgin7474]

Oliver Robertson Damn right

[@MrZane777]

Oliver is right. It's the legit audio before there was any editing at all. It's not because he says you're the tits.

[@shadowgarra360]

is it just me or does jim moriarty from sherlock BBC look kind of like Watsky and vice versa?

[@edasaner7496]

omg you're right

[@grahamsjobby6751]

Ralix Tanner OMG 😱 i never nocied it before!

[@residentfacehead3465]

At 1:21 he looking like Riddler

[@nomielpenguino]

my favorite is "You're shaped with flair like a rhombus"

This is so amazing. Best video on KZbin to me.

[@Voz1337]

[@Dragin410]

Voz CS I really doubt Chuck Norris has only seen one youtube video. Psh

[@yuh6094]

1:10 what the FUCK is up with the word legit

[@noahjacobs9851]

it's a censored version, and for some reason they had shittier recording equipment for that version

[@Qril]

it was apparently "you're the tits" and censored :P

[@kainbren]

it was originally the tits but it's been censored

[@asdgfasdgf6053]

I thought it was that way to make a jab at auto tune.

[@SchneiderAndAndropov]

yeah i always thought it was a joke... you know like if something's legit, it's real, and it kinda sounds like they changed the quality to make it sound like it's NOT real... know what I mean? sorry, it's hard to explain xD

[@hannahemerson7521]

i completely forgot about this video until today and i am pleased to still remember the lyrics 🤩

[@davidbudhram6839]

[@TranNguyenThanVo]

woops,sorry :(

[@LeoWolfish]

This song should be higher than any of Beiber's songs. Just my humble opinion of course.

[@consvolt-void]

I love how "You're legit" is recorded on a different and worse mic.

[@rilijohnmichael]

I remember this with different instrumentals.

[@phatasticpat5374]

Same, I remember a very different version. Sucks as I preferred the old one. It also seems like the lyrics were re-recorded. Timing seems off, somehow seemed faster before.

[@anisah6089]

what a nerd I love him

[@TheSteelamerican]

I always say swagger instead of swag. Cause swag is just fucking stupid.

[@peircethehedgehog123]

Atleast swagger has a meaning, and is a real word. Swagger is a confidential style of walking or talking, or something.

[@christiandifrancia7445]

Mason Wheat a word invented by Shakespeare, a character Watsky played in an epic rap battle of history! its a small world after all

[@ZebConcepts]

I say peter parker

[@ryanlatimer3109]

Mason Wheat so with that definition, can't swag be a singular term of swagger, relating to a present tense? it's just a derivative of an actual word.

[@TheSteelamerican]

People say it too much to where it's annoying to hear

[@CupcakeMinecrafter]

the way that this changed my brain chemistry as a child

[@WhatIsGoingOnEreThen]

1.5x speed is really good...

[@ncheelz28]

what's with the audio on "legit"

[@LeoNardo-wm7ug]

It's filled with swag

[@Fairscottway]

The audio is legit.. Thats the joke!

[@LeoNardo-wm7ug]

No, it was pretty swag

[@Mace3713]

This is the censored version, on the dirty version he says "You're the tits"

[@nory3268]

The point of the audio being like that is because it was the legit original recording. At least, that's how I interpret it.

[@ImMeSoEatCake]

my problem with this song is that now I know bieber lyrics and I'm not sure how to feel

[@trevboy98]

[@Dannystet]

Such a classic video, brings me back man 🤦🏻‍♂️😭😭

[@YAOES]

I used to love this song, and the older I get... the worse it gets. I feel like George of all people would understand that language exists to convey meaning, and therefore there are no bad words, if everybody knows what you mean.

[@theultimatefreak666]

It may be true that communication is the primary purpose of a language yet he is a musician and thus is aware of the lyrical possibilities a diverse vocabulary grants. This diverse vocabulary can only be utilized if people still understand the different words so there is some tragedy in losing words (and if all words for "cool/hip/nice" would be replaced by swag as they were in youth-language for a while that would be quite the hard hit) I mean there's a reason eminem reads the dictionary, there are words that you wouldn't use (or would utilize different) in a normal conversation without which some tracks don't work (and that isn't only in rap although with it's heavy emphasis on the lyrics compared to more melody Based genres it is very noticeable)

[@YAOES]

This is basically “Old Man Yells at Cloud” but like 20x more cringe. I know he probably didn’t expect this track to change anybody’s mind, or at least anybody that mattered, but he used a genre pioneered by struggling people of color to talk down on slang created by people of color... like... bruh. Slang has phases, and swag’s was a particularly short one. Don’t complain about it, just wait like 3 years and it’s gone. Complaining about slang, even as a joke, is cringe as fuck. This is basically no different than complaining about people wearing saggy pants. He sounds like an elitist asshole. I love Watsky. His 3 most recent albums are phenomenal. X Infinity is my favorite album of all time, and literally saved my life. This song has aged terribly, in my eyes.

[@Emz092]

Alex Arana Swag is also promotional items you get for free at conventions.

[@Metalicrock_]

swag is derived from william shakespears word swagger. Shakespear invited the word swagger for one of his plays.

Alex Arana I like that you used it just to stop your cousins from saying it around you. Well played.

Why do they take out "legit" in all future versions of this song and make it sound weird at 1:08?

[@8bitatomgames839]

Jax Spade Well in this version, I think it might be for effect. Because of all of the common use of "legit" by 12 year old gamers and whatnot. Other versions got changed for marketing reasons I'd assume.

[@Wolfhiez]

Points all around, thanks people
