Dan Bull utterly brilliant song your the best

[@luckyprojects7327]

It still wanted to release in 2001

[@NoneLikeJoshua]

Well that was dope. I'm starting to think you've got the perfect voice for mixing rap with vintage music.

[@sweatymilk8590]

None Like Joshua gotta agree, I mean just go back to the you are special fallout 4 rap! I gotta say that was my favourite but this takes its place.

[@thecrazypotato7268]

@@sweatymilk8590. that is exactly what I was thinking old songs, catchy tunes, and nice mucic, mixed with a great rap song is a very great combo especially when it's all mixed with Dans voice.

[@TheGameware]

4 years later and this still easily one of my favourite dan bull songs I've heard in a long time. The composition is just absolutely amazing, the bassline, the drums, the guitar, especially in the first verse paired with Dan's skills just makes an incredible sounding song. AND THE BRIDGE man this song is laced with Joy and there's no other way to put it.

[@Harry101UK]

Daaamn Daniel, this is great! And I'm honoured to be a handful of pixels in the background at 1:28. =P

It took me way too long to realize what unsettled me more than dan’s general look. He doesn’t blink throughout the entire video. He’s always just staring at you and it helps to build the overly oppressive feeling of the video and I Love It

'A bit of rough and tumble is the healthiest sedative / at least it is now 'cause I said it is' is such a great lyric. The manic delivery in that whole section too.

[@devincolborn523]

*"Nothing quite like arrest to replenish the cells."* The sheer genius of that wordplay caused my brain to stall for about 5 seconds. ♡♡♡

[@nicholas9881]

Honestly what impresses me the most about Dan isn't that his songs sound so good (they are) it's that his word play is simply on another level.

[@devincolborn523]

@Zachary Sterling I have seen both of those and enjoyed them thoroughly. ♡♡♡ But thank you for the recommendation nonetheless. :)

[@paramyrrh9475]

I love how Dan perfectly captures the message of the game in his song. Do you be happy in your ignorance or dare to take a peek and see whats really happening.

[@lapatjani3171]

Yeah it's a real dilemma and even though it doesn't originate from the game the question is really interesting and the answer is not as obvious as a lot of people would think.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Oan you believe this is happening? - I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That's me! - Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. - Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of... ...9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick ourjob today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what it'll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! - That girl was hot. - She's my cousin! - She is? - Yes, we're all cousins. - Right. You're right. - At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - You're gonna be a stirrer? - No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! I'm so proud. - We're starting work today! - Today's the day. Oome on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal... - Is it still available? - Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours! Oongratulations! Step to the side. - What'd you get? - Picking crud out. Stellar! Wow! Oouple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! Make your choice. - You want to go first? - No, you go. Oh, my. What's available? Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. - Any chance of getting the Krelman? - Sure, you're on. I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey's always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should... Barry? Barry! All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine... What happened to you? Where are you? - I'm going out. - Out? Out where? - Out there. - Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. - Look at that. - Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you? Sign here, here. Just initial that. - Thank you. - OK. You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! - That's awful. - And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow! Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind, check. - Antennae, check. - Nectar pack, check. - Wings, check. - Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let's move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! I'm out! I can't believe I'm out! So blue. I feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader. We have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. S

[@JMSginoclave]

Really enjoyed it. Took the time writing and spacing the lyrics down to help some semblance of a sing-along by myself. In case someone else has similar aspirations, it goes as such below: [CHORUS01] We only want you to be~ happy. We only want you to be~ happy! And if you, refuse, We won't be held accountable for what, We do to you~ Take your joy! Well, well, welcome; To Wellington Wells! A tranquil town nestled gently in the fens and the fells. Folk flocked from afar, they were fairly compelled, By a desire to repel negative memories' spells; But nothing ever happen, did it? So let me dispel, the tittle tattle, It'll baffle, leave you empty a shell! Clearly unwell, but we've the medicine to better your health! There's nothing quite like a rest to replenish the cells! In the home of debonair gentlemen and delicate belles, Women are feminine, svelte, donning an elegant blouse, While the men are in trousers of sumerian felts, Under double breasted blazers with the trendy lapels. But if you break the legislation, you'll be readily dealt, There's nothing quite like arrest to replenish the cells! So don't expect to be held in a respectable house, Without respecting the house rules, in which we excel; So any petulant whelk-I detect collecting intel- Upon this excellent realm-will get his rectum impaled- As a correction, expelled-and in the distance the yells- Will be dismissed as a mouse-squeaking by everyone else! NAH! [CHORUS01] We only want you to be~ happy. We only want you to be~ happy! And if you, refuse, We won't be held accountable for what, We do to you~ Take your joy! -Oy! Take your place with the wellies and the wastrels! Lace your crepes with a bellyful of brain fuel; Brain fooled! Hey! You could barely call it tasteful! - Buddy!-But-he-bloody-better-be grateful; And take another plateful, straight from the table! Today we're serving up betrayal by the ladle! What do you need to pray for? You're already faithful! All your mistakes have been already paid for! Any deviation from the state will be painful, That's just not cricket - BASEBALL! Make sure if you see a welly acting at all strange, Call us so we can lay laws~! Never mind if I barely can sing. Blame that on the very bad, THING. Moving swiftly forward-AWESOME! To the portion, talking to law enforcement! THIS IS JIMMY, BRITISH BOBBY, HITTING CIVVIES, IS HIS HOBBY. But you've got nothing to fear, If you adhere to the rules that are utterly clear: . Dress to impress . Be nice and polite . Take your joy . Stay inside in the night And the bobby on the beat won't have to beat YOU! Save that for the Happy Few! [CHORUS02] We only want you to be~ happy. We only want you to be~ happy! And if you, refuse, We won't be held accountable for what, We do to you~ Take your joy! Take your joy~! Enjoy your joy~! Taake your joy~! It's the safest choi~ce! An attack of anxiety, as I hang by a T - H - R - E - A - D to sobriety, Why oh why, are we pushed to the margin, by high society, Shoved in the garden, shuffling past muttering crap, As we fight to survive on nothing but scraps! Look and understand, I'm an upstanding chap Nothing underhand, I just want something back! From the upper class, that have got the upper hand on the downers, It's upside down, front to back! But on the upside, Downers are up to get down and they're down to get up Take-a-ticket-to-town, dig-it?-Digging-around To-get-in-and-out quicker than I will have when I've figure it out! Wow! Eureka! We reek of fap, pee, poo; Phew! But at least we're the Happy Few! There's no better place to live in, No better living, Than the land where happiness is a given! Why trouble your mind with decisions? Free will is the benignest of prisons! Take joy, see the light through the prism, Close your eyes and vibe to the rhythm. Listen, that is the sound of serenity; Arisen, sapping downers of energy. Give them, a smack around for their benefit; A bit of rough and tumble is the healthiest sedative! Or at least it is now 'cuz I said it is, And any doubt is a mouthful of heresis. Don't like drugs and you're doubtful of therapy? There's very little help for you now, so the remedy For downers inherently renowned to be menaces, Is a swift kick in the head, oh yes it is! [CHORUS02] We only want you to be~ happy. We only want you to be~ happy! And if you, refuse, We won't be held accountable for what, We do to you~ Take your joy! Take your joy~! Enjoy your joy~! Taake your joy~! It's the safest choi~ce! Cheers mates!

You're writing style is one of the few styles of rap that I like, where it focuses more on the technical writing and skill. Great work!

[@janejackson7107]

I love that half of the song is about taking joy and the other one is all about downing

[@jeusgarcia8597]

*0:00** - **1:27** BEST PART WITH THAT BEATLEMANIA HARMONY*

[@PulseTriangle]

this song kept getting better as the verses got more intense. At first I was like, aw it's not as good as some others. then at the end I was very impressed. nice job DB!

[@keonmerrill1941]

It's a joy! It's a joy! It's a joy to hear these happy few!

[@InfidelProductionz]

I was getting used to the 4 syllable rhyme scheme, didn't expect that crazy switch up.

[@Akumasama]

2:56 Oh hi there, Stupendium!

[@thanosgaming625]

So: Full Mask: Uncle Jack/Wellies Half Mask: Downer/Wastrels Right?

[@UPRUnimeme]

Seems like it, that's what i gathered at least

[@SJohann]

Half mask also seems to be a bobby.

[@thanosgaming625]

Haravata Johann It wouldn’t make sense for Half Mask to be Bobby if he was also a Downer. Which line nodded to him being a Bobby?

[@SJohann]

@@thanosgaming625 In the first half-mask part, he says 'If you see a welly acting at all strange call us so we can lay laws.' Then later he also lists off the rules. Also the two half-masks could be different people.

[@thanosgaming625]

Haravata Johann I assumed the “lay laws” part was referring to Wastrels beating up Wellies, and I thought when he listed the rules he was making fun of Uncle Jack. I’m probably looking to far into it.

[@jorgoslauwereys1532]

Dan Bull never disappoints, from the start to the finish every song he makes is amazing

cheers

This is delightfully creepy as hell. Extremely appropriate and impressive, sir.

This has to be one of the best songs I've heard by you. The genre shifts worked really well Dan! The visuals have to be some of the best I've seen. Amazing job dude!

[@sleepingsnorlax9948]

Another masterpiece by this legend

[@Uber_237]

Thank you Dan Bull! I love this rap and even though this comment is a little too late I want to tell you that this rap inspired me to write a book around a similar premises.

[@CallMeGamer]

I en-joy-ed this video! 🙂

[@danbull]

ayyy

[@CallMeGamer]

ayyyyyy 😁

[@DynamiteGuys]

This video has such an early Arctic Monkey's vibe to it, showcasing local Britain. I love that despite Dan's fame, he still nails that Russell T Davies blue-collar feel in his projects. Love ya Dan, I've gotta see you at another Con.

[@JD-od6jh]

This is peak lyricism, especially the first verse.

[@silvercrow1998]

The lines are so brilliant and amizingly combined with your recorded scenes and the in game scenes, just genius and hilarious as well; I‘m laughing so hard at your expressions, no matter how often I‘ve watched it

[@Aderptus_Mechanicus]

I'm 100% sure Dan is the protagonist in We Happy Few he's gone mad !

[@The-Ragdoll-Wabbit]

[@myrtlemands]

i really love this song it feels like a "real song" idk what else to call it

[@llamapocolypes2875]

I love the 60s lo fi hip hop vibe verry nice

[@ethanbrown5565]

This is such an amazing song! You did such a good job at really grasping that Character and the face paint! I don't know where you got all these costumes, but I want you to know that this is the best We Happy Few Rap I've seen since the Games come out! Keep it up! You're doing incredible!

Dan is horrifying.

....thanks?

Dan Bull that face paint really made it look like a second face on top of your original don’t know if you did it your self but it was really well done!

[@AngelSaintCloud]

Im been literally forcing myself to smile to feel that strange good feeling and its made me forciblly happy. Its kinda like using joy rather then wallowing in sadness. Do something long enough it works as you get better at it. Update: the joy has killed everything but I'm happily eating what I think to be chocolate flavored sand.

[@bgarnreiter89]

Honestly, just spectacular work. Every song you do is better than the last, keep up the amazing work!

We only want you to be happy We only want you to be happy And if you refuse We won't be held accountable For what We do to you Take your joy Well well welcome to Wellington Wells A tranquil town Nestled gently in the fens and the fells Folk flocked from afar They were fairly compelled By a desire to repel Negative memories' spells But nothing ever even happened Did it? So let me dispel The tittle tattle It'll baffle Leave you empty a shell Clearly unwell But we've the medicine To better your health There's nothing quite like a rest To replenish the cells In the home of debonair gentlemen And delicate belles Women are feminine, svelte Donning an elegant blouse While the men are in trousers Of sumerian felt Under double breasted blazers With the trendy lapels But if you break the legislation You'll be readily dealt There's nothing quite like arrest To replenish the cells So don't expect to be held In a respectable house Without respecting the house rules In which we excel So any petulant whelk I detect collecting intel Upon this excellent realm Will get his rectum impaled As a correction, expelled And in the distance the yells Will be dismissed as a mouse Squeaking by everyone else We only want you to be happy We only want you to be happy And if you refuse We won't be held accountable For what We do to you Take your joy Oi Take your place With the wellies And the wastrels Lace your crepes With a bellyful Of brain fuel Brain fooled Hey You could barely call it tasteful Buddy But he bloody better be grateful And take another plateful Straight from the table Today we're serving up betrayal By the ladle What do you need to pray for? You're already faithful All your mistakes Have been already paid for Any deviation from the state Will be painful That's just not cricket Baseball Make sure If you see a welly acting at all strange Call us so we can lay laws Never mind If I barely can sing Blame that on the very bad Thing Moving swiftly forward Awesome To the portion Talking to law enforcement This is Jimmy British bobby Hitting civvies Is his hobby But you've got nothing to fear If you adhere to the rules That are utterly clear Dress to impress Be nice and polite Take your joy Stay inside in the night And the bobby on the beat Won't have to beat you Save that for the happy few We only want you to be happy We only want you to be happy And if you refuse We won't be held accountable For what We do to you Take your joy Take your joy Enjoy your joy Take your joy It's the safest choice An attack of anxiety As I hang by a T H R E A D To sobriety Why oh why Are we pushed to the margin By high society Shoved in the garden Shuffling past Muttering crap As we fight to survive On nothing but scraps Look and understand I'm an upstanding chap Nothing underhand I just want something back From the upper class That have got the upper hand On the downers It's upside down Front to back But on the upside Downers are up To get down And they're down To get up Take a ticket to town Dig it? Digging around To get in and out Quicker than I will have When I've figured it out Wow Eureka We reek of Fap Pee Poo Phew But at least we're the happy few There's no better place to live in No better living Than the land Where happiness is a given Why trouble your mind With decisions Free will is the benignest of prisons Take joy See the light through the prism Close your eyes And vibe to the rhythm Listen That is the sound of serenity Arisen Sapping downers of energy Given them A smack around for their benefit A bit of rough and tumble Is the healthiest sedative Well at least it it now 'Cause I said it is And any doubt Is a mouthful of heresies Don't like drugs Any you're doubtful of therapy? There's very little help For you now So the remedy For downers Inherenty Renowned to be menaces Is a swift kick in the head Oh, yes it is We only want you to be happy We only want you to be happy And if you refuse We won't be held accountable For what We do to you Take your joy Take your joy Enjoy your joy Take your joy It's the safest choice

Took me a moment to realize at 2:10 Stupendiums we Happy Few Song was playing in the background

[@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527]

I've heard this game's been going through a situation similar to Yandere Simulator and Hello Neighbor. Not nearly as dramatic as the former, but going down the same path of overly long debug builds and being too hyped too early leading to an underwhelming product. If anyone here has played the game please do tell what you think

[@VexxExists]

Yeah, I binge played it this weekend, it does have a lot of bugs and crashes occasionally, but in all honesty, I love the storyline that's cleverly leaked throughout, the graphics and art style is amazing, and it's a big game with a lot of open space to explore (and is more like 3 games in one, getting to play 3 acts and 3 different characters which I love). And for such a small developer, they've done wayyy more than I could have imagined and I'm sure they'll patch the bugs soon, so if it's something you're looking into but not crazy for, you can always leave it a while until it's patched and lower in price and try it then-but I do recommend it! (:

[@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527]

Vexx Exists Thanks, I don't have a steam account but if I ever get one I'll probably give this a try.

No worries, it's available on console too (: I believe it's £45 across each platform (:

[@ivancohe1970]

Not exactly. The plotline is amazing, but it's bad NPC's and repetitive gameplay mixed with some bugs makes it worse. However it isn't like the games you mentioned because it wasn't overhyped, the game is really good, but a bit repetitive. The glitches aren't really noticable until later in the story, and the gameplay isn't that bad. I give it a 8/10. I recommend the game.

You make that choice. You can also choose to get shot, that is up to you by your own actions. If you are attacking a federal courthouse you might get arrested by federal officers. Unmarked police cars are a thing. There is nothing strange about it. Of you want to avoid it, don’t attack a federal courthouse.
