Wet Hot American Summer - Higher & Higher

From Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp performed by Chris Pine
I do not own this clip.

[@whokilledreno2079]

Chris Pine is a legend for this. He saved friendship with his song.

[@jackjansen4704]

I love how they all start singing even though it is a new song.

[@jordanmcquay9077]

Good for you, you found the joke.

[@biphazeic8275]

Dont forget McKinley suddenly knowing the bass riffs lol

[@danashoshana]

And the main question is where the sound coming from Eric's electric guitar. 😂 Higher Higher 😁

[@jesseludvigsen8995]

The chorus was in the first movie

[@mrkyburzy]

The song has always been inside of them

[@filmsagainstempires1388]

"He saved friendship with a song!"

[@themaybatatter]

Watching this for the first time was the greatest moment of my life.

[@maxwellmortimermontoure7274]

It gave me chills while laughing

[@american11asshole]

You didn’t watch the original first?!

[@stevescott3735]

Same bro, same

[@NexxtGames]

anyone else binge watch the whole season in one night?

[@mynamesjudge]

Nexxon Yep. Plus the movie plus the behind the scenes. Good shit.

[@onlydavidwould4356]

Nexxon Definetly. I think the show was better than the movie

[@zerodark666]

Yep, movie and season last night. Today only the movie but I'll watch the season again in the next week

[@mynamesjudge]

J. Abraham Barrios Check out the behind the scenes is you haven't. It's about an hour long and there was some great footage.

[@zerodark666]

mynamesjudge I'll look for it ;) thanks

[@vipadventure]

Chris Pine commited so much to his role as a rock god that it sends shivers down my spine when I watch and listen to this.

[@squamish4244]

The way that the entire cast of mostly 40+ year-olds straightforwardly pretended to be teenagers was pure win.

[@jasonpeters9716]

GenX baby

[@juvanasoliven3388]

The music of wet hot American summer is unironically so great. So many hits: higher, heart attack love, champagne eyes, I am a wolf you are the moon, dinosaur song… just all of them.

[@tijuanaiguana190]

Zoot suit lol

[@crimsonsully5270]

Chris Pine is the rock god we need, but not the rock god we deserve.

[@TkyoSam]

This song is the best thing I've ever heard in my life

[@James_MacX]

This was my favourite part of the movie in the first place but so so happy they brought it back for the series, with the addition of Pine's vocals and it actually making a bit of narrative sense

[@ZNearX]

James McSweeney So what your saying is your favorite part of the movie was the whole movie? Cause it plays throughout the whole thing. Or are you talking about the talent show part when the huge gust of wind happens?

[@James_MacX]

Sorry yeah, and the satellite lands and all of the stories converge, I mean the instrumentals are one thing but that's when the lyrics kick in

[@muhmmadshahid0949]

D

[@jitsujedi]

Lol, narrative sense? I'm sorry but Ima have to disagree with you there. The movie and show make absolutely no sense at all, which is one of the many reasons they are so amazing.

[@Bonestorm1990]

jitsujedi exactly!

[@christianjcancilla]

Best moment. I honestly get chills at 1:35 where he hits the second chorus. Such an amazing ending to the season. Perfect song for the franchise, and seeing it come to life in this sense was so cool!

[@FatalMasamune]

Friendship is the only way to end the tragedies of our past transgressions

[@anthonypeipert5011]

it's not everyday when you see a legend being born

[@werdle92]

This was comedy platinum. I cant believe it wasnt a bigger hit.

[@andrewdonovan2770]

Chris Pine's vocals are sick. this show was awesome. Connie became a fox (mighty ducks reference).

[@ghoulbeansz]

This just makes me like Chris Pine even more 😂

[@mattmuldoon1544]

Why isn't this the most viewed video on KZbin?

[@theMcWOPPER]

Cause there is stuff more popular

[@gxfan039]

Chris Pine is such a cutie! He has the singing voice of an angel!

[@daynamorris2399]

Yes and I Am The Night is awesome

[@darnbreath]

that's not his voice but craig wedren's

[@the1bitz124]

No its Chris pine the original was Craig wedrens

[@lexi219]

Chris Pine's voice is freaking beautiful

[@darnbreath]

that is craig wedren's voice.

[@criddlegakes2650]

No, it's Chris's voice. Craig Wedren recorded the original version for Chris to sing over and then edited the song with Chris's vocals over the top. Chris sang it live. Craig Wedren details it himself in his interview with AV Club.

[@kittypurry5896]

so this man can sing like a crooner and can be a rockstar too.. wow

[@MrTaylorj19]

i keep watching this video it sounds amazing. i wish they could make a full version of the song with chris pine singing it :)

[@wyranahm3210]

Josh Taylor Hi! Look and listen here (in You Tube): "Higher & Higher" (Eric LIVE! Edit) - Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp (2015)

[@sstlouis]

He should perform this at the UN

[@daynamorris2399]

Preach it!

[@TheDman182]

David Wain is a genius. Knows how to make amazing comedy moments but then also make great moments like this

[@Zagardal]

This is still a comedic moment

[@dexdorrey9834]

he saved friendship with a song

[@stefmanbegins]

Another night but my mind can't seem to sleep The morning light puts the fire back into me I'm wide awake But afraid to open my eyes... I clear my head, my own worst enemy But in my heart I need the truth of victory The hand of fate is now a fist as it Rises to the sky Show me the fever Into the fire Taking it higher and higher Nothing to fear It's only desire Taking you higher and higher We are not Camp Firewood or Camp Tiger Claw (higher, higher) We are all.. (Camp People!) C'mon now, sing! Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh oooooh Higher... Higher Show me the fever Into the fire taking it higher and higher Be a believer A spirit igniter Taking it higher and higher Ooooooooo oooooooooo "He saved friendship with a song!"

[@matmurk8536]

Literally one of the best moments of my life was watching this for the first time

[@JeremySolo]

He saved friendship with his song!

[@JaggarZF]

The full version has finally been written. The State lives on!

[@kimwolf2831]

I want a full version of this song so badly!

[@sungyultaylor1354]

The music in First Day Of Camp was EPIC. I know the show is a comedy but they wrote some awesome 80's style music.

[@dipman785]

Damn, Pine's got pipes! Great fit for this song

[@darnbreath]

it was actually craig wedren's pipes.

[@handlemchandlehandle]

When that iconic string rif kicked in I actually teared up. Weird that a nonsense movie could mean so much.

[@PosDad]

This is my favorite moment in the whole series. I rewatch it just to get to this scene. Then I go on KZbin and watch it 100 more times. HE SAVED FRIENFSHIP WITH A SONG.

[@WheresPoochie]

My future campaign song.

[@stevescott3735]

Such an epic scene but I think Michael Ian Black oh the bass is my favorite part. Dude is so into it

[@zai.90]

These lyrics so accurately desribe friendship.

[@toris-story]

I was so satisfied watching this scene...best part of the whole series!

[@kyle1137]

This show was BRILLIANT

[@Hawth712]

I love that this song is the one that is playing in the talent show in the original movie. It gives it that kind of full circle feeling for me and you don't see a lot now days. Kudos Mr. Show!

[@ConcreteSurfer420]

Bradley Cooper is a beast on the drums!!!!

[@NathersJones]

DJ Ski Mask is a beast

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

he crushed it.

[@joaovictor3312]

+ConcreteSurfer420 its probably a double

[@lucasM005]

João Victor Castro no shit sherlock

[@EmsiDes99]

It wasn't Bradley cooper his schedule was wacky so they put in a double in the mask

[@antoniopicon6724]

Almost 10 years later and still praying this will be out on Spotify one day

[@andrewbrenner9134]

Best moment in TV/Movie history right here.

[@celebrityrog]

This song really needs to exist in full and be released on radio and clubs. Even some remixes for dance jazz and others.

[@non_brewed_condiment]

0:23 is one of the greatest McKinley moments. We always wondered what he had to do at 11am but now it's clear someone had an appointment with Dr. Groove

[@non_brewed_condiment]

This was such a stupid joke. But I stand by it

[@triumph2992]

I want to download an actual version of this song, with the new lyrics, no talking cut in.

[@SuperJelbo]

IKR.

[@mwomacque]

truly a special moment in entertainment history. thank you for camp firewood, and to all those involved!

[@ghoulbeansz]

Camp tiger claw.

[@RossMcIntyre]

This is the best part of the whole series

[@Moscow-si8tm]

I say “We are not camp firewood or camp tiger claw, we are all camp people” to myself probably once a week

[@kamodo101]

This was the best moment in the series.

[@lifeofwesvlogs9159]

Just finished watching this show. This scene was awesome! *headbanging*

[@The_EvC]

This should be a full song, so I could play it everyday until I die.

[@walkerrowsey4804]

Man... 7 years later and it's still not released as a single.

[@MothraCaused911]

There's only 8 episodes watching all of them at once is so worth it! This is by far my favorite comedy show.

[@daynamorris2399]

I could listen to this song and never get tired of it

[@non_brewed_condiment]

I've watched this so many times KZbin puts it on music playlists

[@maximelf]

I clear my head, my own worst enemy, but In my heart I hear the drums of victory! Think that's it

[@rubenvanegmond2808]

I wish they made a version with Chris pine without the talking through it

[@EmpireSun]

we need this song in 2020 more than ever

[@matthewcarey3148]

This is the greatest thing Chris Pine has ever done. And Josh Charles, and Paul Rudd, and whoever Katie and Michael Showalter ere.

[@Unqualifiedmedicalperson]

They should do a "camp reunion" series, when the cast members are in their late 60's and their characters are in their 30's

[@denyshernandez505]

AleqsH they announced a season 2 for the show on Netflix

[@ChristmasPartyNoob69]

They did one where the cast is 40 and the characters are 20

[@cabrat]

That 3-way viking hand shake kills me everytime

[@robertneves1116]

wish there was a clean version of this song with all the lyrics without the actors talking... i cant be the only one that wants this on their workout playlist lol

[@ExploringAndMe]

awesome cant wait for ten years later season

[@terrybrass]

01:08 When everyone joins in ::chills::

[@johnmahon674]

Sneak preview of the D&D movie with Chris as the bard

[@mecha217]

I hope this isn't the end of Wet Hot American Summer, give us more days of camp!

[@denyshernandez505]

mecha217 season 2 has been confirmed

[@shimanpike]

I was waiting for this the entire season. When it finally happened I got up off the couch and keep saying "it's happening". It was like the red wedding all X10.

[@tellif1667]

Flippin love this song from the original and even more with Chris Pine singing it.

[@ZacharyRader]

each episode just got better and better so good

[@CEJRAID]

I want this version on Spotify.

[@frmacleod]

I play this once a day. Release the entire track dammit!

[@slidingrock]

this is literally the first of Chris Pine ive ever seen

[@everlastingspirit223]

Love this song!!! I just saw it on Netflix, and I love the series. And now want to watch the movie!!

[@jstdun]

kayla marshall This is one of the rare scenarios where I think it is better to have seen the sequel (movie) first

[@gregsanchez2481]

kayla marshall you shouldve watched the movie first!

[@ZNearX]

jstdun There is no rare scenarios. Its a rare scenario to see any kind of prequel first. Star Wars is a good example of this. Should always watch the prequels after, not before.

[@everlastingspirit223]

jstdun Ohh well, I didn't really know of Wet Hot American Summer was even movie, until I watched this on netflix, and then looked it up.

[@bigboss9150]

+kayla marshall How you doin', Kayla?

[@DrWh1teCat]

I feel like the only one who REALLY showed the 15-year gap between this and the film was Micheal Showalter.

[@evaerhardt1317]

i think it makes it all the better too

[@StreetLore]

STILL GREAT!!!!!

[@EmpireSun]

One of the best shows ever.

[@alleyalley5110]

love 1:35 when he sings higher higher favorite part. but i do love the whole thing :)

[@Gabagool101]

“In the end, we all bleed red” lmao great line

[@Black2295]

The full version of this song is on Craig Wedren's Soundcloud!

[@bradbackman3]

This.... This is what needs to happen to end the hate in the world, this song. "What are we doing? All this fighting... It's not gonna change anything anyway.Deep down we all bleed red" "we're not so different after all..." "WE ARE ALL CAMP PEOPLE!"

[@wonderemporium6094]

The best franchise of all time

[@YTW-rw6pr]

please please please make season 2!!! #wethotseason2

[@zerodark666]

Hell yeah! Wet Hot American Summer: Second Day of Camp (Electro City Boogaloo or something)

[@KainAbyss]

YTW2015 they cant stop there, that summer could go on forever

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

KainAbyss I agree.

[@vegasbabyWaHOO]

+laz2thedouble Theres a 3 month gap between the movie and the show so I can see 89 other days of camp.

[@srayj]

I'm excited for the 10 years later, but it could be fun if they went back to camp again for 4th of July because if their first and last days of camp were this crazy, just imagine the hijinx that would ensue on a holiday with fireworks as a primary source of entertainment.

[@jlshinky123]

Victor’s dancing is amazing.

[@Mattwav]

this was a great ending! it always gives me goosebumps

[@lifeofwesvlogs9159]

I just finished watching the second season (ten years later) and while it was good, it didn't have an awesome moment like this.

[@sark76]

I wish so bad there was gonna be another season! I love Marino!

[@ZNearX]

There is gonna be one. Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later

[@Saints1317]

Holy fuck man. You just made my day.

[@ridiculous2ks671]

There making another movie in 2017. I wish it was a T.V. series though

[@ZNearX]

Collyn Perrucci it is gonna be another tv series.

[@Pineyboo123]

do you think eric is gonna be in WHAS again ?

[@adamheeley6968]

I love how this wraps everything together so well

[@gymclasshero32]

He saved friendship with a song

[@gonset3771]

Te lo Resumo brought me here.

[@mikeangelo94]

It's about friendship!

[@Quixoticelixer009]

This song made my life.True story.

[@advillan]

be a believer a spirit igniter takin it higher and higher

[@AthenaPMiller]

This show is the shit. I watched all of it in one day. I haven't laughed so hard since the first time I watched Archer.

[@TYLER_RAY_]

He saved friendship with a song! 😂 that had me dying Idk why

[@nospeedboundaries]

This song has no business being as good as it is

[@alexeicole6021]

Chris you so amazing

[@bradenpenn4102]

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

Real friendship is singing this with your battle buddy in a zoot suit.

[@cajunboi4888]
