@sksnaperules no one in particular. He's talking about himself and sometimes to Kathrine (his wife) but I think the stats are from and average male, not for him spesifically
Hank, you're such an amazing song writer. It's not that I don't absolutely love you comedy and science stuff but I really wish you'd make more songs like this.
i love how you started at the playground and ended at the grave yard but it would have been cooler if you started at the hospital then ended at the graveyard
This has always been my favorite song. it is one of those songs that you always go back to and it always gives you new perspective. this song has gotten me through some hard times.
Hank- keep singing, and stay cool ;)
Sincerely,
Olivia,
nerdfighter since (pretty damn near) the beginning,
@TommyTheNerdFighter Why so?Everything can,to a point,be resumed to numbers or similar mathematical concepts.It shouldn't take away it's(subjective) importance and beauty.
This is how I introduce many people to Hank and John and Nerdfighteria. I show them how awesome this song. I've had it burned onto a CD in my car since it came out. I love it.
i had this awesome song stuck in my head but i forgot what it was called.I remembered "multiply and divide" so i thought who makes awesome nerdy songs.....hank. then google lead me back
@stephanielblaney He's so used to things being 150% since him, John, and the rest of Nerdfighteria are made of 150% awesome. Putting things back to normal seem odd to him.
Runs along the edge of TMI a few times, but that lets you know it's from the 'true' heart (rather than the hope one would want everyone to know one has)
I know I'm a bit late when it comes to watching vlogbrothers, I honestly wish I had discovered Hank and John sooner as I don't think I have met anyone as awesome as they are! This is one of my favourite songs, and I only just realised that it was made on my birthday!! Thanks for making the song Hank and I hope that, thanks to you, I will never ever forget to FTBA x
I can't tell what you're doing in this video. I'm thinking that you're riding a bicycle through a park, probably with a rhinoceros or something chasing you. That's probably why you're singing.
@13CharlieeLouu13 I know, right? You're like, "but, it's a deep, meaningful song." I was watching a comedy routine at my grandmas house. The comedian told most of the joke then PAUSED and looked through the television! When he saw my grandma walk into the room he said, "with a PROSTITUTE!"
Hi, Hank. One of my biggest fears is dying before I'm ready, before it all makes sense at the end, but I always keep this song in mind. I hope I feel like this at the end. I hope I look back at my life, realize I've spent 27 years in my bed, and that there isn't much I would've preferred to do instead.
@alabalacr2 I understand that it is reasonable for a person to be alive for eighty years. I was asking how this was remotely reasonable for Hank, particularly. He doesn't look EIGHTY. XD
@ purelee: then how does fecal waste leave your body!? Are you insane did you ever got to school?! I'm 13 and even I know that you have to poo. And I'm pretty sure you do too, so shut your yap and if you can't do that cuz it's referring to something sexual, then start making some sense!
@TheAnimeKitteh They wern't being serious, you know that right? If you read what the crazy religious person said about masturbation you would get the joke. Purlee's comment was entirely based off that.
Pooing is not a normal part of life. It's wrong, and to say it's natural is to just give in to the lies of society. It degrades you to an animal for pleasure and cheats you out of what should only be experienced in marriage. it also makes a person very, very pathetic. For Hank to sing about it is like encouraging it which I find very harmful to his younger viewers.
