Bo Burnham - Hell of a Ride with Lyrics - New Song

[NEGEO1]

the original rule of thumb was way back when men could beat there wives... they could use a stick no thicker than their thumb

[thekingdomoffenn]

@NEGEO1

woah, i wonder if he's on about that!

[Gage578]

@xParillox That's a match made in fuckin heaven :D

[sheepdog2c7]

I know it up till the bit about pixar!:D

[thekingdomoffenn]

@sheepdog2c7

[iswimbreast7]

Did anybody else take their shirt off?

[thekingdomoffenn]

@iswimbreast7

I didn't have it on anyway :L

[xParillox]

Bo Burnham Feat. Flobots! Anybody? That'd be fucking awesome.

[thekingdomoffenn]

@xParillox

I'll have to check them out, never heard of them.

[MrMLPMusic]

The funny part is that I consider this average speed.

[thekingdomoffenn]

@MrMLPMusic

clearly a george watsky fan!

[MrMLPMusic]

@thekingdomoffenn somewhere between "fandom" and "worship"

[figgersdoesntit]

I had to pause the video to analyze these complex lyrics XD

[thekingdomoffenn]

@figgersdoesntit

I'm still trying to figure them out months on!

[100shadowprincess]

all i heard was "take yer shirt off" and a buch af fangirl screams for me to know i'd like this vid. is that at all strange?

[thekingdomoffenn]

@100shadowprincess

Whaaat? I thought they were shouting it to me! does everybody hear it... :(

[100shadowprincess]

@thekingdomoffenn Sorry. Im pretty sure everyone does ;)

[geterhero]

What's the rule that he speaketh of?

[thekingdomoffenn]

@geterhero

@CodyKesPranks

something about the 'rule of thumb'

Search it on Wikipedia...

But I'm not sure what it's referring too! possible if you can't sing along, just hum?

[Pry0citerJohn]

@thekingdomoffenn I usually get all or most of his jokes after listening to a song at least 15 times, but I stil dont know what this rule of thumb could reference in his song or other work. I feel dumb :/ hahah

[Mrjaketheimpaler]

@thekingdomoffenn Rule of thumb is something that can be applied to several things. Plants need water to grow, is a rule of thumb.

[Eyulfable]

I love the song itself, but the sound quality of the video itself is a bit off.

[thekingdomoffenn]

@Eyulfable

Yeah sorry, it's recorded from one of his live shows. but it's the best quality out there atm.

He's being making a 'studio album' for quite some time now. and he's not sure whether he's just going to release it for free or through a label...

here's hoping he does it soon whatever he does!

[CodyKesPranks]

What is the rule among the song? I guess I missed it.

[shwiggityshwack]

"Crankin' up this shit to eleven" I laughed so much. I'm assuming that's making fun of "This is Spinal Tap"?

[thekingdomoffenn]

@shwiggityshwack I sure hope so...

Never really thought about this until you mentioned it!

(youtube search: 'spinal tap up to 11' if you haven't seen it)

Epic if it was :)

[shwiggityshwack]

@thekingdomoffenn Alright as long as I'm not the only one who thinks it might be. Was a little worried there that I might be spewing out nonsense. And it was a great movie, by the way.

[blindbootlegger]

Ugh, the girl who yells "Take your shirt off". Where'd she drop her respect and shame?

[thekingdomoffenn]

@blindbootlegger

Some people...

[thekingdomoffenn]

@corbizle117 It's actually 'Nick Gatsby' and in other versions he say 'Jay Gatsby'.

[ParkerSaysRAWR]

This is the first time I've heard this song and I've memorized the first part :D

[thekingdomoffenn]

@ParkerSaysRAWR It's such a fun song to try and learn the words to!

[dakotawing338]

holy shit.......



[wogolfer]

really good! only thing is "Because I'm willing to quit, just kiddin the kid'll keep killing this shit" at 1:43 and "But as a rule of thumb just hum if you're to dumb to find it" at 2:55. but i could be wrong

[thekingdomoffenn]

@wogolfer Changed, Thanks for the heads up :)
