I'm A Member of the Midnight Crew - Eddie Morton 1909

[dragonairlover]

indeed, who IS this douchebag?? jeeze, will we EVER know??

[alexinanutshell]

Oh god people are STILL talking about Homestuck on here.

[MisterSynyster]

Is in Favorites right next to Smooth Criminal. I dont remember if this is a coincedence or not, but am i lovingly thankful

[TheLoveJynx]

Love the song although its faster than the homeestuck version

[Iluvmakara]

wait the midnight crew was real in the 1900's?

[MisterSynyster]

@Iluvmakara only on Derse

[luvkirby4ever]

@Iluvmakara the Midnight Crew was something made up for Homestuck, but the name likely came from here. As far as the song goes, he made up the term "Midnight Crew" as a swanky way to say "Night Owl". I think that it was creative and makes a hell of an awesome name, personally, though there was no actual "midnight crew". He's talking about the night owls who chill in the bars and stuff.

[Iluvmakara]

wait this is a real song? hmm catchy 

[Andreus]

ii can't help but fiind thii2 performer'2 mu2iical 2tyliing2 vaguely appealiing

[noodlesthebunny]

Unamniam909: well this " douchebag" happens to be a good musician!

[Zombie2300]

@noodlesthebunny He's referencing Homestuck.

[lasong2000]

0:54 0.0

[lethraxin]

@lasong2000 Slowed down and heartbeats added, yep.

[rhgzrhzrhz]

Gentlemen! BEHOLD! THE ULTIMATE HIPSTER! That guy loved Homestuck before Homestuck's creator even existed!

[statusisaway]

@rhgzrhzrhz There is clearly no superior. We must bow to this glory.

[Robloxian201]

So the Midnight Crew existed sinse the the 1900s?

Man Spades you are old!

[exodiathecoolone]

I wonder...is this in the public domain, or do I have to pay a dead man, or someone who didn't have anything to do with creating this song before I can listen to it?

[cocoaviolinist]

@exodiathecoolone it is in fact in the public domain! all works created before 1923 are.

[Raichumi]

Ah back when music was good and catchy.

[Wheeneshx3]

Make her a member of the Midnight Crew!

[lava1o]

the sound is good for the things they had at that time ,and the song is pretty good

[juditheria]

Dang, this is actually pretty cool

[Montork]

i miss the midnight crew, where are they now?

i fucking love you boxcars!

[Oskonomikal]

@Montork

Troll's Midnight Crew - Dead (Spades unknown, presumably dead along with the rest of the universe)

Beta session - Dead (Except for Bec Noir)

Alpha Session - All alive (Jack stabbed Dream Jane and absconded, CD killed Jake and blew up Jane's tower, DD and HB presumably on Derse going for Di?? Strider and Rofl Lalonde)

[Montork]

@Oskonomikal so sad. at least some of them still exist.. and i suppose for every universe there will be a midnight crew... i just wish we could know more about them.. they are the whole reason i started homestruck.

thank you for the recap... i can be hard to keep track of everything.

[forger343]

@cthulhlu Right? Vaudeville was the bomb.

[cainmilesfriedjelly]

now that is a REAL gang

[cthulhlu]

I cant help but fell that the decline of vaudeville is a loss for humanity as a whole..

[MrScratchDoctor]

This is a lovely song.

[greywow]

Nice voice, Spades.

[unaniem909]

Who's this douchebag?

[cthulhlu]

i wonder how he'd fell if he knew that this song would be listened to by twenty eight thousand people over a hundred years after it was recorded..

[ThexOriginalxGoose]

@cthulhlu ...and mostly because of an interactive web comic

[DeathDefie]

ROOOOOOOOOOCKETSKAAAAAAAAAATES­

[Konata101]

Oh my God, it's real.

...oh my god. LOL

[GkThA1]

Why yes, I did sing this to audition for my school's musical.

[lethraxin]

@TeoGirlsOneCosplay @Cherrydreemz @Fomortiis0 @Aresftfun @Shiggityshiggityschwa @xoxshootinstarxox @anonomous1324 THIS IS STUPID

[generalJWJ]

Good old Eddie sure showed those rappers who was the boss. I'm pretty sure he could take on most of today's rappers without breaking a sweat too :P

[SportaTiffany]

There were Rappers in 1909? 

[Invalidpoint]

@SportaTiffany It always sounded like "robbers" to me. At any rate, I assume it means the same.

[SportaTiffany]

@Invalidpoint Yeah, I thought it was Robbers too....but all the lyrics I look up say Rappers. Eh, doesn't really matter. I was just curious

[Kasek126]

I've been looking for this for ages! I figured Homestuck didn't make this song up, it sounded too happy to be the Midnight Crew's theme.

[RachMacwhirter]

Could the two children in the comments section please stop fighting? I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is a public domain song.

[IMMAPIGMASK111]

Stop complaining about homestuck deal with it you faggots

[goldenhorus]

THIS SONG IS GOOD.

[TheBullMoose95]

YOU STOLE FROM VICTROLAMAN!

[iDiskostixx]

@TheBullMoose95 Check out those original comments once in a while, it does a body good.

[MadiMoogle]

I got here from Homestuck-related things as well, and as much as I love Homestuck and MSPA, I love this song too. So shut up and enjoy the damn song. :D

[Xx1nat1xX]

@MadiMoogle HEHEHEHE YEAH I'M WITH YOU IN THAT POINT....( :B

[nnnn124]

@MadiMoogle same here

[animestalker93]

Homestuckies everywhere :I

[Aresftfun]

@animestalker93 Hahahahaha Humanity. So silly.

[xoxshootinstarxox]

Just because I found this song because of Andrew Hussie shouldn't affect how you treat me. Or anyone else for that matter. We're both here for the same reason: to listen to good music.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@xoxshootinstarxox

That's fine, i just don't see the need to put rude comments down, as I saw earlier.

[KonanBlue]

Does it matter if you liked it before Homestuck or not? You should be happy it's reviving this lovely music, and not forgetting it.

<3

Thanks Slick, Droog, Boxcars and Deuce.

[deathsaparty]

Anybody know where I can get an MP3 of this? iTunes doesn't seem to have it and I think feel that this is practically the anthem of all insomniacs. I must own it.

[kimera117]

@deathsaparty Dude, its ok! Use youtube catcher or DVDvideosoft free studio. -w-b

[Bluecho4]

Perhaps Homestuck will create a ressurgence in the popularity of vaudville. It's certainly made esoteric vocabulary more popular.

[1337CSS3]

I don't intend for anyone liking this comment, I'm just putting my "vote" if you can call it that - I learned about this from Homestuck, fell in love with it... saw it in the album, fell in love with that one equally (maybe just a smidgen more <3 for the new one).

I don't mind people who prefer one version over the other. I /do mind people who assert that one is objectively better than the other.

[44GamerNerd55]

OK really, I first heard about this song from homestuck, and I am a fan, but SERIOUSLY! It has gotten to the point of spam! Yes, this song was remade by the music team, but that's just cuz Hussie's a cool guy. Stop the spam and stop hating on homestuck. THIS IS STUPID

[AdorablyRotten]

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A REAL THING UNTIL NOW

I'd thought the Midnight Crew and its theme was a completely original thing to Homestuck. It's kind of awesome to learn it was actually based on a real old vaudeville song. Nice!

[Scratch495]

@AdorablyRotten Actually, Andrew didn't even know about this song when the the Midnight Crew became a thing, but Radiation showed it to him and he thou was pretty neat.

[AceForever4265]

I love this version and the version from Homestuck <3 Fans of both.

[TheHiddenJinx]

Erk, even if though I'm a Homestuck fan, people really shouldn't be fighting over whether or not to be annoyed by all the Homestuck comments. Homestuckers, might wanna tone it down. 'People', as I read in a comment, don't be so mean to the Homestuckers.

[KirkFetkovic]

“The Eddie Morton” 1 bottle Whiskey 1 bottle Sweetened lime juice 1 bottle Macallan Scotch

Combine in shaker and strain into cocktail glass. Serve. Garnish with pickled asparagus.

[IHasTheRabies4Yaoi]

Haha, okay, all HS jokes aside this is really awesome! I love music from around this time! <3

[fj81191]

Before long, we'll be bitching about the comments that bitch about the comments that bitch about the comments about Homestuck. THIS IS STUPID

[xxARASHIFORDREAMxx]

pretty much all the comments now are all "omg homestuck fandom stfu" Do you all really have to post such unnecessary comments? I mean there's a comment right under yours that says the exact same thing.

[Sonoskeakigawa]

@xxARASHIFORDREAMxx They feel they have to be the ones to say it.

[MykeFerrell]

This is a song that could actually go with the Webcomic "Lackadaisy". Screw the Homestuck fandom.

[ProblemsInNumbers]

@MykeFerrell Err, it's not a commodity, Homestuck doesn't have "dibs" on the song.

[BlockisticStudios]

@MykeFerrell

no fu

[AmerikanRejekt]

@MykeFerrell As much as I love Lackadaisy, I love this song that much more attributed to Homestuck.

[einootspork]

The "Shut the fuck up Homestuck people" comments are way more annoying than the Homestuck comments will ever be, JSYK. Cut it out.

[Krashy]

Why are you people freaking out so much? It's not THAT great a song. There's countless early 1900s songs like this. You're only bitching to be contrarian.

[xXAspennXx]

Homestucks. There is no furry child porn here. Look elsewhere, and stop spamming videos with your stupid overrated shit.

[milkredbull]

@xXAspennXx 0/10

[AmerikanRejekt]

@xXAspennXx What the fuuuuuuuuuuck are you talking about? :I

[Rainbowfox24]

I love homestuck but seriously guys shut the hell up, it got unfunny after the first comment, it's also disrespecting this wonderful classic singer. You guys wanna spam it with homestuck, make your own video and do it on that. =A=

[WalkInMyPawsteps]

I love Homestuck as much as the next guy, but seriously fandom.

Shut the fuck up.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@WalkInMyPawsteps

amen, let us pray

[Chasitythefangirl]

Homestuck fandom jfc stop being so embarrassing

[CheeryChan1243]

Dear Homestuck,

Shut up, nobody wants to hear about how you came here because of your stupid webcomic. This is an actual song and you're all acting like ignorant douchebags on it.

Sincerely,

People.

[milkredbull]

@CheeryChan1243 Complication? 

[AmerikanRejekt]

@CheeryChan1243 Dear People,

We recognize your grievances and will meet you with two birds flying low (see: fuck you).

Your grievances will be filed under "Couldn't Give a Shit," or "You're Only Propagating More Bullshit with Your Bitching"; whichever file sounds better to you.

Sincerely,

Someone Who Hates Both Parties.

[MetalSonicFangirl]

..I brought myself here.

[DWSimmy]

This was all recorded in one take because if they screwed up they'd have to start over O_O

I've got nothing against multi-track recording, but these musicians must have had unimaginable patience.

[Ebvardh]

Cool that Homestuck brought us all to this cool as hell song.

[Eightbitotaku]

That awkward moment when I'm also here for Homestuck.

[MidnightSun308]

Here for Homestuck.

[RaeOwlRay]

Terezi, this is very appropriate!

[MysticFlame360]

The Black Queen sent me.

[HomuraHeart]

I'm here for homestuck fault.

[OrangeRevenge]

@Thrawn369 That is true, Sollux obviously has double the amount.

[FizzyMilkyway]

yeah guys, i love homestuck too but why leave the comments here.

Javabava uploaded the song that is from the flash so that video is actually related to homestuck and it's in related videos. why not comment there? Uuuuuuuuuuu ;-;

[Thrawn369]

@FizzyMilkyway

Hopefully we aren't seeing Bing Crosby videos being spammed with "Who's this douchebag?"

[Fomortiis0]

@Thrawn369 Who's this douchebag?

[Trogdorbad]

Thanks to Homestuck, I must find this 78.

[AkatsukiCerberus]

I don't think Slick would let you become a member of the Midnight Crew to begin with.

Unless he wanted to use you as bait or just to kill you.

[whensuddenlyaMANKEY]

Homestuck: exposing a new generation to oldies since 2009.

[OrangeRevenge]

@SollaceLux Yeah, you're right, Terezi grew a penis and balls jsut to jizz herself over this gone then.

[Thrawn369]

@OrangeRevenge

Troll reproduction is weird, and they're possibly hermaphroditic (with the dimorphism being a necessity imposed by their pre-Scratch form). It's entirely possibly Terezi has a penis or homologous bucketgoopositor in one of her reproductive regions. Presumably her spade-bucket-peen is terrifying to behold, befitting something she'd only inflict on her kismesis.

[XLR108]

@Thrawn369 I doubt that. otherwise they wouldn't have genders at all :>

[zerosvc2]

Note to uploader- it's "I made six ROBBERS run", not 'rappers'.

[plottwist13]

. . . Spades Slick would have to be high to actually enjoy this.

[Penningtontj]

@plottwist13 Except he hates the "her" in his context.

[bigbane500]

i approve

[aylaeberly]

And everyone here is a Homestuck fan ;]

[cherrydreemz]

WHO'S THIS DOUCHEBAG

[SollaceLux]

@cherrydreemz This.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@cherrydreemz

He's Eddie Morton

you stupid Homestuck morons wouldn't know.

you just worship andrew hussie's ass, you do anything he does. you like anything he likes.

You are Disrespectful.

[wytwolfchan]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay I actually have a lot of the same interests as Hussie, so I do enjoy all of the fun references he uses in his comic. Nothing wrong with that. I liked these things long before Homestuck was made. I think it's great that someone who's as weird as me is making something I enjoy that includes all of my likes and dislikes :)

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@wytwolfchan

Really now? you liked Eddie Morton, before the stupid comic updated?

[Shiggityshiggtyschwa]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay It's just an inside joke from Homestuck, we do know who Eddie Morton is. :l

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Shiggityshiggtyschwa

Yeah, and it's a rude one.

[Shiggityshiggtyschwa]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay You're just being oversensitive. All celebrities get made fun of.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Shiggityshiggtyschwa

He's not a celebrity. He's a performer, that sings music.

And there's a difference celebrities these days have no talent, make millions doing absolutely nothing, not to mention different generations too.

This is from 1909, not 2011. It's over 100 years difference, you can't compare them .

[Shiggityshiggtyschwa]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay He was a very popular performer. In his time his face was instantly recognizable. That is the definition of a celebrity. Whether he's comparable to modern celebrities is subjective and irrelevant - all celebrities, all public figures are inevitably the subject of scorn, just as they are also the subject of praise. You really just need to get over it.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Shiggityshiggtyschwa

This matters? No, the point i'm defending was, not to put rude comments

[Shiggityshiggtyschwa]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay Of course it matters. You were trying to say that he was somehow above other celebrities - I am telling you, as much as I love his music, that he is not. All celebrities are joked about, even the great Eddie Morton. You can call it 'rude' or 'disrespectful' until you're out of breath, but you just look like an oversensitive moron. Learn to appreciate a joke, especially when it revives interest in a performer that most younger people were not aware of.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Shiggityshiggtyschwa

I feel bad for the person who posted this video, he's getting major spam.

And fighting over it on the internet Is lame as is.

I didn't know It was a meme or a joke.

All I know is that it shouldn't be here.

[Fomortiis0]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay you realize you're the reason he's getting major spam

you're fighting over the internet

it can be here if it wants

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Fomortiis0

Look at the earlier comments, then talk to me .

[Fomortiis0]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay I did, and from what I've seen, you started it, broham. And your sarcastic remark on it being "mature" to put a meme here is contradicted by the fact you actually used a meme in the sentence just before it. Now let's enjoy the music <3

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Fomortiis0

Using big words doesn't make you smarter.

[Fomortiis0]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay Are you really whining about my use of "contradicted"? Do you not know what it means?

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Fomortiis0

Yes, that's exactly why.

[anonomous1324]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay

Relax, they do know who he is,

"WHO'S THIS DOUCHBAG" is just an inside meme, I'm certain they don't mean any disrespect.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@anonomous1324

Yeah, sure. Alright.

[Aresftfun]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay Calm yo tits.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Aresftfun

Mature, very mature

[Aresftfun]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay How would it be immature?

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Aresftfun

Okay, nevermind It's 'mature' to put a meme here.

[Aresftfun]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay "Cool.Story.Bro." surely isn't one.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Aresftfun

Yes, you are 100% correct, choose your prize.

[Aresftfun]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay Ideas are not a natural occurrence. They take a text to mark your obscurance of other people and other things, of other ideas and other beings. Maybe it's just a take on reality, maybe it's just a barge from the scantily-made comment of the day! Or maybe it's a reason to stop being a lay. You're probably annoyed at this point, and have been for a while, so I'll take my leave and with it all this guile.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Aresftfun

Sounds good, we should have done that earlier though.

[Aresftfun]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay Also, you forgot your period. Grammar is important, you know.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@Aresftfun

Cool.Story.Bro.I'll.Put.More.O­f.Them.

[cherrydreemz]

@TwoGirlsOneCosplay @TwoGirlsOneCosplay you totally have the right to assume that i am an ignorant asshole, and you definitely hold higher intelligence than every homestuck fan! your opinion and your ~music intellect~ deserves justice, and you have the right to act disrespectful towards me and homestuck fans because we have no right to post on some damned internet video and express our appreciation for the song! you are most certainly not an overheated, narrow-minded douchebag!

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@cherrydreemz Okay.

[TwoGirlsOneCosplay]

@cherrydreemz I don't remember 'WHO THE FUCK IS THIS DOUCHEBAG ' being appreciative towards a song. Clearly, we are both misunderstood.

[NekaWindtail00]

"but like a man, I always bring my little wife along!"

Nicely done.

[OrangeRevenge]

Spades Slick Jizzed in his pants.

[SollaceLux]

@OrangeRevenge I actually don't think SS would like this at all.

[AtomicShroomx]

Toppo, good fellow. Meet me on the roof at twenty past the hour!

[mylightside]

wait, so...

what?

[TheWildSeraph]

Wow. I knew this wasn't going to be an accurate representation of the Midnight Crew that we know and love, but I was still expecting something a little less... cheery.

[GameGal101]

So...

Who came here because of Homestuck?

Pretty much everyone.

[cconroy11]

@GameGal101 well yeah. who else would like this song... other then hussie and *shivers* oooolllldddd people

[BlockisticStudios]

@cconroy11

I like it. :V

[cconroy11]

@BlockisticStudios I ment besides these people and homestuck fans. or, are you not a homestuck fan

[BlockisticStudios]

@cconroy11

i am

[cconroy11]

@BlockisticStudios yeah that is my point

[BlockisticStudios]

@cconroy11

but i don't like it /just/ because it's homestuck

homestuck showed me this

[cconroy11]

@BlockisticStudios how can you not like homestuck

[BlockisticStudios]

@cconroy11

i already said i was a homestuck fan

[RabidFangirlofDoom]

@cconroy11 "It's okay to not like things/It's okay, but don't be a dick about it/It's okay to not like things/Don't be a dick about the things you don't like."

And I'm saying this as a Homestucker.

[TwinArrival]

MAKE HER A MEMBER OF THE MIDNIGHT CREW!

[0LDCH4P]

"Six Rappers Run" just sounds silly.

[SouleaterOnyx]

8luh 8luh ::::)

[4roze4]

I only watched this becuase i though it said "midget crew".
