STD Puppet Show - Matt Maggiacomo (Official Music Video!)

[GallifreyanGirl40]

That was a really great song and video. For future videos of you singing, however, show more emotion on your face. It makes the song sound more relate-able and real. Even a simple smile while you sing can make the song sound, and the video look, much better.

-Keep up the great work!

[kitkatqueen]

sold! I'm a bit late but i think this is brilliant!!! :)

[froregon]

A boy in my class dressed up like a condom with a black garbage bag and called himself "Condom Man." Actually, I think that was for a business class and the guy just wanted to advertise condoms.

[kaitlynwithakay]

I'm a fan.

[JordynJitters]

oh my god this is just the best

[thelasthorcruxx]

This is awesome. Just. Awesome.

[ItsCamieSpice]

Matt, can I save this video and use it in my future health classes.... This is phenomenal.

[erisedstraeh1]

I'm such a nerd... I can't quite get past the fact that the lipsynch is slightly off at the end. The visual is ahead! LOL!

[thewhompingwillows]

@erisedstraeh1 Haha, you are correct! Sadly that's a YouTube problem and not an editing problem. The audio was perfectly synced before upload. Bummer!

[notmonica]

Well played, Maggiacomo! Definitely your best video to date.

[maddyniffler]

i would like to go to your std puppet show.

[maggiehanna]

This video is great and now this song is going to be stuck in my head all day. 

[BelleTheStarkid]

I think I'm crying. I also think I'm emailing this to my physio teacher.

[OhItsGinevra]

I learned something ... and it was fun 0.o

[Plottoberry]

I love this so much. I know a lot about STD's because I always took attention in class but I actually learned some new stuff from you. I hope they will show this in schools.

Matt I really enjoyed the video, it is so original and I absolutely love the story you're telling in this song. I think the concept of your album is brilliant, I enjoy it so much when people tell me their stories. Oh one last thing - give the kittens a hug from me.

[ninaelle2003]

if my health class would have had a puppet show instead of a powerpoint presentation i think more people would have paid attention.

[TotallyTscopeTV]

Those STDs are freaking adorable.

[MeWithAGuitar]

@TotallyTscopeTV Things you never thought you'd see in a youtube comment :p

[sincemarchoflastyear]

AWESOME!

[werewolfluvr119]

I loved this song when I first listened to it and still do. And I was laughing so hard watching those little puppets dance around. Very good music video, though! :)

[morange]

That is such a cool video! I was laughing at the little dance that the puppets were doing as they were bobby along, are those the Thinkgeek plushies?

[thewhompingwillows]

@morange Yes, they are! Lauren found them and turned them into stick puppets. :)

[ScarlettWeasley]

I'm singing this now....ALL DAY!!! :D

[feasible]

This is basically just awesome.

[emducks1]

You've taught me more in less than four minutes than any teacher ever has!

[georgeordraco]

This song is going to be stuck in my head for days. Im going to break out in song in the middle of class, and people will think im crazy. BUT.OH WELL

[otakubabe555]

I was kind of really confused at first. And then when you started beating down the std puppets with the condom, I burst out laughing. Wonderful song.

[erni414]

i can see the day when someone watches this in their health class clearly in my head. and it will be epic.

[thewhompingwillows]

@erni414 I cannot even tell you how much I want this to happen. Please let it happen!

[erni414]

@thewhompingwillows if i still had my old health teachers emails, you know i'd be pressing send right now... but i don't.

[ISnoggedHarry]

LOL omg I was wondering how the hell this was going to be made into a video. This is quality. :D WORK IT, MAGGIACOMO. <3

[thewhompingwillows]

@ISnoggedHarry Haha, thank you. :)

[allshalldelight]

Eeeeep I love this song and the video! Excited to hear the rest!

[emmfan09]

This even sounds what I imagine 1994 sounded like. I mean, I was only 3, so, to me, 1994 sounded like grass and dirt. But this. This is good.

[thewhompingwillows]

@emmfan09 This song was directly influenced by Weezer's blue album, which was released in 1994. ;) Thank you!!

[nlm2nd]

@thewhompingwillows In 1994 I was a newborn O.o

[apandaforamanda]

I love this video and this song and this everything and AHH! SO GOOD! Those plushies are adorable and your use of them was perfect! Great job! This made me even more excited to get your album now!

[thewhompingwillows]

@apandaforamanda Thank you so much! :D

[bookwizard7]

'bother bother' those STD's away!! :P

and at the end i could just imagine Lauren behind you with those puppets! lol

great video! can't wait to get my hands on this album :P

[thewhompingwillows]

@bookwizard7 I would list Potter Puppet Pals as my greatest influence for this video. Except they are 100x more professional than I am. haha. Thank you! :D

[Medea37]

Perfect way to celebrate the end of this hell of an application. It's impossible to stay stressed out when there are adorable dancing STDs on my screen. :)

[bombsfadeaway]

Congrats on the awesome album release, Matt! Such an awesome talent- DFTBA is proud to have you on our roster =) CORN DOG BUDDIES FOR LIFE.

[thewhompingwillows]

@bombsfadeaway Thanks so much! It's been such a pleasure working with you and Alan so far, and this is only the beginning! :D

[PeachPlumPear4]

i love the microbe plushies!!! they somehow make herpes look cute :D. glad you put them to good use. the video is great!

[thewhompingwillows]

@PeachPlumPear4 Thank you! Lauren is very talented at making everything cute. :)

[devilishlypure]

@thewhompingwillows But I didn't make those! I bought them and attached the sticks.

[thewhompingwillows]

@devilishlypure But you found them! You are an excellent finder!

[kira902k]

Such a cute video! I love the concept. Also, the song. Are you planning on making music videos for any of your other songs from the album? :)

[thewhompingwillows]

@kira902k Yes! I've hired Sam Harris and EJ to star in a video for I Don't Want To Be Happy. Filming in January! And Lauren and I will be working on a video for the Flower Salad song some time soon. :)

[kira902k]

@thewhompingwillows Hahah, awesome! I am very excited. The Maggiacomos make a good team. :D

[hdonkers]

Thanks to this video I just bought your album :) *shakes fist* dang your puppets being so persuasive

[thewhompingwillows]

@hdonkers Haha, thank you very much! I'm really proud of the album and I hope you enjoy it!

[hdonkers]

@thewhompingwillows Oh I thoroughly enjoy it! I have listened to it a couple of times now <3

[illcoveryou]

This is just a wonderful video. These puppets make STDs look ADORABLE. Dangerous, but adorable. Well done!

[thewhompingwillows]

@illcoveryou Haha, thank you! I hope people don't get the wrong idea. STDs are not so cute and cuddly IRL! :)

[selfwindingwriter]

I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying. The use of the giant microbes is brilliant. Brilliant!

Also: this remains one of my favorite songs on the album.

[thewhompingwillows]

@selfwindingwriter Thank you! Lauren found the microbes on the interwebz. She is a genius!

[selfwindingwriter]

@thewhompingwillows I wondered if you'd seen them at my house. We have a bunch of them and use them as cat toys. Tosche loves playing with polio! ;)

[thewhompingwillows]

@selfwindingwriter Hahaha! That is fantastic.

[thenerdhugger]

So I have a deep-rooted fear of puppets, but I watched this, and I have to say Matt!puppet wasn't even scary at all. So excited to finish listening to the album. :)

[thewhompingwillows]

@thenerdhugger So glad Matt!puppet didn't freak you out! He is a nice guy!

[netsrikb]

Absolute perfection! LOVE! :)

[thewhompingwillows]

@netsrikb THANKS! :D

[suchducks]

this song is so good i can't even deal with it

[thewhompingwillows]

@suchducks :D Thank youuuu!

[devilishlypure]

This was so fun to make and it turned out awesome! Thanks for hiring me to make the puppets and help film it. <3

[selfwindingwriter]

@devilishlypure That Matt puppet is adorable!

[devilishlypure]

@selfwindingwriter Thank you!

[thewhompingwillows]

@devilishlypure Thank YOU for helping me with this! Will you go out with me?

[devilishlypure]
