The Universe is Beige (Fun Facts Song)

[EvAlNo13]

You know, you should really put this song on iTunes. I really like it, as most people who've seen it do. Anyway.... I want it on my iPod!!!

1 person was defenestrated

[RietaMatsumoto]

This song is so awesome it hurts. Man, I really hope you won, 'cause you deserved it totally. Facts are interesting and funny, the voice is clear and sounds great to the ears, the music is well played and the video is really great ;w; I don't speak english good so I can't even tell you how awesome this is.

[lovelawnangle]

darn i actually first saw this on december the 3rd 2010

[darkdonkey147]

MP3 Please? :D

[DaDewd]

the one person that thumbed this down must have been the person that lost the bet.

[neuselena123]

sooo, I love the video lots! I think it's great, I keep telling people about it :)

but...I happened to google defenestration, not cos I didn't believe it, but just cos I was interested to see why they were doing it in Prague...in 1618...which would make it 17th century? :/

[domuirgheasa]

@neuselena123 Rest assured, the history student responsible for this particular mis-calculation will be flogged to within an inch of his life. Or alternatively he may just be mocked a little bit, I'm not entirely sure just yet. (I'm also considering defenestration as a fittingly ironic punishment, but given that he gave me an entire day of his time (not to mention unparalleled violin skills) to help with the recording that may be a wee bit harsh).

[neuselena123]

@domuirgheasa

Haha, well defenestration is a pretty great word in fairness, and it IS a great song (with violin) so that may be a bit harsh but would be fantastically ironic. It would probably make the headlines so much so that there would then be the Dublin defenestrations of the 21st century...

[randompandemic2]

i threated my friends with defenstration. they didn't know what it was but they were worried. i think one of them thought it had something to do with castration.

[brickct123]

WINURE.

[IIxiSaMxII]

That was awshum ;D

Your bro told me about this (dara)

Keep it up!:)

[rotateleft]

can you tell me the guitar tabs?

[domuirgheasa]

@rotateleft No problem - capo on the 3rd fret, then relative to the capo the verse is Am, C, G, D, the little mini-chorus/bridge is Am, C, G, G, and the chorus is F, C, G, Am, F, C, G, G.

The intro riff is based on the verse chords but with the D and G formed by sliding an open C up by 2 and 7 frets instead of the normal open shapes, then picking 5-3-1-2-3 on the C and Am and 5-3-2-3-2 on the G and D, with the last "2" on G and D played with the string open. Have fun with it!

[QuestionableSidedish]

In all honesty, this is one of the best songs I have come across on YouTube. Fantastic job!

[Duteron]

that was awesome, and insightful! thank you!

[petpantera]

[RoryMulhall]

GO IRELAND!

[TomasOMeachair]

Nappa: "VEGETA! What does the scouter say about his view count?"

Vegeta: "IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAND!"

*crushes scouter*

Nappa: WHAT, NINE THOUSAND!?

[kay121090]

you've got almost 10 times what you needed just a day after the bet's timespan! nice. :)

[blodquatsch]

very nice!!

[papakrunk]

A cool video....but it sucks when I have to pause and rewind every 5 seconds just to see what the hell your scribbling out....

[0silverwolf0]

@papakrunk Well, he could write slower......or you could just learn to read a little faster. I certainly had no problems keeping up, maybe the problem isn't domuirgheasa... just throwing that out there. 

[kasilz]

Awesome!! Thanks for brightening up 6 minutes of my day :) congrats on winning the bet!

[jujujugulia]

[domuirgheasa]

So I won the bet in the end - and not only that but most people who saw the video claim to have enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[emptyhibiki1]

Well as of Novemeber 29th 2010 11:00 am (pst) you have 2,092 hits. Congratz on winning the bet.

[Wackywocky555]

Best used 6 minutes of my day and its an hour till midnight, so the record will hold.

Good luck winning the bet, you deserve it! :D

+1 Fan

[gothamite27]

Guys...it's seriously plausible that this is going to hit AT LEAST 2,000 before 02/12/2010. I reckon we just keep on pushing it up as far as it will go.

[gothamite27]

So, we've gone over the coveted amount of views. Shall we continue and try for 2,000?

Why yes. Yes, I think we should.

[maxphones4u]

Lions are beige.

[TomasOMeachair]

@maxphones4u I'm beige.

[maxphones4u]

@TomasOMeachair Are you a lion?

[TomasOMeachair]

@maxphones4u Nope.

[KweevaSwish]

@maxphones4u I can assure you, @TomasOMeachair ain't lion there.

[gothamite27]

So...does that mean Ligers, Zorses and Wholphins CAN'T procreate?

[KweevaSwish]

@gothamite27 Yes it does, though apparently there are exceptions. Pretty much no, though.

[gothamite27]

All jokes aside, I legitimately believe that chorus to be one of the most profound things I've heard in a while.

[TomasOMeachair]

It's gotten a fair-dinkum number of honours as well, that can be viewed by clicking the arrow beside the view-count.

[gothamite27]

I actually find it more interesting that Little Miss Muffet was a real person than that her father was an author.

[KweevaSwish]

@gothamite27 Me too!

[TomasOMeachair]

Woo! Over 600!

[divinestar]

LOL :D

[gothamite27]

(It's probably reached that point where YouTube have to do an examination on it to make sure it isn't the same IP address. I certainly haven't watched it more than a dozen times though, and that was on about three different computers in different locations)

[TomasOMeachair]

@gothamite27 I'd say I've opened the video and let it play almost a hundred times. Maybe 20 since it reached 312. 5 since I came home. Hopefully it'll change soon.

[thecrazylemoncakes]

@TomasOMeachair Youtube takes longer to update the more views it gets in a short space of time.

[TomasOMeachair]

@thecrazylemoncakes Yup yup. We'll see tomorrow how she's doing, hopefully.

[gothamite27]

(I've watched it on my family computer five times since I got home and it doesn't appear to be budging)

[TomasOMeachair]

Stuck at 312 =( I wonder if changing IP will do anything....

[JoeDull]

Gwan Aonghus :D

[Vidar378]

I enjoyed that. Good work.

[TomasOMeachair]

You should post this video as a response to the actual "universe is beige" clip from QI that's up on YouTube.

[domob6]

Gwan the lads!!! :)

[gothamite27]

200 views! We're doing well for less than two hours!

[TashinSC]

I like it :)

[gothamite27]

Well done! I'll try and get as many people to watch it as possible.

[schirick]

great!

[Menegoth]

Thumbs up for the effort. I hope you win the bet.
