DFTBA Hank!

[gollumlikesfish]

a moral message for dicks

[officialravenzoe]

Oh so I guess this means you know who I am. Fantastic!

[TheProjectWeird]

O.O

My Mind=Blown.

[emvln92]

this is AWESOME!!! the fireworks backwards looks really cool!

[Greentea493]

I cannot stop listening to this. <3

[SmileyIfSinging]

It's okay to not like things...But is it okay if I like this video? Oh well, too late. I did.

[timehero9]

thumbs up if your not american and you still watched this.

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@timehero9 Independence day; for Yanks and Aliens. Fireworks; For everyone!

--HOO HA! NERDFIGHTERS

[TheAlana173]

@timehero9 several times! :D love this song

[theslinkymaniaa]

This video was super duper awesome, though it made me slightly sick. XD

[dobbyfan48]

p.s. I watched this video backwards XD

[dobbyfan48]

cleaning the environment ;) this should happen at every fireworks show: at the end they revert to their original status in an entirely new show that removes all of the smoke :D THAT WOULD MEAN 2X THE FIREWORKS AND LESS SMOKE O_O

[dobbyfan48]

IMPLOSION wednesday :D

[Lilytooth]

UNEXPLODING MAKES ME HAPPY.

[awesomenerdfighter]

I think that this song just needs to be played over the intercom at my school forever. Seriously.

[cliocat200]

Backwards fireworks are cool :)

[aackert]

I want to buy this song, but I refuse to get iTunes, i can download the video myself, cut the audio out, and be happy, but then I am shafting the artists, GAH! Moral dilemmas.

[TheCowFreak]

@aackert You can buy it on Amazon as well.

[colourmeful]

i like everything about this video

[PecanWoodPaper]

"I did this entirely without permission"

I love how straightforward you are. XD

[MagicLlama1899]

LOL.

people stop fighting about whos singing it...

and READ THE DESCRIPTION.

Im trying to not be a dick about this...

[meow0meow7]

THEY EXPLODED BACKWARDS! OMFG

[Mantrin185]

How can I get permission to use this song in the background of a video?

[PecanWoodPaper]

@Mantrin185

Ask the producers for permission.

But the public generally doesn't care if you don't.

[Mantrin185]

@PecanWoodPaper Ok, I just don't want to be a dick about not having the right permission. I guess I will PM Michael Aranda and see if I can get a response. I would love to use this as my theme song LOL

[Badnewsbroad]

It IS Charlie. PERIOD.

[AmelieVonFerdinand]

There's something kind of hypnotizing about watching backwards fireworks. So it was my country's (Venezuela) independence day this week too (july 5th) and there was a firework display at MIDNIGHT! It sucked because I was sleeping so it woke me up and then I couldn't watch it because one of the surrounding buildings was covering the view but I couldn't go back to sleep because of the noise...So it was nice to get to watch some fireworks, even if it was on my laptop! and also the song is nice. :D

[ariseis]

Had this on youtuberepeat all day...

[Ravenclaw797]

umm anyone else find themselves randomly singing this?

[ashleypash10]

Trippy

[HPNEEK]

HAha, someone should have played this to me yesterday before I was a total pretentious arse about some music we has at prom when this other girl I am friends with, it is all she listens to. Jeeeeeeeeez I am so silly.

[evieisapokemon]

it's so weird to hear charlie swear... i've heard this song loads of times but it still shocks me (':

[moonstrands]

@evieisapokemon It's Alex Day, not Charlie... I'm pretty sure.

[emoluvistrueluv]

@moonstrands if you read the description... Charlie was included in the description... Whether that is Charlie idk, but it does sound like him. :)

[Brittydragon]

That was amazing. I have never seen backwards fireworks before :D

[BecauseJustBecause]

This is awesometastical. I like this. And the song is hilarious! :P

[richardidntwantodie]

They look like supernovas and blackholes!!! XD

[kobblinator]

I'll probably receive a lot of hate for this but isn't it a little ironic hearing Alex Day singing this song? Imo, he is kind of a dick about the things he doesn't like... :P

[omgitsbecki]

@kobblinator It sounds like Charlie to me.

[UndesignatedTeen]

@omgitsbecki it's both of them....Alex's voice is just more predominant.

[mmp2011]

@UndesignatedTeen really? i thought charlie's was

[kobblinator]

@omgitsbecki They are both singing in this song.

[proclaimer12]

@kobblinator yeah but that's part of his charm :-D

[TMBG1337]

I just was watching a Braid Let's play... it took me a while to realize the fireworks were backwards

[TinyKitty24]

Why am I so amused by this song? I was even singing it to myself at work. x3

[LibrarianToBe]

My dad just saw this and asked me if i had any music by The Hectic Glow. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

[jeremyshaw]

This is pretty funny and cool, Hank! I like this song and it fits the reversed footage so well! Thanks and Happy [belated] 4th of July! DFTBA!

[Skateonyourmam]

Charlie Mcdonnald

[ManTheBush]

hahaha this song mad me lol so hard My name is Richard and my friends and family call me Dick.

[IbeJenna]

charlie:3.



[powerkisses]

I was absolutely mesmerized by these images. Also, I'd forgotten how little it takes to get this song stuck in my head. I really don't mind though :D

[Mikeg993]

Should be a popup for people who try to troll!! :D

Two hours of this should sort'em out! And every time they try to post more, it adds on an extra 2hrs! :) Mwahahhaha!!

[ProgressiveBoink]

I really wish this song was longer. :C

[sparklesauce]

Hank.  I love your brain. Really...

[TheHanification]

It's a little pathetic how memorised I was by this video.

[leahlovesroses]

Charlieeee :))) i love him!!!! <3

[jobriq5]

Awesome backwards fireworks

[TiNaBLink]

love charlies voice. xD

[allmetaliswelcome]

MICHAEL ARANDA? wasn't that the guy from dan 3.0?

[lolololliepop1]

@allmetaliswelcome no thats dan brown, Michael is from Arandavision :d

[allmetaliswelcome]

@lolololliepop1 yea but michael aranda did like his editing and stuff for a while

[NiNJack]

do you not like fireworks hank??? hmmmmm?

[PortalPerfect]

NERIMON<3

[EverythingUseless]

Interesting video, funny song, comments weren't stupid, happy.

[brokinwand92]

......that was a weird video with a weirder song

[FredIsMyName22]

4 people were dicks about it...

[Scripterrific]

@FredIsMyName22 and the other 2 people are okay for not liking this video. xP

[Clawaccio]

At first I thought this was called 'It's okay to not like things produced by Michael Aranda'.

[thexsoar]

!knaH enod lleW

[ICutTheCake]

And I thought I was all clever last year when I decided to edit the clips I got from watching the fireworks and make them skrowerif. Le sigh.

[LifeMustard]

I was just talking to my mom this morning about how much cooler fireworks would look if they imploded.

[incognitiously]

Saw this, immediately bought the song. Lovely video! Thank you!

[littleteddybear1995]

I didn't realize the video was backwards....

[WoodysRedBo]

@littleteddybear1995 omg me neither haha

[MorrisMan95]

@hewastheirfriend7

The Maybe Dead Cats' cover is way better

[TheFingerlessGlove]

I tend to find most things much cooler if they are done backwards. Wonder why?

[daddytech]

interesting seeing fireworks in reverse lol deffinately different! Interesting choice of songs to go with this too lol wow!

[Bigheadgorilla42]

:'( my replay button broke.

[Whattchamacallit]

British accents on a 4th of july vid?

[vrenny24]

@Whattchamacallit Always good to have foundations, build bridges and what not.

[NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

MY EARS DETECT RAVEN ZOE! Yay!

[TulipsToKiss]

The 3 people who disliked this are being dicks about it

:|

[StarryCastastrophe]

Fantastic combination of pretty video, catchy song, and seriously meaningful lyrics.

[hellokittiebby]

kinda reminds me of a supernova.

[WendyWonderland]

Dangit Hank! As I was filming fireworks today I was thinking "Wouldn't it be cool if I reversed this footage?". Not even kidding. Cross my heart and hope to eat a blended happy meal, that is exactly what I was thinking as I filmed those fireworks. And then I saw this.

Heh, great nerdifghters think alike?

[kitkatrockz2]

I like this comment "An opinion is like a Dick, your allowed to be proud of it, just don't stick it down my throat"

[toki303]

that was more mesmerizing than watching fireworks

[marilyndarlingshow]

i think this is what death would look like watching the most amazing fireworks backwards

[Twefrence]

This is the first time I've seen fireworks backwards... I got to say, I think they're more beautiful this way. Anyone's going to invent backward fireworks?

[AdamOfNebb]

I like that Alex did this song while he also did a whole series making fun of Twillight.

[jaytummy]

@AdamOfNebb That was my exact same thought! But at the same time, at least he actually read Twilight before bashing on it, unlike most people who just assume it's really bad because the majority of non-tween girls think it's crap.

[GriffinWolf2008]

love it!

[youremyworld1]

fucking with my mind.

[rethinkOURreality]

I never imagined that reverse fireworks would be so glorious.

Thanks for enlightening me, Hank.

[QueenOfTheAubergines]

love the song, love the video

[TheSoulcollector17]

Happy late independence day :)

[AlexisUnger]

Mesmerizing.

[CoolDJKool]

implosion wednesday

[mynameisjoe96]

@CoolDJKool Genius.

[781228XX]

loving the reverse fireworks. I adore this song.

[SimpleVisionVideos]

three people are being dicks about it

[RidgwayWithNoE]

I enjoyed this song but i must admit that i watched it a second time, but muted it and played Beirut's Elephant Gun and It was a bit more enjoyable

[otakubabe555]

That song is wonderful. I would buy it if I had an money in my iTunes account.

[Chasetherat2000]

now i wish fireworks actually imploded. that was so awesome

[SpellboundSama]

Ahhh!! I totally freaked out when the song started. I was addicted to it the minute Michael posted it on tumblr and I'm responsible for a good amount of the plays XD lovelovelovelovelove

LOLOLOL at the description.

[kaylenfalse]

I am a horrible American. Instead of enjoying my explosions with a side of patriotic music, I was humming this crap. You've ruined me, Hank. RUINED. 

[SimpleVisionVideos]

i get it, theyre british and its the fourth of july

[loonypants1]

i feel like i just watched the world implode.

[x4812k]

I first read it "It's ok to not like things produced by michael aranda."

[SpellboundSama]

@x4812k LoL! It's NOT okay to not like things produced by Michael Aranda! XD

[K3LLYRI0T]

The song went perfectly with this actually. haha

[PossumCuber]

I didn't like the fucking British guy's voice near the beginning of the song, so screw this song :D

[fredNielssen]

@PossumCuber probably Australian not British

[MagicLlama1899]

is this sung by lex and charlie....?

[creekkid42]

thanks for the backwards fireworks! we aren't allowed to have them this year here (backwards or forwards) :D

[spwolftech]

woots!!! fireworks, didnt think i would get so see any this year

[uncool95]

Backwards fireworks+ awesome upbeat song+ orange soda= a minute and a half of total awe.

[muffinmadam]

Best. Ever.

[Xchris117X]

When we all move to Nerdfighter island, all of our fireworks will be in reverse, we'd have to figure out a way to decrease entropy but still...

[thedoctorsfeziscool]

Hey Hank, when was that song made because I saw a tumblr post between Tom Milsom and a friend of his on Skype and I thought it was just an amazing concept, not a song. xox.

DFTBA.!

[rinaellarinaella]

..now I want to see the whole reversed video...reversed, including the audio! That was fun to watch and kittenless too!

[TheBigBandGeek]

-okay-

[mynnichi]

it's okay to not like things! it's okay, but don't be a dick about it!

do i hear a charlie in there?

[CanNotBeScene]

@mynnichi i thought so too!

[kitkatkid09]

awesome :)

[stainglassfox]

I would argue that being a dick about things you don't like is the foundation of American democracy... lol

[perkie2121]

@stainglassfox I think you have a valid point, but I would counter argue that the American democracy is not exactly the pinnacle of collaboration in government.

[sarahlouisehaycox]

You may be all happy in America right now.

But here in Canadia... it's just another shitty Monday. Woo.

[thethirdkibeth]

@sarahlouisehaycox while here in Australia it's just another shitty Tuesday. This made it a bit better though

[sarahlouisehaycox]

@thethirdkibeth Haha. :D It was a really cool video though. :)

[annaslater11]

@sarahlouisehaycox On the bright side, it was just Canada Day! (I think. I live in the US.)

[rinaellarinaella]

@annaslater11 yup! July 1st in fact, very good :D

[annaslater11]

@rinaellarinaella Three cheers for Nerdfightaria celebrating holidays in all countries!

[sarahlouisehaycox]

@annaslater11 It twas haha :) The 1st is Canada day (or as I call it Canadia day... Canada is such a boring name.)

[annaslater11]

@sarahlouisehaycox Hah, I always find myself accidentally saying Canadia. It's a problem for me (:

[hewastheirfriend7]

The Hectic Glow did an awesome cover of this

[Battie]

@hewastheirfriend7 So did Paige Railstone! 

[Ramones1234100]

@hewastheirfriend7 Wait, I thought The Hectic Glow did the original, and this is the cover....

[Soccerrocks32]

@hewastheirfriend7 no it was the hectic glow that made the original, then rick astley did a cover of THAT and this is a cover of the cover....rick roll'd.

[compnerd2797]

@hewastheirfriend7 Did you hear Paige Railstone's remix of this song?

[NicoleSalamen]

@hewastheirfriend7 It's one of their best songs.

[AnotherPostcard]

I'm a little drunk so that was completely awesome.

[DevinBranting]

This was at The Hectic Glow's concert!

[FluffyMarshmallo]

I've watched this 4 times and I'm still wondering how the video fits so well with the song when they have nothing to do with each other. o_O

[FerreThoughts]

me gusta

[sashbme]

that song= <3

[dikwittington]

I love this. So very much...

[TheJackofDiamonds21]

the fire works kind of look like groups of stars collapsing in on themselves in an "end of the universe" manner

[jasonheilpern]

In the words of Wil Wheaton dont be a dick!

[blessedbyacurse]

OOooh shiny....

[turnippooferman]

I spent this whole video waiting for it to segue into the 5th Doctor's theme song from 1984.

[weasley1497]

is that charlie?

[Likeflames]

@weasley1497 Yep! And Alex. And RavenZoe.

[pianoperson13]

Wait.... if we're reversing the exploding fireworks, does that mean we're de-polluting the earth during our celebration? NERDFIGHTER WIN. Happy Fourth, everyone. :)

[AddictedToOwls]

This song is so awesome!! Cool video :D

[AuberellaDorkella]

Wil Wheaton says "Don't be a dick."

[InspiredByTheFame]

The timing was awesome on the last Firework. :)

[TheAwesomeArtChannel]

Raven Zoe has an amazing voice. ARGG- so good!

[Nomeninja2]

Pffhahahaha! -w-

[rainbowbubblesXD]

At first I read "It's OK to Not Like Things Produced by Michael Aranda"

[muffinlady18]

i love watching firework backwards... i filmed a whole bunch last year and did that...

[TheCoryKid]

I like the flash when all the sparks go back together. ( :

[kgill38]

This is trippyyyy...

[rainbowsplosion]

One person disliked this. But that's okay.

[Lily1879MineCraft]

@rainbowsplosion As long as they're not a dick about it XD

[schoolmornings]

who disliked this? didn't you hear the song?
