Katy Perry - Firework (Read as a Poem)

[Jguy365]

I refuse to listen to the music that this generation produces.

[sinsaremyspecialty]

About your "sky" not rhyming with "down" I'm not sure if you've never listened to music before, but not every line in every song has to rhyme. If you live in a house facing a road like in many neighbourhoods, and you open your door, isn't it leading you into a road? Since you took that so literally, like a guy who has never understood or listened to music (again), just thought I'd reverse that onto you and make it literal. Nice overthinking of a song you don't like & thought I'd do the same.

[Crazeegymnast]

Haha! I love overprocessing songs like this too :D

On Facebook, I always correct the idiots who spell as if they're 7.

Nice vids man!

[KomicTurtle]

You know... I never saw a Rainbow after a hurricane. I've been through Hurricane Jeanne and Frances in 2004, and Flloyd in 1999 (I think it was Flloyd). All I saw was grey clouds, speeding along the sky. Oh, and I hate this song. It ALWAYS played and stood out when I was working. For some reason, it's the ONLY song I heard while working. Why? D:

[lildodgerpuppy]

Can I just say that I have never felt like I am buried underground and no one can hear me but I still want the hug! XD haha

[AlexaSparkles]

lol you are hilarious! 

[thegman8997]

My friends teacher showed this video in class, just wanted to let you know that.

[polkadotpolka123]

SKUHY SKUHY SKUHY :D

[katieh115]

some of those lyrics are wrong...just saying

[mifi369]

Wow can't believe there is someone else who shares the same opinion as me of the lyrics haha

[Schubes17]

@mifi369 great minds think alike

[weyandt123]

i am a FIIIIIIRREEWORK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHH

IM ON FIRE HOLY SHIRT

[Schubes17]

@weyandt123 bahaha

[ScratchThat2009]

THE SKY AND DOWN PART WAS SO TRUE I LOVED IT!!!!!

[Schubes17]

@ScratchThat2009 yay!

[immabeontheedge]

I love Katy, I've met her and everything (yeah haters you can be jealous), but this video is soooo funny lmao.

[Schubes17]

@immabeontheedge i'm glad you can still find this funny!

[thePoetsTime]

"I feel like im being buried alive"

O_O... "Do you want a hug?"

[brokinwand92]

"do...do you want a hug" lolololololol!!

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

-Hahahaha that was awesome XD

I do NOT like Katy Perry, she's soooo skanky and ridiculous, AND she can't sing.... I heard her sing some of "Teenage Dream" live, and I couldn't stand how terrible it was XP

*hugs*

[Schubes17]

@iLeaveYouWithHugs she's a big fan of the auto-tune these days

[bluelipsticksamurai]

"slant rhyme (noun) rhyme in which either the vowels or the consonants of stressed syllables are identical, as in eyes, light; years, yours."

Slant rhyme has been used in English-language poetry since the early seventeenth century and was popularized by poets like Yeats and Hopkins. Imagery, also, has been a central device in poetry almost as long as poetry has been written; it's rarely interpreted literally. I don't care for Katy Perry, but at least she's familiar with poetic devices.

[keeporjot]

You just destroyed my anthem...CRUSHED!

[Schubes17]

@keeporjot trololololol

[OhHayMike]

You know what song you should read? The theme song to the Andy Griffith Show.

[Schubes17]

@OhHayMike i'll look into it

[abc114able]

I heard this at the Hard Rock Cafe. WTF Katy Perry isn't hard rock.

[Schubes17]

@abc114able haha so true

[ckXcore]

You are the MASTER OF DESTROYING LYRICS! #AllOfTheLOLZ

[Schubes17]

@ckXcore haha thank you sir!

[PeaceloveandKasi]

I love this song, but this video still made me laugh.. a lot. lol =)

[Schubes17]

@PeaceloveandKasi mission accomplished.

[JoshH37591]

It took this video to make me realise how crap this song is!, And maybe she can walk through that door on the street and get hit by a car!

P.s: I recommend Teenagers, by My Chemical Romance, it's a really good song, and I think it'll make a great video!

[Schubes17]

@JoshH37591 hahaha indeed. And i'll have to check those songs out

[lildodgerpuppy]

@JoshH37591 love the song but I agree!!! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee :)

[Tommy1Williams]

This is funny, I must admit... but I think this song is actually kind of good =l

when she's saying do you ever feel like a plastic bag and that stuff... what she probably means is like do you ever feel useless. and how you're saying the words not rhyming.. they don't have to. They're just what fits with the song.

[Schubes17]

@Tommy1Williams I know, but this song just sounds funny as a poem haha

[TheCosmopolitician]

HAHA YUS THE TRANSITIVE PROPERTY (dftba?)

[Schubes17]

@TheCosmopolitician awhhhh yeah. DFTBA all day

[justduncannohiro]

i never feel like a plastic bag

maybe a paper one

but never plastic

!!!(^-^)

[Schubes17]

@justduncannohiro bahaha

[UnleashedKillah]

sometimes when im bored,,, i lay in my neighbors garden and pretend im a carrot

[supersharayah]

I always laugh about the opening line. I have no idea how that's relatable at all.

[Schubes17]

@supersharayah bahaha

[britishsnobbery]

Ha ha ha mindblowin mate :). 3 dislikes????????? Hang on hw can anyone dislike this :O strangeeee. Anyway u rock as eva buddy. Oi u shud try reading the Spice Girls song "wannabe" as a poem. I know its like a song from the yesteryears nw :P buh yeah a classic of the 90s ha ha :). Anyway keep rockin mate \m/ \m/

[Schubes17]

@britishsnobbery wannabe would be epic!

[sponge917]

I was actually surprised by how poetic the lyrics were, as much as I dislike the music.

I think sometimes maybe we get too caught up in finding reasons to dislike something to stop and find the good things in it.

[HiveTyrant96]

MY GOD. this whole movie was brilliant.

[Schubes17]

@HiveTyrant96 gracias

[Kb1hockeychick]

I posted this as a comment to your channel, but you should read Eenie Meenie by Sean Kingston and Justin Beiber.

[Schubes17]

@Kb1hockeychick I SHOULD

[FindingDani]

you're way too literal ;P

[Schubes17]

@FindingDani maybe just a tad

[HerezMikey]

Oh my gosh! This was hilarious. It's 3:30 in the morning and I'm watching this video and I just cracked up laughing with "...do you want a hug?" and you had that face. I like the song Firework but hearing the words read like a poem, I just think it's hilarious. Great job in making someone laugh. Have a great day!

[Schubes17]

@HerezMikey haha I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[penguyen17]

Schubes...YOU'RE MY FIREWORK!!!!!!

[Schubes17]

@penguyen17 OHHH OHHH OHHHH

[ItsLemur]

(claps) Good Job Schubes, now when I type or text something/someone if i mean "you are" and I put "your" im like "Oh My Friggin Gosh!!! I DID IT AGAIN (take that Britt. Spears)!!! I'LL CHANGE IT SCHUBES!! I'LL DO IT FOR US!!!! nom nom nom mmmmmm poptart. and that is the story of my dead hamste...wait oh yeah you've made me in to AN ENGLISH TEACHER'S PET.

oh by the way you should receit bohemian rhapsody

[Schubes17]

@ItsLemur haha what an epic comment

[agusgutierrez]

hahahaha

"would you say i'm bright like the sun?"

"aaah, i wouldn't push it... i'd say you're bright like the moon"

if you think about things too much, you'll realize how twisted everything is; you know what they say "ignorance is bliss"



[Schubes17]

@agusgutierrez true

[thecynchannel]

A plastic bag drifting in the wind = most beautiful thing in the world. :p

[Schubes17]

@thecynchannel indeed

[AltoYourClef]

PLEASE please please do E.T by Katy Perry. The lyrics to that are worse than the lyrics to firework. If you don't do it, I will and I'll make a video response.

[Schubes17]

@AltoYourClef you should do it! I don't think I'd do another katy perry song

[thecolormaria]

you need to do boom boom pow by the black eyed peas. actually, any song with them would do.

[Schubes17]

@thecolormaria true

[joyfuljojo233]

you are seriusly retared

[TheAray6]

@joyfuljojo233 I don't think he is. But you must be because you just spelled seriously and retarded wrong. Nice try though, i bet your mom thinks you are special anyway. Besides using the word retarded to offend someone is not cool. Its ofensive to those that really are mentally challenged. You get no cool points. :(

[GHXpert]

@joyfuljojo233 So much truth.

[pineapplesanny]

@joyfuljojo233 With all do respect sir are you sure you're in any position to call someone "retared" I mean that's a huge insult "seriusly" you should apologize... OH! and spell the dang words right you illiterate monkey. A proper insult is what you just did to yourself... Its called social embarrassment... SERIOUSLY!!!

[AnAmazingUsername]

This video was hilariously accurate. I once pointed out the whole moon-gets-light-from-the-sun thing to my friend. But she just thought I was weird. I liked that song the first few times I heard it but now it just annoys the heck out of me. Also, the plastic bag line will forever be the weirdest line I've ever heard in a song.

[OpheliaShoes]

Yes Schubes. I do want a hug.

[Schubes17]

@OpheliaShoes I'll get on that

[OpheliaShoes]

@Schubes17 YAY!

[MrFusion19]

No, i felt like i was buried above ground and its a queen pillowtop while listening to screamo because its sounds like people about to break hips (like Betty White) while having annurisms after drinking 5 Lattés at starbucks which costs $10 and a couple of stale organic $20 muffins, which reminds me of hippies. (By the way plastic bags kill babies and Katy Perry is extremely hot). Bloop.

[Schubes17]

@MrFusion19 hahahaha

[completeidiot19]

Katy Perry is um... very good at metaphors.

[Schubes17]

@completeidiot19 mediocre at best

[jedwardnumberonefan]

OMG I ACTUALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND THE FACT YOU REPLY TO EVERYONE ^_^ <3 WATCHING FROM SCOTLAND !!

[Schubes17]

@jedwardnumberonefan SCOTLAND? NICE!!

[jedwardnumberonefan]

@Schubes17 Woop xD x

[PoseidonXIII]

I love these kind of videos, make more please!

[Schubes17]

@PoseidonXIII i shall!

[Schubes17]

@SmithVGames I would do that song, but Lennon wrote it on purpose just to fuck with people who looked too deep into his lyrics, which makes it hilarious.

[sockostealshearts]

"... do you want a hug?? 0.o"

[Schubes17]

@sockostealshearts haha

[rachheell123]

hahahaha i was drinking water during this video, and i almost spat it out five times it was so funny!

[Schubes17]

@rachheell123 hahaha yesssss i love to hear that/I hope your computer is ok

[livelovelol4]

When I here this song I never exactly... sing the words. Now I guess I'm somewhat proud of myself for adding hmms, laaaaas, and some random words. 'o'

[Schubes17]

@livelovelol4 haha

[zottepark]

LOL! I love it when you do these things, man! "What, videos?" Well, yes, but more specifically the song-poem reading thing. Yes, CuteWithChris did these back in the day, but he's gone now. Beg for mercy, my friends, for he is Schubes! 17.

[Schubes17]

@zottepark haha I'm glad you enjoy, and I'm happy to take the reigns

[marco18p]

The light of the moon is actually a reflection of the light from the sun. So there's that!

[Schubes17]

@marco18p I mean, it's still basically calling you second-best. Because she's calling you the reflection, not the source

[TheAray6]

i personally want to murder myself when i hear the song.

[Schubes17]

@TheAray6 bahaha

[MsMoonHere]

...you know, now that you mention it, if someone said they felt like they were buried under the ground screaming but no one could hear them... I'd think "Oh chill out, emo kid." :3

I used to listen to this song all the time..but I tended to ignore the words and just use the music and energy in the song to clean house :D It's a little weird that it makes me wanna jump around my house.

Katy Ferry Pan? :3 the funniest things happen when your tang gets tonguled x3 *shuffles back to cubby hole*

[Schubes17]

@MsMoonHere haha you're comments are always so amazing

[blingblingshineshine]

Sad,sad Schubes,you can't appreciate the lyrics?Dang :(

But I still don't like Katy.She can't sing.

Haha but the ohohoh part and down down down part is super funneh XD But some of the lyrics are really meaningful.

[Schubes17]

@blingblingshineshine I'd appreciate the lyrics if they were more unique.

[Justtubed]

in defense of Katy Perry, many of these rhymes are slant rhymes, not exact rhymes. Not to mention, a person is not required to rhyme.

Otherwise, I agree. I love her, but this song. Annoying.

[Schubes17]

@Justtubed This song is le suck.

[swimgirl09allthetime]

hahaha u soooo should make more of these

[Schubes17]

@swimgirl09allthetime I plan to

[TheNomadknight]

Just saying as a Floridian, I have never seen a rainbow after a hurricane.

[Schubes17]

@TheNomadknight haha Katy Perry is a LIAR

[sophiaathina]

TRANSITIVE PROPERTY.

"Nah, I'd say you're bright like the moon." "Ahhhwwwkkaaattyyy!"

You're sort of kind of funny I guess.

/ hilarious.

[Schubes17]

@sophiaathina hell yeah transitive property. awhuddup. /you're awesome

[1malldoc1]

lol She didn't write it herself anyway cause she is too dumb! lmao I never head of a firework I only have heard of FIREWORKS. hmm Awesome Schubes17

[Schubes17]

@1malldoc1 why thank you

[deziix3]

Omg i love when you make these videos! I cant stop laughing! Youre awesome! <3

[Schubes17]

@deziix3 no, YOU'RE awesome!

[ImACreepyStalker]

xD hahaha i laughed so hard at 0:52 - 0:58

[Schubes17]

@ImACreepyStalker it's a good part indeed

[MAMAMAMAKEUP1]

hahaha katy ferry pan!....I LOVEEEEE you and the channel!!!! cant wait for the next vid. :)))))) <3

[Schubes17]

@MAMAMAMAKEUP1 this comment makes me so happy

[itsnotover16morgan]

this made me laugh

[Schubes17]

@itsnotover16morgan mission complete

[Cupcakequeen42]

Okay, everytime you post a video I laugh like a moron at my iPod and people give me weird looks. SO WORTH IT. And then I look at your username and the only thing I can think about is the scooby doo theme song. Ya know:

Schubydoobydoo, I love you

Yada yada yada.

But you're really funny.

I hope you never feel like a plastic bag. Especially a doggy duty bag, schubydoobydoo.

[Schubes17]

@Cupcakequeen42 awh yeah, I loves dem weird looks. Schubdydoobydoo is always solid

[MitsoRouloFoto]

"Katy Ferry Pan" = me not being able to stop laughing at 2 am.

[Schubes17]

@MitsoRouloFoto yesssssss

[marc12201]

I love your videos

[Schubes17]

@marc12201 i love your kind words

[marc12201]

@Schubes17 It's just hilarious how you make fun of the artist.

[DavidWoodFX]

Ok, I had to go listen to the actual song since I'd only heard parts of it. Aside from the goofy rhymes and the corny lyrics the message behind it is actually good. The song itself is stupid though so I heartily enjoyed it being poemed. :)

[Schubes17]

@DavidWoodFX I'm glad you enjoyed, sir

[iJake917]

A Katy Ferry Pan is in fact a Ferry Boat that looks like a giant pan. Katy Perry rides this pan-like ferry to wherever she wants. Including the brightest part of the moon moon moon...

[Schubes17]

@iJake917 hahahahaha

[LuckyLyra27]

In my French class, we learned that "feu d'artifice" means firework. We then translated "Firework" into French to the best of our ability considering none of us are really fluent. It's even more awkward to sing, "Fais qu'ils disent oh oh oh quand tu vols dans le ciel-el-el."

[Schubes17]

@LuckyLyra27 lawlrus

[camradur]

im always amazed by that snap thing you do

[Schubes17]

@camradur haha I'm magical

[ReviewerHQ]

firework read as a poem sounds pretty deep in my opinion

[Schubes17]

@ReviewerHQ meh, haha

[NatalieeRaine]

HAHAHA  This made my day on several levels. :)

[Schubes17]

@NatalieeRaine YAY! I love hearing that

[pineapplesanny]

haha i remember on twitter deefizzy said "I want what ever drug Katy Perry has to feel like a plastic bag" hahaah great video man great video

[Schubes17]

@pineapplesanny that's hilarious

[alexpringle20]

seriously, you MUST do any nicki minaj song! like super bass.. 'cause no matter what song it may be by minaj, the lyrics are painfully terrible.

[Schubes17]

@alexpringle20 that's a great idea

[voicebox9]

You should read Skrillex - "Nice Sprites and Scary Monsters" as a poem.

[Schubes17]

@voicebox9 i'll check it out

[voicebox9]

@Schubes17 It was a joke, one that you'll get after listening to the song. But you should listen to Skrillex. It's some awesome stuff.

[GHXpert]

@voicebox9 You're gay. 

[voicebox9]

@GHXpert you eat your own poop.

[MAMAMAMAKEUP1]

@voicebox9 you eat your own poop fag

[GHXpert]

@MAMAMAMAKEUP1 MAMAMAMMA doesnt understand the joke

[Tommy1Williams]

@MAMAMAMAKEUP1 a fag is actually a cigarette in case you didn't know.. and I really doubt he eats his own poop. maybe you're thinking about yourself.

[MAMAMAMAKEUP1]

Respond to this video...  ur mom is gay ur a test tube baby

[kgstudioproductions]

haha i just love the part about the door in the road. could you imagine driving along and whoa there's a closed door, can't take that road now. hahaha

[Schubes17]

@kgstudioproductions hahahaha

[bazookaclaire]

The plastic bag lyric is a reference to the movie American Beauty. This was really funny though.

[Schubes17]

@bazookaclaire glad you liked it

[SteveDawgNZ]

@Schubes17 where do you get your backing tracks from? You use the same ones as a podcast I listen to: "Bad Philosophy"

[Schubes17]

@SteveDawgNZ iMovie. nothing fancy

[ntcssj]

I have to admit this is better than Kesha, but still hilarious.

[Schubes17]

@ntcssj huzzah

[hellojooyce]

...but i DO feel like a plastic bag sometimes.

ahahaha crying mike was so funny!

[Schubes17]

@hellojooyce teehee :D

[fruitegable]

SCHUBES! Do I'm into you by J-Lo or Greande by Bruno Mars! Those would be entertaining to watch you do :P

[Schubes17]

@fruitegable grenade would be good, but itskingsleybitch has already said everything I would haha

[giggsa]

ummm katy perry doesn't write her own music :P

[Schubes17]

@giggsa i just lost more respect for her

[jedwardnumberonefan]

I lol'd!

[Schubes17]

@jedwardnumberonefan huzzah! mission accomplished

[LukeDrake94]

Haha these are great man.

[Schubes17]

@LukeDrake94 thanks, Luke!

[XxXLeahKennyXxX]

OMG you have to do 'Don't Look Back In Anger' by Oasis . That song makes no sense at all or 'Can't Stop' by RHCP .
