  • Dear Awesome Dad,

    As I've read the other comments I see that nearly everybody else feels the same as I do upon seeing your video - You are amazing! You sum it up perfectly what it's like to be a dad through your lyrics, your voice, and your music. Well done! We need more people like you in this world! Thank you for sharing.

  • I watch this video once a month or so. I love it. It rings true. Your daughter entering into the video and resting her head on your shoulder near the end adds to the tender ending of the song. I love it. You are very talented. My best to you and your family.

  • That's so AWESOME. Can anyone give me the lyrics please. I am a foreigner and this is difficult to hear what he's singing when he speeds up.

  • I typed it for my husband also becuase he is deaf and couldn't hear the words. We have six children and I didn't want him to miss this. I couldn't fit it here because it is more than 500 words but I sent you a message through youtube, hopefully it worked. The lyrics may not be exact but they are pretty close.

  • The truth..love it

    Rocket

  • I am a mommy of 4 little girls and one precious baby boy. This was AWESOME! Thanks for the smiles and the tears at the corner of my eyes. You can imagine we have been there and still are! This was great keep it up! :)

  • and for all the rest....there's Mastercard! LOL Thanks for the share,Ben!

  • I am a 64 year old father of five, and grandfather of six (and number 7 may be here tonight!) and this brings a smile, and a tear to my eye. It is so real, and touching, and very special. I ditto the comments of those who hope to see you have a wider audience for this wonderful performance, such as on Jay Leno. Best of luck for the future. Keep singing and writing.

  • loved it!

  • Aw so cute! Nice job!

  • how cute :]

  • Fantastic - as a dad of 2 (soon to be 3) this had me smiling from ear to ear (even with the "crying & whining" from my ankle biters in the background) - Totally awesome job!!

  • As a person who loves Canon in D and was known as "daddy little girl", listening to you sing with the song, I have to declare: Love from daddy singing Pachelbel song to his daughter is the BEST VERSION EVER!!!

    you made me smile (and almost cry) Thank you! =)

  • utterly fantastic. Well done and Thank you:-)

  • Your a hero to all of us frustrated dads everywhere

  • He seems like a good Dad :)

    Nice Song to :)

  • This is awesome. As a mom of 4, 1 adopted, I can totally relate.

  • very nice.. i liked it very much.. can i have the lyrics of this?huhu.. i want to sing it my son..hehe

    pls...

  • greatttt job

  • you really rock :D

  • i really really appreciate this song.. can i have the lyrics of this?

    thank you..

  • fast fast fast... =)))

  • did you make those lyrics up? they're really good :D

  • Great job with this! I love it, and I'm sure most NORMAL parents can relate to this. God bless you and your family. Again, great job.

  • We love this so much it's in my favortites! I have never posted a comment before but am compelled to share with you my 9 year old daughter's comment today. She thought you were Danny Kaye! I explained to her that you are not Danny Kaye but I hope that you take that as a compliment. At our house that is probably one of the highest compliments you could get. They love him in "The Court Jester" and "Hans Christian Anderson".

  • loved it

  • OMGOSH, SOOOO TRUE!!!

  • Wow, how cool! My elder sister would like this, or her husband, hah! It's funny because it's true indeed :D

  • I love your stuff and look forward to more fun songs. You're creative and insightful. It's great therapy to laugh at the toils and triumphs of parenting. We are first time parents of a toddler and need all the laughs we can get.

  • Thanks for the song from parents of three kids under 7. My wife and I had a great laugh listening to it. As Homer would say, it's funny because it's true.

  • I want to compliment you on your singing , cleverness and humanity

  • That is really cool.

    Congrats on taking the time to work that out!!

  • He may be playing in C (I don't know because I'm not near my piano), but the piece is Canon in D Major.

    This is cute. And with a two-year-old to put to bed each night, I can identify!

  • he's playing in key... trust me, I've been playing violin for 8 years (I'm only 13) and have perfected this song on it and it seems like most of it is in tune... maybe there was rough spots but it seemed pretty good most of the way

  • The ending is the best part of all! LOVE this and so did my daughter.

  • "I keep hearing songs from Shrek" - thats classic. Excellant work. I have e-mailed this to all my girl friends. Too sweet...

  • He says in the Video it's Canon in D

  • It doesn't sound like D. I'd say C, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

  • i love this song and thank for rersponding

  • I still love this video -I come back and watch it again and again.

  • that was sweet when your daughter and wife came in the first time i saw that part i almost couldnt breath from laughing

    great job thats a hard song

  • I have 5 children and it captures my life perfectly. Great job!

  • I have 3 girls all under the age of 7 and this song pretty much captures what life is like every day. Loved it.  The girls watch it over and over again.

  • I am a song writer also and that was moving

  • you see. no one would have ever thought about writing something like this. its creative,catchy,moving,true,an­d funny.

    i do not have a child yet but this song really gives me a good picture about what is going to happen. the imagery that you use is like i am reading a book. and when you get to the cat part and the baby starts to cry i could really see a little kid screaming. and my eyes. popped like i just saw the boogie man. your the kinda person that we need more of on youtube.

  • I laughed until I cried. My 3 year old stayed up until AT LEAST 10:30 last night when I finally let her in my bed. So many of your words hit home, even "Shrek" as we watched his holiday special last night. You give me hope! There is a positive side, right???

  • hey i messigd u befor!.this is soooo good! XD

  • That was great!!!!!!

  • Great song! Being a musician, DJ and a father to be in June of 2008 I really commend you for the lyrics and choice of song to parody!

    Great job.......but thanks for scaring me even more about becoming a new father! LOL

  • That was GREAT...my 7 y/o and I watched it a few times!

  • nice song, but the cellist in me is traumatized by pachabell's canon (which had pretty much the most BORING cello part ever.)

  • aww, that's so cute!! love it!! can you put the lyrics too?

  • Can't imagine a better description of the bedtime cycle. Great job!

  • The absolute best!!!!!!!!!!!

I know many people would want to buy your music as well. Great job! THANKS for singing about what parents go through and feel.

  • Genius. Somebody pay this guy to make more music or at least get him a good sitter for a night.

  • This is my 3 yr old sons favorite video, "play the daddy one again!" (and again, and again, and again...)

  • That is SO true! I used to wake my parents up at such odd hours before 'cause I had nightmares =P Brilliant song. Make another one! =)

  • i know that that's what my daddy was thinking when i was little!

  • He sings very beautifully. :)

  • Thank you. Such a statement on parenthood in such a beautiful song.

  • Mate, you are a legend. That is fantastic, and an ode to the joy of parenthood. from Australia

  • Exhaustion, Torture, Sleep Deprivation, LOVE.... all the elements of parenthood.

    Gottal love it!

  • I watched this at work after a sleepless night with two kids up at varying schedules, unending returns to their beds, etc. I laughed so hard I was crying. My office colleagues thought I lost my marbles. Great stuff - thank you.

  • ok, that says it all. Funny. Up with a whiner even as we speak!

  • I like this!! Its funny!!!

  • What a great love song! This is doing the rounds of parents in New Zealand and giving us all a smile and a throat lump. Keep it up.

  • as a parent of five children I'm very familiar with his story -- excellent story-teller and singer. I hope he gets more general exposure - he's really good.

  • Kudos-

  • I registered for youtube just to be able to leave a comment on this video. I LOVE IT! With four kids, it is so affirming when someone nails what it's like--the mixture of exhaustion and love. Bravo!

  • More good days than bad.  Thanks

  • I so love this song. What a perfect slice of parenthood. Thank you.

  • This is is so great!

  • OMG.......that's great!! I just love it. And your daughter seems very proud. Precious and true.

  • Life is the same the world over, you have described my life parenting in Ireland too!  I too used to hear songs from Shrek in my head, now it is you! "and the crying, and the moaning, and the whining, and the screaming...." Love it.

  • Very nice! No need to apologise to Pachelbel, I'm sure. ;)

  • Gives me the chills everytime I listen to that. So good! And true!

  • OMG!!!

    i think u will end up get ur kids cracking up all night! lol NICE!!! very creative

  • I have to give this a 10. While trying to watch it my 3 month old son started crying, & my 2 1/2 yr old son came out of his room & wanted a drink, more kisses, and wanted me to read him another book, lol. The joys of children :-)

  • salut

    brilliant...thanks alot

  • Very nice song, grats!

  • GREAT...

  • You rock!

    My first impression was that it was gonna be some serious stuff, but that humor proves me wrong totally.

  • Wow this is great!

  • With the moaning, and the crying And the screaming, and the weeping When did you have time to write The song that you were singing? Though, I thank you for the time It took to write this lyric All my days do go much better With a song upon my spirit And the comfort in the knowing There are other dads just like me Blessed with God's own chosen gifts Yet wanting less excitement From the dad of 2 poor children Whose ears are often aching From their father's sad attempts At guitar music making.
  • so true and so funny
