Making Adorable Music

[lynns692]

My co-workers at Target (who are adults and supposed to be mature men) always play with those when putting them away. Hilarious.

[InsideCellardoor]

I want them!

[smiletimes3]

My nerdfighter friend had a birthday party recently and she got 2 singamajigs.

She flipped out.

[thewixter]

THIS MAN IS PERFECT.

[Speilbilde]

I bought a Singamajig thanks to you, John. A super cute Yellow one.

[harrypotterXnaruto]

i luv singamajigs!!!

[nerdybrony]

performing on stage together? that happened. TADA!

[dotmyiis]

So... after watching this video my boyfriend ordered us singamajigs. Should we be embarrassed?

[derFischmoerder]

@dotmyiis You should heel so very honored to have your very own singamajigs.

[jordandeearn]

I bought these for my sisters for Christmas and thought they were awesome, but now that I have seen this video I feel about 49736 times prouder of my purchase.

[Milaescalante]

I got one for my bday =] it was the one that sings happy birthday to you =]

[arihitsugaya]

I got two of these for my 18th birthday, and I regret nothing.

[Cloverstar333]

those scare me...

[radiogiraffe]

Love Giraffes

[sbcflirter]

Well French the Llama, I really want a singamajig.

[mthsbandrocks]

My singamajig is currently sitting on top of my two copies of TFiOS. :)

[TheRedwater357]

I know what's stopping Hank from being the next Justin Bieber: Hank knows how to sing.

[DeltaAlphaNuStudio]

At Genuardi's they have oodles of Sing-A-Ma-Jigs.

[hannamint]

I got me a sing a ma jig today from work. Mine says bon voyage when I'm done freaking the dog out with him... couldn't help but wonder if I had a french speaking sing a ma jig...

[MrSpazzyunicorn]

I have a sing-a-majig that after you stop playing with it it says " fair the well"

[michelleh18]

"Hank, there's something I've been wanting to ask you. I've always had this dream that, just like we have a collaborative video channel, someday, you know, this is awkward, but maybe someday we could be on stage playing music together?"

John, welcome to the Tour de Nerdfighting 2012. I'm sure Hank was glad to have you in his band and we were all glad too.

[kaikiyukionna27]

Let me remind you, John-Miley Cyrus writes/sings songs.

[nerdgirl187]

hahahaha i weas at suer stor yester day and i started a sing-a-amgig concert some old lady told me to leave

[andrineslife]

I saw a sing-a-majig at the mall when I was researching for design class with my friends, I got very excited and they totally thought I was crazy :)

[MattPeters22]

Cough, 500 Miles, cough

[ReallyJustHope]

I'm going to buy my little brother one of these, my parents may think it is less weird that way :P

[K9Negative]

I got to play singamajigs finally!!!! They sell them at FYE now. I have a hunch that John is responsible for this.

[dramaqueen197]

i have six sing a ma jigs because of this video...

[NeilSonOfNorbert]

the question John is can you play the same piece twice on singamajig or play covers with them?

[Niekpas1]

You ended on a V chord, John. YOU CANNOT END ON A V CHORD! #musicianjokes

[yohanne14]

My brother got me a sing-a-ma-jig for Christmas because I was so obsessed with this video x)

[harrySTINKINpotter]

0:19 Dream fufilled. Hank "I will walk 500 mile" John "500 MILES!" Hank "And I will walk 500 more" John "500 MORE!"... LOL loveyou guys, Tour de Nerdfighting was nerdfightastic.

[Poptart184]

Because another Juntin Bieber would increase world suck.

[Poptart184]

Because another Juntin Bieber would increase world suck.

[TheWittyChappy]

and thus 500 Miles was done.

[godessshannon]

Make an album, John! ^^

[EmoWolfMaster]

John! you should totally look into learning t play the Ocarina! they are not only awesome but they are also relativly easy to learn! though if i were you, i would go with a peruvian ocarina to start with then move up to a sweet potato

[Ihave7horcruxs]

Today I was walking through TK Max with my mum. We were looking in the toy section and after a while my mum picked up a Singamajig, she said 'Hey Emily, look, it sings!', I gasped and ran over to her, I'd always thought Singamajig's were native to America, alas, I was wrong, a wild one, here in England! After quickly explaining to my mum what Vlogbrothers are and the brilliance of Singamajig's, I convinced her to give me £6.99 to buy it, BEST DAY SHOPPING EVER. DFTBA

[SingActPlay]

For my brother's 12th birthday one of his friends was all out off ideas for a present.

My brother recieved, from this friend, a blue Sing-a-ma-jig and a coconut.

[enchantinglynasty]

The other day I was at Target with my dad and I spotted a lone sing-a-ma-jig at the end of an aisle. It's the first time I've ever spotted one in the wild. We promptly located more sing-a-ma-jigs and became the people in the Target trying to make toys harmonize.

[LitCastsD13]

If you let those things sit for awhile, they eventually turn off and say "Goodnight." It's sort of creepy...

[KathrynAnn116]

i love those things!!!

[TheHeadHurts]

They have teeth?!

[louisfoulkes]

John, if Hank won't have you as his sing-a-ma-jig player, I would definitely have you, without hesitation.

[hypermele]

My mom found sing-a-ma-jigs at the flea market and got some for the students in her classroom. When my sister and I discovered them, we freaked out and played with them for a reaaaally long time because we saw this video. Did I mention this was on Christmas Day? Haha -___-

[Redwillowfox]

Noooo, the blue people of the great land of The Backround have fallen!

[NawnExistent]

STOP CALLING ME HANK! =(

-I'm joking before someone replies to this in a rage-

[BentheBassPhish]

I still need to get some singamajigs...

[ajswanson91]

And I just realized I bought the pink one that John uses in this video :D

[ajswanson91]

So, I bought a couple of Singamajigs last night. I don't care if I'm 20! I saw them at Wal-Mart and had a huge nerd moment, and my best friend was there with me. I bought 2, and he bought 3. :D

[them4ster4]

OMFG YOU WROTE PAPER TOWNS?!!??!?!?!

I WATCH YOUR VIDS LOADS AND DIDN'T KNOW THAT

I LOVE THAT BOOK!!!!!!!!

[OoOImWithCrazyOoO]

@them4ster4 You should read looking for alaska, an abundance of katherines, will grayson will grayson and tfios.

[CurrentlyM]

it's the hair.

[cabriogirllp]

My sister got me Christmas Singamajigs for Christmas. I felt that needed to be posted here.

[BubbleArcadia]

Just two days ago I went to target with my older sibling and we passed by the toy aisle and saw a bunch of sing-a-ma-jigs and bought like 5 of them which I have successfully learned to harmonize together. I then went to this YouTube video and had a nerdgasm. MLIA! :D

[CosplayOneechan]

If you look up Sing-a-ma-jigs on Wikipedia, it says: Sing-a-ma-jigs were popularized by John Green in his video "Making Adorable Music" which was uploaded to YouTube on October 22, 2010. In this video John models the red, light blue, yellow, and pink Sing-a-ma-jigs by harmonizing them and forming a simple melody.

Quite cool.

[SomeoneBeginingWithI]

anyone can make singimagjigs harmonise. only John Green can make singimagjigs NOT harmonise

[d00mbot9000]

You know if you go to the sing-a-ma-jig Wikpedia page it says they were popularized by this video.

[nytephoenix25]

thumbs up if you went and bought a singamajig after watching this video :)

[thehelmofdarkness]

ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAVE ONE OF THOSE!! :D I love them so much! They're so amazing!

[singingurl1001]

wow... 42 people hate singamajigs...

[oh9ah6]

HOWDO THEY WORK?

[uniqueangel5]

I am almost 20 (okay, okay, still 19) and for Christmas I got a pink sing-a-ma-jig. I love it so much! I plan to take it back to college with me. I will be so cool... 8-D

[Redwillowfox]

Brilliant.

[nachosNapples]

singamaBJ dolls

[secretdreamer146]

I got a Sing-A-Majig for my birthday! I think I thought it was more amazing than my new iPhone...

[BTLGRLno9]

I would pay to see that.

[lightningcow10]

I played with these today in Target!

[BradShreds]

I'm 19 years old... and I play with those things every time i pass through the toy isle at target.

[n00dleman97]

The thumbnail made me think that there would be a massive Sing-a-ma-jig. Rats.

[youwithaface]

WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT JUST A MINUTE! I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO KEEP YOUR POE BUST ON YOUR MANTLE! 0:22 Oh well, I can forgive you for that. :P

[Mis4Mika]

my sister got three singamajigs for christmas. i am obscenely jealous.

[TheSupercitylover]

I finally got some !!! 

[TheBrittniBee]

@TheSupercitylover I got some for Christmas xD I looked at my fiance and said "HOW DID YOU KNOW!"

To which he replied with "Whenever we go to the store and you pick something up and say 'Oh! John green has these!' and get excited, I know you want it."

[Fashoniesta]

Why do you remind me of Ted from "How I met your Mother?"

[Igo2seekagr8perhaps]

whats stopping Hank from being the next Justin Bieber you ask???

well, there's Hank's sense of taste, inspiring intellect, his ability to write actual songs with actual lyrics that are actually unique and amazing, and then there's his awareness that time should be spent fighting world suck, not making your hair pretty.

[EmoWolfMaster]

@Igo2seekagr8perhaps man if only i could like comments several times...

[bainaka]

@Igo2seekagr8perhaps Also he knows where germany is and hasn't been bested by glass windows in a challenge of wits.

[Igo2seekagr8perhaps]

@bainaka that too :)

[aciijess]

I love watching this video with my sing-a-ma-jig sitting next to me (:

[darkling2222]

I desire a sing-a-ma-jig. Or 5000

[kelsarecool]

i got a sing-a-majig today :)

[stolenbaby2008]

My mom and I were christmas shopping last weekend and I found a sing-a-ma-jig and promptly freaked out and showed her. First she thought it was weird, then she thought it was amazing and decided to buy it for my brother as a present. Now I'm honestly jealous that I don't have one.

He's 21 btw. I'm 20.

[Calvero52]

I bought some for my kids. Even got one that is one regular size that holds a baby size singamajig. Thanks John for introducing us to a fun toy :)

[fluffandstuf]

so wait did he hire you?

[awsomelizzy13]

HE BLINKED!!

[TheSupercitylover]

i think adults likes them better than kids hee

im going to buy 2 then start out with more !!

[EmilyViola12]

you know you are a nerdfighter when you spend 30 mins in Wallmart playing with the singamajigs....

[XxDAYMIANxX]

fuck you

[TheSNUGGLES2011]

I was in the store recently and I was playing with some Sing-a-ma-jigs and some lady looked at me weird.

[DearKaitlynCountMeIn]

We had a secret santa thing today in my French class. I received a sing-a-ma-jig. I freaked out and didn't put it down until the end of the period.

[BIBIisBOREDXD]

My chorus teacher was lecturing my class about opening our mouth when we sung but all I could focus on was the Sing-A-Ma-Jig she was using. Everyone in my chorus class think's I'm crazy because I flipped out when I saw it

[ajswanson91]

I saw a Singamajig while I was at the music store looking for some sheet music I would like. It was very hard to resist buying it. I didn't have enough money D:

[CheriJolynnvk849]

hm schaut mich an bin ein frosch

[MmeLuella]

I really want a giraffe love tshirt. They should do another run.

[hawkwardish]

This is what has made me love the vlogbrothers. DFTBA.

[TheLittleBlueBoxx]

I WANT ONE

[laughlovelaila77]

and i asked for a Happy Napper for my birthday.

looks like its time to rewrite my birthday wish list.

[12345nerdydays]

I saw one in Barnes and Noble when i was going to get An Abundance of Katherines (i was actually getting Looking for Alaska but they were out) and i freaked out! Too bad i didn't have enough money to get one...

[birdyblair]

Im a Nerdfighter and I saw some of these and I nerded on the the floor

[Ristengirl876]

I asked for Sing-A-Ma-Jigs for Christmas :DD

[tacoismykitty]

@Ristengirl876 me too

[ChaoticDelerium]

:( I wish my boyfriend was this amazing

[MyThebox]

your gay

[flopperstein]

@MyThebox not an insult.

there is even a video about how your comment is noneffective.

[costafaceexo]

@MyThebox you're* as in, you're an idiot, and have no right to watch a nerdfighter video.

[Ristengirl876]

@MyThebox You're*

[WhatIfItWasPurple]

@MyThebox useless

[awkwardfour]

I love his faces in this video. He goes from pleading to intense to proud and back

[MJamzzify]

me and my friend went to walgreens and we were walking down the isles looking for something to buy. We were strolling down the toy isle & we saw some my little pony stickers, i screamed and opened them immediately, sticking them all over my friend and I. But then I saw them, singamajigs. I recognized them from this video & immediately picked up the 2 that were left, playing them, laughing and acting like a 5 yr. old, until my friend took 1 out of my hand and joined me :) i love you nerdfightera

[PrincePlippy]

I want one so bad

[sesshypuppysbff]

OHMYGOD!!!!!!! I WANT ONE!!!!!

[amandaggogo]

I love his super serious face in this when he's playing them. Hahaha.

[blueisasomedancer]

I actually saw a ad for those, it was awesome.

[SymphoniaFan101]

I just saw a commerical on TV for singamajigs...

[AutodidactArtist]

You always write about subjects that MATTER. Or at least, the subject OF matter.

[AkemixMiyano]

i have singa majigs. they amuse my neighbor's kids

[redbarron718]

Wikipedia:

Sing-a-ma-jigs were popularized by John Green in his video "Making Adorable Music" which was uploaded to YouTube on October 22, 2010. In this video John models the red, light blue, yellow, and pink Sing-a-ma-jigs by harmonizing them and forming a simple melody.

lol

[dreamcutie32]

I'm asking for sing-a-ma-jigs for Christmas.

[theyxaj]

John, you are so cutely awkward.

[glic6616]

SINGAMAJIIIIIIIIIIIGS. It occurs to me I should buy some of these now to insure I have some when I have children.

[Jessiegurl77]

What is the toy and where can I buy it?

[planetlexicon]

This guy reminds me so much of my high school valedictorian, whom I love.

[bassmata65]

husdhijffsdzkjncsabdjknfz 2:03 the melody is left unresolved!

[naokotakeda919]

I just invested in 2 singa-ma-jigs. I'm 17 years old. No regrets.

[xCurlGrlx]

My cousin has these. I thought they were incredibly creepy, and I only found this video now xD

Doesn't really change my opinion.

[msladysaurus]

i didnt know what these were called until i saw a commercial today XD

[SeahorseyPrincess]

Oh my. I NEED a Singamajig in my life <3

[gloweybear707]

I bet the yeti was happy when Henry got the toy and when John started practicing...she has more patience then I do

[wolflover255]

I was in Giant Eagle and I saw a Singamajig. I had a nerd-out.

[underthisburningsky]

oh my god, am i the only one who finds this hilarious? i laughed so much that i cried a little. john green, you are the best.

[Inuyasharanmaelric]

[Inuyasharanmaelric]

OH MY FUCKING GOD I HAVE ONE OF THESE! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I RULE!

ROFLMFAO. Me and my sister play with these., she's one, and im 14. i regret nothing........

[CafeJude]

[SheEscapesReality]

I found mini ones for key chains that sing! They were AMAZING!

[thegingersnitch]

i need one of thoose. :D they rulee

[littlered460]

Right after seeing this video I was at the drug store with my friends and I FREAKED OUT because they had, like, thirty Sing-a-ma-jigs. At first my friends thought I was crazy...but then we ended up spending the next hour and a half sitting in the drug store playing with them and trying to make all thirty harmonize at once.

[plantlife1212]

what is keeping hank green from being the next justine beiber

that would be the collective will of all of nerdfighteria

[XDdaniiXD]

Sorry.. but those things look like there ready to give head. -.-

[skitts0fpwnies]

I. WANT. A SING-A-MA-JIG. Actually, I want at least 5, but you know what I mean.

[GingerAndProudOfIt]

Sing-a-ma-jigs exist in england! I never knew this until today. What was best about it was that I had an awful day and then I was shopping with my dad and saw some sitting on a counter, it made me laugh so much and basically cheered me up made my day :D Sadly he wouldn't buy them for me even though it's my birthday on monday :( apparently nearly seventeen year olds don't need sing-a-ma-jigs :D I disagree

[riversongftw]

I'VE SEEN SING A MAJIGS

[TheLavLav]

My brother, who's also a nerdfighter, and I went to the store the other day and we saw sing-a-ma-jigs! We made adorable music together. It was pretty awesome. Our last names are Green, so I think this is a good omen that you and your brother can one day have a bonding moment like that, too :)

[sStAaMrI]

I choked on my gum when you brought out the four Singamajigs, John. That hilarity almost killed me!

[loganmaynard40]

HEHE

[rainabraina]

Yes, I did watch this whole video with Paper Towns on my head...

[rorendaroxursox]

WHO COULD DISLIKE THIS?! REALLY!?

[THEBandNerdfighter]

The Pink sing-a-ma-jig was Flat.

My friends and I were on a band tour and we went to the toy aisle and had a sing-a-ma-jig concert feat. Justin Bieber Doll.

[epicvendore]

We have not as of yet seen a sing-a-ma-jig song...

[BlackDiamondDia]

they r so adorable. i want them so bad. my nieces bday id in December. im getting one for her and in sharpey writing DFTBA on its chest.

[JudeBarrett]

Today, I babysitted a 9 year old boy, and a 6 year old girl. When the girl and I were cleaning her room, I found a Sing-A-Ma-Jig. After freaking out, I, mature nerdfighter that I am, proceeded to have an epic Sing-A-Ma-Jig concert with a 6 year old. I guess it didn't help that I was freaking out about her My Little Pony toys as well.

But it was so worth it.

[moviemaster132]

@JudeBarrett Wait! You're a Brony?!?!

[JudeBarrett]

@moviemaster132

YES, OF COURSE. What kind of a sick person would I be if I wasn't? (:

[CupfullaCheerioz]

I feel like this is better than any ad ever for those things....

[vazette]

The look on his face when he plays those singamajigs.... INTENSE

[carikittygeek]

This made me laugh out loud. XD

[Talliwa123]

hey dad could you do me a favor? i need you to buy me 5000 more sing-a-ma-jigs

[kellieraylie]

I bought a Sing-A-Ma-Jig for my baby cousin yesterday.

My mom's embarrassed. She thinks it's annoying, probably because I was playing with it all the way through Target.

[shayyflower]

oh my god. i have one of these! and yeah it scares me.

[shayyflower]

@shayyflower and yeah... im 16 so...

[emvln92]

my nerdfighter friend just sent me a video of her playing the sing-a-ma-jig in the store. it made me want to watch this video again. so i did. 5 times. john, you are a musical sing-a-ma-jig genius.

[SuperSquishy64]

I want a Sing-A-Ma-Jig! they're soooooo awesome

[Laszification]

Odd but i found this video vaguely disturbing...as i am about to have kids i guess i am just hoping that i never see a sing-a-ma-jig again EVER. Lower case i showing my disrespect for singama whatever's...Peace.

[rawrness1230]

John, the fact that the corner of the room you are in is cleaner than my entire house could ever be already makes you infinitely more talented than me.

[ArtemisRampant]

My a capella group proudly owns a set of singamajigs. Our rendition of Justin Bieber's "Baby" was never the same again.

[MotionCitySoundtrac2]

I actually freaked out when i saw a singamajigs on my niece's play pen (I'm 14 and i still play toys... what?) and immediately took a picture with it, since it reminds me of you... and nerdfighteria xD

[lolareminscent]

this is so majestically epic

[LeticiaSantana12345]

You mean her ghostwriter write books, right? lol
