I know John Isn't allowed to sing anymore(don't know why) but I mean songs are just poems right?? I mean, why can't John write the songs that Hank sings?? He seems to be a decent lyricist IMO, at least..
Throughout the course of this video, I put on my head my puppy-sized elephant, my tribble, a picture of me holding a crocodile, my Purple Folder O' Story Parts, a box of Cheez-Its, my phone, my wallet, the key to my dorm room, and this origami polyhedron my friend made me.
When he said “What’s on your head?” at the very end of the video, and “Hank” right afterwards, I thought he was answering his own question. I thought he had an invisible Hank on his head.
Wait. Could this cathedral be the same as the one in John's book, The Fault In Our Stars? If so, I might just throw stuff, dance and laugh and be happy.
On my head I have a harmonica, a declaration of independence lampshade, and the entire Lord Of The Rings trilogy extended edition DVD box set. AH!! It all just fell off!! The harmonica hit my elbow and it really hurt!!
I watched this with the following items on my head, in quick succession: an outdated cell phone, a roll of duct tape, a crimper, a Chapstick, a wad of colored thread, and a smallish cardboard box full of Japanese erasers.
I should be researching Arthur Miller's biographical details and his contribution American theatre. Instead, my copy of Death of A Salesman is on my head.
1:20 (the mental floss eyeball) is so amazingly perfect on your head. I mean, you just need a purple outfit and a unicorn horn and boom, there you go. I'm glad I decided, over four years later, to revisit this treasure (the video, not the pinkeye!!) :)
I just want to thank you guys for making me feel better about being a nerd. I was recently sequestered with a number of nightmarishly popular people for a very long time in very very close quarters, and its given me a complex. Consequently, I've lost my powers, my nerd powers. And its been a long dark year ever since. But watching you guys is reminding me why I became a nerd in the first place, and bringing me back to Nerdtopia. So thank you, sincerely.
Re-watching this for the first time in a long while, and boy has he changed! I mean, granted he's sick here, but present John is so much more animated. Also I don't know if it's because of Henry or being on Youtube for nearly 4 years since this video, but present John seems simultaneously older and younger.
Try a laundry basket. The holes give you excellent vision while the feeling is much like that of being covered in a warm, yet light blanket...except it's cold and falls off...it's still strangely comfortable.
What's on my head? Most recently it happened to be uh.. a box of band-aids? A band-aid box? ... I don't know. It was great as something to put on my head though. :)
A Kirkland signature Premium Bottled Water Label. I always take the labels off of bottles and attach them to something e.g I have an A&W rootbeer and an Orange Fanta Label on the back of my laptop this very moment.
There is a stuffed cow on my head, by the name of Kou... strangely enough, he was already there before I began watching videos about putting stuff on your head...
K: XD Dont worry Kangakool, my suck levels are pretty high too. Buts it alright, cause I just made a video, about stuff on my head (which were a bag, bunny ears, star-light-up-thingies, and headphones).
Ironically enough, I have "Paper Towns on my head. I decided to read it because i've been following you and Hank here on YouTube and I put it on my head to mark my page because I don't have a bookmark handy and went to look up Woody Guthrie on Omnictionary and it linked me to this old video of yours. I appologize for thhat run on sentence :)
Thank you, John. I have an awful soar throat but no fever so I still have to go to school, and I feel plainly awful. I thought of this song and watched the video; now I feel just a little better.
i had to stay home from school because i'm really sick (not sick enough to watch vlogbrothers), and putting stuff on your head DOES make you feel better!
john, i wanted to give you a hug during the sad first half of this video.
but THEN you got happy :) i wanted some of that happiness. so now there's a pack of ready-to-burn cds, a cellphone, and an empty glass of chocolate milk on my head... all at once!
You should DEFINITELY go back to singing. I'd never heard your songs before tonight, but this and nanny nanny rich kid are now my two favourite songs! ^^

When you're sad and you've got pink eye,
The world seems rough and suck levels are high,
Just remember theres one that you can do, and it always works too,
You gotta put stuff on your head! Put stuff on your head!
Well it can be blue, Or it can be red,
The color doesn't matter if it's on your head!
Attach a photo of Woody right on to your mellon,
Or fix a christmas stocking to your sera bellum,
