    Parody of "The Good Life" (Weezer)
    The instrumental is made by myself, and this song is used as my outros.
    The artwork is made by myself, it's an homage to Kambara yoru no yuki (Pinkerton's cover).

    >Original cover/parody made in response to being demonetized
    >Claimed and demonetized
    FUNKe your poor soul
    (edit follows)
    This has been getting a huge amount of attention since red shirt man made a video on copyright law. I like red shirt man, and the video is good, but I gotta clear some stuff up for the sake of my notification box.
    The copyright claim placed on this video was not made by Weezer or by someone with the rights to their music. You can find Funke mentioning this on the main channels community tab. I didn't follow the fallout but other comments seem to pin it on some smalltime Brazilian company that thrives off this. I am happy to see the claim has since been removed.
    There was the irony of a video about demonotization getting demonotized. Now there is a second layer, the irony of people getting miffed about incorrect critique of copyright law, when the critique was in fact about incorrect use of copyright law all along. (and yeah I know weezer should still have the right to dunk on this in some interpretations, but they haven't, cause we all just tryna be cool here and the cover slaps)
    Have a nice night everyone, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

It’s so sad for very simple reasons that you can look so deeply into looking at the humorous intentions. I love it, so much. The satire is so emotional and wonderful, this is an experience that you can enjoy very few times until it gets truly dull. It all works so damn well. FUNKe, you were never off the track, you were always on it, and I hope this song showed you, that they’re better things out there and your doing very well. Thank you for this masterpiece.

    if anyone else did that please i'd love to sit down for some hot beverage sometime.

    I feel like I should say something. You can't make a song for only the money, or some other profit. It is always is done with passion. I feel like you can hear Justyn's voice and emotion resonate with this particular song in the entire mixtape. Mainly near the end where it turns in to a cover for the original song. He sounds as if he is going through something. I can also see the original song cover near the end as a thank you to everyone who stuck with him this long to remember that outro. Keep up the work, Justyn. Don't care if you post it here, on your main channel, or on a new channel made specifically for music. Just keep doing it. It's good.

      A parody, by definition, is an imitation that exaggerates the original for comedic effect, yes, but in musical terms a parody is just an imitation and doesn't particularly have to exaggerate for comedic effect. I still think this song is so f-ing good and beautiful and deserves all the acclaim it can get, but it's not a cover cuz he made his own lyrics. The only time this would count as a cover is when Funke uses the original chorus at the end to give a homage to the original.

    Lyrics:
    When I look in the mirror,
    I can't believe what I see
    Tell me, whose that FUNKey dude
    Staring back at me
    Watching viewer counts quickly taper off
    Fighting just to be shown in your sub box
    But time is running short, it's like a ticking cloooooock...
    Excuse the bitchin'
    I shouldn't complain
    I should give up streaming, and go back to my Main
    Is everything I create is fated not to be,
    And every cent I'll make, is stolen away from me
    And who do I got to blame?
    That stupid UA-cam Team
    AND I DONT WANNA GET DEMONETIZED AGAIN
    So I'm gonna sing my outros now instead
    It's a bitch that I can't use songs at the end,
    but I would much rather pay my rent
    So please do not come
    Please do not go
    demonetize me and my UA-cam shows
    I need money I can blow (WOAH! 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘩)
    Well screw this crap
    I've had it (𝘐-𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘪𝘵, 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘪𝘵)
    I've hit my Streamer Stride
    If UA-cam's in the gutter, (𝘸𝘰𝘰... )
    Then we'll just do it live
    I ain't gonna hurt nobody
    Ain't gonna cause a scene
    I just need to admit that
    I want butter with my cheese
    (𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦...) Hear me, I want butter with my cheese
    AND I DON'T WANNA GET DEMONETIZED AGAIN
    So I'm gonna sing my outros now instead
    It's a bitch that I can't use songs at the end,
    but I would much rather pay my rent
    SO PLEASE DO NOT STRIKE
    Please do not strike
    I promise you that I am playing this live
    I need money to survive (YEEEEEEEAAH! 𝘺𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘢𝘢𝘩...)
    I wanna go back... Go back...
    To a time when I was still on the track
    It's time I got back...
    Got back... and I don't even know how I got off the track
    I wanna go back (𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘩)
    AND I DON'T WANNA BE AN OLD MAN ANYMORE
    It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
    Shakin' booty makin' sweet love all the night,
    It's time I got back to The Good Life
    It's time I got baaaaaaaack... (𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬,)
    And I don't even know how I got off the track
    It's time I got back, It's time I got back,

I saw this in my YT recommended and so I was like “heck I’m sick anyhow, why not”. and about two thirds of the way in, i was overwhelmed with nostalgia. it’s crazy but it took me back to a different time. I remember listening to your outro back then, not knowing who it was who sang it. I remember humming the tune and trying to remember the words, but I never could get the words perfect. to hear those words again in perfect clarity, after knowing more about music and life, it really quite moved me. and for that, I cannot thank you enough, funke. :D

    unironically prefer this version just because the last chorus being "The Good Life" hits so fucking hard after the adjusted lyrics. also the vocals are just uhhh better??? no shade to rivers though
