    • @Naitsirk808
      @Naitsirk808 10 років тому +24

      Not sure about that to be honest. I was hoping to here the Wagner Tristan chord from 'Tristan and Isolde' referenced here, as musically quoted in Paul Lanskey's 'mild und leise' (1973 recording) along with a 6/4 measure like the Radiohead song 'Idiotech' ... instead we have a piss take of Thom Yorke. I guess I did a little too much research, right?

    • @Naitsirk808
      @Naitsirk808 10 років тому +2

      That said... Reggie Watts rocks! haha

    • @reynoldadamson9892
      @reynoldadamson9892 10 років тому +43

      Kristian Sharpe Yes, that research is a bit excessive for a casual parody of Idioteque. But I'd say this parody applies to other Radiohead songs, such as 15 Step, In Limbo, and some tracks from Amnesiac. Of course, if he had sampled Paul Lanksey's track just as Radiohead did it, it would be considered a cover, as well as 6/4 as well.

No one can do him accurate. . Example,, Fake plastic trees.. who the fk can sing fake plastic trees with the passion and gut wrenching purity that he performs.. it's unmatched.. it is slightly funny.. But to me it's not even a dull, depiction. I get the joke. I just...... U know what I mean probably. . lol

      Stephen Blake He wasn't trying to be mocking either. Actually, he wasn't "trying" anything... He was just DOING. THAT's part of what makes Reggie Watts so great : SPONTANEITY. I don't think there's any "intentions" per se in his stage performances. Who cares for intentions when it comes to a Reggie Watts performance anyway ? He just does his thing with the abilities and references he has in him at the moment he does it. If he wants to sing like Thom Yorke, that's just how it comes out, I don't think there's any filter whatsoever or questions like "will people think that I'm being derisive ?" He just does his thing. End of the story. If it makes us laugh, fine, if it doesn't, fine too. I just believe in the benevolent nature of this guy... I don't think anything really nasty or mocking can come out of a Reggie Watts performance.

    I am a massive Radiohead and Thom Yorke fan, and also a massive Reggie Watts fan. Why does everyone have to be so fucking tribal with their opinions these days? A guy imitates another guy in a band you like and that's enough to inspire you to spit brain-dead vitriol in their direction? As Bitteulze said, people need to relax and take a step back. It's just a joke.
