Turned 41 yesterday. Got a diagnosis for bursitis in my hip last week, early menopause. This song feels like an ode to me and my hubby. If he was awake right now...
She isn't really Gen X my dude. She was born in the last 9 months of Gen X, she grew up like the oldest cohort of Millennials. Kate is a year younger than her, do you think she is a different generation?
@@Nick-hi9gx Generations are arbitrary anyway, and don't really have definitive start and end times. So the transition is always a broad and fuzzy line. Hence the talk of "Xennials" and "zillennials," which I despise on a visceral level for no reason.
@@PilrigNorth A generation is 20 years, 4 cohorts, each of 5 years. They start either at the 00 or 01. Fools who have never studied any humanities think they are 15 years, or17 years, or whatever arbitrary thing they decide, and they start and end based on something that occurred in the US. This is why we don't use that nonsense in demography (unless it is mapping what people think they are against actual demographic reality orsomething) or human geography or even in history outside of the West (and even then mostly still just the US). Americans are OBSESSED with generation, and have almost no understanding of what it actually means. Someone born in 79 and someone born in 81 are in different generations and different cohorts, but will grow up more similarly than someone born in 70 and 90, despite the same generational difference. Which is why we use cohorts.
@@Nick-hi9gx I can relate. I'm part of that generation in between Boomers and GenX. Everyone calls us Baby Boomers even though our generational life experience was entirely different from theirs. I still call us Generation Jones.
@@PilrigNorth I don't know why my comment got deleted explaining this. A generation isn't arbitrary. It is 20 years. 4 cohorts, each of 5 years. This is whatwe use within academia. Because a generation isn't 15 years, or 17 years. It isn't dependent upon something that happened in the US, or to 1/4 of the world. The Boomers don't start in 45, they start in 40 (or 41, depending on if you use the 00 or 01 model), and the first cohort simply weren't part of the boom. Because the "boom" didn't happen anywhere but the US and Canada in 45. The actual demographic boom in the world started in 47, 48. The end of a generation and beginning of the next are in a bit of a grey area, X8-Y2 (78-82 for instance), because they tend to grow up as almost a bridge between generations. Riki was born in 79, Kate was born in 80, the two are technically different generations and different cohorts. Americans are OBSESSED with generation, and overwhelmingly don't know whata generation actually is. They are so Amerocentric they believe what happens in the US determines generations for theentire planet.
I'm a 39 male and I don't see the point in dating or relationships at this age.. Sex drive is negligible, womem don't love the same way men do and it's a whole bunch of sacrifices and comprises for what? Company?
@@aegaeon117 If you don't see a point, then you shouldn't do it. I would like another chance at finding a partner. My marriage ended due to no fault of the other, no acrimony, just life changes. I'm not quite sure what you mean by men and women loving differently. I've never met 2 people who love exactly the same.
I had pet turtles (tortoises in my case) for years, and tortoise sex is just so sad and pathetic. The poor male keeps climbing up and falling off, because the female demonstrably dgaf and just wanders around eating. Meanwhile, the male makes noises, and sounds like a duck with asthma. It's just bad.
Truly a love song close to my heart. I've had to use a sleep apnea machine since I was in my 20s, so I guess I was middle aged before middle age was cool. 😀
I honestly don't know if I've ever heard a song before where in the first sentence I get everything The song is about and fall in love with it. This is my middle-aged anthem.
This is so spot on. And, Riki's voice is so mellow and simultaneously brilliant in tone. I'd much rather go to a Riki Lindhome concert than see Taylor Swift.
I am so glad I exist in a universe where Riki Lindhome is still making music! Also, FWIW, you'll never be as old as me, kiddo. I got a whole 5 years on ya!
I am 10 years younger than Riki. That difference was comforting once, specifically when the Garfunkel and Oates song 29/31 came out. It is now terrifying.
My brain went BSOD for a moment while I tried to picture how one could have LP on vinyl, since that's audio only and LP videos are pretty worhless without the visuals...
Man Fred Armisen can really can play any role, first he played a middle aged lesbian bookshop owner for 9 seasons and killed it. Now he's playing a middle aged former member of a two piece comedy duo that helped youtube become what it is today called Garfunkel and Oates. AND HE DOES A CAMEO INSIDE OF THE SAME VIDEO??? Inception level comedy right there. How does he not have an Oscar???
As someone who just turned 40, my years of collecting silk robes and pajamas for sleep and comfort makes me feel like I made a right choice in life 👘🙌💤😴
The tinnitus solo got me 🤣
I scream-laughed when I heard it.🤣
So relatable!
Realest part of this real song
+
Same. Almost spat out the food in my mouth.
Comedy aside, this is actually, genuinely, a pretty sweet and wholesome song
especially the last line
Yup. My partner sent it to me at work. After laughing so hard, I pulled a muscle, I actually teared up a bit and called them to say, "I love you too."
Her voice and the instrumental are actually good... Reminds me of 80s and early 90s sound
The most accurate song about sex while aging that has ever been made. I'll have to remember that colonoscopy trick.
It's the new loophole.
I can't believe a song that uses "Let's Fuck" 20 times can actually be....wholesome.
"I'm an Adult Now" -- The Pursuit of Happiness 🇨🇦

😂😂😂😂 sorry, laughing at the husband being asleep lol
Lol!
Goodness Riki 😊
I'll be 40 in less than 5 years, so I guess I'll look forward to this when I'm 40. Lol
😅
Baited by curiosity, stayed for honesty. This song has something for everyone.
Knowing that it’s her husband on the sax adds another layer to this
I dinna realize they were married
I kept wondering if that was Fred but had no idea they were married!
Had to go back and look again because I missed it completely! Thanks for pointing it out
@@fatman.06 they secretly got married - - and she had a baby!
@@hifelicia615 apparently she was already like 7mos pregnant (not his) when they married
Love how she drops this after "don't google mommy"
I mean, obviously Don't Google Mommy is there to ensure she can keep turning out this kind of content :D
I thought the same thing! 😂 "Don't Google Mommy....because she's not stopping for you!" 😅
At this point she likely thinks that it really can't get much worse, so she might as well have fun with it.
Gen X continues to produce the music that best reflects us at any point in time.

Can we please appreciate the big guy dancing so emphatically!
Yes! He was awesome!
Not sure if I'm supposed to laugh or cry - this one hit a little close to home
I pulled a muscle just sitting here watching this when I tried to adjust in my seat.
I sprained a fat roll taking a dump this morning
We don't need to hear about your sex life.
@@rhettbaldwin8320 You don't need to click. Believe that's mate, mate.
I heard both my knees pop in arthritic sympathy.
I threw out my back swiping up to read the comments
The 'i just dont want to' is the realest part. You don't always have to be all the way down to clown; taking it easy is good too
Everyone groaning and complaining about their body aches after the dance is the perfect comedic touch!
All of them quietly in agony trying to pretend they're not hurting would've been trutful and funnier tho.
I felt those groans.
As a 41 year old man returning to dating for the first time since his 20s, holy cow this is accurate. 😂
Saying "holy cow" might date you as well
@@m.toddbounds3008 It definitely might, but probably not as much as the greying beard 😁

Just making the "Don't Google Mommy" minefield bigger and bigger for the kids, haha.
Honestly I think this is the sweetest Riki Lindhome song I've ever heard.
I (63) love it!!! Like an animal - as long as the animal is a turtle 🙂
I had pet turtles (tortoises in my case) for years, and tortoise sex is just so sad and pathetic.

@@demophys4883 😂
As a sufferer of both tinnitus and bursitis since I was a teenager, both of those lines went hard.
OMFG!!!! As a 55yr old do I still qualify????? My right hip is sore and i promise not to snore!!!
Thanks you Riki Lindhome.
Yeah her husband (Fred Armisen) is 57
She is a really good singer and very funny. I also like the white silk pajamas they look nice,comfortable, and cooling.
I like how this song is about honesty far more than it is about age-related afflictions.
This is one of the most romantic love songs I've ever heard.
No, I don't think the fact I'm 43 soon now plays into my assessment, why do you ask?
We need to talk about how Fred Armisen is in EVERYTHING.
Including in Riki. They're married!
@@danieldougan269lmao 😂
Too old to stay up this late, but it'll be as fresh in the morning!
Up at 3am to pee. This was a nice surprise in my feed.
That's the spirit guys! 😂
Aww, attaway to contribute to the vibe -- and seed a song revision 2nd release too!
Fred Armisen playing the sax in the background is a mood.
Speaking as a older person, this song kind of turned me on.
I know. Right?
radical acceptance is hot!
This is the best dancing I have seen from backup dancers in a very very long time.
Especially at the end, when they're all writhing on the floor and groaning... in pain.
as a broken 48 year old i LOVE this song! and the ending, omg, that was perfect. Thank you for creating this work of joy
Truly a love song close to my heart. I've had to use a sleep apnea machine since I was in my 20s, so I guess I was middle aged before middle age was cool. 😀
It's not fair that she looks this good and is singing about this. I feel like this is some kind of appropriation 😂
Everything is relative. She is working in Hollywood, after all!
Like a fine wine, Riki just keeps getting better while maturing. Both in her talents and in her looks.
This is so realistic and true! Take it from a 50yr old! And kind. So kind. Yes. Thank you. This is how it is. And this is good.
Finally a REAL generational song for us. Thank you for keeping it real, Word up… Uhm cant remember more of our youth slang, oh Mega awesome 😂
RAD!
Totally tubular lol
Totally wicked and awesome
Bitchin'!
I honestly don't know if I've ever heard a song before where in the first sentence I get everything The song is about and fall in love with it. This is my middle-aged anthem.
Fred Armisen on the sexy sax! 🎶 🎷
With the Big Man reverb on the outro!
Uncle Fester is Mr. Riki Lindhome! Two years now.
That's not Fred Armisen, lots of people get it wrong. That's Mlepnos. Very easy mistake to make.
@@jmrm01 Holy shit, I had no idea.
@@backtoearth1983 Ha, you had me going with that Mlepclaynos (also known as Jerry Barfralatistan and Jerry Barkakanatsan) stuff!
Loving the one dancer that is absolutely feeling it.
They’re all going to be feeling it tomorrow
@@chrisfranklin7547 Heyo!
@@chrisfranklin7547 too funny
This is so spot on. And, Riki's voice is so mellow and simultaneously brilliant in tone. I'd much rather go to a Riki Lindhome concert than see Taylor Swift.
The song must be played during every silver anniversary celebration ever!
the saddest most relatable incredibly hilarious song I've ever heard.
There's something so sweet and loving and beautiful about this song.
This is the perfect evolution to the Garfunkel and Oates songs I loved in my 20's 💖
I laughed so hard I pulled something in my back... thus proving the thesis of this video.
1:54 As a single middle aged man, many lyrics of this song speak to me…especially the part about the tinnitus…. 🎵🎤🎶😂
That's the best she has made for years. And it's unpleasantly realistic
I literally took of my CPAP mask and opened youtube just now to see this 😂
I am so glad I exist in a universe where Riki Lindhome is still making music! Also, FWIW, you'll never be as old as me, kiddo. I got a whole 5 years on ya!
She's still got it, and she can still get it, too.
Kudos to the director, great match of visuals to go with the song!
I am 10 years younger than Riki. That difference was comforting once, specifically when the Garfunkel and Oates song 29/31 came out. It is now terrifying.
WAY too much truth in this!
The only bright side is when the younger generations catch up to where I am now... 😆
“Can I get a fan?” omg
I lost it at the carpel tunnel line
Can definitely relate to that one.
😂😂😂😂
Oh dear lord. The truth is often funny when packaged this good. And kudos for that ending.
The people who are over 40 and can't relate just are not doing it anymore. This is the life. Great song.
Another gem. Lucky man Fred.
I am very happy that she is making music again. 😍🎶
That hit WAY too close to home. 🤣🤣🤣
Good job, Riki!
Reminds me of the dirty comedy vinyl LP discs my grandma had back in the 80s.
Be sure to check out Riki's other (Garfunkel and Oates) songs. You can make memories for your grandkids.
My brain went BSOD for a moment while I tried to picture how one could have LP on vinyl, since that's audio only and LP videos are pretty worhless without the visuals...
I’m so glad to hear new music from you!
I'm in my 50s. If I could find someone who actually wanted to, I'm sure it would be this way. Riki always nails it.
Fred Armisen killin it on the sax
Is her husband.
Going to share this with my dad because he has a sense of humor.
There's simply no end to the creativity. Great video!
Fred on sax is just priceless...
Getting old is so unfair. This so real!

Can't wait for the toddler to google this! The outtake was the best!
This is so sensible a topic that even the afraid-of-little Riki Lindholm had to write comedy song in the title. ;-)
Riki please keep making these there absolutely hilarious and a great alternative for Garfunkel and Oates (I know they aren’t anything alike)
Riki and Kate basically never miss.
I relate to nearly every one of these conditions. 🎉❤ Love you. Love Fred! 💓
Such an unromantic scenario song coming from such a gorgeous woman!!!!!
59 year old widow who is getting out in the dating world again. Truer words have never been sung. 😂😂😂😂😂
Outstanding...... just outstanding!
Fred Armsion on saxophone? The dance team is on fire!
Great as always ! Thanks :)
As someone who just turned 40, my years of collecting silk robes and pajamas for sleep and comfort makes me feel like I made a right choice in life 👘🙌💤😴
Thank you. I almost don't feel quite so old anymore. 😂
Ha, ha...😄 You wear your Maturity well, Riki. Do Continue to March. ❤
Thank you Riki; please keep doing what makes you happy:) I appreciate all the laughter...
Great start of my morning! Had a good laugh there at the end after the cut 😂
This broke me. Literally. I was laughing so hard. I threw out my back.
Best song I've heard in awhile made my day.
This is a both a bop and remarkably accurate.
The most romantic thing I've ever heard.
The toes crammed is golden!
Lol love the contrast between new Kate and new Riki. Love both!
Absoluty nailed it - make something depressing into something funny - pure medicine! 🤣🤣🤣
She never disappoints 😅😅😂😂😂😂
Finally someone makes an accurate love song! 😂
Beautiful, hope this goes viral!
Glad you're back! Used to love your songs back in the Garfunkel & Oates days. New songs are just as good!
One of my new favorite songs ...it's still funny every time
Debating showing this to my friend in her 60s. I feel like she might appreciate it
Jesus, I'm crying. This is so painfully true!!
I don't laugh a lot in menopause, but here I am laughing. You are super hilarious. We need funny in 2024.
Hysterical... both humorous and hysteria inducing!
That's the most relatable song I've ever heard. Thank you for seeing me😂
🤣🤣 perfect song for valentines days 🤣🤣
Brilliant and so true !!
