you should hear him in his Skyhill album. my god. b 4 i got surgery for a ruptured disk, I would just play that while in the thralls of heavy pain killers. It def gave me peace in the midst of that hell. personal favs are, Storms of September The city as you walk Firefly Different frequencies Afterglow and Run with the Hunted
The thing I appreciate most about these covers is the restraint. You manage the energy beautifully. Every NSP cover so far has boiled down to the way the song *feels*. Truly essential.
RMD Cade this is exactly what I've been trying to find the words to express. It's like they breathe new life into the songs I've heard so many times, taking what makes them good and highlighting it.
RMD Cade Which is why I can't watch the sad covers regularly over and over. The Everybody wants to rule the world cover is not something I expected to cry for. Frick I'm getting emotional just thinking about it.
RMD Cade I appreciate that this one doesn't have the same reverb and layering they normally use. I find most NSP music to be really muddy for that reason.
I don't know. I think it's all the more likely your consciousness will be drifting forever through the void, and in the distance you will hear... "I've got a heart boner for you!"
I saw NSP in Hawaii a month before my mom and stepdad were killed in a car wreck while driving to my grandmother's funeral. We played Elton John's Candle in the Wind at their funeral. I remember telling her just how much fun I had seeing them to the point it probably annoyed her, lol! I was afraid that sticking with their content would remind me of that awful time- but it's too awesome! It does make me go back to that era, but it also lifts me up from the pain.
Whenever I think of Rocket Man my first thought was immediately William Shatner's version, but now the version I'll think of is the one where Danny beautifully harmonizes with himself while looking like the world's sexiest cat burglar.
I only knew about Shatner's version because of the Family Guy parody with Stewie lol I hadn't heard how the song was actually sung until years later. Danny's voice really shines here. I love when he sings slower songs like this.
Man. I've always been extremely picky about covers on songs because usually they mess with the song so much or just don't do it justice. I haven't seen a NSP cover I haven't absolutely loved.
Well. Heat of the moment was changed a lot. They really screwed with the chorus. Although I didn't think it was bad, I just think they made it too upbeat.
I feel like Dan and Brian hold these songs too close to mess with them. I mean if you listen to one episode of game grumps you can tell that these 70's, 80's, and 90's singers are all Dan's heroes and he wants to honor them.
I disagree, personally. There are a lot of terrible covers out there, sure, but my favorite covers are the ones where a particularly talented artist (or group) does change the song to suit them and their style. Just a different opinion, though. I've loved most of NSP's covers, as well, so we're on the same page there. (:
Man its these gorgeous cover songs that make me think of the fans they must be starting to get coming because of how awesome they do them, then discover the rest of NSPs songs after and are like WHAT THE HECK
David Bridges oh I totally agree, it just funny to me that that's not going to be some new people's first introduction to NSP, this is, so when they get to the real magic it might catch a few by surprise xD
This is already the glittering jewel that sits atop the crown that is this cover album. If this is the caliber of song we can expect from their 2nd Under the Covers CD, we're in for a real treat.
My grandma came into the room as I was watching this video, took one look at you and said, "does he want to be a racoon?". I have not laughed that hard in a while
I think it's a play on their costumes ninja Brian has a black ski mask with his eyes open, while Dan has a black streak over his eyes and Dan is dressed flamboyant, while ninja Brian is oppositely very formal.
Can we just take a moment to admire how far their music video quality has improved from when they first started? It was never bad, but it was certainly amateur, understandably. Now it looks so much more professional. It's amazing to witness that progression.
Nicholas Snow when they started they had a small budget so instead of working around it, they embraced it. With these videos they now have money and also it's more serious so they make the music videos not silly as fuck
Honestly, it's quite possible that they just used a different director. A lot of people don't realize how much of an impact a good director can have on these kinds of things. I was a film major in college; I've done a lot of freelance work for similar projects (mostly short films). I've directed many times but sometimes I get asked to be an engineer or another part of the crew. I can tell you right now that when I'm on a set and I'm not the director, all I'm doing is thinking about how I would be approaching each scene. Typically it's very different. Every director brings something different, has different skills, and different ideas. This particular director seems very good and you can see the style he likes. Odds are, NSP had the idea for this video in mind and saw that this guy could make it happen. I think it worked out pretty well.
Man I love how Danny actually articulates what he’s singing so I actually know what these songs are saying despite hearing them for forever. Can’t wait for the rest of the album!
Elton John's original I could make out every word, but yeah I know what you mean. Half of Micheal Jackson's lyrics are overly stylized gobbledeegook to me. "Pickles with a porn star, can't stop till you get enough!"
Dan, I gotta say I really admire your diction. I can always understand every single word you say with no problem. I mean, I don't think I ever knew the lyrics to this song until right now
Saw them live in Chicago. The entire arena was filled with flashlights for this song... it was like looking out into a sea of stars. Absolutely beautiful.
I legitimately can't put my finger on what makes dan's voice so great. He actually sounds, how do i say this... majestic and glorious. His voice is just so great and sounds much better than many modern-day mega famous artists. I could only imagine that this is the voice of an actual angel and I really mean that. I'm positive that this man's incredible, unexplainably amazing voice is what plays when you ascend to heaven. Dan's voice is absolutely phenomenal and the best I've ever heard. Nobody's going to see this comment anyways. Why did i type all of that?
There's a sort of homegrown, "I'm just some dude" quality to his voice. It's not overly polished in post like every other popular musician these days, which makes it almost seem like he is singing *to* you, not *for* you.
His fucking facial expressions and acting were perfect for this whole thing, absolutely life-changing as usual, NSP! I hope you read this, and in case you do, keep making the world a brighter and better place by spreading awesomeness, I just want you guys to know that you're real heroes to a lot of people!
Baddazzrider Turner z Dude, I think it had something to do with the song. Danny feels the music. And it manifests in this video. That's how much love and passion Danny has for these songs, otherwise he wouldn't cover it and allow us to feel the magic with him.
I like how calm and together it feels. Danny's Rocket Man is very stoic, accepting of his fate, compared to Elton John's more mournful tone. In the original, the high notes are all in the backing vocals, which always seemed to me like the Rocket Man's true sorrow pushing past a veneer of calm and professionalism projected by the main vocals, while in this cover all the vocal tracks unite on the high notes; Danny's Rocket Man will not hide the way he feels.
JHYW Totally agreed, i am really so happy that Dan is just so thoughtful about music and understands the music he loves and is able to make those decisions.
This was amazingly directed, in my opinion. The lights and clothing are glamorous, yet the light blurs everything, keeping us from seeing the true images of Danny, Ninja Brian and the Guitar Bros. It kinda shows that there is a glamour and beauty but that is just a sheen over what the actual meaning of the song. Almost all shots with Danny show him alone, either in a corner or with a rather closed off body language in comparison to his usual open, happy style, emphasizing how it is “lonely out in space.” And even though the space is covered in mirrors it’s claustrophobic and tight, lacking in any ability to leave. Maybe I’m reading waaay to into this but hey it’s still an amazing music video.
The original song is about Elton John's Heroin addiction, and his public, and even private persona were not telling the whole story of his pain as he was "High as a kite." Even if this wasn't the exact train of thought, I am sure there was some thought behind the cinematography.
@@slumbruzzler6936 to be fair. Ninja Brain doesn't *need* weapons. Cause he is one. He could propel himself at you. And you'd get cut in half upon impact. He just doesn't like doing that all the time.
hats off to the guitar bros! Also Ninja Brians eyes dont only hold death... but also a hidden sensitivity, stored deep inside... like really really deep...
He's a loving father of course there's emotion in his eyes ^__^ Danny has an incredible voice and it brings tears of joy to my eyes to know that him, Arin, Suzy, Ross, Barry , Kevin, Holly, and Brian really are kind in person as they are on gamegrumps. ^__^ it's awesome!
My body: I require sleep My brain: Listen to Rocket Man My body: No we need to sleep you fool. My brain: Fine but we're gonna have him sing us to sleep.

Kim Jong-un comes onto UA-cam finds this, tears stream down his face, then he's conflicted he can't be the Rocket Man and blow up the world if Ninja Sex Party exists, gets his whole country to support Ninja Sex Party and starts bridging the gap between the world
Juan Sanchez both are great, you can enjoy both and still like the original or this version more I don't think it matters which one is better, this is a cover, it's just another version of a great song
Saw this live at the Chicago 10th Anniversary show, and Dan's vox plus the gorgeous guitar backing, amidst all the waving lights in the audience, is a genuinely precious moment for me. It's a memory I hold dear, especially in this age where we're all a little lonely.
6 years later and i still come back to this video. Danny puts a sad, haunted heart into this song that Elton John couldn't. it's so moving. and the composition of the music is spectacular. so delicate but powerful.
Honestly dan should cover more songs like this. He is such an excellent singer-and it’s been such a joy to see how he has developed over the last 3 years of watching Him and arin on grumps- plus listening to all his old songs and new songs. Great job you guys
Agreed. I still like their songs where he often harmonizes, but more often than not it overpowers his actual singing voice. This song had the perfect blend of singing voice and harmony.
For some reason the thing this makes me feel is the overwhelming and obsessive desire to see someone draw a wonderful picture of Danny soaring through the cosmos as he is in this video crying twinkling tears of stardust as he observes how beautiful the universe is and is able to feel all the joy he brings us. We all love you Danny and you deserve nothing but the best this universe has to offer. Never stop being you.
saw it in toronto and they showed all 3 cover videos! pour some sugar on me, rocket man and idk if they announced what the third video is gonna be so i dont wanna say
I wonder if Dan's vocals could handle Someone Saved My Life Tonight. It may be just a little too high or just right for his range. Would LOVE to see him try that one too.
I'm really digging this cover. The nature of NSP's usual songs doesn't always show how good Dan's voice is, but he sounds incredible on songs like this.
True that’s why I love Under the Covers so much because it shows how much talent Dan actually has. (Not that the original album don’t but UTC really emphasizes it)
I think it's definitely their most adventurous cover. How in the world will that song sound in piano, guitar, and Dan? p.s. It's going to be layered as all hell. A veritable choir of Dans.
I moved away from home and my family to a new country six weeks after giving birth to my daughter, all while suffering severe postpartum depression. I felt guilty that I was taking special moments away from my parents since this was their first grandchild. Every morning I would wake up with anxiety up to 11, sleep-deprived, drowsy from the medications, very worried about our stuff arriving in good conditions, living in an AirBnb in a strange neighborhood, with the daily thought of everything being easier if I would just die. I would play music every morning to ease my anxiety and my scary thoughts, and one morning, while playing this song and singing it to my daughter, she smiled at me for the first time. I cried tears of joy. The next day, I woke up with no anxiety. Every day was slightly better after that. Now I can't imagine life without her. So I'll keep this cover in my memory always. Thanks Danny. Funny thing, we had named her Daniela.
He was BORN from a vat of glitter. The Gods realised that have Helen of Troy born from the dirt was not enough--that they had to turn it up to 11... and thus, in much the same manner as the origin of Helen of Troy, they pulled Danny Sex Bang from a vat of glitter... the vat was made out of currently functional guitar amps--with several electric guitar duels happening as he was pulled from the glitter.
I love his videos as well, but my mom just came in while I was watching this and I guess all she saw was the outfit Danny's wearing and she apparently doesn't agree with me
I'm sitting on a bus on my way from coaching. My team sleeps peacefully as the quiet night ride rocks us softly. We won of course. Then I saw this upload and was elated. Then I started listening. I realized as the world past by slipping into its slumber Ninja fucking Sex Party made the world feel so beautiful. The world was happy. I felt happy. Thank you boys for making the world a little bit better with your voices and your awesomeness! Can't wait to buy the whole album!.
NSP, Guitar Bros. This message will probably be buried by all the other comments, but I just want you to know how much we appreciate the music (whether it be cover or original). Keep it up!
you answered your own question, the fabulousness of the boots is so intense that it manifests into a physical strength that prevents his ankles from breaking.
I got to see this performed at the NSP 10th anniversary concert and it was an experience. Thank you Danny and Brian and to the Super Guitar Bros as well.
God damn it okay so like every single song that NSP has covered so far is a song that I grew up on, singing in the car with my father. Now that Dan's singing these songs that I grew up singing in the car with my dad its making me so emotional. Dan has been a huge inspiration for me - I found Grumps + NSP at a really low point in my life when I had suffered from very bad depression/OCD - just to see how far someone can go in their life. Even Brian's a big idol for me - I'm going into college soon as a science major, and I always thought that one couldn't dual handle STEM and liberal arts, but here's Bri dressing up like a ninja and playing the piano dramatically. My life has changed so much but the songs and the memories stay the same, and they're such happy memories that I have to associate with some band that sings about fucking in zero gravity. I cried listening to Take on Me, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and even Pour Some Sugar on Me because they have such a heavy emotional connection. When the next album comes out I'm ordering two copies (again) because not only do I love the sentiment, but Dan + Bri have been such major parts in my lives and I want them to continue to be. I hope I can thank them in person some day.
I heard the first word and I gasped and covered my mouth with my hands. Dan, your voice is so fucking beautiful. I have never been able to be swayed by a voice alone before. You're the only one. I never cry from songs or movies, but you're going to bring me to tears. Please never stop what you love, because we love you and everything you do.
"And all the science I dont understand"
Cut to Ninja Brian understanding all the science
He has a PHD

The thing I appreciate most about these covers is the restraint. You manage the energy beautifully. Every NSP cover so far has boiled down to the way the song *feels*. Truly essential.

RMD Cade I appreciate that this one doesn't have the same reverb and layering they normally use. I find most NSP music to be really muddy for that reason.
There's no question about my sexuality regarding Daniel Sexbang Avidaniel. His name is the only cardinal direction on my sexual compass.
ROCKET DAN

Isn't that the Japanese name for Team Rocket?
The Japanese name for Team Rocket is TEAMU ROUCKETU, everyone knows that
excuse me sir, now that you've officially won the internet from now till the end of the known universe what do you plan on doing with your success?

I hope Dan is the one singing at the gates of heaven, welcoming everyone.

•Chickens8 • Nah m8 been here for years just wanted to point it out
he always did
This makes me re-appreciate this song.

This was one song that car ads used so it fell of my radar
This makes me re-appreciate Elton John. Damn good musician
Good, now turn this inferior version off and go listen to the original.
Nice joke Film.

There's something aesthetically pleasing about a ninja in a tux.

Nothing can get Shatner out of my head.

Why does his outfit look like something Elton John would've actually worn back then lmao
Because he totally would've wore that. But with some weird glasses and sparkly face paint probably instead of black.
Man its these gorgeous cover songs that make me think of the fans they must be starting to get coming because of how awesome they do them, then discover the rest of NSPs songs after and are like WHAT THE HECK
Hey now. These covers couldn't compare to such classics, like "No reason boner."
And are you gonna just ignore the unforgettable masterpiece that is "FYI I Wanna F Your A"?
What about Objects of desire, ya don't get much better than that.
oh, I'm sorry, do you not think Unicorn Wizard shouldn't be performed by Elton John, then?
David Bridges oh I totally agree, it just funny to me that that's not going to be some new people's first introduction to NSP, this is, so when they get to the real magic it might catch a few by surprise xD
Who else really wants to see them do Piano Man -Billy Joel?
BenOfficial That would be amazing. It would fit right in with these covers.
TheAlmightySpode I think it would match Danny's voice really well.
If Brian didn't hate Billy Joel I'd love to hear The Longest Time
BenOfficial yesss
YES!
This is already the glittering jewel that sits atop the crown that is this cover album. If this is the caliber of song we can expect from their 2nd Under the Covers CD, we're in for a real treat.

This album is gonna be legendary.
There are a few other songs that have the potential to be just as great as this, if done right. This album is going to be incredible.
My grandma came into the room as I was watching this video, took one look at you and said, "does he want to be a racoon?". I have not laughed that hard in a while

Isn't it quite easy to harmonise with yourself? It's the same voice so...
Actually it's physically impossible without editing
As it turns out you can! (well, not everyone) Look up Snarky Puppy feat. Lalah Hathaway - Something. It comes in at around 6:10 into the video.
Truest statement ever

Brian: Let’s do Rocket Man.
Dan: Oh cool, like Rocket Raccoon?
Brian: No, like a spaceman.

YES! About a year ago I actually had a dream where Danny was singing Africa. I've been waiting/hoping for that cover since then :')
Dan, I gotta say I really admire your diction. I can always understand every single word you say with no problem. I mean, I don't think I ever knew the lyrics to this song until right now
Nicole Miller Same.
Not sure what you're talking about. Elton John is pretty damn clear compared to many other singers.
Same
You just had to use "diction" on an NSP video didn't you?
my thoughts exactly , especially with take on me- i was like, "that song has /words?!/"
The rumor come out: does Dan Avidan is sexy?
Weolson it's not a rumour if it's a confirmed fact
The most discuss in the media in the today about his sexy
Yes, more of this. ^~^

Baddazzrider Turner z Dude, I think it had something to do with the song. Danny feels the music. And it manifests in this video. That's how much love and passion Danny has for these songs, otherwise he wouldn't cover it and allow us to feel the magic with him.
Baddazzrider Turner big fan of your videos, particularly like the one called ‘coons’, very tasteful
Their My Heroes In Entertainment
Baddazzrider Turner Danny gets it !!! So awesome he knows!
So I'm in the middle of a 'shroom trip right now and Jesus Christ what an absolutely beautiful cover. It brought me to literal tears.
Mephitz bless you. 😂
Oml this is an absolute MOOD
I like how calm and together it feels. Danny's Rocket Man is very stoic, accepting of his fate, compared to Elton John's more mournful tone. In the original, the high notes are all in the backing vocals, which always seemed to me like the Rocket Man's true sorrow pushing past a veneer of calm and professionalism projected by the main vocals, while in this cover all the vocal tracks unite on the high notes; Danny's Rocket Man will not hide the way he feels.
JHYW Totally agreed, i am really so happy that Dan is just so thoughtful about music and understands the music he loves and is able to make those decisions.
wow you really said what everyone was thinking but couldnt really put into words
I got the same story out of this. These covers are so much more thought out and I'm really loving it
I wish it were possible to get an IV of his voice directly into my bloodstream.
cubbies4life55 Liquid Game Grumps? I’ll just take some Liquid NSP.
I'm pretty sure there are several drugs that mimic the effects of Danny's voice.
Johnyliltoe ya but they can't be made on Earth, you have to imported from Dan's home world on the far side of the Galaxy.

GODDAMN IT who let danny in the eyeliner again
Grump and Raccoon: The Show.
Still not enough eyeliner
Sorry that's my bad.
Damn it azera!
I'm sorry ninja brian stabbed me.
This was amazingly directed, in my opinion. The lights and clothing are glamorous, yet the light blurs everything, keeping us from seeing the true images of Danny, Ninja Brian and the Guitar Bros. It kinda shows that there is a glamour and beauty but that is just a sheen over what the actual meaning of the song. Almost all shots with Danny show him alone, either in a corner or with a rather closed off body language in comparison to his usual open, happy style, emphasizing how it is “lonely out in space.” And even though the space is covered in mirrors it’s claustrophobic and tight, lacking in any ability to leave. Maybe I’m reading waaay to into this but hey it’s still an amazing music video.
The original song is about Elton John's Heroin addiction, and his public, and even private persona were not telling the whole story of his pain as he was "High as a kite." Even if this wasn't the exact train of thought, I am sure there was some thought behind the cinematography.
I agree to both of these
Ninja Brian in that white tux is looking sharper than a knife.
Does he feel sharp as a knife? Cuz that might actually be a knife... like in you abdomen.
@@slumbruzzler6936 to be fair. Ninja Brain doesn't *need* weapons.
Cause he is one. He could propel himself at you. And you'd get cut in half upon impact.
He just doesn't like doing that all the time.
hats off to the guitar bros! Also Ninja Brians eyes dont only hold death... but also a hidden sensitivity, stored deep inside... like really really deep...
... He kills... Because he cares.
You can't say he holds more than just death, and then only describe death.
That's the poison he's stored in his eyeballs.
I think this actually expands the story of Ninja Brian. Somewhere, Sometime, Somehow, he lost. Now he kills because that is all he has left.
He's a loving father of course there's emotion in his eyes ^__^ Danny has an incredible voice and it brings tears of joy to my eyes to know that him, Arin, Suzy, Ross, Barry , Kevin, Holly, and Brian really are kind in person as they are on gamegrumps. ^__^ it's awesome!
Danny is our rocket man!
You could almost say our Rocket DAN. Get it? Huh? Huh?
I think it's cute
tbb033 best joke today honestly.
Oh hey David! Also I agree with that wholeheartedly. He is... majestic.
tbb033 hu hu
My body: I require sleep
My brain: Listen to Rocket Man
My body: No we need to sleep you fool.
My brain: Fine but we're gonna have him sing us to sleep.
Can't sleep when his voice gives me a lady boner
Im literally in the same situation as you right now (2:23 am btw)
CAMDYN TRAVIS wait why is that me
My Brian: Ninja choke holds you to sleep
i could not agree more
Danny, please stop making me question my sexuality.
What are you asking it?
Dude just accept the hardness of your shaft in your hand. There is no escape.
It's not a question when the answer is yes.
Dan sexual
As a lesbian I second this.
my mom will love this. she's a huge EJ fan, and you do his song SO much justice. thank you.
TheLastHylianTitan showed it to my mom too she loved it.
NSP has filled the void left by David Bowie and Prince. They are now the saviors of the universe.
Ethan Neher they need to do a cover of Flash by Queen now that you say that
I think that's too far
Well duh! Remember 6969? Those bastards saved our future!
They've been saving the world since Samurai Abstinence Patrol
They still need to fill the void of Queen and Tom Petty imo

I'd give anything to hear him do Comfortably Numb. That and The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.
"All this science I don't understand."
"Well, I have a PHD so..."
A PHD! Wow, you should try watching Rick and Morty.
In case you didn't understand, Jacob. He's referring to Ninja Brian having a PhD. It was a joke.
Jacob brown *whoosh*
My joke -------->
your head
Jacob brown don't try to twist it around, Jacob. You lost in the joke battle
Kim Jong-un comes onto UA-cam finds this, tears stream down his face, then he's conflicted he can't be the Rocket Man and blow up the world if Ninja Sex Party exists, gets his whole country to support Ninja Sex Party and starts bridging the gap between the world
Good Job! You've prevented the chance of an upcoming nuclear apocalypse! Here's a cookie! They are guaranteed to taste of happy!
Is this real-world fanfiction?
It's a cover of an Elton John song and as much as I like NSP I think the original is better
Juan Sanchez both are great, you can enjoy both and still like the original or this version more I don't think it matters which one is better, this is a cover, it's just another version of a great song
my acne cleared up. my depression is cured. my crops are flourishing. all because of this.
GlitteryGraveyard and my sexuality has never been more in question. Thanks dan
GlitteryGraveyard my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
LOL!! Loved your reply, T Dub!
All it did for me is make my dick hard.
mom's spaghetti?
Saw this live at the Chicago 10th Anniversary show, and Dan's vox plus the gorgeous guitar backing, amidst all the waving lights in the audience, is a genuinely precious moment for me. It's a memory I hold dear, especially in this age where we're all a little lonely.
"I miss my wife"
Which one mr.sexbang
69th like
Katie or whatever her name was from 6969
I think this one is frome avidan not sexbang
Me. I'm the wife he misses.
Happy to announce that I'm like number 420
As much as I love Danny and Brian I'd like to take a moment to appreciate Super Guitar Bros, they all did an amazing job ^^
Hell Yeh!
This is the cure to all sadness
6 years later and i still come back to this video. Danny puts a sad, haunted heart into this song that Elton John couldn't. it's so moving. and the composition of the music is spectacular. so delicate but powerful.
Honestly dan should cover more songs like this. He is such an excellent singer-and it’s been such a joy to see how he has developed over the last 3 years of watching Him and arin on grumps- plus listening to all his old songs and new songs. Great job you guys
Agreed. I still like their songs where he often harmonizes, but more often than not it overpowers his actual singing voice. This song had the perfect blend of singing voice and harmony.
Agree, there's only so much emotion you can put into comedy music and I'm glad Dan's voice is reaching its full potential in these covers
First eyeliner in pour some sugar, now a beard and heavy shadow... Danny please I only have so much man juice I can give!
He's becoming a Minstrel! Well, he already is, but not the bad kind.
this comment made my day!
Punks With Pokèballs I liked the eyeliner. But this makes me keep thinking he has caveman makeup on
DeathnoteBB oh GOOD I'm not the only one getting serious caveman vibes cause of it
+Sam May i think is the lack of eyebrows and the facial hair that makes him completely different.
fly me to the moon jewfro-daddy
For some reason the thing this makes me feel is the overwhelming and obsessive desire to see someone draw a wonderful picture of Danny soaring through the cosmos as he is in this video crying twinkling tears of stardust as he observes how beautiful the universe is and is able to feel all the joy he brings us. We all love you Danny and you deserve nothing but the best this universe has to offer. Never stop being you.
starting a petition to have NSP cover every song on my Spotify library because clearly they're going to improve every single one
spotify is overrated and dying, you should go to Spoofy
Spoofy's great for when you just need to lie down and decompose.
Beautiful rendition guys! My mom raised me on Elton John, so this song holds a special place in my heart. ❤
Damn when I saw tris music video at their concert in Nashville it was so emotional. All of that is comin back now. Love you Danny
A Drunk Hobbit I was there too. I don't think their was a person not singing or a dry eye in the audience that night.
Saw them in Denver where they showed "Pour Some Sugar on Me", it was hot.
Sameeeee
HeyitsDakta we almost had Danny crying in Nashville. I have a drawer of things from that trip it was so awesome. I can't wait for their next tour
saw it in toronto and they showed all 3 cover videos! pour some sugar on me, rocket man and idk if they announced what the third video is gonna be so i dont wanna say
I wonder if Dan's vocals could handle Someone Saved My Life Tonight. It may be just a little too high or just right for his range. Would LOVE to see him try that one too.
I'm pretty sure he could reach a high A??? I can't remember it's some crazy note or something. His range is impeccable!
God thank you for this gorgeous man, so we can listen to his angelic voice and witness his beauty.
Danny is the kinda man that could fiddle my diddle or diddle my fiddle, the order being 100% up to him. Know what I mean?
Ninja Brian... Are you okay, man? I'm here for you.
That's cute kid. Stay away from ninja Brian; he doesn't show emotion because he doesn't need to. He plays music and he kills, thats it!
Elton John does that to people. Even Brian cannot withstand his amazing work, he crumbles like a sexy widdle baby.
Ninja Brian in a white suit gives me life
Something about Dan's eyes just makes my heart fill with peace and happiness in this video...goosebumps
I agree, especially when he stares longingly into the camera at the end.
Goddamn, Ninja Brian cleans up real nice.
I'm really digging this cover. The nature of NSP's usual songs doesn't always show how good Dan's voice is, but he sounds incredible on songs like this.
True that’s why I love Under the Covers so much because it shows how much talent Dan actually has. (Not that the original album don’t but UTC really emphasizes it)
God, I'm excited for the Africa cover.
I think it's definitely their most adventurous cover. How in the world will that song sound in piano, guitar, and Dan?
p.s. It's going to be layered as all hell. A veritable choir of Dans.
Oh my goodness yes we NEED THAT
CrinkleCrokz he's doing head of the moment and i'll love be it
I'm waiting for the More Than a Feeling cover. Its been on-again-off-again favorite song since I first heard it.
CrinkleCrokz I want
I moved away from home and my family to a new country six weeks after giving birth to my daughter, all while suffering severe postpartum depression. I felt guilty that I was taking special moments away from my parents since this was their first grandchild. Every morning I would wake up with anxiety up to 11, sleep-deprived, drowsy from the medications, very worried about our stuff arriving in good conditions, living in an AirBnb in a strange neighborhood, with the daily thought of everything being easier if I would just die.
I would play music every morning to ease my anxiety and my scary thoughts, and one morning, while playing this song and singing it to my daughter, she smiled at me for the first time. I cried tears of joy. The next day, I woke up with no anxiety. Every day was slightly better after that.
Now I can't imagine life without her. So I'll keep this cover in my memory always. Thanks Danny.
Funny thing, we had named her Daniela.
Danny is a Rocket Man.
His looks and voice are out of this world.
Danny fell into a vat of glitter, and was transformed into even more of a sexy beast.
joe hardy transformed in to Danny sex-Glam
He was BORN from a vat of glitter. The Gods realised that have Helen of Troy born from the dirt was not enough--that they had to turn it up to 11... and thus, in much the same manner as the origin of Helen of Troy, they pulled Danny Sex Bang from a vat of glitter... the vat was made out of currently functional guitar amps--with several electric guitar duels happening as he was pulled from the glitter.
that was actually really cool
Grant Manor Why so surprised? NSPs videos are always amazing!
I love his videos as well, but my mom just came in while I was watching this and I guess all she saw was the outfit Danny's wearing and she apparently doesn't agree with me
Neon City well your moms a bitch then lmao
Did you come in assuming it was gonna be bad?!
nah, it was just REALLY gud
I don't know why but I really enjoy Danny with a beard like he has in this video.
Someone put TEARS ON MY PILLOW!
Quoodle it was me... I'm sorry
nice reference
My favorite series of theirs.
I couldn't agree more
I saw this live in concert in Nashville a while back. I cried then and I cried once more now.
your comment doesn't match your profile picture
I'm sitting on a bus on my way from coaching. My team sleeps peacefully as the quiet night ride rocks us softly. We won of course. Then I saw this upload and was elated. Then I started listening. I realized as the world past by slipping into its slumber Ninja fucking Sex Party made the world feel so beautiful. The world was happy. I felt happy. Thank you boys for making the world a little bit better with your voices and your awesomeness! Can't wait to buy the whole album!.
What sport?
Syaqir Emeer we may never know
Casci Chin Productions so pure man
Reading this made the song even greater to listen to, thank you :)
Coolest. Coach. Ever.
Dan: The Rocket Man
Arin: The ROCKET SHIP!
and i'm the rocket raccoon
I cannot understand why this is listed under comedy.
Rocket Dan should be on the radio
Their band is listed as Comedy because thats what most of their songs are.
This cover does it justice (I still prefer the original)
"Rocket Dan" I love it
Omg Rocket Dan. Amazing
kory hacker You stole my exact fucking sentence! Heh, I guess great minds think alike.
NSP, Guitar Bros. This message will probably be buried by all the other comments, but I just want you to know how much we appreciate the music (whether it be cover or original). Keep it up!
Re-discovered!
I live in Puerto Rico and after Hurricane Maria its been really hard and tiring ,but this song and the way danny is covering just made my day today.
Jonathan Estremera stay strong friend things will get better I promise :)
Hey bro, I'm about to go to the store, want me to pick up some paper towels for you?
good luck
Too soon bro too soon
Fuck yeah get me some freaking paper towel , thanks everybody else haha
How Danny doesn’t just going around singing, is wild to me.
I’d be ~♪Rocket Man♫~ing everywhere I went 😂
Can I get this on spoofy?
:) Someone had to say it. It's the rule of the universe.
Not yet
Checl the description
Danny. how are your ankles not broken?
THEM BOOTS ARE CRAZY.
AND FABULOUS.
you answered your own question, the fabulousness of the boots is so intense that it manifests into a physical strength that prevents his ankles from breaking.
If that answer is scientific, that means that dan is is a liar, he dose under stand the science.
yeah, like he needed to be taller. freaking Ent
Chances are someone brought him a chair and he took them off without taking a step. Doesn't he have bad feet?
I will never regret subscribing to this channel
You better not or the rest of the subscribers and me will strap you to a chair and make you regret your choices.
+AtlasKP this is the best reply ever.
I got to see this performed at the NSP 10th anniversary concert and it was an experience. Thank you Danny and Brian and to the Super Guitar Bros as well.
God damn it okay so like every single song that NSP has covered so far is a song that I grew up on, singing in the car with my father. Now that Dan's singing these songs that I grew up singing in the car with my dad its making me so emotional. Dan has been a huge inspiration for me - I found Grumps + NSP at a really low point in my life when I had suffered from very bad depression/OCD - just to see how far someone can go in their life. Even Brian's a big idol for me - I'm going into college soon as a science major, and I always thought that one couldn't dual handle STEM and liberal arts, but here's Bri dressing up like a ninja and playing the piano dramatically. My life has changed so much but the songs and the memories stay the same, and they're such happy memories that I have to associate with some band that sings about fucking in zero gravity. I cried listening to Take on Me, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and even Pour Some Sugar on Me because they have such a heavy emotional connection. When the next album comes out I'm ordering two copies (again) because not only do I love the sentiment, but Dan + Bri have been such major parts in my lives and I want them to continue to be.
I hope I can thank them in person some day.
foolishdeadbeat
I know the feeling and I'm super happy they could help you out! they did the same for me.
much love, brother/sister 💕
Nice shoes👌
WHAT ARE THOOOOOSE?!?!?
lmao they might be dolls kill xD
I dig Dan's beard.
EliteBeatDrummer I wish I was Dan's beard
EliteBeatDrummer Bob ross...
Jesus beard
Yeah it's pretty good
EliteBeatDrummer i mine it
Whoever mixed & mastered this deserves a special spot in heaven.
Brian's look at "It's just my JOB 5 days a week" 👌
Blake Maloof wow it really is perfect isn't it
If “Pour Some Sugar on Me” didn’t sell enough albums for ya, this one sure as hell will. I cannot wait for this masterpiece to come out.
Taking a fake dump at work so I can listen to this.
DWG Isaiah I pretended I have files to put away to watch this. Thank goodness for rooms with limited access
Same
DWG Isaiah lol nicce
DWG Isaiah same
No boss, my shits just sound like danny sexbang.
I heard the first word and I gasped and covered my mouth with my hands. Dan, your voice is so fucking beautiful. I have never been able to be swayed by a voice alone before. You're the only one. I never cry from songs or movies, but you're going to bring me to tears. Please never stop what you love, because we love you and everything you do.
