@@sweatymilk8590. that is exactly what I was thinking old songs, catchy tunes, and nice mucic, mixed with a great rap song is a very great combo especially when it's all mixed with Dans voice.
4 years later and this still easily one of my favourite dan bull songs I've heard in a long time. The composition is just absolutely amazing, the bassline, the drums, the guitar, especially in the first verse paired with Dan's skills just makes an incredible sounding song. AND THE BRIDGE man this song is laced with Joy and there's no other way to put it.
@@annyeonggomenasai5564 Haha, thank you!! That was the first time I did well on a Math exam since elementary school, maybe I should listen to this song more often 😂
It took me way too long to realize what unsettled me more than dan’s general look. He doesn’t blink throughout the entire video. He’s always just staring at you and it helps to build the overly oppressive feeling of the video and I Love It
'A bit of rough and tumble is the healthiest sedative / at least it is now 'cause I said it is' is such a great lyric. The manic delivery in that whole section too.
I love how Dan perfectly captures the message of the game in his song. Do you be happy in your ignorance or dare to take a peek and see whats really happening.
Yeah it's a real dilemma and even though it doesn't originate from the game the question is really interesting and the answer is not as obvious as a lot of people would think.
I mean, it's a little bit lower on the view count because it's not a super high profile game, but I keep coming back to this one. It's a stylistic and lyrical tour de force, and I have mad respect for you Dan Bull
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Oan you believe this is happening? - I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That's me! - Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. - Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of... ...9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick ourjob today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what it'll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! - That girl was hot. - She's my cousin! - She is? - Yes, we're all cousins. - Right. You're right. - At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - You're gonna be a stirrer? - No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! I'm so proud. - We're starting work today! - Today's the day. Oome on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal... - Is it still available? - Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours! Oongratulations! Step to the side. - What'd you get? - Picking crud out. Stellar! Wow! Oouple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! Make your choice. - You want to go first? - No, you go. Oh, my. What's available? Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. - Any chance of getting the Krelman? - Sure, you're on. I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey's always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should... Barry? Barry! All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine... What happened to you? Where are you? - I'm going out. - Out? Out where? - Out there. - Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. - Look at that. - Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you? Sign here, here. Just initial that. - Thank you. - OK. You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! - That's awful. - And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow! Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind, check. - Antennae, check. - Nectar pack, check. - Wings, check. - Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let's move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! I'm out! I can't believe I'm out! So blue. I feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader. We have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. S
You know i really love the chorus with “we only want you to be happy” which has a double meaning the normal one which would be a literal translation of we want happiness for you. And the darker tone from the game being you have to be happy or else.
the effort and thought you put into your songs you release on such a frequent basis is nothing short of astounding, you should be so proud of everything you've achieved, Dan.
Really enjoyed it. Took the time writing and spacing the lyrics down to help some semblance of a sing-along by myself. In case someone else has similar aspirations, it goes as such below: [CHORUS01] We only want you to be~ happy. We only want you to be~ happy! And if you, refuse, We won't be held accountable for what, We do to you~ Take your joy! Well, well, welcome; To Wellington Wells! A tranquil town nestled gently in the fens and the fells. Folk flocked from afar, they were fairly compelled, By a desire to repel negative memories' spells; But nothing ever happen, did it? So let me dispel, the tittle tattle, It'll baffle, leave you empty a shell! Clearly unwell, but we've the medicine to better your health! There's nothing quite like a rest to replenish the cells! In the home of debonair gentlemen and delicate belles, Women are feminine, svelte, donning an elegant blouse, While the men are in trousers of sumerian felts, Under double breasted blazers with the trendy lapels. But if you break the legislation, you'll be readily dealt, There's nothing quite like arrest to replenish the cells! So don't expect to be held in a respectable house, Without respecting the house rules, in which we excel; So any petulant whelk-I detect collecting intel- Upon this excellent realm-will get his rectum impaled- As a correction, expelled-and in the distance the yells- Will be dismissed as a mouse-squeaking by everyone else! NAH! [CHORUS01] We only want you to be~ happy. We only want you to be~ happy! And if you, refuse, We won't be held accountable for what, We do to you~ Take your joy! -Oy! Take your place with the wellies and the wastrels! Lace your crepes with a bellyful of brain fuel; Brain fooled! Hey! You could barely call it tasteful! - Buddy!-But-he-bloody-better-be grateful; And take another plateful, straight from the table! Today we're serving up betrayal by the ladle! What do you need to pray for? You're already faithful! All your mistakes have been already paid for! Any deviation from the state will be painful, That's just not cricket - BASEBALL! Make sure if you see a welly acting at all strange, Call us so we can lay laws~! Never mind if I barely can sing. Blame that on the very bad, THING. Moving swiftly forward-AWESOME! To the portion, talking to law enforcement! THIS IS JIMMY, BRITISH BOBBY, HITTING CIVVIES, IS HIS HOBBY. But you've got nothing to fear, If you adhere to the rules that are utterly clear: . Dress to impress . Be nice and polite . Take your joy . Stay inside in the night And the bobby on the beat won't have to beat YOU! Save that for the Happy Few! [CHORUS02] We only want you to be~ happy. We only want you to be~ happy! And if you, refuse, We won't be held accountable for what, We do to you~ Take your joy! Take your joy~! Enjoy your joy~! Taake your joy~! It's the safest choi~ce! An attack of anxiety, as I hang by a T - H - R - E - A - D to sobriety, Why oh why, are we pushed to the margin, by high society, Shoved in the garden, shuffling past muttering crap, As we fight to survive on nothing but scraps! Look and understand, I'm an upstanding chap Nothing underhand, I just want something back! From the upper class, that have got the upper hand on the downers, It's upside down, front to back! But on the upside, Downers are up to get down and they're down to get up Take-a-ticket-to-town, dig-it?-Digging-around To-get-in-and-out quicker than I will have when I've figure it out! Wow! Eureka! We reek of fap, pee, poo; Phew! But at least we're the Happy Few! There's no better place to live in, No better living, Than the land where happiness is a given! Why trouble your mind with decisions? Free will is the benignest of prisons! Take joy, see the light through the prism, Close your eyes and vibe to the rhythm. Listen, that is the sound of serenity; Arisen, sapping downers of energy. Give them, a smack around for their benefit; A bit of rough and tumble is the healthiest sedative! Or at least it is now 'cuz I said it is, And any doubt is a mouthful of heresis. Don't like drugs and you're doubtful of therapy? There's very little help for you now, so the remedy For downers inherently renowned to be menaces, Is a swift kick in the head, oh yes it is! [CHORUS02] We only want you to be~ happy. We only want you to be~ happy! And if you, refuse, We won't be held accountable for what, We do to you~ Take your joy! Take your joy~! Enjoy your joy~! Taake your joy~! It's the safest choi~ce! Cheers mates!
Like not ending whole video with phrase "now I am sorry, but it looks like we have come to end of our time", which uncle jack always were saying at the end of his broadcast ( I hope that I didn't do to much mistakes, I am not good at english
Gotta say, I was about as impressed by all of Dan’s costume and environment changes as I was by his rap skills and style alterations. Like, seriously, Dan, how much extra effort did you have to put into getting all those shots together? I think even the non-moving newscaster has his little background props switch over from sparkles to flowers and back again at some point. Leave it to you to go one step beyond, lol.
@@thanosgaming625 In the first half-mask part, he says 'If you see a welly acting at all strange call us so we can lay laws.' Then later he also lists off the rules. Also the two half-masks could be different people.
Haravata Johann I assumed the “lay laws” part was referring to Wastrels beating up Wellies, and I thought when he listed the rules he was making fun of Uncle Jack. I’m probably looking to far into it.
This has to be one of the best songs I've heard by you. The genre shifts worked really well Dan! The visuals have to be some of the best I've seen. Amazing job dude!
this song kept getting better as the verses got more intense. At first I was like, aw it's not as good as some others. then at the end I was very impressed. nice job DB!
Best homonym rhyme ever. I thought he was saying this twice until I really looked at the lyrics. "There's nothing like a rest to replenish the cells." And then "There's nothing like arrest to replenish the cells." As in police cells. Genius!!!
This is such an amazing song! You did such a good job at really grasping that Character and the face paint! I don't know where you got all these costumes, but I want you to know that this is the best We Happy Few Rap I've seen since the Games come out! Keep it up! You're doing incredible!
"why trouble your mind with decisions, free will is the benignest of decisions" "nothing like a rest to replenish the cells, nothing like arrest to replenish the cells" How smart is this guy
The lines are so brilliant and amizingly combined with your recorded scenes and the in game scenes, just genius and hilarious as well; I‘m laughing so hard at your expressions, no matter how often I‘ve watched it

IMPORTANT QUESTION: I've been working on a song and music video for We Happy Few for months, and am close to finishing it. However, the who song is done like the Broadcasts in the game, VERY much like this one. While it's not a rap song, but more of a creepy, jazzy, propaganda song, I'm VERY afraid that I'd look like I'm stealing his idea. And I can't simply change it, since the song is written lyrically like an Uncle Jack broadcast. What do you guys think? Would it look like I'd be stealing his idea, or is the direction for the game so obvious, that it's perfectly understandable why I did it the way it looks?
I've heard this game's been going through a situation similar to Yandere Simulator and Hello Neighbor. Not nearly as dramatic as the former, but going down the same path of overly long debug builds and being too hyped too early leading to an underwhelming product. If anyone here has played the game please do tell what you think
Yeah, I binge played it this weekend, it does have a lot of bugs and crashes occasionally, but in all honesty, I love the storyline that's cleverly leaked throughout, the graphics and art style is amazing, and it's a big game with a lot of open space to explore (and is more like 3 games in one, getting to play 3 acts and 3 different characters which I love). And for such a small developer, they've done wayyy more than I could have imagined and I'm sure they'll patch the bugs soon, so if it's something you're looking into but not crazy for, you can always leave it a while until it's patched and lower in price and try it then-but I do recommend it! (:
Not exactly. The plotline is amazing, but it's bad NPC's and repetitive gameplay mixed with some bugs makes it worse. However it isn't like the games you mentioned because it wasn't overhyped, the game is really good, but a bit repetitive. The glitches aren't really noticable until later in the story, and the gameplay isn't that bad. I give it a 8/10. I recommend the game.
This video has such an early Arctic Monkey's vibe to it, showcasing local Britain. I love that despite Dan's fame, he still nails that Russell T Davies blue-collar feel in his projects. Love ya Dan, I've gotta see you at another Con.
Thank you Dan Bull! I love this rap and even though this comment is a little too late I want to tell you that this rap inspired me to write a book around a similar premises.
Dan Bull that face paint really made it look like a second face on top of your original don’t know if you did it your self but it was really well done!
Another song to add to my Spotify playlist. How do you make songs so absurdly quick. The speed in which you make you videos has always been baffling to me. Keep up the great work, and keep producing great songs:)
Im been literally forcing myself to smile to feel that strange good feeling and its made me forciblly happy. Its kinda like using joy rather then wallowing in sadness. Do something long enough it works as you get better at it. Update: the joy has killed everything but I'm happily eating what I think to be chocolate flavored sand.
@@cosmic_leif More like you are gaslighted. Please wake up and get a clue how the world works. If you are partaking in violent riots you will encounter teargas if you choose not to dispers. You make that choice. You can also choose to get shot, that is up to you by your own actions. If you are attacking a federal courthouse you might get arrested by federal officers. Unmarked police cars are a thing. There is nothing strange about it. Of you want to avoid it, don’t attack a federal courthouse.

Hey dan
Did you take your Joy today?
Dan Bull only Few??
Dan Bull utterly brilliant song your the best
It still wanted to release in 2001
Well that was dope. I'm starting to think you've got the perfect voice for mixing rap with vintage music.
None Like Joshua gotta agree, I mean just go back to the you are special fallout 4 rap! I gotta say that was my favourite but this takes its place.
@@sweatymilk8590.
that is exactly what I was thinking old songs, catchy tunes,
and nice mucic, mixed with a great rap song is a very great combo
especially when it's all mixed with Dans voice.
Could not agree more.
josh, you should live stream you playing it.. hell I'd watch
This song makes me feel on drugs
1:31 IT'S STUPENDIUM!!!
I never realized that before! OMG!
holy crap he’s on the tv
It’s even from his We Happy Few song.
I would love to see the outtakes of Dan walking around the city dressed like a maniac
Agreed!
I would love to see that too
PLEASE DAN.

Harry you don’t have a 5 second break for another month, now get back to work and finish meet the cores 3!
Long time no see Harry!
You are alive. Yeeesssss
BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE WHITE VANS
4 years later and this still easily one of my favourite dan bull songs I've heard in a long time. The composition is just absolutely amazing, the bassline, the drums, the guitar, especially in the first verse paired with Dan's skills just makes an incredible sounding song. AND THE BRIDGE man this song is laced with Joy and there's no other way to put it.
"This is Jimmy, brittish bobby. Hitting civies is his hobby." That's the only thing that went through my mind at a math exam. I got A btw
Congrats on the A xD
Why are we both the same, not the A though
Welp, time to remind you of that math exam a year ago, I guess. Hahahah. Congrats and God bless!
@@annyeonggomenasai5564 Haha, thank you!! That was the first time I did well on a Math exam since elementary school, maybe I should listen to this song more often 😂
Lol
There's nothing like *a rest* to replenish the cells
There's nothing like *arrest* to replenish the cells
You are brilliant.
That’s amazing
Go watch his raps on the crew games if you like that.
I made a similar comment when this first came out and no one appreciated it :( lol glad someone else caught that. Dan is the master!
@Psychointraining thought that was self explanatory lol but nice catch!!!!

3:21 Holy shit, what an ear-gasm. Such a good beat and a beautiful flow
Matthew Becerra lol
Matthew Becerra my favorite part so far
Matthew Becerra Thanks for the Video Mark...I'll replay this for a few times
@@Bunzieee same
FINALLY someone who talks about that part!
It took me way too long to realize what unsettled me more than dan’s general look. He doesn’t blink throughout the entire video. He’s always just staring at you and it helps to build the overly oppressive feeling of the video and I Love It
HE BLINKS AT 2:31 OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST CAUGHT THAT
The lights are on but no one is home is how I describe his look, it's really unsettling and sells how Joy affects you.
Dan Bull. The only man to rhyme "fap, pee, poo" with "happy few" 😭😂 genius
I wish I could post GIF's here, hey Nem!
Fap pee poo the circle of life
NemRaps👌🏼
i like your raps
"We reek of fap, pee, poo, phew,
But at least we're the happy few
Dan bulls music makes me happy and makes a lot of people happy. It makes one wonder what he puts in his raps
I only want you to be happy
take your joy
Butterfly wings, I'd wager.
SwordTune
The smell of baked cookies, I’d bet
A drug called effort
'A bit of rough and tumble is the healthiest sedative / at least it is now 'cause I said it is' is such a great lyric. The manic delivery in that whole section too.
I love how Dan perfectly captures the message of the game in his song. Do you be happy in your ignorance or dare to take a peek and see whats really happening.
Yeah it's a real dilemma and even though it doesn't originate from the game the question is really interesting and the answer is not as obvious as a lot of people would think.
Too true
*"Nothing quite like arrest to replenish the cells."*
The sheer genius of that wordplay caused my brain to stall for about 5 seconds. ♡♡♡
Honestly what impresses me the most about Dan isn't that his songs sound so good (they are) it's that his word play is simply on another level.
@Zachary Sterling
I have seen both of those and enjoyed them thoroughly. ♡♡♡
But thank you for the recommendation nonetheless. :)
This was DOPE dude!
1:57 this line cured my depression quicker than Joy ever could
I mean, it's a little bit lower on the view count because it's not a super high profile game, but I keep coming back to this one. It's a stylistic and lyrical tour de force, and I have mad respect for you Dan Bull
You could always depend on Dan Bull for the best gaming raps
LOLLOLL
I only want you to be happy
this is the first time a massive youtuber like you replied big fan
According to all known laws
of aviation,
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
Ooming!
Hang on a second.
Hello?
- Barry?
- Adam?
- Oan you believe this is happening?
- I can't. I'll pick you up.
Looking sharp.
Use the stairs. Your father
paid good money for those.
Sorry. I'm excited.
Here's the graduate.
We're very proud of you, son.
A perfect report card, all B's.
Very proud.
Ma! I got a thing going here.
- You got lint on your fuzz.
- Ow! That's me!
- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
- Bye!
Barry, I told you,
stop flying in the house!
- Hey, Adam.
- Hey, Barry.
- Is that fuzz gel?
- A little. Special day, graduation.
Never thought I'd make it.
Three days grade school,
three days high school.
Those were awkward.
Three days college. I'm glad I took
a day and hitchhiked around the hive.
You did come back different.
- Hi, Barry.
- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
- Hear about Frankie?
- Yeah.
- You going to the funeral?
- No, I'm not going.
Everybody knows,
sting someone, you die.
Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.
I guess he could have
just gotten out of the way.
I love this incorporating
an amusement park into our day.
That's why we don't need vacations.
Boy, quite a bit of pomp...
under the circumstances.
- Well, Adam, today we are men.
- We are!
- Bee-men.
- Amen!
Hallelujah!
Students, faculty, distinguished bees,
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.
Welcome, New Hive Oity
graduating class of...
...9:15.
That concludes our ceremonies.
And begins your career
at Honex Industries!
Will we pick ourjob today?
I heard it's just orientation.
Heads up! Here we go.
Keep your hands and antennas
inside the tram at all times.
- Wonder what it'll be like?
- A little scary.
Welcome to Honex,
a division of Honesco
and a part of the Hexagon Group.
This is it!
Wow.
Wow.
We know that you, as a bee,
have worked your whole life
to get to the point where you
can work for your whole life.
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.
Our top-secret formula
is automatically color-corrected,
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured
into this soothing sweet syrup
with its distinctive
golden glow you know as...
Honey!
- That girl was hot.
- She's my cousin!
- She is?
- Yes, we're all cousins.
- Right. You're right.
- At Honex, we constantly strive
to improve every aspect
of bee existence.
These bees are stress-testing
a new helmet technology.
- What do you think he makes?
- Not enough.
Here we have our latest advancement,
the Krelman.
- What does that do?
- Oatches that little strand of honey
that hangs after you pour it.
Saves us millions.
Oan anyone work on the Krelman?
Of course. Most bee jobs are
small ones. But bees know
that every small job,
if it's done well, means a lot.
But choose carefully
because you'll stay in the job
you pick for the rest of your life.
The same job the rest of your life?
I didn't know that.
What's the difference?
You'll be happy to know that bees,
as a species, haven't had one day off
in 27 million years.
So you'll just work us to death?
We'll sure try.
Wow! That blew my mind!
"What's the difference?"
How can you say that?
One job forever?
That's an insane choice to have to make.
I'm relieved. Now we only have
to make one decision in life.
But, Adam, how could they
never have told us that?
Why would you question anything?
We're bees.
We're the most perfectly
functioning society on Earth.
You ever think maybe things
work a little too well here?
Like what? Give me one example.
I don't know. But you know
what I'm talking about.
Please clear the gate.
Royal Nectar Force on approach.
Wait a second. Oheck it out.
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
- Wow.
I've never seen them this close.
They know what it's like
outside the hive.
Yeah, but some don't come back.
- Hey, Jocks!
- Hi, Jocks!
You guys did great!
You're monsters!
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!
- I wonder where they were.
- I don't know.
Their day's not planned.
Outside the hive, flying who knows
where, doing who knows what.
You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen
Jock. You have to be bred for that.
Right.
Look. That's more pollen
than you and I will see in a lifetime.
It's just a status symbol.
Bees make too much of it.
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it
and the ladies see you wearing it.
Those ladies?
Aren't they our cousins too?
Distant. Distant.
Look at these two.
- Oouple of Hive Harrys.
- Let's have fun with them.
It must be dangerous
being a Pollen Jock.
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me
against a mushroom!
He had a paw on my throat,
and with the other, he was slapping me!
- Oh, my!
- I never thought I'd knock him out.
What were you doing during this?
Trying to alert the authorities.
I can autograph that.
A little gusty out there today,
wasn't it, comrades?
Yeah. Gusty.
We're hitting a sunflower patch
six miles from here tomorrow.
- Six miles, huh?
- Barry!
A puddle jump for us,
but maybe you're not up for it.
- Maybe I am.
- You are not!
We're going 0900 at J-Gate.
What do you think, buzzy-boy?
Are you bee enough?
I might be. It all depends
on what 0900 means.
Hey, Honex!
Dad, you surprised me.
You decide what you're interested in?
- Well, there's a lot of choices.
- But you only get one.
Do you ever get bored
doing the same job every day?
Son, let me tell you about stirring.
You grab that stick, and you just
move it around, and you stir it around.
You get yourself into a rhythm.
It's a beautiful thing.
You know, Dad,
the more I think about it,
maybe the honey field
just isn't right for me.
You were thinking of what,
making balloon animals?
That's a bad job
for a guy with a stinger.
Janet, your son's not sure
he wants to go into honey!
- Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
- I'm not trying to be funny.
You're not funny! You're going
into honey. Our son, the stirrer!
- You're gonna be a stirrer?
- No one's listening to me!
Wait till you see the sticks I have.
I could say anything right now.
I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!
Let's open some honey and celebrate!
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax.
Shave my antennae.
Shack up with a grasshopper. Get
a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!
I'm so proud.
- We're starting work today!
- Today's the day.
Oome on! All the good jobs
will be gone.
Yeah, right.
Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring,
stirrer, front desk, hair removal...
- Is it still available?
- Hang on. Two left!
One of them's yours! Oongratulations!
Step to the side.
- What'd you get?
- Picking crud out. Stellar!
Wow!
Oouple of newbies?
Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!
Make your choice.
- You want to go first?
- No, you go.
Oh, my. What's available?
Restroom attendant's open,
not for the reason you think.
- Any chance of getting the Krelman?
- Sure, you're on.
I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.
Wax monkey's always open.
The Krelman opened up again.
What happened?
A bee died. Makes an opening. See?
He's dead. Another dead one.
Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.
Dead from the neck up.
Dead from the neck down. That's life!
Oh, this is so hard!
Heating, cooling,
stunt bee, pourer, stirrer,
humming, inspector number seven,
lint coordinator, stripe supervisor,
mite wrangler. Barry, what
do you think I should... Barry?
Barry!
All right, we've got the sunflower patch
in quadrant nine...
What happened to you?
Where are you?
- I'm going out.
- Out? Out where?
- Out there.
- Oh, no!
I have to, before I go
to work for the rest of my life.
You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?
Another call coming in.
If anyone's feeling brave,
there's a Korean deli on 83rd
that gets their roses today.
Hey, guys.
- Look at that.
- Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?
Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.
It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.
Really? Feeling lucky, are you?
Sign here, here. Just initial that.
- Thank you.
- OK.
You got a rain advisory today,
and as you all know,
bees cannot fly in rain.
So be careful. As always,
watch your brooms,
hockey sticks, dogs,
birds, bears and bats.
Also, I got a couple of reports
of root beer being poured on us.
Murphy's in a home because of it,
babbling like a cicada!
- That's awful.
- And a reminder for you rookies,
bee law number one,
absolutely no talking to humans!
All right, launch positions!
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz,
buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
Black and yellow!
Hello!
You ready for this, hot shot?
Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.
Wind, check.
- Antennae, check.
- Nectar pack, check.
- Wings, check.
- Stinger, check.
Scared out of my shorts, check.
OK, ladies,
let's move it out!
Pound those petunias,
you striped stem-suckers!
All of you, drain those flowers!
Wow! I'm out!
I can't believe I'm out!
So blue.
I feel so fast and free!
Box kite!
Wow!
Flowers!
This is Blue Leader.
We have roses visual.
Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.
Roses!
30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.

Dan Bull oh I am I took my Joy today plus I'm British too
The verse starting at 3:20 is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.
This is so great ! Working on a piano cover right now ... reminds me of Juxtapozed With You by Super Furry Animals
I'd love to see that
quick work... why don't we work together properly - shoot me a tweet
Sounds great !
Piano version is up :ua-cam.com/video/HR2rfZdUn8g/v-deo.html
NPT Music you work fast! Checking this right now boss!
"Have you taken your Joy today?"
Yes, I am right now, listening to Dan Bull rapping :D
Keep up the great work
True that
Always get your daily joy from the one and only Dan Bull
*sniff sniff* have taken your joy today
@@jak7826
Uuuuuuuuhhhh. . .
Also stupendium, rustage, and JTmusic
Hmm.. the doctor senses you haven't taken your joy. GET HIM! * Runs towards tripleA *
*TAKE YOUR JOY!*
Lucy Price NO
Don’t tell me to take my anti-depressants ☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿
@@dacso2610 lol
Don't tell that to my anxiety
Snug as a bug on a drug 👌
3:21-4:00 is my favorite part. The flow is so good
1. The beat is awesome
2. I love the fake smiles, it gives me that “”I AM HAPPY TRUST ME”” vibe.
You know i really love the chorus with “we only want you to be happy” which has a double meaning the normal one which would be a literal translation of we want happiness for you. And the darker tone from the game being you have to be happy or else.
....
I actually love this the words are in my head and I can hear the music I'm trying to learn the words hahha
the effort and thought you put into your songs you release on such a frequent basis is nothing short of astounding, you should be so proud of everything you've achieved, Dan.
thank you!
Really enjoyed it. Took the time writing and spacing the lyrics down to help some semblance of a sing-along by myself.
In case someone else has similar aspirations, it goes as such below:
[CHORUS01]
We only want you to be~ happy.
We only want you to be~ happy!
And if you, refuse,
We won't be held accountable for what,
We do to you~
Take your joy!
Well, well, welcome; To Wellington Wells!
A tranquil town nestled gently in the fens and the fells.
Folk flocked from afar, they were fairly compelled,
By a desire to repel negative memories' spells;
But nothing ever happen, did it?
So let me dispel, the tittle tattle,
It'll baffle, leave you empty a shell!
Clearly unwell, but we've the medicine to better your health!
There's nothing quite like a rest to replenish the cells!
In the home of debonair gentlemen and delicate belles,
Women are feminine, svelte, donning an elegant blouse,
While the men are in trousers of sumerian felts,
Under double breasted blazers with the trendy lapels.
But if you break the legislation, you'll be readily dealt,
There's nothing quite like arrest to replenish the cells!
So don't expect to be held in a respectable house,
Without respecting the house rules, in which we excel;
So any petulant whelk-I detect collecting intel-
Upon this excellent realm-will get his rectum impaled-
As a correction, expelled-and in the distance the yells-
Will be dismissed as a mouse-squeaking by everyone else! NAH!
[CHORUS01]
We only want you to be~ happy.
We only want you to be~ happy!
And if you, refuse,
We won't be held accountable for what,
We do to you~
Take your joy!
-Oy! Take your place with the wellies and the wastrels!
Lace your crepes with a bellyful of brain fuel;
Brain fooled! Hey! You could barely call it tasteful!
- Buddy!-But-he-bloody-better-be grateful;
And take another plateful, straight from the table!
Today we're serving up betrayal by the ladle!
What do you need to pray for? You're already faithful!
All your mistakes have been already paid for!
Any deviation from the state will be painful,
That's just not cricket - BASEBALL!
Make sure if you see a welly acting at all strange,
Call us so we can lay laws~!
Never mind if I barely can sing.
Blame that on the very bad, THING.
Moving swiftly forward-AWESOME!
To the portion, talking to law enforcement!
THIS IS JIMMY,
BRITISH BOBBY,
HITTING CIVVIES,
IS HIS HOBBY.
But you've got nothing to fear,
If you adhere to the rules that are utterly clear:
. Dress to impress
. Be nice and polite
. Take your joy
. Stay inside in the night
And the bobby on the beat won't have to beat YOU!
Save that for the Happy Few!
[CHORUS02]
We only want you to be~ happy.
We only want you to be~ happy!
And if you, refuse,
We won't be held accountable for what,
We do to you~
Take your joy!
Take your joy~!
Enjoy your joy~!
Taake your joy~!
It's the safest choi~ce!
An attack of anxiety, as I hang by a
T - H - R - E - A - D to sobriety,
Why oh why, are we pushed to the margin, by high society,
Shoved in the garden, shuffling past muttering crap,
As we fight to survive on nothing but scraps!
Look and understand, I'm an upstanding chap
Nothing underhand, I just want something back!
From the upper class, that have got the upper hand on the downers,
It's upside down, front to back!
But on the upside,
Downers are up to get down and they're down to get up
Take-a-ticket-to-town, dig-it?-Digging-around
To-get-in-and-out quicker than I will have when I've figure it out!
Wow! Eureka! We reek of fap, pee, poo; Phew!
But at least we're the Happy Few!
There's no better place to live in,
No better living,
Than the land where happiness is a given!
Why trouble your mind with decisions?
Free will is the benignest of prisons!
Take joy, see the light through the prism,
Close your eyes and vibe to the rhythm.
Listen, that is the sound of serenity;
Arisen, sapping downers of energy.
Give them, a smack around for their benefit;
A bit of rough and tumble is the healthiest sedative!
Or at least it is now 'cuz I said it is,
And any doubt is a mouthful of heresis.
Don't like drugs and you're doubtful of therapy?
There's very little help for you now, so the remedy
For downers inherently renowned to be menaces,
Is a swift kick in the head, oh yes it is!
[CHORUS02]
We only want you to be~ happy.
We only want you to be~ happy!
And if you, refuse,
We won't be held accountable for what,
We do to you~
Take your joy!
Take your joy~!
Enjoy your joy~!
Taake your joy~!
It's the safest choi~ce!
Cheers mates!
Great work on this, mate.
1:44 "That's 'just not cricket.' Baseball!" That's an awesome and deep reference to a weapon in the game which is called "not just cricket."
the beggining of this sounded so much like gorillaz :D (I LOVE GORILLAZ)
Kind of yeah I also like gorillaz
Not the biggest fan of their recent album, I like living in the past and listening to their old stuff xD
I love Gorillaz
I love your rap dan can you do a horizon zero dawn one plz :3
*THE BATH*
end me
Another song that's so diverse from all of your others and love the video and references too! What can I say? I'm happy
We happy few million subscribers!
Though we all wish it was a few million more
me too
2:11 Its the Stupendium Singing It's a joy in the background!!
"We only want you to be happy and if you refuse we won't be held accountable for what we do to you"
Sounds like my family.
No more V bucks for you young man
The fact that you didn't name this song "We Rappy Few" is really a missed opportunity
Like not ending whole video with phrase "now I am sorry, but it looks like we have come to end of our time", which uncle jack always were saying at the end of his broadcast ( I hope that I didn't do to much mistakes, I am not good at english
Gotta say, I was about as impressed by all of Dan’s costume and environment changes as I was by his rap skills and style alterations.
Like, seriously, Dan, how much extra effort did you have to put into getting all those shots together? I think even the non-moving newscaster has his little background props switch over from sparkles to flowers and back again at some point.
Leave it to you to go one step beyond, lol.
I put a fair bit more time in than some other game themed vids I've made that's for sure
Quite honestly, your attention to cinematography certainly puts you leaps and bounds above any contemporary.
So:
Full Mask: Uncle Jack/Wellies
Half Mask: Downer/Wastrels
Right?
Seems like it, that's what i gathered at least
Half mask also seems to be a bobby.
Haravata Johann
It wouldn’t make sense for Half Mask to be Bobby if he was also a Downer. Which line nodded to him being a Bobby?
@@thanosgaming625 In the first half-mask part, he says 'If you see a welly acting at all strange call us so we can lay laws.' Then later he also lists off the rules. Also the two half-masks could be different people.
Haravata Johann
I assumed the “lay laws” part was referring to Wastrels beating up Wellies, and I thought when he listed the rules he was making fun of Uncle Jack. I’m probably looking to far into it.
I've had 'We only want you to be happy" stuck in my head for literally hours now and it's keeping me awake in the best way
me too and I'm the one who made it up
You made a rap more functional than the game.
Jamie Watts your not wrong
Lord Wojtek yeah get into the open world buggy but fun
"What a terribly charismatic duck"
Lord Wojtek In which case one might say you're one of the happy few.
it's gotten better since the last update a few days ago, as i noticed a huge performance improvement
3:21 - 4:00 hands down the best part of the song. Well done.
Great choreography, lines and imagery as usual Dan Bull!
I was getting used to the 4 syllable rhyme scheme, didn't expect that crazy switch up.
Is this what Joy tastes like?
Never have I ever clicked on a notification so quickly! I'm full of JOY!!
oooo nawty
It's the safest choice after all
Ninethie Music aaand thats life in comedy jail for that one
I love the double-meanings and juxtaposition here. “Nothing like a rest to replenish the cells.”
He sings so beautifully. His rapping is awesome as always
0:20 i thought i recognised this bit love its a joy
Fun fact: this came out the day before "it's a joy"
Fucking hell 3:20 to 4:00 is soooo good, keep up the great work Dan!

Anyone see that the song "it's a Joy" is playing on the TV behind Dan bull when he is in that room with the Baseball bat
Yeah I just realised that before checking the newest comments
This has to be one of the best songs I've heard by you. The genre shifts worked really well Dan! The visuals have to be some of the best I've seen. Amazing job dude!
You're writing style is one of the few styles of rap that I like, where it focuses more on the technical writing and skill. Great work!
this song kept getting better as the verses got more intense. At first I was like, aw it's not as good as some others. then at the end I was very impressed. nice job DB!
Best homonym rhyme ever. I thought he was saying this twice until I really looked at the lyrics. "There's nothing like a rest to replenish the cells." And then "There's nothing like arrest to replenish the cells." As in police cells. Genius!!!
I'm 100% sure Dan is the protagonist in We Happy Few he's gone mad !
It's a joy!
It's a joy!
It's a joy to hear these happy few!
Another masterpiece by this legend
This is such an amazing song! You did such a good job at really grasping that Character and the face paint! I don't know where you got all these costumes, but I want you to know that this is the best We Happy Few Rap I've seen since the Games come out! Keep it up! You're doing incredible!
"why trouble your mind with decisions, free will is the benignest of decisions"
"nothing like a rest to replenish the cells, nothing like arrest to replenish the cells"
How smart is this guy
The lines are so brilliant and amizingly combined with your recorded scenes and the in game scenes, just genius and hilarious as well; I‘m laughing so hard at your expressions, no matter how often I‘ve watched it
We only want you to be happy
We only want you to be happy

We won't be held accountable

4 months later and I am still blown away by just how clever and inventive this is. you are a true lyrical genius, Dan.
IMPORTANT QUESTION: I've been working on a song and music video for We Happy Few for months, and am close to finishing it. However, the who song is done like the Broadcasts in the game, VERY much like this one.
While it's not a rap song, but more of a creepy, jazzy, propaganda song, I'm VERY afraid that I'd look like I'm stealing his idea. And I can't simply change it, since the song is written lyrically like an Uncle Jack broadcast.
What do you guys think? Would it look like I'd be stealing his idea, or is the direction for the game so obvious, that it's perfectly understandable why I did it the way it looks?
Nah, go for it!
Go ahead
Dan Bull never disappoints, from the start to the finish every song he makes is amazing
cheers
I've heard this game's been going through a situation similar to Yandere Simulator and Hello Neighbor. Not nearly as dramatic as the former, but going down the same path of overly long debug builds and being too hyped too early leading to an underwhelming product. If anyone here has played the game please do tell what you think
Yeah, I binge played it this weekend, it does have a lot of bugs and crashes occasionally, but in all honesty, I love the storyline that's cleverly leaked throughout, the graphics and art style is amazing, and it's a big game with a lot of open space to explore (and is more like 3 games in one, getting to play 3 acts and 3 different characters which I love). And for such a small developer, they've done wayyy more than I could have imagined and I'm sure they'll patch the bugs soon, so if it's something you're looking into but not crazy for, you can always leave it a while until it's patched and lower in price and try it then-but I do recommend it! (:
Vexx Exists Thanks, I don't have a steam account but if I ever get one I'll probably give this a try.
No worries, it's available on console too (: I believe it's £45 across each platform (:
@@VexxExists I'm in America so I'm not sure how much it costs here but I'll check it out
Not exactly. The plotline is amazing, but it's bad NPC's and repetitive gameplay mixed with some bugs makes it worse. However it isn't like the games you mentioned because it wasn't overhyped, the game is really good, but a bit repetitive. The glitches aren't really noticable until later in the story, and the gameplay isn't that bad. I give it a 8/10. I recommend the game.
>1M views? Disgusting! This is one of my favorite videos of yours...the music and rhyming is fantastic.
This video has such an early Arctic Monkey's vibe to it, showcasing local Britain. I love that despite Dan's fame, he still nails that Russell T Davies blue-collar feel in his projects. Love ya Dan, I've gotta see you at another Con.
eating cereal watching new new Dan Bull Love you man
Ayyyy! I can see Stupendium on that TV behind that wastrel!
Can't wait for that video to come out
Lucky for you, it's already out
Thank you Dan Bull! I love this rap and even though this comment is a little too late I want to tell you that this rap inspired me to write a book around a similar premises.
Dan is horrifying.
....thanks?
Dan Bull that face paint really made it look like a second face on top of your original don’t know if you did it your self but it was really well done!
SHH ITS OK IM A NORM I think he might've watched IhasCupquake's guide for the face paint.
Laying on that couch towards the end makes him look like the dude from Adam Ruins Everything
3:21 flows so beautifully and holy shit the lyrics as well
I love that half of the song is about taking joy and the other one is all about downing
Honestly, just spectacular work. Every song you do is better than the last, keep up the amazing work!
This is peak lyricism, especially the first verse.
Another song to add to my Spotify playlist. How do you make songs so absurdly quick. The speed in which you make you videos has always been baffling to me. Keep up the great work, and keep producing great songs:)
i really love this song it feels like a "real song" idk what else to call it
Stupendiums vid of we happy few rap in the background on the tv at 3:00 :D nice touch!
Im been literally forcing myself to smile to feel that strange good feeling and its made me forciblly happy. Its kinda like using joy rather then wallowing in sadness.
Do something long enough it works as you get better at it.
Update: the joy has killed everything but I'm happily eating what I think to be chocolate flavored sand.
I came to your channel because of the stupendium and now I am a regular fan of yours too!!!
YES! I got here before 1000 views :D 4 minutes after posting. I feel special!
Incredible work. Love how drastically the song changes as you shift perspective.
This game and song is way too underrated
I just realized you were in ERB battles. You did Winston Churchill and Jack the Ripper! Nice to see you dude
Dan, I can't seem to find your latest lyrics on Genius. Any ideas on where I can read them? These were excellently written.
I don't upload them so I guess people have to submit them manually themselves before they appear
this is the sond of serenity with a smile that makes me feel evrything but serenity

Help
Took me a moment to realize at 2:10 Stupendiums we Happy Few Song was playing in the background
"This is Jimmy, British bobby. Hitting civies is his hobby."
That aged like a fine wine
Why?
@@jonasthemovie because like police brutality is becoming a more known issue now
Mr Bublee You have any good example?
@@jonasthemovie In America the police are kidnapping innocents in unmarked cars. That and they are gassing people.
@@cosmic_leif More like you are gaslighted. Please wake up and get a clue how the world works. If you are partaking in violent riots you will encounter teargas if you choose not to dispers. You make that choice. You can also choose to get shot, that is up to you by your own actions. If you are attacking a federal courthouse you might get arrested by federal officers. Unmarked police cars are a thing. There is nothing strange about it. Of you want to avoid it, don’t attack a federal courthouse.
That was brilliant! I wish I knew more about rap so I could fully appreciate all the different rhythms and techniques Dan uses.
Amazing song
Are going put on iTunes
My Joy is Dan Bull's music :)
All your other songs are cool and all, but I genuinely enJOY this one. ;)
Seriously though.
Dan always catches the mood of a game perfectly in his songs
