I always wondered whether Benny flubbing the last note in the "Take Me On" part was a joke, when they've done it other times - but he did it really well this time!!!

It's breathless. They're just awesome. The rythm fits so nice with the songs, and their voice is so great that I can barely describe it. Hadn't heard of them until now, but I guess I'm kinda their fan now. Haha.
" and we are the axix of awesome" "And I'm Benny!" haha he sounds awesome. How they did this was so clever! I am so going to learn this, it will be awesome as! :D
they do that all the time- it's their trademark intro! altogether, including their album, and other performances, they have come up with over 54 songs! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
Well they didnt write it :p They just took an existing song and changed lyrics. Doesnt really qualify as "writing a song" in my book, no matter how good/bad it is :)
IMHO the best version is the UK Comic Relief 2011 performance: they performed to a shattered charity audience on their UK debut(?) at about one a.m. almost unnoticed, even by the people present, but it was honed so well it was like a Penn and Teller magic act.
Wow, Talk about talent. Tx. for posting. Great harmony and excellent example for musicians of the similarities and creativity using just a few chords!! G.
We had to listen to this at the music college i go to cause we were talkign about chord progressions and how you only need 4 chords to write a song. They are a awesome comedy band that was soo clever loove it!!
I love the fact that the longer they play this song, the longer this actual song will become.
if they wanted to they could have played the whole thing and stretched it to like 2 hours
This never gets old
Say no more it’s 2024 and it’s still awesome
I always wondered whether Benny flubbing the last note in the "Take Me On" part was a joke, when they've done it other times - but he did it really well this time!!!
Yea, I think he’d been working on that top note cos he wanted to nail it!
my mum had a 20 year childrens television career playing guitar and she only knew those 4 chords!!!
Was she on Humphrey B Bear?
love how they start telling him it's just 2 songs that fit, and he just looks right at them and sings the next over the top of them like "LOLNOPE"

Isn't Bird plane actually Five For Fighting 'Superman'?
No, 'Superman' runs into Birdplane.
Amazing! Thank You.
Still watching in 2024!!
Hello!
@@ralphanthonycapon4033 hahaha yes brudda
is it just me who think it's ironic that this is their biggest hit?
Because it is a 4 chord song.
Insert plapatine ironic meme
touchpad dont think so hard on it
A very good point 😂 I never thought about it that way
It’s not just you
It's breathless. They're just awesome. The rythm fits so nice with the songs, and their voice is so great that I can barely describe it.
Hadn't heard of them until now, but I guess I'm kinda their fan now. Haha.
" and we are the axix of awesome"
"And I'm Benny!" haha he sounds awesome.
How they did this was so clever! I am so going to learn this, it will be awesome as! :D
Absolutely brilliant every time I watch this
So so good. I listen to this every few months or so and it's fantastic every time.
So... the inclusion of Birdplane would indicate that you guys did write a 4 Chords song... Heh
Part of the joke.
Must be fun at parties
I still think this version is the best.
i was blown away when i first saw this on tv love it they live up to there name of being awesome :P
they do that all the time- it's their trademark intro! altogether, including their album, and other performances, they have come up with over 54 songs! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
Jordan love your Comedy don't know why people would be unhappy with you being you, IT'S NOT PASTAS IT'S POTATOES !! XXX

Wirklich Niemand thanks 😀
Wow. These guys are amazing!
*The internet: **_where the unedited original upload gets 1.6m views by 2023, but the reupload that cuts a bunch of it has 84m views._*

"If the guy from Nirvana hadn't shot himself"

the song with the kazoo anybody knows?
+jefferson brito mgmt - kids
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI
This is fantastic! Go Axis of Awesome!
Absolutely brillaint and creative!
I am just wondering.. If they never wrote a 4chords song, how come their song is in the mix xD? Birdplane... ^^
It's a parody of the "Five for Fighting" song "Superman"
I know, but it's still a four chords parody ^^
Well they didnt write it :p
They just took an existing song and changed lyrics.
Doesnt really qualify as "writing a song" in my book, no matter how good/bad it is :)
Jordan says that they have been a comedy rock band for close to 40 YEARS, that doesn't sound right either
Truetrue.
C G A F on the piano I think....I THINK
D Major, A Major, B minor, and G Major.
Then halfway through the progression changes to Bm, G, D, A.
Sterling Matthew Oliver That would make it 8 chords. This is 4 chords.
Jamie Vandenberg it's the same four chords, hon. Just a different progression.
Sterling Matthew Oliver Show me how those 8 chords are the same.
Look at the names.
Awesome!!! Love The AX O4C!!!!!! Yeeeeeaaah. Great ide, nice played, and very funny!!!! More of that please.
LOL No matter how many times I watch this, it's still freak'n AWESOME xD

IMHO the best version is the UK Comic Relief 2011 performance: they performed to a shattered charity audience on their UK debut(?) at about one a.m. almost unnoticed, even by the people present, but it was honed so well it was like a Penn and Teller magic act.
