    I really thought that was a Michael Jackson song until I started listening to the lyrics, and then I thought "this has to be a parody or spoof of one of his songs" but even then, it doesn't seem to be the case. It's just a completely original joke song that sounds exactly like Michael's work and that alone is impressive enough. The whole process of meticulously sculpting everything and putting it all together is so amazing, I can't even wrap my head around how long that must all take to do, on top of the additional editing and filming for everything else surrounding making the video. I'm blown away by all of it, keep up the great work.

      @@BeetleSystems If I may, I disagree with your disagreement. "Shitpost" in no way excludes something from high art. The Divine Comedy was written partially as a fuck-you to Dante's political rivals and professional enemies. Several figures in the paintings on the Sistine Chapel were people that Michaelangelo disliked and thus put them into Hell. Georges Perec wrote a whole novel without the letter E just as a flex, and Joyce wrote Ulysses both to show off his education and to flummox readers and critics. One may both shitpost and achieve high art.

    @21:25 has now become the absolute best posthumously released MJ song. Lyrics are GOLDEN:
    strong as blood, we were brothers then
    and I had your back til I broke that pact
    sitting by myself, ain't want nothin, man
    but I did you wrong now I can't move on
    everthing was cool until she sat on the bed
    telling me she lonely and in need of a friend
    just forget my brother we'll go on over here
    and before I know it I was flat on my back
    30 seconds that was that
    and now i live my life in constant fear
    *CHORUS 2X*
    Dickie don't poke my sister, no way (i dont need you)
    he's talking like "you did me so bad, boy"
    Dickie don't poke my sister, not today (i just miss you)
    he's talking like "she wants me so bad, boy"
    Dickie don't poke my sister
    *HORN BREAK*
    Dont forget to not poke her now
    Dont forget to not poke her now
    Dont poke her now
    You dont poke my sister!

    I spent six years at film school, so, as you can imagine, the question "What is art?" was brought up regularly. I came to loathe those discussions as I found them repetitive and meaningless. But today, years later, I can say with no doubt in my mind - this Bobby Fingers video is art.

    • @davidmanchester8978
      @davidmanchester8978 19 днів тому

      I gotta say, art is pissing people off and expanding their brains. Making people uncomfortable and moving them to joy, sadness, fear. Making people better by making them question their views and their subjective take on reality. Or just making some pretty stuff for money. That's cool too.

You decide to give it a watch and you're treated to the most Lynchian-McDonaugh-Joycian beat poet reading, mixed with a fine dose of Herzog documentary, culminating in a epically produced music video.

    Then you stare into the wet metal,
    This soup of light that screamed from the guts of a star
    As it shed its skin eons ago.
    And yet, in the life of our universe
    Only a few grains of sand have fallen into the glass below.
    Our mother is an infant;
    Still, we take the purest of things from inside her
    And leave her with such burdens
    Because we break the things we love,
    And monsters sharpen their claws in the void where youth is confused with beauty.
