Blue Oyster Cult - Apple Bottom Jeans (1976)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- I've taken a slight detour from 90's rock and ventured back to 1976 to bring you an early, unreleased version of Blue Oyster Cult's classic hit from when they were trying to break into the dance music scene. ;-)
Growing up, hearing BOC's "(Don't Fear) the Reaper" always made me feel a sort of yester-yearning for an era of rock music that I wasn't even alive for. It's a bit of a departure from the Tool and Alice In Chains versions of Apple Bottom Jeans that I most recently uploaded, but I really wanted to pay homage to great rock music that influenced me from various decades, and give it equal treatment under the universal laws of shitposting and meme-ification. :-P

I can't even call these shitposts, there's no shit part

@@floof_hair3857 Thank you for coining this
Goldpost.
"You know what, fuck this." *un-shits your post*
Played this in the car and gave me father a heart attack. Good stuff.
lmaooooooo
😂
Did he fear the reaper?
@@Despair505 he feared the bouncer
Uh, man.. I think you need to check whether your dad is okay or not.
You know when this song came out critics really jumped on the negative connotations of not fearing the bouncer but they really needed to listen closer it isn't a song about doing uncool things in the club it's about the celebration of booties and the shawties that get low with them.
This Rob-bot gets it.
So it's about ass
@@bradley698 Always
Will you be returning some tapes later today?
Is that a raincoat?
This feels like an alternative universe where you can write a song however you want, with whatever style, tone or musical notes, but it has to be a version of apple bottom jeans
The apple bottom jeans connected universe 😤😤😤😤
@@JayLikesDogs universe!
The whole club was laughing with her
My own personal hell has existed longer than I knew
@Nick West I think you're missing the point of the meme. 🤣
Also, what you're describing is a cover band, which I stopped doing about 20 years ago... 😅
But seriously, if you'd like to hear what years of work sounds like, I'd invite you to listen through the albums on my page, or check out my audio tech design work on Halo Infinite. Or actually, go watch the visual album playlist on my page for PRIME: Metroid Reimagined, which I just released a couple weeks ago. Our team on that visual album was 8 people and the total project took 5 years. Deeply imaginative, creative art takes a lot more time and energy than most people think in an era of content oversaturation. 😉
I spend the majority of my time making serious, high pressure art. So sometimes it's nice to just do a goofy meme song that only takes a week or two rather than several years. And even then, it's much more work than one might think to creatively overlay the concepts and lyrics from one song in a completely different style as another, and then accurately emulate the vocals and production style of the original, and produce a video that looks aesthetically identical to the style of design, typefaces, layout, and production of that era... the fact that it looks and sounds unoriginal is actually the hard part. 🙃
@Nick West No worries! I just wanted to elaborate a bit on what goes into making these since it's not always apparent on the surface. Especially since they're just goofy meme videos. 😂
The UA-cam algo also really likes this one so it keeps pushing it to folks who have never heard of the meme, so it's sometimes helpful to have additional context. 👌
Be well my dude!
"Shawty, don't fear the bouncer"
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I have never laughed so hard until now. I’m so done lmfao
TIL the lyrics to this song
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW*
He doesn't care about your baggy sweats or your apple bottoms...
Flo Rida missed an opportunity by not having any cowbell in his version
I like a good cowbell in there
I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell!
"needs more cowbell"
@@HellJustFroze Proceeds to more cowbell
These apple bottom jeans memes are the best thing that happened in this year
Right? Really brings the talent out of the wood work
The effort!! It's an amazing trend
Apple bottom memes
Lmao YEESSS I literally just discovered it and I'm so happy
I cant agree more
"I"ve got a prescription and I'm gonna need some more Reeboks with the straps".
I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription****
@@EricLS Needed another Eric to remind me that I shouldn't be lazy and use Google lol
So that’s three of my favourite songs that have been “shawtied”. Keep em coming.
What are the three?
@@HoppyDoopy This one and two others
@@belgeroth9668 bro was asking what were the other two songs that were shawtied
@@Bomboy792 and other bro was joking
@@belgeroth9668 ngl, i chuckled
This could hardly be better put together even if it was a genuine song and not a parody. Big BOC head here, and you’ve absolutely NAILED the production and tone of their sound. I hope you work as a sound engineer or mixer or something because you’re extremely good at it.
It would sound great with burning for you
It really is amazing
This is by far the best rendition of the Apple Bottom Jeans meme so far
This is up there but don't think anything will ever top Pavarotti
It's nearly as good as Pavarotti's one
Pavarotti still gets me but this is tied for first
Michael Jackson one is pretty up there
Red Hot Chili pepper version was high quality & doesn't change the lyrics, it's my fave so far
OKAY BUT WHY DOES THIS SOUND SO GOOD LIKE THATS IS PERFECTLY REPLICATED BOC.
In before this turns out to be Buck's shitposting account.
This is so unspeakably cursed, I can't even
Can we send this to Buck Dharma and the other Cultists?
Eric will be so pissed off
@@elpoormc1001 Eric won't give a fuck, he's got a pretty good sense of humour
Gonna play this for my dad and gaslight him into thinking it’s always been this way
Report back and let us know how it goes. 😅
Lol
Status?
Alr Finn the human it’s been a year how did it go
Finally, a SGL parody that actually matches the original song’s cadence, meter, and theme. No joke, this is really f$&@ing good!
The way he says redefine booty pants scratches that one part of my brain, so satisfying
Mission accomplished!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I think we've now peaked musically as a society.
I was expecting this to sound terrible but its very refined and high quality
it's because Blue Oyster Cult is fucking perfection
@@jademoonchild or it's because the dude that made this is great at what he does
@Zion Henare
Eh, probably both
I can't decide if "Redefine booty pants" is blessed or cursed.
blursed.
I don't know why I didn't expect the "Low, Low, Low, Low, Low" chorus, but it absolutely got me off-guard. So perfect!
I audibly said "god fucking damnit" with the biggest grin. Had I thought, I might have anticipated, but it's so much better when it catches you off guard.
This has no business sounding THIS AMAZING
This might sound like a stretch but carry on my apple bottom jeans by Kansas
This shit slaps way harder than it has any right to. Fucking love it.
The vocals are spot on, sounds like they came back and did this themselves 10/10
Thank you!!! 😊
This is good and all, but... I GOTTA HAVE MORE COWBELL!
By far my favorite one
Legendary producer Bruce Dickinson would be proud!
Needs more sweatpants
Robert, I hear your concern and totally agree. I think the main difficulty in fitting on even more sweatpants is that Shawty is already wearing a pair of jeans, boots with fur, Reeboks, *and* a pair of baggy sweatpants (presumably over top of the jeans, which I assume are tight-fitting). So I think she's maxed out the amount of clothing she can reasonably wear while hitting the floor and getting so low. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@JoshuaDuChene I trust the memes. Only time will tell. Time, and shawty
"Time, and shawty." 😂😂😂
Speaking of Bruce Dickinson
Iron Maiden version when?
These aren’t even shitposts anymore. They’re masterpieces.
This still tops the list for the best Apple Bottom Jeans parodies
Thank you! :D
rivaled by the Elvis Presley ane Beach Boys ones
The worst/best part is that this meme has truly evolved into genuine art.
I just found this a couple days ago and have listened to it an unhealthy amount of times. This is stupid good.
Sameeee
This sounds so authentic you can pass it off as the alternative take
There are so many of these memes, but this is the first one I've found where the creator put in enough genuine effort to really make it work as a song.
"I've got a fever and the only prescription is more apple-bottom Jeans."
"Y'all be wearing gold-plated apple-bottom jeans."
The worst part about this is I didn't even realize anything was off with the first line. This is too well done
The way they say “shawty hit the floor” is just so polite
Yo, I think I've watched almost every one of those, and honestly, yours are the best. Thanks for the great memes!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you like the ones I'm making. I really appreciate the positive feedback! :-D
So... I'm an old lady and I thought memes were only images with text, not music?
The best part of this meme is that it keeps introducing me to great songs I otherwise never would have known.
I can’t imagine life without this song, glad apple bottom jeans gave you this beautiful gift
One fateful day, these started popping up on my feed. I've been hooked ever since. That algorithm is pretty spot on, kinda scary...
This has no business being as good as it is.
honestly my apple bottom jeans are just nowhere near as good, but i would definitely be down to collab if you ever wanted to!
Yours are good too, man! And honestly, I spend wayyyyy too much time making these than I should be... :-P
@@JoshuaDuChene yeah it be like that
THIS IS SO WELL DONE. If there was an awards system for Apple Bottom Jeans, this one would definitely earn one.
I got a fever. And the only prescription is more Apple Bottom Jeans.
That psychedlic and dark touch the song takes is phemonenal. It is truly a masterpiece
you should totally do this with Creed's With Arms Wide Open
I hate that this goes so well 💀 I love the song and always want to have my favorites apart from the memes but this, this one is allowed.
🙏😊💖
This legit just evolved the meme imo. This is stupid good
As someone who loves BOC, and REALLY loves this song... I expected this to be very bad. I'm honestly and truely surprised how well this went considering
I love that the vocals are mixed like the original song
I think Fear the Reaper and Burnin for You are the only songs in their entire discography that sound like this. I wanna hear Apple Bottom Jeans in the tune of Gozdilla or Dominance and Submission. Now those would be *hot*
The quality here is insanely fantastic. Great work! I loved this vid
Thank you for the kind words! 😊
Literally the best version of this meme to ever exist, without a doubt. There is no way ANYTHING is gonna top this
Ha! Best one yet.What's next? Maybe "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" by Primus? "Apple of Sodom" by Marilyn Manson? The suspense is killing me!
As someone who enjoys both of these songs, this is a fucking godsend
How did you manage to make the instrumental sound BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL?!?
Modern production.
@@sandenson I like the pace this version goes at better than the original as well
@@Zvyezdavodna What do you mean? It's the same tempo. Infact, I'd imagine they just took the raw stems, removed the vocals and recorded the new vocals on top.
@@rowanmelton7643 Idk where you are listening your songs from, but the youtube and spotify versions of this song are very noticeably different
cowbell.
Apple Bottom Jean's is probably the most bizarre and surreal track in the entire Imaginos story. Pure genius, I tell you. .
Another high quality ABJpost, I like how you got creative with the lyrics so they would fit better
Thanks!!! I'm glad you liked the way I played with the lyrics. I'll keep leaning into that on future versions. 😁
I saw this, stopped, sighed and audibly said oh no, and clicked. And I'm so glad I did.
This is the free music compromise. It’s not a good rap song, it’s not a good rock song. It’s perfectly balanced
Boots spinning across the screen were a nice touch.
How do you expect me to go about my day normally after hearing this masterpiece?!
Hearing this version of the song first got me to check out the original "(don't fear) The Reaper" and I will say that both of these are incredible
Incredible job on this one.
Not sure if I'm meant to be laughing at the hilarity of this or be in awe of the amount of seamless effort this was put into this masterpiece
2021 and I'm fucking dying over this
I love how you came back after two years of silence to meme and it's just stellar
just like i remember it
My favorite part: I like that I can sing along to a song I've never heard before
This is absolutely amazing. I think it even exceeds the Beach Boys cover of it.
The OG is my morning alarm. Gonna test-drive this bad boy lmao
You'll wake up in a club
Why does this actually go together,it really shouldn't work,but I'm impressed that it does
I've having a really really really really really shitty day, but I knew...
As I doomscrolled past this and slowly, with glacial pace, moving with the absolute unrelenting and uncaring inevitability of the sun itself, revealed more and more of this experience, I could just tell I was going to be in for a purely magical time.
From the moment I saw the album cover art to well after the music and lyrics wove together I just had a big smile on my face, and I want to thank you for bringing it to me.
Hell yeah! Thanks for the poetic reply - super happy this brought a smile to your face! Hope you're feeling at least a bit better. :-)
I can’t even express How many lols you’ve given me.
Lol lol lol lol Lol
I damn near cried because this is so good. I wish I could hear this for the first time again.
we need a full version w/ the instrumental bridge in the middle and everything, this is too good haha
This is what the internet was intended for. Keep up this noble work
I work at the local cinema, and Halloween Ends has Don't Fear The Reaper in the credits. I hear this fucking meme in my head every damn time it plays and I am going insane lol
LOL... 🤣
Your voice fits their style SO WELL?? It sounds so good literally, you could cover any of their songs and make it work so well
Thank you for the kind words!!! 😊
I've listened to this multiple times
I don’t have a joke I just genuinely find this amazing
my guy even got the reverb in the voice! perfect!
this is so good, i don't even need more cowbell
these two songs were absolutely made for each other istg
This has been one of my favourite songs since I first heard it about fifteen years ago and you have done an INCREDIBLE job with this parody
You made this work very well and it slaps and that upsets me.
A masterpiece
Jokes aside, this is incredible! It sounds just like that particular band came in the studio and recorded this!
Dude, this has to be the best version I've ever heard!
Oh no I watched like 10 of these but this one made me cry all over 😭😂
If only there was cowbell, but regardless, this is freaking god tier. Great stuff!
How tf am I just finding this content? I can’t stop smiling when I play this in the car
Out of All the apple bottom jean memes this ones the best
normally with these apple bottom jeans cover memes you can tell it's like a different singer or the cover has something wrong with it. i can't do that with this one. it sounds damn near EXACTLY like BOC. amazing job!
This is probably one of the more transformative versions I've heard, HELL yeah
Omg the Apple bottom jeans and boots flying across the screen sent me 🤣🤣🤣
Haha... glad you enjoyed those little touches! :-D
guys, memes have to be shitty or else they're not funny. this is ART
Every time I click on these videos I make sure I'm not eating anything for fear of choking (again)
Wow, this is a new level of when a meme becomes an artful masterpiece. Great rendition.
This video has crashed my UA-cam app 3 times now😂
*IT’S TOO POWERFUL*
C'mon, UA-cam app! Quit letting Go Dawgs down! They've got meme songs to enjoy! 😂
This is the greatest and best song in the world. And it's also a tribute!
Lol great work. My day has already peaked with this masterpiece.
