my dad was born in 1971 so he would have been my age exactly which is 14 and my dad was reckless and his childhood was so entertaining from what he tells me so i relate to this song very well
this song is my dad’s favourite, he got into bo because of me sending him this song. he would’ve been 10 in 1985 so i always switch the lyrics up to 1995, when he was 20 and nerding out in pharmacy school. he told me many stories about his time as a college student, he really was going against our pretty religious family and studied science. i have to admit, he really is the coolest mf in my life and i love him so much, he got me into all the nerdy geeky shows and comics that now i am so engulfed in. i am moving out of town for uni, and whenever i listen to this song i remember him, and i cry, i am so excited to start my life as an adult but i already miss him so much. love you dad:)
"He walks into a room and everyone respects him, he reads the news and doesn't let that shit affect him, he's very happy, he's thrilled to be alive". Bo's a damn genius.
my dad was the same age i am right now, back in 1985(19 turning 20) and he always told me many stories of his awesome cool adventures as a young adult in the 80’s who lived life to the fullest despite of being disabled (mans was even a DJ in the early 90’s!) i’m turning 20 in 2024, healing from the loss of my dad and i have no social life💀 but i only hope to be as happy and lively as he was back in the 80’s/early 90’s💙🙌🏼…
Thank you for doing this now I can listen to it over and over again without annoying my sister 🤷♀️(maybe) YAEYYYYYYY😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
I honest to god want to know how Bo’s father reacted to this. Like imagine your proud of your song because he’s a great musician and then he makes a whole ass and song that is dedicated to you because your his father. I would be so happy and honored.
I used to only like the part where he sings "If I could be anybody, dead or alive. I would want to be my dad in 1985." But now I love the entire song and I can't stop listening to it Someone help me
That lyric actually says “ I think I just meant my dad in 1985” Like saying the only person it applies to was his dad. Trust me, I made that mistake too
He's a really cool guy He's got a cool shirt He's got cool shoes Did I mention the shirt? If you ever got the chance to meet him You'd know why I want to be him He walks into a room And everyone respects him (everyone respects him) He reads the news And doesn't let that shit affect him (let that shit affect him) He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive His name is any white guy in 1985 White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) He's got a job and a family How does he do it?

this song has the potential of being a Jack Stauber song, I just love how he goes ninety eighty fi iIIIVe. I don’t know much about Bo Burnham but I do know that man can make a catchy song
I don't care how embarrassing this is I'm going to play this for my friend at her conformation when it says everyone respects him I'm going to bow for her
I swear if I hear this song one more time…. Cause like the lyrics is great but like my dad was literally born in 1984 and I can’t hold this anymore like-🙃💀
@@VIBE_WITH_NATT no no i was just joking but im not serious about my dad's age i was just trying to play with you not be rude im sorry you took it the wrong way

I so randomly found this. Can't stop listening to it

Me too! You should go check out some other Bo Burnham songs, they’re all so good.
Why?!?! Actually me too😂😂😂
This song is insidious, I wake up with this in my head.
I couldn't relate more
But did he mention the shirt though
No I don't think he did

Same goes with me actually my father was in uni back in 1985 and he had alot of adventurous stories.
damn he sounds like he was a cool guy, i hope hes in a better place now fr 🙏
hello is anybody in 2024 people
Hello, me!
Me too😊
ok
is there more people i wait
Ya
This is too underrated that it brought me to TEARS (and bc it was so beautiful) 😩✨
“I want to be my dad” this is actually the sweetest line in the whole song
My dad's name is Scott, and he's from 1984- so every time I play this song and it says "Scott Burnham 1985 (Scott)" Everyone points to my dad 😂
Bro I heard this in a UA-cam short and then searched it up and now I cant stop listening to it.
✨👍🏻
The amount of sarcasm this song holds gives me life
It must be so hard being a white guy in 1985 💀
my friends dad is like a dad to me. he basically raised me and this is fr him
my dad was 11 in 1985 and he was someone who listened to his mother, but also was the rowdy in the family
1985?
My dad was 29 years old
My dad wasn't even born 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You and your family are crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could listen to this song all day and I would never get bored of it
Honestly my favorite part of the song is in the background at 1:52 where it just says papa 😂
It sounds to me like kid gohan from dragon ball😂 (the dubbed one)
My kid loves this song and my name is Scott so it hits kinda hard. Also I'm a Royals fan so 1985 will always hold a special place in my heart.
coincidence?
@@noohaizen3907 Ikr he must be special
Forgot to add “And he likes to go get milk from the store” 😂 I love this song

Not the 1985 I was looking for but I found gold
I love this song I listen to this all the time
My dad was 22-23 in '85. He was a bartender and sold Ice cream to kids when they went with their parents to the bar.
I listen and fall asleep to this every night, No cap
Bayılıyorum bu şarkıya
My brain in the middle of the night for no reason at all:

Когда начинается этот момент 1:43 , в этот же момент мой папа заходит в комнату.

Song is actually fire bro
❤You're crazy This song is my favorite song ❤
i showed this song to my dad, his name is scott even though he was 3 in 1985.
He's a really cool guy
He's got a cool shirt
He's got cool shoes
Did I mention the shirt?
If you ever got the chance to meet him
You'd know why I want to be him
He walks into a room
And everyone respects him (everyone respects him)
He reads the news
And doesn't let that shit affect him (let that shit affect him)
He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive
His name is any white guy in 1985
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
He's got a job and a family
How does he do it?
Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking
He's got all the answers that I wanna know
How can I be what I am, but 40 years ago, gee-whiz?
He got it, and he flaunts
I am the thing he is
But he isn't when I walk
I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive
And some people are white guys in 1985
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
Wait
It wasn't easy being any white guy in 1985
Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis
Some white guys were Italian
And I'm not saying it's hard being a white guy now
I've misspoke
I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive
I think I just meant my dad in 1985
My dad, 1985 (my dad)
My father, 1985 (papa)
My dad, 1985
Scott Burnham, 1985 (Scott)
I wanna be my dad (Scott)
I wanna be my dad in the '80s (Scott)
My oblivious white dad in the mid-80s (Scott)
My dad was an oblivious white guy (general contractor)
My father was happier than I am
If I could be anybody dead or alive
I would wanna be my dad in 1985
