Lyrics:
You're the best at telling stories to help me fall asleep
You do all the silly voices, conversate in make-believe
And I am wide awake I might've drank a bit too much caffeine
Can you tell a bedtime story to help me fall asleep?
Okay so two bickering bears are bumbling through the woods
When they stumble upon a tent
And they can tell there are two humans inside because
It has a "two human inside" scent
Now these bears are cold and hungry
As food prices have jumped across the hibernation
But they have a philosophical difference on
How to approach this tent’s situation
Big Bear says: "Let's ambush them, come crashing
Through their flimsy little roof"
(Big Bear Hungry. Big Bear Beefy. Big Bear See Food and Want Food)
Small Bear says "Why do you tackle every problem like a grizzly brute?"
(Small Bear Angry. Small Bear Tired. Small Bear 'bout to disapprove)
Because while yes, I see the merits of attacking by surprise
We'd get a meal but I can't bear to crush their valuable supplies
Imagine waking up each day and catching the sunrise
From this tent after we eat the chumps inside
But Big Bear isn't buying it, ‘cause they don't
Have the dexterity to unzip the zipper
And if they wait for the humans to come outside
They might be armed, alarmed, and ready to shoot them quicker
Than the bears can react, and then they'll go from
Two rugged bears looking for a good home in the woods
To looking like two bear rugs on the wood floor of a home goods
Small Bear says "I hear you but insist The benefits outweigh the risk"
(Small Bear still respects that Big Bear gets a say in all of this)
Big Bear thinks about it, then a wicked grin erupts across his lips
(Big Bear's grateful for a partner that communicates like this)
He says “I think there's a solution that will satisfy your needs
A compromise that will surprise these hairless little beasts
And if we do this right we'll leave the tent looking pristine
We’ll get our bed and breakfast... bearbnb”
So Big Bear says "The local gopher owes me a favor
From every day when I don't EAT HIM
So he can either reach in or dig his little feet in
To dig up underneath them and sneak in
And he can unzip the screen then we can both creep in
While they are deep asleep
Ah, come on let's gopher it, I'm sick and tired of schemin'!
So they overcame their bickering with simple compromise
And the bears began their buffet with some gopher on the side
And they lived happily ever after in their tent, sat side by side...
Then you kissed me on the head and said goodnight
Yeah, then you kissed me on the head and said goodnight
You were the best at telling stories to help me fall asleep
You did all the silly voices, made me honestly believe
and now I'm wide awake, mistaking every breaking branch and leaf
The next time we go camping I'll just stick to counting sheep
BUG! THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR INVITING ME TO ANIMATE ANOTHER *AMAZING* SONG OF YOURS.
I have not stopped thinking about these two bears for the last few months. Thank you for what you have given us all.
Dream team strikes again
Thank you for giving our beautiful bears corporeal form!
Great work on the animation!
I discovered Bug Hunter through DeepBlueInk, and I’ve been thoroughly delighted by you both ever since.
I am thrilled this was the one you got commissioned to animate. Thank you for bringing such a great song to life the way only you can.
“They’d go from two rugged bears looking for a good home in the woods to looking like two bear rugs on the wood floor of a Home Goods” is an *incredible* bit of wordplay.
I know, there's just so many layers to it!
Not to let it overshadow "these two bears are cold and hungry cus food prices have jumped across the hibernation"
No matter how many times I listen to this song, the 'I'm leaving it in!' after BearBNB still makes me smile the goofiest smile.
Right? I always wonder if that was organic sound from the recording booth bc it’s never listed in the lyrics! Either way it’s adorable!
Same this entire song is amazing
Its like Neighbor guy makes me giggle every time
Bwahaha! I was so immersed in the bear argument that I forgot it was a story someone was telling to someone else. That end was fantastic!!
You’re not alone! Most people forget it’s a frame story around “bearbnb” 😂
the end of the animation doesn't say well for their camping trip or the implications of their story being a quick skip for the bears in thinking
Seeing this performed live is now a high-priority item on my bucket list.
It’s an absolute blast live. Did it on the UK tour and had so much fun
Can confirm it’s even more of a banger live, especially when there’s a bear costume involved.
I would 100% recommend if you get the chance!! it somehow was even better live than I ever dreamed!
With real bears?
@@alxandrjw it's really good live
that moment when ursa is the bear and the irony that the energy drink ursa and the fear of bears keep him awake
My favorite visual gag HAS to go to 3:02 ‘cause it’s so funny seeing the escalation of effort from “flashlight spooky story” to “cardboard cutouts” to “Whole body puppetry” and finally “Fully animated video”. Great bit.
Also love her expression of “Ey yo check THIS shit out”
The way he was able to animate small bear running is /chef kiss/
Love this!!! The bear models are so cute, love the cutaways to different characters and flipping to the lined paper to show the brainstorming - it all really punctuates the storytelling and perfectly pairs with the song (and I want a small bear plushie NOW). Amazing job DBI and Bug!!
jams!!!! why is your profile picture different
@@sterrenmaid it is not
@@ThunderJams jams!!!!! it is a silly goober with a spanner? maybe on discord
I know someone who makes small bear plushies if they don't get stolen 😌
it took me two plays to notice the shape of the tent. great song and great video.
SAME
This fills me with so much serotonin! This was one of my favourite songs from the album, especially because it reminds me of my best friend/roomie who likes to read aloud to me at night. (It’s a family tradition of theirs that they eventually sold me on because we’re basically family now.) It always gives me such a cozy safe feeling and this captures it perfectly! Also it makes me so happy to see the enby character from Platonic Best Friend got together with their partner and came back for this one!
I like the relationship dynamic between big bear and small bear:
two psycho murderers with no qualms with murder and coercion but also best friends that care for each and make sure the other is happy.
Basically every depiction of bears in media when they have a friend
Ooh, we get to see DBI's practice at "story on animated paper" skills!! And what a story--I genuinely forgot it was a bedtime story while listening, the wordplay was so good 😊 Thanks y'all for sharing this with us!
I love the switch at 2:54 to “You *WERE* the best at telling stories” from “you ARE the best at telling stories” at the beginning lol
My favorite music has always been the one's that tell stories. This one takes it meta. Loved it, thank you.
Love the partner holding up the animation screen
Out of all your songs that could be animated (that have yet to be so), I think this was the best choice. The detailed and whimsical story is aided by the visuals. I also love the simpler little doodles that bring a childish aspect to it all.
This was one of my favorite songs from the album, I am so happy it is getting an animated music video😭🔥
The “monster” cans being “ursa” (bear) is a neat touch.
Absolutely devastated that this doesn't have more views. Such a catchy song, and DeepBlueInk did a great job on animation!
Were getting there! Doing numbers on tiktok atm 😅
Been really enjoying this song on Spotify lately love to see a DBI animation for it! With my favorite couple from the Platonic Best Friend video, a cute bug shaped tent, and adorable bear designs!
Smol bear is adorable 🥺
The song is amazing and the animation matches that. Both Bug and DeepBlueInk are such incredibly talented people and I love it when they come together! This song is one of my favorites from the new album and seeing animated is just so cool. I especially loved the scene where it cuts to the studio after the bear BNB joke bc that is exactly how I picture it going in my head every time I listen and it has yet to make me laugh when I listen to it
I love all the songs on the new album but this was the one I was most hoping would get a video next! It's everything I could have hoped for
Small bear running made my day
I am immediately sending this to everyone I went to see the tour with, I love it! Good job DeepBlueInk!
DeepBlueInk beat me to it AGAIN!!!! I seriously can't wait for this one
About 2 years ago I was obsessed with your song called be glad I love you
Thank you! That’s still on every setlist!
You have put so many subtle jokes and laughs it is amazing. One of my favourite is at the very beginning the sing starts with "Your the best at telling stories" and at 2:52 it becomes "You we're the best at telling stories". Love your content.
When this came across my suggested songs on Spotify I simply HAD to bop that "repeat:1" button. It's sooo adorable, the wordplay is TOP NOTCH (i have a feeling there were dozens more puns/clever bits but the artist chose to exercise some restraint here - less is more?)
The part that gets me every time, and I mean a laugh-out-loud EVERY time, is the audacity to insert a "BOOO"/audience disapproval IN YOUR OWN SONG. It's just... I can't get over it!
Glad to have found your music; also I enjoy Dear McCracken - a very bittersweet number.
Why is no one talking about the "food prices have jumped across the hiberNATION" and the "cmon lets gopher it" jokes?
I found your music recently and it just brings such a smile to my face, especially this song. I need to try and memorize it to tell my scouts before bed time!
fucking hell I found this song a few months ago on youtube music, and seeing the video for it is amazing, love this song
this is totally one of my favourite songs from the new album. and the video is so good, love all your stuff bug!
0:33 I never get tired of seeing the caterpillar logo in different ways
This is just amazing I never knew I would be so into this kind of music I always love a story even if it's in a music video.
The end of the song really got me! Wow. You remind me that there's still good in the world. Thank you. And thanks to DBI for a great job animating!
I liked Bear BnB! You made the right call.
Interrupted my kids screentime to force the whole family to watch this, no regerts
This was a great video. I still see it as a father and son camping thing though.
I just realized that the couple in this music video are the same characters from the Platonic Best Friend music video and I think that’s really cute
one of my favs from you!
I found your music recently and it’s all amazing your songs have been making me feel really happy during a hard time in my life also man how do you heart every comment the dedication to your fan base is crazy
I always thought this was between a kid and his dad or something. Didn't think of a couple
AMAZING!!! BEAUTIFUL!! SIMPLY WONDERFUL!!! incredibly song and incredible animation. i love how artistic and beautiful the sun and the tent get when it zooms in on the bears faces. i love the bears little bounces in time with the music. simply an AMAZING music video !!!!!!
HOLY COW TYHIS IS SUCH A GOOD BEDTIME STORY! *in quiet voice* "Smallbear 'bout to disapprove"
But real talk, though - this IS what trying to sleep while camping can be like.
I die every time big bear looks like he really doesn’t want to say bearbnb
I needed this for so long thank you
Lol this song is 2 months old
2 months is long enough
I only found this song yesterday and already I love it. Amazing song and amazing animations. Love your work, both of you!
Perfect timing!
Bug hunter makes the most wholesome sad silly little guy music and I love this song
I love how the bears listen to each other and their plights. They are both right for each other and will live happy long bear lives :). (Unless yknow, one gets shot)
I can't help but chuckle at the last tense. "You were the best at telling stories" implying they are the ones being eaten. Lol a snake eating its own tail kind of story.
the twist that they were camping all along is perfect XD
Man, Bug and Ink just work perfectly together every single time!
Got recomended 2 Bed, 2 Bath (and a Ghost) and I'm glad I clicked on your channel! Your songs are really awesome!
DBI you truly did the song justice!! this is my favourite Bug song and you exceeded my expectations!! this is so good
OH MY GOD I WAS WATCHING A STREAM AND HE PERFOMED THIS SND LOOKED AT MY COMMENT I WAS LITERALLLY SHAKING KH MY GOD
WAIT IS THIS THE STARTING COUPLE FROM BEST FRIEND???
The bears are animated exactly how I sing along to this, it’s so perfect
Pulling up fresh off 2 bed 2 bath (and a ghost) and Jesus Christ they don’t miss huh 😤
I’m obsessed with this songgg ❤
As usual, criminally underwatched, but whatever, we're over here vibing
Gunna start calling the bear habitat at zoos "BearBNBs"
2:11 this part got me! Love ur music dude keep it up!
That bear looks high
Two of my current favorite artists! Good work both of you.
In love with DBI's bears they're so darn cute...
And always love Bug's clever lyricism. This may be my favorite song of yours. At least top three, it's so hard to choose!
Always appreciate your inclusive lyrics, (and DBI's inclusive drawings) whether they're incidental or intentional, it's such a little thing that means so much.
Wooo I'm excited. This was such a fun little song and I can't wait to watch the video
Just realized the tent is bug hunters logo
beautiful. brings a tear to my eye
Bear b&b 😌
The 2 bear rugs on the wood floor of a home goods is such a fun tongue twister
My current musical hyperfixation is your music
Thank you!!
bars in the verse about the gopher were crazy. dudes penwork is insane
I only just found your music recently, and i'm absolutely in love with it. You manage to capture such an ernestness, not shying away from either the goofy or the melancholy. It can be hard to find that balance and you make it seem easy.
Love the music and thanks for sharing it
Thank you for saying so!!
3:00 "Yawnestly Believe", I almost missed that pun. Thats a good one.
He left it in! I love this song, and the silly little twist where they’re camping. This is a very cool song and I love listening to your music. Keep it comin!
Fabulous as ever folks! LOVE it!
Just realized the caffeine drinks are called ursa, like Ursa Major and Minor, the big and little bear constellations!!! Clever idea, DBI!!
Hey Bug Hunter, big fan here! Love the fact you continued the storyline from the Platonic Best Friend MV.
Keep making great music 🔥🔥
Not me watching this for the 15th time and only now realizing the tent is in the shape of the bug hunter logo
This song is so catchy- and I love this animation style, I just wanna give the bears pets 😔
Wow wow wow I loved this so much, you and DBI are an iconic team 🔥
I've watched this three times in the last 24 hours, amazing work Bug!!!
Amazing as always!! Excited for a Fanfiction video 👀
I'm sending this to my brother so that he can show it to his kids 😂
Every time I think of bug hunter I always think of the Deep blue ink animated songs
Love you Bug!
Aww, this music video is so cutee! I love it sm!
Now I wish my History group project could work together this well… I’m envious of bears.
Another high quality bug hunter twists 🐻
BearBNB lol😂😂
We all need a break sometimes. Hope you're doing well broski
This is so amazing! Needs more views!
This is definitely the best animated yet. Loved it bug!
OH MY GOD ANOTHER MUSIC VIDEO

(pre premiere)YES I was worried I wouldn't be able to watch this but it premieres on a weekend! Thank you bugg
absolute awesome song and animation and i also realized the tent is the little bug
I can't believe they added the bear bnb
