Such an original comment and idea, no one has ever thought anything like this. You deserve every last like, as well as my next 18 paychecks and my moms crotch
Firstly, an anger making me want to smash the busses radio in. Then, assuming I manage to not do that, an urge to sing very loudly, every good song I know the lyrics too. Assuming I do not carry this through, I resign myself to blocking my ears subtly as possible, and feel sick, in the stomach, and weird as it is, the face. Like i'm gonna puke. Haven't yet though. Have I got that lethal good music taste disease?
It’s because it’s a completely accurate parody. Whereas his MC Vagina persona intentionally sounds robotic and looks lame, this apes the lighting, style, dance choreography, sound, lighting and etc...
Yeah I'm quite sure many people who don't understand English would actually unironically buy his album if they heard this _on the radio_ for long enough 😅
Gotta love how he got all the stereotypes down perfectly. I mean from left to right you got The Punk, The Guy with a Child-Like Nature, The Cool Leader, The Wannabe Rebel, and The Passionate, Androgynous Bi Guy. Perfectly executed.
Jon Lajoie is a genius. But what I probably love the most is what an amazing actor he is. I think that it can be seen really good in this video. You have 5 characters that have their unique way of talking and especially moving, and even in the choreography you can tell that every character is dancing in his unique way and stays in his role, even though the choreography is synchron. His acting talent is so incredible and impressive and it is a pleasure to watch and laugh
I used to be an 11-years-old girl from Central Europe who was totally in love with Jon's comedy. The highlight of my week were the FCE preparation classes where I met my crush. We never dared to ask each other out but we always came 30 minutes before lectures so we could sit together in the corner, and watch Jon Lajoie's videos. We also talked on Facebook, and discussed possible translations of his work, haha. I'm happy that I have been brought back here after so many years.
***** I guess it depends on your definition of boy band. If your using this parody as a template The Beatles were in NO WAY a boy band. No prancing around, just basically good music, unlike boy bands. So no , you're wrong.
Dave Rhodes Beatlemania is comparable to the kind of reaction teenage girls have nowadays and recently for One Direction, Take That, Westlife, Nsync and other boybands. The Beatles went on to become a lot more than any boyband of course and are a legendary music act which no boyband will ever be. But like boybands, the Beatles early songs were very breezy, poppy songs so there are some similarities between them and boybands.
Its all very dependent on the circumstances provided by your own definition of "boy band" I can see how in some ways the beatles could be discussed as one, but in my opinion I think I am being a little more specific on my definition
Now he makes serious music. He goes by the name "Wolfie's Just Fine" but I sure do miss him just fucking around and making fun of everything around him.
The production quality of this masterpiece is just insane for a YT comedy song! Not to mention the spot on lyrics! :) This just ages like an old wine...
I like how all of John's songs come across so stupid yet they're all pretty well written and truthful. I know platinum records don't go out to UA-cam artists but what about a platinum subscription?
I listened to this song for 5 years without realizing all 5 of them are Jon until one day my wife said "wow this must have taken a lot of time"... Even now, looking at them, it's hard to tell they are all the same guy lol.
No. He described a decade long tragedy... that unfortunately has continued to this day. When Agent Smith called 1999 "the peak of your civilization" in The Matrix he was eerily spot on.
Let's just take a moment to appreciate that Jon did five times the work that a normal boy band would have done with this song. Scratch that- he did way more than five times the work.
love how he just embodies everything thats wrong with it into this song and proves that even though hes giving away the secret blatantly the song is so damn catchy lmao hes not wrong and the song proves it
This aged like fine wine.
IKR OMFG BTS THO
they do this UNIRONICALLY
Reporting again three years on that yes, we're still in it.
“To get a small percentage of the urban music market”🔥
The year is 2020. This song is still better than much of what they play on the radio.
Yes, it is

An accurate synopsis of the entire music industry wrapped into one song. Brilliant.
From Elvis to today pretty much
Not the entire, but a good 80-90%
Still as relevant today as it was 6 years ago.
yup
The difference is back then this was funny.
Now, it's terrifying.
TheTwinkelminkelson terrifyingly true
no, it was terrifying then too.
Hi mate, can you give me some chocolate with bananas?
This is so true it hurts.
It hurts even more because this was 5 years ago, and is still perfectly applicable to the music industry today.
TheAustinsMusic because music industry gets worse and worse every year

10 years later and nothing has changed in pop music industry
Except it's manly Korea that is doing the stuff now
If anything is going to change be sure it`s gonna be way worse than it was before
And now it’s called KPOP hahahahha
Rich men making money off their investments, ooh it’s so sexual, baybehh
2:16
2022 motherfucker that's just how it be.
I think this is Jon's best project. It might not be the funniest one, but it's the best made satire he came up with.
Vilkku 👍 absolutely
have u even see the best video ever made?
It’s because it’s a completely accurate parody. Whereas his MC Vagina persona intentionally sounds robotic and looks lame, this apes the lighting, style, dance choreography, sound, lighting and etc...
can´t decide between this and "please use this song" which is also absolutely brilliant
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive maybe that's why we like it so much? 🤔🤯
The ironic thing is this sounds better than most pop songs that have come out in the last 20 years!! 🤣🤣
This will eternally be relevant
Possibly right until the last white dwarf star dims out into the endless dark, yes.
sadly yes .. we're screwed.
It's ironic that this is actually a better song than 90% of the pop music out there.
11 years later, you’re still correct lol
This song is actually probably one of his deepest because every aspect of this song is so spot on and truthful it doesn’t even feel like a parody 😂😂
Now I'm singing with my gay voooooice

Why is this not at the top of the charts?
because its selfaware
Because someone actually tried when writing it.

The dancing and choreography in this is very under rated. My god this man is talented.

This is the best, truest, cleverest song LaJoie has ever done.
So it's almost 2023 and this is still the truth... A man ahead of his time!
actually boy bands like these were big even before this time. backstreet boys anyone?
@@SaturnineXTSyup
This is my favorite BTS song
TF your saying
@@jinku-godmost of bts fan are 1:32 and basically this song is blaming bts by saying all their song(pop songs) are blame
1st time hearing to bts and already liking them
😂😂
Just watching this 2020 and think how that dude had to dance this choreography 5 times.
Man Jon you have to make more songs. I miss your satire
Now he makes serious music. He goes by the name "Wolfie's Just Fine" but I sure do miss him just fucking around and making fun of everything around him.
Bruh i ain't even think about this lol...his shit is timeless.
2:25 Only Jon Lajoie makes a cameo in his own video lol...by the way, how many personas does he have now? like 16? haha
:33 < nicki minajs rival
It's actually MC vagina that makes the cameo. Same person and all.
Good spotting!
It just dawns on me that jon is pretty much an UA-cam OG by now. For real
"Now I'm singing with my gayyy voice! To let you know that I'm sensitive!"
"Oh yeah I'm singing with my gaaayy voice! Teenage girls love a sensitive voice!"
É que é mesmo xD
Ahahahah
Wow didn't expect that :O :P
rich people making money in there investments oh its so sexual baby
JonLajoie, if I was a girl, or gay, I would totally fall in love with you. But I am totally not a gay, because I am all about v.a.g.i.n.a.
I'm not gay, I just don't give a fuck about straight sex.
did you type that in your gaaay voice?
how old are you?
no homo
Me too
No, that's inappropriate
Is it bad that this song and "Radio Friendly Song" pretty much sums up 99.95% of songs on the radio?
yes it is
This is the ultimate criticism of the pop music industry! it also shows that every musician could easily write a popsong. just great!
masterpiece
hahah bro do you return to this video and comment every year?
return of the king
holy fuck, 5 years old and still relevant. Though it could be 10 years old and be relevant still.
or 15 or as far back as you want.
The song is actually 6 years old as of 2015. In the album version he says 2009
8 years old from Caameron's perspective now, 9 years old from 3ph600v.
January 5th, 2021... Still relevant!
What are you some kind of time traveler🤔
Blows my mind that this came out almost 14 years ago. Feels like yesterday.
The fact that he dressed up and edited this for quite a while is just amazing how far he will go
Your channel is fucking evergreen, man. You were always way ahead of your time, and still are to this day. Miss your stuff!
This song has more sense than 99% of nowadays music.
Will never get old.
These are the truest lyrics ever written
Self aware music is the best music out there. Change my mind
I started singing this in the shower before work the other day as it suddenly came to mind. Can't believe how old this video is now.
The production quality of this masterpiece is just insane for a YT comedy song! Not to mention the spot on lyrics! :) This just ages like an old wine...
Anyone else think that if Jon Lajoie was a sell out, he could make a lot of money writing crappy pop songs?
actually they are not crap imho :P they're brilliant
Thanks god he's not
no I'm pretty sure he would be doing that if he could
He's the LeBron James of parody songs as Weird Al is the Michael Jordan
His net worth is over 500,000$
I’m screaming! I was big fan of Backstreet boys when I was a teen and it makes me laugh even harder. Man you’re truly talented!
This song is just another reason Jon Lajoie is one of the most admirable people in the world
"and now the token rappers, that doesnt make any sense but helps to get small percentage of the urban music market " lmfaooo this
Rap verse, but yeah. Textbook recipe.
Oh my god, this is going to be a decade old soon.
Now it is
A decade plus 5 days.
Ugh don’t make me feel old lol
He did a good job of making half of them hot, he covers the whole spectrum of the boy band personalities, most ingenious.
Girls dancing. And suddenly...MCV. Brilliant!
What's great about this song is that it accurately portrays how most modern day pop songs are like.
Ummmm....yeah
Here I thought they were singing about a narwhal with a katana.
The sarcasm is strong with this one.
This may not be Jon Lajoie's most laugh out loud video, but IMHO this is his best one. This is worthy of study by media scholars!
six years...
wow.

In 2020, wow

I like how truthful and accurate it is in the music industry!!
This song is 10 years old...in 10 years from now it will be 20 years old...
mind....BLOWN!
loved it when it came out and still lovin it. just timeless
its 2022, here i am enjoying a classic
I listened to this song for 5 years without realizing all 5 of them are Jon until one day my wife said "wow this must have taken a lot of time"... Even now, looking at them, it's hard to tell they are all the same guy lol.
Just put this on a Big Time Rush ad and couldnt be happier with my decision
they should make Teens react to this...
This got recommended after like 9 years in an actual pop song playlist
This was perfect and it summed up everything I despise about the modern pop music industry.

Jon, I loved your cameo at the end there. That's going BACK. and this 2010 and I'm just seeing it. So, super back.
genius, this chronicle of contemporary music will be here forever
when you realize that most of his songs are way better than songs today.
His parodies are better than most parodies today.
As a 90s kid who is now a mom this song makes my stomach hurt.....too true.
I'm watching that docuseries about boy bands on Netflix and suddenly remembered every word to this song. 😂 still a bop.
Best pop song ever made.
I will never not love this song. Man I miss this guy so much😭
This kind of shit would blow up if it was released today lol Jon was way ahead of the times.
Just listening to the album again and this song still holds true…
Comedy is usually funny because it exposes something or some concept in society that is absurd when approached from a comedic angle, Jon nails this
he nails it in al.ost every vid he makes. this guy is really creative.
This guy is much, much smarter that I thought!
John Elmot he has straight up talent

There is so much truth in this..
I'm crying! This is so true! I was a teen girl in the days of 98 degrees and BSB. This is awesome!
I love this haha, amazing
