2009, when times were simpler, back when all you had to do to get on the front page of youtube was make a parody of a popular song, I’m sad that dosent world anymore
NOSTALGIA! damn, I really want to talk to people that remember when this first came out! get at me on Twitter, I'm gonna make a group so we can find people that were around back when UA-cam was the BEST! :) @TakeroldAV
I haven't watched this video for five years, and it still gets stuck in my head every time Fireflies plays on the radio. Also, this video is older than half the children watching youtube right now.
Wow... I - just...wow. What do they say? BRING ME BACK! What a wild time this was for the Internet. So many people appeared, became Internet famous, then disappeared just like that
I had heard of Dave days, but but never actually seen any of his videos back in the day. “How is this a lamp” is one of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard
The first time I went to IKEA(like a month ago), I totally loved everything I saw! All the cool little rooms, weird furniture, and everything. About an hour into it, I started feeling like I was stuck in the Labyrinth, and David Bowie was gonna show up and threaten to kidnap my baby brother. Three hours into it, I decided to just give up and let myself die in the depths of the eternal hell that is IKEA home furnishings. My mother later found me and dragged me out. Good times.
I remember watching this on the built-in UA-cam app on my old iPod touch 3rd gen. Was searching for the actual fireflies song and found this, have been watching Dave ever since. Crazy to think that was almost 12 years ago
Plz take me back! I remember watching this when it came out. UA-cam was a great site to get lost in. You would not believe your eyes.. this just takes me back it's like I can almost wake up and it's 2009
I was in 5th grade back then when it was uploaded, now 8 years later I graduated ;( Miss the old days playing Runescape all day and listening to Dave Days haha
Dave Days - Ikea (parody of Fireflies by Owl City) Lyrics: [Verse 1] You would not believe your eyes If ten million home supplies Appeared and taught me how to live I test out every bed (Look!) I'm on a movie set You'd think me straight, I just can't help but frolic [Chorus 1] I like to make myself believe That I could die here happy Everything I'd ever need is right in front of me I think there's something wrong with this TV Naptime [Verse 2] I take a thousand steps When do these arrows end? Either deja vu or I've been here before These employees are jerks These arrows don't freakin' work Because if they did, I wouldn't be asking you- "How do I get out of here?" [Chorus 2] I like to make myself believe These magic arrows help me With every step, I'm lost again My legs can't walk no more I don't think they have an exit door How is this a lamp?! [Chorus 3] I find it kind of hard to believe That there's a food court Right next to me If I never left, how did I get here? I think I saw this in the Twilight Zone once Nobody inside made it out What are you looking at? [Bridge] My points of latitude and longitude are 30n 100w (30 north, 100 west) I'll be on the couch that's on your left [Outro] I like to make myself believe That somebody will save me...
My youtube channel was only a year old when this video came out. I listened to this song so much back then. I haven't seen this in years and somehow I remember most of the words!! Anyone else miss classic UA-cam?
Wow, this came out a year after I graduated high school. I remember this one and pop tart battle. Also his Chinese food parody. I’m 30 and I feel ancient. 😂
I saw a tiktok video and saw a guy that looked like someone i knew. I tried to remember who he was and then I remembered it was a famous OG youtuber who did a Fireflies parody. AND NOW I’M HERE! Omg!!
I remember watching this when i was younger and laughing SO hard then i never watched any more of your vids cause i was young and stupid then i watched them again.... OBSESSION SETTING IN!
Decided to search this up in 2022. Immediate chills and nostalgia hearing the opening chords. What a different time.
For real
Miss these times

2009 was a good year
SarahxSmith ikr i born then!
Amen to that pal

damn dude
DieEckenHocker dern sure
When you knew every word to Dave Days songs but you couldnt ace a math test
ikr
This is my first time watching this guy.
And so far, it looks like a younger, more mild version of Weird Al.
Do you have any updates? Just being curious.
Holy sh... This came out in 09! I remember watching this when it first came out! Getting old I guess...
Bro it’s been 5 more years since you said that.

This is probably one of the music videos I oftened quoted in my head, back in Summer 2012 (and the "I'm just a baby" one too).
Don't blame you. This is such an awesome song!
I had heard of Dave days, but but never actually seen any of his videos back in the day. “How is this a lamp” is one of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard
I came here because I was in IKEA and realised I needed this song that made my childhood back in my life.
+Emily Mae Darby FTW same
Legend has it, he’s still stuck in that IKEA
I feel like I’m the only person watching this 10 years later in 2020
Man I’m here for the ride too
You ain't alone
I was just at IKEA and all I could think of was this
Your not alone I assure you
best part 0:31
"how is this a lamp?"
I got that lamp
LMAO i laughed out loud at this comment
Veerle van Dijk l
We had that lamp back in 2009 haha
NOSTALGIA
Yup. Was the first davedays video I saw when it just came out. Been a fan ever since.
Joris Minne Watching it now it's my first dave days video
Yup
My god....has it really been 4 years...? This is one of those nostalgic videos for me XD
Same.... Jezus, this was/is awesome
ulrich5000 now you can times that by 2
Wow... Was it really been 4 years ago since I've first seen this comment? XD
its been 8 years now!
This is what it means to go even further beyond
Yay for coming back to feel nostalgia! I remember watching it when it wasnt even 6months old
2024. I went Ikea and tested every bed
The first time I went to IKEA(like a month ago), I totally loved everything I saw! All the cool little rooms, weird furniture, and everything. About an hour into it, I started feeling like I was stuck in the Labyrinth, and David Bowie was gonna show up and threaten to kidnap my baby brother.

My mother later found me and dragged me out. Good times.
I used to be obsessed with this, omg.
Dave was such a baller. Can’t believe this is over 10 years old
Almost brought a tear to my eye finding this after 13 years of not hearing it. Used to play this all the time in elementary school. 22 now.
Back when a simple MGM cameo made us all giddy. Ah, the simpler days of UA-cam.
THE NOSTALGIA!
The Memories...............................................
This comment is 7 years old, imagine the nostalgia now!
apart from being a fireflies parody, this song also describes scp-3008
Petition Dave days to remake this masterpiece after 13 years
LOOK AT HIS FLIP!
2:06
Dave does have style xD
Lil Cassie Winchester i can do it i love
i still watch this everytime i visit ikea
Ten years later... Still great!
Think this is my very first youtube video i can remember watching and having on repeat
awesome to hear this again, i was 14 when this came out. highschool memoriessss ^^
2024 and I still know every word.
Is it bad that I still watch this?:')
No
Probably so, but apparently you're not alone.
Nope.
Nope.
I remember watching this on the built-in UA-cam app on my old iPod touch 3rd gen. Was searching for the actual fireflies song and found this, have been watching Dave ever since. Crazy to think that was almost 12 years ago
I'm here in 2020 listening to this song, As a pandemic is going on. :)
Oh this reminds me of my Teens!!! (:
This shit takes me back. Time flies.
no fire flies
found this video after watching it 5 years ago when it first released. Wow.
Almost 2020 and this still represents the UA-cam spirit :)
Ist crazy. Every IKEA at the world Looks the same
Lol tru
This is still hilarious
my favorite store to get lost in is a place with lots of electricity and food and toilets and beds xD ALSO FREE WIFI!!!!
Plz take me back! I remember watching this when it came out. UA-cam was a great site to get lost in. You would not believe your eyes.. this just takes me back it's like I can almost wake up and it's 2009
#throwbackthrusday I remember back in 2010 when I first watched this :') Time passes so quickly

I sing this song every time I'm at Ikea now.
Holy shit, 7 years ago?
SedateArc20 now 8

Dave Days - Ikea (parody of Fireflies by Owl City)
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million home supplies
Appeared and taught me how to live
I test out every bed
(Look!) I'm on a movie set
You'd think me straight, I just can't help but frolic
[Chorus 1]
I like to make myself believe
That I could die here happy
Everything I'd ever need is right in front of me
I think there's something wrong with this TV
Naptime
[Verse 2]
I take a thousand steps
When do these arrows end?
Either deja vu or I've been here before
These employees are jerks
These arrows don't freakin' work
Because if they did, I wouldn't be asking you-
"How do I get out of here?"
[Chorus 2]
I like to make myself believe
These magic arrows help me
With every step, I'm lost again
My legs can't walk no more
I don't think they have an exit door
How is this a lamp?!
[Chorus 3]
I find it kind of hard to believe
That there's a food court
Right next to me
If I never left, how did I get here?
I think I saw this in the Twilight Zone once
Nobody inside made it out
What are you looking at?
[Bridge]
My points of latitude and longitude are 30n 100w (30 north, 100 west)
I'll be on the couch that's on your left
[Outro]
I like to make myself believe
That somebody will save me...
nice
First one of his videos I ever watched, can't believe it was that long ago! :')
Ten freaking years. Ten, you guys. Ten years. That's all I can say.
Makes me want to go and sob up in a corner.
@@sebbef I'll go with you. Please bring Bourbon. Dang, bourbon? I'm damn old...
I love that last lyric sentence. "I like to make myself believe that somebody will save me"
True that.
This was your best video ever by far!
Coming back to appreciate this masterpiece.
this is my favorite of his videos
My youtube channel was only a year old when this video came out. I listened to this song so much back then. I haven't seen this in years and somehow I remember most of the words!! Anyone else miss classic UA-cam?
HAHAHAHAHAHA. I love all of your videos! You're a force of nature!!
If you ever get stuck in IKEA, just film the employees and they’ll show you the exit 😏
Why is this the first time that I found this, it's awesome!! needs to be more popular again
First video of davedays I've seen, and I just decided to spend my evening watching his videos :)
i miss these types of videos dave! i remember meeting you was the best day of my life.
I remember giving this 5 stars and not a thumbs up.
The best ikea video ever! Thank you for the good memories! I laughed a lot! I love this music and love the store! Best match!
This song was in my head and I had to come back and relive the good old days!
I used to be obsessed to this song, I'm so nostalgic
Time has flown so fast! I used to love this video!
Here in 2021 and I still think of this song when I go to IKEA
Damn it Dave! I keep humming this song whenever I go to Ikea! Dx
The first time I watched this I downloaded it to my iPod. Good shit, good old days
Wow, this came out a year after I graduated high school. I remember this one and pop tart battle. Also his Chinese food parody. I’m 30 and I feel ancient. 😂
Its 10 years later and this is still a classic 2019
I saw a tiktok video and saw a guy that looked like someone i knew. I tried to remember who he was and then I remembered it was a famous OG youtuber who did a Fireflies parody. AND NOW I’M HERE! Omg!!
This song actually inspired to go to IKEA, even if it is like 10-15 miles away. It was worth it.
Damn 2009. Wish could turn back the time
Haha I loved the bit when you fell asleep in the bed lol :D
I remember watching this when i was younger and laughing SO hard then i never watched any more of your vids cause i was young and stupid then i watched them again.... OBSESSION SETTING IN!
2022 anyone? What a time to be alive.
I'm on a Dave Days spree right now and im weirdly sad missing all of this
The best Ad I have ever seen :)
Video made me so happy, thank you!!
:D I just went to IKEA for the first time in Tampa yesterday and I just HAD to watch this again lol
OH MY GOD THE NOSTALGIA IS REAL
