MC Dexpo haha I just chose not to because it felt kinda awkward to do for me. Like a lot of people copy Bo exactly and some of it gets kinda cringy, for example some people doing his world on fire joke don’t really pull it off imo anyways.
@@canairycartoon I don't see why he couldn't have. Like, 1, that's kinda the point of the song, and 2, it was 20 years ago. Sure people aren't still getting offended by it.
hi, I was maybe wondering if you could change the “God” to gosh? I don’t know if you’re a Christian or not but it’s using the Lord’s name in vain so I was asking if you could change it? If you’re atheist/not Christian feel free to ignore I was simply asking out of respect although it may not seem like that big of a deal. Ciao😊✌️
This was one of the best amateur performances of a Bo Burnham song that I've seen. I wanted to sing this song for my talent show but I couldn't figure out how to censor it without ruining the song. But you actually did a really good job of working around the questionable parts while still keeping the message intact! I might have to take notes for next time.
Louis Hendrich I told them it was a song by Bo Burnham before I started singing, it’s just not on the video because nobody recorded until I started singing.
Every song someone sings by their favorite artist is stolen. If someone sang a song by Justin Bieber on that stage nobody would bat an eyelid. Just because this songs by bo burnham, doesnt mean its been 'stolen'
Yes I am! I have been very busy with life but I’m still finding opportunities to sing and perform. I’m actually about to post a new video of me singing stop this train by John Mayer at a talent show. Stay tuned for that and thanks for the comment!
Zephyr Hernandez yeah sorry I explain why in the description but basically I wasn’t planning on videoing it so I just had to make do with what footage I had
i thought that it was better not clean so when i performed i didnt do clean in my highschool but no content cos my friend who had my phone forgot my passcode :)
I’m debating if I should perform this for my seventh grade classmates. Do you think that they won’t be able to handle it or do you think that this is an appropriate age group?
Patrick Cowles tbh I’m not sure this would be great for 7th graders. If you want to then by all means go for it I just think that it’s more suited for high schoolers or older
Ethan Groberg ok I might be in theater class next year in 8th grade-(Bo burhams new movie title) So itll be perfect but i stutter (speech impediment) but ill do it Like and subscribe
I saw a flyer for a lost dog and the dog didn't have any legs I saw a diabetic kid trick or treating I saw a giraffe who had a short neck That was sad, or a deer I saw an old man get hit by a train He didn't see it in the pouring rain He didn't hear me shout, "Look out for the train!" 'Cause I didn't say anything I just thought to myself, "Oh this is gonna be sad" And it was, I'm a genius I saw a man with only one eye in a 3D movie I saw a little boy drop his ice cream cone, directly on his mother's corpse I saw a kitten stuck in a tree, then the kitten jumped off and he hung itself I saw a boy who had red hair... I went to a store looking for something to buy But they only sold paintings of the same sad guy No, wait... this store sells mirrors See what I did there? Let's rock No The world's so sad, Maddison Pain, war, genocide, racism, sexism But I gotta remember there's good things about it too Like the fact that none of that's happening to me, score! Still though it's hard not to be sad about it How do y'all do it? I've been telling you guys, terribly sad things this whole song You haven't been sad at all You've been happy, no, You've been laughing That's it, laughter, it's the key to everything It's the way to solve all the sadness in the world I mean, not for the people that are actually sad But for the people like us, that gotta fucking deal with 'em all the time Being a comedian isn't being an insensitive prick Capitalizing on the most animalistic impulses of the public, it's being a hero! The world isn't sad The world's funny! I get it now I'm a sociopath! I saw an old man slip and fall, what a fucking idiot I saw a woman at her daughter's funeral... ha ha ha! Classic comedy Everything that once was sad is somehow funny now The Holocaust and 9-11 That shit's funny 24-7 'Cause tragedy will be exclusively joked about Because my empathy is bumming me out Goodbye, sadness Hello, jokes Thank you very much
Theonoi I wouldn’t say it defeats the purpose of the song as the message is still clearly conveyed with a few substitutions, and it’s not like it was my choice to take that stuff out. I had to run it by my teacher in order to perform.
@@ethangroberg1900 Ok, I understand, but in my opinion the raw honesty that comes from the lyrics and the lack of filter (because it's the pure truth and words are just words) is what makes the song so powerful. It's still funny and it was well performed but I hate it when words are changed just to make certain people comfortable because the world is sad because it's shit and that's the truth and no one is comfortable with what's happening, why should we be comfortable with the way that the world is expressed into words? I understand that it had to be run by a teacher, I figured, but it loses something and the song does lose a lot of it's meaning when it ''HAS TO be filtered'', not that the substitutions were bad or didn't make sense, rather the fact that they were necessary is what I have a problem with, the point is being honest and raw... Don't get me wrong, the structure is still there and the lyrics make sense and the performance was good but the reason behind why it had to be changed just annoys me because we are on purpose filtering stuff out which in my opinion defeats the purpose of the honesty.. The teacher is a pussy in my opinion who failed to see the real meaning of the song...
If you got some time, check out my cover of “Left Brain, Right Brain” that I just posted on this channel, thanks!
Amazing performance sir, love to hear ironic and perspective of God if you have covers for those
"I saw an old man get hit by a train-" *CROWD ALREADY LAUGHING WITHOUT THE PUNCHLINE*

that is pretty funny tbf

That part in Bo Burnham's original version sounds awkward and cringy enough to listen to. But Good Job, Ethan!
@@ethangroberg1900 I like that you thought about being original, that's not something you normally see :)
@@ethangroberg1900 I completely agree with you lol, thats exactly how i feel watching some bo burnham covers.
Best Sad cover. Especially the audience reaction.
Drama_Llama_5000 thanks man!
Yeah, the audience was great. I watched approximately a million videos where the crowd didn't get the jokes and it seemed like everybody was dead lol
"I saw an old man get hit by a train"
*CHEERS AND APPLAUSE*
"But the kitten jumped off but it broke it's leg" LMAO XDDDD
CrazyTK the original lyric was "but the kitten jumped off and it hung itself" 😂
@@vivbeckford actually it was a kid that jumped off the tree and hung himself
@@tini4518 "I saw a kitten stuck in a tree, then the kitten jumped off and he hung himself" is the lyric

murder death and not to mention, nice save

@@user-yo7dr5zv5q It might not seem like a big deal because it isn't.
@@user-yo7dr5zv5q God can also be a word used as the concept of the creator of the world outside of religions.
Bit old for my taste
Super Doge what exactly do you mean by that haha
Its a Bo Burnham joke. The story of the frogs if I remember correctly.
Oh lol I remember that now that you mention it, I thought that was some sort of criticism on the song hahaha
Classic Roger
Super Doge classic roger.
When you have to change the lyrics cause it'll be too offensive otherwise.
I wonder why. We need someone to investigate on this, oh I know a guy, his name is Shit Sherlock, first name No
"have to"
The school wouldn't have let him perform the song the way it was written
I would never have the balls to do a song like this in front of my school

don't censor it
@@thanks5832what he said, take an L so the school can get a W
I laughed so hard, this is super good dude! Keep up the good stuff just subbed.
your delivery of every joke is so good!
Its fun seeing others enjoying the song. c’:
What a great public reaction. Must have felt awesome.
I've been laughing so hard that I'm snorting
Best delivery on sad I've seen on a cover infront of a school
Oh my god, awesome job your voice is amazing and this made me laugh just as much as bo’s version 💕
I rate this guy
Half the audience probably doesn't know this is stolen but good job with making it clean
Louis Hendrich I told them it was a song by Bo Burnham before I started singing, it’s just not on the video because nobody recorded until I started singing.
Just making sure, i wasnt being hateful towards you :)
Yeah I didn’t think you were haha, and I was just letting you know
Every song someone sings by their favorite artist is stolen. If someone sang a song by Justin Bieber on that stage nobody would bat an eyelid. Just because this songs by bo burnham, doesnt mean its been 'stolen'
stolen? it’s a cover 😂
Wow this is really good!
This song is so funny, and now I can share it with my little sister thank you 💟
kitty cat I hope your little sister enjoyed it 💟💟💟 :,)
HAHAHA I LOVE THIS!!! BEST VIDEO IVE SEEN IN WEEKS
Lyrics for this virsion please anyone
the deadpool dude 72 what do you want to know? He only changed the swear words with the obvious substitutes
Yeah the only actual change I made was instead of the holocaust and 9/11 line I said murder death and not to mention, slaughters funny 24/7

I dont know if you are still around youtube
but god, you were so talented back then
i hope that you are still working with music!

@@ethangroberg1900 great to hear
im sad that i cant see anything from the small screens lol
Zephyr Hernandez yeah sorry I explain why in the description but basically I wasn’t planning on videoing it so I just had to make do with what footage I had
Ethan Groberg I just made a sad pun really, but now im sad because it was missed
Well it was a pretty crap pun so maybe that’s why I didn’t notice 😪
Nicely done!
Jabba Man thanks man!
Damn nice one
i must say, that's one hell of a crowd
this guy is amazing!
i love this
LET'S ROCK!
no?
Is that the same piano that Tyler Joseph use ? :o
btw, the instrument is in bad angle/position. You cant see the performer behind that piano xD
Awesome execution
i thought that it was better not clean so when i performed i didnt do clean in my highschool but no content cos my friend who had my phone forgot my passcode :)
Did they not allow you the 9/11 lines or did you just didnt wanna risk it?
I love it
Why does he sound like bo
Because he doesn't
true lol
Clean???
hollie conheeney have you heard the original?
Ethan Groberg yeah its way better.
Original one wouldn't be appropriate for a school setting
sorry to disappoint you, Hollie
Cleaner than the inside of a vacuum
Imagine there was a kid who knew the original song lyrics.
Bo Burnham rules!!!!
Bravo!
This was pretty sad
Is that the twenty one pilots piano?
Wasthis recorded at a school and if it was, what's the name of the school?, cause that black box theater looks exactly the same at my school
Boredom Mountain View Highschool, don’t use this info to stalk me haha
Ethan Groberg hahaha thanks and don't worry I won't stalk yah, but good job on the cover
Boredom thanks! And do you go there or does it just look similar?
Ethan Groberg it just looks similar
nice voice
Nice
i think red hair looks good on certain guys... im talking about actual red hair , not ginger btw
I’m the 666th like. Also I love this
MacawMC 18 spoOky, haha but thanks! Check out my other cover on this channel of Left Brain, Right Brian if you’ve got time!
Ethan Groberg course dude. I think it’ll be great!
I get the censoring of swear words since it seems to be mostly kids, but you censored the 9/11 line?
I’m debating if I should perform this for my seventh grade classmates. Do you think that they won’t be able to handle it or do you think that this is an appropriate age group?
Patrick Cowles tbh I’m not sure this would be great for 7th graders. If you want to then by all means go for it I just think that it’s more suited for high schoolers or older
Were you not allowed to say holocaust or 911?

You haven't been sad at all

LOL
Is it weird that in this video the next recommend video is "Cringe Compilation"
No i think is relatable
the fact that this was sung ''clean'' and you didn't say holocaust or 911 as if these are ''bad'' words just defeats the purpose of the song, genius
