1. I think ‘what does that mean’ sums up about half of Tom’s songs 2. As a veteran non-cop myself I can confirm that this man is definitely not a cop Another banger Ian!
He’s a modern incarnation of a chaotic trickster god, or like, the fae. Instead of getting cursed for not giving him some of your lunch, it’s high fives
It's worth mentioning the lyrics "Stepped on shit, talkin mostly speed." 'Stepped on' refers to drugs (usually cocaine/'blow') that've been adulterated, usually to water them down, like adding baking powder. Then to mask that, you might add a cheaper stimulant, in this case speed, AKA amphetamines. So not only did he sell a child cocaine, it was BAD cocaine mixed with amphetamines and who knows what else. Also the hat the nephew was wearing is heavily associated with primary school (grade 1-6) kids.
thank you for that explanation bc im not familiar enough with drug lingo to have processed that and did not feel like googling it. didnt realize it was 'stepped-on shit', i thought the singer literally walked on a turd dkfjhfgh which didnt make sense but was the only thing i had to go off of
Double Businessman! Thanks for covering it Ian. The first and probably still best Tom Cardy song in my opinion. I remember having an real actual ROFL moment at the *incoherent cop noices* moment. The entire scenario is just so vivid and bizarre and also just an 80s movie.
I think the incoherent rambling in Businessman isn't about not being able to think of anything but about the character not having any good excuses/lies left.
So glad you listened to both business man, it's been awhile since I listened to the Album version and I forgot it was THAT funny, and was having those pained laughs along side. It goes do far left field it's insane. High five is also great, Just how he writes simple things going off the fucking rails is amazingly well done. Dude obliterates friends life cause no high five. just. Damn man.
Tom Cardy definitely has a wide range of facial expressions. I still laugh at horrible histories songs which was a children's show still make me laugh and had historical facts and events in. I enjoyed flight of the concords. Comedy music has a very wide variety which I enjoy.
Thank you so so much for introducing me to Tom Cardy!! I didn't even know he existed before your first reaction, and I'm so happy I have found his songs, and your reactions are really fun!
When I first heard that almost aggressive "Blessed!" in #Inspirational, I immediately cracked up and had a solid 5 minute laughing fit. Probably because it was my first exposure to Tom Cardy, meaning I didn't expect something like that at all.
There's a cultural aspect that I don't know if it tracks to America in that "high fives" are... they're not NOT a thing, but they're not a thing in a way that you would necessarily ask for one and have it given in public. It's seen as 'a bit much', because we frown on overt self-celebration. So, what the song's playing off, is that the people who think, and desperately want, it to be a thing like that get... INTENSE about it.
As an American I immediately mentally translated it to "the guy who says 'what, I don't get a hug???' to women who clearly don't want to give him a hug." The calculus of "do I reinforce this unwanted behavior and suffer or do I refuse this unwanted behavior and SUFFER" felt very similar to me, even if I hadn't seen it with high fives specifically.
🔥🤔 and 🥑🥑 have entered my personal lexicon alongside ok 🥐 fu and ski-bap ba-dap bh Tom is truly the king of making nonsense hilarious and of making bops that are impossible to sing in public.
was rewatching these, and that thing you said about the sudden dark twists in comedy songs made me think about Foil from Weird Al, I loved the sudden twist in that song!
I'm surprised you hadn't heard all of Business Man as of yet! I'd consider his first BIG hit, it was the first song of his I saw trending at least, it's what got me into him.
I absolutely love Tom Cardy!! and that’s actually how I discovered your channel in the beginning I appreciate your reaction video so much!!! You always notice the details and elaborate those rhymes, songwriting, music I also enjoy your laughter a lot I really hope you can react to some more his songs Although I know you maybe already heard/seen some like Big Breakfast and H.Y.C.Y.BH, but I really like how you talk about his work It would be super nice if you can do those song (even it’s not first impression Thank you for your amazing videos!!
I only just found your channel but PLEASE watch Red Flags. It's another Tom Cardy and i adore it. I find myself singing it nonstop now when doing nothing. Just singing it absently. Such a worthy song.
This was my first time listening to the album version of Business Man and I made the mistake of watching this at midnight and I had to fight so hard not to burst out laughing so that I didn't wake up my wife or daughter 🤣
I had no idea there was a full album version of Business Man. I thought the one minute version was the full version. Thanks Ian for making me realize that. Now it's one of my favorite Tom Cardy songs.
Oh also, at the end of #inspirational, he tags @WILLSMITH, who is not the actor. He's just another guy with the same name who got there first, and he's mistakenly tagged all the time.
ok, high five is probably the funniest song, that doesn't suffer for the joke, that I've heard by Tom. Its a bop I could actually listen to, like flirt with your dad or I don't work here
@@Insaneian Fair enough😁. I tried to see if you've analysed Bo Burnham but could only find Welcome to the Internet, do you have a preference for music videos over live performances? It would make sense since the quality of life performances can make lyrics a bit harder to pick up on.
@@reitekaredacted2787 usually I prefer the studio recording, or at least the "album version" in the case of Bo, since his albums are usually live. However, other than INSIDE, I've already heard everything by him, so not much there for me to react to (except for INSIDE, which Netflix has an issue with me reacting to anyway).
When you watch Stupendium's next video, you should probably read the first paragraph in the description for a little bit of context. The vid is [[INSANE]]!!!
ok, now i have to look up Shakespeare insults. thank you also you had a bit of a mix up at High Five, it was about lying to the girlfriend that you(guy being talked about) is cheating on her with Tom
Hey I know I've told you a little bit about him before but have you checked out Tyler Cassidy yet he's kind of an acquired taste so if you didn't find him to your liking that's alright but if you haven't I suggest you just check out the his small short videos you really can't make a video out of unless you do a lot of them but yeah I suggest you just watching the smaller ones on your own and then save his longer when's for a video also all of the videos with a little girl's face that's his serious album about his wife
Please check out stupendium's newest song! Ive been waiting for people to react to this masterpiece but only 3 people so far!! Plus enjoy the way you break it all down!
Just wondered if you're at all accustomed with Undertale and/or Deltarune... Because Stupendium has released a Delarune based song from the perspective of Spamton and oh god is it one hell of a perfectly realised product. 100% recommend if you are aware and play the games.
@@BogwaterVAstudios check the playlist, I've not only done both of those, but Hey I Don't Work Here was nominated for a Comedy music award, and I have a cover of It coming later this year!
"Do you bite your thumb at me?" "I bite my thumb at you, sir." -- Romeo and Juliet. "Biting" your thumb meant putting your thumb against your top front teeth and flicking it forward...it was essentially a way of flipping someone off back then. There are many other examples, but that's the best known one.
It's always great to discover different music reactors that do some form of music themselfs especially. Honestly I pressed play just for Bussines Man. Look I understand a need for video being longer , so pausing during song to talk about something in a song might be okay if there is something important and/or fun , but FIVE times in 61 seconds video? Dude that's boring. Completely decimates any enjoyment. A bloody f*cking massacre. Wouldn't be more productive just one comment (or zero)and then after the song rewind to interesting parts? I mean I watched the other 2 songs reaction a bit. Not entierly , but a bit. It couldn't prepare me for THE shitstorm that was Bussines Man tiktok version reaction. 👎
Cool story bro. I got at least 25k folks who don't agree, tho. And looking at the views on this video vs comments like yours, that number is almost double. So...welcome to the minority, I guess.
I may regret asking, but has something come out about or related to Professor Elemental? Internet searching doesn't seem to lead to anything. Or was that just a "We're talking about Tom Cardy right now" moment I misconstrued?

"One of them has a single chicken pock on their head!" are the lyrics you were struggling to hear around 34:30 I believe. Great reaction!
THANK YOU! I knew it was different than what I thought I heard. I appreciate that.

I do like that both versions of business man are just long enough to include my favourite lyric "why does he have a gun?"

I thought the "incoherent cop noises" bit was supposed to be because he's wiping his glasses on his tie, and it's interfering with his wire?

Without a doubt, Tom Cardy can make music and rhythm with any kind of word that comes to mind 😂😂
He did actually change the channel, i can say this because i'm listening with headphones
This was a fun react. I have trouble finding someone AS into Tom as I am.
He's a brilliant composer AND editor AND wow the talent.
Inspirational is the bestworst song. It's a glorious fest of hilarious cringe and also an absolute bop, I love it.
