I think the bizarre brilliance of a lot of these “too happy/too sad” videos is that even though on the surface they may just seem funny because of the seeming clash between the lyrical content and the emotional sound, of you scratch a little deeper, it starts to seem that the lyrics actually resonate meaningfully in this new context. Like, this song as a call to gay men in the 70s who may have felt lost or struggled, as a beacon of hope, now rendered through the filter of someone who feels hopeless, hearing someone say “you can get yourself clean” (stop your drug habits and self destructive ways) and have a good time with the boys (be yourself, accept yourself). Idk, weirdly and unexpectedly powerful?
Such a weird feeling having this video recommended to me, scrolling through the comments, nodding along to this one like, “Huh, yeah, I guess you can see it that way” and then realizing this comment was me 2 fucking years ago.
Oh, my, Those synths reminded me of some Pink Floyd stuff. It is just beautiful. Can't recall the right song. Maybe Welcome To The Machine... Just amazing. Great work, guys!
Love it when you put your own spin on popular songs. You make them sound current and not just some "floor filler" at family parties that you nan drags you up to dance to!
What I absolutely love about these guys is not just their pure talent, but how creative they are. Completely reinventing a song takes a huge amount of skill and to execute it well takes even more. Top drawer guys! Keep it up :)
When you're happy, you understand the music When you're sad, you understand the lyrics Me and the quarantine boys 🎵it was fun to stay at the Y... Y... why? Why!! Oh, God why?🎵
I love your phrasing on this one. YMCA is such an established song that it really caught me when you stretched a word and added some space. The guitar playing is on point as usual.
You guys are a trip!! My first viewing had me cracking up, comparing to original! Second play I listened with new ears, and realized, this is freakin' fantastic! Who does this?? The Melodika Bros of course!! Love love love it!
After years of not watching you videos, when I started watching your new ones, I made the mistake of thinking a contrasted cover made by you would be impossible and sound weird, but it's not. It's incredibly beautiful.
Local radio show Rumble in the Morning played this tune a couple days ago. I hadn't heard it yet, but the vocals were unmistakable. Tight cover, as usual.
For me it sounds like sarcastically singing about an experience in a cult or a concentration camp, when you were promissed everything, but it turned out to be suffering

It sounds like the YMCA is closed due to the pandemic and he's singing about how much he misses being there
Nailed it.
big oof
Yes, yes it does
yup, longing for those days you go
when you are depressed but your mug has an inspirational quote
When you're sun-deprived for weeks but your elderly neighbor offers hot stew.
Ymca: Young men cry alone
Didn't you listen? There's a verse specifically saying that you should *not* do things all alone
They shouldn't though
Young men have one of the highest suicide rates too, cos toxic masculinity stops them showing weakness or getting any help
We recommend CALM campaign against living miserably, which is specifically for men struggling
hahahahaha
Young Men Commit Arson
At least he has his brother, in these parlous times.
The saddest version says: "Is fun to stay at the Y..Y.. why? WHY!!!!! oh god why?"
When it gets to that part of the song the vibe switched to Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.
Whycma? 2021 Today..! Going backwards in history..humanity....

Please don't take Our Lord's Name in vain. Peace!
Jeez. Way to remind me of all the people I lost during the AIDS crisis.
From now on I'll be way too sad when people don't play this version
Every time I read a video title and think "That sounds so silly," it turns out legitimately beautiful. How do you guys do that?? 😄
Magic.
Look out Matt Mulholland's piano version of I'm blue, shows that the song is actually pretty sad, despite being so upbeat in the original.
Exactly
I used to work at a YMCA...this version fits the mood better than the original.
I can't explain how it messed up with my feelings... Am I sad? Do I wanna dance?
You could do both with a peformative dance or something.
hahahaha

@@sharonoddlyenough omg this is amazing and needs to be done!!!
That's the only version of that song I want to hear from now on!
I recommend also T.I.M.E. by Neil Cicierega
Would love a Way Too Sad version of Footloose! Or maybe Girls Just Wanna Have Fun?
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun could be awesome! Maybe it's collab material!
I believe the original version is more sad than Cyndi's version. The lyrics are already dark.
Actually schmoyo or the gregory brothers did one of those (it might not be a full length one, tho)
Here's a cover of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun in Minor key (sad) th-cam.com/video/MCJh4a5iAqw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MichaelKorteMichaelKorte
@@Shiva182Katarina , thanks!
our local YMCA was closed due to lack of funding and this really captures the pain

I never thought this song could sound so depressing and sad ...
please make a Way Too Sad Cover of 'I'm still standing'
I need this in my life
Yes please!
Yes! That would be amazing!
Sad YMCA has some real Hotel California vibes.
Why, MCA, why??
Melodicka Covers Admirers?
Why Melodicka Confuses Algorithms?
Why this Music Cheered us up even being so sAd?
@@m.carolzi All of the above! 😄
@@m.carolzi 😂🤣😂
when you miss MCA of the Beastie Boys (R.I.P.)
You should do Walking on sunshine next. Way too much positive energy in that song!
I second this nomination.
I third this suggestion
I say put it fo(u)rth
I plead the fifth
Six six sixth
I want this on my funeral. It is perfect
This feels like a song about the tragedy of the AIDS crisis
It begs so hard to be happy... and that makes it sadder.
i just realized how depressing yhe lyrics actually were. im glad someone made a sad version
This song has me like: welcome to the YMCA, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave... O.o
Who had the audacity to *dislike* this amazing cover?
Y.M.C.A
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
Oh, my, Those synths reminded me of some Pink Floyd stuff. It is just beautiful. Can't recall the right song. Maybe Welcome To The Machine... Just amazing. Great work, guys!
The best song Steven Wilson never released
Exactly accurate
Thank you for making my day. This could land on another Cover Version :P when SW is done with Taylor Swift
I was digging it most the way through but that ending really put it over the top. Loved it! Fantastic work you two!
Wait how is this comment 12 hour old when the video came out 18 minutes ago?
@@wernald2117 lots of creators will make videos available first to financial supporters, then make the video public later :)

For the first time thank to you have listened the lyrics 🤔
God they just nail these slow guitar/ballad covers every time!
I never imagined this.....like, ever. Somehow you did it. High fives!!!!!!!!!!! I love it.
You two just CAN'T make a bad cover! They all range from good to amazing, and this is no exception! Well done (again)! :)
Oh, how I love sad acoustic covers of otherwise happy songs
Love this! What an amazingly sublime sound. It gave me goosebumps, when I was expecting something silly.
When you're happy, you understand the music
When you're sad, you understand the lyrics
Me and the quarantine boys
🎵it was fun to stay at the Y... Y... why? Why!! Oh, God why?🎵

Y.M.C.A. the Fallout edition. Love it!
I'd love to replace the original version with this one in a wedding DJ's playlist. That moment would be priceless.
FIRST!
Oh, boys. You really know how to turn my day around!
Пропел и прослезился. Спасибо, ребята!
Thanks from Russia!

It reminds me of "Pain" by Three Days Grace.
Now i think about it, with some distorted guitar, it would be exactly their cover.
Ragazzi, non esiste un canale migliore del vostro. Siete davvero straordinari
I just can't stop watch your videos. So talented. Amazing 😍
Everything that comes from these guys is incredible!
This is art.
I absolutely LOVE this version. 🫶
Everything those dudes touch is becoming gold, damm......
Way Too Sad Covers are the best covers...
That guitar bit at the end had some Gilmour'esque quality to it. Enjoyed this cleverly put together arrangement, well done.
*way too sad YMCA dance* great job guys!

This is gonna be on a movie trailer at some point
Amazing version, guys! the keyboard's solo.... just great!

This song sounds WAY more deep when its played like this. lol
Hearing those sad tones turned YMCA into the house of rising sun.
Suggestion: Black Sabbath - Iron Man (Cyberpunk/Synth Cover)
Yoooooooo. Genius idea
N.I.B reggae version
@@TranSylvainie Your idea is so much better.
@@autumnphillips151 both are smashing tbh
Iron Man but it sounds like Alan Silvestri
I'm speechless. greeting from earth
You two are so awesome at these arrangements. Thank you for letting me hear songs where the meaning seems different.
Your musical talent continue to blow me away
please do more sad covers or ballad versions!
This is absolutely brilliant!
"Sad ballad"
...
I read that as "Salad" and was very confused
Bad sallad.
Aahh... The good old times... :') ❤💯
I hadn't realized this is what I've always wanted.
Finally, a version of this song to rival Neil Cicierega's
I was just thinking that lol!
Who?
I live for your sad covers
probably one of the very best and original cover I've seen and enjoyed. Thanks guys!
these guys took this song and did there version and reworked it and did a hell of a awesome job .!!..need to hear a lot more from these guys .
Big fan from Brazil!
I can actually hear the words! Beautiful!
Pure love.
Simply amazing
That's one of the most epic endings I've heard in a song in a very very long time!!!
It's so good, oh mama.. I love your work guys
Amazing guys, just amazing
Wow!I never thought I'd ever enjoy a YMCA so much.You two never cease to amaze me though.
AWESOME arrangement!!!!!!
It sounds like the YMCA was like their homeland that was wiped out in The War
Thanks for this one. Amazing art!
Wow, this transcends funny parody cover and is an awesome song in its own right! :-O
I've waited far to long for this ❤️
I want more sad covers
this is incredible
Marvelous

You guys are so freaking good! I wish I had half that Skill!
That ending though!
Excellent version! A man being wistful and thoughtful about the YMCA.
Near the end I'm getting some Steven Williams vibes
For me it sounds like sarcastically singing about an experience in a cult or a concentration camp, when you were promissed everything, but it turned out to be suffering
Fantastic cover as always.
You two are so talented. Not only musically, your videos are high quality.
I am now convinced that this is what a funeral for a ymca member sounds like
