One-Eyed Jack really got Johnny to kill his dad and then went “sooo. I heard the position just opened up 👀👉🏻👈🏻” and I choose to believe that Johnny just flipped him off and shot him point blank
During the instrumental at 2:22 I totally imagine Jonny shoots his dad and then just immediately pulls out his harmonica and starts playing super dramatically over his dead body like the iconic bastard he is

I thought they were playing poker (which idk a little about) but idk what suicide king is?? Is that something they made up or is it actually something?
I believe they’re playing a variation on poker, and the suicide king is the king of hearts! It’s called the suicide king because it looks like the king on the art is putting his sword through his own head

jonny:”call an ambulance, *pulls out gun* BUT NOT FOR ME”
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING XD
WAS THINKING THAT EXACT MEME OMG
Carmilla, seeing this absolute mess of a kid: oh I could make him SO much worse
or 'oh FUCK my coping mechanisms are contagious'
JONNY SINGING “and I’ll never go marching home” TO THE TUNE OF JOHNNY COME MARCHING HOME I LOVE IT SO MUCH
The "and it's not a prescription for me" gives me the same vibes as "Call an ambulance, but not for me"
One-Eyed Jack really got Johnny to kill his dad and then went “sooo. I heard the position just opened up 👀👉🏻👈🏻” and I choose to believe that Johnny just flipped him off and shot him point blank
*realises that his original name is Jonny Vangelis and he changed it to Jonny D'ville like Angel and Devil*
He's so extra; i love him
Jonny really said "I could be your Vangelis or your D'ville"
@@quill1596 sjsjskjsj shut up im rolling
I honestly just thought it was a hint to cruella de ville
@@Ella-gj7vr Well, cruellas name also just means cruel devil, so..
I have a vivid image of Jonny walking away from the burning casino and doing a heel click
nice
i wanna draw that now
this song is basically just jonny talking to himself
This song is just Jonny in three different hats
yup
@@lilaboxxAnd a mustache
The way he says "and it wasn't a prescription for me" makes me emotional wtf
During the instrumental at 2:22 I totally imagine Jonny shoots his dad and then just immediately pulls out his harmonica and starts playing super dramatically over his dead body like the iconic bastard he is
i thought that too lmao
He would definitely do that
A level of Extra we can all admire
Legs doing the classic "kick out sideways from the knees" country dance as well
Oh chaos, now I can’t get that Image out of my head and I love it
me, finding this album several months after the other 5: ooh, theres _additional_ lore
There’s 7 albums
The card slaps are way too satisfying
Absolutely agreed. What's even more satisfying is the sort of snap thing he does in place during the one live show
@@Claws907 gods the spin snap gesture is so nice.
i only ever knew the snaps as jonny's fingers snapping in the live show and knowing that they're cards makes it so much cooler?? holy shit i love it
Also the one at 3:05 that has the banjo mixed in?? Chefs kiss
everytime I listen to this I just assume that those two gun shots are jonny firing randomly into the audience. Seems like a thing he'd do.
That makes sense
Violence was always the answer for him
He would most definitely do that
jonny and ashes are burned everything to the ground solidarity
@@justforplaylists yup
Love how the ending is tales to be told because Jonny was the first mechanism (I think)
I’m pretty sure there was already The Toy Soldier? They had been mentioned in the Dr. Carmilla song “Eleven”
the toy soldier is not a mechanisms though, it is... something
IIRC, Jonny was the first of The Mechanisms crew (not counting Doc), but TS was already around, just not part of it yet :)
@@TheVoidSings It's not a mechanism but it is a mechanism because technically that's the name the whole crew gave themselves. Whatever it is it's an honorary mechanism and a valuable member of the team
@@TheVoidSings Technically it’s not even something, as revealed in DTTM
Suicide kings= King of Hearts
The card mentioned in the First Verse already tells you who the story is about.
...isn't jonny the Red Joker
@@datamancy138 I think they mean because Jonny's Mechanism is of the heart I believe?
you cant PROVE that jack isnt jonny's real dad and thus i take this nonsense and run with it
oh god he killed his dad twice...
Truly, Jonny has to be the most *extra* in the room at all times, and if that means double parricide, by god he’ll do it.
One Eyed Jack is the same Jack as the one from Once Upon A Time (In Space) sccdbjdcjbcdbj I love this
What if they both were his dads and that's how they dealt with their divorce
double patricide? No wonder Jonny's projecting
I'm obsessed with the sort of laughy way he says "Oh yeah"
"Got a new friend shes a doctor"
Carmilla?
I'm relatively new and have Questions™
yep he's talking about carmilla! feel free to ask questions and the mechanisms wiki might be helpful :)
The harmonica is so good
So this is his origin story. These tales contain their origin stories? Can't wait!
One Eyed Jacks, Gunpowder Tim vs The Moon Kaiser, Lucky Sevens, and Lost in the Cosmos are some of their origin stories, yea!
*Quest Started: Ain't That A Kick In The Head*
Sounds like some Borderlands tyoe shit
The thumb down is One-Eyed Jack
Is he secretly playing all of the instruments too and not just the harmonica?
And when, at last, my father fell
_(Well mother, tell your children)_
With a bullet through his spine
_(Not to do what I have done)_
The hand that had held onto that smoking gun
_(Spend your life in sin and misery)_
And pulled the trigger was mine
_(In the House of the Rising Sun)_
And as he lay there, dying on the floor
_(There is a house in New Orleans)_
He whispered 'I forgive you, son'
_(They call the Rising Sun)_
There ain't no other way that our story could end
_(And its been the ruin of many a poor boy)_
No other way our race could have run.
_(And God, I know I'm one.)_
_Well, I got one foot on the platform_
_The other foot on the train_
_I'm going back to New Orleans_
_To wear that ball and chain._
ITS TO THE TEMPO OF TALES TO BE TOLD NEAR THE END
gonna tell my kids that that's the house of a rising sun
Woah I thought this sounded like House of the Rising Sun and then I checked the description and I was right
*Spider man meme*
Ahhhh for this to come on shuffle on Father's Day lol
hhhhggghghghgggg im screaming crying frothing at the mouth this is so good
I spent the first half trying to figure out which song this is and why I know it (this is my first mechs listen) then I realised (I've seen people use that part as an audio for cosplays)
Yep, that bit
FUCK this song is so good
The last verse kinda sounds like "the animals came in two by two"....
because that's also based on "when johnny comes marching home" :D (and also: "the ants go marching")
@@TheVoidSings ah, that will be why, thanks
@@TheVoidSings I only knew the ants version and I was here like "what the hell does that have to do with anything"
Took me a minute to recognize that tune
someone needs to take away jonnys gun
I thought they were playing poker (which idk a little about) but idk what suicide king is?? Is that something they made up or is it actually something?
I believe they’re playing a variation on poker, and the suicide king is the king of hearts! It’s called the suicide king because it looks like the king on the art is putting his sword through his own head
@@cabbagiez3018 Oh that's cool, thanks!
They’re specifically playing Texas Hold ‘em, and the suicide king is the King of Hearts
isn't lil lemon also supposed to be in this album? or somewhere else? I can't find it anywhere :(

Bro when we getting this on spotify 👉👈
it... already is? it has been on spotify for a while now?
I'm actually loosing my mind here. In the last part is it the poker tables, cus I can only hear the pool tables?
