Every Easter they sing “Christ the lord is risen today” in church and without fail my brother and I will always drop our voices a few octaves and pay tribute to our true lord and savior, John daker.
He said his name as a gentle reminder to the pianist that he was, in fact, there. He had taken the gig reluctantly, as he was well aware of Reva's reputation for playing everything in compounded uptempo. The longer she played, the faster she got, until the crucial 180bpm at which point she would drop the bass and then it was every man for himself.
Rest In Peace, John Daker. You may have forgotten your name for a second there, but we’ll remember you for as long as the moon hits our eyes like big pizza pies.
😂 for sure. Although I will say Reva was fucking with people trying to sing for over 55 years in that town with her speeding the tempo up and every person for themself mentality.

Imagine how many stories this church must have of this well-meaning, talented, yet utterly deranged old woman, ruining their performances with her sudden decisions to play at top speed. She's too skilled and too ensconced in the community to be replaced, too polite to be confronted, yet she has this maddening habit of deciding to herself that time is running out, and if she can slam down on the accelerator, surely everyone else in the congregation can too, right? John Daker is the hero and the victim in this clip, fighting to get the words out at a pace that'll make good TV, struggling against this villain at the keys - 55 years teaching in this town, 55 years of taking the music into her own hands, 55 years and three generations growing up, every last one of them dreading the moment they approach the microphone. How will they fare this time? Will they be mercifully spared embarrassment, or will they be immortalized on the internet for decades to come? Only the Lord knows, after all.
I once attended a cemetery decoration day where "When the Role is Called Up Yonder' was played like a polka. The singers finished two minutes after the organist.🤣
Y'know how much I love this video? At my wedding reception I had the DJ play Christ the Lord is Risen Today followed by Amore. People were very confused about why the first song was playing, then when Amore came on, slightly fewer people were confused.

My Name is John Daker - BEST VERSION w/ SUBTITLES 2115pm 16.5.22 the worst off the cuff singer this side of the blue ridge...no karaoke for this dude. i can envisage him singing his skit as he puts out the garbage of a night.... his wife laughing in the distance.
As funny as the subtitles are, I feel like his facial expressions are underappreciated. Especially the part after "whep", his eyebrow raise at "you're in love" and "Napoli", and how confident and serious he tried to look at "nnnsome more aye"
As a piano teacher the fault lies with the teacher. Not listening to her singer is her biggest problem. Next the tempo was too fast...was there a fire in the building?🔥Accompaniment is an art in itself.
This is the absolute funniest video on the entire internet. I've watched it dozens of times over the years and every time it has me in tears from laughing so hard. Your captions are hilarious! Thank you!
Barba Ro Oh, God, I had to stop it. I spat my false teeth out while laughing. It comes as shock to be in the presence of such awesome talent. I couldn't have done better without years of training.
My condolences to the friends and family of Mr. Daker. I truly hope that he knew that his cult-following (us!), were not laughing at him in a mean-spirited way. I know I speak for all of us when I say this video made our day! It's just terrific! May John Daker rest in love.
This makes me laugh so hard my stomach hurts. I love how she says that 'Christ The Lord is Risen Today' is 'very popular nowadays.' I hear it at every rave I attend.
ELBSeattle she was probably being referential to the church community. A lot of sects of churches tend to have their own kinds of societal circles and cultures.
Y’know, upon closer inspection she never said they were singing That’s Amore by Harry Warren. She said ‘annis gonna do ammorah too’. After some dissection it seems to be a free improvisation based on the above mentioned piece.
RIP Mr. Daker The next time I whep, I will think of you. I will never listen to Christ the Lord is Risen Today in any other way except your way. It's even more popular nowadays because of you. May God welcome you with triumphs foiiiii!!!!! The bells are ringing!!! Tingalingaling!
+Caleb Stinson And he said it as if he was known world wide. "My name is John Daker" all cocky and whatnot, didn't even remember 2 lines of the songs..
It is my sincere belief that Reva never forgave him for that initial interruption, and made out like the damn Juggernaut through the rest of the performance.
That woman hit double-time even before she went into attack mode on the piano and poor Mr. Daker got left in her dust as she continually accelerated the BPMs to a blistering 180 before he had time to recall who he was and how he got here.
Amazing that this stupid video/song keeps jumping back into my head years later. My wife and I still crack each other up just quoting a word or two, “Whep...” that alone gets us laughing. Well done Mr. Decker!
notsoseriousmoonlight I completely understand...I sing and cantor at a church, and we sing it every year for the vigil and Sunday morning mass. I fight through it (it's actually a lovely hymn, but I can't unthink John Daker), and cannot make eye contact with my family sitting in the congregation.
I kinda think her playing was the cause of the train wreck behind her... seems more like she was too busy showing off her piano skills to take into consideration that it was making it really freaking hard for the poor guy to sing the song.

Trust me, it's too big a price to pay.
AMEN
My Name is John Daker - BEST VERSION w/ SUBTITLES 2115pm 16.5.22 the worst off the cuff singer this side of the blue ridge...no karaoke for this dude. i can envisage him singing his skit as he puts out the garbage of a night.... his wife laughing in the distance.
55 years of teaching and she's never taken a rest...
She just skips over them in the sheet music apparently 😅
Wow I don't think I've ever seen someone watch their soul leave their body as viciously as this.
I love at 0:34 shes like, angry "and he's gonna do Amore too, OKAY???" Like "okay??? You understand??? You got a problem with that?" Lol!
*Uhmooruh
“It’s a medley, bitches!”
i think she just is forcing him on the spot to sing that's amourughh
Amora
@@mike2652 yes, sorry lol!
As funny as the subtitles are, I feel like his facial expressions are underappreciated. Especially the part after "whep", his eyebrow raise at "you're in love" and "Napoli", and how confident and serious he tried to look at "nnnsome more aye"
It’s the little mouth movements after “whep” that do it for me.
@@hiphopdood He looks like a stranded fish
Rest in peace, patron saint of church music. I expect your wheps will fill the halls of heaven to eternity.
Well, it's Easter and I'm here again for my yearly dose of John Daker.
Took TH-cam 9 years to bring this to me. My sides literally hurt from laughing. 😂🤣
I’m just seeing it now. Until this moment, my life was hollow and meaningless.
Whenever my religious faith starts to waver I watch this to get inspiration from these true disciples of Christ.
As a piano teacher the fault lies with the teacher. Not listening to her singer is her biggest problem. Next the tempo was too fast...was there a fire in the building?🔥Accompaniment is an art in itself.
No one puts John Daker in the corner. And now we know why!
Chuck Norris has met his match in John Daker. One eyebrow shuffle, and Chuck is done.
True. And there was pretty inconsistent tempo happening as well.
@@SummerSteele1473 It was consistent but too fast. Both songs are meant to be played slowly. Eminem couldn't keep up with her, either.
when the dna test says the baby is yours, that's a-maury
that was perfect
whep
When you see the backup center on the Miami Heat who used to be on Phoenix that's Amore
*spit take* That was beautiful!
WHEP IT KILLS ME XD LOL
This is the absolute funniest video on the entire internet. I've watched it dozens of times over the years and every time it has me in tears from laughing so hard. Your captions are hilarious! Thank you!
I've seen this before but that's the hardest I've laughed in years. My abdomen hurts. Tears wet my face. This is the best. "Whep!" kills me.
***** Wish I could make a shirt: "Whep? does it every time."
Barba Ro Aloopa Scrum Screeee is my favorite part. I couldn't breathe.
Yep! It was the "Whep"! That's what sent me outta my chair and to the floor laughing.
Barba Ro Oh, God, I had to stop it. I spat my false teeth out while laughing. It comes as shock to be in the presence of such awesome talent. I couldn't have done better without years of training.
Barba Ro The WHEP was too much for me too-I completely lost it.
Of all the TH-cam videos I have ever seen, this is one of them.
Sounds like John Daker needs a software update
Underrated comment 🤣🤣
“Whep?” That killed me🤦🏾♀️😂
this is public broadcasting in a nutshell but it also feels freakishly surreal
At least he looked satisfied with that last Alleluia. A little vibrato, pursed lips on the cut off. Nailed it.
My condolences to the friends and family of Mr. Daker. I truly hope that he knew that his cult-following (us!), were not laughing at him in a mean-spirited way. I know I speak for all of us when I say this video made our day! It's just terrific! May John Daker rest in love.
That look at the end is like: “I think I might have got away with that...” 😂
😂🤣👍
Westley Nash bingo
I was already laughing but this comment murdered me.
"I think I nailed the you're in love part."
This makes me laugh so hard my stomach hurts. I love how she says that 'Christ The Lord is Risen Today' is 'very popular nowadays.' I hear it at every rave I attend.
ELBSeattle she was probably being referential to the church community. A lot of sects of churches tend to have their own kinds of societal circles and cultures.
xDDD
I just spent 20 minutes crying from laughing so hard at this video. It made my day.
If you're a church musician and make this regular Easter listening hats off to you. RIP John Daker the Legend
I'm going to start inserting, "bwaag" at random times in sentences.
I do it all BWAAG the time.
It works for Kimi Raikkonen.
Slow&Low whep
Scrum scree.
I need to start using whep
Y’know, upon closer inspection she never said they were singing That’s Amore by Harry Warren. She said ‘annis gonna do ammorah too’. After some dissection it seems to be a free improvisation based on the above mentioned piece.
I've cried a lot of sad tears lately. This video & comments brought the first happy tears in a long time. Scrum scree, Reva & John!
RIP Mr. Daker The next time I whep, I will think of you. I will never listen to Christ the Lord is Risen Today in any other way except your way. It's even more popular nowadays because of you. May God welcome you with triumphs foiiiii!!!!! The bells are ringing!!! Tingalingaling!
whep
i love how he interrupts the music to say my name is john daker
+Caleb Stinson And he said it as if he was known world wide. "My name is John Daker" all cocky and whatnot, didn't even remember 2 lines of the songs..
+THEPELADOMASTER more like all of the lines except for the first
Caleb Stinson I don't think he even knew where he was.
THEPELADOMASTER Probably lol
It is my sincere belief that Reva never forgave him for that initial interruption, and made out like the damn Juggernaut through the rest of the performance.
this is like one of those nightmares where you're supposed to sing on stage but you have forgotten all the lyrics!
and the music keeps speeding up in a surreal whirl.
At least he's got his pants on.
@Jabroney I posted my comment before I read yours lol.
Or just how I sing in my nightmares
Not sure which one of us is dreaming, him or me.
THIS is the content I look for from TH-cam.
That woman hit double-time even before she went into attack mode on the piano and poor Mr. Daker got left in her dust as she continually accelerated the BPMs to a blistering 180 before he had time to recall who he was and how he got here.
Not enough people realize the lady is rushing, which is why John is having trouble getting the lines out
I think she speeds up because she realizes he doesn't know the lines.
I believe that sweet old lady is hammered
Oh I definitely hear it. She is just jamming to her own timing and ignoring him.
You mean like the way she talks?
Nah, she's just doing jazz
He's my sleep paralysis demon.
Some guys get all the luck
Lol
Beautiful.
Garrett. WHY U NO MAKE PART 2 OF HOW TO MAKE FNAF 2 NOT SCARY
HipsterDuck shut the fuck up, people like you are why youtube is filled with garbage
its a joke m8
SkrubMaster
it really isnt
Aye Garrett wassup?
I see nothing wrong with this performance. Absolute perfection. Thank you, Mr. Daker.
The way his face lights up when he manages to remember his very last line.
Amazing that this stupid video/song keeps jumping back into my head years later. My wife and I still crack each other up just quoting a word or two, “Whep...” that alone gets us laughing. Well done Mr. Decker!
scrumscreeee- ~hmmmmm~
**DAKER
I realize I am WAY behind the times, but I'm just now finding about Mr. John Daker. I am addicted. This is the best thing I've seen in a long time.
Same! John Daker and his fine performance are so popular in my household nowdaze!
I burst out laughing and my husband looked at me and I said "I'm watching John Daker again" and he said "I completely understand"
The church I attended yesterday sang this during Easter service. Could not keep a straight face! :D
notsoseriousmoonlight
It’s such a great hymn. Too bad it was put thru this! 🙃
It’s a classic Easter hymn. My church sings it every year.
notsoseriousmoonlight I completely understand...I sing and cantor at a church, and we sing it every year for the vigil and Sunday morning mass. I fight through it (it's actually a lovely hymn, but I can't unthink John Daker), and cannot make eye contact with my family sitting in the congregation.
Mad props to Reva for continuing to play that piano, totally unphased by the train wreck taking place behind her.
EXACTLY. You are the amaaing Kreskin and read my mind
@@Madamoizillion Underrated comment.
I kinda think her playing was the cause of the train wreck behind her... seems more like she was too busy showing off her piano skills to take into consideration that it was making it really freaking hard for the poor guy to sing the song.
1:27 "Bells will ring, ting-a-la-ling" "Tingawlinnnng as a bell"
Bing
mawrayyyee.
LMAO!
Omg the little bing kills me
@@mochs62512 SAME. I always click back 10 seconds to see it twice 😂
@@ryaneknowles me too! I cant stop replaying it!
So poetic
What amazes me is that he'd had no rehearsals yet his delivery of Amore was word perfect. And only one take.
