I personally love how the DJ is just so personally invested in helping this poor 3-dimensional fella enjoy their music. Come on, my dimensionally-challenged friend, hit the dance floor!
I actually thought about this a bit when I first saw the song and I think he might be doing that for everybody, considering the dancefloor is everywhere in time. He could just be reassuring all his dimensionally challenged friends at a static point in time, which is arguably cooler
Yeah, especially since the DJ specifically brought in the version who was shit-scared to hit the dance floor, cha cha cha, etc. He was helpin the guy get more confident like his identical-yet-dancier self!
When I counted after watching the first time, I got 24 seconds. Not _quite_ sure I'd describe that as almost thirty instead of more than twenty, but still insanely impressive.
@@Insaneian I actually found out about "Draclias" through this comment thread because I didn't see the notification... But I made sure to watch this reaction first!
This is not a typical Tom Cardy song, this is THE Tom Cardy song. I have listened to it on loop for the last few days and it has quickly become my new favourite one of his songs (which is no small feat.) Part of that, and a large part at that, is the animated music video. Not only can Shoocharu capture the chaos on a non-euclidean, interdimensional, pan-temporal rave. Plus the design for the DJ (who I've taken to calling Finn, short for Infinity, the Multi-Dimensional Master of the Arts or MDMA for short) is nothing short of inspired. My favourite moment, and one I feel a little bad you didn't expand on in your commentary here, is the moment where he sings "Don't let it twist up your insides" and then holds the note as the backing vocals go through a whole slew of songs that this song has sounded like and how this is the first time it's become a Cha Cha. Holding that note for so long with the accompanying animation is literally... Transcendental.
neutron stars do not turn into black holes, they are something that a heavily massive star can turn into alongside blackholes. neutron stars are incredibly small, but that also means that they are immensely dense and have massive gravitational pulls. i imagine a neutron star would absolutely devour caviar.
The other alternative reading of the line is that you should consume caviar like you would consume a neutron star. I have even less of an idea as to how one would even attempt this.
Everything that popped up before the baseball bat: 1. Yellow swirly thingy 2. 3 coffee cups with mustaches stacked up on each other 3. Cool worm guy with a hat 4. An American football 5.

The first listen is overwhelming/overstimulating, but keep listening and you'll get the hang of it! But then, you might get addicted and have to at least listen to it once a day 😬. I'm thinking that it is a larger message to be less hesitant to take leaps or even dance because your existence is but a small speck in the whole infinity of the universe. It brings a slight comfort to being a little shy or having social anxiety. Love shoocharu's imagery of all these characters and bringing the words into amazing visuals! Tom is also a crazy genius as we all know (new tune just dropped yesterday and it's silly but the beat is 🔥)
The way to solve the crunchyness issue is to record two audio tracks with VBR (variable bitrate) set to youtube's reccomended and kiss the audio problems goodbye
@@Insaneian hope it helps! Depends on what you record with there should be export options for multi track export (simmilar on how in OBS you have a desktop audio and microphone audio seperate ^^) Simply head to your advanced output settings and tick boxes 1 - 6 to record 6 separate tracks. You wont see it on the output file, only once you open it in an editing software like premiere
beacause your the only reaction channel I watch, I was waiting for this one. I do also hope that this gets a instrumental release, probably not but the tune seems really interesting alongside the immensely layerd lyric ofcourse. Its like a cha cha wearing 20 tearaway pants made out of lyric over one another. And Tom really did make up for being silent for some time with this one.
When I first heard this song, I just felt...meh about it, but then I heard it again, and it was like something _clicked_ because I. Fucking. Loved it. And it's been stuck in my head since.
"He did a song for Helluva Boss I think" Yup! Juggling Iz Cool from Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special. I love how he sounds like Creature Feature at one point (the pie gag part)
I love the ending; I like self-references. "The void consumes all realities, which till now includes 7 billion belinis." and then the song that transcends time and space ends by being consumed by the void, that dances to the song itself.
oh, of COURSE shoocharu was the one to animate this, they have such a unique and, flatteringly as possible, grody style i cant believe i didnt realize that till you said it
I gotta say thank you so much doing your reaction and break down. It’s nice to actually hear person feedback and things that I have missed as well. The song is great but to articulate song into words of how great is wonderful. Also nice dance moves you should dance in more videos.
please help me its in my head, i have gazed into infinity and the truth of cha cha hasnt left my head since, the forbidden dance knowledge has burdened my mind with cosmic horror and rhythm
Also "you can only make rhymes like that in comedy songs" idk man, if youre open to watching a non-comedy song, might i suggest The Dear Hunter's lyric video for The Revival? Whether you film it or not, its an incredible song that happens to rhyme Troglodyte with Socialite. Its also an absolute banger of a song and their lyric video for it is incredible. Just a genuine music recommendation that doesnt have to be filmed, but if you do listen to it/watch the lyric video (i encourage the lyric video to anyone hearing it for the first time), please let me know how you enjoy it!
5:50 this is actually a reference to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe. The 42 at the end actually means ‘anything and everything’ which fits perfectly with the song
Tom Cardy references Everything Everywhere All At Once in the video description, and yeah, there's no doubt, this has got EEAAO inspiration all over it. I mean, that one movie basically took to school everybody else who even wanted to approach multiverse-based stories. P.S. If you haven't seen it, it's a must-watch.
Not gonna lie, this song has been a play-8-times song every time it comes up on my playlist at work. I may or may not have played THIS SONG ONLY for like an hour straight to get me through that last hour this week...
So glad Tom Cardy is back and love your reaction as always! I know it's a bit different but would you ever react to improv comedy music from Dropout TV like the Official Cast Recording?
@@rachaelmason692 i *love* Dropout and the "karaoke" episodes of Game Changer and Make Some Noise...but Original Cast Recording hits me in my cringe meter...if they released a song by itself in a video maybe, but doing a whole episode probably wouldn't be plausible since it's a streaming exclusive and they likely would claim it.
The way you mention how Tom Cardy would rhyme his speaking words as they're part of the lyrics, it made me think of Opera style music where they would sing conversations that don't rhyme. It's the opposite ends of the spectrum.
Yay! I was waiting when you would react to Tom Cardy, his song is so great. I already listened almost a full week and still not tired of it. Apart from the amazing music, the animation and style fits so well and is quite funny too!

Okay talking about the past, can we say there is no past and there is only the present, since the past is over with. People might say something happened, but does having no past contradict it. There is only the present, right? The past is over.
I love tom cardy's general sound with the layered harmomies this song was such an ear worm for me! Makes me so happy to see others love it as much as i do
Oh, something you missed, is when the DJ guy was enumerating numbers, and then said "to the power of 42" I believe that to be a reference to "the answer to the question of life the universe and everything is 42"
It's a very different song for him IMO, to me it's not really funny the way his other ones are. But it's still an amazing song and I love it. Also you mentioned Douglas Adams, the number is raised to the power 42.
No need to apologise. As long as you can hear the song fine, I don't mind if the audio gets crunchy after editing. I've listened to the song multiple times, I'm here for your reaction.
Recommendation to react to Evil F&#@ing Wizard if you haven't already or are ok with a whole lot of swearing, its a supper silly song and the guy also made another song called wizard fist fight (you can see a theme) i love both equally. I love your content and am glad that youre reacting to this song because this one has basically consumed my life since it came out lol
I remember Tom Cardy rplying to a comment, confirming the goal was to help lessen Cosmic Dread, if I'm not mistaken. Personally, I think he succeeded, both in making the infinite cosmos maybe not seem so bad, and also making a banger song
Second comment at the end since I finished the video. Yeah your style is something I do that frustrates my wife. I appreciate pausing so we have time to laugh and discuss but she can't stand the stopping of the show. Anyway I can't stop listening to this song, it showed me you and you showed me a whole new world of comedy music so thank you.
I think the neutron star line is meant like one would mention a famous movie superstar, but this one is a galaxy. It hit me last night and made the line 12× better
In 15:18 , the mysterious figure on the far left with the flute is very similar to a drawing that Squidward made of himself in SpongeBob SquarePants. Just a funny detail I found while watching.
This song is a lot in all the best ways. Have you ever thought about reacting to comedy metal bands like Nanowar of Steel? Sober, Pasadena 1994, Ironmonger, Stormwarrior of the Storm, etc etc they've built a bit of a catalog.
I haven't watched to the end so you might cover this, but at the beginning the 'hill' singing "Gravity" has the moustache that the fandom draws for Arin; the executioner is Ninja Brian, and the guy with the flowing hair near the end I'm *guessing* might be Dan (but I very well might be wrong)
The video was very on topic to the specific brand of cosmological sci fi I love. Stuff like SCP, Control, Twin peaks, and even stuff like Hazbin Hotel etc. Loved it.
So the line about "this is the only time in existence that we ever know so far that the song has sounded anything like a cha cha" it's a joke on infinity again. Like the billion monkeys with typewriter thing or like the numbers of pi, they're playing an infinite irrational song that will eventually have sounded like every song in the multiverse, and they're celebrating that this is the only time in existence so far that the song has turned into a cha cha song.
delightedly waiting for your reaction to this; honestly I would be equally delighted by a *second*-watch reaction, lol, given the way I've played the video and Spotify track on nearly-endless repeat all week... (side note: you might be able to get him his [first?] Logan Award if you can manage to get Jack Black and Kyle Gass to bring it to Australia, I'm just sayin'...)
@@DexSinistral-i4z he won a Logan Award for HYCYBH which i was able to send to him and he received, but his second Logan he won last year for the music video for Red Flags he has yet to respond to me about. I could maybe send it to the same address as before, but if he's not there anymore I don't want it to be lost.
@@Insaneian Given the video he just posted, it looks like you'd *probably* be good, lol -- but I can definitely understand the caution! (Like the caution I'm expecting from you this next Friday in *not* reacting to it... until the week after... in case he goes and releases a third video the day of the album release itself... so you aren't doing three weeks in a row of Tom Cardy videos and nothing else! 🤣)
you have a point there. this song does sound like something that would play to introduce a new character. and damn does it fit well. it introduces the transcendental DJ. its just sooooo epic
@@shradibop I'm hoping I'll be able to get to them soon, but I'm still recovering from surgery. Fingers crossed I can get back to videos sooner than later.
12:01, personally I think the crunchyness is a good thing, it encourages people to seek out the actual video and give it more views. I am relistening to Transcendental Cha Cha Cha as I type.
If you've never seen it, I highly recommend Johnathan Young's Best Band in the Universe (and other songs from the album) It's got everything, a great chorus, catchy guitar bits, an NSP cameo, and excessive cursing

It absolutely does not need to be anything beyond that one music video, though. I feel like doing anything else with it would just weaken it.

I personally love how the DJ is just so personally invested in helping this poor 3-dimensional fella enjoy their music. Come on, my dimensionally-challenged friend, hit the dance floor!
Dimensionally challenged is such a great thing to say to a human! That's actually perfect
I actually thought about this a bit when I first saw the song and I think he might be doing that for everybody, considering the dancefloor is everywhere in time. He could just be reassuring all his dimensionally challenged friends at a static point in time, which is arguably cooler
why does this comment give me deja vu
Cha cha cha!
Yeah, especially since the DJ specifically brought in the version who was shit-scared to hit the dance floor, cha cha cha, etc. He was helpin the guy get more confident like his identical-yet-dancier self!
Still love how the DJ hit him with “imagine a world where you aren’t a little bitch who isn’t too scared to hit the dance floor”

Someone edited an AMV for this with Space Dandy and it fits so well it feels like it was written for that show
i recommend "monster truck" by tom cardy, its great and i havent seen anyone else react to it
Sadly I already saw it before I started reacting to his stuff. Sorry!
It's a very different song for him IMO, to me it's not really funny the way his other ones are. But it's still an amazing song and I love it. Also you mentioned Douglas Adams, the number is raised to the power 42.
@@xAjido oh yeah! I noticed that but forgot to comment on it. Thanks!
This review had me laughing and cackling like a crazy person. Loved every second of it.
I almost enjoy TC's songs more when you wheeze-laugh over them. Just makes my day!
No need to apologise. As long as you can hear the song fine, I don't mind if the audio gets crunchy after editing. I've listened to the song multiple times, I'm here for your reaction.
Recommendation to react to Evil F&#@ing Wizard if you haven't already or are ok with a whole lot of swearing, its a supper silly song and the guy also made another song called wizard fist fight (you can see a theme) i love both equally.
I love your content and am glad that youre reacting to this song because this one has basically consumed my life since it came out lol
I remember Tom Cardy rplying to a comment, confirming the goal was to help lessen Cosmic Dread, if I'm not mistaken. Personally, I think he succeeded, both in making the infinite cosmos maybe not seem so bad, and also making a banger song
Second comment at the end since I finished the video. Yeah your style is something I do that frustrates my wife. I appreciate pausing so we have time to laugh and discuss but she can't stand the stopping of the show. Anyway I can't stop listening to this song, it showed me you and you showed me a whole new world of comedy music so thank you.
I think the neutron star line is meant like one would mention a famous movie superstar, but this one is a galaxy. It hit me last night and made the line 12× better
I feel like that "to the power of 42" was a subtle Douglas Adams nod
It may sound crunchy, but I’ve had the song on loop so much lately, I know the vibe
as a person with adhd, i can only witness so many details
In 15:18 , the mysterious figure on the far left with the flute is very similar to a drawing that Squidward made of himself in SpongeBob SquarePants. Just a funny detail I found while watching.
This song is a lot in all the best ways.
Have you ever thought about reacting to comedy metal bands like Nanowar of Steel? Sober, Pasadena 1994, Ironmonger, Stormwarrior of the Storm, etc etc they've built a bit of a catalog.
@@johnnychopsocky of those I've only heard of Nanowar of Steel, but I'd definitely be interested in checking them out! Thanks!
@@Insaneian Ah, those are all Nanowar of Steel song titles. Sorry for any confusion I might've caused.
@@johnnychopsocky ha, no worries!
I haven't watched to the end so you might cover this, but at the beginning the 'hill' singing "Gravity" has the moustache that the fandom draws for Arin; the executioner is Ninja Brian, and the guy with the flowing hair near the end I'm *guessing* might be Dan (but I very well might be wrong)
It makes sense that TCCC feels like H.S, since they're on the same album
The video was very on topic to the specific brand of cosmological sci fi I love. Stuff like SCP, Control, Twin peaks, and even stuff like Hazbin Hotel etc.
Loved it.
So the line about "this is the only time in existence that we ever know so far that the song has sounded anything like a cha cha" it's a joke on infinity again. Like the billion monkeys with typewriter thing or like the numbers of pi, they're playing an infinite irrational song that will eventually have sounded like every song in the multiverse, and they're celebrating that this is the only time in existence so far that the song has turned into a cha cha song.
Wow the weird all shout out is dope af
@@DeltaChimp thanks! Him saying "Achievement Unlocked" is a reference to one of my songs!
This video is how long the song feels like it is.
8:32 Caught me off guard so badly I had to pause my game simply to process it.
go go go insane ian
I fucking *died* when you said “Forgot to pay my mouth bill.” I’m gonna have to steal that one for personal use.
@@TheJodake go ahead, I did! 😅 (comedian Matt Braunger used it first)
Im gonna take a shot every time you say comedy
@@MakMathis i will not be responsible for giving you alcohol poisoning.
delightedly waiting for your reaction to this; honestly I would be equally delighted by a *second*-watch reaction, lol, given the way I've played the video and Spotify track on nearly-endless repeat all week...
(side note: you might be able to get him his [first?] Logan Award if you can manage to get Jack Black and Kyle Gass to bring it to Australia, I'm just sayin'...)
@@DexSinistral-i4z he won a Logan Award for HYCYBH which i was able to send to him and he received, but his second Logan he won last year for the music video for Red Flags he has yet to respond to me about.
I could maybe send it to the same address as before, but if he's not there anymore I don't want it to be lost.
@@Insaneian Given the video he just posted, it looks like you'd *probably* be good, lol -- but I can definitely understand the caution! (Like the caution I'm expecting from you this next Friday in *not* reacting to it... until the week after... in case he goes and releases a third video the day of the album release itself... so you aren't doing three weeks in a row of Tom Cardy videos and nothing else! 🤣)
This song reminds me a lot of Tally Hall
I watched this before alone like four times
you have a point there. this song does sound like something that would play to introduce a new character. and damn does it fit well. it introduces the transcendental DJ. its just sooooo epic
I think Tom Carey sang for He'll of a Boss. I think it was during a montage of the competition between Fizz and the twins.
Tom Cardy just released an animated music video for H.S!
@@spoodermanseviltwin2685 a week ago, yeah! He also released a new video TODAY.
HE RELEASED THREE VIDEOS SINCE I REACTED TO THIS ONE! 😅
for crunchy music, you could listen to the video with headphones/earphones and then at editing add the sound separately for us to hear
@@aine9072 the crunchy music comes from the screen recording, not from my camera. Even if I used headphones, it would still be crunchy, unfortunately.
hope to see your reactions to the new music videos! unless you've already seen them, in which i'd still watch your analysis
@@shradibop I'm hoping I'll be able to get to them soon, but I'm still recovering from surgery. Fingers crossed I can get back to videos sooner than later.
@@Insaneian hey, take your time. your reactions are amid the few that are actually worth checking out on this site, i'm cool waiting!
@@shradibop thanks, i appreciate that, both the kind words as well as the patience. 😅
12:01, personally I think the crunchyness is a good thing, it encourages people to seek out the actual video and give it more views.
I am relistening to Transcendental Cha Cha Cha as I type.
Let's GOOOO
If you've never seen it, I highly recommend Johnathan Young's Best Band in the Universe (and other songs from the album)
It's got everything, a great chorus, catchy guitar bits, an NSP cameo, and excessive cursing
@@Magis_Ghast I've seen it! I even own the album on CD (I was a little disappointed it wasn't ALL comedy, but it's a great album nevertheless).
@@Insaneian excellent!! It's a great one. It's definitely a serious song, but I also love Land of the Living by him
I am getting a, Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe," vibe.
@@anythingyoucando1546 that's what I said! (I actually said it's "Douglas Adams-coded"...Douglas Adams wrote Hitchhiker's Guide)
@Insaneian I forgot who the author was, but I did remember the book! I look forward to more videos. Take care!
On my way to get my "space-time gravity champagne reality" tattoo. Who's coming with me?
