No one can do him accurate. . Example,, Fake plastic trees.. who the fk can sing fake plastic trees with the passion and gut wrenching purity that he performs.. it's unmatched.. it is slightly funny.. But to me it's not even a dull, depiction. I get the joke. I just...... U know what I mean probably. . lol

    • @Naitsirk808
      @Naitsirk808 10 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Not sure about that to be honest. I was hoping to here the Wagner Tristan chord from 'Tristan and Isolde' referenced here, as musically quoted in Paul Lanskey's 'mild und leise' (1973 recording) along with a 6/4 measure like the Radiohead song 'Idiotech' ... instead we have a piss take of Thom Yorke. I guess I did a little too much research, right?

    • @reynoldadamson9892
      @reynoldadamson9892 10 ปีที่แล้ว +45

      Kristian Sharpe Yes, that research is a bit excessive for a casual parody of Idioteque. But I'd say this parody applies to other Radiohead songs, such as 15 Step, In Limbo, and some tracks from Amnesiac. Of course, if he had sampled Paul Lanksey's track just as Radiohead did it, it would be considered a cover, as well as 6/4 as well.

      Stephen Blake He wasn't trying to be mocking either. Actually, he wasn't "trying" anything... He was just DOING. THAT's part of what makes Reggie Watts so great : SPONTANEITY. I don't think there's any "intentions" per se in his stage performances. Who cares for intentions when it comes to a Reggie Watts performance anyway ? He just does his thing with the abilities and references he has in him at the moment he does it. If he wants to sing like Thom Yorke, that's just how it comes out, I don't think there's any filter whatsoever or questions like "will people think that I'm being derisive ?" He just does his thing. End of the story. If it makes us laugh, fine, if it doesn't, fine too. I just believe in the benevolent nature of this guy... I don't think anything really nasty or mocking can come out of a Reggie Watts performance.

      See, that's the thing. I don't think he's trying to sully them by ANY means. To do a parody of something (well) takes knowing the material inside and out. It's not like he popped on a radiohead album and started mocking it. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a genuine fan!
