By the time you get to the 20th inner Neil it's just an infinite mass of clocks, eyes, and floating rings of sulfur. Despite being infinite, none of the clocks are ticking at the same speed, none of the eyes are looking in the same direction, and none of the sulfur rings are the same size.

i imagine 200 yrs from now, they'll try to reconstruct Smooth by Santana ft. Rob Thomas based on various corrupted ancient computer files and the end result will sound similar to this
I like the way half of the songs on this album start with smash mouth right out of the gate, and the rest of them hold it off until like 3 minutes in. Some real variation there.
It sounds the way sensitive teeth feel. Edit: The worst part? I listened to this so many times that it's actually a bop now. Even the All Star part. I kind of hate myself.
That's most of the Mouth albums for you. If you don't like a song on the first listen, you'll eventually come to enjoy it on the 50th re-listen. I hated this song for a while, now I love it -- definitely stockholm syndrome, but still, I enjoy it.
This is good despite being painful to hear, because it ends up more *emotional* than the original. It sounds *desperate*, like the singer is also in pain, forcing the lyrics through a digital acid bath spinning at thrice the speed of light. The world is tormented twisting through unknowable dimensions, every intake of breath tears at your lungs, and through that inferno rise Rob Thomas's words of devotion and agony. I imagine lots of songs would sound more powerful and meaningful than they actually do if they were set on the surface of the sun. Also Smash Mouth drops by to, like, poke at you with a pitchfork.
It's like subtle brain washing. After a certain point you're like "alright, maybe all star is getting a bit old..." and then you listen to THIS and the smash mouth comes back in and you're like "aah... yes, I love... Smash Mouth..."

Why does this even need to be stated? Are there fools out there only "ironically" enjoy this? It's an actual slapper, through and through. Mashups are still music people, and they fucking bang
sometimes I forget neil is an actual professional musician who has made numerous albums and has music on very popular TV shows bc I listen to this stuff more than I listen to any of his other stuff
Gravity Falls. The only song that actually made it in the show was Goat and a Pig, I think, but he also made two different versions of the title theme and a song for Bill Cipher called It's Gonna Get Weird.
Never have I ever believed that music can spontaneously kill you for the sake of comedy. That is, until Shrek crashed into my room almost three minutes in.
Sounds like an imitation of human music, instead of actually being music made by humans. An alien's interpretation. Also, this is surprisingly awesome. The sound effects and changes are really good and the voice, even though fucked up, is interesting to listen to.
This comment actually reminds me of a sci fi book where this is actually described. The third book in a Chinese book series known as "The Three Body Problem" series involves an oppressed alien civilization learning of human culture and falling in love with it. You're totally right that this IS exactly what I would expect the early versions of that to sound like.

At .75 speed, I get this mental image of this old robot/animatronic on the verge of breaking down from a melting hard drive. Sentient and desperate for a new lease on 'life', it warbles out a pained tune straight from its soul... only for some young punk-ass coming in, outright insulting Mr. Sad Robot-Man, and using some of his exposed wires to light a cheap cigarette and use him as a beer coaster, to which the robot continues to lament it's horrid existence, but has a bittersweet moment of still being "useful".
@@serket8oard Less undertale vibes, more a reference to the amalgamations in undertale and how this song is an amalgamation of various music, as well as melt being in the title.
i love the part at 3:56 so much it is just so good i can’t stop listening to it on repeat the mashup between the distressingly desperate vocals in smooth and the slow glockenspiel notes just match up perfectly for me
Every time I listen to a Neil Cicierga song I haven't heard before I say "Surely he can't use Satana's Smooth in a completely new and equally mind blowing way as the last time" and every time I am wrong.
After eliminating nearly all life on earth, a rotting android sits alone and sings the only song that's been stuck in its head for what feels like forever. Then, the last man on earth, Weird Al Yankovic, comes by and tries to cheer it up.
The bit where All Star plays, the way the audio is manipulated it sorta sounds like Spongebob's voice singing it. You know, the higher-pitched nasal character voiced by Tom Kenny? Know your memes, broh.
After a few times this just becomes normal. I imagine this is what stockholm syndrome feels like. I know that this should hurt my ears but I kinda dig it. Is there something wrong with me? I don't know. While writing this comment, I faintly remembered that All Star should appear somewhere in the song. I thought I was ready for it, but when it actually arrived, it still hit as hard as it would the first time.
This song is best experienced while slowly inserting a large pointed rusty metal pole into the side of your thigh, then slamming it in the rest of the way at 2:49
Imagine if one of these songs samples become lost media and the only proof it exists is a mashup album made by the same guy who made a song about truck intercourse.
Imagine if the producers of Shrek hadn't decided to use "All Star" for the opening sequence.
Smash mouth wouldn't be as popular to our generation

this makes the song sound like it's about a serial killer
It sounds like it was MADE BY a serial killer.
Jojos
@@connor48880 yeah, sorry, that's what i meant. like it's from the point of view of one
@@sleepCircle its autobiographical
unironically really love this. like this is in my top 5 favorites in all of the mouth albums
Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well, I hear you whispering and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove, yeah
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood, yeah
'Cause you're so smooth
Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it
Well, I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave, it'd be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out, yeah
Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you 'round and 'round
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood, yeah
'Cause you're so smooth
Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules, and I hit the ground runnin'
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold
Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it, yeah
Or else forget about it
Oh, or else forget about it
Oh, let's don't forget about it
Give me your heart, make it real
Oh, let's don't forget about it, yeah
Let's don't forget about it, yeah, oh no
Oh, let's don't forget about it, oh no, no
Oh, let's don't forget about it, yeah, oh no
Oh, let's don't forget about it
Yeah, yeah
In all seriousness, this is an absolute banger and my favorite track off the album.
Kahoot-type beat
This sounds like a robot having a hell of a mental breakdown and i unironically love it lmao
I like to believe that making the face Neil does on the album cover is what made the vocals sound distorted like this.
This is unironically a banger, holy shit.
At .75 speed, I get this mental image of this old robot/animatronic on the verge of breaking down from a melting hard drive. Sentient and desperate for a new lease on 'life', it warbles out a pained tune straight from its soul... only for some young punk-ass coming in, outright insulting Mr. Sad Robot-Man, and using some of his exposed wires to light a cheap cigarette and use him as a beer coaster, to which the robot continues to lament it's horrid existence, but has a bittersweet moment of still being "useful".
That's extremely morbid, wow.
(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Smooth flow sounds like how it should sound when it’s working
hits different when you’re desperately trying not to throw up
What I love about this song is that is sounds like it's being played on a half melted record
Thanks for the headache, I was having a good day and needed to be humbled
Man this hits different. A whole mood fr
Alright, who broke the Speak and Spell?
I did you fool, I now require appy juic
Buzz Lightyear slipped on some crayons on Andy's desk and landed on Mr. Spell. That's how he broke him...
Magnus Lindström, to be pedantic. I’m almost entirely certain he’s using Sonic Charge Bitspeek here
I did...
"Danmit Alphys! Dont spill determination on my music!"
-probably neil when this monstrosity of glory was created
guy that only plays undertale: getting real undertale vibes from this
@@serket8oard Less undertale vibes, more a reference to the amalgamations in undertale and how this song is an amalgamation of various music, as well as melt being in the title.

i love the part at 3:56 so much it is just so good i can’t stop listening to it on repeat
the mashup between the distressingly desperate vocals in smooth and the slow glockenspiel notes just match up perfectly for me
It's like someone took the soundtrack to my middle school years, and dissolved it in acetone on a windowsill...
at a certain point smash mouth all star begins feeling like an old friend who keeps breaking into your house to steal the food out of your fridge
Anyone else notice that Steve Harwell pitched up this much sounds exactly like the singer of the Phineas and Ferb theme song
Every time I listen to a Neil Cicierga song I haven't heard before I say "Surely he can't use Satana's Smooth in a completely new and equally mind blowing way as the last time" and every time I am wrong.
After eliminating nearly all life on earth, a rotting android sits alone and sings the only song that's been stuck in its head for what feels like forever. Then, the last man on earth, Weird Al Yankovic, comes by and tries to cheer it up.
It sounds like Spongebob singing All Star, there. Spooky.
The hell are you talking abou
The bit where All Star plays, the way the audio is manipulated it sorta sounds like Spongebob's voice singing it. You know, the higher-pitched nasal character voiced by Tom Kenny?
Know your memes, broh.
+Danklin D. Roosevelt oh geez you're right
omg you are right it sounds like spongebob singing kinda like in spongebob songs
piff why are you everywhere
the music when you get struck by lightning in mario kart: 2:11
i like to listen to this song when i need to get out of class. it induces headaches so i can leave without lying
ok i’m mad that i actually like this even though it sounds like shredding a chalkboard with a cheese grater
eewww shut up past me i didnt wanna imagine that
F L A T L I N E
I'm the bomb. I'm a bomb. I at least own some bombs.
Feels nice to not be alone on this.

Makes me feel in the mood for a little fruit salad...
After a few times this just becomes normal. I imagine this is what stockholm syndrome feels like. I know that this should hurt my ears but I kinda dig it. Is there something wrong with me? I don't know.
While writing this comment, I faintly remembered that All Star should appear somewhere in the song. I thought I was ready for it, but when it actually arrived, it still hit as hard as it would the first time.
This song is best experienced while slowly inserting a large pointed rusty metal pole into the side of your thigh, then slamming it in the rest of the way at 2:49
Hearing this for the first time in total pitch black is the scariest fucking thing thats ever happened to me
This makes my lungs feel like they're lined with vasoline
Holy shit you described it perfectly
This is it.
The definitive version of Smooth.
There can be no other versions.
This is the one and only
this feels like going to school when you’re sick to me and i can’t explain it
Nine Inch Neils
Imagine if one of these songs samples become lost media and the only proof it exists is a mashup album made by the same guy who made a song about truck intercourse.
I've always wondered if Whang! is aware of Neil
