I really hope there isn't any legal issues with either Dr. Seuss or Dr. Dre. IMO what Wes is doing will bring more/better attention to both the Drs. The ability to introduce both cultures to people who may never have encountered them for one reason or another should not be overlooked!
No new video for 2 weeks, and now that there is one, there's no Dre or Seuss. Pretty sure there's a legal issue. Maybe it's being negotiated since the old videos are still up.
The problem with youtubes copyright claims is that the claimant is ALWAYS right and you have to prove your right to use something.But not to TH-cam, you have to settle directly with the claimant and that goes straight into a civil legal suit if you go that route and you are still disagreeing. TH-cam sides with the claimants and the creators are almost all doomed little single person channels. Tried it myself. Spend weeks reasoning against a lawyer of a large international company, before they gave up as I had to get legal help to argue against them.
Its probably problems with Dr. Seuss Inc..... www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/star-trek-dr-seuss-mashup-deemed-a-fair-use-by-judge-1194166 They over-reach on trying to protect their IP.
Im still choked about 'Oh the thinks I can think ' being taken down. Was my favorite one, and it was only up for a few hours.... then 2 weeks later this comes out. Def legal issues and copyright problems.
I hope there is no copyright shenanigans going on. My 5 year old girl just insisted we watch 3 of these and now wants me to buy her Dr Suess books. You're the best advertisement both Doctors have at the moment.
There is no copyright shenanigans. Wes is using copyright material and making money from it. Theres no fair use in this case because hes using the whole book, reading(or rather singing) the book verbatim with music in the background. Hopefully Wes will reach a settlement and he can keep the videos up. They are entertaining,
@@hammerjoe2008 That's not how youtube works. Wes was never making money from these - the moment he put up the first one the music was copyright claimed and all ad revenue went to the record company. And the Seuss estate apparently only cares about litigating parody projects that actually make money, so they're probably not interested in this
Also Wes I just want to say, very awesome content, I'm glad you rose to the top with Fox n Socks and that you have taken off. Like the good old TH-cam era of fun creative content made by genuine people. Keep it up and realize your market my dude. This is basically lyrical story telling, keep it going.
I agree but Shel Silverstein kind of wraps his own stuff so well I don't know if you could top that but again we're talking about Wes here although that is just simple respect if I was him I wouldn't touch it
The bar is set high now when reading goodnight stories. My grandson tells I'm not doing it properly. Thanks Wes. Lol. On the flip side he is interested in books.
Yes! These are the best! You have to do Shel Silverstein! A friend and I would get out the guitar and rap our way through his works randomly. It was a ton of fun. I’d love to see what you could do with those.
Wes, I love this whole series and the goal of edutainment. Firstly, I wanted to say thanks being a creator. Second, I'd like to suggest "The Giving Tree" for this series.
Holy Moly! Goodnight moon! Wes, you are sooo on point. It's like you keep pulling all the book I loved as a kid out from under your cat n the hat hat which I also read to my kid repeatedly when he was a child. Priceless! Bravo!!
When I was a child I imagined I would be a children's books author and illustrator when I grew up. I am now grown up, and am not that, but I am a cartoonist and it's now my mission to write and illustrate a book for Wes to read.
My best friend passed away recently leaving a 3 year old and a newborn. She loved this book and read to her 3 year old son every night. This makes me so happy!! 😁 Her husband has been showing the 3 year old your Dr. Suess raps and he loves them!
I'm already in Love I've only been here a few minutes.... being a preschool teacher...love to sing rhyme and my nerdylizationalizoum way this is awesome!!!!!!!
Thank you for being a kind, genuine person. I have been delighted to discover your channel and the other videos that you have made. Cheers from Vancouver BC Canada. 🖐️🙂👍
Absolutely Wes! We'll still be here when you get back! If the things you need to sort out have to do with your channel exploding and figuring out where you want to take it next, that's more than understandable.
The saga continues. I've now broken my phone from clicking too fast, my computer and eventually excitedly throwing my remote control at my tv. I'm now receiving notifications on my pager, I'm three hours slow on this click because I had to go to my library to watch this. Oh no they are saying I'm laughing to loud and about to kick me outfjdjttoootrbdbsbnssjs wbndkiijmsksnnbeb
Enjoying your raps, Wes. Saw the copyright issues with "The Thinks," glad it's back online. I know you can't share, but I know there are others who do this - wonder why they don't have the same problem, unless they are the problem. Cheers!
I love this! I hope you get things sorted out. If you can, please do something with Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. Also, I think Neil Gaiman has given permission for anyone to read his work during this time. I recommend Blueberry Girl and Instructions both by Neil Gaiman.
I hate this book, so naturally my son insisted I read it at every single naptime and bedtime for months, and naturally my daughter now seems to be heading the same way. This song makes it much more bearable, so thanks.
You read these books like I do! 😂 My kids just listened to this one 5 times before bed tonight. Thanks @Wes! "Mr Brown Can Moo" and "There's a Woket in My Pocket" would both work _really_ well too.
If you’re taking requests, The Diggingest Dog would be perfect! We’ve been loving your videos! What a breath of fresh air lately. Thank you thank you thank you!
I didn’t read my young son 2 books per normal tonight. I read him one and had this video for the other while he read along with his own book. so much fun! I wonder how long it will take him to read along with one of your dr Seuss songs.
Loved the beat change! I always look forward to your next video! Thanks for integrating my current music tastes (hip-hop) into my childhood, you do an amazing job
Wess my man,you rock! keep up the good work ..my two favorite childhood stories for are where the wild things are and jungle book I can't see how you could fit such lengthy material in a video but you are a genius and maybe could figure that out if it's possible I would be thrilled to see that and pass it along to all my nieces and nephews God bless you and thank you for spreading the love man ✌️ Your new and enthusiastic fan, Russ
Hey Wes - I was a little aftraid you were treading on sacred territory with "Goodnight Moon" - after all, what Mom hasn't read this to their babies, but you did it justice. Lovely!
This was great!! If you get to pick up any more Dr. Seuss books, my 3rd graders would love to hear 'Hooray for Diffendoofer Day'! It's an awesome book that I always read to my kids the day before they take their EOGs (end of grade tests).
There was a book titled “Fast Food” that had a bunch of pictures of food that looked like vehicles in it. I remember I used to rap my way through that book every time I read it.
Wes please let us know if you're ever gonna be putting these on an album...I'd be picking it up for myself...I mean my kids definitely not myself that would be weird hahaha
I really hope there isn't any legal issues with either Dr. Seuss or Dr. Dre. IMO what Wes is doing will bring more/better attention to both the Drs. The ability to introduce both cultures to people who may never have encountered them for one reason or another should not be overlooked!

Nicholas Bezanson it’s transformative content so he should be fine

Wes continues to give us things we never knew we needed.

My kids love Wes. I hope he can reach out to the community if he needs help.

Time for some Shel Silverstein, Wes!
Oh yes PLEASE!
Mayte some Richard scary
This we know we need!
A Giraffe and a Half would be amazing!
I agree but Shel Silverstein kind of wraps his own stuff so well I don't know if you could top that but again we're talking about Wes here although that is just simple respect if I was him I wouldn't touch it
The Wes is the best. The Wes is the best.
The best is the Wes.
Very enjoyable and relaxing. I like the more melodic style. Reminds me of The Mighty Boosh. Thank you. Looking forward to hearing more.
The bar is set high now when reading goodnight stories. My grandson tells I'm not doing it properly. Thanks Wes. Lol.

Yes! These are the best! You have to do Shel Silverstein! A friend and I would get out the guitar and rap our way through his works randomly. It was a ton of fun. I’d love to see what you could do with those.
I love this! It has a David Bowie vibe....
Ooooo a story fort. We in Wes' crib now! 😆 love it!
Hi. I'm Wes. And tonight I'll be rapping "The Eldritch Horror" by H.P. Lovecraft.
Wes, I agree with everyone else. You’re doing a tremendous job and your talent shines through. Thank you from kids everywhere and of all ages.
Wes you are Brilliant. Thank you for these wonderful fun songs. My students and I love them every fun Friday’s. Keep up the wonderful work. 🙃😃
I love the story fort. Wes you always look so cold and bundled up, I keep wanting to send you more sweaters.
Wes, I love this whole series and the goal of edutainment. Firstly, I wanted to say thanks being a creator. Second, I'd like to suggest "The Giving Tree" for this series.
Giving tree is depressing. I don’t think it would translate well as a rap either.
I second the giving tree!!! But I also love Uncle Shelby's ABZ's...
Holy Moly! Goodnight moon! Wes, you are sooo on point. It's like you keep pulling all the book I loved as a kid out from under your cat n the hat hat which I also read to my kid repeatedly when he was a child. Priceless! Bravo!!
When I was a child I imagined I would be a children's books author and illustrator when I grew up. I am now grown up, and am not that, but I am a cartoonist and it's now my mission to write and illustrate a book for Wes to read.
Follow your dreams and keep me posted!
If either Dr. Dre or Dr. Seuss (or his estate) has turned litigious about this, they need to check their souls and do some cleaning.
I don't hit that notification bell very often. But when I do... it's for Wes Tank.
Wes,
I always smile when I see new videos from you and right now I need reasons to smile.
Thank you for what you do.
Please don't ever stop.
How brilliant you are! Thank you for these mega entertaining interpretations, Wes. I enjoy them as much or more than my grandchildren do.
This one's got quite the Leonard Cohen vibe.. keep 'em coming
My best friend passed away recently leaving a 3 year old and a newborn. She loved this book and read to her 3 year old son every night. This makes me so happy!! 😁 Her husband has been showing the 3 year old your Dr. Suess raps and he loves them!
My 2 year old is addicted to this. It's literally now a bedtime requirement ...every...single...night. and that's not a bad thing ♥️
Your story fort is amazing!!! This is one of my FAVES!!
I'm already in Love I've only been here a few minutes.... being a preschool teacher...love to sing rhyme and my nerdylizationalizoum way this is awesome!!!!!!!
My 4 year old gave this her highest praise, two thumbs up!
This is more an 80's ballad than a rap. I still love it.
These videos are the most wholesome thing on the Internet right now.
Thank you for being a kind, genuine person. I have been delighted to discover your channel and the other videos that you have made. Cheers from Vancouver BC Canada. 🖐️🙂👍
Absolutely Wes! We'll still be here when you get back! If the things you need to sort out have to do with your channel exploding and figuring out where you want to take it next, that's more than understandable.
awesome. very nice exploring of the potential of these texts and poems. Love your work
Please feel free to rap all of the children's books.
I am The Grass Man and I enjoyed this. Someday I hope my Grass will amount to the greatness of you
Bless you Grass Man, and may your grass reach legendary status
Wes, thanks for doing this. I love it and my kids love it. You are a treasure. Keep it up!
Man I love these videos! Highlight of my week when these drop! Keep up the great work!
HE CANT BE STOPPED, DR.SUESS IS IN THE PAST BABY
Wes Tank is obviously the best thing to happen to 2020

There is a thunderstorm going on outside and I was just on my way to bed. How fitting that I came across your goodnight video! Sweet dreams Wes! =)
My son loved this story when he was little. Thank you for this.
I always felt odd reading this book. Now I know what is wrong; I wasn't rapping! Oh Wes, you're a genius 😍
I’m so impressed by this calm rap. I’m going to watch it again at bedtime to lull myself into a wonderful state of sleepy time bliss. Yes!
Just read this to my 6 year old. He was snapping along and said, I love it!
I clapped at 4am. Thanks, Wes! I listen to you at work.
Wes is killn' the children's book's rappin' game!
Enjoying your raps, Wes. Saw the copyright issues with "The Thinks," glad it's back online. I know you can't share, but I know there are others who do this - wonder why they don't have the same problem, unless they are the problem. Cheers!
The others didn't get as popular perhaps? Once you get in the news, the front page of Reddit, and millions of views people start taking notice.
We've been loving these! Hope whatever it is gets sorted out okay.
I did this for my daughter when she was 2-3, with less skill of course, but I love this rendition so much man.
I love this! I hope you get things sorted out. If you can, please do something with Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. Also, I think Neil Gaiman has given permission for anyone to read his work during this time. I recommend Blueberry Girl and Instructions both by Neil Gaiman.
Seconding Instructions!
Love you forever...One of my very favorites, makes me cry
✝️🙏💜
I hate this book, so naturally my son insisted I read it at every single naptime and bedtime for months, and naturally my daughter now seems to be heading the same way. This song makes it much more bearable, so thanks.
You are gifted. I seen this 3 times and notice things differently every time. Great content.
I send these to my Grandson. He gets music and poetry... The kid might have a future. I'm hooked BTW.
Fantastic as always. Thank you!
You read these books like I do! 😂
My kids just listened to this one 5 times before bed tonight. Thanks @Wes!
"Mr Brown Can Moo" and "There's a Woket in My Pocket" would both work _really_ well too.
Wes, please if you read these comments, let me know where you got that godly sweater!
Burlington's in downtown LA :)
@@wes_tank I LIKE your sweaters.
It is beautiful.
I rad good night moon to my youngest every night.... awesome! ❤️❤️
You are the absolute best! More more more more please!!!
So great! I’m about ready to go to bed and am just all lol instead of zzz.
I really enjoy your work! Fantastic for adults and kiddos. ☀️
If you’re taking requests, The Diggingest Dog would be perfect!
We’ve been loving your videos! What a breath of fresh air lately. Thank you thank you thank you!
This was one of my favorite books, thank you for bringing it to extra life with this video! This made me super happy :D
Getting pumped up just in time for bedtime
Excellent Wes! So peaceful...
I didn’t read my young son 2 books per normal tonight. I read him one and had this video for the other while he read along with his own book. so much fun! I wonder how long it will take him to read along with one of your dr Seuss songs.
Glad you had the book to read along!
I like it. I like the direction you're going. Each video subtly introduce more and more strangeness. Get meta with it...
Free Wes! Free Dr Druss! Please let us know Wes when your next content is due to come out, my kids are asking daily!
💚 very very soon, thanks for your patience!
@@wes_tank Awesome news, thanks for the response, my dude!
You sing really well, the song is meaningful and very helpful.
Genuinely brilliant as always.
If we’re branching out from Dr. Seuss, I’d love to see some Shel Silverstein
SEAN. THIS IS AMAZING.
Loved the beat change! I always look forward to your next video! Thanks for integrating my current music tastes (hip-hop) into my childhood, you do an amazing job
Oooooh Story Fort!
Wes you're still great with different material.
Let's gooooooooooo 🔥🔥
GOODNAAGHT little HOUZE! GOOODNIGHT MAAAAUS!
Yay, brilliant, loved the music! 🥰

Thanks.. I was just going to bed and saw the upload, perfect!
Good night!
Yes!! Great!! Brilliant Wes* ~ Thanks!! 😊🍀🌟

Did he stutter? The man says it's night now.

Me and my daughter's love your rapping! Keep up the good work.
Fantastic as usual
There was a book titled “Fast Food” that had a bunch of pictures of food that looked like vehicles in it. I remember I used to rap my way through that book every time I read it.
This is possibly my favorite and you have a great singing voice too anywho good night to you ☺️
That’s so sweet, thank you Debra. Goodnight! 🌙💤
My son loves this one. I'm hopping you did or will do My World as well!
Wes please let us know if you're ever gonna be putting these on an album...I'd be picking it up for myself...I mean my kids definitely not myself that would be weird hahaha
awesome! my little guy loves it!
PLEASE DO SNEETCHES AND OTHER STORIES. I read Goidnight Moon, Runaway Bunny and Sneetches every night for 10 years to my boys. YOU ARE FABULOUS!
Really cool, Wes. Goodnight.
Nicely done! Goodnight!
Pure talent.
Reminds me of the band Green Jelly, 3 little pigs.
Keep up the fresh ideas
