    Only two songs this year (thanks to a certain health insurance video), which was quite painful due to my love of the Bee Gees and the fact that they made so many perfect songs for Halloween, but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.

      Thanks so much for creating these masterpieces to the whole HEE BEE BEE GEE Crew: Jonah Scott, Karen Han, Kevin Porter, and of course BDG! (or should it be BEE DEE GEE?) These ghoulish tunes are good enough to make every month spooky season.
      Happy Halloween all! 🎃 🦇 🧛🏻

    Absolutely LOVE the choice to go more openly dancey with the production and arrangement instead of doing a straight parody. This will legit bounce at a party as it's own vibe instead of confusing folks into thinking it's the original with a different vocalist. The mix is so wide and tight. Love it.

    While it’s hard to not get distracted by the fabulousness BDG is radiating in this video, has anyone else made notice of the story going on in the music video itself? I’ve yet to see a comment talking about the story.
    From what I can tell, it’s a tale of one succumbing to impulses that lead to reckless decisions during a time of distress. There is also a theme exploring the topic of dependency within this video’s narrative.
    The video begins with the sound of Vampire Brian (VB) weeping and a shot of a break up letter accompanied by polaroid pictures of VB and Karen being adorable together. As a means of processing the grief of this break up, VB decides basically “Fuck it. I’m putting on my snazzy clothes, strutting through the city streets and dancing my sadness away.” It’s during the dancing scene when the random dude shows up that we witness VB succumbing to impulses and presumably lethally sucks the random dude’s blood. Which, considering the cinematography and editing of the dance scene after the blood consumption, succumbing to his impulse makes complete sense. Drinking blood from the tap seems to have intoxicating effects. VB seems like he’s in a euphoric high. But of course, the high has to end. And so we see that crash back to reality in the last scene of the video. Lights turned on, covered in the blood of his vices and sipping from the non-intoxicating blood of a blood bag. The biggest tragedy of it all being that VB’s drinking of the random guy’s blood (or perhaps more accurately the drinking of the random guy’s life) is the very thing that led to the break up. Part of the reason for the break up as described in the break up letter from the very beginning is because VB was sucking the life out of Karen. The consumption of a person’s life, the high from imbibing, the regret and sorrow after the crash and trying to cope with the regret and sorrow. If the narrative of this music video is any indication, Vampire Brian tends to maladaptively cope by restarting the cycle and consuming another person’s life.
    Or maybe I’m full of shit. It’s 3 in the morning, I’m half asleep and I’m typing a mini essay in a TH-cam comment for a Halloween theme parody song of disco classics. It’d be nearly miraculous if this comment makes any sense to me once I’ve gotten proper sleep.

    Anyone who knows of BDG -- and it honestly isn't anywhere near enough people -- should just consider how lucky they are to be in the know. Brian is either trying new things or pushing his craft, but if there's one thing I've never really seen him do, it's rest on his laurels. And, like, he could. His content would still be AMAZING.
    But the fact that he always swings so hard at this makes him EXTRAORDINARY. Any day with new BDG content is at baseline a good day in my book.

    We can all appreciate BDG's singing, but these arrangements are just as incredible

    The little AH, Ah, Ah, ah having little screams is an expected, but charming touch 😂😂😂

    Brian is a force of nature purely on account of the sheer charisma and creativity he puts into everything he makes

    Between the facial hair and the outfits this might be genuinely the best BDG has looked. Absolutely the image of thriving and (vampire) surviving.

      His progression is litterally the incarnation of:

      OH NO HES HOT

    Not only is this hilarious but its a very amazing cover of Staying Alive in general. You guys crushed this. I would listen to this on an album.

    The shot where you aren't in the mirror but the towel still moves is absolutely insane, holy shit

    This gives me so much joy. I danced so hard when this came out I thought I threw a spinal disc out of alignment or something. Totally worth it, though.

    I love how BDG makes a strong and very informative video about health insurance but then drops stuff like this after

    That this was shot/edited in the 4:3 aspect ratio is the kind of attention to detail that makes BDG an absolute legend

    With Brian's skills, we will have more Halloween themed songs than Christmas songs.

    I love this. I had AHHH!BBA on repeat last year for a good few days and this is a great addition to the family of Halloween covers. That walk is immensely powerful

    I wish I had like 3% of Brian’s charisma. Any more would be too much.

    I'm surprised no one's commented on the background comment in regards to "The Twilight Books' effect on man". Brian seriously snuck "They're just so good" past all of us. Absolutely magnificent bit.

    Others have already commented on the incredible attention to detail throughout the song *and* the video, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone specifically mention the musical allusion/reference to the stabbing strings from “Psycho.” (You can hear it faintly fading in and then right back out in the background, between “somebody help me” and “somebody help me, yeah.”)

    Please, someone put me into a sound proofed room because I need to scream some stuff for a while. It's hard to translate what this video made me feel in any other way. The editing, the vocals, the fangs, the gender envy, THE CHARISMA.
