Typhlosion4President you do need some considerable diction skills to recite this one!! [I'M SURE THERE'S A CHALLENGE FOR THIS SOMEWHERE ON THE NET!!] KEEP GOOD MUSIC ALIVE!!
Typhlosion4President It looks impressive but really, it's easy. The song nly goes for about 2 min 30 secs and half of that is the chorus and pre-chorus which only changes a bit.
All I know is "it's been one week since you looked at me" and "I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a habit of taking off my shirt". I like the song more for the Digimon nostalgia.
I was at a con in 2019 waiting in line for a voice actor's autograph, and this one guy who was pretty sloshed (it was an open-drinking con) was somehow able to perfectly recite this song as it was playing on the speakers. Whoever you are, Drunk Con Guy, I appreciate you.
I can do the same thing with hundreds of different songs. I thought it was normal to never forget a songs lyrics once you learn them even if you're drunk lol
No matter how many times I come back to this video I still can't believe that in the era of the 90s, when Boyz II Men and Mariah dominated Billboard with an iron fist, this song managed to become the number one song in the USA. And they held that spot for exactly _one week._
Rea, honestly same! Here I am listening to one of my favorite songs and decided to browse the comments and I’m glad I did. I have been a silent viewer on your channel for a few years now and love it! Best wishes and hopefully we can master these lyrics one day
Fun fact: the 'movie' is actually the first 4 Digimon Adventure films cut and pieced together into one film, with a bunch of footage from 3 and 4 cut out due to time allotment that shouldn't have been cut because it's crucial to the storyline. That song was only used for the crappy US edit of the film. Hopefully the redub you're referring to is gonna be the uncut versions with the original Japanese music/score.
@horrormonger1 I actually learned this pretty recently because I wanted to show the Digimon Movie to my 8 and 4 year old. When were watching it I was think "this is like 3 different movies in one" and I later found out it literally was lol
Like Harrison Ford I’m getting FRANTIC The 90’s was such an incredible time to be in college-I’m 53 now and I can honestly say those were the best times of my life.
In high school this girl wrote all the words down to the song and I got to memorize them. That was 22 years ago and it's still one of the nicest things anyone ever did for me. This was well before the internet so I don't know how she did it.
@@robertsweet9794 I carried it with me for ONE WEEK to memorize it!! haha okay that part I made up... but it was probably somewhere along those lines :D
I was watching a video then this song came up, and it instantly brought back my memories of watching Digimon. I HAD to find this song and see if anyone was reminded the same.
That was one of the most brilliantly written songs I have ever heard. I didn't get it when I was a teenager and now in my 40s,wow, all I can say is wow. Great job Barenaked Ladies, great job.🎉
Its brilliantly subtle, yet hits you in the face like sledgehammer. Sophisticated and underplayed while still having low-brow earnestness. Can't understand what i mean? well, you soon will ;)
When I first came to the US in 1998, this song would be played on TV daily. I got hooked right away even though my English was not that good and did not quite understand the fast-paced lyrics. 24 years later, I still come back here from time to time to reminisce.
I know english all my life, and it's hard to keep up :) It's a bit like those "patter song" from movies. The famous one being about being the very model of a modern major general ( Pirates of Penzance, sp?)
Caught these guys in concert at Universal Studios in Orlando and they put on a great show. Excellent musicians with a sense of humor who even worked some Led Zep into their set. They are much more than one-dimensional Chinese Chickens!
This is the earliest music video I remember seeing for the first time. My dad had the first iPod that displayed videos. This video and song is near and dear to my heart as he passed away two years ago. I would watch this on repeat growing up
These guys were at the Epcot Food and Wine festival in 2019. When I first heard this song being played when I walked past the mini amphitheater near the American Pavilion, I thought it was a band doing an excellent job covering the song. My jaw hit the floor when I saw on the concert schedule that it really was them playing. They were excellent :). Most of the audience were jumping up and down and having a blast.
TheWhynaut Not really. I mean, even if it was, it was a better version for the TV show. I mean many things are mimicked, like Tosh.0 from the Soup, Colbert Report from the Daily Show, etc. Game wise ti sucked, but TV wise, Digimon blows Pokemon out of the water, both story wise and creativity wise. But the creators are related or good friends.
OH MY GOD THATS A 1968 CHARGER! Absolutely love that model year because of its clean grill and dual circle tail lights. I've been listening to this song for a while, and i just now noticed that. Now love this song even more.
This song is a favorite of a guy i know who use to be in the Al-Quolanudar military. They called him the "Relentless", he lives in Staten Island now and is actually running the local VC!
Omg Al-Quolanudar?? My ex husband Nandor was from there! Me and his 36 other wives left him after he started sleeping all day and drinking blood… Any relation I wonder?
That seems to bother a lot of people. I like it. It's a joke . Not a bad rhyme under pressure either. It's just fun. And art of course. More right brain than left.

To Mac, Admiral is actually correct. They say; "Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes" So I think you may in fact be the deaf one.
But we have Smashmouth AND Bare Baked ladies lol, it's been the same universe the whole time until "Time Travel"(parallel universes) exists and THEN it's been one week lol
I’ve never been able to pinpoint precisely what makes this song so f*****g fantastic. I was in college when this came out, and my tastes at the time were considerably more underground, but this song still seemed “cool” to me. Love it, and thanks.
All Barenaked Ladies songs sound both happy and melancholic at the same time. I could never listen to them because I can feel Mr. Page's pain through his music. The happy/melancholy duality is a subtle call for help that nobody saw coming. I hope they are all doing well.
True story: the first time I ever heard of these guys was the week before christmas 20 years ago and the frigging announcer for the radio program went "Up next we have Bare naked ladies singing We Three Kings"... and I went WHAAAAA...? unti I heard the song.... Probably what got me to start listening to the band. *walks away singing* If I had a million dollars...
Imagine showing up to a record label and saying "We're going to name our band Barenaked Ladies and our first song is gonna go Chickity China, The Chinese Chicken."
One of my most memorable experiences involving the song "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies happened during my college years. It was a warm spring evening, and my friends and I decided to organize a karaoke night at our favorite local bar. As the night progressed and more people took turns singing their favorite tunes, the energy in the bar was contagious. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, cheers, and the occasional off-key performance. I was enjoying the diverse range of songs being sung when suddenly, "One Week" started playing over the speakers. Instantly, the crowd erupted with excitement. It seemed like everyone knew the song and couldn't resist joining in. The familiar fast-paced lyrics of "One Week" echoed throughout the bar, and people started singing and dancing along, completely caught up in the infectious rhythm. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response, I decided to take the stage and give it a shot. I grabbed the microphone and started singing along with all my might. The lyrics flew by at lightning speed, and I did my best to keep up with the rapid-fire delivery, even though some parts were a bit of a tongue twister. To my surprise, as I sang, more and more people joined in, creating an impromptu chorus. Strangers became instant collaborators, shouting out the catchy lines and harmonizing with me. It was a fantastic moment of unity and shared joy as we all came together through the power of music. By the time the song ended, the entire bar was buzzing with energy and excitement. Strangers were high-fiving and hugging, sharing in the collective experience we had just created. The atmosphere remained vibrant throughout the night, with the positive energy lingering long after "One Week" had faded into the background. That evening, the song "One Week" became a symbol of the incredible connections that can be forged through music. It reminded me of the power of a catchy tune to bring people together, even if just for a fleeting moment. Whenever I hear "One Week" now, I'm transported back to that unforgettable night of spontaneous karaoke and the magic it brought to our lives.
@@jay1jayf Me too, no idea why. My only theory is that they were both on movie soundtracks that were a big deal during my (your?) childhood: Shrek and The Digimon Movie. I don't even like Digimon, it's just a banger soundtrack lol
Said this in high school when this came out and I say it still to this day: not a single one of these guys has the rock and roll "look" but damn they were fun and I miss the 90s.
Songs like this or " Len - Steal my sunshine " are the type of radio hits that really make you appreciate you got to grow up in the 90's, even tho at the time you had no idea how much of an exciting era you were part of cuz it all seemed like normal boring real life.... If only we could go back and live it all over again before social media killed the human soul.
I can't believe I forgot this great song in Digimon The Movie was sung by the Barenaked Ladies. Even better that I love Red vs Blue. Ed Robertson is Captain Flowers/Agent Florida in that series.
***** I didn't know that Digimon and Power Rangers came on at the same time. :P They were on the same channel. It was the same saturday morning cartoon block.
RED6UA Yea, I know. Never watched any of the Digimon series after Adventure 02. As soon as Tai, Kari and the others were gone, I just never got around to it. Tai will be appearing in Fusion along with some other old Digidestiened thanks to some Universal Warp Digimon.
0:50 "I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Can't understand what I mean, well, you soon will" This might be my second favorite lyric. My first favorite? IT'S BEEN-
"If you check the lyrics of their songs, they can talk about almost anything. From physics to films. They’re the most cultured band that I am aware of." You clearly have a very narrow musical scope, lol.
@@babymammoth34 Please just let people enjoy music rather than attempting to correct them at every turn. Its obvious you're taking yourself too serious
cant wait to see you steven page at the centre in dryden,ontario,canada on november 12th,2023!!!!!!getting excited and listening to lots of your music!!
@@kuluke2002 exactly....all start just sounds like a song they made to fulfil a contract....where as these guys genuinely look like they put the effort in and are enjoying it.....not saying smash mouth didn't feel the same but it just comes across like that in my opinion
@@DEATHSxNEMASIS Yeah I can see what you're saying there. Especially since the guitarist on this song gets to rap all his verses which sounds like a lot of fun to me.
@@kuluke2002 I keep loving the fact that they're Canadian. also, a song off of Chicken Little (yes, I like that movie.) has a Barenaked Ladies song: One Little Slip.
Basically this and Spin Doctors by Two Princes are the epitomy of everything the 90s gave us - punk style rock, mixed with rapping and skatting, with almost pop-like choruses.
This song will always be my classic happy song, doesn't matter the mood, situation, whatever... This song will take me out of the darkest places and I will never stop coming back to it ❤️
Chickity China, the Chinese chicken You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin' Watching X-Files with no lights on We're dans la maison I hope the Smoking Man's in this one Like Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic Like Sting, I'm tantric Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, 'kay, I don't make films But if I did they'd have a Samurai Gonna get a set of better clubs Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon 'Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes That make me think the wrong thing
Learned about this song through Mouth Moods. I can't actually listen to this without expecting the instrumentals to Stand By Me or Smooth Criminal, or the vocals from Smooth to come in.

A redub of the Digimon Movie was just announced, so now I'm back here listening to this song. One Week is permanently tied to that movie in my mind.

But we have Smashmouth AND Bare Baked ladies lol, it's been the same universe the whole time until "Time Travel"(parallel universes) exists and THEN it's been one week lol
@AMJH 4LAH I was thinking the same thing.
I’ve never been able to pinpoint precisely what makes this song so f*****g fantastic. I was in college when this came out, and my tastes at the time were considerably more underground, but this song still seemed “cool” to me. Love it, and thanks.
I discovered this song from Digimon the Movie when I was a child back in 2000 📼💖And I still love this song
R.I.P. THE 1990s
I whanted to say the same thing! But the anime series instead.
Rip digimon
@@brbInTheCrapper ?
:O!~
All Barenaked Ladies songs sound both happy and melancholic at the same time. I could never listen to them because I can feel Mr. Page's pain through his music. The happy/melancholy duality is a subtle call for help that nobody saw coming. I hope they are all doing well.
What? Wdym that they didn’t see coming? And pain? What happened?
When you realize the Barenaked Ladies are actually Fully Clothed Men
swindled
Maybe the real barenaked ladies are the friends we made along the way.
lol as if
True story: the first time I ever heard of these guys was the week before christmas 20 years ago and the frigging announcer for the radio program went "Up next we have Bare naked ladies singing We Three Kings"... and I went WHAAAAA...? unti I heard the song.... Probably what got me to start listening to the band. *walks away singing* If I had a million dollars...
But the singer does have a history of taking off his shirt
My entire life was a lie
This song .. I never bored I’m 44;)!
Imagine showing up to a record label and saying "We're going to name our band Barenaked Ladies and our first song is gonna go Chickity China, The Chinese Chicken."
lmao
Lmao
xD
Truly a different time.
Also, this not their first song. Wasn't it Enid? Their first big hit?
One of my most memorable experiences involving the song "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies happened during my college years. It was a warm spring evening, and my friends and I decided to organize a karaoke night at our favorite local bar.
As the night progressed and more people took turns singing their favorite tunes, the energy in the bar was contagious. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, cheers, and the occasional off-key performance. I was enjoying the diverse range of songs being sung when suddenly, "One Week" started playing over the speakers.
Instantly, the crowd erupted with excitement. It seemed like everyone knew the song and couldn't resist joining in. The familiar fast-paced lyrics of "One Week" echoed throughout the bar, and people started singing and dancing along, completely caught up in the infectious rhythm.
Encouraged by the enthusiastic response, I decided to take the stage and give it a shot. I grabbed the microphone and started singing along with all my might. The lyrics flew by at lightning speed, and I did my best to keep up with the rapid-fire delivery, even though some parts were a bit of a tongue twister.
To my surprise, as I sang, more and more people joined in, creating an impromptu chorus. Strangers became instant collaborators, shouting out the catchy lines and harmonizing with me. It was a fantastic moment of unity and shared joy as we all came together through the power of music.
By the time the song ended, the entire bar was buzzing with energy and excitement. Strangers were high-fiving and hugging, sharing in the collective experience we had just created. The atmosphere remained vibrant throughout the night, with the positive energy lingering long after "One Week" had faded into the background.
That evening, the song "One Week" became a symbol of the incredible connections that can be forged through music. It reminded me of the power of a catchy tune to bring people together, even if just for a fleeting moment. Whenever I hear "One Week" now, I'm transported back to that unforgettable night of spontaneous karaoke and the magic it brought to our lives.
This is the funniest comment ever on TH-cam ever and no one got it
Nice. Every time I listen to All Star, I'm reminded of this song.
Ah man that sounds great, wish I could've been there haha
@@seabass_thorn ok bud, what's the joke then?
@@jay1jayf Me too, no idea why. My only theory is that they were both on movie soundtracks that were a big deal during my (your?) childhood: Shrek and The Digimon Movie.
I don't even like Digimon, it's just a banger soundtrack lol
Said this in high school when this came out and I say it still to this day: not a single one of these guys has the rock and roll "look" but damn they were fun and I miss the 90s.
"IT'S BEEN" is the most iconic opening to a song ever
Nandor's proof that he is human now
*bat*
He knows the whole fucking song. 😂
That’s pretty gosh darn human of him
This song has been stuck in my head since 1998, along with “who let the dogs out”(Baja men) and “All Star” (smash mouth).
Same here
Neil Cicierega wants your location
it was me. i let the dogs out. now you know who, who, who, who, who? it was me.
🙋🏻♀️
Offspring- pretty fly
this is definitely one of my favorite songs from the 90s.
This is just flowing 90s nostalgia.
I remember singing this song with my mom as a kid I’ve been looking for it for song long after she passed so nostalgic
I just now realized how threatening the line “I’m the kinda guy that laughs at a funeral. Can’t understand what I mean?Well you soon will.” Is...lol.
There’s a theory this song is about a guy killing his girlfriend
@@kobebarka8633 really tf
@@kobebarka8633 Ed confirmed that it wasn't, but he can see why people would think that
Now that I'm older, I think it's about how if you live long enough you'll have the feeling too.
Only a human would know the entire song. No vampire could do that.
no
I know every word! My favorite song since it came out!!
Or a human with the song lyrics
Songs like this or " Len - Steal my sunshine " are the type of radio hits that really make you appreciate you got to grow up in the 90's, even tho at the time you had no idea how much of an exciting era you were part of cuz it all seemed like normal boring real life.... If only we could go back and live it all over again before social media killed the human soul.
I can't believe I forgot this great song in Digimon The Movie was sung by the Barenaked Ladies. Even better that I love Red vs Blue. Ed Robertson is Captain Flowers/Agent Florida in that series.
***** I didn't know that Digimon and Power Rangers came on at the same time. :P They were on the same channel. It was the same saturday morning cartoon block.
***** made a new digimon show, its called digimon fusion.
RED6UA Yea, I know. Never watched any of the Digimon series after Adventure 02. As soon as Tai, Kari and the others were gone, I just never got around to it. Tai will be appearing in Fusion along with some other old Digidestiened thanks to some Universal Warp Digimon.
ackbarfan5556 Do you know if he new show is any good?
***** I'm just gonna watch the episodes that have the older Digidestined. That's gonna be a while. Might come by next winter.
0:50 "I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean, well, you soon will"
This might be my second favorite lyric.
My first favorite?
IT'S BEEN-
I couldn't remember the band name or song, so I searched "its been Chinese chicken".........works
Thank you for this comment, bless you stranger. Either it's very early or that is very funny to me
Nearly the same - I just wrote "it's been" in the youtube search and looked for a short vid, worked XD
chickity china the chinese chicken works too
I searched Chinese chicken song, took me straight here
@@dustybrown4599 I searched I'm the kinda guy that... and it worked
One of the greatest songs ever made.
@@GlizzyTwoStep Over 25 years ago?
@ yes lol
Always happiness! You can't go wrong with this BareNaked Ladies radio hit!
First heard this song in the Digimon movie back in the day
Same, it was a simpler time, I miss it every day
This and 'The Impression that I get'
Me too I was so young 0.0
Oh yeah. During the montage to gather rhe Digidestined to fight Diaboromon
Same
It has been … many years but this is still one of my all time favorites!!
Wow, i'm 37. i've never seen the music video.
Holy smokes, wow this is awesome. Wow.
Gotta see them live.
Ok... this song just took a part of my soul, went back in time where the days seemed like everyday was summer... nostalgia...what a phenomenon you are
Here I am listening to this band again. I love their quirkiness and serious beats.
"the boom anime babes" lol these dudes were men of culture 2 decades before the term came into the mainstream
Anime had just broken through in North America when this song came out. Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon were fairly popular back then
thank you
Rhyming anime with golf was a level most of society has yet to reach.
A very underrated bass line and bass player here!
Why did the 90's seem so god damn sunny?! lol!
Better economy, prolly.
its because there was no social media. the platform that has caused the divide in this country
smd09876 preach!
pre-9/11 times man..
It's from all the chem trails blocking out the sun rays reducing our vitamin D making us more depressed:(
This band is one of the most underrated song crafters.
If you check the lyrics of their songs, they can talk about almost anything. From physics to films. They’re the most cultured band that I am aware of.
"If you check the lyrics of their songs, they can talk about almost anything. From physics to films. They’re the most cultured band that I am aware of."
You clearly have a very narrow musical scope, lol.
@@babymammoth34 bro you’re quoting a comment word for word in a response I wouldn’t be talking
@@JennifuhhGilardi Sorry your retort makes no sense...Goodnight.
@@babymammoth34 Please just let people enjoy music rather than attempting to correct them at every turn. Its obvious you're taking yourself too serious
TMBG
Last few days I've been really wanting to watch American Pie again l. Watched it today all the music takes me back to my youth, such great times.
SUCH A GOOD SONG.
Greetings!
IKR!
YEP....great song and a very good video
oh shit did not expect you guys to be here
Yet almost nonsensical.
Digimon: The Movie is the first thing i think of when I hear this song! Thanks for making my childhood!
American Pie is it for me
At least I'm not the only one lol you may have inspired me to rewatch digimon 😂😂
@@Quiiice classic!
@@seancowart9700 it's worth. Plus there's a new series with the original cast being older
FUCKING SAME
Digimon: The Movie!
Early 2000's were the best...
Yes!
Amen to that
***** It's from 1998 actually. It even reached #1 in the U.S. in October 1998
Kyle Tee oh fuck, you yanks always have to bring it back to that.
Kyle Tee It probably was for someone, there was bound to be more going on on this planet somewhere.
This many years later, this is still my favorite fast speech tune. As hard as I try, I can still never say everything that he is saying. Mad respect!!
This is a great song for humans.
Just a regular human wellness center, of course....
as a fellow human person, i can confirm
Yes we're f;::";King
"This is a great song for humans." 👽
Humans and their bartenders of course
I remember listening to this as a kid in the 90s. If you ask me, the 90s was the best time to be a kid.
The best!! I tell my kids all about it and they even wish they were in the 90s
*ONLY* because you didn't grow up in the 80's!
(90's wasn't "bad" but 80's was *BETTER* !)
The 90’s recently won a record for best decade in history
Golden Blue89 *The 90s.. so many memories but NO EVIDENCE*
@@Pynaegan absolutely!! You made my night with that comment!
I remember this playing non stop on the radio when I was a kid, especially at the public pool.
That's my fondest memory, too!
I read your comment exactly like one of the verses of the song itself and it basically fit. U just gotta sing especiallyatthepublicpool real fast.
This band is everything to me
I love this human music
Much better than cow music
Man I miss music like this
+Chiko was here I know right. Let's keep it alive.
"Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon because that cartoons got the boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing" 1:54
woah woah waoh, the fbi were busy enough this year
@@blub5494 #investigate
I’ve this song so many times, I never realized until now that they were making an anime reference.
@@supercrafter5351 the more you this song, the more you discover.
Xander Chavez Oof they predicted the weebs are always thinking things that are wrong like marrying kids and beastiality
cant wait to see you steven page at the centre in dryden,ontario,canada on november 12th,2023!!!!!!getting excited and listening to lots of your music!!
The Canadian version of All Star.
Yea but at least this is good
@@DEATHSxNEMASIS True. Not as overused as All Star either.
@@kuluke2002 exactly....all start just sounds like a song they made to fulfil a contract....where as these guys genuinely look like they put the effort in and are enjoying it.....not saying smash mouth didn't feel the same but it just comes across like that in my opinion
@@DEATHSxNEMASIS Yeah I can see what you're saying there. Especially since the guitarist on this song gets to rap all his verses which sounds like a lot of fun to me.
@@kuluke2002 I keep loving the fact that they're Canadian. also, a song off of Chicken Little (yes, I like that movie.) has a Barenaked Ladies song: One Little Slip.
Basically this and Spin Doctors by Two Princes are the epitomy of everything the 90s gave us - punk style rock, mixed with rapping and skatting, with almost pop-like choruses.
Spin Doctors are the band. Not Two Princes.
Pop-like? It IS pop
They once described their style as "acoustic hip hop." God, Hip-Hop was so different back then.
This song will always be my classic happy song, doesn't matter the mood, situation, whatever... This song will take me out of the darkest places and I will never stop coming back to it ❤️
I wanna make a song like this.... shxt is hard!!
You know this song is about a guy who murdered his gf, right?
@@BeruCamposdo WHAT
This song randomly gets stuck in my head all the time, 25 years later.💀
Chickity China, the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watching X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic
Like Sting, I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, 'kay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing
Writer: How many pop culture references do you want?
Barenaked Ladies: yes.
The band with their own songs
@@mybigfatpolishlife what? What're you talking about?
@@DoctorWhoKage Steve and Ed wrote this, just like how this band writes pretty much every song they record. 99% of the writing is kept in-band
@@flclfan85 oh. So, it's completely their fault. Okay, then. 😂
🤣!!!!
Why does the 'chickity China the Chinese chicken' line work so well?
Vigina?
Ned D. 'cause you have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'.
Internal rhyme :)
cause its racist and thatas GOOD! #MAGA
u ever eat chinese chicken? beats indian chicken hands down.
Learned about this song through Mouth Moods.
I can't actually listen to this without expecting the instrumentals to Stand By Me or Smooth Criminal, or the vocals from Smooth to come in.
Thank You! Vanilla is the FINEST of all the Flavors!
