I was just thinking that myself. With all the negativity going on about Rise of Skywalker........this video actually made my inner fan smile. This is a great video.
Okay, so obviously, this is a funny song. But can we just appreciate the fact that the chorus legitimately succeeds at capturing the essence of what makes Star Wars magical?
The guy behind these videos is a music industry producer. :P There's actually a LOT of great music being made today, it's just not getting the same attention as the more mainstream stuff.
1st listen: "Eh this is OK" 2nd Listen: "Huh... it actually is pretty catchy" 8,563rd consecutive listen: "EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE FUTURE!!!!..."
I'm not sure if it's Chewie's epic harmonies or the fact they randomly gave threepio an Indian accent. This song is a very well put together song production wise. Better than a lot of songs that make it to the pinnacle of charts, the fact its lovingly paying homage in a cheeky manner to a franchise I adore just makes it so special, thank you creators x
I think it has something to do with the Context having to do with Scifi Stuff that makes it good. I mean think about it. On one hand you have jack asses in this genre singing about Bitches and Billions and on the other hand you have the genre used for talking shit thats actually worth a damn to dream about...........Like light sabres Future bitches in slave outfits and yeah.
I still love how this song will be practically gibberish, and then just randomly have these super serious lines like " I hope the heartbreak leaves me on the weekend"
The way he sings the words "future" and "familiar " still gives me goosebumps. In love with his voice! ❤ This song just stays in your head, then weeks later it'll pop back in, right out of the blue, striking you. Then you MUST hear it again at full volume! Or it could just be me...
The additional backing vocals that come in and bring it all home at around 4:44 are, without a doubt, my favorite moment. It's so moving to me that sometimes-I admit-I actually get choked up in that part!
Want to hear something funny? I have worked with a couple producers that are so talented they can compose, track, mix, and master fantastic songs in a day or two. Then they move on and continue churning out amazing work. Producers like myself aren’t anywhere near this level. The small amount of work I have made never feels done and I protect each one as if it were a baby.
R2 going "Get turnt, Get real turnt," and Jabba dancing like that... I lost my shit. Then when Chewie was all "yeahhhh".....I lost my shit all over again. This song and Bushes of Love are my two new favourite songs.
Can we talk about how masterfully this is edited? The way some of the events onscreen just sync up perfectly with beats in the song is in itself a work of art in an already stellar (heh) work of art.
Hadn't thought of this song in years, till just the other day when someone was saying Star Wars was set in the future. Now I got it on repeat again. Just so damned good!
this song is 7 years old and idk why I just feel strangely nostalgic. They really did not have to go this hard for a bad lip reading song. Makes me love Star Wars all over again
"Sometimes a moment when you wish you can run and hide is when you find out that you need a new hyperdrive" The delivery of this line alone makes it sound so profound and deep
Seagulls! = The funny one Not The Future = The catchy one Bushes of love = Somewhere in between Edit: Hostiles on The Hill = The Weird Banger It’s Not a Moon = The musical number
I can’t believe this was four years ago.. I remember me and my friends sitting by a little stream in the woods vibing to this “seagulls” and “bushes of love”🥺
That transition from Anakin and Obi Wan fighting on Mustafar to Kylo Ren stopping a blaster shot mid-air in middle of a fire was so well executed that one doesn't notice nearly 50 years have passed in-universe.
Funny that you say homage... I was just listening to this thinking.... Goddamn It. TLJ was such a disappointment. They done the King of Ping Pong Wrong!
If you were born in the 70s and remember the days when this stuff was the most important thing in our lives, and the only thing scary was a Cold War, that might be part of it considering how BAD THIS PLANET SUCKS ASS RIGHT NOW
@@JackOSUrulz yeah that’s the one reason I wish I was around for the 70s tbh. T would have been so cool to live in a different world where Star Wars were like a new thing
For the last 4 years I keep comming back to this, each time discovering new layers and details. These songs are true masterpieces and I would really love to talk to people who created them - or at least see some behind-the-scenes footage. Great work, thank you for this! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Here I am listening to this again (and all of your work), once, twice a month for a few years now. I have two words for you hard working guys..."GENIUS LEVEL". Thank you for this and all that you do!
Just found this song and, God, I love it so much!! It's so beautiful, has this weird feeling in it (in a good way) and the singer's voice is just - 😊❤️😊❤️ I most definitely will keep listening this on repeat the next few hours - it's simply just so wonderful, speaking to my soul ❤️
@@thesandwich5321 Hopefully if they ever make a fourth trilogy they will do that (and hopefully properly). I still have my doubts though. The way the mushed everything together in Episode 9 was depressing.
Honestly, I love this song. Usually, I just listen to it while working on something else. Watched part of the video this time and it really got me in the mood for some Star Wars
Haha I was scrolling through comments while watching and listening and your comment came up at that exact moment Luke started singing that too funny haha
+Pseudo Nymn Forgot about the Tom Waits song; hadn't heard it that much. When I hear "Big in Japan," I'm thinking the one by Alphaville. Look up that one.
The whole production looks and sounds to me like an exceedingly warm and affectionate tribute to the original film, the general ethos of the entire enterprise and any good bits that occurred by sheer fluke or accident in any of the sequels and prequels. 🙂😎👌🏻👍🏻
@@SANDSCORCHER Thank you for calling out the prequels too. Everybody hates on the sequels, and I agree they got problems, but then the prequels have the same exact problems and they look away.
@ Audrey Dimmel I’ve seen each Star Wars film as they were released theatrically. I think the sequels are flawed, but the prequels more so in most respects. I’ve only seen each of all of those six films the once and never had the desire to revisit any of them. I do feel however that Rogue One was essentially an apology for the prequel trilogy and an extremely effective one at that. In my estimation, Rogue One managed to achieve quite beautifully, in just one simple and elegant production, all of what George Lucas and his entire team, somehow comprehensively failed to do, in every one of the three prequel films prior to it’s release. To my mind, the Star Wars story is so simple it needs only be two films. Rogue One and Star Wars. The story is told to completion with just those two releases. I felt that even Empire and Jedi were superfluous and fell slightly short of the mark when compared to the groundbreaking nature of the first film. And left the cinema disappointed on both occasions after viewing their original releases in period. To my mind they were merely an exercise in gilding the lily, or just some good old fashioned capitalism. I doubt many people would agree with me on any of these points, but I have watched Rogue One more times than any of the prequels or sequels, plus of course the original film countless times over the decades and I feel that the two films combined make for a rounded and complete story that is not far from perfect. I like to think there’s at least some credence to my train of thought on the matter, based if only on how well the two films function together, when treated as parts one and two of a simple two part story. 🙂👍🏻
It is absolutely astonishing the amount of times I have come back and repeated this song it's one of the greatest songs ever made in my opinion its catchy its fun it's easy to learn the lyrics to its just great in my honest opinion its the greatest video you guys ever made and I'm so eternally grateful because this song means so much to me now after all these years.
This song ! So listenable...so hilarious and yet sprinkled in gently is a generous helping of well timed and edited nostalgia that leaves me with a strange brew of feels by the end.
I did a crazy thing when I first heard this, I listened to and watched it over and over and it developed into an ear worm. Took me a couple of weeks of effort to get it out again. I haven't been back to it for over 2 years. After all this time it hasn't lost any of its appeal, it really is a masterpiece.
@@marshallrash898 yes bushes of love got me for a while, and the yoda one where he's like " mm mm mm mm you can't touch my stick" in my head for months and months.
If it required a couple weeks to get it out...STAY away from Churches as you're PRIME to be Indoctrinated into grand misinformation. You're easily controlled. If the repetition wasn't so much I'd like these more.
Many, many things to love about this song and video, but that moment after the bridge - when the chorus comes back in over scenes from the prequel and sequel trilogies - just never fails to yank at my heartstrings
I think it’s about time that I walk away, walk away So I turn around to walk away but then I look back Sad lady make me turn and walk away again Even though it looks like it’s the future It’s really a long, long, time ago When there were knights And they got into fights Using sabers of light Please remember Even though some things look so familiar They’re not really on Earth Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away Alien DNA walking ‘round every day And no one notices Well, I messed up Yeah, I made a mistake I can’t sleep Have to find your place soon My tailor’s awesome All the people looking, mm Rolling like I’m platinum (Haaa, haaa) You know I’ve gone a long way to Change my mind about us since I seen you But I’m talking at my robot as you mill about the city And I’m on my way Girl, there’s something that you need to know Even though it looks like it’s the future It’s really a long, long, time ago When there were knights And they got into fights Using sabers of light Please remember Even though some things look so familiar They’re not really on Earth Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away Alien DNA walking ‘round every day And no one notices Ahhhh, space station blown away (It’s not the future) Ahhhh, floating in the diaper tank (It’s not the future) Ahhhh, space leprechaun fade away (It’s not the future) Ahhhh, cyborg with no big boy words to say (It’s not the future) Get turnt Get real turnt Get turnt Get, get real turnt Well I’m a jaywalker Got a lot of fresh damage, oh no I can’t always be around to Explore foreign love Overflowing for your love At night I’m sure that when we argue Makes me dream about those demon fishies It’s not the way that it’s meant to be and I bless your outfit Mmmm, that’s a good choice What is he saying?

I usually don’t comment on videos but this one is one of my favorites on TH-cam. This music video always makes me nostalgic even though I’m not old enough to have been around to watch the originals and the prequels in theaters (which is a fact that makes me sad). It’s such a good representation of the Star Wars cinematic universe. Being a fan of the movies isn’t just watching them, but loving the universe and the characters, and for me, wanting to be a part of their world. This video summarizes the spirit of Star Wars in a way not many have done better. Thank you.
years later and it still just cracks me up and makes me shed tears at not only how funny these are! but just how freakin catchy these songs are!! specifically this one and Bushes of love!! my wife kept getting mad at me because i kept re playing it and then adding my own guitar and edm overlay in the background! keep it up!! we are over due for more!
Man I want to go back to this time. I was in high school and the release of Episode 7 seemed to have an impact on everyone. I made a Jedi costume for the occasion and knew at least 40 people who were going to the midnight screening. Plus there was all these great video tributes coming out.
This is incredible. I mean it’s genuinely an amazing song. And the song is a funny parody yet a genuine homage to the series. The only problem is that it needs so much more views. It’s incredibly underrated
I never really got into Star Wars, but the music you make often makes me want to start watching it. I really love your songs and listen to them all the time ❤️
As a hard of hearing person who was put through some speech therapy when i was younger (no worries it did not prevent my education), my therapist wanted my lipreading skill to be able to pick up around 80-90%. sounds nice right? FYI, it is impossible. i love these bad lip readings because not only are they funny, they show just how unreliable lipreading is. it is a major help and tool, but it cannot replace other methods alone. :)
I was actually wondering about this. I know someone who's hard of hearing and wondered if her lip-reading skills would ruin the jokes...kinda like the Downfall Hitler meme was ruined for those who could speak German. (Yes, I know that is SO over. Just saying.)
I have a friend who is completely deaf, and I have no clue how to use sign language. I will learn tho. But me and him can have deep conversations because he is so good at reading my lips. It might be language-dependent, and ofcourse I do have to make a bit more movement than what I would usually do. But he still picks up advanced words and rarely needs me to repeat which is absolutely awesome. I think a part of it comes from him and his hearing brother where practicing alot when very young
What a cracking song....apart from the whole star wars theme ..the singing and instrument arrangement is fantastic ....its put together so well ..I'm listening to this constantly just now plus its just so catchy ..well done guys..👍
This is legitimate art of the highest caliber. The nonsense lyrics juxtaposed with the playful references to the elements of Star Wars we recognize from our own world are a powerful reminder of how much magic went into making these films.
Please someone nominate this song for some kind of Oscar or Emmy... I am a 42 year old musician ... Who is Avery deep person... And there isn't a time that goes by that I dont cry when I play this song... Truly a master peice.... Bravo... Fucking bravo.. Word can't express... My bravo..... Thank you so much for this song... And the a fragment of cinematography... It's like a whole life time passes by when you listen and watch....thank you....
Chewy doing the “Ahhhh” gets me every time. Genius.
Hands down my favorite part 😂

Remove any evidence of the newer sequel movies from the video, and it would be FLAWLESS.
@@Gibby34340 Gotta disagree....it makes it that much more enjoyable.

This is my favorite, second only to "seagulls stop it now"
Okay, so obviously, this is a funny song. But can we just appreciate the fact that the chorus legitimately succeeds at capturing the essence of what makes Star Wars magical?
Yes
Absolutely.

It does!! 🙂
Nope. Sorry.
“Spaces leprechaun fade away”
“Cyborg with no big boy word to say”
“Floating in the diaper tank”
This is a real masterpiece.
Get turnt. Get real turnt. Get turnt. Get, get real turnt.
Turnt, slang: to get messed up from drugs. Somebody was high making this.

at least a higher level than the holiday special and the sequel trilogy.

Somehow this song captures the essence of what made Star Wars magical before Disney ruined it.
That transition from Anakin and Obi Wan fighting on Mustafar to Kylo Ren stopping a blaster shot mid-air in middle of a fire was so well executed that one doesn't notice nearly 50 years have passed in-universe.
Now I'm thinking of the Samurai Jack monologue for Season 5:
"Fifty years have passed.... but the suffering continues...."
It's because it's not the future.
I thought the prequels took place more than 50 years before The Force Awakens.
I love the part where Kylo Ren swings his lightsaber and then it transitions to Rey's speeder blowing up almost like he blew it up himself :D

Here I am listening to this again (and all of your work), once, twice a month for a few years now. I have two words for you hard working guys..."GENIUS LEVEL". Thank you for this and all that you do!
Watching Luke say “girl” like a Backstreet Boy cracks me up. It’s not the future but the nineties.
Hey I didn't realize she was my sister yet.
Girl there’s something that you need to know
This guys is master song writer. He has the winning pop song formula on lock.
Uncle Benja I know. right! his music is actually better put together then alot of the music today.
This video, song and lyrics should win an award.
1:33 that shot…. Where have the years gone? 😭
I can't comprehend how you make these. Writing the music alone and then coupling that with lyrics that match the lip reading clips. Mind blowing.
IKR!
Love your podcast :)
hey James!

Just found this song and, God, I love it so much!! It's so beautiful, has this weird feeling in it (in a good way) and the singer's voice is just - 😊❤️😊❤️ I most definitely will keep listening this on repeat the next few hours - it's simply just so wonderful, speaking to my soul ❤️
I'm in tears over here. This is legit my favorite song right now.
When you realize Bad Lip Reading hasn't done the prequels
Bobby Rossy what about bushes of love?
Saqib Siddiqi Thats in A New Hope
What prequels?
Mister Fancycat I never want to see you in any comments section ever again
At the end of the vid there are clips of the prequels
My kids in 2050: Dad, what is Star Wars?
Me: Well, let me show you a little something I call a MASTERPIECE.
That'll be just when the fourth trilogy's launching! They'll need a refresher (watch people in 30 years tell me I'm wrong.)
@@thesandwich5321 A fourth trilogy would be worrisome at best. I'd be afraid to see what would happen to Star Wars if they made one.
@@azuradarth Maybe they'll finally read some 'Legends' material. Abeloth could be such a fun antagonist...
@@thesandwich5321 Hopefully if they ever make a fourth trilogy they will do that (and hopefully properly). I still have my doubts though. The way the mushed everything together in Episode 9 was depressing.
@@azuradarth Fingers crossed they take notes from The Mandolorian and Jedi Fallen Order on what people actually want.
I grew up in the 80's, and love the nostalgia vibes
Honestly, I love this song. Usually, I just listen to it while working on something else. Watched part of the video this time and it really got me in the mood for some Star Wars
Damn the way chubacca comes in with those powerful vocals
lol I know right
It gets me every time
*chewbacca
You said it! The whole song is catchy, but the first 12 seconds (of the actual song) just tear the heart-strings for some reason.
it's so epic

I kind of hope that lyric was a Tom Waits reference.
+Pseudo Nymn Forgot about the Tom Waits song; hadn't heard it that much. When I hear "Big in Japan," I'm thinking the one by Alphaville. Look up that one.
7 years later, watching "Ahsoka," and the chorus of this is just casually playing in the background of my mind's jukebox
legit get this stuck in my head all the time
This song oddly feels like a celebration of Star Wars to me and holy hell is it really good
The whole production looks and sounds to me like an exceedingly warm and affectionate tribute to the original film, the general ethos of the entire enterprise and any good bits that occurred by sheer fluke or accident in any of the sequels and prequels.
🙂😎👌🏻👍🏻
@@SANDSCORCHER Thank you for calling out the prequels too. Everybody hates on the sequels, and I agree they got problems, but then the prequels have the same exact problems and they look away.
@ Audrey Dimmel
I’ve seen each Star Wars film as they were released theatrically.
I think the sequels are flawed, but the prequels more so in most respects.
I’ve only seen each of all of those six films the once and never had the desire to revisit any of them.
I do feel however that Rogue One was essentially an apology for the prequel trilogy and an extremely effective one at that.
In my estimation, Rogue One managed to achieve quite beautifully, in just one simple and elegant production, all of what George Lucas and his entire team, somehow comprehensively failed to do, in every one of the three prequel films prior to it’s release.
To my mind, the Star Wars story is so simple it needs only be two films. Rogue One and Star Wars.
The story is told to completion with just those two releases.
I felt that even Empire and Jedi were superfluous and fell slightly short of the mark when compared to the groundbreaking nature of the first film. And left the cinema disappointed on both occasions after viewing their original releases in period.
To my mind they were merely an exercise in gilding the lily, or just some good old fashioned capitalism.
I doubt many people would agree with me on any of these points, but I have watched Rogue One more times than any of the prequels or sequels, plus of course the original film countless times over the decades and I feel that the two films combined make for a rounded and complete story that is not far from perfect.
I like to think there’s at least some credence to my train of thought on the matter, based if only on how well the two films function together, when treated as parts one and two of a simple two part story. 🙂👍🏻
"Sometimes that only when you wish you could run and hide, is when you find you need a new hyperdrive" man, that's deep- and relatable
It is absolutely astonishing the amount of times I have come back and repeated this song it's one of the greatest songs ever made in my opinion its catchy its fun it's easy to learn the lyrics to its just great in my honest opinion its the greatest video you guys ever made and I'm so eternally grateful because this song means so much to me now after all these years.
This song !
So listenable...so hilarious and yet sprinkled in gently is a generous helping of well timed and edited nostalgia that leaves me with a strange brew of feels by the end.
It’s literally all of Star Wars portrayed in a song. Phenomenal.
_It’s not the futuuure~_
I did a crazy thing when I first heard this, I listened to and watched it over and over and it developed into an ear worm. Took me a couple of weeks of effort to get it out again. I haven't been back to it for over 2 years. After all this time it hasn't lost any of its appeal, it really is a masterpiece.
yes
Exact thing happened to me with "Bushes of Love". So damn catchy.
@@marshallrash898 yes bushes of love got me for a while, and the yoda one where he's like " mm mm mm mm you can't touch my stick" in my head for months and months.
SAME
If it required a couple weeks to get it out...STAY away from Churches as you're PRIME to be Indoctrinated into grand misinformation. You're easily controlled. If the repetition wasn't so much I'd like these more.
Doesn't matter how many times I watch this, it never gets old.. Great work.. need more music videos like this🤗👍👍👍👍👍
this is so good. it makes me feel nostalgic on so many levels. this still holds up in 2022
I am actually listening to this unironically... this is a beautiful moment
I listen to basically all their Star Wars songs unironically.. this whole playlist is beautiful😭
@@AS-fi7hc yeah!!
Fr. They're too good to just do parodies😭
I wish thus amazing person made a whole musical film for star wars they are so talented.
this song is awesome.
Bad Lip Reading: “Don’t know if this will be popular”
4 Years later... 20m Views and theme song for Star Wars Bad Lip Reading😳
Perfect timing 😎
2020 it's got 23K views now.
Yeah-this song has been on fire for the last several months and it’s getting views at a faster and faster rate.
@@josie4065 Just wait till Full Disclosure and the lid is going to pop off.
Wow only 23 million
Many, many things to love about this song and video, but that moment after the bridge - when the chorus comes back in over scenes from the prequel and sequel trilogies - just never fails to yank at my heartstrings
I think it’s about time that I walk away, walk away
So I turn around to walk away but then I look back
Sad lady make me turn and walk away again
Even though it looks like it’s the future
It’s really a long, long, time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Please remember
Even though some things look so familiar
They’re not really on Earth
Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA walking ‘round every day
And no one notices
Well, I messed up
Yeah, I made a mistake
I can’t sleep
Have to find your place soon
My tailor’s awesome
All the people looking, mm
Rolling like I’m platinum (Haaa, haaa)
You know I’ve gone a long way to
Change my mind about us since I seen you
But I’m talking at my robot as you mill about the city
And I’m on my way
Girl, there’s something that you need to know
Even though it looks like it’s the future
It’s really a long, long, time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Please remember
Even though some things look so familiar
They’re not really on Earth
Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA walking ‘round every day
And no one notices
Ahhhh, space station blown away
(It’s not the future)
Ahhhh, floating in the diaper tank
(It’s not the future)
Ahhhh, space leprechaun fade away
(It’s not the future)
Ahhhh, cyborg with no big boy words to say
(It’s not the future)
Get turnt
Get real turnt
Get turnt
Get, get real turnt
Well I’m a jaywalker
Got a lot of fresh damage, oh no
I can’t always be around to
Explore foreign love
Overflowing for your love
At night I’m sure that when we argue
Makes me dream about those demon fishies
It’s not the way that it’s meant to be and
I bless your outfit
Mmmm, that’s a good choice
What is he saying? I don’t understand
Listen girl
I hope the heartbreak leaves me on the weekend
Even though it looks like it’s the future
It’s really a long, long, time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Please remember
Even though some things look so familiar
They’re not really on Earth
Yeah, it’s a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA walking ‘round every day
And no one notices
Little furry creatures dance but they’re not teddy bears
They’re an alien equivalent
And they may rage in familiar trees
But it’s not the Redwoods you see
Alien trees on an alien moon, oh-oh
It’s something else indeed
Alien trees on an alien moon, oh-oh
Time to break it down
Break it down, down, down, down
Yeah, I was big in Japan
I was king of Ping Pong
Yeah I was bad at tuba
And I’m sure you’d like me to bounce
Master, I need one of these
Do they come in threes?
‘Cause I need to squeeze them
Yeah
Yeah, I was big in Japan
I was king of Ping Pong
Yeah I was bad at tuba
And I’m sure you’d like me to bounce
Sometimes that moment when you wish you could run and hide
Is when you find you need a new hyperdrive
We all sometimes wish we could get away
And if you try
Then you gotta just make sure if you hide in a cave that it’s
Really not some giant space snake
Get turnt
Get real turnt
Get turnout
Get, get real turnt
It’s not the future
Get turnt
Get real turnt
Get turnt
Get, get real turnt
It’s not the future

I usually don’t comment on videos but this one is one of my favorites on TH-cam. This music video always makes me nostalgic even though I’m not old enough to have been around to watch the originals and the prequels in theaters (which is a fact that makes me sad). It’s such a good representation of the Star Wars cinematic universe. Being a fan of the movies isn’t just watching them, but loving the universe and the characters, and for me, wanting to be a part of their world. This video summarizes the spirit of Star Wars in a way not many have done better. Thank you.
You got a heart!
This made me shed a tear.
That was dddddeep
That was well said
Agree, I do!
years later and it still just cracks me up and makes me shed tears at not only how funny these are! but just how freakin catchy these songs are!! specifically this one and Bushes of love!! my wife kept getting mad at me because i kept re playing it and then adding my own guitar and edm overlay in the background! keep it up!! we are over due for more!
Man I want to go back to this time. I was in high school and the release of Episode 7 seemed to have an impact on everyone. I made a Jedi costume for the occasion and knew at least 40 people who were going to the midnight screening. Plus there was all these great video tributes coming out.
I"m really impressed by the sound and the quality of editing.
The guy behind BLR is supposedly a record producer in Los Angeles.
Its not you.

Admit it you love it

Born from a log
Agreed, made me think how good they could do if they remade the first 3 movies
This is incredible. I mean it’s genuinely an amazing song. And the song is a funny parody yet a genuine homage to the series.
The only problem is that it needs so much more views. It’s incredibly underrated
Mate it's got 17 million, I'd say that is quite a lot.
Naillllll!

Huh, I was just thinking how overrated these are. They're not terrible but there is also a lot of exposition and lyrics that are just random.
Make nail give it more views.
“Floating in the diaper tank” 💀
I never really got into Star Wars, but the music you make often makes me want to start watching it. I really love your songs and listen to them all the time ❤️
I think we've found the end credits song for Episode IX.
I concur
I think it’s fine tbh
Yes we have my man
Omg absolutely perfect
"Hell yeah, now we've got business"
As a hard of hearing person who was put through some speech therapy when i was younger (no worries it did not prevent my education), my therapist wanted my lipreading skill to be able to pick up around 80-90%. sounds nice right? FYI, it is impossible. i love these bad lip readings because not only are they funny, they show just how unreliable lipreading is. it is a major help and tool, but it cannot replace other methods alone. :)
I didn't even think about this, thanks for sharing.
I was actually wondering about this. I know someone who's hard of hearing and wondered if her lip-reading skills would ruin the jokes...kinda like the Downfall Hitler meme was ruined for those who could speak German. (Yes, I know that is SO over. Just saying.)
@@LadyhawksLairDotCom Still funny because "haha angry german goes angry"
I have a friend who is completely deaf, and I have no clue how to use sign language. I will learn tho. But me and him can have deep conversations because he is so good at reading my lips. It might be language-dependent, and ofcourse I do have to make a bit more movement than what I would usually do. But he still picks up advanced words and rarely needs me to repeat which is absolutely awesome. I think a part of it comes from him and his hearing brother where practicing alot when very young
I'm horrible at lip reading people without sounds. Oh yah just horrible.
i've rewatched this at least ten times in the past month. I have refound my love for this song
What a cracking song....apart from the whole star wars theme ..the singing and instrument arrangement is fantastic ....its put together so well ..I'm listening to this constantly just now plus its just so catchy ..well done guys..👍
This is legitimate art of the highest caliber. The nonsense lyrics juxtaposed with the playful references to the elements of Star Wars we recognize from our own world are a powerful reminder of how much magic went into making these films.
I agree...however, nonsense lyrics?!?
