Bezos I/Bezos II/Two Trucks is a musical commentary on the exaggerated masculinity of hyper-patriotic conservative males while simultaneously mocking those who praise leaders of corporations who ignore the rights of their workers. The lyrics demonstrate these beliefs and use clever word play and diction to show these views, along with overlapping dialogue between the two singers showing how the use of the internet has shortened the attention span of those who consume content. As it is a remix of two other songs this could also be a demonstration of the human desire to edit everything and make it new. On the surface level the lyrics appear comedic with no real message, this shows how much of media disguises serious topics through a comedic scrim. In this essay I will-
I don't get how people haven't mashed these two artists up before, because they both use similar tones- but this? The layering??? the tempo and pitching?? Scratches my fucking brain. Thank you.
How long was this stuck in your head? Like, how long did you suffer under this curse before releasing it into the world? Are you free? Are you finally at peace?
this kind of feels like the big epic song in a musical where the protag and villain finally face off and they sing their respective melodies as they duel
This makes me feel like I'm gonna cry but in the way that you cry when you cut an onion and your eyes start burning. Like if that was an emotion, this is it
i am unsure how you so perfectly blended and extended both Bezos parts with Content, but i am suspecting that some kind of divine intervention was involved.
Why did it take this mash-up for me to realise the instrumental of Bezos is just Content, and that Bo made Bezos because he made the instrumental of Content and then fucked around with it. (Not from the end- I hadn't finished listening when I commented, but the sequence form the beginning xD)
Normally in connected musical pieces this would be known as a leitmotif. Something that mixes separate pieces into one connected experience. I haven't kept an ear out during Inside to see if he was using them through it but this could be what he was going for.
@@johnnyperry1471 i wouldn't really consider this an example of leitmotif since a leitmotif is closer to a repeated/reused melodic phrase/idea, whereas this is more a similarity in accompaniment/instrumental (which is by definition not the melody)
@@ashie.official True and a leitmotif is used to connect similar ideas and characters musically as well as thematically to add extra poetry. It was a stretch but the idea hit me and I immediately typed it. Didn't exactly hold up to scrutiny obviously. Maybe I should have given it a bit more thought.
I feel like this provides two experiences depending on which camp you fall in: if you had a Neil C phase, then this is psychological waterboarding for masochists; if you didn't, it's an exercise in dissociative hyperstimulation.
I would say, considering Neil Cicierega (aka lemon demon) mouth trilogy of albums, this is exactly whan he would like to hear done to his music. Terrific work
What gay mess am I for this to find it's way onto my TH-cam recommended? Edit: this has now sparked me to not only begin to draw Neil but to casually hyper-fixate on him again for like the 3rd time. I need help.
@@connorp3618 ik I'm just so ✨quirky✨ and special and not like other people my age. Thanks for the reminder on how crappy the fandom I'm in is. Have a good day!
I have a friend who when I first met them was singing Bezos I and I shit you not when I listened to Two Trucks thought of them because of their energy (Mind you I only knew them for like a month now and we weren't close) After hearing this. I can confirm. This is what they sound like as music. I told them they reminded me of this remix and now I cant unhear/unsee them dancing to this even though it didnt happen
The Two Trucks part in the middle feels kind of isolated from the rest of the track. I've read some comments saying that it feels like a fight between the two artists, kind of like one of those videos of two people playing saxophone against each other (you know the ones lol) and I think that it would be cool to have more of that. It would be rad to remix it a bit more, like what you did at 2:07 and 3:24 - might help make the whole thing feel more unified and cohesive. I hope this makes sense lol
When you're trying to prevent your employees to have more than a minute of bathroom breaks, but your friend keeps talking abou this weird car crash he saw
first of all i just want to say that you checking every comment is so cool and swag. but also every time it switches from bezos to two trucks i am ascending and amazed and boggled and transpiring into a singular molecule of water and it's great. you DEFINITELY did this right.
I sincerely thank you for having introduced me to both these artists. I haven’t really found any new music I’ve enjoyed this much for about a year. Thanks!

I made another bo burnham mashup: th-cam.com/video/I4riP-9Kemk/w-d-xo.html I feel like I owe a vulnerable confession for the algorithm picking this up: i once broke into my neighbors house when I was like 5 because I wanted to play with my friend but nobody answered the door, and they left it unlocked. I wanted to play on their wii but felt really bad so I took a cool looking bouncy ball from their house and left. Now they have one less cool bouncy ball and I had a successful heist. I regret nothing /lh
I was listening to this with headphones and when Bezos I cut out and Two Trucks started, I looked from side to side and curled up in a ball as if I was being attacked (not in a bad way, just thought it was funny how I reacted)

@@jacksonwaldon well, if u like both these artists u probably like him lol
this made me experience the 5 stages of grief. I love it
Stage 1: Denial
"There's no way they actually made a mashup between Bezos and Two Trucks,it's probably a troll"
Stage 2: Anger
"I swear to GOD if they made a mash up between Bezos and Two Trucks-"
Stage 3: Bargaining
"I will do anything for you to delete this mash up, please!"
Mostly denial. Why the hell did it take so long for the two songs to merge???
Stage 4: Depression
"They.... really did it... i cANT DO THIS-"
this kind of feels like the big epic song in a musical where the protag and villain finally face off and they sing their respective melodies as they duel
wait which one is the villain? JSHJS
who is who in this context
obviously bezos is the villain, the song sounds way more villain-y
Truly, a modern day Valjean/Javert situation.

They say art is subjective
But not this
This is awesome
The random sample from Porter Robinson - Musician at 2:08 makes this feel like a personal attack
LEGITMATELY

I feel like this provides two experiences depending on which camp you fall in:
if you had a Neil C phase, then this is psychological waterboarding for masochists;
if you didn't, it's an exercise in dissociative hyperstimulation.
i am in a mashup phase so its just awesome
I feel like this is more of a "Gods, I hate it, it is revolting... More please!" if you had a Neilcic phase
With subtle masochistic undertones, ofc
2:57 - 3:05 made me levitate
this is a crime against god. thank you
I honestly don't know how to feel bout this one,,,,, my brain is now just an unplugged toaster
Are your arteries doing okay?
This feels like Bo and Neil were playing hopscotch then Porter kicks a pebble in it then leaves
using the breakdown of two trucks and splicing the two sounds back and forth around 2:50 is pure genius
I would've just liked this as Bezos 3, but you went above and beyond *applause*
I would say, considering Neil Cicierega (aka lemon demon) mouth trilogy of albums, this is exactly whan he would like to hear done to his music.
Terrific work

I can confirm.
This is what they sound like as music.
I told them they reminded me of this remix and now I cant unhear/unsee them dancing to this even though it didnt happen
This has ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to go this hard

say hello to the new amazon ceo, jeffery trucks.
he was made by two trucks holding hands 😳
The betrayal and fear I felt when I did not see the familiar Eddie Murphy head is unexplainable
Good mashup
the most disturbing part about this is that it actually sounds good
I never thought to layer Bezos II over the solo at the end of Bezos I. Clever.
That was the most visceral, beautiful experience I have ever had

PLEASE PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY I BEG SO MUCH PLEASE PLEASE
I DUNNO HOW O_O
I've listened to this on repeat for DAYS. It scratches just the right wrinkle in my brain. God help me.
five stars, would recommend. It made me experience what death and revival as well as deep emotion felt like all at once.

That end bit makes me simultaneously ascend and get rocketed down to hell. I love it.
This is gorgeous. I love it. There are no flaws.
YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS HERE
I sincerely thank you for having introduced me to both these artists. I haven’t really found any new music I’ve enjoyed this much for about a year. Thanks!
Aw thank you!!!
When I first heard two trucks come in I was annoyed but then the other beats hit and it became a bop again
i wish they'd make something together but it's a dream that won't come to life
someone must pay for these crimes.
At 2:07 you should add join us for a bite or it’s been so long
This playing at my wedding uou genius.
if this isnt played at my funeral, IM.NOT.GOING.
yep gonna listen to this daily
This is the first of anything I've heard from Lemon Demon -I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

It makes sense in too many ways
It literally works and hits so well
Two internet comedians/musicians mashed together, this is beautiful
I genuinely did not read the Two Trucks, and when it suddenly popped up I cried
i feel like my nasal passages just projectile shat out what remaining gray matter was in my skull
a mashup of songs made by enigmatic men from Massachussets
intentionally self inflicted brain freezze while listening to this and it really fucking elevates the experience
words cannot describe the amount of happiness i am in
thank you for this so DAMN MUCH WAUAAUGH
WWWAAAAAA THANK YU SOOOO MUCH ❤❤❤
i described this 2 my sibling and their eyes widened. we were both not ready.
Help I can’t stop listening to this it's like legit so good
2:07 Wait a damn minute, I hear a third song in there.
Holy shit, is that Porter Robinson's "Musician"?
yis
THIS GOES SO GODDAMN HARD
I feel like I'm having a stroke in the best way possible
No idea why, but this song always make want to listen to the Malo Mart OST for TP afterwards
