Joe Hawley's Strangest Song: Weird Bed &/Or Yes Please
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- Weird Bed &/Or Yes Please is a very weird song that I've wanted an excuse to briefly talk about a while, it's just unfortunate that the excuse has ended up being the Joe Hawley accusations/drama/controversy.
Nevertheless, I wanted to just focus on the lyrics of this song as it was written at the time. I do not think there is any connection between this song and what has come to light recently.
But yeah, this is just a short video of my interpretations of Weird Bed &/Or Yes Please. Hope you like em

FOR CLARITY:
I do not think there is any connection between this song and what has come to light recently. I find the lyrics of this song interesting and weird (bed??? 🤨) and that's why I'm talking about them
weird is one way of putting it

Joe Hawley is the only person that can write a sex song, drop a reference to PEARL HARBOUR right in the middle of said sex song, and then immediately get back to singing about sex 💀💀💀
I listen to 20+ music artists, and I can't think of anyone else who would *really* do this.

“velveteen” also means a fabric that feels like velvet, but isn’t. so maybe she isn’t actually a teenager, but still inexperienced. it’s also important to consider that although joe is like 40 now, we shouldn’t immediately assume that he’s writing this from his present self, and that maybe this is a song about when he was younger
Not sure why I didn’t mention that, although I did say that she is probably 19 and inexperienced. Thanks for pointing it out!
And as for Joe maybe being younger in this song, all signs point to the girl being much younger than the guy. But then again, it’s a very cryptic song 🌴

The lyrics 🛩💥💥💥💣🇯🇵
I think “I am only velveteen” could be a reference to the story of the Velveteen Rabbit, about a stuffed toy rabbit (made of velveteen) who wants to be real. He’s mentioned the story before in social media posts, though how this connects with the rest of the song I’m not too sure. But since it’s a Joe Hawley song, anything is possible.
Damn right anything is possible! He’s a jackrabbit! Ohohohoho!
I think this is exactly right. Joe is fond of literary references, and the idea of a creature that wants to be real tracks with his general existential tendencies.
@@tallyballYTJOE DID IT WITH A RABBIT??!!?!?!?!?!?/?///1

then that means he's not a pedo he's a zoo 💀
Bro Joe Hawley is the only guy to say "I see the plane coming to the towers" to
"I'm gonna stick it in with flair" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Maybe the song is describing 2 people doing the deed in 1940's japan, then pearl harbor happens. Then at the end the tsunami may be a reference to the atomic bomb, killing the couple
Definitely something that could be considered…
@@tallyballYTyou better not consider it
Have to disagree; cause I low key don’t think this is talking about age at all, I high key think the lady in the song is just… kinky? If that makes sense? Like she says “I am only velveteen” in a way to say “I am soft and fragile” and she said it with a flare, in a way to insinuate that shed want the character we are playing as, (or Joe is singing as, or Joe, or whoever,) to do something with that knowledge, especially followed up by the lines “fear not any pain for which I am unprepared” which sounds like she is saying she has a pain kink 😭 idk, the rest of the song just sound like… kinky stuff, and so that’s why I’m like “ah that explains a lot now.” Also one May describe a women as velveteen cause her skin may be soft
I did think of that, but to me what I said just seemed to make more sense. There are loads of lines that can be interpreted in loads of different ways, so chances are you could be right.

theres so many weird joe hawley songs that i couldn't be sure if this is the weirdest.

@@tallyballYT yessir
Bro got straight into it💀💀💀
Hello Ruler 👋👋👋
I believe this song is about Joe's past use of drugs. He stated that he used to smoke marijuana in the past and how it changes you mentally. Some of the lyrics line up with this
But also this song just sounds like about giving consent
I feel weird that this is a better explanation of the meaning of this song….. (as in better I mean more family freindly)
I think it's just abt kinky roleplay sex and maybe the whole "seemingly underaged" thing could point to either being inexperienced (mentally, sexually), or just could flat out be ageplay.
Nahhhh bros a prophet💀, in all seriousness tho, it’s probably most likely maybe coincidental, but you know what they say, if you put one banana man alone in a room with a type writer, eventually the nonesense starts to make sense, and also the under a tsunami like I’m ashamed I understand the reference, Joseph needs to go to the time out corner ong, no hallucinogens for one month
‘time out corner’ 😭
The end of this commment made me laugh and my mother thought I was going crazy
I would be interested in seeing more of these attempts to break down and analyze other songs in the tally hall extended universe
planning on it! 🌴
@@tallyballYT hooray!
theres one about one of my favorates, go to bed. its very intersting.
I know this comment is really late, but i only just saw this video and wanted to share my opinions, at least onthe sexual aspects of it. I always thought that, because velveteen is a type of fancy, soft fabric, the lady inthe song was refering to herself in that sense; that her body is great and she is bragging about it. And that 'fear not any pain to which i am unprepared' is more about how the man in the song, Joe, can be rough with her without the fear of her getting hurt, which in my mind ties in with the references to rabbits. As for the 'old childlike empress' i had assumed its more to do with her energy and playful nature. But hey, thats just a theory, a TH theory.
I’ve been sort of creeped out by this song for a while and the moment the doc dropped i thought “oh I should’ve seen this coming.”
I always interpreted it as the partner being 17 since the syllables match up more than with any other -teen number
I don’t think we should ignore what he’s done but instead acknowledge it and continue to enjoy his music without supporting him as a person, I’ve seen the sentiment of just ignoring the drama with a lot of TH fans and that really rubs me the wrong way
Also as a trans man the shit he said with the original transphobia drama is genuinely transphobic and we shouldn’t be treating it like it was blown out of proportion
Overall yes it’s a weird song especially when paired with what’s he’s done
this video style is honestly great, you should do more videos like this dissecting songs by tally hall/the other solo members
im really curious as to what bring her along is about, id love to hear someone try and dissect that
I’m planning on it! I’ll probably do Variations On A Cloud next. As for Bring Her Along, I’ve not properly looked at the lyrics, all I know in terms of analysis is from when my friend told me it was about a kidnapping. Looking forward to giving it a go!
“okay.. it’s not illegal.. we’re getting somewhere..” is NOT something you want to hear😭
I want that intro line stamped on a greeting card or smth
i love the style of this song sooo much
i’ve been looking for a video interpreting it! THANK YOU!!!
No problem!!
I heavily enjoy documentaries like this! I'm not the type of person that actively engages within the Tally Hall fandom/community so I'm not quite educated on the amount of documentaries that are published like this-,, but I really enjoyed watching some sort of a.. disambiguation on smth you can't find real often on the internet in (an especially QUICK) youtube-vid format.. not to mention how you got straight into the point! please keep up this high-quality style of content!!
"Velveteen is a type of cloth made to imitate velvet" I got this from wikipedia, maybe it's not what the song suggests, but it's a possibility that the woman is comparing herself to a cloth or something, idk
I always assumed this part was a reference to roleplay, and she was pretending to be something that she isn't. In this case, she was pretending to be unexperienced and young, and the next line kind of confirms this: "fear not any pain for which i am unprepared".
"I am only velveteen" is just a cryptic way of saying "I am not actually what I am pretending to be". Basically roleplay

Maybe its about the weird kink shit with hentai and stuff? I know I might not have listened correctly but talking about Japan and the “childlike appearance” part might have something to do with the actually childlike appearance of some Japanese hentai characters? Also I saw another comment talking about the velveteen rabbit stuff (about a stuffed rabbit???). This might be far fetched but maybe its about the perspective of someone with a really weird kink for anime girls and the velveteen is about his (not Joe Hawley whoever the pov is forms) possible body pillow?
Holy shit this is a weird ass comment Im sorry
No ur comment is valid and i hear you
and also pearl motherfucking harbour
One thing I noticed too is in the single's cover (or whatever it's called idk) on the borders there's an illustration of two skeletons in a bed, but they're exactly the same height, so I do think that the two characters in the songs are roughly the same age/are both adults.
It has a great beat the the lyrics is insane😭
It was also released on valentine’s day.
I've been waiting for this kind of video for years. Thank you!
No problem! Can’t wait to cover some others 🌴
i lowered the audio because of the intro when i was near my parents 😭
i’m so sorry 😭

This is what we call 'Foreshadowing'

SHUT UP 😭😭😭

I opened this video initially for just a few seconds before closing it and reopening it because I heard the words “sex, Pearl Harbor, and more sex” 😭
Everyday is a day for Tallyball
Feel bad for you working on this video and finishing it right as the doc drops, great video tho, I’ve always wondered what was up with that song
Ah, yes the first of many.
Sex, pearl harbor, and more sex is a new sentence, my friend
im gonna use that quote infront of my friends
2 weeks ago I made the comment of "I think pearl harbour being mentioned is a very elaborate joke to a sex bomb." which i still feel if true but i just feel like i could totally add onto that. Tho I should add if your a minor, probably dont read this im pretty blunt.
"Velveteen", undeniably the MOST controversial part of the song. If it didn't mean the obvious, I think it could also be about Joe when he was a younger man and they (singer & the ladder) were both virgins (being blunt)
though i think it's weird for joe to write something like this -- especially in regards to himself, and not bring up he also was "velveteen" or something.
Another idea, simply put, maybe the "singer" is not meant to be joe. whether they represent him i cant be sure, but a lot of joe's songs take of another perspective. Banana man is of either a druggie, or banana man himself. The entirety of Hawaii pt2 is in three respectives - most notable of which, simon. Ruler is time and juno, so on so fourth. Im surprised this idea wasn't brought up before especially since even in non-tally contect just Joe Hawley Attacks perspective changes. (ex: Go To Bed, Hoodz 'n the Woodz)
I wanna throw ideas for 'quoth Tsunami Tah' at the end. Taken from genius -- (Quoth: to say either by first person or third person. Tsunami: A large wave of water. Tah: has multiple meanings. To be under the control of, a fold, deepness, earnestly.)
With these definitions, this is also probably a metaphor for sex. likely - bear with me - climaxing. If you don't know, im not explaining it. Or maybe "waves of pleasure" or "fondess" he feels for the other person in the song.
very rambly, but i had more to say then my first comment which i've now deleted.
fun fact! I was born on December 7th which was the same day Pearl Harbor got bombed which means Joe is technically making a ME reference 😝 (also the multiple times he’s said “rose” which is my irl name help me)
DO Y'ALL SEE BANANA MAN??? HE BE HOPPIN OVER ON THE WHITE HOT SAND!!!!!!!
(Loved the vid, been waiting for one on this for a while)
I don't believe this is any kind of "foreshadowing" or whatever. It is simply about roleplay. "Velveteen" is a cloth that's like velvet but not velvet. The childlike empress "symbolizes our individual and collective capacity to imagine and play". It's just really unfortunate ways to describe roleplay. Of course the topic is uncomfortable but is legot just about sex as far as I can see
It released as a valentines song (USA), its about making love literally 😂
For some reason I always thought the lyric "rolling overcomers past alternative will" was "rolling over commerce past alternative milks" 😭
I forgot about this song for a long time and its sooo weird although thx for reminding me about it
Joe was in a goofy mood when writing this song 💀
a little silly
I didnt know this song was made by joe hawley i only know it exist was because of animation meme
My poor 16 year old mine had such a different impression of this song
When I listin to the song I hear NOTHING ABOUT sex and 9/11 and other stuff, WHERE? WHY? HOW

sex then pearl harbour then sex sounds like the name of a will wood song.
that is so true
This is absolutely unhinged wtf
How did I not know that this is what it was about
i think velveteen means that the woman thinks little of herself
If you need video recommendations, witch I doubt you should make one similar to your baby hotline video, but with songs like dinner is not over, two time or Cupid
0:23 perhaps u/Fox1021 could Turn The Lights Off and Go To Bed in a Weird Bed to Dream in Sweet Sea Major?
Wdym by ''the excuse has ended up being the Joe Hawley accusations'''?
I’ve been trying to find an excuse to make this video, because it’s very weird and unrelated to everything. But now it’s more relevant because of the Joe Hawley situation, and I think people will care about it more. It’s not really an important part of the video, just me speaking my mind.
I had a feeling velveteen secretly meant seventeen since they rhyme
THE PIKUNIKU MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND
if you where to do a video analyzing a another song by joe, you shuold do bahamian rap city.
very good idea, although there’s a LOT to break down. planning on doing Variations On A Cloud next, then i’ll have a loot at Bahamian Rap City.
@@tallyballYTsounds great. if you use the puppet video, don't forget to mention walter white's appearence in the video.
