Sir Reggie; I'm the chap that called you a one-hit wonder in Wikipedia (working to flesh out their chap-hop section, being one of their chief editors on steampunk music). I may now have to revisit that paragraph. And gladly so! (The "one-hit-wonder" phrase has already been redacted.) Best in your continued endeavors! Regards, Sky Marshal Jonathan Baines "Jonny B." Goode
I've always appreciated how distinct Sir Reginald's music and style are from the other chap hop superstars (the aforementioned mister and the good professor). Chap hop is all the better for his contributions.
always a pleasure to listen to your songs, sir. I do wish you'd put out more, but I'm content with 2 or 3 songs a year (as long as they're clever, witty, and a pleasure to listen to).
oh snap! A new competitor enters the game! I saw the "glue gears on it" video last year and though that was that - but this, it would appear, is this. Good luck - the other two will be mentioning you on their albums in no time. Perhaps chap-hop will explode in time for you to be considered one of its founding fathers? I particularly enjoy the difference engine casually in the background.
I say dear sir, this is a rather pleasant surprise, indeed! I was visiting channel just moments ago to listen to your other songs and found this one up. Jolly good show, old chap.
As soon as I saw that you had released a new video I got excited. I have not been let down. Well done old chap for giving me another giggle at your well informed rhymes.
I just remembered this song after all this time and had to come back to give it a listen, damn it's far better than I remember, man you are a genius but you already know that
I had the recent pleasure of meeting you Sir at the Gilded Festival in Pennsylvania. This song is another delight, and I will attest to all out there that you are every bit the true gentleman you appear to be in your videos.
Man the 5 fingers on his right (our left) hand at 2:14 still messes with my brain to this day. I constantly go back in the video and count every single finger in almost every frame. Now it's become a routine to look every few months to make sure I'm not going mad because it just pops in my head (I blame the song for being so catchy)
ye gods, We now have a trio of chap-hop gentlemen to team up and fire up the music! Brandishing their class act! I only wish that we can have the Proff, Mr B and Sir Reginald in the same song, backed by the mechanical music trio that call themselves Giraffes.
I must say, my good man, quite a show. I feel quite honoured to have viewed this. Good luck in your further endevours and I hope to see more of Sir Reginald Pikedevant Esquire.
Sir, I'm not sure where you came from (figuratively speaking of course)....but I hope you never leave! You're smart, you're witty, you've got a great voice and you could pass off for the next Dr. Who actor! Keep steampunking on, my friend!
Thank you my good chap for making such good chaphop and steampunk, you help me remember to carry myself like a gentleman at all times, and to be thankful as a proper lady when someone shows me chivilre. Best day to you.
That sir, was excellent. ;) Sorry about not having been able to help you with the coat. It's been put on backorder while a dose of RL hit my pocketbooks.
sir reginald, you should put out a full length album at some point. i'd buy a copy. oh, and a few months back, i purchased a copy of "just glue some gears on it and call it steampunk" on amazon. keep up the good work.
Not a moment too soon sir, a fabulous return to the parry and thrust of the eclectic musical scene, good to see you back in the fray. Can we now await the album?

You're great I wish you would continue making videos
Wonderful rhymes, but might I ask what that amazing brass gearbox that sits on a table in the background a few times is? It resembles a difference engine piece.
That is indeed the "Beautiful Fragment" of the Difference Engine. (To answer HaphazardDisastard's question about how I obtained it, to which for some reason I cannot reply directly, I was attending a dinner party at Mr. Babbage's house, and I had arranged for a group of street musicians to begin performing outside during the main course. As he rushed out of doors to vent his spleen at them, street musicians being in his estimation the lowest class of life-form, I spirited it out the servants' entrance and into a waiting hansom cab. Though he never discovered my subterfuge, I nevertheless became _persona non grata_ with him shortly thereafter, when he learned of my occasional dabbling in the Euterpean arts.)
Okay-- Forgive my failure of wit: Dancing with a steam-iron, and an oven mitt over a paint roller, around 1:12 ... clearly that's a visual pun, but I'm not getting it. Anyone??
I missed that for so long, ' Not a Bong' awww. But however, like most things, could indeed be, if you so, happened to be, if deeply inclined for it to become one. It could be one. And look rather dapper in doing so, given its curious design.
G-d's my life, Sir: flaunting a Baroque rackett, no less! As for steampunk memorabilia, I was fortunate, some years ago, to have run across and acquire a minor classic, dating from long before such a notion as "punk" even existed, much less was steamed: an original hand-colored lithograph of Henson & Stringfellow's "Ariel" flying over the fields outside London (1842).
Very fine indeed sir, your songs are quite good, so please do not hurry yourself with adding them at a faster pace lest you lose the quality and style that is aperent in each of your ditties.
That note near the end is amusing. I don't get how people can mistake Reginald for the two artists mentioned prior. My first thought was Johnny Depp until he dropped some lines.
It's a damned shame Sir Reginald's channel never gained the popularity it deserved
What great quality these few videos are
As it turns out... There's more!
@@HeavyMetalClown056 Oh blessed be, there is!
Lovely stuff old chap.
I quite loved your song "Just Glue Some Gears On It (and Call It Steampunk)"
You honour me, sir!
Cheers Mr B!
Awesome music!
Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer: you too good creativity)
indeed! o may i say indeed! rather well done if i do say so myself
I really wish you could come back for making videos sir.
they are great.
you're in for a surprise!
@@RDSk0 noice!
I miss this chap. We need more of your colour in the musical world!
3 cheers for Sir Reginald! Bloody marvelous sir- you have my respect and support in your every endevor!
Thank you, sir! You do me great honour as well!
Sir Reggie;
I'm the chap that called you a one-hit wonder in Wikipedia (working to flesh out their chap-hop section, being one of their chief editors on steampunk music). I may now have to revisit that paragraph. And gladly so! (The "one-hit-wonder" phrase has already been redacted.)
Best in your continued endeavors!

Sky Marshal Jonathan Baines "Jonny B." Goode
Chim chim cheree, chap-hopster! "And gladly so" is a fragment, and cannot stand alone as a sentence!
After so many years, I'm still impressed by the class of intelligence and wit that went into this song's lyrics.
Bravo, good sir. Bravo.
This is the most British thing I've seen in my life
Good for you Mr. BOX.
Signed, The Rt. Hon. Sir Adm. Chesterfield Sofa-Washbasin (Ret.)(Deceased)
Please make more videos
They're good and catchy
Good old Sir Professor B The Elemental Esquire, I do wish you would return to us.
I've always appreciated how distinct Sir Reginald's music and style are from the other chap hop superstars (the aforementioned mister and the good professor). Chap hop is all the better for his contributions.
0:25 that sir... Made my day.
I still miss him
Sir Reginald comeback stage when?
Only 80 400+ views!? What a shame! This is great Chap-Hop!
If it hasn't been said yet, allowed me to say: You deserve as much acclaim as the good professor, or Mr. b.
always a pleasure to listen to your songs, sir. I do wish you'd put out more, but I'm content with 2 or 3 songs a year (as long as they're clever, witty, and a pleasure to listen to).

I particularly enjoy the difference engine casually in the background.
What's the joke behind the 'backup dancers' holding irons and spinning oven mitts on paint rollers?
We will never ever know. I guess is a joke with bad Steampunk design "inventions" on internet, but thats what I thought.
This Serb wishes to see, or rather, hear, more videos of yours, Sir. They truly are wonderful.
I say dear sir, this is a rather pleasant surprise, indeed! I was visiting channel just moments ago to listen to your other songs and found this one up. Jolly good show, old chap.
"Detractors are going to detract." Oh man.
I dont mind the long wait for your releases. One video of yours is worth more than ten million pounds of the finest gold bullion.
As soon as I saw that you had released a new video I got excited. I have not been let down. Well done old chap for giving me another giggle at your well informed rhymes.
I like the Steampunk knuckles :)
Pause the video on it, an tell me if it doesn't creep you out.
Madison Kirkman They say... "Steampunk" ?
BlackfootFerret but how many fingers is that?
Madison Kirkman 7..8.9.10...ELEVEN?! O_O Ah, I see...
Excellent, dignified, and extra points for the Blanc-Sec name drop!
I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?
He needs them to play with his organ. He even made a song about it!
That’s just at the end, his right hand at 0:50 looks normal
@@saddlebag Similarly at 0:07
I just remembered this song after all this time and had to come back to give it a listen, damn it's far better than I remember, man you are a genius but you already know that
I had the recent pleasure of meeting you Sir at the Gilded Festival in Pennsylvania. This song is another delight, and I will attest to all out there that you are every bit the true gentleman you appear to be in your videos.
Tiens, Mademoiselle Blanc-Sec est connue ailleurs qu'en France? ^^ Superbe chanson: la communauté Steampunk française approuve!
Man the 5 fingers on his right (our left) hand at 2:14 still messes with my brain to this day. I constantly go back in the video and count every single finger in almost every frame. Now it's become a routine to look every few months to make sure I'm not going mad because it just pops in my head (I blame the song for being so catchy)
It's obviously AI created, running on some infernal steam-driven machine of bronze gear wheels.
Excellent rendition, Sir. I am jealous of your Babbage machine however and may have to send someone round. For science, you understand.
Out of the three chaps, Reginald is by far the best!
Y..You're back! YESS! WELCOME BACK!
What a pleasant surprise, it is good to see a return of one of the few chap-hop artists around!
I wish you would create more videos. Your content is absolutely superb!
ye gods, We now have a trio of chap-hop gentlemen to team up and fire up the music! Brandishing their class act!
I only wish that we can have the Proff, Mr B and Sir Reginald in the same song, backed by the mechanical music trio that call themselves Giraffes.
+ShiftyMcGoggles oh how wonderful that would be! Something with something along the lines of "honeybee" as base, riddled with gentlemanly goodness.
Anyone notice that he looks a lot like Leon Trotsky?
Trotsky just got lucky.....least in terms of resembling this gent.
ivlfounder Few men have had such good fortune.
Rick Barnes I've also been told I look like Anton Chekhov (i.imgur.com/P5HXiXq.jpg) and Wassily Kandinsky (i.imgur.com/7uleZB7.jpg). Odd.
Reginald Pikedevant A very distinguished line up.
Enjoying your work!
Have you considered doing a piece for Christmas? I think that people will be in need of that sort of thing soon.
I must say, my good man, quite a show. I feel quite honoured to have viewed this. Good luck in your further endevours and I hope to see more of Sir Reginald Pikedevant Esquire.
What a superb way to set all things straight! Thank you!
Wonderful! Brilliant!
I am just now discovering the joys of chap-hop, and you're contributions to the genre are great indeed. Thank you kind sir!
Sir, I'm not sure where you came from (figuratively speaking of course)....but I hope you never leave! You're smart, you're witty, you've got a great voice and you could pass off for the next Dr. Who actor! Keep steampunking on, my friend!
Thank you very much for your music, it brings so much joy.
Damn, he throws some shade at Mr. B 😂
Cheers from out in the colonies for the wonderful wax-tube-recordings!
Great work my friend...was definitely worth the wait!
Thank you my good chap for making such good chaphop and steampunk, you help me remember to carry myself like a gentleman at all times, and to be thankful as a proper lady when someone shows me chivilre. Best day to you.
What a splendid presentation indeed!
"But I've got more rhymes than Roxburghe has ballads." is possibly my favourite lyric of all time.
Hope this channel eventually uploads more of this work. It's absolutely delightful ^_^
It's incredible that this was once such a major issue in this guy's life that he decided to write a whole song about it.
Simply Fantabulous! I dont know if your in usa or UK but if your in USA you really have to come to England!
Superb, sir. For the most part, I prefer a darker sort of entertainment, but I tip my hat to you. Your work never fails to put a smile on my face.
Sad to have only just come across this (it has been on my watch list for a while), but I enjoyed it immensely. A perfect introduction!
Welcome back, old chap, glad to see some fresh work on the turn-table, and marvelous work it is!
Oh dear lord you have no idea how I missed you!
What a marvelous use of the English lexicon good sir. Bravo!
That sir, was excellent. ;) Sorry about not having been able to help you with the coat. It's been put on backorder while a dose of RL hit my pocketbooks.
Detractors will ever ever detract.
Wish you had done more, sir. Very much enjoyed your work.
I salute you for your collection of AD&D books.
Nice to see The Dune Encyclopaedia on your shelf sir!
sir reginald, you should put out a full length album at some point. i'd buy a copy. oh, and a few months back, i purchased a copy of "just glue some gears on it and call it steampunk" on amazon. keep up the good work.
Not a moment too soon sir, a fabulous return to the parry and thrust of the eclectic musical scene, good to see you back in the fray. Can we now await the album?
You're great I wish you would continue making videos
I don't know what happened, but just to be sure I glued some gears on! :D
Look....(sighs)....he warned you about doing things like that already. Now you've got gears glued on that don't have a legitimate use!
TY Sir Reggi., you turned me on to the steampunk things, Mr B, Prof Elemental, and some really good crap...cheers!!
quite belated, but much anticipated.
better late than never!
if nothing else it was nice to know how to pronounce pikedevant.
sir you deserve more viewers. this is just amazing.
Lovely introduction! I'm a big fan.
Fantastic work sir! Thanks for making this masterpiece. I really enjoy every second of your video. 👍👍👍
Who's here in 2020?
Please make more musical videographs old chap. One gets awfully frustrated by the lack of quality music from the colonies.
"Beef-headed flat"
LOL
I'm going to have to borrow this...with permission, of course ;D
Wonderful rhymes, but might I ask what that amazing brass gearbox that sits on a table in the background a few times is? It resembles a difference engine piece.

I can scarce believe that it has taken these years to discover your introduction.
G-d's my life, Sir: flaunting a Baroque rackett, no less!

Excellent song, Sir.
I just noticed the gloves and the irons in the background...
you are quite welcome :) and it is very fine indeed to have you back
This is brilliant, can't wait to hear more from you
Very fine indeed sir, your songs are quite good, so please do not hurry yourself with adding them at a faster pace lest you lose the quality and style that is aperent in each of your ditties.
Yaaaaay! I'm so happy Kate Beaton is making music videos again!
What do you mean, I missed the point?
Simply contemplating upon this celluloid convolution was sufficient to augment my au courant prestigious lexicon.
Babbage difference engine mark I prototype, I am impressed old bean.
...I wish I had nine fingers and two thumbs like you....
Oh, the glory of inbreeding back in the day...
sycoforbidden
Not inbreeding, but the appliance of science.
Awesome, I love your work.
as always your video's are a great joy
Loving your visual puns!
Jolly good show ole Chap, jolly good show I say!
I don't know what to say. It's just excellent :).
Splendid as always.
That note near the end is amusing. I don't get how people can mistake Reginald for the two artists mentioned prior. My first thought was Johnny Depp until he dropped some lines.
Oh this made me smile. Well done
I'm looking to get into steampunk, what would be the best way to go about doing it?
Very well executed, sir.
What a fine injection of amusement :)
Is is chap pop
