I love that first part of the song where it implies the gay best friend and the straight girl have been eyeing the same man and one of them has to ask if he’s straight or gay.
I have been there. An adorable gay guy and I were watching this really nice looking guy dance (think Pal Waaktarr from A-Ha) and kept trying to figure out who should ask him. I lost the toss but won the guy.
@@Asupreme I think it would be inconvenient because it means they'd both have "equal opportunity" to get him, and whoever "loses" it's personal, not because they just don't like their gender. Of course no one is obligated to be attracted to anyone, but it'd be harder to decide between them who should shoot their shot.
As a straight non-weeab00 I don't agree. Being straight weeab00 and just straight is a difference, and if you don't understand why then don't try cause you will most likely fail
My favorite things about this video (so far) is a) the whole beginning - they stuck one of the most expressive and flamboyant dancers I've ever seen in this tiny, tiny room that's already full of people - but thank heavens they're not moving because otherwise someone could have been injured; b) that moment around :20 where he stops and it's almost like he's given up.
This, And The Correspondents Work In General, Is Truly Impressive, The Dancing, Singing, Music, All Of It. And It's Even More Impressive When You Remember That Mr. Bruce Is Also A Painter.
Sucks that I've gone years without knowing about The Correspondents. How cool are his parents that they are ok with being in a video where their son is singing about lust and sex? Parental goals.
you don't have to be skinny to have all of that. if you want to have that vibe - slap some shadows cosmetic on eyes, skin matching lipstick and some vintage-dentelman vibes clothes. costume is fine choice, and i am sure you can find big costumes for man store, i mean, company bosses are usually big (/neitral) so i remember seeing some shops which are exactly specific for big guys official costumes clothes
@@yatomonster6508 honesly its 100% his choice what he does with his body and his personal choices but also hes a solid like 10/10 (if you are a person who likes skinny white guy nerd typcasts which u'd be suprise how big a market) when hes got his hair and its a bit of a shame
No matter how much I love this I cant get it out of my head that he's a teen who's having a house party, then told the guest to dance lightly to not wake the downstairs neighbors .

True that. Sadly many people don't get that when I say stuff like this it doesn't mean that I'm gay. Can't call another dude handsome without someone looking at you weird anymore.

this entire song just screams "i am ABSOLUTELY NOT a closeted homosexual look i let women grind on me im so Straight™ (oh look i dropped the soap mmmm)"
why, with his charisma, energy, voice and dancing, did he not become a worldwide super star?
luck did not bless him
Still performing as Mr Bruce

Every sexuality somehow vibes with him. You cannot escape him no matter who you are

He's singing, because he loves his voice, and knows that he's perfect!!
His face is close to the camera everytime.
*Omg, he looked at me*
hahaha 👍
One of the greatest songs ever. I love this tune.
If he were a character he would totally be either the coolest mad scientist ever or like a demon from Kuroshitsuji lol
YES. He has some Sebastien vibes, but with a bit of Grell too.
@@pinstripe5487 nah, he has more reaper vibes than demon vibes. It’s the glasses
@@Swampy0525 He's too crazy to be a reaper. Reapers (besides Grell) are too chill.
@@pinstripe5487 and Undertaker. I feel like he gives off the same vibes as those two... Rebel type of grim reaper xD

Wait what? Are those actually his parents in the background?
@@RaveWoIf "Guests Muffin and David Bruce" I cannot remember the guys first name but he is called Mr Bruce so I would assume they are his parents
@@mickys8065 According To Wikipedia, His First Name Is Ian.
@@RaveWoIf Yes!
lol I thought that may be the case because the man in the back is basically beaming with pride
God I wish I was skinny enough to pull off all his outfits. And that hair. And makeup. And fabulous sexiness.
He reminds me of Michael from Vsauce when bald.
You don't have to be skinny. He pulls it off becuase of his personality and performance.
Are you talking about him or the girls because YES AGREED
all you need is confidence and you can suit anything because a smile and confidence is the best accessories you could ever need
you don't have to be skinny to have all of that. if you want to have that vibe - slap some shadows cosmetic on eyes, skin matching lipstick and some vintage-dentelman vibes clothes. costume is fine choice, and i am sure you can find big costumes for man store, i mean, company bosses are usually big (/neitral) so i remember seeing some shops which are exactly specific for big guys official costumes clothes

he probably misses it too lol
I was so convinced those old dudes in the back were just dummys that when they started dancing I SHOUTED.
i too find mr. bruce hotter than forty hells but like
am i the only one who thinks he's also kind of adorable in a way
God no, he's absolutely adorable as well
Adorably hot
Nope same
Its a crazy kind of chaotic cute
He turned ME on in this video... and i loved it ❤
Holy shit this is the most attractive guy in the world
the hair and the glasses and the nose and jaw and oh no i'm straight now

Years are passing by and i see myself again coming back at this! This guy is a legendary dancer! Love the moves ahah
Still in love with this song almost 5 years after hearing it! One of my absolute faves!!
No matter how much I love this I cant get it out of my head that he's a teen who's having a house party, then told the guest to dance lightly to not wake the downstairs neighbors .
Only man with a vibe that turns on lesbian women while still being manly
As a lesbian I can say this is true 🤣
@@FroggyGizmo 😉
@@miyah9661 as ANOTHER lesbian, I can back up this statement
@@miyah9661 Androgyny!
I'm obsessed with this singer. ❤
RIP Chucks
That one woman in the back just appreciating his dance moves
This is the most Bisexual vibed song I've ever heard.
Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
Just love the lust you'll have the leap without the fall
It's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
Just love the lust you'll have the leap without the fall
Your best friend asked if I am straight or gay
I can understand the question when I dance this way
Straight I said, he said that's ok
Some other little something might be coming your way
A little while later and up you slide
Sipping on your drink I'm making moves on the side
I've got to impress her with my mating routine
Show her something no new yorker will have ever seen
So I pull out the peacock knees of surprise
She laughs and tells me that I'm spraying sweat in her eyes
I apologise, stand still on the spot
She puts her hand on my back and says wow you're hot
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
You turn me on
It's as clear as the ice melting in my glass
there was no need for questions to be asked
hear the how d'you do's, why d'you do's, political views, you've heard the news
the oh my god it's different here, you have to tip with every beer
It's clear, so little time to waste
Make the move, haste post haste
This is lust at first sight
Lets knacker the night 'til it retreats to light
I'm in new york making out in the back of a cab
and she's giving me her body to taste touch and grab
I'm fulfilling a cliche: ticking a box
Big apple, yellow cab, and an American fox
The city driving past us block by block
I never ever ever want this cliche to stop
Knowing that skyscrapers rise above
I could of sworn I felt a crazy little surge of love
The love of lust, directed at you
Do you feel the same way too?
Please tell me that you do
and we can love lust the whole night through
They say it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
Just love the lust you'll have the leap without the fall
They say it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
Just love the lust you'll have the leap without the fall
They say it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
Just love the lust you'll have the leap without the fall
They say it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
Just love the lust you'll have the leap without the fall
You turn me on

What is the meaning of this song?
Horny
@@romanticism3585 sex. That’s about it
Its lust not lost
Fucking amazing talent on this guy, and i presume the musicians and artists who helped him achieve the vision, i’m colored very impressed

This song is amazing it’s one of my favourites 💗
Damn. That's one handsome-ass guy.

these replies seem pretty anti-gay. unfortunate.
I have been looking all over Mr Bruce's channel for this before realizing it might not be on his channel at all.
I'm just jealous of how well produced he be whilst an indie sex idol.

this song is pure ecstasy
Love the new song for my Playlist 👍
crush
bruh the 1st time i saw this was back in 2012, i just remembered it a couple minutes ago and i still love this
FKUCKNIGH THE FIRST SECONDS WHEN HE OPENED HIS MOUTH MY VOLUME WAS TURNED DOWN AND I ONLY HEARD THE fNUCKING INSTRUMENTS
SO I THOUGHT THE DUDE WAS SINGING THE INSTRUMENTS
BUT THE FACT THAT HE COULD HARNESS THE POWER OF THE GREEK MUSES AND EXPEL PURE _SAXOPHONE_ ISNT THE THING THAT BPOTHERED ME THE MOST
IT IS THAT I WAS COMPLETELY OKAY WITH IT. like i was just like "uh huh okay yeah i dig it normal music video for the correspondents"
What kind of asmr is this?
Androgyny-crush ^^
i couldn't find this song until i just searched "turn me on turn me on electroswing"
OmG ! my new music lovee

You look like Harold Lloyd 0-0, love it

Who saw them in London a few weeks ago?! :D
Want them to come to Russia ^^

Could someone explain the peacock knees of surprise? Is this some british dance move I'm unfamiliar with?
I'm standing here trying to perform 0:47 at 0.25x playback speed. I'm a horrible dancer, I'll never get it right! 😭
Lol, I’m pretty sure it’s just peacock knees and that it’s the dance he’s doing at 0:47
It seems like Lovecraft finally overcome his xenophobia
I'm hella gay for him and I'm a chick
Absolutely same.
Then you're not gay 😂😂
Seems legit
BUT SAME THO
