Neil is the voice of the people. Not, mind, the voice that speaks for political freedom and all that riff-raff, but the voice inside of each and every one of us, the one that we ourselves silence, thinking, "Nah, that's too dumb." Neil, however, does not silence that, instead he encapsulates it in high art.
I was in an oddities shop and found one of these little guys. He looked exactly like the one in the video!! Now he’s sitting peacefully on the View Monster section of my shelf
it reminds me of this one animated video i saw a whiiileeee ago and one of the characters in the video had a drinking bird and it wouldn’t drink water for some reason (iirc i was pretty young when i watched it) i cant remember the name though

It reminds me of some songs from Cave Story. The bassline, the melody, rhythms... everything kind of has this baroque like feel to it, just with electronic instruments of course.
its named after an old children's toy, and the image is of that same toy, so Mister Big RUclips Machine probably assumed the video is literally about the toy
I've always loved your music. Lemon Demon early albums, they were always something special and precisely what popular culture needed. This has been true of your recent remix work. Anyway, I hope you find motivation to continue creating.
it sounds like a puzzle level in a game with an otherwise different genre, like those splatoon story levels where you have to break the boxes to recreate a sculpture
accidentally found this song NOT through trying to find lemon demon instrumental music, but instead just through searching "drinky bird" for a reference of a drinky bird
@@yeabutna7309 it was some joke video neil put up in like 2008 to gaslight people into thinking there would be a new youtube update where they would remove comments for being "too dumb". he later set it to unlisted, and youtube recently autoremoved tons of unlisted videos for no reason (i hate this site), however i think it has been reuploaded by Mumbergo, Emblargo.
You know, this actually reminds me a little bit of the musical score for "How It's Made", at least initially. Nevertheless a really great little track!
I always thought that this could be the music for a video game error screen for when you either just do very weird stuff on accident and make it glitch or mess with the games files on purpose :D
the name and image actually have proper context. it's named after a toy called a drinking bird, and the image is of the head of the toy. don't think that means your alcoholic jokes won't work though, due to the way the toy works it actually "drinks" whiskey faster than water
This sounds like a Kevin MacLeod song that developed something more than a one-dimensional personality. (With that said, I still like Kevin MacLeod's music)
I’ve heard this song somewhere ages ago but i have yet to find out when and where, maybe it was the place you’ve seen before. A place you’ve seen before you were born.
this song sounds like what these things look like when they go in and out of the water like this song is exactly what is going on in their plastic brains when they’re being little funny guys and going in and out of the water
Someone needs to put this audio over an extremely dull video of a drinky bird drinking It would have the same energy as like, skyrim music put over a piece of toast falling over
His alcohol dependency is tearing his family apart

How does an instrumental song called "Drinky Bird" evoke such strong emotional feelings of nostalgia and melancholy?
Doesn’t matter what it’s called. It’s the content which evokes the emotions

Yeah, if it was pure chiptune, it'd fit right in
Impossible. Birds can not wear hats. Nice try Neil.
But are you sure it's a bird?
I'm starting to think it might not be real
Birds can wear hats if they want. How else are birds supposed to look fancy and business ready?

This is probably one of my favorite songs from View-Monster. It's rare to get a song with just music.

the shadow the hat casts makes the bird look mad and it scares me
why is it that whenever i hear this song i imagine neil doing a bunch of weird poses
like that one video where he was dancing to jhout
Neil is always perpetually in a weird pose
My grandad thinks this song should be called “pregnant chicken” or that it could be anything because there are no lyrics. Thoughts?
it could be called anything, but because it was dubbed "Drinky-Bird," Drinky-Bird it shall forever remain
It wasn't actually random; it's named after a specific toy

Something about the backround makes it look like he's inching forward. But everytime I check, he hasn't moved at all.
its very ringtone-esque
this song sounds like the title screen to a 2008 Wii shovelware game and i don't know why that makes it good
Why does this sound so casual yet so emotional?

At the start of the year i entered a weird state where i couldn't sleep unless i had this song playing quietly in the background.
I saw the bird.
im gonna start doing this and see what happens

Love how the shade cast from the Drinky-Bird’s hat makes him look angry from certain angles.

why do i connect with this song.
also, i have the exact same drinky-bird in my house right now to the right of me
i set this as the alarm on my phone like a year ago and now some times i forget its a lemon demon song and not a samsung default ringtone
the name and image actually have proper context. it's named after a toy called a drinking bird, and the image is of the head of the toy.
don't think that means your alcoholic jokes won't work though, due to the way the toy works it actually "drinks" whiskey faster than water
i dont know why, but the first third of this song just really help my existential dread set in
Time to hyperfixate over drinky bird
