"We Didn't Stop The Virus" - 2020: The Musical
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 янв 2021
- Hey, I uploaded! Weird! Happy New Year, everyone!
Last year sucked. Popular opinion, I know, but that's because it's true. We're all getting older, the world's getting more and more unpredictable, and Snapple refused to admit that glass bottles taste better. But at least we have each other to guide us through the harrowing darkness. So let's take a look back at 2020, the good, the bad, and ugly. My first musical was to the tune of "We Didn't Start The Fire," but I genuinely can't think of a year more deserving of a version of it's own.
Hope you enjoy! I'll be making more of these this year. Stay tuned, babycakes. That's your nickname now, babycakes. Why are you still reading this? I'm not some novelist here to wax your cerebrum with whimsical words and rambunctious tales of a yesteryear long since past. Get some help, creep.

The same song that started the musical... it's all full circle.
What a wild story arc amirite?
And it’s just as good
Its like poetry, it rhymes.

I'm sure there's a good joke about this song being familiar and us being stuck in an endless loop of pain like some kind of purgatory but I can't think of it right now.
The only thing that could make it any better is if you had animated some of it, Mr. Razi

Chris ray gun: the only man so late he makes a 2020 song in 2021
I hate this comment so much
@@sibanbgd100 luv u bb
he learned from CD Project Red about too early releases XD
Let's be honest, if he was on time there'd have been mecha-dinosaurs from space after the song came out meaning it needed a rewrite 😂
Danny Elfman wrote 2020 songs in the 1980s.
You really captured how 2020 felt both like a ridiculous blip of a fever dream and five years at the same time 😩👌
GAGAGAGAGAAGAG this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. GAGAGAGAG! But I am happy again because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I make cool YT videos with them! Good evening, love and peace, dear smok

I've watched multiple times already lol
"are we done? should we run? Maybe Twenty-Twenty-WON"
Brilliant
right?!
if only u knew
Chris "I will never make another Musical" Ray Gun
That was a giant year that most of us can remember only as 1/3 of "whatever that was". Something of a timeskip
When there was no point in watching “Death to 2020”, this comes along and makes something better that’s 67 minutes shorter.
dare i ask what "death to 2020" is?
@@namekman01 some netfllix original with a list celebrities talking about how 2020 sucked. there really is no point watching it
@@contra4723 Let’s be real: 2020 didn't suck all that bad. Both the riots and coronavirus were avoidable for most of the population (still are?)
@Ruben Colon A: That’s not what tone deaf means
B: It really wasn't *all* bad. Out of 20 million US cases, only 300k dead? Yeah people got it, hell I probably got it and didn't know. It really isn't that bad. I won't say that the flu is deadlier or worse, but its definitely just like flu+.
I'm so sad about that show, Charlie Brooker used to do a "year wipe" instead and they were a hundred times better, would recommend
Wow, Chris really enjoys using We Didn't Start the Fire for parodies
That's like one of the best songs. Ever.
It's just so easy
The whole point of the song was to name event during a certain point of time and so much shit has happened all you have to do is make it sound right
I don't blame him, it's like the perfect "state of the nation" song, literally just lists off events and things to a catchy tune
@Florian D. there's more and they're worst
He said the 2020s are gonna be horrible
The 2020s
This entire decade
What have you done you Clever Hispanic Wizard
Holy shit you’re right
We’re Fuc?ed
RUclips: There will be no youtube rewind this year
Chris Ray Gun: Hold my beer
This is officially the 2020 RUclips Rewind and no one can tell me otherwise.
Better than that shit musical RUclips did that was so bad they deleted it.
@@eduardoflores1503 Does it exist somewhere else?

@@doctorstarline5647 I don't know how to send a link threw comments but search up wazzupman RUclips channel they have it there.
It's not
Guys I think Chris might be a fan of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"
I doubt it, show me some proof
And why not? You should try searching WDSTF slideshows on RUclips sometime.
It's because of the JFK blown away line
Even though its a new year it still feels like 2020's still going.
Sadly true
You espected something to change?
@@zekrinealfa1113 There are way too many optimists, and not that many realists
@@tyvernoverlord5363 Yeah, I just hope vaccination goes fast and this shit is over by summer, although taking into account governments are in charge of managing it, I wouldn't be surprised if they disappoint me.
I know right, so sad!
It's kinda crazy that the original song covered decades of events, this version covers a single year. That's how much stuff happened in 2020
Huh, that explains why it felt so long yet so short all at once (with the virus not helping matters at all)
I reckon God asked an angel to schedule all the event for the 2020s and the angel missheard "for 2020" and just crammed it all too ashamed to ask for clarification.
It's almost like the scope is different or something, imagine that!
@@Fede_uyz lol
That much stuff happens every year. Do you think maybe he just... mentioned more events from a single year than the original?
“Maybe 2020 won” paired with 2021 is genius. These are some legendary lyrics Mr. Ray Gun!
I also thought that was clever lol
"But it still goes on and on and on and on and on and on..."
The 2021 idea wasn't original. It was circulating around the internet for a while before the new year.
Something that everyone can relate to
Until everyone from our era is ded
Until...you're not American...like most people....
not really, it's mostly about americans
Except the 1%.
It’s got a little something for everybody.
“ now it’s turning out it’s not just old people Bob” that sends chills down my spine
Except it pretty much was only old people. People with comorbidities are a given in a pandemic.
Scary part of this is about 60% of this song happened within the first 4 months of 2020
Christ Chris we get it you're from New York and so is Billy Joel
He also sounds like the singer from Green Day
@@M.J44 Armstrong?
@@sirshotty7689 NANOMACHINES, SON - Uh, I mean, yeah. Billy Joe Armstrong. That's probably what OP meant, not Billy Joel.
@@M.J44 I mean Billy Joel sung We Didn't Start the Fire, so I'm pretty sure that is what they meant
@@mayisuppose Ah, okay. Didn't know that. Coincidence then.
This is unironically amazing. 2020, the year that felt like a fuckin decade
It felt like a decade and 5 minutes at the same time. The passage of time is a bizarre beast.
@@cosmicowllie7394 wait
It's not 2019 anymore?
Yeah
History teachers will be playing this video in their classes one day....
Online, of course.
I can’t wait to see this video in a few years and be like, “holy shit 2020 was that bad?”. Actually I hope I say that because if the next few years are worse the world is fucked
Well, stranger from 8 months ago, i have some bad news for you……
inflation's just about to hit and if your not prepared, you and lots of other ppl will soon be homeless and probably die on the streets because the economy will crash due to nobody going back to work.
or maybe we will just get robots to do it, but that only solves one issue, the inflation will still exist and it will fuck everyone in the ass without lube, so prepare your buttcheeks for one hell of a ride into poverty like you have never seen in your life.
oh and the riots that happened back in 2020 will feel like kindergarten because everyone will be scavenging for food and shelter and probably get shot by those who prepared while you and everyone else did fuck all during this time thinking everything would spring back to normal because biden won lol.
I come from 1 year in the future. Trust me, god is dead and we killed him
@@Professional_Rookie I really hope neither of you have been holding your breath :/
You just had to jinx it
Can we get an instrumental version where Chris just keeps trying to light the lighter and is too persistent to give up.
I would love to see this
Just saying, the original used years for their content... This was all 2020
And unless I missed it, it didn't even include the city that exploded.
@@joeyshears1483 Beirut? If so, it's included at 1:43
@@bombbrain1 oop guess I did miss it, thanks.
Still didn't covered all the shit that happened in 2020 like "Iran incident will cause WW3", Disney made a Mulan reboot near a slave camp, gamers going apeshit against last of us 2 while "game journalists" defending as the single greatest piece of art ever nearly causing a gamergate 2.0, Hunter Biden' laptop and barely touched on how crazy been the whole election fraud clusterfuck
Honestly, one could stretch almost every year out for a version of the song. 2020 really only is special because of CoViD.
holy fuck, "furniture with trafficked kids" i had forgotten that whole debucle
That’s a strange coincidence isn’t it? 😉
"It's beautiful."
"I've watched this 7 times now"
"BANKRUPTCY AT CHUCK E. CHEESE!" is probably the best line in this.
Not even top 5 pal
@@wince9537 You must be too young to know the glories of Chuck E Cheese, where a kid can be a kid. Also Turtles in Time, bitch!!!!!
why does this feel like a fever dream, or a Black Mirror episode
This past year went by in a fever dream - a glorious, terrifying nightmare with dream qualities (I.E., everything going ballistic in such unexpected and irrational ways)
I've listened to this a bunch now, and I'm still in awe of how well the line 'maybe twenty-twenty won' works.
Man when people were joking around about “we didn’t start the fire” but for 2020, I really hoped it was you who would make one! Awesome job dude
the first music video
of the year is out. he did it soldiers, he fuckin did it
Now when he's stringing us along for the next one we can't say he hasn't made one all year

That "maybe 2020 won/2021" line is actually so good. wow.
Chris Ray gun back with a song when we needed it most
The only thing that actually happened this year was the Smiling Friends Pilot
Nah, it was 2021, the prequel
I looked at the title and immediately knew it waa a parody of "We didn't start the fire".
This was much needed. I don't know what the hell that year was.
This was the longest century Ive ever felt in a year
The 2020s have been a very long decade.
Whaddya mean it's only 2021?!
History should recognize this as the anthem for the year 2020.
Absolutely!
I reckon it will
The RUclips Rewind none of us knew we wanted, but the one that we all needed!
Thanks Chris I found ur channel with the we didn’t start song and now I get to start the year with your lovely face
That 2020 Won/2021 synonym joke was honestly genius!
Commenting so this masterpiece that I know Chris spent countless hours on gets recommended more to people.
I loooove We Didn't Start the Fire. If any year deserves a cover of this song, it's 2020. Thank you for doing something I've been considering doing for awhile.
This will remain as great time capsule
Agreed. Totally captures the surreality and chaos of the year
Not gonna lie Chris, this is the kind of content that keeps bringing me back to your channel every 8 months when you actually upload something...
"2020 Won" genuinely gave me chills tbh
Love humanity refuses to just give up, turning 2020 WON into 2021.
@@imbored3795 2022 won and it even iant over yet
Yay WW3
"Maybe 2020 won/1" gave me chills. Great video. It has been an eventful year. Please keep your hands and feet inside the ride until it comes to a complete stop. Stay safe everyone.
Gotdamn, Chris! This is amazing! Best 2020 wrap up I've seen yet.
A Turtle has swam across many oceans.
A Turtle has traversed many dangerous paths.
A Turtle has encountered many deadly sea creatures.

I ate a turtle; tasted like briny chicken.
This really captures the chaos of 2020. I’m showing this to my grandkids as a time capsule.
Another wonserful BANGER of a song. You can be proud, Chris. Thousands make videos just like this - but yours is fucking awesome. Sharing this wherever I can!
Was hoping this would be to the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire" and was not disappointed.
Thanks, Chris, this is great.
MrBeasts "RUclips Rewind" drops
Chris: Hold my alcoholic beverage
Not the rewind we need but what we deserve
somehow.
some fucking how, this made me feel a little bit better.
I was hesitant to watch this. You remain as snarky, black-humored, and entertaining as ever.
Nicely done.
"the 2020s are gonna be fucking horrifying"
Dude was not wrong so far.
Ah yes, the sequel to your other We Didn't Start the Fire parody.
Wait so does this mean 2021 really is a sequel to 2020 with more pain?
that are clever word play but what ever cosmic entity out there would know
We're now in 2020 2: Electric Boogaloo
Someone needs to tell Chris there are more than 3 songs he can rip from.
Like what? There's nothing quite *so* fitting...
imo
lol
no other song does it quite as well considering you can throw in so many different events from 2020 into one
Pretty sure this is the best song for the job.
@@Need_RnR even if there is, this one's the most well known, ergo the best option for a yt video. :)
Woo-hoo, the musical is back! This song perfectly captures what an incredible acid trip 2020 was!
for months, ive been thinking about “we didn’t start the fire” being the song that defines 2020, im so glad this exists
Smart move Chris, now you can tell us that we already got a musical this year.
I fucking forgot the entire sky caught on fire this year, holy fuck. Also, that upper harmony gave me real Billie Joe Armstrong vibes and I loved it 10/10
When did the sky catch on fire?
I didn't knew how much I needed this.
Great one, enjoyed to immeasurable extend.
Thank you
Thank you so much Chris, your work has helped me create my own! I’ll always look up to your work!
This song fades in when we’re having PTSD flashbacks.
Damn Chris coming right out of the gate this year. This was perfect.
Watching this almost a year later is wild.
I came here to say the same thing man lol can't believe this video came out just last January.
This > Fall Out Boy Version
That's a pretty low bar to cross. Those guys didn't even have the guts to mention covid.
It’s amazing how well you were able to represent 2020’s Western pop culture in a 4 and a half minute song!
Chris is so blind he now needs two pairs of glasses.
Hot.
The near sightedness is killing me
Mmmm them near sighted daddies 🥵🥵

That was great Chris! Looking forward to more awesome music, because gods do we need it. Keep making stuff for laughs!
This is amazing. The first video of yours i ever watched was 'aint no rest for the triggerd' and godamn i just got reminded your'e good at making music.
"2020-won!"
Good line.
Wasn’t there already a “We Didn’t Start The Fire” parody for a musical?
Yeah but it's still awesome
there was a parody for homestuck, that's the only one i can think of
we didn't start the soc-jus, I believe is what it was called, but this is so much better
I’m not complaining
We didn't start the flame war
haha so good, I’m glad you are gonna start uploading more :))
You sir are quite talented! Thanks for being awesome and making 2020 a little easier to deal with.
There is almost certainly going to be a Broadway musical about 2020 sometime in the future. I hope I live to see it.
I certainly hope so, but i feel like 2020 is just the beginning.
If it is some pro america production that tries to say how good they handled it all I will carpetbomb a homeless shelter.
there's that musical someone made in place of 2020 rewind and i am sad i lived to see it
maybe itll include a line about the riots looting and murder in the name of a violent felon who died of his own retardation
