Honestly, I’m imagining some kind of prequel before Vox came to power when he was still competing with Alastor and there was some kind of similar song battle between them that Alastor initiated, and this is just Vox’s attempt to get back at him
I love the concept of radio being the media of choice in Hell, with Alastor championing the original broadcast sensation with Trans-Atlantic delivery and 1930s swagger. Vox starting this song with flashy, profane smugness then getting destroyed with his signal diminished is a beautiful comeuppance. I can’t love this number enough.
You can listen to Radio while doing ... oh... LOTS of things. TV DEMANDS to be seen and center stage. Radio can provide ambiance for the evening's pleasures, a steady beat for work, a soothing voice at the end of the day.... Or soul chilling terror laiden screams in the middle of the night.

Unlike Vox who uses flash and glam to prop himself up while barely acknowledging the contributions of his partners, Alastor is classy and honest and treats his employees well.
"I'm gonna make you wish that I stayed gone". I know it's probably supposed to be threatening, but it's actually such a gorgeously petty phrase. Alastor is literally goes like: "I woke up and it's your problem". Such a mood.
i like on how detailed the ending and beginning is, vox feels confident at first, after all it has been 7 years and vox thinks he can beat him now. but at the end when all his tvs turn off and he starts buffering.. his confidence lowers, therefore by alastor using his own words against him itll make him enraged and possibly realize that he cant beat alastor still, which means alastor wont be bothered with trying to keep him away from the hotel.
The beginning actually makes it clear Vox barely beat Alastor in a past fight, off what Val says at the beginning here. Alastor is a little weaker than Vox but Alastor is able to keep himself much more composed, which makes anyone the most deadly one in a room if done right
@@LimeProductionz-rt your correct about the composed part and vox beat him barely, but i would say alastor is stronger then vox alone, shown by the lyric "he'd be powerless without the other v's" im guessing that all the v's teamed up on him and not just vox, but then again vox is very prideful so i dunno if he'd let the other v's join in. remember this is just a theory.
@@Rex_OEDITS true, hell my own theory is that Vox/Alastor had their duel shortly after Alastor turned down Vox’ offer and Vox barely bested him, but Alastor says he’d be powerless without the other Vees to fuck with Vox and also make the public not all for Vox, as a way to weaken him. Vox is very powerful, but Alastor knows how to get under the skin, which with S2 happening there’s a lot to wonder
@@LimeProductionz-rtI have to disagree. It said that Alastor almost beat Vox. It might have ended in a stalemate rather than a victory for either side.
@@LimeProductionz-rtI mean.... the notably mostly off-screen vees get two presumably key reaction shots in the song proper: first appearing hassled and disgruntled during vox's section, upon being approached, then later appearing surprisedly _pleased_ during alastor's section, upon his acknowledgement of them. considering that, we have reason on a meta level to suspect that comment might also have been intended specifically to induce such a reaction, and been the beginnings of an effort to ingratiate himself with them - the two of them have apparently at least acceded to work with alastor as well as vox before, so..?
I love how Val and Vel smirk when Alastor sings the line "He'd be powerless without the other Vees.". I can hear their thoughts "well, actually your kinda not wrong". 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that Vox just keep on yapping and talking shit while Alastor is just…being himself which pisses Vox off is hilarious. They have a Spongebob and Squidward type relationship and I LOVE IT. They have completely polar opposite motives and STEREO(pun intended)-typical personalities. Their dynamic works perfectly.
The voice acting on this show is on point! I like to think, that I can act and use my voice better than the average joe, but dammn. There are such crazy subtelties, that it would be impossible for me to even try to replicate their voices.
I love that it kinda says that Vox can't beat Alastor because the radio demon stays calm, his radio broadcast stays on, and all the TV's and lights shut off once Vox gets too mad because he shorts himself and everything else out
This got to be the best song out of the musical numbers in the season. This competition between The Radio and TV and how they represent classy vs obnoxious.
Vox is going to be a menace next season. Imagine a mind controlled army marching on the hotel. Possibly with one or more of its residence. Things are going to get hectic.
this is without a doubt my favourite music of them all, poison can be second and the first song with lucifer third, but DAMN this one really hits hard i love the 2 powerfull overlords confroting each other, the slow and terror inducing pace, its great
"Now his medium is getting bloody rare" just that line alone...the setting of "venison with vox" amazingly funny. For those who don't know, alastor is a deer based demon, aka, venison, a meat that you can eat raw (if you're brave/stupid) or cooked, from rare to well done
I never noticed this but both alastor and vox fed off attention shown by alastor clearly being a bit annoyed that the other overlords didn't care he went missing for 7 years and vox clearly trying to one up alastor and get all of the attention. It really plays into them formally being friends
Okay, not a single comment on it, but can we just talk about how fuck!n' SCARY Alastor's pupils are when they turn into radio dials and click to the beat of the song. That's what really added the "sugar to the cream" of his scariness for me!

Oh Satan, now we need “Tea Time with Alastor” to be a thing next season. I want it to be his radio show, but he covers announcements related to the hotel and gossip in the Pride Ring.
2:13 Can we take a moment of the details? Like because of the electrical shock Valentino fur jacket and Velvettev hair goes up like how in real life work
Yeah its pretty good. My only problem is that its only 8 episodes. Its kind of short for a season. Not much you can do in that time frame. This way season 1 felt a bit too fast-paced for me. Dragging it on for another 8 eps would have been too much, but the 4 needed for 12 or even just 2 to 10 would have made it much better in my opinion.
I love how Vox and Vals dynamic completely shifts here. Before, Val was shown to be the impulsive and vindictive manchild, and Vox had to tug the right strings to calm him down. Now Vox is the impulsive guy, and Val completely delighted over seeing him this way.
You know, one of the interesting aspects of Vox & Alastor's dynamic is that Vox has never actually "seen" Alastor - because Alastor can't be recorded on video without the camera glitching out, and Vox's head is a Television. I wonder what will happen when we finally see Vox and our host in the same room.
Damn, I expected to Vox to destroy Alastor with TV basically destroying radio in modern age. It was absolutely terrifying to see Alastor easily own Vox throughout the song. Truly the first moment in the show when we see how powerful the radio demon really is
Vox should have listened to what he said to Valentino: do nothing. Had Vox not called out Alastor, it would have taken him time to rebuild his reputation as the Radio Demon. But then Vox came along and called attention to the fact that Alastor was back. So, he decided that now was a perfect time to remind everyone who he is.
Lyrics: Vox: That fucker is back! Valentino: Yea.... I thought he was gone for good too..... Vox: Its been seven years! Valentio: Still pissed that he almost beat you that time? Vox: Uh.... Fuck you?! Valentino: Just saying! Vox: Things has change since he left town.... Valentino: Thats for sure...... Vox: I gotta send him a message on who's really in charge of things now! Welcome home. Im gonna make you wish that you've stayed gone. Say hello to a new status quo. Everyone knows that theres a brand new dawn, turn the TV ONNNNN! (Camera speeds rolling in 3, 2,-Welcome to the show!)

OH, this will be FUN! Vox:Fuck!......
Not only is this song too catchy for its own good, but the more you listen to it, the more context clues you get regarding what happened with Alastor and Vox. Valentino references "That time he almost beat you", which combined with Alastor saying that he'd turned down Vox's offer to join the Vees, and Vox calling him a coward, tells me this: Vox rose to power about 7 years ago, and wanted to add Alastor to his crew. Alastor refused, and a major fight happened between them as a result. Alastor sees he's losing ground, and retreats, before disappearing. While he's gone for seven years, he makes a deal with either Lilith or another overlord to gain more power, so he's never beaten again. In return, he either has to protect Charlie and the hotel, or spy on them and find out how to destroy them, so that whoever made the deal can take over Hell for themselves. I'm not sure which scenario it will be, but I can't wait to find out more of that juicy backstory!
I think it has more to do with the upbringing. They were competitors for power/influence over the masses and Vox wanted to instead recruit Alastor. Alastor declined. When Vox called him a coward, he was slandering Alastor, but not showing the full picture. Why would vox invite Alastor? This would imply Alastor was a threat that can beat him and Vox believed it. If he did beat Alastor, vox wouldnt feel the need to recruit nor would he be this pissed and feel the need to slander him so or even make a broadcast stating his return if he did beat Alastor. What i think happened was Alastor was 100% winning the power of influence, vox couldnt compete and feared for his life, Alastor however isnt a man who just kills, he tortures and broadcasts it. Vox crossed him and Alastor doesnt want to just kill him. Alastor left for some reason which i believe pertains to Vox by instilling false hope of success but doesnt know truely if he can beat Alastor. After this song, its apparent that even with all the power Vox gained, Alastor is still overpowering his influence and it scares him. He messed with the wrong demon and just pissed him off a second time with this slander/stole his territory. Now Alastor is going to take it back and make Vox fear what will come.
one thing i noticed is that vox has a picture of him and alastor standing side by side with vox being ripped out of the photo. vivzie said their relationship is complicated and sad, so i presume they were friends before?
Alastor completely flipping Vox's own opening lines against him is just too badass. Vox isn't even safe to do his villain songs in peace.
Honestly, I’m imagining some kind of prequel before Vox came to power when he was still competing with Alastor and there was some kind of similar song battle between them that Alastor initiated, and this is just Vox’s attempt to get back at him

@@0hvist i agree with honesty, buts that it💀💀
They have an evil bugs bunny and daffy duck dynamic that I love
"I'm gonna make you wish that I stayed gone".
I know it's probably supposed to be threatening, but it's actually such a gorgeously petty phrase. Alastor is literally goes like: "I woke up and it's your problem". Such a mood.
i like on how detailed the ending and beginning is, vox feels confident at first, after all it has been 7 years and vox thinks he can beat him now. but at the end when all his tvs turn off and he starts buffering.. his confidence lowers, therefore by alastor using his own words against him itll make him enraged and possibly realize that he cant beat alastor still, which means alastor wont be bothered with trying to keep him away from the hotel.
The beginning actually makes it clear Vox barely beat Alastor in a past fight, off what Val says at the beginning here. Alastor is a little weaker than Vox but Alastor is able to keep himself much more composed, which makes anyone the most deadly one in a room if done right
@@LimeProductionz-rt your correct about the composed part and vox beat him barely, but i would say alastor is stronger then vox alone, shown by the lyric "he'd be powerless without the other v's" im guessing that all the v's teamed up on him and not just vox, but then again vox is very prideful so i dunno if he'd let the other v's join in. remember this is just a theory.
@@Rex_OEDITS true, hell my own theory is that Vox/Alastor had their duel shortly after Alastor turned down Vox’ offer and Vox barely bested him, but Alastor says he’d be powerless without the other Vees to fuck with Vox and also make the public not all for Vox, as a way to weaken him. Vox is very powerful, but Alastor knows how to get under the skin, which with S2 happening there’s a lot to wonder
@@LimeProductionz-rtI have to disagree. It said that Alastor almost beat Vox. It might have ended in a stalemate rather than a victory for either side.
@@LimeProductionz-rtI mean.... the notably mostly off-screen vees get two presumably key reaction shots in the song proper: first appearing hassled and disgruntled during vox's section, upon being approached, then later appearing surprisedly _pleased_ during alastor's section, upon his acknowledgement of them.
considering that, we have reason on a meta level to suspect that comment might also have been intended specifically to induce such a reaction, and been the beginnings of an effort to ingratiate himself with them - the two of them have apparently at least acceded to work with alastor as well as vox before, so..?
I love how Val and Vel smirk when Alastor sings the line "He'd be powerless without the other Vees.".
I can hear their thoughts "well, actually your kinda not wrong". 🤣🤣🤣
2:23 His singing at always makes me feel a chill. I can just feel the malice.
so can too can vox if the look on his face at the end is any giveaway
1:48 god thats so slick at shade throwing 😂❤
When Alastor said "he'd be powerless without the other Vees". The way Velvet and Valentino smile means it's probably true.
I imagine the same applies to them as well. Each Vee would be powerless without the other two.
1:24 “Salutations, good to be back on the air.”
The fact that Vox just keep on yapping and talking shit while Alastor is just…being himself which pisses Vox off is hilarious. They have a Spongebob and Squidward type relationship and I LOVE IT. They have completely polar opposite motives and STEREO(pun intended)-typical personalities. Their dynamic works perfectly.
Vox yelling “FFUCKK😭”
Will be forever my favorite moment, but wait until you hear him yelling that I’m Russian…
“БЛЛЯТ 😭”
For some reason my brain made me think of he just went "Burt!!!"

Slavic dubs are gonna be wild😂. Can't wait for a Serbo-Croatian dub and a Russian and Ukrainian dub. The swearing will be great
Love the detail how Vox is singing so fast, especially at the start, which represents how stressed and nervous he is that Alastor is back
The change from talking to singing at 1:48 is perfect
Dude yeah I keep watching the whole song just to get the buildup to that. Favorite musical moment of the show
I know the voice acting is good because I’m awful with hearing songs and I can clearly understand them
The voice acting on this show is on point!
I like to think, that I can act and use my voice better than the average joe, but dammn. There are such crazy subtelties, that it would be impossible for me to even try to replicate their voices.
i wish the song ended at alastor saying “i’m afraid you’ve lost your single.” that shit is COLD
Love the fact that Vox is actually afraid of Alastor
I love that Alastor just enjoys getting under everyone's skin.
Well vox showed hell who’s in charge and its not him😂

I'm all ears
the nervous “who gives a shit”. LOVES IT !
I still wish there was a fully extended version of this. The rhythm is just killer
the way alastor was so calm and vox was being a piss baby
The actor for Alastor should get a grammy award
I love the knock at smart-TVs with "Uh-oh! The TV's buffering!" That's hilarious.
I love that it kinda says that Vox can't beat Alastor because the radio demon stays calm, his radio broadcast stays on, and all the TV's and lights shut off once Vox gets too mad because he shorts himself and everything else out
This got to be the best song out of the musical numbers in the season. This competition between The Radio and TV and how they represent classy vs obnoxious.
1:00 this whole part amazing writing
I’ve never seen someone lose their aura as fast as vox did😭😂
Frr
And this is why Alastor is my favorite character: his tendency towards stealing the spotlight makes for an exciting experience.
1:54 Not Alastor making Val and Velvette blush
Vox is going to be a menace next season. Imagine a mind controlled army marching on the hotel. Possibly with one or more of its residence. Things are going to get hectic.
this is without a doubt my favourite music of them all, poison can be second and the first song with lucifer third, but DAMN this one really hits hard i love the 2 powerfull overlords confroting each other, the slow and terror inducing pace, its great
Thank you for uploading the full song! I wanted to re-watch it without pulling up the full episode again. ❤
"and now he's pissy that's the tea"
I like how Velvette and Valentiono smiled hearing alastor saying Vox would be powerless without them😮
This the difference between a Bully and a Predator
Thx for the song upload. God Hazbin Hotel's songs are fucking bangers
His voice is simply marvelous.
I love how vox is all like "where's he been who gives a shi.. and his buddies are just like really man
"Now his medium is getting bloody rare" just that line alone...the setting of "venison with vox" amazingly funny. For those who don't know, alastor is a deer based demon, aka, venison, a meat that you can eat raw (if you're brave/stupid) or cooked, from rare to well done
It's a great double meaning, too. The medium of radio is indeed getting rarer since TV gained prominence.
Now this a cool Easter egg
Idk why but i keep rewatching this over and over
I never noticed this but both alastor and vox fed off attention shown by alastor clearly being a bit annoyed that the other overlords didn't care he went missing for 7 years and vox clearly trying to one up alastor and get all of the attention.
It really plays into them formally being friends
0:36 ONNNNNNNNNNNN
“Oh this will be fun.” Love Alistor!
I just noticed that the V's artist rendition calls Alastor out as being a furry :')

Okay, not a single comment on it, but can we just talk about how fuck!n' SCARY Alastor's pupils are when they turn into radio dials and click to the beat of the song. That's what really added the "sugar to the cream" of his scariness for me!

Did anybody miss him? Did anybody notice? More on tonight's program!
So, The Radio-Demon is back in town. Why is he hanging around? What does that mean for your family? Well handily, I've got good news;"
(Sing-song)
He's a looser, a fossil and I don't mean to sound hostile, *but the the demon is a coward!*
You can take that as gospel,
well play my view is impossible
I'm visual, he's barely audible
Stop giving him the time of day, don't listen to a word he'd say
I hope he had a nice vacay

1:53 hilarious how Val and the female V made faces implying that Alastor isnt incorrect
If only they realized that Alastor most likely believes that each one of them would be nothing without the other two, not just Vox.
Honestly- Alastor saying “Thats the tea!” Is everything 😂
"Now his medium is getting bloody rare!" is next-level writing.
BRO VOX IS SO POWERFUL HE POWERS HELL ON HIS OWN!?
1:24 most satisfying part of the song

Spoiler: ....usually the answer is 'Yes.'
Would be hilarious if Alastor had a podcast where he "spills the tea" and gossips about the other overlords 😂
Oh Satan, now we need “Tea Time with Alastor” to be a thing next season. I want it to be his radio show, but he covers announcements related to the hotel and gossip in the Pride Ring.
*vox starts singing stays gone me starting playing this 81 times*
2:13
Can we take a moment of the details? Like because of the electrical shock Valentino fur jacket and Velvettev hair goes up like how in real life work
Alastor should change his name to Podcast Demon to survive in this day and age.
It’s so embarrassing that I’m so obsessed with this song
don't worry...you're not alone XD
Bro im really liking hazbin hotel. Like the humor the story the music
Yeah its pretty good. My only problem is that its only 8 episodes. Its kind of short for a season. Not much you can do in that time frame. This way season 1 felt a bit too fast-paced for me. Dragging it on for another 8 eps would have been too much, but the 4 needed for 12 or even just 2 to 10 would have made it much better in my opinion.
I love how Vox and Vals dynamic completely shifts here. Before, Val was shown to be the impulsive and vindictive manchild, and Vox had to tug the right strings to calm him down. Now Vox is the impulsive guy, and Val completely delighted over seeing him this way.
Alastor salivating at the thought of brutalizing Vox is such an underrated touch. 🤌
I’m not a big musical fan but I’m in love with the songs in this show. They’re so freaking good.
You know, one of the interesting aspects of Vox & Alastor's dynamic is that Vox has never actually "seen" Alastor - because Alastor can't be recorded on video without the camera glitching out, and Vox's head is a Television. I wonder what will happen when we finally see Vox and our host in the same room.
Wow, I never thought of that. You're probably right. Good catch! I have to write that into my next fanfic somewhere...
He was probably able to see before he upgraded from analog to a digital set
This was such a good show.
wow Alastor knows how to push Vox's buttons
I thought that was Val
You might say he's a remote control
2:08 me whenever my 30$ tv from salvation army freezes

2:50 that laugh gave me chills
MY. Favorite. Song. In. The. Show.
Alastor: I can’t wait to shutdown that broadcast PERMANENTLY. 😈
bleeding 2:44 Bro's mouth started
Wtf is that dark thing on the "bleeding"
Damn, I expected to Vox to destroy Alastor with TV basically destroying radio in modern age. It was absolutely terrifying to see Alastor easily own Vox throughout the song. Truly the first moment in the show when we see how powerful the radio demon really is
Vox should have listened to what he said to Valentino: do nothing. Had Vox not called out Alastor, it would have taken him time to rebuild his reputation as the Radio Demon. But then Vox came along and called attention to the fact that Alastor was back. So, he decided that now was a perfect time to remind everyone who he is.
Lyrics:
Vox: That fucker is back!
Valentino: Yea.... I thought he was gone for good too.....
Vox: Its been seven years!
Valentio: Still pissed that he almost beat you that time?
Vox: Uh.... Fuck you?!
Valentino: Just saying!
Vox: Things has change since he left town....
Valentino: Thats for sure......
Vox: I gotta send him a message on who's really in charge of things now!
Welcome home. Im gonna make you wish that you've stayed gone. Say hello to a new status quo. Everyone knows that theres a brand new dawn, turn the TV ONNNNN!

2:17 is where alastor starts his solo
Not only is this song too catchy for its own good, but the more you listen to it, the more context clues you get regarding what happened with Alastor and Vox.
Valentino references "That time he almost beat you", which combined with Alastor saying that he'd turned down Vox's offer to join the Vees, and Vox calling him a coward, tells me this:
Vox rose to power about 7 years ago, and wanted to add Alastor to his crew. Alastor refused, and a major fight happened between them as a result. Alastor sees he's losing ground, and retreats, before disappearing. While he's gone for seven years, he makes a deal with either Lilith or another overlord to gain more power, so he's never beaten again. In return, he either has to protect Charlie and the hotel, or spy on them and find out how to destroy them, so that whoever made the deal can take over Hell for themselves. I'm not sure which scenario it will be, but I can't wait to find out more of that juicy backstory!
I think it has more to do with the upbringing. They were competitors for power/influence over the masses and Vox wanted to instead recruit Alastor. Alastor declined.
When Vox called him a coward, he was slandering Alastor, but not showing the full picture. Why would vox invite Alastor? This would imply Alastor was a threat that can beat him and Vox believed it. If he did beat Alastor, vox wouldnt feel the need to recruit nor would he be this pissed and feel the need to slander him so or even make a broadcast stating his return if he did beat Alastor.
What i think happened was Alastor was 100% winning the power of influence, vox couldnt compete and feared for his life, Alastor however isnt a man who just kills, he tortures and broadcasts it. Vox crossed him and Alastor doesnt want to just kill him. Alastor left for some reason which i believe pertains to Vox by instilling false hope of success but doesnt know truely if he can beat Alastor. After this song, its apparent that even with all the power Vox gained, Alastor is still overpowering his influence and it scares him. He messed with the wrong demon and just pissed him off a second time with this slander/stole his territory. Now Alastor is going to take it back and make Vox fear what will come.
one thing i noticed is that vox has a picture of him and alastor standing side by side with vox being ripped out of the photo. vivzie said their relationship is complicated and sad, so i presume they were friends before?
@@crashedsun sounds about right. There's a Tumblr meme that says they fight like exes. They're not wrong in a way.
I really wanna see alastor low effort dunk this guy
