- did i include captain hook in this just to make a sea shanty? maybe.
Many years ago, Brian David Gilbert and Jonah Scott talked about how most of ABBA's music could be sung by Halloween villains. This year, they turned that 3 minute conversation into a full album.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Brian you are a true fucking visionary. Props to Jonah Scott but you sir, are the true gift
"I try to reach for you, but the hook makes it hard" LMFAOOO
this album has made my week. im very excited to put the songs on a halloween playlist
I truly love this. PLEASE UPLOAD TO SPOTIFY ALREADY, YOU BEAUTIFUL, DEMENTED GENIUS!
This album is absolutely wonderful both from the humor and it actually sounds amazing. I really hope that you continue doing more music things like this because this was spectacular.
This is technically cannon to kingdom hearts

Oh hey this vampire song seems pretty good- THERE'S MOOOOOOOORE!
@C H A R L O T T E 🌹🥰 I dont approve
oh shit this thing has other colors
This album has been the highlight of my week
Literally how I got into this xD
My literal reaction 😂 all these songs have made my entire month
Wow I'm glad that Brian didn't trade away his laptop for nothing, the gurdy really makes this one
*Karen's laptop
I'm sure she appreciates the sentiment dsjfkls
A what now?
@@LolitaOverlordSiren a book forged in chrome
@@LolitaOverlordSiren it’s like a small comput- look you probably have one there yourself.
I don't hear a gurdy in this one
this definitely feels like brian just needed an excuse to use his hurdy gurdy and it became a masterpiece
There isn't any hurdy gurdy in this song. That's an accordion midi
@@MooseEatsBears the subtitles say Hurdy Gurdy.
@@trophemancer7327 oops! Well there sure is egg on my face. Yeah the drone tone is a Hurdy Gurdy =)
Especially since captain hook isn't even really a Halloween villain lol
@@R03N_01 you know, captain hook, michael myers' older brother
Such a supportive crew! No questions asked. "Oh, you need to sing about missing your hand, sure I'll join". Hook is a lucky man, and a good captain to earn such empathy from his crew.
He did seems kind off forceful about it,he was demanding it at times
@@thewindysage1538 Yeah but he's also really polite in the begining and he makes sure to tell Smee that hes doing well.
No pirate can resist a sea shanty.

Now I also need every ABBA song to be turned into a sea shanty.

AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!!
I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get all the time. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't hate me, dear lou
No offence to you in particular but it’s kinda annoying when you say that you “need” a piece of content. I would also appreciate that if that happens though.
@@AnarchoTrivvy I actually feel the same way when I read similar comments and now I wish I'd worded mine differently because I didn't mean to be directing it at Brian. I wasn't demanding, or even asking, for more "content", it was just me saying that, as a lover of both ABBA and sea shanties, I have now heard the potential for how well the two can combine. I don't need "content", I can go sing ABBA songs as sea shanties myself!
Be the change you want to be in the world.
reasons this is the funniest piece of music ever in history ever:
- it starts out as a sea shanty with no obvious link to SOS but when you least expect it it transitions
- it's been shoehorned into being in 3
- the tempo is totally wrong
- the backing vocals start as being sung by a fake crew trying to join in but very rapidly drop all pretenses and turn into backing vocals
- the content of the lyrics, if you actually listen to them, is ridiculous when sung like an upbeat sea shanty
- hysterically bad pipe solo
- hysterically bad pipe solo is interrupted by rowdy crew
- it slows down slightly at the end
- did I mention our lord and saviour bdg has *put SOS by ABBA in 3*
you fool. the funniest part is that *captain hook isnt even a halloween monster*
@@yupekosi413 i mean captain hook is a very popular halloween costume
It's even better because I don't know any of these songs by name, so when I hear them it hits even harder.
I think sea shanties being upbeat but actually being depressing and miserable is fairly common.
After all they have to be sung at tempo for working, but sailors are miserable
What does “putting in 3” mean? I know absolutely nothing about music.
I think what makes these funnier for me is that I'm imagining these songs in the context of Mamma Mia
Captain Hook but he has 3 Possible Dads and loves them all equally 💖
excuse YOU, in the context of mamma mia this would be sung by captain hook as the child's parent in a duet with......his hand??? presumably????? which is one of the child's three possible fathers?????????

@@driveasandwich6734 Brian, David, and Gilbert. The holy trinity.
Brian really sings "all the love you gave me nothing else can save me" to his hand, huh
😳
Sometimes you just get hooked.
I was just thinking that this song makes a lot more sense if you think of it as Hook mourning the loss of "self-love".
I absolutely hate that i never thought of it this way until now.
When BDG has an idea, does it even pass through a "why?" filter like in a human's brain
Probably not and I wouldn't want it any other way.
It does, but the answer is always “why not?”
I love that this implies Brian isn’t human… because it fits
He's ascended
@@speckofdignity2487 everybody knows he's not a person. He's a ◇°•brand•°◇
This is why BDG left Polygon. He's been playing the long game, and I am so happy he has had the time to do the crazy amazing stuff hes been doing. Keep it up!
It’s a shame that we won’t get any more Unraveled, but if it was gonna put a damper on BDG’s creativity then it was a necessary loss.
He left? Didn't knew that, what's s he doing now? Beside pop sea shanties
@@pflasterstrips7254 what do you mean? He's doing pop sea shanties, that's what he's doing.
@@pflasterstrips7254 he said he didn't want to be limited in his creativity and as employee you always are, even though polygon gave him considerable freedom already.
So for a while now, he does whatever he feels like and it has been a wild mix!
@@Nathanael_Forlorn That does sound like behind the scenes, polygon was pretty restrictive. Which is the Polygon I know.
special shoutout to Jonah and Karen, to whomst i owe my entire life
LITERALLY!!!!
so so true!!
I would sell my soul to the devil if instead of the devil it was Jonah and Karen.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 what if the devil was Hugh Brandity?
@@simont390 I am but a simple brand before his magnificent tweed self
These songs have that quality of being alone in your house with a tune stuck in your head and not really knowing the song so you sing the lyrics as whatever you’re doing at that moment and you feel truly insane.
I was belting Lay Your Blood On Me doing dishes and my roommate came home and was so afraid and confused. Its December but Ahhh!bba still goes hard af
If i had a nickel every time BDG made a song that involved losing his hand, i'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

oh yeah i remember never mind
Thank god we're getting a full album of these
It's more of an EP, since it's only 5 songs
Very good profile pic, I approve
Currently getting another one. He just dropped two more!
Captain Hook giving orders to the crew mid-song is a GENIUS touch
Same vibe as Bowie in "Magic Dance" which is honestly a timeless classic.
"Pay me no mind" 3 minutes later "EVERYONE MUST BE SINGING"
going back in time to show this to ten year old me, who loved abba’s sos and was disturbed by Captain Hook
This is just iconic
This is very specific.
Tailor made
Definitely my favorite song on the EP. The only thing that could improve it is if it was performed onstage with pirates ballet dancing and doing trapeze stunts in the background to visually represent Hook's anguish.
I would watch tf out of that. Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf (Live) vibes
… How much do we need to crowdfund for that one?
Dream Ballet
I've formed this narrative that this is relatively soon after the fight in which he lost his hand. His crew is less sure of what to do, he's clearly very distraught. This is the raw, young Hook we've also wanted to see.
Yeah, this number really feels like it's the crew working through their Dark Night Of The Soul. Hook's the only one crying; everyone else is too busy or too drunk. The captain doesn't want the crew to see him like this. But, dammit. Who else could bridge the gap between master and commanded? Of course it's Smee; nobody else can safely handle the captain when he's emotionally vulnerable.
Not only does the song offer simple catharsis, it reaffirms the bonds of the untrustworthy. These blackhearted bastards don't care about Hook or his hand. They don't have to share in his misery, only his determination to go on, in the face of all doubts and a teenager who can fly.
@@russelljohnson7004 And I'll be damned if they didn't follow his every order throughout. They gave him backups. They gave him pipes. They gave him space to grieve. Truly, the tale Disney was too scared to show us.
In the musical, Captain Hook does have multiple musical based breakdowns. So...canon.
The musical?? 👀
@@ahobbit1273 Peter Pan…the musical
@@literally_a_crow Can we sneak this into it?
Just replace one of hook's normal songs with this?
@@coolgreenbug7551 i mean,,,,,I wish.
ALL OF THE AAHBA SONGS ARE CANON
i think my favorite part about this is despite the pipe solo being hot garbage, the crew is so supportive. they are completely here for that dude playing his heart out on them pipes.
Telling my kids this was The Decemberists.
Best comment
I see no difference.
THIS IS SO FUNNY
I am hugging you gently rn
Help I can’t stop laughing
Captain Hook's inclusion as a "Halloween Villain" is questionable, but this song is good enough that we should all let it slide. Also, MORE HURDY GURDY PLEASE!
Any doubts we may have had have been completely eliminated after actually hearing the song.
I dunno, I have seen pirates on Halloween every year of my whole life...
the amount of acting he put in his singing is totally amazing. With the somewhat piratey pronounciation, weirdly placed accents, captains sloppy singing and the total anguish and pain in his heart and the close but hierarchichal relationship with his crew. Amazing
Hell yeah. The Hurdy Gurdy makes a return!
Is that a hurdy gurdy or is that an accordian?
@@Leighv i mean the hurdy gurdy is a classic pirate instrument and we've seen that bdg has access to a hurdy gurdy but not to an accordion, so its probably a hurdy gurdy
@@bingoccolon idk it doesn’t sound like a hurdy gurdy and accordion sounds can be easily emulated on a keyboard. Plus, Jonah Scott played the background music not Brian.
@@Leighv the subtitles say hurdy gurdy
@@sarahgent2674 Ah, you are correct! In that case I’m glad the hurdy gurdy has made its reappearance in the BDGillbertverse.
This is giving me strong "Captain Hook used to be one of the
Lost Boys" vibes
I'm hooked on this album
I'm Draculaed on this album.
Badum-tisshhhhh!
Hehe
Hook
I SEA what you did there
The CCs are great on all of these yall shouldn't miss them
Bless you I almost missed out on *bad piping*
Omg thank you for pointing this out
"Pay me no mind, I just came here to sing" That line is so underrated
I was listening to Lay All Your Blood while waiting for this! How did I never know I needed this album?
it's been 8 months since this came out and my favorite line in this song is still the "very good, mr smee" after "that damn tick tock of the clock in the croc that i hear" bc it implies that hook didn't even Write his own song about his hand, he made mr smee write it
I thought it was to compliment Mr. Smee on his background vocals?
@@rbl4112I believe that is the case
Wow season 2 of our flag means death looks great
mood
Ok but this is in a different key signature than the original song - this is in 6/8. I love the mix of absolutely ridiculous and musically clever that this man continually creates.
The closed captions actually mention that
Dang, that's attention to detail. Like a sea shanty. Brian knows his stuff.
just a bit of pedantry: you mean time signature, not key signature
His little giggle as he sings “SOS”
@C H A R L O T T E 🌹🥰 seems legit
Props that I can so clearly see The image of Hook starting this song as a proper lament, then getting caught up in the ambience and trying to make an actual performance out of it, and by the end the entire crew is there, rocking back and forth with arms wrapped around each other’s shoulders as they caterwaul.
I hate that this composition exists. I love every second of it.
I love how chaotic this is
Yes it feels .... Genuine
I think we can all agree this happens in the "Our flag means death" universe, Stede and the crew drunk signing on a boat after Ed dumped them all into the ocean :')
You don't know how weird it was to see this notification to pop up on my phone while watching something else only for it to IMMEDIATELY be replaced by the notification for the next song, likely uploaded at basically the same time.
That happened to me to
I was so confused for a few seconds lol
I just want to take a moment to say fuck everyone in this thread(so far) other than Mimic.
Fair enough
Not now charlotte..
I thought this was just supposed to be “Captain hook” like just a vague scary Halloween pirate character like vampire instead of Dracula, specifically. But no, he references Peter Pan and tick tock croc. This makes this video so much better in my opinion lmao
bdg out here SINGLE-HANDEDLY filling this year's Halloween playlist :)
This is wasnt just him
Hey, I see what you did there
Those waves sure are vaguely hypnotic
So that's why I feel sleepy and pliant
i just realized the frase "can you hear me SOS" takes a totally different meaning when its sung by a pirate
This is officially the greatest album ever created and you can't tell me otherwise
"Even if we painstakingly piece together something lost it doesn't mean it will be back to normal"
-Captain Hook
Love the idea that when Hook gets depressed or emotional about losing his hand the crew all come together to sing with him to make him feel better, what a supportive band of pirates!
I like how it's insinuated that this is a regular occurrence, as all the crew member already know the lyrics and harmonization.
can't wait for the follow up cover:
Why did it have to be Smee
I tried to reach for you but the hook makes it hard is one of the best lines in parody music history
By far the most unexpected place to find you. Even weirder, why hasnt anyone replied to this in a whole year?
I've never heard the original ABBA songs. These will always be the originals for me.
god i wish that was me so i could experience abba songs again for the first time
This has so much theater energy and it makes me so very happy
really nice of the crew to help Captain Hook through his grief
pirate or lost boy, all you've got in neverland is your friends.
"the love you gave me" really takes on a new meaning when he's singing about his hand
This feels very on-brand for both Brian David Gilbert _and_ Captain Hook.
brian killed the hook with this one
ha
3 months later and I still unironically enjoy this song. When that chorus hits my heart fuckin swells like I'm listening to an epic war chant.
Jonah Scott’s backing vocals have elevated this
can't wait for these to be on spotify and make up the top spots on my wrapped
"Me crew, I'er have a sneaking suspicion that someone in in 'ere is a traitor"
"What do you mean capitain"
"They tore the sails up and kill jimmy in cold blood"
"That can't be"
"Someone here 'ight be sosiopatic ye see, a bit sos"
there be an imposter among us
@@alexdavis665 you got the joke, my man
Jonah as Smee is just perfect!!! This cover is absolutely amazing
Captain Hook giving orders to the crew to sing while he's breaking down crying is both funny and sad.
ACCORDION in an ABBA COVER I am LIVING I am BREATHING this is so good.
Edit: It’s a hurdy gurdy I was blinded by my pure excitement of hearing something vaguely accordion like in a song and forgot that Brian in fact owns a hurdy gurdy so it makes a lot more sense that that’s what’s in the song. Plus now on a second listen it sounds like that’s definitely what it is.
Pretty sure that's a hurdy gurdy. It's splendid nonetheless.
@@BiggusNickus yeh you are right it is!
Edit: I found them on Spotify and played them all shift. Thank you for giving me a my weekends work playlist!
Is this going to be available on Spotify? I would force all customers to listen on repeat as I work in a pipe shop and we Bluetooth our own selections during shifts. I need as many people to hear these with me as possible.
it says in the bio it's coming to spotify soon!!! so excited hehe
I got it on Spotify but u need to scroll a bit!
Found it! I may have to eventually add a few more songs to the playlist, but I think at least 3 hours of the album by itself is in order first.
Click the link in the pinned comment fam
I'm watching these back to back and for the first time ever, I'm like "no, RUclips, I will not click on a non-BDG video after this one, because I don't want to interrupt the vibe being created here and nothing else will be this good"
there is no way this would be complete without the pipe solo
When you put out lay all our blood on me I thought it was a funny gimmick... I was clearly wrong about your commitment to the villains of ABBA songs.
Omg I love ahhba! My other favorite band is ghoulrillaz with the hit single, I can't feel anything inc.
see, i heard this song before i heard the original, so now this is what it refer to as the original. it just works so well in 6/8 rather than 4/4 like the abba version
My favorite little detail in this one is the very enthusiastic, completely unwarranted “woo!” at the beginning of the pipe solo.
Oh thank god this is a series!
Oh my god this is incredible hook
¡Dale!
Yes, Brian is.
these are all BEAUTIFUL. this is all i will be listening to for the next week
hook singing about his lost hand: "the love you gave me, nothing else can save me"
kinda sussy
It's very impressive how he sings this entire song without moving his lips
"I try to reach for you, but the hook makes it hard"
"The tick tock on the clock in the croc" is way too good for it's own good
I think my favourite thing about this is that Hook just sounds like he has the WORST cold and this is the primary reason he isn't plunging his eponymous prosthetic into random pirates just to remind them who he is.
"Very good, Mr. Smee."
"Thank you, sir."
yo bdg your tallent for surprising, confusing and delighting ppl, all while keeping us truly afraid in unearthly
i fricken love this random AAAH!BBA cover thing its so good
Time to sing this hundreds of times for a couple weeks like a crazy person
I'm coming back to this 2 months later because it's still an absolute banger.
fun fact: this was the first time I ever heard the song SOS, so this is just the default version to me now, and every time I try to sing the song I end up singing it in 6/8
I wasn't so sure about this one at first, but now that I'm on my 5th replay, What a banger!
Omg this will be perfect for my ABBA-themed Halloween party!
I KNEW the hurdy gurdy was going to be used for something! You've been dropping hints THIS WHOLE TIME
...Wait, so if this is Hook singing to his lost hand, and the subject of the song gave him lov--
_SLAMS the emergency escape button on this line of thinking_
Underrated comment
I HAD NO IDEA THERE'D BE MORE I'M SO GLAD I CAME BACK TO WATCH LAY ALL YOUR BLOOD ON ME AGAIN
I want this album in Spotify so bad,,,, I should be able to listen to this exclusively for the next week
Midnight where he is, is 8 am here.
Imagine waking up to these.
I just did, it was very nice
Well after seeing this brilliance, the only reasonable progression is an entire album of ABBA sea shanties
SWABBA
this ultimately demonstrates that the only thing ABBA was lacking was a backing pirate lackey crew
The singing will continue until moral improves.
1:45
i was listening to this on the bus and when Hook shouted "Peter Pan!!" it actually gave me chills lmaoooo
Thank you for your contribution to art
What a masterpiece. Glad we got to hear the full album xD
I have no idea where the idea for 6/8 came in, but it's perfect.
Okay all the others are great, but this one is clearly my favorite. Nothing hits the hype levels of that last chorus after the flute solo
