it took me years to realize that the synth in the background starting around 1:00 was added by Neil and is not present in Cloudbusting; it may be based on a short plucked string riff that appears near the beginning of the song once
...It just hit me, the reason Katy Perry is only in the left speaker, is because she also starts singing in the right speaker at 2:07 with the line "Snoop Doggy Dogg on the *_stereo_*"
This song got me into Kate Bush, which helped me get into Bjork, and Arca, and Joanna Newsom and Anna Von Hausswolf and countless other singers/musicians. Thanks for broadening my tastes with this complete bop, Neil.
3 years and no replies? But this is honestly so true. Katy Perry and eventually Taylor Swift are like the rich girls from high school movies that are bad to the main character because she's not as rich as them
I just finished listening to Kate Bush's entire discography. It gave me a new perspective on music. And none of it would have happened if it were not for this comments section. Such an amazing and influential artist but sadly overlooked in the history of pop music. The fact that I had never heard of this artist until I was 17 shows how underrated she is.
@@Screehcile what I got out of this is that even the worst trashy pop can be salvaged when appreciated for the themes, and seen as a box of instruments and samples
@@Screehcile I agree with cloudbusting being really beautiful, but california gurlz is fine as a pop song Thing is the songs are so different in tone and lyrics that they make this mashup pure gold
Neil has honestly given a real appreciation for music. His mashups show how amazing music can be, especially when someone with talent gets involved. Thanks man.
I originally thought the word Orgonon in the title was just a mutation of Oregon. But then I learned: Cloudbusting by Kate Bush was inspired by a real life device called the Cloudbuster. It added rain to the clouds by manipulating something called ORGONE energy. Neil did his research for this title and it payed off.
This song is about Snoop Dogg building a machine that he believes has the power to turn people into "California Gurlz" but he gets stopped by the government.
Ghast101 There's two distinct sides to it - I'm assuming you haven't listened to it here, but there's two sides. The whole thing is this new wave-ish art pop masterpiece with tons of different influences and sounds pouring in from every side, and the first side is just catchy as all hell, perfect 'pop'. The second side is this crazy half-hour story about a woman lost at sea and her final thoughts, but it's put so perfectly into these totally wild, different sounding songs and both halves together are just fucking ace, man. They're fucking ace. If you haven't heard any Kate Bush I'd recommend starting from the beginning with 'The Kick Inside' or just diving into 'Hounds Of Love'.
Look up the backstory behind "Cloudbusting." The thematic elements Kate Bush wrote and sang about (especially regarding Wilhelm Reich and his ill-fated Orogon method of therapy) shockingly complement California Gurlz far more than you might think.
I want a mashup between Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams and Summer Holiday. I can hear it in my head but I can't find any good isolated vocals of Sweet Dreams.
@@affableauthority2155 Yeah, Neil's WORK is extremely well known on the internet. The man himself is just a master of blending in after providing us with brilliance.
@@affableauthority2155 Sorry, but the voice of Arial in "Arial needs legs" was provided by Ming Doyle, Neil's wife. Also I think that none of his siblings is working on anything with Neil, with an exception of Potter Puppet Pals.

Anyone else think the back-up vocals from cloudbusting sound like something from an ASMR video? It has that hissy, moist quality to it, and I know the original song doesn't have that
It's really high in the high frequencies, which means he probably had trouble with vocal isolation and accidentally got rid of all the lows in her voice. ASMR just naturally has those high frequencies
those are from the song all star stretched across the enirety of the album so any abient noise is a just a really slowed down "hey now youre an all star"
the calm after the storm. so many of neil’s songs can be described as this. love psych and orgonon gurlz. 10,000 spoons and mouth dreams (extro). modify and nightmare fuel. holy bison beaks! and somnolence.
i love seeing all the people in the comments who discovered kate bush bc of this mashup! she's one of my favorite artists of all time and neil cic really has impeccable taste
Everyone talking about how great Kate Bush is and how rubbish Katy Perry is, meanwhile I'm just thinking how great this song is and how well the two voices weave together. It's beautiful
A British girl meets A California girl on a beach and after a life changing whirlwind romance/ one night stand, go back to their homes and write songs about how they affected each other's lives. The British girl writes a song of longing and heartbreak, how their unique love was also dangerous and too good to last. The California girl... Talks about how good she is at being a girl because she's secretly a narcissist or something, i dunno.
I heard this song first, many years ago. Today I heard Cloudbusting and thought, hmm, this sounds familiar but it’s missing something. I have now put two and two together and concluded that everything is bad and I cannot wait for earth to die
Katy Perry has a good voice and singing talent, but the subject matter she sings about and music backing she has is cancerous as fuck. The difference between K.Perry and K.Bush is that one has shallow music taste and wastes talent and the other is Kate Bush.
don't feel gross for enjoying pop music lol, the more music you can enjoy the better. i'm not like, a katy perry stan but i'm not gonna be mad if i can enjoy her work or at least part of it.
yo this gives me such a FEELING. Often when I'm feeling down I put this on, cause it has that feeling of just being slow and kidna mellow in the beginning, but I can't stop myself from hyping up along with the track as it picks up. It's fucking amazing.
My aunt gave me her MacBook and she didn't reset it before giving it to me so every once in a while her iTunes pops up asking me for her Apple ID and I saw Californian Gurlz in her library so now I'm here. Neil you broke me
Idc. Niel is a genius. People probably don’t take him seriously cause his music may seem memey but cmon. It takes genius, a real musical knowledge and expertise to have an ear like this, to hear two completely unrelated songs that no normal person would put together and then create a mashup that actually works and sounds this good. It’s scary actually😭 but i’ll stick to that. Niel is a genius in music and needs to be respected more
I never understood what the Kate Bush sample was until i listened to the album recently and i just could not stop thinking about why it reminded me of California Girls so much
WAIT GUYS- AM I INSANE OR IS THAT THE START OF THE ALL STAR WHISTLE AT 3:24 I HEAR IT EVERY TIME BUT DOUBT MYSELF, BUT I MAY HAVE FOUND ANOTHER ALL STAR REFERENCE? I MAY BE STUPID, THOUGH-
On one hand I feel disgusted by the fact these two songs go so well together, but on the other hand Neil has likely introduced many people to the musical goddess that is Kate Bush and Hounds of Love, the greatest pop album of all time. So, yeah?
Yesterday Cloudbusting started playing over the sound system at work, and I couldn't help but sing the lyrics to California Gurls to it. This song has ruined me
Let me tell you; it's hard explaining when a friend starts humming _In the Jungle,_ and you have to explain why you pitch in with Mansons _"Capitalism has made it this way, good old fashioned fascism will take it away!"_
Oh, I just caught an error at 3:07 - you can hear California Gurls (is that _really_ how that's spelled?? why.) playing at its normal speed, then when it reaches "unforgettable" there's a little stutter between the "un-" and the "-forgettable" before it goes back to playing at the same tempo as Cloudbusting.
for some reason this used to be my least favorite of all the songs in the then-trilogy. honestly i dunno what my problem was, this is probably one of the hardest-hitting tunes on mouth silence
I can’t explain why but this mashup makes me so emotional, even more than Cloud busting on its own, there’s something liminal about the space between the songs I feel like the emotionally raw energy brings out the emotion in Katy’s voice so wonderfully
i have both this and cloudbusting downloaded to my phone. they start plenty differently enough that usually i realize immediately when this comes on that i'm not listening to the original cloudbusting, but sometimes i'm not paying enough attention....
This is what introduced me to Cloudbusting, and that's hopefully the only reason I'm putting it in the "Quintessential Musical Neil Cicierega" playlist
i don't know how to explain it but this track makes me feel like i'm walking around Target in the middle of the day when there's barely anyone in the store
It's definitely dark, although I can hear duck. That's due to our human nature to hear mondegreens in music. Kate Bush is British so she says dark differently. It's pretty funny to think of her saying duck though.
i acknowledge that the most likely interpretation of this song is that kate bush is versing katy perry here, but when i listen to this i hear two girlbosses facing off against snoop dogg and i cant view it any other way

Neil once said that Cloudbusting is one of his favorite songs, and California Gurlz one of his most hated.
I'm glad he's as conflicted with his music as his audience is.
source? not to say you're wrong but I'd really like to see this

it may be very well just be Neil putting it there himself, he's no strangers to mixing original instrumentals and also the entirety of Wow Wow
All these posers learning about Kate Bush from Stranger Things got nothing on us real ones who know about her from a mashup with a Katy Perry song.
TRUE!! those losers probably don’t even know what a cloudbuster is!

I love this comment
Cool recommendations for Arca and Anna Von Hausswolf :]
Ok I literally LOVE every musician you mentioned do you have any recommendations for someone with similar taste to you
GAGGED at Arca and Joanna being invoked in the same comment.
Yo mad taste
Just heard Cloudbusting for the first time and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy it without hearing Orgonon Gurlz in the background :(
Same, GF just sent Cloudbusting to me and I was like, "wait, this is familiar....oh. Oh no..."
you will. it takes time, and most likely listening to the whole album.
Dylan Knows Music a year later, hounds of love is one of my favorite albums and i can’t hear orgonon gurlz in cloudbusting anymore :)

Neil manages to make California Gurlz sound emotional and heartfelt. A true musical accomplishment.
I guess those California Girls were undeniable.

Perhaps the best thing about the Mouth albums is that they introduce me to amazing songs I never knew existed - like Cloudbusting.
Cloudbustin makes me feel good
The song in there with California Girls is Cloudbusting by Kate Bush
you're welcome
And here I was wondering what was the song in there with Cloudbusting.
Cloudbustin' makes me feel real good.
I ain't 'fraid of no cloud . . .

These songs really shouldn't go so well together
A life-changing romantic experience on the beach under the stars.

The British girl writes a song of longing and heartbreak, how their unique love was also dangerous and too good to last. The California girl... Talks about how good she is at being a girl because she's secretly a narcissist or something, i dunno.
Something about this feels so powerfully emotional. Like something that would play at the end of an epic journey something.

and it's legitimately good.

Thank you for introducing me to Kate Bush... I can't believe this treasure trove of an artist I've missed out on.
Yesterday Cloudbusting started playing over the sound system at work, and I couldn't help but sing the lyrics to California Gurls to it. This song has ruined me
when Working for the Weekend plays at work i still sing "Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage" to myself
Let me tell you; it's hard explaining when a friend starts humming _In the Jungle,_ and you have to explain why you pitch in with Mansons _"Capitalism has made it this way, good old fashioned fascism will take it away!"_
Normal Neil Interaction
most people are here for cloudbusting, but I'm here for that sweet sweet daft punk-like synth WOWWWWWWW
me too, it's not available in the real cloudbusting.
Oh, I just caught an error at 3:07 - you can hear California Gurls (is that _really_ how that's spelled?? why.) playing at its normal speed, then when it reaches "unforgettable" there's a little stutter between the "un-" and the "-forgettable" before it goes back to playing at the same tempo as Cloudbusting.
Wow, nice catch
It's spelled like that because Katy Perry's manager likes Big Star.
I can no longer listen to cloudbusting without singing California Gurlz in the violin sections 😂😭
This song is like a sad reminder that 2010 was 11 years ago
(maybe more depending on what year you’re seeing this comment)
this feels like if my nostalgic interests and my current interests hung out at the mall and became friends
My middle school music taste (Katy Perry) meets my high school music taste (Kate Bush)…❤
Cloudbustin' makes me feel good
for some reason this used to be my least favorite of all the songs in the then-trilogy. honestly i dunno what my problem was, this is probably one of the hardest-hitting tunes on mouth silence
I can’t explain why but this mashup makes me so emotional, even more than Cloud busting on its own, there’s something liminal about the space between the songs
I feel like the emotionally raw energy brings out the emotion in Katy’s voice so wonderfully
Neil Ciecerega - Orgonon Gurlz, using the instrumental of CloudBUSTING
Also Neil Ciecerega - BUSTIN.
There's a crossover waiting to happen here
Oh i hope and pray he does that.
i have both this and cloudbusting downloaded to my phone. they start plenty differently enough that usually i realize immediately when this comes on that i'm not listening to the original cloudbusting, but sometimes i'm not paying enough attention....
I did the exact same thing with Love Rollercoaster and Rollercloser
this is genuinely such a beautiful song in a way i cant explain
REAL OMGG
@@meli_lemon_real you.
It's disgusting how well the crescendo works in the final minute or so of this
The guiltiest of pleasures.
The _pleasurest_ of guilts!
Its 1 am where I am and I just burst into tears. Thank you Neil
This is what introduced me to Cloudbusting, and that's hopefully the only reason I'm putting it in the "Quintessential Musical Neil Cicierega" playlist
i don't know how to explain it but this track makes me feel like i'm walking around Target in the middle of the day when there's barely anyone in the store
Unironically enjoying this.
that pre chorus and first chorus are so hot
"the duck, you like my yo-yo, that glowed"?
You're like my yo-yo that glowed in the dark.
I don't know, no matter how many times I listen to this I don't hear any "r"s in "duck"
It's definitely dark, although I can hear duck. That's due to our human nature to hear mondegreens in music. Kate Bush is British so she says dark differently. It's pretty funny to think of her saying duck though.
Tyler Bates I'm a Brit and all I can hear is dark, I've never even considered duck.
Harley Q rhoticism strikes again
Neil turned the horrid "California Gurls" into something beautiful. Thank you, sir.
But really, this is awesome. It's gotta be one of my favorites.
all star backing but somewhat undecipherable
Silver Gunner *inaudible low pitched whispering*
California girls were undecipherable
Somebody once told me... the whispers would console me.
Do the all-star whistle during the end of the song
This song is why I believe Lifetime Achievement Award was about Kate Bush. /hj
i have heard neither of these songs and i don't think i ever can at this point
i acknowledge that the most likely interpretation of this song is that kate bush is versing katy perry here, but when i listen to this i hear two girlbosses facing off against snoop dogg and i cant view it any other way
LYRICS-
[Intro- Cloudbusting by Kate Bush, California Gurlz by Katy Perry]
You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
I know a place, (You're like my yo-yo)
Where the grass is really greener (That glowed in the dark)
Warm, wet and wild, (You're like my yo-yo)
There must be somethin' in the water (That glowed in the dark)
Sippin' gin and juice (You're like my yo-yo)
Laying underneath the palm trees (That glowed in the dark)
Undone (You're like my yo-yo)
The boys (That glowed in the dark)
Break their necks (You're like my yo-yo)
Try'na to creep a little sneak peek (That glowed in the dark)
At us (You're like my yo-yo)
(That glowed in the dark) You could travel the world-orld
But nothing comes close, to the golden coast (You're like my yo-yo, that glowed in the dark)
Once you party with us (What made it special)
You'll be falling in love (Made it dangerous)
oh, ah oh ah oh ah oh ah oh ah oh ah oh ah oh ah (So I bury it)
oh ah oh oh ah oh! (I won't forget)
California girls
We're unforgettable
Daisy dukes
Bikinis on top ('Cause every time it rains)
Sun-kissed skin
So hot
We'll melt your popsicle (You're here in my head)
Ooh oh ooh Ooh oh ooh! (Like the sun coming out)
California girls
We're undeniable (Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen)
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West coast represent
Now put your hands up (And I don't know when)
Ooh oh ooh
Ooh oh ooh
Sex on the beach (You're like my yo-yo)
We don't mind sand in our stilettos (That glowed in the dark, You're like my yo-yo)
We freak, in my jeep (That glowed in the dark, You're like my yo-yo)
Snoop doggy-dog on the stereo oh oh (That glowed in the dark, You're like my yo-yo)
(That glowed in the dark) You could travel the world-orld
But nothing comes close, to the golden coast (You're like my yo-yo, that glowed in the dark)
Once you party with us You'll be falling in love (What made it special, made it dangerous)
(So I bury it) oh, ah oh ah oh ah
oh ah oh ah oh ah oh ah oh ah
oh ah oh oh ah oh! (I won't forget)
California girls
We're unforgettable ('Cause every time it rains)
Daisy dukes
Bikinis on top (You're here in my head)
Sun-kissed skin
So hot
We'll melt your popsicle (Like the sun coming out)
Ooh oh ooh Ooh oh ooh! (Like your son's coming out)
California girls
We're undeniable (Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen)
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West coast represent (And I don't know when)
Now put your hands up
Ooh oh ooh
Ooh oh ooh (But just saying it could even make it happen)
California girls
We're unforgettable
Daisy dukes
Bikinis on top (Hey!) (Ooh, just saying it could even make it happen)
Sun-kissed skin

(California) (You son's coming out)
(Californi..)
Omg

this one is just legitimately nice! thanks neil!
Every once in a while, I'll listen to this song just for its opening.
that yoyo really glowed in the duck huh
i can't believe this song is actually good
holy shit neil cicierega predicted kate bush
*Invented
Why does this get hate? As though the blend isn't so perfect, the optimism of living with living in the now!
tbh this is one of my favorite neil remixs
this SLAPS
This is so good I can't handle it.
