Alright well, I know it’s been said to death, but the man has fucking genius. I just cried to one of the prettiest melodies about one of the oldest jokes in the world.
The ending seems so morbid and sad at first, but I actually felt like overall this was a very hopeful song. Regardless of what hits us halfway through the journey, it is essential to believe that we will make it to the other side, no matter what. The promise of the other side of any situation is in itself the best reason to try and cross. Love this song and love your reaction!
I take the ending to be open to interpretation, kind of depending on your perspective or mood. Because he sings about choosing to believe she made it to "the other side" which could mean the other side of the road OR the other side, as in the after life. Great stuff.
Why am I crying? He is amazing! The emotion... I feel so silly! This song is about a chicken...or is it? Thank you for exposing me to this. As a wife and mother...it hit! Same, Brad! Rooting for that hen!
it means different things to different people. i think in Bo's case it's talking about his dreams of being famous, but then when he got it he didn't want it anymore
I had a similar reaction, I found it very weird to say the least at first. It must be at least in part the beautiful melody that did it but I was tearing up by the end. I'm somewhat trending towards the depression side of things at the moment though so that might certainly be part of it. On the other hand, I guess we're all trying to get to the other side when things are tough so maybe that was what resonated with me too..
@@Zabiru- While I don't lean toward the depression side, I can tell when my emotions get to me more on some days than others and I allow myself to cry more than I normally would. Maybe that is leaning more toward the depression side, but regardless, I agree about the beautiful melody and I agree about the observation that we all want to get to the other side and we normally wish the same for others. Sorry about the run on sentence, but I'm just trying to say that I agree with what you are saying. :)
@@Tulip_bip This is the fun thing about great art. You can interpret this song in so many different ways. Could just be a silly song, could be song saying you shouldn't chase your dreams because of the danger of losing the things you have. For me it's the opposite, you should chase those dreams. You might lose people along the way but that's worth it if those people just keep you locked in the coop
That use of Seventh chords in the second verse! The Interpretation of a Rooster's call as "the chicken's husband screaming." His rich theatrical vocals! Double meaning of "the other side" It's too much.
I think one thing gets lost when watching Inside: how amazing Bo’s editing skills are. We can respect his songwriting, his singing, his comedy, his performances and visuals… but the Outtakes really show just how much content he actually made, how much he repeatedly redid it to fine tune it and how certain, very specific, cuts had to be made. Inside has a narrative; a story running through it of how both Bo (and society) were losing their minds during the pandemic. And while I know this song is beautiful and thought-provoking, I actually don’t think it would have aided in the narrative. Inside is what it is because of the editing decisions as much as everything else.
The Outtake Video was as entertaining as his special and we can only imagine what other songs he made he deemed not good enough but are probably as good as the others. Yes his Skill in editing is phenomenal, you're getting sucked into Inside and the Outtakes just by his understanding of a good narrative. He is one of those "perfect package" Entertainers.
His melodies and chord progressions evoke such emotion. He has such a power to musically manipulate in the best of ways. Your enjoyment made me smile. Thank you!
@@chand911 no other version of this song exists in the Netflix "inside" special, that was this person's point, it somehow didn't make the cut even though its amazing and should have been
this song seriously hasn't left my brain since I first watched the outtakes a week ago. it's hauntingly beautiful. "Look Who's Inside Again" was also my favorite from the original album but this one may just eclipse it. just breathtaking
Note how he abruptly ended the song on that note? It leaves you waiting for a next melody. You can either say that it's as abrupt as the way the chicken passed away or it's Bo saying you should make your/the chicken's future yourself. Very nice song
This song would have completely changed the final takeaway feeling from the special. "Inside" was largely about anxiety and the Pandemic. This song, while incredible, just doesn't match that tone. It was a great call he made, putting it in the Outtakes! EDIT: Yes, it COULD be taken as a "we will get to the other side of the road with this Pandemic or die trying." So there's that, I guess.
In "Goodbye" he has a line, "you pick the road, I'll meet you on the other side" which it seems was designed as a callback to this song. But without it, the line still works since I take it to mean we'll wave at each other from opposite sides of the street because social distancing.
Your face at 6:08 was everything and exactly right. I loved watching how much you appreciated the brilliance of Bo's song. He truly is musically gifted in so many ways.
Both “That Funny Feeling” and “The Chicken” seem to be correlations of each other in that they’re both the only entirely serious songs in the two specials (Inside and the Outtakes). I love that he kept it out though because of how the balance of impact would be off.
To me, its a story bo tells using the chicken as a metaphor for people who basically hate their lives and want "escape" to make a better life for themself and even tho there are obstacles in life, sometimes the journey we take is worth it. This song is very relatable and one of my favorite bo burnham songs!
For me, the lyric “A life of brighter days… a width of road away” is especially meaningful. Like, it feels as though no matter how far I’ve come, the thing I need or what is just that much further away. Not far enough to turn around and go back, but also not close enough to feel confident in my ability to achieve it. This song is devastating in the best way possible.
This song is an extremely cleverly metaphorical message to express how difficult it is for people to live there best life when confidence and motivation is at its lowest. I absolutely love Bo Burnham. He is a pure genius of our time!
Well said. I get stuck on the line "dreams of becoming a dentist" since hen's don't have teeth. Is it an impossible dream? A ridiculous goal? Being naive for something impractical or that will never really happen? Someone else's dream? I don't know but besides being a great rhyme it gets me that she leaves her family for this.
I made a video about this song because I cried the first time I heard it. The first time I heard the line,"To the sound of her husband's scream" I was tired, and I thought about a Roosters head being cut off to be turned into poultry (I later noticed he meant a rooster morning call) and that made it so much sadder for me 😂 so I added it into my video in hopes that I could get my family to cry. GREAT video dude, I love how you don't pause it every 3 seconds, it lets us hear the song before you talk about it, love it.
Your reaction was exactly my reaction. I laughed at the chicken crossing the road and then sat there in shock as Bo once again made it super deep and I get chills on the "other side"...like BO. BO!!!
This is my probably 5-6th time listening to it now and it brought me to tears with no hesitation. What's funny is when I was watching it the first time I fucking DIED laughing when he said "a chicken," at the song intro. But this time my brow was furrowed as the song started since I knew what was coming. Bo is an incredible artist.
I think that bo's ability to find art, and meaning in the mundane is really unmatched currently. His magnifying glass is thicker and stronger than we can even know. I think that Carlin would turn over in his grave for the chicken. In a good way.
Wow! He never fails to amaze me! So many deep and strong feelings inside of me while listening to him! Going from smiles to crying, and everything in between 😊😭. And all for ... a chicken?!?! Or is it? Only Bo!! Well, I'm an optimist, so I'm rooting for the chicken, she made it, yeah!! 😍 First time you didn't have to bleep any part of a Bo song! 😉
I can never shake the feeling that "waking up to her husbands screams" could be referring to PTSD, or it could be a rooster... knowing Bo it's probably both.
This was the final song/joke of his final special/performance and Bo, the comedian, ends with his version of 'Why did the chicken cross the road'. This is so meta
The references. . .OMG! Walking to Memphis = Walking in Memphis; Becoming a Dentist = The elf on the Rudolph TV special dreams of becoming a dentist; The Chicken is Little = Chicken Little. . .I"m sure there are more that I haven't caught but WOW!
She either got to the other side of the road, meaning a better, more fulfilling life; Or she got to _the other side_ as in, heaven. Which would be an escape from her unfulfilling life.
My interpretation is that the chicken is us trying to reach our dreams but most of us dies before we could reach our dreams and the question is what would happen if we did reach our dreams before our death
Another aspect of this song that I love (other than the obviously beautiful and touching bittersweet hopefulness) is that "why did the chicken cross the road" is one of the oldest and most basic jokes. It is both a comment on life and on comedy. In fact, I feel that it draws direct parallels and implies that the very feeling we get from the song is the very point of comedy, or is at least to Bo.
Check out the Dissect podcast. They just did an episode on the Outtakes and they had a cool take on this song being an answer to Bo’s pondering on what art is worth. The message being that just the effort of trying makes it have value. So as an allegory for Bo and his art, the attempt is what’s important even if the art doesn’t have value.
I REALLY love this song! I think he wrote the lyrics and music well and overall just made me think! I think at the end when he was talking about the chicken making on the other side and thats why she did it is that she wanted to die. Like making it to the other side meant death or something. Like she couldn't handle it anymore maybe... IDK, maybe I'm just read into things too much and I am bad at wording things lol! Either way, Loved your reaction to this song!
That was my first reaction too....what? How? ❤ I hope he gets another Grammy for that one. Also, there's a track he only hummed in these outtakes but he put on the Deluxe album called 1985. It's one if my favourites and I really hope you react to it even though there's no video
Something I don't think enough people understand who live in cities. Chickens are not deer, or raccoons, or armadillos. They might be birdbrains, but those brains aren't usually drying in the sun after meeting the grill of a Cadillac. Unlike the aforementioned. So rest assured, Mommy Dearest made it across. Now think of the children daddy has to tend to, thus not seeing to his duties while mom eats bugs aplenty and adventuring in the sunlight.
I think we have to believe she got to the other side because if we all assume she died chasing freedom we will all become to scared at the chance of death that we let it outweigh the chance at freedom
My Interpretation: The road is a metaphor for the things in our lives that are holding us back. We are all the chicken, just trying to work up the courage to get to the other side of the road. Or maybe its just a song about a chicken 🤣🤣
I interpreted that the chicken represented bo himself, his goal in the special done. And to be able to walk out of the room, but he failed to cross the road, now giving us this the outtakes the song living in the future which speaks of his opportunities if he escapes and the chicken speaks of if he could escape, from his career or the special it self. Or I’m just reading into things to much and I’m really bored
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: To get to the other side! Everyone: Yup ha ha, that's the most over-used joke in history there. Bo: Actually, it goes a lot deeper than that...
The thing about some of this outtakes with amazing quality that didnt make it to the special may be because they didnt fit with the story Bo was trying to tell.
I think that it's a metaphor about domestic violence cuz like "she woke up on hers husband's screaming" I know that her husband is a rooster but then there is the ending and that is that the chicken either died or it ran away and yeah. For me it is about that let me know what y'all think it is about that
I don't think so. Screaming to wake the up is a roosters job. To me it adds to the monotony of her life as mother and wife as she dreams of an impossible, impractical life. Becoming a dentist. Chicken do not have teeth. For me, it's about the grass being greener on the other side of the fence or road in this case. But art is subjective though. I think she got to the other side.
@@NekoNyeil I'm not familiar with that story, but I did watch a lot of nature shows growing up. And I know that Bo Burnham likes to throw in a dark twist for comedy. Seems like he toned it down and went the Legend Of Sleepy Hollow route instead.
![[First Time Hearing] The Chicken - Bo Burnham (from THE INSIDE OUTTAKES - album out now) - REACTION](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hiRhHstByOE/mqdefault.jpg)
the song is sadder when you think of the line in goodbye where he says “you can pick the street, i’ll meet you on the other side” :,(
oh my god
Woooow I never put that together. Thank you! That really does add a whole nother layer
Bo asked the question "Why did the chicken crossed the road" and his answer is a beautiful heartbreaking song
a better question would be “why did austin full not learn english” for sure
@@Tomzin20 a better question is why are you like this
@@Tomzin20 "hey mom, look, i'm being a stupid fuck on the internet!"

It feels hopeful to me

@@-piras I'm glad you're taking that optimistic perspective from it and I hope things get better for you soon!
The chicken only "dies" because, in the face of adversity, it freezes in fear and doesn't move forward. I think that's a relevant part of his message.
I agree! The crossing of the road ahead is a frightening one and Bo encapsulates the message perfectly in words and song.
Why am I crying? He is amazing! The emotion... I feel so silly! This song is about a chicken...or is it? Thank you for exposing me to this. As a wife and mother...it hit! Same, Brad! Rooting for that hen!

Well it's outtakes, and I'm not sure why you think that is a reflection of quality.

I feel like Andy in the Office. RESOLVE THE MELODY IT FEELS LIKE IM HOLDING IN A SNEEZE
The bar is now set for an answer to why the chicken crossed the road.
Bo has to be the only person who can write a song about a chicken crossing the road and making it about hope and striving for a better life
This song is a microcosm of Bo as an artist. A beautiful heartrending song about the dumbest joke ever.
The more I listen to it, the more beautiful it is.
I can never shake the feeling that "waking up to her husbands screams" could be referring to PTSD, or it could be a rooster... knowing Bo it's probably both.
I love your expressions as you appreciate the lyrics and melody Brad. You're doing what we're all doing!
"I was rooting for that chicken" lmao
Bo is one of the greatest artists of this century and arguably one of the greatest thinkers in the history of humanity.
Well yes, I am crying about a chicken crossing the road.

This song DEF should have been in the main special. This made me sit as you did mouth wide open going ohhh myyy god
Bo's Genius and Creativity >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This guy can Do it DO IT!
Not hoping the chicken died, but saying the chicken crossed the "other side"
Bo is a genius.
Thank you for a real and uninterrupted reaction. Cheers
My interpretation is that the chicken is us trying to reach our dreams but most of us dies before we could reach our dreams and the question is what would happen if we did reach our dreams before our death
This accually ended up beeing my favorite bo burnham song
We were ALL rooting for that chicken.
Your faces are exactly why I love watching reaction channels
A song about the suicide joke we tell the kids... I'm in
Another aspect of this song that I love (other than the obviously beautiful and touching bittersweet hopefulness) is that "why did the chicken cross the road" is one of the oldest and most basic jokes. It is both a comment on life and on comedy. In fact, I feel that it draws direct parallels and implies that the very feeling we get from the song is the very point of comedy, or is at least to Bo.
I feel like this was the most appropriate reaction to this song ever. Just hands on head and mouth open lol
Yeah this is top 5 songs of the whole special and 5yrs is right behind it
Check out the Dissect podcast. They just did an episode on the Outtakes and they had a cool take on this song being an answer to Bo’s pondering on what art is worth. The message being that just the effort of trying makes it have value. So as an allegory for Bo and his art, the attempt is what’s important even if the art doesn’t have value.
Listen to this song, go back and listen to the Kanye rant and tell me the burrito wasn't a metaphor for his life.
I was SO hoping you’d do this one. He finally answered the age old question. 🤘🏻
I REALLY love this song! I think he wrote the lyrics and music well and overall just made me think! I think at the end when he was talking about the chicken making on the other side and thats why she did it is that she wanted to die. Like making it to the other side meant death or something. Like she couldn't handle it anymore maybe... IDK, maybe I'm just read into things too much and I am bad at wording things lol! Either way, Loved your reaction to this song!
this is actually about a friend of his he lost its done through a comedic lense which is just how he processes things
Bo: "I wonder if I can make people cry with a chicken cross the road joke"
Bo:
That was my first reaction too....what? How? ❤ I hope he gets another Grammy for that one.
Also, there's a track he only hummed in these outtakes but he put on the Deluxe album called 1985. It's one if my favourites and I really hope you react to it even though there's no video
Something I don't think enough people understand who live in cities. Chickens are not deer, or raccoons, or armadillos.

Stunning, like you said.
I think we have to believe she got to the other side because if we all assume she died chasing freedom we will all become to scared at the chance of death that we let it outweigh the chance at freedom
Agree! Just pure heart and soul ❤
My Interpretation:
The road is a metaphor for the things in our lives that are holding us back. We are all the chicken, just trying to work up the courage to get to the other side of the road. Or maybe its just a song about a chicken 🤣🤣
Her dream of becoming a dentist is like those impossible, impractical dreams/goals we have.
Chicken don't have teeth.
I interpreted that the chicken represented bo himself, his goal in the special done. And to be able to walk out of the room, but he failed to cross the road, now giving us this the outtakes the song living in the future which speaks of his opportunities if he escapes and the chicken speaks of if he could escape, from his career or the special it self. Or I’m just reading into things to much and I’m really bored
Very likely, he even mentions in the final song "Goodbye" : "pick the street and I'll meet you on the other side"
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To get to the other side!
Everyone: Yup ha ha, that's the most over-used joke in history there.
Bo: Actually, it goes a lot deeper than that...
Also I was excited to see your reaction to this song specifically so thank you.
bo is so insane good
Just subscribed, liked and set alarm👍👍
The Road is knowingly overcoming fear
It's like everyone wants freedom but there is a big road we need to cross first. Not everyone make it...sadly
just liked and subscribe on that intro alone!
Why am I crying to a song about a chicken?
Ya, I know, right, me too.
You should react to The Future it’s at the beginning it’s so good I’m my opinion and it would be cool to see what you think.
I finally get the joke. To get to the other... side
The thing about some of this outtakes with amazing quality that didnt make it to the special may be because they didnt fit with the story Bo was trying to tell.
Diggin' the NF shirt!
I mean "wow" , right?
Great voice! Strange song, but it makes one think of different scenarios and decisions in our lives. Weird Dude! Blessings!
A joke did not need to make me cry
This song broke me
Hey pal... I like your shirt.
bo managed to make me feel sad for a chicken ...
I think that it's a metaphor about domestic violence cuz like "she woke up on hers husband's screaming" I know that her husband is a rooster but then there is the ending and that is that the chicken either died or it ran away and yeah. For me it is about that let me know what y'all think it is about that
I don't think so. Screaming to wake the up is a roosters job. To me it adds to the monotony of her life as mother and wife as she dreams of an impossible, impractical life. Becoming a dentist.
Chicken do not have teeth.
For me, it's about the grass being greener on the other side of the fence or road in this case.
But art is subjective though.
I think she got to the other side.
He just leaves us hanging. I was expecting a fox get her just as she tasted freedom.
