some favourites and thoughts "fun fact: this is my first musical reference to the cannibalism of children" "please shoot me" the entirety of lawnmower he isn't even talking about the song, just straight lies "oh jeez, i'm sorry i wrote ^_^" "when i was little, i used to lift my shirt and expose my stomach and yell 'CARE BARE STARE!' at people" "in real life, i wish i could be more talkative. i'm shy." aw "but chico had no knees. i stole them" "the point is... [memo to self: invent point]" "this is the part where i suddenly realised that i own a guitar" "i don't worship satan if you're wondering" "i'm really not sure why this stuff comes out of my head" "why does every song's commentary have to end in such an awkward fashion?" i get the vibe that neil didn't say much during "this hyper world" because it's a more personal/introspective song. you cant just brb on a commentary, neil! "i was sad when i wrote it, but now it makes me happy. happy and sorta sad. bittersweet?" i love seeing him talk about a song he wrote being all mushy about a girl. not many lemon demon songs straight from the heart so it's a real treat. i love these album commentaries so much! even through text neil's personality just shines through. just makes me wish there was one for view monster even more now D:
I decided to transcribe this, for anyone who wants to read through it without watching the hour-long video again! I'll be putting each song's commentary in a reply to this one, since the whole thing is a little long for a single RUclips comment. Enjoy the results of my two hours of work! - _Dinosaurchestra Part One_ - Welcome to the Dinosaurchestra commentary! The tick-tock sound that underscores this track is 120 beats per minute, which means that every "tick" is exactly one second apart. This track is called 'Dinosaurchestra Part One' and it's about going back in time to form a band with all the dinosaurs. 200,000,000 B.C. was around the start of the Jurassic Period. My name is Neil but I do play some instruments. The first of many outright lies on this album. This ALBUM of LIES. The word 'Dinosaurchestra' was invented by me, but has also been invented by several other people. Fun fact: This is my first musical reference to the cannibalism of children. The backwards loop featured on this song is part a later track on this CD. Several track transition segments on the CD were recorded in the junk drawer of my desk.
- _Action Movie Hero Boy_ - Two spoons tapping 'Shave and a Haircut'. The distorted 'I'm bad!' clip at the beginning of this song is from the game Bad Dudes. I've never actually played that game. This song is about a visual cliche often used in action movies. I don't actually watch many action movies. I've definitely seen this cliche several times, though. The cliche: A character casually walking towards the camera in slow motion, as a gigantic explosion occurs behind them. Never batting an eye. Just looking cool even though their back is probably catching on fire. This is one of my few songs featuring real maracas! Many others have featured tofu maracas. It's also my only song using the word 'spiffy', which is odd because I love that word. Time to take it to the bridge. I like the crazy piano in this part. That's my Roland JV-80 doing its thing. I didn't bother to synchronize the stereo singing in this bit, because the narrator is supposed to sound slightly off his rocker. Cue sizzling wick. Then... KABOOM!! / GUITAR SOLO!! Most of my guitar solos are usually very intricately stitched together, instead of played in one take. I'm more of a Milhouse Van Houten than an Eddie Van Halen. I wish more action movie blooper reels included stunts gone tragically wrong. And so ends another happy story in Lemon Demon Land. Everything slows down, and in fades a pretty little synth...
- _Fine_ - This song is half cheery optimism, half ironic denial. It is also three quarters retro, and one quarter Gonzo. That's a high pitched speech synthesizer saying 'One. Two. Three. Four???' Despite the song's hip surfy new wave feel, an accordion still found its way into the mix. The hi-hats are fake, but I still like to imagine a drummer focusing every ounce of his attention on them as he taps the ever loving hell out of them. Here the song's key changes from C to G, but continues using chords compatible with C. (Obligatory songwriting nerdery.) The references to the sun and moon marrying don't really have anything to do with anything. I just liked the subliminal solar eclipse imagery. This verse also doesn't have much connection to the rest of the song, but I nonetheless liked the sound of it. I hope this commentary isn't ruining the mystique too much. Oh boy, there are those hifalutin' hi-hat hijinks again! I like the subtle slow-wah effect on the bass notes in this part. It's hard to think of good trivia for this song. I'm sorry. Oh, here's this part. This part is quite a part, indeed! Oho! please shoot me Fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine. There's that slow-wah again. And the 'One. Two. Three. Four???' as well! Full circle! Yeah. Here's the breakdown. I combined the melody from the choruses with the melody from the bridges. And that about does it. I think it ends pretty soon. Fine, ladies and gentlemen!
- _Lawnmower_ - This song is about mowin' the lawn. It's called 'Lawnmower'. Once, when I was young, the grass in our back yard grew to be a couple feet tall. My father mowed it into a maze. I am still lost in that maze. I've actually only mowed the lawn once in my life. I did such a bad job that I was banned from ever mowing again. But I still think lawnmowers are cool, so I wrote this song. I want to take a lawnmower all around town. My great-great grandfather invented the lawnmower. But trimming lawns was not his original intention. He invented it to assassinate the President. He succeeded, took over the President's identity, and nobody ever knew. Except for his children, of course. The story has been passed fown from generation to generation. Fun fact: Lawnmower fuel is made of cookies. Try some, it's delicious. Funner fact: The world's fastest lawnmower was capable of mowing a lawn in negative five hours. It would not run on regular cookie fuel. It required a special french toast fuel imported from Canada. Funnest fact: If you tickle a lawnmower's tummy it will go to sleep. Funnerest fact: Pope Pius XI owned a flying lawnmower. Bonus fact: The word 'lawnmower' appears in this song exactly 4,000,000 times.
- _Stuck_ - This song is called 'Stuck'. Because it's about being stuck. In a song. See? I can't whistle very well at all. That's my whistling with distortion added. This is the second track on this CD to mention my own name. Other than that, I have no other songs containing my name... Other than 'Hyakugojyuuichi 2003', in which my name is mentioned by a guest rapper... And 'Musical Chairs', in which I name check Neil Armstrong. I recorded the vocals first thing in the morning, so they sound really groggy and annoyed. Everyone just says I sound stoned. (I'm not.) If the character in this song DID have a name, it would be Carlos. And his middle name would be Betty. No last name though. I don't know anybody who actually skips this song. Poor Carlos Betty. It's not like anything interesting happens after that part. ... .... ..... ...... ....... ! ? Oh no. I screwed up another song's commentary. I'm really sorry, kids.

The animation had over 6 million views, and was the #1 rated movie on Newgrounds.com for over a month. Got me a nice amount of CD sales too ^_^ oh jeez, I'm sorry I wrote ^_^ I bet Scruff McGruff was named after a real guy. At this point the fight starts becoming a free-for-all. Batman doesn't use guns. Jackie Chan's magical bullet deflection is my favorite thing in the song. When I was little, I used to lift my shirt and expose my stomach and yell 'CARE BEAR STARE!' at people. It worked too. I could shoot rainbows until I turned 8, when it suddenly stopped. Now... Chuck Norris shows up. When I first wrote this, Chuck Norris jokes were still cool. By the time the song was released, they were getting a little too played out. Luckily, Chuck ends up getting his ass handed to him. So this sort of serves as the symbolic tombstone for Chuck Norris humor. I still want to see more Walker: Texas Ranger clips on Late Night, though. I like the idea of Gandalves the Grey and White fighting side by side. The Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine, not the wrestler. Lo Pan: Villian from 1986's Big Trouble in Little China. See? Chuck Norris was killed. It can be done, by the right combination of attackers. The final winner of the battle is Mr. Rogers. Some foreign listeners may not know who he is. He was the host of a famous children's show here in North America. A very nice, if vaguely creepy, old man who lived halfway in between reality and a horrible fantasy puppet world. Sadly, he passed on in 2003. In the animation, he commits seppuku after winning the battle. I'm sorry, Mr. Rogers. Forgive me.

It's odd. I have the app for this, but I have no idea how to properly..yknow, open it. Anyone know what I should do ? EDIT: I did some digging, it turns out that, sadly, you can only run it if you have the CD Version of Dinosaurchestra. Sad times 😔
It’s something you have to run with the cd version of dinosaurchestra. Unfortunately, unless you have the cd, it won’t run. It'll just show the "play" screen. However, if you’re interested in the cd rip, you can find it on the r/lemondemon subreddit. Just know you won't be able to run the commentary application without the cd itself. You can only install it.
this commentary is a mix of music geekery and random bullshit, also I like The Too Much Song a lot, and because it's written in the second person it can be interpreted by listeners to be about any gender
nail really just kept ripping my heart out and stitching the wound back up only do it again for little bits here & there but at the end the dude just really ripped it out and left it. the too much song is so human lol anyway, no nail, i will not drink cookie flavoured lawnmover fuel. i heard the funky little chips in my pc taste better
37:40 fun fact of the day (that no one asked for) I actually almost pulled out my eyelashes not for that reason but we can pretend that was the reason :)
Is there a version where Neil is talking over this? If not, can you please make a version with that TTS this enabled? (At the top right) Thank you for your help (Or just reading this!) !! :D
i love the commentary for lawnmower as its clearly just neil making up shit as he goes lol

- _Dinosaurchestra Part One_ -
Welcome to the Dinosaurchestra commentary!
The tick-tock sound that underscores this track is 120 beats per minute, which means that every "tick" is exactly one second apart.
This track is called 'Dinosaurchestra Part One' and it's about going back in time to form a band with all the dinosaurs.
200,000,000 B.C. was around the start of the Jurassic Period.
My name is Neil but I do play some instruments.
The first of many outright lies on this album. This ALBUM of LIES.
The word 'Dinosaurchestra' was invented by me, but has also been invented by several other people.
Fun fact: This is my first musical reference to the cannibalism of children.
The backwards loop featured on this song is part a later track on this CD.
Several track transition segments on the CD were recorded in the junk drawer of my desk.
- _Action Movie Hero Boy_ -
Two spoons tapping 'Shave and a Haircut'.
The distorted 'I'm bad!' clip at the beginning of this song is from the game Bad Dudes.
I've never actually played that game.
This song is about a visual cliche often used in action movies.
I don't actually watch many action movies.
I've definitely seen this cliche several times, though.
The cliche: A character casually walking towards the camera in slow motion, as a gigantic explosion occurs behind them.
Never batting an eye. Just looking cool even though their back is probably catching on fire.
This is one of my few songs featuring real maracas!
Many others have featured tofu maracas.
It's also my only song using the word 'spiffy', which is odd because I love that word.
Time to take it to the bridge.
I like the crazy piano in this part. That's my Roland JV-80 doing its thing.
I didn't bother to synchronize the stereo singing in this bit, because the narrator is supposed to sound slightly off his rocker.
Cue sizzling wick.
Then... KABOOM!! / GUITAR SOLO!!
Most of my guitar solos are usually very intricately stitched together, instead of played in one take.
I'm more of a Milhouse Van Houten than an Eddie Van Halen.
I wish more action movie blooper reels included stunts gone tragically wrong.
And so ends another happy story in Lemon Demon Land.
Everything slows down, and in fades a pretty little synth...
- _Fine_ -
This song is half cheery optimism, half ironic denial.
It is also three quarters retro, and one quarter Gonzo.
That's a high pitched speech synthesizer saying 'One. Two. Three. Four???'
Despite the song's hip surfy new wave feel, an accordion still found its way into the mix.
The hi-hats are fake, but I still like to imagine a drummer focusing every ounce of his attention on them as he taps the ever loving hell out of them.
Here the song's key changes from C to G, but continues using chords compatible with C.
(Obligatory songwriting nerdery.)
The references to the sun and moon marrying don't really have anything to do with anything.
I just liked the subliminal solar eclipse imagery.
This verse also doesn't have much connection to the rest of the song, but I nonetheless liked the sound of it.
I hope this commentary isn't ruining the mystique too much.
Oh boy, there are those hifalutin' hi-hat hijinks again!
I like the subtle slow-wah effect on the bass notes in this part.
It's hard to think of good trivia for this song. I'm sorry.
Oh, here's this part. This part is quite a part, indeed! Oho!
please shoot me
Fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine.
There's that slow-wah again.
And the 'One. Two. Three. Four???' as well! Full circle!
Yeah.
Here's the breakdown. I combined the melody from the choruses with the melody from the bridges.
And that about does it. I think it ends pretty soon.
Fine, ladies and gentlemen!
- _Lawnmower_ -
This song is about mowin' the lawn.
It's called 'Lawnmower'.
Once, when I was young, the grass in our back yard grew to be a couple feet tall.
My father mowed it into a maze.
I am still lost in that maze.
I've actually only mowed the lawn once in my life.
I did such a bad job that I was banned from ever mowing again.
But I still think lawnmowers are cool, so I wrote this song.
I want to take a lawnmower all around town.
My great-great grandfather invented the lawnmower.
But trimming lawns was not his original intention.
He invented it to assassinate the President.
He succeeded, took over the President's identity, and nobody ever knew.
Except for his children, of course. The story has been passed fown from generation to generation.
Fun fact: Lawnmower fuel is made of cookies.
Try some, it's delicious.
Funner fact: The world's fastest lawnmower was capable of mowing a lawn in negative five hours.
It would not run on regular cookie fuel. It required a special french toast fuel imported from Canada.
Funnest fact: If you tickle a lawnmower's tummy it will go to sleep.
Funnerest fact: Pope Pius XI owned a flying lawnmower.
Bonus fact: The word 'lawnmower' appears in this song exactly 4,000,000 times.
- _Stuck_ -
This song is called 'Stuck'.
Because it's about being stuck.
In a song.
See?
I can't whistle very well at all.
That's my whistling with distortion added.
This is the second track on this CD to mention my own name.
Other than that, I have no other songs containing my name...
Other than 'Hyakugojyuuichi 2003', in which my name is mentioned by a guest rapper...
And 'Musical Chairs', in which I name check Neil Armstrong.
I recorded the vocals first thing in the morning, so they sound really groggy and annoyed.
Everyone just says I sound stoned.
(I'm not.)
If the character in this song DID have a name, it would be Carlos.
And his middle name would be Betty.
No last name though.
I don't know anybody who actually skips this song. Poor Carlos Betty.
It's not like anything interesting happens after that part.

Oh no.
I screwed up another song's commentary.
I'm really sorry, kids.
Here's some more junk drawer noise.
This time, police sirens fade in...
And explosions and gunshots.
- _The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny_ -
'The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny' is a very high concept song.
It's also my 'hit' song.
I came up with the idea with Shawn Vulliez, an animator with whom I'd worked previously on a song and video about Eric Bauman.
Shaq Fu is a 90's video game, starring Shaq.
One of Aaron Carter's biggest hits is a song called 'How I Beat Shaq'.
Other than that, he has no place in this song, so I killed him off quickly.
I wish I'd made Abraham Lincoln act a little less evil. He should be cooler than that.
Shawn Vulliez, who animated the video for this song, wished I had picked someone easier to draw than Optimus Prime.
The animation had over 6 million views, and was the #1 rated movie on Newgrounds.com for over a month.
Got me a nice amount of CD sales too ^_^
oh jeez, I'm sorry I wrote ^_^
I bet Scruff McGruff was named after a real guy.
At this point the fight starts becoming a free-for-all.
Batman doesn't use guns.
Jackie Chan's magical bullet deflection is my favorite thing in the song.
When I was little, I used to lift my shirt and expose my stomach and yell 'CARE BEAR STARE!' at people.
It worked too. I could shoot rainbows until I turned 8, when it suddenly stopped.
Now... Chuck Norris shows up. When I first wrote this, Chuck Norris jokes were still cool.
By the time the song was released, they were getting a little too played out.
Luckily, Chuck ends up getting his ass handed to him.
So this sort of serves as the symbolic tombstone for Chuck Norris humor.
I still want to see more Walker: Texas Ranger clips on Late Night, though.
I like the idea of Gandalves the Grey and White fighting side by side.
The Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine, not the wrestler.
Lo Pan: Villian from 1986's Big Trouble in Little China.
See? Chuck Norris was killed. It can be done, by the right combination of attackers.
The final winner of the battle is Mr. Rogers. Some foreign listeners may not know who he is.
He was the host of a famous children's show here in North America.
A very nice, if vaguely creepy, old man who lived halfway in between reality and a horrible fantasy puppet world.
Sadly, he passed on in 2003.
In the animation, he commits seppuku after winning the battle.
I'm sorry, Mr. Rogers.
Forgive me.
after reading the commentary on lawnmower, i'm convinced that Neil Cicierega is a comedy genius
Is because he is
There's a BUNCH of references to this in View Monster.
EJ Robertson what do you mean?

1:02:24 now try saying THAT five times fast
1:03:11 emotionalishness, yet another word for the bank
1:03:18 ok unironically that is adorable hh
1:03:46 well i've already made it this far...
1:04:03 neil.
1:05:04 you will never dissuade me from finishing this track, good sir!
1:05:52 aw
1:06:54 :)!
so this slowly turned into just me cracking jokes and reacting to the commentary rather than a highlights um. whatever
i have mentioned neil's name a total of eighteen times in this comment including the one i just said. this was a surprisingly meditative and not-boring experience, i had fun. thank you for your time everyone!
Can confirm I didn't know who Mr. Rogers was
@@redmantis3336 Me too, I live in Brazil and that part just made me go :D
The Archaeopteryx joke is actually so bad, it's funny
I love the commentary for dinoaurchestra part 3
stamps for myself
lemon demon land lmao- 5:16
obligatory much- 7:23
quite a part- 8:44
pls shoot me- 8:51
yeah- 9:33
never would’ve guessed, thanks shawty bae- 10:20
(the entirety of the lawnmower commentary is a big meme so i’m not gonna tag every good part.)
oh noe- 13:48
stoner neil- thanks for putting that into my head- 14:51
no cause I cried during the ending. I was barely keeping myself awake, because it's Kate at night when 1:01:36 came on too. Good timing neil
I am on Lawnmower and he is spouting absolute bullshit I would have it no other way. Some of the album sounds like ideas that only a child would make up and children spout incoherent nonsense all the time
things i found funny
- 1:20 its his *first* refrence to the cannabalisim of children!?
- 2:00 now i know where thats from!
- 5:00 agreed
- 5:12 lemon lore 😱
- 7:12 what a nerddd
- 7:59 sounds like another lemon demon somg
- 8:50 agreed again
- 10:13 no way i had no idea
- 10:40 making music in the lawn mowment haha get it kill me now
- 11:44 gaps
- 12:16 to 13:20 is just lawnmower facts
i stopped at stuck so ill continue never maybe
Neal is truly perfect
Neil, however...
My favourite part was when niel told me to drink lawnmower fuel
this has no dislikes, and that is absolutely perfect.
neil is the reason i started using the word "methnks"
Same
Oh fuck eyewishes hits close to home now that I know what it's about. Ya boy compulsively pulls out her eyelashes cause of the wish thing
It's odd. I have the app for this, but I have no idea how to properly..yknow, open it. Anyone know what I should do ?
EDIT: I did some digging, it turns out that, sadly, you can only run it if you have the CD Version of Dinosaurchestra. Sad times 😔
what’s the app called?
It’s something you have to run with the cd version of dinosaurchestra. Unfortunately, unless you have the cd, it won’t run. It'll just show the "play" screen. However, if you’re interested in the cd rip, you can find it on the r/lemondemon subreddit. Just know you won't be able to run the commentary application without the cd itself. You can only install it.
ClownDuck ah, thank you!
Rip
This commentary is tpart of the canon including the parts where he talks about random shit
this commentary is a mix of music geekery and random bullshit, also I like The Too Much Song a lot, and because it's written in the second person it can be interpreted by listeners to be about any gender
this whole commentary is CRAZY😭🙏
Ok, tell me why Indie Cindy & The Lo-Fi Lullabies and Nothing Worth Loving Isn't Askew make me feel more than I usually do during this?
34:02 “Meow.”
sorry **what**
nail really just kept ripping my heart out and stitching the wound back up only do it again for little bits here & there but at the end the dude just really ripped it out and left it. the too much song is so human lol
anyway, no nail, i will not drink cookie flavoured lawnmover fuel. i heard the funky little chips in my pc taste better
NAIL😭
14:41 I thought it was because of the narrator being completely exhausted over being stuck there 24/7 😭
thanks neil
37:40 fun fact of the day (that no one asked for) I actually almost pulled out my eyelashes not for that reason but we can pretend that was the reason :)
8:50 im giglging at this
18:43 hes so silly oh my god
11:14 i like to think this is how all lemon demon songs are made
is massachusetts actually called the self aware chowder state or not because i just brought it up in conversation and googled it and got no results
you've been tricked by the album of lies
The Final Revenge is a better name for Dinosaurchestra Part Three
23:56 somehow this is the funniest shit ever to me rn
7:01 now im just thinking of ross federman.
tofu maracas.
aaaand once again lemon demon pulls me out of my dark naturally formed or excavated hole or cavity in the ground
What is lemon demon land? Neil I have some unanswered questions.
13:20
15:51 I actually skip this song whenever I binge Dinosaurchestra. I’m sorry, it just bores me.
good! you are doing carlos a favor
@@fold3316 yeah. I actually first listened to the entirety of the song when looking at the commentary.
I still skipped it on this commentary, though I do plan to listen to the whole thing one day. That day just isn’t today.
Same
Where and how did you get and upload this
Interesting thing! When Your imaginary friend started playing, my parrot started to birdcall. Interesting right?
So I assume this was an extra if you put the CD on a computer? I can't see any other reason to be text instead of audio
he couldn’t fit any more audio on the disc i believe and used text to save space
yeah he even said that
Is there a version where Neil is talking over this? If not, can you please make a version with that TTS this enabled? (At the top right) Thank you for your help (Or just reading this!) !! :D
When was the commentary made?
WHERE ARE TURKEYS
