When insults are thrown I always find the words of Robert Burns to be timeless and truthful. I translate to English for here......how dare you call me howlet faced, you bleary eyed withered spectre. You only caught the keeking glass and there you saw your picture. Insults are reflection of the one dishing them out, not an accurate description of those they are aimed at. We all know only our own truths.
@@jam2190 I know I was referring to the lyrics being insulting to some people. It's the songwriters perception of them and shows he is judging without knowing. Probably why his insults are flying, it always happens when someone cannot prove their own perception to be true.
So thrilling! So real. So heartfelt. Your audience loves you. I love you. I applaud you. Thank you for giving voice to what we feel deep in our antiestablishment hearts! ✌💯💜
@@artturner2054 I think the people outside the Capitol and White House currently have different ideas than "singing", given the blatant stripping of rights for people going on right now.
No, Bo Burnham is an artist. This guy made a few bucks cause a ukulele song had cussing. Even he knows thats all anyone cared about. Want proof? Check his channel and views. Burnham on the other hand keeps blowing minds with his talent.
I love the fact that these were a bunch of tourists who might have expected some kind of mindless Maplins-style variety bollox entertainment, were bombarded with some undeniable truths. I hope that they thought about things that they'd never consider before as they went to sleep that night.
I also noticed him and I hope he's having a lovely spooky day 🖤🖤🖤 100% here for all of the goths that don't take themselves too seriously and just have fun!
Tom: Lists of a number of reasons he considers someone an arsehole. Mentions Donald Trump who has done each and every one of them on many occasions. The audience: Don't make it political! I think you're missing the point here folks, and likely also come under the umbrella term "arsehole"
American here, and completely agree. Many people who support Trump like him specifically because he's a bully. No one who stands for peace and love encourages their supporters to storm the capitol and kill lawmakers.
@@dennischiu272 Kabul was an insurrection. Jan 6th was idiots with no plans or guns. I’m quite sure biden voter remorse is flourishing now, although most wouldn’t admit it.
@@bodarville2510 I love how the two responses to my comment boil down to a baseless ad hominem, a lie, and what-about-ism. 1) You watch too much TV 2) The Jan 6 rioters had no plans or guns (they did) 3) Okay, but what about Biden? I'm all for roasting Biden's dirt-poor handling of Kabul, but let's refrain from logical fallacy.
Brilliant! We have many here in the US; I wonder if it is simply a matter of playing this song to compel them to stopping being a-holes. I will send this video to as many of them as I can, with the delusional hope that this will convince them to all be reasonable and nice. Thank you for providing us with a fun tool, which can be used to make someone stop being...a tool.
As a one legged lesbian who’s celiac and suffering ptsd I find this song DEEPLY OFFENSIVE My daughter, who’s a goth anti-vaxer has stopped listening to The Cure.....
Maybe he's singing to a mirror. Saul Alinsky says to accuse your opponent of everything that you are guilty of to confuse everybody. That's not verbatim but it's the gist. It makes the name caller feel virtous and so many people bite every time. 😆
Kinda did! Always led up to 'okay' with a word ending with -ay, except for that last one. Did you notice? Made me stop and wonder where he was going with it.
This song does seem ignorant to the fact the very thing it's calling is exactly what it is doing. It's very biased and really that's a shame. I usually enjoy this man's work. You can't avoid the dark side of history by rewriting it. You can't blame one side for problems when the other side is just as guilty. This song should take it's own advice.
@@darrenk284 I remember wonder woman said that. Then wondered why the movie bombed. Weird how you need EVERYONE to like stuff to be successful. Nah, I'm sure you can support him yourself in your bubble.
@@professorfukyu744 Wonder woman? the character? the movie? the movie that did really well? Besides, no art can be made if it doesn't challenge someone, otherwise it's just a pandering mess, afraid to say anything.
"Waaah I don't like people who aren't inclusive" then hates on people with opinions different from his own. What a hypocrite. I hope Monty Python sues you into oblivion for this "song".
An entertainer has a platform that you as a _critical judgmental_ "fan" cannot take away even with your narrowminded yet almost polite critique. You may disagree, but you're in the minority *THIS TIME* sorry pal.

Oh _please._ Music has been has political for as long as it has existed. Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock rendition of the Star Spangled Banner that he turned into a Vietnam War protest, Irish Republican songs like Kinky Boots protesting British occupation, Rage Against the Machine's entire raison d'etre as a band is political, L'Internationale and the Red Flag are socialist anthems, heck even the 1812 Overture is celebrating Napoleon's defeat by Russia. Music, like all art, has always been a way to put forwards viewpoints, and those viewpoints are often the artists political beliefs.
If you constantly need music as an escape from reality then there are deeper issues you need to address. Art is subjective, no one should have to make their art into a safe space to make you happy.
Lost me when you brought politics and other bullshit in, to bad I enjoyed you music, now will never watch or recommend your videos, should have just left that out of it.
The little girl being danced by her dad and shouting "Okay!" Is everything....
Love this and the bloke dancing in the crowd with his wee one hahaha
Tom is amazing, He just makes all things better!!! Thanks Tom!
Wish I could play this at our local school board meetings.
Or at a presidential press conference
@@artturner2054 you mean the FORMER presidents pathetic "rally's"
Or any job ever. They just banned phones on the floors. So I'm ignoring them.
Or any HOA board meeting
Thank you for the entertainment! I've enjoyed your work for a long time, but I really should comment more, at least for the algorithm!
This guy is a national treasure! Amazing 👏 :)
It's kinda hilarious how many people came to tell you off in the comments not realizing the song is about them.
Oh the irony, singing a song about not being an asshole, while everything and everyone you support, are the biggest assholes, known to mankind!!!
@@jam2190 Well said!

I've shared this extensively, and will continue to. This is a fine song, and would benefit tremendously from a thumbs up from John Cleese...
Graham Chapman should come back from the dead and give this a thumb up
OKAY!
Love it
This guy is so funny. And i probably dont agree with him on much. But the point is to have fun. Love the style!
Who would like to see Terry Gilliams do some visuals to go along with this gem? XD

This is the song we didn't know about but we desperately needed!
You're going to be successful no matter what mate . I believe in you
Brilliant.
Well done
I like this man’s songs especially when there not censored
This deserves a studio recording!
Spot on! Good chap. 🤝
I would love to go to an pub where this guy performs in, he's an clever guy who use music as an form of cursing something that rlly piss he off
Yes! Would be such fun!
Best dedication ever!!
Lovely.
LOVE THIS!!!
Wonderful funny stuff,Tom!!!!
This has made my day!!
OK!
So how much to hire you to sing this outside Parliament?
Or to come to Washington and sing outside the Capitol and White House?
@@artturner2054 I think the people outside the Capitol and White House currently have different ideas than "singing", given the blatant stripping of rights for people going on right now.
I only found you recently but it's not hard to be trapped by your music
I love this guy!❤❤❤❤
Anyone who thinks artists should just be entertaining doesn't deserve actual art.
You wouldn't want a electrician, doing heart surgery, right?
So why would you want, entertainment to do anything other than, Be entertainment?
No, Bo Burnham is an artist. This guy made a few bucks cause a ukulele song had cussing. Even he knows thats all anyone cared about. Want proof? Check his channel and views.
Burnham on the other hand keeps blowing minds with his talent.
Should keep politics out of entertainment.
@@dawnmorris3718 Can you not handle politics in your entertainment? Is it too much for you? Don't want to think about your worldview?
@@professorfukyu744 why can't there be different kinds of artist? Just because Bo Burnham is talented, doesn't mean this guy isn't.
I appreciate the introduction as much as I love the song! My family is very rainbow, and it's nice to find new, outspoken allies.
🙏❤️🏳️🌈
The “arseholes” butthurt in the comments are really sending me XD. This rules!
Stay classy, and rock on, my guy.

Love your work

Hi Thomas. Could you please, PLEASE release your album on vinyl?
Came for the swearing, stayed for the panto.
I'd like to sing all his songs 🎵 what about this Thomas? Can you make some karaoke with your songs??

Sorry I thought it was necessary
Given how much transphobia is in the UK right now, I really appreciate you mentioning transphobes. And kudos for getting political!
& dedicated to the people who claim they are open minded until you have a different political opinion then them! 😂🤣

Great song here, but no need to shun anti-vaxers. Song content works both ways
Sad he makes this political
MAGA! Trump/Vance 24!
If you had left off the intro, all sides could have enjoyed your song together.
Those who don't want that are the arseholes.
I get the feeling that he would prefer for his work not to be used as an anthem for both sides. As is his right as a creator.
He only wants new listeners of certain ilk? Okay. Right.

Love your singing but ya lost me when you dissed Trump 😥 Have you noticed our cowardly new " POTUS"

Totally not a stolen election. Totally.
Trump was openly bigoted which is what this song is for.
I thought you were a nice guy. Clearly you should take your own advise.
I lv yr music but don't get in2 politics bcuz that will make U lose a lot of yr fans
His fans will vote for him if he runs/campaigns. His appeal is so broad & international, don't sell him short!
He strikes me as a good enough person that he'll put doing the right thing first. I don't think he wants to keep bigoted fans.
