LiEF Green Well I'm going to Georgetown and at 18 years old, I make $35 per hour tutoring kids for the SAT because my score was in the 94th percentile. So I'd say I'm doing pretty well for myself.
I get “the postal service did it first, I sound like them but ten times worse” stuck in my head at least 3x a year. Thanks for making me smile all these years later
This was the the first RUclips video I ever saw. My dad showed it to me after I heard fireflies I was very young and didn’t understand it I’m now coming back to it and it’s a masterpiece
RIP key of awesome, some really great parodies at times at least, this one is a childhood favourite and is still incredibly funny and accurate over a decade later
I thought of this out of the blue this morning for the first time in, like, 10 years. It remains as funny and pitch perfect as ever. This has always been one of my favorites from you guys. Thanks for the memories. 💜
How can I call myself a RUclips og even tho I have many accounts I only started in 2015 I think and your account is over ten years...... wow man your a O.G.
Little known fact about this video is that Tom from the key of awesome was out of town during the making of this so Vsauce actually directed and edited this one. He wasnt just in it
13 years later after I made a genuine hate comment about how much I hated this song because I loved owl city so much I have grown to love this parody because owl city is weird, also I named my synthwave playlist "bleeps and bloops" because I do be loving bleeps and bloops.
My friend: "his music is actually deep because he has insomnia and his lyrics describe what he thinks he would see in his dreams" Me: "have you considered he just might be a gay man addicted to crossing uppers and downers?"
Haha, I don't know if you read your comments still but I must say this is by far one of the most hilariously written song's i've ever heard. It inspires hilarity. Thank you.

"The ocean's constellations make me cry"
lol That LEGIT sounds like something in an Owl City song.
Not gonna lie... I kinda agree. Totally nonsensical upon serious consideration, but it definitely sounds like the style of metaphor used by Owl City.
The point is that it sounds good, a lot of music is like that and it's always been this way
1000 subs with no content I also believe it’s a play on the name of the album Fireflies appeared on, Ocean Eyes
I wrote this song when I was high.
i know right
0:50 one of vsauce's finest moments.
I know right!!!
So classy
Myeas
Everyone says that Vsauce but I dont see it
@@smallwood7878 It's Michael Stevens in the habit.
Wait your telling me, that this was Vsauce
michael's finally in his true ecosystem.
0:52 "hey Vsauce, bearded nun here!"
Or is it?

1:35 did anyone notice the little wiggling plastic phallus over to the right?
+Pacman I do not know how meny times I have seen this music video with out notice it but I did see it this time but needed to rewind (it was before I read the comment
+Ofol Pettersson looks real to me
phallus??? Dude say dildo
changeover
Not until now
I think this is the most accurate one of any of them, even 4 years later
truth. This one and the Justin Bieber ones
LiEF Green Well I'm going to Georgetown and at 18 years old, I make $35 per hour tutoring kids for the SAT because my score was in the 94th percentile. So I'd say I'm doing pretty well for myself.
Note to self: never use the internet drunk...
LiEF Green Solid advice.
Tori N. cute profile pic.
Probably my favorite KOA video. I cannot believe it's been 13 years. I feel so old.
Fr I’m surprised it has so little views. I remember watching this when it was pretty new
I liked Fireflies and still think this parody is fun. People should stop taking everything seriously.
Same here. :D
yeah fireflies is one of my favorite songs I agree
Shut up and move on
What is the original name of the song that was parodied off of
videodude23
Fireflies, I believe. I may be wrong though.
10 years late, only found this because of vsauce, but gotta say, as much as owl city has a place in my heart, I can appreciate this XD
as a hardcore fan of Owl City I must say this is a spot-on parody
It's also just good.
This parody is actually the reason I started listening to Owl City.

[0:29] - "I sometimes write with Apple loops."
Adam Young actually designed some of the ringtones on IOS7, and worked with Apple.
He said "bleeps and bloops..."
0:50 Hey! Vsauce. Michael here! (He directed the whole thing)
I really like Owl City, but I still thought this was hilarious. XD
Agreed 😂😂
I miss this era of YT
Me too man
@@seanstarks7010me too man

I wish I grew up in this place. It feels like I'm navigating a forrest once lived in by millions
Word.
"Swimming in a wooden creek, tadpoles tickle my buttcheeks" That is my favorite line in this.
I love owl city’s voice personally. I cane here only for the v sauce nun.

Anybody else notice the orange dido at 1:34?
yes
Crispy Quan looked real...
of course!
@@xl3942 lol yeah a little too real though
The framed photo of Bea Arthur is what really pulls this together.
I'm a huge Owl City fan...and this was hilarious!!!It does sound like a actual Owl City song
This was the the first RUclips video I ever saw. My dad showed it to me after I heard fireflies I was very young and didn’t understand it I’m now coming back to it and it’s a masterpiece
6 years and this still is the best video on the entire channel
ikr
6 more years and the same holds true.
RIP key of awesome, some really great parodies at times at least, this one is a childhood favourite and is still incredibly funny and accurate over a decade later
Am I the only person who still likes Owl City
Nope, I actually started liking Owl City because of this parody.
Nah, I first heard of Owl City in 2011 and I still listen to him in 2016
+Katsumi Nishimura omg! same! hootowls unite!
yasssssssss
They're great as background noise, if you don't pay any attention to it at all.
I thought of this out of the blue this morning for the first time in, like, 10 years. It remains as funny and pitch perfect as ever. This has always been one of my favorites from you guys. Thanks for the memories. 💜
Favorite key if awsome!!
" I asked the strongman in the sky
Why do donuts have to die"
This is some comedy gold
7 years later and it's still hilarious. Definitely going on iTunes and making this my ringtone soon lol
How can I call myself an Owl City fan if I can't recognize the absurd aspects of his work? This was hilarious!
How can I call myself a RUclips og even tho I have many accounts I only started in 2015 I think and your account is over ten years...... wow man your a O.G.
1:44 “What test?”
High school in a nutshell
The lyric "The ocean's constellations make me cry" actually sounds like it could be in an Owl City song lol
Is this an original soundtrack or a parody of an Owl City song? Hard to tell.
I believe it is "Fireflies"..
You see, that's what I thought at first, but after comparing the two, they have many differences in the actual music/timing.
+Milkshake Medic it is fireflies. Similar music mixing plus the video heavily mocks the actual song's video.
Milkshake Medic original
Johnny Teststar It sounds like an original parody of Fireflies and Vanilla Twilight mashed together. Lol
I remembered there was a time where these parodies barely sounded like the original but we're still good
this is the definitely the best acting by mark. absolutely amazing.
Came here for Michael.
Little known fact about this video is that Tom from the key of awesome was out of town during the making of this so Vsauce actually directed and edited this one. He wasnt just in it
hes the bearded nun
At 20 years old I’m just finding this and although that song is super nostalgic this video cracked me up 😄
Been rewatching these all. Got me through some tough times way back.... and I think this one is a sleeper for sure. SO GOOD
Man I miss when youtube was funny. I laugh at this all the time still
After all these years, this still makes me laugh.
Literally rewatching all the videos to see if I can notice the little jokes I didn't notice before.
13 years later this still cracks me up 😂
13 years later after I made a genuine hate comment about how much I hated this song because I loved owl city so much I have grown to love this parody because owl city is weird, also I named my synthwave playlist "bleeps and bloops" because I do be loving bleeps and bloops.
your forgiven, glad you finally saw the light!
Just minding my own business when a small voice in my brain suddenly goes "Watch Key of Awesome". Who am I to argue?
I love Owl City! Yet, I laughed so hard when I saw this!!! x'D x'D x'D
I love this video and all the little subtle jokes within it. The R2D2 button and the Flock of Seagulls poster are my favorites.
0:50 is that michael from vsauce?
Yep :P
No it's master chief from fortnite
"I wrote this song when I was high"
Checks out
I watched this a few times until I realized that this was a parody of an actually pretty good song.
icefrout I'm probably gonna feel dumb when you tell me but what is this a parody of?
KendallChaos Well, it's more of an amalgam of songs from Owl City, but mainly Fireflies
icefrout
ok now I don't feel as dumb cause I thought I heard fireflies but not the words
"A bearded nun~" A wild Michael Stevens appeared !
I asked the strongman in the sky, why do donuts have to die?
I had a dream the other night, that Elmo and I got in a fight.
I like Owl City, but this is a funny video!
1:35 Oh my god...
I can't listen to Owl City without singing this parody, totally nailed it!
I'll be honest. I like Adam Young, but this song's pretty damn good.
I'm a huge owl city fan (hootowl), but I still thought this was hilarious.
0:52 Hey Vsauce Michael Here
I can’t watch fireflies without coming straight to this afterwards, so that’s exactly what I just did
I came here for the bearded nun.
1:35 does anyone else see that???
Hf that explains it
@r1 ❤❤
I'm an extreme hootowl, and i can't get this song out of my head. It's pretty funny.
That was by far the best!
I wonder if Adam ever saw this XD
Still here
1:35 , bottom mid right, is that want I think it is or am I stupid
the nostalgia on this is crazy
Came here from the reggae sharknado comments video.
Me too!
I came here for the vsauce out of context
When he's in the stuffed animals
"Why do doughnuts have to die?" I ask that every time I'm in a Krispy Kreme.
Michael from Vsauce is in this video. 0:51
That was hilarious!!! I had to stop myself from laughing my head off so I wouldn't wake up my entire family!!!
What is with micheal from vsauce and being a bearded nun for these guys
This sounds somewhat like DHMIS now that I've seen it
Is that vsauce at 0:52?
Yes it is
I can’t even believe this is 10 years old!!!! I remember when it was there newest video, I miss them great stuff!
This song is 2010 in a song
1:36 o.O
1:36 when you see it
by far the best channel on you tube lmfao
brilliant just brilliant
damn it, youtube used to be golden back then. Miss you mark and ducky of awesome.
Man, I didn't appreciate this enough nine years ago.
So true... also, "A bearded nun flies through the sky"? I will admit, I totally laughed my ass off.
My absolute favorite im sorry we took you forgranted you are a pioneer thank you for all the laughs
I'm quite the owlcity fan.. and i take no offense to this video. EPIC. :D
I have loved this video for ages just checked the date of the video I was actually at an Owl City concert the night this was posted thats great lol :D
I played this and my 5yo daughter heard it. Instantly wanted it repeated over and over, point made and proven with this music I think :) Well Done.
This might be my favorite KOA.
Glad this popped up on my Facebook memories 💜😂
Came back here 10+ years later because Fireflies was playing on radio
I randomly remembered this song
A bearded nun flies trough the sky, I wrote this song when I was high.
seeing the pie in a vinyl player hurts me as a vinyl collector
after 5 years i still know the lyrics out of my head
My friend: "his music is actually deep because he has insomnia and his lyrics describe what he thinks he would see in his dreams"
Me: "have you considered he just might be a gay man addicted to crossing uppers and downers?"
Hey Vsauce, Electronic Wuss here. And this, is an Owl City parody.
...or is it?
I love this! I think it's my favorite Key of Awesome! :) Owl City is my favorite artist, and I think this is so funny! :)
It's a good parody, good lyrics and all.
But I couldn't tell it was Fireflies. And I've listened to that song a thousand times.
It isn't supposed to be Fireflies. It's supposed to be a parody of the style of the songs, not necessairly a specific song.
Okay, that makes a bit more sense, thank you.
This was the first song / Parody that got me into the Key of Awesome... hope you come back for some new videos soon!
brilliant! it got better and better and better. top work
this is really funny and i think it is great video!!!! Love you KOA!!!
I miss these times
Haha, I don't know if you read your comments still but I must say this is by far one of the most hilariously written song's i've ever heard. It inspires hilarity. Thank you.
I love Owl City and I think this song is freaking awesome!
