I can honestly say this is one of my favorite videos/songs ever. I DM'd a Dungeons and Dragons campaign in which the party fought rats for 3 sessions in a row and I played this on loop for them. They still whisper about Micheal, who he is, what he means to the overall story, and what he got for his birthday beyond cake and ice cream.
Holy crap, I'm not alone. My drunken master grotag goblin entered a dancing competition recently and this was the music. We don't know if there was a Michael present. It basically devolved into 'em downing half a keg of stout and passing out off stage.
If you are referring to the store changes, I think a lot of them are completely unnecessary or worse. If you are talking about HL Alyx, then it seems like they only made that to sell their vr.
I can't believe that they broke up in '86. My wife and I still still slow dance to them every night in the kitchen. Fly on, little rats. Fight the power.
coincidentally, I found these videos a day before my birthday, while i was feeding my own rats. i feel accomplished and i will remember this day for the rest of my life.
I don't remember walking into the genuine side of YT, and I'll be sad when I accidentally leave, but for now, I just want to say *thank you* for making my day just that much better. I wish you both all the luck in the world I possibly can, and I hope you both continue to "just have fun" in this world.

was pleasantly surprised to find that this song was in fact the hit song 'YMCA' by the "Village People", and not a silly edit made in reference to a zaney twitch streamer's infamous movie about rats
And so the Rats who had cheated death in the cemetery outside the YMCA, Chuck E' cheated death once again, and *Michael* the good boy, was forever changed this year.
Been listening to this for every birthday at 12am for the past three years including today! Happy birthday all you Michaels of the world 2024 Edit: Keeping this tradition going strong! I'm 23 today and this hits just like the first time. Happy birthday y'all
@@Maddie-ij8echdjseuu7ujj Omfg I don't know how I missed this, happy belated birthday!! I'm 22 right now, make that five birthdays of watching this at midnight on my birthday
I love this song/remix. It's a legitimately good song. Ok, YMCA is a classic, probably doing most of the lifting. But the RATS elevate it, and... just, the combination of the two is fantastic. It's groovy and makes me happy. I don't know what a "jerma" is, don't care. I only want rats. Rats, we are the rats, celebrating the day with a birthday bash.
I've waited about half a year to play this and the Kero Kero Bonito flamingo rats remix for my dad, whose birthday it is today and who is named Michael. Thanks for this work of art.
We're all having a laugh at "DA VINKY?" and all, but most people fail to see what actually happened here. Reading "Da Vinci" most people default to Florentine Vulgar Latin (modern Italian) pronunciation "Da Vin-chi"; generally that would be correct as Leonardo Da Vinci was actually Florentine. However, if we consider that Italian is just based on a vulgar regional dialect of Latin, we can look at official Latin pronunciation which would sound more like "Da Win-ki", and given that the twins are allegedly of Hungarian descent we know that most Eastern Europeans interpret "W" as "V". What I'm getting at here is that the twins are not actually just stupid and think "Da Vinci" is pronounced "Da Vinky", I'm saying that the twins speak true Roman Latin and know that it's actually pronounced "Da Win-ki" and due to their Eastern European upbringing they pronounce it as "Da Vin-ki". These twins must have been around long enough to have heard Classical Latin, and thus must have been around since the age of the Western Roman Empire. These twins aren't stupid, they're geniuses. They are immortal beings, who simply toy with humans by pretending to be fools for our amusement and their benefit. We shouldn't mock them, we should fear them.
Maybe, but could they defeat the bee, chat and big Pewdiepie, fly to the moon, win America's got talent, make the Jermacraft live action performance and go on hundreds of adventures like Jerma?
Fun fact, literally any rats mashup song is a comfort song for me, like I may be having a massive breakdown but at least I have a rats plastic love mashup
rats rats we are the rats celebrating yet another birthday bash Michael it’s your birthday today Cake and icecream is on its way And Michael been such a good boy this year Open up your gifts while we all cheer

What a magical experience that must have been

I see you too are a cultured person
