Did you just what? Is what you yes? Did you whatever, whatever you I guess?
The stalking horse was hides the guy and which the pony is a phony was a lie
You say, stuff is way. Way to go. Go away. Who had you was? I yes you would
It was catastro-, catastro-feeling good
As it the drag that has you are is in the bag that you drag behind your car

I will never forget the time someone said this song sounds like if Yoda wrote a Dr. Seuss book.
That's... very accurate, actually.
HAH
Damn
This is easily one of the best comments I've read in a while, thanks for making this song infinitely funnier
Just found ur RUclips account! :D
I smiled so hard when the little scribble dog started talking in the smaller voice, this is great
the scribble dog is my favorite thing ever
how do you smile hard
@@glorp.gleepo I'll ask ur mom
"catastropheeling good" is such a mood
Right up there with disasterrific.
Info for the average they might be giants fan (who if the audience at the Flood concert was representative, tend to range closer to my father's age rather than my own), I believe that the reason why this song has gotten a music video now, nearly 10 years after its release, is because the song has been popular with younger people on the internet, first as something for artists on youtube to make short animations to and then on TikTok. I only found out about this because people put it on a lot of their character playlists on Spotify. Speaking of, it's their third most popular song on TMBG's Spotify (which tends to be a pretty good metric of popularity for songs from older artists) and I assume probably got popular because of the lyrics being nonsense that you can project pretty much any meaning onto.
About the Flood audience-- I imagine that would attract an audience of people who are nostalgic for the original release of Flood, which was released in 1990, meaning people who were old enough to remember it coming out would now be at least 35, if not older.
@@kyrawr83 They're older than they've ever been and now they're even older.
@@kyrawr83 I've been quite used to being the youngest TMBG fan in the crowd ever since I first got into them when I was 12

@@schlega2 if you're being facetious, I'm lmao.
This song feels like this late night conversations where everione is melting and the words can't form phrases properly, and it's just throwing words away and laughing at it, such a specific vibe
It's amazing to see that David Cowles is still animating music videos for you guys!!! His stuff on "Here Comes Science" is probably some of my favorite bits of animation ever!!!!!!
The Science Johns are PEAK character design.
after nearly 10 years they've finally released a video to their most confusing song ever, and it couldn't be more fitting.
Something extremely funny and jarring about seeing a music video for a song from a nearly decade old album- I ADORED nanobots when it came out because that tour was my first ever concert! I begged my mom toto
Pardon my ignorance. I love TMBG but I haven't kept up with them since Flood. Although a few years ago they posted, "Christmas in the Bighouse" And, "Last Wave" that moved into my top five favorites. Anyway, what year did this song debut?
@@27TacitusKilgore this released in 2013 on Nanobots - the whole album is really well worth listening to, honestly all of their music is.
@@27TacitusKilgore 2013 iirc

@@legatelaurie Thanks. I'm pretty sure I'll find it here on RUclips.

when you're not a native speaker and your brain is overworked from using a foreign language for many hours straight.
I love it when my face violently rearranges itself on my head constantly! Feels so cool!
so real
Your so real for this no one ever talks about that!
@@Willow_498 Fr, it's a great feeling
If surreal art had a theme song.
I uploaded a video of this song on another account that I forgot about. Then I came back to it recently and was amazed to see that my video had over a million views. Apparently the song got really popular on Tik-Tok and people were making tons of fan videos for it. It's pretty cool that, almost a decade later, they're making an official video for it.
If r/Ihadastroke had an anthem
"the stalking horse-"
*becomes cat cutely*
This video hits different when you are viscerally ill
It hits even harder when you’re higher than eagle tiddies
even harder if you have schizophrenia
even harder when you add bath salts
glad to see TMBG is still making extremely topical and normal music videos after all these years.

Gaster how did you get out of the void
Surprised that they would make a music video for a song from a decade ago, but it would be more surprising if they released the video for Rabid Child.
Rabid Child video is a need
this is satisfying as weird as it is, the lyrics make sense but dont at the same time - like organised chaos
Its like catastro, catastro feeling good
When too many people are talking at the same time and you’re getting overstimulated:
Man this new deltarune bonus boss is looking good
This got me laughing my ass of.
FRRRR
“Kris what the hell is that”

While TikTok is the most recent place this song gained popularity, one of the reasons its been near the top of TMBG’s Most Streamed songs on Spotify is due to the years of “Animation Memes” set to this song... so glad to see it!
Some stellar animation and skill went into all those videos, check ‘em out after this one for more TMBG love! :)
I’m not on tik tok… it’s trending there? That’s cool.
Memes are stupid.
I feel like my brain is melting but I cant stop rewatching
Hearing this for the 30th time now... still no clue what it's about but i like it so there is that
Nanobots is proof that the quality of their work never dropped, and never will.
So many whimsical and odd topics, and lots of instrumental variety with woodwinds and punk guitar and all sorts of good stuff.
that made the music even more confusing. wonderful
this is so unsettling and i dont know why, but i love it lol
That, my friend, is called Uncanny Valley.
this is not uncanny valley that is completely different-
Man I hope I die before they get old.
A little late now I hate to say.
You hope that they get old before you die?
@@tmartin6300 well, aren't you a little ball of sunshine?
Not really, no.
@@ivanterrible7362 Fine, I’m sorry.
I am in love.
Yes
I love that this has a video now. It deserved one, don't you think?
this is about what i expected for a music video for this song and i love it
Whatever the animation team took, i want some
My theory: The song is 'bout a man a man who's on dr_gs . The lyrics "Catastro--feeling good" means while the man was in dr_gs and "The stalking horse" was when the man was getting paranoid while on the dr_gs.
you can say drugs dude, it's fine. Also i think he either is being kidnapped or witnessed one (is in the bag that you drag behind your car), done by someone he knew (the stalking horse is a thing hunters do -- look it up, and I yes you would) but those are just guesses more than theories
i thought it was a child witnessing murder
I honestly cannot look at this for more than 30 seconds straight.
great
I stared the entire video out of pure intrigue
I am catastro-feeling good.
Wow that dogs been smoking
Dude this hits hard for some reason
This is stuck in my head-
Confusion in a song
i pity the historians in the far future who will have to try and decipher this to find out what civilization before their time was like
Oh look, it's my brain all the time every day 24/7. Can I have it back please?
IT SOUNDS LIKE RED GUY FROM DHMIS
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
DHMIS FAN… 😍😍
what i hear during algebra
YES lol
im only now realizing i commented twice. oops
I dont know what their on but can i have some of it
well this sure was [CATASTRO];; catastropheeling [GOOD]
This song sounds really familiar but I can't put my finger on it...
Otherwise it's a funky little tune. Love the animation.
The animation meme maybe
Sums the song up perfectly
is what you yes 🔥🔥🔥
Someone needs to do a BABA is YOU version of this.

flesh cousin moment
@@tiredshot.1 flesh cousin has some dialogue that are lines from this song :D
@endervoir Based from me reading other comments, the song was actually an inspiration 4 fleshcousin (specifically his dialouge)
i feel like this has a dark meaning but also think this is literally just a silly little song
Listening to a fever dream made by the same guys who made music for mickey mouse
They made a music video for the song... The song was made, like 10 years before this
why is this getting a music video 9 years later? not that im complaining, just wondering if maybe it took that long
The song has been trending a lot on TikTok. It's also become one of the band's most streamed songs on Spotify.
@@floridaflamingogirl3119 knowing this, this video might be criticising tiktok. The video is confusing and feels ill. They even seem to look at tiktok and to do a tiktok dance.

Why’d the girl on the right turn into phone guy for a min
This is my brain during the English exam:
Everybody saying "Who's that icky guy? I'd like to get to know him"...
(I can't help hearing this right after Stuff is Way... TMBG's most cryptic and catchy back to back)
I decided "Icky" is my cat's theme song. He has a first name, a last name, has to be all up in everyone's face, and he is, in fact, an icky guy that everyone wants to get to know.
So you heard it here first. "Icky" is about a cat who wouldn't be born until 9 years after the song was written. Very cryptic. Very on brand.
This made me forget my first Oreo cookie

Reminds me a lot of Frank Zappa's Valley Girl, where he just made a song of every pop culture phrase his teenage daughter said. (Plus some they made up)
It's an absolute Moon Unit of a song

@@space__idklmao I can only speak for mine. I just wanted to make one so I did.
Bro im thinking about what this shit means (if it actually means somn) i kinda think the video is about not being tied to reality and alucinating because of it, should i say somn nore detailed?
Say it I need to know what this chaotic song is meant to be about
@@FantasyTheSloth basically my take on it is:
The two girls were friends, but they got separated and one of em died (the one that appears later) and the first one had problems when finding about that, so she tried ignoring the fact that her friend was dead, to the point of loosing grip of reality and allucinating sbout her best friend and her living a happy life, the dog being a metaphor of the people in resl life trying to take her out of her little world, but failing in the process, until she can't keep living in that lie and she takes her life away too, hoping to meet her long lost friend again..
