I wondered if this song was about obsessive fangirl culture and the dehumanization of famous people, or just Niel admitting to stalking Bill Watterson. Glad he gave me a clear answer.
@@tacocat6509 yeah about the youmacon thing at least the front row seemed to be feeling themselves,,,, is a thing in concerts that the audience isnt picked up by the microphones
i wonder who else would be, some other nerdy, awkward, pale, introverted, frail, Tumblr, Reddit and/or neckbeard artists? Myself included No offense to the man himself (Neil)
I love that you can tell in the last verse that Neil was so focused on bringing the punchline in the verse that he forgot the regular words. The way he just smiled and continued on is amazing, it almost seemed intentional. As a performer/musician myself, that's talent.
i think it might be the mic. even when he pulled away from the mic a tiny bit it got so much quieter. i think it just wasn't picking up the audience at all, except for the very quiet clapping at the end (meaning it was loud enough to be picked up on)
i'll be completely honest i get why this doesn't get much applause.. it sounds a lot creepier with just the piano and not the other instruments from the view-monster version. still an awesome song though :D
This version definitely sounds much more unhinged, and more like a serious song written by an actual stalker. On the other hand, the version in the full view monster album sounds much less genuine. Anyways, both are amazing, this is one of my favourite songs
I don't think this song is weird, Lemon Demon just has creative ideas, a song about stalking someone and making it sound amazing just proves how awesome he is.
@@CasperSpencer He said it wrong, he was supposed to say "Don't you know I think that you're the cat's meow" but he accidently started to say "Where's the tiger now" lol but he corrected himself
my dad and my aunt are both calvin and hobbes superfans. my dad has a complete collection of every comic ever. like im not even joking, my cousin is NAMED CALVIN AFTER THE COMIC. my dad really like lemon demon. you’ll never guess his favourite song
I’m from the town Neil is from, been to his house, he used to have cd’s hanging from the tree in his back yard it was pretty cool. My brother and I have always looked up to Neil, Kevin and Ryan for inspiration in short movies and random film stuff, so we have always kept contact with them. So it’s pretty cool that you live by Bill Waterson. Calvin and Hobbes is one of my favorites
WOW he's great. look at him go!! his singing is GREAT here, one of his best live performances! this song gives off a different vibe on piano, yet it still retains the batshit insane stalker energy. so good
He sounds exactly like the song oh my god this man is too good. His voice is so perfectly controlled but also sounds so cartoony which fits all of his silly satire songs perfectly. I am actually so obsessed with Lemon Demon and Neil. Bill Watterson being one of my favorite songs, this video is too good🩷
That moment where he messed up a part of the lyrics towards the end 💔 Must've been awkward. Even so, he still nailed it! Shame that so little people clapped. I love this song, I've been playing it 24/7 for a week straight and was blessed to find this video. It's so fun, creepy and the rythm is so addictive! Never change, Neil 💙💜🧡❤️💛
I remember listening to this song a few years ago when I didn't really understand some of the lyrics so I thought it was a really cute love song until I listened to it again recently
Its just hilarious to me that he's singing about stalking a artist while people are just casually listening to him, why is that so funny to, I honestly have no idea
wow i can’t believe how realistic this hologram is! it almost looks like neil cicierega aka lemon demon is actually real! luckily we all know he is an entirely fictional character created by bill watterson
"so I wrote a song about stalking him"
just straight up. no laughter. completely sincere.
i love Neil

Criminal how little applause this gets from the audience
this comment made me clap for him after he was done
T r u e
They took "Not clapping between the movements" too far!! Not good.
It’s possible the mic just doesn’t pick it up since it seems there’s only the one.
It should be a felony
The words are completely serious. Neil actually stalks Bill Waterson.

make it a viral trend
like vaporwave, pastel goth or Witch House
This is his best live performance that I've seen. Usually he's kind of off key.

He's so talented. Since he only has one keyboard using a piano voice this song sounds way more jazzy than usual
Those are some serious keyboarding skills.
He seems much more confident here compared to Youmacon,.
i hope he tries doing one more concert in the future.

This was made in 2008. I'm not sure if it's editing.
fuck i wish he knew how iconic and totally awesome he is
The reason you can't hear the audience make noise at all is because neil is preforming for ghosts
or maybe we're the ghosts
my guy really is wearing a fedora
this crowd annoys me so much. im all alone in my room and im cheering on neil more than these guys in the video

This is so much better than the live concerts for early spirit phone songs.
I think he does better with a smaller audience.
he has been known to do do better preforming with smaller audiences
Because he was forced to perform them, so he was very clearly pissed off. He was also recorded without his consent I believe.
Thank you Neil for showing this level of confidence, means a lot to all us fellow homeschooled kids B)
Neil's the patron saint of homeschoolers.
I live like a town or two away from where Bill Waterson currently lives, so I’m always on the lookout for Neil
