You don't know. They made the soundtrack and the video separately, which is _very_ obvisous in some scenes. You don't know if they actually used a whistle for the recording.
This song makes me feel connected to home. Everyday, every second I think of this song. It makes me feel like my true self… a birdplane. I wish I found this song earlier because I truly found who I am after hearing this song. I love life now. It is beautiful. Cheese is beautiful. Just like a birdplane. Thank you for my ted talk.
@@falchions_n_foccacia Funny thing is when I fell in love with this song I still identified as a guy, then I rewatched it after starting HRT and was like "hold up....".

Gotta say, I once played this at an open night coffee house once, just me singing and playing on the piano. Gotta say, it was a big hit. Big ups to you guys for writing this song.
That was beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes! The intro I found myself singing, "If I could, then I would, I'll go where ever you will go." I don't know where I got that from but it fits perfectly!
This band is famous for their ‘4 chord song’ which is a medley of many pop songs that use the same chord sequence. Wherever you will go is in that medley and so is this song. You probably heard that and remembered both of the songs
Listening to this song again, after so many years, and knowing how Jordan has been feeling for so long... It's impossible to think this song didn't have a deeper meaning we never noticed (or did but shrugged off because how could we have known?) Anyway, I'm so glad Jordan can be happy and able to finally be herself~
Average life expectancy of a plane is 20-30 years. A large bird is 30-50 years. Then you gotta figure it's really healthy to be mixing up the gene poole so ... I'd say he's gonna be fine for about another 60 years.
Hey, he looks a lot like the man. Not just that but his antics and these lyrics are quite similar. Don't be a hater dude. It's not necessarily funny. Just a real comment.
To those still in the closet, afraid to tell the world they are a birdplane, lemme tell you we are here to support you. Do not be afraid to show the beauty of your true colors. #BirdplaneLivesMatter
I uhhh...... I may have done a few birdplane-like things before.....under the influence of alcohol, of course. NEVER would I do such unnatural things sober!
This was probably the most epic RUclips war ever... RUclips debates are stupid, but I give the most highest of fives to the kids that stopped the fight. You sir, have the ChamoCat love. The highet of all honors. I love you
Bird and plane go together quite nicely. It's the human world that one cannot quite feel at home in. Imagine what attack helicopters are going through.
Holy shit I didn't even remember this song at all untill I heard that "birdplane" bit in a mashup and the memories came flooding, the lolxdsorandom era was truly something else for it bred shit like this.
What an awesome song, I love these guys. Pinnacle parody is purity. They’ve created a ballad that is so irreverent,ironic but hits emotionally. They deserve to sit at the high council with sacha cohen, Louis Theroux, trey parker/Matt stone and friendlyjordies.
Thisis Myname This song, or at least some adapted version of it, was used in Vancouver Canucks player Rick Rypien's tribute video. He died some years ago.
I think the idea here is that some people are very different from each other. And even though how much unique we are, we will be criticized and hated by others. But there will always be people who will accept us.
Sometimes this song just pops up in my head and I end up laughing hysterically. Never gets old.
Literally just had that happen rn
ima muthafuckin bird plane
that whistle solo was on point!

It was like watching John Popper of Blues Traveler, man. They're both maestros of their chosen instruments. :)
The greatest performance of a slide toucan whistle ever recorded.
And the only one

Lmao this is my favorite comment 💀
Oh hi there birdplane, I’m an apache attack helicopter
I felt the same. I got bullied as a highschool as I fit neither the flocks of birds nor planes .. I'm definitely a birdplane
Glad I'm not the only one
I feel like he lost a bet, so he had to go out into public dressed like, well, a birdplane
actually it's about being trans, also sorry for replying to a 6yr old comment

4 chords man.
i agree
When he said that he's a bird plane, it hits hard.
yes
It’s crazy how u laugh at it but then learn it is actually a really heartbreaking song
I randomly started singing this and my boyfriend looked at me like I was crazy.
I showed him this.
Now he too, sings of the birdplane.
Well done, mam. Well done.
Dude the way you worded that makes it sound like an old Viking legend like he now two speaks of the bird plane
@@Unimportant_egg you need to be someone's Viking my friend
Was a few years below Lee at school and I always remember him being hillarious and great at music. Legendary!!
The last song they ever wrote. A four chord song. It can join the ranks with Take on Me, Can you feel the love tonight, and Don’t stop believing.
They've released many more songs since. This isn't the last song they wrote.
Along with Poker face, forever young, and if I were a boy.😂
Thanks, Dan. ❤

I'm pretty sure you were actually singing don't stop believing by Journey and the cast of Glee
Even after all these years, this song gets stuck in my head in the randomist of moments and i love it
i'm so glad that there is a song that understands what its like to be a birdplane.. its not easy..

Well it's actually a cover, but he added the birdplane stuff
@@YTBooBooKeys A... a cover? A cover of what? I thought for sure this was a Axis original O.o
@@Pablorovirita It's not a cover, it's a parody.
Since no one actually answered the question, I'll point out that it's a parody of "Superman" by Five For Fighting.
this is a song about Coco from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Has to be.
this song was made to point out that any old rubbish could top the charts using the 4 chords
Revoku This is parody of Superman by Five For Fighting.
***** , this is not a parody. axis of awesome doesn't do parodies.
***** SARCASM ALERT

Can't tell if sarcastic or not.
Haven't we all said or thought these things, but never had the balls to produce music of it? Kudos fellas.
I love you Birdplane!
4 Chords :D
These guys made 4 Chords, ye.
Christoffer Eriksson This song is 4 chords too
socialstapler Stating the obvious.
Christoffer Eriksson I thought you didn't realize :P

"I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
I'm a Birdplane"
First time i heard this i laughed so hard!! Didn't see that coming!
Using a slide whistle in a song. That was great XD
Always felt a connection to the birdplane. Hope he's doing well after all these years.
Average life expectancy of a plane is 20-30 years. A large bird is 30-50 years. Then you gotta figure it's really healthy to be mixing up the gene poole so ... I'd say he's gonna be fine for about another 60 years.
I've been listening to the 4 chords supermedley since 2012 or so, but I had no idea this was a full song until now.
Jack Black? Is that you?
Still find that thing funny I see.. sigh
no this is Patrick
+Cloudy Daze Also, I think that might be Eddie Murphy on guitar.
Hey, he looks a lot like the man. Not just that but his antics and these lyrics are quite similar. Don't be a hater dude. It's not necessarily funny. Just a real comment.
You're not funny. Completely irrelevant.
That birdplane is adorable ^^
This God damned parody has been stuck in my head for 4 days dammit, I hate you all... subscribed
Still loving this song 10 years later 😊
Soy mas que un bird, soy mas que un plane, soy un birdplane!!!! Love u guys!
i love birdplane! its awesome! listened to it for the first time on sunday now i cant get it out of my head! x
Now i finally understand how hard it is to be a birdplane :'(
So, I'm at least a dozen years late to the party but... well done, all! Excellent and beautiful!!
I actually think this is really-really good! ^_^
Finally someone that gets us birdplanes.
For the people who actually don't know that there's an original, it's called Superman - Five For Fighting
This is sooo much cooler than the song you're parodying. Even the sound is better - I bet Benny was in charge of that
I think on Superman. "Is it a bird? is it a plane? NO, it´s Superman!!! (Or in this case, "No, it´s a Birdplane!!! " ) :P
It's a parody of "Superman" by Five for Fighting

Thank you, for making a song that makes me cry into a song that makes me laugh out loud.
After all these years I still find myself randomly singing parts of this song in Spanish.

Took me years to listen to Superman, and after the first chorus and coming straight here
Thumbs up for fairly epic slide whistle solo!
You've got to laugh once you realize the sign says:
NO
Birdplanes
Baggy Clothes
Knives
Hats
This video genuinely makes me happy
I'm a Birdplane, A MOTHERFUCKIN BIRDPLANE!! xD hahaha
Now I can't unhear this parody when I listen to the real song. Thanks a lot AoA...
this is actually really sad :(

I only listened to this song to hear the same 4 chords
Better love story than Twilight. I cried at the end :')
Oh god! Another 4 chords song!
I love the birdwhistle solo!!
i know what it feels like to be a birdplane ( looks into sky like i remember something sad but honorable)

Part bird, part plane and part skeleton
Can't decide if i prefer this or the original by five for fighting.
Nevermind, definitely this
In hindsight, this song may have got a much deeper meaning
Maybe they noticed that in hindsight, too. 😄
I am a Birdplane! Finally, a nice community!

I could be wrong, but if you look closer at the lyrics, it almost sounds like a metaphor for transgenderism.
It is. The singer is transgendered and came out as female about 2 years ago or so.
