In a way Isn't that song kinda playing constantly on a loop for all eternity in the background of all things? and it technically existed before it was preformed because there was always silence
Yeah. It's copyrighted. A guy called Mike Batt did a one minute silent piece as a quirky homage to Cage, and even credited him. Cages record copy sued, and it was settled out of court. Happened about ten years ago. I think someone even performed the two pieces side by side to demonstrate the "differences". Chortle..
+Michaël De Bruyne So I was walking yesterday, thinking about life. I wasn't even making a noise, just my footsteps did. Then a cop suddenly just hit me to the ground and handcuffed me. I asked why, then he replied because I was using copyrighted music on the street. I was like ok?
4'33" is not silence, it's 3 movements of rest, the music is the sound in the room, everything you hear during those moments, the piece depends on the environment around you
+Varelongo Beautiful picture, but I dont get it. Is the punchline the stick figure? Or is it your existence? Either way, we're all laughing at you the same.
Can I say something? I once went to a poorly written site. I don't remember it's name. I clicked on a link in it, and it returned a 404 error, page doesn't exist. But wait! That's not all! It said it aditionally got another 404 error when trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request! The 404 error page didn't exist either, so the server had to improvise. Cool huh? Talk about non-existing things...
Dan Dart Well, it is kind of poorly written when 2 things happen at the same time: 1. You click a link inside the site that leads to the 404. 2. An ErrorDocument handler was defined, but didn't exist either.
Right, what happened there is there was a custom error page that was suppose to show up, instead of the "default" "standard" one Apache provides. You went to a bad link and it wasn't found. Then, when trying to serve the "custom" 404 page, it couldn't find it either. So it had to fall-back on the provided "stock" 404 page. Cool huh? Welcome to system administration!
This Exists I think that maybe (By Sheer coincidence !) That my passwords are the EXACT same as yours. Tell ya what? You send me yours to verify my...Theory? :))
There's a theory that time works just like any other dimension and we are incapable of noticing, just like moving an object on your left does nothing to an object on your right, changing something in the past does nothing to things after that.
If someone went back in time to prevent it from existing, it wouldn't need to be fucked with in the future, therefore it wouldn't be possible to stop it from existing in the first place.
btw i really enjoy the show. i noticed music is the general theme. im not a huge music-phile personally. and you might have better luck getting subs if you expanded what you covered. but then you run the risk of being another list segment show. but beyond that it is very well done, the production is good and everything. you got a solid thing here man, i hope to see your show take off. good luck
Have you not heard the scandal? I am sorry to break it to you, but the refrigerator used a lot of auto tune. Apparently, it has since only lip synced its performance.
When my sister and I were teenagers, sometimes we liked to hang out together very late on Friday nights after the parents had gone to bed. We'd have Much Music on in the background (sort of like Canadian MTV -- and yes, they used to play music videos too). Anyway, we were just having one of our Friday night hang-out sessions one night when all of a sudden this commercial came on. It was a Slinky, but it wasn't on stairs... it was just on a flat surface walking... and it was illuminated by what seemed to be a black light. There was this trippy music like someone playing a saw. Then all of a sudden it cuts away to that super old Slinky logo and the familiar jingle "EVERYONE LOVES A SLINKY!". The contrast was really jarring. Anyway, I looked at my sister and asked if I had hallucinated it. She assured me that if I had, she had hallucinated it right alongside me. We laughed... but you know, to this day we've never found another person who's seen the commercial and we've asked a LOT!
+Travis J Hayes I think he means it was a fake song entered in the charts to see if other places were just copying the Billboard's information. The same way dictionaries insert fake words to see if other dictionaries have stolen their work.
+Silverbawxer Doesn't sound too far-fetched. There';s actually a similar theory for a "lost" Nintendo game titled "Yeah Yeah Beebiss I" that appeared alongside real game titles in ads in magazines for a mail order game service called "Play it Again". No such game has ever been proven to exist. For context, people in the NES fandom have been hunting for decades for the most fabled unreleased treasures of the system; by now a great deal of them have been found, and information has cropped up for most those that haven't. Yet nothing on Yeah Yeah Beebis I beyond the old magazine ads.
My speakers unplugged after the drummer clacked his sticks. When Sam's lips moved and I didn't hear anything, I thought it was a joke until I looked at my speakers XD
I actually watched the entire 4:33 performance and i gotta say, it really added to the episode, the first time i watched this episode i did'nt really understand the idea or actually watch it in its entirety. know that i have i kinda understand why this piece of "music" is so powerfull. there's a lot of tension growing from the silence, and also the interuption of people talking in the background demonstrates the point that the accidentel sounds is what kinda creates the music. I guess that, after going into mental training, the difference from producing thought, to consciously triyng not to, makes this piece of music more relevant and interesting. thanks for the episode mate!
I've dreamt about listening to songs that don't exist in real life. Once I dreamt I was listening to the radio, and they were playing a new Alanis Morissette song, and in the dream it sounded exactly like her voice and lyrically it was her style of music, but I'd never heard the song before in the real world; my brain had made it up in my sleep. Then more recently I dreamt that I was watching an unknown female singer recording and mixing a song in a studio. It was a 90s' or early 00s' style electro/synth song which I had in my head the following morning, and I still remember some of the lyrics today. But again, the song doesn't exist in real life.
I cried during your performance. Never heard anything so beautiful in my life. The voice of an angel isn't even this beautiful. Thank you so much for blessing my earholes with this amazing masterpiece of art.
JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW: they actually found an audio tape copy of Ready N' Steady sometime in 2016. It's up on Wikipedia and I just finished listening to a couple seconds of it. It's actually awful why did we waste our time on this?
Here's a non-existent song that had to become real for financial reasons: "bend & flush" by the PORK DUKES! In the early days of punk (1977) a London music dealer was compiling a list of forthcoming singles for his catalog. As a gag he included the aforementioned Pork Dukes 45. There was no "bend & flush"- just a joke. Imagine his surprise when this fake record received 5000 advance orders!! Rather than pay back all that money he contacted the members of the Prog rock unit Gnindrolog (a band in the vain of early Genesis, Yes and mid 70s Floyd- NOWHERE near punk). He asked "guys, can you bail me out here?!" So Gnindrolog put their post Psych sound aside and recorded two incredibly nasty songs (the other is "throbbing gristle") simply to keep a friend out of debt.Both songs are on RUclips- they are NOT tame by today's standards!)
If anyone is wondering they did find a copy of this song in 2016. Sadly it's not a rocksteady song (my favorite genre) but a lame 70s "hard rock" or what the UK would call "pub rock".
I thoroughly enjoyed your rendition of 4'33. So much so, I subconsciously paused the video half way through your interpretation when I had to leave the room, only to come back and think 'good, I remembered to pause it'.
+WolfPackHD Two people in their underwear or other skintight suit, while for the most part not making physical contact, moving erratically on a bed while feathers from a pillow rain down.
I can't believe how enjoyable it actually is to watch silence and a lack of motion on someone for a whole 4:33 mins. It's so good for my attention spam, thank you so much for that!
Ready and Steady has been found, the artist provided the recording last week. It still isn't known how it got on the chart because after it was recorded it was never actually released for sale or played on the radio.
i was half distracted and your 4:33 made me supremely uncomfortable when I could hear the dust settling on the shelves in my house....but on the same note, I once passed out albums of my music at a show that contained that clear fake cd from the tops of cdr spindles and called it the "clear" album. it was a definite hit and i think makes this list.
Why did I watch it? Oh that's right, because it was the most damned good 4'33'' to ever grace youtube. And the random "I'm going to kill you" smiles and the "Don't joke about that, that's low for even you" face cracked me up. And the constant shifting eyes.
Is it at all possible that Ready n Steady was a copyright trap, to stop other music publishers copying the Billboard charts? Just like paper streets or paper towns on maps? I've not seen this proposed anywhere but it seems the most likely option, there's no way not a single recording of the song or person involved in making it could have turned up.
Basically a copyright trap is purposely fake entry that's designed to catch plagiarism, so eg a paper street on a map is a street that doesn't really exist but is put there so that if it turns up on another map, they'll know the creators of the second map have just copied the original map. Ready n Steady may have been put there to stop other music charts from simply plagiarising Billboard.
Conor Drake Interesting. But it seems unlikely that a) anyone would want to plagiarize a Billboard chart, b) anyone could get away with plagiarizing a Billboard chart, and c) Billboard would compromise the integrity of the Bubbling Under chart. Just my two cents.
The co-writer of the song heard about the legacy Ready N Steady had and published the recording in 2016. Apparently it was never even released but some dude managed to get his hands on a copy of the recording and got it on the charts somehow. D.A. himself died in 2005.
I know you aren't a professional musician, but that has got to be the most beautiful rendition of John Cage's 4'33' I have ever heard. Well done, sir. Such emotion!
I made eye contact throughout the preformance while enjoying yoghurt. It was a great experience and an encore would be amazing! Best 4'33 cover on RUclips!
+This Exists Can you please change your intro animation thing? It startles the crap out of me, and I don't really see how it goes well with the subject matter. (not to be rude)
+This Exists Is there a chance of something new and better coming along in the future? Let's say some one 3d animates a spinning cube with your title on it, opening and encasing the screen to reveal your show within while a 90s rock emulating guitarist played a catchy tune; would you then replace the intro? Unlikely as that happening is.
The performance of 4'33 is supposed to have little sounds. The written music is silent, but the sounds of it are meant to be audience reactions (muffled whispering, uncomfortable throat clearing, etc). listen to an old school live recording, you'll hear it
to any curious party rewatching: yes, ready n steady was found. in 2016, copyright issues forced a rights holder to the song to release it's only recording from 1979
So when I'm sleeping does that mean that John Cage's estate can sue me for copyright infringement?
+David Dwayne You might be able to claim fair use if it is part of a larger, silent commentary on the piece.
+David Dwayne Only If you sleep for exactly 4 minutes 33 seconds and don't snore.
+David Dwayne I bet you snore
+David Dwayne It depends, if I look at a Spongebob LEGO and whistle the ending theme, can Viacom sue me?
Henry Floyd You don't have to sell it to infringe.
Rock N' Steady doesn't exist, but Ready N' Steady does.
Wouldn't it be ironic if this video got a copyright strike for playing 4'33"?
The Lone Dreamer I think everyone would of got a copyright strike, if we kept our mouths shut and did nothing lol.
The Lone Dreamer I WAS THINKING THAT TOO
The Lone Dreamer Can't. The song is too old, it's in the public domain now.
Would if it was played in outer space?
In a way Isn't that song kinda playing constantly on a loop for all eternity in the background of all things? and it technically existed before it was preformed because there was always silence
i hope that song isn't copyrighted ...
Why the fuck would someone copyright silent music?! So, the answer to this story is: NO.
+Michaël De Bruyne It is! Someone got sued over it!
+minecraftdude456 oops someone doesn't know what a joke is

The 404 error page didn't exist either, so the server had to improvise. Cool huh? Talk about non-existing things...
It wasn't a poorly written site, it was a non-written site.
Almost every server does that when there's *actually nothing* there.

2. An ErrorDocument handler was defined, but didn't exist either.

Why did I watch it? Oh that's right, because it was the most damned good 4'33'' to ever grace youtube. And the random "I'm going to kill you" smiles and the "Don't joke about that, that's low for even you" face cracked me up. And the constant shifting eyes.
Loved the base drop
3:40 I love how you blurred out the IP in the address bar but not in the tooltip .....
Is it at all possible that Ready n Steady was a copyright trap, to stop other music publishers copying the Billboard charts? Just like paper streets or paper towns on maps? I've not seen this proposed anywhere but it seems the most likely option, there's no way not a single recording of the song or person involved in making it could have turned up.
What's a copyright trap? What's a paper street? What's a paper town? Help!
Basically a copyright trap is purposely fake entry that's designed to catch plagiarism, so eg a paper street on a map is a street that doesn't really exist but is put there so that if it turns up on another map, they'll know the creators of the second map have just copied the original map. Ready n Steady may have been put there to stop other music charts from simply plagiarising Billboard.
Conor Drake Interesting. But it seems unlikely that a) anyone would want to plagiarize a Billboard chart, b) anyone could get away with plagiarizing a Billboard chart, and c) Billboard would compromise the integrity of the Bubbling Under chart. Just my two cents.
The co-writer of the song heard about the legacy Ready N Steady had and published the recording in 2016. Apparently it was never even released but some dude managed to get his hands on a copy of the recording and got it on the charts somehow. D.A. himself died in 2005.
I know you aren't a professional musician, but that has got to be the most beautiful rendition of John Cage's 4'33' I have ever heard. Well done, sir. Such emotion!
Can I download your version of 433 on iTunes?
0:34 *Talks to friend in class* Teacher: Please be siilent while I am speaking *Hums to 4'33* Am I following the rules?
I headbang to John Cage's 4'33!
As of 2016, the song "Ready 'N' Steady" has been found. It exists.
I came to this channel by accident and now I subscribed
Happy accidents.
Like teen pregnancies
Seltrie Carey awwww thats... um... kay. okay then.
I made eye contact throughout the preformance while enjoying yoghurt. It was a great experience and an encore would be amazing! Best 4'33 cover on RUclips!
did i really just sit though all of "4 33"? well.... you have a beautiful face.
I credit the reliable timer on my phone.
I literally had crickets start chirping outside my window while you had the silent song playing lol
I wonder if anyone went throug his silence till the end of the video.
+GayFuckingCommie cool
+GayFuckingCommie I didn't. I have videos to watch, games to play!
I did too cuz it preloaded
I did tbh
Wolfie Greyhound Cool
The song is listed as Ready N Steady. They showed the chart in the video, but it was spoken wrong throughout the first segment of this video.
+This Exists Can you please change your intro animation thing? It startles the crap out of me, and I don't really see how it goes well with the subject matter. (not to be rude)
Blubber Life Not rude! But I'm a fan of it, so it will probably stick around for a while.
+This Exists it fits the vibe of your show fine. everyone has an opinion, but its your show and i dig it
+This Exists Is there a chance of something new and better coming along in the future? Let's say some one 3d animates a spinning cube with your title on it, opening and encasing the screen to reveal your show within while a 90s rock emulating guitarist played a catchy tune; would you then replace the intro?
Unlikely as that happening is.
thats not a good reason
I loved your performance! It was pretty awesome watching content on the internet stand still for so long :)
@4:30 Somebody throw a pie already I can't stand it anymore lol
Why would you want to throw any Pie at someone it would hurt.
Just for something to happen I can't stand silence from musicians lol
No I meant from the Pie family
I know what you meant although it wouldn't help the situation even if I said cake lol
True
To anyone wondering, Rock n Steady was finally found
Ready N' Steady was found so yeah...this hasn't aged well
that 4'33" refridgerator cover was amazing.
You ruined the song, you laughed several times :D
I'm sure his coworkers/production staff were doing everything from mooning him to doing the RC helicopter.
The performance of 4'33 is supposed to have little sounds. The written music is silent, but the sounds of it are meant to be audience reactions (muffled whispering, uncomfortable throat clearing, etc). listen to an old school live recording, you'll hear it
to any curious party rewatching: yes, ready n steady was found. in 2016, copyright issues forced a rights holder to the song to release it's only recording from 1979
I literally just sat here and watched a guy hold up his phone in silence for 4:33. I feel so dumb.
