Lyric:
I nearly blew right by in my hurry to the subway
when I heard someone say, "Isn't autumn lovely?"
And as I stopped to observe that this was correct
to the proprietor, I couldn't help but inspect
the folding table by the railing laden with her goods:
ashtrays made of metal; little angels made of wood;
hand mirror with the handle broken (still pretty nice);
wall-wart to charge a telephone; trays to make ice.
The advice of my neighbor, "Go ahead, take your time.
We'll negotiate price on whatever you find."
And then shining in the detritus, I saw the brightest
flash of something precious. I began to feel the slightest
little tingle in my innards. I was like, "What's that?"
Then her bare-tooth chuckle, "It's a buckle for a strap
on a hat, like a lady wears to court or church.
But it holds a special property. I'll tell you how it works."
It was a stoop sale,
which is a garage sale if you live in Brooklyn,
which I do.
And at the stoop sale,
which is like a yard sale except that it's in Brooklyn,
I got my due.
Somehow I knew she was serious. I reached to pick it up,
but she stayed my hand. Her reprimand, it was abrupt.
"This little trinket," she said, "grants wishes.
It can make everything you ever eat delicious.
It can take away concern so you can sleep at night.
Can make the love of your life and you reunite.
Can right wrongs done in your past or in your future.
Make a winner out of whoever whoever owns it roots for.
But it only ever does one thing.
As you take possession of it, that's the wish to which it clings.
So choose very carefully before we make a deal.
If there's anything impossible you want to make real,
if there's anything improbable you'd like to assure,
it will happen. And that's when you have to endure
the regret that accompanies said decision-making:
all the other wishes in the world that you've forsaken."
Could it be true? I wondered as I stared at the clasp.
Would some skills on the microphone be too much to ask?
Had a couple dark notions that involved revenge,
fame, glory, money, people love me and it never ends.
Shook these from my head like they were so much sleep
and thought instead I'd pretend that I was so much deep
as to offer every human in the world true peace,
so that we never kill each other, never get cooties,
never go hungry, suffer shelterlessness.
This generosity I felt compelled to dismiss
by my greed to see an old friend back living.
If I go the wrong direction, though, could I ever be forgiven?
While I stood daydreaming, somebody'd got a hold
of this little brass buckle, and he must have been so bold
as to put it in his pocket without it getting bought.
Saw him do it. He was wishing that he wouldn't get caught.

I puppeteered on this video. SO much fun!!
good freaking job
Scott Weber Hella good job, bro. Which puppet were you in charge of? Or which scene?
Awesome! I love the purple hippo at the end.
bro you got like 13 subs! are you a friend of MC irl?
puppeteering rap lip perfect sounds pretty hard.
This is probably the best rap ever made that involves a magical buckle.
Not a common topic for a song in the rap genre, but I'm sure that there is something out there. I'm also pretty sure that there is an example of Rule 34 on this topic also.
Like one for the strap of a hat?
@@sethlook1010 Yeah like you wear to church
@@BOYVIRGO666 or court maybe
mucklecore
Frontalot has an unnatural and incredible movement and dancing style. The puppeteer in this video is incredible for capturing it.
+Chris Vickery I dont know... Are you sure its not just that MC Frontalot moves like a muppet in real life?
Wow. Anyone who doesn't have subtitles turned on is missing pure magic.
Oh my god, you're right. Ty for pointing this out XD
Lmao that's hilarious
😂
I was wondering what the fuck you were talking about, because they seemed normal. Then 1:05 hit me like a truck.
@@ajaxtaur
Can you imagine how frustrating it must be for deaf people trying to watch RUclips?
Granted, this is music, but even major news sources and massive channels often rely on AI to do the subtitles and its usually pretty bad.
I will never get over this mans flow
The way he spits lyrics is so entrancing. Every syllable is a mild surprise in the way they're pronounced, and all these surprises stack up.
Again and again I want to say thanks so much to everyone watching the video, especially those who like it! Also, much love to Frontalot, everyone who put in the many days and hours and weeks of work and, of course, the kickstarter supporters who made this whole things possible. THANK YOU!!!
That ending was BRILLIANT!
Always loved the ending of this song. Clasp is destined to fall into obscurity with no one the wiser.
Damn it, why isn't this song a viral video? I sing it all day when I'm at work.
This song has been one of my favourites since the Humble Music Bundle days. It’s phenomenal.
One of my favorite Frontalot songs
Its been 6 whole years and I've only realised that someone is floating away in the background at 1:48
The same character floating away reappears in the background at 2:17
How is this not more famous?
People like coldplay and avocado toast. :(
This guy has the best original flow out of them all. Wish he had more success.
well i have been listening to this 40 times in a row and man, i can tell you that THIS masterpiece will never go old and matures with age as well as that, HOW DAFUQ DOES HE MAKE MASTERPIECES LIKE THESE?
I still come back to this song fairly often. Straight banger. Dont care what anyone says.
The joke with the subtitles was really awesome!
+Hunterwolf Brassica Lindy might just be the name of my next DnD character.
I came back after 3 years.. Still catchy af! This rapper has a unique flow and rhythm when he wraps
BEST FREAKING CAPTIONS EVER!!!
Only now I notice. It's also a great demonstration of how far along speech to text has come because it would actually be almost spot on if done today!
I probably should have listened to MC Frontalot a lot sooner. Rap has never been my favorite genre, though I do enjoy checking it out from time to time. This is superb.His meter is crazy.
how da fuck u get verification badge dude??
Verification is based on Google+ followers.
Simon Summers correct
I've listened to this a bizarrely large number of times... Not sure why?
This is my favorite by MC Frontalot :-)
+Kimberly Hurlbut Me too! Love the chorus, it's so catchy
the best part is that this is how he actually dances on stage.
Frontalot...what did you do to that platypus.
FrontaLot is just TOO raw with his style. As nerdy as can be, and as raw with a microphone as he is, back then those two wouldn't go together, glad to see him be a beast.
Why do i keep coming back to watch this video?... So freakin catchy!!
I have watched this video many times over the years and only just now noticed that the CC are hilarious.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
I want a Frontalot puppet
obviously he going to become the next great nerdcore rapper.
Been bumping this since I was 14
The Closed Captions for this are great! Completely worth the time to just watch the video to read the captions!
This song is stuck in my head
0:55 - holy shit the fucking captions!
This song is so incredibly catch; I often find myself compelled to view it on random occasions.
Heard this twice...I am already singing along....
Dude is worthy of the kickstart success. Good times. Good rhymes. I love this song and video.
I love this song!
This song shuts up my 2 month old son within about 3 seconds of the first bar.
He cries when the song finishes.
This video does NOT have nearly as many views as it should. MC Frontalot = most under-rated rapped, ever.
The best part is when Front points in disbelief at the thief. Hysterical.
Best song ever!!!!
So awesome! Love the dude floating up in the background with the balloons.
First found this song in like 2013, every now and again I remember the melody and come back. Really fun song, thanks for making something with so much passion
Started thinking about it again lol
he keeps getting better and better
The closed captions on this video are bonkers.
MC Frontalot!!!! Godfather of Nerdcore!! XD
i know you since your "Nerdcore Rising" album
you still here!!! man you are awesome!!
this is the first song I've liked by you in a long time. Good job.
MC Frontalot as a Muppet, sheer magic!
Moral of the story, dont miss an opportunity
+Ronin Jasso agreed
The wish was granted. If it wasn't, Frontalot would have been able to yell out "Thief!" or something similar, but instead he was forced to watch without being able to do anything. That wish would have continued forever, meaning the thief would never, ever get caught for what he did and therefore would never get captured/jailed either.
BOOM
Yes, but it also means the thief never gets to use the buckle again - "But it only ever does one thing - as you take possession of it, that's the wish to which it clings." So the thief stole a wish-granting buckle, wishing to never get caught, and now what? It's not like he gets to make another wish with it.
Drew Little Well, now he has a sweet buckle.
I didn't take the thief's wish that way. I didn't hear that he'd never get caught, but rather that he wouldn't get caught stealing the buckle. Seemed more like a one off to me.
or maybe just worked once, allowing him to steal a useless buckle
Best part to me is when he says it'll fix wrongs from your past a platypus flies across the screen. And when he says or the future they same platypus flies across, but with a jetpack.
Is that a Frontalot action figure between the cup and kazoo at 00:39
Sure looks like it.
Love you frontalot! you are epic. COME TO FL!!!
2021 this track still slaps
Love the cameo of the little MC Fontalot-look-alike doll
Ain't no party like a stoop sale party.
This.. In tape mode... is Amazing!
Sorry if I'm late to the party, but does anyone know who his friend he wanted to see living was?
All day, every day.
Frontalot > Macklemore.
The seller obviousely, she wished some muppet would buy her junk, but instead of the term "muppet" meaning idiot it took the literal wish, which is why she tells him to be careful with his wish no doubt.
Such a lovely wholesome track and a video to with it
Awesome video! Frontalot is a fresh breeze of sincerity and creativity so needed in hiphop.
@tubist I just love both. If my only job was to make MC Front videos I would dedicate my life to it.
THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Srsly this deserves like 50 billion views...
This video and song is awesome!
I'm very glad you made me do that sir.....THAt was hilarious.
Saw MC Frontatlot perform this live at TooManyGames a few years ago, it was awesome!
This is great MC Frontalot! Thought you were gone then I see this and it made my day thanks!
I've been replaying this song non-stop trying to keep up with him but I keep tripping up on my words lol
love this
I was listening to this song and found a brass buckle, so I made my wish that a Covid Vaccine would work...
I'm in Tucson, far from Brooklynn or any Stoop Sale, but I made my wish anyway, though I know this song is purely entertaining.
Wow !!! what a great song.
I live in Florida and was doing some research and this very term (Stoop Sale) came up and now because of this video I now know what it is.
IT LOOPS!
Love his flow!
Yo, the hook for this my daily ear bug. Front, you way dope.
Why hasn't this gone viral?
My son loves this vid.
I hope Front got to keep the puppet of himself. It's like a surreal doppelgänger. He could answer the door with it, hidden behind the vestibule, speaking in his own voice. Could flip a few lids thusly, to be sure.
THIS IS BIG. Love it.
impeccable flow
I'm amazed I hadn't seen this video before, it's awesome. The puppet's here feels like a tribute to Avenue Q, which kinda works, given the song's NYC setting. Love it.
This was really amazing.
Been a fan since the mp3.com days, and I gotta say this new track is great. Love the video as well.
Awesome!
I feel like this is the origin story for a legendary thief that can never get caught.
I live in Brooklyn, and no one has a car here, so there's no such thing as a garage sale. Only stoop sales.
I LOVE the muppet Front! Sweet!
this man is a genius. where the hell were you when i was in high school? much respect.
Beat during the chorus is super catchy
he is some awesome rapper
this is great
My twelve year old daughter just came up to me and asked if the person the puppet wants to see back living was the other guy that died in the song Corner of Dude and Catastrophe like what the actual hell? It makes sense? IS THERE CONNECTED MCFRONTALOT LORE??? I need answers.
His expression at 1:40 is so perfect.
i listened to this song twice and I already knew the lyrics
This is beast. You are awesome.
Time for my daily dose of Frontalot! :D
This is amazing video!!
