"I love the razzmatazz, the purple pizazz, and razzle dazzle rose" Neil said it was like crayola had set up the names for his rhymes and thanked them for makimg it so easy

At first it's like, "Oh a kid is happy to have gotten one of those advanced boxes with all the fancy colours in it" then he mentions they're delicious...
You can use crayola markers as costume make up if you dip the tip in a 'lil bit of rubbing alcohol for a few seconds and let it dry 15 seconds. Works great!
@@FunnySunnyKitten i literally did that- i ate the blue kind because my dumb little 5 year old brain thought it would taste the best because blue raspberry is blue and i love blue raspberry
Listening to this album for the first time. Really great. Reminds me of how I felt the first time I listened to They Might Be Giants, except very different in terms of tone.
This song sounds like my childhood. I didn't even like crayons and never used them. It's just the melody sounds like a song i would love as a 6 year old. I guess it's just nostalgic for me that way.
I've been researching for a while and thought of this song, I think Neils favorite pack of Crayola crayons in the fluorescent pack, most of the crayons he mentions are from there. Wild Watermelon (Fluorescent 1972) Midnight Blue (Regular packs 1903) Atomic Tangerine (Fluorescent 1972) Radical Red (Fluorescent 1990) Sky blue (32 Regular 1958) Shamrock (Regular 1993) Gold (A few options, but I went with the most popular, Gold II 64 regular 1953, but 'Gold' from the metallic set of crayons released in Canada 1987 better fits his description, pick either you'd like) Razzmatazz (Regular 1993) Purple Pizzazz (Fluorescent 1990) Razzle Dazzle Rose (Fluorescent 1972) Hot Magenta (Fluorescent 1990) Vivid Violet (Regular 1997) Robin's Egg Blue (64 regular 1993) Screamin' Green (Fluorescent 1972) Purple Mountains Majesty (64 Regular 1993) Fluorescent: 7 Regular: 6 (Maybe seven?) There are 22 packs other then the Regular set to pick names from, granted there are more pleasing names in the Fluorescent Pack (Which is what makes it a personal favorite) but amongst those 22 is some originality, sure most are crayon with something, but 22 isn't where it stops, there are 4 other packs with twistables which is why I didn't choose them in the ordinary 22 packs, feels too consumerist, but within those are some originality, there are 170* crayons to choose from in the regular pack alone, I find it odd why half were from a singular pack.
You missed the first three: Outrageous Orange, Laser Lemon, Jungle Green. I'm pretty sure Outrageous Orange and Laser Lemon were part of that "fluorescent" pack, unsure about Jungle Green though.
A high comfort song for me, and listening to this during the kisa bill has made me feel a lot better. Thank you. I'm so happy this exists I'm crying tears of joy.

It is amazing how unknown Neil can be even though he is a musical genius.
Most people only know him for Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Which is kinda sad considering that song is only in the middle of his genius
Now people only know him for Two Trucks, which is pretty fair
A lot of people know him for Spirit Phone now which is nice
A lot of people know him now, which, in my opinion, is nice.

If Neil dies, the world ends
we have about 70 years
Demons are immortal
Or like...he never dies, he's a freak like that Gef guy
jesus man, this is a song about eating crayons no need to get grim. also he's like 30 he has a long life ahead
Don't worry, he'll probably reincarnate after that body dies, that's how lemon demons work I'd say
I choose to believe this.
If the world doesn’t end when Neil dies then that means Neil is the new god.
And honestly that wouldn’t be too bad.
i like how quickly this song takes a turn
That’s why I love his music.
