Jonathan Coulton's "First of May," a very raunchy little number, performed in sign language. I even had backup signers for this one! Click "more" for a transcript of the signs alongside the song lyrics.
I woke up this morning
MORNING I AWAKE
I had a scone and a large house blend
SCONE EAT, COFFEE DRINK
And then a little conversation with my squirrel and chipmunk friends
SQUIRREL, CHIPMUNK FRIEND [ix-loc] CONVERSE
I said Im sick and tired of winter
I TELL-THEM WINTER SICK-OF-IT
And I wish that it was spring
I WISH SPRING START SOON
And then a little fellow named Robin Redbreast began to sing
BIRD ROBIN FLY-DOWN START SING
And he sang
HE SING
Ooh ooh child, whatd you think the cold winters gonna last forever?
[O-handshape] CHILD YOU THINK WINTER CONTINUE?
Ooh ooh child, nows the time for all the people to get together outside
[O-handshape] NOW ALL PEOPLE MUST COME-TOGETHER OUTSIDE
Cause its the first of May, first of May
NOW MAY 1ST, MAY 1ST
Outdoor fucking starts today
FUCK++ OUTSIDE START TODAY
So bring your favorite lady
BRING YOUR FAVORITE WOMAN
Or at least your favorite lay
OR YOUR FAVORITE HOOKER
The waters not cold baby dip in your big toe
WATER FINE, TOE DIP-IN
Maybe Ill see you in flagrante delicto
MAYBE I SEE-[you] NAKED
Grass below you, sky above
GRASS FLOOR, SKY
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside
CELEBRATE SPRING HOW? FUCK++ OUTSIDE
I thanked him for the information
THANK-[him] FOR INFORM
I cried a little when he flew away
HE FLY, I CRY
I watched an episode of The Peoples Court
I WATCH TV
And I tried to plan my day
MY DAY TRY PLAN
I called up my old lady
WIFE CALL-[her]
She wasnt home so I called my girl
NOT HOME, MY GIRL CALL-[her]
I asked her if shed like to join me as I
ASK-[her] IF SHE WANT TWO-OF-US
Entertain the world
WORLD ENTERTAIN
And I said
I SAY
Ooh ooh child, Ill bring a blanket and I promise I will brush the ants off
[O-handshape] CHILD, BLANKET BRING, ANTS I WIPE-OFF
Ooh ooh child, youre gonna like it when were taking each others pants off outside
[O-handshape] PANTS++ REMOVE, YOU ENJOY OUTSIDE
[chorus]
So we went to the park together
TWO-OF-US GO-TO PARK
We were walking in the midday sun
NOON WALKING
We met all kinds of people and we
MEET+++
We fucked everyone
FUCK+++
We fucked a lady who sells ice cream
WOMAN ICE CREAM VENDOR, FUCK-[her]
We fucked a man with a tan Shar Pei
MAN WITH DOG TAN, FUCK-[him]
Everyone who needed fucking well they
ALL PEOPLE NEED SEX
They got fucked today
THEY FUCK+++
So come on
COME
Ooh ooh child, open your mind and your heart, feel the spirit moving through you
[O-handshape] CHILD MIND, HEART OPEN++, FEEL HEAT [all-over]
Ooh ooh child, youll feel the warmth of the love when I stick it to you outside
[O-handshape] CHILD YOU FEEL LOVE WHEN I FUCK-[you] OUTSIDE
[chorus]
Watching this has become an annual tradition among my people.
It's 11 years later, I'm taking ASL at university, and here's where I ended up again. A++
12 years later and I'm still using asl and still listening to Jonathan Coulton. I recently starting dating a deaf girl and I had to show her this haha
Every year, of all the videos of this song, this is the one I post and forward.
;)
+CaptainValor
me too!
+Captain Scorpio just shared again on FB, like I've been doing every year xD
Totally agree. This is the best video of this song.
Every year I shove this video in all my friends' faces.
Thank you. From everyone who shares this every year. And the man with the Tan Sharpei.
How refreshing to hear an unapologetic ode to the real meaning of Spring celebrations. Ourdoor sex! Happy Beltane, y'all!
It's the first of May, first of May,
Social distance is still in play,
So Zoom your favorite lady,
Or at least your favorite lay
The water's not cold baby, dip in your big toe,
Make sure to cough into your elbow or sleeve though,
Grass below you, sky above,
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called...
Stayin' inside.
who would have thought we'd still be here a year later
@@izzybeth I kinda guessed we would tbh.
It's that day again!!! And now I know how to say lots of new things in ASL!
2024, yo, still a bangin video ❤❤❤
Every year for 12 years I have sent this to my families. This is the only reason I know how to sign "fuckin outside" and "en flgrante delicto". It's the best.
Each year on my birthday (1st of May), I open this exact video. And suddenly my day is so much brighter!
Happy First of May 2023! See you all next year.
I laughed so hard at the "Sorry, Mom" and "Sorry, Dad"
"ALL PEOPLE NEED SEX. THEY FUCK"
Wait - is that for real the translation they’re signing? 😆
@@briggiec7907 If you interpret what they're signing literally, yes.
I just learned a new word in ASL!
I like how this song combines explicit and disturbing lyrics with a catchy and upbeat tune, to create a sense of this song feeling rather messed up but oddly enjoyable, much like the song's actual subject matter.
I love how he puts on a seductive mysterious look when he signs "$%^&ing outside" XD
plus background dancers are crazy hilarious XD
Only 515k views, crazy because this is a timeless gem
Its that time of year again it seems... **undoes zip**
His face the whole time. It's amazing. Perfect even.
Great!! I am a hearing mom who raised a deaf son. I love music. My son can feel the beat, has rythym, is a great dancer, and I have signed lyrics or printed them up so he could enjoy this form of entertainment. Thank you
Every year, on this day, I come to find this video. Thank you for making it exist.
It's that time of year again.
Happy First of May to all who celebrate!
Brilliant! Not only does the signing add so much to the song, but the absolutely ADORABLE faces you make just make this video full of win.
It's the First of May, First of May, sending this to everyone starts today!

The day is upon us again
Saw Jonathan at DragonCon the year before my wedding and got an instrumental of this to play at the wedding (early May, of course ) Only the cool friends knew what it really was. Lol
Wow it's really been 10 years huh
Every year I come back to this song, glad to see I'm not the only one here today!
Me too! This video brings me so much joy. I mean, I like JoCo an' all, but I hope CaptainValor knows how much more he brings to it.
11!
And it is once again May 1, time for the annual watching of this video :D
Every May 1 I share a version of this song on social media. This year it's yours! Great job!
Every year I share this video with my friends on every discord server in on! It's a tradition at this point.
It’s not May First if I’m not watching this video and sharing it with folks! It’s a classic!
This song cracks me up every First of May hahahahaha
Crack me up... the end...
"WTF!! (Sorry, Mom and Dad)"
snotbubble...
YES! I'm so glad you caught that.
I interpreted two church services for about 2 1/2 years... way long time ago...
Did you do THIS song? :-)
@@rogerreynolds3992 JoCo has a clean version with outdoor .... hugging
Your back-up signers were hilarious.
15 years, and I'm here again. You're still the best at this.
This will never get old.
This is my absolutely favorite video of this song.
Happy first of may y'all. Be safe
I've been playing and forwarding this song on this date for at LEAST 7 years.
You are critically underplayed.
Came back here on the day just to say that I'm STILL doing this 4 years later. It's become a lifelong event! :D
And it's the First of May here in the UK! Woohoo! See you in 2025 😊
Love the back up signers (and dancers)! Good job, guys!
Its May 1st 2024 and I am back for my yearly dose 😂
This song is so beautiful and hilarious at the same time. WOW!
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called, FUCKING OUTSIDE. genius
Still my favourite version of this song. All the more amusing when staying inside is the thing of the day :D
I love Joco, and this was an awesome addition to one if my favorites.
Indeed, everyone should be able to speak the language of...fuckin' outside... :-)
Happy Mayday!
I laughed till tears rolled down my face. the facial expressions and body language are totally priceless. this has really made my 'first of may' today!!
It's the 1st of May and like every year I send this video to my friends. This is the best video ever!!! Thank you!!!
I post this song every year... and this video with it. It just makes me smile. Thanks for that !!
Timothy Carroll Me too :)
Me too :)
Listen to this at least every May. Brilliance!
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this, I find something new to amuse me. I am now having to teach my son how to sign and...yeah, this is hilarious now!
It's 2022 and I still find myself back here every May 1st
Happy first of may everyone! Cheers 🥂
Here for 2016! I cannot love your backup band strenuously enough.
Absolutely wonderful. Love the smarmy-ish expression on your face the whole time, matching the character of the narrator of the song. You've made me smile on a crappy day, so thank you ^.^
10 years gone by and I still love this video! The background 'singers' are sooo funny!
And I'm back to this video again! Has it been a year already? #FuckingOutside
~ TDG
I love how the guys in the back sign 'Sorry Mom' at the very end.
Why have I never seen this before? This is amazing!
Watching it still an annual tradition
Thanks again y'all, best version of this song out there :D
I can't remember if I've commented before, but I love this video so much. I seek it out every year on May 1st. Forever a classic!
I like how the backup singers were just going "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" over and over during the chorus
YES! That was our favorite part. XD
Love celebrating the First of May by watching this one.
Of course we are... good song and well done by you and the boys!
great job. im an asl video addicted n this one is deffty one of my top 5. great job. keep it up.
Your expressions were fabulous xD
Happy first of May, everyone! Top-notch interpretation, musicality, and comic timing, guys. A real treat. (Now, let's all enjoy the irony of having Audio Preview available for our comments on this one, shall we?)
That was fantastic! I love JoCo, but this video just brought another level of enjoyment to hearing the song. Thank you!
This is and continues to be my favourite video ever on RUclips.
(Yes, even the one with the adorable bouncy stoat only comes second)
Saw you guys at the JoCo concert in Dallas... great job and great improving on Sweet Caroline! :)
Entire love the humor and creativity of this, fellas! Nicely done!!
This is glorious. the look on the front man's face. He knows he's getting it after this!!
I don't even know ASL, and this is still comedy *gold.* Bravo.
Fantastic. Loved the funny yet low-key performance, and a nice interpretation.
Back again this year. Thanks again, guys.
This is the best thing ever. The background guys reactions... lol.
This is still my all time favorite video! 😂 every may 1st i share it on socials as a tradition
I have been waiting so long to listen to this again!
I am *so* glad that I found this video. I think this is probably the funniest video I've ever seen, it's incredible
Great to see folks still enjoying this! ^_^
Still love your version of this song the best! Happy first of May!
Having never heard of the song before, I'm watching this with my 20 month old b/c I like your other stuff. . . then the chorus hits!! OMG!!! To funny! I didn't know this was a NC17 song! Of course she's too young to understand it anyway. I look over to her and she's just dancing and wiggling her fingers as if SHE's signing. Then I REALLY start LMAO!! Keep you the great work!
That was so funny, esp if you ignore the audio and just read the signs. Great job!
Man, these videos are awesome. So is Jonathan Coulton.
Love every second of this video. Lead singers body language is amazing.
THANK YOU FOR ADDING THE GLOSS! :D
Yep, it's that day to share this video again. I'll never stop.
I've learned a little bit of ASL since the last time I watched this, and the ending really got me lol 😂
My favorite video of this great song!
Honest to God, I can't decide which of these 3 is my favorite in this video. They all crack me up!
It's that special time of year again!
My God, you guys are brilliant.
One of my new favorite videos. You guys are amazing!

Happy first of may, I vaguely understood some of the signing with my limited BSL knowledge - I consider this an achievement.
The song I don't know, but it's HILARIOUS! Good signing :)
