The fact that he overdubbed a singular extra “wHite” just makes this song even better

4:23 at the end of the "oh shit" you can hear a space bar click, it's Bo stopping the take. Really reminds you of all the hard work Bo put into this

The world is changing The planet's heating up What the fuck is going on? (Recorded laughter) Rearranging It's like everything happened all at once Um, what the fuck is going on? (Recorded laughter) The people rising in the streets The war, the drought The more I look, the more I see nothing to joke about Is comedy over? Should I leave you alone? 'Cause, really, who's gonna go for joking at a time like this? Should I be joking at a time like this? [Pre-Chorus: Bo Burnham] I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it And I fear that comedy won't help And the fear is not unfounded Should I stop trying to be funny? Should I give away my money? No! What do I do? [Chorus: Bo Burnham & Ethereal Voice] Healing the world with comedy The indescribable power of your comedy The world needs direction From a white guy like me (Bingo) Who is healing the world with comedy That's it! [Spoken: Bo Burnham] The world is so fucked up. Systematic oppression, income inequality, the other stuff... And there's only one thing that I can do about it. While- While being paid and being the center of attention [Chorus: Bo Burnham] Healing the world with comedy Making a literal difference, metaphorically A Jew walks into a bar, and I've saved him a seat That's healing the world with comedy [Verse 2: Bo Burnham] I'm a special kind of white guy I self-reflected, and I want to be an agent of change So I am gonna use my privilege for the good (Very cool, way to go!) American white guys We've had the floor for at least four-hundred years So maybe I should just shut the fuck up I'm bored I don't wanna do that There's got to be another way (Yes) For me to help out without standing on the sidelines (Never) The wait is over I'm white, and I'm here to save the day Lord, help me channel Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side (Sandra Bullock) [Chorus: Bo Burnham] Healing the world with comedy Making a literal difference, metaphorically And yes, most likely, they'll pay me, but I'd do it for free I am healing the world with comedy [Bridge: Bo Burnham] If you wake up in a house that's full of smoke Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke If you see white men dressed in white cloaks Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke Oh, shit Should I be joking at a time like this? If you start to smell burning toast You're having a stroke or overcooking your toast If you wake up in a house that's full of smoke Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke If you see white men dressed in white cloaks Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke Oh, shit Should I be joking at a time like this? Somebody help me out 'cause I don't know [Pre-Chorus: Bo Burnham] And I want to help to leave this world better than I found it And I fear that comedy won't help, and the fear is not unfounded Should I stop trying to be funny? Should I give away my money? No! I know what I gotta do [Chorus: Bo Burnham] Healing the world with comedy Making a literal difference, metaphorically I swore I'd never be back, and now, I'm back on my feet And I'm healing the world with comedy

3:26 w headphones is so amazing

This is the deepest connection I’ve felt to the special. What does that say about me.

can we talk about how well he did the harmonies in this?

its the "shut the fuck uuuuup" adlib out of nowhere for me

IM PISSING MYSELF THE “NEVERRR”

4:22 when I'm late for work but I left my vocoder on

2:55

My response to this vid being made: 2:46

This is so perfect wowi! It played the original melody when it needed to and needed you to sing when you need to. GOD DAMN chefs kiss

For some reason this version doesn’t have the first “call me up and tell me a joke” section at about 3:50… it’s my favorite part and I need it.

he’s a fucking genius like actually

this made me fall in love with the song all over again. thank you.

Thank you so much for this!

hey thank you so much for these GREAT karaokes!!! I am having so much fun translating these lyrics to my native language for fun and sing them with a friend. We are Bo Burnham fans ✌ and this is basicly original quality. so thank you ❤ we need fun in these weird times.

This is actually perfect, did you get the stems somehow??

love your bo stuff. I might use one or two in a video I'm making for him. I will link/credit you, of course. Subbed up and am glad I found you. Cool spot, bro

Thank you

"Shut the fuck up" "I don't wanna do that"

2:55 send this to someone without context

This is so fucking funny 🤣 Who knew the isolated background harmonies would be the true comedy of the song

Does this mean there's an isolated track of the vocals somewhere?

Can you do a tutorial on how to get the stems hidden in the netflix surround sound audio?

OH SHEEEEEEEEEEEET

666th like MMMM SATAN YOU TASTE SO GOOOD

This is very impressive

…BINGO

BINGO
