HE Hey little girl you look so nice in that pretty red dress with those pretty black eyes! SHE Hello Mr Wolf, well what a surprise To find you here so deep in the night! HE My dear little thing, what's rush? How about supper - just the two of us? SHE Oh Mr Wolf you want me to stay But I fear we'll regret it one day.. BOTH I have the thing you love But the need in you is way too much If I open wide One of us may get lost inside Me or you One of us is going to Need to Die HE My dear little girl - just a bite And you will be consumed with delight! SHE Oh Mr Wolf my hunger's real But they say there's more to love than a meal.. HE They're old and uptight - what do they know? I'm all appetite - you'll help me grow! SHE Oh my love I want you too But my desire may prove your doom BOTH You have the thing I love But the need in me is way too much If I open wide One of us may get lost inside Me or you One of us is going to Need to Die If I taste you Will we know If love kills Or makes you whole Tears you open Takes you home? You have the thing I love But the fear in me is way too much If I open wide One of us may get lost inside Me or you One of us is going to Need to Die I have the thing, the thing you love Die Love Die

I think this a metaphor for a toxic relationship where the guy thinks he has more power than the woman (little red) but it’s actually she who is more dangerous because she’s more manipulative since he needs her more than she needs him so you see that at the end with their shadows reflecting the true situation. A codependent toxic relationship

As the song goes on the wolves voice gets softer and more human like whereas the girls voice stays constant throughout the song, he changes for her but she doesn’t change for him

Honestly, I think the story in this song is pretty straightforward. The woman only feels interest or attraction torwards the dangerous side of Mr.Wolf. Whenever he tries more romantic/genuine things, she immediately shows disinterest. She's weirdly calm during the entire sequence where both are in imminent danger and even says she has an appetite that can't be easily satiated. She doesn't love the man, she only loves the thrill he can provide. So when he starts to show a softer side, she loses interest completely.

I like to think that the wolf at first just wants the girl for her body but through out the song the wolf starts to look past her body and falls for her. And at first the girl wants the wolf for himself but by the time the wolf starts to actually falls in love, the girl has lost interest realizing that the wolf only wanted her body.

Bro, it looks like Jessica Rabbit, Betty Boop, and Stewie Griffin fused together to make a new character called "Stewica Boop Rabbit"

“Oh mister wolf, my hunger is real, but they say there’s more to love then a meal” The wolf: they’re boomers

She's clearly interested in the animal. She's dancing to his rhythm the moment she meets him. Flirting with him because of his danger. Going through big traps and seeing death at every turn? This shit she's into. When he talks about growing, and their floating through the sky.. She's disinterested 1:43 . And then again, at 1:47 , he's trying to do romantic gestures of taking her to a picnic with wine and.. She's so not into it she spills the wine on the blanket. Only really investing herself when in moments later the wine cup is sharp, full of pills, hard liquor, weapons and a skull. The scenes of violence we're shown is her expectation of the man. She expects a wolf- a dangerous untamed creature. Expectation doesn't meet reality. He falls in love. He gets the door for her. Is sweet and avoids dangers, keeping in the light instead of the darkness. It's revealed he's a man- not an animal at all. 3:57 . So she breaks it off with him, turning him into an animal in the end.. but a meek hurt prey, not the beast she desired.

Is it just me or is the human version of the wolf a really pleasing design? Like honestly slay!1!1!1!

What if really, this isn’t a metaphor and we actually just eating people

People: *Are dead and bleeding out* Couple in the background: *sLiDe To tHe LeFt*

I can’t be the only one who found it kinda sweet how that short little man was dancing with a way taller lady and she was bent over for him just having the time of their lives. Well not for long.. Edit: I just realized I’ve commented on here before a year ago

This was given to me in the start of a very passionate relationship, as a warning. and now that it has ended ever so bitterly, oddly enough, It's serving me as a comfort song. Thank you for a great creation.

Mr Wolf: exists She: Im about to ruin this man's whole career

Other people: *looking for the deeper meaning of this song* Me: *wondering how she's even walking in a dress that short*

God when the wolf says "what do they know" with that affect he uses on his voice is so lovely. 1:33

I like how the girl wins in the end. She didn’t directly kill the wolf but she mentally tortured him it looks like.

A man in wolf's clothing and a wolf in woman's clothing.

Here's my theory: The wolf has a hat.

Looking back at this now, I can see what they meant when they said the woman was the true villain. Mr Wolf at the start has a simple desire "to have a little bite", a "meal", the primal desire for her body. The woman starts with simple warning that if he stayed with her, they'd both regret it. She is baiting him deeper into his desire to win her over by playing into his insecurities and desperation. It starts out with them trying to go on dates for a bit, having the common ground that it could end up with one of them too into it while Mr Wolf is unaware of the inner demon getting closer to him. The woman in response to Mr Wolf's pleads for a exchange of just a "bite" between the two states that her "hunger" or drive is there but suggests that their relationship is lacking in the romantic side, which leads Mr Wolf to decide to change for her with her help. Here she again baits him by warning that her desire will lead to his end solidifying to him that he is indeed the problem. Time passes and he discovers a corpse she had killed and confronts her about it but ends convinced to kill people for her hand. The background is filled with stuff he has gotten for her but it is not enough and he is lead by her into a world of drugs, alcohol and death. Mr Wolf at one point opposes it all but is tamed by her violent threats. The inner demons are now dancing around them as Mr Wolf stays ignorant to it and the trees of the forest where they met now represent the true nature of their relationship. When he finally realizes the truth it is too late. He compares the allure of what she has been giving to him to the massacred dance floor he had done it for. He was being used and he has nothing in his life anymore as he gave it all away to become better for her. At that realization the Wolf is gone, he has died inside plunging into mental hell that can only be soothed by his addiction to alcohol, forever chased by the faded strong reins of control over him.

This song is absolutely amazing. I’m half tempted to go through the song later and pick apart each frame to try and piece together the story

I love how HE'S the one in danger

I feel like the story is not about two murderers, but two serial cheaters. The Wolf and the Damsel are the two kinds of cheaters. The Wolf is a homewrecker, he targets couples and tears them apart due to his selfish desires, which is represented by literally tearing couples apart, and how he is hunted by others from the shadows (Private detectives who are investigating allegations of infidelity). The Damsel on the other hand is the one who has no fidelity to her lover, she is ready and willing to toss him aside the moment someone else catches her attention, and she doesn't have much attention for the Wolf to begin with, in many scenes she is looking off to the side with complete disinterest, only occasionally sparing a glance towards her suitor. Both of them are capable of "Killing" the other through their habits, but they aren't just warning the other, they are also afraid that the other may do to them that they do to others, a sort of karma for their actions. In the end, the Damsel cheats on the Wolf, and the Wolf is heartbroken, represented to being cast to rock bottom along with other men who've had their heart's broken, drowning his sorrows, chased by the memory of what she did to him.

Notice how at 0:23 she claims to be "surprised" to find him there in the middle of the dark forest. In fairy tales of wolf and red ridding hood I believe she finds the wolf within a forest. In all likelihood she either went into the forest with the purpose of catching him with the wolf being her prey or given both suffer from similar issues, a voracious appetite, that is why they end up finding each other in the same place. People with similar problems or backgrounds tend to bump into each other. Even if she went out to find him it's not like the wolf, given he is cut from the same cloth, is going to pass by an opportunity to satiate his appetite. Both parties claim to not know what will happen in the relationship and indicate at 2:07 that either one could end up on top. Both initially expressed the desire for their appetite to not overwhelm the other though both expect it will occur. It seems to be the nature of their activity or behavior will inevitably lead to such an outcome. They are indulging in their appetites together instead of addressing the flaw or at least managing it. It goes to show then that it was never a given who would come out on top in their flawed relationship, whose flaws would overwhelm the other. Throughout the video you can see the wolf killing people, but I believe it is not frequent or in large numbers until it gets out of hand later with the woman being fine with it. The wolf used to only indulge his appetite sparingly and carefully with the right environment to avoid being caught only to later ignore the detectives he is worried about symbolizing the consequences of his actions. His initial kills appear around the same image of him being perched on a ledge at one point. He is enjoying his appetite still and expressing it by howling to the moon only to later not be doing so. Furthermore, initially blood appears behind closed doors only for it to be out in the open later. It could even be interpreted that at the big party either his/their "excessive appetite" is hurting those around them as well as each other or the people at the big party also like to indulge in the same activity/behavior only for it to get them too. On their way there to the party the couple had to dodge multiple obstacles with various close calls. Perhaps the people at the party aren't so lucky. If you look at 3:28 one woman is even tired from engaging in the activity (the appetite), but can't stop herself from continuing. Likewise even with many people dying around them everyone keeps dancing as if nothing is wrong until only a few remain. Some appear more aware of their surroundings, the lethality of the problem, but are also unable to overcome it. I think the idea behind this involves two people starting a relationship where perhaps both parties have certain bad traits, but they are upfront about them and still want to be together. The wolf's bad traits are more visible even though the woman actually admits to having her own voracious appetite. By being together around those also over indulging in certain activities or bad habits one's bad habits get worse until it's too much. The final competing interpretations is whether the woman got into the relationship for the purpose of satisfying herself at the expense of the wolf or the woman is also a victim who is used to the voracious appetite more than the wolf and is better at managing or hiding it. It is possible the "self-destructive" behavior of both parties just leads to different outcomes where for the woman it has consumed her to the point where she can not feel anything outside of those moments, which is why she appears to be unemotional most of the time whereas the wolf instead becomes consumed by expressing it. Theoretically the woman could have even picked up the "voracious appetite" by being in the "dark forest" only to negatively impact those around her where the wolf represents the problem that the guy she is with later picks up as well by being with her. Regardless at the end of the video you can see demons running rampant indicating they are both continuing down that path regardless.

I think people take a lot of the song too literally and other parts not literally enough. The wolf is dead before the final scenes, the final scenes are recontextualizing everything we've seen and showing the girl was the predator in this specific situation all along.

Wolf: "Hey, little girl! You look so nice... in that pretty black dress with those pretty black eyes!" Girl: *Shoots the Wolf*

She is so calm about all of this, its like she is done with everything lol

As an artist, this video is one of by biggest inspirations! How the characters move and the colors is just really interesting to watch and examine. The story of this music video is also very compelling, nice to know that people are still trying to piece it together. One of my favorite parts is at 2:07, when the girl got slightly more expressive than in the rest of the video. The pacing and scenes shown is overall just incredible to look at. A lot of passion and work went into this and it definitely shows, wonder work

She's like a vampire, sucking the life out of you slowly without you noticing until you feel dead and dreaded, while the wolf seemed interested in her body but soon realized that he wasn't the big bad wolf here, SHE was the hunter from the begging but at the same time she could be just playing him from the start

Me:*hears nothing at the start* Me:*blasts the audio to try to hear* The video: *ＨＥＹＬＩＴＴＬＥＧＩＲＬ*

I have a weird theory that the lady is The Devil in disguise, just to make Mr. Wolf pay for his sins, hence the ending with Mr. Wolf falling down to hell.

I keep re-watching this, the story telling is just too good! The fact that the wolf's voice gets softer as the song continues just proves how he ended up loving her, yet she was never that for that in the first place. It's a friend's with benefits to one sided love that just turns so bitter sweet! 😭

1:33 “ there old and uptight, whata they know, I’m all appetite, you’ll help me to grow” I am obsessed with this part!!! It sounds so melodic and enchanting!! Great music and animation!!

2011: Nah.. 2012: Nah.. 2013: Nah.. 2014: Nah.. 2015: Nah.. 2016: Nah.. 2017: Nah.. 2018: Nah.. 2019: Let's put this in recommended!

The Wolf: **goes on a fucking killing spree** The band: *we're used to this, nothing to worry about* The only two people dancing: *this is f i n e*

I would love to animate this to my ocs one day once I start animating. It's just such an amazing song and I'm so glad that my recommendations reminded me of it!

One thing I noticed (after watching this for the millionth time) is that the Wolf spends pretty much the entire song looking at her, whereas she only gives him occasional glances and is usually looking ahead or at the viewer. She's everything to him, but to her, he's only a vague passing interest.

Nobody Not a single soul My headphones: *HEY LITTLE GIRL* me: had a litral heart attack

Normal people: “oh cool” Grammar nazis: **Heavy Breathing** *THE WEREWOLF AND I*

each of the character designs are so immaculate!! the human woman's design is so pretty, and the wolf's human form is so pretty!! the wolf form matches the 1930s cartoon aesthetic so well!

I like the werewolf metaphor in this. He thinks he's big and powerful when in reality she's using him like a dog.

When I just listen to the audio apart from the music video, I imagine a male werewolf and female vampire falling in love and trying to maintain a relationship while both having the urge to devour each other.

3:41 The couple in the background: "Maybe if we keep dancing, they do not notice us."

They post the lyrics in the comments, respond to fans and commentators... They got a bomb ass animated video and a great style.

It's interesting how the woman's expression barely changes and shows little to no emotion in most scenes. She doesn't even seem to react to all the carnage Mr Wolf does during the dance. Also, while she does look a bit worried during the early moments, she has a very relaxed body language once Mr. Wolf approaches her. As if she was looking for him. She also shows no emotions when she says "Oh my love, I want you to." giving me the impression she is just saying something the wolf wants to hear from her. It helps or rather doesn't help that she's not even moving her lips when she says that. So did she even say it, did the Wolf thought she said it? (The thought is too good to blame it on an animation error. Seriously.) Then there'S the picnic scene, where she looks more annoyed and her dropping the glass of wine seems to be intended, rather than an accident. Like she doesn't even enjoy his company and only has him around for something specific (which might be his killings). Though she's not entirly heartless, as she is the one to warn Mr Wolf of her being his undoing. And while the first seconds of the song give the impression of the wolf being a predator type and attacking the woman in the end, he never does. Looking at the end, even his, er, double entendres seem to be a bad choice of words from his side, while being completly sincere and honest to her. (The chase scene at the end is quite a giveaway, though.) Though I am not positive of what's happening in the end. Did she dump him and he drowned his sorrow in alcohol? Or was her hunger for violence way too much for him and he drank to forget? Couldn'T the wolf live up to her standards anymore and she got rid of him by killing Mr Wolf? Did Mr. Wolf die or was it more of an metaphorical death? That most scenes are not in chronological order makes the story a bit hard to follow. Overall a really enjoyable story with enough gaps to fill them with theories. Kudos to that, I like it.

It's incredible that this creator has so much respect for their commenters and viewers, to still reply after nearly ten years!

Neither of them are actual murderers in the song (and the video is a figurative representation of the song). 'Mr. Wolf' is an unsavory man who sleeps around with many women, and after losing the woman he loves due to his vices, he indulges even more heavily to drown his woes (shown in the song 'Kix'). Figuratively, he begins preying on innocent women and tearing relationships apart (doing so literally in the video). So, seeing a 'mistress of the night' (not necessarily a prostitute, but definitely someone who has more and worse vices than he and has reason to be wandering about "so deep in the night"), he falls in love. In this case his being the stronger and more fearsome-looking character in the video also represents a feeling of emotional invincibility; he doesn't believe he truly cares about women anymore after having been left previously. He makes advances ("how about supper", "just a bite", and so on), but she warns him away because she is jaded and can no longer trust anyone enough to love them ("if I open wide..."). They form a relationship based on their both having terrible vices, despite her continued insistence it is a bad idea ("they say there's more to love than a meal" mocks his use of "just a bite" and other eating metaphors, which are actually propositions for sex). Eventually they become intimate in the bridge of the song, both of them secretly afraid to love another ("if I taste you, will we know? - if love kills or makes you whole"). Unfortunately for Mr. Wolf, he finds that he does love her, but she doesn't love him. She leaves him much like he left his original partner, and it 'kills' him (in the video we see Mr. Wolf drinking heavily; it may be that he literally drinks himself to death). In the end, she was more dangerous to the wolf than he was to her, inverting the typical fairy tale.

Can we talk about how she doesn't sound surprised at all when she meets him in the woods ? I'll say she even sounds annoyed. Like this is not the first time he tries to court her. It's just that this time she accepts. Maybe out of boredom or pity but it isn't love. She says it right off the bat "I feel like we will regret it one day." And at the end it is clear it's true. She gives him her body but what he wanted was her heart, instead...He got his heart taken away. I feel like at the start of the relationship, that's what he wanted. Her body but as time passed he realised he loved her which if you look at the way she acts...She never cared from the start which drowns him in despair (as we see in the end he is drinking his sorrow away).

I'm in love with the design of the human version of the wolf

Theory: TRTW made this animation completely random so he/she could see what kind of crazy theories people come up with.

3:40 (couple on the right) "Hey babe, should we leave?" "eh... keep dancing this is kind of hot."

Прошло 10 лет, но со своей знакомой продолжаю слушать это без остановки. Это идеально.

I haven't listened to this with headphones before... why does the wolf sound like he's right behind me???? Love it! 😂

KZfaq: 2011-2019: 2020: *HEY LITTLE GIRL*

Here’s my theory: The person in the red dress is a woman

НЕ ПОНИМАЮ НИ ОДНОГО СЛОВА . НО ЗАВОРАЖИВАЕТ ! НАСТОЯЩЕЕ ИСКУССТВО !

I always took it as "Here's another creepy weirdo trying to take advantage of a girl and roofie her or something" but the girl is onto it and flips the table on him. She preys on those who think they're the danger.

This isnt the little red riding hood I grew up with lmao

i like how there still two people left and just keep dancing like we are gonna dance till we die

I'm 10 yrs late to the show; but I'm an instant fan!! Great work

I like it so much. It reminds me of my exes. I've never felt like a confident enough woman to scare all the "wolves" away from me. But over the years of listening to this song, it became my incentive to be as calm and confident as girl in red. Thank you for being in my life.

The fact that this is only getting popular lately makes me think on how much we might be missing on. How much undiscovered old gems are there?

So she dated a werewolf but the guy didn’t know she was a killer so then they went on a killing spree date

The Wolfs voice is soothing ;-;

The theory about being a vampire and a Werewolf is pretty good, because of the entire world of the story trying to kill the couple and then they go for the killing. But I think that maybe they're both trying to manipulate each other, but at the end he falls in love for real and she wins the game and kills him. The last scene was the werewolf drinking at a underworld pub. Or maybe she has a deal with the devil, since many demon creatures appear in the video and was also a serial killer like him, and they started to work together and being chased together. The end is the same, she betrays him and kills him. OR, she was using him for revenge against these guys who where dancing because he kills faster and easier than her alone. End at the end she kills him

I like this cause two people who are serial cheaters come across someone that they actually love but they let the fear of getting to close ruin their relationship.

Me: *has headphones in not realizing how loud it is* Wolf: HEY LITTLE GIRL Me: *has a damn heart attack* sonofabitch-!

The fact that the maker(s) of this video is/are still responding and hearting comments is amazing, massive respect to you

god i remember how much i liked this song and animation when i was a kid, now i’m 18 and i found this video again…i still love it so much, one of my most favourite songs and animations not gonna lie

I’ve never noticed how much this was like a modern Betty Boop cartoon, from the art style to the trippy imagery.

I honestly just love how chill and uninterested she looks throughout the video, only giving a smirk or that angry face, but only for a second.

Who’s here in 2024? Just me?

I just heard this song for the first time yesterday and it's currently my new favorite thing

she looks like a mix of Jessica rabbit and Betty boop and stewie

I think the Girl is something like a Memory that haunts him. She was most likely his girfriend or maybe even wife (before he was a Werwolf). He loved her but in the Night he Transformed he killed her in a killing Frenzy. Now he keeps seeing her chasing after him and even when he drinks he can not forget her. She chases him like a devil and he kills himself maybe after such a drinking night where his hell is to Relive the day over and over again meeting her in a fatefull Night and wanting her and she knows that it will end with the same she dead and him killing himself over and over again and she just walks with him warning him but can not be obvious about it.

My theory is pretty similar to others, but I have a few things to add: Obviously it’s about a very toxic relationship between two bad people. The wolf assumes that he is the one in control between him and the woman. The warning signs were there at the beginning for the wolf about the person the woman truly was, but he truly felt in control of the situation. When the woman started possibly cheating and lying, this drove the wolf into a frenzy and he started taking out his anger onto others, possibly even harming the people she cheated with out of jealousy. After he realized who he had become because of this woman, it was too late. These two both went into this relationship with different yet both very toxic goals. The wolf was a predator, and wanted to use the woman, possibly for sex, while the woman’s motives were unclear from the start, which made her even more dangerous. In the end, one of them was going to come out on top. The woman had the last laugh. That’s just my theory.

Everything about this is incredible!! The battle of wits and morale between the characters, the music is super funky, the animation style being vintage inspired making this all feel nostalgic. I feel so inspired!!!

The fedora really does it for me

I like how the girl's just chill with all of this- and after reading the many theories about this song, it makes me think that she's playing along, because she knows she has the upper hand and is way more dangerous than her lover, who thinks they have the upper hand. And also, they're probably both partners and involved in some Mafia stuff- since after the Wolf's killing spree, they were in the same car, running away. Also, in the start, the girl was in a forest, probably looking for the wolf- since why would someone go in a forest alone, wearing something so damn fancy- maybe after a party or something. She might've been looking for him to warn him, like some other theories say. Really lovely song though. Real bop.

My take on this is; That little red, is someone who lives on the edge, a serial killer, a thrill seeker, whatever you want to call it. I feel like she makes the wolf, who he is. She has no interest in the man, only the wolf who shares her lust for blood. You can see she only looks like she's enjoying herself hen she's with the wolf, when she's with the man she's bored because he isn't what she wants. It looks like as their "relationship" progresses he loses himself, more and more, to her whims. I'm not settled on the ending, on whether he realizes what he's become, or if she kills him physically, rather than metaphorically. It's interesting either way.

I rediscovered this song recently, it feels like entering a safe place. So nostalgic.

His human form is good shit

“If only grandma could see me now”

I love listening to this song every now and again, it really gets my creative juice pumpin!

My theory❤️ Mr. Wolf is a well-known serial killer and his nickname is Mr. Wolf for brutally killing his victims. The woman comes from the government and should approach him and end up killing him. Therefore also the eye, because the two are constantly observed, because the woman has a microphone or something similar. But the woman is a psychopath herself. She also wants to "taste" it, namely the feeling of killing someone else's life. Mr. Wolf has two sides, one where he's a murderer and the other where he's a normal man (the man we see). The woman falls in love with the second page, but knows that she will have to kill him soon. Through him she quenches her thirst for murder and violence and when he thought the two belonged together, she let them die for her own good.

The wolf: Hey little girl- Me: (SCARED SCREAMING)

Girl: people say theres more to love than sex The wolf: oh them? *there boomers*

I remember finding this video 3 years ago, I used to listen to it while doing homework and I had a crush on the crooner for like a week 😭

3:33 Gotta love how the band guys keep playing the song while everyone in front of them is just being absolutely murdered. That's called commitment.

Can't shake the feeling that it's the little lady calling the shots, here

Most people: *trying to find the meaning behind the song* Some dude: Her dress is so short wth Dude 2.0: Hah she’s secretly a mean girl Me: That band really doesn’t pay attention to their whole audience being murdered smh. They must be the real golddiggers here.

This still makes me smile

Bro was puttin his heart and soul into that clarinet

i just love the running animation so much, it's so enjoyable to watch their way of running i have no idea why-

I like how a lot of the female deaths on this animation have no real wound mark or anything, it's like they just died of shock xD

9 years later and this still goes hard 😩

I remember listening to this song so much in 2019! Im returning to it again, its so good!! You guys did an amazing job with these vocals and keeping people hooked

1:34 This gecko right here is the star of the show _Change my mind_

I don’t see any comments about the best character!! The little lizard with the clarinet (1:33)

I can't help but come back to this like yearly. It's become a classic for me. It's beautiful and I aspire to make something this timeless.
