I love the smiling 21st Century Schizoid Man pfp so much, it always makes my day when I see someone else using it

1) My 7 year old daughter singing Chop Suey on Rock Band is creepy on an anachronistic level, let alone creepy content at a high pitch. 2) Excellent Monkey Island screen name sir.

@@YoungEldritch that picture is a year old? I JUST discovered it

For me it’s the “diiiiiiieeee” part where it’s both of them singing

He sounds drunk

He's sluring because he's saying it fast. Almost anyone would.

...and doing a really bad job at it because they only say lines after they were sung, much to the singer's annoyance

@@LauraLowe my thoughts exactly after reading that first comment

Alex Owens haha yess. That’s exactly it.

As someone who is anxious, this song sums it up perfectly.

honestly that's my entire life

NICE PFP

Fuck that's good. I struggle with anxiety and that's an apt analogy.

this is amazing :) my dad is a system of a down fan so this one broke him, too. this song is dad kryptonite!!

Has happened to me before, can confirm it sounded like this.

considering this is the equivalent of system of a John, this is your song!

I thought this song was some System of a Down mashup hahahaha

He sounds like drunk Markiplier screaming tbh I love it

@@Nieveria it fits and I hate it

Serj... Seg THEY'RE PRONOUNCED THE SAME WAY!

I'm thinking like a scene where some guys in his bathroom after his family left and hes just getting fucked up on drugs and then he goes on some drug trip which ends up with him getting in jail

I'm thinking that there's a dead hooker in there somewhere, and he didn't even order a hooker!

I'm imagining a naive college student that finally decided to buy some weed. He's sitting in the living room of a dealer he heard about from some stoner in his Chem class. TRYING to make small talk as his palms sweat....suddenly he gets a break from fumbling through conversation by a knock at the door. The dealer answers and it's a couple of pissed off junkies. The dealer sold them some coke that was so diluted it was ready for a kid's science fair (baking soda). The nervous kid then gets to witness an argument, knives, blood, and bodies as this song plays in the background.

There needs to be another season of The Umbrella Academy, and this song needs to be in it.

Like a Tarantino film.

+Rick K. _Please_ record it next time.

Brennan Sullivan I think someone has. If I get my hands on it, I'll upload it.

I so want to do this for some of the mash-ups I've heard that largely use the instrumental from one song, and the lyrics from another. I feel it would take some practise though.

Yeah true that. Al is a legend and treasure. I love his music so much.

You know what, man. Weird Al is not produce the Chop Suey!, which is produced in Angry White Boy Polka in the album of Poodle Hat in 2003. I can't retrieve that one.

Agreed

It's not the mashup you wanted, but the mashup you needed.

naw, u need FEMA camps

+Sergio Ramirez Wndrwll is back up!

I was so worried! And so relieved when I saw this one.

Especially as even the original band loved this :(

Yeah but Neil made a video for this song out of the Chop Suey music video and it got taken down.

Paul Kay Did they react to it anywhere?

it's neil it's what he do

IT JUST WORKS

Neil could mix AC/DC and modern campy pop and make it sound good. Hell, that's what he did! AC/VC!

@@fuzer909 IT JUST WORKS LITTLE LIES STUNNING SHOWS PEOPLE BUY MONEY FLOWS IT JUST WORKS

Everything he touches works.

g33k_ d4sh The world may never truly know.

hey that would make a great concept for a neil song

The same supposed human made Potter Puppet Pals, The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, Brodyquest, three mash-up albums (Mouth Sounds, Mouth Silence, Mouth Moods, which largely contributed to the All-Star meme), Animutations, Splendorman, New Kids on the Rock, Spirit Phone, and who knows what else. Imagine being responsible for that insane amount of Internet history. Truly superhuman.

@@mehhhhh421 forgot this comment existed

your **if** is misplaced there

the genre is Neil

you didn't listen to this as a serious song?

The genre is call “music? yes?”.

Music has had serious lyrics set to upbeat beats since the 80s. Listen to "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears.

the automatic assumption of irony when dealing with mashups as a genre is challenged by neil cicierega's albums. that's like... if there is any "point" it's that, i think, as shown by the fact that the first song in the two-album experience is samples from All Star by Smash Mouth set to the tune of the high-class, "deep and complex music" classical song "Pictures at an Exhibition: Promenade" by Mussorgsky. the contrast between both the sort of joked about early 2000s/late-90s crappy pop-rock stuff, and the mashup genre itself, and high society stuff like mussorgsky is, i think, carrying a message of there not really being a difference between any of those things, and music can be awesome and enjoyable to listen to even if it is made out of other music

Wow, this actually makes sense and is really poignant. Thanks for that!

EJS88 But it's not tho

I disagree, man. Different strokes I guess. Like this better than either original, and I love both originals.

EJS88 The simple beat of this just doesn't do justice to the beautiful technical work of those original instruments. But hey, you appreciate what you appreciate lol

I thought that too!!!!! :DDD

it's the same chord progression, the 60's progression

YES

Careful, it'd be a graveyard smash!

YOU SON OF A BITCH. YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS

You know Serj would love it.

I was in a Chop Suey thread a few years ago, Serj dropped in randomly and said something to the effect of "this is still my favorite version ;)" and dropped a link to this song, and vanished

Now that we know Serj has seen this and loved it, all we need is for Elton John to see this too.

M. ierardi I really want to find this thread but I can’t lol

no

Joel? Did you download boobs again, Joel?

Which original?

Bryce I feel the same way about the Psychosocial/Baby mashup. Better than both songs it uses.

The Funniest Valentine System of a Down - Chop Suey

at my job crocodile rock comes on and i always get so disappointed

Dude, literally same. I didn't recognize it at first but then I realized it was Chop Suey and I like this version so much more than the original.

Shut It Down OMG SAME!!!

Same

That's the Cicierega effect. It's when you listen to a song, and remember that it was in a mash-up made by Neil himself. Your brain then supplants the lyrics or instrumental backing of the mashup on top of the original song's.

***** Lol you can't even lift.

Most of Neil’s songs are moods tbh

Pls let’s be friends

Despite the fact that Down with the Sickness is a Disturbed song, while Chop Suey is a System of a Down song.

@@PizzaHutAsuka it's almost like this guy does mashups or something.

what else?

@@PokerBEAST He's pioneered so many things... you know those early internet videos where they'd play a weird song and move some MS-Paint level art around? That's called an animutation and he basically invented it. For a more recent example that a lot of people know but don't know it's him -- Potter Puppet Pals.

honestly same what a mood
