I love how this actually looks like something you’d find at the actual Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum.

It's so cute how his tie keeps changing to match the members of the band!

Notice how sotrie's tie and bow color change every different scene to correspond to the ties and bows of tally hall.

These guys have some of the most visually interesting music videos I've ever seen. This one in particular.

Andrews voice is just so unique. Its so quirky. Feels like a hot drink on a cold night

I love how the part where he says “please don’t just laugh or clap right now” people are clapping along

I have a feeling that this is one of those really upbeat songs that have messed up lyrics, but I don't get them so I can't say for sure.

Ok but why is no one talking about how beautiful Andrew's voice is? I love it so much

0:56 Oh my god, this video has a literal Chekhov's gun. (When an item important to the plot is teased early in the beginning and the people watching are only made aware of the importance just before the story ends.)

Andrews voice is so good here he should've sung more

You know what I realized? The guy never actually straight up says "no one's better than you". He only says things like "in the end I'd like to say no one's better than you" or "concluding in the song we'll say no one's better than you"

The basic allegory and prose that the best leaders are the ones that allow you to self govern, and that they will always have a gun pointed at them for saying the truth. Pretty sophisticated yet oh powerful of a message.

When it began, I was confused. At the end I was confused. I was confused throughout this entire video.

I really love this song

Lyrics: There's lots of pretty people here Sharing sotries and passing letters and There's lots of questions answered And metaphysical astronomical songs Words printed all on papers that Seem too mystical it's so magical People that dance and compute that No one's better than you There's kings in distant cities Who rule their persons and make them happy and We won't forget about all the servisory congratulatory Even the animals know that Something's brewing and they're all cooing 'Cause in the end I'd like to say No one's better than you I hope you're happy now that I've revealed the truth I've even written this whole song about you And not about me And not about me... Please don't just laugh and clap right now This is serious I'm not delirious I've waited very patiently just to let you know Who should run this show 'Cause we all know these are the facts Nothing to retract nothing too abstract Concluding in this song I'll say No one's better than you No one's better than you No one's better than you

I miss tally hall...

The view count's broken. It's only showing my views.

This song is absolutely my favorite from Tallyhall. I wouldn't even say it's close. The song is genuinely just so beautiful, and its one of the only songs that makes my cry. I find the music video to be very beautiful, happy, and sad at the same time and its incredible. The symbolism was also great. Thank you Tallyhall for touching my heart with this song.

I wish this was longer. ;~;

i love some of tally hall songs it just have an old 20s feel

I started singing this song and my friends said I sound like Kermit trying to do the voice at the beginning of the song

God I’ve just gotten into this band this year and I’m already in deep obsession with it. This Song really gives me the upbeat vibe

I haven't seen anyone properly decypher the theme of this song yet. Tally hall aren't just musicians- they're poets, so every line counts. If you don't know why a line exists, you're probably missing something. So, I'll share my thoughts; A lot of people wanna say tally hall is talking about a spouse or something. But in the song, he's not saying 'She/he/they'. He's saying 'You'. He's talking to US. Another thing that's important to remember is that the singer is somebody named Andrew Sotry- a misspelled version of 'Story'. So, the president, or the 'highest office' is the Story. Sotry is also our main singer, who, at the end, is assasinated by a gun that was crafted by the spectator. The viewer is killing the story. I believe this song is about b everyones individual interpretation of Tally Hall's songs, and how sometimes viewers take themselves too seriously and, once they find a strong interpretation, they put their word for what the song is about as absolute, sharing it and spoiling other people's interpretations of the song. In this, the viewer is assasinating the story by solving it. "Nothing too abstract" - Sometimes lyrics aren't super deep. "Please don't laugh or clap right now, this is serious, I'm not delirious" - Many people enjoy the songs and listen to them without thinking too hard about it. In reality, these songs may be a cry for help- not the ramblings of a madman or just another pop song. "I hope you're happy now, I've revealed the truth. I've even written this whole song about you, and not about me, and not about me" - Ultimately, the person with the most control over a story is the spectator, because they can fill in any gaps they want, and they get to answer all their own questions. Tally hall is basically having the Story say 'Yep, you got me. I'm just a story. And this story isn't about me. Its a story about you.', this also creates some inception, since- if the story is about you... then maybe Andrew Sotry is us, and we're spoiling the song for ourselves by understanding it. It's like how people thought Banana Man was a song about drugs, but Tally Hall said that it wasn't. Maybe that was just to cause chaos, maybe it was true... but either way, this shows how an incorrect interpretation can spread like a wildfire. Especially with Tally Hall's abstract and symbolic music. "Seems to mystical" = "Seems to miss the goal", maybe this is Tally hall introspecting on how their own themes both inspire others- but can be entirely different from what they intended. I have more to say; but not off the top of my head. I'll probably edit this comment later and add more. For now, I wanna hear what others have to say about my interpretation.

wow I just realised this song (with the video) has three meanings. The straightforeward, feel good, you're a great person message The sort of mocking tone, which is only noticed if you precede the 'no-one's better than you' with 'given the choice between you and no-one' And the message the video gives of a man telling the public they're better than 'kings in distant cities' ,so sort of promoting left-wing politics, and then getting shot for it. correct me if I'm wrong there.

I went on Amazon and bought the CD as soon as I saw this. Your songs just keep getting better and better.

To me, this song has a very positive vibe, but it also makes me want to cry, thinking that the members of Tally Hall have now grown up and each one of them has their own life. I'm happy for them, but it's kinda sad that we'll most likely never get songs that they made together anymore. Anyway, i hope that whoever reads this is having a nice day!

I want a tally hall the movie made up with stuff like these music videos

Wait, am I misinterpreting the lyrics, or is this song complete sarcasm?

Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedy's!

Out of all of the music videos that Tally Hall has, why is this one so hella underrated? Deserves more love tbh.

tally hall is amazing. I don't know why more people don't know about them

I don't think anyone else really realized this but this whole music video might a reference to Marvin's marvelous mechanical museum, because we can see that guy (presumably Marvin) making a whole wind up display.

The video is perfection. Plain and simple.

I wish this song was longer.

This is the best thing ever. The music is amazing. The video is stunning. The symbolism makes my head spin. This is my new favorite song, video, and band.

fun fact: this video is now the age that youtubers are attracted to

i like this song because it sounds like he's telling you that you're the best person in the world but he's actually telling you "no one" is better then you

I’m currently listening to this while my parents are fighting, it really helps, Tally hall songs are usually comforting to me but this one especially, it feels happy yet calm at the same time. It’s one of my favorite songs

Did... ...Did Andrew shoot Joe.....

The dislikes are all the kings in distant cities.

Huey Long was a southern politician in the 30s and 20s he was a left wing populist promoting slogans such as every man a king. He became governor of Louisiana where he began new programs to help approve education and infrastructure in the state. He created the share the wealth program guaranteeing everyone a hosue,radio, and a car. He was rival to FDR for the democratic bid and some claim he was the favorite to win. Unfortunately he was shot before he could have a chance of winning the election. Just thought about him while watching the video a few times over also I recommend looking into him.

No one's better than you tally hall! cause this music is great and my day is great because of it!

Andrews voice is so magestic

My favorite line though is "I hope your happy now that I have revealed the truth, I've even rented this whole song about you, and not about me... and not about me."

wait. the man who made the box is the ruler of everything.

these guys are immensely talented. I just go crazy over this rehashed, vintage music stuff and didn't know there was a band out there who did it!

Interesting. Every figure's behavior is determined by outside forces: namely, the creator's push and the gears' inertia. Indeed, both the politician and assassin are ultimately controlled by the same outside forces.

tally hall give me those... something here went wrong. but they are really happy. vibes

Andrew Sotry’s Tie Colors at Which Time (I assume nobody has done this yet as I can’t find it) 1:09 - 1:48 = Green for Andrew 1:49 - 1:55 = Red for Joe 1:57 - 1:59 = Blue for Zubin 2:12 - 2:14 = Yellow for Rob 2:22 - 2:27 = Grey for Ross 2:30 - 2:49 = Red for Joe(again)

whenever I think I'm done with Tally Hall, this song always brings me back.

Luigi and Toad are about to enjoy their new McDonald's happy meals!

I want to hide a top hat and cane under my bed, and some confetti and champagne in various spots around my room, then I want to start making out with someone on my bed, get undressed, and then spontaneously start singing this song. During the la la la part I'd reach down and pull out the hat and cane and then sing the rest of the verses while dancing around the room and pulling out random party supplies then place the champagne next to the bed, and then end the song crawling back into bed and carrying on as if nothing happened. This is the only way I could ever do this song justice if I were to sing it myself.

i cant believe i just witnessed an assassination of a man also named andrew.

Crayola sidewalk chalk commercial song! No way! Im kidding it's a tally hall masterpiece, tally hall is everywhere and you cannot escape

0-100 real quick

Two meanings to “No one’s better than you.” Better you than anyone or better no one than you.

If Andrew ran for president 2024 I would totally vote for him lol

2:34 "Juno was mad he knew he'd been had so he shot at the sun with a gun, shot at his wily one only friend....."

I think the funniest line in all of music is just "Sharing Sotries and passing letters and"

There's a playlist on the channel called 'My top Videos' and this is the only one in it, Joe must really like this one.

y'know, ive almost lost my ability to cry, but this nearly got me to do so.

the start: 😀 the final: 💀

Andrew voice is so adorable!! 💚

THIS SONG GOT ME TWERKING

i just realized that the tie of the andrew guy is actually changing colors throught the video, and the colors all represent the tally hall cast tie's colors

you guys are my absolute favorite new band. i really think it is safe to call you all musical geniuses.

this song is much better when you take into consideration that the music video has puppets in it

My girlfriend showed me this years ago. I almost completely forgot about this song entirely, until I heard a snippet of it and the gut punch I received. Something about the voice. The chirpy tune. It almost makes me sick the nostalgia, but got this song is gorgeous

Ok i've listened to this song so many times and I KNOW the lyrics but I can't help hearing "they're all pooing" instead of cooing, IT SOUNDS SO SIMILAR XD

The Music:😄 The Lyrics:🙂 The Music Video:😦

HIS TIE CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO TO REPRESENT THE MEMBERS OF TALLY HALL! OMG!

The best part is how andrew really made it feel more urgent towards the end, like holy crap this is serious you're gonna get shot

i feel like this would play in a cereal commercial

Fun fact: Andrew actually misspelled “stories” and they just stuck with “sotry” even naming the guy in the video Andrew sotry

When I was like 13, this used to be my absolute favorite song of theirs.

the fact that this man wrote this masterpiece within an hour is immaculate

happy birthday Andrew!!

I swear I have the one line “please dint just laugh and clap right now, this is serious” stuck in my head I want it to end

Seeing this video and realizing this song was in a crayola commercial… Oop

I like to think of it as no ones better than you in the sense that they'd rather be alone than around *you*

tally hall honestly makes the best music videos

When I first heard this I thought it came from Elmo

I have a theory that all songs in mmmm are about attractions at the museum.

This is the only music video I've ever seen that 100% PERFECTLY fits the tone of the song. I cannot imagine a single detail that could be improved (other than the video resolution ofc)

(I posted this as a reply to another comment, but i wanted to make it my own comment too) I think that for Tally Hall, the music videos and songs have a big disconnect from each other. They have similar themes, but I don't think the song is about politics at all. Considering the rest of the album, and that this song comes right after Haiku, I would reckon this song is about overly romanticizing something. Notice how the singer never actually describes the person who they're talking too, his words are devoid of actual meaning. He's so caught up in love that he never considers the other persons emotions at all. This ties into the video by showing Sotrie give everything he has to the people, only for them to, in the end, betray him. Ultimately I think this song is about how you can't force people to love you (a similar theme is present in Hidden in Sand) and that no sappy love song can change that.

andrew feels like a child, i love it.

I remember when this came out omg i feel so old😭😭

Fun fact: “sotries” was an accidental misspelling of “stories” and actually made it to the final cut

I just realizes he wears a tie with all the colors. He starts with a Green tie, then a blue one, then yellow, then a grey bowtie at the party, and at the end a red one.

ID GIVE UP MY LIFE SAVINGS FOR THOSE PUPPETS

This song make me feel so happy and comforted

“What’s this? A demo for Mario Party DS oh boy I can’t wait to play”

This is one of my favorite songs of yours! You guys rock!

2:00 they predicted the funny clown. like holy cow!

i learnt this song on piano, it was the first song i learned on it! thank you tally hall for making another masterpeice

I think this song was in a crayola commercial

Bring back tallyhall 2023

Thats one hell of a crayola chalk commercial

2:40 Is it just me or does that look like Greg Heffley’s silhouette

Amazing video. I truly believe that you guys will conquer the world with your musical genius. Really.
