SPLASHSTREET BOYS - I WATER THAT WAY (OFFICIAL BACKSTREET BOYS PARODY)
Lyrics:
Yeah
My yard needs water when it gets hotter
Believe these dry days that I water that way
But we want lawns to survive
Concrete just won’t fly
So I say, I water that way
Tell me why?
Don’t water when it’s rainin
Tell me why?
Don’t water when it’s windy
Tell me why?
Don’t let your water wash away
I water that way
Am I, doin this right?
I’m watering at night
This seems right
I water that way
Tell me why?
Don’t water in the daytime
Tell me why?
Don’t water in the sunshine
Tell me why?
Don’t let it all evaporate
I water that way
Now I can see that you’ve taken to heart
The watering rules baby (Yeah)
So stop wasting water
Start doing your part
The future is in your hands!
You can save water
As it gets hotter
So dry (so dry, so dry, so dry)
What’s ColoradoScape?!
More climate friendly landscapes
More plants that like it in our state (You know we’re not Kentucky, no)
Drought-friendly never felt so great (Oh no)
I water that way
Tell me why?
Don’t water more than three days
In a week!
Don’t water from 10 a.m.
To 6 p.m.
Somebody tell the HOA (forgot the HOA…)
I water that way
Tell me why?
You live in Colorado
You want it to be habitable
Tell me why?
I only want to hear you say
I water that way
Cuz I water it that way

I have never been more obsessed with a music video or municipal infrastructure employees, great work!!!

I second this!
This is an absolutely brilliant parody,mashing municipal services with a great song. The video is terrific and Colorado is proud of you. In the midst of a lot of crappy news, this made my heart smile. I needed that. And yes, I’m now all about bettering my water conservation. Well done everyone!
Raises. All of you get raises.
its the "I love toilet" sign for me
This was hysterical. A great way to get information out about conserving water. Great job on the toilet, Patrick.
One of the best PSA's ever!

I’d argue THE best PSA
Skills: Water Treatment & Processes Additional Skills: 🔥 90s parody creation This is genuinely awesome 👏 👏 👏
This is so pretty fun to watch 😂 I liked that one female member is also playing her part of being a boy band member quite sincerely. All the other members did quite well too. This is should get over 100M views.
As a fellow utility employee (I work at a light company) I LOVE this. putting a fun spin on an important message. So creative and I think there will be followers for sure! Awesome job, never laughed so hard at a water restriction message!
An important message delivered with fun will ALWAYS get better traction than a finger-pointing, crabby "you better do this or else!" command. Good job!
Really thought this was going to be lame BUT, wow, this absolutely, unironically slaps. The woman's facial hair is the cherry on top.
You guys killed it! At first I thought, “Ok, I’ll watch enough just to get a feel”, but I couldn’t stop watching. I’ve watched it three times already, and sent it to everyone I know. And I’m not even from Colorado! When are you going on tour?

I am so in love with this video, that I watch it at least twice a day ☺️🥰
Absolutely brilliant. Rock On, Denver Water!
When do the Splash Boys go on tour? City Park, Wash Park, Ruby Hill, Confluence Park. The stops are endless!
Y’all better get raises out of the marketing budget. Genius. Sheer genius.
This is reminiscent of when commercials were really good and jingles were catchy. WARNING: May cause involuntary musical imagery a.k.a. “stuck song syndrome”. Nailed it! ❤
I've always believed that music is a great way to deliver a message. Well Done!
This is brilliant and funny. Years ago, I was the editor of Government Video magazine, and I would have given you special recognition for this. Deservedly so. Really well done.
This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen! Totally singable and very informative. You’ll be teaching our kids and future generations for many years to come! Thank you ❤
Releasing this on the eve of #ItsGonnaBeMay Day was pure diabolical genius.
I've never been so motivated to be water conscious in my life. Also, what did they do to poor Stacy?

I think it is referring to The Fountains of Wayne song "Stacy's Mom"....maybe?

I took it Stacy was the girl playing Kevin Richardson
This was delightful and effective in relaying the message to save water and water appropriately. Way to go, Denver!
As a public works employee...I love this!!! Kudos to your team!
This is the most brilliant thing I've seen in so long! I'm now one of the sign-holding fans
this literally just appeared on the news and i immediately searched it to watch it….this is amazing ❤❤❤
Greatest video ever! I worked for a water dept in Orange County, CA for 15 years. This covers everything we tried to tell people to do!
I love the ingenuity, creativity and resourcefulness (pun) of this video! Great job!
Great message, one of the all -time great songs ever. Did a fantastic job! Finally found a public message or even a commercial that I won’t fast-forward thru.
Hello from Calgary, Canada. I’ve shared this with as many gardeners as I can. Well done . Great video Calgary has the same climate issues as Denver as our climates are so similar. A great way of getting the water conservation message across. Thank you
We are a bit jealous of your talents.
Congratulations! You've gone international! Daily Mail, UK. GREAT VIDEO!
Greetings from Germany - awesome vocals and airy production! Soooooo wonderful! I need more: Are you on Apple Music or Spotify? Is there a band website?
Well done for trying an innovative campaign to engage the public. Kudos from someone in the UK water industry. Oh, the woman with the sharpie marker goatee almost made me spit my drink out (tap water of course). 🤣
you had me at Sorry Stacy, the white outfits, and, of course, the CEO message!
I never enjoyed a rendition more. As a boy band lover myself, that was the best way to learn how to water. I loved it.❤❤❤❤
Absolutely fantastic. Great job to all those involved in making this. #sorrystacy

But who is Stacy?
I laughed, I cried, I learned about responsible watering. Thank you.
Being an old Backstreet Boys fan, I LOVED it!! I smiled through the whole video. You guys sound great and YOU KILLED IT!!!!
Greetings from Arizona! I live in the metro Phoenix area and the water conservation message really hits home - we all have to do our part. This video is such a hilariously awesome way to get that message out, kudos to all involved. Loved the person in the toilet suit, they should get hazard pay! I will be singing "I water that way.." when I water my plants in the evening....
I have also never been more impressed with a municipal video ❤
I’m from PA and sharing it here in the NE….this is great!
I can't stop watching this 🤣
As a fellow employee at Denver water and an independent musician I love it!!!
Bravo to the Splashstreet Boys! 👏💧
This is absolutely fantastic. Well done!

Saw a clip of this on one of the national news networks the other day. Extremely well done. Bet I've watched it a dozens times and counting. Kudos Denver Water .
So I was mad at myself for not going to bed at 3 AM. I was putting the channel on what I want to watch in the morning when the ABC overnight news talked about this song. So, OF COURSE, I had to spend more time up at 3 AM to watch this. Now I'm kinda glad I stayed up😂
Very cool! People need to ralize this is Colorado reality - we don't have enough water so we need to conserve!
This is absolutely AMAZING!!!
That was just amazing folks. Best darn video I've seen for a long time. BRAVO
I love this!!❤❤❤ You all rock!
Half jamming to this bop, half taking notes for how to water my lawn and plants this summer in Denver. Awesome job!
Now this is how you spend tax dollars! 😂

The Splashstreet Boys are fabulous and informative! More of this! Also Denver Water must be a very fun place to work. 😂

This is hilarious and very creative. I'd totally applaud my city council if they did this.
This gave me the feels in all my spirits!
Oh, I love this so much!! Thank you, Denver Water! 😇💖🙏
I love this SO MUCH!!!! Huge smile on my face, way to go
This is a home run, no better way to get a critical but mundane point across to the ignorant masses. Bravo!! This should be aired nationally!! And hand out awards to the creator and performers in this video!!
This is the best thing I have seen today. Emailing everyone.
