Stay tuned for the next one. Your animations are brilliant by the way.

@sarah His purpose isn't to make fun of it. If a considerable number of people are feeling disillusioned by national day songs, then perhaps there is a problem to solve.

I love the mix of sarcastic humor and information lightly stirred with your soft soothing asian voice.

Ok there seems to be alot of people disagreeing with the video or saying the songs are fine. Let me just chime in that for me, even as a kid in primary school, having these songs ehoved down our throats repeatedly at high volume, even if they were fine at first, we sure became sick and bloody tired of them after awhile. So imagine how it was if you started out already not liking the song. Sure some are fine and perhaps nice even, but then the lyrics completely turn me off from the song. For the most part, these songs just feel like a pathetic attempt at saying: "eh, yall very proud right? RIGHT? Singapore did good or something so you should feel proud and strive to achieve more and more. Yes yes we very united yes good good" or something along those lines and it just feels very fake and seems like a facade to show to other countries that we are very happy and united. It's kind of bullshit so... I don't know where I'm going with this so bye.

Fava Bean Honestly, it's still better than churning out with more shitty songs (notice the downhill since 2012?)

HAHAHAAAA! I love the lapping over with Barney! What an excellent illustration of your point! An excellent essay and intelligently made video.

Every year a new song. Do we even think about the words? Good to hear some deeper thinking and critical analysis.

am I the only one that feels a sense of achievement in correctly guessing the 'dream' word

Quality video, keep up the good work! It's rare to see Singaporeans making videos reflecting about our life/society

The song is alright but the song sounded too good to be true for a national day which will be very annoying to many who knows what Singapore really is. Tbh it sounded like North Korea Propaganda played in every unique ways in modern style.

I wonder why you ask them to look up the sky and keep saying dream many times jesus why does Singapore do it even the 2022 make me wanna die when I listen to the tune

You're right, singaporeans should be contented with what we have achieved so far. Stop dreaming of better future, cherish the present!

The barney part tho lol

I saw this video tied in to one of the singapore's songs and you got my sub, really love your deadpan tone and awkward voice, fits the sad coffee brand and definitely love the high effort you put in dissecting all these! looking forward to more!

Hey I'm from hawaii and love watching them you show more nationality than US you should be proud of that.

So true... maybe that is why Kit Chan's Home is, to me any way , is the best national day song.

I'm malaysian Feeling hype to see so analytical n thoughtful channel rather than just entertainment purpose only(too much for me) hope to see more in the future

I totally support what u say. Since late 1990s ndp songs are all about change, future, dreams, we're gonna get there someday blah blah. I mean, we are celebrating singapore "Birthday". Supposed to celebrate what singapore is NOW in all its glory. I hope they start doing NDP songs about Singapore NOW rather than about Singapore future. Isn't that's what celebrating birthdays are for? For what you are NOW?

That song suits barney so well.

We dun realli need a theme song for NDP... we just need to sing our national anthem and recite our pledge as one singapore enuff...

Oof i laughed during the Barney part

This is my first time listening to Singaporean National Day songs and I can already guess what is the oft-repeated word in the lyrics.

This was an excellent critique. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Nice. right on

I think Tosh NDP rap in 2017 is a good example. He stated Singapore's achievement such as "They said we never make it, but here we are" and "Since 1965, we've been raising the bar ", but it's such a pity it's not an official ndp song

tbh my fav ndp songs were the ones when I was in primary school cuz my school would play ndp songs during recess and because of that I learned the ndp song easily and actually enjoyed it, a small anecdote - once my whole cohort sang like one ndp song together and it was quite heart warming. Anyway ever since after prisch ndp songs were :-/, and now this year 2018 it was a remake of an old ndp song which is pretty cool I guess but idk. Now singapore not only has Singaporeans, but also much more foreigners compared to before, so it would be quite difficult to make a song that truly describes our country with so many differing opinions. Also a handful of people in the comments are saying you are just hating on ndp songs but tbh I find your opinion quite true and reasonable, I think they just don’t your message lmao.

Keep your work. Insightful and soul-searching. I'm a big fan. All nations fall short of their ideals; hence, the journey of nationhood is continuous.

Totally agreeable! It is quite disappointin to see a situation of recycling old NDP Songs this year. 😔

Barney + Singapore = Meme

Really well put together video

In my CCA we where just fitting our Friend names into the national shows and making home a mosquito song.

this video is soooo underrated

maybe alot of the recent stuff is just terrible, the propaganda has become more heavy handed as well over time

I just HATE the weird kids rap thingy

Anthemic. Specific. Poetic. Trust that clarifies

My ears died half way through

Omg i was so amused by this video good job man! You really managed to back up your realisations with legitimate thoughts and ideas. You feel like xiaxue 2.0😂😂

Sad to say some of them I have not heard before till now

Nah, they are trying to say we are barneys -Mev

Honest the songs are just for schools music teachers to teach something to the students… -Mev

I'm not sure about you guys but the only national day song that I like is Home

Haha, the Barney part is genuinely funny

Tbh I'm already done with ndp song. It just degrades every year and secondly, those songs are getting annoying - sounds like propaganda objects. Also the meanings of those lyrics are trash, like they never ever make us feel the urge to do something positive with the nation but just keep echoing in our head to do something that we aren't motivated by it.

You have a point

If the NDP songs are not adequate, while it's good to criticise it so it can improve, the best most effective way is to go into it, do it, produce your own version or alternative. Criticising is not too difficult, Creating is another. Good effort in creating this video as I did enjoy it.

Fantastic video.

I have to admit that I don’t like the recent songs ( 2018 is okay I think. ) But I feel the old ones are quite nice and catchy. ( The Barney one was great )

national day songs are now becoming more and more annoying, no offence

I agree.

That last line was so true ok bye

;) lol the ending sad coffee you do have a point in singapore

Good Hardwork and the fact that words and phrases keep repeating is true.

I agree tho they just keep using the same words and meaning and if yall listen to the beat its just a simple rhythm they really need to go outside of the box

Can i have the source of that pregnant surprise video?

One Singapore was my jam last time lol

You need more subs m8

One Singapore offended me.

Seriously, the tommorows here today song 2016 did not even have the word SINGAPORE in it although it us a NDP song

👍🏽

I would love the next National Day Song to be like Star Spangled Banner and only sung by FERGIE!

yes, but I always ignore the lyrics cuz when I listen to it ,I feel like flying out and flying around sg .I just enjoy the song ,not thinking of it words For me it motivated me , It motivated me ,that's all , I always separate between reality and dream 😂

I just blasted Soviet anthem into my ears. Ah, much better. Better than Singapore's national day songs. And yes, I'm Singaporean.

The new one is out.................

The lyrics are getting more and more vague. A few years ago, at least you know at least 70% of what they were trying to say, but now, there is no way to point out definitely what they are trying to convey.

At least they have meaning right ?

tbh my patriotism for singapore has declined since the so-called "golden age of NDP songs." notice how the parts where population loves to sing are always about unity and the present.

Nice video. The pregnant part one tho HAHAH it spoiled the whole serious mood😂

Brilliant!

One thing I know the new music Have too much rap. Is not even music or history because they change so much 🤔💭🎧 if Singapore NDP music like noth Korea background that is equal, they should add old Singapore video 📹 mix

I actually like this years song tho

I can relatee

Omg I live in Singapore, I don't think much of the NDP songs are weird and have a problem... Like before I watched this

Well thank god the latest song doesn’t have dream in it

the word is dream

such powerful message, but it's a fact 😉 4:57

And most national day songs from Singapore never make sense or have logic. Oh wait, I meant ALL.

Awesome video!

Well, what do you expect us to do? 8% GST instead of 7%?

if you that is bad listen to 2018 NDP song.Sure it is not bad but they weren't even trying to make a song,they were just basically reusing the same song.I will predict that 2019 NDP song is the national anthem.

I mean like I understand but This video needs to get to the staff to change..

2013 “Dear! Let’s go move to Canada 🇨🇦!”

wa the 2016 like nice sia

The new generation cannot relate because all they do is enjoy the peace and prosperity made possible by our elders, who had to work hard to make Singapore what it is today. That's why these songs and words cannot strike a chord with their hearts. There are no 'feelings'. Don't get me started about 'new citizens'. They probably don't even know what these songs mean and may even find them a joke.

Well, as a locally-bred Singaporean I already find some of them a joke, though one of them is more along the line of me blurting out "what the fuck" out loud every time I hear it. (guess the song I'm talking about)

So what if the lyric aren't in sync with the reality? Just cause the data shows higher data of people not racial harmonizing doesn't indicate that the song must be focusing on higher data.

Wonder how you feel about the new NDP song? No "dreams"... talk about uncertain future.... Think they heard you

some of the old songs will allways be better lmao

No! The English educated are 'out-going' and 'open-minded' for the four races that is why we did not take part or involve in any street riots. It is this magical wonders of the English Language!

Cool video, interesting arguements, and hilarious derps lol. I can most definitely see the constraints though, which is honestly, to me, pretty damn sad, or pathetic, depending on which side you stand. The same can be observed in many movies and shows made by locals though, which often reflect some "sepia-toned footage of kampungs or early-day HDBs", "the good old times", and "home". Like, do they really not have enough material to make something else? Or perhaps I'm just an oddity who got turned off by most local media who also loves monsters lol. ~~~ Also, on a whole different note, I'm just going to respond to the NDP songs with... a Dragonforce song. You have been warned. kzread.info/dash/bejne/jJpkp6SumJC9l5M.html

good video!

I feel like the ndp songs are getting worse over the years. I liked the 2002 one but I feel the 2020 one a little boring. Yeah that one Singapore where's the tune!? I feel like the others quite nice to hear, the tune but where's the tune on 2013??

Are even from singapore???????? And all the song are nice and old is our old singapore

I'm pregnant.
