Jazz Musician/Musician Explains...
We can make a religion out of this.
No don't
We can make a musical genre out of this.
*Yes please*
"How about I do....anyway?~🎶"
*NO*
@@becauseimapotato7599 YES
*slow clap*
You know somethings a masterpiece when A: It sounds amazing to average folks and B: Seasoned musicians have a hard time figuring out the chords.
@@noah568ify you say that like everyone and their mother doesn't know about him.
I'm somewhere in between a and b do this video makes it so much better
I don't think it's necessarily a masterpiece if a seasoned musician can't figure it the chords
You know something's a masterpiece when Charles makes a video about it
“Seasoned” 😂😂😂😂

if you made a (mini)series of “taking wurtz apart” i’d be here for every episode. i love the dude unironically. i found him years ago and i’m still a piece of garbage for bill :)
yes to the miniseries great idea
YES. I'd love to this this on some of his songs
Oh my god yes please make this happen Charles
Oh hi, thanks for checking in IM STILL A PIECE OF GARBAGE
I don't know about that, because something just tells me that Bill doesn't like his music is being commented, even is put ads in it.
But again, it's just thought, my thought. I hope that I'm wrong.
Charles: “Technically you’d call it a minor 7 sharp 5 chord, really it’s more like a B flat add 9 with the 3rd in the bass”
me, with no musical training whatsoever: ah yes, of course, makes sense
PepoThink
i just scrolled down to the comment section as i heard that in the video. i know exactly what you mean XD
Totally relate!

Charles is such a jazz musician that even when he’s not playing jazz it still sounds jazzy.
7th chords, Dominant 7th chords, 9ths, Sharp 11ths, sus2 and sus4, etc.
@@pentabitsmusic thanks for that, i guess?
@@snarkypuppytruther4666 lol
@@snarkypuppytruther4666 what they mean is that its still very much jazzy stuff lol
I think part of it is his tentative touch to the keys
My favourite jingle is: "Is loving Jesus legal yet?"
I'm having a hard time choosing between "It's the Seljuk Turks!" and "Now the Phoenicians can get down to business."
@@C0urne Oooh yeah good point😂
Guys, *THe SuN IS a DEaDLY lASEr!*
I love all of these but "even crazier space dust" and "something's alive in the ocean" my personal favorite
The sun is a deadly lazer was my notification sound for a while as well😂
Bill Wurtz and Jacob Collier should both be Courses in Jazz Music Schools.
hmm...
what a collab that would be
YESSS! I'd take that class
They’re on completely different levels though...
The less said about Collier the better. Wurtz is bae though.
*Bill touches piano*
"THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE LETS ANALYZE"
100% my favorite hit was "Now the phoenicians can get down to business!" I dont know how many times I've looped that to try to understand why it is such an eargasm.
This song has *baselines*
That explodes into *even crazier baselines*
*basslines
"That was one of my favorites"
"That was one of my favorites"
"That was one of my favorites"
Me too man, me too.
When I first heard "the history of the entire world, i guess" I knew next-to-nothing about music theory, but I've learned a lot more since then but I never realized just how amazing his composition skill are. I have a newfound respect for Bill Wurtz.
"Is loving Jesus legal yet?" is one of my faves, also "SoCIIIETYyYyy"
I love the sun is a deadly laser and TIME TO CONQUER ALL OF INDIA
OR MOST OF INDIA
i really like “egYYYYYYPT” “chinAAAAAA” “indus rIVER VALEEY CIVILIZATION” “norte chICO”
Mine is the Cambrian explosion, NO+the sun is a deadly lazer, the Iceland Greenland situation, the machines, and that's it.
Me,who doesnt understand music theory:
Hmm yes, continue
Same, I continue watching either way lol
When you have to learn jazz harmony to understand a meme
same! “Ah, interesting, of course!”
But your profile picture is sans holding up a stop sign
@@sophiaseth2769 lets ignore that lol **^**
I love how even with How INCREDIBLE Charles is, he just Melts and *Fanboys* Other Professionals in his Field.
Fr!! Such a humble guy
He’s so authentic in his videos. His passion for music is just contagious.
Do I smell a conjunction reference
It's so cute when he does it tho
Why is Your Capitalisation so Random
“Hey what’s up?” “Oh nothing I’m *still a piece of garbage*” please. It’s what I felt like scraping out of theory 3 and into theory 4
What I love about Charles is that he takes something we know and like (history of the world video, in this case) and articulates *why* we like it. I always think it’s so cool to be able to break something down and describe why it’s actually good or interesting. He’s got the ear to hear what’s happening AND the language to define what’s happening. It’s the same thing we do in acting work and scene study. Such an amazing skill. Props to you, my man.
I was looking for exactly these words for so long
in summary: Bill Wurtz’ rules to music is that there are no rules
From the words of Bill himself, "it's like playing chess except you throw away the instructions and just have an enjoyable time on the chessboard, instead"
@@NickiRusin wise words from a wise man
+ Bill Wurtz’s music rules
"Learn the rules, then forget them." -- Basho
in terms of rules, he has no rules...
"Oh hi, thanks for checking in...
Im StIlL a PiEcE oF GaRbAgE"
Iconic af!
Why im hearing that music just by reading that
i can hear this
This is my fiance's text tone, so I hear it constantly lol
Oooo I need a time stamp.
Then you'll hear Bill explain his music: "coz it sounds cool"
"it's the golden age of india" the bass fill in that one just kills me
"Except Turkey, Turkey makes a brand new Turkey" is a definite favorite of mine
YES
I sang this to my Turkey friend. They loved it
I'm Turkish and yeahhh
That, and also "new arrivals in india, maybe it's those horse people i was talking about, or their cousins or something, and they wrote some hymns and mantras and stuff"
I really really hope he comes back.
Edit: It's most important that wherever he's at, that he's doing okay. But, selfishly, I hope he comes back.
He will! He’s been learning editing with new 3D software for the last 15 months so he hasn’t stopped committing to videos! He has said on his questions page (billwurtz.com/questions updated regularly) that he will be following a release schedule based on Tuesdays.
Check out the Q&A section on his site billwurtz.com
16:14 that was actually beautiful, you should make a video where you cover of the whole thing
"it's so infomercial-like..."
*ad plays*
I'm almost certain the "crazier" in "even crazier space dust" is microtonal. Like A - A half flat - A flat.
EDIT: looks like i was wrong. he said so himself. honestly sounds more like A - G sharp (or A flat) - G listening again. must have been since charles played A - G sharp - F sharp and I got confused.
@bean boy it's probably just the vocal; that's all I can hear, at least
Eli Hooker Reese that would make it even crazier
@bean boy It was probably very thought out, as a xenharmonic chord at the word "crazier" is pretty fitting (at least imo)
Same
We've already proven Bill Wurtz is operating on a Jacob Collier plane so microtones are very likely to be intentional
YES I LOVE HIS STUFF! Legends reviewing legends. Musically I can respect and listen in awe at what he does, but my theory knowledge isn't nearly advanced enough to actually understand it. I'd love to hear your analysis of this whole thing, as well as some shorter songs like "the airport terminal" or "just did a bad thing"
Yes
My favorite is "Slow Down," there's jazz stuff going on but also it's just so goddamn groovy.
I like his last song
Airport terminal is my favourite song ever, I would love him to review it!
Him: Spends 10 minutes breaking down "how did this happen" melody
Also him: "How did this happen"
10:05
Me: half paying attention doing something on other monitor
Charles: Plays chord
Me: FIVEHUNDREDTWENTYFIVETHOUSANDSIXHUNDRED MINUTES, FIVEHUNDREDTWENTYFIVETHOUSAND MOMENTS SO DEAR
my mind automatically went to that lmao
Yup... The real ones thought it too 😂
THIS DESERVES MORE LIKES
Idk the song so i looked it up and-
I blame my time in choir. It's hard wired me to prepare when hearing that chord
me when anything goes wrong:
*H O W D I D T H I S H A P P E N ?*
Twin?
me: this is really interesting
Charles *starts naming difficultmoboligical chords*
me: *mindblown without understanding nothing*
That means you understood everything.....
@@tali_m8766 i Wish lol
tali _m8 Sonic Dark’s comment as a whole is just confusing
Me too man, me too
Without understanding nothing? That means you understood everything. Double negatives kinda things
THEY SOUND SO BEAUTIFUL especially when you deconstruct and slow them down
Bill is the jazz historian. He's introduced so many people to the fluidity of jazz music as immersive and interesting, without them even knowing.
I can imagine i that out of all the millions of people that watched his videos, at least a few thousand have had their vocal tastes expanded beyond the ubiquitous-but-simple pop melodies they have grown up with.
and he's not even a jazz musician in the first place lol
how does that even work
Charles: *plays exactly what Bill Wurtz played note by note*
Charles: yeah that might not be entirely correct but it's close
I have a really good ear and I like transcribing stuff, but when I hear Bill Wurtz and try to analyze it, my brain is like NOPE. There are too many voices going all over the place in there for me to track, and it's so mellow that you'd never notice if one was slightly wrong. The only one I know he got right is the last one (factories with machines in them).
The 148th Kakapo it’s like transcribing Jacob Collier on acid
The 148th Kakapo also the volume is lower on the instruments to the point the more complicated stuff is almost imperceptible
@@Anjiruu Yeah, that's kinda what I meant by "mellow." The ear tends to be directed toward the melody, which is probably intentional and certainly effective, but it means you have to listen to it 25 times and you still can't tell.
The “China is whole/broke again” example legitimately blew my mind
I’ve heard that so many times and I never noticed it
Charles: Says "How did this happen?"
me: I'm just gonna press that there like button.
Bill: *plays literally anything*
Charles: "That`s definitely one of my favorites!" :D
What a coincidence, was actually trying to find info on this earlier today!
Same lol
Me too and I was just watching it 10 minutes earlier.
SAME
Who wasn't?
How did this happen? Just joking... thank you for keeping my mind off of all of the riots. Truly Thank You
Everyone's saying "Do the whole thing" and I'm totally down for that, but my favorite line is "Hell yeah, now we've got business!"
Whenever I here one of Bill's jingles, I end up singing it all day; and every note sounds great every time.
Jazz is ending each argument with “of some kind”
Used this video to unironically study for my AP world history exams and I didn’t realize how genius it was until years later
Me: * watches Charles's jazz videos *
Also me: We can make a religion out of this
No dont
you’re not wrong...
No don’t How bout I do it *anyway*
@Brigid, how bout i do, anyway?
I will be religious if that will happen.
I've had "At The Airport Terminal" stuck in my head for a long time, and the porridge section is stuck in my head. I really liked this video.
What I love about this is that my feeling is that Wurtz just sat around seeing what sounded nice, not at all focusing on what chords he was playing or whatever, but Charles declares him a genius because it turned out so technically magnificent as well, love when ppl lift others up for doing something different
Music man spends hours trying to understand the pitching of a single sentence. You may be asking yourself:
*HOW* *did this happen?*
Gotta put emphasis on the first syllable of "happen", also.
The crossover we didn’t know we were waiting for 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I goddamn LOVE the “machines” jingle. I’m so glad you covered that one in particular... I could literally listen to those 10 seconds over and over again and never get tired.
Bill Wurtz forever. ❤️
It’s funny how on the face of it he’s “that silly random guy that says silly things” but really there’s so much genius behind everything he does
we need more “the sun is a deadly laser”
history about japan:
charles: how about i do.. ANYWAYYYYYYY
Nice. 👌🏼
That one line...love it, also how about SUN RISE LAAAAAND
AGH so many in his videos. hIrE a SamUraI
your joke falls flat because there’s nothing for Charles to disobey...
How have I not seen your channel before??? As a fellow jazz musician, Bill Wurtz fan, AND passionate learner, this video made my entire week. Subscribed.
Yo honestly, I can't stress this enough, I just found you and you may already be my favourite CZcamsr, you just seem like such an amazing and down to earth dude, and you're never in the viewers face. Nice video man, I'll be sure to check out some more of your channel
I would love to see an analysis like that for Bill's actual songs like La De Day Oh or And The Day Goes On! This video is absolutely amazing.
Or Mt St Helens is about to blow up
And especially "Just did a bad thing"
I would love an analysis of “the moon is made of cheese“
Honestly, Bill has so many great songs I'd be happy with anything- agree with every single one of you guys.
I'd hope to see an analysis of "Might Quit", specifically the "land of the two letter words" bit.
Charles: 10:06
Musical theatre nerds: FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MINUTES!!!
YES I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARD IT
Omg you're right
HOW DO YOU MEASURE, MEASURE A YEEEAAAAAAAAAR
MEASUREEE MEASURE UR LIFE IN LOOOOOOOOOOOVE *screech intensifies
Hahahaha exactly what I thought!
I feel like every time I return to Bill's content I rediscover not only my love for him as an artist but also a wonder and appreciation for music, humour and honestly like.. life?? Like last night just for fun I was exploring his website and found his questions page (which he's been active on and engaging with people regularly since 2015) and just had such a good time reading through his responses to people and discovered so much about how he views the world, music, art.. and just. Ugh. Bill Wurtz inspires me so much.
The melody for "Space Dust" roughly voices Dies Irae. And it's brilliant when we're talking about stars "burning out and dying".
I wish that he has an opportunity to sit down with Bill Wurtz and just talk music for hours.
"I'm Charles, welcome to this 150 part series of me analysing every single jingle of history of the entire world"
And every single one is his favourite
I'M DOWN FOR IT
"-I guess"
On "Space Dust" around 10:57, I'm hearing Gb add2/Bb as the second chord. When you play it back to back with the clip it sounds a little different. Nice video!!
10:05 why do I hear seasons of love from that ONE CHORD?
10:06 All the theatre kids watching this will instantly recognise this chord
Edit: Thank you so much Charles for the amazing way you teach music theory! I really appreciate the time and energy you put in to go over different and difficult concepts and your work has helped me understand concepts I haven’t been able to grasp for years!
I was looking for this comment YESSS
I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE! 😂
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
A deep part of me was awakened when i heard it and thought "surely not" but it was 😂
Charles on the first lick: “this is my favorite.”
Charles on literally every single lick after that: “this is my favorite”
Can't blame him, that video is such a classic
I love your enthusiasm while trying to decipher Bill's wonderfully complex and juicy chord progressions. I feel the same way while watching his videos
do a video on bill’s “slow down”. the arrangement is absolutely insane
Would definitely watch a deconstruction of La de da de da de da de day oh
Bill Wurtz: **does any jingle**
Charles Cornell: "This one's definitely one of my favorites"
Bill: does anything musical
Charles: Oh, this is one of my favorites
*I'd watch a whole 10+ hour video of you analyzing ALL the musical ideas in that video*
nobody:

Since he feels so similar to Bill Wurtz, I'd love to see you break down some of the weirder stuff of Louis Cole!

duuuude, you put it into words!!!!! i love bill wurtzs stuff so much not only for the memes but as a jazz musician, its so awesome hearing you break it all down with the same dorky enthusiasm i have for his stuff :,) if it wouldnt make you go insane id LOVE it if you were to do analysis on songs like “sexy pants” or “movie star” or honestly anything he does lmao, those were just the first to come to mind! i love your chanNEL you literally never disappoint :)
Wait till he finds out about Jack.
You know which Jack...
Jack Stauber.
He's good
15:59
The “so they can make” sounds just like the SAO opening
😂😂😂
Yes
5:08 it’s a blue note, in between F and F sharp. Also, the 2nd voicing is correct, just compensate for the blue note.
Please analyze the song “long long long journey” Even if the análisis is over an hour long I would still watch it.
You should analyse the "I'm still a piece of garbage" video. It's hilarious
My Theory is that Charles is secretly this other dudes Son.
The Son of Jazz
Damn boy Bill's not that old
@@Natalie-101 lol! :)
I bet he wish he was
You've succesfully explained the super-complicated bill wurtz's chords in the simplest way possible that even me who doesn't know music theory that much can still understand how the chords formed, thanks mate

That song is unique and have some kinda 3d effect on it
