Opera for Dummies: “Habanera”
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 04. 2023
- Everyone knows the beautiful melody of “L’amour est un oiseau rebelle” from Bizet’s Carmen, but few know what she’s actually singing about. Well, now you know! 😂
#classicalmusic #opera #comedy #piano
These are new lyrics I wrote inspired by the plot. Hope it gives you a good laugh!

Her milkshake brings all the toreadors to the yard
Yes! 🤣
@@brandonmanwell Honestly this is the same as Toreador but instead of broke girl sluttery it's militaristic sluttery. Saying you'll find love looking at you with a black eye or whatever the line was is just about as good as "if you have my love be careful"
I'm actually working on the Toreador song! It's tricky but the music is so fun@@jplayzow
@@brandonmanwell I'll swing by whenever it's uploaded if I can this has been one of my favorite series I've been trying to get into opera but I just don't speak the languages they're written in lol
if this guy translated a lot of classic operas, he might just have a solid musical comedy career in his future. excellent work!!!
It worked for Anna Russell!
I have some good news for you about the Short videos on this guys channel
I want to see this guy translate the entire ring cycle
The Okada Izou pfp just had me triple check my phone
While this person did an amazing job. His translation is not true
the chorus boys: he's gay!
carmen: Or European!!
He's gay!
YESSS
I mean, I know plenty who are both 😂
i Laughed a lot lol
Same difference
Fantasic! this is an absolute gem, and I am going to spend the next 15min giggling to myself watching this over and over again.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and that it made you laugh! :)
Same
This is my life now!
@@mayflower4vendetta so glad you enjoyed it!
This is the way
shake, shake, shake, shake killed me. Loved this.
Glad it made you laugh! :)
Sooo, to put it in other modern terms, Carmen's melon shake brings all the boys to the yard. 😅😂
thank you for translating these operas that were originally in fench or italian! now i understand them and i'm crying from laughter 😂😂
You're very welcome! So glad you laughed :)
Wait is this the actual translation??
@el760 Yes, not many people know this, but the song about big butts actually came from this opera
@@el760 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habanera_(aria) the original is in french because Bizet
@@el760nah, it's a parody
I freaking love these opera summaries. Now every time I hear these songs from these operas my brain immediately goes to what the actual meaning behind them is... And in some cases it makes the songs very out of place where they're being played.
I mean they had goofy sing a love song set to the tune of the habanera in the Mickey Three musketeers movie... If that's not hella out of place I don't know what is.
He has a talent for synthetic opera...very hilarious and with a beautiful voice ❤
You think that's out of place, try the Muppets version. It's either going to be adequately kosher somehow or weirdly ironic depending on your mindset, but it's still a great adaptation.
I mean… they’re implying that Goofy is a gigantic slut.
I was thinking about the Mickey three musketeers too lol
SIX HUNDREDTH LIKE!!!!
Never thought that opera have lyrics comparable to fever dreams
The combination of funny and accurate translation alongside the IMPECCABLE singing is just phenomenal, so glad the unfathomable algorithm put this in front of my eyeballs ❤❤❤
It's not an accurate translation...
The Baby Got Back part got me 💀
The Melon killed me
Shake shake shake shake 😂 so glad it made you laugh!
Is not gay, he's just from Spain. that's my new favorite quote 🤣💀
First time CZcams actually suggests something awesome in shorts. Now to forward your videos to all my friends
Just found your channel- love it. You have joined the likes of Tom Lehrer, Tim Minchin and Randy Rainbow as artists I admire for their talent, wit, commentary and sheer entertainment value (I'm also an opera fan, so the Opera for Dummies series hits the spot 😊). I look forward to hearing much, much more from you 😊
Thank you for the kind words. I love Tom Lehrer... What a compliment! More funny songs are on the way... :)
You have ruined me because every time I listen to Habanera now I instinctively start singing your version in my head🤣🫣🤣🫣🤣 I really am loving these types of videos though🤣🫣😍
Sorry ‘bout that! 😂 So glad you’re enjoying them!
He translates by meaning, not word for word. If it makes you better, the song doesn't literally sing those words. But in terms of meaning, he got the song's message spot on haha
@@cerebrummaximus3762I enjoy these videos a lot, but... not really, and don't think that was the intention, either. He basically summarized the setting and the beginning of the plot.
@@blueberryoatmeal4009 In general, from what I've watched, you may be right. With this video in particular he did do that, but he focused on the song.
@@cerebrummaximus3762I think there are videos where he did what you described, or came close: for instance, his version of "Oh mio babbino caro" essentially gives the message of the original despite not being a word for word translation. In Habanera, the original song describes how Carmen feels about love, while his version, to me, seems more focused on explaining to the audiece what's going on.
Agree to disagree though, I'm not trying to pick a fight. All his versions are great and do a fantastic job at making opera more accessible.
Not only are you able to play the piano and sing in every range, you can also write songs that had me laugh out loud!! Hats off to you, can wait to here more xxx
I’ve known most of these songs from pop culture since I was a kid, but never knew what they were actually about! I’m loving these videos 😂
Ok, but the smug smile after you stick the landing on that lisp is just the best. Ole!
This has got to be my tenth time watching this and it still makes me laugh!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
You're so talented! Thank you so much for a good laugh! Can't stop singing it now 😅
Glad you enjoy it!
A handsome man with beautiful voice and great humours, how didnt he get 1M subs yet?
also, you did forget beautiful melons 😅
This is the only way I want my summaries from now on 😂
Bravo! This was hilarious, keep up the good work.
Glad it made you laugh! Will try my best to keep the funny songs coming 😎
Your voice is amazing. Please never stop singing. I can't wait for your next video
Really loved the reference to Sir-Mix-A-Lot😂
Dude! Congrats on hitting that note! I mean, these shorts are hilarious but I was waiting with bated breath for that note!
Hahaha found it! Sir mixalot’s gone so highbrow these days having his lyrics featured in an opera aria. Brilliant!
I did not see Carmen pulling a "gay or European" there at the end XD
The talent behind that "ji-i-igle my bum" is already more than I could ever, this man is amazing
I sent this to one of my friends (she’s a classically trained singer) who performed selections from Carmen at a recital.
She told me “Where was this when I was in school?!”
This is my favorite opera. You have done it justice, sir.
Did not expect the Baby Got Back reference in a opera video 😭
This version of the song is now stuck in my head and I can’t unhear it😭
I am laughing so hard, my stomach hurts and tears are running down my cheeks! And my neighbors probably think I’m nuts. Brilliant!
friend, you are amazing I love your voice, the way you play and your humor is quite good
Thank you for the kind words! I'll try my best to keep the funny songs coming :)
Thank God for this channel. Who knew intelligent musical parody would be such a big thing on the internet? Love it! And so very well done 🫶🏻🙌🏻
Really appreciate the literalness of shaking that melon 🍈🪇
“He has a lisp because we’re in Spain” killed me 😂
Shake shake shake shake
I was so glad i was alone with the 'because he's gay' part, because my family woukd have looked at me really hard for laughing so much 🤣🤣
I was not prepared for that punchline.
You never disappoint!
Thank you! I'll try my best to keep 'em coming :)
The dead eyed "shake shake shake shake" was everything💀💀💀
Weird Al of the Opera scene!! Love it.
This is amazing! Holy shit!
The singing is top-notch, but the writing is ridiculously clever! Well done!
It's so funny, I've not had such a good laugh for a long time.😂
So glad it made you laugh! :)
This cracked me up! Thank you!
Don José isn't gay. He's European
You are the best. And yes, I am obsessed.
That was great ❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I binge watched like all of these, absolutely love them!
I have been listening to this all day!!!! I could watch you for days on end.
Thank you for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it :)
SAME!
I just watched a gorgeous presentation of this song on CZcams a few days ago. The mezzo was amazing. All the performers were strong. And now YT gives me your brilliant piss take.
I Ain’t Gonna Be A Rebellious Bird Anymore
Cause we're in Thpain 😂
The F# is spot on ❤ 0:58
Not gonna lie, was nervous about that note 🤣
Good one sir, love ur singing
This is genius… I laughed so hard. Thank you for this.😂
Yup. Worth the sub. Keep it up! I love your work here! 😂
I am so impressed with your falsetto!
Simply fantastic and I had a great time listening 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Perfect thank you ❤
Lol these are great! I subbed!!
I love these so much. I used to watch operas on SBS and could kinda guess what they were about but it’s good to actually know
I found this channel by accident and I love it :D I always make fun of opera plots.
Absolutely genius!!!
first of all i don’t know how i got here second of all his voice is actually angelic very nice tone in voice
Hilarious and so on point!!❤❤❤
Very beautiful.
Loved ot
Maravilloso 🤩
I am loving these opera shorts, personal request for some Gilbert and Sullivan material for dummies you are a mad genius.
You got me with the "big butts" part. Perfect.
Truly a masterpiece, but "Thpain!" laid me out!
Simply awesome 👍👍👍
God bless you for making so many people laugh. 🎉
The voice is beautiful ❤
This is gold 😂
they like big butts and they cannot lie -
you other brothers cannot deny -
I did not expect Sir Mix - A - Lot appearing here alongside an actual melon XD
lmao I can't see the song in the same light now haha (also, it would be awesome if you did an "Opera for Dummies" video for a piece from Giulio Cesare.)
But that is what this aria was about. It's not a literal word for word translation, so if it makes you feel better that is not what was literally sang. But the meaning conveyed is one-to-one.
Yes! I love it! This Carmen fan approves! 🤣👏👏
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED AND AMAZING
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :)
I saw this on Facebook and had to immediately find your other content. You have a new sub. I love listening to different opera arias and I love when people find out that this very famous song is just a slut anthem. I wonder if you'll do the doll song from the tales of Hoffman. Its not nearly as humorous as this, but it is popular.
Loved the twist! 😭😭😭
wow your vocal control is amazing!
I watched Carmen a few years back, and I can attest to the accuracy of this video
My 7 year old daughter is sick this weekend and she has asked for this video on repeat. She says that "you're awesome, very cool, and very talented." Thanks making beautiful things that can bring joy even amidst the flu!
You are GREAT😂❤
You, sir are right up there with Randy Rainbow, Tom Lehrer and Weird Al. Keep the good stuff coming.
My first video from you, I had to automatically sub 😂
🎉
Hilarious!!! Love it!!!🤌🤌🤌😘🥳
Amazing!!!
This is probably the second-best rendition of this music on CZcams. After Beaker's, of course.
This male is extremely talanted. He is playing very well piano, has a good voice, his lyrics are incomparable, he has a lovely sense of humor. Bravo🎉🎉🎉
The best one so far!
You need to release several albums of Opera for Dummies. Hell, the "For Dummies" people would jump at this shit in half a second!
I used to be in an orchestra (just 40-60 teenagers making a lot of noise really) and we also played the Habanera, and we were doing a concert together with an opera singer. Then one time during the break one of my friends said 'Did you know theres also a muppet version??' So ofcourse we watched the muppet version, and we were having such a hard time after that keeping a straight face playing that song. Every time the opera singer started singing like very profesionally and serious and we were trying so hard not to laugh😂 If we had found this video during that time, things would not have ended well🤣🤣🤣
so deeply, profoundly silly. i love it.
Loool 😂 this is My favorite opera❤
Please make a longer version of this. I already broke the repeat button.
This has been living rent free in my head for 3+ weeks and comes out at work sometimes oops
This is amazing!!! 🤣
Thank you! So glad it made you laugh :)
@@brandonmanwell it's hilarious🤌
Sent this to my (Spanish) dad he loved it 😂
