Bo Burnham: Make Happy (2016)

[single-every-single-day]

[hamiltonandpercyjackson]

[zachstonecelebrity]

Hello internet gays, it's Zach! Happy pride month! To celebrate, I'm going to find the end of the rainbow and reclaim the pot of gold that was stolen from you all by the leprechauns centuries ago.

i wish the songs from make happy were on spotify

[the-mortifying-ordeal-of]

Was asked what my favorite song is and I thought real hard about it, came up with a list of ten deep cuts that will always a) make me sing and b) make me feel. Crafting the list reminded me of Bo's Kanye Rant and I hadn't listened to it in a while! So my silly lil self thought I could pull it up and give it a quick little casual listen and nOPE. it doesn't matter that it's been years, that bitch still made me burst into tears when he was still just listing Chipotle ingredients. And then the actual shit happened. Oof girl that one gets me every time.

Bo Burnham's legacy challenge

(God, wth im writing)

Ehm- yeah...i was looking inspo for another legacy challenge on my spotify when i realized that i basically only hear Argentinan or Uruguayan music...and i'm pretty sure that here not many people known them- So i decided to go for Bo's songs!

And yeah, if you for some reason think about it, it was also inspired by "Perspective of god" ("you're not my children, you're a bad game of sims")

WARNING:

If you heard Bo's songs, you will know that there are some "spicy" or not kid friendly topics, so, if you're under 18 or sensitive, you may not read this one.
