Dan & Phil part 27: Let's Go Home

[eevee]

Wow so many people that don't use itunes?? People that actually use google play?? the google overlords would be happy.

speaking of, i'm surprised it's not a google play exclusive since dan and phil are part of google's empire, lol.

danandphilhq Dan -->

oh my god, will he stop wit the ?
Phil looks REALLY good in all black. he should keep it up.

only #58 here... not surprised t b h

My god. Can they please stop being so gorgeous ffs.

Also may I say a very good looking couple

Can't say I like Dan's shirt though.

Just listened to the song and damn I can't stop cracking up. This is such a weirdly endearing ridiculous thing to exist. And to imagine that they went to a studio to record this professionally with professional people and have it mixed and mastered and everything I'm just
And now it's in the charts everywhere. I'm done. If I ever hear this on the radio my life will be complete.

Honestly this is the funniest thing to come out of this fandom this year.

And now I can finally post my irrelevant little observations about the lyrics that are probably nothing new:

I love how Dan and Phils lines in the first half of the song are so cut out for them. They could just have split up the lines but what they sing still represents each of them as a character. I noticed that at:

[Phil:]
Without Twitter
Where would I be?
(..)
[Dan:]
But Tumblr's a part of me!

I always saw Phil more as the chatty twitter guy, who posts random thoughts and snippets from his everyday life and converses with people (and after all it's where his career hit of, right?) while Dan is such a tumblr person: sarcasm, meme shitposting, assembling and curating some weird #aesthetic, strong (and sometimes problematic) opinions...

[Phil:]
Where any question in your head
Is answered in an instant!
[Dan:]
Who cares if you procrastinate
Your one shot at existence!

Another one that is of course overused branding but seems to show a lot about how they view the internet in general: to Phil it's a place where you can look up all kinds of useless knowledge and talk to people, while Dan with the eternal doubt whether it's all just a waste of your lifetime.

And then after the "dance break" they sing this:

[Phil:]
Who cares if you're a loser
And everybody knows it!

[Dan:]
Or if you spend your life drawing whiskers on your noses!

[Phil:]
Even if your chances of getting tanned are slim

[Dan:]
Or if you like vicariously through the life of a Sim!

Which I'd say is all things that define them as a pair/brand together. (being a loser who never goes outside/is pale, PINOFS, gaming channel).

I don't even know where I am going with this, I just found it fun to think about and love that they clearly put a lot of thought into constructing the song!

nice analysis, but don't forget, they got help with the lyrics (they couldn't even rhyme the internet )

btw, Dan tans easily, doesn't he? cue all the racist jokes about mexicans he used to make. so the tan line is 100% Phil.

True they might have had help executing this, but it's the thought that counts

When was the last time Dan was tan like in 2010/11? These days he is almost as pale as Phil imo I mean you have to go outside after all, no matter how easily you tan
Also I feel like he's made the pale joke about himself before?

Anybody else think that Dan sounds a bit like his nose is all stuffed up/he has a cold in this recording? When did they record this even?

[smarties]

It's now 28 in the UK iTunes charts lol.

32 in the US, with half the country still waking up

It's now 11 in the Czech Republic, wow I had no idea they have so many fans here. Also wanted to say good one boys, this is something I really appreciate.

They are now #2 in the Philippines. I am surprised it even made it in the charts. I thought their fans here will just pirate it. Gosh. We really are intense fans. No wonder foreign acts keep on performing here.

#86 in Italy....
I'm pretty surprised!! I started looking at the bottom of the chart cos I was almost sure not to find them anyway and here they are

So now I'm wondering where are all the fellow Italian hiding?


The pictures from yesterday evening are super cute

[NarrysCanary]

danandphilhq Dan -->

I don't understand why he feels the need to do that pose, we saw on the other picture that he looks great without 'ing.

Is the song only available on iTunes ? If not, has anybody got a link to the song so I could listen to it ? Pretty please

edit : they still haven't tweeted about the song, are they going to talk about it during the ls ?

[Sakura Selfie]

They're number 21 in the U.K. now with no promo tbh that's pretty impressive

[nephilimcat]

Re: The Internet Is Here
Won't buy it because I don't use iTunes and I'm stingy and not interested enough I found it kind of cringy as a standalone thing I'm always cringing when people that usually don't sing start singing (karaoke and I aren't friends), I'm very surprised that I only had a mild cringe attack when they started singing in the show and actually enjoyed it. But I can't really listen to it out of context.
I can't believe they still didn't tweet about it. I doubt it's because they're asleep, it's too late, even for them. Besides, they had to know that it was going to be released. Wouldn't they want to promote it (not that that was necessary, judging by the charts)? Or do they have another reason?
They look good on the cover but very odd and fake. I do love those gold jackets though. The American flag ones looked hideous, I'm glad they didn't do flag themed ones for all the shows.

Re: Date Night Theatre Thing
I love Phil's sweater, it looks amazing I don't know if I like Dan's shirt. It's not ugly, but it looks kind of weird. I'm loving that pose and the startled deer expression because I am always awkward in photos myself and seeing two good-looking guys fuck up, makes me feel better :twisted: Such an endearing, awkward couple pair of friends

Is the song only available on iTunes ? If not, has anybody got a link to the song so I could listen to it ? Pretty please

Was gonna post their ranking here in our country but Diyes_Celine beat me to it.

They are now #2 in the Philippines. I am surprised it even made it in the charts. I thought their fans here will just pirate it. Gosh. We really are intense fans. No wonder foreign acts keep on performing here.

Here's proof though:

I'm surprised they're doing well here. I haven't met any Phan irl so I assumed there wasn't a lot of fans here. Happy to find out I was wrong. This fuels my hope that there might be a chance for them to come here.

Anyway, lmao-ing at this: http://youtubeobsessedstuff.tumblr.com/ ... trampoline
What if they're really just releasing a trampoline line?

Also, I hope someone calls them out on their date night and they respond to it.

[Moony]

Here in germany the internet is here is #107!
They do have a lot of fans in germany but they aren't known in the general public I guess
(only people without a life)
I hope they will be in the top ten... I don't know about your countries but the radio in mine only plays the charts over and over again (so you get a bit sick of them lol)
It would be so hilarious and confuse everyone who doesn't know them
(even though germany has a history with youtuber songs, oh god, the cringe... youtube germany is mostly terrible)

Cough cough

Isn't it 5pm in the UK? We can't blame this lack of announcement on sleeping at this point. Where you at, boys?

Mostly I'm just hoping this is for charity before I hand iTunes my money, but perhaps I'm too optimistic... Otherwise, put this thing on Spotify, yeesh.

ETA: Phil liked a Markiplier tweet from an hour ago. Shady little mofos.

maybe Dan's wife's waters suddenly broke and he's got to be at the hospital, so Phil is waiting for his friend to come back home to announce it together!

[PolarFox]

They look so coupley in that photo, I swear to god
I bought the song as soon as i could, ngl. I'll be lowkey pissed if it's on spotify later as well, but heh
Don't get why they are the song so far? Are we getting a clip?
Also they're #12 in Czech Republic, like what, I know no phans irl, what is this, guys pls hmu

Could also be that they're waiting for a time that most people can see it. Like they have a timeframe it's best for them to release or announce stuff

My guess is that they'll announce it at/around 7pm UK time

[ravenreyes]

i've been away for most of the day and there's still nothing? and lmao it's #1 here in sweden and they haven't even announced it.

also those pictures are really cute

Good morning! Happy about the song,but I wonder if it will only be itunes or if it's supposed to be everywhere and apple just released it early? I have a feeling if it was for charity not only would it say in the description, but SUTC would have 50 videos about it on their twitter feed. I cannot wait to unfollow them - so much spam.

Happy to be proven wrong!!

I LOVE Phils hair in that premier photo. can he always wear it like that? He looks his proper age. Also love how they are matching, and squished close together they way they always are in stressful situations.

[fancy_nancy]

just checked, they're #92 in the chart here

[lishachi]

dan tweeted! it's a charity single for SUTC. how lovely of them, gonna listen soon.

[SquishPhan]

I'm happy about this. Good job guys.

Tickles me the vid's on DINI.
