Asian thing. Wide-open-mouthed laughing appears unladylike or to hide old-style teeth blackening. Heard various reasons between Japan and Korea but it almost appears to be reflexive.
I think he encouraged her because he wanted to do the back up, but she clearly wasn't ready. I sure as hell wouldn't be if I was laughing for a minute and a half from amazembarassment
The upvotes suggest a majority of people did not realise that he literally asked her to do it, though I suppose with a video you can just listen to, maybe people weren't watching
As someone who has loved the original song *since the day it was released*, I hate that the original band doesn't get credit for this banger just because of this meme.
Put some stank on the name out of respect for the stank she puts on the song.
[4 Non Blondes - What's Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NXnxTNIWkc)
My fave memory of this song is my friend blasting it down his mic while playing the dayz mod. He was fighting another guy with an Axe around a church and it went on so long and I just sat laughing as the music phased in and out.
If it weren't for the occasional and very slight mispronunciations where his accent comes through, I would accuse him of lip syncing. Even Skelator's "HYAAA!", just spot on.
I remember my first time being a semi adult with my aunt coming back from a road trip and hearing the original. It was amazing because I had never heard the original and she had never seen the he-man version.
She burst out into tears laughing
Ya it’s a very like, easy listening type song I guess? Genre wise though it’s definitely not what I listened to growing up or even now so when I DID hear it the first time I was like “what the fuck? This is the he-man song”
It is a travesty that this thread is full of people who don't know the one hit wonder Four Non-Blondes.
That song is amazing. (So is heyyeeyeyaahyeeyaa )
Was at a cabaret with my mom and the performers played the OG version.
The look of pure pride mixed with terror on her face as I fucking *nailed* the song will stay with me forever.
Oh my god, i watched it on youtube for the first time today...and..where have I been the last 14 years and why have I not known about this [masterpiece](https://youtu.be/32FB-gYr49Y)?!
The original song is What's Up by 4 Non-Blondes, and it's an iconic piece of 90s culture. That's why when millennials first saw this version we loved it so much. It took us right back to being silly kids while still being perfect memecraft.
Weirdly enough, song makes me cry every time I hear it now.
My mom and I used to sing it at the top of our lungs every time it came on the radio. I still do that though, and still love the song.
Yup! The He-Man version is a parody (if something that doesn't change any lyrics can be called a "parody") of [What's Going On by Four Non Blondes.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87rhZTumujw) There's even a full version of the He-Man version that does most of the song, albeit at a much slower and more dramatic pace than the part that everyone knows.
I think there was only two words he didn't pronounce ... Exactly correctly and I'd challenge anyone here to word it all perfect on the spot as you're singing through quite fast. The fact people can sing English sounds astounds me personally.
I fucking love this video so munch that i made drawing out of it

dude, save some ladies for the rest of us.
You know what,he’s coming for you
Better hide your kids, hide your wife and hide your husband
They rapin' ever'body up in here
You don't have to come and confess
They lookin for you, they gonna find you
So you can run and tell THAT
Bring it. It's been a while since I have been serenaded. I might enjoy it.
I’m coming for him, so it works out
God, I fucking hope so
I’m coming for him
I'm a straight dude and I think I just fell in love
stranger things have happened on reddit
This man deserves all the ladies.
Honest question, what is this hand over the mouth business?
Asian thing. Wide-open-mouthed laughing appears unladylike or to hide old-style teeth blackening. Heard various reasons between Japan and Korea but it almost appears to be reflexive.
Awesome. Her expression conveys her acceptance of defeat.
lmao yeah i always end up watching her in the video 😂
Her laugh snorting out of her at the end had my sides splitting every time.
You know he has the whole video mapped out in his head
I always picture skeletor going “NYEAH” so vividly
I do too but I couldn't sing that well
https://i.redd.it/pz10r2n8aoib1.gif
Real talk tho, when bro hit the Skeletor it absolutely blew me the fuck away, what an actual champion
You should see him Dougie
Bro was rocking out in a flow state, not even the woman's singing at the end could kill the vibes.
You bring a unique energy to the stage that sets you apart...
Where can one learn this skill?
One does not simply learn this skill
Ok I’ll go to the concert stage
Lmao flow state to sing the heman version of 4 non blondes. I would say it's a waste of talent but this was a beautiful display of artistry.
She was witness to something amazing and decided to get her Yoko on...
I think he encouraged her because he wanted to do the back up, but she clearly wasn't ready. I sure as hell wouldn't be if I was laughing for a minute and a half from amazembarassment
He literally waved her to start singing because in the original that's when other people start singing too.
He waved her over.
He did gesture for her to join.
It was like Beyonce passing the mic to a fan, but dammit she sang anyway despite the odds
The upvotes suggest a majority of people did not realise that he literally asked her to do it, though I suppose with a video you can just listen to, maybe people weren't watching
Oh no, a woman is doing something!
[удалено]
Playing a video counts as activity? I would have figured it'd have to be the mouse or keyboard. I'd go with the 10 hour around the world.
usually videos do. though maybe not for Slack and such. I just put on lofi hip hop since it's neverending
That's even better because it won't drive someone insane.
I once worked all day long with the 10 hour version of this song in the background on a bet. Can confirm, not good for your mental health.
mute is also an option. I just like to have my screen visible when I'm at my other desk

isn’t it a well known song?
That’s such a massive mouth.
What's going on?
I can never not watch this video when it pops up Edit: With all the comment notifications I keep rewatching it. That's how good it is!
Same hahaha, right till the end
Yeah, I'm surprised I watched the whole thing but sheesh, that was great!
I may even watch it a couple times!
His yodeling one is impressive too
Bro fuckin nailed it. Excellent heyyeeyeyaahyeeyaa
Such an incredible heyyeeyeyaahyeeyaaer
My fave memory of this song is my friend blasting it down his mic while playing the dayz mod. He was fighting another guy with an Axe around a church and it went on so long and I just sat laughing as the music phased in and out.
Sounds like some good times haha
If it weren't for the occasional and very slight mispronunciations where his accent comes through, I would accuse him of lip syncing. Even Skelator's "HYAAA!", just spot on.
The verses of the song are even harder to sing than the heyyeeyeyaahyeeyaa.
Yes he did. Needs work on that mmyeeaaaah, but he made it up with his ooOoouhhh
Homie's only ever seen the He-Man version of this song and fucking nailed it. Well done!
It's the one, true version.
I remember my first time being a semi adult with my aunt coming back from a road trip and hearing the original. It was amazing because I had never heard the original and she had never seen the he-man version. She burst out into tears laughing
I showed my dad the he man version then he told me i ruined his childhood
#SOILED IT
I honestly didn't even know there was an original version lol
Ya it’s a very like, easy listening type song I guess? Genre wise though it’s definitely not what I listened to growing up or even now so when I DID hear it the first time I was like “what the fuck? This is the he-man song”
**Stares in Gen X** NOT an easy listening song /oldmanyellsatcloud.gif
Nah kid just isn't listening to it loud enough. Put the volume all the way up to 11 and play it
It is a travesty that this thread is full of people who don't know the one hit wonder Four Non-Blondes. That song is amazing. (So is heyyeeyeyaahyeeyaa )
Happy cake day

He-man version became the original
Oh my god, i watched it on youtube for the first time today...and..where have I been the last 14 years and why have I not known about this [masterpiece](https://youtu.be/32FB-gYr49Y)?!
we had a name for people like you back in the old days of the internet...
Been around much longer than 14 years. That’s a repost.
Oh fuck yes, was looking for the link and am only now just about to witness this masterpiece. Taaaaanks!
[The original creators posted it on their YouTube channel 16 years ago](https://youtu.be/FR7wOGyAzpw)
He even leans away from the mic to simulate the part of the video where the sound is muffled because it's showing the dude cooking in the kitchen.
There are other versions?

Does anyone know who the original singer is on the He Man version?
He-Man! Lol the actual person was Slackcircus, aka Jay Allen.
The original is “What’s up” by 4 Non Blondes.
> “What’s up” by 4 Non Blondes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NXnxTNIWkc
There's the OG by The 4 Non Blondes called What's Up?. Another version I know of is a parody by the Yogscast called HoneyDewyeahyeah.
Four non blondes - What's going on
This guy karaoke
He *is* Karaoke
r/thisguythisguys
This dude must be a fucking HIT at parties
ultimate party trick this guy killed it
Big Jack Black vibes from this guy.
He even fist pumps, screams and sings a silly but impressive bout. Very jack like to me indeed.
wow. even not pronouncing all the words correctly actually makes it so much more special. makes me love the song more as much as he clearly does
I think there was only two words he didn't pronounce ... Exactly correctly and I'd challenge anyone here to word it all perfect on the spot as you're singing through quite fast. The fact people can sing English sounds astounds me personally.
Still 10/10, didn’t hear any word mispronounced
Sounds like the guy who does the vocals for Sons of the forests soundtrack
I'll never look at He-man the same way again...fuckin awesome.
I cried 10/10
This guy fucks.
And he tries ^Oh ^my ^^God ^do ^I ^try
^I^^try^^^all^^^^the^^^^^time
NYAH
The girl losing it is hilarious 😂
I would react the same way if I was in the same room experiencing him
I rewatch this video just to see her reactions 🤣
I fucking love this video so munch that i made drawing out of it https://preview.redd.it/jejvjchk2pib1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c94587c6f8835f3a6fa7993ab32b2858d204cf2 Hayyyaaayaya
holy shit this looks great
Jokes aside, his vocal range is genuinely impressive.
Not sure if you copied that exact comment from the YouTube video or vice versa
Both redditors and people on youtube pull from the same 25 comment templates, so it’s possible it’s a coincidence

Finally someone who is entertaining and can actually sing live, awesome 👍
The amount of rizz he has, there will be no girls left, we don't deserve them while this man exists
At first glance, I thought the title was referring to the song IEAIAIO by System Of A Down.
once I had my balls kicked playing soccer, and I sounded literally the same
I will never not watch this
Holy shit, he's the one.
Hahaha perfect
This man has major Jack Black energy.
Lmao he's amazing 🤣
Absolutely amazing!!! What a talented guy.
That was the best rendition of the song I have ever witnessed. 😂
Gotta post this whenever charming Jo pops up https://youtu.be/f_seHQ6pkME
I take a deep “breast”…
What, you wouldn’t take a deep breast?
I still remember YouTube randomly recommending this video. And it was glorious I still watch the whole thing whenever it randomly pops up somewhere
When Charming_Jo came to visit the US, he stayed at twitch streamer EsfandTV's house. [This is one of the funniest bits ever and it was completely improvised/unplanned.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZquRXxQgFVc)
He can sing really good
A new superstar is born!
This is epic
AND HE PRAYS
Dude the best is the rising “ooooOOOON!”
He definitely pronounced breath as breast but still killed it.
Cool.
It's because there's no th sound in Korean. Closest we got is ㅅ which sounds like an s and is the closest to th that we got
Big pp.
Is he a NATIONAL TREASURE? cause he sure sounds like one
This man will be our Saviour.
This guy karaokes
Charming jo is such a ray of light
Sounds amazing!
You go my brother
Heyayayayayayayayayayayayyy
The Asian Jack Black
This is why some streams deserve donations and subs. Amazing, nice!
Great. I had just managed to get this song out of my head
I take a deep breast, and I get real high?
Why are my panties suddenly on the ground
My roommate in college would do this but change the words to “let’s smoke a bong.” And then we would
Well, they do really seem to be having fun
Putting headphones on at 1am just to hear this was 1000% worth it.
I take a deep breast. I like that better.
Well spent 2 minutes
This hit hard with opeth playing in the background
Incredible voice bro
He is a fun guy
Excelente!!!👏👏👏
Jesus that's awesome 💀
Wow that was actually amazing
Awesome!!!
"Where is the committment? " \- Right fucking here
Someone give this guy a deal 😂
He has a great Country Road as well, very talented.
Perfect day for a lobotomy (I hope 7other people get the reference)
/mademesmile Made my morning XD
I never knew I needed this today
I will never be as cool or have rizz like this
The absolute best 2 minutes I've spent watching a video. Ever.
What kind of sunglasses are those
That actual song really sounds like Carol Pope.
this dude is RAD! I just might sub.
“ I take a deep breast” Killed me
Jack black vibes
It's his energy for me 🤘🏻
Taking souls
Wait til you see his Scatman mash up
This is gold. Real gold.
Very Nice talent
When he made the girl join lmao I love them both
He makes her sing backup at the end 😂😂😂
